Insanely-Talented Player

Episode 142

《Essence of the Immortal Lord〉

- Rating. Unique

- Effective

. The protection “He who cheats death” activates at all times with a 100% probability

. ???（Unreleased）

- Explanation. What is more fearful than death is the fear of death itself.

Georg, the undead lord and the player formerly known as the Tombkeeper, has fallen. Afterwards, another ‘essence' was given to Yooseong as a reward for defeating the monarch.

Just like when I defeated the disgusting Fusion Lord earlier.

The effects of the Fusion Lord's essence, such as super regeneration ability and adaptive cell armor, are also abilities that can be said to be deceptive. Nevertheless, the light could not help but fade in front of the effect of the immortal monarch's essence.

Protection 一《He who cheats death）

- Grade - Extra (Ex)

- Effect

. Has a 50% chance to return an instant death blow to nothing. (Cooldown 720h)

It has a cooldown of 720h and even that has a 50% chance. The ability can be used permanently without cooldown or even probability restrictions. Another ability still remains a mystery.

It was truly an undoubted power of immortality.

And that wasn't the only reward for defeating the undead lord.

［Your level has risen!］

［Experience will increase significantly!］

［Title 《Monarch Slayer〉 will be strengthened...』

［Achievement Points...］

［Skill Cards...］

Amid the pouring rewards Yoosung calmly raised his head.

The power of super regeneration and the ability to cheat death would already be a power that far exceeds the laws of this game.

I was able to realize it at the same time.

Without going beyond reason to that extent and obtaining the power of the transcendent, it is impossible to face the ‘true transcendents’ above.

Like the shooting star and Georg, this is just the beginning. The distance between the player and the monarch will become narrower and narrower, and the intentions of the beings looking down on this game will also be revealed as if lifting a curtain.

“Whoa.”

He adjusted the sword in his hand and turned his head.

The hell, reminiscent of the Normandy landings, came to a halt.

Lieutenant General Kilgore and Maria in a crimson suit were there, but other than that, the player was nowhere to be seen.

“Are you finished?”

Maria asked again and Yoosung turned his head again.

Before we knew it, the battle between the clashing forces was coming to an end.

It was an overwhelming victory for the ‘attacker forces', including Lily of the Bloodline Vampire Witch Coven, the Magic King, and the forces of the Warlord.

There was only a fleeting pile of ashes scattered where the immortal monarch should once have been. Yoosung opened his mouth as he looked at the scattering ashes.

“Now it begins.”

Rattling.

And right then, the scenery of the world stopped. It's like stopping the hands of a clock.

[Entering the rare store....]

Jingling.

The bell rang sweetly. It was a scenery W) sound. The smell of books filled my nose.

“Come on.”

As I looked around, I saw a shooting star greeting me with the scenery of an old-fashioned bookstore, as if time had stopped. The mechanical girl sat at the counter and opened her mouth inorganically.

“I missed you W1, man.”

“Yes, I missed you too.”

Yoosung smiled obediently and answered. The mechanical girl, the black-haired girl, spoke calmly.

“I accumulated a huge amount of achievement points.”

“Why are you telling me to buy a pack of cards?”

“Are you going to buy it for me?”

“Fuck you.”

“I hate you uncle.”

The girl answered poignantly and put down the book she was reading. Yoosung said while looking at that.

“A lot of players... died.”

“Yes, I know. Such a waste. “I didn’t sell many card packs.”

The mechanical girl answered calmly.

“Is there any special product that can save them?”

“doesn't exist. I can't buy dead person card packs. “I can’t live forever.”

“I guess so.”

“Because miracles don’t happen that easily.”

The myth she gave. It reminded me of Laplace's barrier, a unique level skill. That miracle still existed in Yoosung's skill deck, and it would perform its function as a joker card at the end.

I looked through the products in the catalog in silence. And in the meantime, I took a deep breath when I saw an unexpected item.

Store rarity upgrade 一 You can upgrade to Heroic Legend level!

Until season 5, when Tier 12 was the last, the only way to upgrade store rarity was to ‘Rare'. However, there are as many as three levels of store upgrade items available.

Therefore, there was no reason to hesitate before purchasing the rest.

“Can I upgrade the store to legendary level right here and now?”

“Yes, you will need a lot of achievement points.”

“Pay now.”

“I need achievement points ioooooooop. “You’re going to use up almost all of your achievement points.”

I have no choice but to use up the hundreds of millions of achievement points I have accumulated so far. But there was no reason to hesitate.

“Then why not write it?”

As the level of the store increases, the products it carries also improve. 1+10] It was a result no different from 2.

Achievement points are ultimately accumulated while playing the game. Even if it was piled up to the point where it sounded like billions of dollars, nothing would change.

Immediately after, light swept across the area where I was standing. The scenery of the old bookstore with the smell of books disappeared and a new scenery greeted the shooting star.

Legendary level store.

[Entering the legendary store...]

It was the scene of a luxurious department store covered in pure white pearl marble.

And the mechanical girl was greeting the shooting star, wearing a gothic dress as usual.

I just looked around. It was right then.

“Oh, this is it.”

A very familiar voice came from the department store. When I turned my head, there was a face there that I really didn't want to see.

Lord Michael, a blond kid in a suit, was there.

“You got here quickly.”

“So, is this roughly a department store for transcendental people?”

“You can see it that way.”

It wasn't just a shooting star there.

Lord Mikhail and other clan vampires... In addition, unidentified ‘beings on the tower' were walking there.

“Can tower forces or monarchs earn ‘achievement points’ like players and use them as currency?”

“It’s an achievement point… in a way, it can be said to be so,”

Lord Mikhail continued.

“But this is what we call it.”

“what?”

“Karma.”

Mikhail answered Yoosung’s question coldly. Achievement points and ups... karma. Yoosung’s expression froze coldly at those words.

“Kang Yu-seong, the king of heroes. “You are a vampire who walks the world of the tower and has the name of ‘Magician King’ and at the same time exists as a compatriot of our blood family.”

“Oh right. “I was a vampire.”

“Please feel free to look around and carefully choose what you need for our victory.”

“Oh, damn it. “I lost everything while upgrading.”

“Oh, you don’t have to worry about that.”

［The Lord of Witches

gives 1000000000 Karma to the ‘Wizard King'

!]

[The Lord of Blood gives 5000000000 Karma to player Kang Yoo-seong...]

[The Shadow Lord gives player Kang Yoo-seong...]

Immediately afterwards, the meteor These three cooperating monarchs bestowed ‘karma’.

The size and number of digits were different.

It was on a scale that could not even be compared to what Yooseong, as a player, gained from defeating enemies.

“This is a world where even if you work hard, you won’t earn much.”

Yooseong muttered in bewilderment and looked around. At the same time, the machine girl spoke.

“Man, a lot of investment has been made. You can buy as much as you want. “He’s very rich.”

“Okay, what should I buy with this?”

“Buy me a pack of cards.”

“Fuck you.”

“It’s going to be a myth.”

After exhaling, the shooting star crossed the white pearl marble. Like a showcase at a department store, countless products were on display, and they were not there for just one player.

The shop of transcendents.

Yoosung’s steps as he crossed the showcase stopped. I raised my head.

It wasn't to buy anything in particular. This was because an unexpected presence was blocking their path.

“Oh, this is it.”

There was a silhouette there, wearing a jet black velvet dress and holding a scythe.

“How can you go shopping so calmly even while a war is raging in your tower?”

Yooseong asked sarcastically, and the Nightmare Lord answered.

“As you know, this place exists at the ‘edge of time.’ And isn’t an abundance of materials more important than anything else in the world to wage war?”

“If we fight here, there won’t be any left, right?”

“The ruler will move.”

The Nightmare Lord smiled. A force loyal to the ruler of the ruler game.

“I was curious about what the monarchs of the world do on a daily basis. I didn't know that you would enjoy shopping at department stores like this. “How on earth do people look up to these guys so much and tremble because they are gods and transcendents?”

Yoosung mocked and laughter was heard.

It was the laughter of the ‘clown lord’ echoing from beyond.

“Just because this landscape cares about you,

don’t think that what happens here will also care about you.”

At those words, the Nightmare Lord sneered coldly.

“Watch your mouth.”]

[The Lord of the Game warns coldly.]

Just then, a message occurred to me.

“Oh, this is so rude.”

That's why the Nightmare Lord smiled and answered.

“Then I’ll see you again on the battlefield in the tower,

King of Heroes.”

With those words, her silhouette blurred and soon disappeared.

It was right then.

“Who wants to see you?”

Suddenly, the mechanical girl behind me opened her mouth.

“You want to see q?”

“huh.”

The mechanical girl nodded, and the landscape of the area they were standing on began to distort.

Whoa!

Immediately after, a bone-chilling chill swept over me.

“Ah, lovely child. “You don’t know how long I’ve waited for you to reach this place.”]

[The Frost Lord welcomes the player ‘Kang Yu-seong’ with open arms!]

“This place is...?”

The frozen ground filled with bitter cold and ice stretched beyond the horizon.

[“What do you see, child?”]

[The Frost Lord giggles happily.]

“The refraction of light in the retina and lens... It is not a good habit to rely on light to determine the shape of the world.”]

“Useless. ” “Did you call me just to chat?”

“Oh, that can’t be right.”

The shooting star asked back, and as the cold ground swirled, a silhouette appeared.

“...

“Now, do you want to receive this power?”

Immediately after, the cold magic swirling within Yooseong's body began to tremble as if it were about to explode.

“I am the child who stayed up through a thousand winter nights and a thousand winters.”

Finally, I was able to realize what the ‘time' the Frost Lord had been waiting for was.

The essence of an immortal lord and a cheater of death.

The bitter cold that cannot be achieved without overcoming death began to engulf Yooseong's being.
