Episode 76
Lee Cheong, an aspiring singer and broadcaster.
He has an idol-like appearance, a flawless personality, and even a voice like a singer.
He had everything, but he couldn’t follow him in just one thing, luck.
I failed the audition for 3 years!
He could have pursued a career in music production or as a full-time singer, but Lee Chung chose another path.
[Rudeus’ Horizon Exploration]
-Subscribers: 700,000
Rudeus is the 31st ranked bard.
Instead of being a singer, he became a bard, a bard who roamed Horizon with numerous subscribers.
Of course, it wasn’t easy.
The misfortune that plagued Lee Chung so much in real life always followed him even after he became Rudeus.
It was even more so in this period when peace ended and war came.
Hordes of orcs, thieves, and various monsters raging everywhere!
If other people counted meeting a monster as 1, Rudeus was closer to 10, ten times that number.
In the meantime, I sang like I was possessed and survived, but this time it seemed that even that would be difficult.
“Viewers, I think I will really die this time. This guy’s luck is really bad… … .”
＞hidra973 : Survival “failed”
＞Acid free: hahahaha you can’t pass!
＞Midvain: If you die here, where do you respawn?
“Ah, I think I will resurrect at the starting point. Then you can’t… … .”
After answering the chat, Rudeus looked around.
‘There’s not enough people.’
Even if you receive the bard’s buff, there is a limit because the number of people is insufficient.
Then one by one they fall down, a vicious cycle in which the burden on the remaining people increases even more.
At this rate, it is certain that the last line of deterrence will be breached sooner or later.
‘Somehow, suddenly, half of the party said they were going to the other side… … . sh*t!’
I expected it, but it’s the same situation.
Rudeus prepared for death and bounced his harp.
It was then.
By the time the last line of defense is about to be pushed back.
The people around them who were holding out shouted.
“uh?”
“They fall in!”
Suddenly, all the orcs started running away.
While the others were confused, Rudeus quickly looked around.
‘excuse me… … !’
A man appeared among the orcs. A man wielding a sword wearing a robe and covering his face with a mask.
＞Midvain: Huh? Orc, why are you missing?
＞Postica: Is it Eventon?
“Listeners, this is what I saw… … . Maybe someone is wiping out the orcs.”
＞Postica: Isn’t there no reinforcements here?
＞soju135 : hahahahaha, it seems like an ogre is running away. So far, every time I watch this person’s broadcast, that’s it.
＞Postica: Ah hahahaha
Instead of answering, Rudeus headed there.
After a while, the user wearing the mysterious robe began to appear again.
‘That person… … . Aren’t you a necromancer?’
A necromancer wielding a sword with a skeleton soldier.
It was a very strange combination, but at that moment Rudeus felt a tingling sensation in his spine.
‘This works.’
A bard or bard develops through singing and composing.
But it’s not like you can just make any song.
Wandering around with the knowledge collection skill that is given as soon as you change jobs.
When you witness an important historical event or a moment of a large quest, the saga points consumed in song production are filled up.
‘The more unique the person, the more points they give.’
After a while, you’ll get a chance to talk to the necromancer.
After talking about the gateway, Rudeus immediately proposed.
“Hey, Mr. Nek!”
“yes?”
“If you’ll excuse me, can we go party hunting together? It’s okay if it helps with the buff, it won’t hurt.”
“hmm… … . A party?”
Rudeus’ party proposal.
Fafnil shrugged.
‘At this point, it would be nice to see how great a buff the bard gives.’
The description that the bard’s song resonates whenever a large-scale war, PVP, or raid starts!
In the novel, bard was one of the essential classes for team battles, and it was a good opportunity to check its effectiveness.
“All right.”
“Oh, and one more thing… … . I’m on air right now, is it okay to be there?”
“A broadcast? that’s kinda… … .”
Rudeus added to Fafnir who expressed disapproval.
“Oh, it’s not that big of a show. It’s just a hobby, so turn it off… … .”
“hmm… … .”
He doesn’t like appearing on TV, but even Fafnil knows the sadness of being a minor BJ.
After thinking for a while, Fafnir nodded.
“what… … . That’s right, just go where you’re going.”
“Oh, thank you!”
Rudeus’ expression brightened.
‘He has good manners.’
Just talking about appearances on TV shows how many cases of asking for an outrageous amount of money or wielding weapons first.
Fortunately, it was fortunate that he accepted it without any problems.
“Thank you, my name is Rudeus.”
‘Rudeus?’
Fafnir tilted his head for a moment.
‘I think I’ve heard of it somewhere.’
First of all, it is not the main or supporting role in the novel.
But if you look at what you remember, it must be someone who was in the game information you found after a minor role or possession.
“Then, what is your nickname, Nek?”
“This is Fafnil.”
From noble mtl dot com.
Fafnil.
This time, Rudeus tilted his head.
‘Do you remember? Who is it?’
＞Mom, I want to be Ronalwood when I grow up: Fafnir?
＞Jaders: Someone did it, but it was Chapneil. These days, there are many necromancers following Fafnir, and he seems to be one of them.
＞Sejin: Rudeus, until what time are you broadcasting today?
A few viewers guessed the identity, but that was it.
“Then, how far is Fafnir going?”
Rudeus asked.
“I’m going to Byron City for a quest. If we go together, I think we can hunt for a party until then.”
“Byron City… … . It’s near the capital… … . If we take a detour from here, it will take about 20 days.”
“A detour?”
“yes.”
“why? You should keep going.”
“… … yes?”
If you go up right now, the Nevermore Gate, which will come out, is full of Orc names.
Is that all?
Even behind the Nevermore Gate, there were several elite Orcs and native monsters.
“hahahaha, you’re good at joking. Named orcs were scattered in front of me. It would take 200 people to break through.”
At Rudeus’ words, Fafnir shrugged.
“Nothing… … . Because I caught a lot of Orcs.”
“yes… … ?”
Rudeus blinked.
Meanwhile, viewers who watched the conversation reacted violently.
＞ lol
＞Ahhhhh
＞Patience hahahaha
＞Orc… … . I caught a lot… … . Kkeuk… … .
＞Felipe: hahahaha, he’s good at jokes. Keep going hahahaha
Most of them treat Fafnir’s words as a joke.
Some of them went a step further.
＞’Seran’ donated 100 diamonds.
＞“If you really kill 10 gateway orcs, you will get 1,000 diamonds”
Appearance of broadcast mission!
One diamond was 100 won, so 1 thousand was 100,000 won.
‘It’s a mission… … . It must be the performer’s responsibility to pay for what he received.’
A few small castle towers and walls were visible in the distance.
Dozens of Orc warriors wandering around the wall, the size of a five-story building.
It arrived at the Nevermore Gate.
* * *
“I’ll go in alone, so just apply the buff.”
in front of the gate.
Seeing Fafnir preparing for battle, Rudeus asked.
“Hey, is Fafnir-sama a hidden class?”
“yes? no.”
“Then why the sword?”
“Ah, this is because I was a little weird with my upbringing.”
“yes?”
“The stats are a bit strange, so I can only use elite skeleton soldiers and a few attack magic.”
Unlike most necromancers, Fafnir looks like a warrior with a sword!
＞Two-row melee necromancer!
＞Skeleton General
＞Champnil, but it seems like he’s copying Chimpnil… … ?
Rudeus smiled while watching the viewers’ reactions.
‘As expected, the response is good.’
Maybe I was finally getting lucky.
It was then.
An orc who was watching from the castle tower pointed in the direction of the two and shouted.
“Chwiik, two human bastards! Catch it!”
Orcs immediately ran out from within the gateway.
Some of them were almost the size of bears and had an ominous aura around them.
[Cursed Dark Iron Tribe Warrior Tazak]
[Shairok, Grand Shaman of the Dark Iron Tribe who handles madness]
Named with multiple titles!
In the middle of it, an orc much bigger than the other orcs was holding a huge mace.
[Cruuch]
There is no modifier, but that’s why the Orc is even more terrifying.
“It’s him! That guy is the leader of the orcs here!”
“Bard, buff.”
“Ah yes.”
Rudeus strummed his harp and sang.
The music of warriors and wizards resonating with clear voices!
-Attack power increased.
– Accuracy rate has increased.
– Resistance to abnormal status has increased.
– All elemental resistances have increased slightly.
– Magic attack power has increased.
– Movement speed has increased.
– Stamina has increased.
Every time Rudeus plucked the string, Fafnir’s body was filled with energy.
It’s a different feeling than just fighting.
I thought it would be helpful in many ways if I made a proper song and listened to it.
‘Shall we go soon?’
next moment.
Fafnir ran straight to the Orcs.
＞Popora: No? Mr. Fafnil? Why do you use front flashing!
＞Assehangachi: Ah, ‘bad luck’ worked again???
＞hidra973 : Gaedol “disqualified”
A hook was drawn in the chat window, but I didn’t care.
In an instant, the distance between Fafnir and the Orc warriors grew closer.
Avoiding the orc’s rush is the standard.
But Fafnir swung his sword at him.
In the next moment, something amazing happened.
“Chwikkueek!”
“Chwiik?!”
“Chwik! What happened!”
The rushing orc’s body was split in two as it was.
The Orc warriors on either side were startled.
“Chwiiik! A monster human!”
“Chwik! Surround it and capture it!”
The Orcs quickly regained their composure and surrounded Fafnir.
At that moment, bony hands protruded from the ground around Fafnir.
“Chwik!”
“Chwiik!”
Elite skeleton soldiers appearing like in a zombie movie!
In the meantime, the level of the skeleton soldiers had risen by 20 compared to the previous battle.
After properly equipping the equipment, the Orc Warriors began to be pushed back by the Skeleton Soldiers.
– Killed 20 enemies in a row.
– The Blood Demon Sword’s grudge attack effect has been activated.
Purple orbs came out of the sword and circled around Fafnir as if protecting them.
The ghosts inside the Blood Demon Sword spread like an aura.
‘no… … . Is this really strong?’
Fafnir, who was fighting, was surprised.
Originally, they were supposed to fight with moderate control, but because they had such good equipment, one orc died with each attack.
And that’s not all.
His HP, which had gradually decreased due to the blood-sucking effect, immediately rose.
Combined with the existing vampire aura and Nependeath attack, the regenerative power is almost at the level of Planaria!
‘Even if you tell me to keep fighting for ten hours, I will fight.’
I felt how great the effect of the epic item was.
Fafnir was excited and ordered.
“No. 3 continues to defend, No. 1 breaks through the enemy! The rest follow me!”
The battle continues without the need to summon normal skeleton soldiers!
The horse was fighting, and in fact, it was leading to a one-sided massacre.
“and… … . How is that? Did everyone see it? I am fighting five hundred orcs by myself.”
Rudeus, who had been watching from afar, opened his eyes wide.
＞’Seran’ donated 1,200 diamonds.
＞“Mission success chch, 200 is a tip.”
＞Yeon Gaesomun: Wow… … . just spring? They just openly take the orc attack from the front.
＞hidra973 : Dog fight “passed”
＞’I am a stock king’ sponsored 500 diamonds.
＞“Zampnil fights well!”
The viewers who watched the broadcast were also surprised.
＞soju135 : What is that person? Are you a guest today?
“Oh, that is the person I met today. This is the person who suddenly asked me to guide you after hearing about the Named Orc.
＞Sanity is safe: Eh, isn’t it like doing this after inviting someone in advance? You are a guest.
“It can’t be. I also met before the start of the broadcast today.”
＞soju135 : hahahaha don’t lie… … . There is no way that Rudy-nim is ‘lucky’ to meet such a person.
Rudeus and the channel’s viewers have built trust over a long period of time.
But this time they couldn’t help but doubt.
The Orcs at the Gateway to Nevermore were a group of monsters that could only be dealt with when a party of at least 6 people gathered with four or five people.
No matter how many skeleton soldiers there were, since he was crushing them alone, it was reasonable to suspect that he was the one who had been recruited in advance.
“Whoa. Then I can’t stay still, so I will cheer him up with a song.”
The number of viewers increased significantly from the usual 30 to 150.
It was then.
Fafnir, who was continuing the battle, looked back and was startled.
“Lord Rudeus!”
“yes?”
“You can’t touch it!”
“Do you touch me? where… … . ah.”
While looking around, Rudeus’ feet touched one of the magic circles.
– Rudeus canceled the ‘Sealed Magic Circle’.
– The ‘orc warriors stained with sealed chaos’ in the magic circle have been released.
-Orcs have arrived.
– Lack of luck.
– Bad luck!
– The elite cavalry of the Red Ax Clan orcs has joined the battlefield.
Black energy rose from the ground, and dozens of Orc warriors, half black and half red, appeared.
And that’s not all.
When the Orc cavalry, riding wolves from afar, joined again, the number of Orcs returned to their pre-fighting numbers before they knew it.
