Chapter 54: Dragon Phoenix Gathering (2)

After submitting the byproducts of the Human-faced Spiderr as evidence, the Leader summoned him.

“Take this.”

[Golden Dragon Elixir]

[Increases all stats by 20% upon consumption. (Not stackable)]

He handed him an elixir.

“The Leader even gives this kind of thing. I guess I’ve risen quite a bit in the ranks.”

“Is that why you’ve been sulking all this time? But you’re also at fault. If you were going to reveal it anyway, why didn’t you do it sooner?”

“I’m also quite sorry. There were circumstances.”

He shrugged and received the Golden Dragon Elixir.

There was no reason to save it.

The Sect Leader probably wants to increase his power right now.

[Consumed Golden Dragon Elixir!]

[All stats increased by 20!]

‘Sweet.’

It’s a god-level stat increase.

Of course, since it’s not divine, it’ll be a bit disappointing when he takes another elixir later, but...

‘Well, it’s not bad.’

Anyway, if he’s going to escape after the Dragon Phoenix tournament ends, he needs to have at least one more stat point.

That’s why he was thinking of taking the Sword Sect Elixir as well.

“Just keep doing this. Then you’ll be the next successor.”

“I’ll try my best. But is there anything else you might give me?”

“......This kind of elixir is not common even in the Sado Alliance.”

“What about martial arts books?”

“If you win the tournament, you’ll be given everything without even asking.”NEew stories at no/vel/bi/n(.)com

Tsk tsk.

It seemed that he didn’t want to give out any more.

‘It seems like there really is no elixir left....’

He seemed to think that giving him martial arts books now would be meaningless.

And he was actually right.

“Then how about equipment....?”

“The only thing you can carry to the Dragon Phoenix tournament is a weapon.”

Ah, so that’s why he only gave him one ghost sword?

It could have been a chance to replace all his armor with unique items.

What a shame.

“Then do you have any leftover bones and materials?”

“Bones and materials? Are you talking about the things from the monsters?”

“Yes. I need them to strengthen my necromancy.”

“There might be some left in the warehouse.”

“Can I take them?”

“If you want.”

“Thank you.”

* * *

The Sado Alliance was certainly a large organization.

When Kim Minwoo went to the warehouse, an enormous amount of materials and bones greeted him.

Unfortunately, not all of the top-tier items were available for removal, but it was still a huge jackpot.

Of course, he took it all.

The warriors guarding the warehouse were a bit scared, but it wasn’t his business.

Didn’t the Leader himself give permission?

He filled his subspace Ring to the brim.

Thanks to that, he was able to easily strengthen his golem.

[Bone Golem]

[Occupation: Warrior]

[Level: 120]

[Skills: Provocation (A), Defensive Stance (B)]

[Loyalty: 100]

[Strength: 320(+160)] [Agility: 170(+85)] [Vitality: 300(+150)] [Mana: 90(+45)]

[ Great Success Special Effect.]*

[ Flexibility increased by 30%]*

[ Strength increased by 10%]*

[ Weight increased by 10%]*

A Great Success that burst forth from the spine of the Human-faced Spiderr.

Thanks to that, its flexibility increased greatly, and with the help of the Sado Alliance, he was able to further increase its strength and weight with Great Success.

On top of that, its stats increased significantly.

By the way, the 50% stat increase from Death Lord was also applied to all additional stat increases.

In other words, half of all additional stats from equipment or bone exchanges were also increased.

EX-rank was not EX-rank for nothing.

And there was still more to strengthen.

[‘Bone Golem’ equips the Hard Steel Breastplate Set!]

[‘Bone Golem’ equips the Hard Steel Shield!]

[‘Bone Golem’ equips the Vicious Steel Mace!]

[Armament Enhancement (B) effect applied!]

[Strength +120, Agility +50, Vitality +120]

Even without that, the sight of its massive size wrapped in steel armor was no joke.

“Kyaaaah.”

Solid, solid.

That was when it happened.

The golem, which had been staring intently at its own body, raised its hands in joy.

[‘Bone Golem’ is very happy with its master’s favor!]

[‘Bone Golem’ wants its master to give it a name!]

[Would you like to give it a name?]

In comparison, the number of escort warriors was only about thirty.

They were elite, but it was clear that many of them would die if they clashed with that number of undead.

The skeletons raised their weapons.

Seeing this, the escort warriors also reached for their weapons.

A tense situation.

“Stop!”

Leader’s voice rang out.

Approaching right away, he looked around and said.

“No one knows what kind of test will come out of the Dragon Phoenix Tournament. There may come a time when cooperation is essential. Are you going to keep fighting each other?”

“.......”

“Baek Muhan.”

“......Yes, Leader.”

“I understand your feelings. You must hate Baek Socheon. But to go far, you need to know how to see things broadly. Do you think it’s really in your best interest to antagonize that child?”

“......I was reckless.”

“Baek Socheon.”

“Yes, Leader.”

“You are the same. Even though your mothers are different, you are still brothers. Do you have to fight each other?”

“I will be careful.”

“I will not tolerate any fighting from now on. Do not criticize each other.”

The Leader, who had calmed the situation down, stepped back.

‘Well, it’s not bad.’

He had to show off his skills at least once anyway.

Otherwise, there would be people who would keep picking on him.

Leader must have thought the same thing, so he just watched until the moment of the clash.

‘They won’t listen if I just talk to them.’

That’s what he was doing now.

Since they hadn’t seen his skills with their own eyes, he was just poking and prodding them to get them riled up.

This should be enough of a warning.

It seemed like he would be able to proceed smoothly from now on.

* * *

Leader’s direct warning.

And even a show of his own strength.

Thanks to that, he was able to move comfortably from then on.

After a week of travel, they arrived at the place where the Dragon Phoenix Tournament was to be held.

Already, people from the Demonic Cult and the Murim Alliance were waiting there, bustling about.

Even the Sado Alliance Leader, Heavenly Demon and the Murim Alliance leader.

The three of them gathered and talked.

‘It’s true that the masters don’t age well.’

All three of them were said to be in their 80s.

To look at them, they looked like they were in their early 50s.

Soon, the Sado Alliance Leader returned and said.

“The Dragon Phoenix Tournament will be held soon. Everyone, get ready.”

Dragon Phoenix Tournament.

At first, he thought it was something like a martial arts tournament.

But it wasn’t.

To be precise, it could be a martial arts tournament, or it might not be.

‘I heard that the test subject changes from time to time.’

There was a reason why the people on this side thought that the heavens were giving them a reward.

How to participate in the Dragon Phoenix Tournament?

A barrier is created in a designated place.

A barrier that only thirty people who have been pre-qualified can enter.

Once all the candidates have entered, a stage is created and the test begins.

The types were varied.

He heard that the topic of the last test a hundred years ago was riding the water.

After thirty people were summoned to a flowing river, the three people who reached the destination first won 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place.

‘I heard a lot of people died back then too.’

Interference could be done in any number of ways.

Just throw a sword at someone who is ahead.

The theme two hundred years ago was mountain climbing, and the theme three hundred years ago was a tournament.

‘There must have been a reason to emphasize cooperation.’

There wasn’t much room for cooperation in a theme like a tournament.

But things were different for things like mountain climbing and swimming.

What if it doesn’t look like you’re going to win?

It was a structure where you could sacrifice your rank by holding back your opponent’s leg for a strong candidate for the group’s victory.

‘I’m kind of curious what’s going to come out.’

Will it be a topic that requires cooperation, or a topic closer to an individual battle?

Soon after.

“It’s a barrier!”

A round barrier was created.

Under the protection of ironclad, the candidates entered the barrier in pairs of ten.

The Demonic Cult members entered first.

Then the Murim Alliance entered, and finally the Sado Alliance candidates entered the barrier.

[All candidates have entered.]

[Entering the stage.]

A space that looks like a remote island.

Kim Minwoo was summoned there.

Then a message appeared.

[The test begins.]

[Kill everyone until the last 3 people are left.]

“......Battle Royale?”

An unexpected topic popped up.
