Owner of Twilight Intuition – Chapter 48

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 48

“Intruder! Stop him!”

“Kill him!”

As I entered the village again, the surrounding orcs rushed at me with fire in their eyes. Even with them rushing me, my movement wasn’t significantly hindered. I cut down an orc that was clinging to me and spoke to Raz.

“Where are you?”

━Outer area. On the right side from the entrance.

“Hoo, wait a little longer.”

━……Sorry.

“Good that you know.”

I immediately changed direction and ran to the right. After running for about a minute, I spotted an orc much larger than the average ones. Is that the Orc Chieftain? He was definitely bigger than the other orcs, and the equipment he was wearing was also different.

Thick iron armor and a bone necklace. Plus an axe the size of his upper body.

[Axe Tribe’s Orc Chieftain (BOSS)]

‘Found him.’

All that’s left is to deal with the Chieftain.

“I’ll fight the Chieftain while you rescue the hostages.”

━Okay.

“Were you there? You rat-like human!”

“Rat-like……”

There were many orcs surrounding the Orc Chieftain. Roughly 10 to 20? However, the rest of the orcs had such low attack power that I could ignore them. It seemed like I only needed to take care of the Chieftain.

“You’ll regret intruding into my territory!”

“Bring it on!”

The conversation was short. The Orc Chieftain approached me in an instant and swung his axe, the speed of which was so fast that even I could barely keep up. My Agility is currently 116, so this Orc Chieftain’s Agility must be at least 130 or higher.

Clang!-

[You have taken damage. -138.]

‘I’m taking damage?’

Damage that I didn’t even take from the Orc Warlord started to come from the Chieftain. Is this the power of a boss? Moreover, if I was taking damage from normal attacks like this, it was highly likely that this would be a difficult battle.

‘What’s my current status?’

[Health：3614/3751]

[Magic Power：11/840]

[Stamina：59.4%]

Well, I can hold out.

All that’s left is to wait until Raz rescues all the hostages. Raz should be moving to rescue the hostages by now. It would be great if I could take care of this Orc Chieftain by then, but with only half of my Stamina remaining, it seemed unlikely.

“Die!”

Woong Woong-

‘Skill?’

I don’t know if it was Strong Strike, but the Orc Chieftain’s axe started to glow. Seeing that, I immediately jumped back and dodged the axe as it slammed down. The Orc Chieftain, seeing me dodge, threw the axe he had just slammed down.

“……!?”

He threw the axe he was holding? The flying axe was huge and fast. It seemed like it had additional speed added to it. Anyway, judging that it was too late to dodge, I raised my shield and somehow managed to block it.

Kwaang!-

[You have taken damage. -297.]

‘I took some damage, but……’

My Health is still ample. It was an attack I could sufficiently withstand.

“Kuaaaa!”

At that moment, the Orc Chieftain, who had thrown his axe, charged at me barehanded. Huh, even so, to charge at me barehanded? I timed my shield swing to match the charging Orc Chieftain’s movement.

“Shield Bash!”

Bang!-

[Skill Damage! 17.]

“……”

His Defense is quite high too?

At the same time, I dodged the Orc Chieftain’s swinging fist. I dodged the first attack easily, but he had two fists. The Orc Chieftain’s fists that followed were so fast that it made my eyes dizzy, and it was difficult even for me to dodge, forcing me to allow a few hits.

[You have taken damage. -51.]

[You have taken damage. -43.]

[You have taken damage……]

“Kuh.”

“Khahaha! Die!”

My goal was to stall for time, so there was no need to fight back. That’s why I didn’t even bother counterattacking, but this damn Orc Chieftain was attacking me like he was possessed.

‘Anyone else would have been dead by now.’

[Rescued 1 merchant.]

Hmm? Rescued 3 now?

With two merchants already dead, it was impossible to rescue the remaining 6. Therefore, it was right to rescue 5 and leave. In that sense, rescuing just 2 more would complete this quest.

━How is it? Can you hold on?

“Hurry up!”

━5 minutes…… no, hold on for 3 minutes.

3 minutes?

I could hold on for 5 minutes, not just 3. If necessary, I could use Jayer’s Guardian Shield. I was guessing that if I used Jayer’s Guardian Shield, the Health recovered would be much greater than the Health lost.

‘By the way, why isn’t Intuition activating?’

Dodging the Orc Chieftain’s attack once again, I wished for Intuition to activate, but it didn’t react at all. The fact that it didn’t activate even while I was concentrating made me wonder if my previous Intuition had been a misconception.

[Rescued 1 merchant.]

‘Is it because I’m not feeling the same level of tension as before?’

Anyway, now I just need to rescue 1 more to complete this quest. Holding on wasn’t difficult, so it was practically solved.

“You’re quite resilient for a weak human!”

“……”

This guy’s talking nonsense?

The reason I’m not killing the Orc Chieftain is because there’s no need to make things difficult for myself. Judging by the damage he was dealing to me, it didn’t seem like I could kill him in just 1 or 2 minutes. Even if I did kill him, I couldn’t ignore the possibility that the item dropped by the Orc Chieftain would go to another party member.

[Ding!~ The level of F-rank skill ‘Basic Shield Training’ has increased.]

[Strength 1, Stamina 1 increased.]

‘Huh? It levels up this way too?’

If possible, I wanted to level up Basic Shield Training to level 10, but……

[Rescued 1 merchant.]

[The quest has been temporarily completed.]

[Would you like to return to your original location?]

━Done! Get out now!

It seemed Raz had rescued the fifth merchant as a message appeared stating that the quest was temporarily completed. Reading the contents, it seemed that even if I left now, the quest would be considered a success. Also, since there was nothing more to gain with 2 merchants dead, there was no problem in leaving now.

‘It’s a shame, but should I train the skill next time?’

“Moving.”

[Returning to your original location.]

Pabat!-

With the command, my vision shifted. Returning to the front of the Quest Guild, I looked around at the remaining 6 party members, 2 having died. By the way, did everyone look tired, or was it just my imagination?

As someone who objectively worked the hardest, I couldn’t understand.

“Ah, Rudin-nim. You’re safe.”

“Yes.”

The player who had acted as bait with me spoke. I wasn’t used to his friendly demeanor, but I couldn’t ignore his kindness, so I nodded and answered. Raz, as soon as he moved here, immediately went into the Quest Guild to report the completion.

[You have acquired 1 Gold as a quest completion reward.]

[Fame has increased by 40.]

[Ding!~ Fame has exceeded 150.]

[You have acquired a ‘Luxury Shop One-Time Entry Ticket’ as a reward for Fame.]

‘I missed out on the Random Skillbook, but I got the Luxury Shop Entry Ticket.’

I didn’t dwell on the missed Random Skillbook. I already had two Random Skillbooks in my Item Storage.

“Good work.”

While I was looking at the message about acquiring the Random Skillbook, I heard Raz’s voice returning from reporting the quest. Turning my head, I saw a face full of regret, unlike mine.

Did he want the Random Skillbook that badly?

“Good work my foot. Leaving the party.”

[You have left the party.]

“Huh? Why are you leaving?”

“The quest is over. I have things to do.”

“Ah, right. What are you going to do?”

“Well, I’m thinking of going into the Luxury Shop.”

I had the entry ticket and plenty of money. Especially since the clash with the Emperor Guild members yesterday was a big help. I earned at least 4 to 5 Gold. Plus, I earned another 1 Gold from this quest, so it seemed like I could enter the Luxury Shop.

[15 Gold 5 Silver 21 Copper]

‘This much should be enough.’

“That’s a shame.”

“Huh? Why?”

“I was thinking we could go exploring together.”

Exploring my foot.

“I don’t even have an Exploration Skill.”

Having said that, I waved to Raz and entered the Quest Guild. It was natural since the Luxury Shop was said to be inside the Quest Guild.

Click-

“Welcome to the Quest Guild. What brings you here?”

The woman sitting at the counter stood up and greeted me with a smile.

“I’d like to enter the Luxury Shop.”

“The Luxury Shop is that way.”

The place the woman pointed to was a staircase leading down. It seemed like the Luxury Shop was down those stairs. It was strange that there was no one guarding it, but it probably didn’t matter to the players bound by the system whether there was someone there or not.

Step-

[Entering the Luxury Shop.]

[The ‘Luxury Shop One-Time Entry Ticket’ in your Item Storage will disappear.]

‘Is it like this?’

As I stepped onto the stairs leading down, a message window popped up as if waiting for me. It seemed like the entry ticket automatically disappeared when you entered the Luxury Shop.

“Oh.”

The Luxury Shop, located in the basement, was quite spacious. Also, the wide space was filled with various items, including weapons, armor, potions, and more.

‘But why is there no one here?’

There was only one person who looked like an NPC, no players at all. It seemed like it was divided into individual spaces for each person.

“Welcome to the Luxury Shop.”

“Ah, yes.”

While I was looking around, a male NPC approached and spoke to me.

“If you’re looking for anything in particular, please let me know.”

My original purpose for coming to the Luxury Shop was to buy Enhancement Stones. But with so many items here, I wanted to look around. And if there was an item I liked, I would buy it.

More than that, the item I need right now is……

“Let’s see the rings.”

“If it’s rings, you can check them over there.”

Currently, among the equipment I was wearing, I didn’t have a ring or a belt. This was because I had dropped them when I died to Turu. It was more advantageous to equip missing items first than to replace existing ones.

“And when you want to buy an item, just hold it in your hand and say ‘Purchase’.”

“Ah, yes.”

“Also, you can’t buy an unlimited amount. You can only buy three items per entry.”

“Only three? That’s all?”

“Because it’s the Luxury Shop.”

What kind of answer is that? While I was looking at him dumbfounded, the NPC stepped back as if he had said all he needed to say. Anyway, if the system was set up that way, there was nothing I could do about it.

‘Hoo, let’s look for a ring.’

Moving to where the rings were displayed, I started checking the closest ones.

[-Luxury Shop- Ring of the Gale] (Magic)

Description: A ring imbued with magic. It’s valuable as a work of art and is enchanted to make the wearer lighter.

Durability: 50/50

*Movement Speed increased by 10%.

(Price 9 Gold 50 Silver)

‘Wow…… Crazy. Look at the price?’

The amount of money I currently have is not small. 15 Gold is well over 2 million won in cash. Even so, it was only enough to barely buy this one ring.

“The options are definitely good, but……”

First of all, it’s a ring that increases Agility by 20. Additionally, there are no Restricted Stats. It was undoubtedly a useful item for me, who fights in close combat.

However.

“The price is a killer.”

With a price like this, I couldn’t buy it. Just in case, I checked the other rings next to it.

[-Luxury Shop- Spider Eye Ring] (Magic)

Description: A ring decorated with spider eyes. The faintly magical spider eyes have the power to resist poison.

Durability: 50/50

*Poison duration reduced by 30%.

(Price 9 Gold 20 Silver)

“……”

If all Magic grade items had these kinds of prices, it seemed like I could only buy one. Wouldn’t it be better to just wander around the village and try to find one? In the end, I put the ring back in its place and started looking at other items, and I happened to find another type of item that I didn’t have.

‘A cloak?’

On one side, cloaks of various colors were lined up. And my gaze was fixed on a cloak with a similar color to the Blue Stone Set I was wearing.

A blue cloak……

‘Let’s at least take a look.’

[-Luxury Shop- Windbreaker Cloak] (Magic)

Description: A cloak made to protect the body from harsh winds. True to its purpose, it can slightly reduce the effects of blowing wind.

Durability: 60/60

*Wind Resistance increased by 3%.

(Price 9 Gold 80 Silver)

“As expected.”

The price was breathtaking. The stats were good, but 9 Gold 80 Silver? Moreover, looking at the cloak, it didn’t have any Defense. No Defense meant it was an item on the same level as an accessory.

‘Come to think of it, they said they had Enhancement Stones too……’

Having roughly grasped the items and prices here, I looked for the Enhancement Stones that were said to cost 5 Gold each. Since the items were organized by type, it wasn’t difficult to find where the Enhancement Stones were.
