‘There’s no need to think about which skill to level up.’
I was thinking of leveling up Karzel’s Card Summoning.
Although it wasn’t a big help in this battle, Card Summoning was a surprisingly difficult skill to level up.
On the other hand, I thought that Thunder Strike and Phantom Shift were easy to level up since I used them often, so I was about to say Karzel’s Card Summoning when I saw a new message window pop up.
[Subjugation Request Completed!]
[The great person who sent Demon King Agreenes back to the world of nothingness is Rudin-nim.]
[Congratulations. Player ‘Rudin’-nim has acquired 7 rare treasures from the Church of Light and each country as a reward for the subjugation request.]
[Ding!~ You have acquired ‘Dawn’s Chalice’, a rare treasure of the Church of Light.]
[Ding!~ A rare treasure of the Harpe Empire……]
“……”
Following the Church of Light and the Harpe Empire, messages appeared stating that I had obtained a total of 7 rare treasures, including those from the Karzen Kingdom, Iot Kingdom, Anis Kingdom, Pronia Kingdom, and Ronda Kingdom, but unfortunately, these were not items I could keep.
‘Rare treasures……’
They would be divided between the Allied Guilds that cooperated in the Demon King raid and through an auction.
‘Come to think of it, what happens to the Yonggammusang Guild?’
Because Aizen had arbitrarily formed an alliance, the situation became a bit strange.
Of course, there was no need to overthink it; I could just let the Yonggammusang Guild participate in the auction.
But would the Allied Guilds just stand by and watch?
I didn’t know much about the Allied Guilds, but I was certain they wouldn’t.
Surely, something would be said about Aizen’s actions.
‘……Well, Aizen will handle it.’
After all, there was nothing I could do. So, I decided to leave it all to Aizen and level up Card Summoning before I forgot.
“Karzel’s Card Summoning.”
[Ding!~ The level of S-rank skill ‘Karzel’s Card Summoning’ has increased.]
[Stats Magic Power 10, Summoning 10 increased.]
‘That makes it level 14.’
Considering that Thunder Strike, which I had been diligently leveling up, was only at level 12, this was an extremely slow pace. Still, if I kept leveling it up while defeating raid bosses like this, it wouldn’t take too long.
[Next, additional rewards will be given based on Contribution Points.]
‘Huh? The messages aren’t over yet?’
[Rudin-nim’s total Contribution Points are 51,750. Result…… 1st place.]
[Congratulations! You have achieved 1st place in Contribution Points in the subjugation request and have demonstrated your prowess. The Church of Light, having heard the news, will deliver a more special reward to you.]
[Ding!~ You have acquired ‘Holy Attire of Faith’.]
“Rudin-nim.”
“……?”
Suddenly, I looked away from the messages and saw Nayra. She had recovered some of her energy and was getting up from her seat.
Nayra, who had risen from her seat, bowed politely and said,
“Thank you. If there is anything the Church of Light can do for you, please come find me.”
“Are you going back?”
Her words sounded like a farewell.
And as if to confirm my thoughts, Nayra nodded, expressing her agreement.
But how was she planning to go back?
When we went to the Veadi Mountain Range, she used a teleportation device like the players, but now, Nayra was bizarrely disappearing on the spot.
“I will be waiting at the Church of Light.”
Well, that’s a convenient way to go back.
With those words, Nayra completely disappeared.
Perhaps I could meet her again if I went to the Church of Light, but I probably wouldn’t have any reason to go there……
[NPC quest completed.]
[Acquired 5,000,000 quest experience points!]
[Level up!]
[Level……]
[Acquired 250,000 Divine Contribution Points!]
[Ding!~ You have acquired Divine Contribution Points for the first time. Divine Contribution Points can be used to receive various rewards from the Church of Light spread across the continent. If you would like to know more, please visit the nearest Church of Light.]
[Ding!~ You have acquired 400 gold.]
[Ding!~ Acquired reward item ‘A-rank Faith Random Skillbook’.]
[Ding!~ As a quest completion reward, you can use the treasure vault of each Church of Light.]
[Ding!~ As a quest completion reward, the Favorability of all NPCs belonging to the Church of Light increases by 10.]
‘I guess there is a reason to go.’
Since I had acquired 250,000 Divine Contribution Points, I thought it might be a good idea to visit the Church of Light. I tried to look over the messages again, but before I could, someone approached me with a smile.
“Thanks for the good show. But what was that at the end?”
‘By the end, does he mean the Orb of Prayer?’
I looked at Heuksin, who had approached me.
Since he was just summoning Skeleton Warriors from behind, he looked perfectly fine even after fighting a Highest-ranking Demon.
But that was also a skill, so I couldn’t say anything about it, and I decided to answer his question first.
“What about the end?”
“That skill you used to summon dozens of knights. Did Twilight have such a skill?”
I thought he was asking about the Orb of Prayer, but surprisingly, Heuksin was asking about the Paladin Summoning skill.
‘Well, it’s only natural.’
If someone showed me a skill that summoned 100 knights, I would be curious too.
Honestly, it was a good thing it was a one-time use skill; otherwise, it would have been called the ultimate cheat skill, surpassing even S-rank skills.
“It’s a one-time use skill. I can’t use it anymore.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
Heuksin seemed a little disappointed at the news that I couldn’t use it anymore. He probably wanted to learn it if it wasn’t a one-time skill.
“By the way, how did you form the alliance?”
Since I had answered his question, I asked him what I was curious about.
“Aizen was the one who suggested it first. He said he would treat us with the same conditions as the Allied Guilds if we would support them. I had nothing to lose, so I accepted immediately.”
‘Aizen suggested it first?’
It seemed like he didn’t have the energy to help after fighting the Highest-ranking Demon. Otherwise, he would have come to help himself, and wouldn’t have joined forces with Heuksin like this.
“More importantly, aren’t you going to check the rare treasures?”
“……Why?”
“I heard that the rare treasures are divided through an auction. Don’t I have the right to participate in that auction?”
As he said, it wasn’t like he had helped without permission, and since Aizen had proposed the alliance first, I had nothing to say. Besides, I was curious about what kind of rare treasures they were, so I decided to check them out.
“Item Storage.”
I opened my item window and searched for the 7 rare treasures I had obtained as a reward for the subjugation request.
My item window was more complicated than I thought, so I couldn’t find them right away, but I didn’t need to take them all out and check them.
‘This must be it.’
I first took out a golden cup with a beautiful pattern engraved on it.
It seemed to be the Dawn’s Chalice, a rare treasure of the Church of Light. I handed the Dawn’s Chalice to Heuksin and checked it myself.
[Dawn’s Chalice] (Unique)
Description: One of the treasures of the Church of Light. It is also called a sacred object. This Dawn’s Chalice, once even crafted by the god of the Church of Light, contains a considerable amount of divine power and even has the effect of increasing faith. However, because it contains the divine power of the god of light, those without faith cannot receive any benefit from this Dawn’s Chalice. Conversely, those with faith can receive its effects just by holding it.
*Increases the effect of Faith-type skills by 20%.
*Reduces the consumption of Faith-type magic power by 20%.
*Applies +2 to Faith-type skill levels.
‘Huh?’
Reading the description of the Dawn’s Chalice, it seemed like a talisman-type item.
Like my Lucky Gem Dice, an item that gives you an effect just by having it in your item window.
As befitting a Unique item, its performance was also decent. It seemed like a good item for someone from the Emperor Guild to use.
“Feather of Life.”
Yes, Eris, who is currently using it……
“……?”
Eris?
Realizing that Eris was also among the participating guild members, I turned my head to look at her.
In front of Eris, who was using some kind of skill, countless pure white feathers were falling, and the dead Emperor Guild members were being revived.
“Oh, it’s a Unique item! And it’s a talisman type!”
Heuksin, who had examined the Dawn’s Chalice, exclaimed in surprise and admiration, regardless of Eris, who was reviving the Emperor Guild members one by one.
Is this his first time seeing a Unique item?
Anyway, leaving aside the noisy Heuksin, I looked at Eris for a moment and thought.
‘It would be nice if Eris could buy this……’
Since it was being auctioned, there was a possibility if Eris had a lot of money.
However, since it was an auction conducted on a guild level, and it was an item that any healer would covet, the chances of Eris getting it were quite low.
Moreover, the fact that it was a Unique grade item also bothered me.
This was because there was no mention of Unique items appearing on the homepage yet.
I had obtained several Unique items through the Luxury Shop Box and solo raid boss hunting, but others would consider this the first Unique item, so they would be sure to jump at it with burning eyes.
“Look at the other items too. Quickly.”
‘Why is this guy in such a hurry?’
Heuksin, who was curious about the other items, urged me impatiently.
Moreover, it seemed like he had finished checking the contribution points earned from defeating the Demon King, as I could see players gradually gathering here.
Since I had dealt the final blow to the Demon King, they seemed to have noticed and were gathering around.
Anyway, before it got too noisy with the players, I looked at the remaining rare treasures.
However, the rare treasures from other countries were also all talisman types.
‘Do they only give talisman types?’
Still, even though they were talisman items, they were all Unique grade, so their performance couldn’t be ignored.
Frankly, if I could apply all these talisman effects, I could become much stronger than I am now.
“Rudin-nim.”
“Ah, good work.”
At that moment, Aizen, who had been resting after defeating the Highest-ranking Demon, approached me.
“Yes, you too, Rudin-nim.”
“But are you alright? Your contribution ranking seems quite low.”
Unless he had been desperately attacking the Demon King, I didn’t think Aizen’s contribution points would be high, considering he had spent a lot of time dealing with the Highest-ranking Demon.
However, Aizen’s answer that followed was unexpected.
“My contribution is fine. I’m in 2nd place.”
“……?”
Why was he in 2nd place?
Confused by the ranking I couldn’t understand, I looked at Aizen and pondered various possibilities.
Could it be that the damage from Extinction Sword was higher than I expected?
Or maybe the players who had already dealt a lot of damage had died and been excluded from the contribution ranking.
“By the way, are those the rare treasures?”
“Well, yes.”
I held out the items for him to check.
As I intended, Aizen placed his hand on the items and checked them, then nodded.
“They’re decent items.”
Ah, instead of this, should I just give the rare treasures to Aizen?
There was no point in me holding onto them anyway. Rather, if I kept them, there was a high chance that I would be forced to participate in the auction.
I couldn’t be tied down by a mere auction, so I decided to hand over the rare treasures to Aizen and sent him a trade request.
“Trade request.”
“What trade request?”
“The rare treasures. You handle them.”
“Hmm, yes. Alright.”
After a brief moment of contemplation, Aizen nodded.
Hundreds of players were watching anyway, so there was no way Aizen would just run off with them.
Besides, Aizen was the one who had gathered the Allied Guilds, so it was only right that he took charge. I handed over the 7 rare treasures through the trade, and then I saw a new message pop up.
[The subjugation request has been completed a certain number of times.]
[Due to the incidents that have occurred across the continent, the kings of all nations are becoming wary.]
[The first main scenario, ‘The Forgotten Seal’, begins.]
[Each guild belonging to each nation will select one person with the highest Fame score, and a total of 10 people will be summoned by the king.]
‘What’s this?’
