62. Episode 62
After everyone’s efforts, the Golden Castle quickly regained its original form.
The things that were broken during the siege were completely repaired, and thanks to Go Chang-seok, the repairs to the equipment were also completed.
No, thanks to the materials that remained in the Golden Castle and the equipment Seun had given me, I was able to set up equipment that was much stronger than before.
And the same was true for Seun’s equipment.
[Gray Wolf Cloak]
Category: Cloak
Grade: C-
Description: The hide of a gray wolf that ruled over the brown wolves in the Wolf Forest. It has been improved by skilled craftsmen to have better performance than before.

[ Red Wolf Armor ]

2. Wolf’s Menace – Causes fear in monsters weaker or equal to the wearer.
3. Essence of Rock Mountain – Defense and durability increase significantly.
“What do you think? Do you like it?”
“Yes, very much.”
“Hehe, that’s fortunate. I had some useful materials in the warehouse, so I decided to upgrade it. Now that the repairs are complete, it should be usable for a while.”
“thank you.”
Se-Woon smiled as if he liked the equipment he was wearing.
The cloak, which was originally D-grade, has been reduced to C-grade. The armor, which was originally C-grade, has been reduced to C+ grade.
As the level increased by two levels, not only the basic defense power but also the effectiveness of the ability increased.
It was a situation where Se-Woon was very satisfied with the situation, as he had been feeling sorry for handing over the golden armor to Kang-Chul.
“Is your weapon okay? It looks like the dagger is broken.”
“I’m sorry. I’ve been dealing with the lord.”
“Hehe, it’s okay. It was the first equipment I made without any proper tools, so there’s nothing I can do. Rather, I’m grateful that you used it appropriately in the end.”
He wanted to improve other weapons as well, but unfortunately, the only weapons that Go Chang-seok could improve at the moment were the past equipment that he had personally created.
So, equipment obtained from monsters or stolen from the lord could not be improved.
‘Well, that’s enough for now.’
Most of the weapons Seun currently possesses are C-grade or higher. Furthermore, Mamon said that the cloning process is almost complete, so he will be able to get Durandal back soon.
“Jeongpil-ah.”
“Yes, bro!”
Tadadot!
As soon as Se-un’s name was mentioned, Park Jeong-pil came running with exaggerated gestures.
Everyone is busy working, so where has this guy been and what has he been doing that he just showed up like this?
It was convenient because I didn’t have to bother looking for it, but I didn’t like it because it felt like I was always slacking off.
“Let me borrow a skeleton.”
“Are you talking about the red wolf? Oh my, it’s something my brother gave me, so of course I have to give it to you! Red wolf!”
Tadadot!
They say pets resemble their owners?
Just as Se-un had called Park Jeong-pil, the enemy quickly appeared.
The skeleton’s color still remained a vivid red thanks to the aftereffects of the ‘Red Hare’s Mane’ used by Seun.
There, Baekhyun’s overall appearance seemed more delicate and sharp than before, perhaps due to his improvements.
At first, I thought it would soon break as it couldn’t withstand the power of the ‘Red Hare’s Mane’.
Thanks to Baekhyun’s improvements, the instability was now completely gone and it was much more powerful than before.
“Oh, my driving skills have really improved! Just tell me where you want to go and I’ll take you there comfortably!”
As he said that, Park Jeong-pil naturally climbed onto Jeokrang’s back. However, Se-woon had no intention of quietly climbing onto him.
“get off.”
“……yes?”
“Get out. I’ll drive.”
“Hyung, bro! Trust me just this once! Seriously, I’ll make sure you’re comfortable and don’t get calluses on your butt!”
“Red. Shake it off.”
thud!
“Ugh!”
Although he had delegated the task to Park Jeong-pil, the original owner of Jeokrang was Se-un. Naturally, at Se-un’s order, Jeokrang stripped himself of all his body and threw Park Jeong-pil to the ground.
In the first place, I had no intention of kindly guiding Park Jeong-pil, who didn’t even know his destination, along the way.
Seun, who was riding on a soft saddle made of leather, gently stroked Jeokrang’s skull.
“let’s go.”
“Hey, Red Wolf! It’s your brother!”
As if he didn’t care about the affection he had felt so far, Jeokrang quickly moved his four legs, leaving Park Jeongpil behind.
* * *
“Our Red Wolf, hasn’t it gotten a lot faster? It reminds me of my old horse, the Porroce Booster TMG… … .”
Park Jeong-pil’s voice could be heard continuously from behind.
Because we were running at such a fast speed, it would be difficult for an average person to even keep their eyes open.
In that situation, being able to open your mouth like that is talent, if anything, a talent.
‘I wanted to come alone if possible… … .’
I remembered when I escaped from the castle on a red wolf.
Clearly, the Red Wolf was speeding at an incredible speed.
‘Hyungniim! Please take me too! I won’t bother you, so please!’
Park Jeong-pil followed Se-un at a speed that matched his.
I had no choice but to let him ride in the back seat because I felt like he would really follow me all the way if I didn’t stop.
That was the situation right now.
“Wow, I can already see the castle being occupied! When I scouted it just now, it was full of monsters.”
As I was running through the wind, I noticed castles with unique shapes on each side.
As Park Jeong-pil said, there were flags floating above a considerable number of castles, proving that they had been occupied by players.
In addition, there were various situations unfolding, such as a place where the sound of guns resonating as if in the middle of a siege, or a clan setting up a temporary stronghold and holding a strategy meeting.
“And those castles, aren’t they the ones you stopped by? When I was scouting before, they were the first ones to be taken!”
The castle that Park Jeong-pil pointed to was also a familiar place to Se-un.
‘A towering watchtower.’
This is where Seun first broke in, robbed the warehouse, and stole the lord’s weapons. Even now, that bow is still waiting for Seun’s touch in his subspace pocket.
‘That makes sense.’
It was a place where even the goods in the warehouse and the castle lord’s weapons disappeared. Naturally, the power in the siege was also inevitably lost.
Perhaps, players who challenged that place would have thought, ‘It’s easier than I thought,’ and easily conquered the castle.
but.
‘The only thing you’ll gain is public service.’
The warehouses that had already been emptied because the castle had been taken over were never filled again.
As soon as players captured a castle, they would have to look at the empty warehouse with a dumbfounded expression.
Even after defeating the lord, you probably didn’t get a single proper finished product.
That’s a bit pathetic, but hey, it’s not bad for them since they were able to easily take over the castle thanks to Sehan.
… … At least, that’s what Se-un thought.
“But, brother. Where on earth are you going?”
“Why did you follow me when you didn’t even know that?”
“Well, I’m your right-hand man! I, Park Jeong-pil, will follow you wherever you go!”
“Even if it’s a dungeon full of monsters?”
“… … Was that so? Haha, hyung. You can let me off here. I can go back on my own. I can’t be a bother to you… … .”
“Okay, we’re almost there already.”
“Isn’t this the cliff we came over?”
“that’s right.”
The cliff dividing the third and fourth chapters of the tutorial.
Perhaps because the third chapter had already ended and all the surviving players had moved here, the bridge that had previously appeared had also disappeared.
However, it wasn’t just the legs that were missing.
“But, over there… …where did they all go?”
Park Jeong-pil asked the question with a dumbfounded expression.
Normally, Se-Woon would have sighed at that pitiful reaction, but he couldn’t help but be surprised now.
This was Se-un’s first time coming to the cliff since the fourth chapter began.
‘I expected it, but it’s true.’
What was visible on the other side of the cliff was not the vast plain that Seun’s clan had passed through.
Choaaaah-
The vast sea.
The waves rippled pleasantly over the vast sea that was wide enough to see the horizon. The water droplets crashing on the waves reflected the sunlight and sparkled like jewels.
As if all the tutorials I’ve followed so far were lies.
‘As expected, it wasn’t a mistake.’
In the fifth chapter of the tutorial, most of the monsters attacking the castle were underwater monsters.
Sea Lizard Man, Naga, Sea Serpent and Giant Turtle etc.
I don’t know where they all came from, they all came crawling up from the side of this cliff.
I came here to check the knowledge of the books I researched before returning… … .
Indeed, Se-Woon’s guess was correct.
This was the source of so many monsters.
“Hey, how long has it been since we last saw each other! Before we go back, can we catch some fish? Looking at the ocean makes me want some refreshing spicy fish stew!”
“That would be hard.”
“Just leave it to me! I used to be called the harpoon of Daesan-dong!”
When Park Jeong-pil got down from the saddle of the Red Wolf and tried to take off his upper body, Se-woon let out a small sigh and reached out his hand.
It would be quicker to show you than to explain.
-The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.
[ Lightning Spear ]
– The tower’s attack magic creates a spear made of lightning to pierce the enemy. It has a low accuracy rate, but has the advantage of long range and fast speed.
Dismissed!
“Tongue, bro!”
Wedge!
A long spear emerged from Seun’s fingertips and shot out toward the sea.
Although the distance was quite far, the brain spear created by extremely concentrated mana splendidly pierced through the overflowing water surface.
-The power of ‘Lightning Spear’ is strengthened according to the Black Tower’s magic.
Phagec!
The purple lightning spread out in waves.
The moment Park Jeong-pil saw that sight and thought that a few fish would float up, he tried to get them and said he would pick them up.
“Koooooo-!”
Unable to withstand the thrilling shock, one monster leapt up to the surface.
Mr. Serpent.
It was a sea monster that was also called the representative of underwater monsters.
The body was shaped like a snake, but the angular head looked more like a dragon.
The part that protrudes above the water’s surface looks to be well over 4 meters tall, so it was difficult to guess how big it would be if we also considered the body submerged under the sea.
“Eek!”
Seeing that sight, Park Jeong-pil fell backwards. If he had been even a little bit late, he would have ended up diving into the mouth of that sea dragon.
‘As expected, the monsters didn’t just fall from thin air.’
I felt confident.
All the monsters that appear in the fifth chapter are clearly ones that climbed up the cliff from this sea.
In that case, the information about the location of the demon you read before returning is more likely to be true.
“Leviathan… … .”
-The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Bowed’, looks down at the deep sea.
One of the seven demon gods that rule the demon world.
The location of Leviathan, the god of jealousy.
