‘Am I getting a legendary item here?’
Suddenly transported to a dark cave, my helmet, with its effect of negating the darkness, allowed me to see without any problems.
Thus, I was able to look around, soon realizing there was nothing special, and turned my head towards Illia. She, seemingly intending to solve the darkness issue first, took something out of her Item Storage.
Click━
‘A lantern?’
It seemed what she took out of her Item Storage was a lantern, as a switch turned on and bright light emerged.
And Illia placed the lantern in one corner, then took out another lantern and placed it in another spot, starting to brighten the entire space.
“……”
Well, I thought Illia had a reason for doing this, so I decided to watch silently. Soon, after placing six lanterns here and there, Illia approached me as if she was done.
“Now that the preparations are done, please give me the recipe and ingredients.”
It seemed she was planning to summon it herself.
Thinking about it now, wasn’t Illia’s goal this place from the beginning?
That’s why she looked for a dungeon where demons appear, and also tried to obtain the target paper, but coincidentally, the paper came to me, so she seemed to have chosen to cooperate with me.
Thinking of using the cost of materials and a flying summon.
“Trade start.”
Regardless of my thoughts, I requested a trade and handed over the recipe and all the materials I bought from the Cash Transaction Window.
They were all rare-grade, so I could get a considerable price even if I resold them.
But I didn’t worry about that.
If her goal was money, she would have come alone by any means, not bringing me along.
“Thank you.”
“Is there anything I can help you with?”
So, I was curious what Illia was gaining here.
“Well. The demon will do the fighting, but…… if the demon falls, I’ll ask you then.”
‘In other words, just watch, right?’
Interpreting it that way, I nodded, and Illia, as if she was about to start, placed the recipe on the floor and then placed all the ingredients I gave her on top of it.
“Craft.”
Flash!━
Suddenly, light emerged from the recipe and the ingredients placed on it, and soon a red magic circle was drawn.
I didn’t think it was a specific item, but a magic circle suddenly appeared?
And the magic circle absorbed the light from the surrounding lanterns and grew larger and larger, and then something began to appear along with a red light.
━It’s been a while since I’ve been out.
“……?”
Perhaps what appeared in the magic circle was a demon?
I was secretly looking forward to it because it was a demon, but a strange monster popped out.
First of all, it had a muscular physique over two meters tall, and instead of hair on its head, there were blazing flames.
Also, small flames were occasionally popping up on its body, so its upper body was bare, and its red fists boasted a size larger than my head, giving off an air of intimidation.
━Tell me why you summoned me, whose name is Shamut, ranked 171st in the demon world.
“Shamut-nim. Please deal with our enemy that will appear now.”
While I was blankly staring at the demon, Illia was answering politely beside me.
━You’re asking me to fight.
Fortunately, the demon seemed satisfied with Illia’s attitude and nodded, speaking without even thinking.
━Good. There is no demon who refuses a fight, especially not one.
‘Oh, is it going this smoothly?’
━Besides, the sacrifices made to summon me are considerable…… So this time, I’ll fight without receiving any additional compensation.
“Thank you. Shamut-nim.”
━Hurry and summon that enemy.
While saying that, it’s not my opponent though. Said the demon.
But is this demon that strong?
It’s not even within the top 100, it’s ranked 171st.
At first, it proudly announced its rank, so it seemed like 171st was a high rank, but somehow it seemed low to me.
“Then I’ll summon it.”
Anyway, after saying that, Illia took out a glass figurine from her Item Storage and dropped it on the floor.
Clang━
I knew it was a figurine, but I couldn’t see it properly because she dropped it as soon as she took it out, so I had no choice but to look away and wait for the enemy to appear.
[The power of the Goddess of Light Statue reveals the hidden space.]
At that moment, a message appeared as if it was waiting, and the space here turned black and quickly began to spread widely.
The narrow cave was transformed into an infinitely wide space.
Moreover, there was a giant monster in front of the expanded space.
[Sealed Dragon Banoren (Raid Boss)]
‘Raid Boss?’
The first thing I noticed was the name.
Then I saw a snake-like dragon tied up with thick chains thicker than most people. The dragon, as soon as it spotted us, opened its large mouth and roared.
━Kyaaaaaaaaa!
“Ugh.”
I frowned slightly at the deafening roar and noticed the demon walking forward.
━Haha! I thought I’d be fighting something insignificant, but it’s a dragon!
Whether it knew that the chained creature was a raid boss or not, the demon, unable to contain its joy, set its head ablaze and immediately rushed out as if it couldn’t wait any longer.
━I’ll kill you!
Anyway, I was watching the demon rush out without a word when Illia approached me with an expression that said her work was done and spoke in a nonchalant tone.
“Things worked out better than expected.”
“Is it okay? It’s a dragon and a raid boss?”
“We’ll have to see. It’ll probably be fine.”
As Illia said it would be fine, I watched for a while and saw the demon relentlessly beating the bound dragon.
━Kyaaaaaaaaa!
━Struggle a little more!
“……”
Is the dragon just weak?
The dragon was also counterattacking.
It tried to crush with its giant body, or use its sharp teeth, or even swallow it whole, but every time it did, it was met with the demon’s fierce punches.
“As expected of a demon. I didn’t know it would fight so well.”
“Isn’t the dragon just weak?”
Contrary to Illia’s admiration, I just thought the dragon was weak as I watched it getting beaten up.
“Actually, it is weak. See? It’s called the Sealed Dragon. Those chains are sealing most of the dragon’s power.”
“That means there was no need to summon a demon.”
What? Then why did I spend 20 million won?
“That’s not true. Those chains break one by one as they receive external shocks.”
“Huh?”
“So…… that means the dragon’s original power gradually returns as it takes damage.”
At Illia’s words, I turned my head to look at the dragon again and saw one of the dozens of chains that were tied break.
At the same time, the dragon also underwent a change, starting to use magic.
━Kyaaaaaaaaa!
A huge thunderbolt fell from above along with a roar.
The demon couldn’t avoid the lightning and took it head-on while continuing its attack, but unlike before, the dragon gradually counterattacked with magic.
━Khahaha! You can’t even touch me!
Of course, the demon didn’t care.
“Isn’t that dangerous?”
“Well, to be honest, it’s a close call. If a demon ranked within the top 150 had appeared, it would have been caught without a problem.”
On the other hand, Illia said that the demon fighting hard in front of us was ranked 171st, so it was a close call.
“It’s okay. Even if it can’t catch it, it will have almost no HP left, so you can finish it off then, Rudin-nim.”
She says it so easily as if she’s not the one fighting.
But if I summoned Ust, I could probably shave off some of the dragon’s HP, so I thought I might be able to finish it off as Illia said.
━Take this too!
Kwa Kwa Kwaang!!━
Anyway, since I could only step in when the demon fell, I sat down and leisurely watched the fight between the dragon and the demon.
* * *
Kwaaang!!━
━Cough, cough! No, no regrets…… It was a good fight.
“……”
The demon, as if it was very satisfied, slowly began to disappear.
The battle between the dragon and the demon.
The victor in that battle was the dragon, now free from all its chains.
In addition, the demon might have had no regrets about the fight, but I regretted spending my money to summon that thing.
‘Indeed, if it was a demon ranked within the top 150, it might have caught it.’
Although the demon failed to catch the dragon and left, the dragon was also in tatters.
First of all, the fact that all the chains were broken meant that it had lost a lot of HP, and it felt like it was barely holding on just by looking at it.
“It’s a shame it couldn’t catch it. Can I ask you now?”
“Sure.”
Anyway, catching a weak dragon was no big deal.
I just had to summon Ust and attack.
━Kyaaaaa……
“But don’t dragons usually talk?”
Indeed, Ukron, whom I met before, spoke perfectly fine.
“In the Twilight setting, a dragon is a dragon that has lost its reason. Since it has lost its reason, it naturally can’t speak.”
“It used magic well for something like that.”
“It’s a dragon. It should use magic as easily as breathing.”
I didn’t know the criteria, but I nodded anyway.
In addition, the dragon, after a second round with Ust who appeared after the demon, unfortunately collapsed after 5 minutes.
Even though its HP seemed to be barely hanging on, it managed to hold on for 5 minutes, so I thought it might be impossible to catch it in a normal state, but since I had already caught it, I decided to just let it go.
[The raid boss monster, Sealed Dragon Banoren, has been defeated.]
[Rewards will vary based on contribution. However, deceased players are excluded from the current contribution.]
‘Oh.’
Since it was a raid boss, the contribution points appeared.
[Rudin-nim’s contribution is as follows.]
[Damage 781,402. Healing 0. Support 0. Total 781,402. Result…… 2nd place.]
[You have gained 2,720,000 experience points!]
[You have leveled up.]
‘As expected, 2nd place.’
I knew the reason why I was in 2nd place.
It was Illia who summoned the demon.
Therefore, Illia would have been in 1st place in contribution, but I had no intention of arguing about it.
Honestly, Illia didn’t do little either, so I could easily concede 1st place in contribution.
Besides……
‘I just need to get the legendary item.’
Since I came all the way here with the promise of getting a legendary item, I didn’t want to fight over other items, so I decided to just take the legendary item.
“What about the legendary item?”
“It’s probably dropped over there.”
The place Illia pointed to was where the dragon died.
When I actually checked, there was a ring dropped there, and when I picked it up, a message appeared.
[Congratulations! You are the first in Twilight to obtain a Legend grade equipment.]
[You have acquired the title ‘ Owner of Legend ‘. Would you like to equip it?]
The Guardian’s Holy Sword I obtained before was an exception, probably because it was a main scenario restricted weapon, and since this was the real one I obtained, a related message appeared.
‘That’s right. Legendary.’
However, there was one thing I didn’t understand.
It was the title, and it seemed like this title was given to the first person who obtained a legendary item.
Doesn’t Illia want this title?
Anyway, I put that question aside and checked the legendary item I obtained with a trembling heart.
[Eternal Life Ar’ua] (Legend)
Description: A ring said to grant eternal life to the wearer. It is said that once this ring is worn, one will never die of old age, and it was the cause of the Continental War. However, the human who obtained it realized that the power contained within the ring was semi-permanent and used it as a medium to seal the dragon. And even after such a long time, Ar’ua, true to its name, has not lost its power at all.
