Chapter 50: Hidden Quest and Comrades - Final Part

After a long time of walking for an hour, it is already 3 in the morning and I still have four hours before going to school, we finally arrived at the base of the plateau which is so intimidating.

We are like an ant compared to the height of the plateau.

"How are we going to go up there?" He asked and continued, "Are we climbing?"

"Who says we are climbing?" I asked as I stared at the peak of the plateau.

I have wings! The only reason I didn't use my wings while climbing and going down the peak where Julius resides is that the wind is too strong!

But here, the wind is calm and I know that the wind at high altitudes is also not so strong because my mana already reached the top of the plateau. I can now also use the [Artificial Sense] this way, after all.

[Rune Magic: 盾 (Shield)]

I applied shield runes in Julius's body so that the wind won't affect his vision and temperature while we are going up. I want to go up as soon as possible!

"Huh? What is this for?" Julius asked as I didn't mind his question and I only hold his arms tightly so that he won't fall.

"Huh?" He continued making dumb reactions as the time he saw my [Dragon Wings]

"We are flying!" I smiled widely as I immediately jumped and flapped my wings.

"Wa-wai-wait! Noo!" Julius said as he saw the ground getting far away from us. We are continuously raising our altitude.

"Ahh!" He can only yell as I risen my speed. This is not full of my speed but I only used 0.01% of my speed that is still very terrifying for normal players or even rankers.

If I used 100%, in a microsecond we are already there but I only have 1% right now and I estimated that I can use the power of 2997924 stats of agility. If I used 0.01% I can use 29,979 stats of agility.

So, the only thing that I can do is use 0.001% of my power and on top of that, I am only using half of it.

Even though it is not the exact stat of mine because the system interprets it as infinity, I can only base it on the speed of light's value since I am almost as fast as it or faster.

The only thing I can do is use all of my best to hide this power, I didn't seal the 99.999% of powers because I don't know the amount of stats. It is better to know the estimated amount of my 1% stats.

Now, we reached the top for 20 minutes. Even though it is kind of slower ever since I traveled 750 miles for a microsecond with the speed of light, I felt relief that the amount of my power I am using is enough not to be suspected by the players or NPC.

I finally reached the snowy peak of the plateau and it seems like there is a battlefield ahead.

"Let's go check immediately!" I ran as fast as a normal player (I can't use "I ran as fast as I can"...) to the battlefield and then saw a lot of black aurae that are around a lot of dragons.

"They are-- becoming [Corrupted]!" I immediately realized what is going on. The aura is pitch black which is the sign of being corrupted. And they are surrounding a lot of [Ice Dragons] or [Ice Elves].

[Corrupted Monsters] can be caused by two reasons: they experienced too much despair or they are being enchanted by a [Corruption Inducement] that I can also use using the [Nightmare Dragon's Inducements]

Being a [Corrupted Monsters] meant that they don't have their will or their consciousness and they are being driven by the corruption to go wild and destroy everything.

'Wait, as far as I remember, at that time when I reached here, the dragoness said that a lot of troublesome enemies appeared and that made her get her curse.'

"I see, so these are the enemies she's talking about!" I muttered angrily as I immediately dashed towards the battlefield and saw two players getting cornered by the [Corrupted Ice Elves] and [Corrupted Ice Giants]

I can't see their face clearly but they are a male and female. The female is using plant elements to restrain the [Corrupted Ice Elves]' hands to stop them from using their bows and then the male is using fire elemental spear attacks which looked very familiar to me.

When I started to look at them closely if I can see their faces, a lot of ice elves from afar released their arrows from their bows towards the players.

'That is not good!' I said to myself as I immediately used my [Dragon Wings] and flew towards them.

I landed loudly in front of them and then used [Earth Dragon's Tough Scale] which is very convenient and then immediately used another dragon skill.

[Nature Dragon's Restraint!]

Plants created by the nature itself from the [Earth Dragon Tree] restrained all of their movements like a vine and dragging them to the ground.

I finally use another skill to knock all of them. I don't want to kill them because all of the residents here are friendly and I am sure that they are only doing this thing because they are corrupted.

[Ice Dragon's Meteorical Fall!]

It is a skill I always used when I learned the [Ice Dragon Skill Tree] that I bought from Julius in the closed beta test. The crystal icicles formed in the air and then descended like rain towards the corrupted, making them knocked out.

They won't die for it because all NPC or races here are all immune to ice magic itself. But the skill I used is enough to knock all of them.

Because of those skills, a lot of attention gathered towards me, and used the same skills to restrain them and knocking them out using the raining icicles.

Then I immediately noticed that both of the players are speechless on what they are seeing. I may not be looking at them but I can feel them using my [Artificial Sense]. I don't have time to look at them because this time, there are dragon enemies.

I equipped the [Crystal Ice Sword] and used a sword technique.

[Elemental Sword Technique: Downpour]

I leaped as high as I could and then used ice magic to reinforce in my sword and releases the energy inside of it, making meteor-like attacks.

Alongside the [Ice Dragon's Meteorical Fall], with the [Downpour] from the [Elemental Sword Technique], it seems like it is raining a lot of meteor in the vision of everyone.

I stopped using the technique as I gradually lose my altitude and then landed on the ground.

I sighed loudly and said, "This is too troublesome! How can I cleanse all of the [Corrupted Monsters]?"

I scratched my chin, thinking of what to do. I am not a fan of using cleansing magic so I always have the habit of removing them from my memory which makes me oblivious to [Holy Magic]

"Are you--Theo?" The man said from my behind which made me surprised.

"That skill and the phrase, "This is too troublesome...", you are definitely Theo!" The familiar voice of the woman continued as I immediately realized whose voice are they from.

"Eh? L-levy and Fiona?" I asked as I immediately looked behind, confirming if the owner of those voices are exactly theirs.

They are really the person I know!

"Wha-why are you here?" I asked immediately as I walked to them excitedly, giving them a hug.

"We finally found you! You are the only person who isn't on our guild!" Levy exclaimed as they hugged me back.

"You are really the one who bought the territory and the one who creates a mysterious guild! But you guys are finding me?" I asked in confusion as I released them.

"Yeah! We are finding you for two months ever since the guild was rebuilt! We are still lacking you, you as***le!" Levy still hasn't changed and still treats me like his little brother.

"We are finding you on the possible locations that you can go and the most possible place that we remembered is this place, it is because this is the place of your dragon, the [Ice Dragoness] and the place where you will end up in the [Hidden Dark-Gold] mission is here... Plus, your [Crystal Ice Sword] is the trigger of the quest, right?" Fiona said as she stared at the corrupted creatures.

"Let's go to the palace immediately!" Fiona immediately said as she realized something.

"Why?" I asked as I noticed her reaction, she is in rush.

"Remember when we finished the quest after cleansing her curse? The person who is responsible for that is currently fighting with the dragoness!" She shouts as she rushed towards the [Ice Palace] where we can see from afar.

After realizing it for the second time, I immediately used [Dragon Wings] and took Levy. I started flying towards Fiona to take her with me towards the palace.

"This is pretty convenient! It seems like you are the person who got the celestial reward from the normal gacha!" Levy chuckled as we flew so fast.

"We can see it!" The [Ice Palace] is huge and some parts of it are destroyed. We can also sense malicious energy coming from the inside.

"What an energy!" Fiona shouts as she felt those energies too.

"Eh? You are feeling the energy from far away?" Levy asked as he stared at Fiona.

"Don't tell me you forgot that I am a [Sensory Battle Plant Mage]?" Fiona irritatingly replied.

I chuckled slightly as I increase my speed slowly.

"Yeah, yeah, fine. Sorry, I forgot~ You felt it too, Theo?" Levy asked me and I only replied with a simple nod.

"Eh? Don't tell me you got an incredible skill?!" Levy asked as I didn't answer that question.

Even though they are my friends, I don't want to let anyone know that I became a god already here at this game...

We finally reached the palace and released both Levy and Fiona.

Levy and Fiona immediately destroyed all of the [Wights] in the way. They are all ranging from level 700 to 900 and I didn't get much experience killing them because I just leveled up a lot from level 1,264 earlier after killing the [Dark Lich]

So far, I need 6 billion EXP to level up and I can only get the EXP that can satisfy me is to kill level 1,500 monsters which gives me 50 billion EXP.
