Orbis Online
123. The Hero of Horen Mountain
"So, you're leaving, are you?"
"So, we're on our way north."
"And I have prepared your needs for at least a month, but I do not think you have only stayed one week."
Reus and Ikshan laughed wryly at Horb's exaggerated remarks, not expecting this Snow Troll to have prepared to the extent. They never get used to this kind of treatment.
"By the way, when you rest God Horen comes to us and leaves this for Reus."
Horb took out a necklace with eight-pointed star-shaped lionin eyes in pitch-black, then handed it to the silver-haired player. His eyebrows rose slightly looking at the necklace.

The Black Necklace of Nightshade
During the night, users will get an increase in the entire status by 10%. The ability to settle will increase by 50% when night falls.
---
'Pretty good, but only at night. I guess I'll wear it as an accessory for now.'
Reus wore the necklace while looking at the necklace's eyes as a mere complement, but suddenly a semi-transparent panel appeared in front of him.
---
Special Trait Set is active!
Black Necklace of Nightsade synchronizes with Blackstar!
Special Trait Set: When the Blackstar Skill Bonus is activated at night it will increase the skill effect by 50% and there is a 10% chance of Cooldown recovering instantly.
Special Trait Set Bonus Skill: Blackstar Full Control
---
Reus' eyes were slightly widened to read the contents of the panel, not expecting Trait to be hidden behind this black star necklace. Come to think of it for a moment, does not the shape of the star with the black color of this necklace indicate there is a connection with Blackstar? Maybe it was Reus who hadn't thought of this possibility.
Reus was a little surprised when he saw the Special Trait Set activated, but what made him very curious was the Bonus Skill from this Special Trait Set, Blackstar Full Control.
"Ikshan, do you know anything about the Full Control skill?"
"The Skill Full Control? I know a few things."
Ikshan then explained what he knew about the Full Control skill.
Full Control is one of the Chant type skills that can increase Equip ability. This skill can only be used on the weapon of the skill user itself and only affects certain weapons.
For example, if Ikshan exerts a Full Control skill against his Giant Silver Kusarigama, then all that happens is a slight increase in Dmg status for a while. It is said that skills such as Full Control can only be used on Equip who has a past and special abilities, such as Blackstar.
Reus nodded several times understanding Ikshan's explanation. He understood enough about this skill, but why did Blackstar have his own Full Control skill? It made her curiosity increase.
"God Horen also advised that Reus should not rely on the special Skill Bonus that is in it, you should be able to learn the Arts version."
"Version Arts?"
"Oh, regarding that Full Control skill there are two versions."
Ikshan then continued his explanation of the Full Control skil to Reus.
As is known Full Control skill there are two versions, namely the Chant version and the Arts version. Full Control Chant version is a skill that is easier to get and master because it is a Chant type skill, but the effects given are usually weaker than the Arts version and some other disadvantages.
Conversely, Full Control Arts version which includes mastery skills such as Sword Arts is very difficult to obtain and mastered by most players, which is very difficult to master, but the ability and disadvantage of the Arts version of the skill will be much different than the Chant version. Usually Full Control Arts version is more owned by NPCs who are really physically trained than players.
"Oh, yeah. I understand now."
Special Trait Set activated by Blackstar from Black Necklace of Nightshade is a Full Control Chant skill, therefore the ability will be weaker than the Arts version. If you want to free Arshwind and face the Order of Chaos in Main Story, then Full Control version of Arts must be able to get.

Blackstar Full Control (1-1)
Instead Dur will be reduced twice as fast.
Energy: 1,000
Cooldown: 6 hours
---
Reus' face became wry at the description of the skill. It is true that Blackstar Full Control has very good abilities, but the disadvantages are not playful.
If it is not balanced with a high Vit, then using Dual Wielding along with this skill then the Dur Blackstar status will run out faster. Even its own Energy consumption consumes more than a third of the total Energy Reus alone.
This Blackstar Full Control Skill was like a double-edged sword.
After confirming the skill with his own eyes, Reus sighed and turned his gaze to Horb at the front.
"Thank you, then also convey my gratitude to God Horen if he comes here."
"Of course, with pleasure."
The two of them smiled at each other, then shook hands—though Reus could only hold Horb's index finger. Ikshan also greeted Horb because it was time for them to leave this place.
"Ah, before you go I want to bestow you with the title of Hero of Horen Mountain!"
Horb stretched out his arms and called out with the cry of the inhabitants of the city of Huroud, who told them both to leave, while the two who were given the title themselves were surprised not to play.
It is true that they were treated as heroes thanks to the services of those who killed Ash and repelled his troops, but both did not expect to be actually given the title Hero by the mayor.
A semi-transparent notification panel appeared in front of the faces of the two of them simultaneously.

The Hero of Horen Mountain
You save Horen mountain, all intelligent mob monsters in Horen mountain will respect and adore you as a hero of Horen mountain area!
All Status +10, Respect +5.000
Contributions in Mount Horen +50,000
---
Both eyes widened to see the addition of Respect value and contribution in the Horen mountain area with just one title.
It might not be comparable to the person who had the title of Hero in the real kingdom, indeed, but still this title is one of the best titles they have ever been able to—let alone there is an increase in all status by 10 points.
Reus and Ikshan looked at each other with dry smiles when they saw the title description. They feel their arrival in this place produces a lot of terrible things in a positive sense, whether because of this sheer luck or indeed because of the storyline Orbis Online.
"Alright, we will accept this title gladly."
"Of course, otherwise I'll beat you up with a Full Swing."
The three of them—Reus, Ikshan, and Horb—laugh loudly at each other throwing replies before starting to take steps to leave HRoud.
"Goodbye, Hero of Horen Mountain!"
"Come back anytime, we'll all welcome you!"
"If you're having trouble coming here, we'll help you with all our strength!"
Along with cheers from the inhabitants of the city of Huroud, the two made their way to the northern Horen Tunnel. Reus and Ikshan could only smile bitterly while waving their hands. This crowd made them quite tormented as loners, especially Reus.
Before completely disappearing from sight, they looked back at Horb who was standing straight with a firm smile and both hands folded in front of his chest. Seeing that smile, for some reason they felt excited.
The smile that Horb showed was not a goodbye smile, but a smile filled with the desire to meet again one day. Reus and Ikshan had only met Horb a few times and had not known him closely, but the relationship that was established on the battlefield was something unique.
At that time Reus promised to visit this place and chat with Horb again someday, maybe when his Quest was fulfilled and he felt quite free.
Note: let's just say the Full Control skill is similar to Armament Full Control in SAO Alicization if it is difficult to understand it.
