115 – I stole it today too.
As its name suggests, the gray mold is a monster that is close to the fungi of our world.
Because it is flammable, fire spreads easily, and the concentration of smoke that causes slowness increases when it touches fire. So, in many ways, it’s better not to use fire when catching them.
However, because Ham Eun-yeong was there and she had no experience of using magic to properly kill enemies, she dared to use the fireball.
I threw a fireball into the space that was spread like a cloud in the air. Soon, a series of dull sounds were heard, like a sponge being hit by a firecracker, and they hurriedly spit out dark gray smoke.
While inhaling that smoke, your movement speed drops drastically, and after a certain amount of time, you become unable to move at all. They live in such a way that they stick to the body of a hardened creature and take away its vitality.
‘Hmm… Can’t I just do it once?’
The fire was spread quite a bit by the fireball, but it seems that it only dealt a minor damage with one burst. Then…
[Fireball] [Fireball] [Fireball]…
I created fireballs in succession and threw them randomly at the gray colony. It was a hit because it spread widely, but anyway, when I first tasted my hand with magic, I felt a thrilling current go through my body.
‘Kyahahahahaha!! Yes, this is it!! Burn everything up!’
Pupper puffer pung—!!
As expected, explosions are beautiful. Shouldn’t I have just picked up the doom bomber tech right away?
mana: 137/161
Fireball was a beginner magic, so it consumed less mana, and I got excited for the first time in a while and fired fireballs in all directions like a madman.
“······ Oh my God, what is that”
I heard someone’s astonishment behind me, but I was originally born in the dark. Looking a little crazy can be effective.
I fired dozens of fireballs like that, and a long kill message came to my mind at once.
– Killed the gray mold!
– Kill the gray mold…
– Gray mold ······
.
.
.
The kill message came to my mind for a long time, as if dozens of people died at once.
– This is an object that does not have any skills. [Kleptomaniac]’S attribute extortion rate is added by 5%.
– Attribute [Kleptomaniac] Is activated.
– Randomly steals the characteristics of the gray mold.
– Acquired the trait [Gray Mycotoxin]!
Gray Mycotoxin Lv.1
From noble mtl dot com
– When receiving damage that reduces HP by 20% or more at once, emits gray smoke that reduces movement speed by 30%.
If you kill a monster without a skill, the robbing chance is added by 5%, and the monster’s attribute is stolen with a 18% chance. Considering the number of kills, the stealing must be successful.
‘Okay. Get the second one today.’
Unfamiliar characteristics Gray mycotoxin. The conditions for activating the ability weren’t easy, perhaps because of his low level, but I felt proud of him as he seemed to be becoming the ‘one who gets tired of being touched’ as I thought he was when he was born as a skeleton.
“Kelok- Kehek-“
“Oh, really. This is dirty no matter when you drink it.”
Perhaps gray smoke had spread to the rear at some point, our party members were coughing repeatedly. But they didn’t have to be poisoned by mold while keeping their place.
Glance-
Baek Ah-rin looks at Ham Eun-young and sends an unspoken message. Perhaps she waited so long because she wanted to show Yeon-hee Ham Eun-young’s ability, whose contribution was close to 0 today.
“… Protect me… Protect me…”
Ham Eun-young, who was looking at the noticeably slower party members, stood up on a small rock with those words.
The skinny woman, dressed in a black funeral parlor with both top and bottom, cleared her throat a few times, then finally opened her mouth and began to speak.
“Refreshing Forest Into the forest＜ /i＞ Blue Wolf Running＜ I＞- Soft The wind Scream To them Embraced- Those who will never be bound＜ I＞ Like that Become friends- Chase Freedom In the forest of dreams Poor Children- Ohh ―♪”
Ah·········
When she started singing, a very clear and clean sound resonated throughout the forest, and at the same time our hearts were shaken together.
Her voice was deep and shallow, warm and cold, happy and sad.
The lyrics of her song matched with the dungeon at first glance, so I forgot the battle and focused on her song. Actually, it felt like reciting a poem rather than a song, but that gave me a different feeling.
My senses caught the wave of magical power unique to the bard system that was contained in the lyrics and quickly spread to the surroundings. I feel the bright and warm color and fragrance that is the opposite of her usual tendency. I wonder if what I feel about her now is not what she really wants to be.
“Haa-“
After the song, which lasted for about a minute, the party members, who had been stiff, regained their original state, and the group of gray molds that were pushing in from all directions in the forest, smelling the prey, were startled and flew to the other side to hide. There was.
‘This is… More than expected? It feels like something clears my head.’
It wasn’t just a level to release abnormal conditions. Awakening effect enough to help recover the exhausted mental power.
Moreover, the monsters were busy running away as if they had heard the screaming mushroom. The applied range was wide, and the time it took to activate the ability was shorter than expected.
‘I can continue to go with you.’
I nodded in satisfaction.
When everyone stopped breathing and was still soaked in the emotions that came to mind while listening to the song, Arin Baek spoke.
“Hey… It’s so good to hear it anytime… Isn’t it?”
Yeon-hee nodded her head vigorously as if she sincerely agreed.
“Yes… I want to hear more. How can your voice be so clear.”
“Ummm…”
After finishing her song, Ham Eun-yeong returned to her original dark appearance and bowed her head.
However, her entire face and neck were stained bright red. She’s behind her Baek A-rin says she always sings after she sings and she says she can’t stand that.
“You don’t intend to go inside, do you? There’s no guarantee that you’ll meet a ‘ghost’ just by going inside.”
Baek Ah-rin said that she wanted to get out of the humid place and move to the field.
‘Ghost, since wherever you go, will you be satisfied with a puppet and a gray mold today?’
“Yes! Go outside!”
We soon moved to a wide plain and fought two more small battles within an hour. And now the time has come to make a choice.
“I’m asking you again just in case. Will you?”
“Yes. I think I can do it.”
“Let’s go as soon as we’ve decided.”
We plan to take the adventure of challenging the first boss stage in the first dungeon we entered.
In the first place, we were level 40 and didn’t even pull up, so this dungeon didn’t match our level of difficulty. There is no reason to stay long, so you can just eat the most delicious part and get lost.
“Basically, Dire Wolves are said to target the weak that they can easily subdue, but in a way it is natural for them to be wary of us, who have traces of killing their own kindred several times.”
On the way to the boss battle, Yeon-hee asked ‘Are there really no monsters like this?’ This was Baek A-rin’s answer to the question asked.
Yeon-hee must have asked such a question because she was rather anxious about the subjugation that was going too smoothly, but I felt helpless because of other concerns.
• Previous Quest
– Defeat 10,000 enemies with skills with attributes. (27/10,000)
– Defeat 10,000 enemies while stealthed using daggers. (44/10,000)
– Kill 10,000 enemies in one blow with your greatsword. (0/10,000)
‘Although it’s the first day… It certainly won’t be easy.’
As someone who has just started the quest, you may feel that you have no guts to say this, but killing 10,000 enemies was too far away for what it feels like right now.
But if you go into the ‘wolf den’ you’ll get a little more speed. Because wolves roam there.
‘First of all, I’ll have to get a greatsword for the blow quest before I can try anything. The material for the greatsword will be available later…’
If Yeon-hee knew about my quest, she would have tried to match the greatsword first, but it didn’t seem like the former quest information was even conveyed to the summoner. Come to think of it, that was odd. You don’t know the information of the summons you’re commanding? Hmm…
Jeruck-
“Just another hour or so.”
Arin, who was reluctant to come in because he hated seeing wolves, rather, as it became more and more difficult to see wolves, seemed to be a bit embarrassed, so he frequently informed them of the distance to the target point. Does she think that when she gets there, everyone will understand why she fed up with the wolves?
Jeruck-
As I walked, I continued to develop the wavelength of my senses to the maximum. It was because of one memory that came to mind while training last night.
‘Maybe the location has changed a bit… Based on the time I walked, I should have come out already.’
Looking back at the memory that came to mind, the place should have already appeared and remained. I started to worry that the place had been moved to the wrong place.
How long has it been since you walked while exploring with your senses? An empty space hidden deep underground was captured by the waves.
‘The Mine…’
In addition to obtaining magic stones from monsters, there are cases where you can find naturally occurring magic stones. Usually, the so-called jackpot happens when you stumble upon a road leading to the mine.
The road was built by someone a long time ago, and it is still unknown who built it.
Of course, the Dwarf Guild, one of the three major guilds, claims that it was made by the Dwarves, but since they haven’t seen it themselves, no one agrees with that opinion.
“Tickktoktaktak!!”
“Huh?”
After walking well, they suddenly stood tall and gave a tooth signal, and the group stopped moving all at once.
(Ran, come here for a moment.)
(Ilwol, you know how to do everything else, but why can’t you just talk!)
Ran got angry when he saw me requesting an interpreter. This guy puts a word before he does it.
(Ilwol said, I found a hidden mine. Master.)
―!!
When Ran relayed my words, Yeonhee jumped up and expressed her surprise.
“Really? Awesome…!”
“Why, why? What is it?”
“Are there any wolf variants?”
“Oh, no… Just because Ilwol found the mine.”
“…… Ehh?!”
We hurriedly departed from the path we were walking on and walked to where I was leading. The party followed me with their mouths wide open, as if they had no doubts about my words.
‘I shouldn’t expect too much…’
The mines that came to mind were small in size and small in amount of magic stones piled up inside. In a way, it is natural.
Creating a road leading to a mine meant that mining had progressed, so there were usually many places to dig. Of course, even then, I would be able to earn a fairly large amount of money, but what I was aiming for was not just magic stones.
