I Obtained a Mythic Item

Chapter 217

Episode 217 Magical Texture

―A new effect for the active skill 《Absolute Calculation》 is derived!

Jaehyun’s eyes widened at the system sound he heard.

New effects derived from absolute arithmetic?

‘Absolute arithmetic was already a sufficiently fraudulent skill...?’

Jaehyun scratched his head and turned his eyes to the message window that popped up.

In his opinion, the effect of absolute arithmetic was already ridiculous.

A skill that can break all magic with magical power?

It was something I couldn’t even put a price on. Where the hell is there a corner to strengthen a skill that already has such an effect?

However, the question of reproduction was immediately resolved.

―Displays updated skill information.

[Active Skill]

Name: Absolute Operation

Rating: EX

Stats: –

Understand and destroy the structure of magic operation.

*Only with magic whose structure is known, the ceremony can be dispelled without consuming mana.

1. Reverse the magic, transform it into a formula, and destroy it.

2. Magic that is destroyed by 《Absolute Calculation》 consumes different horsepower depending on the rank.

A line was added to the original skill description.

Jaehyun’s eyes widened when he saw this, and astonishment slowly poured out of his mouth.

‘It doesn’t consume magic...?’

I really couldn’t help but open my mouth. No matter how much the effect was applied only to skills that he knew the structure of, this was a great innovation.

You can nullify magic without spending magic.

Simply put, this meant that Jaehyun would not be harmed by any magic if he learned the formulas for all the magic that existed.

Even without consuming mana at all.

‘Of course, it’s impossible to learn all the arithmetic expressions... But anyway, it’s undeniable that it’s useful. It’s a huge effect.’

As Jaehyun nodded in satisfaction, he heard Nidhogg’s trembling voice.

[Really... did you cut my attack without knowing that it was magical?]

To that, Jaehyun had no choice but to give the same answer as before.

“......therefore. Do you want me to explain what it is?”

[Crazy guy.]

“No matter how much I hear the same thing twice, it hurts a bit.”

Hearing Nidhogg’s words, Jaehyun frowned.

However, Nidhogg seemed to have no intention of picking up words. It was because he didn’t quite understand what he had just seen.

What Jaehyun has done is beyond the category of genius. Perhaps it was only natural that Nidhogg reacted violently.

[Loki... How on earth did you choose such a guy as your adversary...]

Meanwhile.

At that time, Jaehyun’s ears heard a refreshing system sound.

―I succeeded in gaining recognition from Nidhogg.

―You have cleared the subquest 《Nidhogg’s Fang (Enhancement)》.

* * *

Nidhogg.

A legendary dragon that is said to have phenomenal power even among members of the Van Aesir Alliance.

He had lived a long time and had little experience meeting his match.

Unlike Fafnir, he was a dragon from birth. Inevitably, it was overwhelmingly stronger than the others.

Except for Loki, no one could guarantee victory in a one-on-one battle with him.

Thanks to that, he felt bored.

No matter who I fought, my heart never pounded, so it was understandable.

Loki, who was at least a match for himself, was also in a situation where he could not move due to the first Ragnarok.

It was frustrating for him.

10,000 years passed like that.

End of Hell in Nastrond. While protecting Hvergelmir, he saw countless rotten humans and fought them.

But it wasn’t pleasant at all.

To him, who was already on the 5th stage of divine liberation, human beings were more than just pyramids.

That’s how he lived his life with his sense of self-righteousness covered.

But just a moment ago, Nidhogg’s eyes flashed.

It is because the ability of the opponent was more than he thought.

As the dust cleared, I heard the sounds of Hella and Papi rushing towards Jaehyun.

Gyareung!

Poppy flapped her wings and flew into his arms, while Hella crossed her arms and looked Jaehyun up and down.

“Haha, I can’t believe what he did, but... Nidhogg is right.

As I said before, Jaehyun’s talent is at a level that is not inferior to God’s at all.”

“If you give it too much space, it will become a habit.”

Even Hella said so, but Jaehyun was not shaken.

Talent. Jaehyun was well aware of the false part of this sweet word.

‘Talent misleads many people. No matter how splendid you have, you have to polish it. Then it’s just a raw stone.’

It takes effort to bloom.

Jaehyun wasn’t the type to be swayed by the stories around him, and he had a personality that couldn’t be lazy on his own.

[Surprised... to react that way to my praise.]

Nidhogg said while looking at Jaehyun with interest.

Jaehyun turned his shoulder and looked up at him, probably feeling stiff from the battle earlier.

He had something to ask for.

“......It’s hard to wait.”

He smiled and put his hands in his pockets.

“Weapon strengthening. Won’t you?”

[......I forgot. ha ha ha! good. I’ll do it right away, so put the weapon on the floor for a while.]

At Nidhogg’s words, Jaehyun obediently put down Nidhogg’s fangs.

Nidhogg motioned for a moment, asking Jaehyun to step back.

When Jaehyun silently stepped back, he lightly raised his mana.

Tsutsutsutsutsu!

Along with the sound, the magic power that existed in the surrounding air rushed into the dagger.

Nidhogg’s fangs stay with enormous divinity, and the sword’s appearance slowly begins to change.

Jaehyun gulped and glared at him.

yet.

―Enhancement of the artifact «Nidhogg’s Fang» has been successful!

―The rank of 《Nidhogg’s Fang》 will be upgraded to 《Myth》!

The magical power surrounding the artifact on the floor dissipated, slowly revealing its interior.

The cloth was firmly attached to the hilt, and the black blade, which was originally black, had a mysterious blue light.

At its center, a purple crack radiated light like the eyes of a demon.

‘Just looking at it, it seems like it’s a high-grade item.’

Jaehyun thought so and saw the dagger rising from the floor.

Nidhogg’s fangs rose in the air and flew in front of Jaehyun before he knew it. Jaehyun stretched out his hand and lightly gripped the sword.

‘The length of the blade or the overall grip did not change significantly. Rather, it’s a good thing.’

If the form changes a lot, it will take time to adapt in many ways.

Jaehyun decided that the current structure was just right.

Its basic attack power increased by more than 1.5 times, and it was good in many ways because it could continue to be used where it had been used so far.

[Haha do you like it? I tried to strengthen the weapon one more level with my strength!]

Nidhogg said excitedly, arrogantly.

But then.

Jaehyun took a step forward, ignoring Nidhogg’s excited voice.

“But I mean.”

[hmm? What is it?]

“Don’t you think the reward is too small compared to the difficulty of the ordeal I took?”

[...What?]

It was the moment when Nidhogg was perplexed.

Jaehyun raised his mana and looked at Nidhogg with an expression that he didn’t understand.

The message that popped up then.

―You can learn new skills.

―Use one blank card.

―Passive skill 《Poison Dragon’s Sadism (Myth)》 has been registered in the second socket!

In an instant, Nidhogg, who had his skill stolen, burst out of his nose.

It was something he would only do when he was really upset.

“Because I am the one who takes care of my share.”

Jaehyun laughed.

“Then I’ll take it well.”
