I Obtained a Mythic Item

Chapter 220

Episode 220 Idun’s Golden Apple (3)

“Finally... It has sprouted...!!”

The last day of the ordeal.

Jaehyun cheered as he finally saw the sprouted seeds.

A dainty-sized bud sticking out its head greeted Jaehyun.

“It took a very long time. Really.......”

No matter how different the time goes outside and here in the mist garden, it was a long journey of 30 days.

Jaehyun finally succeeded in sprouting after all his hard work. It’s a situation he can’t help but feel overwhelmed by.

However, Jaehyun quickly came to his senses.

You have just taken the first step. The ordeal was not over.

‘At most, I only had 30 days to sprout.’

It would take much longer to properly grow an apple tree. He still has a long way to go.

“But it is true that there is hope. Ordeal penalty restart. If we start over, we’ll be able to get here a little faster.”

Jaehyun sighed and clenched his fists.

“Looks like there’s some progress? congratulations!”

When Jaehyun was distracted, he suddenly heard Idun’s voice from behind.

Suddenly, with her hands behind her back, she saw the seed that Jaehyun had grown. Idun smiled and smiled.

She squatted down on the floor and rested her chin lightly.

Jaehyun responded with a calm expression.

“It is true that progress has been made... but it is only starch that has sprouted a new sprout. It is rather a problem that I have only been able to do this for 30 days.”

“No, you did well enough.”

“......yes?”

Jaehyun tilted his head at Idun’s resolute words.

I don’t think he was originally such a warm character, but what is it all of a sudden?

It was at that time when Jaehyun looked at her and questioned her.

Idun straightened his knees again and stood up from his seat.

“Do you think you have failed the ordeal now?”

“So what...”

Jaehyun scratched his head and confessed honestly.

“It is a test that requires growing trees for 30 days, but I only sprouted on the last day. The odds of success are zero.”

“If this were a normal tree, it would be.”

“......What is that......”

Jaehyun tried to ask back with a slightly puzzled expression.

Deed Deed Deed!

Suddenly there was a vibration from the bottom of the field, and the seeds began to change.

The sprouts sprouted from the seeds Jaehyun planted grew rapidly and began to grow in size.

* * *

Deed deed!

The tree was growing at a speed far beyond common sense that Jaehyun knew.

Even bamboo, which is known to grow several tens of centimeters a day, was not at this level.

‘What is this!’

Jaehyun blankly watched the growing tree with a shocked face.

Suddenly, the sprout became a small seedling, and it didn’t take long to grow to Jae-hyeon’s waist. However, it did not stop there and the tree continued to grow.

As Jaehyun looked around with a puzzled face, he suddenly heard Idun talking.

“The first seed I gave you. It was the seed of a diseased golden apple tree. I’m sorry, but I also wanted to test you.”

“...seeds of diseased trees?”

“The seeds of a diseased golden apple tree do not germinate easily and do not consume a lot of water.

Its biggest characteristic is that it does not grow without the will and conviction of the person who planted it.”

“It’s a will...”

“Yes, a will. A tree will not grow unless it has the will to sprout and the will not to give up.

It was an ordeal that was designed that way from the beginning.”

Idun turned and approached the growing golden apple tree.

Then he reached out and touched the branch.

Still a tender branch.

But she knew.

This means that he will soon grow up to become a lofty giant tree.

“The golden apple tree is a mysterious plant. It grows and bears fruit in 30 days, but it does not sprout during the 29 days it is planted in the ground.”

“Doesn’t it sprout?”

When Jaehyun asked as if he was dumbfounded, Idun chuckled.

“Probably by now, all of Niflheim’s monsters would have gathered! I don’t know, but there must be hundreds of them.”

“......what?”

In an instant, Jae-hyeon forgot even about his father-in-law and asked back.

Idun crossed his arms and nodded.

“As expected, the end of the ordeal is the battle! Among them, watching the Great War is the best!

Oh well, I’ll get out of the way soon. It will get in the way of the battle!”

“Wait a minute...!”

Jaehyun stretched out his arms to grab Idun, but he couldn’t reach them. He gritted his teeth as he saw the vacancy of Idun, who had disappeared before he knew it.

“Idun...... I won’t leave you alone once the ordeal is over.”

Jaehyun took a deep breath.

Before he knew it, Poppy approached him and prepared for battle with him.

At first glance, the enemies surrounding the tree in all directions were about hundreds.

Krrrrrr!

All sorts of monsters, such as the demonic beast in the form of a plant that was heard and the troll he dealt with previously.

Jaehyun opened his magic and shouted.

“let’s go! Poppy, you protect the tree!”

Kreung!

Poppy responded to Jaehyun’s words and used the giantization skill.

Poppy, who had grown in size before he knew it, was excited and waggled his tail.

Meanwhile, the apple trees were growing at a rapid pace.

―There are still 12 hours left before the golden apple tree bears fruit.

“This battle won’t be easy.”

Having said that, Jaehyun’s expression wasn’t too bad.

He poured out his mana at once towards the flocking demon beasts.

To Jaehyun, who also fought Nidhogg, they are not just pyramids.

......Of course, there were too many of them.

―Active skill 《Poison Rain》.

The magic power that spreads out from Jaehyun was scattered in the sky and soon created a huge purple cloud.

Poison Lane.

It was literally a skill that poured out poison.

‘Of course, I’ll have to be careful not to touch the golden apple.’

Shaaaaaa!

The magic formed from Jaehyun’s body begins to spread, and soon it rushes into the air and casts a shadow over the monster.

A dark cloud that extends its momentum by obscuring the artificial sun.

Seeing this, Jaehyun smiled.

Now he is trying to use magic of attributes that he has never used in actual combat.

‘I didn’t know I would be able to use poison property magic.’

Jaehyun thought so with a faint smile on his face.

Up until now, I had been fighting a battle of overlapping deadly poison using Nidhogg’s fangs, so I didn’t have to use poison property magic directly.

It is common to use poison magic to grant an abnormal state of poisoning, and the power of the skill itself is not that great.

However, Jaehyun decided to use Poison Rain now.

The reason was simple.

A message coming soon.

―Due to the effect of the passive skill 《Venomous Dragon’s Sadism》, the poisoning status ailment is strengthened to the «Deadly Poison» status ailment.

―Applies the «Deadly Poison» status ailment to designated targets (multiple)!

―Enemies become poisoned (maximum stacking).

Jaehyun raised his eyebrows as he looked at hundreds of demonic beasts that had become deadly poison before he knew it.

Poppy also burned his fighting spirit, holding a white breath at the corner of his mouth.

Jaehyun took a step forward and activated the skill again.

―Active skill 《Formation of magic tools》 is activated.

―Artifact 《Nidhogg’s Fang (Myth)》 has been successfully created!

“Then, shall we test the new weapon?”

Jaehyun’s body leaned forward and soon his model disappeared from sight.

Then, one of the enemies in front is mercilessly cut down without knowing why.

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!

The Witchbeast, which was split into several pieces in an instant, died without even screaming.

Jaehyun put his strength into the dagger he was holding.

The sound of the system that came with it made the corners of his mouth rise again and again.

―Damage is increased by 50% due to the effect of the passive skill «Poison Dragon’s Sadism»!
