Returning again to the gathering point in the underground space.

Around a fully concentrated Han-bit, everyone was tilting their heads.

The image of him rewriting the scroll unrolled on the table naturally gathered gazes.

“Can you do that too, Unni?”

“I can’t do it like that. Where did he learn that?”

Although Atsbel could make simple magic scrolls, the sight before her eyes was astonishing.

Should she say it was such a complicated structure that even understanding it was difficult.

– Can you mess with scrolls to that extent?

– I only learned how to connect lines;

– Isn’t he just acting artistic?

– Artist Dragon.

– Newbies are all dying.

– Can’t they just seek Goric out?

[User Exposition-addict donated 5,000 won.]

[Info) It’s said the Hedrick Kingdom collapsed a few years ago.]

– Yes?

– Then Goric is dead too?

– We’re f*cked;

– Newbies better pick their starting cities well.

Due to the information popped up via donation, the chat window became loud.

Goric who would know this scroll best.

However, as the viewer said, his Kingdom was destroyed.

If you don’t personally fix the scroll, it’d probably be hard to find a different method.

‘I should give them a hint later.’

Unlike the viewers’ worries, the scroll is simply one of the choices.

Even if you don’t necessarily use it, there is absolutely no problem clearing the story.

Since an important helper, Asla, also has a clear timing for his appearance.

Of course, persuading him would be a matter left to personal capability.

Sss-

Han-bit, holding the quill pen, carefully rewrote the lines.

If he makes even a single mistake, things will completely tangle up.

Because a blank scroll made of the identical material as this cannot be obtained right away.

Scratch-

Rustle-

Amidst everyone’s gazes, the continued scroll modification entered its final stages.

Carefully drawing the final line, Han-bit slowly took off the quill pen.

“Phew.”

The concentration he pulled up completely scattered along with his exhaled breath.

Ria, watching that sight, sneakily asked.

“Are you done? How did you fix it?”

“Simply put, I changed it so it wouldn’t self-destruct even if we activate the ring.”

“Is that possible?”

“It’s possible. Because I’ll be busy later on, let’s use it now. Pass it to me for a moment.”

“…”

Ria pondered while wriggling the hand wearing the ring.

Because the dangerous contents written on Camon’s note were still stuck in her mind.

“It will be fine. Even if a problem occurs, the Spirit shall protect you.”

Asla who was watching sneakily added a word.

Whoosh-

The wind breezing past along with him.

The gap between a Low-ranking Spirit, a Sylph, and the Spirit Spirit King Salion is massive, but it’s ultimately nothing more than a trace.

Since Asla will counter-respond as well, there was zero chance they’d fall into danger here.

“…Got it.”

At the continued persuasion, Ria slowly nodded her head.

Then taking the ring off her finger, she handed it to Han-bit.

“Shouldn’t I be the one using the scroll too? The ownership won’t pass.”

“It’s fine.”

Han-bit received the ring without hesitation and placed it on his palm.

Holding the scroll in his other hand, he stood up from the seat and stepped away from everyone.

“The contents I wrote on the modified scroll are about stability and the direction of the power. Instead of exploding together with the user, it aims to be fired in the aimed direction.”

“Fired?”

“Don’t tell me, does this mean we can use it as a weapon?”

Cowen immediately thought of how it should be used.

The reason he bothered using the scroll even though they could use the existing route.

It was because he wanted to deal with Vares personally.

“It means if we go through phases it’ll become like that. I’ll use it for now.”

Grabbing the scroll, he immediately brought it into contact with the ring.

And the moment the paper vanished while glowing.

A change different from his expectation occurred.

Fwoosh-!

Suddenly, the flames spewing from the ring enveloped Han-bit’s surroundings.

The first person to react was Asla.

“This is…”

Approaching while wrapping himself in wind, he stopped his feet.

Because the flames pushed everything away, as if declaring they would not permit approach.

– ???

– Emergency.

– Emeeeergencyyyy!

– Black Dragon -END-

– A death by fire ending;

“Black Dragon!”

While the voices of the others overlapped.

Han-bit focused on the flames enveloping him.

‘…It’s not hot.’

Although he was flustered for a moment, there was no damage at all.

It was simply that this situation felt strange.

It was completely different from the heatwave that rose when Asla touched the ring.

‘I didn’t make a mistake on the scroll though.’

The traces of the Spirit Spirit King Salion that should have activated inside the ring.

It materializing outward was outside the bounds of his expectations.

A plausible possibility that came to mind was a failure in the scroll modification, but he didn’t draw even a single small line wrong.

He could be certain of this much.

“Don’t worry. Inside is fine.”

Han-bit spoke first for the sake of those who must have been more flustered than him.

Looking at his surroundings for a moment, he sneakily reached out his empty hand toward the flames.

Sss-

The fire that looked like it would burn everything wasn’t hot even when it touched his skin.

‘Do I have to wait a bit?’

Since it’s a Spirit’s power, there was a possibility it would calm down over time.

The problem was probably that since it’s Salion’s trace, he didn’t know until when it would burn.

Ding-

At that time, a message popped up along with the alarm sound.

[The Spirit of Wind, Sylph, urges you to draw your sword.]

‘Sword?’

Sylph’s words abruptly expressing an opinion.

The reason for it came to his mind in an instant.

“Ah…!”

An exclamation naturally spat out along with his realization.

Immediately drawing the blue-white sword, Han-bit simply thrust it towards the flames.

Fwoosh-!

The flames gathered towards the intruding sword at once.

That fluctuating flow amplified at a tremendous speed in an instant.

Whoosh-!

The flames spiraled and wrapped around the sword.

Then it gradually moved to the hilt, and soon scaled his hand and spread over to Han-bit.

Flash-!

The blazing flames were sucked in as if gathering into a single point within his body.

Presently, when the flames disappeared, the alarm rang once again.

Ding-

[Hidden Achievement: First Spirit King’s Trace is achieved.]

[Rewards are distributed in accordance with the First Clear Bonus of the achievement.]

[Hidden Spirit Skill Attribute Manifestation (Rank 3 – Epic) is added.]

[The corresponding skill will automatically upgrade as you collect traces of Spirit Kings, and you may choose an attribute fitting the possessed trace.]

– Oh?

– ???

– Crazy. Lololol.

– F*ck, is this real?

– A hidden skill is appearing?

– EpicEpicEpicEpicEpic

– Bullsh*t, seriously;

– Edlen was a hidden field;

[User oo donated 10,000 won.]

[This is RP Season 2, right?]

The viewers went berserk over the newly appeared hidden skill.

“Hidden… again?”

Yeon-woo, who was filming, merely wore a blank expression with a surprised face.

However, Han-bit was similarly flustered as well.

‘What is this?’

Although he had experience utilizing the traces of the Spirit King, he had never learned it as a technique.

Could Attribute Manifestation be possible in this manner.

“Black Dragon!”

When the flames disappeared, Ria, who was stomping her feet, ran over first.

Atsbel and Cowen also quickly followed behind her.

“Are you okay?”

“It’s a relief you don’t seem harmed… but what happened?”

Despite everyone’s questions, Han-bit couldn’t answer.

It was because of the ring in his hand rather than his own condition.

“The power residing within has vanished.”

Asla, who noticed the situation, spoke first.

Hearing that, Ria turned her gaze and asked.

“Vanished? What do you mean?”

“…Sorry. The traces of the Spirit King that were in here were absorbed into my sword.”

“Absorbed?”

She couldn’t immediately understand what had happened.

Looking down at his sword, Han-bit quietly continued his explanation.

“I don’t know if it’s because of the Spirit Stone written in the sword, or if it’s because of my constitution, but it’s my mistake. I should have asked you first.”

“Something like that is possible too? Fascinating.”

Even though it was a situation where the traces of the Spirit King handed down in the Northon family had been snatched away, Ria was calm.

Only curiosity and concern for the thing that just happened could be felt.

“Anyway, it means you’re okay, right? It’s not like your body feels weird or anything?”

“I’m not the problem, are you okay? It’s the power the family had protected for generations.”

“It’s a power I can’t even use in the first place anyway. There must be a reason it transferred to you, Oppa.”

She added words saying it was enough as long as the ring remained.

Cowen, who was watching with a slightly complicated expression, soon nodded his head and accepted it.

“Although the identity passed down in the Northon family is important, we cannot leave the danger unattended either. Because even if Vares dies, the Holy State’s obsession will continue. Young Lady, respectfully forgive my lack of strength.”

“Don’t say such words. If it wasn’t for you, I would’ve died beautifully a long time ago.”

– T. T

– Sorry for being weak.

– Can’t you tear a piece of Sylph and give it to him?

– Ah, is she cotton candy?

– Protect Sylph.

At Cowen’s self-deprecation, Ria adamantly denied it.

Although the viewers are telling him to share a piece of Sylph, it’s an impossible story.

To the end, Spirits simply hung around only for as long as a Spirit Summoner’s heart reached them.

If they drifted apart, they were destined to just return to the wind.

“Anyway, I’m saying you shouldn’t worry about it. I’m rather more worried you might get pursued, Oppa.”

“That’s fine. Because they won’t realize it easily.”

The traces of the Spirit King absorbed into the sword will be hidden by Sylph.

Unless it was time to use the skill, it’d probably be hard to even sense it.

“It is a dangerous power. Will you be able to handle it properly?”

Asla, silently listening to the conversation, took a step closer.

Even if it’s a trace, the power of a Spirit King is different from its foundation.

It wouldn’t be strange even if it swallowed up a single person.

“I will give it a try.”

Attribute Manifestation.

The only thing that can accept this right now is that.

Sss-

Stepping away from the people, Han-bit grabbed his sword and took a stance.

And recalling Salion’s power, he used the skill.

Fwoosh-!

Flames that bloomed and covered the sword blade in an instant.

Although it contrasted with the blue-white sword, it created an even more gorgeous harmony.

– Wow.

– Crazy. Lololo

– F*ck give me some too;

– Is the sword OP?

– Black Dragon is just OP.

– RP better explain this.

[User MagicSwordsman donated 50,000 won.]

[Professor, 40 pages of A4 is fine this time. Please upload the walkthrough. I can get it if I clear the story, right?]

– Do you really think so?

– Please wait for the next skill~

– But it actually works? 100 pages is possible too.

“Hmm.”

Asla carefully observed the power.

A moment later, he nodded his head.

“Stop. That is sufficient.”

“Yes.”

Sss-

Along with the answer, the flames that instantly hid their figure.

Although he only used it for a moment, he felt a recoil from his body.

‘Don’t tell me this is…’

A feeling where his body became dull as strength drained, and his stamina and mental power were scraped away.

In other words, he was being affected by all four stat effects.

Consequently, it meant the choice to distribute stats evenly was the correct judgment.

If each value increases, he would be able to withstand the recoil that much more, wouldn’t he.

“With this much, the Spirit of Wind should be able to hold the center for you. Use it along with the swordsmanship you learned from me if you need it.”

“Understood.”

Chirp-!

The wind that had been continuously wrapping around his body returned to the shape of a bird at some point.

If it’s alongside Sylph’s power, the new skill becomes another tremendous weapon.

It’s to the point where he won’t even need to borrow the helpers’ strength for the conclusion of this episode right away.

Han-bit, who lightly stroked Sylph’s head, stood up from the chair.

Then he brought up the quest window.

[Main Quest #13: Preparation]

Using the evidence obtained from Brooke, you decided to draw out an official trial.

It seems it will take time until Vares’s decision falls.

In the meantime, couldn’t we do something with Northon’s Ring and the scroll?

Taking time to consider various possibilities seems like a good idea as well.

Objective: Contemplate methods to use the ring and wait for the results.

Reward: None

*Current Progress Rate: 85 Percent

*You may clear this quest by pressing the ‘Complete’ button. It will immediately connect to a cutscene, and Main Quest #14 will proceed afterward.

Along with an unexpected power, the necessary preparations concluded.

Because there was no reason to delay further, he immediately pressed the complete button.

Ding-

[Main Quest #13 has been completed.]

[Progress Rate increases.]

The surroundings paused along with the popped-up message.

It was right after when the sight before his eyes changed.

[Moving to the cutscene.]
