Owner of Twilight Intuition – Chapter 72

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝟕𝟐

‘I can’t believe I slept the whole day.’

After falling asleep yesterday, I opened my eyes to find the day still bright. At the time, I thought I had only slept for a few hours, but I soon realized that was a mistake.

Ridiculously, I had slept for over 24 hours.

Thanks to that, my phone was overflowing with missed calls from Yua, and I hurriedly sent her a message saying something came up today. Anyway, after eating and washing up, I sat in front of the computer feeling dazed.

“I’m still tired.”

In this state, wouldn’t I just get disconnected again if I logged in? With an uneasy feeling, I decided it would be better to rest today and entered the Twilight bulletin board. Since I skipped a day, a lot of new information must have been uploaded.

If I look over the information and sleep again, wouldn’t this fatigue disappear?

“Huh? Bamut Cult…… failure?”

Scanning the titles flooding the board, it seemed they challenged it again while I was asleep. Although they failed.

‘Should I be relieved about this?’

I woke up to find the Bamut Cult subjugated. I think even I would be flustered if that happened. It would mean losing three perfectly good Rare items without even touching them.

[Bamut Cult. Despair at their overwhelming force.]

[Content: A few hours ago, over 20 guilds formed an alliance to subjugate the Bamut Cult. Among them were 4-5 famous guilds that are known just by their names. The fact that the gathered members exceeded 3,000 people was also noteworthy.

However, unfortunately, the challenge against the Bamut Cult ended in failure.

The video below is attached for those who are curious about the battle with the Bamut Cult.]

Looking at the date, it was a post uploaded yesterday evening.

And as written, a video was attached below. It seemed like it was recorded using the video recording system available within Twilight.

‘What is this? This viewpoint?’

The viewpoint of the video was a bird’s-eye view from the sky. Was it taken after using a flight-capable skill? And that viewpoint allowed for a full view of the entire battlefield spread out below.

Waaaaaaaaaah━

A clash with thousands of players.

Certainly, the numbers were different from the battle I saw two days ago. Moreover, the fact that they didn’t clash head-on with the Bamut Cult and instead surrounded them from all sides and attacked simultaneously was impressive.

‘They lost even after doing this?’

But as if mocking my thoughts, the vanguard players who collided with the monsters crumbled like straws. Even with support from the rear, the formation that had started to collapse seemed irreversible.

As expected, monsters strengthened threefold.

Seeing it again, clashing head-on with the monsters didn’t seem like the answer. Well, is it a consolation that the number of monsters is decreasing thanks to the ranged attacks from the rear? But even that was only at the level of 1-2 monsters dying for every 10 players that died.

“Maybe I shouldn’t have watched this.”

If it’s going to flow like this, there might be no need to watch further. Of course, the sight of them continuously attacking without giving up despite the unfavorable war situation was impressive, but that’s all.

Watching a video with a predictable outcome is a waste of time……

“Huh?”

At that moment, several players appeared from where the priests were located. When did they appear? I tried to guess what happened at the sight of the players who appeared seemingly instantaneously.

“It seems they approached using stealth.”

In any case, it was a good method. If you catch the priests, the monster domination will be lifted. The players who approached the priests attacked them as if they had been waiting, and the priests also fought back with daggers, but they didn’t seem to be very effective.

‘If they continue like this……’

Wouldn’t it be possible to defeat the Bamut Cult?

Despite already knowing the outcome, I briefly had that thought. However, the number of players attacking the priests was disappointing. Perhaps the remaining members were caught by monsters and died on the way.

‘It’ll be difficult.’

The players who succeeded in approaching with stealth did their best to attack the priests, but the players were collapsing even faster. They couldn’t withstand the attacks of thousands of monsters.

If there had been more players attacking the priests right now, there might have been a possibility.

However, in the video, only about 20 players reached the location of the priests. Unfortunately, it was not enough to eliminate the hundreds of priests. Moreover, as monsters that looked like bats flew in, the players attacking the priests fell one by one.

‘But were there bats like that before?’

I don’t think there were.

Well, even overlooking the bats, it was regrettable that I didn’t see the Pope. I thought that with over 3,000 people, at least the Pope would appear, but it ended with just the priests.

Also, the writer’s words were written below the video.

[Content: What’s peculiar is that the Emperor Guild, introduced as Twilight’s best guild, did not participate. Perhaps the next challengers will be the Emperor Guild? If the Emperor Guild participates, I will cheer them on, even in a small way.]

‘Is that Aizen guy still in a meeting?’

Recalling the atmosphere of the meeting at that time, I thought they would move towards subjugation. But seeing that they haven’t moved yet, I even thought there might be a problem.

‘Actually, they should have moved as soon as this battle ended.’

Although they were defeated, the 3,000 people didn’t disappear. Even looking at the video now, since the number of priests and monsters has decreased, it could be an opportunity, but the Emperor Guild is not moving.

They didn’t not participate just because I wasn’t there, right?

“……”

Is that too presumptuous a thought?

Anyway, it was a video that allowed me to learn about the Bamut Cult once again. Satisfied with that, I checked the comments below. Perhaps because it was a post with a video attached, the comments easily exceeded 1,000.

[Wow~ They failed even though that many people challenged it.]

[You shouldn’t fight the monsters. You have to somehow target the priests.]

[↑Who doesn’t know that? The problem is breaking through to them.]

[In the end, they couldn’t even look at the Pope and it ended lol.]

[Honestly, if the Emperor Guild’s Vice Master had been where the priests were, it might have been different.]

[Right, seeing the video of him catching the High Priest, the Emperor Guild’s Vice Master is amazing.]

‘Emperor Guild’s Vice Master? It was uploaded after all.’

Naturally, yesterday’s battle came to mind, but I expected it. There was no reason not to upload the video after recording it. In addition, since it was a video I was in, I was curious about the reactions.

‘Should I look for it?’

When I set out to find it, I was able to find it more easily than I thought. Anyway, after finding and playing my video, the first thing I saw was the scene of me breaking the barrier.

━What are you doing! Quickly reconstruct the barrier!

‘They filmed it from here.’

Whoever it was, it seems they filmed the video from the point of breaking the barrier.

“But did I fight like this?”

After breaking the barrier, I dodge the Basilisk’s attack flying from behind without even seeing it. It was possible because I knew it beforehand with Intuition, but seeing it like this in a video, even I was amazed.

That attack was a perfect surprise attack, but I dodged it.

Admiring inwardly, I watched the scene of me even blowing away the High Priest and nodded, then checked the comments below.

[Is that person the Emperor Guild’s Vice Master?]

[Wow~ Does he have eyes on the back of his head? How did he dodge that?]

[He fights well. He seems to have a talent for combat.]

[He fights well my ass. Look at him resting after throwing the High Priest into the middle of the players. And he only steps up again after almost all the players are dead.]

[No, no, the Emperor Guild’s Vice Master broke the barrier alone. Most people can’t do that.]

[I think that charge skill is amazing. The High Priest couldn’t even withstand it a few times.]

[Rumor has it that you don’t get anything even if you catch the High Priest.]

‘The reactions are more intense than I thought.’

Would there be such reactions even if this was some amazing video? But unfortunately, there was nothing I could do. Hoping that nothing would happen, I searched for new information as originally intended, but almost all the posts were about the Bamut Cult, making it difficult to find.

[Tips on Enhancement Stones.]

[Content: Just enhance to +1 with Enhancement Stones. Then you’ll get an Enhancement Option, making you even stronger. Of course, Enhancement Stones are expensive.]

‘They call this a tip.’

Fortunately, not all the tips were useless like this.

[For those who dislike direct combat.]

[Content: Sometimes I see a lot of people who dislike fighting directly. Most of them are women. Anyway, I’ll tell you a good method for those people. If you don’t like fighting, go for summoning. Surprisingly, there are many types of summoning in Twilight. There are roughly Beast, Spirit, Monster, and Death types. You just have to learn all these summonings and make them fight for you. The advantage of summoning is that you can hunt alone.]

[How to hunt in dungeons.]

[Content: It’s the Quest Dungeon. As you progress through NPC quests, you can receive quests to enter specific dungeons. Hunt in those dungeons. It’s probably the only way to run dungeons without joining a guild.]

[There are stat-boosting items besides equipment.]

[Content: This is a fact that surprisingly many people don’t know. If you have items like paintings or sculptures in your Item Window (Item Storage), your stats will increase. Think of it as a kind of talisman. However, these items do not stack. Even if you have 10 paintings, only 1 will be applied. Similarly, even if you have 1 painting and 1 sculpture, only 1 will be applied.]

“Paintings?”

Were there skills for painting in Twilight? Come to think of it, I could recall a skillbook called Basic Sketching among the skillbooks I saw in the library on the first day. At the time, I thought, what kind of trash skill is this, but it seems it had this kind of ability.

“If it increases stats, it’s okay to have it.”

Seeing that there was nothing special before, it was likely that the stat increase would be minimal. Still, just in case, I decided to read the comments below.

[A miracle skill that raises stats by 1-2 points in exchange for giving up 1 inventory slot.]

[No joke. A truly well-made piece raises it by about 5 points.]

[If it raises stats by 5 points, I can give up 1 inventory slot.]

[Doesn’t it raise anything other than stats?]

[There aren’t many people who paint or sculpt in the first place.]

[If you have the related skills, you can stack 2 or 3 paintings.]

As expected, the stat increase seemed minimal. Of course, even considering that, it was worth buying. If it wasn’t expensive, that is.

‘I thought it was all useless information, but……’

I felt like I had gained something for once.

Feeling a little better, I rode this momentum and searched for other information. Since I had already given up on logging into the game today, I could take my time looking. It wasn’t like before, where I had to skim through it during my 1-hour break.

[The Holy Land of Various Quests! The Royal Palace!]

[Content: There are many people who wander around looking for quests. Instead of wandering around like that, come to the Royal Palace. First, if you get recognized by a specific NPC with a Crafting skill, you can enter the Royal Palace. Quests are given out there every week. The rewards are quite good. Also, there are many people in the Royal Palace that you can’t normally meet, and if you become friendly with them, they’ll throw quests at you whenever they’re bored. This means you can continuously receive quests in the Royal Palace. Isn’t it amazing? So, everyone, stop wandering around and come to the Royal Palace.]

‘The rewards at the Royal Palace seem to be decent.’

I could also enter the Royal Palace. It’s because I received recognition from Deron by making dozens of Soul-Infused Spears. Therefore, I could enter the Royal Palace whenever I wanted, but it was also a place I didn’t go because I didn’t feel the need to.

‘I’ll go when I have the chance.’

If I went to the Royal Palace, I was likely to receive quests related to weapon crafting. And my crafting is S-rank level 11. Actually, with this rank and level, it wouldn’t be strange at all if they came to personally invite me to the Royal Palace.

Also, being S-rank, wouldn’t they treat me accordingly in the Royal Palace?

[Expected Patch Content for Tomorrow.]

[Content: As you know, there will be a patch tomorrow. It’s written in the announcement. But I don’t know what kind of patch it will be. Since I know someone who works at Twilight, I secretly asked them. They said a ‘Duel Arena’ system will be added. So, it’s highly likely that tomorrow’s patch will be a Duel Arena patch.]

Unexpected content.

A Duel Arena?

There was something similar in Twilight. The Sparring system where you could go to the Training Ground and fight each other. Or the PK (Player Killing) system where you could recklessly kill opponents in the field.

‘Is this a prank?’

Anyway, I believed I would find out tomorrow.
