Chapter 100. < Episode 32. Power reinforcement (1). >
1.
‘The next enemy is the Centaur Knight.’
The first thing that came to Midas’ mind before Lucky’s evolution was the Centaur Knight.
‘I don’t know what he looks like.’
Of course, he didn’t know anything about the Centaur Knight.
The boss monster that appears in the Golden Plains is a Black Centaur, and there has never been a Centaur Knight.
‘It must be armed with armor in the form of a centaur. It’s most likely that he’s wearing armor in the form of a black centaur.’
However, it was not difficult to infer the characteristics of the monster.
In addition, this analogy was quite an important task.
‘To deal with a guy like that, Lucky needs better mobility than he has now. A life and death decision is not a skill with a low risk.’
The downside of Lucky’s firefighting skill was that if Lucky had less mobility than the target, the risk he would have to take was infinitely greater.
‘The characteristic of the Black Centaur is its mobility that is 200% faster than that of a Centaur. If Lucky activates Lightning Petrification and is under the Haste effect, he can get away with it, but he gets caught after Lightning Petrification ends.
It means that it can be a very deadly poison against monsters whose mobility is a weapon.
‘Once you draw aggro, you can never release it until you die.’
Furthermore, the firefighting skill was not a skill that could stop the effect of the skill in the middle.
It’s literally a skill that ends when one of them dies.
‘Even if a legendary skill comes out, if it doesn’t help with mobility, you have to give up. Because Lucky doesn’t have options like buying skill cards. It’s not something that can be covered with items like gold.’
Unlike players, it was impossible to acquire skills by purchasing skill cards, so the calculations had to be made.
king!
Whether or not he knew the owner’s heart, Lucky barked brightly.
Whoa!
Lucky’s crying turned into howling at some point.
[The power of the divine throne boils up in Lucky’s body.]
[Lucky’s body changes.]
Along with that howl, Lucky’s body began to swell.
Now, even compared to the clear beast tiger, it is hard to find a lack of trustworthy appearance.
Whoa!
Even the howl he exclaimed now began to carry a special weight.
[Choose Lucky’s new ability yourself.]
And soon, with that notification, 100 cards appeared in front of Midas’ eyes.
Of course, Midas had already made up his mind.
‘I have to choose what I need, not the grade.’
Among the 100 cards, I would choose one that would definitely help in battle, not the highest level skill card.
I will not be bound by the rank of rare unique legendary.
‘…. I’m really lucky.’
But even Midas couldn’t help but laugh in front of the 13 red lights that he could see right away.
‘omg!’
Among them, one of the golden cards was the first to catch his eye.
Midas’ eyes confirmed the golden card.
‘huh?’
At that moment, Midas closed his eyes and opened them again to check the contents of the skill card.
[Infernal Diamond]
– Skill Grade: Legendary
– Skill Effect: When the skill is activated, the physical defense of Shinsoo is greatly increased. When a skill is activated, no skill can be used.
gold bullion.
As soon as he confirmed the skill that didn’t need any further explanation, Midas looked at Lucky and said,
“I misspelled your name.”
king?
Midas said to Lucky, who questioned him.
“You should have named it Cheat Key, not Lucky.”
With his words, Midas put the card in his hand without checking the other cards.
‘This is the end.’
The initial concern was the risk that Lucky might get a game over.
However, with the Geumgang Bulde skill, such worries were useless.
‘It’s the appearance of the final boss of the tank.’
Of course, Midas’ touch also did not hesitate.
[Lucky has acquired the Diamond Steel skill.]
Midas turned his head and looked at Gold at the notification that followed.
[Choose the Guardian’s new ability yourself.]
Then, as if waiting, 20 cards appeared in front of Midas with a notification.
‘Just come out with something suitable.’
Of course, at this moment, Midas’ mind didn’t have much trouble.
‘I’m sure Lucky-sama will do everything anyway.’
A situation where there is no need to even worry about tanking for the time being beyond the level where the worries have been resolved.
There was no need to expect anything more from Gold in that situation.
Naturally relaxed, Midas checked the card.
‘huh?’
Midas’ expression hardened.
‘My God, what’s wrong with this game?’
A golden glow flickered in front of Midas’ eyes.
2.
There are many indicators of popularity in God Wars.
Number of Viewers Number of Subscribers Number of Ads Income…. and the number of clinging leeches.
The leech here refers to those who steal content created by someone and broadcast or broadcast fishing videos.
In that sense, BJ Grand Mage’s Blue Stone Golem raid broadcast could be said to be popular.
[Hacker who hacked BJ Grand Mage Alpha Company?]
[Exclusive! Blue Stone Golem drop item revealed (expected)!]
[Exclusive! Centaur Night Revealed (Expected)!]
After BJ Grand Mage’s live ended, Wars Tube was overflowing with leeches who arbitrarily used the issues he created to make money.
Of course, the public reaction was also hot.
– BJ Grand Mage is amazing.
– yes. Looking at it this time, I wasn’t just a jerk with a golden spoon, right?
– He’s a skilled player who has played this game quite a bit.
– More than anything, this warms up, right?
In particular, the fact that the live title was warming up made many people hotter.
– If this is a warm-up, you must have a lot of people to catch next, right?
A title that no matter who sees it, there is no choice but to look forward to the next one.
Even more so, BJ Grand Mage had clearly specified the next target, not a flimsy notice.
– I can’t wait to see how strong the Centaur Knight will be.
– Rumor has it that you are catching a really ridiculous boss monster? They say they can barely hold a party of 10!
– You can barely catch a party of 10 by yourself, right? It’s amazing.
It’s not just a boss monster, it’s the first boss monster.
– Oh, I miss you.
– I really want to lower my level and go to West Castle.
– Stop leveling up and wait for BJ Grand Mage to come to my hunting ground!
There are even people who envy the players who share the same hunting ground as the BJ great mage.
In other words, it was a golden opportunity for the players in West Castle.
“You must take a selfie with BJ Daemado Love.”
“If I can’t shoot this time, I won’t have a chance in the future.”
“Even if you level up and make them vomit, that’s it, so why don’t you just follow BJ the great mage?”
BJ Daemage is a chance to leave memories of witnessing the hot potato directly in the game.
“The BJ Great Mage has appeared!
In such a situation, the appearance of BJ Grand Mage was like throwing a burning match on an oil pan.
Players started to move around to see BJ Grand Mage.
A sight hard to believe.
However, it wasn’t BJ Grand Mage that caught their attention.
“Look at that!”
“uh? Lucky got bigger!”
“oh my god!”
Lucky, who now has a size enough to reveal the majesty of a beast, drew the attention of everyone in the audience.
Everyone who saw it thought.
“Yes, BJ Lucky is the main character.”
“Nothing. BJ Grand Mage is just a free gift from BJ Lucky.”
“Isn’t the free gift gold and the BJ great mage like wrapping paper?”
Lucky is cooler than BJ Grand Mage!
As if to reciprocate the gaze of the crowd, Lucky took a majestic step with his head held high.
Naturally, the eyes of the crowd focused more on Lucky.
‘ah.’
Only one Midas gaze was not at Lucky, but at Gold, who was walking behind Lucky.
‘I never thought it would come out there.’
Above Midas’ head, the scene from a while ago appeared.
‘Berserk skill.’
Berserk.
A skill that temporarily strengthens all stats. For melee dealers, it was a dream skill.
A skill that allows you to be treated in party hunting and receive more money in raids just by the fact that you have that skill.
‘If the conditions are met, Gold might rather demonstrate stronger fighting power than Lucky… … ’
The power reinforcement that came with the appearance of such a Berserk skill was difficult even for Midas to easily calculate.
‘scary.’
That fact made Midas even afraid.
‘My combat power that has become too strong is frightening.’
Of course, it was fear that made me smile.
A group of people began to approach Midas, who smiled deeply without even realizing it.
“Get out of the way!”
It was the appearance of an NPC.
3.
“You take the lead.”
Midas is escorted by NPCs, who are now taken for granted, and moves to his destination.
‘huh?’
The place Midas was guided to was not the eastern watchtower he had been to before.
‘Isn’t this a forge?’
We arrived at the blacksmith’s shop located south of the castle.
It was also a place that Midas knew well.
No, it was a place that everyone who played at West Castle had no choice but to know.
‘Golden forge!’
Because it was a place where you could get the Tunga series, a legendary item that can be obtained from Tunga Kingdom.
“Welcome!”
At the blacksmith’s shop, the NPC Zuga welcomed Midas.
“Did you get it?”
“ah.
Midas came to his senses at the ensuing question and took out a quest item from his inventory.
[I handed the Melting Stone to NPC Zuga.]
After that, I also took off the cursed necklace.
“Here it is.”
NPC Zuga, who received the two items, nodded.
“Because I’ll make you wait for a moment. It won’t take long. Even if I’m bored, I’ll be patient.”
After a friendly explanation, the NPC Zuga turned his back and moved toward a place where the blacksmith’s furnace was located.
However, Midas’ gaze could only be directed at the weapons hanging on the wall of the smithy like artwork, not those NPCs.
‘The sword of the knight of the kingdom of Tunga…….’
All the weapons at stake were legendary items from the Tunga series.
‘Basic $60,000. Depending on the special options attached, it’s well over $100,000.’
Minimum price is $60,000.
‘and.’
Such weapons were filling the walls from time to time.
‘If I sell everything here, I’ll be able to rent a 21-pyeong apartment in Gangnam, Seoul, right?’
They were really home prices.
“omg!
Midas’ gaze soon had to stop at the staff hanging alone on the wall.
A 1-meter-long white staff that looks like it was carved from a living snake.
[Tunga’s Staff]
– Grade: Legendary
– Wearable level: 89 or higher
– A staff made by the technicians of the Tunga Kingdom infused with special power. It contains powerful dignity.
– Options open when equipped
Tunga’s Staff!
‘120,000 dollars!’
The item Midas was currently aiming for was revealing his presence.
Even within reach of your hand.
At that moment, anguish began in Midas’ heart.
‘If I eat this and splash, won’t it be mine?’
Can you really pick up that item and bounce?
If it bounces, what kind of penalty is there?
At that point, Midas secretly looked at the ring on the finger of his right hand.
‘I have Zagara’s ring, but I think this would be extenuating even if I ate and jumped out? Are you the owner of this place in the first place? I think it’ll be like borrowing it?’
The moment when all kinds of delusions fill your head.
That was the moment.
“It’s over.”
NPC Zuga approached Midas with a necklace and a black mass in both hands.
Seeing that, Midas tilted her head.
Why not put a black mass in the pendant?
Seeing that suspicious expression, NPC Zuga said.
“You know the nature of soul metal, right?”
“React toward the owner of magical power?”
“I know you well. Of course, the stronger the magical power, the stronger the response.”
“then….
“The moment you put it here, this necklace might fly off into the sky on its own.”
With those words, NPC Zuga handed Midas a necklace line, and Midas grabbed it tightly in his hand.
After that, NPC Zuga placed the hand holding the black mass on top of Midas’ necklace pendant.
Kwak!
Then, as he grabbed the black mass as if squeezing fruit, black water began to drip onto the pendant.
Pop!
Pop!
As the amount increased, the movement of the necklace began to intensify.
Eventually, the moment all the water was squeezed out, the necklace moved like a darting arrow toward the west of West Castle.
Charleuk!
If I hadn’t held on to the string of the necklace, I would have really thought that I would have run to the sky just like the NPCs said.
“This guy is very strong.”
At that fact, Midas, who grabbed the pendant, laughed.
‘Looking for anything won’t be a job.’
Now that I have a lively compass, the only thing left is to hunt for the thing at the end of that compass.
‘Let’s check the options… … ‘
Midas’ eyes naturally confirmed the stronger necklace options.
At the same time, everything in Midas stopped.
[Necklace with a curse]
– Grade: Legendary
– Wearable level: level 80 or higher
– A necklace that contains the power of a cursed being. Powerful magical power bestows mysterious powers on the wearer.
– All stats +75
– Attack power +15
– Movement speed +15%
– Attack speed +15%
– Casting speed +15%
– Health and magic recovery speed +40%
– Enables replay skills when equipped
– Binds when learned (untradable) )
Even after checking all the options, Midas was staring at the necklace that was about to jump out of his grasp with an expression of disbelief.
A maddened look.
‘ah.’
Eventually, Midas barely regained consciousness, and his eyes focused on a single replay skill.
‘Replay? really?’
replay.
It was a skill that allowed one of the used skills to be used immediately once again.
To put it simply, it allows you to use the skill once more while ignoring the cooldown.
‘This can only be obtained as an item option?’
In addition, it was a skill card that had never appeared in the world until now.
Even Azmo professed that replay skills can only be used through items, and that he would give a blank check if he found a skill card and brought it to himself.
In any case, the utility value was great.
‘My God, is this a dream or real?’
From Midas’ point of view, this situation itself is so real that it is hard to realize it.
“Now everything is ready.”
[A new quest has been created in the Main Scenario Quest section.]
NPC Zuga, who had no way of knowing Midas’s feelings, immediately gave the next quest.
[Centaur Knight]
– Quest Rank: Main scenario
– Quest Level: 99 or lower
– Quest Content: Go to the restricted area and defeat the Centaur Knight who has the power of an unknown god there!
– Quest Reward: Tunga’s Staff
! Upon completion of the quest, you can proceed with ‘The Chaser’
! Additional rewards will be given when the quest is completed in a party of 6 or less
! Additional Quest Reward: Tunga’s Black Staff
. Between the faces, I made a smile.
“Oh shit, this is a dream. Somehow, I was very lucky. It can’t be realistic that only what I want comes out like this, can’t it?
Midas He began to deny reality.
