Chapter 257

0.

Although the missions for the level 200s and 350s had ended.

The other level ranges were still in full swing.

Of course, that news had already been delivered to them as well.

"...What? The side with the Demon King is already finished???"

"D-does that even make sense?"

"W-we've only made it to the halfway point!?"

"Crazy..."

Those who heard the news were all shocked.

This was especially true for the group of rankers in the level 300 to 349 range.

"...Ha."

"We're about to finish soon too, but..."

"He was even faster than the single rankers?"

"...The Demon King..."

Even the rankers who had initially dismissed him as a rookie couldn't help but repeat Seonghyun's name one by one.

Although it was said that there were no more latecomers newly entering the rankings recently.

Reversals still happened from time to time.

Wasn't that the case with Yuna, who had now risen to 5th in the rankings?

Even though she started several months later than the vanguard.

A being who, as a latecomer, surpassed all other rankers to reach the single ranker position.

Because there were irregulars like her.

They couldn't let their guard down.

Honestly, they didn't want to admit that the Demon King was an irregular like Yuna, but.

"What? The two of them are siblings???"

"This is insane..."

"No wonder he joined Rapid Guild."

"It was strange from the start for someone with that much skill to join an existing guild."

Usually, skilled players on the level of rankers would try to become king themselves.

It was rare for them to go under someone else.

They had thought it was strange or that he was an insignificant guy, but.

To think it was the Demon King.

Everyone clicked their tongues in unison.

As the Apophis event for the rankers also came to an end.

Gradually, the events for the other level ranges also began to wind down.

[LoweredMyLevel: The other places aren't finished but the Demon King is???]

└[DieWhileLooting: Yeah, the Demon King and Yuna finished first.]

└[LowHP: The rankers' section is finished too lol, it's insane.]

[QuitHealing: Wow, they practically monopolized it;;; What's up with Rapid Guild???]

└[MaxBuffs: Rapid Guild is gonna skyrocket this time;;;]

└[QuitHealing: For real;; For the 200s, 1st to 3rd place are from Rapid Guild, for the 250s Rapid Guild is 2nd, for the ranker 300s Rapid Guild is also 2nd, and for single rankers only Yuna survived;;;]

└[GoldOnly: Any suckers who still haven't bought Rapid Guild stock???]

[LegendaryItemSeller: Wow, but the Demon King's monopoly is truly crazy.]

└[ExplodeWhileEnhancing: He's amazing;;;; So why did he turn off the stream??? Please turn it back on TTTT.]

└[DungeonObserver: I'm so curious about the rewards TTTT.]

Even on the internet, people were admiring Seonghyun's achievements.

It was certainly absurd that the level 200s were much faster than the 250s, and they were even faster than the rankers.

Naturally, he was bound to receive attention.

Not only that, but the fact that Rapid Guild had taken most of the top spots made it even more so.

Of course.

The guild that took 1st place was also the same.

[DieWhileDealing: Wow, but the 1st place guild is also relentless.]

└[EnhancingIsGambling: For real lol, look at them holding onto 1st place in the ranker and 250s categories just because they're the #1 guild in the rankings.]

[PartyKillWhileMobbing: Even Rapid can't do anything about those guys;;;]

└[LootingMaster: I think Rapid will catch up to Dominion, the 2nd place guild, soon, but I really don't know about 1st place.]

└[BossDetector: It's hard to beat the guild that's been #1 since the service opened lol]

No matter how great Rapid Guild was, it was difficult to claim 1st place.

Although Yuna and Seonghyun had proudly taken 1st place in the 350s and 200s single ranker categories.

They were bound to be pushed back in other areas.

The guild that had monopolized 1st place since the service opened.

First Guild.

It was hard to catch up to their stronghold.

But in people's minds, a thought began to sprout.

What would happen if Seonghyun leveled up quickly and reached the ranking bracket?

Could he then bring down First Guild's stronghold?

With anticipation.

[All missions in all level ranges have been completed.]

[Calculating rewards.]

All missions across all level ranges had ended.

1.

Seonghyun, who had become the center of attention, was also quite expectant.

Of course, he didn't turn on his stream.

Revealing rewards was something that was almost never done.

He had already received the tremendous item, the Crown of Obsidian Twilight.

But there was no way Over Palace would have only prepared this.

With that thought, Seonghyun said his goodbyes to the backup team and quietly waited to receive his rewards alone.

The result of his waiting.

[Calculating all contribution points from within 『Apophis's Interior』.]

The system message he had been waiting for appeared.

Will the rewards come out right away?

Just as he thought that.

[There is a factor that will enhance the rewards before calculation.]

'Hmm?'

A sudden message saying the rewards would be enhanced.

And.

[You have made the greatest contribution to the execution of the 『Stomach of Corrosion』.]

[Rewards will be enhanced.]

[You have made the greatest contribution to the destruction of the 『Spine of a Myriad Soldiers』.]

[Rewards will be enhanced.]

[You have single-handedly destroyed the 『Gland of Encroachment』.]

[Rewards will be enhanced.]

[You have single-handedly destroyed the 『Corrupted Heart』.]

[Rewards will be enhanced.]

[You have executed the guardian of the Hidden Stage, 『Apophis's Heart』, the 『Fragment of Ass, the Serpent of Salvation』.]

[Rewards will be enhanced.]

'Wow.'

Looking at it this way, he realized he had done a lot.

Well, how could this be seen as an individual effort?

Realistically, it should be seen as a team.

As Seonghyun thought so, he examined the next message that appeared.

[Event rewards will be calculated.]

[You have achieved an accomplishment impossible to achieve alone in a world event.]

[You have acquired the title, 『World Star』.]

The first thing that appeared was a title.

Judging by the name, it didn't seem like a very useful title.

Still, since it was a title obtained from a world event.

『World Star』

→《Legendary+》

→A title granted to the user who overwhelmingly took first place in contribution points for a world event boss for the first time in the history of Eternal World.

→Receives favor from good-aligned NPCs.

→All quest rewards +50% increase.

'Oh.'

It was hard to say it was amazing.

But it was better than he thought.

To be able to get an additional 50% on all quest rewards.

It was quite profitable.

Then, the next reward.

As expected, the message he was waiting for appeared.

From now on, the real rewards begin.

[You have acquired a vast amount of experience points.]

[Level Up!]×20

[You have reached level 220.]

[By reaching a 10-level milestone, the Almighty-rank item, 『Overlord's Grimoire』, will be activated.]×2

[By reaching a 10-level milestone, the Almighty-rank item, 『Tome of Blood』, will be activated.]×2

[Deferred level rewards will be given together.]

[New skills will be unlocked for reaching levels 200, 210, and 220.]

'My level...'

It went up by 20.

A level-up of a magnitude he had never seen before.

They certainly gave a lot.

It did say a vast amount of experience.

A tremendous level up that surprised even Seonghyun.

With this, he could move on to the next region immediately.

And while Seonghyun was amazed starting with the level up, that wasn't the main thing. Thɪs chapter is updated by novèlfire.net

Deferred level rewards will be given together.

He had reached level 200 but hadn't received a skill.

This meant he could receive it now.

Just as Seonghyun was getting his hopes up.

[As the 1st place contribution reward, you will acquire 『Forgotten Myth』 from 『Fragment of Ass, the Serpent of Salvation』.]

Out of the blue, it showed what he had acquired.

Why?

But he soon understood the reason.

[The 『Forgotten Myth』 you have acquired awakens another monarch's power latent within 『Overlord』.]

[Three skills will be woven into one to create the 『Tome of the Monarch』.]

[You have acquired the temporary item, 『Tome of the Monarch』.]

[When using the 『Tome of the Monarch』, you can choose one from the list of new monarch powers latent within 『Overlord』.]

'Wow.'

It had transformed into something that would amaze even Seonghyun.

The Tome of the Monarch.

Although it was reduced to one skill instead of three, it was actually better.

Monarch-type skills were far superior to other Almighty-rank skills.

He had no complaints at all.

In fact, if he could trade three skills for one monarch-type skill, he would want to do it again in the future.

As Seonghyun was marveling.

As if not to be forgotten, another message appeared, and a black light flickered from Seonghyun.

[The Almighty-rank skill, 『Lord of Abyssal Terror』, confirms the user 『Seonghyun』's current terror-type skills.]

[The conditions are forcibly met.]

[『Overlord』 3rd Class Advancement (Complete)]

[『Overlord』 Lv 200 (Complete)]

[『Forgotten Myth』 Acquired (Complete)]

[The Almighty-rank skill, 『Lord of Abyssal Terror』, awakens its true power.]

[Terror-type skills are integrated into 『Lord of Abyssal Terror』.]

[The integrated skills can be used as they were originally, and can also be reproduced as the 『Lord of Abyssal Terror』 skill.]

Just as the Lord of Darkness had done before.

It awakened its true power, and all terror-type skills were integrated.

'Ah.'

Terror-type skills.

They were quite useful as debuffs or curses, but it was a little disappointing.

He still didn't know how to properly utilize terror-type skills.

If it had been the Lord of Blood, he could have utilized it right away.

But without even a moment to express his disappointment.

The next reward messages came pouring out.

[Your fame spreads throughout the Eternal World.]

[As the 1st place contribution reward, you acquire the pet, 『Ass's Egg』.]

[Caution]

[『Ass's Egg』 is a mythical being.]

[『Ass's』 ego is more distinct than other pets.]

[It may disobey commands, and relentless effort is required to handle 『Ass's Egg』.]

'Huh?'

He just happened to have collected the corpse.

They're giving it as a pet too?

This was unexpected, so Seonghyun was quite surprised.

If he put Ass's soul into Ass's Egg, it seemed like it would be better than he thought.

Just as Seonghyun was thinking that and feeling satisfied.

[As the 1st place contribution reward, you acquire the Almighty-rank item, 『World Eater, Apophis's Heart』.]

[You have received all rewards.]

[Congratulations on 1st place.]

With that message, the rewards finally ended.

He was able to acquire a monarch-type skill, got a mythical pet, and the Lord of Terror was enhanced.

And on top of that, an additional Almighty-rank item?

Just how much were they planning to give?

With a dazed feeling, Seonghyun opened the information for the last item.

『World Eater, Apophis's Heart』

→《Almighty》

→A jewel imbued with the power of Apophis, who once tried to devour the world in the distant past.

→Increases the holder's max health and max mana by +50%.

→Increases the holder's mana and health recovery speed by +100%.

→World Eater can be used once a day.

→When using World Eater, it absorbs all skills and temporarily increases stats by the power of those skills.

→Additionally, for each skill devoured by World Eater, Intelligence and Wisdom permanently increase.

*Current number of devoured skills: 0

An absurd item was listed there.

“...Ha.”

‘The rewards for this event are really more generous than I thought... is this okay?’

They're not going to take it back later, are they?

They were rewards that couldn't help but make him think that.
