Episode 177
50. Heir to the Throne (1)
Until I first got the Demon King’s Pendant, I thought things were going to get messed up, so I got a headache and almost died.
Surprisingly, my plan was going smoothly.
‘Establishing a Scarecrow King’.
The plan was to capture the succubus queen Amodea and put Nabe, my clan, in her place.
Then, unofficially, I will become the manager of that dungeon.
He would have been able to check the situation of the liberation front in real time by controlling the monstrous family in earnest.
To control a variable, I have to become a huge variable myself.
This is the first step in that activity.
At first, it was for the purpose of absorbing the fresh vitality of the family and growing Nabe.
In a situation where he was working with a dreamer, there was nothing that could not prevent him from taking the place of the Incubus King.
In particular, as the grades increased, it was clear that it would have an absolute influence only on the demon-type demons that bothered them in many ways.
To go to demons who don’t even know my subject.
do you know who i am I’m not!! King Neg and dude! Have dinner together with yesterday! I used to beat even the queen! Don’t do it!
And I don’t know if I’ll be able to abuse it to my heart’s content.
What if I block the monsters’ attacks in that way?
“At least we can prevent the school from being swept away in third grade.”
Currently, the virtue that I value the most is ‘stability’.
Originally, he had a playstyle that was far from stability enough to even challenge speedruns.
Since the world in the game has become my reality, I had no choice but to deal with it carefully.
It was better to exclude variables and risk factors in a timely manner.
“So I made this decision.”
When I gave an explanation, there were only two reactions from the Illuminati members.
“It’s great too! A succubus queen is worth fighting for!! It’s really a ‘Baeksanwoo Khan’ plan.”
A type who actively appeals for wariness by saying that he is looking forward to it.
“Are you crazy?”
“Sanwoo-ya, this seems to have gone too far when I look at it… … .”
“If it succeeds, it will be written in history books.”
There were skeptics who feared failure even though they had not yet tried.
Of course, there was only one person, Byron.
“why not? You guys have a good chance of winning!”
“… … I’ve never met a succubus, let alone a succubus queen.”
“So do I.”
“You know that I’m not a formidable opponent, right?”
“It is.”
I nodded at George’s words.
The succubus queen Amodea I aimed for is the final boss of the epic quest called ‘A Nightmare Is Coming’.
It was a ‘magic-type monster’ that used powerful magic and magic.
Of course, the fact that it is an epic monster that can be beaten around the 3rd year also proves its strength.
Absolutely impossible to clear with the Orthodox Method.
Because that’s how I judge it.
“But when did you see me fight for no reason?”
I began to seriously explain the purpose of subjugating the succubus queen Amodea to the members of the Illuminati.
“Once the succubus queen Amodea made her nest, the ‘Garden of Dreams’ is a place that has never been attacked before.”
“Of course. I also thought that there was such a place. You don’t even know where it is in the first place, do you?”
“If they had known that such a place existed on Paradise Island, wouldn’t the professors run to them right away?”
That too was true.
What kind of educator would leave the succubus queen running around the school?
The dream garden is about a year and a half from now.
It is revealed only before the first raid of the Liberation Front takes place.
Professors and students alike suffer from nightmares, and the number of people unable to sleep at night is increasing.
In the middle of the night, more and more people are being attacked by succubus and incubus and being kidnapped.
His identity will be revealed as he trembles in many ways.
But that’s the future.
It’s stupid to do it even though you know you’re going to get hurt.
“Then we have to step up. Are you going to just watch the massive attack by the dreamers?”
“that… … .”
The people gathered here already know that I am predicting the future.
As long as I’ve shared the information as a player, what I’m saying is no different from a revelation from God.
A revelation from God that must come in any form.
“Also, attacking the Dream Garden is a good opportunity to improve ourselves.”
“Are you talking in terms of skills?”
“There is, but… … It’s much more realistic and coveted than that.”
I pulled out the blackboard and started drawing on the empty space.
The shoulders are completely hollowed out, and the black string from the choker on the neck forms a diamond shape like a harness.
A design that clearly emphasizes the place to be emphasized.
“… … ?”
“you… … ! What are you drawing!?”
“This is an item called a succubus uniform.”
Succubus Queen Amodea is a boss with outstanding strength among Epic monsters.
In other words, it meant dropping all kinds of good items.
The succubus uniform was one of the best items among them.
This costume could only be worn by a companion.
In addition to the beautiful and alluring design, the exposure was also considerable, so it was a costume that many male players wore and got.
That’s not to say the performance is bad either.
As a costume that thoroughly kept the historical evidence that exposure, one of the eternal laws of fantasy, is inversely proportional to defense.
Defense and magic resistance are the final stats, plus.
It was a Gaesagi-level performance that boosted magical attack power by a whopping 5 times.
The moment the Wizard Companion wore this equipment, the amount of damage increased similarly to the main character who rode the Ortana route.
“You don’t want to see me?”
As I smile, George and Tae-Hoon hurriedly avoid their gaze.
“Hey, Kim Tae-Hoon!!”
“Hey, you guys… … ! Are you crazy?”
“Hmm… … From the structure alone, it doesn’t look like it’s suitable for defense at all, is it given any special magic? It’s a pretty intriguing outfit.”
“I will never wear it.”
A female group who is greatly agitated, and a male group who works hard to act calmly.
Byron seemed to want to see it in a different way, though.
“Anyway, this was purely a joke, and there is a separate main dish for the Succubus Queen Dungeon.”
In fact, no matter how good the specifications of the costumes are, they cannot be the main rewards of the Epic Dungeon.
It is not enough just to have players hang their heads in a garden in their dreams.
“What we should focus on is this Queen’s vassals set.”
A unique-grade equipment set that is stored in the arsenal of the Succubus Queen.
‘The Queen’s vassal’.
Garden of Dreams is a setting in which the succubus occupied and built the fortress that the queen of the kingdom that ruled the island of Paradise in the past had directly organized and managed the knights.
A fortress that is much larger and in perfect condition than Doris Fortress, the remains of the Great War era dungeon.
That’s why there was a lot of valuable equipment left in the arsenal.
Staff, sword, spear, bow, crossbow, axe.
These are weapons that will rise to a level similar to that of legendary legendary equipment if you strengthen them well without doing anything.
“George, what’s the weapon class you’re using?”
“… … It’s rare.”
“You, Camilla?”
“Let’s go home. I’ve never done a proper appraisal, but it must be at least unique.”
“Okay then, he has more than one unique piece of gear here.”
Of course there couldn’t be.
Unless it’s Ishtar, the princess of one country, or Aidan, who collected rewards while performing various main scenarios and epic quests.
For ordinary students, unique equipment was not something that could be easily acquired.
Equipment above the unique level is a kind of luxury.
It’s not just a piece of equipment to decorate, it’s a real ‘luxury’ that even raises one’s abilities.
“Your skills are of course important, but your equipment is also important. you all know The spear I throw at.”
“I said Aradwa… … .”
It is a legendary weapon that is not unique.
Just throwing a javelin is just amazing.
In the case of ‘Keter Synchro,’ which is used in combination with Keter, it also showed insane destructive power that even removed the half-body of the crystal golem.
What if this wasn’t a legendary item, but an epic or rare item?
Could such an attack be expected?
It was absolutely not.
“But the equipment is limited. It means that there is a limit to the supply and demand of equipment that can be obtained by wandering around Paradise Island or hunting bosses.”
I looked at George.
“One day I give it to one person, and another day I hand it over to another person. So when can we get the equipment right?”
And there is no guarantee that you will get the right equipment from the very beginning.
Let’s say that the boss monster George caught drops a legendary item.
But if it’s a wizard-only item, it’s legendary, unique, and only Gyereuk.
It is a waste to sell, and an item with low efficiency to use.
no one wants that
“We need the Queen’s arsenal here. It’s an ‘instant dungeon’ made with the power of the succubus queen Amodea.”
Dungeon Nogada in Paradise Academia is not as many as you think.
Even then, it is necessary to acquire special materials for proficiency such as alchemy or blacksmithing.
Or, because I couldn’t become a scholarship student, I only went around the dungeon nogada when I had to pay tuition every semester.
Like other ‘dungeon current’ games, it’s rare to have to run the same dungeon dozens of times to get equipment.
The Queen’s arsenal is different.
There was no limit to the number of times you could enter this place.
Because every time you enter, you drop the equipment, not the equipment you got once.
It was a useful place for mid-late players to strengthen their companions who lacked growth.
Since the dungeon opens in the middle and late part, it’s the middle and late part, and if it was opened from the early part, it was a Hyeja dungeon that crazy people attacked from the first semester of the first year.
“Now, are you feeling a little hungry?”
“… … .”
Looking around the hut, everyone had a similar expression.
“Isn’t this a business that never loses money? Besides, I have the confidence to win.”
“When Sanwoo-sama always planned something, he always brought a winning strategy.”
Soyoung, leaning against the wall next to her, answered.
“Last time, Doris Fortress was not a dungeon that we could attack alone.”
Doris Fortress, which was an upper-intermediate dungeon.
It was a dungeon that would not have been cleared had I not known in advance the structure of the fortress and the behavior of the main monsters, Mwape.
“So I believe. I think I will be able to subdue the Succubus Queen too.”
“Soyoung-ah… … .”
A declaration of support like thousands and thousands of horses.
“After all, he’s the Illuminati’s chief staff member. I did it very well.”
“thank you.”
“Then what is the plan? tell me something I don’t doubt you, but tell me your plan so I can prepare for it to some extent.”
I lifted my finger at George’s words. A valid argument.
No matter how much we rode on the same ship, and even if I was the captain of the ship, it would be of no use to me if I didn’t get along with the crew.
In particular, I was constantly thinking about this part.
I was open to most of the information about myself.
However, like what happened in the Toryong Cave last time, my identity about my essence was kept as little as possible.
That I am a fragment of chaos.
The fact that the demon king sealed underground is not enough to personally come in contact with him, he also shares his powers.
In addition to that, the fact that there is an ‘Incubus’ that belongs to me.
If you disclose this wrongly, it will go downhill in an instant.
However, the biggest problem was that the existence of Nabe was indispensable before attacking this succubus queen.
Somehow, he has no choice but to reveal his identity.
‘Is that day now?’
I thought it would definitely come someday, so I prepared in advance… … .
Still, it was unavoidable to be nervous.
“I have one thing to confess to you all.”
“What else were you hiding?”
“Damn… … . Baek San-woo, was a man like you like an onion that came out even peeled off?”
“It was just to hide. Will everyone understand?”
After I took a deep breath.
I opened the gate and summoned Nabe.
The members’ eyes were surprised by the phenomenon of heterogeneous space opening.
“Greetings.”
The Incubus, who came out of the gate, fell down on the spot and shouted.
“hello! row, nimdeul? … … Whoa!!? Baek San-woo’s Servant Incubus Nabega Inn, In… … buy! come… … !! I’ll put you-!”
