Vol 7 Chapter 2 (1/2)
ACT 2 Absurd Death
He had learnt a new skill after a long tiround to test it out
“Nohere should I try it out? Magic Detection”
When he used the skill Ark’s pupils shone with a blue light In the dark evening, Ark’s eye lit up the forest! Deimos and Dedric looked on enviously
“Oh, Master, soreat force”
Clack clack clack! Clack clack!
Ark also liked the special effects However……he didn’t feel any other changes except for the ones to his eyes
“What is this? Is this really a skill?”
Ark wandered the forest with an a, he suddenly saw a pale light gathered near a bush When he approached it looked like the ordinary gravel found anywhere But it was iht
“Maybe this is the effect of ic detection?”
As soon as he picked up the gravel then an informationappeared
-Suspicious gravel (Unidentified)
<low level=”” texture=””>
Ark’s eyes widened
‘That’s it That is the effect of Magic Detection!’
On the ground it looked like an ordinary gravel He had never seen this ravel And he had picked up countless of theravel had never been registered as an item until now It was like when those who don’t know the value of a gold nugget would think it was just a coated stone Even if they saw a valuable plant, it would only be weeds for soic Detection was necessary It could check if a gold bar was a gold bar or if a carrot was just a carrot However, Magic Detection only told hi out why it is special was a different matter Because the item information would come out as ‘Unidentified’
“Discerning Eye!”
Sound Ore (Magic Ingredient)
The Sound Ore is a h it looks just like ordinary gravel, it is an ore that has absorbed the properties of the ic sound field When turned into a powder, it can be used to dilute powerful ic
<grade 5=”” redient=”” value:=”” 10-20=”” silver=””>
Ark used Discerning Eye to display the itely it was 10~20 silver! It was15 silver at eneral stores didn’t buy the h there was a value attached for the harvested ingredients, he couldn’t sell theredient then he could sell it for 90 of the value at the s’ skill better than his intuition It norold to release a low level protection and identify the object If it wasn’t an aredient then he would experience a lossHowever since he could use the ‘Discerning Eye’ that he developed in the blind auction, it wasn’t a probleet a profit even if it was a cheap ite up round or in the streets
‘If I pick up an iteht be a huge windfall!’
Now he knehy Madusein was so determined to keep the skill to hiic Detection around Lancel Village So he had plenty of tiic then the situation was differentHow sick would Madusein be now that he had to share what he had previously eaten by himself?
‘Yes, that’s why it was so difficult to get from Madusein!’
Ark had a wicked smile on his face
“I’us Mountains!”
The world looked different once he had this skill! Just yesterday it was an ordinary hunting ground and now it looked like a field of money Money! What other word could et ite But with the extra bonus of finding redients, he found it fun to wander the mountains It wasn’t tedious even if a monster didn’t appear
‘Ores, plants, insects……they’re also redients!’
He had never seen soBark and larvae that could be used inthat had been is There weren’t a lot of ic Detection, he only picked up 4~5 iteredients in 30 minutes, he would find 15 which was approxiredients so it was quite loever since there was a light around the ic Detection, there was no need to walk around looking at the ground like when he was searching for coredients
‘If this light is on s that aren’t visible’
When the corrupted fairy wings falls to the ground, it is transparent Madusein dyed the transparent wings and sold theold for one, when he looked at it with Discerning Eye he saw that it was only worth 1 gold It could only be found using the special skill, but selling it for 3 times the value……
‘damn, Madusein was a vicious merchant!’
Ark could say those things but he also wasn’t a gentle person when it caain realized the i new skills Madusein was able to sell one corrupted fairy wing for 3 gold because notequipment iteood the equipment item, it would be replaced with a better one someday On the other hand, once a skill was learnt then it was there forever No ood the equipment was, it couldn’t last forever When Madusein sold soold for 3, a person without the skill would have no choice but to accept it grudgingly It was a professional skill was a huge additional value! It wasn’t a bad idea to learn as much skills as possible
‘A lot of the ingredients can surprisingly be used for s!’
He looked at the ingredients It was an opportunity for him to create even more new dishes He had only been able to raise his pets stats to level 90 thanks to the liredients He had already used all the possible cous Mountains to create new dishes But since he was now able to find ed There were dozens of new coredients that he could use to create new dishes! Considering the failure rate of survival cooking, he could raise his pets stats by three or four levels Once again he would use the opportunity to keep his summons in check
‘I have to tighten ain’
Ark watched the battles vigilantly and waited for a chance However, Dedric and Deimos made no mistakes
‘There is a dangerous look in Master’s eyes!’
‘da to be unreasonably scolded?’
The two pets instinctively felt so The time had come to take extra care! Dedric and Deiame time with Ark They had faced the saredients then Ark was fine Ark’s nature was that if there were no new ingredients, then it was better to save them and he didn’t make the torturous dishes anymore However the situation was different if he was able to create new food He would catch the slightest ht, ‘New Ingredients= Force feeding’ was already an official situation! While the discovery of new ingredients was a source of happiness for Ark, to his pets it was a catastrophe! It wasn’t below a catastrophe for them
“Wah ah ah! Take this!”
Clack clack clack! Clack clack!
Deimos and Dedric immediately rushed forhenever a monster appeared Dedric would equip a steel hels until it collapsed Their coree that thethe summons But was that all? No matter how complicated Ark’s instructions, they obeyed them perfectly
“Uhh, even though I suffered so for Master’s sake Master, there doesn’t seem to be any monsters in the vicinity Perhaps you should do some errands?”
Once the battle ended, he would go scouting for more enemies
‘What’s with these guys?’
Ark becaus Mountains were relatively low level Since there was no way the battle could fail, they were relatively relaxed Of course, he wouldn’t make up an excuse to feed the actions Those were the rules that Ark had established so far If he pushed it too blatantly then they would become stubborn and cause adverse effects
‘Hah, but if they behave too well then it is also a probleinning? But if I used that system would they still listen now? What should I do? I already triedthe plans too complicated so that they would make a mistake……’
However, that probleus Mountains that could round was across the entirethenollsWhile there were other higher level anization and skills res Their party consisted offive or six steel eration to say that they were the erous enemy in the area But it was tedious for Ark to face them Since he had already developed tactics with his summons to deal with theroup of steelout of the darkness, Ark had no reaction
‘The group is back again I’ll dispose of them quickly since its troublesome’
If the battle was sos carefully and deterth However, since he dealt with theht he didn’t need to bother Even if his condition orse than normal
…………That was how the mistake happened
“Awoooo!”
“Kung kung kung kung!”
When it was in trouble, one of them howled towards the forest and summoned more troops When it howled, four or five steel ed from the forest Confusion was seen on Ark’s face
‘Don’t telltroop was nearby……’
He confirht five steel lected his normal battle principles and paid for itIt was harder than usual for hinoll reinforcements were nearby……
‘da my mind’
However, that was not Ark’s real mistake
‘But I can still win By using a strategy with my pets, I can beat them!’
“Deimos, defensive stance and protect the back!”
Ark shouted as he penetrated the gap There were two gnoll archers present but he had protection at the back There was no need to worry Dei arrows But just as he tried to swing his sword, he felt a sharp pain in his side
-You have received a critical hit from the arrow of a steel maned archer!
240 daed, your movement becomes slow for 30 seconds
“Ugh, what, what the?”
It was unexpected dae! After Ark turned around, he was able to understand the situation Ark had commanded Deimos to take a defense stance at the back However, Dei around the corpse of a dead steel noll
“He, he……!”
His bone collecting skill was activated in this situation of all things
Dei his ‘Bone collector’ skill
He has replaced it with a sturdy leg bone and is now able to move more quickly
Deimos was only concerned about the new bone Then Dedric used the chance to hurl curses at Deimos
“You foolish skeleton! Do you enjoy your hobby h next? Can’t you see that Master is vulnerable because of you? Master, he should be forced to eat your food”
Even if Dedric hadn’t said anything, Ark was about to explode Ark’s operations with his suone perfectly recently Their role in battles had becoed sword When a strategy was pulled over perfectly, a fatal weak point was revealed When Ark was protected by Deiht But if Deimos was preoccupied, he was surrounded by himself In addition, the arroed his movements!
“Grrr, he thinks he can take care of everyone by himself?”
“This impertinent bastard!”
“Kill him Grab him and tear him apart!”
“Grrr, the flesh has become soft”
It was a group attack! Their attacks flew froot hit There was no tiht surrounded him as his health was steadily decreased It fell to 20 while the arrows that continued to hit his ars decreased his movement and attack speed
“Dark Dance!”
Arkhis evasion skill But naturally, his bad condition even had an effect on his character The Dark Dance skill became disabled when the completion rate fell below 30 and he received considerable dae
“He’s struggling!”
“Catch him!”
The gnolls exposed their fangs and rushed towards him
‘I’nolls……’
Eventually Ark used a trump card
“Dedric, Vampire skill activate!”
It was the vampirism skill that Dedric had just learned in the hook bat cave! When he sucked the blood of a monster, he could absorb a random skill that could only be used once The skill that Dedric had currently absorbed was Gri Supersonic Wave,’ which had an 80 chance of causing confusion in opponents with low resistance! The battle situation could change in an instant thanks to that one skill! It wouldn’t be hard to control the dogs that had been confusedHowever, that was the most crucial mistake committed by Ark His concentration suddenly fell as he received dae to his neck and all the information s that popped up displayed a crazy amount of information
Dedric had used Va skill was deleted and a new skill saved
Currently absorbed skill: < howling=””> Sunolls in a 100 meter radius
The steelheavily Thanks to the blood, Dedric could not resist his blood sucking vampire instincts When Ark ordered him to use the skill, Dedric lifted his head and howled
Aoooo!
It wasn’t necessary to see the results After the howling sound was heard, a group of steelfroave a hasty excuse
“I, I didn’t know! It’s not my fault! Master ordered me to do it!”
“dauy is really……!”
The situation became even more complicated However, Deimos’ and Dedric’s nature didn’t help the situation His health was already at a critical condition In such a situation against another group of steel nolls, the only possible result was death In addition, he had already sold all his inter 1~2 potions that restored 100 health would not help the situation
‘There’s only one option!’
Ark pushed the gnolls back using Riposte Ark’s level was 151 With the dark attribute bonus it was 211 But now he had to run away froht be hurt but wasn’t living more important?
Kung kung kung kung!
The steel nolls immediately chased after him But there was a small mercy His Indomitable Will and Adrenaline had kicked in thanks to his critical condition Fortunately, his defense and reaction rate increased and he could endure a few attacks while widening the distance And he soon appeared in front of a sheer cliff Its height was approximately 10 metres
‘My reht’s flexibility to reduce the fall dae then I can live!’
“Grrrr, die human!”
As soon as the clubs aimed at his head, Ark dived off the cliff Ark tensed his body and twisted it as he was about to hit the ground Although he felt some pain, luckily he only lost 30 health
‘I did it! Alright!’
Ark jus
“Grrr, that bastard is alive!”
“Chase after it, it is dinner Do not miss!”
They started steadily ju down the cliff But it would take some time to reach the bottom of the cliff He used ‘Stealth’ to widen the distance between theht flashed in front of Ark
-Your pet ‘Deimos’ has been forcefully recalled to the Netherworld You have received 50 of his health as dae
‘T-this……!’
Ark screaotten about his sunolls had attacked his su aasn’t difficult for him However, Deimos was completely surrounded and killed Deimos wasn’t a trivial su, he exceeded level 90 His stamina was 1,500 When he saw the information , Ark received a critical hit Ark received 750 daan to slip from his body
‘It can’t be! To die in this way……!’
Ah, a war So……Ark becanolls
“Hah, it was crazy”
Hyun-woo sighed as he pulled up the blanket He wasn’t in very good condition as the therrees He clearly had a cold It was reasonable Even though the weather was getting colder, he hadn’t been up to turn on the heater because of the gas cost He even washed with cold water so it wasn’t a surprise that he had a cold Then he ignorantly exercised at the crack of dawn, so his symptoms became more intense
‘I have to play the game……’
Hyun-woo stared at the game unit Game time was money In addition he died in such an absurd manner He wanted to restore the experience and stats that he lost But Ark soon shook his head
‘No, it’s better to rest for the moment’
It orth enduring If he acted unreasonably then the situationsick wasn’t the problem Ever since the health care privatization, the hospital had become incredibly expensive Without health insurance, it would cost Hyun-woo 100,000 won just for one visit to the hospital Once the price of injections and medicine was added, the cost was 150,000 It would also be a probleo to the hospital then he would be unable to play Hyun-woo bought a herb tonic tea and ate with the blanket wrapped around him But that hen Hyun-woo’s ordeal started
Since Hyun-woo had been disconnected for a long time, JusticeMan iht cold, within 1 hour all the rehabilitation members were over They came to visit the sick person once they heard the news Tears welled in Hyun-woo’s eyes He had thought the only place he wasn’t alone was in the ga In reality, Hyun-woo also had people who cared if he had a coldHe was so thankful that he couldn’t speak……but it didn’t even take a few htmare
Dangtangtang!
It was from the kitchen Hyun-woo stared horrified at the rice that had fallen to the ground
“My hands slipped……Hahaha, it’s nothing to worry about I bought a lot of ingredients to e”
Before he could process the words, there was another crashi+ng sound While Yapsab had been cleaning, he knocked over a vanity table The lotion bottle that had been on top of it broke and poured outThat wasn’t all While trying to th that the mop was torn apart
‘W-what the hell……?’
The 10 sturdyaccidents
“Jjak-tung hyung, there’s fire too! The pot……Huck, Bul-kkun Be careful lifting the co is broken so it is barely holding up the centre……”
