Chapter 207 (1/2)

They hadn’t even shown a glimpse of themselves when the god and demon were fighting. They only appeared now that it seemed like things were over.

And they didn’t look like low ranked Guardians.

Yvlke and Lupi were there, and Yeon-woo could also recognize the other four from the diary. They were part of the 12 Zodiacs. They were the highest Guardians.

Yvlke shook his head at the stage that had become a wasteland from the light and darkness.

“Really. It can’t get worse than this. We’ll only be scolded by our higher-ups.”

The Guardians all sighed. A few of them crossed their arms and cursed. Since they had to keep the stages well maintained, things like this broke their backs.

Also, it was uncountable how many players had been sacrificed from this. They couldn’t even get an estimate.

However, Yvlke was just smiling wildly, teeth bared. Though he said this was a nuisance, he acted like he was amused.

“Restore.”

Then, he adjusted his monocle and shouted the command word. It was a system call for only the highest leveled Guardians.

Chachachak—

Like a cassette was being rewinded, the forest quickly restored itself.

The dust and ash that had been spread around went back to where they should go, filling up the holes. The color turned back to brown, and the trees stood again. Even the fruits that were gone were regrowing.

Restoring the stage with the saved data looked interesting even to Yeon-woo. It was like the power of a god.

However, there was a limit to this as well. Although the stage could be restored, the lives of the players and the damage couldn’t.

Just how many players had died from this? And how many clans had been damaged from this? The Guardians all rubbed their temples. They all began to move to restore where Agares’s vestige was still left.

And meanwhile.

Yvlke slowly approached Yeon-woo and put his adorable hand on Yeon-woo’s head.

After Yeon-woo checked that the Guardians arrived, he had been wandering around the brink of death.

He had used the Demon’s Blessing to its limit, so it was quickly spreading like poison. The Demonic Dragon was amazing because it could balance between the two blessings. If this balance was tilted in the slightest, it was extremely dangerous.

Because of that, as his Demon’s Blessing declined, his body was destroyed, and his power quickly disappeared. As his body returned to a normal human’s, the destruction was happening rapidly.

The only silver lining was that Yeon-woo’s consciousness and physical body were separated as much as possible with Time Difference.

If even that wasn’t possible, his body would’ve already been melted by the Devil Poison. However, he was still in a critical situation as his consciousness was becoming messed up.

Yeon-woo even tried to control the Demon’s Blessing that was eating up at him.

Although the Demon’s Blessing that was taken from Agares was only a bit, it was equivalent to the power of a lower-level demon.

With this, the Philosopher’s Stone could be completed. No, that wasn’t even important to Yeon-woo right now. He wanted to gather it all in one place with the thought of being able to treat Sesha.

But these were all things that were only possible when his condition was normal, with his stamina completely drained right now, that was impossible.

Yvlke had realized Yeon-woo’s condition right away and shook his head, thinking Yeon-woo really was something.

“Ohyohyohyohyo. You’re the second person to trouble me like this since the Tower was created. Shall we calculate the rewards first?”

[All trials have been completed.]

[The calculation is beginning.]

[Karma is being added.]

[You have achieved an outstanding accomplishment. Would you like to put your name on the hall of fame?]

[You have refused to register your name.]

[But even if…..]

…..

The messages that appeared every time he cleared a stage quickly flew up, and his total Karma with the amount he had earned from the 23rd floor popped up.

Yvlke’s eyes widened in astonishment. He knew that Yeon-woo hadn’t used his Karma since the 11th floor, but this was an astronomical number that a player on the lower floor couldn’t have.

But Yvlke just lifted a corner of his mouth. This much would be enough for Yeon-woo’s reward.

“It’s a bit of a shame it’s being used like this. But it won’t be bad for you either.”

According to the need, the Guardians had the ability to forcibly give a player a reward that fit them. It didn’t happen often because it could be considered overstepping their boundaries, but Yvlke didn’t care.

Chrrrk—

The total Karma started to disappear at a quick rate. At the same time, a light started to come from Yvlke’s hand, which was still on Yeon-woo’s head, and it was absorbed into him.

The Demon’s Blessing that was about to swallow Yeon-woo any moment suddenly settled down. Then, the powerless Dragon’s Blessing came to life again and the balance was fixed.

As the dark dragon scales regained their color, they shined clearly like sapphires. His injury was fixed, and his skin became clean. Only the blood around his mouth showed that he had been hurt from Devil Poison.

“Hah…..!”

Yeon-woo gasped as he woke up. Something dark came out from his mouth and scattered into the air.

He regained his strength, but his mentality hadn’t been completely healed, so he was tired.

“Drink this too.”

Yvlke tossed the thing that came from Yeon-woo’s remaining Karma.

It was a crystal bottle about the size of a hand with a clear blue liquid sloshing inside of it.

Yeon-woo gulped it down without any hesitation. A refreshing feeling spread throughout his entire body. His fatigue evaporated.

“What you just drank is an elixir called Nectar. It’s something that even the highest Guardians can’t get easily, so actually, you lacked some Karma. Well, we can just say the rest of it was a freebie. Ohyohyohyo.”

Only then was Yeon-woo able to catch his breath.

He checked the bump that was on his solar plexus.

[Agares’s Devil Core]

Category: Jewel

Rank: S~??? (Unable to be determined)

Summary: The form of the Grand Demon Duke Agares’s vestige (Demon’s Blessing). It wasn’t sturdily made, so it can become loose anytime.

Yvlke had made the Demon’s Blessing into a jewel with the Karma that Yeon-woo had.

Normally, it would’ve been impossible, but the Karma that Yeon-woo had earned until now was astronomical, and Yvlke had specially interfered in it as one of the highest Guardians.
