Chapter 122
Episode 122 X,
who had been listening with a serious face, sighed.
“This is a complete mistake.”
The reason why field monsters, including forest wolves, attacked together. X guessed that they had joined forces to keep the monsters that appeared in the dungeon in check.
But it was a wrong answer. The wolf howled gloomily.
-Dennis, the owner of the forest, was a friend to all of us. With Denise gone, it was natural for us to join forces. But to save Denise… we were too weak.
Denis, the master of the forest!
According to the wolf, Denis was a boy with the appearance of half man and half beast. A half-human, half-animal with the upper body of a boy and the lower body of a small deer.
Denise said that she had the ability to be nature-friendly enough to revive dead plants.
X thought hard.
‘If Rich kidnapped Denise…’
Denise clearly wants something, so she goes to work. Even X didn’t know what it was. The important thing is that if you defeat the clumsy Lich, the boss of the dungeon, you can rescue Denis as a bonus!
-Please, human. Won’t you help me save Denise?
《Dnis Rescue Operation》
Denis, the owner of the Patran Forest, was respected and loved by all living things. It is clear that the Patran Forest where Denis disappeared will quickly lose its vitality. But you have the opportunity to defeat the clumsy Lich and rescue Denise.
Conditions: Defeat the Clumsy Lich and Rescue Denis
Difficulty: B+
Reward: Familiarity with Denis Familiarity with the wolf pack in the forest
So there was no reason to refuse the quest.
X answered confidently.
“of course. “Just leave it to me!”
It was a simple quest where all you had to do was defeat the clumsy lich and save Denis.
But the difficulty level is a whopping B+. This meant that the clumsy Lich was a formidable opponent. X also had no intention of letting down his guard.
‘It’s time to show off my full potential for the first time in a while.’
The source of X that was hidden away!
When was the last time you used Bear Stance? Even my memory was vague. X has always continued to play in preparation for unexpected situations. Therefore, it was natural to save Bear Stance, which can nullify fatal debuffs.
However, the opponent, although clumsy, was Rich. It was clear that various curses, including dark attribute magic, would be used. My heart pounded as I felt like I had met someone I could show my full strength to for the first time in a while.
Not only are strong enemies not enough, but even quests!
The moment X raised the corner of his mouth, the wolf spoke.
-Thank you. By the way, how can you, a human, understand what a wolf is saying? Until now, Denise was the only one who understood what we were saying.
“Oh, there are unavoidable circumstances…”
I was at a loss as to how to explain this. Isn’t it too sorry to tell the truth that I was blinded by my stats and ate a wolf in the forest?
Still, since I had received the quest, I had no choice but to tell the truth.
The forest wolf, who heard everything about X’s actions, answered.
-Is that what happened? In that case, I guess you don’t have to worry too much. Eating and being eaten in an ecosystem is a completely natural thing. If you die in the forest, you will return and meet again someday.
“Phew.”
He was a forest wolf who, like old trees, valued the laws of nature. X breathed a sigh of relief at the easy-going response that made him feel like he was worried for nothing.
My inner worries have been resolved. Now all that remains is to defeat the really clumsy Lich.
“Then let’s go rescue him before it’s too late!”
“Crrrrrrr!!”
X left the safe area with the forest wolf.
*
Gooooo!
Blue flames burned from the eye sockets of the robed skeleton. The mana flowing around him was enough to guess his identity.
Richie spoke to Denise, who was struggling in the air.
“It is truly a semi-divine being. “What a mental strength.”
“Ugh…”
“But you’re so stubborn that it’s disappointing that your abilities are lacking. “How can you keep silent until the end, unable to see that your own death is just an inch away?”
Richie strangled Denise even harder.
Kekkek.
Denise gasped. This is a situation where Richie is literally holding Denise’s breath away. But what was more frustrating was Rich.
‘I can’t even see a small fragment of memory.’
We have been focusing on torture for several days already, but there has been no progress. He took advantage of the loophole and succeeded in subduing and kidnapping Denise, but getting into her head was a different matter.
Richie shook his hand and Denise fell to the floor.
“Noble being, I wonder how far your stubbornness will go. Since work is work, I will torture you with patience.”
“What an ugly guy….”
“Talk about whatever you want.”
Denis, who valued the laws of nature, and Lich, who denied death and revived the dead, were polar opposites.
Denise, exhausted by the lich’s curse, was barely able to breathe. Richie smiled unpleasantly at Denise.
“You just lie down helplessly and admire it. To see your close friend lose his life to My creation and be resurrected to serve Me once again.”
“…Friend?”
Denise listened with all her remaining strength to Richie’s words.
Crack!
I heard urgent footsteps getting louder. This was the presence of the largest wolf among the wolves in the forest.
‘no!’
Denise closed her eyes tightly. Although there was a difference in ability, the creatures of the forest and the lich did not have a good compatibility. It seemed like I was definitely going to lose.
But when I listened closely, I realized that the sound of footsteps was not just one sound. Who could it be?
thud!!
Before my curiosity arose, the iron door opened.
At the same time, an excited voice was heard from somewhere.
“found!”
You’ve been hiding right here!
It took several hours to advance through a horde of skeletons. After much difficulty, X finally found the boss room where the lich was hiding.
X, who checked the lich, stuck out his tongue.
“You’re clumsy, but you look really strong?”
“You have some pretty good skills, human.”
“Thank you for the compliment. But it’s still too early to be surprised.”
“Hehe, you arrogant mortal bastard.”
Richie figured out X’s power through the skeleton. The strength and speed derived from his excellent physical ability were definitely threatening. Even though he has enormous stamina, it would be dangerous if he allowed consecutive attacks. But that was all.
“You fool, you invade my land alone. “You could have become a warrior who would make a name for himself on the continent, but you kicked it away with your own pride!”
Creak!
The lich immediately fired a spell containing dozens of curses condensed at X.
I thought so. X shouted as if he had been waiting.
“Bear stance!!”
Coooooo!
X’s body began to expand rapidly. Muscles grow rapidly as blood vessels surge! At the same time, the entire dungeon was shaking from the huge wave of power emitted by X.
Richie was startled and took a step back.
“Where on earth do you get this kind of power?”
Did he hide this power while defeating countless skeletons?
That’s not enough, you’ve even nullified the curse? I have never seen such a person before, neither in life nor after death.
Even X himself couldn’t help but be surprised.
‘…I feel like I’ve overcome some kind of wall?’
Bear stance that doubles your strength. Thanks to this, X’s power exceeded 10,000 for the first time.
Perhaps because I entered the 10,000-unit category, it felt like I had opened my eyes to a new world. Richie shouted urgently at the unusual energy of X.
“I’m coming out! “My masterpieces!”
sparkle!
The jeweled staff the lich was holding glowed. Soon, it was the undead that appeared in front of the lich.
Sigh!
A skeletal horse snorting. The person holding the reins was none other than a high-ranking undead Death Knight!
“Yeah, I’ll be sad if you don’t show up.”
There are as many as three summoned Death Knights. It was such a great summoning ability that the name Clumsy Lich was not appropriate. Besides, Richie is still alive and well. It seemed like it would be quite difficult to team up with a Death Knight.
But X had already calculated even this.
X asked the leader wolf.
“Can you take on at least one?”
“Krrrrr!!”
The wolf in the forest was angry after seeing Denis’ exhausted appearance.
Thanks to this, his wildness deepened and his combat power soared, and thanks to this, he didn’t seem to be easily defeated by the Death Knight. X continued.
“Then I can take care of Richie and the other one.”
“Hehe, you foolish mortal bastard. “It looks like he was so scared that his head even stopped turning!”
Lich, who had regained his composure after summoning the Death Knight, smiled. It seemed like Seunggi had already come this way. X snorted.
“It’s not? “Is that correct?”
“Kyuu?”
Bright eyes.
Yongyong, who had been summoned before he knew it, glared at the lich.
“Kyuut kyuut.”
Unlike its owner, it is an ugly skeleton.
It seemed that not all skeletons were the same.
Richie was shocked to see Yongyong shaking his head.
Sweet, sweet. Richie said, his jaw joint shaking.
“De dragon? How can there be a whale in a shrimp fight?!”
“Let’s leave the chatter to the shrimp.”
“Kyunut!”
chuck! Leaving behind the startled Lich, X raised his sword and shield.
Denise’s condition did not look very good. If you defeat the lich, the dungeon is cleared. Although it was a shame to see so many mobs, it was necessary to rescue Denise as quickly as possible.
‘First of all, Death Knight.’
Scum!
As X rushed in, Yongyong and the wolf leader also rushed towards the guys in charge.
Shut up!
Just as the Skeleton Horse was about to react to X’s movements, an attack came from an unexpected range.
It was the Chukseonbeop, a swordsmanship from the Eastern Continent that broke prejudice.
[Fatal blow!]
[A confusion effect occurs on the Death Knight!]
X smiled and opened his mouth.
“Is it because they are high-ranking undead? “It definitely tastes like hitting.”
*
“Damn it!!”
Richie’s life was either long or short.
There was no day in my life as humiliating as today. It would not have been unfair if the divine attack using the attribute or the Life Vessel had been destroyed.
Puk puk!
His bones were being shattered horribly by just an ignorant swing. Seeing the bones crumbling so pitifully made me sad.
How on earth is this human being? Not only did he defeat the Death Knight in just 3 attacks, but he also inflicted fatal wounds on the Lich himself using only physical attacks!
Not only does the curse not work, but the magic resistance is so high that even when hit by an attacking spell, it doesn’t even show itchiness. After continued beatings, Richie’s jaw joint trembled sadly.
“Damn it… it can’t end like this…!!”
puck!
The final blow hit the lich’s head.
Tiroling!
A cheerful notification sounded to X.
[Your level has gone up!]
[Your level has gone up!]
[Your level has gone up!]
[Your level has gone up!]
[Your level has gone up!]
[Your level has gone up!]
[Your level has gone up!]
[ The level has risen!]
