Chapter 353
Episode 353:
Competitive Quest!
This refers to a quest performed together with multiple players.
A better term would have been cooperative quest, but at least X preferred to call it competitive quest.
why?
‘As long as you do well, you can monopolize the rewards.’
As many players perform together, the difficulty and rewards are beyond imagination.
The difficulty level of the quest basically starts from B+ rank.
Hot!
X held the seal with all his might.
‘I’ll sweep it all up!’
Different rewards will be given depending on the number of seals of hell!
This was not the time.
In order to monopolize, you had to receive quests more than anything else. For now, it would have been better to join those players.
X quickly changed his clothes.
‘I get tired if I reveal my identity for no reason.’
However, I wasn’t dressed too shabby either.
In any case, I had to give the impression that I had survived among monsters well over a thousand levels.
The purple cone hat and cape are the same. The highlight was the various accessories.
“uh? “I think I heard something over there just now?”
“monster? person? If it’s a monster, it’s a big problem…”
“Let’s all go together first.”
A cooperative quest that requires joining forces.
The players quickly joined forces. Each person picked up their weapon and headed toward the direction from which the suspicious sound had come from.
Flash!
A light that brightens the darkness. When the darkness cleared, there was X, making a groaning sound.
“Oh my gosh, I’m dying. “I’m dying…!”
X’s method acting began.
*
Giant guild The Elite.
Sterak, an executive and mage ranker.
He looked at the ‘Gate of Hell’, which was radiating scarlet light.
When the door on the floor opens, what kind of monsters come out?
My heart was already pounding.
‘But you have to be careful.’
Sterak looked around.
Approximately five hundred players. Even at this moment, the number of players was increasing.
This was because there were more than one dungeon connected to the ‘entrance of hell.’ Those who entered the heartland late were not in good condition.
“Gasp. “I barely survived.”
Sterak gave a disparaging look. Murmurs can be heard everywhere.
“Considering the mob level, A rank is unconditional, and an S rank quest may appear.”
“…Can we help?”
“Whatever it is, let’s do our best.”
“Oh, how many seals have you collected?”
Sterak snorted.
‘Unfortunately, it looks like the winner is our elite.’
Looking here or there, there is no force that can follow.
Currently, the number of The Elite guild members exceeds fifty.
It is a cooperative quest that involves many players.
The presence of a guild member who could completely rely on one’s back could not have been more reassuring.
“Even if it takes time, it’s rewarding to move forward safely.”
“So, that’s right. “It would have been unfair if he had died.”
Joy, joy, joy.
So, the way I looked at them was not always kind. The priestess pouted.
“Chi, someone thinks there is no guild.”
“If I had known this would happen, I would have prepared properly. “If you go through the dungeon too much, it’s a problem.”
“Still, I have to be thankful. Opportunities like this don’t come often, right? But… I don’t know why my stomach hurts so much just looking at them.”
Ultra-difficulty cooperative quest!
The news was spread outside through whispers.
I can’t stay still.
Those who received the information late each rushed towards the dungeon, but all dungeon entrances had been changed to off-limits.
A sigh pouring out.
The priestess continued.
“In the end, they ended up doing it all.”
Nod.
X, who was listening, muttered as if he completely sympathized.
“It’s really a great opportunity to do it all on your own.”
A space cut off from the outside!
I don’t know how many players will come in in the future, but I don’t think the number will exceed a thousand.
It’s not like there’s a thousand players in an alliance, there’s only about fifty elite players!
“It looks like the quest will start after everyone gathers…”
“Has anyone ever experienced a cooperative quest?”
“It exists, but it doesn’t play a significant role…”
“No. Just the experience helps a lot!”
A knight with a hesitant and naive look. He said, scratching his head under the pouring gaze.
“I once participated in a quest to liberate a flock led by War Machine. The level of difficulty was A-rank, but all I did was watch the action from the back…”
“But you know the flow, right?”
“that’s right. What we’re curious about is the atmosphere of cooperative quests. Even if we have a common goal, since the rewards are limited, we have no choice but to stab each other in the end, right?”
Sharp understanding.
None of the people gathered here were ordinary people. Even if we didn’t fight head-on, we entered the heart of the city after overcoming monsters well over level 1000.
“At that time, Kaimus’ image was very good. In fact, there was little opposition to War Machine monopolizing the rewards. “A few people complained, but it didn’t cause much of a fuss.”
The priestess sighed once again, feeling grounded.
“Ugh. What can you say in the face of overwhelming power? Even though everyone was dissatisfied, I guess they just put up with it. Well, I don’t think it will be much different this time either.”
Who would dare to stand up to the elite?
Even if they join forces to fight back, the remaining people will ultimately attack each other.
Soon, those who were standing in their seats stood up one by one.
“In the end, I’m the only one you can trust.”
“Let’s see how we can all survive without dying.”
“But wouldn’t it be better to combine the parties? First of all, there must be a lot of people…”
The only people left were the impressive knight and X. The knight asked while looking at X’s eyes.
“Are you alone there too?”
“yes? “Well, that’s right.”
“As expected, I feel sad being alone. “It doesn’t seem like there’s a shortage of tanks.”
In fact, tanking wasn’t even possible.
What is the level of the monster that appears? Defense and vitality were meaningless in the face of that difference.
“Anyway, is your vitality okay? “I heard you were out of breath a while ago.”
Award for acting of the year.
It seems that the man was completely taken aback by his all-out acting. X let out a chuckle.
“it’s okay. “It’s because I’m embarrassed.”
“If a scene like this unfolds, anyone would be embarrassed. By the way… if you don’t mind, may I know what your job is?”
At first I thought he was a wizard.
But other than that, there was no staff or wand in sight. The rings on her fingers seem overly flashy.
X cleared his throat.
“Hmm. “Well, I deal with mana here and there.”
Perfect!
The man absentmindedly snapped his fingers.
“Aren’t you a fortune teller? “They say fortune tellers wear expensive-looking fake jewelry to pretend to be popular… Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s fake.”
I spit out the words as they came to mind. The man hurriedly attempted to resolve the issue.
But X smiled kindly.
“A fortune teller. Well, you can think of it that way.”
Not only was I treated like a beggar, but I was also treated like a crazy person. As for fortune telling, it was good.
The man seemed to be curious about X.
“also…! “Then can you take a look at that?”
“Dots?”
“Okay, what will happen to me in this cooperative quest?”
Fake fortune teller X did not have the ability to see other people’s futures.
However, at least in this quest, the future of all the players gathered here seemed to be clear.
X scared the man with shining eyes.
“You had a lot of hemp on your face. First of all, you have to be careful about fire. You need to be careful with this kind of water too. Uh-huh, you have to be careful about electricity… and lastly, you have to be careful about grass poison, right?”
*
“What are you all?”
“I’m tired of that line now.”
“Just keep looking and you will know.”
Finally, the last players arrived.
“Here we come!!”
Then, as everyone expected, the ‘Gates of Hell’ began to shine more clearly.
Sigh!
As soon as the door opened, a strong flame rose from the crack. The players hastily backed away from the door.
“…what?”
“Isn’t that a skull?”
White bones were visible in the flames.
It was a human bone.
He seemed to have been fighting until the very end, and in his hand was an old sword.
Someone watching the scene nearby shouted.
“Other hand! “There’s something in the other hand!”
thud!
As soon as the skeleton got out of the door, the gates of hell closed again.
Players gathered near the skull.
Sterak held a note on their behalf.
“…I failed to seal the gates of hell.”
Tiroling!
Then a notification rang in everyone’s ears.
《Legion of Hell》
Legion of Hell that will bring destruction to the world. The warrior of the dead fought against them until the end, but it was not enough to fight them alone. He used the last of his strength to open a path to the entrance to Hell.
The sword is now in your hands. World peace is in your hands.
Condition: Eliminate Hell Legion Commander Helgasis
Difficulty: S+
Reward: Legacy of the Dead Vault of Hell Legion (Legacy and vault rewards are paid differently depending on achievements achieved.)
… Wow!
Cheers erupted from everywhere.
S+ Rank Quest!
There has never been such a huge hit.
Regardless of whether I succeeded or failed, just participating was like having a drink for the rest of my life.
Sterak’s heart pounded.
‘If you clear it, you can get ahead.’
It is more than enough to take back the position of the strongest guild that was lost to Pajukjise. Sterak’s face became sad.
He was drawing two pictures.
‘Clear the quest and monopolize the rewards.’
Legacy of the Dead and Vaults of the Legions of Hell!
These were rewards that I couldn’t understand right away.
However, considering the difficulty of the quest, it was worth aiming for a legendary level item if the unique achievement was guaranteed to be great.
“Isn’t this a dream?”
“I don’t know. “I am also very grateful.”
“Let’s all do our best and wake up!”
The commotion brought the players to their senses for a moment.
As the level of difficulty is high, it will not be an easy quest.
The priests were the first to start applying buffs.
“God bless the earnest!”
“Protect us from the flames!”
He left the guild party and was giving buffs to everyone.
It was worth it because power was precious.
Even if you hit the enemy, it was right to hit after clearing the quest.
[30 minutes until the attack.]
“Ugh, I’m nervous.”
“Are you recording?”
“Are there any mage streamers here?”
“If it had existed, wouldn’t we have known? “Anyway, we have to let the world know about our fight.”
The players relaxed by exchanging jokes and jokes. However, X’s expression as he watched them was not very good.
Shaking my head.
Everyone was clearly mistaken.
“Greed can only be wielded if you have the ability…”
X experienced S+ rank or higher quests several times.
Therefore, I knew the weight of this quest better than anyone else. Because I knew it well, I never let my guard down.
‘If you want to wake up while hiding your identity, you need to prepare in advance.’
Kuuk.
X clenched his fist.
Crumble.
Then a noise was heard from beneath X’s feet. It was quite loud, but no one noticed because of the noisy atmosphere.
Of course, it didn’t take long for other players to figure out what the noise was.
[10 seconds until the attack.]
“…?!”
Kuddeuk!
A loud noise coming from behind.
What are you talking about? There are still 10 seconds left? Everyone turned their heads in confusion…
“What the hell is that?”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
