There have been some doubts from the beginning.
To be considered a shadow elf transformed into a shadow sword, Ariel seemed to know a lot about the queen's intentions and internal circumstances.
Seong Ji-han asked directly.
"Are you the Shadow Queen?"
[…] … It's not?]"But how are you sure the Queen will remove her finger?"
[Are you saying that fingers are really not that big of a deal to a shadow elf? Play it soon. If the queen's confidant like me speaks, she will listen quickly.]"Are fingers of little value to a shadow elf?"
When Seong Ji-han looked towards Artmu and asked, he answered.
[Shadow elves are also a race derived from elves, so they have excellent regenerative abilities. Even the queen would have to bleed to obtain the essence of shadow energy through one finger. You don't just need a shell. It must contain the essence of shadow energy.]"I heard that's true?"
[…] … The Queen is showing great interest in you and Eclipse. You can make that much of an investment. And, I'm really not a queen!]"Hmm… … ."
Seong Ji-han looked at his left hand with suspicious eyes, but since he completely denied it, he decided to skip it for now.
"Well, let's watch a little longer. Queen."
[under… … It's unfair. I wish I was a queen too! Why would the queen be inside a sword like this!]"I know. Why are you doing this, queen?"
[Because it's not!]Ariel jumping up and down.
Seong Ji-han chuckled and spoke to Artmu.
"I'll try to get the Queen's finger from here."
[okay? If that is met, the sword can also be strengthened.]"I get it."
[Then the negotiations are completed.]Flashing. Flashing.
Light bursts out from Artmu's body, and his size rapidly decreases.
A small white trumpet the size of a palm appeared in front of the shrine.
[When you get the rock, blow the trumpet. I invite you to my blacksmith shop.]"good. And your energy of light. That's something special, is there any way to get it?"
[…] … her! He's a greedy guy too. What overflows in my forge is the energy of light you mentioned. Just bring rocks. I wouldn't mind taking some.]"hmm. now… … ."
[See you then.]Crash. Crash.
With those words, Artmu's entire body disintegrated and disappeared from the mid-boss room in an instant.
'It goes so fast.'
A unique energy of light that I encountered for the first time.
This was also worth analyzing, but as soon as the negotiations were completed, the other party withdrew without even looking back.
Was it because I was worried that if I stayed any longer, the energy of light would be taken away?
'I guess I'll have to get the rock and go.'
When Seong Ji-han was thinking like that.
Kurrrrrr… … .
[Is this where the diamonds are!] [The difficulty level is going to be difficult? That's what I was prepared for!]The mid-boss room door opened, and alien guests began to arrive again.
First of all, I have to finish the game in first place.
"Goes. Queen."
[…] … under. Call it whatever you want.]Seong Ji-han drew a horizontal line with Eclipse in place.
Sigh!
Then, the invaders split up all at once.
-As expected, one shot… … .
-Artmu is the one who survived.
-And why do the customers feel weaker too?
-ㄹㅇ Only those who don't need to use the red thunderbolt come here.
Rather, in the middle of the game, a powerful race attacked.
Since Seong Ji-han had been giving up so many one kills, only the chaff was invading at the end of the game.
And let's wipe out these enemies in one blow.
-Wow, there are no customers anymore... … .
-The scores with Artmu are starting to increase a bit. Narrowed down to 2,000 points.
-The score for catching the Artmu dwarves earlier didn't count.
-Is that because the combined robot is the main body? It's a shame
Seong Ji-han's mid-boss room is now completely deserted.
'I'm glad today is the last day.'
If we hadn't attracted aggro with diamonds in the early to mid-game, we would have allowed a reversal near the end.
[Special Dungeon, 'Boss Election' ends.] [Player 'Seong Ji-han' takes first place in the Boss Election.]Seong Ji-han was able to finish the game on the last day with a gap of 15,000 points.
* * *
[For one month, the player 'Seong Ji-han' will randomly appear as a hidden boss in the Diamond League dungeon map.] [The player is in hideout state.] [The hidden boss name is displayed as ??.]At the same time, the hidden boss status window appeared for Seong Ji-han.
[Hidden boss: Seong Ji-han] [Characteristics: One-hit kill] [Use skills: Hengsocheongun, Dark Soul Vortex, Red Thunder Cannon] [Attack power: EX] [Defense power: A] [Vitality: F] [Difficulty: Best] [Boss information: A supernova entered Space 4 as soon as the tutorial ended. He has overwhelming attack power that cuts down all opponents with one blow. Their vitality is weak due to the limitations of being a species at the lowest level. It is not a big problem for him who does not allow the opponent to attack.] [Eradication reward: 5 stat diamonds]'I only have three skills. I guess that's because that's what they used in the dungeon.'
He blows away most opponents with his Hengsocheongun.
I guess it's because I use the red thunder cannon on those who are a bit stronger, and sometimes if there's a unique race, I pull them into the Dark Soul Vortex and check them out.
Hidden boss Seong Ji-han only had three skills.
'Attack power is EX, of course, but… … Vitality F. 'That's too much.'
Is this because there are many alien races that quickly regenerate even if their limbs are cut off?
For Seong Ji-han, a human being, the evaluation of his vitality was extremely low.
The only thing that gave him a defense power of A even though he wasn't wearing any armor was.
It seemed like it was because of Dark Soul Vortex, a skill that could also be used for defense.
'Still, the extermination reward is good, so I think a lot of enemies will target it.'
Seong Ji-han, who tempted the enemy with stat diamonds.
Perhaps reflecting this, the reward given for defeating the hidden boss Seong Ji-han was enormous.
Even if the spirit of challenge fades due to EX attack power.
If you look at the stat diamond, your will to subdue will be rekindled.
'Now this guy will earn me experience and GP.'
A hidden boss whose face is covered in black shadow, possibly due to Hideout.
Jihan Seong looked with satisfaction at his avatar, which would bring him rewards over the next month.
at that time.
[The historical score of the special dungeon has been updated.] [The hidden boss can be additionally strengthened.]Was Seong Ji-han's score this time a record?
An option to further strengthen the boss appeared.
[Hidden boss ability enhancement] [Hidden boss appearance frequency increase]At the same time, two simple options were revealed.
'Of course it's down there.'
Seong Ji-han immediately chose to increase the frequency of his appearances.
A hidden boss with EX attack power.
If it got stronger here, the players' will to take on the challenge could have waned.
Rather than that, he often appears in dungeons and defeats more challengers.
It would be better to earn experience points and GP for Seong Ji-han, the main character.
[Hidden boss 'Seong Ji-han' is strengthened… … .] [With more races on Battle.net, more hidden boss 'Seong Ji-han' appears.]A hidden boss strengthened according to Seong Ji-han's intentions.
However, the reward did not end here.
[Special rewards from the Hell Demon Palace are given. You can select one of the items below.] [Rare stat 'Incendiary Fire' (possessed)] [Rock of Hell Demon Palace] [High-ranking Devil's Armor]'Special reward… … 'It's not really useful.'
If I hadn't received a rock-related request from Artmu, I would have had no choice but to choose the high-ranking devil's armor out of the three.
Of course, this armor was rated SS, so it didn't look like its performance was bad.
In the first place, it wasn't a particularly attractive option for Seong Ji-han, who doesn't wear armor.
When he was trying to select the rock of the Hell Demon Palace as requested.
[The manager of the Hell Demon Palace, 'Succubus Queen', shows great interest in the player.] [With her authority, she adds a 'Palace of Delight Invitation' to the Hell Demon Palace's rewards.]Among the special reward items, an invitation to the Palace of Delight has been added at the bottom.
Unlike other reward items, the letters flash in gold.
'I don't need this.'
However, Seong Ji-han did not even look at this direction and chose the rock of the Hell Demon Palace.
[Obtain the rock of the Hell Demon Palace.]Upgrading weapons comes first, rather than things like the Palace of Delight.
[Cleared the epic quest.] [Obtain 10,000,000 achievement points.] [Obtain the treasure chest of the Hell Demon Palace.]When choosing a special reward, this time an epic quest reward was also provided.
'It's a very rich harvest of rewards.'
After successfully receiving the achievement points, Seong Ji-han opened the treasure chest of the Hell Demon Palace.
OK.
[You will be given an invitation to the Palace of Delight.]"under."
A reward I hadn't even looked at before came out of the treasure chest.
Was this also a prank by the Succubus Queen?
"An invitation to the Palace of Delight… … "Out of bad luck, something like this happens."
Should I just tear this up?
When Seong Ji-han truly thinks so.
-Invitation to the Palace of Delight? master. That's very expensive.
"okay?"
-Yes. Palace of Delight… … A place where the pleasure of the entire universe is concentrated. It's a place that the universe's richest people cannot afford to go to. If you put it on the auction house, it will be sold at a high price.
"Hoo… … ."
Ariel heard this and quickly provided him with information.
"As expected, Queen. "I know a lot."
-… … Are you keeping your mouth shut from now on?
"okay. okay. "I won't call you queen from now on."
I guess I'll have to treat her like a queen later.
Thinking so, Seong Ji-han searched the Battle.net auction house for the invitation ticket to the Palace of Delight.
Then the price came out.
"… … 100 billion GP?"
It was far beyond his expectations.
"Why is it so expensive?"
[100 billion GP is still a bit cheaper. Did some of the rich people who were addicted to the palace of pleasure go bankrupt?]"This is cheap?"
[okay. If I tore it, it would have been a big problem, right?]Seong Ji-han nodded.
This thing costs 100 billion GP.
After all, the universe is so big.
Let Seong Ji-han register the product at this price.
"Wow, it sold right away."
In an instant, a huge sum of 100 billion GP came in after fees.
'I really don't have to worry about money anymore.'
Originally, I became detached from property after I reached a certain level.
Now that 100 billion GP has been added, there is no need to really worry.
'If I have anything to buy at Artmu's blacksmith shop, I'll have to use this money.'
Seong Ji-han thought so and asked Ariel.
"When can I get the Queen's Finger?"
[Log out first. That's how you contact the queen.]The Queen is contacting the Queen herself?
Seong Ji-han's mouth was itching to say that.
'I earned 100 billion GP, so I'll just be patient for a few days.'
Since the disaster that almost destroyed the invitation was prevented, it was decided to call the queen later.
Just like that, Seong Ji-han finished the special dungeon map.
[For the next month, a hidden boss will appear in the dungeon map.]From then on, the world welcomed the hidden boss Seong Ji-han.
* * *
-and… … Our party was wiped out again... … .
-No, what… … Why are NPCs so strong?
-Ah, don't come out of the sacred place! Why does the hidden boss appear so often?
Hidden boss Seong Ji-han, whose appearance frequency has increased.
Earth's Diariggers have been around since Seong Ji-han left the special dungeon map.
I suffered from measles once.
Seong Ji-han, the title of hidden boss, stands out in a flash.
Every time he swung his sword, all the players who were attacking the dungeon were cut down.
"uncle… … "I was just killed by my uncle."
Meanwhile, Yoon Se-ah, who logged out of Battle.net, also glared at Seong Ji-han.
"Why are you so strong, really?"
"okay… … "Why don't you go into the Void Veil?"
"You can't stay there forever. "As soon as he came out, he swung his sword and cut me up?"
"I'm sorry about that. Still, I think I earned experience and GP from my uncle. Then it will get better."
"That doesn't comfort me at all."
Meanwhile, Yoon Se-ah is looking at the DIA Leaguers' bulletin board.
Everyone said that their level dropped because of the hidden boss Seong Ji-han, so it wasn't an uproar.
"But perhaps because the reward is so good, there are people who want to catch it. "I'm working on a strategy."
"Stat Diamond is really good. hmm. however… … "Can you catch me?"
"oh. That's right. If it's an uncle, wouldn't an uncle win? Still, it's the main body. "Party with me!"
The diamond reward is perfect if you get it here.
Seong Ji-han immediately formed a party with Yoon Se-ah and tried to play the game.
[If you team up with player 'Seong Ji-han', you cannot meet the hidden boss 'Seong Ji-han.']Unfortunately, the Battle.net system blocks this.
"It's a shame. "I wanted to fight with you once."
Seong Ji-han saw the message and canceled the party again.
"Why are we playing games like we're having a party?"
"If Ariel brings me the Shadow Queen's finger, I'm going to go to the blacksmith shop."
"Aha, uncle. If I have a good bow, buy me some. lol."
"okay. "I'll take a look and buy it for you."
I must have earned 100 billion GP. I can buy you as much as Yoon Se-ah's bow.
When Seong Ji-han answered that kindly.
Ding dong. Ding dong.
A ringtone was heard from the wallpaper on the wall.
[Owner! Please look at my face! There is more than one guild matter to take care of!]Ding dong. Ding dong. Ding dong.
Meanwhile, Guild Master Lee Ha-yeon is banging on the bell.
His face was full of fatigue.
"hmm… … I left all the work to you. "I have something else to take care of."
"uncle… … "Hayeon, I heard you're going crazy because of work bombs these days, and you're ready to give up on work, right?"
"okay?"
Lee Ha-yeon shouldn't quit her job.
Seong Ji-han quickly got up from the sofa.
"All right. "Let's go down to the guild."
