Chapter 540: Kim Hyunsung vs Park Deokgu (2)

‘This bastard…’

Of course, I couldn’t choose the spear just because of some incitement.

It had enough attack power, but Kim Hyunsung had Durendal that could surpass the Spear of Longinus. It was one of those items that could instantly give him a sense of power.

In addition to this, there was no more room for growth for Durendal since Kim Hyunsung had said that he couldn’t draw out all the power that his sword had. We didn’t have to take a spear that we couldn’t even use.

‘Then, who is going to use it?’

If we looked all over the empire, perhaps we could find its owner, but they wouldn’t certainly be anyone connected to us. It was also true that it would be regrettable if we picked Cho Hyejin since her polearm skills were a bit lacking.

I didn’t want to disregard her, but I didn’t think that she could use a Myth-grade item freely.

It wouldn’t be a bad choice if Kim Hyunsung could use the item, but there was no reason why he would pick a spear when he already had the Durendal.

“No, for now, the Purification Ring is more…”

“No! It definitely has to be the spear! I don’t know why but I really have this feeling.”

“I understand what you’re saying, but it is only right to relieve Kiyoung-ssi some of the burdens as fast as we can. We can do that using this Breech’s Purification Ring!”

“Why can’t you trust Hyung-nim’s words? It definitely has to be the spear! In the first place, it doesn’t even make sense to leave a spear that can pierce through anything.”

“If conditions are right, it is possible to have a similar effect. Of course, that spear is not bad, but logically speaking, the purification ring is better.”

“I believe in Hyung-nim. There won’t be another incident like that. The spear!”

“It’s not that I don’t believe in Kiyoung-ssi. I just think we should close a problem like this. We should go for the ring.”

“The spear!”

“The ring!”

“Spear!”

“Ring!”

“Speeeeeeeaar!!”

“Ring!!”

“Speeeeeeeaaaaar!!!”

“Ri-!”

“-SPEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!”

‘Park Deokgu, you bastard.’

It was as if the scuffle that I saw in the tutorial dungeon was continuing.

I remembered how I had screamed at that moment to use dark magic, making me think that the spear was a bad choice more and more.

If we used dark magic, we could’ve gotten a pretty good result but nothing like what we currently had.

Having listened to Kim Hyunsung’s recommendation to be an alchemist was a stroke of genius and was the best choice that I could’ve ever made.

‘Even though it was a bit hard…’

We had definitely succeeded in improving the quality of the entire army on the continent. Of course, I had also personally succeeded as the individual, Light Kiyoung.

‘No, actually, Kim Hyunsung had told me to be an archer.’

Now that I thought more about it, I became confused. I couldn’t tell if his intuition was good or not. Nevertheless, the best decision was to ignore their fights and focus on the quest we had to complete.

[The quest will end in an hour. Please choose the item you want.]

‘Sh*t.’

I canceled the idea I had and grabbed the item that I could most quickly get.

Maybe I was the only one who saw that message because people started to participate in the debate.

The spear might have been a better choice, but it was only a better option than the worst one.

I glanced at the items on the ground, but there wasn’t anything that I particularly liked. There were Mythic-grade items, sure, but they seemed hard to use. I still couldn’t see an item that I could immediately utilize.

At that point, I just wanted it to be an opportunity for Jung Hayan to get a magic staff and Kim Hyunsung to get something that could protect his body.

Perhaps, something like armor. Or maybe boots that could increase speed or a cloak with high dark magic. Wasn’t there something like that?

I thought that perhaps it would be better to get a Semi-Mythic grade item. Although it lacked in comparison, it was much easier to use.

‘Darn.’

However, it would be such a waste.

I had no choice but to talk in a hurry. I thought I was quite stern, but there wasn’t time to waste. I didn’t want to hurt Hyunsung’s feelings, but Kim Hyunsung at that moment was not our Hyunsung but was about to become someone’s perverted Hyunsung.

It was only proper for me to become firm. I opened my mouth with a stiff face, and he became surprised at what I had to say.

“I am not going to take the Breech’s ring.”

“No, you must take it.”

‘Kim Hyunsung, you little sh*t.’

“It is not an item that I need at the moment. And it won’t benefit the guild or empire if I take the item right now.”

“But…!”

We didn’t have time to argue. I had no choice but to bring my greatest weapon. I filled my eyes with a look of contempt. I didn’t want to glare at him like that, but I had to make a firm decision, as I said before.

“I am upset.”

“What?”

“I didn’t think that you would lack so much trust in me, ha…”

With a look of disappointment, he looked at me as if he would never see me again.

“I told you, I’m sure I’ll be fine. Deokgu is right. If I really thought it was dangerous, I would have accepted the Breech’s ring, but I told you several times that it wasn’t, Hyunsung-ssi.”

“Uh…”

“I now understand how you think of me. But no matter what you say, I will never get that ring, Kim Hyunsung-ssi.”

“Uhhhh…”

I also didn’t forget to mutter just audibly…

“I know why you locked me up now…”

‘Kya, it worked. It definitely went through him.’

It bothered me that I had managed to call his name so coldly, including his last name, but I had to resolve the situation quickly.

Still, I thought he overreacted when he stumbled a bit at my cold response, but I had no time to care for him.

“I definitely thought you would have the same thought as me. Then, the spear!”

“No, not that either. I think it will be best to catch another item as soon as possible. Actually, there’s no good item except the Spear of Longinus. I’m sure all of you have heard the message, but there’s only an hour left, so let’s go back to our location and try to increase our options as much as possible. I think it would be better to pick at least three more Myth-grade items.”

“Yes, we understand, Vice Guild Master.”

“B-But! Hyung-nim! If you think about a bit more…”

“Deokgu, listen well.”

‘I’m so fucking charismatic, fuck.’

I spoke to him with a cold voice, and I could tell that he got discouraged. Other guild members who had a better mentality scattered around to do what I had told them to do.

Sun Hee-young and Elena continued to look at the ring, and with his slumped shoulders, Kim Hyunsung started to move with Cho Hyejin.

Even Jung Hayan approached me to talk to me.

“I-I-I believe in you, Oppa. Yes…”

‘Don’t lie. You wanted to take the ring too.’

Hayan definitely had an evil side. She acted like a crafty fox that looked cute, but there was no time to just think about how cute Jung Hayan was in the current situation.

We had to catch at least three more Mythic-grade items. I wanted to avoid choosing the spear-like Park Deokgu had suggested.

As more time passed, my lips eventually dried.

We needed to allot at least five minutes before the end of the quest, but even that didn’t seem easy. I started to resent the fishing rod that didn’t move.

The other guild members were at least picking out items, but most of them were legendary items.

No, to be exact, it wasn’t like Myth-grade items didn’t come out anymore. It was just that they were all useless.

“O-Oppa, please look at this. This seems like a good item. It’s an earring for two, but you can combine it into one if you combine the right and left sides. Your skill also increases. Even the grade is Myth level… but it seems that after it combining it once, it will never go back to becoming a pair…”

‘Was there a need for that…what was it to become one? Don’t think of weird things, Hayan. I didn’t plan on becoming Blue Eyes Twin-headed White Kiyoung.’

“Vice Guild Master. This is a love potion, and it’s Mythic-grade at that. It can only be used once, but it’s absolutely effective. Of course, the effect is also semi-permanent.”

That was a completely useless Myth-grade potion. With my standard, such items should be a lower grade.

[The quest will end in 30 minutes. Please choose the item you wish to take.]

‘No…’

Sh*t, we couldn’t end it like that.

‘Damn…’

Park Deokgu, who thought we would just end up taking the spear if we didn’t get anything else, didn’t look nervous.

He actually looked relieved to see the items that were coming up.

They were objectively worse than the spear, after all.

“Time is passing… I think it is time to decide.”

‘Not yet, you little sh*t.’

[The quest will end in 15 minutes. Please choose the item you wish to take.]

“Hyung-nim.”

“Keep at it until there’s only 5 minutes left, Deokgu. Let’s think after we finish everything.”

“Yes.”

“As you wish, Vice Guild Master.”

‘Kim Hyunsung, you little sh*t, you have to fish too. What are you just staring at blankly, you bastard?”

[The quest will end in 10 minutes. Please choose the item you wish to take.]

We really didn’t have time. Anxiously, I looked around me, and only a few guild members were collecting items. At that point, it seemed to have been confirmed that we would have to take the spear which Park Deokgu had insisted on.

Nothing changed from biting my lips. But at that moment, I felt myself being pulled forward.

‘This is the last. Sh*t, my last…’

A miracle at last.

It was the last possible catch. I grabbed onto it tightly and tried to pull it out as fast as possible and saw the item start to show itself slowly.

[The quest will end in 5 minutes. Please choose the item you wish to take.]

It didn’t take me long to check the information of the item that I was pulling out; I objectively compared it with the Spear of Longinus. The characteristics of each were clear.

[The quest will end in 1 minute. Please choose the item you wish to take.]

I caught the sprawled-out item, and at the moment that I caught it, the huge ship began to be swept away by a huge wormhole made out of waves, as it had done when we arrived at that place.

“Open sail! Sail!! Sail!”

We returned to Mirror Lake with a smile on my face.

“We’re here!!!”
