The Support Ate it All - Chapter 463
Chapter 463: The Fathers Are Leaving Now
Originally, the excited atmosphere would have continued for a while after the end of the competition.
However, that atmosphere disappeared in an instant as one piece of news flew in.
– The dragons have appeared at the front!
If we go into a little more detail, it was like this.
The red and blue dragons flew into the sky above the fortress at the front without any warning or sign.
And then they leisurely disappeared, pouring out large-scale magic and breath.
Thanks to the defensive facilities and magic of the front, the damage was not that great.
However, the fact that the dragons, who had been quiet for quite a long time, had resumed their activities was a great threat to mankind in itself.
‘Did the exhaustion somehow become a trigger?’
They might have made a decision after hearing the news, or the witches might have pressured them.
As they are both hostile to humans, they must be bound by some kind of common interest, but so far, only the ground dragons have suffered unilateral damage.
It is clear that they will start moving around sooner or later, but I don’t expect a huge war to break out right away.
‘They’re not ready on that side either.’
According to the King of the Dead Dragon and the president of the Comet Group, it has been less than a year since the notification message was printed.
Most of the powerful people will be running to break through the wall, so they won’t show up on the battlefield for the time being.
‘Of course, it’s not something to be optimistic about.’
‘For the time being’ could be next year or the year after, but it could also be next month or next week.
Moreover, the situation where the fuse has already been lit by the dragons’ preemptive attack.
In the future, news of heroes dying, dragons being killed, fortresses collapsing, and sects being destroyed will continue to be heard, and someday a war will surely break out.
‘We need to be prepared before that.’
We need to become stronger to protect world peace.
I went into the inventory with that in mind.
The first is the elixir.
The things I received from the Great Lord of the Dark Shadow and Geom-hoo were as follows:
[Summoning Elixir (B)]*2
[Millennium Water Five (A)]
[Ten Thousand Year Old Ginseng and Three (S)]
These were divided into five parts and distributed to Go Hyeon-woo, Seo Ye-rin, Dang Gyu-young, and Hong Yeon-hwa.
Song Cheon-hye was excluded because I haven’t built up much trust with her yet.
The reason I distributed it instead of monopolizing it myself was more for efficiency than anything else.
‘The effect of the elixir decreases if you take it multiple times.’
The summoning elixir is obviously two, and the water five and ginseng and three are so big that they have to be taken several times.
Then the efficiency of ginseng and three will gradually decrease from S to A, B, and so on, but I judged that it would be better to raise the overall core level.
It’s not like it’s going to work if only I get stronger.
‘And there’s something that comes back as much as you give.’
I’ll be going through a lot of dungeons with them in the future, so I just need to ask for a share of random boxes or hidden pieces as much as the value of the elixir.
Meanwhile, Hong Yeon-hwa paid a big price early on, and Hong Yeom-baek must have noticed that her mana had increased a lot, so he called me out to the Ruby Magic Tower.
The thing I received was [Rank Up (B)], one of the top 4 prizes.
It’s better for me because it’s harder to get that.
Even though I divided the elixirs into five parts, I gained a lot of mana because the rank was so high.
To put it in numbers, it’s about 95% of the A-rank core.
I was originally expecting it around the end of my first year, but it was brought forward considerably.
‘Next is the rank up.’
Two, one from the duel with Song Cheon-gi and one from Hong Ye-hwa as a reward for the elixir.
I had already decided how to use them.
[Using ‘Rank Up (B)’.]
[The rank of ‘Time Division’ increases. (B→A)]
[Division ratio: 20%]
[Reuse waiting time reduced by 5%→15%]
[Using ‘Rank Up (B)’.]
[The rank of ‘Amplification’ increases. (B→A)]
[Duration 15 minutes→30 minutes]
[Reuse waiting time 50 minutes→30 minutes]
The stats increased significantly as befitting an A-rank.
Since the efficiency of time division has increased, I will be able to use asceticism more often.
The duration and cooldown of Amplification have been set to be the same, which means that I can always amplify one skill/trait.
That’s when the octopus legs aren’t linked, though.
With this, I’ve almost used up everything I’ve earned recently.
It’s time to decide on the direction for the future.
‘I need to improve my defense.’
Especially my defense against area-of-effect attacks.
No matter how good my control is, it’s impossible to evade things like the giant [Corpse Explosion] cast by the Witch of Death or the [Drain Tower] of the Witch of Exhaustion.
I have no choice but to get out of the range itself or endure it within the range.
In addition, some dungeons have very harsh environments, and if you don’t have sufficient defensive measures, you will take damage as soon as you enter.
I haven’t gone into it yet, but there are hidden pieces that can only be obtained in such places, so I’ll have to Strategyit someday.
Anyway, I need to increase my defense.
Fortunately, the foundation is already in place.
‘I have the Wise Armor and the Wind Barrier.’
All that’s left is the last third piece.
Once I master this and get the ranks to be roughly the same, I’ll be able to complete the combination.
And the place to get that skill is, of course,
‘The dungeon.’
It’s time to go down again.
* * *
In the sudden emergency, most of the parents began to prepare to leave earlier than scheduled.
This is because there is no guarantee that the dragons will only appear at the forefront.
The next target could be the magic towers, companies, or sects to which they belong, so as executives or executives, they must protect the center.
However, before returning, the parents all gathered near the dungeon.
A low hill that forms a dungeon.
Unlike usual, a huge magic circle was drawn there.
It’s so big that you can see it even from a distance, and it’s densely packed with complex formulas.
‘Somehow the parents are of a high level.’
Looking at it now, it seems that they had sent invitations to those who could contribute to that magic.
Soon, they followed the guidance of the faculty members and took their places in the elements of the giant magic circle.
And they began to chant the spell according to the signal.
– Woo-woong—
The resonance sounds like an echo throughout the dungeon island.
The giant magic circle also gradually glowed brighter, and later, the upper part of the dungeon was completely covered with light and became invisible.
Even after that, the magic chant continued for a long time, and the onlookers watching it turned their heads away one by one because their eyes hurt.
How much time passed like that,
– Phew—!
The giant magic circle resonated loudly one last time, and all the light it emitted was sucked into the dungeon.
Most of the onlookers were just curious, but I could guess what had happened.
‘I’ve put a buff on it.’
It’s a buff that targets all dungeons in the dungeon and lasts for more than a week.
The effect will probably be considerable.
I’ll announce the details in the strategy class.
Perhaps this was the last schedule, and the parents boarded the train leaving the dungeon island that day.
I also saw them off at the platform.
Anjeongmi handed a booklet that said to Seoyein and repeated the request.
“Youmustreaditandwriteit.”
TheHyesungGroupalsosaidtheydevelopedanewpersonalweapon,butit’saslightlydifferenttypeofgun,sothat’swhythey’redoingthis.
Seoyein dryly nodded her head and stuffed the manual into her pocket.
Whether or not she’ll actually read it remains to be seen.
Following, An Jung-mi bowed to me.
“Mr. Kim Ho, I ask for your continued support in the future.”
“Yes, I’ll contact you. I’ll talk to her about that too.”
“Thank you.”
Only then did An Jung-mi board the train with a relieved expression.
On oneside,Dang Gyu-young and Dang Moon-hyung were standing, and as theynoticedmygaze,theyquicklyapproached,wavingtheirhands.
Iguess they’re going to make me say goodbye before the farewell is over.
So I approached and stood next to Dang Gyu-young.
“Please be careful when you go in, Uncle.”
“Yes, both of you stay healthy.”
“I’ll visit you during winter break.”
“Looking forward to it.”
Uncle Kyu smiled softly and turned away.
As I watched him, Dang Gyu-young whispered in my ear.
“They’re sending me to the main house alone like this? They’re going to be very disappointed.”
“For some reason, I feel like I’m cleaning up after what my older sister did.”
“Of course you have to clean up and take responsibility. She left an indelible mark on my body.”
“Why is the conversation going that way? Your choice of words is a bit strange.”
“To be honest, it’s true. She stamped me. I can’t marry anyone else now.”
As we were struggling over the issue of visiting the main house and the seal, a loud shout came from somewhere.
“Daughter-!”
“Dad! Be quiet even when you’re leaving!”
Of course, the owner of the shout was Hong Yeom-baek.
He continued to say what he wanted to say without even blinking at the protests of his sisters, Hong Ye-hwa and Hong Yeon-hwa.
“I’m sorry! Give me a hug before you go-!”
“No!”
The Hong sisters recoiled in disgust, and Hong Yeom-baek looked a little disappointed and regretful.
Then, when I approached him, he smiled.
“You!”
“Please be careful when you go in.”
“Yes, next spring.”
A hand as big as a pot lid patted my shoulder.
On the other side, I could see Mr. Song, Song Cheon-gi, and Song Cheon-hye.
Even from a distance, the atmosphere was very businesslike and stiff.
A family relationship that has become distant cannot become close overnight.
I just hope they do well.
“……”
While that was happening, Song Cheon-ho glanced at me.
If I got close, Song Cheon-hye would know that I was on good terms with the Song family, so I just exchanged glances with him.
The glances contained something like this.
‘Please take care of Cheon-hye.’
‘Leave it to me.’
Following his father, Geom-hoo also passed by and quickly cursed at me with his lips.
‘You bastard, Kim Ho-chae, you bastard.’
On the other hand, I still had a strong elixir in my dantian thanks to the S-rank elixir, so I bowed deeply with a heart full of gratitude.
Geom-hoo crumpled his face and got on the train.
Soon, only the students remained on the platform, and the train quickly began to move away.
We turned our backs, watching the train that quickly became a dot.
