Chapter 61 - Mutated Monster (2)

Even the bleeding effect following the critical hit!

Bleeding not only deals continuous damage, but also has an effect of hindering recovery, so the Blade Demon's Sculpture will further advance Lokhan's attack power.

It is for this reason that Rokan targeted the tricky Blade Mine among the five mutants.

Of course, I didn't know that the item I wanted from the beginning would drop.

"You're really lucky this time."

When I checked the quest window with a hearty smile, the confirmation of the mutated monster had changed from 0/3 to 1/3.

Originally, blades and blades were people who did not have an entity called a boss monster.

"I'll have to hurry though."

The other two types of monsters that I had steamed were simpler than this. Only time is an issue. Because there was no capsule-only suit yet, the access time limit was short.

Rokan, who quickly returned to one more hunting ground and filled up to 2/3 of the quest completion conditions, closed the connection and returned to reality.

"Because they are like sloppy bastards."

I don't know who was caught, but there were already scattered hints online about how to get to the tertiary city.

I don't think someone spread it intentionally, but it seems that they were caught carelessly. Or, the information was spread to the same guild and then leaked out.

Everyone was looking for a way to get to the tertiary city with lights on, so it wouldn't be too strange if they were caught without even knowing it.

"Soon there will be more people."

The method was revealed not only in the crossroads, but also in many areas, and there were slight differences depending on the race or region, but all movement methods were generally similar, so it seemed that 3rd city advancers would soon appear in the rest of the area.

"I'm glad you finished your preparations."

The good thing is that they were prepared to greet them in advance.

While they continue to work on false information to make money on the vending machine, he can widen the gap.

Lorkhan searched for some information, thinking of his next plan.

They were famous guilds and individuals in their previous lives.

"As expected, I can't help them."

There were quite a few people who advanced to the tertiary city early thanks to the strengthening equipment they sowed. However, being the trend, again, their control was not going anywhere.

There were some variables, but most of the good guys were getting ahead quickly.

Unless the area was the same, it was not easy to disrupt them properly, let alone to put them down with just false information.

"Is this the start?"

In that sense, the real race had just begun.

Now, when various races meet, merge into one guild, create synergies, and grow rapidly by repeating themselves, this is the beginning of true competition, and rather, it is the time when we have to widen the gap.

"I look forward to it."

An excited smile crept across his lips.

* * *

After accessing The Road again, Lokhan found the Cross Road.

This was because the items piled up in the vending machine had to be sorted out, and in order to head to the next destination along the way, they had to go through it.

"You guys are doing well."

The shop he found while hiding was already crowded with quite a few people.

As if that was the only way, Lokhan was hunting the intended monsters and selling the by-products.

Although it was not intended, it is becoming more popular as rumors circulate that 'doing a lot of transactions with stores will help with reputation work'.

Thanks to this, money-making by-products were piled up, and consumables that had been inflated to several times the size of the shopping mall were considerably reduced.

After taking out and refilling the goods, Rokhan, who escaped, rode his horse to the east.

'It's all here.'

The last mutant was a group of 'Murlocs' living on the seashore.

It was a monster that looked like a mutant fish, but oddly, the class was divided into two.

Sorcerers and Rogues.

It's a combination that doesn't match easily, but that's why it was tricky.

If you rush in to kill the shaman who is pouring out all sorts of curses and magic attacks first, you'll get stabbed by a stealthed murloc rogue.

Because of that, it could have been tricky if it was more tricky than the knife blade, but there was a corner where Rokhan believed.

'An anti-spirit's blessing. It would have been difficult without it.'

An anti-spirit's blessing that increases all elemental defense by 10%.

Here, 10% did not mean that 10% of the magic defense was added. Conversely, it was safe to say that it reduced the enemy's magic attack power by 10%.

from 0% to 100%. Of course, it was difficult to raise a user who actually achieved 100% in a previous life, but it was rumored that if he achieved 100%, he would be immune to all magical effects except high-level magic.

With 10% defense against all attributes, Rokhan would only take about 90% of the damage even if he was hit by magic with his bare body.

"Let's see… … ."

Arriving in front of the murloc's habitat, Lokhan first inspected the terrain. In the case of the murloc's habitat, which is classified as a fairly popular hunting ground until the middle of the year, the basic terrain is the same, but there are things that change from time to time.

"About six that can be confirmed once."

It was the existence of the 'Giant Clam' that the murlocs farm.

The habitats of murlocs are classified into shipwrecks and farms. In shipwrecks, there is a 'treasure box' that drops items of normal to rare grade with a certain probability, and in the farmhouse, there is a giant clam that drops 'mana pearls'.

Among them, it was the giant clam that Rokhan's eyes were shining.

If you're lucky, it's good to have a treasure chest where you can get even rare equipment of the level 130-140 level, but you can get mana pearls that are traded at high prices with a high probability in the giant clam, and you can acquire an item called a five-colored pearl with a low probability. .

Mana pearls, which are jewelry and used as a manufacturing material, are quite expensive, but five-colored pearls have the effect of temporarily increasing elemental defense when crushed and powdered on the body.

In addition to sales, it is highly used for combat assistance.

'If you find enough pearls in five colors... … . I can penetrate there too.'

That was the reason Rokhan was aiming for the five-colored pearl. A secret dungeon in Crossroads that can only be accessed by increasing elemental defense!

I know the location, but I'm preparing to attack the secret dungeon that I haven't tried yet because magic attacks are burdensome.

"First of all, I'll have to catch the clam spot."

Giant clams were few in number and randomly located, but it was not a cause for concern. It was because there was only one user, Lokhan, hunting here right now.

In addition, the regen speed was not slow, so if you could reliably clean up the murlocs, you could properly suck honey.

It is to set up a certain line of movement and move as if drawing a circle or square to destroy murlocs and giant clams within the line of motion.

"You don't have to go into the water."

The problem is that many of the giant clams are half submerged with their heads sticking out.

Because of that, you had to swim to open them, but if you were underwater, you could get caught by the murloc shaman and be in trouble.

So, Rokan lightly passed the giant clams submerged in the water. Considering the regeneration speed of the giant clams anyway, it was possible to repeatedly work without stopping enough without aiming for all the giant clams.

For that reason, Lokhan set his sights on an area along the beach and moved towards it.

And one more thing. He wore a ragged vest made using mechanical engineering.

[Ragged Mechanical Vest] [Superior]

A mechanical vest that defends against an enemy's physical attack for one time only. Any attack is blocked and destroyed instead when hit.

-Defend 1 attack below a certain level

-Automatic destruction when effect is activated

It was a guy who cost dozens of silver just for materials, but Rokhan didn't spare it. He had to raise his mechanical engineering skill proficiency, and the attack power of the murloc thief was just as intimidating.

If they were to be attacked at once, even Lokhan could suffer a serious blow.

'But it's different if I have a little time.'

However, it is a different story if you block even one attack and are given time to react.

Whether you use a guard, press down with force, or at least use a Berserk, you can deal with it as much as you like.

[Contaminated Murloc Shaman][Lv 141]

"Leaf attack, fatal blow!"

Lokhan leaped unstoppably towards the place where you don't know how many guys with a whopping 20 or more level difference might be hiding in stealth.

Concentrating his power in one go, he slashed the murloc shaman's head down.

Quack!

The murloc shaman's head, like a rotten fish head, dug in at once.

Since the damage that was blown up with the combination skill was applied to the spell series with already low vitality, one shot one kill came out even though there was a difference of more than 30 levels.

Kkoreuk!

But I couldn't be careless. Just as the murloc shaman's head exploded, a murloc thief came out of hiding and emerged from behind.

A small but sharp dagger sliced ​​through the air to pierce Lokhan's nape.

"joy!"

Rokan was also not easy. As if he expected that much, he took a light turn and slapped the murloc rogue. Because the distance was too close, he swung the handle like a blunt weapon.

Kww!

With that one shot, one of the murloc rogue's head was crushed into a knife handle.

The eyeballs protruded as if they were going to pop out, and mucus was expelled from the mouth, but the breath was still attached.

Rokan's expression hardened and he stomped his foot.

"strike!"

Strength values ​​increased by skills do not only apply to both hands and weapons. Lorkhan stepped on his rogue's head, a crushed murloc with his weight-bearing advance.

A brief swing of the battle ax separated the flattened head from the torso.

Kkoreuk! Kkoreuk!

Then, this time, three murloc thieves attacked at the same time.

As it was a hunting ground that no one had ever visited, the number of monsters released on the field was excessively abundant.

"guard!"

They were intimidating since they all attacked from stealth, but Rokhan responded calmly.

Using his guard, he struck one dagger with his left arm and pulled the battle ax in his right hand to block the other.

[Ragged Mechanical Vest destroyed by Murloc Rogue.]

The last attack hit him with his body.

I didn't expect to use this already, but considering the characteristics of a murloc thief focused on one-hit attacks, it was worth it. Especially since this last attack was his combination skill.

Curse of the deep sea.

If you start to get caught in this combination skill that overlaps and cuts down the enemy's abilities stabbed by the dagger, you will get a big obstacle in hunting.

'The best thing is that it doesn't fit at all.'

Thanks to that, Lokhan created a gap and immediately activated his skill. As the one who will send the three guys who attack again in one shot.

"Twist Attack!"

The force was activated as soon as the battle began. The murlocs, swept away by the vortex of power, were torn apart and howled.

It didn't even end in one room. It stopped only after spinning three times in place using the excess power.

"Whoa."

Thanks to that, none of the guys who attacked were in good shape. His whole body was swollen, or at least one arm was dangling, barely holding on.

"It's soggy!"

Rokhan even swung his battle ax and finished them off.

If it weren't for the shaman and thief classes with weak physical strength, I might have had a hard time.

As their level went up, their physical strength also increased significantly, so it would be unreasonable to see the end at once without a critical hit.

Of course, if you hit the crit well, you'll melt it in an instant.

"Then let's see"

Confirming that there were no more attacks, Rokhan calmly stood in front of the giant clam.

'Five-colored pearls, five-colored pearls... … .'

If he opened his big mouth, he would be able to see what he had heard.

"Damn it."

However, nothing was found in the mouth of the giant clam that was pulled back. Not to mention five-colored pearls, not even mana pearls were found.

Thanks to that, Rokan's expression crumpled. Well, since when did she say that she was lucky... … .

[Nothing found.]

The moment I thought so, a translucent window appeared in front of my eyes.

[Finding the Traces of the Lion King][Quest]

The Lion King's sealed helmet sensed a certain kind of power. Let's find out the identity and reveal it.
