The five men were waiting for the black scythe to leave.
"uh? Look over there. "A black scythe enters the house?"
"Until now, only women entered thatched houses."
"Is the Black Scythe trying to lure the orcs directly this time?"
"But why is that woman leaving?"
That time when I looked at it with incomprehensible eyes.
Kwazijic-
The sound of the door breaking was heard and a black scythe was seen jumping out.
"what? "Black Scythe is being chased by orcs!"
"Does that make sense? "The black scythe of the world?"
I've seen orcs cut off limbs dozens of times.
I am definitely not a person who will be scared by 10 orcs.
"uh? for a moment. "What is that guy chasing behind me?"
"The guy with the cane and the mask?"
"You look like you're over 2m tall?"
"I guess he's the boss since he's bigger than the other orcs?"
"boss?"
Their appearance and size were of a different class from ordinary orcs.
Moreover, a player who has played a lot of games can guess that the wand and the shaman-like mask are there.
What skills do you use?
"Could it be that you were summoning them and not at the orc regeneration location?"
just as expected.
The boss summons 10 additional orcs and surrounds the black scythe.
Kang-kwaang-!
A total of 20 orcs keep striking with their axes, and the black scythes trapped within them dance around.
"Crazy, you're avoiding all that?"
"omg… … "It's a monster."
While some were surprised by the Black Scythe's antics, others saw an opportunity.
"Guys. "This is not the time to be distracted."
"why?"
"That guy over there who I guess is the boss. "You're completely defenseless."
"uh? "Is that so?"
The Orc Shaman's attention was entirely focused on the black scythe.
If you climb over the barrier and hit the back, you may be able to steal the boss.
"What should I do? Should I still do it?"
"well… … ."
"The only chance is now. "Choose quickly."
"And what if I get caught by the black scythe?"
"I won't get caught. "You're busy dealing with orcs right now."
It certainly was.
There was absolutely no way to break through the orcs.
If it were possible, we would have broken through long ago.
"If you later ask why I stole it, you can excuse it by saying you were trying to save it because it looked dangerous."
"Oh, is that really okay?"
"how is it? Would you like to participate in the steal together?"
"I join in."
"me too."
The group that reached an agreement crossed the barrier one by one.
Like a stray cat, he quietly approached the Orc Shaman's back.
The guy is still focused on the black scythe, not knowing that there is an enemy behind him.
'Good.' If you do one, two, three, you're hitting.'
'okay.'
They exchanged signals with each other's eyes and adjusted their weapons.
'one two… … .'
The moment when they were about to attack the Orc Shaman at the same time.
'count… … .'
Darkness covered the front.
"uh?!"
"what!"
I was so embarrassed that the voice came out without my knowledge.
"Huh!"
The group quickly tried to cover their mouths, but the Orc Shaman had already noticed the enemy behind him and widened his distance.
"Chwiik? Chwiiiiiiiiik-!"
Are you angry that you almost got ambushed?
The orc shaman who was screaming loudly raised his staff high.
Tsuuuuuut-
As soon as the darkness became visible, the companions saw.
The orcs surrounding the black scythe were summoned in front of them.
"omg… … !"
"X haircut, X done… … ."
A situation where you are completely surrounded by 20 orcs.
"Chwiik! "Chwiiikik!"
Following the master's command, the orcs began cutting with axes at the same time.
Puk puk! Thump-thud! Byak-!
A dull sound was heard.
"Save me, save me!"
"Keck!"
A short scream was also heard.
There was also the sound of something crushing and breaking.
Unlike the black scythe, there was no ability to stop the men from simultaneously striking with an axe.
Since the group was having a hard time with five orcs, I said everything.
* * *
The orcs suddenly disappeared, but Ryumin did not panic.
Rather, he looked in the direction the orc had moved as if he had expected it.
The summons that were attacking you are surrounding someone else.
It was obvious who was surrounded.
These are the five people who made a mockery of themselves and Minjoo-ri.
'It looks like he was caught trying to steal an Orc Shaman.'
Ryumin deliberately dragged the Orc Shaman outside.
I could have killed him inside the house, but for the test, I pretended to be chased by orcs.
And they blocked the attacks of 20 animals and lured the 5 people.
'Are they really going to target the Orc Shaman? 'Wouldn't they aim for it?'
It was a kind of personality test.
To see whether or not he would try to steal the Orc Shaman while he was in danger.
result?
As you can see, it was as expected.
'also. It seemed like they would target the shaman.'
Because his personality was just within the expected range.
'The penalty for failing the test is death.'
I cast Night of Death just in time for them to surprise the Orc Shaman.
The day became dark and the orc shaman's aggro was directed at the five people.
As a result, without exception, they became minced meat.
I felt no sympathy.
Because they were people who tried to enrich themselves by taking advantage of other people's danger.
'If I hadn't been greedy, I could have lived.'
He definitely gave himself a chance.
A chance to live.
It was they who chose death.
Ryumin walked briskly while holding a sickle.
"Chwiik? "Chwiiik!"
An orc shaman spots him and holds out his staff.
Orcs rush in with axes in hand.
but.
Seogeogeukkeuk-!
The moment it entered Ryumin's range, a fountain of green blood burst out.
The orcs fell without even being able to swing their weapons.
No matter how many stick together, the result was the same.
It was cut mercilessly the moment it entered the intersection, like it was being ground in a blender.
Attack speed so fast that it cannot even be seen with the naked eye.
It may look that way because a translucent effect has been applied.
'But the attack speed has definitely gotten faster?'
You can clearly feel the difference from before.
'Bless and Swift, plus a 50% attack speed effect that increases at night.'
It was fast enough to be invisible.
"Chwiik?"
When all his summons were destroyed, the Orc Shaman opened his eyes in surprise.
"Chwiik! Chwiik!"
That's when the excited shaman tried to summon him again with his staff.
chin-
Ryumin reached in front of the shaman's nose in an instant with great speed and hung the sickle around the shaman's neck.
"bye."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Orc Shaman's head appeared in the air.
[The Orc Shaman has been defeated!] [Experience +37.73%] [Gold +4,000] [Your level has increased!] ['Bead of Eternal Sleep' has been acquired.] ['Mysterious Woodcarving Totem' has been acquired.] [' Obtained 'Lesser Blue Magic Stone'.] ['Stone of Balance' was acquired.] [Subquest progress: 2/4 Stones of Balance]After killing the shaman, the level rose to 33.
4,000 gold, balance stone, magic stone, etc.
There were many benefits.
The woodcarved totem, a unique material item, was also a happy harvest.
But there was one item that caught Ryumin's attention more than anything else.
[Bead of eternal sleep]- Category: Necklace
-Rate: Epic
-Effect: Each time a monster is killed, stack increases by 1 and durability decreases by 1. Replaces 100 stacks with 1 stat point.
-Durability: 1,000/1,000
-Restrictions on use: Regular grade or higher
-Description: A necklace with cloudy gray-white beads. It is said that when you kill an opponent, their soul is contained in the bead.
The Bead of Spirituality is a fraudulent item that gives stat points for every 100 stacks.
It had a similar effect to the absorption rune that the Black Flame Dragon had on his right hand.
The difference is that stacks only accumulate when you catch a monster.
'There's nothing better than being able to permanently increase your stats.'
However, the unfortunate thing is that it is a consumable item whose durability decreases according to the stacks accumulated.
'In other words, since the durability is 1,000, you can get 10 stats.'
After that, the necklace is destroyed, but so what?
They say your stats will permanently increase by 10.
'It's not a waste at all even if it's destroyed.'
But Ryumin was not satisfied with this.
'What if durability could be restored indefinitely?'
Rather than stopping at 10, you will be able to increase your stats indefinitely.
If only there was a way to restore durability.
'Of course I know how.'
Among the runes, there is a special rune that restores durability.
It takes 8 rounds to get it, so there is no way to do anything about it right now.
but.
'If you get help from the blacksmith class, you can reap the benefits until then.'
Blacksmiths have a skill called [Repair] that repairs durability.
Most blacksmiths initially earn pocket money through repair work.
If you provide enough items and receive repairs every round, you will be able to continue building up your stats.
"Black Scythe! Where are you in now!"
Min Joo-ri is looking around and looking for herself.
It seems to be difficult to find due to the Reaper's rune effect, which drastically reduces the recognition probability if you remain still.
I immediately unlocked the Night of Death skill.
"uh? Why does it keep getting darker and brighter?"
Minjoo-ri, who was confused, found Ryumin.
"Oh, you're here! "I've been looking for it for a while."
"As you can see, I'm busy."
In front of Ryumin was the corpse of an Orc shaman.
However, Minjoo-ri's reaction was calm, as if it was not that surprising.
"You finally caught it? But didn't you see anyone else? There were people trying to steal the Orc Shaman... … ."
"well. "Didn't you see it?"
"weird? I thought I heard a scream... … ."
Min Joo-ri expressed doubts, but Ryu Min remained silent until the end.
There was nothing good about showing the corpse.
"Hurry up and go catch the next boss."
"yes!"
* * *
[The Orc Archer has been defeated!] [Experience +37.73%] [Gold +4,000] ['Agile Archer's Boots' have been acquired.] ['Rust Arrowhead' has been acquired.] ['Lesser Green Magic Stone' has been acquired. ] ['Stone of Balance' has been acquired.] [Subquest progress: 3/4 Stones of Balance]As soon as I saw the third boss, I killed it right away.
Unlike the Orc Shaman, there was no reason to drag on.
'Should I look at some items?'
[Agile Archer's Boots]- Category: Shoes
-Rate: Epic
-Defense: 60
-Effect: Agility +10
-Durability: 1,000/1,000
-Restrictions on use: Regular grade or higher
-Description: Boots said to be worn by agile archers. The more agile you are, the more agile you become.
Epic shoes that increase agility by 10 have been released.
Since the one I was currently wearing was normal grade, there was no reason not to change it.
'First, separate the lowest grade green magic gemstone that was embedded… … .'
I combined the low-grade green magicite I just obtained.
[Combination successful!] [The 'Dexterity +4' option is added to the agile archer's boots.]'With this, I've caught all the mid-bosses.'
Now all that's left is the final boss, High Orc.
Unlike other bosses, this one applies the time attack rule.
'We have to catch him as quickly as possible in the shortest possible time. The faster you do it, the bigger the reward you get.'
The highest time in the previous episode was 43 seconds.
Although it has been held for 99 sessions, it has never been shorter than this.
Nevertheless, Ryu Min was confident of setting a new record.
'Because I have Minjoo-ri's buff.'
Since Minjoo-ri has a buff that he did not receive before, a new record is a given.
'But if possible, it would be better to shorten it even further.'
In order to squeeze out as many records as possible, Ryumin decided to postpone the High Orc hunt until later.
'First of all, since I have a lot of time, I have to raise my level to the maximum and then catch it. 'Use the orb of eternal sleep to a degree that it will not be destroyed.'
I planned to catch it after raising my stats even a little.
To break the highest record that has never been achieved before.
