185 – Fetch – 3
“Ouch!”
After floating in the air for a while, Fetch’s body landed on the wall of the ruins. I screamed reflexively, but it didn’t hurt at all.
Fetch managed to pick up his trembling body and barely raised his head. A blue-haired woman, holding daggers that glowed blue in both hands, was walking in the backlight.
‘Can’t win. I can never win.’
I felt it a long time ago. He said that he would never be able to defeat that woman no matter what.
To cheat, you need to know your subject. If you go beyond the subject, your tail will surely be stepped on. It was one of Fetch’s iron rules.
However, now it is not at the level of having its tail stepped on, but at the level of having its entire lower body ripped off. You touched the wrong person properly. It was not a situation that could be avoided in any way.
‘… … I should have noticed earlier.’
The feeling of regret was overwhelming. When the black-haired man called his real name, he should have run away without looking back.
But it was already too late. I’ll come and get the man out, so I didn’t have the courage to make a deal to save him.
If you’re still alive, you can pull the lever and take it out, but what if you’re dead? I didn’t even want to imagine how that woman would react to seeing the dead body of the man she even called ‘my man’.
“Okay, take it.”
The woman threw something. Something slightly round came rolling around. It was a potion bottle filled with red liquid, and it was also the potion the black-haired man had bought from Fetch.
Seeing that, Fetch’s face turned pale.
‘Baby, full… … .’
It wasn’t anything else, it was because I was full.
In the first place, that woman is really ignorant of power control. I was beaten so much that I didn’t even get a bruise, let alone break anything. Even so, he was constantly throwing potions.
When there is a wound, the potion is absorbed right away. So no matter how much I eat, I am not full, but if there are no wounds on my body, it is just the same as drinking water.
The only scars on his body were a few scratches, but he drank potions all the time, and in a different sense, he was on the verge of dying. This is already the 7th bottle.
“Oops, oops. gulp… … .”
“Yes, yes. Eat well. The sooner you drink, the sooner you will get better.”
Of course, that was a secondary issue. Fetch swallowed the potion diligently, enduring gagging. I ignored the feeling of a stomach full of liquid.
If you don’t drink and endure like this, you don’t know what that woman will do. The difference in skill and power was so overwhelming that I couldn’t even dream of the option of rebelling.
“great job. Now, stand up. Has your body fully recovered?”
“… … .”
The blue-haired woman smiled admirably and flicked the tip of her dagger. The voice urged me to stand up, but I did not want to stand up. If you do, you have to eat the potion again.
Fetch, lying flat on the floor, lifted his head slightly and looked at the woman. Seeing this, the woman tilted her head.
“yes? What are you doing? You want to kill me?”
I can’t even remember how many times I’ve heard that word now. Every time Fetch hesitated to attack, the woman was repeating the words, Didn’t you try to kill yourself?
“If you don’t come, will I go?”
The woman took the first step. The sound of footsteps resounded.
Fetch’s body trembled. I didn’t want to fight like this even if I died. A fight that was obvious to lose, a fight where it was obvious that this side would unilaterally drink the potion.
So, Fetch decided to do what he does best next to fraud.
“sorry!”
It was to ask for forgiveness.
“yes?”
It must have been a very unexpected action, but the woman stopped.
“I’m really sorry for jumping in without understanding the subject! please forgive me!”
Fetch wanted it to be this moment, so he knelt on the floor, curled up tight, pressed his forehead to the floor, brought his arms together and tucked them close to his head, bowing his head as hard as he could.
Usually, after catching the opponent off guard like this, they would attack or attack. But now I didn’t even think about it. The gap between the two was too great for such useless thoughts.
And the boat was called too.
“what’s the matter? Anyone who sees it will know that I am trying to kill you.”
“I think I’m going to die of hunger,” came to the top of my throat. Fetch swallowed his words. Even if I say such a thing here, it’s a scratch. He wasn’t that stupid.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry. Because I will never kill you.”
“… … .”
“That’s what Delta asked for. Don’t treat her too harshly, and take care of her life.”
‘Isn’t that a request to kill him by bursting his stomach with a potion?’
With that thought in mind, Fetch managed to stop the retching that continued to rise because of his posture.
“Well, don’t worry too much. Being trapped inside was all intentional actions of Delta.”
Is this an intentional action? He raised his head involuntarily at that absurd remark.
I wanted to say sorry after our eyes met, but the woman’s face was calm. It didn’t look like he was lying.
“And, it would be more fortunate for you to be locked up intentionally, right?”
The tip of the dagger pointed towards Fetch. I reflexively hit my head again. A woman’s voice was heard above Petch’s head.
“If you really cheated on my man like that, there are a lot of people besides me who would come to cheat on you. You may have to wait in line.”
Fetch’s body trembled at the voice that seemed to know what kind of expression it was even though he couldn’t see his face.
‘Well, there’s nothing different.’
He nodded while looking at the secret passage behind the largest treasure chest that was revealed when he wielded the wingless nightmare.
In the game, it’s just an illusion wall that disappears like a hologram, so I wondered what would happen here, but maybe it’s an illusion wall, so it was the same as the game.
‘I’ll have Rize catch them when they get out of here. No, would Nyx be better in a one-on-one battle?’
I glanced at the treasure chests I left behind. The boxes, six in a row, lined up on the left and right, and the boxes much larger than the others, were not even touched.
Of course, all 13 of them are mimics.
The behavior patterns of users trapped here after being tricked by Fetch and paying a million gold were usually like this.
First, open the largest treasure chest or treasure chest without bloodstains, and then get chewed to death by the Mimic.
After reviving and coming back, he thought he was unlucky, so he chose another box and opened it, but he was chewed to death by Mimic again.
After reviving and coming back, the heat gradually spreads out, and before touching the box, I try to hit it once.
Then, as if all 13 mimics had been waiting for it to wake up, at the same time, the iron bars go down and they are trapped here and killed by the mimics.
It is only after going through this series of processes that you realize that all the treasure chests here are mimics. It couldn’t have been a really viciously designed trap.
‘I have to avoid Dagul unconditionally.’
It’s just a mimic, the visuals are a bit bizarre, but it’s easy to beat them. However, when that number increased to 13, the story changed a lot.
I don’t know if it’s an open field, but fighting 1 vs 13 with mimics in a space so narrow that you can reach from end to end of the room with just a few rolls was something I couldn’t eat.
I walked down the secret passageway without even paying attention to the mimic.
The length of the aisle was very short. After walking a few steps, a square room appeared. It was a room that was about twice my height in length and width.
In the middle was a treasure chest that looked a little different from the outside ones. I passed this box without even looking at it.
That’s a mimic too.
I swung the wingless nightmare against the wall on the other side of the aisle. Then the fantasy wall disappeared and another secret room appeared behind it. After all, it was a square room that was about twice my height.
And it was also the same that there was a gorgeous treasure chest in the middle. This box also passed the same way.
That too is a mimic.
Again, I swung my sword against the wall on the other side of the aisle. Again, a hidden secret room appeared beyond the fantasy wall, and again, I saw a splendid treasure chest placed in the middle.
That box is also a mimic.
‘Crazy producers.’
A mimic in a fantasy wall, a mimic in an illusion wall, a mimic in an illusion wall. It’s a structure that really freaks people out. There were as many as 16 mimics in this narrow space.
Even among these 16 mimics, if even one of them wakes up, the rest wake up as well, so it was almost impossible to wake up and beat them one at a time.
Whoever can see it is the intention to feed taffy to users by putting fetch as a dishonor. Otherwise, the reason for creating such a vicious structure could not be explained.
‘And there are still two left.’
I passed the last mimic and this time stood in front of the wall to the right instead of directly opposite the entrance. And hit the wall exactly five times.
I hit the wall in case there is another fantasy wall, but it can be said that it is a design that laughs at users who just hit it once or twice until the end.
Not one or two users found out about this later and grabbed their backs. This is because the document that gives hints to the fantasy wall in the ruins can only be obtained in the field at the end of the game.
ㅡKoo-gu-gu-gung!
After hitting the wall five times, this time the wall itself lifted up, revealing another secret passage.
In the middle of the aisle, there was a treasure chest that looked just like the one in the first room. It was the only genuine treasure chest in the ruins, and it was also the final trap prepared by the manufacturer.
This, no matter what weapon you hit it with, it will break even if it hits one. Even if you hit it with a broken straight sword whose marked damage was a single digit, it would be shattered.
‘No, how can I not check here?’
As a player who had passed through 16 consecutive mimics, it was natural to start wondering if it was a mimic as soon as he saw the box.
So, what if I check to see if it’s a mimic and slash it? The whole box is smashed, making the player dumbfounded.
I wondered if the level design of this million-gold quest would account for 30% of the hatred towards Fetch.
‘Dirty bastards.’
I opened the box, cursing at the manufacturer in my heart. Inside was a bottle richly decorated with gold and pure silver.
A consumable that heals all status ailments when drunk, grants immunity to status ailments for a set period of time, replenishes HP, mana and faith, and also greatly increases stamina recharge speed for a set period of time.
It was ‘The Grace of the Sun’.
There is also ‘Grace of the Moon’ as a sister product. The effect is exactly the same as the grace of the sun. It was also a consumable item that could only be obtained once per play, perhaps because the effect was horrendous at first glance.
I don’t know why the items related to the sun and moon are in these ruins and not in the Holy Land.
‘I have to write this.’
I put the grace of the sun into the inside pocket of my uniform. The other options don’t really make much sense right now, and there’s just one boss fight where abnormal status immunity would be very useful.
I moved my steps into the aisle. If it was a game, there would be a way to just kill yourself and resurrect from the statue, but now that doesn’t work, so I had to clear the dungeon and go outside.
Actually, I could ask Rize to open the iron bars, but I was thinking of catching the dungeon boss who had come this far. Once you catch him, there’s nothing wrong with him.
What’s more, there is a route where you can skip the entire process here, so it didn’t take long. It is an unmodified route even in Dyalar mode.
The reason is that it is a catch technique that only ancient people can do. Hearing that you can skip the whole process, if you recklessly spend a dollar, you will only see Yu Da-hee dozens of times.
‘It will take about 30 minutes.’
Maybe even shorter than that.
