Chapter 882: Chapter 881

The identity of the long spear that Hyeonu showed to Kalui was naturally the Guardian’s Spear.

“The spear of His Majesty, Larenix...”

Kalui seemed several times more impressed than when he saw the seven-colored magic power. The seven-colored magic power could be used by any member of the imperial family, while the spear in front of him belonged solely to Larenix.

In Kalui’s memories, it was good to see Larenix holding the spear and moving between the demons and god tribe. It came to mind clearly when he closed his eyes and thought about it.

“That’s right, it is the spear that Larenix was using. I found it in the demon world.”

“In the demon world?”

“I recovered it from where it was stuck in the demon god’s body.”

“His Majesty got the final revenge...”

Kalui shook his head. The fact that Larenix’s spear was stuck in the demon god’s body meant he had succeeded in getting revenge on those who brought about the fall of the empire.

“I just want to ask one thing. Is this really Larenix’s Spear?”

Hyeonu held out the spear to Kalui. Kalui carefully received the spear that Hyeonu held out with both hands.

“That’s right. It is definitely the spear used by His Majesty, Larenix.”

Kalui scanned the spear for a while before handing the spear to Hyeonu.

“Is it really correct? Did it originally look like this? Don’t you think it is missing something?” Hyeonu asked again as he took back the spear.

This wasn’t normal no matter how he thought about it. There was obviously something wrong with it.

“Why are you so certain?”

Kalui’s expression became serious. It was because Hyeonu’s question was too firm. It was clear that there was a problem.

“There is too clear a difference in the level of the ring and the spear to be called the same legacy. They are absolutely not on the same level.”

The rationale was clear. The system guaranteed it. The Guardian’s Spear had an epic rating, while Incomplete Eternity had a legendary rating.

“A difference... can you give me a moment?”

Kalui closed his eyes and recalled his old memories. He was recalling a very old memory. They were memories of the days when he risked his life on the battlefield.

‘There were times when I thought I was going to die...’

It was actually much easier to find a home in the demon world. The war in the middle world was tough. Larenix was at the forefront of this war.

‘What did it look like back then?’

Larenix, who was at the forefront of the battlefield despite being the emperor, was always the same. He wore armor made by dwarf craftsmen, artifacts made by his ancestors, and stirred up the battlefield with the spear held in his hand.

‘I was truly impressed with the bloodless spear...’

During battles, blood inevitably got all over the body. Yet even if there was blood all over his body, there wasn’t a single drop of blood on Larenix’s spear. The silver-colored spear blade was full of a noble energy and an unbending uprightness was felt from the spear.

‘Right...!’

Kalui found the decisive difference. The difference between the spear that Larenix was holding and the spear that Hyeonu was holding.

‘The color is different...’

The color of the spear blade and the spear were strangely different in color. It was as if it hadn’t won against the test of time and became rusted.

“The color is different,” Kalui answered firmly. It was certain. The color was obviously different. The difference became clear once he realized it.

“The color is different? Are you saying it originally wasn’t this color?”

“The spear blade was clearer than this and the pole of the spear feels more solid than it is now.”

Hyeonu was immersed in thought after hearing Kalui’s clear answer.

‘Is this a clue?’

At the same time, Hyeonu’s brow furrowed. It was because what was given as a clue was too abstract.

‘How do I restore the color change?’

The first one to come to mind was the dwarf great tribe chief, Kapa.

‘I don’t know the cause, but I might know the solution.’

It was worth looking forward to if it was Kapa. In Arena, the one who was most knowledgeable about metals was Kapa. However, Hyeonu instead asked the person in front of him, Kalui, “Do you have any guesses?”

It was because he didn’t know who was going to come up with a solution.

“One thing... there is something I can point out.”

Kalui gave an unexpected answer.

“You have something to point out?”

Hyeonu was slightly excited by Kalui’s answer, which he hadn’t expected.

‘The quest reward is certain.’

It said it would give a clue and it definitely seemed to give it.

“It seems that the spear is contaminated.”

Contamination—this was what Kalui thought of.

“I think the problem is that it has been stuck in the body of the demon god for too long. It has been imbued with the magic power in the blood of the demon god.

“How do I fix it?”

“I think it should be purified first.”

“Purified?” Hyeonu frowned. He couldn’t think of a proper method.

‘Should I stop by the north before going to the East Continent?’

Then Kalui continued to speak, “Why don’t you try injecting magic power into the spear first? It is the simplest thing that you can try.”

“Is that it?”

Hyeonu cocked his head. Use magic power to purify an item contaminated with the demon god’s blood.

‘This is a game... it might be possible.’

Hyeonu nodded and injected magic power into the spear. The long spear was soon covered with the seven-colored magic power, with the purple color being particularly conspicuous. However, nothing happened. It was just pure energy rising around the spear.

‘Is this enough?’

“Tang-E, what are you doing?” Hyeonu frowned slightly and called Tang-E.

“Master dude.” A golden bear appeared above Hyeonu’s head. There was also a purple bear. It was Hyeonu’s magic spirit, Gom-E.

“Huh? My little brother has changed.” Tang-E immediately noticed the subtle change in Gom-E. At first glance, he was still purple, yet upon closer inspection, pale colors could be found all over Gom-E’s body.

“That’s right, Brother. Gom-E has changed. Hehe.”

Gom-E was also curious about his body. He continued to examine his body, which was seven colors.

‘They’re having fun on their own.’

Hyeonu smiled bitterly as he watched Tang-E and Gom-E continuing their conversation without any interest in him. Then he pushed more magic power into the Guardian’s Spear. There was a clearer layer of pure energy around the Guardian’s Spear. The long spear as well as the spear blade were covered with pure energy. From a distance, the Guardian’s Spear seemed rainbow colored with a slightly purple tint.

“Is this not enough?” Hyeonu asked a question. It wasn’t directed at Kalui, Tang-E, or Gom-E. It was a question he was asking himself.

‘Then I should pour in more.’

The Guardian’s Spear started to become clearer. At the same time, Hyeonu’s magic power was rapidly running out. At a certain point, the Guardian’s Spear started to cry. The cry grew louder and louder. At first, only Hyeonu, who was holding the spear, could hear it. Then it was soon heard by Tang-E, Gom-E, and Kalui. Then the crying stopped in an instant. At the same time, a creepy sound came from the Guardian’s Spear. The unpleasant noise continued.

Hyeonu didn’t care about it and continued to inject more magic power. Now his magic power was on the verge of running out, but he still didn’t care. He instinctively knew that he didn’t have much to go.

Just then, the magic power of Hyeonu, which was covering the entire Guardian’s Spear, was sucked into the spear. The spear vibrated strongly. It was a strong vibration like a chainsaw or drill. Hyeonu grabbed the spear strongly with both hands.

A few minutes passed before the vibration stopped.

‘Is it finished?’

Hyeonu checked the Guardian’s Spear in his hand. There were no big changes. It was just that the spear was a bit brighter than before. However, there was a much bigger change than the eye could see.

Hyeonu’s vision was filled with all sorts of message windows. He couldn’t smile after reading all of them.

Rewards: Experience, the true divine object of the Luos Empire.]

‘This is now... what should I do?’

Nothing else came into view. He only saw the quest clear conditions. It was filled with absurd conditions, whether it was killing numerous members of the god tribe, the senior members of the god tribe, or killing either their king or the chief of the ra tribe who ruled them all, Luke. It was only by doing them that he could purify the remaining spear blade.

‘This is really ridiculous.’

Hyeonu sighed. He had to go to war with the god tribe anyway. There was nothing wrong with this. The ridiculous thing was the condition to kill the king of the god tribe or to kill Luke.

‘I have to go and kill Jeras.’

It was tens of thousands of times easier to kill Jeras than it was to kill Luke. He could kill Jeras if he was with Lebron.

‘I don’t know if I can do it myself right now.’

He had gained a lot so far. It wasn’t bad to try it out for himself. There was a big difference between when he met Jeras in the divine world and now. In order to best understand his current state, it was more appropriate to fight the strong rather than the weak.

“I will only trust and follow you, My Lord.”

Kalui fell to his knees on the ground. The sight currently reflected in Kalui’s eyes was the second coming of Larenix. Otherwise, everything in the Luos Empire wouldn’t have ended up with Hyeonu.

Conditions: Obtain the title of ‘emperor’ 0/1.

Rewards: Experience.]

‘A quest with no rewards like this...’

Hyeonu couldn’t help laughing when he saw the new quest. It was a quest rating he was seeing for the first time while playing Arena, but the reward made no sense. It was safe to say that it had little value as a quest.

‘I can’t clear it and the rewards are bad. Let’s just leave it alone.’

It was a quest that could never be cleared until he was able to defeat the monstrous emperor. It was best to think of it as nothing and completely erase it from his memory.

“I believe in you as well. You are already indispensable in Phinis.”

Even so, he didn’t show it with his words. He pretended not to know.

“I will go now. Kalui, you must have work to do.”

Hyeonu said goodbye to Kalui and entered the internal affairs room.

“Yes, My Lord,” Kalui replied loudly while bowing to Hyeonu’s back.

‘For now... I will go straight to the East Continent.’

Hyeonu sat down on the chair in the internal affairs room and organized his plans for the future. There was just no plan. Everything was already pointing to the front lines of the East Continent.

‘Should I start off by asking for credit?’

Meanwhile, Hyeonu tried to get even a slightly bigger profit. He touched the system and wrote a note. The content didn’t matter.

-Please tell Edward ‘the secret arts are a secret because it belongs only to you’.

The name of the recipient was Kalen, the master of the Venom Guild.
