Chapter 58 (1/2)
Shuaak!
The white glow faded away as Soo Hyuk closed the book. His wisdom didn’t rise this time. Soo Hyuk put aside the now dull book and checked the time.
‘It’s 2 pm. They should be ready by now.’
He was thinking about the materials Pavian had promised, as a day had already passed since he had requested for the materials.
‘Then should I get going?’
Soo Hyuk stood up from his seat and came out of the library after returning the books. He then headed towards the Tower of Poison while checking his skill quests.

[Paralysis Extract : 0 / 10 ]
[Quest Reward: Skill – Poison Fog]
All the skill quests from the Door of Poison were separated into a separate category like the fire skill quests. As he stared at the skill quests, he determined.
‘The ones I can’t complete right now are…’
Not all quests needed various materials and gold to complete. Instead, they required specific achievements like hunting a particular monster.
‘These three.’

Soo Hyuk shook his head after he checked the three quests. The conditions were almost impossible!
‘How much do I have to level up to complete them?’
The conditions for the skill ‘Encroach’, required him to hunt numerous zombies, dullahan and liches. Although it would take a long time, it was barely doable, since he was someone who had hunted 10,000 trolls. But the story was different if it was the Black Dragon or the Hydra. It was almost impossible to raid black dragons and hydras alone, even if his level was over 200 or perhaps even more.
Soo Hyuk moved all the quests that he could complete now into the first section on his skill window. It was to clean it so that he could navigate more easily. And so, Soo Hyuk left the three hardest skill quests in the third section and eventually arrived at the Tower of Poison.
Tap. Tap.
“Soo Hyuk-nim is here.”
As usual, the women guarding the fourth floor announced his arrival and waited for Pavian’s reply. However, Pavian’s reply was different from what they expected.
“Oh? Wait a minute, I’ll go out.”
After a few seconds, the door was opened and Pavian strode out of his room.
“Now, shall we go?”
Pavian said to Soo Hyuk.
“…?”
Soo Hyuk couldn’t understand his words. Go where exactly? Then, Pavian, who had read his thoughts, continued.
“We can’t test magic in my room, especially with all the materials.
“Ah, yes.”
Soo Hyuk replied to Pavian’s words. Then Pavian took the lead and started walking while Soo Hyuk hurriedly followed after him. And so, Soo Hyuk and Pavian kept climbing down stairs until Pavian stopped at the 3rd underground floor.
‘Hmm? Where is it?’
The 3rd underground floor was shaped similarly to a massive hall, and it was completely empty. Soo Hyuk couldn’t find the materials anywhere despite looking around everywhere around the hall.
“Here.”
At that moment.
”This has everything you need.”
Pavian said while holding out a pouch.
“In here?”
“Hmm.”
Soo Hyuk received the pouch from Pavian.
[You have obtained Pavian’s Pouch.]
A message then appeared and Soo Hyuk immediately checked the item information.
[<Hero>Pavian’s Pouch]
You will receive various items when the pouch is used.
‘It’s a consumable.’
He had thought that it would be a special item, but it was just a consumable. However, it wasn’t anything major, so he immediately decided to use it. As a result, numerous system messages started appearing in his vision.
[You have obtained 200 Grade 5 Mana Stones.]
[You have obtained 350 Grade 4 Mana Stones.]
[…]
Soo Hyuk stared blankly at the suuden messages, before recovering and opened his quest window. All the skill quests in the first section had their ‘COMPLETE’ buttons glowing. Staring at them with satisfaction, Soo Hyuk started completing the skills quests.
[You have completed Skill Quest – Acid Spray.]
[You have learned Skill – Acid Spray.]
[You have completed Skill Quest – Poison Fog.]
[You have obtained Skill – Poison Fog.]
[…]
“Now, try casting a poison spell.”
