Chapter 120

Card Info Name: Sprint Level: 1Lv Experience: 0 Grade: Rare Category: Skill Growth: Precocity (Large) Attribute: Wind Effect: Increases movement speed by 40% when equipped. Cost: 20 Seed: 3 slots

The fifth card was Sprint Rare. Its notable feature was that its effect was doubled compared to the Common-grade card he originally had. Jun-sang modified the component cards of the Deandallas Courier combo and then opened the last, sixth box. However, the sixth card was an Uncommon-grade Bind card he already possessed. He tried again, and this time a Healing Potion appeared. A Healing Potion was also a card that was never bad to have in abundance. Jun-sang smacked his lips and opened the Triple S-grade reward box.

Congratulations! You have obtained the special reward 'Elemental Dragon'. :'Elemental Dragon' is an offensive pet with one special skill. -The number of currently summonable pets is 3.

“Huh!” A dragon? Could he even command something like this as a pet?

“Why?”

“Hmm… nothing… don’t worry about it.”

Henes pouted her lips, seeming to realize Jun-sang was up to something, and turned her head back towards the TV. Jun-sang smiled wryly, stroked her head, and first opened the pet management screen.

Congratulations! :Elemental Dragon has been registered as a new pet. -The number of currently simultaneously summonable pets is three. -There are currently three summonable pets. 1. Pocket Squirrel [Details] 2. Henes Brea [Details] 3. Elemental Dragon [Details] -Press the corresponding number if you wish to summon a pet, or 'n' if you do not wish to summon (1/2/3/n)

Jun-sang confirmed that the Elemental Dragon was registered as a pet and opened its detailed information.

Pet Info Name: [None] Species: Elemental Dragon Level: 1Lv Experience: 0 Grade: Rare Category: Attack Growth: Late Bloomer (Large) Attribute: None Skills: Spirit Amplification 1Lv [Info] Affection: 50 Loyalty: 50 Card Slots: 3 [Info] Description: This small, cute dragon with a transparent body and thin, dragonfly-like wings is a rare species often called a fairy dragon. While the Elemental Dragon's main body is very weak and delicate, it should not be underestimated. This small, cute dragon has the ability to amplify the power of a spirit by merging with it. Spirit Amplification demonstrates greater power when the spirit's inherent power is stronger and the Spirit Amplification skill level is higher.

From the description alone, it seemed fundamentally different from the large, powerful dragons he knew from novels and movies. A small, cute dragon with a transparent body and thin, dragonfly-like wings. Seeing is believing. Since it was described as small, unlike if it were large, it seemed like a good idea to summon it here once. Jun-sang immediately issued the summon command.

Then, a faint light once again misted in the air, and a small creature appeared. Henes, who had been pouting and playing with the Firefly, quickly turned her head and looked at it as something appeared from the air with shimmering light. And then, she unconsciously gasped. “Ah!” A small dragon with a transparent body, as if it had jumped out of a painting, was flapping its fairy-like transparent wings and flying in the air.

“What’s this one?”

“An Elemental Dragon.”

“A dragon?”

“I don’t know for sure, but that’s what it says.”

“Wow…”

Henes reached out her hand towards the Elemental Dragon, just as she had to the Firefly. But the Elemental Dragon avoided her hand and hid behind Jun-sang’s head.

“Tch…” Jun-sang inwardly chuckled at Henes’s disappointed look and pouting lips, then instructed the Elemental Dragon through the interface to come back in front of him. The Elemental Dragon flapped its small wings and reappeared before Jun-sang’s eyes.

Jun-sang decided to test out Spirit Amplification first. The target was the already summoned Firefly. When he executed the command and specified the target, the Elemental Dragon and the Firefly faced each other, spun around in the air, and then merged into one. Then, the Elemental Dragon‘s body, which had originally emitted a faint light, began to glow, enveloped in a bright light, just like a Firefly.

“W-what just happened?”

“It merged with the Firefly.”

“That’s possible?”

“It seems to be its special ability.”

He also wanted to test its attack power, but it was difficult to do so in a hotel room, so he decided to postpone it for another time. Henes reached out her hand towards the Elemental Dragon again, but this small, cute dragon seemed unfamiliar with human hands and quickly evaded her touch and fled.

“Tsk…” Eventually, after a few more attempts, Henes sighed disappointedly and turned back towards the TV. Jun-sang stroked Henes’s head and this time opened the Savior-grade reward box.

Card Info Name: Strike (H) Level: 1Lv Experience: 0 Grade: Hero Category: Skill Growth: Precocity (Maximum) Attribute: Earth Effect: 1. Gathers power to deliver a powerful blow. (5-stage charge, Cooldown: 5 seconds) 2. Stagger duration reduced by 40%. 3. Walking is possible even in charge state. 4. Upon activation, an area-of-effect stun occurs for enemies within a 10-meter radius. (Base duration 2 seconds, stackable) Cost: 40 Seed: 5 slots

Finally, the third Hero card appeared. It was Strike. Compared to the Super Rare-grade Strike he used previously, the cooldown was halved, and the stagger duration reduction effect was doubled. Plus, there was an additional effect: an area-of-effect stun for enemies within a ten-meter radius upon Strike activation! Jun-sang nodded with satisfaction, changed the configuration of his Martial Artist combo, and then opened the last remaining special mission reward box.

Card Info Name: Maul Level: 1Lv Experience: 0 Grade: Hero Category: Skill Growth: Precocity (Maximum) Attribute: None Effect: 1. Bites the target enemy, inflicting a bite wound. 2. Basic attack power increased by 20%. 3. Attack speed increased by 20%. 4. Grants a life absorption effect when drinking the opponent's bodily fluids. Cost: 20 Seed: 5 slots

“…” Jun-sang unconsciously covered his forehead. But indifferently, as the Hero-grade Maul card appeared, messages began to flood his vision again. Jun-sang opened the new message.

Congratulations! :Combo cards can now be combined. -The currently combinable combo card is as follows: 1. Returned Mad Dog [View Details] -Press the corresponding number if you wish to combine the combo card, or 'n' if you do not wish to combine (1/n)

He had a feeling this would happen. Jun-sang first checked the detailed information.

Returned Mad Dog -The legendary mad dog of Harias! He has returned! Blood-stained, dark red fangs are a symbol of invincibility and a myth of terror. Hail! The true mad dog has returned! [Combination Details] Maul, Two-hit Combo, Frenzy, Bloodbath, Bloodbath (Three or more Hero-grade cards) -Effect: 1. Additional attack speed increased by 200% during 'Maul'. 2. Additional attack power increased by 200% during 'Maul'. 3. Additional fear inducement chance increased by 45% during 'Maul'. 4. Life absorption increased by 20% during 'Maul'. 5. 'Mad Dog's Dignity' can be activated.

“…” It was truly a feast of effects that made one exclaim “astounding.” It felt like this was what a Hero-grade combo card was supposed to be. But of all things, the first Hero combo he got was Mad Dog… Jun-sang felt as if his very purpose was being questioned. And Mad Dog’s Dignity? Jun-sang sighed deeply and checked the effect.

Mad Dog's Dignity: It's best to avoid a mad dog. -The moment they lay eyes on you, beings lower in level than the user will feel an intense urge to flee. -This effect is further maximized when the Maul skill is activated.

“…” Jun-sang unconsciously covered his face.

“What’s wrong?”

“No… it’s nothing.”

“…”

Jun-sang sighed heavily and checked the next message.

Congratulations! :You have successfully completed the 'Returned Mad Dog' combination for the first time! -Celebrating your achievement, you are granted the title 'True Mad Dog'. [Click here to view detailed title information.]

This was a title he somehow didn’t want to check the details of.

[True Mad Dog] :A title granted to the first person to successfully combine 'Returned Mad Dog'. -Effect: Additional fear inducement chance increased by 10%. -The effect of the title is automatically applied upon acquisition.

His additional fear chance had increased again. Jun-sang carefully calculated his current fear inducement chance. The Bloodbath Hero card was 45%. The Returned Mad Dog combo was another 45%. The fear inducement effect of the Mad Dog-related title was 30%, which was doubled due to the Claw effect, making it 60%. And the fear inducement effect of the Berserker title was 5%. In total, if he used the Returned Mad Dog combo, his fear inducement chance would be a whopping 155%. Even if he used the Bloodlord combo, it would be 150%. At this level, even enemies of the same rank would find it extremely difficult to escape fear inducement. He didn’t like the title or combo names, but he couldn’t deny the effects.

“Whew…” Jun-sang let out a light sigh and checked the next message.

Congratulations! :You have completed a Hero-grade combo card for the first time! -Celebrating your achievement, you are granted the title 'True Hero'. [Click here to view detailed title information.]

He didn’t remember anything like this happening when he achieved a Rare-grade combo… It was hard to believe someone had achieved a Rare-grade combo before him, so perhaps this was a special privilege that only applied from Hero combos onwards.

[True Hero] :A title granted to the first person to complete a Hero-grade combo card. -Effect: The 'Indomitable' trait is granted to the user. -The effect of the title is automatically applied upon acquisition.

Indomitable? It was difficult to understand the content from this single short word, so Jun-sang checked the detailed information.

Indomitable: The true terror of a hero is an indomitable will that rises again even after falling. -A being with this trait can revive once while maintaining minimal vitality, even if they suffer fatal damage. -Reactivation is possible only after one month has passed since activation.

“Huh!” Jun-sang was startled. A trait that allowed him to revive even after dying! Was even something like this possible? Although the description was complex, in summary, it was like being granted an extra life. Although there was a one-month reactivation period, it was undeniably a more incredible reward than anything he had received so far. Of course, he couldn’t just rely on this, but it was definitely an invaluable last hidden card.

Jun-sang nodded and drew the last remaining random card.

Card Info Name: Leap Level: 1Lv Experience: 0 Grade: Rare Category: Skill Growth: Late Bloomer (Medium) Attribute: None Effect: Increases leap power by 40% when equipped. Cost: 20 Seed: 3 slots

The random card he drew was Leap Rare. Jun-sang finished organizing his rewards by changing the composition of his Courier combo.
