Chapter 407
Episode 407 Dilemma (4)
Before playing [Dungeon and Stone], the main content of online games was PVP.
A game in which you choose one of the two factions when creating a character and fight for power while growing in another continent.
I remember that the taste of stealing the field boss by leading an expedition to the enemy camp was excellent.
PK is exciting too.
The field boss also hit the last hit and ate it sweetly.
On top of that, you can hear all kinds of rave reviews from players on the enemy camp?
‘It was a pretty fun game.’
If I hadn’t encountered [Dungeon and Stone], I might have been playing that game.
It was the best thing I’ve ever done.
‘……But if it continued, wouldn’t it have been brought here?’
It’s such a belated regret anyway.
The reason why the almost forgotten game suddenly came to mind is simple.
In a way, it has a lot in common with the current situation.
Currently, the Dark Continent is occupied by Noark forces.
Our expedition is now like stepping in secretly there.
Besides, more than anything…….
‘That’s because the method used there works well.’
I feel the taste I felt while playing the game.
“……It’s a surprise attack!”
“How the hell are the enemies here…!”
“Front! Deal with the monsters in front!!”
“Ahhhhhh!”
The movement of the bewildered enemies.
“Profit! Cowardly…!”
“Why are you aiming for this moment!”
“I will definitely take you guys with me!”
pouring praise.
“You have defeated the Bone Dragonian. EXP +7”
And even defeating level 3 monsters that can be eaten like cake.
Of course, the hwaryong climax was different.
“That’s the essence!!”
Did you get a present for doing a good deed?
It was not enough to succeed in a surprise attack and PK without a single casualty, so even the essence was dropped from the monsters caught as bonuses.
The second rank 3 essence obtained on this expedition.
“Ashd, you go and collect the essence first.”
“yes.”
While sending the wizard to put the essence into the test tube, he quickly cleared the battlefield.
So loot isn’t just essence, right?
As always, PK’s main dish is separate.
“Keah kuhk… save me…”
“I know you can’t save me.”
What is it, he’s talking to a corpse.
“Don’t talk nonsense and look out of the way.”
After taking out the hammer, I pressed hard on the happiness button of the guys who were still holding onto the string.
Kwajik Kwajik Kwajik-!
A body that slumps and loses flesh.
After the direct confirmation kill was finished, the crew members were stripped of the equipment and stored in the common subspace of the expedition.
“Wheeyu, it’s no joke considering the equipment that’s in the subspace.”
“When I go back, I’ll take care of everyone’s share.”
The members of the crew burned with enthusiasm, as if their size was expected just by looking sideways.
It’s a natural thing to do.
Level 3 Essence is valuable enough, but it’s nothing compared to the equipment of 15 people on the 7th floor.
Above all, there was little effort put into the battle.
“The loot collection is over.”
“Are there any injured?”
“0 people.”
“Yes, I mean.”
I couldn’t hide my satisfaction and raised the corner of my mouth.
The battle ended neatly within 5 minutes without a single casualty.
“……Do you plan to continue fighting like this in the future?”
“Are there any problems?”
“No. It’s not like that……”
Aquraba asked something and kept her mouth shut.
I know this because I have experienced it myself.
That this was the best way to ambush those who were hunting carelessly in their own camp.
Well, that’s not without its downsides.
’30 minutes…….’
The battle was over in 5 minutes, but it took a considerable amount of time for them to encounter the monsters.
Of course, compared to the advantages, the disadvantages are not worth worrying about.
If someone is injured or killed in a fight, isn’t that a bigger loss?
However, I wonder if there is still a bit of regret left.
Kaislan carefully gave me advice.
“It was too hasty to kill all of the suits. We should have captured one to dig up information.”
oh it’s not like that
“I will do that from the next surprise attack.”
Kaislan’s complexion brightened as if he had listened to his advice.
“Wizards, burn the corpse and erase the traces!”
After that, after finishing cleaning up the surroundings, we hid ourselves in the darkness again and resumed our movement.
But was it because the surroundings were so quiet?
I heard a conversation between a member of the crew and I laughed.
“Have you seen it before? The equipment?”
“If you fight ten battles like this from now on… how much will it cost?”
Well, maybe we’ll find out sooner or later.
***
Our routine after arriving in the Dark Continent was like this.
trudge trudge.
Move while hiding in the dark.
“An enemy.”
When you find an enemy, wait for an opportunity until you fight the monster.
And…
“Now!”
When they were distracted by the monsters, they attacked with all their might.
Kwak Kwa Kwa Kwam-!
Whoa!
coo-!
It’s even easier after all the long-range firepower has been poured into it and the entire back row has been blown away.
“Let’s go!”
“Wipe it all away!”
Even when the melees rushed in, the front lines couldn’t even easily come to support because of the monsters in front of them.
The battle ended just like that.
‘Is this just the 10th?’
I repeated this over and over while moving, and the number reached double digits only while I was getting out of the dragon’s core.
“Wizard! Close the soundproof curtain so you can’t hear the sound!”
“Hey! Take it off! It keeps coming out with even the flesh attached to it!”
Once the battle was over, the crew started collecting loot and erasing traces.
As I was watching, a member of the crew grabbed the survivor’s hair and led him in front of me.
“Captain! Here comes the one I spoke of!”
“Good work.”
“It was nothing.”
From the second battle, I always keep one person alive and dig up information.
Hey, in case you didn’t know
A labyrinth is a place that is not strange no matter what variables arise at any time.
You should not neglect to gather information on a regular basis.
In the first place, I’m not the one doing the interrogation either.
“June.”
“Leave it to me.”
If you leave it to the official information extraction standard of our expedition for a while, the information will come out and organize itself after a while.
For example, the guys who were hunting on the 8th floor were the best of Noark.
That’s why the base is empty.
All that useful information came out like this.
However, the problem is that there is no new information update because there is no one who knows more these days
.
It’s been a while since Jun called me during the interrogation.
I wanted something, so I went there and found the tied-up survivor still alive.
It means that meaningful information occurred in this interrogation.
“Tell me. What did you find out?”
“It’s a little vague to say I found out.”
“Ambiguous…?”
When I asked with a tilt of my head, Jun moved his gaze to one place. Following that line of sight, I see a stone that glows and oscillates lightly.
If you are an explorer, that thing you cannot know without knowing.
“Message Stone…?”
“This item was in possession of Lee.”
“That means…”
“Yes, someone contacted Lee Ja. What do you think?”
At the same time as Jun asked, the message stone vibrated once more.
Geeeeeeeing-
How many more times will this vibration ring?
I can not know.
That’s why you have to make decisions even faster.
Swoop.
He raised his hand slightly, gestured for time, and organized his thoughts.
‘Is it near or far away?’
Although it depends on the quality, the radius of the Message Stone is limited.
However, this is Noark’s territory.
It is possible that this contact came from very far away.
That’s why the royal family made an expedition and hit the base in the first place.
Magic Wave Emitter.
In modern terms, it is the very thing that plays a role similar to a transmission tower.
The guys who wrote the cheat key to enter directly on the 7th floor had a superpower coming in with a huge device that couldn’t be contained in the subspace originally.
Thanks to this, they were able to actively harass the royal army while freely communicating with troops scattered throughout the continent.
Jay Ying-
The sound of a bloody vibration spreads once more.
I ended up worrying and just checked a few things.
“Hey, where do you think this contact is from?”
“…Ah, it’s probably regular contact. To check the status of each troop!”
Hmm, that’s what I mean.
“What is the possibility that Jun will fuck us?”
“I think it’s very slim.”
In a situation where it is difficult to express certainty, this means that you are very confident.
“…… Ha I can do it! I’ll do as you say! So please kill me…!”
Listening to the voice of a man who longed for death rather than life, I finished my judgment.
Yeah, that’s because I think it’s believable.
“Okay, get in touch. If you ask if something’s wrong, I’ll say nothing happened.”
As I said that, I grabbed the vibrating message stone and thrust it into his face.
And…
click.
The moment you press the button and receive a call.
A man’s voice came from beyond the stones that emitted light.
[Finally got in touch.]
A heavy bass sound stuck in my ear somewhere.
As soon as I heard this, my heart started beating fast.
thump thump—
it was an unforgettable voice.
“Lee Regal Bagos… are you?”
Dragon Slayer Regal Vagos.
hard.
Yeah, you’re somewhere on the 7th floor too.
***
Entered this world and met many enemies.
Most of them smashed their heads, but unfortunately there are some who couldn’t because they lacked strength.
The Lord of Chaos, Liakis.
Body Collector Abed Necrapeto.
Annihilator Belveb Ruingenes and so on.
Even if you think about it right away, there are as many as you can think of, but among them, it is this guy who has the deepest resentment.
Dragon Slayer Regal Vagos.
The moment I heard that voice, my reason was paralyzed and my blood was boiling.
But…
aww.
Now is not the time for that.
He put more power into his clenched fists and cooled his emotions.
And…….
[Where are you now, Meiras?]
I focused on the conversation that followed.
“I’m hunting with my teammates at the dragon’s core!”
[…okay? Then, do you know anything?]
“You say you know…”
[All those who went to the dragon’s core are unable to contact you.]
“Is that so? I don’t know. I’m doing fine with no problems, really!”
Excessive tone of voice, as if begging for suspicion.
I thought it would even stutter, but isn’t this a little over the line?
The car I was thinking of.
Swoop-
Jun quietly lifted an awl lying next to him, and his tone and posture were immediately corrected.
“But it’s kind of strange. Everyone can’t reach me. Could it be that you’ve been attacked by monsters?”
Clear pronunciation, as if he stuttered.
[No matter how pathetic they are, there’s no way they’ve all suffered.]
“…That’s right. But is there anything wrong there?”
Furthermore, the guy showed enthusiasm to ask for information in reverse.
[Not yet.]
“Thank God. This side I’ll look back and see what happened, so don’t worry.”
[Something like you?]
“…….”
[Don’t be fooled, wait. Because I sent troops there anyway. Join them and follow their words.]
“Yes, I understand.”
[Tsk, useless guys.]
Soon after, he clicked his tongue and cut off contact unilaterally, and Jun carefully opened his mouth.
“Sorry. It would have been nice if we could have found out how many troops were sent this way.”
“Yes, that’s right…”
“…Where are you uncomfortable? Your complexion doesn’t look good.”
“Never mind. It’s nothing.”
It’s just that I’m having a little hard time holding back my anger.
While I was listening to that voice, the day’s events came to my mind vividly—
“Oh no.”
Just then, a shout was heard from behind.
Whiik.
I quickly turned my head and saw Erwen standing there.
Took.
It looked like he was holding something with both hands, but what he was supposed to be holding fell to the floor.
Normally, if it was a mistake, he would bend over and pick up the item again, but Erwen stopped and stared at me.
“Erwen? What’s going on here?”
Feeling suspicious, as I approached, I was terrified to notice Erwen’s strange behavior.
“Wait, you’re shaking…”
“That voice…”
“Calm down. Are you okay?”
“Just now! Ba-ba-just that guy…that’s him…?”
I still don’t know why.
“Yo dragon slayer Regal Bagos…….”
Erwen was terrified.
