Chapter 118: Defense of Luxemb (5)
” Uh, uh? “
The atmosphere suddenly changed 180 degrees.
BJMiguning couldn’t figure out why, but she immediately bowed her head.
And then.
Whizz, thud!
A giant Chinese cleaver flew and lodged itself right in front of BJMiguning.
Goosebumps erupted all over her body.
Once again, she narrowly escaped death.
If she had been even a moment slower to duck, that cleaver would have surely found its mark not on the floor, but her head…….
” Wh, wh, wh, what is going on?! “
BJMiguning was so startled that she plopped down on her bottom.
Just then, a familiar voice came from behind.
” Came to check, but there’s no ingredients, only a little girl, huh? “
BJMiguning turned her neck like an unoiled machine, creaking with each movement.
Then, she saw a chef.
In his left hand was a sashimi knife you might find in any Japanese restaurant.
His right hand, however, was empty.
BJMiguning quickly understood why.
Because the Chinese cleaver that should have been in his right hand was currently embedded in the floor right before her eyes.
<Rank 11>
<Caution! Red Player!>
▼BlackChef (Player)
” Aigo, told ya not to wander into the kitchen like that. Gonna get scolded by mommy. “
BlackChef casually flicked the blood off his sashimi knife.
It wasn’t the purple blood of a mutated monster.
As you can see.
All the players and NPCs around the spire had long been slain by BlackChef.
BlackChef pointed the tip of his knife at her.
” Woah, woah~ Mister Chef~ Fancy seeing you here? Don’t you think we see each other a bit too much? Maybe it’s time we took a break……? Haha…… Hahaha……. “
BJMiguning subtly lifted her bottom and began to inch backward.
She prepared to spring up and run away at the first opportunity.
At that moment.
” You’re right. It’s been a while. “
BlackChef said something utterly unexpected to BJMiguning.
” But you know what? I actually maxed out my PK points today. “
” PK points……? What do you mean? “
BJMiguning couldn’t comprehend what BlackChef was talking about.
But BlackChef continued speaking, unconcerned.
” Well, there’s one left, but someone with flimsy stats like you, someone I’ve PKed multiple times, doesn’t give me much stat absorption efficiency. So, I don’t really need to PK you this time……. “
BlackChef sheathed his used knife and pulled out a new one.
He approached slowly, twirling the fresh blade between his fingers.
BJMiguning was impressed, considering this newfound information about BlackChef.
” Wow~ That’s some really useful info! So I’m good to go then? See you later! “
Dash!
BJMiguning took off running at an incredible pace without looking back.
But just then.
” 『That』 was a good enough warm-up to catch 『you』, don’t you think? “
Thud!
BlackChef also kicked off the ground, dashing towards BJMiguning.
He thrust his vegetable knife forward in a straight line!
” Kyaaaaah?! Noooo, I don’t wanna die!! “
And so, BJMiguning and BlackChef began a high-speed chase.
Heading straight towards where Kyung-joon was busy hunting mutated monsters.
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bang!
Wherever Kyung-joon flew his paper airplane, it was devastated as if it had been bombed.
This could hardly be called a proper hunt.
If there was another expression, it would be a one-sided massacre, and there would be no other suitable expression.
That’s how much the power of Kyung-joon’s 『Energy Bombard Scroll』 showed was beyond imagination.
No matter how high the stat figures were compared to Kyung-joon’s level, it was magic that could never be used.
“Scroll magic is the best.”
The reason why such a massacre was possible was all thanks to scroll magic.
Just as he continued to recover mana during the Ogopogo Raid and created a tremendous amount of Photon Strike scrolls.
The 『Energy Bombard Scroll』 was also made by storing a tremendous amount of mana in a similar way.
Each scroll contained only mana for over an hour.
At least 10 times more than full mana must have gone in.
Originally, all mana would be consumed at once with one special move.
Thanks to the scrolls Kyung-joon had made in advance, there was no problem even if he used 10 times the mana of his ultimate skill.
That’s because the mana Kyung-joon used to activate the scroll was only the mana of one Energy Shooter, the ignition key.
The rest was all stored in the scroll beforehand.
This was the fight of the prepared.
And it was Kyung-joon’s way.
“The airplane is flying~♪ Fly~ Fly~♬ Fly high~♪ Our airplane~♬”
Kyung-joon diligently throws a paper airplane while singing a children’s song.
Originally, it wasn’t like this, but it became like this because of the musician residents who only sang songs in the territory all the time.
Anyway.
In this way, he hunted down mutant monsters and moved forward.
Soon, he encountered a monster that appeared to be the boss of this Luxemb defense.
“Greee―!”
[Variant Civilized Orc: Protein]
▶Orc Anchovy, who was bullied by his peers in the past for being an anchovy. He longed for power, and as if responding to it, the voice of the devil was heard.
『Come here.
Come here.
Closer.
A little more.
Yes, swallow that stone.
Chew and swallow the power you’ve been longing for and craving.
…….
Good.
I’ll give you a new name.
You are ‘Protein’ from now on.
Oh, Orc Protein.
The world that ignored you!
The hideous world that has insulted you!
Swallow them all!』
Anchovies are no longer anchovies.
I am Protein.
[You have encountered a quest monster.]
[You have collected one quest piece (1/3).]
▶To the east of the Holy Cross Faction, beyond the Aegis Protectorate, in the Whale Forest, lies the Orc Tribe Camp. And Orc Anchovy, he too was a member of this faction.//First piece
Quest piece!
It was something that already existed, but it was a system that was further highlighted with the update of Chapter 2 『Anomaly』 of this main scenario!
The quest pieces obtained here were deeply related to the main scenario that will proceed in the future.
Being deeply involved in the main scenario is like saying that you are among the protagonists of this world.
<It’s a quest piece. This is sure to be a big clue to the secrets surrounding the mutant monsters.>
If Teemo is right, this is practically the way to become the main character.
Who in the world would hate to be the main character?
I want to be in the spotlight.
I want to be recognized by others.
I want to be a famous and great person.
I want to succeed.
Just like the main character in a novel, I want to be at the center of the story.
Countless players have wished for it, and they are still roaming the world, hoping for it.
“It’s an interesting system. It would be fun to do it when I have a lot of time after I get into college.”
Of course, Kyung-joon was a little different from other players.
『Seolha Publishing House Complete High School Textbook Set』.
The reason Kyung-joon is standing here in the first place was to get workbooks.
Delve into the secrets of the world, uncover the black screen…….
It wasn’t for some grandiose reason like this.
To study.
Kyung-joon played games solely for studying.
▶Level: Lv.298
▶Attribute: Dark.
▶Characteristics: Named Monster, Super Strength, Dark Mana Regeneration, Black Earthquake
“I don’t think it’s going to be that hard to catch.”
Kyung-joon said so as he finished reading the status window of the mutant orc in front of him.
It’s a named monster and its level is close to 300.
You mean it’s not going to be that hard?
It was a statement that other players, let alone rankers, could not easily agree with.
Especially.
Mutant monsters are even more difficult to deal with due to their unique dark mana characteristics, unless they are countered by paladins or priests.
It is much more powerful than a normal level 300 named monster.
Even so, it seemed like nothing to Kyung-joon.
<It will be much easier than the Mutated Minto Morco we hunted last time.>
“I agree. I can use the magic I used back then.”
Kyung-joon already had experience defeating mutant monsters.
It was 『Mutated Minto Morco』, which he had encountered in the Fairy-Elven Alliance.
Compared to that time, the orc named Protein in front was much weaker.
At that time, Mutated Minto Morco’s level was 319.
The difference between below level 300 and above 300 is bigger than you think.
So, in the end, a named monster of level 298, which is less than 300, is instant.
“Kwaaa!”
Protein raised his ax toward Kyung-joon.
Dark mana is overflowing from the axe!
Whooosh!
When it hit the floor.
Kugugu! Kugung! Crash!
The dark mana spread all around, turning the surrounding ground into a complete mess.
However.
“Kwa?”
Protein had a puzzled look on his face.
Where his dark mana ax had landed, there was no trace of Kyung-joon, let alone a drop of blood.
[Unique skill 『Sylph Fly (Lv.1)』 ]
[Fly in the sky with the wind of the Sylph.]
By the time Protein raised his ax, Kyung-joon had already taken to the skies.
So, even though the black earthquake tore the ground apart, Kyung-joon was unharmed.
An earthquake may split the earth, but it cannot split the sky.
Kyung-joon used Sylph Fly to instantly fly behind Protein.
‘Ugh…… As expected, flying without Shadow Step is still difficult. If I lose focus even for a moment, it feels like I’m going to hit the floor…….’
He still lacked the proficiency to use Sylph Fly freely.
It was nearly impossible to use other skills while maintaining a constant flight.
So.
“I’m going to cheat.”
Flop~
Kyung-joon took out a piece of paper and let it catch the wind.
It soon reached the back of Protein’s head and stuck there with a pat.
“Kwaaaa?!”
Protein, who noticed this, immediately turned his head to look at Kyung-joon.
Of course.
Needless to say, this was too late.
“Goodbye.”
Grin.
Kyung-joon saw Protein off with a bright smile.
Adding a slightly strange line.
“This concludes the 1st Annual No Studying Day Festival in the Study Village.”
The Photon Strike scrolls he had written while preparing for the Ogopogo Raid.
One of the remaining ones was just activated.
[Ignition key confirmed.]
[Unique Scroll 『Photon Strike – Kyung-joon style writing method』 will be activated.]
Flash!
A brilliant strike of light engulfed Protein.
Unlike the Mutated Minto Morco, which was covered in dark mana armor, this time there was none.
If there is one, it is dark mana regeneration, but before the regeneration can even take place, the whole body will be sublimated along with the light.
So this one time is enough.
[You have defeated the named monster 『Variant Civilized Orc: Protein (Lv.298)』.]
[You have gained 90 million experience points.]
[Kyung-joon: Lv.154→Lv.159]
[You have earned 90,000 Luxemb event points.]
Sizzle.
The light disappeared into the distance at a speed of 299,792,458m/s, and beyond the field of vision where only particles of light were floating.
Thud.
The sound of a person collapsing was heard.
“Gasp, gasp…… I, I saw the light……. “
“Huh?”
A little further away, a woman was bleeding profusely.
It was a woman he had seen once at the Luxemb Event Chairman.
<Ranker 23rd>
▼BJMiguning (Player)
Her hair, which was originally styled in a pretty pink apple-like way.
Now it was so stained with blood that it was hard to tell its original color.
“If you are…… If you are the one who created the light……. “
BJMiguning, still lying down, barely lifted her head and reached out to Kyung-joon.
Her fingertips sparkled with mana.
“Surely…… That crazy chef too……. “
