Chapter 167. < Episode 53. Bus driver (2). >
5.
The surest way to become popular in God Wars was to enlist the help of already popular players.
It was called riding the bus.
It was the surest way, and that’s why it was the most used way.
– BJ Daemage and the Undead Guild attack the dungeon!
So, when the news broke, those who heard the news did not doubt it.
– BJ Grand Mage is also taking the bus now.
– I thought I would do it all by myself, but in the end I joined hands with the Undead Guild.
BJ Daemage made the choice to travel comfortably by taking a bus called the Undead Guild.
– What bullshit is the Undead Guild riding the BJ Great Mage bus!
– The Undead Guild commissioned the BJ Archmage for the dungeon they failed to capture!
– Bus fares are blank checks! whatever you want!
Therefore, the surprise the world felt when the accurate news was announced was indescribable.
It was such a huge event.
“Everyone heard the story of BJ the Great Mage, right? After I figured it out, even rappo failed and it was a game over dungeon. The difficulty level is no joke! Even the video of the failed attack is terrifying to watch! Attack difficulty is SSS level!”
For those who are interested in God Wars, it is an event that starts a conversation with a story about it.
“Hey, where is the SSS class dungeon in God Wars?”
“That is what it means. Honestly, are all S-class dungeons the same? There’s more. Isn’t that right, Hyunwoo hyung?”
It was a bitter story from Jung Hyun-woo’s point of view.
“Your head hurts right now, so can you talk about that without me?”
‘Going crazy.’
A story so bittersweet that it will blow your mind.
‘The expectations are too high.’
First of all, as I said before, this situation itself was a very unusual situation.
Isn’t it a situation where the 10th guild, and no one else, asked one of the players to drive the bus?
‘Pick up 10 guild customers and drive a bus… … Attacking a dungeon where even Rappo would have failed?’
Rumors were circulating that Rappo, the guild master of the 10th guild, had failed.
‘It’s even the main scenario quest stage?’
Among them, what gave Jeong Hyeon-woo the most trouble was that the dungeon was a main scenario quest dungeon.
Even after a good strategy, you never know what will happen.
‘Suddenly Leitling might jump out and kill them all. Wasn’t it like that when you captured Biltgar? Suddenly, the power of a nameless god exploded, putting everyone in danger.’
In fact, the main scenario quest had settings that would kill the person who wasn’t the quest leader.
What if the Undead Guild gets caught up in such a setting?
At that time, did this really happen because of the main scenario quest? Is it okay to make excuses?
It’s strange if the bone doesn’t hurt.
‘Let’s stop worrying. There’s only one thing to do right now anyway.’
In this situation, Jung Hyeon-woo had only one option to choose.
‘No matter what happens in the future, the only way to respond is to level up.’
spec up.
Because it was the only weapon that could be trusted and used in any situation.
‘Then I’ll have to go to the frozen forest now.’
Fortunately, there were no major concerns in that area.
‘I’m going to suck some honey after a long time.’
6.
The moment the players climbed to the top of the red mountain, there were two great views.
A plain so vast that it is hard to believe that it is the top of a mountain.
And beyond the northern part of that plain, a vast, pure white world could be seen.
That pure white world was the frozen forest that players who had graduated from Red Mountain faced.
“The characteristics of the frozen forest are simple. It’s cold and there’s a blizzard.”
Such a frozen forest was the cold world that God Wars players first encountered.
In other words, it was where players experienced for the first time how terrifying it was to be snowed and cold.
“Remember. It is as difficult as a swamp.”
The most troublesome thing about these frozen forests was the incessant snow and accumulated snow.
It was not easy to demonstrate proper mobility on this stage, which was buried up to the knees.
Its characteristics were similar to those of a swamp.
“It’s better than a swamp if you simply compare it.”
Of course, the character itself was less than a swamp.
“However, it is very difficult to identify the snow monsters that appear here with the naked eye. It’s on a different level from dealing with Lizardmen in the swamp.”
The problem is that snow monsters are literally made of snow and it’s very difficult to tell them apart in this white world.
“There is also a frostbite penalty here.”
Crucially, there was a frostbite penalty in frozen forests.
The penalty was surprisingly strong.
“At worst, your stats will be reduced by 50%.”
The range of movement speed and reduction in stats over time was beyond imagination.
“We don’t even feel pain. You need to properly check in real time whether your stats are reduced by the frostbite penalty.”
And the player couldn’t detect that fact.
It’s not easy to fight monsters, it’s impossible to move quickly, and you have to check their status in real time.
There was a lot to do in many ways, and for that reason, the blizzard wall that blocked the frozen forest was usually passed by a party of more than 20 people.
Such a party of 20 people was also not an impromptu party, but a case of sharing the joys and sorrows of the Red Mountain.
Of course, there was also a case of welcoming the frozen forest.
“In many ways, it must be a place where flame mages live.”
“At least here, those who bring out fire wizards or fire spirits are treated as nobles.”
Those who can use fire-attribute attacks were treated very well here.
If there is even a Blaze Golem, it is a place where you are treated like a king.”
Among them, if you have the Blaze Golem, which is the king of the end game, the treatment goes beyond common sense.
At this point, I couldn’t help but wonder.
Then, how will those who have two blaze golems, Shinsoo, Guardian, Bird, and Familiars overflow with money get treated?
How will the BJ great mage be treated here?
In that case, you will not be treated.”
huh?
What do you expect to be treated for?”
Of course, the BJ Grand Mage was never treated.
“You can go alone. look over there You just wipe it away.”
In the first place, there was no need for a person who could go through this rough place alone to make friends.
To that extent, the scene created by the great mage BJ was overwhelming.
And it was bound to be overwhelming.
[The blaze golem spews out fire.]
First of all, the blaze golem was very active.
The scenery I saw was different.
Fire!
Its body, constantly burning, made its way through the snow-covered land and turned the raging blizzard into rain.
Krrr!
Also, the heat emitted by the Blaze Golem reduced the HP of the snow monsters who were holding their breath in the snow.
In other words, the heat alone is already judged as an attack.
[The snow monsters rush towards the blaze golem.]
The naturally attacked snow monsters rushed madly at the blaze golem.
It was never a good choice for the snow monsters.
Eagle Eagle!
Just colliding with the Blaze Golem is a fatal blow to the Snow Monsters.
[The Blaze Golem spews out fire.]
Furthermore, the Blaze Golem’s attack power was so powerful that even monsters resistant to flame attacks were far away.
It was practically a fire moth.
A fire moth that chases after fire and eventually melts itself into the fire.
It wasn’t even just blaze golems.
Lucky and Gold gave nightmares to the snow monsters gathering around the Blaze Golem.
king!
In the case of Lucky, it was as usual.
K-King!
All I had to do was run across the snowy field with Gareum’s shadow alter ego, biting and crushing the bodies of the snow monsters that were attacking the Blaze Golem.
In particular, the combat power shown at the moment the lightning petrification state was activated made the stage that was said to take away the mobility of the snow field overshadowed.
Even if there was a crisis like being surrounded, it wouldn’t be a problem.
coo-ooh!
Jackpot was flying unstoppably in this blizzard, flashing hawk’s eyes.
Gold, on the other hand, was different.
Gold showed a different fighting style than usual.
Whoa!
Snow Monster Gold approached the monster silently and cut off the backskin of the snow monster wolf’s body at once with the dagger in his hand.
Krrr?
The snow monster was so stealthy that it only realized it after being attacked.
“How dare you show your teeth to the master.”
It was thanks to the elf’s robe and elf’s boots.
After using Blink to move to the back of a group of snow monsters at once, I was able to approach them silently using the effect of the elf’s boot effect that does not leave footprints.
Among them, the highlight was the elf’s boots.
The elf’s boots made even a snowy field like this feel like walking on solid ground.
“Apologize to the owner by dying.”
Gold became an assassin, not a guardian, and cleaned the battlefield.
It was none other than Midas himself who performed the most overwhelming activity among them.
There was nothing flashy.
“Fireball and Fire Spear and Fire Arrow familiar Inferno.”
Rather, the number of magics used is limited to the flame series, so it is impossible to unfold the splendor of various magics.
It wasn’t even flashy to throw.
Just put the casted magic one by one perfectly into the target’s golden target.
So it was overwhelming.
“BJ Grand Mage is no joke.”
“In this mess, I’m inserting magic one by one perfectly without shaking.”
It’s more terrifying to shoot like it’s not a big deal than the one who fires a gun in a splendid way.
“Is this really not even a job for the BJ Archmage?”
“This is why the world is unfair. Don’t all the talented guys do it?”
From the viewer’s point of view, it was nothing but a laugh.
Of course, the secret wasn’t what the viewer thought.
‘Kya! I remember the old days. I’ve really touched some money here before.’
That this was one of the few heyday stages that existed for Midas.
It was literally.
‘It was really good then. Because we were trying to take each other.’
Midas, who was a fire magician before raising his current character, was treated more highly than ever in the frozen forest.
‘So I pulled out and ate all the way here.’
Because of this, he had raised the level to the limit in the frozen forest.
As such, he had more extensive knowledge and experience about the frozen forest than anyone else.
On top of that, Midas even has eyes that don’t care about blizzards.
So there was no need to rush.
‘I have to pull it out to the end this time.’
All you have to do is insert a straw and suck on what’s inside.
That’s how Midas crossed the frozen forest steadily and quickly with the Blaze Golem at the fore.
made a way
Players watching the process shed a laugh.
“Someone is going to a party of 20 people clenched and nervous, but the BJ master mage just ignores everything and goes.”
“A monster is a monster.”
Laughter at this absurd sight.
And thought some of those who laughed so hard.
“But now that I’ve thought about it, can’t we just follow the road that BJ Grand Mage made over there?”
“Yeah, didn’t BJ the great mage pave all the roads?”
“Is that so?”
Wouldn’t it be comfortable to walk on the path created by BJ the great mage?
Those thoughts soon led to action.
“Hey BJ Grand Mage, get on the bus!”
7.
A black city that appears after crossing the frozen forest.
True to its name, the Black City, all the buildings in the city were made of black ice.
A city that can never be confused with anything else in a pure white world.
That city was the base city for the players who would use the frozen forest as their stage.
“Now, let’s get ready to hunt.”
“Check the members!”
In such a city, there were groups of players waiting for a party hunt.
In addition, the group was colorful and diverse.
“No, when is the healer coming?”
“This is why it becomes a headache when the number of heads increases. There are always people who break promises.”
“When 5 people gather, one person is definitely trash, but when 20 people gather, 4 out of 20 are bound to be trash.”
That would be the case, and the recommended minimum number of party members in the frozen forest was 15 or more, and usually a party of 20 or more.
As the number increased, the occupations of its members also diversified.
So they had to stand out.
“Isn’t that the Undead Guild over there?”
“It’s the Undead Guild.”
“Because the only party with a 1:1 ratio between healers and dealers is the Undead Guild.”
Undead Guild.
A party with a 1:1 ratio of dealers and healers was a rare combination in God Wars where healers were rare.
On the other hand, if possible, there was no better combination than this.
“I’d be able to play the game without worrying about game over if I had a 1v1 healer… ….
“I really envy you.”
There’s no better combination than this to avoid the game over, the scariest thing in God Wars.
That was the reason the Undead Guild got its name.
never die!
The members of the Undead Guild were more confident and proud of that fact than anyone else.
However, today was different.
“But why are everyone’s faces like that?”
“The expression on the face of the kids who are usually arrogant is the expression of chewing shit.”
The members of the Undead Guild, who were proud and arrogant, were stronger than ever.
The question of why did not last long.
“I have no choice but to chew shit. Looks like I’m going to take a bus now. Even to a player with a lower level than themselves.
Because the main characters of the hottest story right now were the members of the Undead Guild over there.
It was for that reason.
It was no exaggeration to say that if the Undead Guild was promising, he was already half a star player.
In addition, they were the ones who had already proven many times that they had extraordinary talents.
It would be rather strange for those kinds of people to accept being carried on someone’s back meekly.
At that time, news came through the Black City.
“BJ Grand Mage is on his way here!”
The moment he heard that, all the players in the Black City focused their attention.
‘What’s going to happen?’
‘Wouldn’t it be easy to fight against a teenage guild member just because he’s a BJ master mage?’
‘If I do well, I might get a PK match?’
The moment everyone imagines the future development.
But that imagination didn’t last long.
“He’s coming with 200 players on the bus!”
“What? What do you mean by that?”
“Two hundred players are on the BJ Grand Mage bus!”
Because BJ Grand Mage broke their imagination and appeared.
