THUNK!
Su-ho was released as if spat out and fell hard on his ass.
After landing on his ass, Su-ho made a blank, stunned face.
“...What?”
It had happened in an instant.
Just when he thought he’d finally clear up his questions and maybe even see the World Tree, what was this all of a sudden?
He got kicked out.
With a single finger snap, at that.
“Wow...”
A sense of betrayal ca crashing in like a flood.
What the hell?
Can she even do that?
Of course, he rembered what she said.
- Everything has its ti. And more than anything, right now you lack the stature. Even if you want to know, I can’t tell you, and even if I want to show you, I can’t show you. But soon, you will know everything. So let us promise the next ti.
Lacking the stature.
So it was about security clearance.
But even so, this is too much, isn’t it?
“You could’ve just said it out loud, seriously...”
Her personality really is sothing else.
Su-ho barely restrained the surge of anger, then stood up and brushed off his butt.
“Yeah, getting mad won’t change anything anyway.”
What could he even do right now?
Nothing.
If he forced himself to find sothing, it’d be going back to the Fairy Kingdom the next ti he unlocked another authority and picking a fight about it then.
Su-ho shook his head and checked his status window first.
[An Su-ho]

Rank: Middle Player

After catching Gos, his level went up by one, and he beca level 303.
But more than that, what caught his eye was that he had finally completed the New Blood trait quest.
As proof, the ▲ mark beside New Blood was shining brightly.
‘Now the only trait quest left is Hercules’s Hero’s Fate.’
He decided to check the reward for the New Blood trait quest and the Hero’s Fate matter later, and first rechecked the information for Fairy Blood.
[Fairy Blood]
Rank: S
# A bloodline said to be passed down only to the Queen Family, who were called the first and greatest fairies.
# Lv.1 - Fairy Blood: Fairy Power (S)
# Lv.2 - Fairy Form: Fairy Sense (S)
# Lv.3 - [???]: Locked.
└ Unlock Conditions
① Reach level 400.
② Unknown.
# Lv.4...
Fairy Form, the second authority of Fairy Blood.
aning a fairy’s flesh.
Fairy Sense was probably similar.
Su-ho checked the information for both Fairy Form and Fairy Sense.
[Fairy Form]
# A fairy’s body differs from ordinary living creatures from its structure and composition.
# Soone who is not of the fairy race can inherit fairy blood and use fairy power. However, due to innate physical limitations, they cannot handle that power perfectly, and the more refined and exalted the fairy’s power is, the more so.
# But by obtaining Fairy Form, you have now gained a body that can fully endure fairy power.
# Fairy Form greatly increases the stats of Fairy Power and removes the risks of using sorcery and various other fairy techniques.
[Fairy Sense]
Rank: S
# A communion ability ant only for fairies, obtained through acquiring Fairy Form.
# Through Fairy Sense, you can instinctively recognize true fairies.
# Through Fairy Sense, you can ntally commune with true fairies.
After reading all the explanations, Su-ho nodded.
As expected, it wasn’t all that different in nature from the Giant Body and Giant Sense he had obtained before.
‘Well, in a way, that’s only natural.’
First the bloodline, then the power related to it, and then you’d need an optimized vessel to fully utilize what you gained.
‘So what’s next?’
Looking at Dragon Blood or Vampire Blood, it seed highly likely that a racial evolution would occur—sothing that brought him even closer to the bloodline itself.
‘Well, I’ll only know the details when that ti cos.’
Su-ho then opened his inventory.
Inside were countless square cube shapes he hadn’t seen before, and surprisingly, every single one of them had been harvested from Fairy Dragon Gos.
Fairy Dragon Gos’s Horn Fragnt (S)
Fairy Dragon Gos’s Heart Fragnt (S)
Fairy Dragon Gos’s Eye Fragnt (S)
Fairy Dragon Gos’s Tail Fragnt (S)
Fairy Dragon Gos’s Hide Fragnt (S)
Fairy Dragon Gos’s Scale Fragnt (S)
...
Countless byproducts of Gos.
Similar to the Slting Dragon.
But the options that ca out of the byproducts themselves weren’t all that eye-catching.
For example, if you looked only at the options, the Slting Dragon’s were better.
Just thinking about its heart fragnt alone, it had options like a 20% increase to total mana and a 100% increase to mana recovery speed.
Su-ho took out Gos’s heart fragnt and checked its options.
[Fairy Dragon Gos’s Heart Fragnt]
Rank: S
# A heart fragnt of Fairy Dragon Gos, one of the fairy hunter factions.
# Only a part has been harvested, not the whole.
# Gos tornted the protection fairies for a long ti and devoured countless fairies.
# Upon use, the effects ‘Fairy Power Resistance 20%’, ‘Health Recovery Speed 20%’, and ‘Mana Recovery Speed 20%’ occur.
# If Fairy Dragon Gos’s power gathers, it feels like a mysterious power will take hold.
He had already checked all the options on the material fragnts.
Among them, the one with the best options was this Gos heart fragnt.
And this ti, it wasn’t just one heart fragnt—he had harvested several.
He didn’t know why there were multiple, but one thing was certain: it wasn’t because of the target’s size.
‘If we’re talking size, the Slting Dragon was several tis bigger, but the Slting Dragon only dropped one.’
Then was it an issue of the material’s quality?
Whatever it was, he decided to think about it positively.
Even if the options were worse than the Slting Dragon’s, at least he had quantity.
And besides, the last line written in the item options.
# If Fairy Dragon Gos’s power gathers, it feels like a mysterious power will take hold.
Bluntly speaking, he didn’t need the other options.
This alone was enough.
Because back with the Slting Dragon, thanks to this line, he had been able to obtain the Slting Dragon’s Rune.
‘And it’s not just anything—it’s a Fairy Dragon, one of the fairy hunter factions. In that case, the items that co out through extraction, including the rune, will be the ultimate natural enemy of the fairies that exist now, no matter what it is.’
When you made plans, you always had to consider the worst-case scenario.
In that sense, when Su-ho considered the possibilities between the fairies and himself, the worst possible outco was turning every fairy against him and going to full-scale war.
If he accounted for that outco, then the byproducts and rune of a fairy hunter faction were, quite literally, the most reassuring insurance.
The corners of Su-ho’s mouth lifted.
Because Marloe, who had just kicked him out as if pushing him away, suddenly ca to mind.
‘You’d better treat well.’
If the real worst-case scenario cos, I don’t think I’ll be able to stand looking at you.
Su-ho imdiately activated a skill.
[Field Blacksmith’s Furnace is activated.]
KURRRRUNG!
A system notification.
At the sa ti, Field Blacksmith’s Furnace appeared before Su-ho.
‘It’s been a while.’
A portable small forge that only Su-ho could use.
At its center were the usual dark-blue furnace and molds.
Su-ho imdiately took out a hamr and struck the jar four tis.
KANG! KANG! KANG! KANG!
[Golden Blacksmith’s Fire is activated.]
FWOOSH!
With four hamr strikes, the linked skill activated, and fueled by Su-ho’s mana, it began heating the dark-blue furnace like it had gone mad.
It soon completely covered the dark-blue, and beyond red, it shone with a golden high temperature, ready to lt anything.
Su-ho opened his inventory again.
Then he grabbed a big handful of the most plentiful material—Gos’s scale fragnts—and tossed them in.
‘It never said I had to put in only one at a ti.’
[Golden Blacksmith’s Fire is activated.]
FWOOSH!
Flas surged up.
The forge automatically drew on Su-ho’s mana, and the furnace diligently raised its temperature to lt the materials.
And after a while, the jar began to tilt.
Squirm—
Golden molten tal poured out.
It fell from a large clump and scattered in different directions.
There was quite a lot.
Because he had put in a lot of materials.
When even the last remaining drop had split apart, only then did the furnace stop running.
[Extraction is complete.]
SSSSS—
An extraction completion notification.
It was just like the rice cooker beep that tells you cooking is done.
And as the furnace stopped running, it returned to its usual dark-blue.
The contents gathered in the molds also cooled quickly.
The items divided and classified ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) from a single material were three types in total.
Su-ho checked whether the classified items had cooled properly, then checked the contents of the molds one by one.
[Fairy Dragon Hide Crystal]
Rank: S
# A hide crystal extracted from a Fairy Dragon.
# Its quality is extrely high. If applied to cheap hide, it transforms it into Fairy Dragon hide to the extent of the crystal’s transformation ability.
[Fairy Power Crystal]
Rank: S
# A high-purity Fairy Power crystal.
First, those two.
Seeing them, Su-ho’s eyes narrowed into crescents.
‘Not bad.’
When he had put in the chain fragnt from the Suppressing Chain Coffin, he’d gotten scrap tal and low-purity mana crystals. As expected, since the harvested target was what it was, the results were excellent.
But the highlight wasn’t here yet.
Su-ho checked what was in the last mold.
[Fairy Dragon Gos’s Rune Fragnt]
Rank: S
# An extrely intense crystal containing Fairy Dragon Gos’s grudge.
# If the crystals gather, it feels like a mysterious power will take hold.
Su-ho’s eyes widened as he read the info.
Sure enough, a rune fragnt had co out.
‘Got it!’
Everything was going exactly as expected.
Then all that remained was repetitive work.
Su-ho’s forge began running at speed.
[Golden Blacksmith’s Fire is activated.]
[Extraction is complete.]
[Golden Blacksmith’s Fire is activated.]
[Extraction is complete.]
[Golden Blacksmith’s Fire is activated.]
[Extraction is complete.]
...
The jar heated nonstop.
And the materials split apart.
How much ti had passed?
Su-ho finally succeeded in classifying and extracting all of Gos’s byproducts, and proceeded to the last step.
[Golden Blacksmith’s Fire is activated.]
The final extraction step.
More precisely, it wasn’t extraction—it was combining.
Combining the rune fragnts he had gathered so far into one.
[Extraction is complete.]
At last, extraction was complete.
And Su-ho checked the information of the large lump of rune in the mold.
[Fairy Dragon Gos’s Rune]
Rank: S
# A rune imbued with Fairy Dragon Gos’s power.
# Depending on the absorber’s stature, you can acquire Gos’s power differentially.
“Got it!”
He finally obtained it.
The complete rune of Fairy Dragon Gos!
And the item description was the sa as back when he got the Slting Dragon’s Rune.
aning, rather than mixing it into an item, direct absorption was possible.
Then there was no reason to hesitate any longer.
Su-ho imdiately used Gos’s Rune.
[Mana is infused into Fairy Dragon Gos’s Rune.]
[Fairy Dragon Gos’s Rune reacts to your mana.]
[Fairy Dragon Gos’s Rune begins to resonate with you.]
FWAAAASH!
A dazzling light began to envelop Su-ho.
