The Master of Strength

Chapter 45

Myeonghu confirmed its properties as he stepped out of the Blacksmith’s shop.

<Agility Pil [Rare]> [Bound]

Restrictions: None

Permanently increases Agility by +10

“…”

Myeonghu was speechless, he hadn’t expected the quest reward to be an item which increased his stats. Of course he wasn’t the least bit disappointed, instead it was a surprisingly good harvest.

“10 Agility for each… that 30!”

By consuming all three pills he could permanently increase his Agility by 30.

“… It’s not like I’d trade it anyways.”

Since it was an item that was bound to him, Myeonghu didn’t hesitate and popped all three into his mouth.

[You have consumed an Agility Pill, Agility +10]
[You have consumed an Agility Pill, Agility +10]

[You have consumed an Agility Pill, Agility +10]

After seeing the messages he pulled up his character page.

“Hoho”

His Agility was now 45. Although it was only an increase of 30, it felt like such a drastic change for that usually unchanging stat.

“Let’s take care of it now.”

He decided to ride this new momentum and finally assign the Bonus Stats which he had been on the fence about.

“I’m not sure about it yet, so let’s just use 300 of them.”

He poured 300 points into Wisdom, keeping 60 in reserve.

“I can finally use all my skills.”

He had been unable to use many of his skills due to a lack of Mana, but now that he had invested in Wisdom, his Mana pool had grown accordingly.

“Can’t wait to try them out….”

He felt eager to test them for the first time.

“Let’s get going.”

He closed the window and headed to the Butcher’s .

“Would be nice to be able to buy them.”

On his way their he pull up his Quest page.

✿<Ga Dogu’s Experiment Material A>

Ga Dogu, the Chief and Doctor of Himise is experimenting with a new recipe and requires a lot of raw material. However it would be too time consuming for him to do it himself. Go out and gather the required materials for Ga Dogu!

[Bear’s Gallbladder 0/50]

[Great Fox King Inner Core 20/10]

[Aqua Wolf’s Liver 0/5]

Difficulty: E

Quest Reward: Mana Enhancement potion

✿<Tilto’s Craftsmanship 2>

Tilto is crafting an Item and requires the Tails of the Monstrous Foxes which are known to be as hard as steel and the Fangs of the Aqua Wolf. Go hunt the Monstrous Foxes and Aqua Wolves, returning with their Steel Tails and Fangs for Tilto!

[Monstrous Fox’s Steel Claws: 26/20]
[Aqua Wolf’s Fangs : 0/20]

Difficulty: D

Quest Reward: ???, Tilto’s Craftsmanship 3

“100 Gallbladders and 10 Livers. The Gallbladders should be a cinch, but the Livers….”

Buying the Gallbladders would cost him 10 gold. He wasn’t such a miser that he’d waste his time hunting over 100 bears just to save on 10 gold. However he would first check the price of the Aqua Wolf’s liver before deciding to buy them. He wasn’t willing to spend more than several hundred thousand won.

“Anyways I need to catch the Aqua Wolf.”

He had received the next step in Tilto’s chain quest which was also one which required him to gather materials. This time he needed the Steel Tails of the Monstrous Fox along with the Fangs of the Aqua Wolf. Since he needed their Fangs, he already had no choice but to hunt them.

“Welcome!”

“Hello!”

He walked in and greeted Teren. Arriving at the counter he got straight down to business.

“I’d like 100 Bear Gallbladders.”

“…? 100?”

“Yes.”

“They are 10 silvers each, so it will be 10 gold.”

Myeonghu handed him the coins in exchange for the Gallbladders which he placed in his inventory.

“Perhaps you…”

“…Yes?”

“Do you happen to have Liver of Aqua Wolf?”

“Aqua Wolf’s Liver?”

Teren answered somewhat uncomfortably, to which Myeonghu nodded.

“I’m sorry, but it has already been sold out.”

“Oh?”

Myeonghu was surprised upon hearing Teren’s response.

“I used to have 13 Aqua Wolf Livers in stock, but they’ve all been sold recently.

There weren’t too many players in this small village, so Myeonghu had a good idea of who had purchased them after hearing what Teren said.

“Okay, Good bye!”

“Please come again!”

Myeonghu made his way out of the village and walked towards the Aqua Wolves’ territory.

“The wolf area was this way?”

He walked in the direction he remembered first encountering wolves.

…

It didn’t take long for him to find their habitat. The wolves were now beginner monsters compared to him and would cower away upon meeting him due to the difference in their levels.

“I need to find the river.”

Myeonghu thought as he stared at the wolves which stood there frozen

After some exploring he easily caught sight of the river.

“It’s… huge.”

It was more than just its size, the scenery itself was simply stunning. He walked along the river, enjoy the sights. He lost track of time, and before he knew it the trees began to thicken.

“Is it here?”

From what he had learned from Ga Dogu, if he were to follow the river, a sudden increase in the concentration of the trees would mark the beginning of their territory in the Boros Mountains.

Myeonghu stepped inside the thick bushes, looking for the Aqua Wolves.

“….What’s going on?”

He had been searching for quite some time now, but hadn’t found a single one.

Hmph!

He had a slight frown as he continued his hunt for the Aqua Wolves.

Aoooo!

Grrrr

He had finally caught sight of them for the first time.

‘Just how many are there?’

It wasn’t just one or two, but a pack of around 15 of them. It seems like all the wolves were gathered here.

“…!”

Myeonghu quickly opened up his skill page as a certain skill to deal with the crowded Aqua Wolves came to mind.

Level: 1

Proficiency: 0%

Strike the ground with a heavy punch in order to send all enemies within a 10m radius flying into the air.

Effect: Airborne Physical Damage 5000, Physical Damage suffered from the fall X 500%

Mana Cost: 700

Cool time: 4 minutes

He looked over the skill and then smiled as he watch the pack of wolves. He had been wanting to try out the skill all this time and a perfect opportunity had presented itself.

He began to walk towards them.

-Aooo?

The Aqua Wolf closest to Myeonghu spotted him and alerted the others with a howl. As the the entire pack turned to face him, he raised his fist.

“Quake Strike”

Huuuuung

Upon casting the skill, a pure white light began to gather around his fist.

Bang!

He leapt towards them and struck the ground, as the white poured into the earth.

Uwoong!

In less than a second the ground shook, before catapulting the surrounding Aqua Wolves into the air.

Aooo!

Aoooo!
