Episode 153
“Thanks to you, I lived. I thought this expedition would be over… But after living, all of these things happened haha.”
“Ah yes. It was nothing.”
Damian shook hands as he looked at the man who was shyly asking for a handshake. Behind him, the adventurers who appeared to be a party were sighing one by one.
People who had struggled until the armored lizards flocked to Damian, and perhaps they could have followed in the footsteps of the adventurers who died earlier.
And Damian soon found out that they were the mercenaries of the guild belonging to the branch of the Arno kingdom who applied for this expedition, and at the same time, it was not difficult to figure out that they were the only survivors who survived the 8th wave of monsters.
That’s also because the monster wave that had already filled the abandoned territory had long since disappeared, but no one else stood alone besides them.
“As you can see, those who survived are all. All the adventurers below the gold level died, and many people who could be strong enough left…” “
It’s good to be able to survive. I got the water right.”
When Damian turned his head, the man licked his lips bitterly. According to him, the Arno kingdom branch’s expeditionary force had disappeared without a trace.
The number of members of the expedition reached at least 4,500 even if each platinum adventurer counted hundreds of water scenes.
However, the monsters pouring out of the Forgotten Tower had enough power to destroy even hundreds of adventurers.
Starting from the 7th monster wave, after the front line was almost half-broken, it was virtually no different from being famous.
The armored lizards that appeared as the 8th monster wave were actually the final blow, not the final blow.
Although it was an indisputable fact that it was a disaster caused by the first Prince of the Seton family who was in charge of restoring the Forgotten Tower.
If it wasn’t for the Forgotten Tower, the expedition might have already cleaned up the monster wave and tried the twisted portal.
They were adventurers with sufficient strength.
Of course, the guild’s proud diamond-level adventurers didn’t participate, but that didn’t mean that a platinum-level license was a license worn by dogs or cows.
Even more considering that the current Platinum adventurers are rankers in the top 1% of the 100 days of open beta.
Considering the fact that among them, adventurers with heroic and legendary classes are also common.
It was Damian’s honest assessment that at least the warped portals except for the Southern Continent would be smiling and trying.
“I don’t know whether to say that it is fortunate among misfortunes or that there is no bottom to go down. My life was saved thanks to the help of my benefactor, but what can I do when most of my troops have already been lost…” “
What should I do? Just looking at it, it’s completely gone. When I saw it, there was no hope even if it didn’t hit the head. Monster waves poured in seven times, but they didn’t budge, you bastards.”
While the man was talking to Damian, the shaggy-haired man standing in the back replied, tugging his hair behind his head.
He was a slim Finnish Englishman.
If the man who shook hands has a stocky body and eyes like a hawk, the man with tangled hair is characterized by a relatively slender yet drooping eyes.
In addition, it was only natural that Damian’s eyes would narrow slightly, as the robe was a bachelor’s robe embroidered with gold patterns on a red background.
There must have been a reason for him to survive wearing a piece of cloth on the battlefield where he was worried that he would survive even if he wore full plate mail right away.
“That’s right, Mr. What can we do in this situation now? As long as that crazy bastard from the Seton family doesn’t get hit by lightning, I think it’s good for the health to get out of here. Unless you want to be as pictured on this card.”
“what? That bad card.”
“Don’t you know when you see a skull with a scythe? It sounds like you’re dying.”
When the messy hair asked again, frowning, the girl standing on the other side raised her index and middle fingers in a scolding tone.
The tarot card in the middle was a bonus.
Death. A card in which a skull-shaped grim reaper wearing a dull robe radiates red eyes.
However, Damian felt more interested in the fact that the short girl, who looked quite confident, was among the survivors than the picture on the tarot card with an eerie smile.
‘Come to think of it… these people…’
Except for the fact that they all look like dark beggars, their outfits and equipment seem far from the usual class.
In addition, it was not simply because of his misunderstanding that the familiar appearance of a girl wearing a leather cross-body bag, a girl wearing occult items all over her body, or a man carrying a huge bow behind her back was familiar.
“A little crazy, right? All of them have strong personalities.”
“No, this little kid is tired and keeps ticking. Ser Kim.”
“Are you done?! Now, who are you calling me a kid!!!”
“Is there anyone else besides you here? You elementary school kid.”
They were only fighting childish words, but as high-level adventurers with a higher level than themselves, never lower.
They were celebrities who were often talked about on various community sites, including AOL.
“I will formally introduce myself. This is level 85 Ranger Viole. This is Level 77 Alchemist Gematak, and this is Level 82 Arcana Yui-jing.”
“Aha yes. Nice to meet you.”
Nod!
When Ser Kim pointed out one by one and gave a full statement, Damian briefly bowed.
It seemed like he knew why their faces were familiar.
Viole, a pioneer of the Olhim Rangers and a walking siege weapon.
He opened the field of combat alchemist with a conversion technique that was not there before.
Yui-jing, who is said to be a rising divinity and immediately attracts attention as a hero class called Arcana.
Their faces, with an average level of 80, were seen by Damian on Otube, and sometimes on Switch live streaming.
It was a bonus that they all had unique skills and characteristics.
Moreover, it was an indisputable fact that their names and faces were well-known for being among the top 1 percent of platinum level adventurers.
“Are you sure, Damian? You uploaded a video of the Siege of Aldeon Fortress… I thought it was long, but I can see it up close.”
“aha? Is this man the nobleman? The number of views seems sweet these days.”
“What is that nobleman to the lifesaver?”
“Why what? It’s a sign of my own friendliness. Can you call me Yangban too?”
“…”
Damian scratched his sideburns as if embarrassed that Viole, who had a stocky body, recognized him.
I was able to vaguely guess that the relationship between them was quite close from the quarrel between Gematak and Yuijing.
The three of them were famous for their respective fame, but it was also well known that they had been playing games together ever since, starting from whispering island and graduating with the same jockey.
“Come to think of it, didn’t you get into a fight with this nobleman, an emperor blood knight? I think I saw that video the other day.”
“What you see is probably right. It’s been a fuss for a while. The blood in the top 50 was broken by a passing user, but it passed quietly without an expression of position.”
When he spoke with his eyes wide open, Yuijing replied with a pitiful look.
It was because they had also heard Damian’s name.
Brian and Wendy, major North American streamers, are men who claim to be fans, and at the same time have hundreds of thousands of subscribers and views without belonging to any clan or kingdom.
Damien’s channel, which had been uploading videos such as simple vlogs and tips after the Siege of Aldeon Fortress, became a hot potato once again due to a clash with Emperor Blood, which is ranked in the top 50 clan rankings.
It was a streamer who would suddenly show his face whenever he could forget it.
Of course, in the world of AC, where various issues are pouring out every day, there are not one or two streamers with star qualities like him.
They felt that Demian’s actions were far from ordinary in the eyes of them, who are said to be in their own way in their respective fields.
It was because there was an experience where I couldn’t help but admire the appearance of him not refusing to go through trouble with the emperor’s branch, which has grown rapidly recently.
“It’s a bit embarrassing to meet you like this, but… I’m Damian’s fan. If you don’t mind, may I ask for your autograph?”
“…what are you doing now? kid?”
So Damian saw Yui-jing holding out a piece of cloth toward him—no matter how he looked at it, it must have been her broken equipment—and he felt his hand move involuntarily.
Due to an incident he had experienced in reality not too long ago, Damian’s body had reached the point where the autograph went out.
“Let’s finish the fan meeting at this point. Why did our famous person come here?”
blah blah!
After Damian signed Yui-jing, he asked with a yawn.
It was also the car that Damian was curious about.
The expedition team that went to the brink of destruction due to the 7th monster wave and the Knights of Seyton was also an expedition team.
The armored lizard’s combat power, which appeared in the 8th monster wave, was truly formidable.
The moment I was just about to die by them, I could see them rushing to one place in a huge explosion of flame that swept the battlefield.
If, as Ser Kim said, it was the man in front of me who wiped out the Armored Lizard, I couldn’t help but be interested in him, no matter how annoying he was in the world.
It was because it was the unique personality of this unusual Alchemist user that once he started to pay attention, he terribly dug into it.
“It’s no different that we gathered all of you… It’s because Ser Kim here needs to gather opinions. I heard that the quest you received is to protect the monsters of the abandoned territory from escaping from the crescent moon cape. Is that right?”
“Yeah… you’re right, bro. Restoring the Forgotten Tower is second.”
When Damian asked, he replied scratching his sideburns. This expedition, which was organized by the Arno Kingdom branch, was the focus of the expedition, not occupation, as he said.
However, due to the fear of Darius van Maurechion, the king of the Arno kingdom, and the participation of Count Seyton, a secondary purpose was created, and that was the restoration of the Forgotten Tower.
With about 100 gold-class adventurers and Yuijing’s separate magic leaflet, in fact, I thought that restoring the Forgotten Tower was not such a difficult kind of request.
It was a naive idea, if naive.
Unlike the eastern continent where Terra is located, the twisted portal in the southern continent boasts a high level of difficulty, with the gap reaching dozens of levels.
Even if the adventurers had excellent firepower, blocking the monster wave and attacking the twisted portal were two different stories.
Moreover, as long as there was a crazy commander like Maliwood, it was obvious that the war situation would not go as intended.
It was the part where I could see why Colin had promised a reward of hundreds of millions of won.
For example, if the fundamental cause of the twisted dimensional door is not resolved, Colin’s request this time is actually an infinite defense game that ends only when one of the two dies.
“So…if you don’t mind, I’d like to offer you a suggestion, one that’s good for both you and me.”
“What if… a proposal?”
“It’s an obvious story. that.”
Poof!
Eventually, at Damian’s chin, the heads of the party, including Viole, turned to one place at once.
