Chapter 217. < Episode 70. More and More (1). >
1.
What was your favorite job in the early days of God Wars?
When asked this question, most people will think of classes such as the Legendary Class Great Mage, Great Blesser, Sword Emperor, and Dark Master.
Jobs that only a few can afford.
However, unexpectedly, when the God Wars service started, the most favored job by players was the unique class elementalist.
The reason was simple.
Elemental magicians do not have to directly participate in battle.
To be honest, even if you get the Legendary class, it was of no use if the player’s own ability was insufficient.
Control ability as well as financial power to pay for expensive skill cards.
In contrast, the elemental magician’s job was to entrust all the dealing and support rankings to the elemental spirit.
Of course, the spirits summoned by the spirit sorcerer were not that strong.
Right now, in the case of lower spirit warriors, their ranking ability or dealing ability was not that great.
Instead, each spirit had its own special ability.
For example, a water spirit could turn its body into ice or hide it in a puddle of water, depending on the situation.
The earth spirits were similar. It was possible to become hard as stone or to hide in a mound of dirt.
Naturally, the fire spirit could turn itself into flames or hide itself in the flames.
That was the reason.
The reason why the world freaked out when Azmo obtained the Spirit Warrior skill.
And the reason why Midas was so confident the moment he got his elemental warrior skill.
Fire!
‘As expected.’
On top of the stage tree, the flames created by the footprints of the mini gold that was activated by the fire step are soaring everywhere.
In the midst of the flames, the fire elemental warriors attacked the ringed monkeys with weapons in their hands.
‘There’s not much damage, but… … .’
As I said before, the damage was not significant.
Of course, the elemental warrior itself was weak, but Midas’ low-level spirit summoning and elemental warrior skill ranks were only F ranks.
‘It doesn’t matter.’
However, damage dealing was not necessary.
‘It’s enough for Gold to curse with Patu’s dagger and the two spirit warriors to attack with Patu’s spear and bow to activate the item effect.’
The effect of Patu’s spear is Bleeding.
The effect of Patu’s bow is Poisoning.
The lower level spirit warriors only had to apply the options of the two weapons to the monsters.
‘It couldn’t have been better if I summoned another one and even broke the armor… … .’
Here, if the armor breaking effect had been activated using the black claymore, the ridiculous hunting would have been possible, but Midas did not want that.
I didn’t even have to ask for it right away.
[The ringed monkey has been killed.]
‘You don’t need to use a knife to catch a dog to catch a dog.’
Even if it wasn’t for that, Midas was already overwhelming the group of over 150 subordinates of the chief ringed monkeys.
‘It’s a good opportunity.’
Of course, Midas did not just play in such a situation.
Kreu!
At this moment when his trusty allies dealt with the ringed monkey with the newly added elemental warriors, Midas was facing the chief ringed monkey.
It wasn’t just face to face.
“Fireball!”
[Casting is complete.]
The moment the shouting and casting were finished, Midas quickly threw the fireballs in his hand at the ring monkey.
Perong!
The fireball thrown in that way landed on the head of the ringed monkey.
Kreu!
In response to that attack, the ringed monkey uttered a scream-like sound and rushed toward Midas.
Anger filled the face of the ringed monkey who rushed at him like that.
It was an eerie sight that made even the average tanker nervous.
‘come.’
In front of the spectacle, Midas waited rather than ran away.
Whoo!
Eventually, when the ringed monkey swung his long arms toward Midas as if sweeping the ground, Midas moved sideways, dodged the attack, and threw the fireball he was holding in his hand.
Perong!
The fireball he threw hit the head of the chief ring monkey.
“Whoa!”
After that, Midas let out a short breath and looked at the chief ringed monkey again.
that was training.
‘I can’t just throw away the opportunity to gain experience fighting the middle boss.’
Training to gain experience against a ring monkey boss monster and a middle boss with intermediate strength between normal monsters.
‘From now on, battles with middle bosses will become a daily routine.’
Furthermore, it was also a training to survive in the soon-to-be pioneer land.
The number of monsters that players face in the land of pioneers is also a number, but there was always a middle boss level monster who led the group.
In that sense, the ring-necked monkey was a good training partner.
Moreover, thanks to the activities of Lucky and Gold Jackpot, it was also appreciated that an environment could be created in which a one-on-one battle with the ring monkey could be performed.
It’s foolish to just throw away such a golden opportunity just because it’s difficult and annoying.
That’s why Midas didn’t backtrack at this moment and waited for the attack pattern.
‘A gap will appear after the attack.’
If he had stepped back from there, the chief ringed monkey would have pursued Midas again and again.
Then there wouldn’t be a chance to attack as surely as now.
And this was also the way to deal with middle boss level monsters.
The middle boss level specs were not something that could be easily defeated or blocked.
Then the only answer left is to wait for a gap to come out after making it attack.
Of course, there is one prerequisite here.
Can you see, react, and dodge powerful attacks that are much faster than normal monsters?
The answer to that was already shown by Midas a moment ago.
‘It’s possible with my specifications now.’
can do!
Confident in that fact, Midas shouted with more confidence than ever before.
“Come here!”
That was the moment.
Quaang!
A heavy sound came from behind Midas’ back.
The sound the Blaze Golem made as his arm swung with all his might and knocked the ringed monkey away.
kid!
With that sound, the ringed monkey flew off and patted Midas on the back.
“omg!
Naturally, Midas staggered at the shock.
An accident that no one in the world could ever foresee!
It was the last chance Heaven gave to the ring-necked monkey, and the ring-necked monkey did not miss that chance.
Kreu!
Squeezing all his strength, he rushed toward Midas.
That was the moment. Suddenly
, Lucky
appeared and stuck his teeth into the top ringed monkey’s neck, then turned his body as if he were spinning an iron bar once.
one lap!
Kruri
and two laps!
As if performing a trick, Lucky did two laps and tightened his chin once more.
Fast!
Then I heard the sound of something other than flesh being crushed.
Curry!
With that sound, the ringed monkey let out a grotesque sound and fell to the floor.
[The chief ring monkey has been defeated.]
[The ring monkeys have become weak.]
[All the monsters on the stage tree have been eliminated.]
With the ensuing notification, Lucky stepped on the ring monkey and raised his head.
Whoa!
He let out a howl that signaled the end of the hunt.
A look full of dignity!
However, instead of shouting cheers, Midas said with a puzzled expression.
“Lucky, you have to say it right away. Didn’t I cut all the blood for that?”
king?
When a reprimand, not a compliment, came out, Lucky showed a surprised expression.
In the meantime, a small gold that had finished hunting came near Midas and said with arms folded.
“you’re right. I saw with my own eyes that bad dog interfering with your master’s great battle.”
king!
Lucky shook his head from side to side as if it was never like that.
Jackpot landed on Lucky’s head and flapped its wings lightly.
couw!
“Look! They claim to have seen this bad bird too!”
And at the words of the jackpot that Gold had been waiting for, he claimed Lucky’s fault toward Midas.
Seeing that, Midas turned his head and looked at the battlefield with a smile on his face.
It’s obvious, but it was a joke a while ago.
Midas never meant to blame Lucky.
‘It’s really fast.’
It’s just that the amazing result of killing the remaining ringed monkeys while dealing with the chief ringed monkey is amazing.
Midas, who was looking at the arranged stage, turned his head to Lucky and said,
“Lucky, it’s a joke.”
king!
“Yeah kidding. good job.”
king!
Midas laughed at Lucky’s appearance of being rejuvenated by his master’s praise.
Let’s do it five more times.”
2.
Here you go.
Greetings from NPC Huma, who has a terrifying and eerie appearance that you will never get used to.
yes.
Midas greeted the NPC with a more joyous expression than ever before.
I couldn’t help but be happy.
First of all, the situation where he figured out how much his power had risen through hunting right away.
‘Now, secure the necklace with this. What options will come out?’
Here, I was about to upgrade my specifications with a necklace.
‘Level 180 now only needs to be raised by one level.’
Also, through recent hunting, he had reached level 179.
‘There’s a high possibility of facing a boss monster in the Altar Quest, but… … .’
I don’t know what the difficulty of the next quest will be right now, but the situation is full of good news in many ways.
‘Let’s try something small. I must be a ringed monkey brother.’
I couldn’t help but be full of confidence.
I’ve gathered them all!”
After Midas expressed such confidence openly, he took out a quest item from his inventory and handed it to him.
After confirming that, the NPC Huma nodded and said.
“I’ll get to work right away.”
Along with the horse, the NPC Hma gave a light chin and headed towards her cabin.
A gesture to follow him. At that gesture, Midas also followed the NPC Huma into the hut.
The inside was nothing special.
The kind of cabin that ordinary people often imagine.
[You have entered Huma’s Shelter.]
[You have achieved the title of Huma’s Guest.]
At that moment, Midas confirmed the new title reward.
[Huma’s Guest]
– Title Explanation: This title is given to those who visit Huma’s shelter as a guest.
– Title Reward: Intelligence +20
‘Oh!’
While Midas was surprised by the title reward beyond his expectations, the NPC Huma lightly waved his hand, and the scenery changed everywhere.
‘uh?’
The ordinary hut suddenly began to expand infinitely, and soon a laboratory filled with all sorts of experimental tools appeared.
‘It’s amazing.’
The moment the magic is broken and the truth is revealed.
‘What is that?’
What caught my eye in such a revealed scene was a huge jar that could fit a person.
The pot itself was not a novelty.
The mysterious thing is that a 3-meter-tall giant made of fire holds the jar inside.
“The preparations were finished early. You should be able to get to work right away.”
With those words, the NPC Huma beckoned, and the fire giant put the jar he was holding in his arms in front of the NPC Huma.
Afterwards, when the NPC Hma put what Midas had brought into it, the fire giant embraced the pot again.
After a while, he picked up the pot the fire giant was holding and poured the jar into a small cup beside him.
smart!
Then, drop by drop, black liquid filled the inside of the cup.
A small amount that could be called tears.
NPC Huma handed the cup to Midas and said,
“Feed it on your collar. but be careful. The moment you eat this, your necklace will become very greedy.
At the warning, Midas nodded and undid his necklace.
There was no hesitation.
Without stopping to catch his breath, Midas dripped liquid onto the pendant of his necklace.
That was the moment.
Whiik!
The pendant in Midas’ hand swayed.
Considering Midas’ tremendous strength stats, his strength was astonishing!
‘It’s on the left.’
After confirming the direction of the force, the NPC Huma approached Midas and said.
“Now all that remains is to find him.”
[The quest has been completed.]
With those words, the NPC Huma took out a small book from her robe and handed it to Midas.
Master Skillbook for Legendary.
“It’s not easy. I hope this helps.”
[A new quest has been created in the main scenario quest.]
The quest was also paid along with the hidden reward.
[Altar]
– Quest Rank: Main scenario
– Quest Level: Below level 200
– Quest Content: Find the Altar.
– Quest Reward: None
! Upon completion of the quest, ‘Three Ringed Monkeys’ can proceed. The moment he saw it, Midas’ eyes narrowed.
‘Three brothers, not brothers?’
The boss monster of the Stage Tree Forest, the Ringed Monkey Brothers, was literally fighting two bosses at the same time.
It was, of course, a very tricky combination.
But do you have to deal with three more than that?
Just imagining it makes my face stiff.
‘…. driving me crazy.’
Midas kept his mouth shut at the difficulty of the quest, which made the confidence he had built up so far dwindle at once.
In that state, I saw something that would boost his confidence a little bit.
‘Let’s check the specifications of the necklace first.’
Checked out the new item.
[Necklace that eats curses]
– Grade: Legendary
– Wearable level: 170 or higher
– A necklace that contains the power of a cursed being. The power of a certain cursed being has become stronger and more greedy.
– All stats +150
– Attack power +20
– Movement speed +20%
– Attack speed +20%
– Casting speed +20%
– Health and magic regeneration speed +50%.
– Replay skill can be used when equipped
– One More skill can be used when equipped
– Bind when learned (Untradeable)
Midas’ eyes widened when he saw it.
‘Onemore?’
Onemore.
A passive skill that increases the number of summons that can be summoned by summoning magic.
‘wait?’
When that skill came to mind, the first thing that came to Midas’ mind was the spirit warrior.
Currently, the number of elemental warriors that Midas can summon is two!
Of course, if the One More effect is applied, there will be three!
‘To the spirit warrior… … Oh golem!’
After that, the golem immediately came to mind.
‘Oh my God, three golems? I’m not even level 200?’
At that moment, Midas’ expression brightened.
If you have three elemental warriors and three golems, you should be able to make a good estimate against the three ringed monkey brothers.
‘I can do it well. If I just buy time with tanking… … .’
Midas was delighted with that fact. A voice came into Midas’ ears.
“I’m looking forward to seeing how wonderful the master who has gained new powers will perform!”
gold.
The moment he heard that voice, Midas’ thoughts stopped.
