Closed Beta That Only I Played-Chapter 30

Of course, this was a skill that required ice as the basis.

However, it seemed to be sufficiently connected to the Ice Field.

Given my Willpower and mana, I could use the Ice Field infinitely after the cooldown, so I reserved Ice Blast and started looking for something else.

Since I already found 3 AoE skills, I searched for a single skill this time.

-Level 2 Multiple Ice Arrow (Active, 1 skill point required,19,000 golden rings required.)

: Fires 3 Ice Arrows at enemies within 15 meters.

: Increases the striking range and damage and Ice Arrow by up to 7 shots, depending on Intellectual Power.

: Upgradeable to Level 3 and Level 5 Multiple Ice Arrow.

“Acquire Level 2 Ice Blast and Level 2 Multiple Ice Arrow.”

[You have chosen Level 2 Ice Blast and Level 2 Multiple Ice Arrow.

-A total of 2 skill points and 52,000 golden rings are required.

-Do you want to acquire 2 skills?]

“Yes.”

Shortly afterwards, I scrolled through the message for the first time, which announced that I had acquired Ice Blast and Multiple Ice Arrows. Then the first upgradeable skill list was shown.

‘I think I should keep the Ice Weapon with me.’

Originally, the Ice Weapon was on the top list of the skills for deletion.

However, the Ice Emperor’s Guardian Sword had been equipped with this Ice Weapon, and Level 3 at that, which was the maximum. According to the description attached to the Ice Emperor’s Guardian Sword, this weapon was supposed to be combined with the Ice Weapon acquired by the user.

So, it was possible that the Level 3 Ice Weapon would change to Level 6 Ice Weapon.

“Upgrade Ice Weapon...and Ice Ball and Ice Bolt.”

[Do you want to upgrade Level 1 Ice Weapon, Level 1 Ice Ball, and Level 1 Ice Bolt to Level 2?

-A total of 2,100 golden rings are required.] 𝑓𝔯𝑒e𝘸e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝚕.c૦𝙢

“Upgrade.”

There was nothing else I liked in other ice-type series at Level 2, so I tried to upgrade both Ice Ball and the Ice Bolt because even if I delete them later, 3,500 golden rings, which was 5 times 700 golden rings, would be enough to back them up. And I know that blindly upgrading things was not always good since I already experienced it during the first, second and third closed betas.

Upgrading the overall power, including damage and range, was accompanied by the increase in cooldown time for immediate reuse. So, it was important to mix them properly, otherwise I would bungle the games with endless cooldown times.

But even if I upgraded them to Level 2, I could still use them just like Level 1skills because of my Willpower that had a certain influence on the cooldown time. After making my decision, I turned from the tower in the central square.

***

It had been 23 hours since I challenged the +9 Light Stick for beginners, starting with 8.

I now stood in front of the blacksmith. Then a message I had already seen a few times rang.

[You have a 100-level only enhancement quest.

-Current Enhancement: 9.

-You have an opportunity to safely upgrade to a higher level.]

In the past I vaguely knew what it meant when they said they were itching to achieve Enhancement 9, but this time I felt it keenly. So, originally I would have put the +9 Light Stick for beginners in the red window for the event, but I didn’t do so this time because there was something I wanted to check first. I wanted to find the cooldown time needed or how many golden rings were required when I used the God of Enhancement for the Ice Emperor’s Guardian Sword, the Myth-grade item. So I put the sword in the original enhancement window rather than the red enhancement window for the event and opened my mouth.

‘Activate the God of Enhancement.’

[God of Enhancement has been activated.

-100% success rate.

-Enhancement target: +0 Ice Emperor’s Guardian Sword.

-Additional requirement for attempting enhancement :850,000 golden rings

-Cooldown time generated upon enhancement success: 14 days]

14 days with 850,000 golden rings. I thought that it was rather long to go from 0 to 1 enhancement with the required golden rings and cooldown time because the item I was trying to enhance was a Myth-grade item, not ‘Precious’ or ‘Legend’ grade, with Safety Enhancement of 0.

Anyway, as soon as I finished checking the golden rings and cooldown required for the first enhancement with my eyes, I removed the Ice Emperor’s Guardian Sword from the enhancement window and put the +9 Light Stick for beginners into the red enhancement window for the event.

‘Activate the God of Enhancement.’

[God of Enhancement has been activated.

-100% success rate.

-Enhancement target: +9 Light Stick for beginners.

-Additional requirement for enhancement: 175,000 golden rings, 1,370,000 EXP.

-Cooldown time generated upon enhancement success: 16 hours.]

“?”

At that moment I thought the number was not correct because previously 17 hours was needed to move from Enhancement 7 to 8 with about 240,000 golden rings. But this time the required number of golden rings as well as the cooldown time to go to 9 from 8 decreased instead.

Of course, other conditions were created in addition to the existing ones, such as 1.37 million EXP.

I smiled before I knew it because it was time for me to devote myself to hunting. Since I learned new skills, it was really stressful for me to be forcibly banned from hunting.

Even so, it would be very stupid if I gave up here because I had already achieved Enhancement 9, and if I gave up, I would be forfeiting of a considerable number of EXP, given my Level 100 and EXP of 1.37 million.

So, I immediately leveled down. Even if I did, I would stay back at Level 100 because of the Level 100-only Enhancement quest. But I felt good about it anyway because I could freely hunt now. Besides, the cooldown was only 16 hours.

‘By the way, when I reach Level 101, the quest would allegedly be forcibly closed. Well, I wonder if it also affects my level down.”

No matter how hard I thought about it, I could not come up with any educated guess.

So I stopped for a moment. After logging out, I accessed the ‘Revival Legend’ homepage and googled the possible creation of quests due to my deleveling. However, there wasn’t a single comment about deleveling. f𝐫𝑒𝗲𝙬𝒆𝚋𝐧૦𝘃𝗲l.c𝚘𝘮

Of course, I could understand it because there was little chance I would forcibly level down while proceeding with the enhancement quest, unless I deliberately leveled down. So, I reassessed the game and closed my eyes tightly, saying quietly, ‘Enhance.’

I don’t intend to stop here anyway. I also have no intention of neglecting the God of Enhancement and just rely on sheer luck for enhancement. So, I closed my eyes and activated the God of Enhancement and tried to enhance.

Then a message rang in no time.

[You have achieved the Level 100 only Enhancement Quest 10.

-Congratulations. You have succeeded in enhancement by two digits.

-The special bonus given according to the enhancement level has been upgraded.]

[In order to activate the God of Enhancement trait, you must complete 16 hours of cooldown time.]

Then another message rang.

[Your Level has decreased by 3 with a decrease of 1.37 million EXP.]

As soon as the message rang, I opened the quest window.

“Check the quest window.”

[Current quest (1)

-Level 100 only Enhancement Quest. (In progress.)]

‘Whew!’

Anyway, I had no choice but to try to enhance now.

So, I went ahead and did it, but I was a bit afraid that my Level 100 only Enhancement Quest would disappear. In that case, I would have to start over to reach Level 100. Besides, I would have to choose another item instead of the 10+ Light Stick for beginners.

But I felt relieved after confirming the “In progress” message on the quest window.

Then I was thrilled with another feeling this time, namely the joy of hunting again.

I quickly left the blacksmith shop and ran straight to the Teleport Zone outside Kotum Castle.
