Chapter 77: Star of the Absolute (2)

TL: Yoni

Edited: Stealth

Muyoung slightly bent his eyebrows.

By looking at the reaction around him, it seemed like forfeit was unprecedented.

Also, there was no doubt in their minds that opponents of Oloness would either die or meet a fate similar to death.

‘The guy doesn’t know me.’

Oloness was a devil. The one who used to serve the 3rd seat Va.s.sago.

Since it was unlikely for the Demon G.o.ds, Demon Kings and the transcendental beings to care about the current Muyoung.

It meant that he was able to detect other’s emotions no matter how weak they were.

Curiosity. The desire to study someone else!

Muyoung broke through his limits when he awakened.

However, none of the monsters in the arena noticed Muyoung’s change.

After his awakening, there were times when his gaze reached Muyoung.

‘It seems a larger stage is needed.’

It didn’t seem like he was trying to avoid fighting him.

If Oloness wanted to fight magnificently on a much large stage, Muyoung didn’t have a reason to refuse.

Rumors about Muyoung quickly spread.

However, he received more attention by being the only dokkaebi to get Oloness to forfeit.

“Is it true that Oloness forfeited?”

The reason for his actions was obvious.

Even if there were duaxinis, only a very few existed. Dokkaebis were monsters that just wandered on the edges of the land.

It was amazing that Muyoung won all his fights but no one thought that Oloness would forfeit.

“You’re right.”

As Muyoung confirmed it, the old dwarf pushed his body close to the bars.

The old dwarf was desperate.

That was why he wanted to believe that was the case but Muyoung denied it.

The best way to get the Three Pickaxe Sack Alliance to forge an equipment for him was to bring the old dwarf in front of him.

If it was possible, Muyoung was planning on having the work done personally by the owner of the alliance, ‘Bartas the G.o.d’s Hammer’.

If Oloness kept avoiding him, there was no way to do that.

“No, starting from the 2nd floor you could forcefully choose your opponent. If you refuse, you become a slave. By knowing his personality, he would rather die than become a slave.”

Muyoung turned his body.

To see if his current att.i.tude was same as when they first met.

“Take, take me! If you truly want to kill him, you will need my help.”

When he looked back at the old dwarf, he opened his mouth again.

His madness disappeared.

“If you are planning on fighting continuously, it is crucial that you maintain your equipment. And in terms of repairing equipment, there aren’t many who can follow me. Please let me help you. Use the equipment I fix to cut his head off.”

The old dwarf banged his head.

Up until now, to obtain his services, many sweet-talked him but they were all liars.

However, the dokkaebi in front of him was different.

If the weapon he worked on pierced through Oloness’s neck, there couldn’t be a more satisfying revenge.

‘Actually, there are quite a lot of equipment that are losing their durability.’

Since Muyoung still had to fight at least a dozen times, it wouldn’t be bad to receive some help.

As Muyoung nodded, with a clank!, the bars started to go down.

It was the branding of a slave.

However, let alone commit suicide, the old dwarf kneeled in front of Muyoung.

His way of speaking had also changed.

All it did was add force to the owner’s words and made it so that they wouldn’t be able to physically harm their owner.

Afterwards, Kalmooh’s eyes sparkled.

“I don’t need it.”

Kalmooh made an odd expression.

“You fix and I fight. That’s all you need to focus on.”

However, Kalmooh smiled at Muyoung’s cold response.

“Leave it to me.”

It wasn’t a bad investment if he thought about how Kalmooh was going to constantly use it.

‘I need to see Kalmooh’s skills.”

It was creating something from nothing. It was only possible for very skilled dwarves.

It seemed like he could wait in antic.i.p.ation.

“Your armor is worn out. It only lasted this far because the skills of the person that made this equipment was exceptional.”

It wasn’t strange for them to be old.

“Will you be able to repair it?”

Kalmooh lifted his hammer confidently.

Kalmooh moved his hands at a consistent rhythm.

It took about 12 hours to fix one.

After a good 5 days, Kalmooh with his pale face showed the repaired equipment to Muyoung.

“Amazing.”

Muyoung hadn’t seen a lot of dwarves but among them, Kalmooh’s skills were good enough to be recognized as top cla.s.s.

In fact, the durability of a few pieces of equipment had actually risen.

More surprisingly, the Shadow Armor had changed.

Name: Shadow Armor

Cla.s.sification: Equipable Type

Effect: By blacksmith Kalmooh, the equipment has been enhanced.

*It allows you to teleport to a shadow within your vision 3 times a day.

Agility +5 was a stat that didn’t exist previously.

It was something most experts couldn’t do.

Kalmooh smiled as he looked Muyoung’s expression.

Muyoung left the 5th floor and headed for the 4th.

“It is possible to have up to 5 vs. 5 fights on the 4th floor. Of course, you can fight alone but it’s normally better to find comrades. But, you still need to watch your back. Even if they are on the same side, they can always betray you.”

He was a slave and would have had to follow even if Muyoung treated him like an object.

“Active, Block! Active. A bit stronger!”

Bug.

3 people were with him.

They were so well-coordinated with each other that they were able to win the fight without many injuries.

After leaving a short comment, he was about to leave.

“O, Oloness!”

Kalmooh ground his teeth.

On the other hand, his opponents were five male dark elves.

“The weak ones always say those words when they group up.”

They immediately surrounded Oloness when the fight began.

As Oloness bared his teeth, the surrounding s.p.a.ce was shrouded with a dark haze.

And the dark elves were drawn into the floor.

Muyoung held Kalmooh’s shoulder as he attempted to run into the arena.

“B, but.”

“…I understand.”

‘He knows how to use specter type skills.’

But unlike the 5th floor, he felt like he could continuously watch Oloness fight on the 4th floor.

Since the fight was already held back. It wasn’t late to fight when he was more certain of his victory.

Someone came to find them just as they arrived at their a.s.signed room.

“Umm, can we talk for a moment?”

Muyoung looked at the visitor as if this was unexpected.

This person who had come to his room holding a cane while sweating was Bug.
