A few days later, William began to descend. Although the depth wasn't huge, he was extremely careful. He didn't want to accidentally fall into the middle of the volcano. He did not trust the volcanoes of this world, although he trusted that his body could withstand it. Because since he learned that there are hundreds of types of fire, he did not think that every volcano would be equally hot.Especially volcanoes like this one, which is very rich in spiritual energy and fire element, scared him a little.Saying just in case, he carried his bow and an arrow with a rope on his back as he descended. If he fell, he planned to escape thanks to it. Luckily, there were no fears and he descended safely, jumping off the ledges. After this half-hour descent, the scenery was a little different from what he had anticipated.From the top of the volcano, the area he was in was clearly visible, while he was met with a cloud of mist below as if it were an illusion. This cloud of mist came out of small
William took the first step into the last ten meters of barrier-like distance and closed his eyes. As he took a step, a gravitational force that started from his toes landed on him. However, when he stepped into the gold rank, he felt that this gravitational force was not strong enough. So he relaxed and put his whole body into it.Without a rank one mage, the gravitational force inside was definitely not something that could be resisted. Moreover, that mage would also need a protective spell to protect him from the gravitational force. Otherwise, in William's opinion, this force would be impossible to resist.After a few seconds of getting used to it, William walked towards the altar. Although he felt no danger in the area, he was extremely cautious. He came to the foot of the altar, looking around all the time.When he reached the bottom, the first thing that caught his eye was what was written in the book.[Sierra] William, who did not understand the title of the book, slowly touch
Several days passed at the foot of the altar, in the clearing inside the volcano. During these days, William spent all of his remaining mana on this task. Fortunately, his remaining mana was enough to fuse this flame with his diagram.He broke his concentration, opened his eyes and stood up. He felt his butt go numb, and after a little rubbing, he wanted to use the flame, but there was no point. Unable to cast any spells, after cursing Azrauth and Axar, he pulled out some meat and quickly cooked it in the lava. After eating quickly, he thought he had too much time and decided to spend the remaining days training. He was no longer interested in the little competition in the hidden world because thanks to Axar he had hundreds of creature ears to make him the winner.He took an ordinary magic sword from his ring and began to work. Now, as a Gold Rank person, he had to balance his strength, get used to it, and learn his limits.He knew that the gold rank might be his limit because he got
"Why?""A good look at me will answer that question," Acheron spoke calmly with a smile on his face.William took Acheron's words to heart and began to examine him in detail. Everything that had just happened had happened so quickly that he hadn't paid much attention, but now he saw something different as well.The eyes of Acheron were just as sharp as his own. It looked like a sword, ready to be drawn at any moment. As if he could cut you if you took a step closer.When William realized this, his eyes widened. He had seen Acheron before, but he had never thought of it this way. Now that he also had Sword Intent, he could easily see this and found the answer to his own question.William calmed down and hid the surprise on his face. Acheron also had sword intent, but that didn't mean he was any better. Besides, he had no plans to change teachers at this time. Alyna was very kind to him and very free. He knew that if he became Acheron's disciple, he could go on permanent missions and wo
William also saw Zion returning from his mission on his way to Alyna's room. The two chatted quickly and congratulated each other. Zion had successfully completed his mission to take down a gang, but there was still no word from Erika. In Zion's estimation, if Erika was not heard from for another month, Alyna would open a mission for her and send Zion on that mission.William continued on his way and saw that the door to Alyna's room was open. Alyna was reading a book inside, and when she saw William coming, she closed the book."Welcome William, have you come to clear the purgatory energy in your body?" Alyna asked tenderly.William bowed and then spoke with a smile. "No, Master. I don't want to clear the purgatory energy. I want to let it stay in my body a little longer and study it. It will get better on its own, albeit slowly. I don't think it's a problem for me.""Okay, as you wish. But you should be careful. The energy of Purgatory, though it is powerful, is also dangerous. I as
William's mission was to create a potion. To complete this mission, William had to complete the potion by successfully combining the potion formula with the ingredients he was given.The formula for this potion was taken from the ruins and had never been tried by anyone. This was because the potion didn't have much of an effect, only paralyzing the person or creature who used on it for a few minutes.The person who gave this mission was a third-rank apprentice named Cabal. He had heard of Cabal. He had fought with apprentices from other towers several times before and had won. He was also rumoured to be strong. He was a disciple of a mage William didn't know, and he was skilled in dark magic. He didn't know why he wanted this potion, but he didn't care. What he cared about was that the potion was new to him and challenged him.He quickly contacted the obelisk, and the Cabal said he was in the refectory.After William took the mission, he went to the refectory to meet the Cabal. He fou
William finished making the potion with all the ingredients. He made no mistakes and extracted five potions from each set, which was an excellent success rate, but would have left a lot of profit in his pocket. Of course, this mission had a reward, and that reward was one hundred soul stones.Besides the reward, he only had to give the mission giver one bottle of the potion he had made. In this room, he had fourteen bottles of potion left. Moreover, since he had bought the formula, he could say it was very profitable. Of course, not every potion experiment would be as successful as this one. Most potion formulas had missing ingredients, and it certainly wouldn't be that easy.On the twentieth day, William finished preparing all the potions and pocketed fourteen paralyzing potions. An hour later, he met with the Cabal and gave them the potion and the scroll containing the formula. After the Cabal smiled happily and confirmed that the transaction was complete, he left.There was enough
William had a smile on his face as he walked out the door. Normally, such helpless people looked like two-dimensional characters in his eyes. He thought that he would probably never see the two people he helped again in his lifetime. He felt that as one of the ordinary side quests, just like in the games, it would stay in a corner of his brain as a daily, mundane event.But his thoughts changed the next day when he went to do another potion mission. Mura and his wife Elle, who had learned her name that day, were waiting for him in front of the obelisk. They had invited William to dinner and wanted to be friends. William couldn't say no, and they soon became friends. In fact, in just a few days, friendship deepened much faster than William expected.William learned a lot from Elle in particular. He was an apprentice who had excelled in the arrays. The two made a perfect pair, as Mura was also very skilled in combat. Elle was especially good at sequences that could trap enemies, restric
