Chapter 236: Mythical Being (3)

No matter how we could respond the second time, there would have been no way to avoid the first Energy Drain. This meant that things might have gotten twisted if the floating magic had not been cast in time.

The most obvious thing was the difference between knowing and not knowing.

After casting the first Energy Drain spell, the monster’s skull, which had concentrated a lot of magical power, was vulnerable to attacks, and Kim Hyunsung had taken the opportunity.

Though he had done the right thing, the way with which we ended Skeleton Knight Baan did not seem legendary at all. In any case, we had beaten him without having to sacrifice anything.

Now, it was time to challenge the second monster.

l had begun to look forward to the next challenge, and apparently, so were the Black Swans.

-You are strong.

“…”

-Of course, there are some people with high profile, so it’s natural, but I didn’t think that Baan would fall so easily. When the Guardians see you, they will be really happy.

Looking at the expressions of the people around me, I knew that they were feeling just as impatient as I was. Just how long was Max going to keep talking?

-As mentioned earlier, rewards are provided for each experience. One of the museum’s armaments will be presented to you, which is also randomly selected. The method is the same as before. After completing all the tours, you can run all three at once, too.

“I’ll start right away.”

Waiting was stupid, especially if the item could help us against our next enemy. Sure, there was still a possibility of receiving a cursed item that we wouldn’t be able to control, but that had a much lower probability rate than receiving a legendary-grade item.

It had been a very smooth expedition thus far, but it was also necessary to gamble.

Even if we received a cursed item and got a penalty, we could still somehow win against a legendary-grade monster.

If we were to face off a mythic-grade monster, it didn’t matter if we had a cursed item in our possession or not as we would still get annihilated.

The only way we could beat a mythical being was…

‘Equipment.’

We also needed to be armed with a mythic-grade item.

Of course, the entire expedition will not change with just one item, but if our returner’s boring equipment was upgraded, I knew he would make a breakthrough.

‘We have to get a mythic-grade item for Hyunsung, no matter what.’

That way, the team would be safe.

-Some of you may have seen it before, but there may be items that interfere with your tour.

“That’s okay.”

I didn’t know if Max was talking about it because he was worried about us or because he didn’t want to remove the artifacts displayed in the museum, but he still nodded.

-If you say so… Okay. As before, the representative can come out and spin the spinning wheel.

“Alright.”

Except for Park Yeon-joo, the ones who had a high luck stat were Jung Hayan, Dialugia, and I.

‘It can’t be Dialugia.’

If something like that parenting set we saw earlier came out, it wouldn’t even be a funny situation.

In that sense, Jung Hayan and I were also dangerous. If Hayan spun, perhaps other unthinkable items would come out as well.

‘Kim Hyunsung is also not bad.’

Though it was not too high, Kim Hyunsung also had good luck stats.

More than anyone here right now, he most desperately wanted a weapon. If his luck stats helped in this situation, we might be able to get compensation.

“I think it would be better for Hyunsung to spin this time unless other people have disagreements.”

“Yes. He can do that.”

“Hyunsung-ssi, please, spin.”

“No. Those who have a little higher luck stat than me…”

“I think it would be better if Hyunsung-ssi spins it.”

At my firm reaffirmation, he nodded and stepped forward. Taking a deep breath, he spun the wheel. Everyone’s eyes immediately focused.

“Please…”

A mythical weapon must come out. That way, we could proceed with the remaining two sessions with a sense of stability.

Kim Hyunsung also looked very desperate. I knew he had a weapon he had his eyes on but couldn’t get the chance to obtain it.

After I stole Juliana, he had always been stuck with heroic-grade equipment. Those sad days seemed to be passing by on his face.

He must be thinking that it would be nice if even a legendary-grade came out, but it was not the legendary level he should choose.

‘It’s mythic that you need, Hyunsung!’

If he were to receive a legendary-grade item, it must be one of the higher level ones, which would soon get promoted, a weapon just like the Frost Greatsword we saw earlier.

[The spinning wheel is spinning.]

‘Please.’

[A rare-grade weapon, Archmage Isaac’s Magic Sword, was chosen.]

“What?!”

-This is one of the items that came through the Crack. It’s lower-ranked, but it has value…

Silence filled the entire room. Everyone’s expressions resembled that of absurdity.

The Skull Knight was definitely a legendary-grade monster, and the expedition team wasted the time they worked hard to beat it. The fact that our reward was this magic sword was laughable.

Kim Hyunsung was staring at the result he got with a blank face. The number of rare-grade items in this place was less than ten. The probability was even lower than the legendary-grade items. He had just proven how he didn’t have the required level of luck.

As if he was thinking this to be unfair, he clenched his fist, but he didn’t throw the sword or cursed. He just stood there, quietly looking at the sword.

“I’m sorry.”

“No. It’s nothing to be sorry about. There is no guarantee that the result would be different if another person had picked. We will get a good reward for the second time.”

“Yes…”

“You don’t have to feel so depressed.”

“Right, Hyunsung-ssi. There’s no guarantee that you will have a good pick just because of a high luck stat… If you see that I picked a legendary-grade monster just now, perhaps the luck stat doesn’t mean much in this kind of draw…”

Though we weren’t sure about how luck factored in this dungeon, it would still be safer to pick someone with a high luck stat. However, just because one’s luck stat was high didn’t mean they were born to have a good outcome in life. There were people with high luck stats yet were stuck in the slums.

Of course, it may be different for Yuno Kasugano, whose luck stat was a big, fat zero. The fact that she had been able to become successful only proved that this stat needed more research.

In Kim Hyunsung’s case, he didn’t have the necessary luck this time. In fact, the thing that bothered me more than that now was…

Was this whole spinning wheel actually randomized?

No, whether it was random or not, the attitude of the manager, Max, was also a problem.

The fact that he was proud of the museum was painfully obvious. He knew what the Crack Guardians, who created him, had intended upon creating this place, and the fact that he respected said Crack Guardians was fully recognizable. Seeing as how he passionately explained about each item, I knew he was attached to this museum. If he were an intelligent being, he would not want to remove the high-value items displayed in the museum.

The manager, Max, may not be of perfect intellect, but he was close to it.

Even now, he was harboring a relieved expression at the results. However, I didn’t know if the others could also observe this, or I was different because of my Mind’s Eye, but…

Though Max was a machine, he was also an intelligent being.

I wondered if he was a hidden named monster in the dungeon, but I didn’t think this was the case. This Crack Museum was managed by the system, not by him.

The Crack Guardians had created the system, but it was also a system maintained by the transcendental beings who controlled this continent. Had it been possible to destroy everything, I would have taken a mythic-grade item for free and then ignored the museum expedition he was proceeding with and leave.

Just like the tutorial dungeon, one could leave after completing the quest. This museum was a similar case.

The important thing was, to what extent could the administrator’s rights influence the system?

There was a possibility that Max could manipulate the outcome. However, I still needed to think about this some more.

First of all, the main task would be to manage the items on display.

Seeing that he was able to show the dragon’s parenting set meant that he could get things out, but perhaps that was the only thing he could do.

As I struggled with my thoughts, Max continued talking, mostly about the item we had just gotten. Though he had a regrettable expression, he explained that this was still difficult to obtain.

-It’s a little disappointing that I have to say goodbye to our dear stuff. It was one of the objects that have been on display in our museum for a long time, even if it is low ranked… However, I can’t help it. There’s nothing I can do about it.

“I see.”

“I have a question, Max.”

-Please say it.

“How big is your authority over the museum?”

-I don’t know what you mean… I’m simply the system manager, so I’m not in a position to do anything.

I didn’t know if he was telling the truth or not, but I thought it was probably true. If he were the boss of this dungeon, not the manager, he wouldn’t have treated us this way in the first place.

“I see.”

-Ah, I lost track of time again. It’s time for the next battle. Completing the second will give you a little more time to explore the museum, so please, stay strong.

“Then, the next…”

“I will spin it.”

“Ah, yes. Kiyoung-ssi also had a high luck stat.”

At this point, I feel like it wouldn’t be bad for me to spin, especially since I wanted some more extra time to explore the museum.

I didn’t know how much time we would get, but I definitely needed to extract more information about this place.

‘However, it won’t be enough.’

It was impossible to escape from the dungeon’s basic system, but who knew if there was another way?

Since Park Yeon-joo had gotten a legendary-grade named monster, this time around, we had to get a heroic-grade!

For some reason, I didn’t feel pressured at all.

[The spinning wheel is spinning.]

When I put down the pressure and inserted my magic power, the spinning wheel began to spin fiercely. I couldn’t help but expect to get a heroic-grade purple space or a rare-grade purple space.

‘It’s fine.’

I never thought I had bad luck after coming here.

Everything was good, and I had faced some pretty dangerous things, but… overall, I had definitely been born with strong luck.

However, my expectations were shattered in an instant.

As the spinning wheel began to slow down, my heart rate increased.

“Wa… Wait.”

[The spinning wheel is spinning.]

“W-Wait!”

[The spinning wheel is spinning.]

“Please stop. Sh*t…”

[The spinning wheel is spinning.]

“Ah.”

[The spinning wheel has stopped.]

[Mythic-grade monster, Ancient God’s Fragment has been selected.]

“…”

“…”

“…”

A heavy silence filled the entire room.

Suddenly, a loud voice shouted out.

“It’s… It’s a frame-up!”
