Episode 113
113. Level 60
This is when the players start pointing their swords at each other, as expected.
‘It’s time to move on.’
Ryu Min walked away as if he had been waiting.
And after using invisibility, he changed his appearance without anyone noticing.
In the form of a roast yak.
‘If you help the dwarves in the form of a black scythe, it will be revealed that you betrayed the traitors.’
Ryu Min watched the situation while remaining invisible.
He was waiting.
The moment the traitors attack the dwarves.
‘You’ll probably feel impatient once the search begins. Then, the traitors will try to kill the dwarf first out of fear that their true identity will be discovered.’
I don’t know about other merchants, but the Dwarven merchant merchants have a small number of participants, so it is very easy to find them.
Because Ryumin was repeating the past, I knew in advance that something like this would happen.
‘Usually they say we’ll hunt them down during waves 4-6, but this time it’s a little late.’
It doesn’t matter because it’s enough to take that variable into account, and Ryumin just needs to hide like this and wait.
May the prey take the bait.
‘It’s finally moving.’
Ryumin’s eyes caught the traitors moving.
Because I knew the faces of the traitors in advance and could read their thoughts, I was able to easily see them.
‘We’re targeting the leader of the dwarves, Haimer.’
There are four traitors trying to target Haimer.
Ryumin held up the sword he had prepared in advance.
Of course, the scythe was not taken out for fear of its identity being discovered.
Since it’s not your main weapon, your skills may not be transferable.
‘There are about four guys who are less than level 30, and it’s not even enough distance to exercise after a meal.’
There was no problem preventing the traitors from attacking.
Crack-tap-tap-
The guys moved.
Ryumin, who had been waiting by Hymer’s side in a state of invisibility in advance, did not appear.
‘Not yet. You have to act at a dramatic time. That’s how we can maximize Hymer’s friendliness.’
The traitors rushed in at the same time, targeting Heimer.
“Warriors of this world! “What’s happening all of a sudden?”
Hymer is talking enthusiastically, not even realizing that he is a target.
Then he realized too late that there was a blade aimed at him, but it was already too late.
No, it was when I thought it was too late.
visor-!
When Ryumin threw away his sword, the invisibility was lifted.
“Are you okay?”
“Uh, uhh. you are… … .”
“Hide behind me. “These guys are targeting Mr. Haimer.”
After giving Haimer an appropriate line, I glanced back and forth.
Two in front, two in back.
Four traitors surround Ryumin and Haimer.
It exudes a decent quality of life.
“What is that guy? “Where did you come from?”
“Do not disturb and get out. “If you don’t want to be left behind.”
The one-day puppies, who would have curled their tails right away if they had a black scythe face, growl at Ryumin.
“No, I don’t have time, so just search.”
“You brought this on yourself while trying to save the dwarves, so don’t blame me.”
Suddenly, the four rushed at the same time as if they had made a promise.
It was an angle that could not be blocked unless there were four swords.
however.
Clap clap clap clap-
Ryumin somehow managed to deflect the blade of his sword and stabbed the traitor in the chest.
Deeply-
“Kahahahah!”
“I am.”
After pulling out the sword, I immediately struck down the sword of the guy behind me and cut off his shoulder.
Suddenly-
“Aaaah!”
“You really have no mercy towards those who point a knife at you?”
As the two were defeated in an instant, the remaining traitors were taken aback.
But what was even more embarrassing was seeing his own body at some point.
That is, a body that stumbles and falls down with its head cut off.
Tuk-tuk-
Ryumin finished speaking only after the two heads fell to the floor.
“You brought this on yourself, so don’t blame yourself.”
There was no answer from the person who was already dead.
The surrounding players were impressed when they saw Ryu Min’s skills.
“Wow, what? “That person?”
“Aren’t your skills a joke?”
Because it was the face of a roast yak, no one could guess that it was a black scythe.
He was even wearing a sword and different armor.
“Amazing? “You saved the dwarf.”
“How come such a talented person didn’t get noticed?”
“uh? “I guess that’s what I heard?”
It didn’t take long for my doubts to turn into acceptance.
Since there were over 200 people, it was no surprise that it was my first time seeing it.
Meanwhile, I looked down and saw the dwarf Hymer still calming his shocked heart.
It seems he didn’t expect that he would be attacked by a guard who wasn’t even a monster.
“Hey, what’s going on?”
“There is a traitor among our team.”
“Bae, traitor?”
“The sight of us attacking each other a little while ago was also to hunt down traitors.”
Hymer nodded and brushed his beard as if he finally understood.
“There was a traitor among the warriors of this world. “If I did this, it would have almost been a big problem.”
“Haymer! “We must protest at the temple immediately!”
“you’re right! “The people you were supposed to protect turned into enemies!”
“It’s hard to get to your destination like this… … .”
“That’s it!!!”
The dwarves who were protesting against Heimer’s shouting simultaneously became a group of people.
The voice was so loud that even the players who were poking each other stopped what they were doing and turned around.
“Is it time to consider such things now? “Wouldn’t the most confusing thing at this moment be the warriors of this world who knew that the traitor was hiding?”
“… … .”
“… … .”
Haimer looked up at Ryumin.
“Thanks to you, my miserable life was saved. “I would like you to tell me the name of my benefactor.”
Hymer waited for an answer with sparkling eyes that did not match his appearance.
Ryumin, who had to hide his identity, could not say it was a black scythe.
Especially when people around you are paying attention like this.
‘But if you tell a false nickname, it will be difficult to receive benefits from the dwarves.’
An awkward situation.
‘But it doesn’t mean there is no way.’
I don’t know about others yet, but there was a system for times like this.
It’s a title.
Ryumin selected one of the many titles he had acquired so far and clicked ‘Unhide’.
[One who goes ahead]
Instead of a nickname, a title appeared above my head.
You can hide your nickname, but you cannot hide your title.
The players open their eyes wide at that sight.
“what? “That?”
“Why is that person the only one whose nickname is visible?”
“We don’t have any?”
Players who don’t know it’s a title raise questions, thinking it’s a nickname.
‘Well, I’ve never gotten it, so it’s easy to not know.’
Since titles were harder to obtain than runes, Ryumin understood the reactions of those around him.
At that time, Hymer looked surprised.
“huh? Da, you? “The one who goes ahead?”
It seems that he can see that the title has been made public.
‘But for otherworlders, the meaning is different.’
To players, it was simply a letter to replace their nickname.
‘It seems like these guys mean something.’
As if there is an internally determined story, people react to it when the title is revealed.
“You were the one who took the lead.”
“Oh, somehow!”
“You who go ahead. “I have heard of your reputation.”
When the title was revealed, there was an atmosphere of preferential treatment.
Ryu Min had nothing to lose, so he just played along to the beat.
“Is that so? “I’m probably not that famous.”
“Hehe, those who go ahead are humble.”
Haimer burst into laughter, but then expressed his gratitude with a serious expression.
“Thank you for saving me. You who go ahead. If it weren’t for you, I would have been skewered and left lying around on the stone floor.
“It’s really scary to even think about it.”
Ryumin looked at Haimer, who was shaking, and asked, just in case.
“Do you mind if I say my name?”
“What does the name mean? “You already have a reputation as a leader.”
Ryumin nodded.
‘As expected, we can replace the nickname with a title.’
Now, even if you meet a dwarf other than Hymer, you will be able to win the dwarf’s favor just by revealing this title.
As if to prove that fact, a message suddenly occurred to me.
[Dwarves’ reputation for those who lead has increased from ‘neutral’ to ‘friendly’.]
As hoped, it attracted the favor of the dwarves.
‘This is the positive function of a title.’
Even as Ryu Min laughed at the message, the search for traitors continued.
but.
“Chwiik-chwiik!”
“Chwiik!!”
The search operation was temporarily halted due to a sudden orc attack.
Ryumin also protected the dwarves from the orcs this time, not with a black scythe, but in the form of a roast yak.
Action was taken to further solidify friendship.
just as expected.
-It’s really reassuring to have someone leading the way.
-Your skills are also outstanding compared to other warriors.
-It would be truly an honor if he used the weapon I made.
The dwarves who were watching Ryumin’s inaction continued to be amazed in their hearts.
Ryumin could only sigh at the slower hunting speed than usual.
‘The dwarves are watching this, so I can’t even undo my transformation. I have no choice but to hunt this wave with all my might.’
To be honest, I was dissatisfied with the hunting speed, but there wasn’t that much of a difference.
If it had been a scythe, it would have killed four with one hit, but with a sword, it’s just a hassle to have to stab it four times.
‘But only if I can build friendship with the dwarves and receive rewards.’
Perhaps Ryu Min will give me the reward I’m after after the escort is over, but I built up my reputation just in case.
Because there was no harm in making sure.
At that time, a welcome message appeared in front of Ryumin, who was catching an orc.
[Your level has risen!]
[The grade has increased from ‘Expert’ to ‘Master’.]
[From now on, you can use the duel request function.]
He reached level 60 and rose to master level.
At the same time, a function called duel request was created, and it was a very useful function.
‘You can fight with each other’s items on the line, or you can fight with the promise of something.’
To put it simply, it was a one-on-one duel with each person putting up collateral, and the winner would take the prize. It was a function that was often used in reality rather than in the other world.
[To commemorate the level increase, the Seal of Death skill will be strengthened!]
[The additional damage of the Seal of Death skill increases from 140% to 160%.]
[To celebrate your level increase, your Night of Death skills will be strengthened!]
[The range of the Death Night skill is increased from 1,000m to 1,500m.]
[To commemorate the level increase, Moonlight Island skills will be strengthened!]
[The range damage of the Moonlight Island skill is increased from 1,200% to 1,800%.]
Existing skills were strengthened one after another.
It was a happy task, but Ryu Min’s eyes were drawn to a newer skill.
[In addition, you have learned the Shinigami-only skill ‘Red Moon’!]
[The following skills can be learned automatically when you reach level 99.]
[Exclusive skill – Red Moon]
-Effect: Moonlight Island’s cooldown is reduced to 1 second for 10 seconds. Red Moon can be used again only after the 24-hour cooldown.
