Episode 39
“Kreurreuk?!”
“Kong!! I’m sorry!!”
As dozens of new chicks appeared above the caliphate, the caliph wolves were taken aback.
It was completely unexpected.
Boasting clever brains and excellent intuition, Caliph Wolves boasted as keen senses as their agile nature.
The fact that they were able to surround Damian was also a position they took because they were convinced that there was nothing around them.
It was a pretty meticulous design.
If Damian formed a party with other adventurers, or if there were other monsters within a radius of several meters, the Caliph Wolf’s group would have immediately given up on Damian and withdrew.
But…
“Pia!!”
“Beep beep beep!!”
The new chicks protruding from all over the highlands of the Caliph Mountains suddenly formed a circular formation and surrounded the Caliph Wolf without leaking water.
Each of them was holding something like a straw to their mouth and aiming at the caliph wolves as if they were snipers.
[Boncoulet’s Poisoned Rooster]
Type: Shield (Avoidance)
Occupation: Witch Doctor
Rating: Rare
Options: Defense +50 Intelligence +30 MP Recovery +10 Newborn chick’s basic attack is converted to Lv.10 poison dart.
Description: A rooster totem raised by Boncoulet, a master of poisonous needles. It is said that he followed his master’s actions exactly.
In other words, what Mungchi and the new chicks were holding was not just a straw, but a wind gun similar to Damian’s.
“There should be an output equal to the amount of money spent.”
Fuck!
Damian smiled as he watched Moongchi and the new chicks aiming blow guns.
It was a hidden trick.
An item that boasts the most expensive unit price among the items that Damian created through < The Book of the Black Oath Calling the End > based on the goods obtained from Jeungsan Shinup.
At the time, Damian looked at the list of craftable items and thought that there was no better item for him at the moment.
This was the reason why he made the item without hesitation, regardless of the hundreds of thousands of materials and hundreds of thousands of gold.
And…
“Hey Mungchi.”
“Why is that, you bastard?”
“You… Do you want to try this?”
It was < Boncoulet > that made Damian smile while looking at Mungchi and the new chicks. It could be because of the rooster’s sting >.
It wasn’t until now that it showed its true face was all the same as Damian’s design.
“It’s okay for me to kill them myself, but… It’s a little bit like running around and catching them. If you catch a few, they might run away.”
“That’s right, master!”
Beep beep beep!
Eventually, the moment Damian nodded at the group’s agreement and looked back at the Caliph Wolf group with arrogant eyes…
“Bang.”
Fuck!
Soon, Damian snapped his fingers and at the same time, the mungchi and the new chicks started shooting blowguns at the Caliph Wolf group.
“beep!!!! ah!!!!”
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-doo-doo-doo-!!!
It was a terrifying rate of fire that would make the air in the highlands of the Caliphate Mountain densely packed in an instant.
“Kagagagaegaeng!!!”
“Kaeng!!”
The caliph wolves screamed as the swarms and chicks poured poisonous needles.
It was helpless.
The number of new chicks Damian summoned was close to double the number of caliph wolves, and even the caliph wolves couldn’t stand the poisonous sting of such new chicks!
Even more so, even if they were armed with clever brains and excellent mobility, they couldn’t penetrate the poison needles that densely covered the sky.
[Notice: Caliph Wolf has been < poisoned >!]
[Notice: Caliph Wolf has been < poisoned >!]
….
[Notice: Caliph Wolf has been < poisoned >!
] It didn’t have the same great synergy effect as < Feast of Fire >, but it was like being able to shoot poisonous needles up to 10 levels thanks to the option of < Boncoulet's Rooster with Poisoned Sting >.
[Notice: Caliph Wolf has been killed!]
[Notification: Caliph Wolf has been killed!]
….
[Notification: Caliph Wolf has been killed!] As
the new chicks shoot their poison needles, system messages pop up.
It was DPS (Damage per second) that was more than enough to make up for Damien’s lack of dealing.
As Damien mentioned before, < Boncoulet's Poisoned Rooster > is a cheat item worth millions of gold.
So, it was only natural for Damian to laugh at the system messages that filled his eyes.
“and. Crazy.”
If it was more than expected, it was more powerful than expected.
The poison needles fired by the bunch and the new chicks boasted terrifying speed, reminiscent of a machine gun, and Damian was able to enjoy the sight of the caliph wolves being annihilated without even lifting a hand.
Although he couldn’t fire like a machine gun with only the option of < Boncoulet's Poisoned Rooster >, Damian made a move by casting < Blood Impulse > on the new chicks in advance.
It showed skill that compensated for the low attack power and specs of the monster itself.
[Blood Impulse]
Level: 10
Attribute: Blood
Description: Increases the target’s attack and movement speed by 200% for 180 seconds.
Affected targets lose 1% health per second.
“surely. The skill level is high, so I can’t even jab it.”
“Pia!!!!”
Damian rubbed his chin at the young chicks who were engulfed in a red aura and blushing.
It was literally.
All three of the skills he mastered were either terribly ineffective or had unmanageable penalties.
Damian was able to confirm that the effect of < Corruption Potion > and < Blood Impulse > increased exponentially as the skill level went up, starting with < Shooting a poison dart >.
It was to the point where I wondered if they had the same skill.
The reason why Bunch and the new chicks were able to defeat Caliph Wolf was also because < Blood Impulse > had a large buff, but compared to its weak stats, the poison damage of < Poison Stinger > was high.
[Notice: < Gray Mane > obtained!]
[Notice: < Wolf Fangs > obtained!]
….
[Notice: < Ashen Eyes > obtained!]
“I picked them all up, master!”
“Good job.”
So Damian was able to raise the corners of his mouth as if he was happy to see Mungchi and the new chicks picking up items.
For example, if he could control a ranged attack unit powerful enough to pull out this much DPS, he wouldn’t have to worry about his identity being found out and trying to save the party, as he had a tendency of -9999999999.
“Oops. It’s perfect when the captain comes out.”
“Pia? What do you mean, master?”
“The one Joseph talked about. That I saw a really big wolf.”
As the wad flew over his shoulder, Damian narrowed his eyes and said.
It was part of the quest.
The < Wolves of the Caliphate > quest he received included clearing up the caliph wolf pack, but it also included killing the giant wolf that Joseph had witnessed.
Thus, the < Giant Wolf > mentioned by Joseph could be a kind of key-point that is very important in clearing the quest, and Damian felt that his first mission as a gold tier was not as easy as he thought.
[Wolves of the Caliphate]
According to Joseph, a shepherd boy in Conneil, the reason why sheep are dying is because of the appearance of wolves. Wipe out the wolves that appear in the highlands of the Caliph Mountains and defeat their boss.
Classification: General
Description:
– Kill 200 caliph wolves (20/200)
– Kill caliph giant wolves (0/1)
Progress: 0% (0/2)
Reward: Adventurers Guild’s Mission Complete Bundle
Notes: Failed mission Be careful as you may be punished by the Kingdom of Terra if the village of Conneil is destroyed!
Even though the gold-level quest had the difficulty level of 10 iron tier mercenaries, the difficulty of the quest Damian received was by no means an easy quest among the gold-level quests.
“This is almost eradication level…”
Tirling!
And the moment Damian licked his lips as if he was missing something while checking his quest window…
[Notice: < New Chicks 34 > has died!]
“…!”
Suddenly, in front of Damian’s eyes, along with the message that his new chick died, a shadow of a huge body began to cover Damian’s head.
“…they said the tiger would come if I told you.”
It was the shadow of a huge body stretching from the other side of the highlands of the Caliph Mountains.
* * *
– Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
“Uh.”
Damien frowned at the roar that tumbled across the highlands of the Caliphate.
It was something different from the story he had heard.
Obviously, the size of the giant wolf that Joseph said was bigger than most people, but the wolf that Damian saw right now was a size that seemed to be 3 meters long!
“This… Things are getting bigger than I thought…?”
“Oh, you’re so big, master!!!”
And when Damian scratched his sideburns as if embarrassed by the words of the frightened bunch, the wolf the size of a house began to spit out a long howl.
– Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo~!!
At the same time, it wasn’t long before the caliph wolves began to appear between the cracks in the bedrock.
[Notice: The < Great Wolf King > has appeared!]
[Notice: < The Great Wolf King > has summoned a group of Caliph Wolfs!] [
Notification: Prepare for an attack by a group of Caliph Wolfs!]
“Oops…. “What should I do, owner bastard!!
”
Doo doo doo doo!
As the Caliph Wolf herd ran along the ridge of the mountain range, the bunch hit.
It was an overwhelming sight.
At first glance, it seemed as if a cavalry unit was coming in, and it was a wedge-shaped square that seemed to push Damian and the crowd away at once!
And Damian took out the < +9 Sashimi > stuck in his waist as he watched the Great Wolf King staring down at him over the crowd of caliph wolves.
[Great Wolf King]
The ruler of the highlands of the Caliph Mountains. It appears to have grown gigantic under the influence of some kind. The de facto leader who leads the caliph wolf pack. It boasts ferocity and strength enough to hunt wild bears.
Race: Beast
Type: Elite
Level: 45
Uniqueness:
“Where did that guy come from? Well, I’m sure I’ve never seen a wolf that size in my life. That’s for sure.”
—From Gerta Retired Hunter’s Conversation
The Great Wolf King’s information he checked through the system window was because even he, who had the hidden class of witch doctor, boasted a spec that he could never belittle.
“Let’s try something.”
Whoa!
And Damian’s body began to be enveloped in a red aura.
