The Return of the Legendary All-Master

Chapter 124

After finishing the Rune work, Jeong-Hoon stayed there, handling requests that came into the Enhancement Exchange or doing some light hunting to pass the time.

Beside him, Kim Bong-Goo was diligently hunting.

But this was slowly reaching its limit.

“…Um, how long do I have to keep hunting?”

Kim Bong-Goo stopped hunting and asked cautiously.

“Until that bastard logs in.”

“Ahaha… I see.”

“Then keep hunting.”

“Yes, sir!”

That son of a bitch.

When the hell is he going to log in?

He can’t even go back to the Japanese server anyway.

He’s not going to quit the game, is he?

He’s not going to stay offline for a long time, is he?

“You won’t have to wait long. The anxiety of falling behind will grow stronger and stronger.”

As if reading Kim Bong-Goo’s thoughts, Jeong-Hoon added.

And just as he said, it wasn’t long before Kaneda Shun logged in.

“You’re here.”

Jeong-Hoon grinned and approached Kaneda Shun.

Kaneda Shun hurriedly knelt and slammed his forehead on the ground.

“I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! Please spare me just this once!”

At his loud apology, Kim Bong-Goo ran up to him and kicked him in the head.

“You son of a bitch, why did you take so long to log in?!”

* * *

Kaneda Shun sat on a park bench near the capsule room, constantly biting his nails.

‘Shit… Shit! What should I do?’

He was sure that Jeong-Hoon would be waiting for him again.

He tried calling his brother Masahiro, but the only response he got was:

[Shun, it seems like you’ve messed with someone you shouldn’t have. Just apologize and get out of there. That’s the best option.]

Even his brother had turned his back on him.

In this situation, the Dark Lord’s Memoir was secondary.

The top priority was to escape this account suspension situation.

And to do that, he had to get out of that madman’s grasp.

“Fuck! How am I supposed to do that?!”

Kaneda Shun grabbed his hair in frustration.

“Mommy, that person is acting strange.”

“Shh, it’s rude to say that.”

In New World, the language automatically translated when switching servers, so there was no problem understanding, but this was the real world.

Kaneda Shun wasn’t fluent in Korean, so he couldn’t understand them properly.

‘Should I just apologize sincerely and leave?’

Yes. For now, let’s apologize and get away from him.

He couldn’t stay away from New World for too long.

Leveling up was essential, and he had to get back the Dark Lord’s Memoir that the guy had taken.

Dealing with that madman was something for later.

Kaneda Shun took a deep breath and logged into New World.

And he immediately knelt and slammed his forehead on the ground.

“Cough!”

But what he got in return was a kick from some punk.

And to make matters worse, the one who kicked him was the lackey who had been next to Jeong-Hoon during the party quest.

This son of a bitch?

Kaneda Shun’s eyes widened in anger.

“Brother! Did you see his eyes?! His attitude is rotten from the start!”

The lackey then ran straight to Jeong-Hoon, who was behind him.

‘Shit, how did I end up in a situation where I’m getting kicked by an idiot like that?’

He wanted to slit his throat right there and then, but now wasn’t the time.

Kaneda Shun suppressed his boiling rage and knelt again, pressing his forehead to the ground.

“No! Please spare me! I was wrong!”

Jeong-Hoon let out a hollow laugh in disbelief.

“Hey Bong-Goo, why am I your brother?”

“You’re older than me, and you’ve taught me a lot, so you’re my brother!”

“…Anyway, step aside.”

“Yes, sir!”

Kim Bong-Goo hurriedly moved to the side.

Then Jeong-Hoon approached Kaneda Shun.

“You were wrong?”

“Yes! I really was! I’ve deeply reflected on my actions while being banned.”

“Come on, be honest. You’re begging because you have no other choice.”

“…N-no, that’s not true.”

“If you lie, you’re dead.”

Jeong-Hoon had the upper hand over Kaneda Shun.

He already knew what he was thinking.

So he had absolutely no intention of letting him live.

“No! If you spare me just this once, I’ll never show my face again!”

At that answer, Jeong-Hoon slit Kaneda Shun’s throat with Leviathan.

Kaneda Shun, who had been bowing with his forehead on the ground, died once again, helplessly.

“I told you, you’d die if you lied.”

Jeong-Hoon muttered and put Leviathan back into his inventory.

Kim Bong-Goo, watching this, trembled all over.

‘If I mess with him, I’m screwed. For real…’

He vowed once again that he would never mess with this viper, no matter what.

“Let’s get going.”

Having finished his business, it was time to head to the Wyvern’s Nest.

“Yes, sir!”

Kim Bong-Goo answered energetically and followed Jeong-Hoon.

* * *

To get to the Wyvern’s Nest, they had to take a somewhat special route.

First, they revisited the stable in the capital.

“Oh? What brings the hero to the stable?”

Gareth was at the stable, preparing to leave.

“Are you returning to the royal palace?” Jeong-Hoon asked

“Yes. There’s no reason for me to stay at the stable anymore, so I have to go back to my workplace.”

“I see.”

“But what brings you here?”

Gareth put down the sword he was holding.

It was a gesture that indicated his willingness to fulfill Jeong-Hoon’s final request.

“I want to go to the Sky Field.”

Sky Field.

It was a new field introduced with the addition of Märchen to New World.

This was the reason for the existence of the stable.

‘I can’t go to the Wyvern’s Nest on foot.’

They were creatures that lived in the sky.

How could he reach them using a portal on the ground?

To get there, he had to cross over to a separate field that existed in the air.

And this stable was the place to do that.

“Ah, so you want to use a Pegasus to get there.”

NPC Pegasus.

It was a flying horse that had to be used to reach the Sky Field.

“Yes.”

“Hmm, but what should we do… There’s not a single Pegasus left right now.”

“Not a single Pegasus?”

“Yes. The truth is…”

All the Pegasi had been mobilized to spread the news of Jeong-Hoon bringing peace to Märchen.

Because of that, a strange situation had occurred where not a single Pegasus remained.

Well, it wasn’t impossible, considering there were only five Pegasi operated by the stable in the first place.

“Hmm…”

This was a bit troublesome.

It was no different from a setback in his plans.

Gareth scratched his head with a regretful expression.

“I’m so sorry. All the Pegasi will return in about four days, so why don’t you come back then?”

Four days later?

Kim Bong-Goo, who had been listening to their conversation from behind, inwardly cheered.

If they couldn’t leave immediately, it meant he could forcibly take a break.

Surely he wouldn’t make him hunt even after coming all the way to the royal capital?

But Jeong-Hoon’s reaction was different.

“No. Then I’ll have to find another way to get up there.”

What nonsense was this?

Kim Bong-Goo’s face instantly fell.

“Another way?”

Gareth tilted his head in confusion.

“Yes.”

Jeong-Hoon nodded and then headed to the Alchemist’s Street.

The last time he had visited the street, he had sought out Leblanc and Reigniter to obtain the ‘Transcendent Enhancement: Legendary.’

But this time, he wasn’t looking for them.

Jeong-Hoon stopped in front of a shabby shop.

It seemed like it had been a long time since any customers had visited, as the entrance was completely unmaintained.

“…Um, why did we come here?”

Kim Bong-Goo asked cautiously.

It was natural for him to be curious since they had suddenly come to the Alchemist’s Street and were now in front of a shop with no customers.

“You’ll see.”

* * *

Alchemist Wi-Gang.

He clicked his tongue, looking at the fly-ridden interior of his shop.

“Tsk tsk, foolish people. They’re too afraid of the side effects to experience this precious magic?”

Great performance, but severe side effects.

A failed product as an alchemist.

Of course, he had chased away all those who spouted such nonsense.

As a result, Wi-Gang’s shop was left to gather dust.

Knock. Knock.

“Anyone there?”

Someone knocked on the shop door.

“Hmm? Who is it?”

Wi-Gang reached out his hand.

The closed door opened automatically.

The door was rusty and unmaintained, making a loud creaking noise.

Two customers entered through the open door.

And they were foreigners.

“Foreigners? As you can see, there’s hardly anything useful in our shop. So if you could just leave…”

“Is there a way to fly temporarily?”

Pause!

Wi-Gang’s body, which was about to shoo away the foreigners, froze.

“Wh-what are you looking for?”

“I was wondering if there’s a way to fly temporarily. I heard you’re researching something like that…”

“Mwahahaha! Good! Now I see you’re a real customer! Come in and let’s talk!”

Wi-Gang’s attitude did a complete 180 as he ushered the foreigners inside.

Unlike the unkempt exterior, the interior where he lived was quite tidy.

He placed two vials filled with green liquid on the table.

“…Ha, another drink.”

Kim Bong-Goo’s face fell.

He had suffered so much during the last party quest that he now felt nauseous just looking at drinks.

[Flight Potion]

– Type: Consumable

– Grade: Epic

– Grants the ability to use flight skills for approximately 1 hour after consumption.

– However, there’s no telling what side effects might occur.

The reason Wi-Gang’s shop was unpopular.

It was because of these ‘side effects.’

Flight magic utilized gravity and was a very tricky magic that even Jeong-Hoon hadn’t mastered.

It had the tremendous effect of allowing the use of flight magic for an hour with just one potion.

But in exchange, one had to accept the corresponding side effects.

“How much is it?”

Of course, even with side effects, there was no option not to drink it.

“Huh? You really want to buy it?”

“Yes.”

“…2 gold per potion. Will you buy it?”

“Yes. Give me 4.”

“You’re decisive. I like that.”

Yes.

That’s how a man should be.

Wi-Gang, impressed by the appearance of a true man after a long time, brought out six vials instead of four.

Seeing six vials, Jeong-Hoon tilted his head in confusion.

“I ordered four, didn’t I?”

“Two are a service. Just give me 8 gold.”

“…I’ll gratefully accept them.”

Jeong-Hoon handed Wi-Gang a small pouch containing 8 gold coins.

“I hope you have a good experience.”

After completing the transaction, Jeong-Hoon left the Alchemist’s Street with Kim Bong-Goo.

They headed to the eastern field, where they could cross over to the Sky Field.

“Drink it all.”

Jeong-Hoon gulped down the potion.

[You have acquired the Flight Skill (1 hour).]

He gained the Flight Skill for 1 hour.

“Yes, sir!”

Kim Bong-Goo also followed Jeong-Hoon and drank the potion, acquiring the Flight Skill as well.

“Now, let’s go.”

“Yes? Do you know the way?”

“Of course I do. Why are you asking?”

He had visited the Sky Field dozens of times, so he knew the way well.

Jeong-Hoon used his mana to cast the Flight spell, and his body floated up into the air.

Now all he had to do was control his mana and propel himself forward.

As he increased his speed, Kim Bong-Goo hurriedly cast the Flight spell and followed behind Jeong-Hoon.

“W-wait for me!”

* * *

Sky Field.

A special field created above the skies of Märchen.

Winged monsters constantly flew around the area, searching for prey.

[Lv. 190 Wyvern]

It was a dangerous monster, level 190.

Jeong-Hoon and Kim Bong-Goo arrived in front of that field.

“Ugh… I’m scared.”

Kim Bong-Goo was barely standing, holding onto his trembling legs, while Jeong-Hoon leisurely looked around.

“Let’s rest for a bit before we go in. The side effects will kick in once the Flight magic wears off.”

“Side effects?”

He seemed to remember seeing something about side effects.

But since Jeong-Hoon drank it, he drank it too.

“Just endure it.”

“Excuse me…?”

It didn’t take long for him to understand what Jeong-Hoon meant.

As the Flight magic wore off, intense pain wracked his entire body, and Kim Bong-Goo collapsed on the spot, foaming at the mouth.

Jeong-Hoon was also suffering, but he had experienced worse pain, so this level of pain was bearable.

[Using Purification.]

Jeong-Hoon quickly shook off the side effects using Purification.

Side effects were considered abnormal statuses, so they had to be removed using Purification instead of Healing.

[Using Intermediate Healing.]

Then he healed and recovered his damaged body with Healing.

After recovering, Jeong-Hoon approached Kim Bong-Goo and cast Purification and Healing to treat him.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“Huff! Huff! I-I almost died…”

“Come on, don’t be a baby. Anyway, get ready. We’re going to clear the dungeon while doing a live broadcast today.”

“Live?”

“Yeah.”

Lv. 190 Wyvern’s Nest.

The next honey tip video after the enhancement was going to be about this dungeon.
