Level 2 Player
White Drake (3)
‘Holy Barrier.’
Kwaaaaaang!
With a loud explosion, the White Drake’s Ice Breath and the Holy Barrier collided head-on.
‘Is it because the skill level is low that the mana consumption is larger than thought.’
But it didn’t matter.
‘Because I have overflowing amounts of mana.’
Jin-su’s body is one yet two.
The stats of the dark-type and holy-type exist separately. The same goes for the consumed Stamina and Mana stats.
Simply put, even if stamina and mana have bottomed out while using the dark-type status window.
‘It means that if you switch to the holy-type status window, stamina and mana are full.’
But switching the status window one more time here is of no use.
‘Because the stamina and mana of the inactive status window maintain the state from the last time it was activated.’
No matter how much time passes, it doesn’t automatically recover.
‘Moreover, injuries don’t disappear either.’
If injured while in the dark-type status window, even if you switch to the holy-type status window, that injury remains as is.
‘If the level of the Status Window Switch skill rises, there will be changes.’
Mana and stamina might automatically recover while inactive, or perhaps the status window switch might distinguish the state of the body and injuries might disappear.
‘Well, in the end, it’s something that can only be known by growing the blessings more.’
Hwareureuk!
Jin-su executed multiple fire-attribute attack skills that could be said to be the White Drake’s natural counter.
Shushushushuk!
Hundreds of fire arrows filled with a great deal of mana flew toward the White Drake all at once.
Kwaaaaaaaang!
The White Drake’s body that was already in a tattered state instantly fell to a ragged level.
“Kuaaaaang!”
The White Drake charged toward Jin-su in a state covered in blood and full of burns. It was a speed that a player with a general mage class could absolutely not dodge.
Hwiik!
But just because Jin-su’s class changed from warrior-type to mage-type, the Strength, Agility, Stamina, and Durability stats didn’t drop. Jin-su who lightly dodged the White Drake’s attack swung the staff with all his might.
Hwiik!
The staff, a mage exclusive weapon, struck the White Drake’s head like a blunt weapon.
Kwajijik!
The staff Jin-su swung broke the White Drake’s horn, and not only that, shattered the scales protecting the head into pieces and struck the skull.
“Kyaaaaak!”
As if hit by the attack of a warrior focused on strength using a blunt weapon, the White Drake’s enormous head was powerlessly driven into the ground.
Kuuuuung!
‘Even if the class changes, my stats remain the same.’
Jin-su was an existence who possessed the strength of a warrior, the agility of an assassin, and the stamina and durability stats of a tanker even while being a mage.
“Kuwoeoeoek!”
The White Drake fired all kinds of magic attack skills toward Jin-su as if in a final struggle.
Taak!
Jin-su quickly moved, dodging the White Drake’s magic attack skills while using attack skills.
Hwiik!
As if it had been waiting for that moment, the White Drake swung the front paw with intact fingers.
Jin-su didn’t dodge. Rather, he swung the staff with all his might.
Kwadeudeudeuk!
The moment the White Drake’s fingers with sharp claws collided with the staff Jin-su swung, they broke as is.
“You’re really persistent. Die already.”
Hwareureureuk!
Jin-su took out a new staff from the inventory and charged toward the White Drake while spraying attack skills as if to consume the remaining mana all at once.
Kwaaaaang! Kwaaaaang! Kwaaaaang!
Jin-su gripped the staff with both hands and swung with all his might toward the head of the White Drake whose scales were melting and muscles were burning from being hit by the attack magic skills.
Kwajijijik!
The staff Jin-su swung shattered the White Drake’s head.

At that moment, enormous rewards poured out. The moment the flood of rewards ended.
[Blessing of Hwangsin has grown.]
[Blessing of Hongsin has grown.]
...omitted...
The blessings that had swallowed the titles grew consecutively rather than once for the first time in a long while.
‘Let’s see.’
Jin-su confirmed the state of the blessings. The increase width of buffs like attack power or defense grew from 22.2% to 32.2%.
That wasn’t the end.
‘It didn’t change but increased.’
-The levels of 22 class active skills are fixed at 122.
-The levels of 22 class passive skills are fixed at 122.
This was the blessing that arose this time.
The blessings received before didn’t disappear.
-The levels of 2 class active skills are fixed at 22.
-The levels of 2 class passive skills are fixed at 22.
They existed as is.
‘Fortunate.’
Jin-su’s face brightened.
The problem he worried about the most disappeared.
‘I’ll need to test to confirm exactly.’
The fact that a completely new blessing arose and a separate number of uses arose?
‘First, it means that the skills that were previously grown to Level 22 don’t automatically become Level 122.’
Also, the probability was high that the skills previously grown to Level 22 weren’t the only targets for Level 122 skill level fix.
‘Also, the blessings that arise from growing in the future will follow the same pattern.’
Although some testing is needed...
‘From now on, there’s no need to save the level fix stacks anymore.’
About 22 uses of Level 122 skill level fix could be used right away without issue.
‘Because the existing blessings don’t change but new ones arise.’
If the blessings grow, Level 222 skill fix or Level 322 skill fix will newly arise, and the number of uses will also increase in the same way. Probably the item skill level fix will be the same.
‘From now on, I’ll use them freely.’
A smile full of satisfaction bloomed at the corners of Jin-su’s mouth.
***
‘He really caught it.’
Shin Su-a’s mouth opened wide.
After consuming all mana and using the Sanctuary skill to enter inside, there was nothing Shin Su-a could do. Only cheering for Jin-su with all her might was all Shin Su-a could do.
But Jin-su excellently utilized the Sanctuary skill Shin Su-a had deployed in combat. And in the end, he defeated the enormously huge and powerful monster. Also, Shin Su-a received benefits by chance.

Shin Su-a’s contribution was only 2%. Naturally, the titles she received were also downgraded versions of the titles Jin-su received, and compared to the grand names, the option effects were on the quite low side.
Not only that, she only received two skill books as items. She also only received experience points equal to the 2% contribution.
‘It’s all thanks to Jin-su.’
Shin Su-a didn’t think it was regrettable or a waste.
No, she couldn’t even think of such a thought in the first place.
‘I didn’t even help much. To receive rewards like this.’
Shin Su-a felt sorry and grateful to Jin-su.
‘But how did he use mage skills?’
At the same time, a question arose. How could Jin-su, a warrior, use mage skills? And if he could use them, why didn’t he use them until now?
All kinds of curiosity surged, but Shin Su-a firmly closed her mouth. She had no intention of asking in the future either.
‘I don’t want to be hated. I don’t want to be abandoned.’
Shin Su-a is forced by the Mana Contract so even if she knows Jin-su’s secret, she is in a position where she can’t go around blabbing. But she didn’t want to open her mouth just relying on that and to satisfy curiosity only to become hated by Jin-su.
“Now release the Sanctuary skill.”
Jin-su who had collected the loot that came out after the White Drake’s corpse disappeared said to Shin Su-a.
“Okay.”
Shin Su-a quickly released the Sanctuary skill.
“Now let’s return to the village.”
“Yeah.”
Shin Su-a answered with a smile at Jin-su’s words.
***
‘The side income is quite substantial.’
The White Drake had massacred players in large numbers. And in the places where they died, all kinds of items like skill books, class change books, and equipment remained.
Jin-su swept up all the abandoned items using the inventory.
‘It would be good if there’s something usable.’
If not, just selling them at the auction house is enough. More important than that was the reward obtained today.
‘Ice Dragon Mage.’
Although it was a class change book that came out from catching a lesser dragon not a true dragon, its value was quite high at the current point.
‘Moreover, since it’s also holy-type, it should be fine to use for a while.’
Jin-su chose to change class to Ice Dragon Mage.
[Using Class Change Book - Ice Dragon Mage.]
[You have changed class to Ice Dragon Mage.]
[Mana stat and Mental Power stat rise significantly.]
[Stats have decreased.]
‘Yeah, I knew they would decrease.’
He didn’t expect it from the start.
‘Most of the class skills are ice-attribute.’
Ice-attribute magic skills are on the side of having lower area attack power than fire-attribute magic skills.
‘Instead, single attack power is higher.’
Jin-su made the levels of 10 class skills 122.
‘The remaining 10, I’ll decide after looking around the auction house once.’
If there is a higher dark-type warrior class, he intended to change class and invest, and if not, invest in Blood Demon Swordsman.
‘Blood Demon Swordsman is also quite usable.’
Especially the synergy with the Bloodsucking Sword was extremely good.
‘Dragon Tooth Soldier Summon.’
One of the skill books obtained this time, it was a mage exclusive skill that converts dragon teeth into soldiers and summons them.
‘It’s a bit ambiguous.’
Not only the skill level but it was a skill whose combat power is divided depending on whose tooth the material was.
‘It would be better to learn this too.’
There were 12 of the White Drake’s teeth received as reward after hunting, so it was possible to use right away. Also, if he hunts a true dragon later, it seemed he could obtain quite powerful Dragon Tooth Soldiers.
‘If it was a general White Drake’s tooth, the performance of the Dragon Tooth Soldier would drop.’
What Jin-su has is the tooth of the White Drake first hunted on Floor 50. As much as it possesses that much achievement, a reasonably powerful Dragon Tooth Soldier will be born.
‘Well, even so, it’s only a lower compatibility of the Shadow Summon skill.’
No matter how strong the Dragon Tooth Soldier is, it couldn’t surpass the Shadow Summons that copy Jin-su’s stats and blessings.
Moreover, the Dragon Tooth Soldier skill had a clear limit unless he later changed class to summoner, one of the mage-type classes. But right now, having it was unconditionally better than not having it.
‘Anyway, it’s a mage exclusive skill that only mage-types can learn, and the holy-type mage class status window doesn’t have summon-type skills either.’
While changing class and learning skills, Jin-su and Shin Su-a arrived at the village.
“First, let’s go to the lodging and eat.”
Because he had hunted the White Drake and far exceeded dinner time, he was quite hungry.
‘If I fully recover stamina and mana, I’ll return to the lodging which is a safe zone and switch the status window.’
Only then could he recover the stamina and mana of the empty dark-type status window.
‘I also need to fill the Shadow Summons’ cooldown.’
While the status window is inactive, the cooldowns of possessed skills don’t decrease either.
“Huh?”
At that time, Shin Su-a who was going together showed a slightly surprised expression upon seeing someone.
