Episode 19
“I will stake my name and ensure there will be no retaliation.”
“Who do you think you are?”
“I am Huon, a member of the Innocence Guild.”
“Huon is a pure bad boy… … .”
Huon.
The moment he heard the man’s nickname, Fafnir immediately remembered who he was.
‘It was a name that appeared in the middle of the game by luck.’
I’m not really related to the main character.
A well-known named user.
A character full of surprises after hearing the actions of the original protagonist, Flush.
It was this person who played the role of the so-called ‘raiser’.
‘Well, being mentioned in a novel itself is great.’
Because of this, Fafnir never thought that such a person would bow his head right away.
Of course, apart from that, you will receive what you will receive.
“Even if Huon-sama guarantees it, how do you know if that person will come back later?”
“that… … .”
“Please give me a firm guarantee.”
Fafnir got to the point.
“I’ll add you as a friend, and come right away if something happens.”
“Friends… … You mean?”
“Yes, in case that person tries to attack separately, it is for the purpose of contacting us at that time. I think that will give me peace of mind.”
“Um… … .”
Huon couldn’t answer right away and fell into trouble.
‘Well, that’s worth it.’
To be honest, it was a condition that didn’t feel a little overdone.
Even the smallest information is thoroughly valued and controlled by Horizon.
The community friend window of high-level users was something of high value in itself.
‘Now, if you refuse there, I will suggest a suitable alternative instead.’
In normal negotiations, the maximum conditions are presented first.
After that, didn’t we find a point of agreement by gradually lowering the conditions?
‘Even excluding the writers from the attack on the Wolf King is a success.’
It was then.
Huon, who hesitated, replied.
“All right. If Michelin Thai tries to harm you, then please whisper. We will do our best to help.”
‘Eh?’
Huon handed something to the surprised Fafnir.
“This is collateral and compensation.”
-Obtained the Blue Serpent Knights Ordinary Knights badge.
You got -3 gold.
1 gold was traded at 100,000 won, so 3 gold was a whopping 300,000 won.
In addition, he accepted the badge proving Huon’s class as collateral.
“Are you okay with this?”
“Everything is good, but one thing.”
Fafnil raised his finger and pointed to a Michelin tie.
“That person has to pay the 3 gold, why is a third party paying it? I have no intention of accepting it unless it is the person’s money.”
“… … !”
You can get paid here and go.
It’s cleaner that way, and there’s no chance of getting left behind.
But then, isn’t that Michelin tie going out without suffering any loss in the end?
‘I’m not going to see him again anyway, so I’ll have to take something more.’
“ah… … no… … .”
Sensing that something was going wrong, Michelin Thai was about to say something, but shut up.
“Or I have no intention of stopping either.”
“Mmm, crazy. That female user hit first… … .”
“Miss Michelin Thai.”
Huon, who stopped talking, ordered.
“3 gold, please.”
“… … .”
Michelin Thai looked around, but the situation was not good.
“sh*t!”
In the end, Michelin Tie took out three gold coins from his inventory and threw them.
“… … You guys, wait and see! I’m definitely going to get into this, so be prepared!”
Michelin tie can’t stand the branching and logs out as it is.
Fafnir sighed and said.
“Then I am… … .”
Huon asked Fafnir, who was about to step back and fix the trap.
“Come to think of it, Fafnir-sama, it seems a bit inconvenient to propose right away, but… … .”
“yes?”
“Well, from what I saw earlier, you seem to be pretty good at it. If you don’t have a guild, why don’t you join the pure bad boy guild?”
It’s a non-mainstream job called Necromancer, but the control just now was too impressive to just pass it over.
After receiving the offer, Fafnir thought.
‘Joining the pure bad boy guild would be helpful in many ways.’
As Huon belongs to, it is a guild with a lot of power in the original novel.
It should be quite helpful for group raids, gathering quest information, and trading materials.
However, there was one problem here.
‘The moment I join the guild, my actions are severely restricted.’
The Pure Bad Boys Guild is a business type guild that pays great attention to expanding its power.
Forced requisition is a natural step in a large-scale war or event.
It was also common to forcibly abandon individual quests for guild fame or merit.
Now we have to hurry up and widen the gap with ‘Flush’.
Wearing shackles like guild members or external events was never what he wanted.
‘Basically, it’s not fun to play games while listening to commands belonging to a guild.’
Games are meant to be enjoyed, not like work.
It was Kim Kang-han’s credo from his present life.
“sorry.”
“No, thanks. It’s not like I’m forced to come in.”
polite refusal.
Huon waved both hands and withdrew.
“If you ever need or want to join a guild later, you can always whisper in my friend window. then… … !”
After Huon and Michelin Thai disappeared.
The first thing Fafnir did was simple.
‘The human skeleton of a magic-loving thief. I can’t miss this.’
Immediately after bending down to the floor.
Collect user’s bones that can be used when making a skeleton bottle!
In Horizon, where the opportunity to do PVP without getting sick is rare, the user’s bone material was a pretty big harvest.
“master.”
Bell approached Fafnir, who was collecting items.
“If there is anything wrong, please tell me.”
“no it’s okay. Good job.”
From noble mtl dot com.
Moving without instructions is disobeying orders.
The exception was the matter related to Fafnil’s life.
‘I have an insurance skill, but that’s because it’s the last hand.’
If the homunculus looked at the opening first, he would be able to worry less and focus on attacking.
“Okay, we’ll continue hunting, so prepare the traps.”
“yes.”
After saying that, Bell turned to the elite Skeleton Soldier and hit Number 1 on the head without saying a word.
“… … .”
It was a strangely familiar scene.
‘Is there a military commander in the subject of summons?’
After a while, Fafnir finished the maintenance and resumed hunting.
Bloody wolves rushed in as if they had been waiting for the meat!
Perhaps because there was no one else, a whopping two hundred wolves rushed at once.
“No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 block the road, respectively, and Bell disturbs the rear!”
“All right.”
This time, it was a quantity that could not be handled with only a skeleton bottle and a bell.
In Fafnir’s eyes, it all looked like experience.
“It’s good!”
Trying to get that much experience for free is something a thief would do!
Fafnir also moved his body and fought, poking around the traps without a break.
Fight, fight, fight again!
-Critical Hit!
– Weakness attack!
-HP increased by 55 due to the effect of Vampire Aura.
-HP increased by 49 due to the effect of Vampire Aura.
As each attack inflicted a critical hit, the recovery effect of the vampire’s aura came in.
-Summon Skeletons!
In case of emergency, he summoned a new skeleton soldier and used it as a shield or armor.
It would break after three or four hits, but by that time Fafnir’s cooldown had already run out or it was after occupying a different location.
Wow!
The bloody wolves also used a strategy.
After somehow avoiding the skeleton soldiers and entering the camp.
Fifteen of them surrounded and attacked Fafnir at once.
moment of despair.
A red explosion exploded in front of Fafnir.
-Blood Explosion.
-Experience gained.
-Experience gained.
… … snippet… …
‘Explosions are best when they are gathered together!’
It feels like the world has slowed down.
Fafnir enjoyed it to the fullest and jumped over the trap.
how much time has passed
– Level up!
– Survived a battle to the limit.
-Achieved a new achievement ‘Breaking the limit in one hour’.
– Strength increased by 1.
-Health has increased by 1.
– Will has risen by 1.
Something to celebrate popped up and the last wolf fell.
On the stage where the battle ended like that, Fafnir looked around.
“after… … .”
‘It was a thrilling battle after a long time.’
The bloody wolves were formidable enemies.
With Fafnir’s current specifications, even one or two attacks can cause fatal wounds.
If it was the same for top-notch boss monsters and miscellaneous mobs to die in one shot, it could be said that it was that difficult.
‘I survived somehow… … . I also got a lot of rewards.’
Fafnir’s current level is 45.
Catching numerous bloody wolves, he had grown three levels at once.
The skill level has also risen significantly.
It was worth fighting for hours avoiding all attacks.
‘It’s not just me who has grown… … . Status window profile!’
[No. 1]
-Level: 48
[No. 2]
– Level: 47
[No. 3]
-Level: 46
[bell]
– Level: 51
Fafnir grinned after checking his familiars.
‘The Skeleton Soldier and Homunculus’ experience has risen enough.’
Fafnir got up from his seat.
‘Then shall we go catch the boss monster called the Wolf King?’
* * *
‘The Wolf King’.
It was a little over 2m tall, and it looked like a human torso attached to a wolf’s head.
Although the skin, fur, limbs, and head shape of a wolf.
Standing on two feet and wearing armor, he looked very close to a human.
Maybe it’s because I’ve already wiped out the wolves.
The name of the king of wolves was colorless, and he stood alone.
‘Of course I’m not completely alone.’
Fafnir looked around the Wolf King and narrowed his brows.
‘The problem is the guys who surround me around Bing.’
The green-skinned men around the Wolf King!
[Orc warrior of the strong green wind tribe]
[The Orc Shaman of the Bloody Green Skull Tribe]
[Orc leader of the Green Rock Tribe who captured more than 100 humans]
All of them were not ordinary orcs, but elite orcs with modifiers attached.
The two monsters who should have fought in their own way are protecting each other while walking around together!
‘I’m sure.’
-Lycan slope ‘Wolf King’ is protected by Orcs.
-Revealed a secret alliance between two hostile monsters.
– Additional rewards can be obtained when reporting the fact to the guards.
– Upon reporting this fact, it will be treated as a quest completion and you will receive 70% of the original reward.
Tring!
Fafnir, who closed the message, thought.
‘Just go back and say the quest is complete… … .’
Regular users will definitely come back.
However, Fafnir began observing the Wolf King instead.
No wonder.
In order to become the pinnacle, you have to know how to take this kind of high risk.
‘I have to analyze the wolf king’s movements first.’
The Wolf King is a monster that does not appear in the novel.
Because of this, Fafnir came up with a similar case for the attack.
‘Was it the invasion of Gray Wolves Mountain?’
in the original novel.
The part where Flush helped the halflings who were being persecuted and destroyed the fortress of the Lycanthropes.
There was a description of when he faced the lycanthrope.
‘I fight bare-handed with my forepaws, and occasionally use roar and berserk skills.’
In online games, it is extremely rare for monsters to have completely different patterns.
It is true that if it is the same species, it moves very slightly similarly.
No wonder.
It was even more strange that monsters belonging to the same category had completely different body structures.
‘According to the guard chief’s information, he’s a little stronger than the bloody wolves, so even if it’s high, he won’t go over level 70.’
After organizing some rough information, Fafnir nodded.
‘This is enough to hunt.’
However, there was one condition.
‘Before that, I have to get rid of those Orcs.’
If the wolf king is the boss of a stage.
Those orcs were like totems that applied various buffs to the wolf king.
‘Then what shall we do… … ?’
It’s easy to get rid of the orcs.
The problem is the Wolf King, who senses the signs of fighting and joins them right away.
‘Even if I wear a disguise, I’ll notice right away, and it’ll be the same if I set a fire or release poison.’
But it’s no use fighting the Wolf King alone.
pattern not resolved
It was then.
A thought suddenly passed through Fafnil’s mind.
‘wait for a sec.’
Wolves will respawn no matter how many times you kill them.
But the Wolf King is different.
Because it is a monster related to a quest, it is a unique entity that does not reappear once killed.
then… … .
‘I’ll have to experiment with those Orcs.’
The method was simple.
‘Then shall we begin right away?’
Fafnir got up from his seat.
It was the beginning of the attack on the Wolf King.
