Episode 10
The first time Kim Kang-han started playing games was when he came across a coin arcade machine he had seen at the age of six.
In front of a stationery store in a poor neighborhood.
Behind the crowd of people on the arcade machine there, Kang-Han Kim blankly watched what others were doing.
“Hey, would you like to try it?”
One day.
A middle school student in school uniform who stomped his feet and stood up asked.
A character with almost no HP appeared on the screen.
“I am going.”
A vacant seat where a middle school student arose.
Kim Kang-han, sitting on a plastic chair, started manipulating the pad.
-Stage 10 Clear
-congratulation
-Please enter your nickname.
-nickname : _ _ _
“Wow, crazy.”
“It’s all broken with one coin.”
stage all clear.
The people gathered next to the arcade machine were agitated.
It was then that Kim Kang-han came to his senses.
“How did you break this?”
“It was like being possessed by a ghost. While avoiding all the shells that are about to come… … .”
Another middle school student who was watching asked.
“I know just by looking at it. It seemed to work that way.”
You know it once you see it.
If you think about it, that was when it started.
observation.
No matter what opponent, at first glance, Kim Kang-han’s ability to see the strategy is.
‘I became a pro gamer thanks to that.’
It was around that time that he realized that he was the only one capable of attacking.
Of course, there is no such thing as a system window.
I just understand it with my head.
“… … .”
Glance.
Fafnir saw the troll zombie and wrote something down.
“Fafnil-sama?”
“here.”
Fafnir handed out a piece of paper with several notes on it to Hilde.
Hilde, who was reading the contents, was startled.
“Does this work?”
“I don’t have much time.”
The zombie troll in front of me had less than half of its HP.
Even the elite monsters, thanks to Bane’s sniping, are currently no one around.
But that’s for a while.
His HP is refilled.
What if the subordinates who were always by my side reappeared.
“By then it is already too late.”
Fafnir met Hilde’s gaze.
“Can you do it or not?”
“… … I could.”
Hilde answered simply.
“Catch the boss monster that was wiped out while attacking. Isn’t that the greatest humiliation for them?”
“It’s decided.”
Fafnir nodded and handed over the eyepatch.
But this time, Hilde waved her hand.
“I’ll try my best this time.”
Fafnir clapped.
“Then let’s start right away.”
It was the moment when the zombie troll strategy began.
* * *
-Name: Zombie Troll
– Classification: Undead
-Attribute: Dark
-Type: Melee
From noble mtl dot com.
-Level: 48~50
-Risk level (based on copper level): ★★
[pattern]
-Rush: Charge the first enemy you see with your strength. If you are at the same level, you must avoid it unconditionally.
-Arm Sweep: Pattern used after rushing. A wide-area skill that uses its arms wide around its surroundings. Can be defended by a tank of the same level.
-Normal Attack: Attacks following the movement of the target after sweeping the arm.
-Floor Smash: A wide-area attack that slams the ground by raising both arms high. Vibration affects an inside radius of 5 m.
-Berserker: Instantly goes berserk when dodging attacks five or more times. Movement speed and attack speed increased by more than three times.
-Caution: Because it is undead, debuffs and reaction controls due to pain do not work.
Kreur… … .
Hilde thinks of the pattern written in the information recorded by Fafnir.
‘I’ve only seen it once, but how did you write it in such detail?’
The instructions given after seeing the information were within the expected range.
The amazing thing is that he can find out this much information just by looking at it once.
‘I don’t think you did any research beforehand… … .’
Anyway, now was the time to test whether that information was correct.
The moment Hilde clenched her fist.
The zombie troll standing in front of him rushed straight ahead.
aaah!
The situation where all the subordinates are dead, but the appearance of not caring about the injured body.
Even though it is a huge body reaching 3m, it rushes at a speed faster than most cars.
If Fafnir hadn’t instructed him in advance, he would have been attacked knowingly.
Whiik!
Hilde, who avoided the attack, swung her fist.
Holly Attack.
The body of the troll hit by the skill shook greatly.
big!
Each of Hilde’s attacks was fatal to the undead monster Troll.
Literally, the fist itself that shrieks to the bone!
At the same time, Fafnir also launched an attack.
-Dark energy ball hit.
– It has little effect.
‘As expected, this skill doesn’t even get scratched.’
Necromancer’s main power is summoned undead and curses.
The basic skill was only for hunting in the early stages, and I couldn’t ask for more than that.
At best, it’s a purpose that draws attention for a moment!
is it big
The zombie troll got hit and reacted the same way.
After looking at Fafnir once, he focused his gaze on Hilde.
No wonder.
Because Hilde’s sharp fists were dozens of times more threatening than Fafnir’s water balloons.
“Here you are, you bastard!”
Kaaak!
The trolls attacked, but Hilde moved leisurely between them.
Remember the pattern Fafnir analyzed, and as soon as you see the sign, evade to the other side!
Occasionally hitting exposed vital points and giving additional damage.
“I’ll really catch you at this rate!”
Even Hilde, who was attacking, was surprised by the momentum.
But Fafnir’s gaze was different.
‘As expected, the attack will fail.’
At first glance, it looks like a troll being beaten one-sidedly.
It was an advantageous situation for all to see, but Fafnir knew this would not last long.
‘Even if it rots, it’s a boss monster… … . The difference between mana and physical strength is too large.’
Monk’s skill also costs mana.
Hilde’s mana through the party window was already less than half.
Besides, time is on the troll’s side.
Even if you block recovery, there were elite monsters that would respawn elsewhere.
Fafnir, on the other hand, suffered quite a bit of damage, and was unable to make up for it.
He hadn’t even learned the Necromancer’s specialty, the Skeleton Soldier skill.
The remaining elite skeleton soldiers were reverse summoned.
Even if you attack, you don’t even get proper damage because you lack skills.
‘That’s why it’s a plan I can think of.’
Of course, Fafnir perfectly anticipated this situation.
It was planned with that in mind in the first place.
‘I put all my attention on Hilde, and I’m in a state of forgetting.’
Originally, Hilde takes on the role that the Skeleton Soldier should play, and in the meantime, Fafnir prepares the dagger.
‘Now.’
The moment Hilde hits the link.
Fafnir raised the spear.
burn end.
The MP window went blank in an instant, and the black light from Fafnir’s entire body gathered at the tip of the spear.
“Hilde-nim!”
At that moment, Fafnir sent a signal and jumped into the air.
is it big
The troll didn’t care and aimed at Hilde.
You can take care of that mosquito after catching this poisonous insect.
Even that thought was Fafnir’s intention.
Poo-wook.
The attack power raised by Burn End was used to decapitate the zombie troll.
– Weakness attack!
– Critical hit!
– mortally wounded.
– I got a new realization.
– A new skill, ‘Single Point Strike’ has been created.
-The dexterity status has increased by +1.
cooong.
The zombie troll’s head fell and rotting blood splattered in all directions.
On top of that, Fafnir raised his spear again.
“I am not dead yet. Keep hitting!”
“Ah yes!”
Hilde, who had been standing in a daze, came to her senses.
At the same time, the zombie troll that remained only from the neck down began to move.
cooong! thud!
The body’s inability to speak.
However, this phase was easier than before.
No wonder.
Avoiding the attack of a body moving randomly with its head cut off.
There was no need to analyze or figure out the pattern, and it was enough to avoid it as it seemed.
Even time was against the troll.
Even if it was a zombie troll, it was because more stamina was lost than recovery after being decapitated.
how much time has passed
Whiik.
The moving troll’s body lost strength and fell backwards.
The troll collapsed on the floor, moved his finger a few times, then fell limp.
– Defeat the boss monster on the 1st floor of the Catacombs.
– Cleared the 1st floor of the Catacombs.
-Experience gained.
– Level up!
– Level up!
-Accomplished a new achievement ‘Two to the End’.
-Acquired +2 status points.
-Obtained Heylon’s robe (rare).
-Obtained the Imp Ring (rare).
-Obtained troll blood contaminated with dark mana.
-Obtained the Bloodthirsty Slayer’s Sword (rare).
-Obtained the Dark Mana Stone (rare).
I got -91 silver.
“I got it now.”
hunting success.
But Fafnir did not stop.
“Ji, really sleep… … Got it.”
“It was as expected.”
Fafnir spoke briefly and scanned the troll’s corpse.
‘I have to pack something before it disappears.’
– Gathering was successful.
-Obtained Troll Blood Crystal Corrupted by Darkness.
– Obtained the heart of a dark troll.
Sweep even small items before the corpse disappears!
“Now we distribute the loot.”
Fafnir started splitting the loot 50-50.
Three rare items.
Besides that, there were five or six pieces of general equipment and dozens of japtem.
‘Rares are 30, 60, and 350,000 won, respectively.’
It was for 5 people, so about 240,000 won per person would go back.
When the two monopolized it, the difference in gains was clearly felt.
‘If you divide it in half, it’s 60.’
“Wait!”
“yes?”
“I can’t take this much.”
Hilde waved her hand.
“Fafnir-nim did everything, but if I get the distribution, I have no conscience. I’m fine with just my experience and achievements, so don’t worry about it.”
It was Fafnir that made everything from the operation to the implementation, so he said he couldn’t touch it.
Seeing this, Fafnir thought.
‘Why is this person like this?’
Are you saying you want to quickly end the relationship and go somewhere else because you don’t need it all?
‘That doesn’t work.’
There was no other place where you could level up as quickly as here.
Fafnir forcibly placed the items in Hilde’s hands.
“It’s really good!”
“Originally, this should be done fairly so that there is no problem.”
“I won’t cause any problems later… … .”
“It’s because I was stabbed in the heart.”
The scuffle that took place for a long time ended with Hilde taking only 20% of the amount of gold acquired.
“It’s okay to take more.”
“My share ends here. You only need to take 20 percent of the total revenue.”
“But really… … .”
“It was Fafnir-nim who planned the strategy. If it wasn’t for Fafnir-sama, I wouldn’t have been able to try it, so this is right.”
Fafnir persuaded her once more, but Hilde did not give up.
In the end, Fafnir had no choice but to pick up the item.
It was then.
– Obtained the Bloody Key.
‘key?’
For a moment, Fafnir’s eyes swept around the dungeon.
Between the cracked stone walls, I saw a small groove that hadn’t been there before.
“Then shall we go back together?”
“Let’s go first. I have something to work on here for a while.”
“Can I wait for you?”
“I want to do that too, but I don’t think it’s possible to have a necromancer and a monk together.”
“oh… … . yes Then work hard.”
Hilde looked regretful, but she had no choice but to move on.
In the boss room left alone like that.
Fafnir inserted the key from earlier into the groove.
‘Enter.’
A key that fits.
It was the moment that turned it sideways.
From noble mtl dot com.
That’s right.
With the sound of machinery turning, the side of the wall Fafnir leaned against opened.
“Is it a secret room?”
A few dungeons in Horizon have hidden rooms or passageways.
Most of them gave small gold, potions, items, etc., but sometimes important quest items or big rewards were dormant.
Especially in boss rooms, most of them are the latter.
‘I think one more piece of equipment will come out.’
I’ll have to recalculate the share.
The moment I thought so.
– Found a hidden floor.
– Became the first discoverer of the 2nd floor of the Catacombs (cemetery) in Byron City.
– Achievement ‘Discover Hidden Floor’.
-Acquired the new title ‘Secret Excavator’.
-You can register information in the Explorers Guild.
-The dexterity status has increased by +1.
– Luck status has increased by +2.
-Acquired +1 status point.
-The first discoverer buff is applied.
– When hunting in the dungeon, the EXP double event is applied for a week.
– When the dungeon is cleared, the highest quality items that can be obtained will be guaranteed to drop.
‘This… … . That’s great.’
Even jackpots weren’t usually jackpots.
secret room.
It was such a big jackpot that you could think of something like a bonus room as ‘something like that’.
