Chapter 118. < Episode 38. Troll Forest (2). >
4.
It was very easy to steal monsters in God Wars.
Experience points or related titles could only be received by the last player who did the damage and the party players with that player.
In the case of items, whoever rooted the item first had priority.
At this point, ‘Wasn’t it intentionally designed like this to just have a dog fight over the boss monster?’ enough to sound the same.
Nevertheless, there were not many players who wanted to try boss monster stealing.
There were two main reasons.
The first reason is that they know this fact, so they are careful.
The second reason is that there are virtually no ordinary players among those who try boss monster raids.
In fact, most of the players who tried boss monster raids were prospects belonging to famous guilds.
Recognized and supported for their innate talent, they have expensive items that ordinary players cannot dream of.
It was obviously difficult to win against them.
The bigger problem was if they won.
If the steal is successful, what will those who have stolen the monster do in that case?
Shall we mix teary-eyed icons on the God Wars community bulletin board and complain?
Or should he explain the situation to the giant guild behind his back and ask for severe punishment and revenge?
No, I didn’t even have to ask.
If it was a tier 1 guild, they would have had to punish and retaliate without compromise.
That’s why most of those who steal boss monsters in God Wars were severely punished, and such cases piled up to create an ecosystem.
– Yes, that’s right. If you want to intrude, feel free to do so. Because this opportunity will never come again.
What BJ Grand Mage did now was to deny such an ecosystem.
– I say it again. Two days later, we try the Twin Head Troll Raid in the Troll Forest. Whether you’re stealing monsters or betting PKs, it’s up to you. No matter what guild I belong to, there will be no retaliation on my personal level. Of course, this is only the case when the game is over.
The date of the raid was announced, a live broadcast was announced, and he said not to be afraid of any future regrets.
An unprecedented declaration that no one has ever made!
Because of that declaration, everyone was surprised.
“It’s a pain in the ass.”
Among them was Merlin, a key member of the Abyss Guild.
“I knew that BJ the Great Mage was someone who didn’t know how to do it, but I never imagined it would be to this extent.”
Merlin, who was watching the live broadcast of BJ Grand Mage, clearly visible through the screen as thin as a 200-inch piece of paper, turned his head to check Emma’s expression.
“If it was like this, all the goofballs would gather…. Then it wouldn’t be easy for the hunting snake guild to move. Are there too many variables?”
Emma’s expression, confirmed by Merlin, was slightly hardened, as if expressing the word serious.
Seeing that expression, Merlin shook his head.
“I never thought I would raise the plate. Also, it’s not an ordinary talent. So what are you going to do?”
Emma let out a long sigh instead of answering the question that followed.
And when the sound of such a sigh lingered in my ears and disappeared, I opened my mouth again.
“First of all, I need to investigate which guild will move to capture the BJ Archmage. If this is enough, prospective players from tier 1 guilds will feel the merits enough. The problem is time… … You should consider other options.”
A difficult answer to answer.
Merlin didn’t ask any more questions.
“Yeah, you should do well.”
Instead, he pointed at the ceiling with his index finger and spoke encouragingly.
“If this fails again, the order will come down from above in one way or another.”
warning encouragement.
At that, Emma still had a firm expression on her face.
It was revealed on the face that it was impossible to hide the indescribable complex feeling.
‘doesn’t care.’
However, unlike that expression, there was no complexity in her mind.
I wasn’t expecting the current situation.
I didn’t have to, exactly.
‘Because the hunting snake guild moves after everything is over and the curtain comes down.’
In the first place, Emma and the hunting snake guild had no intention of attempting to steal the boss monster.
It was literally.
What the hunting snake guild was aiming for was the BJ master mage after hunting the boss monster.
The moment when BJ Grand Mage feels confident that the request has been successful, the moment when he vomits all his capabilities.
It was the intention to put an end to it at that moment.
In other words, the boss monster raid itself was a trap.
‘If he rather grows the plate and tires himself out, I’ll be grateful from this side.’
From that point of view, doing tricks like this is rather a boon for the hunting snake guild.
‘It’s over as soon as it’s live.’
No matter what he did, it would be a nightmare for the BJ Archmage to eventually appear on the spot.
That’s why Emma didn’t care about BJ Archmage anymore.
‘Then I have to deal with the traitor.’
Just looking for the next prey.
5.
– The hunting date was also revealed, but they even allowed intrusion!
– There was no broadcast like this in the world. Is it BJ or an idiot?
ㄴ Like again?
ㄴㅇㅇ Again.
People were surprised and excited at the announcement of BJ Grand Mage.
And soon, as time passed, when the hot heat subsided and their minds became cold, they were able to realize the true intentions of BJ Archmage.
– This means that the horse won’t retaliate. In other words, you’re saying you’ll see all those who come nearby as enemies and kill them, right?
– Yeah, it’s not like Catch Me If You Can. This is a declaration of the previous intrusion.
BJ Grand Mage’s declaration is not just another show to increase the number of live viewers.
– He will literally and publicly execute those who stand in his way.
This is a desperate punishment for the challenge towards yourself.
When it came to that fact, some thought.
– Wow, I gave up trying to break in after hearing this story.
– If I break into this, will I get a ticket to the underworld?
– Not to mention, the target is the BJ master mage!
Who will step into this risky undertaking?
Of course, the answer to that question is simple.
– Yes, the target is BJ Grand Mage.
– 955th in small park ranking, 2nd in issue ranking among players below level 200 in God Wars.
– If you catch it, it’s great.
– Wouldn’t it be much better to catch BJ Archmage than to catch some level 200 boss monster?
Considering the merit of BJ Grand Mage as a prey, it is worth taking the risk.
That fact became another gossip.
– Actually, there aren’t many opportunities like this, right? If you catch BJ Grand Mage here, isn’t it a real lottery win?
– Who said that? If you kill BJ Grand Mage, you’ll make 100,000 dollars on the spot.
– If this happens, the 1st tier guild will move? Honestly, an opportunity like this will never come again, right?
Who are the people willing to take this risk?
How many challengers will there be?
What will the BJ Grand Mage show against those challengers?
The day of the decisive battle dawned in anticipation that no one had ever given.
6.
‘I knew it was a piece of shit, but I gathered like a pack of dogs.’
Midas smiled bitterly when he confirmed the players who filled the forest of trolls.
‘Do you hate me that much?’
It was a bitter laugh at the fact that there were so many players who wanted to capture themselves even by taking a considerable risk.
Moreover, he could be sure that these were the people who came to catch him.
“There’s gold!”
“There is also Lucky next to you.”
Even though it’s a forest of trolls, isn’t there any other reason to open your eyes to find something else while ignoring the obvious trolls?
“I can’t see the BJ Grand Mage?”
“He must be hiding.”
It was thanks
‘Yes, I’m hiding it well.’
The fact that Midas, who had transformed into a troll through Polymorph, was able to roam around and search for those who came after him without difficulty.
‘More than that, everyone in the guild is great. It’s getting harder for the goofballs to find.’
As Midas lightly explored, the number of players he identified was about forty.
Of course, it wasn’t just about forty people.
‘Is the archer class twenty-seven and the thief class fifteen?’
There are only about 40 of them, consisting of an archer class that can be monitored from a distance and a thief class that can hide through stealth skills.
‘Considering the party members I left behind, there are over one hundred and fifty around me right now.’
Even though the live broadcast hadn’t even started yet, more than 100 people were already on the tail.
‘I also saw the hunting snake guild.’
And among them, a hunting snake guild member was also seen.
‘Two.’
Not one, but two.
After estimating the number of hyenas that surrounded him and the number of hunting snakes hidden within them, Midas looked up at the sky.
[2 minutes and 29 seconds left until the twin head trolls appear]
The countdown announcing the boss monster’s respawn time.
As soon as that becomes 0 and Midas attacks the twin-headed troll that has appeared, the live broadcast will begin.
‘When the live starts, these three times will come.’
And when the live broadcast started, more than twice as many people would flock to this place.
From now on, you have to catch the twin-headed troll in front of that huge group and the hunting snake guild hidden in it.
‘It doesn’t matter how many people come.’
However, in the face of something far away from just imagining it, Midas’ expression was unexpectedly ordinary.
With such a calm expression, Midas pretended to be a troll and started to move around.
And soon the countdown above his head reached zero.
big!
Aaaaa!
At the same time, the two heads of the two-headed troll screamed as if to announce their presence.
“Did you get out of here?”
“uh? Are you really awake?”
At that fact, all those who were watching the BJ archmage looked surprised.
You can guess when the boss monster will appear if you know the last time you hunted the boss monster, but no one knows when the boss monster will appear.
In other words, the appearance of the twin-headed troll itself was an unexpected situation for everyone gathered here.
Everyone froze because it was unexpected.
What made them move was the sound.
Perong!
The sound the fireball made as it collided with the two-headed troll.
The moment they heard that sound, everyone shouted the same.
“BJ Grand Mage has the right to go first!
“The raid begins!”
7.
Trolls appearing in the forest of trolls have different levels depending on their size.
Guys between 3 and 4 meters were around level 110, but some of the kids taller than 5 meters were over level 130.
Of course, the Troll’s boss monster, the Twin Head Troll, had to be the biggest.
A height of 6.3 meters and a gigantic size that makes such a height look like a dwarf.
big!
big!
Most impressive of all were the two heads on top of such a huge body.
As if trying to prove that each other was the owner of the body, the forest was shaken by vicious screams that competed with each other.
A presence that makes your hair grow soft just by looking at it.
How does it feel to have to destroy such a presence?
That was the reason that only skilled players could challenge the boss monster.
Ordinary players couldn’t fully demonstrate their abilities just by facing boss monsters, except in special cases.
In other words, the first condition in dealing with the boss monster was courage.
The courage to attack the boss monster first without looking back or backing down.
In that sense, Midas’ courage could be said to be greater than anyone else’s.
Perong!
Because the huge fireball he threw without hesitation landed right in the center of his chest with two heads.
“Awesome.”
The players who saw it from afar through their skills, and those who came to aim for the BJ Grand Mage, also vomited admiration at the sight.
“I don’t even look back, I just fly and see.”
“Against that monster.”
It was a monster that could not be easily attacked the moment it was encountered than the fully prepared parties.
Of course, that surprise was short-lived.
The observers who realized that BJ Grand Mage had started the raid informed their colleagues waiting in the rear.
“The raid begins!”
“Everybody move!”
The players who saw and received it immediately took action.
“Going according to plan!”
“Don’t collide with other players for nothing! Even if our eyes meet, pretend not to notice!”
“Dry away the surrounding monsters so BJ Grand Mage can focus on the raid!”
BJ Daemage started organizing the surroundings so that he could focus on hunting the Twin Head Trolls.
It wasn’t strange.
The purpose of those gathered here is either twin head trolls or BJ master mages.
No matter what he was aiming for, there was no reason to aim at this point when the battle had just begun.
It’s only fitting that the two of them hit and run after a battle of attrition to some extent before aiming.
‘The best time to catch BJ Grand Mage is when he is in phase 3, two head mode.’
Among them, the best timing was the moment when the two-headed mode was activated the moment the two-headed troll entered phase 3.
If so, it was much more beneficial to block the room to become a variable until such a situation came.
“We catch those bastards who do weird things for no reason.”
“The story is over with the other party members. We will deal with those who move before Phase 2.”
Some of the gathered players were even planning to deal with the attention-seekers who wanted to do weird things just to get attention.
“You can’t miss the golden opportunity to catch BJ Grand Mage because of these ridiculous guys.”
It was possible because he was a BJ master mage whose neck was valued at hundreds of thousands of dollars.
‘It doesn’t move as expected.’
Midas had anticipated the intentions of such players early on.
‘Yeah, even if it’s like me, I’ll just watch until the third phase begins.’
Because that’s common sense.
On the one hand, it was terrifying.
big!
Isn’t it the story of Midas fighting a fierce battle with the twin-headed troll monster in front of him, and when the battle comes to an end, hundreds of people rush to catch him or the twin-headed troll?
‘Catching this among those guys… … The thought alone is terrifying.’
Horrible just imagining it.
Of course, there was one way out of that terrible imagination.
‘Well, I don’t intend to catch it now anyway.’
Giving up hunting twin-headed trolls.
Remembering the method, Midas put a smile on his lips.
