Chapter 452. < Episode 137. Tomb of the Archmage (6). >

NPC Jung.
The NPC that everyone will encounter when graduating from the starting town. The one that all players who play God Wars will have no choice but to encounter.
“Long time no see.”
When such an NPC appeared in front of his eyes, Midas rather did not look at him.
I looked out the aisle beyond the NPC Jung.
‘ah.’
Then, everyone including Lucky was seen to be safe, and it was only then that he looked at NPC Jung.
Jung.
When his name was mentioned, Jung nodded.
“Thank you for remembering my name.”
“How did you get here? Wouldn’t the kids have easily let them in?”
The voice of Midas, who immediately spits out a question, is more wary than ever.
It had to be.
‘The first NPC I’ve ever seen appeared here, but it can’t be normal.’
Whether it’s watching a movie, watching a cartoon, or reading a novel, this case is an unusual case, whether it’s good or bad.
It’s natural to be nervous.
Above all, it was visible in the eyes of Midas.
‘Even more so if it appears at level 444.’
The fact that NPC Jung’s level has changed beyond imagination from when he first saw it.
A situation that deserves to be tense.
At the same time, it was a situation worthy of suspicion.
‘Is this the final boss by any chance?’
It is possible that NPC Jung is the final boss of this game.
Seeing such a doubtful appearance, NPC Jung answered the question Midas had uttered earlier.
“I slept for a while.”
“You said it was dormant?”
“I have many capable colleagues. Colleagues like Sakhalin or Arbia.”
“Why are you here?”
As soon as he understands how he came to this place, Midas immediately asks a new question.
In fact, the answer is also the answer, but Midas was dragging his time.
‘First put it in the inventory.’
Time to put the acquired Almighty Class Skill Card Book into your inventory.
‘If an attack comes in, let’s use Blink right away. After that, I spread the distance with a haste… … .’
And in this situation, it’s time to devise a strategy to respond when the NPC Jung in front of you attacks you.
“I came all the way here chasing an unknown person.”
Midas’ eyes narrowed at the ensuing question.
“An unknown person?”
“You must have seen it a few times. One who seeks the spoils of a nameless god. I heard that he came here.
“Are you in God’s tomb?”
“Yes, to the tomb of a lost god.”
“A tomb of a lost god?”
Then the notification sounded.
[Achieved the title of the one who realized the truth about the tomb of God.]
The moment he heard the notification, a puzzle was put together in Midas’ head.
‘wait.’
An unknown person who dreams of the resurrection of an unknown god has arrived at the tomb of an unknown god.
“Are you saying that a nameless god will be resurrected?”
“soon.”
If it is sooner or later, it means that it will be resurrected soon.
The moment he grasped the meaning, Midas was able to know the next quest given to him.
“We must prevent the resurrection.”
NPC Jung looked at Midas for a moment at those words full of determination, then shook his head.
“It is too late to stop the resurrection.”
“yes?”
“Rather than saying it was late, I should say it was unstoppable in the first place. Because it is impossible to stop what he has been preparing for hundreds of years in just a few years. Even more so, the fact that he came back here must mean that most of the preparations for resurrection have already been completed.”
Hearing that expression, Midas turned his head and looked at the sarcophagus.
Seeing that, the NPC Jung nodded.
“There was a wizard. The great great mage A great mage so great that he can even interpret the power of a nameless god. Then, in the end, he became a great mage who lost his own name and became a follower of a nameless god.”
That explanation was enough.
“Are you saying he was an unknown great mage?”
Who was the unknown person that Midas had seen so far?
‘That’s why the coffin was empty.’
In many ways, the moment when the questionable parts so far are resolved.
Of course, one question remained.
“Then what about the resurrected nameless god?”
What if the resurrection cannot be prevented?
“ah.
After spitting out the question, Midas immediately looked at his chest.
It seems that something has come up with an answer.
NPC Jung planted confidence in such a thought.
“The surest thing that can kill a god is none other than a dragon.”
dragon egg.
That’s the only way to catch the nameless god, and that’s why the main scenario quests so far have given you the task of hatching a dragon’s egg.
“That was what I had prepared. And you have done surprisingly well and exceeded my expectations.”
After hearing that explanation, Midas immediately activated the inventory and looked at the dragon egg inside.
[Dragon Egg] !In order to hatch
,
you need the power of the ‘nameless god’
!
Now, there is not much time left until hatching.
Naturally, the tasks that would be given to Midas from now on were anticipated.
“Hatching dragon eggs is the only way to stop Mirsu.”
[A new quest has been created in the Main Scenario Quest section.]
Then, Midas appeared in front of my eyes.
[Name]
– Quest level: Main scenario
– Quest level: 444 or lower
– Quest content: The name of the unknown great mage is Mirsu. To stop him, you must hatch a dragon egg. Let’s go to the sealed area Jung taught us about.
– Quest Reward: None
! Upon completion of the quest, you can proceed with the ‘Lonely Test’
New main scenario quest.
Seeing this, Midas lightly tilted his neck back.
‘Now the end is in sight.’
The end of this long journey is not far away.
In many ways, the feeling was different.
‘can do.’
Above all, the fact that he is more confident than ever before this task made Midas feel different.
In the past, I would have stuck out my tongue and screamed at this absurd difficulty, but now I even felt the excitement.
‘you can do it.’
Midas, embracing that excitement, straightened his head again and now looked at NPC Jung with a confident expression and said,
“Okay, I will. What should I do?”
Questions without hesitation.
“There is a legacy left by a nameless god here in the god’s tomb. So powerful that it is impossible to destroy or move, a legacy sealed here. Of course, there is a barrier so that no one can enter. A barrier that only those who have passed the test can cross.”
Despite NPC Jung’s explanation, Midas still spoke without hesitation.
“I will pass that test.”
There could be no hesitation.
‘I’m not going to smash anything!’
With Midas’ current firepower and strength, anything was possible except for catching a nameless god or an unknown person.
“If it were you, it would be possible.”
NPC Jung was also willing to cheer.
“The problem is that the moment you go there, Mirsu won’t stay still.”
“yes?”
“It is literally. Mirsu must be fully aware of what you are preparing. In that situation, if you want to go to the sealed area, they will try to interfere somehow.”
“Uh, then…
But at NPC Jung’s explanation, Midas’s expression began to harden.
‘It feels cheap.’
“What should I do?”
In response to the question uttered in the middle of a bad feeling, NPC Jung said with the same firm expression.
“While you pass the test in the sealed area, you must stop the group Mirsu sent by the others.”
another one.
‘shit.’
Midas, who grasped the true identity of the bitter feeling, did not answer and only made a poop-chewed expression, and NPC Jung tilted his head at that expression and said.
“Do you have any colleagues who can help you?”
“…. yes.”
“Then who is your friend? Don’t you have any friends?”
Midas couldn’t even answer the question that followed.
Seeing that, NPC Jung was also unable to speak for a while, and silence passed between the two for a while.
‘I thought it would be a problem because I’m single.’
For Midas, the silence was unbearable in many ways.
Of course, it wasn’t really a problem because I didn’t have friends.
‘I got hit. I have to go and ask for this after all… … .
The problem is that in order to proceed with this quest, you must eventually ask for help from others.
‘Do you want to move? The top 10 guilds?’
And the ransom of those who have to move like that is beyond Midas’ imagination.
‘I’m going crazy, if I had to do it here… … My relationship with the Abyss Guild is also inconsistent.’
Moreover, for Midas, who had a confrontation with the Abyss Guild in mind, asking for a favor here was inevitably a headache in many ways.
“Let’s move for now. Because he would have noticed.”
“You noticed?”
“There’s no way he wouldn’t notice the person who came to his grave.”
However, there was no room for weighing Midas.
[An unknown power begins to flow in the tomb of God.]
“He noticed.”
There is only action.
18.
There is such an expression.
The expression of being a star of stars.
In God Wars, Merlin was the one who lived up to that expression.
It was Merlin who led the Abyss Guild, which had countless superstars, including Two-Handed Muse, and under the leadership of Merlin, the Abyss Guild never stepped down from its top position.
In effect, the guild master of the Abyss Guild.
“Everyone has gathered.”
Merlin’s presence was even more evident at the gathering of 7 guild masters or their representatives among the 10 largest guilds.
They just stand there like drawing a circle, evenly, without any special meaning.
“Is this your first time gathering in front of me like this? Anyway, thank you for coming.”
Nevertheless, Merlin’s presence was so certain that one could only think of him as the leader of this archetype.
On the other hand, there was no composure in the expressions of the others.
There was no way.
The situation where I heard that the truth of God Wars was caught in the ending of God Wars.
“Because if you didn’t come, I wouldn’t be able to see you smiling again.”
In that situation, ignoring the Abyss Guild meant becoming an enemy they could no longer face.
In other words, it also meant that those gathered here would in fact become enemies with BJ the Great Mage.
It was surprising to see it that way.
“Only the Sword Guild and Undead Guild are missing.”
Excluding the two missing guilds, it means that the remaining 8 guilds were prepared to become enemies of the BJ Archmage.
“Wasn’t Azmo treated well?”
It also meant that even the guild that had been taken over by Azmo had a different mind now.
“Because it’s the last bet.”
“If you think about returning, you have to take risks.”
Of course, what was caught this time was not enough to make them have such a different mind, and in that sense, it was rather miraculous that the Sword Guild and the Undead Guild were omitted.
“Then let’s talk about it in earnest.”
Of course, Merlin did not think deeply about it.
Now, in a situation where enemies are identified, there is no need to think about how the enemy is feeling.
“How can I kill the BJ Archmage?”
All you can think about is killing one enemy.
“My method is simple. We all go hand in hand to catch BJ Grand Mage and his side.”
The way I prepared for it was also simple.
“Let’s do PK. It’s not just a boss monster raid race. Just chase and catch. At the end of the penalty period, catch again and again. Keep going until you see the end.”
PK.
There was no surer way to crush the enemy.
“Who is against this method?”
Of course, the honor that the 10 guilds have built so far will fall to the ground.
However, what took place this time was enough to make it not difficult to throw such humiliation and honor to the floor.
It was then.
As the representative of the Earth Explorers Guild, he raised his hand.
form of opinion.
“You don’t care about things like face, do you?”
Erd laughed at Merlin’s question and said,
“I don’t care.”
“Is it used?”
“Because if everyone here jumps in and you can’t catch BJ the Great Mage, there’s nothing worse than that.”
At those words, the left nodded.
“Yeah, that’s right. Catching BJ Grand Mage with PK is never easy.”
Catch him in a situation where BJ Grand Wizard showed a ridiculous performance?
Face is not important, but being able to do it is more important.
Merlin thought the same.
“If we run right now, there’s no way we can catch them. So you have to do two things.”
I knew that fact, so I prepared a method.
“One is to solidify teamwork. As our power has grown, we need to improve our constitution once again.”
“second is?”
“Specification up.”
Teamwork and spec up.
It was the surest way.
As far as we know, the max level for this game is around 450. In other words, once we reach level 440, BJ Grand Mage will not be able to defeat us no matter what means and methods are used.”
Because every game has an end.
“If that happens, this place will not be the tomb of God, but the tomb of BJ Archmage.
At that, everyone nodded.
But the expression was not good.
Because I knew better than anyone that it was more difficult than anything else.
That was the moment.
[An unknown power begins to flow in the tomb of God.]
All of a sudden, the entire notification was heard, and everyone stiffened like a stone statue at the notification.
There was no conversation.
‘Something happened.’
‘Looks like BJ the great mage did something.’
Everyone watched the surroundings with their mouths closed.
‘uh?’
‘A fog?’
Then he saw the fog that had filled the god’s tomb dissipate.
At the same time, a new notification sounded.
[No-named starts running rampant due to an unknown person.]
Runaway!
A frightening word to hear.
But on the contrary, everyone here was happy.
‘Does running out of control mean taking shape?’
‘Maybe I don’t need to turn off the aggro?’
From their point of view, it wasn’t that No Name itself was scary, it was that they were afraid of not knowing when and how they would appear.
But does it show up in a runaway?
From a hunting standpoint, it’s much easier.
[Acquired experience increases by 300%.]
[Item drop rate increases by 300%.]
There was no more silence in the notification that followed.
“300% crazy experience? Then you mean quadrupling?”
“The drop rate is quadrupled!”
At that moment, Merlin smiled and said.
“You’re lucky.”
