After that, we struck a deal very quickly. They proposed that they would allow me to proceed with the event jointly or provide appropriate compensation if I succeeded in breaking the wall.

They even promised to provide a due reward for simply coming to this place even if I failed to smash the wall.

I didn’t give them a specific answer, but deep down I made up my mind to participate in this event right away because participating in all kinds of events and quests is what made me as strong as I was right now. From participating in events and quests, I earned a considerable amount of remaining stat points as well as numerous golden rings and coins. I also obtained Blink with zero cooldown, cooldown removal ancient charms, and numerous titles, all of which I could not obtain through following the same path of growth and leveling up as others.

Therefore, I had no choice but to participate in events or quests unconditionally even if my chances of clearing them were almost zero.

Anyway, I decided to participate in the Mirae’s event, but I first needed to completely smash the little crack in the wall. So, with the Mirae people standing behind me, I stood in front of the wall and opened my mouth quietly.

“Ice Field! Multiple Thin Ice.”

Pasaksaksak!

After using Thin Ice to reinforce the Ice Field first, I used my most powerful instant damage skill Ice Wave, and observed the changes to the crack on the wall.

Puck!

It made quite a big sound, one that was not normal to hear from a cracking wall.

But what was certain was that the crack on the wall was bigger than before.

Perhaps that’s why the Mirae people behind me began to comment in admiration.

“Wow, the crack on the wall wasn’t affected by our attack at all even a little while ago!”

“You bet! I wondered if the crack on the wall had been filled behind because it withstood our numerous attacks until now.”

“Man, I now know why Asirante is so famous!”

Actually, the Mirae Guild must have turned to all kinds of methods to smash the crack and break open the wall. So, they must have been frustrated and agonized because the wall withstood all their attacks.

But I wasn’t satisfied with just this small change in the crack.

I knew I would not be able to smash the crack with just one strike, but I was still unsatisfied.

So, this time I tried using another skill..

It was none other than Ice Storm.

Puck! Puck! Puck!

…

But the little crack on the wall withstood this Ice Storm attack. There was no sound of something tearing this time.

So, I realized that the AOE skill that inflicted sustained damage had no effect at all.

So, waiting for Ice Wave’s cooldown to come back, I opened my mouth quietly.

“Use Savant!”

Currently, the most outstanding stat that Lumen, Asirante possesses among strength, agility, stamina, willpower and intellect, is Intellect.

-Current intellect: 25807.

-Your intellect value will be changed to 51614 for 30 minutes.

-10 days cooldown will occur after the period of 30 minutes that Savant is active.

I didn’t use it as much as possible because of the 10 day cooldown.

I know that if I hoard something too long, it will become useless, but I had no problem hunting at all even without using this new skill.

But this time, I definitely needed it. So as soon as Ice Wave’s cooldown returned, I used it immediately with Savant on the wall with much wider cracks than before.

Puck! Puck!

As soon as I used Ice Wave, a much louder sound than before rang from the wall.

Five minutes later, I had used the Ice Wave more than 20 times.

Because of that, the cracks were more than five times larger than before, and the light coming from the crack was also enormously brighter than at first.

Obviously, the situation now was very different from the beginning.

But there was a problem.

There was no tearing sound from the crack that I started to hear when I attacked for the third time, and there was no change in the crack that had been gradually widened.

“Ice Wave!”

However, I already confirmed that the AOE skill that inflicted sustained damage had no effect, but I had no instant damage skill that was stronger than Ice Wave, so I kept using Ice Wave whenever its cooldown returned.

Puck!

At that moment, there was a huge roaring sound.

…

The same phenomenon that I saw when I first used my AOE skills took place again.

Now I realized clearly that I needed a far more powerful attack to completely smash apart the cracked wall which was tattered with my repeated attacks.

At that moment, Sungyop Yu and Chairman Yon approached me as if they felt the same way.

“I’m really sorry. But we at the Mirae Guild could not even do this much damage.”

“Yes, that’s right.”

Chairman Yon brought up the Mirae player’s mediocre performance as if he wanted to comfort me. Sungyop also comforted me sympathetically as if he agreed with the chairman.

“Wait a minute. I’m not done yet,” I hurriedly responded.

It was too early for me to accept their comforting words. There was still something that I had not used yet.

So I let the startled Chairman Yon and Sungyop stand behind me, then opened my mouth quietly.

“Check the functional skill ring.”

Functional Skill Ring (Legendary)

-It is a functional ring that increases the power of a skill.

: No equipment restrictions.

: Cannot be enhanced.

-Effect.

: Select one of the skills you have, and raise the level of that skill by one level.

– 30 million golden rings are required to change the skill that the effect of this ring applies to.

: Increases the power of the selected skill by 10%.

: If the skill selected is already at the maximum level, the power of the skill is increased by 10% instead. (This 10% overlaps with the above option of 10% making a total of 20% increased power.)

-Physical Defense: 500 Magic Defense: 500

-Durability: 2550000

/2550000

– Selected Skill.

: Level 4 Ice Storm.

: Currently you are using level 7 Ice Storm

Maybe this was an item that was worth more than a myth grade item.

When I showed this to my dad, brother, sister, and Director Sok, they were all surprised. Of course, they were not as surprised as when I first revealed my status window to them. Nonetheless, their jaws dropped when I first showed them this functional skill ring.

But I shook aside such thoughts and opened my mouth right away because only 10 minutes were left of Savant’s buff time.

“Change skill.”

Currently, the functional skill ring’s effects are applied to Level 4 Ice Storm functional skill ring.

-30 million golden rings are required to select another skill.

“Select level 6 Ice Wave.”

Of course, changing the selected skill required a huge amount of golden rings, but it was a small amount to me. So I chose to change it right away.

Even if I did not receive a large reward from this special event, I could still ask the Mirae Guild for at least 10 times more golden rings than what I just spent.

Considering that I was going to change it back to Ice Storm later, I would ask them for at least 600 million golden rings.

Anyway, as soon as I changed the skill, a message rang.

The skill receiving the functional skill ring’s effects has been changed to level 6 Ice Wave.

-Level 6 Ice Wave has been changed to level 8 Ice Wave

“Whew!”

This was my last resort. And what if even this didn’t work?

Of course, I had to go to level up because the only way I could become stronger was to level up unless I participated in other events or quests.

Of course, there were also items, but it would be very difficult for me to upgrade my current items as they were already ranging from legendary to myth grade.

“Ice Field! Multiple Thin Ice!”

With a renewed determination, I used Ice Storm and Thin Ice, then immediately used Ice Wave again.

This was the level 8 skill that I had never possessed before.

Puck!

Bang!

There was no strange tearing sound like before, but there was a tremendous explosion sound as if something clogged had finally ruptured.

“Wow!”

“He has broken the wall!”

“Man, the wall has been smashed apart!”

There were some who shouted for joy more excitedly than I.

They were none other than the Mirae Guild members who were watching me from behind anxiously.
