Reset: DPS to Support?!

Dropping down to the ground as he laid there, tired. He averted his gaze from the ceiling over to his quest rewards.

[ You have defeated the weakened vision of Devourer of Flames, Refrinz! ]

[ You have obtained 'Trial of Altric Key #1' ]

[ You have obtained 'Torn ??? Page Piece' ]

[ You have defeated the 'first' trial, by placing the key into one of two gates, you will proceed to the next trial. ]

"...?" Reading over the rewards that Shinto fixed on the words 'weakened'.

'So no wonder he had so little HP... He was 'weakened'...' Shinto shuddered at the thought of the fully powered Refrinz. The damage he did to Shinto when he was weakened was already high, scrapping off 1/3 of his HP. What if it was when he was at his peaked? Would that have been an instant death at this stage of the game if he went up against Refrinz?

Shinto shook his head as he got rid of the thought, soon after he touched on another topic, 'Though weakened, he should be at least of a level of a raid boss right?' He locked his gaze over to the words on the text.

'vision'

'Does this have something to do with why it has so less HP as well?'

Shinto's eyes narrowed as he continued his trail of thoughts till he diverted his attention over to the items he had gotten from defeating the weakened Refrinz, 'Trial of Altric Key #1' and 'Lost ??? Page Piece' quickly checking the details of the two items.

[ Torn ??? Page Piece ]

A piece of a page from a book that has been lost in legends. Collect all 7 pieces to obtain a single page.

*Something will occur when all 7 pieces have been combined into a single page.

...

Reading over the details of the items he had gotten, his eyes moved over towards the two pathways locked by the gates.

"So I can advance further the dungeon using this key... But I can only choose a single path huh?" He scanned the area, now filled with burning flames from the fight earlier. "I should hurry up and decide which gate to open... It's getting incredibly hot in here."

Shinto hurriedly pulled himself up as he looked around the devasted area covered in hellfire, "Even after Refrinz has fallen, his hellfire still lasts?", he scanned the area as he looked for an object that seemed to be missing, "Where's the monolith?"

The monolith that was in the middle of the room was gone. Where is it? He was paying attention to the fight that he didn't realize it disappeared out of thin air, no fragments or anything to say it was that it was broken.

The original blue gleam around the area was now red, hot in flames. Could the monolith have been broken down from the fight and then burnt to a crisp by the flame? That's the only logical explanation. The monolith couldn't possibly just up and disappeared like that right?

Shinto thought to himself as he continued scanning the area. Besides the disappearance of the monolith, nothing else changed, well besides the rising temperature in the room from the heat.

After looking around for a bit, Shinto walked up towards one of the gates, the left pathway, "Well... I'll leave the questions for later, let's advance."

Though, just as he took a step towards the gate, a sudden rumble erupted from around him.

"...!"

In a spur moment, the flames grew aggressive. It spun around the room

"What the...?!"

Shinto frantically panicked from the eruption as he took his sword out prepared for a sudden attack that could come at any time.

The flames grew more aggressive as it continued spinning around the room, just as its temperature reached the peak, the flames stopped.

In the middle of the flames, was an obelisk. Like the one from the entrance, though it was dyed crimson red that gave off a fiery hue.

[ The flames have dispersed. The obelisk of 'Gifgs' has been revealed. ]

Shinto read the words in front of him as he looked over to the obelisk. This was the fifth one he has now encountered. Taking a breather now as the temperature of the room cools down, he walked over to it as he observed it.

The fifth obelisk had a mural depicting that of a blacksmith, ironing through steel as he created a weapon, a weapon of perfection? Who knows. He gave it his all in order to create the weapon.

'So it's a blacksmith now...? Just what is the connection?'

Thinking to himself, he was alerted as a new system notification appeared in front of him.

[ You have analyzed 5 out of the 10 obelisks of 'Gifgs'! ]

Shinto still had a confused look as he tried to connect two and two, though he couldn't. An Elementalist, a Magician, a Huntress, a Person Divided between Dark and Light and a Blacksmith? The only thing he could connect to is the legends of each one, the legend of the dancer of elementals, the legendary great magician who devoted his life learning magic, a huntress with potent accuracy and eyes of a tiger and the blacksmith who created many works.

These were all famous legends, each having their own story in the game's world view, but... What does it have to do with Altric? The meaning of 'Truth'?

Shinto shook his head as he thought of the third obelisk, a man divided between dark and light, just what could it mean? There were no records of such things, a fallen angel maybe? But what would a demon have to do with this?

So many questions, yet no answers.

It was useless to think of this right now. Shinto looked over towards the left gate as he walked towards it, taking out the key from his inventory as he inserted it into the keyhole.

[ You have opened the gates to 'Girzo lu Zjfzm' ]

"Girzo lu Zijfazm...? So... It's related to water?"

Shinto took a deep breath calming his many, getting rid of all his doubts in his head, as he stepped foot through the gates.
