Monster Domination: Game’s Strongest Episode 11

As soon as the event started, Yu Minseong’s broadcast was flooded with a torrent of chat messages.

─The event scale is insane lol

─Wow that’s insane lol

─Isn’t this like a recipe for the village’s destruction? lol

─What kind of beginner village event is this lololol the devs have seriously lost their minds lolololol

─Ugh I really fucking want to participate so badㅜㅜㅜ

And when the Goblin Horde revealed itself beyond the horizon with clouds of dust, people were shocked, then soon began to mock.

─Whoa dude lol how many goblins is that lol

─There’s gotta be at least thousands of them? lol That’s seriously a massive horde lol

─Wow, using an AOE skill there would feel absolutely amazing lol

─But the quantity is fucked, so why does it look so pathetic lololol

─The event quality is pretty sick, but a goblin is still a goblin lololol

Goblin.

The overwhelming patheticness that those three syllables conveyed.

Thanks to that, Yuhan’s broadcast was filled with mockery and contempt.

To most of them, goblins weren’t particularly scary creatures. And unlike the actual Users, the viewers lacked the vivid sense of being there.

But as the goblins began to draw closer, the viewers too started to feel the Frenzy of the goblins in the event.

─Holy shit… But is it just me getting a little scared??

─Wow… What’s with their expressions??;

─No, this is fucking scary? Right now?

─The streamer is totally scared shitless too;;

─Something’s different? Are those really goblins??

Just as they too indirectly felt the majesty of the Goblin Army.

Garuda’s Breath Attack that dominated the battlefield erupted.

KWAAAAAAANG!

Tremendous sound and power to match.

The gaze of Yuhan the streamer and all the viewers was drawn to that spot.

─???????

─What was that just now;;;

─??? What was that??

─Crazy what kind of power is that;;;

─What the hell in a Beginner Village;;

─What? Who did that?

─Didn’t some golden bird shoot something like a breath attack?

─Was there a bird like that in Rudenvil Village???

─I just joined the stream, why is fried chicken suddenly shooting breath attacks?

└Fried chicken, I agree lol

└No, but it really was golden colored so it did look like Hwang-ol ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

─Is it a pet???

└No way, that doesn’t make sense. I’ve never heard of a pet with that kind of power

└Wouldn’t it be possible if it’s Raina’s pet?

└Raina is ranked 1st in Tamer rankings, you fool. He’s bragging about a rank 1 pet in Beginner Village

─Then, was it used by an NPC?

└Probably. Otherwise it doesn’t make sense.

└Wow NPCs do stuff like that too? This event was really amazing

Garuda’s exploits decorated not just the broadcast but the community as well.

Most people thought that wasn’t a user’s skill but an NPC’s skill.

Because it didn’t make sense.

Because they couldn’t believe a user who was barely level 10 could use such a skill.

No, to be precise, they didn’t want to believe it.

The emergence of a new powerhouse who possessed such skills despite being just a beginner.

And Kairen, who had intentionally kept his distance from Garuda while hiding that he was its owner, muttered quietly.

“It was a divine move.”

30 minutes before the goblin invasion, he reflected on his choice while wearing the smile of a strong player.

* * *

30 minutes before the goblin invasion.

The favor Kairen asked of Daron wasn’t particularly unusual.

“Daron sir. I want to change jobs to Tamer right now.”

“Right now?”

“Yes. I want to learn Taming skills. Without skills, I can’t control Garuda perfectly.”

“Hmm. What do you mean by that… Ah! You were a beginner adventurer!”

Daron let out a hollow laugh and shook his head.

Because he was so exceptional, he had unconsciously made a mistake.

Thinking this guy wasn’t a beginner adventurer but already a skilled adventurer with a profession.

“Certainly, changing jobs and facing this danger would be a much better choice than facing it as a beginner adventurer.”

“Yes. That’s why I urgently asked you, Daron sir. You would know how to change jobs to Tamer.”

“Of course I know! I’m the one in charge of that! The method to change jobs to Tamer isn’t too difficult. You just need to go to Southern Mountain and bring back the item I requested.”

“Excuse me?”

Kairen couldn’t hide his troubled expression at the Quest that seemed like it would take longer than expected.

Southern Mountain was a place he had been to once before.

It was impossible to go there and back within 30 minutes.

“Hehe. Right. You’ve already been there once before.”

Unlike the serious Kairen, Daron continued with a light laugh.

“And you’ve already brought back what I requested.”

“…!”

Kairen’s eyes widened as he finally understood Daron’s words.

“You’ve already completed the job change conditions for Tamer. Congratulations. From now on, you are a Tamer.”

[Congratulations! You have received Daron’s recognition! You have changed jobs to Tamer!]

[You have acquired the skill, Taming!]

[Taming (Active)]

Tame animals and monsters to make them your pets.

You can give more detailed commands to tamed pets and use your pet’s skills.

Taming is affected by affinity, and higher grade monsters are more difficult to tame.

Currently tamed pets: 1

Currently tameable pets: 1

Mana cost: 200

Cooldown: 24 hours.

[You have acquired the skill Communication!]

[Communication (Passive)]

Enables communication with monsters and animals.

Affected by affinity, and communication may be impossible if affinity and level are relatively insufficient.

Communication becomes possible even with pets that are far away or have disappeared from sight.

[Hidden stat, Affinity has been unlocked!]

Pleasant sounds rang out several times as job change effects sparkled around Kairen’s body.

“Thank you! Daron!”

Kairen bowed deeply, expressing gratitude for the job change that had been easier than expected.

“Not at all. I’m the one who’s truly grateful that you’ve chosen to walk the path of a Tamer. Normally I should give you a thorough explanation, but given the current situation, would it be alright if I explained the details later?”

Daron smiled faintly while continuing to turn his head, still concerned about the village.

“Of course. Thank you for helping me even in the midst of all this.”

“Not at all. Well then, I’ll see you later.”

After the brief farewell, Daron hurriedly headed down to the village, and Kairen watched his retreating figure before reaching his hand into the air.

Garuda, who had been flying in the sky, quickly descended and perched on his arm.

(Congratulations. Now you’ve truly become a Tamer.)

Perhaps feeling much more familiar now.

Garuda licked his forearm with her tongue and nuzzled her head against him.

“Thank you. As you said, I’ve truly become a Tamer, and now I can learn about you.”

Kairen smiled lightly while stroking Garuda’s head with his other hand.

Until now, he had been Garuda’s master, but he couldn’t know everything about Garuda.

Name: Garuda (Legendary)

Owner: Kairen

Species: Divine Beast (Immature)

Level: 10 (Pets cannot exceed their owner’s level.)

Gender: ♀

(You have not learned Taming Skills. All additional information will be unlocked when you acquire Taming Skills.)

Garuda’s status window, which had been hidden before.

That status window now appeared different, and Kairen, who slowly read its contents, wore a mysterious smile.

* * *

And now.

Right after Garuda used her skill on the goblins, the battlefield fell silent as death.

Users, NPCs, and goblins alike.

Everyone stared at the legendary being in shock.

The enemies were terrified, while allies were in awe.

While everyone’s hearts were pounding as they looked at Garuda.

That included Kairen as well.

“Hah. So this was her level?”

Kairen’s lips trembled as a chuckle escaped him.

He had held expectations.

It was a legendary pet’s skill, and Sacred Bird’s Breath was a majestic skill name.

However, this exceeded expectations.

With just one skill, dozens of goblins turned to gray dust.

The goblins lucky enough to survive wet themselves and collapsed to the ground.

The power to break the enemies’ fighting spirit with just one skill.

[Level Up!]

[Level Up!]

“This is Sacred Bird’s Breath.”

At the pleasant notification, Kairen smiled with satisfaction and looked up at Garuda, who had soared even higher to avoid any potential attacks.

Name: Garuda (Legendary)

Owner: Kairen

Race: Divine Beast (Immature)

Level: 12 (Pets cannot exceed their owner’s level.)

Gender: ♀

Additional Information.

HP/MP: 1,000/2,000

Skills

Sacred Bird’s Breath

Divine Beast Garuda condenses surrounding energy and releases it forward. Powerful storm energy penetrates the battlefield.

Mana Cost: 2,000

Cooldown: 30 minutes.

Since he became a Tamer, Garuda’s status window was updated, revealing the previously hidden HP, MP, and skill window.

Just one skill.

A skill that completely drained mana with a single use.

A skill with a 30-minute cooldown.

But Sacred Bird’s Breath had shown power worthy of those restrictions.

(Well done, Garuda. Rest now.)

(Yes. I wish you good fortune.)

With Garuda’s response, he nocked another arrow to his bowstring.

The enemies had lost their fighting spirit. There couldn’t be easier targets than this.

However.

“You idiots!!! What are you all doing!!!”

A booming voice echoed from behind the goblins.

A massive presence emerged from the distant goblin camp.

Even from afar, it was clearly different from the other goblins.

“Hob, it’s a Hobgoblin!!”

“It’s the goblin leader!!”

And while the users who spotted it were making a commotion.

The old Hobgoblin raised its staff high and struck the ground violently.

Kuuuuung!

[Hobgoblin casts the skill Frenzy!]

[The goblins’ attack power, attack speed, and movement speed increase!]

Along with the alarm, dark purple smoke rose from the Hobgoblin’s staff and enveloped the Goblins.

Red light flared in the eyes of the Goblins wrapped in the dark purple smoke.

Kieeeeeeek!

Kiiiiiik!

Then, as if their lost fighting spirit was a lie, they began charging madly toward the wooden fence again.

“Huh, what?”

“They’re, they’re coming again!”

“E-everyone prepare!”

The Users who had been dazed by Garuda’s performance prepared to counterattack again.

However, overwhelmed again by the momentum of the frenzied Goblins, their hands remained slow and clumsy.

At that moment, Kairen clicked his tongue briefly and drew his bowstring.

“What are you all doing standing around like idiots?”

Paaaang!

Another perfect hit as always.

Kairen, who scored a One Shot One Kill with a Critical Hit, couldn’t understand why they were still frozen.

What on earth were they so afraid of?

Could they really be scared of those Goblins’ charge?

Were they really that naive?

Kairen tilted his head and let out a sigh.

Unlike the Users, he felt no emotion at all from the monsters’ charge.

The advance of thousands of monsters?

Overwhelming hostility and killing intent?

These were things Kairen saw and felt every night.

As Demon Lord Kairen, he had reigned over thousands, tens of thousands of monsters.

Ogre armies had brought down castles.

Bone Dragons had split the sky, and Lich magic had cracked the ground.

Compared to those, the Goblin Horde before his eyes was just…

“Small and cute, that’s all.”

As he aimed at a Goblin and released his bowstring, another sharp sound rang out.

The arrow that flew through the wind twisted slightly this time.

He had aimed for the forehead, but it went slightly off course and struck the eye instead.

“Oops, sorry about that.”

He muttered while drawing his bowstring again toward the Goblin that had suddenly become one-eyed, but the surroundings were still frozen.

Kairen, who had been holding back his frustration, finally shouted loudly.

“What are you doing! Everyone shoot!!”

“…!”

“Sh-shoot!”

The powerful shout broke through the stagnant flow.

The nearby Users startled and released their bowstrings.

And once the flow broke, it spread in all directions.

“E-everyone fire!”

“K-kill them!!”

The Users’ counterattack finally began.

Kieeeeeeek!

The provoked Goblins became even more ferocious and charged with fierce intensity.

The first Beginner Village event in New World’s history.

The curtain rose on that historic war, the Goblin Army.

Paaaaaaaang!

Once again, an arrow from Kairen’s fingertips instantly killed a Goblin.

The wind carrying the scent of blood scattered his hair, and Kairen smiled lightly as he smoothed it back with his hand.

Though Garuda’s performance had ended due to running out of mana, Kairen’s exploits continued on.
