Chapter 92: Immortal King’s Armor (End)

Editor: Lesurous

‘It’s hot . ’

Small flamers were splattering on the armor .

A Phoenix was a monster that reached the limits of fire .

Since all its strength came from its heart, it was an obvious thing .

Bartas spoke as he smacked his lips .

“I have seen the Heart of the Phoenix a few times but I haven’t seen one like that . It didn’t simply have fire but had all kinds of characteristics . Where did you even find this?”

Hedley’s Kow was able to transform however it wanted .

Transforming into any living thing, Hedley’s Kow became it .

It’s greatest form was the Phoenix but it didn’t have any limitation to attributes .

As Muyoung didn’t reply, Bartas continued to talk as if he knew Muyoung wouldn’t .

“Either way, that armor is incomplete . ”

“It’s incomplete?”

This time, Muyoung’s voice became quieter .

The armor he received was spotless and had a beautiful exterior .

At least to Muyoung’s eyes, it didn’t have a problem, internally or externally .

However, Bartas was God Hand .

His opinion was probably right . If it was incomplete, he needed to know why .

“It means it doesn’t have a specific characteristic . Right now, the energy of fire is strong and is suppressing the other characteristics but that wouldn’t last long . ”

“Then what happens?”

“I’m not sure . It could get destroyed, lead the user to a path of self-destruction, or even drag them to ‘Subterranean’ .

The Subterranean was the world where shadow monsters lived .

It was also called the hidden world and there was no appearance of monsters that weren’t strong .

Like the time when a shadow criminal appeared in the trial of Oom, the destructive powers would toy with everyone .

Muyoung slightly anticipated that the 11 Masters of Darkness might be the shadows that are active in the hidden world .

Also, there was no standard as to when the Subterranean opened and closed .

Just that in a time, in a place, a rift was created and when it linked to the Subterranean, the shadows from that place flooded out .

There were a considerable number of normal people who were dragged to the Subterranean .

Bartas was talking about that Subterranean .

They say that the Subterranean was born from chaos . Bartas meant that sort of chaos might occur due to the armor .

Either way, it wasn’t an ending Muyoung wanted .

“Is there a way to fix the characteristics?”

“The blood of the user . Basically, by imprinting your blood . Since it’s an item you are going to be using, you can fix the characteristic so that it matches you . It will become a finished armor only you could put on . The problem is…”

An armor only Muyoung could wear!

It was what he wanted . A customized armor meant that it could display that much efficiency .

But, he noticed Bartas’s last words .

Bartas led out a deep sigh as Muyoung met eye to eye with him .

“If your distinct characteristic is weaker than the Heart of the Phoenix, you will be devoured by it . Your body could burn in an instant and disappear . Even I have no idea why that kind of armor was created . Not a magical sword but a magical armor, hah . ”

If it was used for something, it was for a type of weapon that could pierce someone .

There were barely any cases where it happened for an armor .

And items that were known as magical swords were swords normally restricted to the user and demonstrated power .

From the beginning, armors were items that existed to protect the user .

There was no reason why it would be jinxed .

However, Bartas called this armor a magical armor .

‘Do you want to devour me?’

Muyoung quietly looked at the armor .

The small flames crawled higher and were now about to touch Muyoung’s shoulders .

As if it was starving, it was desiring Muyoung’s source itself .

Muyoung couldn’t help but to quietly laugh .

A mere armor is aiming for his life .

An armor born to be worn was trying to kill him .

Only laughter came out at this self-contradicting situation .

Knock it off .

Muyoung instantly wiped his smile off .

Slowly, he started to put on the armor .

Bartas who watched him widened his eyes .

“W, wait! You can’t just thoughtlessly wear it . That armor is jinxed . If you wear it before taming it, it would definitely harm you!”

Bartas was in a hurry .

He was God Hand . There was no way he would have made an armor carelessly .

If anything, he could say it was a better result than normal .

However, to be clear, that armor was incomplete .

To bring out an armor that no one could wear, it was a shameful thing to Bartas .

Only, because he didn’t have time because he made a promise, he just didn’t have a choice .

But, he never thought that Muyoung would just wear it right away .

However, Muyoung didn’t listen to a word Bartas said .

Blazeee!

Instantly, Muyoung’s whole body started to burn after he finished putting the armor on .

The flames permeated and ripped his skin .

As the running blood permeated the armor, the flames burned more fiercely .

Soon, Muyoung had the image of a huge flame reflected in his mind .

That was the Heart of the Phoenix .

It was the will of the heart to devour Muyoung .

‘You cannot consume me . ’

However, to Muyoung, an equipment was no more than a tool to him .

A tool to kill someone and protect himself .

He didn’t need a will from a tool he was going to use .

‘Just follow . ’

The blood that was permeated into the armor became a medium in which Muyoung made his command .

A small will suddenly became greater .

All of a sudden, Muyoung’s will surpassed the image the Heart of the Phoenix gave .

The heart was the armor’s ego .

If it was a normal person, it would have tried to oppress the ego and comfort it .

However, Muyoung’s thoughts were different .

Equipment didn’t need a will .

Equipment shouldn’t have a will .

Ego was an authority only given to the user of the equipment .

How the equipment was going to be used was dependent on the user .

Even more, it already showed its teeth .

Muyoung burned the ego the armor had . He removed it .

Kyyyyyyyyyyyahhhhhhhhhhh!

Was it the Phoenix, or the Hedley’s Kow?

The armor screamed it’s death throes .

Muyoung planted his strength in the place where its ego was .

It was his strength of death .

Since he had already come back from the dead, it was the strength only Muyoung could display!

It was at that moment .

The colour of the flames coming out from the armor changed to black .

A breastplate that looked as if a black fog was spurting out .

As he stood there and watched, the information about the armor popped out .

Name: Immortal King’s Breastplate

Rank: S+

Classification: Equippable type

Endurance: Not Destroyable

Effect: The one that doesn’t die . A breastplate that relishes the strength of the Immortal King .

* Only equippable by the user ‘Muyoung’ .

* Strength +15

* Fighting Aura +30

* Stamina +50

* Magic resistance +80

* Depending on the Fighting Aura, natural healing abilities increase (currently +154%)

** When you get 3 equipment with the strength of the Immortal King, all stats +50

** When you get 5 equipment with the strength of the Immortal King, you can use ‘Death Reversal’ once .

Muyoung continuously checked the information of the armor .

There was a big difference between an A rank and an S rank .

And from S rank, each existence of a + made that much greater a difference .

What Muyoung anticipated was A+++ rank to at most an S rank .

Even if he had the memorize of his past, an equipment that great that would be impossible to get unless he had incredible luck .

But, a S+ rank?

It even had the stats that suited its rank .

‘Hah…’

Muyoung’s whole body shivered lightly .

Only a very few guilds had this kind of equipment .

It was a reality for someone to not get even a glimpse unless they were a leader of a clan or a guild .

Top 10 of the humans, or special people like Wung Chunglin, would possess an item like that .

Since the weak would only get robbed of treasures .

If someone was to discover Muyoung right now, they would think of a way to try and kill him and take his armor .

There were a countless number of people who were stronger than Muyoung .

He just finished his first metamorphosis .

He needed to achieve at least the third metamorphosis in order to even place his food in the circle of strong people .

Fortunately, this was the Demon God’s Territory .

Also, only Muyoung could wear the armor .

It meant that he currently didn’t have to worry about his treasure .

‘It’s a set equipment . ’

And on top of that, there was even a set option .

When he put on 3 or 5 equipment, there was an added effect .

He was most curious about the ‘Death Reversal’ which occurred when he collected 5 equipment .

Since it was only effective once, it was most likely an ability to refuse death .

‘The power of revival was impossible even for a Saint who displayed a miracle through a wish . ’

To soundly revive a dead person .

It wasn’t possible .

Unless it was an undead .

The ‘wish’ that destroyed a few demon king forces was unable to revive a person .

If Muyoung’s prediction was correct, this was something anyone would be shocked by .

Having a life reserved, just by that it was more fascinating than anything else .

The moment this information was leaked; all the huge organizations would madly run for it .

On top of that, as monstrous stats were added, Muyoung felt as if his head cleared out .

He felt as though he had a slight taste of the next ‘wall’ .

Instantly, he opened his Status Viewer and found the reason why .

Stats ->

Strength 198 (115 + 83) Agility 162 (109 + 53)

Stamina 210 (108 + 102) Intelligence 116 (74 + 42)

Wisdom 112 (70 + 42) Fighting Aura 154 (66 + 88)

Magic Resistance 202 (54 + 148) Spirit Ability 101 (53 + 48)

His stamina passed 200 .

It was no way near in terms of pure stats, but due to different continuous effect and equipment effect, it has doubled .

Strength was also near the figure .

‘Like this, the supporting stats will surpass the pure stats . ’

He seemed pleased with the results .

But, he wasn’t planning to neglect his own development .

“The characteristic of the armor… completely changed . ”

As he turned his gaze, Bartas murmured as if he couldn’t believe his eyes .

Besides getting rid of the Phoenix’s ego, Muyoung filled it with his own colour .

Was this possible?

The monstrous strength the heart had was completely dyed .

The armor that was incomplete was now complete .

Just by Muyoung putting it on, it happened .

It was something he never thought of .

Oom, the ruler of dokkeabis .

Was that really all?

“What kind of magic did you use? To suppress the strength of a Phoenix!”

With a small smile, Muyoung looked at Bartas .

“Equipment are just tools . ”

Bartas hesitated .

He couldn’t agree .

He was a dwarf and the equipment that was born from his hands were all like his children .

The words of it just being a tool became a dagger and pierced through his heart .

However, Muyoung only smiled coldly .

If he was to empathize with tools that are supposed to become and move as his hands and feet, he would be swayed at that moment .

It was the reason why he erased the ego of the Phoenix .

“Bartas, the lord of the alliance . Is the Demon Dragon Lethal Cannon ready?”

Muyoung changed the subject .

Making the dwarves into warriors was near complete and he had earned the Immortal King’s Breastplate .

Now, all that was left was the Dark Dragon Barca .

To stop his attack .

He didn’t think that Barca wouldn’t be able to find this place .

It would definitely attack before the start of the ‘Devil’s Long Night’ .

Bartas led out a deep sigh and nodded his head .

“I tried to reduce the time for it to blast but I still need 60 seconds . It’s enough time for the dragon to notice and escape . ”

“30 seconds . ”

“What?”

“Reduce it to 30 seconds . For the duration of that time, I will definitely hold Barca back . ”

Muyoung boasted .

Barca wouldn’t invade the location right away .

However, it was at most 2 months .

Barca knew almost correctly of the dwarf’s location and was moving towards them .

After roaming around a few times, it would head north .

He needed to find a solution by then .

‘A second would determine the victory . ’

Muyoung’s eyes sunk deeply .

1 second . Even by a shorter time than that, the winner and loser would be determined .

Even if he used all his strength, he couldn’t be certain .

All his muscles were a bit contracted and then relaxed as he let out his tension .

The war against the Dark Dragon Barca had already started .
