The Return of the Legendary All-Master – 81



Chapter 81

Jeong-Hoon was so dumbfounded that he couldn’t even speak.

[Take it off right now?! You’re not worthy of wearing something as insignificant as me you bug!]

‘It’s a bit ferocious so I sealed it.’

So that’s what he meant.

But this wasn’t ferocious it was just rude.

“Shut up.”

Sorry but he can be rude too.

Depending on who he’s dealing with of course.

[Ha how did I end up being talked down to by such an idiot? This is all because of that bastard Siegfried. Where is Siegfried? Huh? Where is he? Tell me now!]

Mukho started to throw a tantrum.

Since the voice was echoing in his head Jeong-Hoon felt a headache.

“You’re hopeless.”

He understood that Mukho might have resentment after being sealed by Siegfried for so long but he wanted to get rid of this headache first.

Jeong-Hoon took off Mukho.

Mukho’s voice disappeared as if it had been washed away.

===

[Sealed Mukho]

-Type: Armor

-Grade: Epic

-(Sealed)

-(Conditions are required to unseal it.)

===

The stats were still sealed.

Only when Mukho accepted Jeong-Hoon as its owner would the seal placed by Siegfried be naturally released.

“Let’s just tear it apart.”

Jeong-Hoon growled lowly looking at Mukho.

There were times when you had to suppress someone with force if they didn’t understand words.

Now was that time.

‘It’ll probably take something like Anima to damage it.’

If it was difficult to tame he would just get rid of it.

Jeong-Hoon took out Anima and put on Mukho again.

“I’m going to tear you apart now.”

“Who?”

Anima was naturally summoned and perched on Jeong-Hoon’s shoulder.

“The clothes I’m wearing now.”

“Aha. Where did you get those rags? Take them off they’re ugly.”

[Ugly? Your lizard eyes are the ugly ones.]

Mukho’s target shifted to Anima.

Anima’s eyes widened.

“Oh the clothes can talk?”

[Clothes? Hahaha! You can’t possibly recognize my nobility with those candy-like eyes.]

Anima as if it wasn’t even worth responding to grinned at Jeong-Hoon and said

“Hoon shoot about 100 arrows into it.”

“I was thinking the same thing.”

[Huh? You don’t think you can do anything to me with arrows do you?]

Mukho scoffed.

“Why not?”

Jeong-Hoon smiled and carelessly threw Mukho on the floor.

Then he casually pulled Anima’s bowstring and shot at Mukho.

The mana arrow accurately pierced Mukho.

“One shot isn’t enough.”

Anima said with a serious face.

“I know.”

Jeong-Hoon pulled the bowstring again and shot at Mukho.

One shot two shots three shots four shots.

After more than ten shots Mukho’s sleeve fluttered slightly.

Was it a sign to stop?

He slowly lowered the bowstring and approached Mukho pulling out the arrows that were stuck in it.

The mana arrows disappeared without a trace.

‘Let’s see…’

Jeong-Hoon put Mukho back on.

[Aaagh! Stop it! Stop!]

Mukho’s screams echoed in his head.

“Oh you’re being noisy again.”

Anima who had been quietly listening on Jeong-Hoon’s shoulder frowned.

“It hasn’t been educated enough yet.”

“I agree.”

“Let’s shoot 20 more arrows and continue talking.”

As Jeong-Hoon was about to take off Mukho a hurried voice echoed in his head.

[Talk! Let’s talk!]

At the request Jeong-Hoon stopped pretending to take it off.

“Talk good.”

“Tsk we should have done more.”

Anima showing its disappointment climbed onto Jeong-Hoon’s head.

[Grrr candy eyes. Don’t get cocky.]

“Cocky? Know your place.”

[You look like yellow pee.]

“What?! Pee? You’re worse than ink.”

[Hahaha at least I don’t smell like pee. Just look at your size. If I get close you’ll probably smell like goblin armpit sweat.]

“Hoon! Fuck this bastard up! Fuck him up!”

As the argument quickly escalated into a fight Jeong-Hoon quickly intervened.

“Stop it. You want me to shoot 100 arrows into you?”

[Sh… It’s strange. Why does it hurt? What the hell did you do to me?]

Mukho quickly became obedient as if it was in considerable pain.

As they say the rod is the medicine for a madman.

The wisdom of our ancestors is truly amazing.

“I don’t know. Anyway I’m trying to tame you.”

[Ha you? Tame the great me?]

“If you don’t like it I’ll throw you into the fireplace.”

Siegfried had said that Mukho had a will of its own so even if the robe was torn or burned it would recover quickly.

That meant it had the ability to automatically repair its durability.

But now all its abilities were sealed.

As proof Mukho was now tattered from being an arrow target.

[Fire…?]

Mukho’s voice trembled slightly as if it was anxious.

“Yes. You’re currently sealed from all your abilities. So if you get burned you’ll be destroyed.”

[Destroy me?!]

“If I can’t tame you it’s better to get rid of you.”

He meant it.

It didn’t have to be Mukho. He could just replace it with another piece of armor.

As if sensing Jeong-Hoon’s sincerity Mukho added in a hurried voice

[You’ll regret it if you destroy me?! I’m Mukho! Mukho!]

“I might regret it a little. But it’s okay.”

[…Don’t lie. A human full of desire can’t help but be greedy when they see me!]

“It’s also troublesome to have too much self-love.”

Jeong-Hoon smiled bitterly.

“Hoon are you really going to burn it? I’m all for it.”

Anima smiled brightly.

“If it doesn’t acknowledge me as its owner I’ll have to.”

[If I acknowledge you as my owner?]

“Then the seal will be released and you won’t be destroyed right?”

[…Alright. I’ll accept you as my owner.]

Mukho said as if resigning itself.

Then the tattered Mukho began to shine golden and golden stripes were engraved all over the black robe.

[Mukho’s seal is released.]

[You have become the owner of Mukho.]

===

[Mukho]

-Type: Armor

-Grade: Legendary

-Defense: ? (Adjusted according to the wearer’s level)

-Evasion: ? (Adjusted according to the wearer’s level)

-Physical Damage Reduction: 15%

-Magic Damage Reduction: 15%

-Remaining Durability: 100% (Durability recovers automatically.)

-Special Ability (1): X (Ability lost due to the aftermath of the seal)

-Special Ability (2): X (Ability lost due to the aftermath of the seal)

-Special Ability (3): X (Ability lost due to the aftermath of the seal)

===

However Mukho’s stats were not very good unworthy of its Legendary grade.

It had lost most of its abilities because it had been sealed for so long.

[Kyaaa! What are these meager options?]

Mukho screamed.

It seemed quite shocked.

On the other hand Jeong-Hoon was very calm.

‘I can restore it later.’

If it was lost he could just restore it.

Of course Mukho who didn’t know that was making a fuss.

How did Siegfried even manage to carry this guy around?

If it wasn’t Legendary he might have just thrown it to another martial artist.

“You’re so noisy. Be quiet!”

Anima shouted.

[Shut up! Do you know how I feel? Do you know how I feel trapped in clothes and losing even the little bit of stats I had left?!]

“How could I not? I was originally a dragon too.”

[…You’re trapped too?]

“Well you could say it’s similar.”

[…]

Mukho shut its mouth.

Did it feel a sense of camaraderie?

“Anyway it’s time to go ba…”

As Jeong-Hoon was about to turn around a record wrapped in red cloth caught his eye.

It also had Siegfried’s name on it.

But there was only one sheet of paper inside.

-If you’ve unsealed Mukho you’ll be able to see the writing on the first line. Take this paper with you. I’ll tell you how to restore Mukho’s abilities.

It seemed to be written in special ink.

Jeong-Hoon put the paper in his inventory.

[Whisper/Minzi -> Hoon: Jeong-Hoon! Do you have some time? The guild leader really wants to see you…]

As soon as he came out of the Mu Tower he had a whisper from Yeo Min-Ji.

‘That’s to be expected. My mother even got a hidden class.’

Jeong-Hoon who had temporarily joined Ho-Yeong readily agreed.

The place was a cafe near his house.

There were too many eyes watching them to meet inside the game.

‘I’ve rented out the entire cafe so let’s meet there.’

Yeo Sunwoo had even rented out the entire cafe.

Thanks to that the cafe’s tables were all empty.

When Jeong-Hoon and his mother entered the cafe Yeo Min-Ji who had arrived earlier greeted them warmly.

“I’m sorry for calling you out so suddenly.”

“It’s okay. The guild leader is your father right?”

His mother smiled and waved her hand.

Yeo Min-Ji blushed and nodded.

“Yes that’s right. I’ll be by your side so that no strange rumors spread so don’t worry.”

“Okay.”

The three of them took their seats and soon after Yeo Sunwoo entered the cafe.

‘They look alike.’

Yeo Sunwoo looked to be in his early 40s with a small face and sharp features exuding an aura that would make him suitable to be an actor.

Yeo Min-Ji was the spitting image of her father.

Anyone could see that they were father and daughter.

“You’ve arrived early. I hope I’m not late.”

There were still 10 minutes left before the appointed time.

“It’s okay. We just got here too.”

His mother said waving her hand.

“Thank you for your consideration.”

When Yeo Sunwoo also took his seat the cafe owner approached the table with a menu.

“Please let me know if you have any drinks you’d like.”

Normally they would have to go to the counter or use a kiosk to order but since Yeo Sunwoo had rented out the entire cafe the owner came out to take their orders directly.

When his mother and Jeong-Hoon chose Americano it was naturally decided that everyone would have Americano.

“Um… The reason I suddenly asked to meet you is to promise you even better treatment.”

However with her advancement to a hidden class Yeo Sunwoo had no choice but to step up himself.

He didn’t know what kind of contract they had made before but he wanted to promise her something much better.

“You’re going to give us even more?”

His mother looked a little surprised.

She wasn’t able to play with her son yet but she was quite satisfied with the full support she was receiving from Ho-Yeong to enjoy the game.

“Yes. I want to increase the scale of support.”

Support for dungeons suitable for her level equipment and items.

In addition he would give her an additional 500 gold per month and additional rewards depending on her guild contribution.

‘500 gold means 5 million won per month.’

His mother’s eyes widened as if she also knew the value of gold.

“Oh my…”

It was more than her monthly salary.

“Of course that’s the basic compensation. There will be bonuses whenever you participate in guild-related activities.”

His mother couldn’t leave the starting zone yet so there wouldn’t be any bonuses.

However the basic compensation alone exceeded her monthly salary so it was an attractive offer.

“I’d be grateful if you gave it to me.”

“Oh I didn’t explain it properly. If you quit your job we’ll add your original salary to the basic compensation.”

His mother was working and playing the game.

It was quite a tight schedule so if she focused on New World he would compensate her accordingly.

“Hmm…”

She couldn’t help but be conflicted.

She had started the game because she wanted to have the same hobby as her son but now she was completely immersed in New World.

“Wouldn’t it be better to focus on New World at this point?”

He meant that she didn’t have to keep working.

Of course the choice was hers.

Jeong-Hoon knew the future but it was impossible for him to force his mother to do this or that.

Even if she decided to keep working he would respect her choice.

“…Okay. Let’s do it.”

His mother made her decision faster than he expected.

“I’ll make sure you never regret that choice.”

Yeo Sunwoo said confidently and then turned his gaze to Jeong-Hoon.

“Hmm I assume I can get as much support as I want for dungeons and items?”

That was Jeong-Hoon’s focus.

“Of course. Ho-Yeong will promise you the best treatment Jeong-Hoon. Even after you leave the guild.”

One of the conditions Yeo Min-Ji had offered.

It was that Jeong-Hoon could leave the guild whenever he wanted.

“Good. Then I have one favor to ask right now.”
