Chapter 117. < Episode 38. Troll Forest (1). >
1.
Troll Forest.
It was a vast forest located northeast of Wood Village, and as the name suggests, it was a forest where trolls appeared.
The external characteristics of the trolls appearing in such a troll forest were similar to what most people think.
A giant with a body that looks like it was roughly made of gray clay and covered with green moss or mushrooms instead of clothes.
And the owner of a very strong resilience that makes dealers and tankers fall into nightmares.
In addition, the hunting ground level was from level 110 to level 130.
Most of the players who have heard the explanation so far had similar thoughts.
“The hunting ground level is up to level 130?”
“If I could raise 20 levels here, it would be convenient without having to change the item settings!”
It’s a pretty good hunting ground.
It wasn’t a strange idea.
Usually, when the hunting ground changes, the item setting must be changed accordingly.
“If you get used to it, will you suck some honey?”
Moreover, in God Wars, adapting to monsters was one of the most difficult elements.
From that point of view, it is quite possible to think of the troll forest as a good hunting ground, where you can level up to level 130 once you set up items and adapt.
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
Of course, those who were really astute had different ideas.
“Being able to raise to level 130 means that at level 110 you can face level 130 monsters!”
“Hell, hell.”
Rather, I knew that it was a place where the risk was greater than anywhere else.
That was the hallmark of the troll forest.
The trolls appearing in the forest of trolls had different levels of monsters depending on their physique.
“You can’t rush at the monsters here.”
“That’s right, you have to keep an eye on the monsters.”
For that reason, it was not uncommon for low-level parties to see blood on the contrary as they recklessly attacked their prey like other hunting grounds. It’s like experiencing a completely different kind of stress than you’ve ever experienced.
Of course, there was someone who had nothing to do with such stress.
‘Looking at his size, he seems like a kid of a certain level.’
Midas he was
To him, who had already succeeded in solo killing Ghost alone, the level of the troll was fine.
‘Experience must be more salty.’
Rather, a large troll is just a good source of experience for Midas to level up faster.
“Lucky, ask first.”
king!
“Gold you then bite!”
“Yes Master!”
Furthermore, Midas did not attempt any in-depth tactics or strategies against the trolls.
“I bite the last one.”
They only want to unilaterally take down the trolls with simple but overwhelming violence.
big!
The troll, who had no way of knowing it, stopped in its seat the moment Lucky appeared and let out an angry roar.
Against such a troll, it was unnecessary due to the will of a life-and-death decision.
Krrr!
Lucky threw himself at the troll at once without using any skills, driving his fangs deep into the neck of the 5-meter-tall guy.
big!
The troll screamed and grabbed Lucky’s fur to free him from biting his neck.
“You bastard!”
Kwak!
At that moment, Gold’s torso headbutt, which ran at full strength, shook the troll’s body.
big!
Then the troll’s huge body fell to the floor, so helpless.
It was possible because Gold’s attack worked well while Lucky clung to it, shaking the troll’s balance.
Kugoong!
So the troll knocked on the earth.
Perong!
At the same time, different types of spears struck the body of the troll, starting with Midas’ fireball that flew from a distance of 70 meters.
The power of every single shot of that magic was at a level that could not be thought of as belonging to a wizard who had not yet reached level 100.
Level 150 or higher if I had to put it in terms of level.
big!
From the point of view of a troll, who is only near level 120, screaming is inevitable.
“It’s no joke.”
“It takes less than a minute to catch a troll.
And from the point of view of the players watching the scene from afar, it was likely to scream.
“How the hell do you get such firepower?”
“Even look at the street. It’s just bombing at 60 meters.”
“A troll with good recovery can’t stand BJ’s magic cooldown.”
“I’m afraid of this, so I can’t even hunt nearby. If I get hit by blind magic like that, I’ll die.”
It was like seeing a car suddenly going at 300 km/h on a highway where everyone was going at 100 km/h.
Competing with that car is unthinkable.
On the contrary, those who saw BJ Grand Mage’s hunting had no choice but to believe it.
“Are you really going to hunt the two-headed trolls in two days, as rumored?”
The moment BJ Grand Mage first entered Wood Village, a rumor spread that he would catch the two-headed troll 8 days later.
In fact, when the rumor first came out, no one believed it.
Aside from the ability of BJ Archmage, isn’t the forest of trolls a hunting ground that can be raised to level 130?
Naturally, the hunting difficulty of the boss monster, the Twin Head Troll, had to be high.
No matter how much a BJ master mage was, it was possible to challenge after leveling up to a certain extent, and it was common sense that the leveling up time would take at least twice as long as other hunting grounds.
“It would be even weirder not being able to catch that much.”
But now, with the fighting ability of BJ Archmage, I had no choice but to think that it was not a rumor.
‘Now the basis for the rumor has become clear.’
That was exactly what Midas was aiming for.
Midas The moment he entered Wood Village, he intentionally leaked the date of his boss monster hunt.
And it showed overwhelming firepower and proved that it was not a lie.
‘So now those who come to catch me will believe in D-Day and flock to it.’
So that more people who are aiming for BJ Grand Mage gather.
‘And they’ll compete with each other.’
Then, naturally, there was no choice but to form a competition between those who were aiming for the BJ master mage.
It is absolutely impossible for everyone to join hands to win the one and only trophy.
Of course some will join hands.
‘It’s a headache for the hunting snake guild.’
However, the hunting snake guild was an exception.
The hunting snake guild is one of the 3 non-manner guilds representing God Wars, because there are far more people who want to catch the hunting snake guild than those who want to kill BJ Archmage.
It is an obvious fact that the more people there are, the narrower the range of maneuver becomes.
‘Because the more the head count, the more variables get out of control.’
Moreover, as the number of people increases, the probability of an accident also increases, doesn’t it?
‘Either being blinded by an attack and losing stealth, or being caught up in a range magic thrown to hit someone else, or getting caught up in a twin head troll’s runaway… … Anything can happen.’
In the end, surviving in such a mess had no choice but to become a person with overwhelming personal skills.
[You have killed the troll]
[Your level has risen]
[You have reached level 100]
That is why Midas insisted on 8 days.
[You have obtained 100 titles.]
[Runes are given as a reward.]
[The dragon only for war gives you a special opportunity.]
[Do you want to use the opportunity?]
100 levels To achieve that monumental level.
‘The level 100 skill card reward is exceptional.’
Moreover, the reward for level 100 was very special.
‘Minimum rare grade or higher and at least one Legendary grade skill card will come out unconditionally.’
Among the 100 options given as a level 100 reward, the Legendary grade appeared unconditionally.
For Midas, this is an opportunity to acquire a Legendary skill unconditionally.
Midas did not delay such an opportunity.
“yes.
100 cards appeared in front of Midas’ eyes along with the answer he uttered immediately.
At that moment, Midas checked the plan in his head once again.
‘Here, after upgrading the specs, I immediately declared war live… … ’
Unfortunately, however, Midas’ thinking had to stop.
‘Inferno? really?’
Because the golden card burned his head to pure white.
2.
An online community where all kinds of stories about God Wars come and go.
Someone posted a post there.
– Is it two days from now?
It was a post that I couldn’t even guess why I wrote this.
However, the reaction was different.
– Rumors that BJ Grand Mage catches twin-headed trolls?
– According to rumors, D-Daisy will be in two days.
Everyone understood the meaning of the text.
That was about it.
Rumors about BJ Grand Mage were heating up most communities related to God Wars to the extent that it is no longer necessary to explain the back and forth.
– Isn’t that just nonsense?
Of course, I didn’t believe all the rumors.
So it was even hotter.
– Can you catch it?
ㄴ The other day, seeing the paparazzi video of BJ Archmage catching a troll, it seemed like there was nothing he couldn’t catch a twin-headed troll?
Even if you can catch it, it’s usually normal to hide it. If the schedule is revealed, the tackle will come in?
ㄴ I heard that BJ Grand Mage said it by mistake?
ㄴ If I said it by mistake, wouldn’t it be possible to change the schedule?
ㄴ It’s a very important schedule, so I heard you can’t change it?
ㄴMaybe the boss monster has already been recruited. Why are you there? If you hold it on purpose.
Isn’t that too much?
Because nothing makes people hotter than an argument.
More than anything, those who heard this rumor were looking forward to it.
– Rather than that, if this was real, tackling wouldn’t be a joke, would it?
– Do you think all kinds of guys will try to appear on the live broadcast of BJ Grand Mage?
– Like last time, assassins will also intrude.
There is nothing more fun than having an accident during a live broadcast.
What if the accident was foretold?
It is natural to have expectations.
Such anticipation was heating up not only online but also offline.
“Will the BJ Grand Mage really act according to the rumors?”
“After hearing the story, it was a rumor that I spewed out of my mouth, but it has the name value of BJ Grand Mage, so I don’t think I will be softhearted now that it will be difficult.”
Even in the break room of the capsule room, the rumor was mentioned as a topic of conversation among those gathering.
“Keuhmm Ah, I told you not to say this…. You can never go anywhere and tell me. BJ Grand Mage is preparing a proposal this time.
“A proposal? what bullshit is that?
“No, so this time, after gathering people’s attention through rumors, he confesses to propose!”
To the extent that nonsense that is not even funny is being reproduced.
“Wow, you’re a romantic.”
“Do you know a bit about romance?”
“Well, what I want to catch is not the boss monster, but your heart.
And he thought such rumors plausible and even attached a basis for them.
‘What the hell does Hyeok-ju have in his head, so even if he hits a ball, he gets a ball like that?’
For Jung Hyeon-woo, the person who sat in a corner of the break room and watched the production process of such nonsensical rumors, it was just absurd.
‘I didn’t expect it to get this much hotter than that.’
In fact, Jung Hyeon-woo did not know that the rumors he spewed would become so heated.
To be more honest, I was afraid of this heat.
Because he did not know that if the flames were too excessive than he thought, he might become trapped in the flames and turn to ashes.
It was like that until at least an hour ago.
Until you reach level 100 and get a reward.
‘Well, it doesn’t matter now. The game is over anyway.’
But now it was different.
‘Now then, shall we go start a fire?’
In his steps as he rose from his seat, there was nothing like the fear he had had an hour ago.
3.
Troll Forest.
There, with Lucky and Gold behind him, Midas turned his head and looked at the chat window.
[BJ Lucky fan has entered.]
[BJ Azmo fan has entered.] [
BJ Gold fan has entered.]
[BJ I want to be a great mage has entered.]
All sorts of things come in nonstop. of viewers, however, the questions of those viewers were the same.
– Hey BJ Grand Mage, is the rumor true these days?
– Do you really run the boss raid after two days?
– Are you really proposing?
Whether the rumor is true or not.
Midas, who confirmed the reaction of the chat window, spoke.
“Because of that rumor, I turned on the live broadcast now. Let’s make it clear first.”
Midas had a more serious expression than ever before.
“The rumors are little different from the truth.”
different from the truth!
Most of the reactions in the chat window to those words that came out with that serious expression were one.
– After all, rumors are just rumors!
– I thought it would be nonsense.
– Yeah, that makes no sense. Does it make sense to announce 8 days ago that we will catch the boss monster in the world?
– Oh, there will be no accidents after all.
The reaction was that it was too bad.
“sorry. It seems that my negligence has caused this problem.”
In response, Midas lightly bowed his head.
“So I would like to give you more details.”
Then he said with an even more serious expression.
“At the time of the last Ghost Raid, a person I was grateful for interrupted my hunting. At the time, I was lucky to get over the situation, but since then I have been in trouble. I don’t think I did anything wrong, but there are people who don’t like me.”
Self-reflection no matter who hears it.
At those words, the atmosphere in the chat window also changed.
– BJ Grand Mage, is it strange all of a sudden?
– A retirement broadcast?
– BJ Lucky, BJ Grand Mage must have eaten something wrong!
It was an attitude and behavior that I couldn’t understand considering the character BJ Grand Mage had shown.
However, in the reaction of the chat window, Midas continued to speak with his head bowed as if he had died.
“So I thought. What can I do for those who hate me? Then I remembered. I should give them a chance.”
Eventually, Midas lowered his head.
“In two days, I will challenge the Twin Head Troll Raid. I will not take any personal retaliation for any mishaps that occur in the process.”
Midas raised his head, and a smile hung on his lips.
“Yes, that’s right. If you want to break in, feel free to do so. An opportunity like this will never come again.”
a mischievous smile.
