ACT 6 Ageiron
-Ageiron
A large city spread in front of you after escaping the lava cave This is the ancient city in the Netherworld where the Baran used to flourish, Ageiron The nature and peace loving Baran clan built the beautiful city around the world tree Yuzuria But noas ruled by the Nakujuk and the old beauty of Ageiron couldn’t be found anyrey rocks The world tree Yuzuria stands in the heart of the city while letting out a dismal atmosphere

‘We finally arrived’
Ark looked at the distant city The lava cave was like a tunnel piercing straight through the northern h the exit with ed to immediately move to the opposite side of the northern mountains Luckily the Nakujuk hadn’t occupied every part of the north After ed to find Ageiron which was their destination As Ark’s group starting e Beseutyu had said the northern forests were a lush, beautiful place But the north was actually more barren than the southAlmost everywhere was a desert covered with coarse sand with occasional dry woods appearing
‘Is this the influence of the world tree?’
Ark recalled what Bona had deciphered from the scroll The scroll stated that the Netherworld was initially an abundant place, regardless of north or south When the world tree became deprived of its power, the south which was the furthest away from it started to become barren This was the reason why the Nakujuk swareiron However, the world tree had been deprived of its power for 100 years In addition, the Nakujuk indiscriarrisons and the north became devastated On the other hand, the Baran’s enthusiased the south into a better environment
‘Is the situation reversing the reason why the Nakujuk want to conquer to south again?’
This was a scene which clearly showed the ih he no all the Nakujuk’s reasons, he still resented theht It was like a medieval castle with several layers of walls spread out in a circular forion between the walls And the heart of the city was the towering world tree Yuzuria which stretched out to touch the sky Of course it had changed to a dead twisted tree with shrivelled branches
‘We have to cross the city in order to revive Yuzuria?’
The group naturally sighed as they saw the vast nueiron Currently they only had 8 people ere Ark, Sha, Tazza and Yapsab But Ark’s purpose was to restore Yuzuria so there was no reason to fight every Nakujuk in Ageiron He had to stay undetected by the enemy until he reached Yuzuria It wouldn’t be easy if they were users like Jewel but the opponents were NPCs It was like an old ga the gaainst bosses)’ where using the appropriate skills would increase the odds in their favour
‘That’s why I picked a variety of professions’
“Everybody please eat this for the moment”
While taking a break, Ark created ed theenerously redients
“Oh, it is good to travel with you during moments like these”
The group were tired from the lava cave and quickly scraped clean the buffet In the roup’s equipment and repaired it It was truly a service which bled hi possible to raise the strength of the party Lariette’s buffs also raised the stats of the group considerably

Reading the co Currently Ark’s Survival Cooking dishes could be coood thing, there was always a downside If there weren’t any repeat dishes, it was possible to each 10 different types of food It was also subjected to one limitation Satiety If satiety reached 100 then they couldn’t eat any more dishes Even if the duration of a dish ran up, if his satiety was full than he wouldn’t be able to each another type Therefore he couldn’t cook excessively and his ingredients piled up
This was theThe effect of the dishes on stats was better But the increased effects also increased the amount of satiety Quite a few dishes had their satiety over 30 Thanks to that, only 3~5 of the finest quality dishes could be eaten at the same time
‘While the satiety and effects are highly effective, soredients are quite difficult to obtain’
Ark looked at the few precious ingredients he had left and clicked his tongue
‘These dishes are worth at least 2 gold……’
In this situation Ark had no time to worry about the expense of thethe stats of the special attack corps rose by a large a ‘Blade Maintenance’ and intermediate Laundry also increased his attack and defense Just like a thief, Ark learned special skills which put his buffs on a level similar to Lariette’s Shambala checked the secondary effectsand murmured in an astounded voice
“What on earth? It’s the first time I’ve seen such a jumbled up character like you”
“I also wonder about my identity”
Ark replied with a grin Once he finished the corps’ eiron They had left the skyrays while approaching If they approached Ageiron on the skyrays then it would instantly be a beehive From here onwards it was infiltration time They paid attention and hid when necessary
“The question is how to reach the world tree undetected……”
Shaeiron was the headquarters of the Nakujuk Just like bacteria proliferating, there were a huge nuh they were residents of the city, 70 of the dark and the edges of the full moon could be seen in the sky While Ark, Shaed his profession to ‘Guardian=Scout’ could use ‘Stealth,’ it wasn’t so that could be used indefinitely The duration tiuarantee that he would be able to remain undetected
“Huhuhu, it’s time to show our skills”
The rehabilitation members smiled and approached the front
“Yapsab, sneak into Ageiron and determine the most common items”
Yapsab used Stealth to roahly drew on the ground and explained
“It’s the keg They look like barrels to store wine They were scattered everywhere”
“A keg? Good”
Tazza nodded and took out several pieces of wood and tools fro Then he sawed at the wood and ha barrels
“Now everybody please enter the keg
Ark put on the wine keg and a e instantly appeared
-The Nakujuk’s wine keg has been reproduced using ‘Clone’
When using household goods to ie’ effect is applied Once ‘cae’ is applied, you will not be suspicious to hostile forces
If the opponent shows an interest in you then the ‘risk’ will increase ‘Risk’ will increase if you show certain suspicious behaviours in certain situations
<current risk: =”” 0=””>
Tazza had the ‘Counterfeit’ skill that he used in the pastAfter changing to ‘Guardian=Engineer,’ he ed to learn the ‘Clone’ skill
“Feng Shui!”
After Jjak-tung said this an inforain
-The effect of Feng Shui is applied to the party
Feng Shui is the unique skill of the Guardian=Strategist’ Using Feng Shui will increase resistance to all environh place will increase your da from a lower place will halve it In addition, if you hide your body in the darkness then the chances of being noticed by an enemy will decrease

‘The coood as expected’
Ark once again admired the variety of skills in New World But Ark also didn’t fall behind when it came to odd skills
“Now it’s my turn Dedric, satellite surveillance mode!”
“Okay!”
Dedric floated 100 metres into the air at Ark’s command and looked around
“In front…there is a watchtower on the left and right… One lookout in each tower…this can’t be ignored… And there are Nakujuk patrols wandering around the buildings and alleys…each one 50in a clockwise position…”
The information that Dedric relayed was displayed as red dots on Ark’sthe Nakujuk’s war
-Your pet Dedric has learned a new skill
Satellite Surveillance Mode (Beginner, Species Characteristics): You can observe the terrain for 50 metres and the enemy’s movements within a 100 metre area When the skill proficiency rises, it is possible to scout even further The information relayed by your summon will also be displayed on the map However, once activated the skill will consume 5 mana every 10 seconds
<infor=”” terrain,=”” npcs=”” and=”” users =”” will=”” be=”” shown=”” on=”” the=”” mini=”” map=””>
Thus Dedric was consistently forced to use the satellite surveillance e city, it still wasn’t easy to understand the intricate alleys of the city even with the keg’s lih probability of the Nakujuk noticed the kegs when they werearound They needed to understand the terrain and the enemy’s movements That was the main purpose of satellite surveillance mode
“Now let’s sneak into enemy territory”
The 8 kegs eiron
Do do do do……
“Stop! A patrol is approaching the corner”
Ark whispered in a low voice before entering Ageiron The special attack corps stoppedAfter a few seconds, 10 Nakujuk turned around the corner They surveyed the area and murmured as they saw the wine barrels
“Eh? Who placed some wine barrels here?”
“Hs”
-Risk:20
‘Hik, t-these bastards! Just go away!’
Ark prayed the Nakujuk wouldn’t look through the hole in the barrel Luckily one of the Nakujuk slapped his colleague’s shoulder and spoke
“Hey, do you want to get in trouble for drinking alcohol while on the job? Instead of doing it while on patrol, you can drink when there is a break”
“Okay, okay I just wanted to try out the keg”
The Nakujuk looked at the barrel before turning away When the patrol officer backed away, the risk level instantly went back down to 0
‘Phew…that bastard, if you’re just going to go away then why did you ?’
The special attack corps released the breaths they were holding and started ain
Do do do do, flinch! Do do do do, stand! Do do do do, slam!
The infiltration using the kegs was sed in large cities The topography made it easy to avoid the enes once they entered the interior so the risk level hadn’t risen Every time they saw the Nakujuk, they would wait anxiously until the patrol went away
‘Isn’t it exciting?’
Didn’t it feel like they wear sneaking around in the action ga the ene theAfter sneaking through the enemy lines for approximately 20 ateway The barrels huddled together near the checkpoint to the next district
“This area has a lot of watchtowers so it’ll be very dangerous”
The h enemy territory was the watchtowers NPCs in the watchtower had an incredibly wide surveillance range and anybody using stealth within that range would have it autouards looked at them In fact, as soon as the special attacks corps entered the range of vision the risk level iuards would definitely notice them if they tried to sneak past There were also 10 watchtowers in the vicinity of the checkpoint
“But the watchtowers aren’t coerous If you stick close to the hileyou But the watchtowers’ line of sight won’t overlap in the towers at 3 o’clock, 4 o’clock or 6 o’clock”
“We can’t move forward like this so we’ll have to handle it”
Shambala said in a low voice
“Fortunately 3 of the watchtowers are at an appropriate distance The both of us should take the ones at 3 o’clock and 4 o’clock, while the one at 6 o’clock has a low risk so Yapsab can take care of it”
“You’ll have to take care of it while the guards in the other towers are looking in the opposite direction Do you have confidence?”
“Who are you talking to? You idiot”
They had to defeat the watchtowers in order to infiltrate the city The only way to disable a watchtower in enemy territory was assassination Shahed and nodded his head
“Okay, let’s get startedPlease maintain ‘Trill’ the whole time I’ll tell you their movements”
Thus 3 kegs approached the watchtowers They stopped whenever a patrol approached and continued this until the 3 kegs arrived at the place where a ladder to the watchtoas Meanwhile Ark surveyed theBecause the situation in the watchtowers couldn’t be seen fros, they had to solely rely on Dedric’s satellite mode
