Chapter 128

Episode 128.

Dohyun gulped at the chilling sight.

‘Should I be careful around that guy?’

He was already walking the path of Zick, but you never know.

That guy had natural talent for Zick but chose Volk just for romance.

Since he even promised to change it later if his mind changed, there would be nothing he could do if he really decided to go back.

The relationship between Guardian and Owner was based on trust.

Before, he used violence because lines were crossed, but breaking trust in their current relationship wouldn’t benefit anyone.

‘I need to be careful.’

He’s promising material for the legion that I somehow won over, so I can’t let him go like that.

It seems I need to work on solidifying Jihad’s commitment to his career path.

-Owner, aren’t we hunting more?

Those clear eyes looking up at him seemed to be asking to see another explosion – was that just his imagination?

“…We should go.”

-Yeah, I’ll bring more if you wait a bit!

Watching Jihad run off excitedly like a child going to unwrap Christmas presents, Dohyun was certain.

If he didn’t properly secure him now, this precious one would become spoiled and stray from his path later.

Dohyun’s eyes, gripping Cheonbyeon, filled with determination.

***

-What’s Kaiser up to these days?

-Right. He’s been quiet since entering Sargis three days ago.

Time flew by like an arrow, and three days had passed.

For some, it might feel like just a few minutes, while for others it could be quite a long period.

For the community people, it was the latter.

-Kaiser has had no news for three days?

-The person who graduated from Brion in 3 days? Does this make sense?

-He’s definitely plotting something. One hundred percent.

The Kaiser they knew was never someone who would spend time this peacefully.

Always the center of controversy, causing incidents and accidents.

How could they adapt when such a storm-like man had been quiet for three whole days?

-Graduating from Brion in 3 days was crazy, but Sargis is different lol. It’s a place where you need to survive for at least several months.

-For real lol. What could happen in just 3 days?

-He’s not plotting anything, damn it. After getting rejected by the Lord on the first day, he’s been hunting day and night.

-Ah, even Kaiser couldn’t handle the Lord~

-This is actually normal lol. What he’s shown so far was what didn’t make sense.

-For real lol. Now it finally feels like the game I know.

Of course, that was just their subjective feeling.

Realistically, the current situation was the right one a hundred times over.

Lords not meeting with players was quite famous, and three days was like a speck of dust in Sargis.

-Wow, but isn’t it a full moon right now? He’s not backing down and still hunting.

-Didn’t you see Kaiser’s video? Even with buffs, Lycanthropes are nothing to Kaiser.

-No, but he’s not just hunting normally. There’s a rumor spreading in Sargis that he’s throwing around fuses or something, but I don’t know what that means.

-Fuse? Dobong’s thing? How do you throw that? And why would Kaiser use fuses in the first place?

-Don’t know. Anyway, people are avoiding Kaiser because if you get caught up in it, you all die.

-A man should have pride, being scared of one lone wolf!! …but he was too big a man to scold like that.

They had to satisfy their boredom with such small rumors and chatter.

Their curiosity turned in another direction.

-What level do you think he reached?

-Usually hunting Lycanthropes for 3 days… around 37, right?

-Kaiser hunts alone though. Since it rises well until 37, he must have hit at least 38, right?

-No no, if it’s Kaiser, even 39 seems possible.

-Come on… It looks like he’s only doing field hunting, how is that possible? It usually takes a week.

-For real, going from 34 to 37 was easier than 37 to 38 for me. The experience requirement is insane, seriously.

-The difficulty really jumps from Sargis~

Just how many levels had he achieved in three days?

Like how celebrities make news just by shaking hands with citizens, since Kaiser was such a center of controversy, everything about him became curious.

-Level 39 at most, I bet my friend’s d*ck on it.

-??? : That’s when it started. Feeling empty down there…

-lol But 39 was already a high estimate, why does it seem low because it’s Kaiser?

└Come on, is Kaiser some kind of god?

└He is a god though.

└Kaiser, he is a god! Kaiser, he is a god! Kaiser, he is a god!

Thus, Kaiser, who had become the subject of somewhat different controversy than usual, was diligently hunting today as well.

* * *

Early evening, when the moon shyly peeked out just its edge.

—–!!

Today too, silent explosions were occurring deep in the forest.

Pitiful death cries of “gyaeng” and messages appearing simultaneously.

[You have defeated a Lycanthrope.]

…

[You have leveled up.]

“Damn, finally leveled up.”

Confirming all the Lycanthropes were dead, Dohyun collapsed on the spot.

He didn’t know how many this made.

In 3 days he must have killed at least hundreds, and now finding and herding monsters took longer than actually hunting.

Thus, Dohyun’s status window looked like this:

[Player: Kaiser]

[Level: 41]

[HP: 5,860 / 6,200]

[MP: 1,140 / 3,240]

[Stamina: 630 / 910]

[Class: Last Adventurer 【Successor of Kashiyar】]

[Titles (11)]

-Max Favorability from the Start?

-First Slayer

…(Expand)

[Stats]

【Strength: 95(+90)】 【Agility: 84(+90)】

【Stamina: 5(+94)】 【Sense: 42(+78)】

【Magic Power: 50(+79)】

Remaining Points: 29

‘Levels aren’t rising fast enough.’

Players arguing over 39 or 38 would be dumbfounded to hear this, but it was true that it wasn’t enough to satisfy Dohyun’s shameless greed.

Despite investing a whole three days, he had only gained 7 levels.

This was too big a speed difference from before.

Well, that aside…

‘Wow… Looking at it like this, it really is incredible.’

Looking at his status window, Dohyun couldn’t help but admire.

How could this be the stats of a level 41?

Even with 29 remaining points left over, he was going wild.

It was thanks to the tremendous spec upgrade he got from graduating Brion. Taksinel’s equipment played a big role, but the title also contributed.

[Unbelievable Numbers]

-Grade: Hero

-Description: A title given to those who completed trials with unbelievable numbers.

-Effect: Every time you achieve an unbelievable Achievement, all stats increase by +5.

-One other option.

[Currently applied all stats +5]

‘Seems like I only get growth-type titles.’

The title obtained from graduating Brion.

It was a growth-type title that increased all stats every time he achieved an unbelievable Achievement.

The all stats +5 wasn’t an option to ignore either, and considering the future, it was quite a good effect.

“Graduation reward…”

Dohyun muttered to himself and suddenly looked at an item sleeping in his inventory.

[Mirror of Revenge]

-Grade: ??

-Description: A divine mirror that overcame even death, blinded by revenge.

-Effect: When taking damage that would lead to death, shoots that damage as a shockwave.

After one use, the Mirror of Revenge breaks.

The reward received for achieving S Rank.

He had overlooked it at the time because things were so hectic, but looking at it now, it was a puzzling reward in many ways.

‘I haven’t heard of anyone receiving this kind of reward.’

Was it because Berjhe was the only S Rank in Brion?

But he knew that the reward Berjhe received wasn’t this kind of mirror, but a feather imbued with mysterious power.

There was one thing he could deduce.

‘They definitely said rewards get enhanced for unbelievable Achievements.’

He received an enhanced reward for achieving ridiculous numbers.

The same message had appeared in Raven too, but since Dohyun was the only S Rank there, there was no one to compare with so he didn’t know, but now he was certain.

Even with the same S Rank, rewards could differ based on the score.

‘Good to know.’

Probably no one else besides Dohyun knew this.

Dohyun grinned and closed his inventory.

He doubted there would be a situation to use it immediately, but the reflection effect was an overpowered option.

The flaw was that it was an option used with a “let’s go to the afterlife together” mindset, but even considering it was one-time use, it was such an incredible option that surely the day would come when it would shine.

-Owner, shall we bring more?

-Risa!

-Yes!

Then came Jihad’s voice, full of fighting spirit.

The gains were significant in many ways, but honestly, the biggest gain was that guy.

‘Now he’s not getting distracted.’

How much effort had he put in over the past 3 days?

He had been doing a praise relay, worried that Jihad might turn his heart back to explosives.

Even when Jihad just summoned undead, he gave praise like “This can’t be! Already 8 undead! Amazing! You really have the makings of a one-man legion!”

-R-really? A-ahem… I am somewhat confident in numbers!

-Ri… sa! Risa!

-Yes! How enviable to receive the lord’s recognition.

-Kehem!

Later, as he praised Jihad even for just breathing, Jihad’s complexion noticeably brightened.

Perhaps the praise he received in three days was more than all the praise Jihad had received in his lifetime?

‘Good thing he’s simple.’

Of course, things didn’t always go smoothly.

-Wow, the undead look so cool wrapped in darkness~ As expected of Zick~

-Darkness…? Bombs… Dark bombs…!

-…Damn it, Charlie!

-Are you truly going to use that magnificent legion for mere bombs? If that’s your intention, it would be truly disappointing. Since ancient times, all great figures have always had subordinates to guard their side. Would you prefer to have no one left by your side!

-Th-that’s not it.

When he made a slip of the tongue and stimulated that guy’s romanticism, he had to get help from Charlie, the expert in this field.

After going through several crises and trial and error like that, the current Jihad was born.

-Just trust me! I’ll bring them right away! Come, my lovely children, follow me!

-Yes! I’ll trust only you!

-Ri… sa! Risa!

Jihad was determined to bring monsters with the momentum of burying his bones in Zick.

Eliza’s acting, who wasn’t good at lying, was slightly flawed, but it was the result of Charlie doing too well.

Dohyun quietly gave Charlie a thumbs up.

“Charlie, good work.”

-It’s only natural, my lord. Please entrust this humble sword anytime!

He was a very reliable ally.

Just as Dohyun’s group was performing an unexpected comedy routine.

Ding-

The sky darkened, then the moon became clear and the forest filled with moonlight before a message appeared.

[The full moon rises.]

[Outlaws drawn by the moon’s energy reveal themselves.]

[The full moon’s energy is abundant. The outlaws’ souls grow thicker.]

It was the now-familiar appearance of the outlaws.

However, their appearance was somewhat different from the beginning.
