Closed Beta That Only I Played

Chapter 314: Use of Undigested Mineral Mass Revealed (3)

To put it simply, it was a contest to select the strongest player in each area.

I smiled at that message because it was simply natural for me to advance to the finals and win first place. Of course, I know that I might not win if I am too arrogant and conceited. In fact, I often failed to achieve my goal at the last minute because I let down my guard. I was afraid I might repeat the same mistake.

Come to think of it, however, it was ridiculous that I should worry about it at my current level. Besides, it would be disadvantageous to me if I was too humble.

“Well, that doesn’t mean I want to be complacent or arrogant.”

Anyway, there were still three days left, so I took my eyes off the message and concentrated on hunting again while occasionally checking the remaining cooldown of the God of Enhancement.

A little later.

“Move to Kotum Castle!”

[You are now moving to Kotum Castle.]

As soon as I set foot in Kotum Castle, I quickly moved to the blacksmith because the cooldown of God of Enhancement had less than one minute left.

Since I even calculated my traveling time, I stepped into the blacksmith with exactly 0 seconds left.

Then a message rang.

[Please select the item you wish to enhance.]

Without hesitation, I put the +6 Enhancement Ice Emperor’s guardian sword into the enhancement window and opened my mouth softly.

“Activate God of Enhancement!”

[You have activated God of Enhancement.

-100% chance to succeed in enhancing.

-Enhancement target: +6 Ice Emperor’s guardian sword.

-Additional requirements: 750,000,000 golden rings, 4.938,000,000 EXP.

– Cooldown upon successful enhancement: 207 days]

“…”

Only one thing caught my eye, which was the 207 days of cooldown.

Of course, I took that into account when I decided to enhance the guardian sword.

In fact, it was shorter than I thought because I expected the cooldown would double from the previous 125 days. And that was actually what happened when I used God of Enhancement in the past.

But I shook my head to stop dwelling on it, and went ahead with enhancing.

What mattered the most to me right now was to upgrade the Ice Emperor’s Guardian Sword to +7 enhancement. And as soon as I tried enhancing it, a powerful light began to shine on the +6 Enhancement Ice Emperor’s guardian sword. A little later the light disappeared and a message rang.

[You have succeeded in enhancing +6 Enhancement Ice Emperor’s guardian sword.

The +6 Enhancement Ice Emperor’s guardian sword has been upgraded to the +7 Enhancement Ice Emperor’s guardian sword.]

‘Great!’

Of course, I knew I would succeed. Nonetheless, I couldn’t help but get excited about the message announcing the success of +7 enhancement.

It’s because I finally succeeded in upgrading the guardian sword to as high as +7 enhancement.

‘Check item.’

So I immediately confirmed the status of Ice Emperor’s guardian sword which had changed to the +7 enhancement.

[+7 Ice Emperor’s guardian sword (Myth)

-This is the sword containing the final determination of Asirante, the master and emperor of ice, who fought the Sun God Morutu who burned and evaporated everything in the world.

: Level 700 or higher required to equip.

: 7000 base intellect or higher required to equip.

: 10 ice-type skills or more required to equip.

-Effect.

: Increases the performance of all ice-type skills by 15% -> (18%).

– Safety enhancement: 0

-Physical attack power increase: 19050 -> (29500)

-Magical attack power increase: 8800 -> (15750)

-Durability: Infinite/Infinite]

The intellect option was added when the guardian sword reached +3 enhancement, so I expected a new option to pop up when the item reached +6 enhancement. But there was no new option, only an overall increase in the values of the existing options. And it was the same for this time +7 enhancement.

In other words, my physical attack power and magic attack power increased.

Of course, the other values increased as well, compared with when I had the +6 enhancement sword.

In particular, an additional 700 strength, 600 intellect, and 500 agility was somewhat a big increase for just one enhancement upgrade. However, compared to the physical attack power that increased by over 10,000 or the magic attack power that increased by over 7,000, it was just a modest increase. As a matter of fact, this kind of increase was like wearing another new myth grade weapon.

I had one more reason to welcome the +7 Enhancement Ice Emperor’s guardian sword.

‘Yeah, now I can use it freely in reality.’

After all, there was only one reason why I desperately kept hunting, raising levels, and seeking skills and items within ‘Revival Legend.’ It was because I could apply them to reality.

Anyway, now that I had achieved what I had set out to do, I left the blacksmith proudly unlike before.

Of course, there was something that was bothering me. It was to do with certain items in my inventory.

[One 100% Enhancement Success Ticket.]

[2 Cooldown Removal Ancient Charms]

I obtained the 100% enhancement success ticket when I cleared the level 100 limited quest, and the two cooldown removal charms when I cleared the Salimaru Bandits quest. But I had stored them in my inventory until now, waiting for the right time to use them.

And my first thought when I obtained them was that it would be appropriate to use them when the Ice Emperor’s guardian sword reached +7 enhancement so I could immediately make it to +10 enhancement.

However, I confirmed some time ago that +15 enhancement was the limit. So I could not be satisfied with +10 enhancement.

Furthermore, the cooldown upon achieving +7 enhancement was 207 days, so it was very clear that after +10 enhancement, each successive enhancement cooldown would exceed 1000 days. In other words, if I make the sword into +10 enhancement using the 100% enhancement success ticket and the two cooldown removal charms, I would not be able to enhance the sword any longer.

Aside from the 100% enhancement success right, I might be able to obtain the cooldown removal ancient charm again in the future. But I did not want to confine the enhancement value of the Ice Emperor’s guardian sword to 10 right now.

‘Alright. Let me enhance it normally up to +8 enhancement. It will take 207 days for the cooldown to end, but I can put up with it.’

After I made my decision, I headed to the central square, not the Land of Titan, because I needed to apply for the event.

The next day.

“Confirm my participation!”

[Participation status.

: 79852 participants]

I thought the number of participants would be small because even if the participants were over level 1000, only the top sixteen players would receive rewards. In other words, it would be almost impossible for the ordinary participants to be included in the top sixteen. So, with one more day left for registration, I was surprised to find that there were already almost 80000 participants who signed up for the event.
