◈ 272. [Free Exploration] Driving subquests
“So.”
After a brief mayhem.
Leave Lily over there and come to the corner with only Belldandy and God Hand. I asked.
“What are you two doing?”
It is said that the Holy Grail Exploration Team entered this dungeon 100 years ago.
Elves are a representative race of longevity. I wouldn’t be surprised if they knew each other before that.
However, Belldandy and God Hand only looked at each other and couldn’t answer easily. I frowned.
“what. Can we really be lovers?”
Lily’s eyes were glinting on the other side, as if she overheard the conversation on this side. The frightened God Hand waved his hands busily.
“Absolutely not like that!”
“Then what is it? Why can’t you talk?”
“That’s actually true, Lady Verdandy is from the fairy kingdom… … .”
God Hand tried to say something, but this time, Belldandy glared.
God Hand, frightened again, stuttered and turned around.
“Berdandi-nim said that… You have a high rank. I was once under his command.”
“Hmm?”
In fact, I know Belldandy’s ‘true identity’. Of course, it’s because I know the background of the SSR grade named character.
But if you want to hide it, you don’t have to scratch it. I turned the arrow to God Hand.
“Then, now that you have met your old boss, will you pay your loyalty to Verdandi instead of me?”
“No, absolutely not, Your Highness! The only master our Shadow Units are loyal to is Your Highness!”
God Hand, who shouted at me, almost fell to the floor. Seeing God Hand like that, Belldandy clicked his tongue.
“No matter how much you do, how can you do this… … .”
“no. Mr. Belldandy. this is so… … !”
God Hand was in tears. You get beaten up all over the place. Are you the main character of the drama?
I, who couldn’t see it, came out and cleaned it up.
“Anyway, the two of you have known each other for a while, but you’re saying they’re neither loyal nor lovers, right?”
“That’s right! You are correct, Your Highness!”
“okay. okay. I don’t understand.”
I gestured toward Lily over there.
“But will he forgive me?”
Gooooh-
I saw the image of a flame-type wizard emitting an obvious red aura.
I can feel the fierce anger as if I could turn the whole area into a sea of fire right now.
“Lies, liars, and elves are liars… .”
“Hee hee hee.”
An ugly moan escaped from God Hand’s mouth. You have surprisingly diverse characters… … .
Anyway, there is no reason to see anyone else besides me being the lead in a love triangle (square?) relationship. I finished the matter.
“Take God Hand Lily over there and talk the two of you. Let’s clear up any misunderstandings and share some accumulated stories.”
“With Lily-sama in that state right now… ?”
“Then run away? Originally, the fire should be caught when it is small. I don’t know? ‘Look at the hidden embers, look again at the extinguished embers’~”
After he picked up the motto to beware of fire that he had heard long ago, God Hand turned to bamboo and trudged toward Lily.
It’s so refreshing to see the guys who were just chatting about other people’s salting until just a few minutes ago are doing that. giggle
“Berdandi?”
“Your Highness.”
When I called, Belldandy responded swiftly. I smiled.
“I don’t care what your past is. We are cooperating with each other in this dungeon. yes?”
“That’s right.”
“but. God Hand and the elves under his command are now my subordinates.”
Suddenly God Hand changed the genre by myself and I’m playing.
In any case, all of the shadow troops are loyal subordinates who sacrifice their lives for me.
“Even if you are of the same race, it will be difficult if you try to take them. I can’t stand losing anything.”
It is one of the few elite sub-parties. Whether it’s school ties, regional ties, or blood ties, I won’t forgive you for stealing contracts.
Belldandi nodded with a pale face.
“… I will keep that in mind.”
I smiled.
“good! Shall we go out to rescue your precious comrades who are being held captive?”
***
Another purpose of visiting this place today before going to drill the road. I came to meet Coco, the NPC dedicated to teleporting.
Coco Granny was sitting in her workshop.
Kelly Bay was also the only NPC guarding the base camp now that he was away.
The massive witch stirred a large pot of unidentified ingredients bubbling, then widened her eyes as I approached.
“What are you doing today, young prince? Is there a door I can open?”
I sighed and said my business.
That I want to build a teleport gate in a place I want. that we can seek cooperation.
“Hmm, the construction of the teleport gate… .”
Coco stared at me with a heartless laugh. I nodded.
“Is it possible for Grandma Coco? You are a master of spatial magic.”
“Of course it is possible. It’s because I built the teleport gates throughout the Lake Kingdom here in the first place.”
Coco recalled the past with distant eyes.
“After the Lake Kingdom was covered in darkness, the two Nameless and I built safe bases in various places over hundreds of years.”
To be honest, I didn’t know much about Coco because I wasn’t interested. Come to think of it, this old woman is also a miserable person who is hundreds of years old.
An ordinary human being is absolutely not.
Seeing how they use real space magic like breathing, is it an ancient magician?
Or are they the inhabitants of the Lake Kingdom, who have been cursed with eternal life?
“Light a fire, build a teleport gate, and set up a barrier to keep the monster from entering… . It was a hard but rewarding day.”
“… .”
“I don’t know if all the penance was worth it.”
Coco stared blankly at the thick darkness outside the base camp, then turned her head back to me.
“Ok, fine. don’t help You might be worth helping.”
“why? Do you think I can drive away the darkness of this kingdom?”
When asked with a joke, Coco burst out laughing.
“Possible young people have seen plenty here in the dark! I’ve seen them all shatter and lose their light and go out. I am too worn out to bet on anything like hope.”
then?
Why do you think I’m worth helping?
“The reason I want to help you is because of your ‘talent’.”
“… Talent?”
“What are you not aware of?”
Talent? what talent? A talent as a hardcore gamer? A talent as a streamer? My viewers teased me about my great clowning talent.
“As a magician who handles space, there is only one talent in another field that I recognize.”
But the story Coco brought up was of a completely different kind.
“Time.”
“… ?”
I blankly closed my eyes.
hour? Time?
Do I have any talent for that?
All of a sudden, this is the sound of a ghost washing away… … ?
“What happened? Even if you don’t know it now, you will realize it later.”
Coco, waving her hands, grinned.
“Anyway, it’s good. If you get the materials, I’ll build a teleport gate where you want. but… .”
The old witch’s eyes were somehow mischievous. It was a look I knew very well.
“It won’t be easy to get those materials.”
That’s why, while looking at the newbie, the look of the oldbie saying, ‘You should try hard too’… … .
Tring!
A system window popped up in front of me. I quickly checked.
[Item Production Quest]
– Get the materials needed to make a teleport gate.
> SR or higher magic core (0/1)
> Dark Crystal (0/5)
> Demon’s Heart (0/3)
> … .
> … .
Dark crystals from high-ranking monsters in the depths of the dungeon are basic, and the devil’s heart drops only from the highest tier monsters, the Demon Legion.
It was full of magic materials that could only be obtained from the depths.
In particular, there were many ingredients from District 7. I laughed bitterly.
‘Anyway, I have to go into District 7 after all.’
Still, if you organize the quests overlapping and drive them to complete them, you’ll feel proud.
‘Rescue a kidnapped NPC. And the construction of a teleport gate.’
Let’s finish the two subquests at the same time!
He shook his hands and turned around. I could see the party members ready to enter the dungeon. I exclaimed cheerily.
“Okay, let’s go dig a road!”
***
I was worried that it would be pretty hard because the main party was missing.
Unexpectedly, it wasn’t like that at all.
puck! Fuck! Kudangtangtang!
First of all, the 5-member punishment unit in prison mode was breaking through the vanguard with ignorant breakthrough power.
These are currently in a state where the new trait is activated.
[Full Moon Wolf]
– Transforms into a Were Beast for 2 weeks before and after the full moon. Strength and stamina gradually increase. Intelligence and magic power gradually decrease. This effect is strongest on full moon days.
– Transforms into a human for 2 weeks before and after the day the old moon rises. Return to basic stats.
Attribute [Full Moon Wolf] that cannot be dispelled.
For two weeks before and after the full moon, he transforms into a beastman like he does now and receives bonuses to his strength and stamina.
However, this number is much higher than expected. More than anything, Quylan receives the effect incredibly well.
“Ha ha ha! Get lost, you monster bastards!”
Quylan shouted cheerfully and stretched his fist forward. Skeletons, the monsters of this season, were smashed in all directions by his fists.
Quylan was a melee dealer with terrible stats, with high strength and agility, but extremely low physical strength.
Because of his [glass body] trait, his stamina stat was so low no matter what he did, he would vomit blood even if he was hit just once.
However, the [Glass Body] attribute disappears for two weeks when [Full Moon Wolf] is activated.
Perhaps because the body changes to that of a beastman, it seems that the negativity of the existing body can be ignored. Honey!
Thus, the current Kuylan has become a complete martial artist who has taken all three virtues of an avant-garde character, strength, agility, and stamina, close to the maximum!
Even though it’s limited to 2 weeks a month, to treat you like this! In fact, I thought it was a bit, no, a lot of waste while investing in you!
Except for Quylan, all of the Punishment Units are of the Warrior and Rogue classes. It’s a melee character. Forms a potential line steadily.
And the rest of the members who came together
are Push Shoot! Push!
Patter-!
Originally, the Shadow Unit was the fireteam of the Monster Front!
Although he has lost two archers, the three-member combination of God Hand the metal wizard, the body bag the telekinesis master, and the burnout wide-area archer is unleashing overwhelming firepower.
A group of skeletons were swept away in an instant.
and.
Finally, an unintentionally included guest member.
Roaring-!
Lily raised a huge fireball and let out a bloody look.
“Super sharp kill… .”
Lily’s hands reached forward and threw the huge fireball at breakneck speed.
“Kill liars!”
Quagmire and light!
The fireball flew away, spewing out tremendous heat, causing a grand explosion.
Key-!
The dungeon boss Giant Skeleton Conqueror at the end of Area 6, where we were currently entering, was hit directly by the fireball and disappeared leaving only black ashes.
“… .”
Is this an R-rank wizard? Is this level 32? Is this a possible story?
As I watched with my mouth wide open, God Hand, who was standing next to me, began to tremble.
I put my hand on his shoulder and nodded quietly.
“The company love you chose… No, it’s an in-line relationship. Endure it with evil.”
“… yes. I want to.”
God Hand smiled with a trembling mouth.
“I’m tired of living a lie. Now I’m going to live honestly with others and myself.”
“… .”
“I will clear up Lily’s misunderstanding and convey my sincerity.”
Lily, who was gasping for breath because she was exhausted from performing the [Super Special Kill Liar (no such skill)], God Hand strode closer to Lily, who was breathing heavily.
Looking at the relationship between the two, which is not easily resolved, I sent my heartfelt support to God Hand.
‘I hope that later, when the couple fights, they will be hit by that fire ball and burned black.’
Seriously, kid!
