Chapter 134. < Episode 43. New Partner (2). >
4.
It is often said.
If you’re too surprised, you won’t even make a sound.
Such was the state of Midas now.
‘and! wow!’
The admiration was so great that it could not easily come out of the throat and echoed only in the chest.
That was about it.
‘A master skill book for Legendary!’
The reward this time was so great that it surprised Midas, who had gotten used to the taste of the good item he had tasted.
And it was worth it.
‘Has the master skill book for Gaman Legendary ever been released?’
As far as he knows, there has been no master skill book dedicated to legendary skills.
It was a valuable reward that was hard to get even in the main scenario quest that gave the best reward.
Right now, when Midas received the Master Skillbook for Unique the other day, the condition was to clear the quest without dying.
Of course, from that perspective, this wasn’t a very good sign.
‘But if this is a reward, the difficulty is Hell Mode… … ‘
The difficulty of this quest will surely boast the highest level of difficulty among the main scenario quests that Midas has ever faced.
At least it was obviously going to be more difficult than the triple head troll.
‘Yes, it’s better to take a risk and go big than a low risk low return. all right A reward like this is worth it.’
However, considering the reward, it was worth taking.
‘From a viewer’s point of view, a higher level of difficulty would be much more fun.’
Furthermore, when thinking about live broadcasting, the high level of difficulty was not necessarily a bad thing.
It was because the difficulty of the monsters was what made the player’s skills stand out the most in the live broadcast.
That was also the difference between superstars and mediocre stars.
The superstars did not hesitate to challenge what everyone thought was difficult.
‘It’s much more impactful to deal with a powerful guy who will stick out his tongue the moment he sees it than a clumsy boss monster.’
For Midas, who had already achieved enough over-specs, it could be a stage where he could stand out with his over-specs.
At least, if you dreamed of becoming more than a star, you had to have that mindset.
‘In addition to the unique master skill book.’
Moreover, Midas was already in possession of the Master Skillbook for Unique.
This too was huge.
‘What do you use it for? long toss? Or a ballista? Double casting?’
To the point of falling into happy troubles.
“It only appears on days when the full moon hangs.”
NPC Umta told Midas the more detailed quest situation.
“If you miss that day, you will have to wait for the full moon to hang again.”
Midas was slightly suspicious of the explanation that followed.
‘It’s full moon, so I can’t even see the sky in the forest at night?’
A full moon in a night forest where no light can enter?
something hard to understand.
But Midas did not think long.
[59 hours 58 minutes 10 seconds remaining until full moon]
The text above Midas’ head told me.
that somehow something would come out.
‘okay.’
So, all Midas had to do was to prepare the best forces for battle.
“Please avenge my parents.”
Therefore, at the words of NPC Umta, Midas said with an expression that he was fully prepared.
“Yes, I will definitely pay you back.”
‘So please prepare only the master skill book!’
The NPC Umta bowed deeply at Midas’s determined answer, then turned her back, and the appearance of the NPC Umta soon disappeared in the darkness.
As if it never existed.
king!
The moment the NPC Umta disappeared, Lucky came and rubbed his head against Midas, and Midas stroked Lucky’s hair and looked at the clock above his head.
’59 hours.’
Midas, who checked the time in the watch, nodded lightly.
‘I think I can take level 118.’
5.
One of the keys to being a good player is adaptability.
How quickly do you adapt to the hunting ground?
That was the reason.
“Have you seen BJ Grand Mage?”
“He walked through the night forest like a mountain behind a neighborhood.”
The reason why players who use the night forest as their stage are more surprised by BJ Grand Mage.
His firepower had already been proven, so there was nothing more surprising about him.
How long has it been since you started hunting in the night forest… …
Adaptability is no joke.”
It’s getting faster as time goes on.”
However, in front of BJ Grand Mage’s adaptability, everyone was surprised.
The real level is different.”
It should be said that the level is different than the level.”
Of course, in reality, Midas’ adaptability wasn’t great enough to be called a genius.
If Midas had such a talent, he would have been able to buy chicken for three meals a day for himself, his brother, and his cute nephew.
‘At that time, I never thought I would feel the worth of hard work like this.’
That hunting in the night forest is the second for Midas.
That was the secret of his adaptability.
Moreover, it wasn’t just the second.
‘I was a really ridiculous high school student.’
Before losing the existing character, Midas suffered greatly in the night forest.
‘Because I was treated like garbage worse than a dog.’
The nature of the night forest overshadowed Midas’s only advantage, being able to hit things from afar.
It was literally.
This stage where you have to hit the target only by hearing the sound of the stage where you can’t see anything made Midas a mediocre ordinary wizard.
There was nothing wrong with that in itself.
The problem was that at that time, Midas was a professional player who went all-in on the game and walked the path of no return.
A professional player who has to somehow survive by playing games to earn money and use the money to feed himself and his family.
Therefore, the despair faced and the effort to overcome that despair were at a level that could not be expressed in words.
He studied the patterns of werewolves and black wolves, and even created a manual to analyze the traces they left behind.
Of course, he also researched how to properly use magic in the environment of the night forest.
‘At that time, when I was graduating here, I thought I was fucking stupid… … ‘
And I practiced to carve all of those things into my body.
‘I never thought it would be helpful in this way.’
Efforts at that time have now yielded truly valuable results.
[Your level has risen.]
Level up notice That was the result of my efforts at that time.
The moment I heard such a level up notification and the moment the battle was over, I immediately activated the ability window.
[Midas]
– Level: 118
– Constellation: Word Dragon
– Occupation: Great Mage
– Ability: Strength (5+588)/Stamina (5+533)/Intellect (592+942)/Magic Power (123+808) –
Remaining Stats : 4
Non-standard numbers that always exclaim when you look at them.
But rather than spouting admiration at the number, Midas immediately closed the stat window after investing the bonus stat in intelligence.
After that, without looking back, he stood in front of the body of the werewolf he had caught earlier.
and then shouted
“gold!
“Yes Master!”
At Midas’ cry, Gold who was around quickly appeared leading the body of the Centaur.
“Give me any orders!”
Then, to Gold, who showed his loyalty without hesitation, Midas said with a cold expression.
“Take off your clothes.”
A misleading command.
“yes! I’ll take it off right away!”
However, without the slightest hesitation, Gold started taking off all the items she was wearing.
A sight better to misunderstand.
Of course, there was no misleading sight after that.
Midas, who immediately put the item that Gold took off into the inventory, stood in front of the werewolf.
“Summon the Guardian.”
and cast an order.
Then a notification sounded.
[Would you like to have a werewolf as your guardian?]
“Yes.
The moment he answered the notification, the golden eyes of the gold centaur disappeared.
After that, the centaur’s body collapsed.
At the same time, the body of the werewolf, which was in the form of an achromatic mannequin, began to be colored, and soon the dead werewolf rose from its seat.
The Werewolf, who woke up like that, bowed his head in front of Midas with golden eyes shining.
“Master, I will generously burn for your great achievements in my new body!”
The moment Gold gets a new body.
Seeing this, Midas laughed.
‘I thought it would be a problem because it was so strong.’
You can create a Guardian by hunting 100 monsters.
The problem was that the monster’s level couldn’t be more than 10 levels higher than the skill user’s level.
In the case of Were Wolf, the monster level was 128.
In other words, from the perspective of Midas, you have to reach level 118 to summon a new Guardian based on Werewolf.
In fact, this issue is usually not a problem to worry about.
Most of the players who came to the night forest were over level 130.
‘All the stars have problems.’
It was just a problem caused by Midas’ strength being outside the standard.
It was a fun problem.
Among the hundreds of millions of God Wars players, Midas is the only one to face these concerns.
“How is your new body?”
“Looks like you can do anything!”
As Gold leaped from the spot with the horse, the body floated lightly.
“Go on a rampage.”
Afterwards, as if he had waited for Midas’ words, Gold climbed up the tree at once.
The resilient figure that came out of a height of more than 2 meters was completely different from the feeling that a centaur showed.
It was natural.
‘Werewolves are much stronger than Centaurs.’
As a player, level 20 or higher is right up there.
Midas said towards such gold.
“Now then, I have to bring out a new item for my new body.”
With that, Midas pulled out an armor from his inventory.
[Triple Head Troll’s Leather Armor]
– Grade: Unique
– Wearable level: 123 or higher
– Armor made of triple head troll’s leather. Very strong and at the same time very light.
– Strength +177
– Stamina +122
– Intelligence +39
– Magic +55
– Attack +10
– Physical Defense +10%
– Magic Defense +10%
– Movement Speed +10%
! All stats +70 when 2 set items are equipped
! When 3 set items are equipped, all ATK +21
! When 4 set items are equipped, Survival Instinct skill can be used (Cooldown: 60 minutes)
.
It is not an exaggeration to say that it was an item with amazing options.
‘If I can wear a set item, it’s right for me to wear it… … ’
In fact, it was originally meant to be worn by Midas.
The problem was the parts of the triple head troll set item.
‘I never thought it would be a top and bottom glove helmet.’
Midas, who currently wears the Guardian’s Gloves and the Guardian’s Headband, had no choice but to give up those two to enjoy the set effect.
For that reason, when opening items, Midas chose those that showed high strength and stamina rather than intelligence and magic power.
It is an item prepared only for gold.
Midas gave such items to Gold step by step, and soon Gold wore all the items.
The appearance of a werewolf over 2 meters tall dressed in gray leather was very intense.
It looks like the boss monster of the night forest.
“I will repay this grace of the master by raising the honor of the owner!”
Gold showed an indescribably thrilled expression at that fact.
Then, sneakily, he looked at Lucky, who was watching this scene from the side, lying face down on the floor.
don’t you have something like this
like you’re so proud.
However, Midas did not show any emotion to that fact.
Obviously, the appearance of gold now was amazing.
The triple head troll’s leather set is an item that has never appeared in God Wars!
However, there was a real exhaust prepared by Midas.
“Take the gold.
Midas He took a dagger from his inventory and handed it to Gold.
Only then did Midas show his admiration.
‘I’m glad I didn’t sell it and kept it.’
With that expression revealed, he raised his head and checked the clock above his head.
[9 hours 58 minutes 10 seconds remaining until full moon]
Midas nodded after checking the watch.
‘Sigh, I guess I can start hunting tomorrow.’
6.
Most guilds do not make advance notice of boss monster raids.
That was common, and no one questioned that fact.
However, BJ Grand Mage was different.
– Is BJ Grand Mage too quiet these days?
– Isn’t it time to explode something? Wasn’t there any advance notice?
People questioned the fact that he, who always foretold a huge typhoon, was silent, and each came up with their own thoughts on the question.
– Didn’t you get game over?
ㄴ I heard that they hunt like crazy in the night forest? I heard you wiped it out until yesterday?
ㄴ Hunting like crazy means leveling up, right? Then you have to do something… … .
It was around that time.
– A live broadcast announcement has been posted on the Rising Star Channel!
Finally, the live broadcast of BJ Daemage was announced.
– BJ Grand Mage Boss Monster Raid in 30 minutes!
The announcement time is 30 minutes before the start of the broadcast.
As I said before, it wasn’t particularly strange.
Most of these, even the 10th guild, usually announced the broadcast 30 minutes before the important boss monster raid.
No, the more famous the guild, the more the timing of the broadcast was treated with utmost secrecy.
The targets they challenged were monsters that no one had ever caught before, and most of them were unprecedented beings whose hunting could not be guaranteed even if they focused everything on the raid.
It was too dangerous to leave room for variables against such a monster.
That was the reason.
– If it was 30 minutes ago, wouldn’t it mean that this raid is not easy even for the BJ master mage?
– If it was easy for the character of BJ Grand Mage, it would have been possible to give notice 30 days in advance instead of 30 minutes.
– That’s right. Even when I caught the triple-headed troll, I gave a notice very openly in advance.
– I’m sure this one has the highest level of difficulty ever!
The reason why viewers had higher expectations than ever before the preview 30 minutes ago.
Naturally, countless viewers connected to the chat room created in advance.
– What else should I show you today?
– Are you going to show me how to fail today?
Those who gathered expressed their expectations ahead of the start of the broadcast.
– 10 seconds left.
Eventually, the countdown started and when the number reached zero, the live broadcast started and everyone could see it.
– uh?
– what?
The figure of BJ Grand Mage lying on the floor in front of a werewolf.
– The BJ Great Mage… … dead?
