Chapter 170 [Episode 87] Dragon Heart 2
Dragon Heart [Myth+++]
– The core with the power of Color Dragons. With this, you can gain Great Power.
[Basic Ability] With it, all abilities permanently increased by 50 points. This increase effect is applied separately from existing buffs.
[Special Ability] All attributes permanently increased by 15% and all attribute defenses also increased by 20%.
[Intrinsic Ability] When taken, four random dragon words are selected and imprinted on the soul.
[Restriction on Dosage] Dragon Heart could be taken only once.
Dragon Heart has a tremendous effect that no other elixir could ever match. It has a great effect in increasing all attributes by 50 points, but the really amazing effects are the attribute and the attribute defense increased permanently by a fixed percentage and the gaining of the four random dragon words.
Dragon words are the most powerful magic a dragon possesses.
Of course, the results will be different in a thousand different ways depending on what dragon words that you get, but all dragon words are at least rank 6 magic no matter which words, so even if the results of the drawing were bad, you still get benefits.
Sang Hyuk checked the dragon heart’s ability for a while and just put it directly to his mouth.
The dragon heart in his mouth became like a smoke and permeated into Sang Hyuk’s body.
Sssssshhh, flash!
At the moment the red light burst out of Sang Hyuk’s body, Sang Hyuk absorbed all of the power of the dragon heart into himself.
All stats rose and all attributes and attribute defense went up.
And then…. the four dragon words were decided.
Dragon Word ‘ Draconic Aura’ [Rank 8 magic]
: Surrounds the body with a powerful aura shield to reduce all damage by 80% for 3 seconds. Even after the Draconic Aura has disappeared, the aura’s effect permeates the skin reducing all damage by 30% for 7 seconds.
Proficiency: None
Cooldown time: 3 minutes
Dragon Word ‘Hand of Conflagration’ [Rank 7 magic]
: Let the flames of Hell rise from the feet of your opponent. The opponent immediately takes damage (160% of your Attack Rating) and after that for 10 seconds take Damage Over Time (D.O.T) once every 2 seconds (50% of your Attack Rating).
Proficiency: None
Cooldown Time: 2 minutes.
Dragon Word ‘Soul Observation’ [Rank 6 magic]
: Able to see through the soul of your opponent. You can see the health and vitality of the target at a glance. This magic is irresistible, so no matter how high-leveled the target is, ‘seeing’ the soul is still possible. However, it would be quite troublesome if it was used recklessly because the opponent who is higher than yourself will immediately notice that you have read their souls.
Proficiency: None.
Cooldown: 30 seconds.
Dragon Word ‘Invisibility; [Rank 7 magic]
: Instantly distort light and darkness at the same time and force the caster into ‘invisibility’. The caster is ‘transparent’ for 4 seconds not only to your enemies but also your allies. This effect is judged to be a ‘powerful’ concealment technique.
Proficiency: None.
Cooldown time: 2 minutes.
Unfortunately, they were not the best.
If only one of the famous ‘Peak’ Dragon Word magic, which is Rank 9 magic, such as ‘Hellfire’ or ‘Absolute Shield’ appears then it would have been a huge jackpot, but those things were not gotten so easily.
None of the Rank 9 magic came out.
This time, he felt that the effect of Great Luck didn’t appear.
However, even if he felt like that these Words were not failures. He felt like he was in the middle.
Especially, ‘Draconic Aura’ was a very good survival skill. The reuse cooldown was not very long and the damage reduction rate was very high.
Moreover, it was very good because it’s not only that the base effect ended in 3 seconds, but although weaker, it maintains damage reduction for another 7 seconds.
The Hand of Conflagration wasn’t bad for single-target attacking skill, but in fact, Sang Hyuk didn’t feel like it was good because he had a lot of better attack skills.
Rather, although it was only Rank 6 magic, he felt that Soul Observation was better than Hand of Conflagration. What’s a little disappointing is that one of his General Skills, which had already been strengthened to +9, has the ability to guess the health of the enemy.
But, Soul Observation was overpoweringly better so he was only a little disappointed.
The last Dragon Word, Enhanced Invisibility, wasn’t considered an incredible Dragon Word normally, but it was a very good Dragon Word to Sang Hyuk.
This magic could be linked to the many skills that Sang Hyuk had. And it seems that he can be the real Grim Reaper if he used it well.
“If I want to score it…. Then it is about 70 points out of a 100.”
Even though he didn’t hit the jackpot, Sang Hyuk was satisfied with this much. In fact, Enhanced Invisibility and Draconic Aura could be very helpful for Sang Hyuk.
After gulping down the dragon heart, now it seemed that he won’t feel inferior even at the Continent of the Sun.
Even though the level of the Sun People was much higher, someone’s level could never be the standard of their ‘Strength’.
“Now since all preparations are done…. should we go to the Continent of the Sun?”
Gye Baek and Dark Knight had already gone back to the Continent of the Sun a week ago and were struggling hard at the bottom of the food chain. He wanted to help them, but in reality, there was nothing that he could really do.
Anyway, Gye Baek and the Dark Knight had to adapt in the Continent of the Sun on their own.
Of course, Sang Hyuk was going to be active in the Continent of the Sun in an uncommon way, but it was only possible for Sang Hyuk. Even when Gye Baek and Dark Knight have recently become very strong with Sang Hyuk’s help…. but in the end, they became the top class within the limitations of being a ‘player’.
The reality was that currently he couldn’t even hand out a business card in the Continent of the Sun. (EN: He didn’t even have the qualifications to be called a “player” on the Continent of the Sun)
After he met Ilya and once again went back to Hagye with her to do all the business he had to finish, Sang Hyuk spent about two hours having a passionate and lovely time.
These days, Sang Hyuk was having an intimate time with Ilya everyday.
170 Part 2
By this time, Sang Hyuk felt that Ilya was his lover in EL, not a NPC. Especially since her AI was so great, she acts like a real human being and he fell deeply for her.
After an intimate time with Ilya, Sang Hyuk finally kissed her very intensely and left Hagye to her and went to the Continent of the Sun.
He had to maintain his businesses in Hagye until he could settle his place on the Continent of the Sun, so Ilya had to work hard again.
The bad thing was that when he called Ilya by ‘summoning’ her, then the things related to the ‘mutual interaction’ were limited, so he couldn’t spend an intimate time with her.
It was a very disappointing part for Sang Hyuk, who was enjoying the intimate time that he spent with Ilya the most, but he could come and go through recall even if it costs a little of money, so it was not a very big problem.
Sang Hyuk came back to the Continent of the Sun and started looking for Goren City.
Goren City was one of the three major cities in the Continent of the Sun and the reason for Sang Hyuk to find this place was that he had been based here in his previous life.
Sang Hyuk knew Goren City so well that he could even walk around it with his eyes closed.
And he understood the Sun people who lived there and also how the power structure was shaped.
In fact, this priceless information could not be obtained, no matter how much money you spent. Sun People basically didn’t associate with the dimensional traveller so it was impossible for the users to obtain this information until you became strong past a certain level.
If only he could go to Goren City, Sang Hyuk was so confident he would feel at home, like a fish in the water.
But…. if there was a problem, it was that Goren City was not easily found.
Sang Hyuk’s current automap was obviously incomplete, nor did he have access to other automaps of the Continent of the Sun. Sang Hyuk was forced to wander around in search of landmarks he knew.
Of course, this was also possible because it was Sang Hyuk.
Gye Baek and Dark Knight were working hard in the small town they first discovered, and they dared not even think about wandering around the Continent of the Sun.
Growl…
It was a herd of wolves. Twenty wolves that looked normal growled in front of Sang Hyuk.
If it had been Hagye, it would have been possible to finish them off with only a single finger but that was impossible in the Continent of the Sun.
‘Awakened_Grey_Wolves’
One word ‘awakened’ in front of the name made those wolves not wolves.
All monsters in the Continent of the Sun had a powerful dark force.
When you entered into the complex backstory, the heroes who devoured the Ascension Orb and ascended to the country of the Tutelary Deity of the Sky, called themselves the Sun People and tried to reign as demigods.
But, they couldn’t be the deities in the first place. Rather, the Tutelary Deity was already contaminated because of the powerful Magye (Devil World) that arose at the same time as the emergence of the Sun People.
As a result the Tutelary Deity lost its divinity. Sun People had also lost their divinity, but they still called this land, which was very special for them, as the Continent of the Sun, and they swore to drive out all of the darkness that has spread through this land and make the Continent of the Sun back into the country of the Tutelary Deity.
There were four Powers that were created for this holy crusade.
The first was the ‘Knights of the Sun’.
The second was the ‘Saints of the Sun’.
The third was the ‘The Solar Pagoda of Magic’.
The fourth was the ‘ Heroes of the Sun’.
They were a little different in their pursuit, but ultimately, all of them wanted to restore the lost divinity of the Continent of the Sun and to qualify themselves again as demigods.
But, Sang Hyuk knew it was impossible. The Sun People could never get the results they wanted because the dark forces had already severely contaminated the Continent of the Sun so it cannot be revived.
Sang Hyuk sighed as he gazed at the wolves in front of him.
“Sigh….”
It was a sigh of resignation that he had to take out the ‘Blood Wire of the Full Moon’ while dealing with a mob.
Chwarrrrrrk.
Of course, no matter if it was the wolves with the ‘awakened’ attribute, they couldn’t be Sang Hyuk’s opponents. The other players might have felt that each one of them was as strong as a high-level elite monster, but for Sang Hyuk they were just a little more troublesome wolves.
“I have a long way to go, so let’s finish it quickly.”
Sang Hyuk rushed toward the wolf herd frighteningly infusing Divine Thunderbolt to the Blood Wire.
* * * *
After about a week of wandering, Sang Hyuk eventually found the landmark that existed in his memory.
It was a lake. It was an unusual lake with endless ice sheets, also known as the Ice Lake.
“[email protected], It’s great to have found it.., but why of all things, does it have to be THIS place where it is connected to the Middle Layer?”
When you caught the Red Bearded Whale and opened the dimension portal, the portal was randomly connected to the Continent of the Sun. So, no one knew where the arrival point would be.
That’s the problem.
‘To visit the Goren City from here, not only do I have to cross the Ice Lake, but also I have to pass through the Dark Jungle afterwards…. It won’t be normal then.’
Both the Iced Lake and the Dark Jungle were also quite notorious areas in the Continent of the Sun.
Especially, the Dark Jungle was an area where even the powerful Sun People didn’t recklessly enter.
“Should I detour? But if I detour, can I predict how much longer it will take…..”
The Dark Jungle was quite wide.
So taking a detour really means adding massively to his travel time.
It could have been a week or so if he passed through it, but if he took a detour, he could struggle for almost a month.
Should he take the safe path but stretch the schedule an unknown amount or choose a dangerous journey, reducing the travel time as much as possible instead….. Sang Hyuk stood at the crossroad of choices and thought for a moment.
But his thoughts did not last long.
He would make the same choice in these situations.
‘When did I think about safety first? Especially this is not Middle Layer, right?’
Sang Hyuk thought he would become a ‘Wuss’, from the moment he worried about death. Therefore, his choice was, of course, to pass through the Dark Jungle.
