Reversing Life With Legendary Skills! - Chapter 35

Singapore.

It was the place for the conference.

Jin-woo unpacked his luggage at the hotel, then went straight to the meeting place with Han Yu-ra.

It wasn’t a situation where they could do some sightseeing. There was no time.

They have to find the exact cause as soon as possible.

The meeting place is on the top floor of the hotel, a business suite.

Han Yu-ra and Jin-woo spoke as they were going up in the elevator.

“There must be no guild leaders in this meeting.”

“They’ve sent proxies like me?”

“Yes, most likely. It’s an emergency meeting, the guild leaders could not have prepared in advance to attend this.”

Ding dong-!

The elevator stopped at the top floor. Armed guards were waiting as soon as the elevator doors opened.

“Please verify your identity.”

“I am Han Yu-ra of the Taewang Guild. This is Kang Jin-woo who came on behalf of Master Park Tae-sung.”

Jin-woo is famous around the world, but nevertheless, the security check was done thoroughly.

His weapon was retrieved, and his inventory was checked for other weapons before they were guided to the meeting room.

Click-!

As soon as the door opened, they saw a spacious interior, and a wide view of Singapore’s city center was on the window.

Jin-woo saw familiar places.

They were all globally famous. Jin-woo had seen them only on TV before.

“Whoa, it’s the legendary skill holder!”

One of the players stood up to greet him.

David James.

A level 361 player and a former soldier.

He was an active player in the White House guild four years ago and is now their general manager.

“Why don’t you stop talking about useless things and start the meeting right away?”

At the words of an Arab man, the atmosphere was chilled.

“I agree. What are we waiting for?”

Lin Xiao, representing Red Dragon, agreed.

He opened his inventory and pulled out an item.

“Isn’t this the actual reason why we gathered together?”

A statue in the form of a sword.

Subsequently, Mujahideen’s agent and David also opened their inventories.

Each of them took out a different type of statue and placed it on the table.

Everyone then looked at Jin-woo.

He took out the relic from his inventory.

That moment.

Jiing-!

The relics shone and resonated with each other.

The moment the resonance stopped…

 

[Quest <Proof of Qualification> has been updated]

 

A notification window popped up in front of everyone’s eyes.

 

[Quest Content]

[Kill Boru, one of the four kings of the demon kingdom]

 

Could he be the creature seen in the video?

[Sure. The towers also appeared in four places.]

So, there must be demon kings in each tower, and we have to go kill one of them.

[Since your relic came from the Dragon’s Nest, your target tower should be the one in England.]

Oh, you have good reasoning skills!

[Ahem!]

The swordsman laughed.

The other attendees seem to have understood themselves what needs to be done.

Each one left their seats and saying excuses before leaving the room.

As expected, the meeting didn’t last long.

Jin-woo also left the room.

 

* * *

 

Lin Xiao’s private plane was gone when Jin-woo and Yu-ra arrived at the airport.

It was absurd.

They came together, but they were left here without a word.

“Well, does it really matter?”

Their destination was not Korea anyway.

They are going to England.

With the help of the Singapore branch of the Taewang Guild, a special plane was arranged for them.

Soon, they were on the way to England.

On the plane, they contacted Park Tae-sung to discuss what happened.

-Quest has been updated here as well. Quest update seemed to have occurred simultaneously around the world. It said to kill the four kings… Boru. I never heard of that name.

“I see.”

The main quest seemed to be shared by people all over the world.

“First, we’ll go to England and check the Dragon’s Nest again.”

-Do that. I will contact Oliver in advance.

“Thank you.”

After disconnecting, Jin-woo looked out the window.

Four Demon Kings.

Relics.

Will they give a reward once the quest is finished?

Jin-woo was 50/50 on it. Rewards usually come with a quest, but they did not receive a reward for finishing the tutorial quest, so he could not say for sure.

I’ll find out soon.

There was no point in wasting time on a problem that could not be answered right now.

[Just sleep and try to rest. I think you need it.]

Yes.

Jin-woo closed his eyes and slowly fell asleep.

 

* * *

 

The plane flew over London.

“London has also suffered severe damage,” Han Yu-ra said.

Jin-woo looked out the window. There were fires in the city, and places were buildings have collapsed.

“I think Master is correct when he said that Seoul is in decent state compared to others.”

The merger of the Noblesse and the Taewang Guild was postponed.

However, the two guilds still maintained their cooperation.

Oliver met them when they landed.

“You’ve flown a long way.”

“Long time no see.”

“I’m surprised you came here yourself to meet us.”

“Because we’re from the same family,” Oliver smiled. “Now, let’s go.”

They climbed in Oliver’s Rolls Royce and left the airport.

Restoration work was in full swing throughout London.

“The damage is not as bad as I thought.”

“London is an important city. The guild, as well as the British government moved quickly to defeat the monsters.”

Soon, they stopped in front of Noblesse’s headquarters.

They were guided into a conference room.

“You must be tired from the long flight, but we need to discuss what happened immediately.”

Jin-woo and Han Yu-ra nodded.

Everyone around the world was surprised at the quest update.

It took ten years to complete the tutorial.

Now, the main quest has been updated in just a few days.

“Well, we don’t have any new information except for the information we already sent.”

“So, we need to capture the four kings of the demon kingdom, and they are in the towers in countries where the level 400 dungeons were?”

“That’s right.”

“I see. Okay, well. I’ll take you to the hotel.”

“Oh, rather than the hotel, we would like to go directly to the Dragon’s Nest,” Jin-woo said.

“Dragon’s Nest?”

“Yes. We want to meet the Demon King there.”

“Well… could you please give me time?”

“Time?”

“Yes, I need a few days to gather help.”

[Isn’t that rather good?]

Yeah?

[Have you forgotten? The cooldown of the admission ticket is in a few days!]

Ah! I forgot.

[Stupid guy.]

It was because I was so busy!

“Okay. Then, we can take a few days off.”

“Thank you.”

They went to their hotel.

After unpacking, Jin-woo immediately opened his inventory.

 

[Cooldown: 2 days]

 

There are still two days left.

What am I going to do for two days?

[What else should you do? You should practice.]

The swordsman raised his sword.

Jin-woo silently grabbed his sword as well.

“Good.”

 

* * *

 

Next day.

Han Yu-ra came to Jin-woo’s room.

“Have you seen the video, Jin-woo?”

“What video?”

Instead of answering, she handed him a smartphone.

He took it and pressed ‘play’ on the video on-screen.

He saw several white people.

“These are the members of the White House guild. They raided the Ancient Ruins last night.”

“What?”

“Yes. It seems like they thought there would be some hidden reward if they cleared it first.”

Jin-woo had also thought of it.

At that time, a woman appeared on the screen.

She looked similar to the creature who blew up the Forbidden City.

The only difference is that she had bat wings.

Soon, a battle broke out.

The White House guild players number about a hundred.

It was not a lot.

However, they were all powerful.

Jin-woo could infer that they were all high-level players based on their movements and skills.

Then, the woman took off her clothes.

-Ho ho ho ho! Are you here to play with me?

Everyone froze.

After a few moments, the players started moving again.

But this time, they behaved strangely.

They stumbled like they were drunk, then they pulled out their weapons and attacked each other.

What’s even more strange is that there were no screams or cries of pain.

They just continued whacking at each other mindlessly.

Soon, the video was cut off.

“What is this… … .”

“Everyone died.”

“Well… Just how powerful is that hypnotic magic…”

“You cannot disregard it. All the players who went there are over level 300.”

“So, even the high-level players could not fight against that magic…”

“Yeah. We do not know what abilities the other demon kings have. We need to be careful.”

“Thank you for letting me know. Oh, and I’ll be away for a while tomorrow.”

“Yes? Where are you going?”

“Yeah. I want to do some shopping.”

Han Yu-ra looked at him as if what he said was absurd.

Shopping. In this situation.

“Are the stores even open in this situation?”

“I know where the stores are open.”

“Ugh. Suit yourself.”

Han Yu-ra left the room, shaking her head.

The swordsman landed on Jin-woo’s head.

[Shopping… it’s not wrong.]

Huh, right?

Jin-woo smiled as he stared at the admission ticket in his inventory.

 

* * *

 

 

Next day.

Jin-woo stood at the entrance in awe.

“The Earth is in uproar, but it’s so peaceful here.”

[Because it doesn’t matter to them at all. You seem more relaxed today, too.]

“Ah, I’ve been here many times. Now, I can relax.”

[Oh. Now, you’re a little more prepared?]

“Yes.”

It is not a bluff.

Jin-woo has already made perfect preparations.

There was no gap in his plan, so he was full of confidence.

First, he will buy an admission ticket and a return ball. Then, buy legendary skill cards on display. Choose a recovery skill as a secondary skill instead of an attack skill.

Jin-woo wanted a recovery skill just in case.

With a legendary recovery skill, he can heal most injuries instantly.

After getting a skill, he would go to the forge next to it and buy legendary weapons and armor.

All those should only take 120 seconds!

Thanks to his current level of over 300, he had a total of 3 minutes to spend.

“It’s a great plan, right?”

[No.]

The swordsman gave him a strange smile.

It made Jin-woo a little anxious, but he shrugged it off.

“Now, shall we go in?”

He passed through the gate.

 

[Time remaining: 305 seconds]

 

The timer started.

Okay! I can do it!

He quickly went to the octopus’ shop.

However…

“Mister?”

It was closed. The store was dark.

[It’s a great plan until something goes off.]

“Damn it!”

The store is closed!

Jin-woo couldn’t even have imagined that happening.

“Hoo, let’s calm down, calm down…”

He can do the next part of the plan.

He turned and headed to Mr. Rat’s forge.

“Huh? The kid!”

“Oh, thank God!”

[Sheesh! It’s not fun to see him again.]

“What? This swordsman.”

Jin-woo was so glad to see Mr. Rat, but he does not have time to celebrate.

First…

“Do you sell tickets and return balls here?”

“This is a forge, not a general store.”

Jin-woo’s head spun as if he was hit by a hammer.

The only way out of this place was through a return ball.

If he exceeds the timer, he will die.

[Stop worrying about useless things and go inside the smithy.]

“Huh? But…”

[There’s another general store inside. They can sell you tickets and return balls.]

“Really?”

Mr. Rat nodded.

Jin-woo sighed with relief, then opened his inventory.

He took out the Dragon Blade.

“This is the Dragon Blade that I borrowed last time.”

“Did you use it well?”

“Yes. Thanks to this, I was able to eliminate a great risk. However…”

“You used the Dragon Slayer skill.”

“Yes… Sorry. I should somehow compensate…”

Hoop-!

Mr. Rat threw the sword behind him.

Wajangchang-!

Dragon Blade, a legendary weapon, clanged on the floor.

“I don’t care. I told you to use it anyway. By the way, your weapon is not finished yet.”

Jin-woo’s eyebrows furrowed, then he remembered.

He gave Mr. Rat a pile of dragon bones for a weapon.

He totally forgot about it. There were so many things in his head.

“Can I buy another weapon?”

[There is not much time.]

Jin-woo checked the timer at the swordsman’s words.

 

[Time remaining: 121 seconds]

 

Two minutes left.

He has wasted too much time reeling from shock at the closed Octopus’ store.

Mr. Rat suddenly spoke.

“Open your inventory.”

“Inventory? Okay.”

Jin-woo opened his inventory, then unexpectedly…

Mr. Rat threw several weapons and armors into his inventory!

“That would be useful to you.”

“Useful?”

Jin-woo’s eyes widened as he checked the items in his inventory.

The new items inside were all hero-rating or higher.
