chapter 17
17. Bloody Gauntlet (2)
<Report! Found a user whose equipment matches the target’s customization.>
<Where is the location?>
<Confirmed entering the underground waterway.>
<What? By groundwater?>
<Yes.>
<Isn’t it excluded from the search because of the level 15 limit for underground water?>
<Yes.>
<Damn it, if he’s right, we’ve been digging for three days. Hopefully, I only looked around the outskirts… … .>
<Shoveling is correct.>
<Hu, shut up, did you stick your tail?>
<I attached one.>
<Okay. look at the picture Show it to the client and get it checked.>
<Okay!>
The guild master of the Shinnok Guild let out a deep sigh at the whisper he had heard earlier. It was easy to see at first because it was just a job to find a user in a beginner city. If he goes, where will he go? However, I thought that one day would be enough, but I couldn’t find the target for three days. But a suspect appeared.
It was also in the 15-level beginner dungeon, which they excluded from the search after much thought.
“Ha, if this is true, it means that Sirek was beaten by a level 15 guy.”
What on earth and how careless do you have to be to get a level 50 to get hit by a level 15 scum? Of course, there are several possibilities. The whole body was blacked out, or the level 15 was a nuclear whale that was covered only with mythical and legendary items. However, as far as he knows, it is an ordinary armament that is not much different except for the longsword of sacrifice, which is a popular high-end item.
“Tsk, this is not the time to be like this.”
His job is to ‘handle’ the photo of the prime suspect after receiving it from the client. After a while, when the suspect’s photo was posted on the guild request board, he sent it to the client, and after waiting for another 20 minutes, the long-awaited contact finally came.
<Yes. He’s right.>
<Then can we proceed as planned?>
<Yes. Just make him quit the game.>
<hahahaha. OK.>
The way to make the opponent fold in Seion was simple. Kill until folded. If you look at the method, first make the opponent impossible to resist, then capture and kill them by dragging them to a specific area where the place of resurrection is limited. If you reconnect after the 3-day death penalty, it will wait in the respawning place and continue to kill. It’s simple, but that’s why it’s so easy to use.
After contacting the client, the guild master said to the man standing next to him.
“Don’t break it.”
“Yes.”
“How much would it be if I only guessed at level 15 or lower among the kids on the waiting list?”
“About twenty people.”
“twenty? That’s all.”
“Because it is a section where there is no original body request.”
“Gee, even if the level is too low, it’s a problem.”
“Wouldn’t twenty people be enough?”
“I have to drag the guy who pushed me to level 50 without killing him. Does that sound easy?”
“That’s right.”
“By penetration?”
Looters have limited range of motion within the city. You can hide your face with a hood or robe, but if you meet a prickly guard NPC and ask to cover your face, he will come on the spot.
“There is a secret passage in the southern ghetto tavern. You can enter by paying 1 gold per person to the host NPC.”
“great. Passage secured. So now the problem is that there are too few cleaners… … .”
“Well, then how about using Chinese kids? There is one company that just opened… … .”
“Chinese kids?”
“Yes.”
“Wouldn’t that be a problem later?”
All Seion users around the world play on one server, so each country has a separate activity area within Seion. There were many. They always flock to the other country’s territory to massacre or plunder low levels, so the perception of Chinese players is almost a nuisance.
“That’s right, but it’s cheap. They advertised that they received requests per case, not per second, and poured in an infinite amount until the request was completed.”
“Hoo… … .”
Being cheap is an advantage that cannot be ignored. The knife I use is a little dirty, but what is it? It was enough if you had a good knife.
“How much is the unit price?”
“I’ll have to come to an agreement, but since I’m dragging a level 15, it should be around 1,000 gold.”
“The contract we signed was 3,000 gold, right?”
“Yes.”
“great. Then you contact the company and put in a request. The time is 2 hours. Ask them to tell you the maximum number you can collect, and from now on release the children and control it with groundwater.”
“Control?”
“okay. If the Chinese guys were released, they would definitely go around poking around, but it would be a headache if our names were mentioned.”
“All right.”
* * *
“Hmm, that’s strange.”
At some point, the number of people in the dungeon began to decrease. The second floor of the underground waterway is so wide that it doesn’t come across very often, but there was always a party in the area where Warchief Gnoll usually haunts, but for some reason it’s nowhere to be seen. Thanks to the increased number of monsters, it is a bit cumbersome, but it is better than before. How many times have you been in danger because the guys who only aim for the warchief of gnoll don’t hunt, but go around chasing after them? Thanks to that, I’m enjoying hunting while eating the entire area where the Nol warchief appears the most.
Chow! Poo!
As Gnoll Strider’s head flew off, a message appeared in the corner of his field of vision.
[You have completed Stage 9 of the Challenge Quest.]
-Catch 10 Gnoll Striders 10/10
[You have successfully hunted 10 Gnoll Striders. You can get 1,500 exp normal~legendary item draw ticket x3.]
[Remember. If you give up the current reward, you can challenge a bigger reward.]
[Do you want to challenge? There is no compensation in case of failure.]
“The challenge quest is finally level 10.”
While hunting for three days, I continued to press the challenge, so I somehow managed to complete the 9th step. Of course, I didn’t take the 9th level because I was bored. Looking at WeTube, the person who set this to the highest level was level 22, and even though it failed, it was because the reward for level 21 was a ticket to draw legendary equipment. And that’s not all. The number of views on the YouTube video challenging the 22nd step is a whopping 200 million even after only a month has passed… … . If I succeed up to step 22, I think it is possible to get at least 100 million views. Well, it can’t be helped… … .
[challenge]
-Task 10. Hunt 30 looters.
– Successful reward: 2,000 exp, Enhancement Stone x100, Premium~Legendary Accessory Draw Ticket x3
– No compensation upon death
For the first time, a quest to catch people, not monsters, came out.
“30 looters… Chet.”
The tongue gets cold in no time. The reason was simple. It was because it was not a quest that I could actively solve, but a quest waiting for the looters to attack me. Estimatedly, it would take about a week at the earliest. It was when he was organizing his thoughts on the quest in his head.
“Kreur… 100 million… I cry… … !”
From somewhere, a muddy howl sounds like boiling phlegm. I stopped thinking at that sound and straightened my weapon. This sound is unique to certain monsters that appear here. The voice one pick that hunters here want to hear the most! that’s right… … .
‘Warchief Gnoll!’
I heard the voice that I had never heard before even after wandering through the second floor with underground water for three days.
“Where are you!”
Tsutsutsut!
Looking around, a black aura shimmering about 30m away, announcing the monster’s regeneration. Given its size, it must be the Warchief Noll. And regen will be completed in about 10 seconds.
‘in a hurry!’
I have something in my bag for this occasion.
-[Premium Mocha Latte★★★]
-[Magic Scroll – Haste★★★★]
-[Magic Potion- Striking★★★]
All in all, it costs 100 gold, which is the best buff combination I can currently use. In case I was lucky enough to meet the warchief alone, I immediately used the things I had intended to use.
-Premium mocha latte
-Health recovery +50%
-Mana Recovery +50%
[59:59]
– haste
-Movement speed +30%
-Attack speed +10%
[59:59]
– striking
-All stats +5
[59:59]
Perhaps it was the aftermath of a sudden surge in ability, but the sense of heightened power was no joke. It’s like the feeling when the synchronization rate soars after using berserk.
“Kreuk! What a pity! Traitor of the clan, be cursed by the gods!”
Wow!
The black aura dissipated, finally revealing Warchief Gnoll’s massive body. One and a half times larger than Chief Gnoll, it looks like a different entity, holding a huge spear in one hand and an orb emitting black energy in the other.
[Start recording]
The preparations are over.
“Goes!”
* * *
widely! Tarak! Tarak!
About 30 users are walking fast on the second floor with underground water. how much did it take The user who was leading the way raised his hand and said.
“stop.”
At his command, everyone stands in perfect order. He quickly scanned the surrounding terrain and started talking to the guild.
<Team 2! Team 3! Here is the chief team leader. Did you arrive at the target location?>
<Team 3 has arrived.>
<2 teams have arrived.>
<Good. Then, as previously briefed, the search begins. Team 2 presses in from the south, team 3 from the west, and I press from the north. When you find a target, do not strike first and wait until the encirclement is complete.>
<Okay.>
<Okay.>
They are only level 13-15, but their behavior is like an organized army. how much time has passed Guild words are heard from Team 2.
<found. The target location is the corridor south of Warchief Nol 3 on the 2nd floor of the underground waterway.>
<What is the target state?>
<Goal… You are currently solo raiding Warchief Gnoll.>
<What? solo raid? Is the target dangerous?>
The chief team leader asked the second team leader with a surprised voice. If the target is killed by the warchief, all requests for today will be gone. However, surprise spread across the head team leader’s face at the second team leader’s answer.
<No. It’s not moving at all.>
<huh… yes?>
<Yes. It seems to be raidable enough when considering buff status and other things.>
I heard from the client that I had considerable equipment and skills, but I didn’t think it was enough to solo Warchief Gnoll. But that doesn’t change the plan. The number of people put into this dungeon to capture the target now is a whopping 60 people.
<Good. Don’t worry about him raiding and wait at your current location. If you intrude for nothing and the boss aggro is attracted, the plan may go wrong.>
<Okay.>
After completing the instructions, the 1st team leader moved to the southern corridor that the 2nd team leader said, and after a while stopped at a location where the target could be seen with the naked eye.
“You fight well.”
target is visible He evades Warchief Nol’s attack and persistently cuts down his lower body with a long sword, which is breathtaking and admirable.
“Come out of the guards!”
A black aura rises around the Gnoll warchief’s cry, and six Gnolls are summoned. Warchief Nol’s main skill, ‘Summon the Guard’, is one of the tricky patterns to attack the party’s healer or long-range attacker as soon as they appear.
“Kwaaang!”
As the warchief of the gnoll raised the orb and let out a howl, a black aura extending from the orb enveloped the gnolls. Increases the attack power of the gnolls summoned by the warchief’s wide-area buff skill. The chief team leader thought that he should step in and help the target not to die, but he quickly folded that thought.
Aww!
The target, who struck two gnolls with one sword at once, broke through the gnolls’ siege and attacked the warchief. Surprisingly, it wasn’t just that.
“You are intelligent.”
The goal was to lure the gnolls to the warchief nol and rather hinder the movement of the warchief and the gnolls. Anyway, the goal’s solo raid looks smooth.
<Where is Team 3 located?>
<It will arrive in 1 minute.>
<Good. The capture start is the moment the target finishes the raid. Since the raid has just ended, you won’t have much life, so be careful not to stab the paralysis poison users in each team, and the target may have a teleportation scroll, so cast paralysis as quickly as possible.>
<How to catch?>
<The capture will only go in with our 1 team, so the rest will build a siege and wait.>
<Okay.>
How long has it been since you gave the order?
“Quaaaagh! Indignant!”
With Warchief Gnoll’s bitter cry, the goal of the Goal Warchief Solo Raid was finally over. If you know them well, they will blow congratulations, but now they are all in the body to capture the target.
A bow was held in his hand. As a rare bow, its damage is weak, but it has a paralyzing attack option. As soon as he aimed at the target and let go of the protest, the attack began.
<Mabizo!>
<Yes!>
<Old!>
At the same time as giving the command, the Mabijos scattered across each team start running toward the target all at once.
<Catch up with the capture team!>
<Yes!>
Team 1’s capture team, led by the chief team leader, followed after the Mabi group. While Mabijo paralyzes the target, they tie the target with a rope, a special item, and the game is over. But… … .
“what?”
The moment the target and the eyes met, the head team leader felt chills running down his spine.
“Smile?”
Dozens of looters rushed towards him, but the target was rather smiling. That too is very bright.
