Chapter 96. < Episode 30. Don't stop me now (3). >

If trees are made of stone, what if those trees made a forest?
If you hear such a question in reality, most people will answer that it is a question full of innocence.
And if you hear such a question in God Wars, your answer will be:
“How do you feel about it?”
You can know how damned it is when you visit the Stone Tree Forest located to the east of West Castle.
Stone Tree Forest was such a stage.
“More than anything you can imagine.”
A stage where the level of difficulty of the hunting ground is so high that it makes you curse.
“Especially the boulder twigs are fucking things.”
The cause was none other than a twig of a stone tree.
Unlike brittle tree branches, those as hard as stones were sufficiently threatening weapons, and the weapons gave more restrictions than expected.
“To deal with a small golem that can change into something in such a situation? It’s damn right.”
Even more, the small golem that appeared there was a transforming type that took shape the moment it was attacked.
Some orcs, some human, some goblins.
Small golems, which sometimes took the form of dogs or wolves, required various experiences and countermeasures from hunters.
“There is no answer but magic.”
Crucially, against small golems, the physical damage attack effect was halved.
Midas appeared there.
king!
“Master, it’s a new stage.”
Lucky and Gold Now with two mascots that make it impossible to hide even if you want to hide your identity.
“The BJ Great Mage has appeared!”
The surrounding players reacted immediately to Midas’ appearance.
And the reaction was much more intense than the reaction in the golden plains that preceded them in normal hunting grounds.
No, it wasn’t that intense.
“A BJ Great Mage has appeared near the eastern side of the Stone Tree Forest!”
“Hey, let me know soon!”
As if a beacon were lit in succession, the players scrambled to inform those around them of the existence of BJ Grand Mage.
“Shall we go hunting?”
“Can I ask for a selfie? Don’t you want to?”
“Ah, finally seeing BJ Lucky.”
The reaction of ordinary players to him was nothing special.
However, the reactions of players belonging to the so-called popular guilds or game companies were different.
“There’s nothing good about getting involved with BJ the great mage. So don’t wander around unless it’s something special.”
“Don’t make the BJ Tsushima love incident itself.”
They were reluctant to contact BJ Grand Mage.
“know? Abat went to catch them and got fucked up? Because of that, an order came from above for sure.”
In particular, in the case of guilds or game companies to which those who went to catch BJ Grand Wizard belonged, they warned at the guild level.
“Never go near BJ Archmage. If you are hunting, just give up on the monster and avoid the spot.”
“Don’t even give me room to argue.”
They ordered their players to evacuate BJ Grand Mage.
In fact, it was natural.
“Because I have nothing to say when I get into trouble.”
At that time, those who went to catch BJ Grand Mage acted as gangsters no matter what.
First of all, it means that you have committed an immoral act.
In such a situation, if the BJ Grand Mage did something disrespectful using that time as an excuse, wouldn’t there be a way to protest?
“And there is no way to stop it.”
Crucially, on this stage where you can grow up to level 100 of Tunga Kingdom, there was no one who could do anything about BJ Grand Mage.
It is an apex predator.
It is only natural to keep an eye on BJ’s great mage and keep an eye on his movements.
In front of them, BJ Grand Mage started hunting.
9.
Plain rubble.
In front of such a pile of stones, a wolf with attractive fur appeared.
K-King!
Eventually, the moment the wolf roared, the pile of stones stirred and soon took on a shape similar to an orc.
Small Golem!
thud!
The small golem that appeared like that showed off its presence by tapping the ground with its feet, a heavy stone, and immediately started charging towards the wolf with all its might.
king!
After the attack, the wolf quickly turned around and started to move while avoiding the stone tree.
A small golem chased such a wolf.
Pudeuk!
The chasing small golem’s body mercilessly broke the stone branches of the stone tree that hung everywhere. When the chase was about 30 meters like that, the wolf suddenly stopped escaping.
king!
Then, he barked loudly in his seat, and at that fact, the small golem threw himself.
The wolf quickly dodged the attack to the side.
However, the small golem’s charge did not stop.
Kung!
Eventually, the small golem’s body crashed into a stone tree and made a rough sound.
That was the moment.
Perong!
A fireball flew from a distance and wrapped itself around the small golem’s body.
That was the beginning.
Roaring!
Then, a fire spear flew, followed immediately by an ice spear.
shred!
The three attacks caused the small golem’s body to visibly stagger and sway.
“You bastard!”
And the last was the rush of the Centaur.
The centaur, now holding a hammer, struck the small golem’s body.
Kwajik!
With that, the small golem’s hard body began to crumble.
The moment the Small Golem hunt is complete.
“oh my god.”
“Crazy is that possible?”
The archer players, who had been watching the scene from a distance using their clairvoyance skills, screamed involuntarily.
That was about it.
“Isn’t Small Golem a 10-second cut?”
“No, no matter how advantageous this hunting ground is for wizards, isn’t that level of damage dealing too much?”
The hunting speed that Midas showed was different from that of normal players.
“It won’t be a hunting competition.”
“If such a BJ Grand Mage deliberately comes near us and hunts….
Players who compete for limited prey will have no choice but to starve the moment BJ Grand Mage appears.
It was a chill down the spine for those who had a bad relationship with the BJ archmage.
“Let’s not get involved and get out of here.”
“Yeah, it’ll be a headache if you get caught.”
Even those who kept a distance far enough to monitor them turned their backs to the point of avoiding their seats with chills on their spines.
Confirming the retreating observers, Midas put a fishy smile on his lips.
‘It doesn’t come within a radius of 500 meters.’
This was the picture Midas wanted to draw.
Instead of worrying about player interference, monopolize the hunting ground for yourself!
‘To hunt comfortably like this, you have to become a VVIP of the explorer’s guild. That’s only possible within the explorer line.’
It was something that could only be enjoyed by paying a large sum of money to the Explorers Guild.
It was such a wonderful yet pleasant thing.
‘If it was the way it was, I’d have gotten to level 90 here without difficulty.’
Midas intended to take at least level 90 in such a state.
It was rather wise to move after reaching a level that did not affect the progress of the main scenario quest.
But now it’s different.
‘If it’s according to the original plan.’
Midas, recalling his original plan, checked the inventory.
[Golem’s Crystal X9]
The moment he saw it, the fishy smile on Midas’ lips began to change.
‘Boss, I will definitely win the advertisement.’
With a smile deeper than ever.
10.
“I never thought I’d get it this early.”
After receiving the quest, 1 hour and 11 minutes later, the NPC Zuga showed a surprised expression in front of Midas who returned.
“It was no big deal.”
Such Midas said as if it was no big deal.
‘It really wasn’t a big deal.’
It really wasn’t a big deal.
First of all, Midas had eyes that could find monsters with quest items.
In addition, because of Midas’ fame, players don’t even dare to come around it.
In such a situation, finding only a specific monster from Midas’ point of view, whether inside or outside the explorer line, was really no big deal, as he said.
‘It was the hardest thing to give up the prey that was overflowing in front of me and put up with looking for it.’
If I had to point out a difficult point, it was that I couldn’t catch other monsters because I was wandering around looking for a small golem with a quest item.
“Thanks to you, I don’t have to spend a lot of money.”
After receiving the golem’s decision from Midas, NPC Zuga struck the hammer attached to his waist along with the horse.
[The quest has been completed.]
[The quest has been completed within the time limit. You will receive an additional reward.]
[You have achieved the title that surprised Zuga.]
At the same time, a notification was heard, and in the middle of the notification, the NPC Zuga picked up the hammer that was revealed a moment ago and handed it to Midas.
“Thanks to you, I have no use for what I brought to use anyway, so you should write it.”
A sudden gift, but Midas was not greatly surprised.
“Oh, thank you.”
A situation in which the existence of additional compensation is recognized in the first place.
‘It seems to be a suitable weapon item.’
Above all, the expectations themselves were not high.
Even from the outside, it didn’t look like a powerful weapon, so Midas thought it was just an appropriate weapon item
.
Moreover, most of the items obtained during the main scenario quests were non-tradable items.
That said, there is a high probability that it will not make any money.
[You have acquired Zuga’s hammer.]
With that thought in mind, Midas received Zuga’s hammer, and only then did Zuga’s hammer option come into view.
[Zuga’s Hammer]
– Grade: Legendary
– Available Level: 99 or lower
– Zuga’s Hammer. Instead of destroying an item bound to you, you can extract the mysterious ability of that item. Items endowed with extracted abilities are bound.
– Cannot be used for items over level 99
– Only items of the same type can be extracted and granted
– Number of uses (1/1)
– Cannot be traded
‘Huh?’
At that moment, Midas doubted his eyes.
‘what?’
And then I checked again.
‘extraction?’
Extraction of Ability The moment he confirmed it, countless God Wars systems came to mind in Midas’ mind.
‘Is there anything like this in this game?’
However, the system of option extraction did not exist anywhere.
Of course, Midas looked at the NPCs with surprised eyes.
“Okay, with this, I can make a Blue Stone Golem Summoning Stone.”
However, the NPCs, who had no way of knowing Midas’ intentions, continued the quest.
“If you summon and catch a Blue Stone Golem, you should be able to get a Melting Stone from it. Using it, it will be possible to merge the two powers in your amulet into one.”
Midas waved his hand at the explanation that followed.
“Wait a minute.”
[New quests have been updated in the main scenario quests.]
However, regardless of Midas, the game progressed quickly.
“Wait one day. I will make it as soon as possible.”
With those words, NPC Zuga turned his back on Midas and passed through the stone tree forest faster than anyone else.
At the same time, a quest window appeared in front of Midas’ eyes.
[Blue Stone Golem]
– Quest Level: Main scenario
– Quest Level: 99 or lower
– Quest Content: Defeat the Blue Stone Golem using the Blue Stone Golem Summoning Stone received from the NPCs and obtain the Melting Stone.
– Quest Reward: A necklace with a curse
! Blue Stone Golem disappears 1 hour after being summoned
! If the quest fails, try again
! After completing the quest, you can proceed with ‘Centaur Knight’.
After checking the contents of the quest, Midas closed his eyes.
‘Let’s clean things up.’
In that state, the current situation was solved sequentially.
‘extraction.’
Of course, the first thing I wanted to solve was Zuga’s hammer.
Actually, there was nothing difficult about the content itself.
The setting of extracting item options and giving them to other items is a system that has appeared in countless games.
It’s just that in God Wars, this system itself has never been revealed before.
‘It can only be applied to bound items and there is a level limit… … It must be for items dedicated to the main scenario.’
However, considering the rewards of the main scenario quest, there was nothing strange about this system.
No, to be precise, Midas did not have to worry about the background of the existence of such a system.
‘How do I use it?’
The important thing is, how can you use a better opportunity than this thousand gold to be praised for doing it well? part to do.
In fact, this part also had an answer.
‘For now, the extraction target is Wiga’s white staff.’
Among the items that Midas currently owns, the most suitable option extraction was Wiga’s white staff, which enabled triple casting.
‘The option given item… … ‘
Then, to which item should the extracted option be given?
There was also some answer to that question.
‘There is only Legendary. That item is unconditionally close to level 99.’
As for the rating, the minimum legendary level limit is also at least level 90.
Because there was virtually only one magician-only item that met those criteria.
After clearing his mind like that, Midas put a smile on his lips.
“Wow, I knew this game was a God game, but I didn’t know it would be a God game to this extent.”
A smile of joy at being the first beneficiary of this amazing system. With that smile on, Midas turned to look at Lucky and Gold.
You guys think so…
Only then did Midas see.
king!
“yes!
A question mark floated above their heads for the first time in a while.
