The Count’s Youngest Son Is A Player - Chapter 170

Episode 170

The golden box that was spinning in the air exploded, and what took its place was a necklace with three red, green, and blue beads.

Just looking at it, it felt different from the previous items as it had a flowing charm.

Raoul was a little excited and activated his analysis skill to examine the necklace.

[Song of Three Souls]

Rarity: Unique

Grade: S

Effect: Spiritual power recovery speed +50%

Special effect: You can store 3 types of superpowers in advance and then use them.

Description: A necklace made from a piece of the soul of an ancient psychic. Spiritual power recovery speeds up thanks to the guidance of ancient spirits.

In addition, it stores three different superpowers and activates them automatically when the owner desires or when pre-set conditions are met.

“wow!”

Raoul let out an exclamation and carefully touched the necklace with trembling hands.

After hearing Raul’s explanation, Ravel and Cardenas also showed admiring expressions.

While working as Bae Do-hyeon in my past life, I used numerous items, but there were only a few superpower items that had this level of effect.

The option to increase spiritual power recovery speed, which is a basic effect, was almost essential for people with psychic abilities.

It is a super power that is quick to activate and has good power, but one drawback is that it lacks durability in combat.

The mana used by knights and wizards was spread widely in the air.

Therefore, many of the various mana techniques and skills included methods of recovering mana by absorbing it in the air during battle.

On the other hand, the spiritual power, which is the basis of the abilities of psychics, had to wait for natural recovery from within rather than being absorbed from the outside.

Although some evil supernatural powers involved stealing other people’s souls, it was not a commonly used means.

So in the end, it was not easy for those with superpowers to fully demonstrate their abilities on the battlefield.

‘If your spiritual power is depleted, you are defenseless. Of course I am different.’

It was also sad that using limited spiritual power as efficiently as possible was the standard that distinguished skilled psychics.

So, no matter what anyone says, the number one item that people with psychic abilities want is an item related to spiritual power.

Items with options such as increased spiritual power, increased recovery speed, and reduced spiritual power usage were not only incomparably more expensive than items for other occupations, but were not even traded due to lack of quantity.

The increase in spiritual power recovery speed that Bae Do-hyeon in his previous life had accumulated over a decade was about 120%, showing how great the value of this item was.

‘And special effects! ‘This is really an option for me, right?’

Player skill slots were limited.

The only way to use those limited skills most efficiently was to deploy the most powerful and frequently used skills.

However, there are some skills that are absolutely necessary even if you use them only occasionally.

A special move that uses up both physical strength and spiritual power.

An evasion device that can save your life in urgent moments.

A difficult technique that requires a lot of time and great concentration to activate.

How fraudulent is it that you can keep these things as insurance?

In terms of magic, it would be a similar concept to memorize (save) or magic scroll.

The difference is that it can be saved regardless of the type and level of the superpower. And you can keep refilling it without any cost.

For reference, Memorize magic had limits on the number and circle of magic that could be stored depending on the wizard’s level.

And not only were the magic scrolls ridiculously expensive, but it was not easy to obtain the GoCircle magic scroll itself.

‘In addition, the automatic activation function when conditions are specified is good.’

Skills that are activated automatically at urgent moments in a combat situation can certainly be of great help.

And most of all, what captured Raoul’s heart was that he could imbue any superpower into it.

Numerous superpower skills currently dormant in the skill book.

If you select and designate the necessary items in advance, how many different uses would you be able to use?

Clearly, this necklace had value beyond uniqueness.

“How long are you going to be looking at the necklace like that?”

Ravel’s harsh voice woke Raoul up.

Maybe he’s upset because he can’t find a good magic item, but what can you do? The item has already come out like this.

Unlike the two items he threw into his inventory without hesitation, Raoul carefully put on the necklace and tucked it into his shirt.

I don’t know if it was my mood, but I felt like my mind became clearer.

“Now then, shall we check the other rewards?”

Raoul’s voice was relaxed, perhaps because he had already obtained one item he liked.

The second reward was titles.

[Title – Proven Superpower]

Grade: A

Effect: Superpower power +10%

[Title – Proven Warrior] The three title effects, including [Title – Proven Wizard], were equally powerful +10% for each series. .

These percentage-increasing titles could not be anything other than great income, as their effects became more frightening as they were accumulated.

And the additional title I gained was:

[Title – First Graduate]

Grade: A

Effect: Experience gained as quest reward +20% to monetary coins

‘As expected, it’s ambiguous.’

It was not a battle-related title, but a title that added rewards.

There is nothing wrong with it, but it feels disappointing for an A-grade title.

In particular, in Raoul’s case, it didn’t seem like he would feel it much because he wasn’t mainly active on quests.

“Even God is capricious. “Why does he give this power to strangers who are not his children?…”

Cardenas, who was momentarily impressed by the various titles given to Raoul, showed a slightly dark look.

This is because I had already heard enough about the Connect system from Raoul and Ravel, so I knew that this was a device for players.

Of course, unlike Raul, Ravel and Cardenas thought of the Connect System as a kind of divine power.

Anyway, it seemed to bother me that such huge rewards and powers were only given to players who were not Connect residents.

“Master, don’t worry too much. God takes care of them because they are weak people who would be of no help to us without His help. And am I not here to prove that God’s protection is not only given to them?”

Although not all Connect residents benefited from the system, it was true that many people, including the First Guild, were benefiting because of Raoul.

Moreover, if Raul had not been there, Ravel and Cardenas would have disappeared without anyone knowing.

“okay. There must be a reason why he chose you over those shy guys. “Keep moving forward so that you can walk your path without giving in until the end.”

Cardenas patted Raul on the shoulder and regained his peace.

“Then let’s check the final reward.”

The reward window that Raoul had closed appeared in front of him.

The things he most expected and desperately wanted to obtain finally appeared.

-The additional goal of [Event Quest: Defeat the Instructor (Superpower)] has been achieved.

-Additional compensation: Dedicated skill effects can be strengthened. Please select one of the options.

1)*Telekinesis [Power] Growth – Increases the total amount of movement that can be done with telekinesis by 2.5 times.

2)*Telekinetic [Control] Growth – Increases the number of objects that can be controlled at once by 2.5 times.

3) [Range] growth of telekinetic power – Increases the detection range and spiritual power projection range by 1.5 times.

4) Growth of Flicker – Upgrade B-grade Flicker to A-grade.

5) Growth of fast movement – Upgrade B grade fast movement to A grade.

6) Growth of gravitational field – Upgrades the (B-) grade gravitational field to (A-) grade.

Note〉 *Mark is an option that has already been strengthened once, so the effect is halved.

Raoul didn’t think twice.

“Choose number 3)!”

Although the strengthening effect was only half that of an S-class hero, it was still a huge effect.

The reason we recently chose power and control over range was because we took this event into consideration.

‘It’s natural to strengthen certain main skills rather than several clumsy abilities.’

With this, Raoul’s telekinesis range exceeded 100m.

Now, we have secured a distance that allows not only defense against long-distance attacks but also counterattack to some extent.

If his telekinesis mastery reaches advanced levels, Raoul could literally become a ruler of the realm.

‘Of course, we need to secure a sufficient amount of spiritual energy.’

Although he surpassed his previous life’s spiritual power in a year and a half through the Quercus meditation method, he was still far from reaching the level he dreamed of.

So, if I had the chance, I planned to look for a spiritual altar or artifact that could increase my total spiritual power, which I was unable to obtain in my previous life.

First of all, strengthening superpowers has been completed, and now only close combat and magic strengthening remain.

Faaat.

In the changed hologram window, close combat-related enhancement options are listed.

1) Infinity Sword’s [Efficiency] Growth – The amount of mana required to use mana-related skills is reduced by 20%.

2) Infinity Sword’s [Speed] Growth – Swordsmanship speed increases by 10%.

3) Infinity Sword’s [destructive power] growth – The destructive power of swordsmanship increases by 10%.

4) Ashton Household Appliance Swordsmanship [Technique] Growth – The sophistication of swordsmanship increases by 10%.

5) Physical ability [strength] increases – strength increases by 5%.

6) Physical ability [agility] increases – Agility increases by 5%.

‘hmm.’

Raoul’s expression was serious as he looked at the options.

Honestly, I had no idea what to choose.

Considering the increase in overall basic ability, I focused on physical ability, and from a technical perspective, it seemed like the right choice to choose the Infinity Sword.

Of course, the option to strengthen the family’s swordsmanship is also mouth-watering.

“Master. “Which one should I choose?”

Raoul looked at Cardenas with a slightly troubled expression.

But surprisingly, Cardenas was concerned about something other than options.

“Raul. It’s already been more than half a year since I’ve been with you. “I’ve been thinking a lot about your fighting style.”

Raul became very nervous as Cardenas’ tone suddenly became serious.

“I don’t think it is right to force you to grow up as a prosecutor unless you are following the path of a general prosecutor. So let me ask you something. Raoul, what do you think you lack most?”

Raoul could not answer his teacher’s question right away.

His main fighting skills are telekinesis and swordsmanship. However, depending on the situation, various weapons, supernatural powers, and sometimes even magic have been used.

Among them, it was difficult to get a sense of what was most lacking and what the teacher was trying to say.

“Honestly, there are so many things I think are lacking, so I don’t know how to answer.”

Cardenas nodded at Raul’s words as if he deserved it.

“okay. I didn’t mean to hear the correct answer. “Then let me tell you what I think.”

Cardenas said, looking down at his sword.

“I have lived my whole life looking at only one sword. I have tried to achieve everything that can be done with a sword. But that path doesn’t suit you.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“Telekinesis. A gift and talent from God. As long as that exists, you don’t have to and shouldn’t walk the same path as me.”

Cardenas pulled out his sword and lightly unfolded the Infinity Sword.

In the endlessly changing combination of sword techniques, there were secrets of attack and secrets of defense, and it seemed to contain everything that a sword can show, sometimes quickly, sometimes seriously, sometimes lightly.

I thought that was what perfect swordsmanship meant.

“I created as balanced a sword technique as possible to do everything with just one sword. But don’t you have telekinesis that can supplement many things besides swordsmanship? In that case, we should focus on what only swordsmanship can achieve, not telekinesis.”

“That’s what you said.”

“Raul. In my opinion, what you lack the most is ‘decisiveness’. A powerful shot that can decide the game. “I can’t find it in your battles.”

“…!”

To be honest, it was something Raoul had never thought about.

Not only had he never been able to defeat him during a battle so far, but I also thought that the combination of his skills would produce enough destructive power.

“To be honest, I think you’ve been very lucky so far. No, you must have led the battle situation like that. But think about it carefully. “Have you ever had a serious, life-threatening battle with a powerful person or a threatening enemy who could overwhelm you?”

The battle so far flashed through Raoul’s mind.

But the teacher was not wrong.

In most battles, Raoul faced his enemies confident of victory after already creating a winning situation.

On the good side, it was a strategic victory, but on the bad side, it meant that we were only dealing with weak enemies.

“Of course, with your abilities, you may never find yourself in such a dangerous situation in the future. But what would you do if you faced such an overwhelming enemy? If you only had one chance to attack, what would be the best move you could make?”

Raoul bit his lip without realizing it.
