Episode 86
Fafnir’s party continued to advance inward.
My specs got stronger while I was doing a lot of work.
As combat experience accumulated and got used to it, opponents of monsters that were stronger than that became possible.
“Go forth and fight!”
Inside the tomb, there were not only undead, but also some monsters with physical bodies.
Fafnir fought at the forefront whenever he met them.
‘It’s a good opportunity to get the ingredients.’
Ingredients from the bodies of high-level monsters, such as their flesh, blood, and bones.
It could be used as a material for black magic or to make equipment, but other methods were also possible.
– New bones were fed to Elite Skeleton Soldier No. 1.
– Damaged parts of Elite Skeleton Soldier #1 have been restored.
If you use dark mana, your bones will grow.
But it was far better to use these bones separately.
The reason is simple.
This is because if you give them good quality and strong bones, you can get additional stats.
– The defense of Elite Skeleton Soldier #1 has increased by +1.
– The maximum attack power of Elite Skeleton Soldier #1 has been increased by +1.
Of course, like beans sprouting in a drought.
If you repeat it, your bones will become stronger and stronger on their own.
‘It’s not top-notch, but it’s worth feeding enough for bones like this.’
Beastman Skeleton is a strong monster.
But those bones are hundreds of years old.
It couldn’t be said to be the best because it was poorly preserved or corroded.
‘As expected, it was good that I collected a large amount of Max Capybara’s bones.’
In the world, it is treated as a top-notch ingredient, but it is one of the common japtem that is now piled up in the inventory!
Fafnir generously fed the Skeleton Soldiers with the bones of the Horseman and Max Capybara.
“Then I’ll go outside for a while.”
“Have a safe trip.”
During the break, he toured the surrounding dungeons and solved the overdue quests.
A funeral mass is held with incense burning in the empty skull!
Hundreds of bodies were buried, but once they got the hang of it, they were able to dispose of them quickly.
the third day like that.
Fafnir was finally able to give the last corpse a funeral service.
-You have completed the quest ‘Funeral Mass (Normal)’.
-Experience gained.
– King Hades is delighted with your actions.
-Intelligence status has increased by +1.
-The knowledge of darkness has deepened.
-Dark attribute resistance increased by +1.
“Manson, it’s all over.”
“Ahh… … . everyone has paid off Thank you so much. thank you… … . Now I can escape… … .”
Paaah. The whitish ghost of Manson spoke one last time.
“Take it. These are the things we promised.”
– Obtained Manson’s favorite sword (rare).
– Acquired Unidentified Goddess Statue (Normal).
-Obtained a strangely shaped totem (normal).
Manson’s ghost disappears as it is.
‘I’m glad I didn’t care about likability.’
No matter how much you build up a good impression, it will all be in vain if the NPC disappears.
‘Still, should I be satisfied with completing the quest?’
The quest that was woven like a spider’s web in the surrounding dungeons was now over.
I ate the experience points and items, and personally, I feel like I’m going to have a good time.
‘Now I just have to focus on hunting on the first floor.’
As the level rose, the living armor near the entrance could be quickly hunted alone.
I must have pulled out all of the first discoverer buffs, and since I didn’t have to go around, I felt a bit more relaxed.
“Kuuu… … !”
As we continued to enter the dungeon, a four-armed horsebrigade appeared in gorgeous armor.
[Balance]
“You are an intruder! How dare you say where is this place!”
The battle with the named magician that follows immediately!
Fafnir used the skill.
“Pandaemonium Nependeath!”
A skill that consumes a lot of MP and has a long cooldown, but has the strongest destructive power.
The pillar of light Rihana called fell on the horseman who lost his balance, and Drexler, Veron, and Hilde joined in and hit the named horseman.
-Experience gained.
– Level up!
– Obtained Valarance’s Swinging Hand (rare).
Clearly defeat the named horseman and level up.
A smile bloomed on Drexler’s face when he saw the rare equipment item.
“Wow, great!”
“With this, we earned our monthly rent this month.”
Veron agreed with Drexler’s words.
“Let’s rest for a bit and then go inside.”
said Hilde.
But at that moment, Fafnir’s expression hardened.
“… … I don’t think that will work.”
“yes?”
“Someone is coming this way.”
“… … !”
After a while, several figures appeared in the passageway toward the entrance of the dungeon.
“What are these guys?”
Chuck, Chuck.
A group of people wearing the epaulettes of the Iron Blood Pledge.
It was filled with expensive-looking items, and it was clearly different from ordinary users.
“Hey, what are you?”
One of the dancers who came out of the middle said.
“A beast’s heart, or out of his mind. What are you thinking about hunting in the Sangvis clan controlled area?”
“Iron Blood Pledge… … !”
I deliberately moved away from the center to hunt secretly, but it seemed that the other side noticed it.
‘The other rankers are not.’
One corner of the martial artist’s mouth went up.
“I saw that the liver was sticking out of the stomach. Hunting even names.”
“Are there any problems?”
Fafnir stepped forward and asked.
“There was no one at the entrance, and you are the first people I met.”
“that… … .”
The martial arts man, Iron Blood Jin Kwon was speechless.
That’s natural.
This is a hidden dungeon that I finally discovered a while ago.
under strict information control.
It was a ‘high-level riotous place’ that was being pioneered in top secret without sending out a single rat.
“… … That’s right, because this dungeon is designated as our property by kingdom law! You guys won’t even see the faces of noble NPCs, so I don’t know.”
In the end, Iron-Blooded Jin-Kwon continued, evasive language with the term “national law.”
“Anyway, this place hasn’t been announced yet, and it’s been a long time since it became a dungeon owned by the Sangvis League by national law. So it can be said that we are justified in controlling this place.”
Anyway, that means control.
Fafnir asked a new question.
“What if it’s control?”
“There is nothing wrong.”
Iron Blooded Jinkwon nodded.
“Originally, I should have paid all the experience points, but I’ll take care of it only this time in particular.”
“then?”
“Give me all the items. I will pay for it.”
A situation where all japtem and high-end equipment obtained during a few days of hunting had to be forcibly released.
“What is the price?”
“1 gold for each rare item, 1 silver for simple equipment, and 1 copper for the rest of the japtem.”
“Are you guys really crazy?”
A sharp voice echoed through the hall.
The shock was so great that even Hilde’s party, as well as the Iron Blooded Forces and his subordinates, looked there for a moment.
“Even if I bring a freshman in elementary school, no Yuding, and calculate it, I will get it right. If it were me, I would have bitten my tongue and died long ago, rather than wearing that head.”
“… … .”
Unbelievably harsh words coming from a small red-haired girl.
“This child… … . I tried to get over it, but I couldn’t.”
Eventually, the iron-blooded fist exploded.
“Beat them all! Caught in… … .”
Quaang!
Before he could even finish his words, an explosion occurred under the fist of Iron Blooded Jin.
“Cheak!”
Iron Blood Jin Kwon screamed with his arms crossed.
At that moment, bone fragments holding spears rose from under the ground.
“Daughter!”
“Daddak! Exactly!”
Skeleton Soldiers, Skeleton Knights, and summoned creatures all at once!
Fafnir and Sangvis Fist shouted almost simultaneously.
“This is the judge! Everyone fight!”
“Beat and kill them all!”
It was the moment when the battle between Hilde’s party and the Iron Blood Alliance guild members began.
* * *
‘These guys… … . count.’
Hilde’s party, Drexler broke into a cold sweat.
‘The specs themselves seem to be similar… … . He’s so good at fighting people and PVP.’
Their party is adventure oriented.
Of course, it specializes in exploration, monster attack, and hunting.
Even if the party consists of a lancer, a warlock, a monk, and a cleric.
While the spearman draws aggro, I tend to focus on hunting monsters and exploiting their weaknesses.
On the other hand, the members of the Sangvis Guild are swordsmen, warriors, martial artists, wizards and priests.
Since there were as many as three avant-gardes, it was difficult for the spearman Drexler to handle alone.
If it hadn’t been for Fafnir’s help, it would have collapsed quickly.
‘The job balance is too different.’
Even the skill of the wizard over there was too good.
It’s not that Veron’s skills aren’t inferior, but the way he faces both at the same time by himself is unmatched.
‘If you want to overdo it, you can pierce it, but I’m slowly tightening it. These bastards are masters.’
It looks like the Middle Ages, but if it flows like this, it will lose unconditionally.
‘Especially that martial artist is the biggest problem.’
Martial arts is a very peculiar profession.
A job that virtually no one does at an adventurer’s party!
From noble mtl dot com.
Fisting or kicking against monsters rarely worked.
A job that can increase experience points only through confrontation with humanoid monsters, NPCs, and the same player.
Without backup from a large guild, it was one of the jobs that was virtually impossible to nurture.
‘It’s even more difficult because it’s a job that specializes in warfare.’
It wasn’t that Hilde’s party lacked skills.
It’s just that the Iron Blood Alliance guild members were incredibly strong.
The level as well as the equipment worn on the body are all of the highest quality by current standards.
“Where are you looking? Triple Ghost!”
“Ugh!”
Drexler allowed Sang-Blood Swordsman’s skill and backed off.
“Dig into conversion!”
and subsequent connections.
“They say that one-day puppies don’t know how to be scary, so they attack us even though they know who we are?”
The mouth of the martial artist, Iron-Blooded Jin-Kwon, smirked.
They are characters who have their own place in Iron Blood.
They were elite users who not only had temps but also skills.
‘They’re quite talented.’
Fafnir, who was watching the fight from one side, nodded.
In many-to-many battles, in the end, the connection between each other is important.
Fafnir watched from one side so as not to interfere with Hilde’s party’s passing.
and concluded
‘If they were dragon hunters, they’d probably be at least B rank.’
If they step out soon, they will be able to slaughter them all.
‘For now, to the side.’
The front is in full swing, so don’t interfere.
Fafnir’s new model headed for the martial artist at the far right.
“What is it, bastard?”
Iron Blood Jinkwon, who had been knocking down the skeleton soldier, raised his forearm slightly.
A body full of passive skills is an iron wall that can withstand the attacks of quite a few dealers.
However, the moment Fafnir’s blade touched it, blood gushed out of his forearm.
“Ahh!”
-I got the ‘cold’ debuff.
– The strong body has negated the debuff.
– ‘Anemia’ debuff caught.
-The tough body reduced the effect of the debuff by 30%.
The power of an epic level item that cuts through even a hard body!
In addition, debuffs pouring down due to special abilities.
“Oh sh*t! How strong is this kid?”
“I thought it was an extra because I was just watching! Be careful!”
The Iron Blooded Killers reacted calmly.
Fafnil’s movement shown earlier.
Although it was a surprise attack, he was never an opponent to belittle.
“Did you see what skill he was using?”
“Mo, I didn’t see it.”
“Looking at his movements, that bastard swordsman! Prepare your defense skills and prepare to put in checkers!”
Orders came and went in no time.
That is proof that they are elite.
Not even a word was said about who would go where.
“me!”
“me too!”
The warriors stood in front, and the archers aimed their bows at them.
However, there was one mistake.
“Rihana restores blood, and Veron hashes me.”
Fafnir lightly gave instructions and ran to the Iron Blood gang.
‘They think I’m a prosecutor.’
Fafnir stretched out his sword pretending to use a skill.
“That bastard Great Bash!”
“Attack when there is a gap!”
A gap deliberately shown.
Daron, who is in charge of the Iron Blood gang’s striker, aimed for this.
Great Bash has a 1 second gap right before use.
‘I thought he was a master just by looking at his body movements, but PVP isn’t zero.’
The skill Daron used was Super Speed Island.
With a casting time of 0.1 seconds, it is a swordsman skill that can quickly and strongly cut down enemies when cast.
In particular, Daron’s super-quick island is a vision skill that has been stunned for 0.3 seconds.
It was a special move that even quite a few swordsmen and thieves found difficult to counter.
‘Down!’
The moment I was just about to use super speed island.
“… … !”
You suddenly feel a cool sensation in your ankles.
“Oh, sh*t!”
Daron couldn’t finish his sentence.
damn A skeleton appeared through the dungeon floor and knocked over Daron’s body.
