Episode 116
116. Staged situation
“Eom Jun-seok?”
Ryu Min remembered the other person’s nickname.
Because he was the one who attracted attention when capturing the High Orc.
Of course, I didn’t intentionally attract attention, I just froze.
“Well, you remembered my nickname, right?”
“I only saw it at first glance, but it seems correct.”
In any case, he is credited with making a remarkable contribution in recording a time attack of 1 second.
How could I not remember it?
‘But why this guy?’
A guy who had never spoken to me approached me first and started talking to me.
And with a frown on his face.
-Well, I never thought Black Scythe would remember me… … Good job talking to you!
Reading his thoughts, it seemed like there was no other intention.
It looks like he just came to say hello.
Ryumin asked, knowingly.
“What’s happening to me?”
“Ah, well, you saved me back then, but I’m bothered that you didn’t even say thank you.”
Eom Jun-seok bowed his head with a solemn and serious expression.
“Thank you. “For saving my life.”
‘I am truly grateful. For attracting the aggro of the High Orcs.’
I swallowed my words and just nodded.
“I get it. “Go now.”
Although it was a congratulatory message, Eom Jun-seok did not turn away.
After reading my thoughts, I felt regretful.
‘Oh, wait. no way?’
Ryu Min looked at Heo Tae-seok and Eom Jun-seok alternately.
Somehow, the way they look at themselves is similar.
‘I feel like I gained one more follower… … .’
Eom Jun-seok tried to pretend not to hear what Ryu Min said and only said what he wanted to say.
“It is an honor to be partying with Black Scythe like this. i look forward to.”
“wait a minute. Did you say it was Eom Jun-seok? What do you mean, Black Scythe saved you?”
“Oh, that’s… … .”
In response to Heo Tae-seok’s question, Eom Jun-seok explained in detail the critical situation at the time.
“Ah, that’s when the Black Scythe appeared.”
“yes. I was really fortunate. But you… … .”
“The introduction is late. My name is Aged People No Gay. “Are you interested in religion?”
“yes? Religion?”
“I’m recruiting new people this time… … .”
The two people who exchanged greetings continued their conversation.
In fact, Ryumin, the center of the conversation, was left behind.
‘I wonder who will be the next religious leader. Even during this time, we are recruiting believers.’
Even Heo Tae-seok, who was thought to be inarticulate, continued speaking in a clear and flowing manner in front of Eom Jun-seok.
When it came to matters related to the black scythe, his facial expression was extremely serious.
‘Do it yourself, okay. There’s nothing wrong with increasing my followers.’
It felt like the two of us were whispering together, but it was okay.
As long as it doesn’t get in the way, that’s fine.
At that time, the elf Ugrito used the wind spirit to inform everyone.
“We will leave now. Please take care of me, warriors of this world.”
As a signal, the top moved.
Tap-dag-dag-dak-
A white horse pulled a carriage without wheels.
Along with the procession of 30 carriages, about 700 players also moved.
Even though no one said anything, they divided themselves into two sides and escorted the carriage.
I walked around cautiously because I didn’t know when a monster might appear.
The appearance was quite serious.
These are the players who survived until the 7th round.
The forest was beautiful, but it wasn’t so much that I was lost in sentimentality that I couldn’t discern what was right or wrong.
Isn’t this another world where you never know what will come out?
However, unlike other players, Ryu Min did not look nervous.
Rather, it felt relaxed, like I was out for a drink in the neighborhood.
This is because you already know which monsters will appear and when.
What is the level?
‘Harpy, lizardman, werewolf. These three types will appear alternately. ‘Once every 10 minutes.’
Just like the Dwarf Merchant Marine, there will be 30 raids this time.
However, the number of monsters will be reduced by half.
Because they were monsters twice as powerful as orcs.
‘We should catch 10 per person. It won’t be easy for the players here, though.’
As it was an intermediate level of difficulty, an intense journey awaited, but no one other than Ryu Min knew about it.
“Kihiiiiit!”
“Kyahahihihi!”
Harpies flew in from the forest, flapping their wings.
“It’s a monster! “Everyone be careful!”
The players were also confused because it was their first time seeing a flying monster.
But it was a bit confusing for a while.
Suddenly!
The players realized something when they saw Ryumin casually cutting down a harpy.
Even if it flies, it has no choice but to come down to the ground when it attacks.
‘They attack with their beaks and claws anyway. Just cut it when it gets close.’
Were you stimulated by seeing Ryumin throw away two sides to the death side?
Each player wielded a weapon and used skills to escort the elves.
Heo Tae-seok and Eom Jun-seok also did not play.
Clap la la la rock-
“Keeeet?”
As soon as the black chain bound the harpy that was approaching.
Wow!
A black arrow pierced his head.
A harpy flew over to Heo Tae-seok, who was waiting for a cooldown period.
Damn it!
Eom Jun-seok’s sword cut off the wing of the wing and mercilessly pierced the heart of the fallen bird.
“thank you. “Mr. Junseok.”
“be careful. Mr. Nogay.”
“Anyway, will you consider the suggestion I made?”
“Let’s grab these first and talk.”
The harpy hunt ended smoothly.
It was quite fast, perhaps because it was a bird, but it was catchable.
They gave more experience points than orcs, but their tenacity was weaker.
Still, each player was heartbroken, perhaps because a flying monster suddenly appeared.
“Whew, a flying monster. “I was surprised.”
“When you actually dealt with it, it wasn’t that big of a deal, right?”
“But the experience points are so small.”
“How awesome would it be to share it with 740 people?”
Still, there was talk about whether my level would go up if I hunted like this without knowing my clothes would get wet in the light rain.
Among them, there was talk about the activities of the Black Scythe.
“Did you see it earlier? “Fighting with the black scythe.”
“They cut it in two with a sickle.”
“This is the first time I’ve seen a monster look pitiful.”
There was a lot of noise, but Ryumin knew.
‘This sense of leisure will turn into a sigh as time passes.’
If my wish were granted right away, a journey so arduous that I would say I would like to stretch my legs and rest would await me.
‘You’ll realize it soon.’
Did you walk for about 3 minutes?
Lizardmen hiding in the forest rushed in like a group of thieves.
I’m taking a short break after one battle.
“Awwwwww-!”
“W-what is it?”
“You were a lizard earlier, but now you’re a werewolf?”
Werewolves harassed the players so that they could not rest.
“Whoa, whoa… … .”
After killing them all, as soon as I took a few steps, a harpy flew in.
“Why are there so many f*cking monsters?”
Lizardmen attacked once again.
“Does this make sense? “There are monsters like this in the forest waiting to attack us?”
“Are you sure you’re waiting? “It will regenerate like a game.”
Hunting is good.
But shouldn’t we give ourselves time to rest?
Monsters appear every 10 minutes, but there is no time left other than fighting and moving.
You have to go on a non-stop forced march for 5 hours, killing monsters and moving repeatedly.
The players only realized this fact after 5 waves were over.
“Whoo, whoo. Black Scythe, are you okay?”
“As you can see.”
Unlike the followers who were already exhausted, Ryumin, who was fresh, was taking his stats leisurely.
It was not a stat obtained by increasing the level.
It was a stat that came through the bead of eternal sleep.
‘One stat point is given for every 100 animals. ‘Is there any other fraudulent item like this?’
Since 2 points are given per level up, it is the same as leveling up if you catch 200 animals.
Considering that the level increases more slowly, this is an incredible item.
There are more stats accumulated with marbles than rising through levels.
The belly button is bigger than the stomach.
Anyway, it’s a situation that Ryu Min can laugh at.
‘There are already a lot of monsters and durability can be restored… … ‘You must be busy taking stats for this?’
Currently, Ryumin was raising all four stats evenly, considering the Rune of Balance.
‘Even if it’s not a balance rune, it’s good for balance to raise the stats evenly.’
I repeated the episode and tried various combinations to see how I could become stronger, but I came to one conclusion.
There is nothing stronger than balanced stats.
When Ryumin had just finished distributing the stats, Yugrito prompted.
“There is a long way to go, warriors of this world. “It looks like all the monsters have been taken care of, so let’s move on.”
“Mr. “It doesn’t give me time to rest.”
“After a few more steps, a monster will appear.”
The players stood up and grumbled, but stood by the carriage.
If the player fails to protect the top of the elves, he or she will disappear.
Even if you don’t like it, you have no choice but to move.
It wasn’t just the general group that showed movement.
‘The traitor group has begun to move.’
Thinking that they might give up from exhaustion if things continued like this, the four traitors put their heads together.
Reading my thoughts, I realized that I was planning to hit the top of the elves while I was busy due to the monster attack.
‘It won’t be easy. Because these guys are not ordinary elf merchants.’
The merchants who drive the carriages are actually knights who escort the princess.
In addition, there are two protective spells cast by spirits on the carriage the princess rides.
‘When you touch the carriage door handle, there is a magic that activates a blade of wind and a magic that blows away with reverse gravity.’
What if you succeed in breaking through them all and capturing the princess?
‘Then the game is over.’
Even if you threaten to kill the princess with a sword, the elf knights will be upset.
In other words, if you catch the princess, the victory will definitely go to the traitor group.
Then you can complete the traitor quest without any further bloodshed.
‘If you drag out the remaining time by threatening to kill the princess, you may not be able to reach your destination.’
In that respect, targeting the princess was definitely more efficient.
‘There is no way the traitors would know that there is a princess inside.’
After reading my thoughts, I was just aiming for a carriage with a luxurious pattern because I felt suspicious.
It seems like they think there’s something valuable inside.
‘It’s true that the princess is precious, so it was a hit anyway.’
The traitors agreed that all they had to do was go to Seoul and target the carriage the princess was riding in.
‘Now that I think about it, the monster that will appear this time is a werewolf, right?’
What if you use a skill at the right time when a monster appears?
I feel like I can create any situation I want.
Then you will be able to get the results you want.
‘I don’t know if they will succeed, but I need to be prepared.’
Ryumin slowly moved his seat.
To a place where other people’s eyes can’t reach.
At that time, shouting was heard everywhere.
“It’s a monster!”
“Werewolves!”
Werewolves appeared just in time.
At that moment, Ryumin used a skill.
‘Night of the Dead.’
In an instant, darkness engulfed the forest.
The players were confused, but soon calmly faced the monster.
This is because we already know that it is a Black Scythe skill.
‘It looks like the Black Scythe skill was used, but it doesn’t matter.’
‘Even if it’s dark, I can see what I need to see.’
But there was something they also overlooked.
The fact is that werewolves become 30% stronger at night.
“Awwwwww-!”
The werewolves’ eyes turned red and their claws became sharper.
“Huh?”
The players were taken aback as they moved with more dexterity than before.
On the other hand, it was an opportunity for the traitor group.
‘It looks like the black scythe used the skill to work when it’s dark.’
‘Thank you, Black Scythe!’
The four people thought it was time to run to the carriage.
Just by looking at it, it looks like it has a luxurious pattern on it, so it looks like it contains valuables.
‘If I rob that place and threaten the elves, how can I stop it!’
With that in mind, I approached the carriage.
Perhaps because it was dark, the elf merchants did not notice their movements.
They became aware of the attack when one of the traitors placed his hand on the carriage door handle.
Hwieeee-sigh!
“Huh?”
The hand was cut off by the blade of wind.
“Aaaahhh!”
The elves’ ears perked up at the traitor’s scream, and they all turned their heads toward the carriage the princess was riding in.
“what’s the matter?”
“This warrior from another world dares to use a carriage!”
At that time, another traitor tried to open the door handle.
Then the reverse magic was activated and the traitor’s body soared high into the sky.
“Uh huh?”
At a certain point, the magic wore off.
“Aaaahhh!”
The traitor fell to the ground.
Kuung-!
It was a cruel death that was difficult to even look at.
But there were still two traitors left.
Suddenly-!
When I opened the carriage door, there was an elf staring at me with rabbit-like eyes.
It was Princess Eufinelcia.
“I thought I had valuables…” … .”
“There was something better, right? Hehehe.”
The traitors laughed, baring their teeth.
If you catch the princess, the game is over.
“The princess is in danger!”
The elf knight commander Yugrito, who heard the commotion in the carriage, hurriedly drew his sword and ran.
“What are you all doing! Save the princess… … !”
Yugrito, who was about to tell them to protect him, kept his mouth shut.
The two traitors who attacked the carriage were already spread out on the floor.
“How is this…” … .”
The darkness had already cleared and the sun was shining on the carriage.
There, a man was tapping the traitors with his foot, as if checking to see if they had fainted.
It was none other than a black scythe.
