Episode 41
seal of the underworld.
A skill that drastically reduces the opponent’s Dark attribute resistance.
It was a skill that Fafnir obtained instead of the hidden class.
“hmm?”
The Lizardman hit by the skill tilted his head.
I feel like something is wrong, but I don’t know why.
‘Is it because of my mood?’
Lizardmen’s instincts and senses are very sensitive.
But right now, nothing really happened.
‘In case you don’t know, I’ll have to go quickly.’
Albino Lizardman’s attack became even faster. The turbaned man’s hand, which was already on the defensive, began to sprain.
“Quit!”
At this rate, the turban man’s defeat is certain.
For the first time, the turbaned man’s look was relaxed.
“He’s a pretty good guy. Even though I am weak at my age.”
A laughing albino lizardman.
At that moment, Fafnir completed the slot conversion.
-Used Fever skill.
– The opponent’s body temperature has risen.
– Opponent’s resilience has been reduced.
From noble mtl dot com.
– Opponent’s stamina decreased.
– Extra effects!
– A vertigo debuff is applied to the opponent.
-Used a weakening skill.
– Opponent’s attack power decreased.
– Opponent’s defense decreased.
– Extra effects!
– Opponent’s strength status has decreased.
Tring! Tiriling!
Simultaneously with the message that appeared in succession, the albino lizardman’s body slowed down rapidly.
“Hey, man!”
Blue eyes, bloodshot, turned towards Fafnir.
‘Is this amazing?’
As resistance fell, light debuffs turned into fairly intermediate debuffs, and brought complications or additional effects that were not originally present.
Fafnir summoned Bell in that state.
“Bell, give me the bloody spear.”
“I take orders.”
After using the end burn skill, receive the spear of blood and throw it!
The bloody spear grazed the cheek of the albino lizardman who ducked his head to avoid the spear.
“Ouch! this guy!”
The albino lizardman tried to leave his body toward Fafnir without realizing it.
He was not a turbaned man to miss that opportunity.
– Shadow Blade.
The half-moon sword of the man in the turban cut through the chest of the albino lizardman.
At that moment, Fafnir opened his mouth.
It wasn’t joy. Rather, it was more like regret.
“It was shallow… … .”
“… … !”
“Big!”
The moment the turban man was about to step back, the albino lizardman punched out.
The turbaned man who was hit right on the head bounced off to the wall ten meters behind.
“… … Ugh!”
The turban man tried to get up and fell down.
As the battle went into a lull, the Lizardmen revealed their teeth towards Fafnir.
“These bastards… … . I didn’t leave my weapon behind! How dare you hurt me over a meal?”
Saaak, the venom dripping from the fangs soaked the floor.
However, even in front of a venomous face, Fafnir remained calm.
“You don’t look too good to say that.”
Because of the numerous debuffs and additional effects, the resistance to the dark attribute disappeared, so he suffered great damage from the turban man’s attack.
“Don’t get me wrong, I can kill just one of you.”
Of course, I still couldn’t be careless.
Even if you fight with all your might, the odds of winning are slim.
But that’s why Fafnir reached out to the approaching albino lizardman.
“Wait, let’s make a deal.”
“transaction? why me?”
“My friends and I are adventurers. Even if he dies, he is resurrected, so he must have delivered the news upstairs by now.”
“… … .”
adventurer.
If they were beings who would come back to life even after dying, the strategy was definitely wrong.
Fafnir continued.
“So step back now, the price is your life.”
“… … .”
“You know it’s not good for you to fight longer. I don’t know if you’re completely loyal to the orcs, but I don’t think it’s to that extent.”
Lizardmen is a neutral race. Although it helps the Orcs in their strategy, it is not enough to fight while thinking about the danger of their lives.
The albino lizardman who was standing there turned around.
“My name is Idaltir. Remember, human. I will definitely kill you next time.”
After those words, the albino lizardman quickly disappeared into the darkness beyond the sewer.
“… … Hey, hey, wait!”
The orc captain who was watching raised his voice, but it was already too late.
Fafnir summoned the Skeleton Soldier and Penelope in front of those orcs.
“You can’t miss the evidence.”
Moon-clack-clack!
Issues 1, 2 and 3.
In addition, many skeleton soldiers surrounded the remaining Orcs.
* * *
– Level up!
– Completed the completion conditions for the quest ‘Investigation of the Sewerage in Aden City’.
After dealing with the last orc, a message appeared.
It was the moment when the battle in the middle of the sewer ended.
“Whoa.”
However, Fafnir did not hastily collect the loot.
“adventurer… … .”
It was because the turban man who had recovered was still there.
“No, was it a player or not an NPC?”
“Are you going to fight?”
At Fafnir’s words, the turban man shook his head.
“If you are an adventurer, even if you die here, you will be resurrected and report back. Then there is no point in killing just to get rid of witnesses.”
Saying so, the turban man took out a mana stone from his chest and placed it on the knight statue. Mana flowed through circuits and devices throughout the room and began to operate.
“that… … .”
“It is a second-floor sealing device. Now, there will be no more orcs infiltrating through the sewers.”
There was a reason why monsters hadn’t invaded the capital for a thousand years.
“Just keep quiet about seeing me. If I tell you, nothing good will happen.”
“I will.”
“And that sealing stone… … . No, I don’t think I need to say this.”
The turbaned man stopped talking and threw something.
“It’s a conclusion, but… … . This is the price for helping me.”
“This?”
– Acquired a black tile (normal).
“One time. I’ll kill anyone just once. If you destroy that black tile, you will be able to contact me, the Grim Reaper.”
‘The Dark Reaper?’
The man in the turban lightly waved at Fafnil, who was surprised.
“If it is meant to be, we will meet again. then.”
Before he could say anything more, the turbaned man’s new type of smoke disappeared.
Left alone, Fafnir exhaled slowly.
“Whoa, I thought I was going to die.”
Turban man and albino lizard.
Either way, it was a much stronger opponent than Fafnir.
A dangerous situation in which both of them even aimed for Fafnil’s life.
“If I had been slightly sprained, I would have been stamping my feet in reality by now.”
In any case, it was fortunate that he survived.
“Now then, shall we really take care of it?”
After recovering his energy, Fafnir took the molars, equipment, and drop items of the dead orcs.
[Handwritten orders of the Orc Emperor Shurakan.]
[Green Tribal Grand Elder Shaman Chagankar’s Battle Earring (Rare)]
Acquire the Orc Captain’s items and orders!
Fafnir, who was searching through the rest of the corpses, thought.
‘By the way, an assassin who gives a black card is a Shinigami?’
A teenage villain from a novel.
Among them, the top three had a strength that was different from the others.
If other people play in the top 100 of the rankings, those three are enough to be in the top 10.
Among them, the assassin who gave the black plate was called the death god by the people.
“Then the turbaned assassin from earlier is the Shinigami?”
Giving him a black plate is the same, and calling himself a jet-black reaper seems to be correct.
“There are all kinds of strange things.”
Fafnir, who muttered and looked over the corpse, suddenly thought.
“… … Wait, then that assassin was a player, not an NPC?”
* * *
“Is that true? Hundreds of orcs have infiltrated underground in this capital city?”
The King of Baran Kingdom, Leodek V, was now a boy in his late teens.
“Yes, here is the evidence.”
-I handed over 30 Orc’s Fangs.
-I handed over the handwritten order of the Orc Emperor Shurakan.
Fafnil presented the evidence he had gathered beforehand.
3 days for others to reconnect.
In real time, they were supplemented by going around the sewer for an additional ten days.
“Unbelievable… … .”
“According to what I have confirmed, the orcs were plotting similar plots in various places in the southern provinces besides the capital. If it weren’t for these adventurers, there would be great chaos in the country.”
“Not only that.”
Count Corvo whispered.
“If you look at this part, it says that each castle gate will open at midnight, so go in at once. What does it mean when the gates of the city, surrounded by thorough guards, are opened?”
“What do you mean, Count?”
“… … I am an introvert. We have a traitor within us.”
A team member who touches the enemy is more frightening than the enemy.
It was a fact that I could sympathize with while playing AOS games.
“Oh, that can’t be… … !”
King Leodek V’s face, which had been white as if it had been covered with flour, was even more pale.
“Fortunately, these adventurers stopped the conspiracy. It was a good idea to hire them just in case.”
“The Count was right.”
King Leodek V turned his head and said.
“You guys did a great job in the sewers. Revealed a conspiracy by savage orcs and saved three million citizens of the capital, no, the whole southern kingdom. That ball is very big.”

The Golden Pigeon Seal, a nationally recognized pass and an item that can be entered anywhere!
In a large guild in need of personnel development, all four were given an item they wanted to buy or rent with their eyes on it.
– The name spreads to the aristocrats of the Kingdom of Baran.
– Reputation has increased by 10.
– You can receive high-level quests from the nobles of the Baran Kingdom.
It is a bonus to have the king and other high-ranking aristocratic NPCs clearly remember their names.
It was also possible to accept any number of high-ranking quests in the noble family right away.
“thank you.”
“They say it’s a job, and it’s really great!”
After leaving the royal castle, all three of them sat at the bar with expressions of joy on their faces.
Kindorhan in particular was more excited than the other two.
“If this is the case, permission for vigilantes will be swift.”
Gangs recognized as vigilantes by the state are very different from other gangs.
You can legally engage in gang activities without worrying about government crackdowns or paying bribes, and you can easily make friends with high-ranking nobles.
Is that all?
High-ranking quests given by noble families are at least rare, and there are also hidden pieces that other users cannot obtain.
It might be difficult, but it wasn’t that big of a problem.
“Anyway, thank you for waiting for me. Thanks to that, I was able to tour the palace and meet the king’s NPC.”
Fafnir grinned at the wizard’s gratitude.
“Anyway, I had a lot of work to do in the meantime. It is a combination of both.
From noble mtl dot com.
“Hey, Fafnir, call me if you need help again later.”
Shuk, Kindorhan made a circle with his fingers and continued.
“If the conditions are met, I will help you as much as you like.”
Drawing the line that nothing is free!
However, Fafnir smiled inwardly.
‘Kindorhan is loyal no matter how he looks. They say that, but it’s safe to say that they’ve already become mine.’
Maybe if you don’t know, it will be a great help.
Then Kindorhan spoke up.
“Come to think of it, I’m curious about one thing, how the hell did you clear it? Please tell me.”
“Oh, that’s right. How did you catch that monster?”
The wizard listened to the question and joined in.
The hunter drank his beer without saying anything, but as he glanced this way, it seemed that he was interested.
“that… … . The turbaned man helped. It turned out that he was also a player.”
“A player? Is that person?”
“No, really?”
Fafnir told the story of what happened with the Grim Reaper.
Kindorhan, who was listening to the contents, suddenly lowered his head.
“Why? Do you know anything?”
“… … Kut.”
shaking. Kindorhan even trembled.
The moment Fafnir thought about asking more, a gigantic laugh erupted from Kindorhan.
“Puhahahaha! It’s said that Ji is the death god in pitch black. The user paints with his mouth. Oh, I’m dying, hahahahaha!”
bang, bang. Kindorhan punches the table with his fist.
“No, how could a user name be Chi. really… … . hehehehahahaha!”
“… … .”
Fafnil licked his lips.
‘I’d rather not tell you about this.’
In the novel, Kindorhan’s future title is Yawang.
He said he was the king of the night, but it reminded me of the description that people used the word with a slightly different meaning.
