Chapter 33 - Knight of the Lake

'It's not easy.'

I pretended to be able to afford it, but the situation in Rokhan was not very good.

He believes in the efficacy of Berserk, which can sustain life for the duration even when his health reaches 0, and crashes into it.

'I have to see the end at once.'

I would try to do something up to the force, but the combination skill was a problem.

The durability of the Orc Battle Ax was considerably reduced even when the force was blocking the sword, but if it collided with the combination skill even for a short time, the durability would plummet.

Because of that, he managed to avoid Aqua Slush, but the Aqua Guard was a problem. In order to strike him, he had to break through that absolute defense anyway.

'I'm ready to die... … huh '

Rokan, who was moving his head quickly even during the fierce battle, remembered something.

"Heh heh! Let's die somewhere!"

And immediately got beaten up by the guy.

If I had to be prepared for death anyway, there was no need to waste time.

"Leaf Attack!"

Rokhan immediately leaped and tried to slam him down.

- Aqua Guard!

Then, when activated naturally, Aqua Guard! Her sharp tongue flicked towards Lokhan as the sword shield, which even contained magical energy, was activated.

"Cancel! Throwing!"

Conversely, he was in a situation where he would be harmed, but Rokhan was not at all embarrassed.

As if he knew that, he threw the hatchet in the air with his throwing skill, and twisted his slowed body as the leaf attack was cancelled. And landed right in front of him, twisting his waist and body to explode the power he gained in an instant.

"Shoulder charge!"

A powerful torso head-butt that would cause the chest to collapse if hit head-on! It penetrated through the aqua guard, which had been slightly opened by the throwing.

- No way!

However, the power of the combination skill was enormous. Even though the mighty career in the throw broke his stance for an instant, he still pierced Lokhan's body with power.

His vitality plummeted in an instant, and the power of his explosive charge faded.

Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't be strange at all to be silent here. However, Rokhan's eyes were shining more than ever.

"The Lion King's sealed helmet, wear it!"

And at that moment, a change occurred in Lokhan's appearance. The Sealed Helmet of the Lion King, which had been secretly removed during the confrontation with Artwight, was put back on.

[Health has fallen below 5%.]

[The title Indomitable Will effect increases all stats by 50%.]

The reason why he bothered to unequip such excellent armor. It was to bring out the special effects of the title's indomitable will.

A crazy ability that increases all stats by 50% when health drops below 5%! As soon as it was activated, Lokhan changed his equipment.

"Kuhhhhhhhhh!!"

And Rokhan poured out the anger he had accumulated for a while without holding back any longer.

The level difference was close to twice, but it was an artwight that was similar in terms of ability.

However, with Berserk, his stats were doubled, and his stats increased by 50% again with his indomitable will. And finally, with the effect of the Sealed Helmet of the Lion King, up to 50% enhancement of the shout-type skill effect!

Even a 100-level grandfather could not help but have an impact.

- Ugh!

Following the Aqua Guard, Artwight's legs as he tried to shake the sword loosened, and the strength in the hand holding the sword weakened.

A perfect gap was created that could not be missed.

"Dash, strike!"

There's no way Rokhan will miss it. He burrowed right into him and delivered a mortal blow. He amplified all the strengthened powers once more and wielded a force that was difficult to receive even in his intact state.

[critical!]

There was even a critical hit.

Users' basic critical hit chance is 0%. In other words, it was something that would never explode, but it had a title effect for Rokan.

10% from 'Catching an Orc fighter at level 1' and 10% from 'PKK (Player Killer Killer)' were added, and the 20% chance obtained exploded on time.

- Cuckoo!

The critical hit effect doubles the damage!

The damage equivalent to the maximum health was applied at once, and Artwight fell into a moribund state for a moment.

As it is a being close to a spirit, it did not fall into the shock effect like a normal monster, but the debuffing effect was revealed as the scenery beyond the body became transparent enough to be reflected.

"Hehe! Where are you going!"

Artwight pulled himself out immediately, but there was no way he would let it go.

Rokhan quickly caught up and swung his battle axe, ignoring damage and firing at the opponent, ending him before fleeing into the lake.

[You have leveled up.]

[You have leveled up.]

[Level up... … .]

[Miraculous achievement! You overcame the limits of your abilities and fought and won against beings of a different class.]

[You have acquired the title 'The Warrior of Reversal'.]

[You are the first recipient of this title.]

[Miraculous achievement! You are the first to defeat a world-renowned being.]

[The title 'First Named Hunter' has been acquired.]

[You are the first recipient of this title.]

[The titles 'Reverse Warrior' and 'First Named Hunter' will be combined as special conditions are met.]

[Impossible Achievement! You overcame the limits of your abilities and fought and won against other beings who made a name for themselves in the world.]

[You have acquired the title 'Breaking the Limit'.]

[You are the first recipient of this title.]

[First] [Breaking the limit] [Legend]

Having defeated an opponent of a different level than yourself, you have the qualities of an absolute who knows no limits.

You are the first recipient of this title.

[Retention effect]

-Increases all stats by 10% when fighting opponents stronger than you

-Increases all stats by 20% when fighting named monsters

-Increases all skill levels by 1 when fighting an opponent stronger than you

- When fighting an opponent stronger than you, all penalties according to the level difference are nullified

"omg."

Combine Titles! This was something even Rokhan hadn't thought of.

Judging from the expression shown in the notification, it seems that both titles were epic, but the two were combined and reborn as 'legend' class titles.

The orc fighter I caught at level 1 also had a name, but it was also because the 'named world famous' recognized by the system was from level 100. If I had obtained a named hunter at that time, the present opportunity would not have happened.

And the effect was truly enormous.

The increase in stats will also create great synergy with the existing titles, but all skill level increases and penalties for level differences are nullified!

This was an effect that allowed Rokan to fight on an equal footing with anyone, so it was a more important title than anything else that would change the important hurdles to be overcome more smoothly.

"As expected, this was the correct answer!"

Berserk's penalty made his body heavy, but his mood was lighter than ever.

At this point, it didn't matter what Materian's quest was. I got the essence of the lake, but even if it didn't work, I thought I'd be happy.

But Rokhan wasn't all that excited. While suffering the penalty after using Berserk, the monsters roaming around the area were threatening enough, so I immediately set up a safety zone using the safety guard and decided to wait for the penalty to end.

"Establish a safe zone."

It was a dangerous area where first attack type monsters roamed, but since they wiped out all the monsters around them, the non-combat state was recognized and a safe zone was opened.

And when less than a minute had passed, a fireball fell towards Rokhan.

"Fireball!"

Fuck!

Seeing that, Rokhan smiled. He didn't even dodge. He just stood still and watched the fireballs fall.

Quaang!

After a while, something amazing happened. The fireball passed through Lokhan's body and hit the floor, causing an explosion.

However, despite the explosion at his feet, Rokhan was unscathed.

It was the effect of a safe zone that few people knew about yet. While it is maintained, a space separation effect takes place and guarantees absolute safety as in a village.

"what, what"

"Why are you fine?"

"That's not nuclear, I didn't waste money from the development team"

But the assailants, unaware of it, panicked and hid themselves.

They don't want to be revealed, but Lokhan already knows who they are.

The elite members of the MP Guild who were hunting nearby.

If it wasn't for Berserk's aftereffects, he would have rushed right away and slaughtered him, but now he was just watching them laughingly. Because they've already been filmed.

Even if it wasn't now, I didn't intend to leave them alone, so I didn't think impatiently.

"I made a video. Bounce!"

"Operator bastards, let's see what they say this time!"

After several more pointless attacks, they fled from Lorkhan. He did not fight back and stayed still, but he chose to run away in fear that he could attack them at any time.

"Jerk the."

While all of them disappeared and the monsters of Cheongmyeong Lake reappeared without recognizing themselves, Lokhan, who had recovered from Berserk's aftereffects, robbed himself and got up.

After that, he easily slaughtered those who attacked again and circled around the lake. It is to collect the special grasses that grow around the lake.

I didn't learn the gathering skill separately, but the probability of gathering was low, but the collection itself was possible, so I put it in plenty and remembered Lake Cheongmyeong in the rune book. This is because the last quest of Materian has quite a few restrictions to solve right now.

"return."

Having achieved his goal, Lokhan immediately returned to the village.

* * *

Rokhan disposed of all the miscellaneous items in the village, and raised the durability of the equipment that went down to the floor to the maximum while dealing with Artwight.

And finally, I found the wizard guild.

However, Materian did not meet. She was thinking of completing the last quest in one go without having to go back and forth.

"Purchasing goods."

One merchant NPC cannot deal with all users. When I spit out the purchase order, a translucent window opened. Then, all the items that could be obtained from the Wizard Guild appeared in the window.

Enchanted items were all expensive, so almost no items were sold except for the necessary wizard-only items, but Rokhan bought some items without hesitation.

It was sold at a crazy price of 1 gold per item because it was consumable, but it was magic grade, but it didn't matter. On the way back, I stopped by the auction house to collect the money.

Thanks to Blood Chaser's massive drop of items, he had enough money to buy three of them.

After finishing his errands in the village, Rokan went back to Cheongmyeong Lake.

"Using the Rune Book. To Qingming Lake."

Shushiung!

* * *

The newly regenerated monsters attacked without fear.

However, it was not even an after-dinner exercise for Rokan, who had explosively leveled up by catching a level 100 artwight.

Honest attacks that were faithful to instinct were all seen through, and since they were still higher in level, Rokan's ability was blown up with the title effect. He trampled on everything that showed his hostility.

"Is this going to be okay?"

After slaughtering all attacking enemies and securing safety, Rokhan settled down somewhere on the lake.

It is to catch 'Fish of Cheongmyeong Lake', the last quest material of Materian.

Normally, you would have to bring a fishing rod or a harpoon to catch it, but Lokhan, who had gone through hardships in his previous life, knew the shortcut.

Rokhan took out a yellow marble he bought from the Wizards Guild, held it in his hand, and aimed it at a point in the Qingming Lake.

"Lightning Shock!"

What Lokhan used was, surprisingly, magic. That's pretty plausible lightning magic! Like the cloak of stealth, he bought an item that allowed him to use related skills without having a specific job.

Unlike the cloak of stealth, it was only a consumable item that could use magic up to three times per marble, but the effect was clear.

"Lightning shock, lightning shock, lightning shock!"

When he risked the consumption of mana and used the item in succession, fainted fish floated on the surface of the lake.
