I Obtained a Mythic Item

he still didn’t know for certain how to use it, but it was a problem that would solve itself eventually.

‘There’s no need to rush things.’

After checking all of his new skills, JaeHyun decided to distribute his stat points.

“Hmm… since I’ll be a Magician, Strength isn’t a stat I really need.
I should keep Dexterity at least at the minimum for evasion, and Magic is key without a doubt.

……But the most important is, of course, Endurance.”

Endurance wasn’t a stat that raised attack power like Strength or Magic, but it slowed down the process of getting worn out when doing the same thing repeatedly.

When stacked first, the change would be felt for certain when leveling up.

JaeHyun thought for a second.
Then he added 2 to Dexterity, 5 to Magic, and the remaining to Endurance.

Thanks to that, at just Level 7, his Endurance was already 19.

Even if he entered Millaes right now, he would be part of the upper ranks.

“I’ve taken care of the pressing concerns first.
Next is which skill to familiarize myself with……”

JaeHyun looked at the blank card he took out of his inventory and was locked in thought.

“I don’t need an attack skill right away since I have 《 Lightning Chain 》.
Besides, if I copy a high-rank spell unreasonably, I wouldn’t be able to use it due to mana consumption.”

JaeHyun spoke as he spun the blank card.

“As expected, what I need the most is a healing spell.”

In the present year of 2020, the treatment of Magicians was way below that of Warriors.

But it was different for raiders who knew healing spells.

They received royal treatment wherever they went.

This was because even if they weren’t a raider, they could work in any medical field, so there was high preference for them.

‘If I start off with a healing spell, there’s no reason others would look down on me.
…….But—’

The most troublesome thing was that it wouldn’t be easy to meet an Awakened who possessed a healing spell.

Especially around the current JaeHyun, there were almost no Awakened.

In addition—

‘There wasn’t a choice with Jeong WooMin, but from now on, I have to use the blank cards as effectively as possible.
I don’t know how many cards the system will give, but…… it wouldn’t just give out plenty of such an item that could break the balance.’

《 Lightning Chain 》 was, of course, a good A-ranked skill.
But there was S-rank above that.
Placed in front of the fact that there was a level above it, using a blank card to copy an A-rank skill seemed a bit wasteful.

JaeHyun planned to use this blank card a little more effectively.

‘…but that’s easier said than done.’

Not to mention, he was supposed to not only find a healing raider, which are already hard to come across, and copy their skill — but also find a skill that could break the balance?

“Nothing in the world is that easy.
Damn.”

JaeHyun sighed as he fell into deep contemplation.

“Ah…… is there no solution?”

Vrrrrr…… Vrrrrr…

“Hmm? Who could it be?”

JaeHyun grabbed his vibrating smartphone and looked at the screen.

The sender was Kim YooJung.

JaeHyun’s expression stiffened for a moment.

“Kim YooJung……”

Kim YooJung was JaeHyun’s childhood friend.
Since they lived next to each other, they spent a lot of time together, and having enrolled in Millaes at the same time, they were the best of friends who worked towards becoming raiders together.

However—

JaeHyun put his hand against his head at the intense headache that followed.

His chest tightened with pain from deep within at the resurfacing of an old memory—

Kim YooJung who was covered in blood with her eyes just barely open — and JaeHyun at the side, who was the only one left alive.

It seemed that the trauma from that day still remained with him.

JaeHyun took deep breaths to calm himself.

‘It’s alright.
I can change it now.
No, I have to change it.’

Together with his firm decision, JaeHyun’s face relaxed.
As he was thinking, Kim YooJung’s messages continued.

“This girl’s still the same as ever.”

JaeHyun read the messages sent by Kim YooJung with a tiny, bitter smile.

<What are you doing now?

<

<

“Oh! That’s right!”

Reading the messages, color returned to JaeHyun’s face.

“There was this person.”

As JaeHyun smiled, a greedy glint appeared in his eyes.

One of the only 200 S-ranked raiders in the world — Saintess Yoo Sung-Eun.

JaeHyun grabbed his smartphone and quickly stood up from his seat.

“Mom! I’m going out for a second!”

“Okay.
Be careful not to come back too late!”

After receiving permission from Lee SeonHwa, JaeHyun came out of the house and quickly sent a reply to Kim YooJung.

>>I’ll be there soon.

“There’s no need to worry about this much distance.”

A brilliant light filled JaeHyun’s eyes.

He was thinking of copying the healing spell of Korea’s best healer, Yoo Sung-Eun — 

《 Sacrifice 》.

Vrrooom

A black van drove on the road.

The voice of Yoo Sung-Eun’s secretary and manager, Park SungJae, came from the driver’s seat.

“I’ll brief you on what’s left for today.
In a moment, there is an outdoor-stage encouragement lecture for raiders.
After that is the raid of a B-rank dungeon in Seongbuk-gu, then an inspection of the station base in Wonju field.
Afterward, we have to go to America right away……”

As he reported the situation while driving, Park SungJae looked at the pale Yoo Sung-Eun seated at the back and let out a sigh.

He stopped his report for a moment and asked.

“…Are you really alright in that state? Guildmaster, you look worse than before.”

“I’m alright.
Just a bit drowsy.”

“It’s because you’ve been taking up too much work for several months.
You also overtaxed yourself in the dungeon yesterday.

……You also know it.”

Park Sungjae paused for a moment and continued.

“Your spell is…… killing you.”

Yoo Sung-Eun kept her mouth tightly shut.
There was nothing wrong in Park SungJae’s words.

The healing spell that put Yoo Sung-Eun on the path of success — 《 Sacrifice 》.

This spell was so powerful that it could cure the majority of those near death at once, but it had a fatal flaw.

It was that every time the spell was used, it reduced the caster’s vitality.

Usually, ‘Unique Skills’ like 《 Sacrifice 》 had a penalty.
For example, snatching away the caster’s vitality, requiring a payment for use, or acquiring a debuff.

This applied to  Yoo Sung-Eun’s spell 《 Sacrifice 》 as well.

Park SungJae slightly bowed his head out of the pity he felt.

‘It would be nice if healing spells worked on her.’

The vitality lost from using 《 Sacrifice 》 could only be recovered with spells of the same level or higher.

The problem was that there were no healing spells more powerful than 《 Sacrifice 》.

Saintess Yoo Sung-Eun’s 《 Sacrifice 》 — the only Unique skill for healing.

A Unique skill here was a skill that was at a level above S-rank which was called the highest rank.

It could only be gained through blood inheritance or self-manifestation.

Yoo Sung-Eun was the only person in the world who gained a Unique healing spell.

Receiving healing from someone else was not a possibility.

“We promised not to say those words, SungJae-oppa.”

Yoo Sung-Eun laughed with a joking expression.

Feeling miserable, Park SungJae held on to the wheel more forcefully.

‘If things stay as they are, the Guildmaster might collapse soon.
If that happens……’

Park SungJae glanced at Yoo Sung-Eun.

She had stopped talking and was looking out the window with a composed look on her face.

Truthfully, Yoo Sung-Eun knew about her situation the most.
The fact that there wasn’t much time remaining wherein she could continue to work as a raider.
That her body would soon reach its limit.

But she had to continue.

To protect the citizens who believed in her and the members of the Yeonhwa Guild, she had to endure a little bit more.

‘Damn.’

Park SungJae looked at Yoo Sung-Eun, who was drinking water with shaking hands, and sighed with pity.
