Once the seal was lifted, the ghosts jumped out wildly. Although Elemental Sword, the use of Demonic Opening made Gwisal’s damage transcend imagination. The Nakujuk were frozen and smashed to pieces when attacked. Once in a critical condition, the Nakujuk were split open using Drastic Measures like a frozen mackerel. Meanwhile, some of the Nakujuk unfroze and rushed towards Ark but it was already too late. Gwisal’s sword flashed three or four times and they eventually collapsed to the ground.
“Sheesh, didn’t you do too much? We didn’t get a chance to do anything.”
Clack clack clack, clack clack clack clack.
Dedric and Deimos started complaining.
“Heh, I poured cold water on your fighting spirit. Sorry. But you’ll get another chance to fight.”
Ark started saying a monologue while putting his sword away. He was still paying attention to the filming of the movie. While his heart was excited, he deliberately put on a casual expression. 1 against 16. Until recently, it was something he never would’ve dared try. He only had his health decreased by 60%. So it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that it was a landslide victory.
“Indeed Ark-nim. You really are awesome!”
“He handled those many warriors alone…….it is the romance of a true warrior!”
Buksil and Sapjil clamoured together. Indeed, when would a merchant get to see such an incredible sight?
“This is not the time. Please hurry! I have to rescue the innocent people!”
Ark quickly searched the bodies of the Nakujuk warriors. As a humanoid enemy, they had dropped some equipment items.
Myutal’s Rapier(Magic)Weapon type: One-handed Rapier
Attack: 20~25
Durability: 23/25
Weight: 20
User restriction: Level 120, Agility more than 200
The sharp rapier used by the Nakujuk clan of the Myutal species in the Netherworld. As a lightweight weapon, it is very easy to use. When equipped with this and the Nakujuk’s agility, no enemy’s defense can hold out.
Dirty KeyA public key that can open the Nakujuk’s iron carriage.
‘Myutal’s Rapier? Although the attack is bad for its level, the option of addition attack speed it quite good.’
The reason for the Nakujuk clan’s incredible attack speed was influenced by the rapier. When equipped with two weapons with +20% attack speed, it would increase to 40%. With that incredible speed, Ark wouldn’t have been able to hold out against a barrage of attacks. It was an excellent choice to use the ice sword.
“Bona-nim, Bona-nim. Are you okay?”
At that time, Guran ran out of the forest towards the carriage. Then a boy who was sitting calmly in the carriage lifted his head.
“Guran, you’re alive!”
“Yes, the warrior Teacher sent helped defeat the Nakujuk clan.”
“Grandfather!”
Bona grabbed the iron window and stared at Ark with eyes filled with respect. Ark smiled and walked towards the carriage. He was looking for the lock when a sudden movement made he flinch. Inside the carriage was a woman wearing a white robe. She was not a Myutal. It was a user like Ark, and a woman that Ark was familiar with.
“La-Lariette-nim?”
Ark stuttered as he looked at her with a stupid expression. Lariette………the Lariette that he had last seen in Silvana was in the iron carriage. Lariette jumped and looked at Ark.
“Uh, how do you know my name?”
“Huh? What is that?”
Ark was puzzled until he belatedly realized that he had transformed into Dark Wolf.
“Ah, it’s me. I’m Ark.”
“A, Ark-nim?”
“Yes, thanks to several circumstances I’ve transformed myself into a wolf.”
“How did Ark-nim get here?”
“That’s what I want to ask you.”
Ark and Lariette looked at each other with bemused eyes. They never expected this chance encounter to occur. But wasn’t it more intense because it was unexpected? So far, 8 people have entered the Netherworld. No, it was 11 people if he included the pig brothers. 11 people out of millions of users. Who knew that they would meet each other in such a place? It was indeed a twist of fate.
“I’m here because of a quest……..chasing after the dead……..”
“Oh, wait a minute. I’ll open the carriage first.”
“Huk, w-what the hell? Ark-nim! Above! Look above!”
Ark had been taking out the key to open the carriage. Then Buksil suddenly shot out of the forest screaming. Ark reflexively raised his head. A dark shadow came shooting down out of the night sky. The huge monster roared and blocked Ark’s way.
“What, what the?”
“D-Draken!”
Guran yelled after he lifted his head. The Duerakan was a wyvern like monster. However, it was several time bigger and looked more ferocious than a wyvern. The Draken looked around before opening its mouth and shrieking.
Kurwarwarwarwa-!
Buksil and Sapjil screamed and flopped down onto the ground. Guran also became stiff. This was due to the immense pressure Draken used. However, one of the characteristics of Ark’s profession was a 50% resistance against Fear. With his passive skill ‘Courage,’ his immunity increased to 60%. Ark didn’t shrink away from the shriek at all.
“This bastard……….Dark blade!”
Ark jumped and swung Gwisal’s sword. The Draken grabbed the carriage and flapped its huge wings. Then the whole carriage was lifted. All Lariette could do was cling to the bars.
“Ah, Ark-nim!”
“Lariette-nim! Sprint!”
Ark tried his hardest to catch up but the Draken disappeared into the darkness. It all happened in an instant. Ark looked at the dark sky blankly. Then Buksil walked over and muttered.
“Yah, this time the scene is good. A fateful encounter and a kidnapping, how exciting!”
Ark’s lips crept up and then a cry echoed through the darkness.
“Do you want to go to hell?”
“Ready. Summon the slime!”
JusticeMan and the rehabilitation members took their positions. Then Jjak-tung tore the scroll.
-Slime’s Time NO.2 scroll has been used.
A huge slime appeared after they used the scroll.
“Here’s one. Let’s deal with it before another one comes!”
Owaaaaah!
The rehabilitation members flocked around it carrying weapons. After leaving Ark at Salrin’s Towers, JusticeMan and the rehabilitation members proceeded with the plan of mass producing Slime’s Immortality Pill. The Meow and thieves had already started gathering the ‘Fangs of a Hook Bat’ while the raccoons were gathering the ‘Roots of a Mandragora that has received moonlight.’ Thanks to that, Lancel Village had already gathered a considerable amount of ingredients. The remaining ingredients was the ‘Unicorn Horn’ and the ‘Corrupted Fairy Wings.’
But Ark was procuring those ingredients, so JusticeMan and the rehabilitation members started hunting for the Slime’s Essence in Cairo’s underground labyrinth. In fact, ‘Slime’s essence was the most important ingredient that they couldn’t obtain using money. So Ark made copied of the skill onto scrolls and the rehabilitation group went hunting slimes. However, the pollution slime had a property that allowed them to evade most physical attacks. Since the rehabilitation members didn’t have a magician, it was a difficult opponent for them. So they came up with this method.
“Now, start. Everybody ready! Haaayaahh!”
JusticeMan grabbed the slime with both hands and ripped it apart. Then something fell out of the slime onto the ground. The form of the slime was similar to a water balloon. Once it broke apart for a little bit, the viscous liquid fell to the ground along with the nucleus.
“Now, all together!”
The rehabilitation members stampeded towards the nucleus. Once it was destroyed, the slime exploded everywhere.
……………It was definitely a crude way of hunting!
Anyway, JusticeMan and the rehabilitation members manages to defeat the slime using this method. The great thing about Slime’s Time was that the slimes were friendly unless they were attacked. Therefore they could leisurely handle one slime at a time. In addition, sometimes the slime would handle the polluted skeletons that appeared.
“Wah, here’s another one!”
Roco was gathering the japtem and lifted up a Slime’s Essence.
“Hehehe, then that is the 5th one?”
“Once the rest of the ingredients are gathered then we can create 5?”
“Besides, the slimes give quite a lot of experience.”
One rehabilitation member yelled.
“Yesterday I’ve dropped by Lancel Village and they’ve gathered the rest of the ingredients. All that’s left is the Unicorn Horn and the Corrupted Fairy Wings…….”
At the moment, Roco suddenly felt a chill as she trembled.
“Roco, what’s wrong?”
“I don’t know. I just suddenly felt a chill.”
“Are you getting a cold? The weather these days is quite chilly.”
JusticeMan said with a concerned voice. Roco muttered in confusion.
“Really? Somehow I don’t think so……..”
“But what if it is a cold? Today you should exit early and take a rest.”
“Hrmm……….”
Roco scratched her head and looked uncomfortable.
‘That’s weird. Why do I feel so anxious? Somehow I feel like something very unpleasant happened…….perhaps something happened to Ark oppa? Don’t tell me he attracted another shrew fox? It can’t be…….ah, I can’t leave Oppa alone. The world is filled with too many foxes.’
A woman’s intuition truly was scary. It was particularly fearful when it came to another woman.
‘I have to stop it. This weekend I’ll drag him out on a date no matter what.’
The girl vowed to do so.
