Chapter 390

[You have mastered the sucker of the Kraken].

[You have mastered the meat of the kraken].

[You have mastered the sucker of the Kraken].

[You have mastered the essence of the Kraken].

[You’ve acquired the Kraken’s Spirit Stone].

“Hmmm.

The item Lamphere dropped wasn’t much different from the Kraken we’d caught before.

[Faraday: You have mastered the whip of the lampreys].

“One piece of equipment…

The only other thing was that a piece of equipment was dropped.

‘That’s a good thing.

The Kraken he’d killed before hadn’t dropped any equipment items, which was a good sign for a single piece of equipment. Ming Hu opened his inventory to check the information on the items he had acquired this time.

The meat of the legendary beast, the Kraken, is so fantastically flavored that two people could eat it and one would never know the difference.

The sucker of the legendary beast Kraken, it can be used as a cooking ingredient but is usually used for armor.

The Kraken’s spirit stone from the legendary beast.

It contains the essence of the legendary beast Kraken, a powerful water element.

“This is more of the same…

For the Meat and Sucker, I already expected that, and for the Spirit Stone and Essence, I thought they would have different information because they are different monsters. However, contrary to my expectations, the information for the Spirit Stones and Essence was exactly the same as what I had gotten before. After checking the information of the four items, Ming Hu checked the information of the first equipment item dropped by the Kraken, Faraden: Lamphere’s Whip.

Physical Attack: 4500

10% Attack Speed, +10% Movement Speed

20% chance to gain 20% increased Attack Speed and Movement Speed when attacking.

A whip forged from the power of Lamphere, a kraken, a kraken called by the gods the Faradon race, this whip is very hard and tough. It can be used in conjunction with other equipment for even greater effectiveness.

Lampere’s Whip was a Legendary tier item.

“Hulk.

After checking the information on the whip, Ming Hu couldn’t help but be a little surprised.

“Was it a set tem?

He wasn’t surprised because it was Legendary. The reason Ming Hu was surprised was because Lamphere’s Whip is a set item. Ming Hu quickly checked the set’s effects.

“…”

After seeing the set effect, Ming Hu couldn’t say anything; he just stared at the set effect blankly.

‘Increased jousters?

What Ming Hu was looking for was the Jousting boost, which is the last of the set effects you get for equipping 3 or 5 pieces of Faraden gear.

“Five kicks is a 10% increase?

I wasn’t mistaken. The set effect clearly said so. Ming Hu opened the Character window to check his current information.

‘Because it increases my strength and stamina.

Ming Hu’s class is Blood Knight, and his primary stats are Potency and Health, meaning that the stats that are increased by the Faradon effect are Potency and Health.

“If it increases by 10%…

After doing the math, Ming Hu smiled.

“I’ll go higher if I get a set effect.

We don’t know what the options are for the paradigm or equipment. But even with just the set effect applied, we could have gotten a much higher steady state than we have now.

“I felt it even then, but this is amazing.”

Just then, Deren arrived and spoke to Ming Hu. Ming Hu listened to Deren and thought as he closed his inventory.

“…but not the whip.

Ming Hu got the whip, but he couldn’t use it because he didn’t meet the restrictions on its use. You had enough stats and levels to use the whip, but you lacked the rank and skill.

“There must be a place for them to be regenerated.

Ming Hu decided to try Kraken Nohgada later, and looked at Deren. Deren met Ming Hu’s gaze and continued.

“Thank you. This ends the war.”

“You’re welcome.”

I had to catch him for the quest, and I had to catch him for help. Ming Hu shrugged his shoulders and got down to business.

“You asked me why I’m here, didn’t you?”

Deren nodded at Myung-Hoo’s question.

“This is no place for humans to come.”

Lake Belkan was not as Deren had said it would be for humans. No, it was very difficult and dangerous to even come near the lake. Ming Hu echoed Deren’s words.

“Center, center, I’m here to see something.”

“…?”

Deren shook his head. He didn’t understand what she meant. Ming Hu opened his mouth to elaborate. No, he opened it, and Deren closed it.

“You mean the center of this lake?”

“Yes.”

Ming Hu nodded. He then asked

“But I don’t know where the center of the lake is. Do you happen to know where the center of the lake is?”

Questioning Deren, Ming Hu studied Deren’s expression. Lake Belkan was indeed huge. Deren probably didn’t know where the center of the lake was either. No, it was more likely that he didn’t care in the first place.

“…?

But when Ming Hu saw the look on Deren’s face, he couldn’t help but wonder.

“What’s wrong with him?

Derren had a very serious look on his face. Why does he look like that when all I did was ask him about the center of the lake?

“Is it because I don’t know?

Is it because they don’t know where the center of the lake is?

“No.

But Ming Hu soon shook his head. If he didn’t know the location, he didn’t know it, and there was no reason for him to look so serious. Deren’s expression was serious for a reason.

“If you mean the sunken castle of the humans, I know. But can you tell me what you’re going there for?”

“…?”

Hearing Deren’s words, Ming Hu couldn’t help but wonder again.

“A sunken castle?

A sunken castle? What the hell does that mean? Ming Hu opened his character window to check his ranked quests.

Find the center of Lake Belkan!

Quest Difficulty: S

Quest Rewards: Rank – Wanderer

Quests cannot be canceled

The quest clearly said to find the center of the lake, not the sunken castle.

“I thought finding the center was about going to the center.

He had thought that since the center of the lake was the center of the lake, it would be easy to get to the center and be done, but now that Deren had told him, that didn’t seem to be the case. Ming Hu closed the quest window and looked at Deren, who was waiting for his answer, and opened his mouth.

“I’m just checking it out at the request of an acquaintance. There’s a castle there?”

I couldn’t tell him it was because of the Ranked Quest. Deren wouldn’t understand. Ming Hu was only halfheartedly answering Deren’s question, asking about the castle.

“…Didn’t you know?”

“Uh, I just thought it was the center.”

I didn’t know about it at all. It wasn’t even in the quest. This is the first I’ve heard of a castle in the center.

“Hmmm.”

Deren cleared his throat at Ming Hu’s words. He thought for a moment, then opened his mouth.

“I can tell you the location of the castle. But…”

“But?”

“There’s a guy who’s gotten around him.”

The castle was located in the center of the lake. The problem was that there was an entity that controlled the center of the lake.

“His name is Letos, and he is far too strong for me.”

Deren’s brow furrowed as he remembered Letos.

“That means…”

Ming Hu faltered, taking in Deren’s words.

“You’ll have to kill Letos to get to the castle.”

“…”

At Deren’s words, Ming Hu nodded with a look of understanding.

“I don’t know how strong it is.

Ming Hu does not know how strong Letos is.

“There are a few respawn scrolls…

It’s unlikely he’ll die, but in the unlikely event that he does, Ming Hu has a ton of resurrection scrolls.

“…”

At Ming Hu’s reaction, Deren looked at the corpse of Lamphere, then back at Ming Hu, and continued.

“It’s not over when you kill Letos and reach the castle. The castle is guarded by a kinship and a kinship guard. Letos controls the center, and no one in the lake can penetrate it.”

Even if you wanted to enter the castle, you couldn’t. To get in, you had to penetrate the boundaries and the beings that guarded them. The problem was, even the strongest Letos in the lake couldn’t break through.

“Yes.”

Ming Hu replied.

“…”

The answer came so naturally to Deren that he was speechless for a moment. Then, after a moment, he spoke up, smiling weakly.

“Take this.”

Siaak

As he finished speaking, a scroll appeared in Deren’s hand.

“This is a map of a lake I made.”

At Deren’s next words, Ming Hu quickly took the map from Deren.

[You have obtained a map of Lake Belkan made by Deren].

When he received the map, a message appeared. Ming Hu looked away from the message and immediately unfolded the map and looked at it.

“This is where we go.

Ming Hu looked at the castle in the center of the map. He wasn’t sure, but this was probably the destination of the Ranked Quest.

“But what’s the red dot?

The paper was glowing with red dots.

“The red dot on the map is your current location.”

Did he read Ming Hu’s mind? Deren said. Deren’s words made Ming Hu realize that the red dot on the map was his current location.

“I guess we’ll just have to move up.

Ming Hu, oriented by the map, put the map in his inventory. He turned to Deren, who was looking at him.

“Thank you.”

“No, I’m more grateful to you because you’ve enabled me to take care of my nemesis, Lamphere. I will not forget this.”

[Increases your intimacy with Deren the Water Dragon].

After Deren finished speaking, the Raise Affinity message appeared again. Ming Hu looked away from the message and opened his mouth.

“I’ve got to go. See you later.”

After speaking to Deren, Ming Hu turned and began to walk away.

“Wait.”

It was then. As soon as Ming Hu started walking, Deren called out to him.

“…?”

Ming Hu stopped walking at Deren’s call, turned around to look at Deren, and Deren opened his mouth to speak.

“For your information, Letos’ skin is harder and tougher than Lamphere’s. It also has the ability to deflect incoming attacks. If you’re careful with that, you should be able to win.”

Deren summoned Ming Hu to tell him of Letos’ abilities, which he would soon face. Ming Hu opened his mouth to thank Deren for explaining the abilities of the Letos he was about to capture.

“Oh, thank you…”

“Wait a minute.

But Ming Hu paused mid-sentence as a sudden thought struck him, and he continued with a puzzled expression.

“Is he a kraken, too?”

“Yes.”

Deren nodded in agreement at Myung-Hoo’s question.
