Several Gatekeepers encounter a Minotaur mutant. The battle lasted quite a long time, but most of the people rolled around on the floor as if the outcome had already been decided.

“Rek! Come to your senses, Rec!”

Cornered, Lek tried to attack the Minotaur mutants but was hit by ultrasonic waves, and some suffered burns all over their bodies after being hit by fireballs. Gatekeepers who have begun to become the fathers of a single monster.

‘Why on earth…we’ve fought monsters countless times…but this can’t be happening…’

When working with Leos, a member of the Gate Management Headquarters, they participated in a tremendous number of raids. Leos was with him almost everywhere he went and killed monsters. Therefore, the current overwhelming defeat was something that could not be understood.

‘It doesn’t make sense for us to lose… no matter how much of a mutant monster we are…’

Rek gasped and denied the current situation. Because Leos took down mutant monsters without any hesitation.

Reck kept trying to deny it, but he had no choice but to admit one fact.

‘The two are on a different level… The level of normal monsters and mutant monsters…’

The man looked blankly at the mutant Minotaur. When I made eye contact with it, it grinned like a human and started creating fireballs.

“Ah…I don’t want to die…please…please…”

The man said that and started to step back. However, it is virtually impossible to escape from this distance while being injured.

The moment Rek finally closed his eyes.

-Quaang!

A huge sound of something exploding was heard. Rek looked at his own body.

‘Why…why is my body fine?’

I definitely expected my limbs to explode, but my hands and legs were all fine. Only then did the man raise his head and face the scene before him.

“Enas…?”

The explosion sound just now was none other than the sound of Enas rushing into the fireball and colliding with it. Lek screamed as if screaming.

“Enas! Enas! Answer me! Enas!!!”

But instead of answering, she threw the dagger at the Minotaur.

“Gagging…Gagging…”

A dagger that accurately hit the Minotaur’s mouth. The other head tried to shoot a fireball, but Enas crossed his arms on both sides, blocked his face with an X, and rushed forward.

It was crazy. It is inconceivable to use one’s body to block a fireball of such extreme heat that it threatens to melt the entire earth. However, this unbelievable scene was happening right in front of my eyes.

“Come to your senses! Join us quickly!”

As Enas spoke, Rek quickly got up and started running forward. Belin, Kozaric, and other gatekeepers who had fallen nearby also joined in. The mutant minotaur resisted fiercely and swung its body around, but there was nothing more it could do since it could no longer use ultrasonic waves and even if it fired a fireball, it would be immediately blocked. In the end, after continuing to fight to the death, Enas plunged his sword into the place where the man’s magic stone was.

“Heo Eok…Heo Eok…Heo Eok…”

Enas muttered while taking a deep breath.

“I did it…really…the information was true…”

As she stared blankly at the fallen Minotaur, other members of the Gatekeeper Management Center gathered around her and began praising her for her boldness.

“Enas, what on earth did you do? What kind of artifact did you use? How can you use that flame magic with your body…”

Rek, who was about to say that, stopped speaking when he saw Enas’ arm. Because there were huge burn marks on her arms.

“No way…did you really just block it with your body? How…?”

Characteristics of Minotaur Mutant Fireball. The longer the fireball travels, the greater the damage. What this means is that you can minimize damage by putting your body as close as possible to the head of the Minotaur that is spewing fireballs. But even so, of course it was not possible to block it without causing any damage.

Enas held his burning arm and spoke to those around him.

“For now…let’s go back…because everyone survived…”

“Brother! Is today finally the day?”

“Leos! Is it finally today?”

Even though Bendict was always noisy, today even Herecia next to him started shouting at Leos in an excited voice. It wasn’t something I couldn’t understand. For her, who is called an ‘artifact fanatic,’ the opportunity to meet high-level artifacts would be more exciting than anything else.

“Wait. Because we will produce it without much fuss.”

After Leos said that, he checked the interrunner window floating in the distance.

[Would you like to purchase the Advanced Artifact Recipe?]

[Points required for purchase: 10,000P]

[Remaining points after purchase: 3,500P]

Leos nodded, looking at the accumulated points again at that moment. Soon after, something like a production book appeared on the distance screen.

[Out of a total of 1,521 types of advanced artifacts, you can obtain materials to create what you want.]

“Oooo! Leos! I! Can I just look around for a moment?!”

Hericia ran in from the side with her cheeks turning red, and Leos gave her a distance gun and spoke.

“Just watch for 10 minutes. Bendict, if you want to see it too, watch it now.”

“I don’t know anything like that, bro! I’ll take a look later when the product comes out!”

Bendict said and took a step back, and Hericia began looking through the list of artifacts for a long time.

“Wow…that’s really crazy…you can make all these things? really…? Leos, what should I do to make my posts more popular? If I save up my points, can I buy this?”

“Don’t think about useless things. Just because you have a production book doesn’t mean you can make everything.”

“Ah…that’s right…”

Advanced Artifact Recipe. You can choose any high-level artifact you want to make, but it is limited to artifacts for which you can obtain materials. For example, artifacts that require materials such as elf tears, which are difficult to come by these days, were virtually impossible to make even if they were in the recipe, and there were several artifacts that were virtually impossible to make.

Leos retrieved the Distance from Hericia again and confirmed the artifacts that could be made.

‘If this is enough, it’s worth making. ‘Because there are some objects nearby that can be caught.’

[Spirel: It flies a long distance and detects nearby creatures. If you have enough mana, you can drop a mana bomb.]

An artifact with performance similar to a modern drone bomb. However, what was clearly different from drones was that there was no need for a separate power source, and there was no distance limit.

It could be moved to any place within the user’s line of sight, and if it had enough mana, it could even drop a huge mana bomb from the sky, so of course it was a high-level artifact that should be made as a top priority when operating in hiding like this.

‘These guys can use this too’

Leos thought several times about what artifacts Bendict and Hericia would need to fight the monsters when he was away from the shelter. But there was one conclusion. It is still impossible to hold and use weapons. In that case, Spirel, which can perform reconnaissance and long-distance interception, is perfect.

“Goes out and comes back.”

Leos said that and returned to the shelter about 5 hours later. In his hands were a lot of corpses of various mutant monsters.

“What is this…? Did you kill them all? No, you need this many ingredients? Most ordinary people wouldn’t be able to make it at all even if they had a recipe…”

Leos ignored Heresia’s main attack and pressed the distance window. When the production button was pressed, external materials began to be sucked into the distance, and eventually the high-level artifact Spirel was created in reality.

‘That’s great.’

Leos thought so and spoke to Hericia.

“Can you put a photography artifact on the front of Hereticia Spirel? So that you can see the distance even if you are far away.”

“It is possible! I’ve already made something, so I’ll give it to you right away!”

After about an hour, Hericia handed the modified Spirel to Leos. When Leos touches the mana, Spirel, recognized as the owner, begins to rise into the air.

‘The screen looks normal. This way, you can look at the outside from the inside. And that too semi-permanently until all mana is consumed.’

I had to recharge my mana every day, but that wasn’t that much of a problem.

“Huh? Leos? But the bombing function is activated on this? Where do you want to use it?”

In response to Hericia’s question, Leos showed her the distance screen.

[I heard the Empire is sending out a separate tracking party to look for someone? They say they’re near the whirlpool and looking around for this and that. Kids, be careful.]

An article posted by someone and photo verification of people who appear to belong to the Empire.

“I got it, so I have to test it. What kind of performance does it have?”
