Chapter 162. < Episode 51. The protagonist hides his powers (2). >
5.
[Your level has risen.]
A happy reminder.
However, Midas did not pay the slightest attention to the notice.
“Whoa!
Instead, with a short breathing sound, he threw the fireball in his hand toward the front.
Perong!
The fireball that flew like that hit the head of the fallen Red Goblin warrior who was running toward Midas.
[You have killed the corrupted Red Goblin warrior.]
An exhilarating one-shot one-kill.
But there was no time to rejoice at that fact.
Krrr!
It was a situation where four corrupted Red Goblin warriors were closing the distance to kill Midas.
Midas shouted in front of the situation.
“block!”
Lucky and Gold immediately appeared at that cry.
K-King!
“You guys!”
The three, including Gareum’s shadow, attacked the three corrupted Red Goblin warriors at once.
Kkeurea!
Only one of the dogs left rushed towards Midas, and Midas started backstepping against the enemy.
quickly and cheerfully.
Midas, who was stepping back with great skill, threw a fireball in his hand at the enemy.
Perong!
The thrown fireball neatly covered the enemy’s head.
‘It’s been a while now.’
Backstep.
That was what Midas had prepared for the upcoming battle with the majority.
It wasn’t particularly great.
Even young children could imagine that it would be useful to move backwards and attack in battle with the enemy.
‘I was worried because I didn’t do it… … .’
But surprisingly, it was a method that was not used well in God Wars.
The reason was simple.
In God Wars, the movement speed of wizards is very slow, and the higher the level, the bigger the gap with monsters or melee dealer players.
In such a situation, there wasn’t much merit to be gained by casting magic while stepping back.
Most of all, most wizards didn’t have that many uses of magic.
There were only a handful of people who could double cast, and there were only a few wizards who could triple cast, even in 1st tier guilds.
The number of bullets he had was small, but instead of throwing backwards, it was better to just throw it clearly and then run away with all his might while turning his back.
Midas has always been like that.
However, those who walk on a path that no one has ever walked before need a new way.
‘I had a hard time practicing, but… … .’
So, on days like this, I prepared for the time when backstepping was needed and practiced steadily.
This battle was a real battle practice, and at the same time, it was a stage where the results of practice could be seen.
‘Still, it’s worthwhile.’
And the results received were satisfactory.
‘The result is a little better than expected.’
More than expected, it’s enough to add that satisfactory modifier.
Of course, not everything went as expected.
king!
“This is my prey!”
couw!
“You bad bird! Taking away the last remaining prey!”
Midas let out a long sigh as he watched the three competing with the now one fallen Red Goblin warrior in the middle.
“ah.
Over the head of Midas who let out a sigh and tilted his head back, I could see a blaze golem with a height of 3 meters and a smaller physique than a normal golem, but with an extraordinary momentum.
‘It hits the goal.’
This time’s spec up was far beyond Midas’ expectations.
‘I never thought it would be this much.’
I knew that the visible spec up itself was unique.
In the case of Lucky, due to the shadow of Gareum, his combat power is more than doubled.
On top of that, Gold’s combat power, based on the boss monster, was superior to Lucky’s, far from lacking.
The Blaze Golem was also a monster that displayed combat abilities on a completely different level from normal golems.
Expected level so far.
‘I never thought the synergy would be this much.’
What was unexpected was the effect created by this combination.
‘I never thought the Blaze Golem would pull aggro like this.’
The Blaze Golem didn’t have any special skills.
Its attack method was the same as that of a normal golem.
All you have to do is physically attack the enemy with a roaring body.
Instead, unlike normal golems, flames remained where the blaze golem attacked.
And those who were damaged by the flames recognized that they had been attacked by the Blaze Golem.
In the case of normal monsters that are set to attract aggro to the target that attacked first, they will attack the blaze golem even if they only touch the flame.
‘Wide area aggro.’
Even if you set fire to the Blaze Golem before the battle, most of the monsters’ aggro was concentrated on the Blaze Golem.
Naturally, Lucky and Gold were able to focus only on damage dealing.
‘The jackpot is more powerful than I thought.’
Some of the variables that came out of that situation were removed by Jackpot on its own.
There was nothing difficult.
Because Jackpot, who was still flying even after catching Lucky, snatching normal sized normal monsters was no big deal.
To be honest, in this process, Midas did not intervene in many or large parts.
‘…. Do I really just want to be a tanker?’
At this point, it’s to the point where you’d think that it wouldn’t be bad for Midas to just use magic as a tank/tank instead of consuming magic by claiming to use magic.
‘If I do that, I’ll be able to summon two Blaze Golems.’
Moreover, if Midas did not use magic and claimed to be a magic tank, it was also possible to summon two blaze golems.
‘Rather than that, I didn’t expect that the amount of magic power would be insufficient even though I invested this much in magic power.’
On the other hand, Midas was still unable to reveal his power.
It was proof that Midas’ firepower far exceeded his expectations.
‘It’s not a joke.’
Laughing at that fact, Midas heard a notification in his ears.
[You have killed the corrupted Red Goblin warrior.]
At that notification, Midas recalled the number in his head.
‘Now the remaining number is 2,000.’
2131 last.
‘I never thought catching 10,000 birds would end so easily.’
Now, if you run for about two hours, you can easily finish the long-awaited quest.
But Midas did not continue the game there.
‘It’s almost time for the meeting.’
Because I have a meeting.
‘I hope the boss brings good news.’
A meeting with a very nice boss.
6.
The contents of the conversation with Gamma Pharmaceuticals came to mind in Park Young-joon’s mind as he tapped his head with his fingers.
‘After all, the other side isn’t stupid either.’
They answered Park Young-joon’s request.
It’s different from the promise, but since you’ve captured the chief of the Red Goblin tribe, I’ll give you the wand of an unknown great mage.
Instead, ask for one more advertisement as it is different from the promise.
‘Red Mountain Solple.’
The content of the request is none other than Red Mountain Solple!
It was not an unreasonable demand.
Currently, BJ Grand Mage even managed to raid the Red Goblin tribal chief through solo play.
Dealing with a group of normal Red Goblins was not worth the risk.
‘The problem is that I can’t just catch him.’
However, in a live broadcast under the name of the BJ great mage, it is impossible for the BJ great mage to conduct a normal hunting broadcast.
In fact, Gamma Pharmaceutical repeatedly mentioned the word performance during the conversation.
Don’t just make results, make results that will surprise everyone!
‘Due to the nature of BJ’s great mage, there is a high possibility of aiming for the highest record in the Lucky Seven style.’
In response to that demand, there was a high possibility that BJ Grand Mage would challenge the highest record.
‘The records of the Abyss Guild.’
Moreover, the fact that the current record holder is the Abyss Guild will make BJ Grand Mage even more excited.
‘Nothing good.’
Of course, Park Young-joon was negative about putting so much energy and passion into the contents of this request.
‘Because in the end, in order to show a performance that satisfies everyone, I’ll have to show my full potential.’
No matter how much I am a BJ master mage, I will do my best to show you something truly amazing.
Then I had no choice but to take out all the bars I had.
For those who were aiming for the BJ Grand Wizard, it was an opportunity to check the power of the prey.
‘BJ Grand Mage does not have a guild.’
Above all, BJ Grand Mage had not officially joined any guild.
Meaning that there is no power to officially help him.
In other words, the more BJ Grand Mage did his best for this performance request, the greater the risk.
‘Still, if it’s BJ Grand Mage, I’ll call.’
That’s why BJ Daemage will do his best.
because he has been
Park Young-joon had no intention of stopping that fact.
‘Crisis is an opportunity, if you’re going to do it anyway, properly.’
Because his role was to raise the plate, not to dry it.
‘We will use this performance stage as a showcase stage.’
A video appeared on the monitor of Park Young-jun, who was determined to do so.
– Oh, you’re the boss.
And the BJ master mage beyond the video spoke up.
– What are you doing?
Park Young-joon opened his mouth to the question that followed.
“A request came with a gift.”
7.
– Wharton: A request came with a gift. Gamma Pharmaceuticals will give you what you want, so they asked you to do what they want.
– Wharton: I asked for a red mountain solo performance.
When the chat appeared on the chat window, Midas narrowed his eyes.
‘Red Mountain Solple?’
The first thing that caught my eye was the word Red Mountain Solple.
It wasn’t a particularly surprising word.
‘Honestly, people are looking forward to BJ Grand Mage’s Red Mountain solo live broadcast.’
It is normal to move to the next stage after defeating the boss monster.
But now the case of Midas was different.
The boss monster, Red Goblin Tribal Chief, was captured, but viewers had expectations for the Red Mountain Solple, not the next stage.
‘I can’t help but want to see what no one else has done.’
It was a sight that was harder to see than hunting a boss monster.
Anyway, it was a waste to pass by when there was something the public wanted.
Aren’t stars supposed to respond to public demands?
‘The problem is performance.’
Here, the word “performance” behind what troubles Midas.
Midas, who was contemplating the meaning of the word, opened his mouth.
“If you keep in mind the live broadcast time, etc., is it a lucky seven?”
king?
At that moment, at the word Lucky, Lucky, who was lying down next to Midas, pricked up his ears and looked at Midas.
“No Lucky, not you. There is a lucky seven where you can catch 777 Red Goblin tribes in the shortest time. Probably the highest record holder… … It was 19 minutes and 29 seconds recorded by a party of 10 in the Abyss Guild, right?”
– Wharton: You’re right.
The President of Rising Star Channel responded to Midas’ explanation for Lucky, and Midas hurriedly looked at the chat window.
‘You don’t think I’m going to break that record, do you?’
A new chat came into the surprised Midas eyes.
– Wharton: I don’t think we need to talk about this any more since you know it well. Whatever we do, we will make the best stage.
The content made Midas’ stomach dry.
‘Oh shit. It sounds like you really want to show me something… … .’
It’s strange when a high-ranking person taps on the shoulder and tells you to do well, but it doesn’t feel burdensome.
‘I can’t say I can’t.’
What’s more, I’m a bit incompetent in this situation. Isn’t that something you can’t say?
“Yes, you have to work hard.”
‘Looks like I’m going to die again.’
That’s how Midas answered in the affirmative, hiding his true intentions.
Of course, I can’t help but feel bitter.
‘No, more than that, what is a gift, so the contents of the request are like this? Just make sure the gift isn’t bad. It’s just that I boycott… … .’
As soon as Midas lost his temper, a new chat message came up.
– Wharton: I have to make good results. The name value of the wand of an unknown great mage is rising steeply thanks to BJ the great mage.
Seeing the contents, Midas froze.
‘what? An unknown archmage’s wand? Why is that here?’
The thought in my head stopped at the sudden appearance of the word.
– Wharton: I sent it now.
As if not knowing the circumstances of Midas, chatting started to appear over and over again in the chat window.
Of course, Midas couldn’t understand the contents of the chat.
‘Is it April Fool’s Day today? Or is it a translation error? Is that the wand of a player whose character name is an unknown great mage?’
It’s strange if you can understand it in a situation where even the concept is shaken beyond the level of thinking.
Naturally, Midas’ expression stiffened, and the president of Rising Star Channel, who confirmed that expression, said.
– Wharton: There are so many things to do, but it’s not polite to hold on to them for a long time.
– Wharton: Then, please let us know when the date and schedule are set.
At that moment, the chat window disappeared at the end of that chat, and at the same time, the live broadcast also ended.
‘uh?’
“president?”
Midas, who finally came to his senses, called out to the boss, but the chat window had already disappeared.
“ah.
And the expression disappeared from Midas’s face.
“haha!
Eventually, Midas laughed as if he had come to his senses.
In that state, Midas looked at Lucky and said.
“Even the boss is playing pranks like this. Lucky, the boss must have been playing a joke. yes?”
king!
“Okay Lucky. Asking for a magic recovery item, but giving him the wand of an unknown great mage is a joke to anyone.”
After saying that, Midas’ expression hardened again.
“But if it’s not a joke… … .
The greater the receiving, the greater the giving.
‘Damn, how much performance do I have to show?’
However, Midas could not get a sense of how good the performance was for the wand of an unknown great mage.
‘Do I really have to break the Abyss Guild record?’
What immediately comes to mind is the new record of the Abyss Guild.
‘But they said it was a 10-person party! That’s the best 10-person party!’
However, Midas was not confident in breaking that record no matter how hard he tried.
No, I didn’t know if I could break it if I continued to challenge myself, if I got good at it, and if I got lucky.
‘How can I break that with one challenge?’
However, it was honestly impossible to break that record in a single live broadcast.
the problem is next.
If the live broadcast fails in the new record challenge, how will the public react?
It was originally a record that couldn’t be broken, so should I say it’s okay?
Or should I say BJ Lucky is the best?
‘I’m worse than not taking on challenges.’
It is better not to take on the challenge itself.
‘If I challenge with my name on it, I have to lose unconditionally.’
That was the moment.
‘wait for a sec.’
Thinking of something, Midas looked at Lucky and Gold, who were looking at him with worried expressions.
‘Then it’s okay if I don’t use my name?’
