Chapter 509
Episode 509 Grave (1)
The basic form resembles a Frogman.
The stomach part is round as if it were full of air, and there is something similar to a sucker attached to the knuckles of the fingers.
Even the shape of the face is similar.
However, his skin is gray rather than green and he is not holding his trademark harpoon.
Also crucially.
‘wing……?’
As if cut and pasted with scissors, wings with a heterogeneous atmosphere hung on the back.
[Cheerreuk!!]
Within seconds, those clinging to the wall flapped their wings and used their strength to come up on the deck at once.
So it’s not decorative wings, right?
“Emily. What’s your grade?”
I hurriedly came to my senses and checked the grade with Amelia. Of course, it is impossible to accurately measure the grade with [Crisis Detection], but…
“It must be below the 7th grade. Seeing as I don’t feel any threat.”
It can be easily grasped through big data.
“Below the 7th level…”
I hurriedly placed my order as I saw dozens of monsters staring at us on the deck.
“Don’t rush! Get information about them first!”
“Ugh!”
Einar, who was about to run away immediately, flinched after hearing my instructions.
That’s right, but you listen well.
“Behel—laaaaaaa!”
As soon as I moved forward, raising the threat level with [Wild Eruption], the unknown monsters immediately started attacking.
Their flat hit was completely different from what I thought.
It has neither teeth nor claws.
It’s not like he’s holding a weapon like a harpoon in his hand.
So I was wondering how to attack.
Swoop.
As soon as they do cat pose and lift their hips.
Jijijijik-!
A thorn-shaped projectile presumed to be a lightning attribute is created in the air and fired.
As it was a level 7 or lower monster, of course there was no damage.
First of all, I blocked most of them with my shield, but even those that couldn’t block them couldn’t pierce my skin.
But…
‘What is this bastard…’
My body stiffened.
It wasn’t because of an unknown effect, such as ‘paralysis’ or ‘electric shock’.
It was just that I was so surprised.
“Hey, Mr. Yandel… That’s what the monsters just wrote…”
Yeah, seeing that you’re doing this, I’m not mistaken.
Erwen completed the speech in place of Versil, who was at a loss for words.
“It looks like Fleminas’s [Thunderthorn]…?”
7th grade monster Fleminas.
A lightning attribute monster that appears in parts of the 3rd floor and 4th floor.
But this guy uses a skill unique to another species?
‘Could it be a high-ranking mutant?’
Suddenly, I thought about it, but it couldn’t be.
That’s because all the 10 or so that climbed up the deck used the same skill. If you say
, ‘Another monster that uses the same skill…’,
what about the other skill?
It did not attack at all, and as a result of checking this and that, I was able to find out a surprising fact.
“That’s… the Iron Falcon’s [Iron Falcon].”
“Oh! That’s a superpower I know! Isn’t that the [bubble bubble] of Seawurm, a 6th grade monster!”
“That… it’s not 6th grade, it’s 7th grade…”
All three of this guy’s active skills belong to different monsters.
I wondered what the passive would be like, but unfortunately it wasn’t easy to figure out.
So, with the thought of trying to catch one, I swung the hammer.
?The attack was missed by [Rotten Mucus].?
Is the passive passive Frogman?
How come they look similar?
what happened Now we’ve got everything to figure out.
“The investigation is over. You can kill everyone now!”
“Really!”
As soon as my permission was given, Einar rushed out and won the achievement of being the first to kill the first monster discovered.
But the problem is…….
?You have killed McGuri.?
I guess I didn’t get any experience points?
No matter how low the 7th grade is, now I’m used to that feeling, so I’m going to feel it a little bit—.
?No.9999 Beginner’s Luck has been activated.?
I stopped thinking and checked ahead.
“…Essence!”
Hey, the real essence comes out.
“…… Versil! Hurry up and put it in the test tube!”
While hurrying to give instructions to the magician, he thought about it unconsciously.
‘If this happens, will Frogman’s [rotten slime] attach to one of Seaworm Iron Falcon Fleminas’s actives?’
……Perhaps the whole training combination setting will change.
***
One battle is over.
The loot is one green essence.
I’ll have to check the details, but it seems to be [Iron Falcon’s] Iron Falcon for some reason.
Because [Iron Plate Feather] was the green essence.
“How many Versil test tubes are left?”
“Twenty-seven outlines.”
“Weren’t there 20 that Melves applied for?”
“In case you didn’t know, I brought everything I had.”
“I see…”
“What should the examiner do after collecting?”
“You keep them. It’ll be easier to organize them if you put them in one place.”
After solving the test tube storage problem, I hurriedly asked my colleagues.
“Did everyone feel it? The first time I caught that guy…
”
“Huh? Did everyone do that? I thought it was because of my mood…….”
Seeing that everyone didn’t feel the experience coming in, it became clear that the experience didn’t exist.
‘This floor has a unique concept…’
A monster like a chimera.
And it doesn’t give you any experience.
Because of that, I feel like I’m losing my pulse somehow.
If all the monsters appearing in this layer are like this, it means that there is no new skill that I was expecting a lot.
But on the other hand, I think this way.
“…Monsters with skills of different species appear.
Maybe something really big is coming.
That’s because it’s much more helpful to create a fraudulent combination than a trivial new skill.
Should the customization function be opened?
‘Even if it’s just a steel giant… If I can only eat actives without passives, the weapon restrictions will disappear.’
In a similar vein, there are many essences that were not included in the final tree because they liked either active or passive, but lacked stats or other parts.
‘But what if [Giantness] could be added to such a passive skill?’
The high point of the character will go up even more.
Just looking at Oak Heroes, the passive is just a bonus.
[Hero’s Path], which increases body value as health decreases, is not a bad skill, but it is basically a 5th grade essence, so its performance is inferior.
The basic stats of Essence are also on the low side.
If it wasn’t for the linkage between [Giantness] and [Unity], the essence of better specs would be widely spread
…
I can not know.
Maybe only the people I met this time are special.
Others may be armed with new essences, and it is possible that this is the end of encountering a whole new entity.
But…
‘It’s fun.’
As a player who loved [Dungeon & Stone], my heart is pounding.
What is in front of this?
Unknowingly, I am looking forward to it and my fists are getting stronger.
But that shouldn’t be too loose.
Because the unknown is both an opportunity and a crisis.
“Unfold the sails!”
After the deck was cleared, the voyage resumed.
Perhaps this area is the habitat of the electric frogs we saw earlier, and they kept popping out from the sea and coming up on the deck.
And this time, they hunted with ‘Distortion’.
?Versil Gowland has cast the 6th grade space-time magic [Upper Distortion].?
Isn’t that a new monster?
By-products are sure to be sold at a high price to the Mage Tower.
“Hey Bjorn!”
“If you’re bored, at least clean the deck.”
“That’s not it, I have something to say!”
“…Try it.”
When I was continuing my exploration without incident, Einar suddenly asked me this question.
“What are you going to name these guys?”
“name……?”
It was something I hadn’t thought about at all.
How were the monsters named?
“Do you know Erwen?”
“Uh… well…?”
Unexpectedly, Erwen, who didn’t know anything, didn’t know anything about the origin of monster names.
The same was true of Bersil, who was a wizard but was a player.
“That’s… a problem I’ve never thought about before… wouldn’t the person who first discovered it build it?”
“Hmm… that’s right.”
At Versil’s words, Amelia, who was assisting in the navigation next to Auyen, approached with interest.
“Nari.”
“……huh?”
“How about Nanari? The tone is good and… I think it has a cute feel to it.”
He really likes this.
“…name monsters, not cute ones. Emily.”
“…But isn’t it the heart of the person who found it?”
“That’s right.”
Looking around, everyone seemed to be interested in naming the newly discovered monster.
After all, everyone is an explorer.
I decided that it might be a motivation for future exploration, so I laid the board.
“Everyone, if you have anything in mind, tell me. I’ll vote after candidates one by one.”
“Voting… Fair. I’ll go with Nanari. And I’ll give 10,000 stones to those who vote for Nanari.”
“I said to vote, not to buy tickets…”
“I didn’t even say not to buy them.”
“……do whatever you want.”
There was a fairness issue for a while, but starting with Amelia, the members also came up with names they thought of.
“Ultime Sundra! How is it! Isn’t that a strong name?”
“But it’s a monster that’s not even 7th grade. Why don’t you pick the characteristics instead? Seaworm Iron Falcon Fleminas An object with the ability of Frogman…….” “Is that an object…?
”
“Seafalcon Frogman!”
“……huh?”
“Seafalcon Frogman! Isn’t that pretty cool?”
As soon as I heard it, my head went blank, but surprisingly it was well received among the members.
“Oh! That’s nice too! What a strong-looking name!”
“…It definitely catches my ears. Even the appearance of the monster reminds me of it.”
“Isn’t Nanari better? I’ll give you 20,000 stones.”
After that, various names went up and down as candidates, and finally it was time to vote.
And the result was…
“McGuri seven votes. Mr… Falcon Frogman three votes. Nanari two votes, Kiruru one vote.”
“Yes? That’s strange. How come thirteen votes come out with seven people?”
“Ah Versil, didn’t you know? It’s written in our clan bylaws. The clan leader’s vote equals the number of members in the clan.”
“……It’s far from being democratic!”
I lowered my voice coldly.
“Democratic? What is that?”
“Oh, that’s…….”
Versil hesitates after realizing that he made a mistake. Yes,
players should hide those things well.
This is a world without ideas like democracy.
“Okay then, it’s over. From now on, their name is McGuri.”
That’s how the name of the first monster discovered was decided.
McGuri.
It was a rough name given to the fact that it resembles a frog with seagull-like wings, but it doesn’t matter much
. ***
“Then everyone go to their respective positions and get to work!”
Immediately after giving the order to disperse, Erwen went back to the observatory, Auyen and Amelia went to the height,
and Versil went fishing again and collected samples .
“Einar, don’t play and clean
the
deck
. ”
..Eh?”
“Misha… You stand here on the deck and deal with monsters when they appear.”
“Uuuu! I can do that too. Let me do it!!”
“Write it!”
Anyway, everyone started doing their own thing in their place again, and I went around like a hanryang to check if there were any problems with the ship.
While doing so, a call came from Versil
. Would you like to see it?”
“Did you find something?”
I quickly went and Versil handed me an item surrounded by floats pulled from the sea.
“How about a picture I just uploaded? Don’t you think they’ll sell for quite a bit when you go back to the city?”
“…Paintings?”
“Yes. Although it looks like the sea, the paper is fine. It didn’t get wet at all.”
Certainly… if it’s an art piece from a labyrinth, it seems to have a high value
,
but …
“…….”
A man and a woman who appear to be his wife,
and
a crudely sketched portrait of a girl smiling brightly in between
.
..”
“Are you… someone I know?” It’s a
little hard to say someone I know.
I don’t know why this was discovered here.
”
For now.” It was several years ago.
It was a family portrait of Hans A, which had been thrown away carelessly.
