Chapter 65
Before heading to the hunting ground, the first thing Do-hyeon checked was none other than Thousand Transformations.
It was said to be the relic of Kashiar, who had slaughtered even the Mythical Gods.
However, its humble appearance seemed utterly unbalanced compared to such a grandiose title.
‘Well… still, it’s a relic. There must be something hidden in it.’
Could such an old, worn-out staff truly be a divine relic?
It didn’t seem possible.
Do-hyeon couldn’t erase that thought from his mind.
The moment he checked the information on Thousand Transformations, he was utterly shocked. He hadn’t realized his eyes could widen this much.
[Thousand Transformations]
[Grade: Mythical ]
[Description: A weapon imbued with the authority of Kashiar, the Martial Emperor.
Renowned as the God of War and Combat, he was said to wield and create thousands of weapons.]
[Usage Restriction: Successor of Kashiar]
[Physical Attack: 190~201]
[Durability: 100/100]
[Weapon Consumption: Can consume weapons. It can transform into consumed weapons and use their special options. If the same type of weapon is stored, the previously stored weapon will be ejected.]
[Ego: Responds to its master’s call. Those unqualified cannot use its special options.]
[Due to the user’s low level, its full authority cannot be used.]
[The abilities are adjusted to the user’s level.]
[Transformed weapons have their attack power adjusted to the grade of Thousand Transformations.]
‘…What?’
Even after seeing it with his own eyes, it was hard to believe the name.
‘There was a Mythical grade?’
As far as Do-hyeon knew, there was no such grade as Mythical.
Do-hyeon, who had played DemRock for three years and experienced almost every type of content, had always thought the maximum grade was Legendary.
It was the same in God of Savior.
Even the top-ranking players only wielded Legendary-grade weapons.
There was never any mention of a Mythical grade.
After all, since God of Savior borrowed its grade system from DemRock, this was to be expected.
‘Is this a result of the newly added deity system? Or is it related to the main quest?’
It could be one of the two, or both.
Whatever the case, that wasn’t what mattered right now.
‘This is insane.’
What mattered now was that he had obtained God of Savior’s only Mythical-grade weapon.
In a game with 1 billion players, he alone had it.
Just imagining the uproar this would cause once it became known was mind-boggling.
Not just the top 10 guilds—every player would target Do-hyeon.
Legendary-grade weapons already had astronomical value due to their rarity and abilities.
A Mythical-grade weapon would be like a sacred sword.
‘I knew it wouldn’t be ordinary… but to this extent?’
Even the armaments of Mythical Gods like Hercules or Odin were incredibly powerful, unattainable to most users.
But even then, they only reached the Legendary grade.
None had created a new grade like this.
And even those weapons were rarely given to their Apostles.
They could only be obtained after overcoming extraordinary trials and near-impossible odds.
‘Compared to that, how about me?’
What about Do-hyeon?
All he did was meet the god face-to-face and receive their approval.
Though a single word could have cost him everything, the result was that a single word had granted him a Mythical-grade relic.
‘Ah… you’re truly a divine being. This unworthy successor dares to repent for doubting you….’
The faith that had been scraping the floor suddenly soared.
A local thug?
How could anyone insult such a magnanimous being who casually handed over such a precious relic?
From this moment on, Kashiar was a revered sage and law to Do-hyeon.
‘Of course. They bestowed upon me their authority—it’s only natural.’
There might be hidden Mythical-grade items among the other Mythical Gods, but Do-hyeon was certain Thousand Transformations was unique.
It was an armament containing the god’s authority.
The gods wouldn’t transfer their powers to an Apostle unless they were sealed.
While Thousand Transformations boasted the best performance and attack power among his current items, it wasn’t yet at the level of its Mythical grade.
In fact, it wasn’t even worthy of being called Legendary.
‘It’s just about Heroic grade.’
In truth, even its grade field displayed “Heroic” in parentheses next to Mythical.
It seemed to be the type of item where the seal lifted as the user’s level rose.
‘A kind of growth-type item, huh….’
Technically, it was a sealed item, but the concept was similar.
In other words, Do-hyeon now had a weapon for life.
‘At this level, it’s top-tier even among Heroic-grade weapons.’
Judging by its exceptional performance, it would be the same at the Heroic+ or Legendary grades.
For Do-hyeon, there couldn’t be a better scenario than this.
Since the attack power depended on the grade of Thousand Transformations rather than the consumed items, its grade was the most important.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
‘The weapon consumption function being absorption-based is a bit unfortunate….’
If it worked like copy-and-paste, he could have swept through the auction house for items.
That was a shame.
Only one item per weapon type could be stored… it seemed he would need a variety of weapons to use it properly.
He smirked.
But it didn’t matter.
‘I’m glad I didn’t sell them just in case.’
Do-hyeon still had numerous types of weapons left.
These were weapons he had kept in his inventory to utilize the Weapon Master skill. They were now gleaming in his inventory.
.
.
.
.
After feeding all his inventory weapons to Thousand Transformations and coming to the hunting ground to test its performance, this was the result.
Do-hyeon’s expression, having confirmed the power of Thousand Transformations, was brimming with excitement.
‘This is seriously insane.’
The issue wasn’t just that it could transform into multiple weapons.
The true power of Thousand Transformations lay in its ability to transform at any time, under any circumstance.
Whether during a swing, while grappling with an enemy, or even mid-air, the weapon could transform.
‘This alone multiplies the ways I can execute mind games several times over.’
As someone already superior in psychological tactics compared to others, thanks to his skills as Kaiser…
Adding Thousand Transformations to the mix?
‘I have no doubts…’
This was beyond confidence.
He couldn’t imagine losing.
Dozens of scenarios for utilizing it flashed through his mind.
If this was the power of a sealed relic… what would it be like once all the seals were lifted, and it truly reached its Mythical grade?
Swish.
Do-hyeon shivered and rubbed his goosebumped arm as he swallowed hard.
Even though this alone was enough to prove the power of Thousand Transformations, the part that pleased Do-hyeon the most was something else.
[Ego: Responds to its master’s call. Those unqualified cannot use its special options.]
The second special option attached to Thousand Transformations .
This could be called the ultimate option that marked the climax of Thousand Transformations .
Not only was it something that only Do-hyeon could properly wield, but the fact that it responded to its owner’s summons made further explanation unnecessary.
‘…I’m sold.’
It was convenient to retrieve the thrown Thousand Transformations , and if utilized well, it could be used for deception, not to mention surprise attacks.
But above all, the best part was—
‘This is insanely cool, seriously.’
It resonated with a man’s heart, embodying the romanticism he had dreamed of since childhood.
At this moment, Do-hyeon felt no envy toward Thor or Iron Man.
Whoosh— Thunk.
Swish— Thud.
“Ha!”
Immersed in this romanticism, Do-hyeon repeatedly threw Thousand Transformations into the air and summoned it back.
“What is that? Is that even possible? It’s like Thor’s hammer or something…”
“Wait, didn’t the weapon keep changing? Did I see that wrong?”
“…Yeah, you’re right. Is that part of its options?”
“No way. It doesn’t seem like a characteristic; maybe it’s a unique ability?”
“What kind of unique ability does that?”
“If not, then what the heck is it?”
Hearing the murmurs around him, Do-hyeon paused.
When he glanced around, the users who met his gaze quickly turned their heads.
Though they pretended to be uninterested, their clustered bodies watching him betrayed their curiosity.
‘…What is this, Animal Crossing or something?’
For a moment, he thought of Charlie, as if their reactions reminded him of the past.
With a faint smile, Do-hyeon gripped Thousand Transformations once more.
‘I definitely stood out too much.’
It was understandable.
Even Do-hyeon would have been drawn to someone wielding such a spectacular weapon.
…From their perspective, though, it wasn’t just about looking cool; everything they witnessed was an endless series of shocks.
Regardless, that was Do-hyeon’s interpretation of the situation.
Having shown off enough tricks, he might usually have wrapped things up by now, but not today.
‘I still have plenty to test.’
So far, he had only confirmed the knockback option of Karuk’s Upper Garb and Thousand Transformations.
There were still many rewards, including the S-rank graduation bonus, that needed evaluation.
And that wasn’t all.
He still had to slay a thousand monsters. Retreating now was not an option for the busy Do-hyeon.
Swish.
Gripping Thousand Transformations tightly, Do-hyeon grinned.
‘Let’s start with a light hundred kills.’
This marked the beginning of a massacre in the peaceful (?) Salt-Rock Forest.
—
How much time had passed since he began hunting in earnest?
[Your level has increased.]
[Your dagger proficiency has increased.]
[Your dagger proficiency has reached LV7.]
…
[Your dual-axe proficiency has reached LV5.]
“Oh?”
Do-hyeon paused as messages began appearing after a few hours.
Around him, the ground was littered with orc corpses and drenched in blood.
Just the visible orcs around him numbered over ten.
A feat that others couldn’t accomplish even in a party, Do-hyeon had achieved alone.
“To think I’ve already gained three levels.”
Perhaps it was due to this.
His experience gain was astounding.
Considering how grueling it had been to gain the last three levels in Raven, the gap in difficulty between goblins and orcs was evident.
At the rate Do-hyeon was cutting through the orcs like slicing tofu, his pace couldn’t help but be swift.
While Thousand Transformations was undeniably powerful, the core reason behind his overwhelming damage was the stat boost from his recent rewards.

Do-hyeon had obtained three titles this time.
Among them, two were legendary, and the remaining one was heroic.
Even a five-year-old could see how outstanding the effects were.
However, what caught Do-hyeon’s attention the most was the Heir to Kashiar’s Will.
‘Unlocking effects as fragments are collected, huh…’
Even with just one unlocked effect, it was already quite useful.
Still, it felt slightly underwhelming to be labeled as a legendary title; it was closer to heroic in its current state.
‘A growth-type title.’
Once all the fragments were collected, it would likely surpass most legendary titles.
Though its initial performance was a bit lacking, its potential to become the strongest in its class was the hallmark of growth-type titles.
“Status window.”
Thus, the evolved stats of Do-hyeon emerged.
