Chapter 208: Defense Specialist (4)
“Myth... a mythical catalog?”
As Yeongwoo’s eyes widened, chairman Dogo, as if he had known all along, crossed his arms and said.
―The true value of the Bastard lies there.
It was a kind of Dogo-style bluffing, as Yeongwoo, who had been insignificant because he had handed over the Bastard, could open the myth catalog.
“Th-The Myth Catalog... So, it’s a catalog that only registers mythological equipment that you’ll acquire in the future? Will I really get a second myth?”
Yeongwoo said with a humble gesture.
Of course, having obtained a mythical weapon in just a few days after the reset, he had never thought that this would be his first and last myth.
Yeongwoo was born insignificant, but he was a very ambitious and mischievous being for an insignificant person.
And above all.
‘If the chairman considered handing over the Bastard even considering the myth catalog... there must be a reason, right? Like another way to obtain a myth.’
Yeongwoo’s humble demeanor in front of the chairman was precisely because of this.
Myth Catalog.
Isn’t the reason why the chairman gave this to Dogo’s advertising model because there is room for a second, and even a third, myth?
‘Chairman, please give me some answers.’
When Yeongwoo looked at Dogo’s beast-shaped helmet with anticipation, the chairman responded after a while, not in the form Yeongwoo had expected.
―Jeong Yeongwoo07. You already have the second myth in front of you.
“......?”
Yeongwoo tilted his head at the unexpected answer.
“What do you mean? Ah, of course, Chairman, your military class is indeed a mythic existence......”
Yeongwoo was about to say this, but then he suddenly closed his mouth as something crossed his mind.
And then, at the right moment.
Ha.
The chairman spread his arms in a posture that seemed arrogant.
―This body is the myth itself.
‘...Did he make a mistake today?’
But Yeongwoo felt like he knew what the chairman was talking about.
―Even the name of Dogo is written in that catalog.
‘...As expected.’
In other words, the Myth Catalog was not just about equipment, but a conceptual catalog that dealt with everything ‘mythical’.
‘So ultimately, the chairman was just showing off his own achievements. It means being included in the catalog.’
But at the same time.
“Then someone with the Myth Catalog might go hunting for mythical beings like you, Chairman. They could kill myths to fill the catalog...?”
Yeongwoo asked a question that could seem quite absurd, but the chairman, who exuded strength, straightened his shoulders as if proud.
―Indeed. There have been quite a few challengers.
And then, he muttered quietly while adjusting the greatsword at his waist.
―I am also the owner of the Myth Catalog. And today, I filled one slot in the catalog. Finally, that Bastard has found a use as well.
‘...Unbelievable.’
He was referring to the member of council who raised questions about the Bastard’s transfer.
‘With such scoundrels everywhere, how on earth is the order of the universe being maintained?’
As Yeongwoo was thinking this, the current status of the Myth Catalog appeared before his eyes.
〔1〕
The ‘myth’ Yeongwoo had collected so far was only one.
From now on, if he acquires another mythical equipment or defeats a mythical being, he can increase that number one by one.
‘How many myths has the chairman, the crazy king of destruction, collected?’
Without realizing it, Yeongwoo stared blankly at the distorted Dogo full-body armor, then his attention was drawn to the notification messages that appeared one after another.
Swish!
“Huh?”
It was none other than.
【The sword body length is proportional to the user’s height.】
【25% increase in power against targets larger than the user.】
【Ignore 50% of physical damage reduction rate.】
.
.
.
【15% increase in power when using both hands.】
―Look.
Dogo descended slowly for the product demonstration.
Yeongwoo watched as he gradually approached the earth’s surface and the chairman’s toes.
He had never actually ‘landed’ on the earth because he always floated in the air.
Swoosh.
Finally, he descended to a place just 1 meter above the ground, then slowly drew out his sword and lightly scratched the ‘new product’ with its tip.
Sssht!
At that moment.
Crack!
With a fierce friction sound, the metal object, which had been in an oval shape, unfolded widely.
“...Huh?”
Yeongwoo finally realized what this reward was and widened his eyes.
“A cloak... This is a cloak, right?”
Moreover, this cloak was the same product as the one the chairman was currently wearing.
―When you receive a summons someday, you too must wear the “Phase Armor.”
Phase Armor.
The ‘Phase Armor’ given by Dogo using transcendental language was a type of robe.
It was an equipment term that indicated the affiliation, status, and cosmic aspect of the wearer.
Generally, it was made in the form of a cloak, but depending on one’s preference, it could also be a ritual sword, shield, or helmet.
‘Especially when engaging in external activities, wearing Phase Armor is considered a cosmic etiquette. It’s almost essential when entering public institutions...’
For a while, Yeongwoo was unraveling the complex meaning of “Phase Armor,” but he once again paid attention to the chairman’s recent words.
“Chairman, but when they say ‘summoned’ in space... it’s usually not for good, right?”
For example, like when the chairman was summoned by the committee.
‘Even if you haven’t paid taxes, you’ll probably be ordered to appear at the relevant agency...’
Dogo didn’t deny this.
―That’s right. So you should pay even more attention to cosmic etiquette and prepare for unavoidable choices.
“Unavoidable choices...?”
As Yeongwoo echoed the chairman’s words like a parrot, Dogo looked up at the sky again.
But this time.
Poof!
It was to ascend into the sky.
As usual, it was about to leave as soon as it finished its business here.
“Ch-chairman! What do you mean by unavoidable choices you just mentioned? Chairman!”
As Yeongwoo shouted while looking at Dogo, his commanding voice echoed from the sky.
—Remember Dogo’s business philosophy. I am Dogo, the King of Destruction, the one born on the battlefield, the master of the Hundred Thousand Swords Mountain,「Dogo」...!
‘What the heck... What is he saying?’
While Yeongwoo was frowning, the giant chain connecting the chairman’s tombstone to the anchor began to be sucked up into the sky.
Swish, swish, swish, swish!
Dogo began its voyage back into the vast universe.
“Chairman! Stay healthy...!”
Since he had to see them off anyway, Yeongwoo waved his arms into the air.
Then, the Seoul Strongest Swords, who had been listening to their conversation blankly, also waved their hands awkwardly.
Especially Gwanak Strongest Sword Jo Sangik.
“...Yeongwoo seems to have a tough life as well.”
Watching the gigantic tombstone of the “New Humanity,” disappear beyond the sky, he licked his lips in admiration.
Poof!
And in the place where the chairman had left.
“......”
Dogo’s special cloak, the reward for killing Kim Jong-un, remained.
“A cloak that allows you to prepare for unavoidable choices...?”
Now that the chairman had left, it was time to open the gift.
Yeongwoo immediately reached out and touched the black cloak.
Tap.
