NOVEL NEXT Chapter 293
Shin Se-hee, while watching the video, suddenly remembered something and asked,
“Ichika, didn’t you once mistake Jin Yuha for an incubus?”
“Yes, I did. When he came to save me, I mistook him for one.”
“I see.”
Indeed, seeing him like this, it was understandable to make such a mistake.
Although it wasn’t as intense as seeing him in person, just watching him on screen was mesmerizing.
“It’s no wonder you mistook him for an incubus. Jin Yuha’s appearance is already perfect, and it seems like there’s no room for further improvement, but he effortlessly surpasses that.”
Sophia nodded seriously, as if reading her thoughts.
“But every time he gets stronger, his face becomes more handsome. I wonder what principle is at work here…”
Was it like the transformation in martial arts novels?
As Shin Se-hee was having these silly thoughts, Lim Ga-eul coughed with a bright red face.
“Ahem! This time, it seems like there’s more exposure of the junior than the last time… Is it just my imagination?”
“I think so. It’s a relief that it’s just us here. If it had been in front of others or during a live broadcast, it would have been a huge problem.”
At Lee Yoo-ri’s words, everyone’s expressions stiffened.
The thought of showing that scene to others made their heads spin.
“Will he do this a few more times…?”
“Should we carry a blanket with us from now on to cover him up…?”
At that moment, Jin Yuha in the video tore his clothes and put them in his mouth.
Everyone seemed to sigh in unison.
His long eyelashes and deep eyes looked down, and a drop of sweat on his cheek fell to his chin.
Gulp.
The sound of swallowing filled Shin Se-hee’s room.
“This is all Jin Yuha’s fault…”
“I agree.”
“It’s like… cheating…”
“Ahem, but! Because of the increased exposure of the junior… it, it seems like… it’s, it’s slightly visible… and… with that face and that size… is it even possible…?”
Lim Ga-eul covered her face with her hands and peeked through the gap, looking embarrassed.
“Hmm…”
“Oh…”
“Ahem…”
“Hmm…”
No one responded to her words, but everyone knew what she was talking about.
After all, Sophia’s camera also automatically focused on that area.
Jin Yuha’s lower body.
“The benefactor… is really well-endowed…”
Ichika finally said it, and Alice’s nose started bleeding.

I stared at the status window in shock, feeling like I had witnessed a dramatic overnight transformation.
With the credit for capturing the demon world tree, I had advanced from 3-star to 4-star, and so much had changed.
I could now understand why the settlement was delayed for so long!
‘Let’s take a closer look… slowly.’
I tried to calm my excited heart and scanned the status window.
First, with the advancement in rank, all my stats had increased by +10.
At the same time, my Mental Power stat had exceeded 100. This was the second stat to reach 100, following Charm, which I had obtained after capturing the Fire Dragon.
‘That was Charisma.’
Just like that time, when my Mental Power stat exceeded 100, a new trait called ‘Immovable Heart’ appeared.
“Wow, this is amazing!”
This trait, I knew it well.
It was the trait that Soup has obtained when she broke through the 5-star level.
“This is really hard to get…”
The Charisma trait I obtained when I broke through the 4-star level was not bad, but it couldn’t compare to Immovable Heart.
Immovable Heart was a top-tier trait that granted complete immunity to all types of illusion and mental attacks.
It was a trait that elevated Soup, the master of aggro and tanking, to a heavenly level.
But I had obtained it through my stat breakthrough. Honestly, I could say that I had some luck on my side.
Immovable Heart was the ultimate trait that could be obtained by breaking through the Mental Power stat.
Most of the time, when the Mental Power stat exceeded 100, the traits obtained were ‘Indomitable’ or ‘Endurance’. Considering this, I had truly been blessed with heavenly luck!
Indomitable was a trait that allowed one to continue fighting without faltering even when injured, while Endurance allowed one to survive with just 1 HP as long as there was stamina remaining.
However, they couldn’t compare to Immovable Heart, which completely ignored illusion and mental attacks.
“I’m so lucky.”
I muttered a famous line from a web novel and then turned my attention back to the status window.
“It would have been even better if my Sword Mastery specialization had risen to SSS-grade… Hmm, is that too much to ask for?”
Since it was SS-grade when I defeated the dragon, it’s fine.
I can’t complain. There’s still one more star grade increase left, so I can look forward to that.
“At least I got the Sword Techniques title.”
It’s not just the Moonlight Shadow Sword Technique, but the ‘True’ Moonlight Shadow Sword Technique.
It seems that with the addition of life and death and the path of life, the incomplete sword technique has been recognized as the true version.
This was also a pleasant surprise.
I thought I had gained too little after being stuck in that pit and struggling while everyone else was getting stronger during the special training.
But the status window acknowledged that this was the right path.
“And… the first achievement title…”
Demon Tree Slayer.
I let out a snort.
“Defeating the Demon World Tree at this point has really started a snowball effect.”
It means having an advantage against all types of demonic energy.
Considering that most of my future opponents will be demons and demon races, this is the best title I could have hoped for.
“I thought it would be great to just practice sword techniques in the Sword Emperor’s forest, but this is…”
Yes, defeating the Demon World Tree at this point was originally impossible in the game.
I can’t help but feel happy.
To summarize, these are the main changes:
• 4-star
•
• All stats +10
•
• Mental stat over 100 => Obtained the Immovable Heart trait.
•
• True Moonlight Shadow Sword Technique
•
• First achievement title: Demon Tree Slayer.
•
The rest of the updates are just the addition of titles like ‘Incubus’ and ‘Big Man’, and Alice (Kim Mal-sook) getting a 2% increase on the Ring of Affection and Obsession.
“Tsk, what’s this Incubus title…?”
I frowned and then relaxed as I looked at the titles.
“At least the ‘Big Man’ title is good. I’ve always been teased with weird nicknames… Hmm, does this mean I’m recognized as a big-hearted person?”
Well, I’m pretty big.
Yup, I’m really big.
“Hmm, should I take the kids to the Gate tomorrow? I’m curious to see how much stronger we’ve become…”
After finishing my inspection of the status window, I went to bed in a good mood.
.
.
.
The next morning.
As I met with everyone to go to the Gate, I couldn’t help but be surprised.
“Today, at the Gate…”
Did they not sleep at all last night?
Everyone looked terrible, with dark circles under their eyes.
Even Alice, who had just joined the party yesterday!
“Are you all feeling unwell today…?”
When I asked, the party members narrowed their eyes and glared at me.
“It’s all because of Jin Yuha.”
“Huh…?”
“Yes, it’s the benefactor’s fault.”
“This time, I think the junior is to blame.”
“Jin Yuha…”
“It’s your fault.”
“What did I do wrong…?”
I asked with a bewildered voice, but no one answered.
