Chapter 428
Chapter 428
A weapon that contains the power to annihilate enemies and unlock the seal of the administrator's hand.
[First, we need to acquire SSS-grade equipment....]
The first prerequisite for this is an SSS-grade item.
[And it needs to be a fire attribute and compatible weapon. It won't be easy to find...]
"I happen to have one."
[...You do?]
Sung JiHan nodded and took out the Phoenix Spear from his inventory.
It's perfect for the SSS-grade and fire attribute compatibility.
"There was such a weapon?"
"Did you never use it when I was around? It was a weapon I used frequently in the past."
It was a weapon that was essential when dealing with enemies, but recently, Sung JiHan didn't use it much because it was more direct to use the power of the administrator to reduce stats.
"With this... the first condition is satisfied. We just need to infuse it with the power of annihilation."
"How do we do that?"
"First, write the destruction code, and then write 'Finishing Move' in front of it. Then it becomes the power of annihilation."
"...A finishing move? Are you kidding?"
Is he really saying this seriously?
Sung JiHan furrowed his brows.
"It's real... It emphasizes the power of annihilation with a special character."
"Then if we write 'Finishing Move' in front of any other code, will they all be emphasized?"
"Not exactly. Only the annihilation will be particularly emphasized."
The red administrator.
In the end, is it a useless existence?
Sung JiHan smirked and changed his mind about writing the code on the Phoenix Spear.
"If we do it like this, there's no point in sealing it as you said."
The seal that was placed on the hand even when Asoka was stabbed by a sword.
It couldn't be easily released like this.
It's more convenient to keep it in a state where the red eyes are closed until the stats are fully utilized.
"Hey, but if I do this, won't my weapon disappear?"
"What if it does? I'm here."
"But if you don't come back and my weapon disappears, I'll suffer a great loss."
"...Didn't you say you didn't use it until now? This spear."
"Now I'm trying to expand its utility. Honestly, tell me. If I write 'Finishing Move Destruction Code,' is there really no risk of losing the spear?"
"It will disappear 100%. But I will come back."
"Then, what's the probability that both the spear and the seal won't be released?"
"That... I can't jump to conclusions, but it will be around 50%."
That's it.
"No, 50%?! That's a fifty-fifty chance!"
Sung JiHan, who had only sent determination to his arm until now, let out a surprised voice.
"I hate gambling the most in the world. I can't entrust my SSS-grade spear to such a probability."
"Master! 50% is worth it! And if you fail, you can just find another one, right?"
"No. The Phoenix Spear has an option to upgrade guild characteristics. It's too valuable to be consumed like this."
"Does it raise guild characteristics? That spear?"
"Yes."
Among Sung JiHan's words, the administrator's hand focused on something unexpected.
"...If we do this, the performance as a complete weapon may not reach the level of a real SSS-grade."
"Because of the additional option that raises guild performance?"
"That's the problem. If we do this, the success rate may drop below 20%..."
"This won't work."
If this happens, Bonghwanggi will be eliminated, and I'll have to find a new SSS-class weapon.
Sung JiHan raised the corner of his mouth.
"Oh... If I had a code medium, I would have definitely succeeded. What a shame."
"A code medium?"
"A medium that can contain the code... The artifact that the Void possesses can definitely contain the ultimate skill eradication code."
When the administrator mentioned the code medium, he began to express his regret.
If only I had that item, it would be a 100% success.
"Why do all the items he needs happen to be in my inventory?"
Sung JiHan looked at the administrator's hand suspiciously.
Surely he doesn't know about it, right?
"So, if I find a code medium, can I just use the ultimate skill eradication code on it?"
"If you have it, you need to fuse it with that spear. Then you will be able to see the 'Spear of Annihilation' that is always activated."
"Hmm... How do I fuse them?"
"You just need to use the fusion code on both sides... That should give it a performance worthy of being the administrator's weapon."
"It will be a weapon worthy of the administrator? Can it really have that kind of performance?"
Sung JiHan's eyes sparkled.
Bonghwanggi and the code medium. They have been sitting in my inventory because I haven't found a use for them recently...
If I can fuse them properly, does that mean it will become a weapon of administrator level?
"It's a spear that constantly activates annihilation. If you add more enemies to it, you can further enhance it. With this, it can become the main weapon of the Red Administrator."
"Oh..."
"But by the way, do you happen to have the main code medium?"
"He said the Void has it. Do you think I would have such a treasure?"
"Well, I have a feeling about that..."
"Because I'm curious."
"Well... But if I had it, I would have used it or left it..."
That's true.
You did well to get the sword and not use the spear.
While Sung JiHan was managing his expression like that...
"Ugh... I don't have the power... The crazy seal... How did the Holy See seal the administrator's hand?"
"Right. It did."
"The main... Then find another SSS-class fire attribute weapon and just use the ultimate skill on it..."
"But won't the weapon fly away?"
"Only the letters of the ultimate skill won't fly away... Instead, the weapon will be reinforced to match the enemy."
The weapon doesn't break and only gets stronger.
Except for the fact that its name is 'ultimate skill,' it's a completely good code.
Of course, it only enhances the enemy, so it can't be used on every weapon.
"Okay. Then I'll keep reinforcing this weapon steadily."
"I believe you... Main. You... need to release me. That's the only way to fulfill the great mission..."
"Understood."
"And if you can't find an SSS-class weapon, there is a last resort... First, spread rumors about the weapon..."
Sss...
With those words, the administrator's hand lost its power again.
Has it been sealed again?
"Alright."
Sung JiHan organized his thoughts about the ultimate weapon 'Spear of Annihilation' that the administrator's hand had revealed.
"I have all the preparations, but I don't need to fuse them right away."
If I complete the Spear of Annihilation, it's obvious that the administrator's hand will plead for it to be unsealed again.
Revealing my true intentions to this hand should be done at a later time.
"I'll keep the code medium in my inventory."
I should try using the ultimate move and strengthen the Bonghwanggi.
When Sung JiHan made up his mind.
"...Uncle, did you break the seal?"
Ever since Sung JiHan voiced his dislike for gambling, Yoon Sae-ah, who had been quietly listening, spoke up.
"I woke up for a moment. But the seal was reinstated after I revealed the unsealing method."
"Oh, so it was possible to unseal it. How can it be done?"
"Write the ultimate move on a weapon for now."
"...Is he not in his right mind because of the seal?"
Thinking like this is normal.
Sung JiHan nodded his head and looked at Yoon Sae-ah.
Come to think of it.
"Why does he keep staring at Sae-ah?" I never asked.
Yoon Sae-ah, who had been constantly looking at him with her red eyes, which Sung JiHan had heard about.
The Administrator's hand would never just look at Yoon Sae-ah.
There must be a reason.
Sung JiHan recalled the last story of the hand.
[And if you can't find a weapon of SSS rank, there is a last resort... First, try asking about weapons...]
The 'last resort' that he didn't tell him what it was.
That's what's at stake.
"Sae-ah."
"Yeah?"
"Even if the hand provokes you, ignore it."
"Hey, how can I not touch his things?"
"Just do the opposite of what he says. We're not in a completely cooperative relationship."
"Oh, really? There must be some circumstances... Got it, Uncle!"
Yoon Sae-ah widened her eyes and nodded her head.
"Okay. I'll use the ultimate move for a moment."
"...Are you really going to use that?"
Sung JiHan nodded his head and disappeared into the training ground of emptiness.
'Ultimate move, huh. No matter how much I think about it, it doesn't make sense.'
Yoon Sae-ah looked at the spot where her uncle disappeared and tilted her head, then headed towards the refrigerator.
She took out an ice cream from there and sat on the sofa, watching TV and eating it.
Buzz...
She looked at her vibrating phone.
'Ha-yeon unni?'
Beep.
As soon as she answered the call.
"Sae-ah! What did the owner do?!"
From her phone, she heard Ha-yeon's excited voice.
"What's going on, unni?"
"The guild option suddenly got enhanced! And it's +4!'
"Really...?"
"Yeah. It seemed like it wouldn't be easy to level up here, but how did it go up by +4 each? Are you at the owner's house by any chance?"
"No, I went to the training ground."
"Oh, really? What did you do there...?"
At those words, Yoon Sae-ah blinked.
If Sung JiHan going to the training ground meant using the ultimate move...
"...Did it work?"
* * *
The star of the God of War, Tuseong.
"You did well."
After a long time, Musing greeted Asoka, who had returned after finishing the tournament, with a willing voice.
"...I couldn't bring back my hand, so I am ashamed."
"It's okay. If Dongbangsak comes out in the next tournament, it'll be enough."
Although this tournament only reached the level 8 of the Holy See, when Sung JiHan is promoted in the Challenger League, he will eventually be able to participate in level 9 matches.
If Dongbangsak, who is at level 9, comes out, it will be certain that the hand will be recovered.
"Before that, you have already done enough by sealing him so that he cannot act recklessly."
"...Thank you."
Asoka bowed her head and covered her pierced chest.
"Well... Can I go to the sealing place now to heal my wounds?"
To try to enter the sealing place herself.
'Looks like she has some foolish intentions.'
Musing interpreted those words positively.
If Asoka enters the sealing place, she will not have any influence on the outside world.
She will only come out at the last moment when the Golden Lotus Sutra is turned, to assist in the regression.
Judging by her actions, she was more loyal to Musing than anyone else.
"Is your condition not good?"
"I was hit by the Void Sword. In this state, it won't be easy to use the Golden Lotus Sutra in the last moment."
"If you were hit by the Void to that extent... even if you go to the sealing place, it will be difficult to fully recover."
"I will do my best."
When Asoka said calmly, Musing's eyes flashed.
The attitude of trying hard is good, but if something goes wrong at the last moment, only she will be at a loss.
'His loyalty has been somewhat proven.'
After the Administrator's hand was sealed, Musing, whose heart was more relaxed, treated Asoka more generously than usual.
"Go to the Tower of Gold. I will heal you there."
"Do you mean the Tower of Gold of Gilgamesh?"
"Yes. You will be able to obtain the fruit that will heal your body. I will inform Pithia."
"...Thank you. I will follow your orders."
After deeply bowing her head, Asoka disappeared.
Musing briefly looked at the place where she disappeared.
Twinkle!
This time, he activated Shinan without Pithia.
Through Shinan, he glimpsed the possibilities of the future.
"Indeed."
He spoke with the most satisfied voice he had in a long time.
"I can no longer see... a future where I lose."
Sung JiHan, who could only win by becoming the Red Administrator.
Since the possibility disappeared with Asoka's sealing, Musing's victory was certain.
"As soon as I recover my hand, I will finish this round."
This round.
It has been full of ups and downs, but if it ends like this, it will be the time when I gain the most.
While Musing was evaluating this sealing achievement with satisfaction.
"Here you are."
Asoka stepped on the Golden Tower with sunken eyes.
There, Pithia, who was smiling in front of the tower.
"Ah... Did you do something today?"
And Gilgamesh, whose body was mostly buried in the wall of the tower, with only his face barely visible.
