[PENALTY QUEST: SURVIVE]
GOAL: SURVIVE UNTIL THE TIME RUNS OUT
TIME REQUIRED: 4 HOURS
REMAINING TIME: 0 H 15 MIN 22 SEC

Jeongyeon continued to easily kill the giant centipede-like monsters with her Vital Strike when another notification from the system had popped up as she eliminated the monsters with ease.

["VITAL STRIKE" SKILL HAS LEVELED UP!]

[YOU LEVELED UP!]

[YOU LEVELED UP!]

[YOU LEVELED UP!]

[YOU LEVELED UP!]

"As expected of penalty zones, they allow you to heal through leveling up." Jeongyeon mumbled as she drinks a potion to replenish her fatigue which she thinks is kind of ironic for supposedly a zone that's supposed to punish you in the first place. "Since I can use the store pretty much as I wanted to, I can keep healing the rest with potions."

REMAINING TIME: 0 H 3 MIN 19 SEC

"There's only 3 minutes left before I'm sent back to the job change quest..." Jeongyeon jumps down from the corpse of the slain monster and opened the shop menu of the system. "I still have time to prepare. Rasaka's fang isn't enough to pierce through the knight's defenses so I'm going to need something that can. Preferably, a stronger weapon or a dagger suitable for piercing heavy armor." She scrolled through the various daggers being sold at the shop and found the one she was looking for.

[YOU HAVE PURCHASED 'KNIGHT KILLER']

"There we go." Jeongyeon smiled as Knight Killer manifested in her hands. "It costs 2,800,000 gold so it's expensive but this going to be different from last time..." she nodded, trying to be more confident.

[ITEM: KNIGHT KILLER]
ITEM CLASS: B
TYPE: DAGGER
+75 ATTACK
EFFECT 'KNIGHT SLAYER': IF USED AGAINST AN OPPONENT WITH HEAVY ARMOR. YOUR ATTACKS WILL DEAL AN ADDITIONAL 25% DAMAGE.

"And if I do this, then I won't drop my weapon like I did with the Hearthstone." Jeongyeon purchased a bandage in order to wrap it around her hand that was grasping Knight Killer and manifested the rune she received from slaying Igris. "There's no other way if I don't try it. I also have this." She then crushes the rune in her hand.

['SKILL: DOMINATOR'S TOUCH' HAS BEEN LEARNED]

[SKILL: DOMINATOR'S TOUCH LV.1]
ACTIVE SKILL
NO MANA REQUIRED

YOU CAN CONTROL OBJECTS WITHOUT TOUCHING THEM

"A skill that doesn't require mana. Its effectiveness seems to be pretty good just from reading the description." She then remembers the enemy magician using the same skill such as Dominator's Touch so it didn't take too long for her to connect the dots.
