Chapter 255. < Episode 82. Lucky vs Gold (3). >

– BJ Grand Mage runs again!
– You hunted for over 3 hours and 30 minutes, and again?
Long battle over 3 hours.
– This time it’s a speed battle!
b Speed battle?
ㄴ Taking out the Blaze Golem and wiping out the monsters!
After that, everyone did not hide their surprise at the appearance of BJ Grand Mage, who connected to the game again and started a speed battle.
– What kind of stamina is that?
– Is it possible to play like that?
It was astonishing what BJ Grand Mage showed.
It’s something that even those who are evaluated as talented people can’t do it without doing it.
‘shit.’
In other words, from Midas’ point of view, it was hard and he was about to die.
‘It’s definitely a limit. I’ve reached the limit.’
What’s even more troubling is that you can’t feel that limit when you’re connected to the game.
In real life, if your physical ability declines, your body becomes heavy or your breathing becomes rapid, but in the game, there were no symptoms.
The moment you exceed a certain threshold, you will be forced to log out.
Even more so, the condition for Lucky’s evolution this time is to kill 4444 monsters without stopping.
‘Oh, it’s been a while… … .’
If he logged out at this moment, he would have to start hunting 4444 monsters again from the beginning.
‘Let’s not get even the slightest stress.’
Remembering the number of those disastrous cases, Midas gathered himself and focused on the battlefield once again.
‘I’m going indifferently.’
The scenery of the battlefield unfolding in front of Midas’ eyes was too intense to look at indifferently.
woo woo!
First of all, the presence of the enemy Stone Buffalo herd was different.
Doo doo!
With their rugged bodies made of stone and sharp horns like knives, the 200 or so stone buffaloes made a sound as if the ground would explode whenever they moved as one body.
K-King!
“For the Master!”
“for!”
What was even more surprising was that the presence of the three Lucky, Gold, and Silver sets was not inferior to that of the Stone Buffalo, but rather stronger.
The three wild beasts in their gigantic state did not push against the reckless group of stone buffalo, but rather pushed them.
And that wasn’t all.
thud! thud! thud! thud!
The four Blaze Golems that appeared also made the Stone Buffaloes take a step backwards while working in sync with Lucky Gold Silver.
And that wasn’t all.
shhh!
In the midst of such a battle of giants, the low-level fire elemental warriors also played a steady role.
A low-level spirit warrior holding Patu’s spear pierced the body of a stone buffalo passing by in the flames left by the blaze golem, and a low-level spirit warrior holding Fatu’s bow constantly drew the bowstring in all directions on the shoulder of the blaze golem.
[The stone buffalo falls into a bleeding state.]
[The stone buffalo falls into a poisoned state.]
And the remaining one moved across the battlefield holding Patu’s dagger instead of Gold.
[The Stone Buffalo is cursed by Patu.]
In the face of the spirit warriors’ efforts to weaken the Stone Buffalo using the weapons in their hands, the tide of battle turned in favor of Midas.
‘and.’
Midas, who saw it, also vomited admiration, forgetting his earlier promise to become calm.
It was not admiration for the sight in front of them.
‘To think it could be stronger than this.’
Admiration for the fact that he will be able to show more than this performance.
In admiration, Midas threw the fireball in his hand toward the battlefield without hesitation.
Perong!
The Stone Buffalo’s body was shattered as it was hit by the fireball, and fragments were scattered on the floor.
Perong!
Even after that, each of Midas’ attacks turned Stone Buffalo’s body into stone.
Midas marveled at the sight again.
‘Me too.’
If the damage is so powerful even without Arvia’s staff, what will happen if you hold Arvia’s staff in your hand?
A sight that makes you smile just by imagining it.
[The Stone Buffalo has been defeated.]
[The title of Rock Destroyer has been achieved.]
[The level has risen.]
Such a glad notification was heard from Midas.
“Fireball and Chain Lightning!”
However, despite that gleeful notice, Midas still focused on the battlefield.
I was happy, but it wasn’t the notification I was waiting for.
The announcement Midas had been waiting for came when the number of Stone Buffalo herds had now dwindled to single digits.
[The divine throne’s power boils up in Lucky’s body.]
[Lucky’s body changes.]
[Your divine beast, Lucky, gains new power from the divine seat.]
Only then did the notification announcing the end of the battle that they couldn’t rest. Midas shouted at the notification.
“Guys, let’s finish!”
Shortly after that cry came out, the battlefield was organized.
“Gather! Let’s finish!”
And the moment the battlefield was cleared, Midas finally announced the end of the battle.
Only then did Lucky, Gold, Silver, and Blaze Golem, who had been waiting for orders from the battlefield, gather around Midas.
Panting!
“Master, it was a great battle. It gives me goosebumps.”
Midas looked at Lucky and Gold in front of those gathered.
‘It’s time to decide.’
Now, which of the two, Lucky or Gold, should be chosen as the main character who plays an active role in the forefront of the main stage of the battlefield?
king!
In front of Midas, Lucky, who had a bigger body, approached and fell flat on his face.
[Choose Lucky’s new ability yourself.]
Then, along with an audible notification, 10 cards appeared in front of Midas’ eyes.
Each such card emitted light.
‘Oh my God, five Legendaries?’
Midas, who confirmed that half of them were golden, looked at Lucky with a bewildered expression.
“As expected, lucky lucky.”
king?
Midas scratched his head as he stood in front of Lucky, who tilted his head at his master’s words.
‘Ah, I’ll have to think about this again.’
It was obviously a great job, but in the end, there was only one to choose from.
Of course, it was a difficult choice for Midas.
‘What should I choose… … .’
In front of that choice, Midas began to check the contents of each Legendary grade skill.
‘uh?’
Fortunately, the trouble didn’t last long.
[Unchained]
– Skill Grade: Legendary
– Skill Effect: Becomes in a state that cannot be restrained by anything.
Unchained.
‘Oh my God, isn’t this a ghost painting?’
A so-called ghosting skill.
It was a skill that literally put the body into a ghost-like state without physical interference.
A prime example was Ghost.
Ghost ran towards the enemy, ignoring even the stone tree!
‘It’s the pinnacle of the assault.’
Naturally, it was no exaggeration to say that this skill was the strongest skill for melee dealers.
Because you can approach the target without any obstruction.
Because of this, the moment Midas saw it, the other four Legendary skills were no longer visible.
I was just imagining it.
‘If Lucky has this… … wow.’
The scene of a one-sided massacre without enemy intervention in Unchain mode, which has been upgraded with exclusive items.
At the same time, I remembered the image of Gold riding on Silver and roaming the battlefield by force.
‘hmm.’
They are so overwhelming that no one dares to say who is better.
Forcing one of those two who could show that side of it to be a supporting role was, frankly, nonsensical.
In other words, the answer was already decided.
‘…. I’ll have to support them.’
The main stage is left to the two and the supporting role to help them is played by the BJ great mage.
‘Ah, it’ll be a BJ extra for the time being.’
Midas, who had finished sharing roles like that, now took all the smile off his face.
‘Then I’ll have to go.’
Now all that was left was to make an irreversible investment.

“Your wand is not finished yet.”
At the words of NPC Toss, Midas shook his head and said.
“I came to make weapons for my colleagues, not my staff.”
At those words, NPC Toss said with a smile, narrowing his eyes on his hairless face.
“Since I have already told you what is necessary…. So, have you prepared the ingredients?”
“yes.
Instead of answering, Midas immediately took out three helmets, three armors, and three boots from his inventory.
“Oh, they are made of biotite.”
The identity of the armor that was taken out was none other than a black meteorite set, a legendary grade item made in the Meteorite City.
“Black meteorite is the hardest of all meteorites.”
The special feature of the black meteorite set is its defense!
First of all, defense and stamina stats were very high.
In addition, each part had major options related to defense.
First of all, the black meteorite helmet had a skill option called ‘The Joy of Pain’ that increased defense by a percentage of the reduced physical strength.
And the thing attached to the black meteorite armor is the ‘Survival Instinct’ skill that speeds up the recovery of physical strength as much as the reduced physical strength.
Lastly, the black meteorite shoes were equipped with the ‘Everyone’ skill, which increased defense by the number of monsters that turned off aggro.
‘Tank set.’
It was truly a set for tankers.
‘It’s not just a tank, it’s a setting that only the best tankers in each party wear.’
Furthermore, it was not just a tanker to protect the dealers and healers, but a set of items worn by so-called main tanks who buy time and attack opportunities from the most monsters on the front line.
Of course, the price was exorbitant.
It can be said that the price of one item exceeds 100 million won.
‘House price.’
I prepared 3 sets of such things, so it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a house price.
“Who is it for?”
“It’s for the gold hyena over there.”
In addition, this black meteorite set was, of course, an item for silver.
“The material cost is 30,000 gold.”
NPC Toss, who confirmed the item that Midas took out and put on the floor, demanded a reward.
At that request, Midas took out a new item from his inventory instead of paying for it.
The first thing I took out was the armor.
Unlike the previous black armor with holes, what was taken out this time was bloody ruby-like armor.
Oh, he’s made of hemometeorite. That, too, is infused with Alivia’s skill.”
Alivia’s haemite armor.
The key option is the ‘kill point’ skill that increases stats by up to 33% by the number of monsters defeated! It was the most attractive item for dealers.
“Alivia is a lazy guy, so it must be hard to find.”
‘That’s why I paid for it.’
Of course, the price was too high.
After that armor, what Midas took out were boots that glowed silver.
“These are Gengi’s boots.”
Unlike previous meteorite-type items, it was an item that could be obtained through a quest in Meteorite City.
The effect increases movement speed and jumping power by 43% when equipped!
It was the hottest item for melee dealers who are confident in their fighting skills and who are good at going crazy.
And the last thing he took out was the helmet.
A golden helmet with an eagle’s eye in the middle.
“It’s an eagle’s eye.”
Eagle Eye Helmet.
The effect, as the name suggests, was able to use the Eagle Eye skill.
In fact, this item was not a popular item.
That would also be the case, since dealers with some financial power were acquiring the same skills as Eagle Eye.
In fact, the market price itself was the cheapest among the items here now.
‘Ah, in the end, the eyes were right.’
The problem is that one of them was bought at a price more than twice the normal market price.
It wasn’t strange.
Items that are actively traded are hard to play around with the market price, but items that are traded are not so good! Because there were often cases where it was posted at ridiculous prices.
Not to mention, eagle’s eye helmets were not popular, so when Midas searched for them, only 6 were available.
‘shit.’
In other words, I had no choice but to cry and eat mustard.
Anyway, after preparing the mode, Midas reached into the inventory and took out a heavy leather pouch from inside.
The number 90000 was written on the pocket he took out.
“Here it is.”
Midas put the pouch on top of the item on the floor.
‘It’s all my property.’
The moment when virtually all of Midas’ assets are now laid on the floor.
“Okay, let’s get to work right away. time is…. Come back in 12 hours. I’ll make it like your wand.”
And the moment NPC Toss nodded, accepting it, Midas bit his lip.
At this moment, all of his possessions in front of him will now become irreversible items.
Of course, Midas had no regrets here.
Because no one else made the decision but himself, Midas made up his mind instead of regretting it.
‘I’ll pull out the mulberry somehow.’
I will not overshadow this investment.
8.
Issue making in God Wars was important in many ways.
Depending on whether or not there was issue making, there were cases where the number of viewers differed by multiples.
I had no choice but to be sensitive to the timing.
Just as there is no point in lighting a fire when a storm is raging, everyone waited for the storm to pass when there was a big issue.
– What is the goal of BJ Grand Mage?
– It must be because they are preparing for a huge event to suddenly verify their long-term combat skills, right?
– You said you made a huge investment? What does that have to do with it?
– Since you said you joined hands with Azmo, it must be related to him.
– Anything seems great!
It was the same in front of BJ Archmage, one of the powerful storms of God Wars now.
– Other than that, it’s quiet.
– Be quiet. If I did, I’d be buried right away.
Everyone waited for the storm called BJ Grand Mage to pass.
– uh? The midfield guild reported breaking news.
b What breaking news?
ㄴ I heard you teamed up with the Orochi Guild?
What about the Orochi Guild? Wait, so you’re saying that the midfield guild teamed up with Inazuma?
In the meantime, news of the union between the Jungwon Guild and the Orochi Guild was heard.
It’s like setting a fire before the storm even subsides.
That’s why many people were able to notice the intentions of the midfield guild.
– Wait, at this point, they’re holding hands?
– Just looking at it, it looks like you joined hands aiming to become a BJ great mage.
The Jungwon Guild wants revenge on the BJ Grand Mage once again!
– also? The midfield guild was developed the other day, right?
b that’s right I need to figure out the subject.
Of course, some said there was no reason to challenge the midfield guild.
A few days ago, when I was already a Black Gold Hyena, I was trampled mercilessly by BJ Grand Mage.
However, it was literally only a part of it.
– So you reinforced your power?
– If you were holding hands with Inazuma, the story would be different. The greatest star player Japan has ever produced!
– Now it looks like they are really fighting each other properly, but if this is enough, BJ Archmage will accept the fight?
– Yes, and it sounds like fun, right?
Aside from all other reasons, most of them were curious about what the results would be if the midfield guild and BJ Daemage teamed up with Inazuma.
Actually, that was enough.
Because there was no need for a justification beyond what the audience wanted.
“It comes out like this.”
“The midfield guild is really no joke.”
“Can’t you avoid this?”
“Are you going to fight with the midfielder guild after all?”
Rising Star Channel staff also thought there was no way to avoid this matchup the moment they heard the news.
Of course, one person had a different opinion.
‘I held hands with Inazuma… … .’
Park Young-jun thought.
‘In the end, the midfield guild was caught in the trap of the BJ Archmage.’
That all of this is the goal of the BJ Archmage.
‘Well, even I can’t help but think that way when I see BJ Grand Mage verifying his long-term combat abilities.’
Verification of BJ Grand Mage’s long-term battle ability What it meant was verification of solo play ability.
Of course, those who saw that would question why they checked their long-term warfare abilities here.
Such a question would naturally lead to speculation that BJ Grand Mage, who seems to have worked with Azmo, would insist on solo play, and that the two would not have such a close relationship.
Then what should be done to break down these BJ great mages?
‘If we put BJ Archmage into a corner here, we have no choice but to get Azmo’s help. When the two become a real team like that, they are isolated from the world.’
The best way Park Young-joon thought was to drive BJ Grand Mage into a corner and create a situation where he had no choice but to join hands with Azmo.
In doing so, it was to make it an out-of-the-box existence.
As soon as Azmo and BJ Archmage really had a relationship that no one could see as one team, it was clear that all the powerful people in God Wars, including the 10th guild, would be wary of the two.
That also meant that the two of them would be kicked out of the inner circle created by the powers of God Wars.
‘So this time, I added the Orochi Guild to the midfield guild to destroy the BJ Archmage.’
Anyway, in order to drive BJ Archmage into a corner, the key was to create an atmosphere where he could fight first, and the midfield guild joined hands with the Orochi Guild and a powerful hand called Inazuma in that way.
Clearly, by today’s standards, they deserved to be challengers.
I don’t know who will win if the people of the world already fight, because I have such expectations.
‘Though the calculation will change if Lucky and Gold/Silver with items set appear in such a situation.’
But what if BJ Grand Mage pulls out a new card?
What if you see a stronger figure?
Calculation is a new thing to do.
The problem was that there was no turning back what had already been done.
‘Retreat or recruit additional forces.’
In that situation, the midfield guild had one of two options.
Either they just end the challenge or they themselves increase their power once more.
‘I’ll recruit additional forces.’
Of course, taking out the sword and putting it back into the sheath was absolutely impossible due to the nature of the midfield guild.
Then in the end, I had no choice but to do something extra to fight.
By that time, the gaze of those in power had to change.
‘Then naturally, the gaze toward the midfield guild will inevitably change.’
It is something to check that BJ Grand Mage and Azmo become one body, but it is also something to be wary of gradually inflating the body, including the midfield guild and Orochi guild.
If it were revealed on the surface that there was even an Abyss Guild behind it, the Abyss Guild could become a public enemy.
So it was a trap.
A midfield guild where BJ great mages can catch their own ankles. A trap to catch their ankles in reverse.
Because of this, Park Young-joon did not worry too much about this situation.
‘Suddenly, I’m going to take out the hand prepared by BJ Grand Mage. A broadcast using Lucky and Gold Silver.’
Just waiting for the BJ Grand Mage who planned all of this to pull out the last card.
“I got a call from BJ Grand Mage. It’s about the next live broadcast.”
And what Park Young-joon had been waiting for came.
“okay? What is the subject?”
“Lucky vs. Gold.”
“Lucky vs. Gold?”
“that is…. Looking at the contents, it looks like the two will fight.”
“A fight?”
The moment he heard that, Park Young-joon laughed.
‘It’s really amazing in many ways.’
I thought I would use Lucky and Gold Silver, but could you imagine preparing it this way?
At that moment, a picture was drawn in Park Young-joon’s head.
Park Young-jun, who drew the picture, asked a question to his subordinate.
“What do you think?”
“I think it will be awesome. BJ Lucky Fans and BJ Gold Fans have 2.23 times higher sponsorship income than BJ Great Mage Fans.
“No, who do you think will win?”
“Yeah…. hmm…. .
At the question, the subordinate tilted his head and soon began to think seriously.
Park Young-joon, who had a subordinate in front of him who was worried like that, quickly typed and sent an email.
A subordinate who saw it said.
“What have you been doing?”
“I submitted a proposal to Blue Bull and Gamma Pharmaceuticals.”
“A proposal?”
“Who are you going to bet on Lucky vs. Gold?”
“yes? A bet?”
“huh. I play the ad for the side that won the bet.”
“yes? Oh no wait! Boss! Then what happens to the losing side?”
In front of a subordinate who was surprised and asked back, Park Yeong-joon smiled more brightly than ever before and said.
“How does it fly?”
