Episode 89. (6) [Swamp of Predators]
that blooms in the swamp .
In front of the rift created in Scandinavia.
The strongest guild in Europe was more confident than anyone else.
It was bohemian.
“It’s just that I’ve been out of luck.”
“okay! The magic tower wasn’t enough, so why did his rift only appear on the Asian side? It seems that the balance is finally getting right.”
“Asia or Russia, to be precise? Just thinking about Moscow or Hokkaido or the cold gives me goosebumps. You thought you would freeze to death in the shower. really.”
They received full support from the European Union EU.
Is it because of that support?
The atmosphere in the beginning was not bad.
Guyver, the No. 1 paladin and guild master.
It was to the extent that he smiled for the first time in a long time.
“When the rift attack is over, everything will return to normal.”
One of them was the guild ranking.
It was the Bohemian Guild that had maintained its 3rd place following the unification of the world in Shining.
It is said that the gap with those ahead of them is large. Guyver was overflowing with confidence that he would not catch up.
Let’s say it’s a latecomer.
It was about Japan’s Inazuma and Korea’s Gaon.
If players are active in that small country, how active will they be?
Even if they received national support, they would not have been able to follow them with the EU on their back.
But something went awry.
3rd place in 10,000 years.
Bohemian has been taken away.
Not to 4th place Inazuma, but to 5th place Gaon.
“There is no such thing as luck in the Colosseum.”
Yes, Gaon was just lucky.
Guyver believed so.
That is, when the predator zone appeared as a rift.
He expressed his overflowing confidence.
“Not only Gaon, but also the unification of the world…!”
Like Bohemians, guilds large and small supported by the EU. As much as it is a crack that appeared in Europe, the home ground. Guyver used every hand meticulously.
“master. Magic power is the limit!”
Support players in the back.
Guyver replaces them like mechanical parts.
Send players out of the rift.
“Team 2. Get right in.”
In fact, a united front of dozens of guilds.
Thanks to the selection of high-level players there as well.
The level of the players who were replaced did not lag behind too much.
There was enough support from the rear.
[The level has risen.]
In that full support.
It was Guyver and the Bohemian Guild members who only focused on hunting monsters.
It had been a long time since such a steep increase in experience gained.
“Would you like to save face in a while? Isn’t it Guyver?”
Guyver nodded without speaking.
Yes, it was good to be conceited in this rift.
The Shining and the unification of the world.
Because they couldn’t show overwhelming hunting speed like they did. yes, if it goes like this Don’t let things like Gaon top the rankings again…
“…Lee Ho-yeol entered the rift?”
Wait, who entered?
Lee Ho-yeol!
Fast-!
At that name, veins sprouted between Guyver’s forehead.
It couldn’t have been a name that made me nervous just by hearing it.
‘Because of that guy, Gaon took the 3rd place.’
The various fortunes that followed Gaon.
Among them, the greatest luck was Lee Ho-yeol.
Even in Yusra Kingdom and the Frost Skirmish.
Gaon had benefited from being united with Lee Ho-yeol.
‘The same goes for the Berserkers.’
A guild ranking that only goes from the top 10.
It wasn’t even worth considering as a competitor yet.
Berserker was also a guild supported by the EU.
‘Because the British Second Sun is no longer part of the European Union.’
In the EU, it was also the guild that occupied the position of the second person after Bohemian. So Guyver had no choice but to be sensitive to Lee Ho-yeol’s appearance.
‘Why did he enter this rift because of regret?’
Even if it’s a predator zone.
It must have been too easy a crack for Lee Ho-yeol.
It must have a different purpose.
‘…Could it be that other purpose?’
Maybe Gaon or Berserker.
If not, what if it is related to other guilds?
bone marrow bone.
Beads of sweat formed on Guyver’s forehead.
‘I must take responsibility for my remarks.’
that has received enormous support.
that it has to produce the results it deserves.
Impatience began to sprout in Guyver’s chest.
“I will pick up the pace. Team 1 re-enters!”
“Team 1 must have not finished recovering their mana yet, right?”
“Does not matter. From now on, it is a battle of speed.”
Then a message popped up.
[Someone made a contract with the spirit.]
“!”
This is Ho-yeol Lee.
The contract with the spirits was the purpose.
For a second, I thought I was lucky.
‘…Did you even know that the spirits were here?’
As expected, Lee Ho-yeol is amazing.
However, Lee Ho-yeol’s greatness was nothing new.
So, Guyver focused on the message that followed.
A buff that increases experience and drop rates.
A blush came over Guyver’s face.
‘The decision to raise the tempo was correct.’
Faster progress than any other guild.
Thanks to this, Guyver was able to reach the middle of the swamp.
and witnessed
“It is a gift from God.”
A chance to win the jackpot!
In the center of the rift, monsters were fighting each other.
I heard the voice of the analysis team in my ear.
– A ragged giant in appearance. And it’s expected to be a black iron eagle.
The information of the subsequent update history.
[Ragged Giant: Lv.600]
[Black Iron Eagle: Lv.600]
A named class monster with a whopping level of 600.
Those two monsters were fighting to the death.
Is it a battle as fierce as the same level?
Both seemed to have suffered considerable damage.
Guyver licked his lips.
“The enemy of an enemy is a friend.”
Yes, this was an opportunity to hunt two named monsters.
Under normal circumstances, it would have been difficult to deal with one. The guys are focused on each other. If you aim for that gap, you will be able to hit it one hit.
‘Just before being taken away.’
The EXP drop rate buff is now active.
Other guilds will speed up like they did.
I couldn’t miss this opportunity right in front of me.
Ranked 1st in the Paladin Rank.
A skill obtained as a reward from a class quest.
[Blessing of the Crusader] Activated.
Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Golden light began to emanate from Guyver.
Guyver shouted.
“Stand around me. charge.”
Attack and defense buffs to adjacent allies.
A skill that deals continuous damage to enemies.
As a class quest reward, the effect is outstanding.
“Oh oh! This is Mr. Guyver’s skill!!”
“The effect is significant.”
“After all, I’m not a ranker for nothing.”
The resulting morale boosting effect was a bonus.
Shu Shu Shuk—!
Under Guyver’s command.
Rain of arrows and attack skills.
Players charging Guyver in the lead.
“I’ll take care of the tattered giant first!”
Taking advantage of the gap where the black eagle bites and hangs down, it aims for the back.
Flutter-!
“?!”
However, that plan was ruined by the flapping of the black eagle’s wings.
The black iron eagle flew into the air and changed direction.
It was aimed at the support players in the back.
Guyver’s mind went blank.
“What is this?”
The guys who were fighting like killing each other until just now.
In an instant, they joined forces to attack them.
“Damn it…!”
Guyver exclaimed urgently.
“Everyone retreat! Protect the rear!”
I’m afraid the tail will fall out.
The momentum of the charge was nowhere to be found.
Damn there was no disgrace like this.
Guyver gritted his teeth.
‘I admit that I was impatient.’
But my judgment is not wrong.
Aren’t these patterns too much?
It was a trap.
It’s a tricky trap that anyone has no choice but to fall into…!!
*
Fights fiercely with ….
It’s true that in the Predator Zone, monsters battle each other even when no players are present. Are they really fighting each other to death?
a lofty gaze.
The nymph, who had been watching, opened her mouth.
“What should I do? Mr. Hoyeol.”
Spirits basically don’t like fighting.
However, when it comes to contract spirits, the words are different.
Regardless of the terms of the contract, the spirits are affected by the nature of the contractor. In a word, the nymph’s quick grasp of the situation is my influence.
Let’s see.
On the lotus leaves floating in the swamp.
I watched the war situation.
‘Is it the center of the swamp soon?’
According to the nymph.
I was told that there was a more active fight going on in the center.
It was because the spoils were in the center.
‘As evidence of that, we started to grab each other by the collar from here on out.’
The player is behind.
Monsters in the midst of fighting among themselves.
‘Actually, it’s like my heart.’
I wanted to get into that fight.
Because both of them are out of energy.
Both hunt and whether it’s for experience or loot.
He said he wanted to eat it raw.
‘It’s not about eating it raw, it’s a common sense judgment.’
Honestly, who could turn away from an opportunity like this?
But as crazy as the battle.
Wasn’t I crazy in a different sense?
I said to the nymph.
“It’s a battle for each other’s pride.”
That’s right, I’m crazy about pride…!
To prove one’s strength and win loot.
Monsters rushed into the predator zone.
That action must be regarded as worthy of Grandfel’s pride.
furthermore.
“It is against the dignity to intrude into that struggle.”
Intervening in that gap and aiming for the back of the head?
As expected, unless there is a reason that matches the pride.
That I can never eat raw.
The nymph gracefully bows her head.
“You really meant that. I will keep that in mind.”
Please don’t make such an enlightened expression.
The plea that echoes in my heart is also fleeting.
I let go of lingering
‘Honestly, I don’t have the confidence to hunt.’
In fact, I don’t even have enough energy to use chopsticks to eat raw.
Most of all, the amount of mana that escaped from the contract with the nymph was a burden.
As much as the contract was signed, the nymph would play an active part in the battle, but it was unclear how much help it would be.
‘Because I’ve never seen a spirit.’
The ability of the spirit nymph that I have confirmed is only one.
Only the blessings that stimulated the growth of the contemplative mistletoe.
In fact, the contract with the nymph was a tremendous achievement.
Because that’s where I got the idea for 『Nurture Methods of Non-Herbs』.
But I wasn’t going to be satisfied with that alone.
I witnessed that moment.
[Skill] Completely different from 『Magic』.
The spirit’s {nature} ability…!
It was also stated in the animology-related books.
‘I don’t know about other wizards, but to me.’
What that meant was simple.
It means that the number of quirks that can be used increases.
I saw the possibility of oddity in the last rift.
‘A fragment of a rift that could not be pierced with only 『magic』.’
Was that magic also ordinary magic?
In terms of destructive power, it was Bangrit’s pure magic that could be counted on one hand even in the Mage Tower.
I am a fragment of a rift that could not be pierced even with that kind of banglet magic.
In other words, it was pierced with [『George』], a combination of [Aesthetic] and [Magic].
‘It could be [{Giggy}] or {『Giggy}}.’
To put it simply.
{Nature} It must also mean that it has become a well dug a hole to live in.
A well that doesn’t dry up easily!
“It’s like the eye of a hurricane.”
Misconceptions end there.
I nodded at the nymph’s words.
The word “leisurely” suits my appearance.
The closer you get to the core loot.
Monsters were often seen fighting each other to the death. It’s probably not worth worrying about for a low-level player like me because they’re fighting each other.
I was rather thankful.
‘Because the loot is just as important as the level.’
More than anything, I needed to check.
predator zone.
called predators.
What is the loot that attracts named monsters?
As if possessed by something.
Yes, like a status ailment.
The spoils that make them fight each other.
‘The probability of being a devil’s item is not low.’
okay.
If there is even the slightest possibility that the devil is involved.
It must be that the pride of Grandfel cannot be overlooked.
‘I really go out and live a tiring life.’
Soon we reached the center of the swamp.
Players were visible.
Players who seem to have touched something wrong for a long time.
‘Wasn’t this almost getting into trouble?’
An eagle as big as a zombie giant and a giant.
I could see the players being helplessly attacked by the two monsters.
People’s thoughts are all there.
‘It looks like I put into practice what I only thought of?’
As a result, it seemed that he was going through high school.
‘You mean I might end up like that.’
Those players even have friends.
I was alone.
‘I can’t even enjoy the experience drop rate buff properly…’
Without any resistance.
It must have been Hwangcheon-haeng.
Literally, he said that he almost died doing good things to others.
Even if I tried to sweep my heart out in relief, it wasn’t enough.
I spoke shamelessly.
“The penalty for taking pride lightly is high.”
The nymph nodded.
“You are right.”
Then he looked at something and said.
“That huge rock is the prize that those gathered here are longing for. Precisely, something inside that rock is pulling everyone in.”
The moment I saw it, I could understand.
Why hasn’t anyone been able to take the loot yet?
Because it was a predator zone where the battle never ceased.
each other to each other.
They probably didn’t give you a chance to break the rock and claim the loot.
however.
“That’s not a rock.”
That premise is wrong.
Like I said, it wasn’t a rock.
“It is a seed.”
yes knowledge.
To be precise, the knowledge acquired through [The Pentagram of Pure Knowledge].
was telling
Those are plant seeds, not rocks.
“…seed?”
Even though it was a lower spirit, it was a forest spirit.
What if it’s the seed of an existence that even the spirits of the forest don’t know about?
