The Status Window Disappeared

Origin Epic(3)

“Originally, epic items were created because of the event called the Demonic War.”

The king’s explanation began with content that was difficult to understand at once.

Chris was able to recall the word Demonic War in his memory with Gearrick.

It came out when his teacher taught him about the origin of the status window.

“A monster war?”

“It’s a war that happened hundreds of years ago. It seems that for some reason, they fought against beings from another dimension… The important thing is that the original epic item was created at that time.”

Human technology and knowledge develop rapidly in war.

The original of the epic item mentioned by the king is a relic from the harshest war in human history.

So, among the numerous relics, its power is bound to be extraordinary.

Now that the war has ended and technology has declined, it is difficult to simply imitate.

Illesis stopped listening to the explanation and asked a question.

“Wait. Isn’t that a bit odd? No matter how much technology develops during war, hundreds of years have passed since then and it still hasn’t caught up… … .”

“That’s a good point, lady. But the original Epic item… It’s annoying to keep calling you like this. From now on, I’ll just call it Origin Epic.”

Chris and his party clicked on his naming sense, but he continued the explanation regardless.

“Originally, it’s a bit childish, but simple words spread well. Anyway, this Origin Epic is very special among weapons of war.”

“Did you use ingredients that are not available now?”

When Chris presented his guess, the singer nodded coldly.

“There is that, and above all, the producer was a rare genius. But that nobleman disappeared after the war?”

“aha… … .”

They could understand this right away. If Elgar disappears from this world, even if the black magic and the necromancer magic catch little, they will regress by 2 or 3 generations.

Magic is such a science originally.

A small number of geniuses develop their own way, but the lifeline is cut off and the results are lost.

Of course, as Illesis said, most of them will catch up after hundreds of years.

This has to be seen as the creator of Origin Epic is incredibly good.

Singer plucks the strings again to correct the trajectory of the slightly erring story.

“The epic items you have are counterfeits of the Origin Epic. It’s made quite elaborately, but it’s nothing compared to the original.”

“Um… It is the original of the Shield of Faith.”

Chris licked his lips, recalling the epic item he had longed for.

Illesis asked as if whispering to him.

“What effect does it have?”

“In Arios Online, it was a shield specialized in defending against divine power. His ability level was also very high.”

An epic item that is too attractive for Chris, who turned the church union into an enemy.

If you have a shield of faith, you will no longer have to fear divine punishment.

The king of singers laughed lightly at Chris’ expression full of greed.

“Oh, you have a lot of greed. Even if you already have one… … .”

“yes? I only have epic items, but no origin epics?”

When Chris responded by waving his hand, the singer was slightly surprised this time.

“No, not epic items. There is a demonic sword behind your back.”

“uh… This one?”

Chris took out the magic sword he was wearing as a spare and put it on the table.

Then, the king of singers nodded as if to look at it.

“okay. This is the red nail of the Vampire King, a demonic sword that was discovered 300 years ago and quickly lost. Didn’t you know?”

“The Vampire King’s red nails?”

Chris is a bit dumbfounded at the name being so grandiose than he thought.

Tyrone, who was across from him, spoke as if defending him.

“Wait. I’ve never heard of an epic item with that name.”

Tyrone, a self-proclaimed collector, was well versed in all the epic items that existed in Arios Online.

However, Chris, who has been organizing his thoughts in the meantime, shakes his head.

“Wait a minute, Epic Quests must have been added over and over even after we moved into this world. So maybe the imitation of this item hasn’t appeared yet?”

“Ah, it could be.”

As Epic Quests in Arios Online are the main content, they are continuously added at regular intervals.

Singer nodded his reasoning and affirmed it.

“Not all origin epics were copied by imitation. There are many origin epics with properties that are difficult to duplicate… Where the hell did you find this anyway?”

“… It is the grave of the sword.”

When Chris cautiously replied, the singer exclaimed.

“The grave of the sword! I wouldn’t have been able to find it if I was stuck in a place like that. Anyway, the guy who had this is really stupid. All of a sudden, to attack the enemies with the worst compatibility with this demonic sword.”

The king of singers touched Chris’ sword with a hand that felt sincerity and ecstasy.

Chris asks for confirmation even as he feels his heart swell with anticipation.

“But is this really an origin epic?”

“Are you sure. You think I don’t even know this much? Although it has weakened a lot due to starvation for a long time, it is unmistakably genuine.”

The singer replies with a voice full of pride as a bard.

Chris raised his right hand to check it out and called out the demonic sword.

“The Vampire King’s red nails.”

As a suspicious voice resounded, the demonic sword in the king’s hand responded to the owner’s call and jumped across the space.

One of the features of epic items is the summoning function.

After confirming that it was working properly, Chris opened his eyes wide.

“What… Does Origin Epic have a summon function?”

“There’s no way the original doesn’t have the same features that imitations do. Oh, unlike imitations, Origin Epic can be transferred to others.”

The singer who taught Chris new information looked at the magic sword with his eyes shining with anticipation.

It was as if he wanted Chris to show a demonstration.

“So, what function does it have?”

“Oops! look at my mind The Vampire King’s red claws are demonic swords that control the surrounding blood. They say the more blood you feed them, the stronger they become.”

“Control the blood… I can’t quite get a feel for it.”

It’s probably not a trivial thing as it’s name is Origin Epic.

Chris pushed the demon sword into the scabbard with such expectations.

Right now, I have eyes around me, so I can’t use it easily.

The king of singers nods as if he understands him, even though he shows a slightly regretful expression.

“Then what is your next plan? Are you going to attack that ruin?”

“If possible. Because the shield of conviction is hard to give up.”

Even if what’s inside is an ordinary epic item, you won’t be able to ignore it, but it’s even a superior origin epic.

This is how Chris can’t step back.

Singer nodded as if satisfied with his answer, leaned slightly on the table, and spoke softly.

“Then let me in too.”

“yes?”

When Chris and his party all showed worried eyes, the singer relieved their concerns.

“Origin Epic is yours. It’s something that a storyteller like me doesn’t need anyway. I just want to take a closer look inside the ruins.”

“You weren’t familiar with that ruin, were you?”

When Illesis asked a question, the king shook his head lightly.

It was an unexpected answer considering what I knew about the pattern at the entrance to the ruins.

“I just looked for the ruins where the Sword King found the Blade of Grief. Even that came too late and there was not much to salvage. But this time it will be different.”

“ah… What are you going to do?”

Tyrone felt comfortable seeking Chris’ opinion.

Chris, who had been glaring at him slightly, swallowed his saliva and nodded.

“Then let’s go together. It’s reassuring that King Gawang-nim is helping you.”

Although he is not a person who can perfectly control himself, King Singer’s principles of action are very simple and clear. If there is something to talk about, I go there, but I am not greedy to become a leading role.

If I forcibly removed it from here anyway, it would only build up resentment.

The king of singers, smiling at Chris’ answer, unfolds a piece of smooth leather and proceeds with the story.

“good. Then you’d better hurry. There are so many people flocking to this ruin, it seems that some of them have almost completed the map.”

Holding a small but sharp dagger in his hand, the king drew a map of the ruins on the piece of leather.

Chris asked, observing his skillful workmanship.

“Did you explore first?”

“I didn’t do it myself, I gathered information from people I trusted. I wasn’t playing very well here.”

Soon after, when the singer presented a half-finished map, Chris lowered his head and familiarized himself with it.

It’s not a very reliable map, but it’s much better than heading into the ground.

Illesis, looking a bit tired, asked as she looked at the setting sun.

“Chris, when are you leaving?”

“Let’s go as soon as the sun goes down. You don’t have to wait any longer.”

Originally, it would be right to take a little more time to investigate, but a latecomer like Chris needed to move a little more quickly.

Since he had also obtained reinforcements from the King of Kings, this should be fine.

Chris thought so and checked his equipment.

Eventually, as darkness covered the sky, driving away the sunlight, the four men left the tent.

The entrance to the ruins was still crowded, but much better than it had been during the day.

The king of singers takes over the seats of bards who were waiting in line and gestures to Chris and his party.

“Come on, let’s go quickly.”

“You prepared everything in advance.”

“Thanks to you, it made me feel better. Inside the ruins, I will only provide assistance, so please take good care of me.”

When the king of singers speaks in a slightly impudent manner, Chris sticks out his tongue.

In many ways, he was an overly greedy person.

Thanks to his help, the party who entered the ruins were amazed at the interior that was more colorful than expected.

They expected a dirty tunnel, but what appeared in front of them was a sight like a royal tomb. Although it is inside the cave, it is full of magical lights everywhere and the passageway is neat, so it doesn’t feel gloomy at all.

Of course, as befits the ruins of a bust, there are bizarre decorations placed in every corner, but this is tolerable.

“What is this… Would you like to take it if you can?”

“We are grateful.”

Chris responded brightly to Tyrone’s words, but he couldn’t hide his anxiety.

In general, this kind of ruins had a high degree of difficulty.

The singer holding a lute with a calm expression stimulated Chris’ ominous imagination.

“The pride of the owner of the ruins must be quite strong. Ruins like this always have powerful sentinels. Instead, you won’t have to worry about small traps.”

“I’d rather go to the grave of the sword… Chris, are you going to wear the mirror ring like you did back then?”

Chris shakes his head as Tyrone looks on expectantly.

“As King Ga-nim said, there is no need to worry about traps, and even if there were, other adventurers would have dismantled them. First, let’s go to a place where Origin Epic might be.”

Chris recalled the map the singer had drawn and moved in the direction of his suspicions.

Fortunately, the passage of the ruins was not too complicated.

Occasionally, the fork in the road was clearly divided, and there weren’t too many of them.

However, the traces of battle seen everywhere made it possible to guess the hardships of the passengers.

Even the corpses of the watchmen who were supposed to be guarding the passageway had been robbed, but judging from the bloodstains and craters on the walls, it seemed that they were not easy opponents.

Tyrone murmurs slightly bewildered as he passes through the brightly lit aisle.

“What, did the other adventurers take care of everything? Why are you still wandering around these ruins?”

“Doesn’t that mean that the remaining Sentinels are just as strong? Since 5 countries are intertwined, we must pay close attention to each other.

When the singer, who had been carefully examining the decoration and internal structure of the ruins, spoke, Tyrone’s complexion turned pale.

At the entrance of this ruin, mercenaries and adventurers lined up to enter. How powerful would a watchman be if he could defeat them all?

It wasn’t long before Tyrone found an opportunity to clear his doubts.

“Kyaaah!”

A fresh scream erupted from the other side of the aisle, which had been silent until now.

Chris and his party rushed forward without hesitation, holding their weapons tightly.
