Vol 16 Chapter 6 (1/2)

ACT 6 The Carnival (ⅠⅠ)

“It is a haunted house this time?”

Ark’s veins popped out on his forehead as he glared at the eyeballs The place that Buksil entered was a common site in amuse where adults could find enjoyment like a child for several minutes Frankly, Ark couldn’t understand why people would pay money to enter a place like that

‘Well, it does seem to be different from the haunted houses in reality……’

Anyway, Ark stood in front of the haunted castle and realized that it was at a different level Unlike the nors, it was a horror castle It was a real house that had been reic was a part of the daily life in New World Just like the 300 ke, the experience of the horror castle would no doubt be beyond his expectations That was exactly the problem

‘Now’s not the ti around!’

Was this that pig’s idea of escaping? First the 300 k on the lake, the theatre carriage and now a haunted houseaway to these sorts of places? Wasn’t that pig just playing around? Or maybe he just wanted Ark to suffer? ……He conteht

“Turns out there aren’t that many places to hide here Wait, what is this switch? Do not touch? Aha, this h!”

The eyeball suddenly burst out screaent voice

“What’s going on? What happened?”

“S-so rolled over…… Uh, what’s this? It’s soft and squishy? Hik! It’s a thief!”

“Thief? Were you found by the thieves?”

“Hik, hik, the thing that fell was the head of a thief!”

“You stupid asshole! Are you playing around? Why would you touch a switch that says do not touch?”

“But, but…”

“Dammit, just run away! I’ll enter immediately so just escape for the moment! Keep up the communication and tell me if there’s any unique terrain Do you understand?”

“Okay! Hik! Baekgu, let’s go!”

‘Just hearing the situation through words is crazy’

He couess the current situation through the eyeball But he didn’t know exactly where Buksil was or what kind of situation he was in so it was quite frustrating

“Anyway, the situation is urgent I have to hurry…”

Ark started walking forward before he winced and stopped Aat Ark While Ark ad been thinking, Bread and Redian had caught up with him

“Huhuhu I didn’t understand at first but now I know better than to underestiet away I made sure to memorize your scent”

Bread had used Beast Spirit Possession of the dog and used its sense of smell

“Now, shall we play like a short tio?”

“I won’t miss this time”

Redian also muttered as she shot Ark a poisonous look

‘That’s right dauys?’

Ark really felt like his breath was being blocked The opponent was the level 400 Beast Master Bread! Even if he was properly prepared for the battle, he couldn’t be assured against that opponent Ark had also failed to recover the health that he lost in the previous battle He had also only recovered 300 mana In this state, there was a 100 in 100 chance he would lose

‘There is no way to get away from them’

Ark’s eyesto one side Both her hands currently contained icians and knehat kind of skill it was It was the assistive ic, a chant was needed to be icians could only use one hand but Redian had ic on standby with both hands

‘The Quick Spell will make her attacks faster But……’

He didn’t knohy but Bread was eager to fight against Ark in a 1-on-1 battle If Bread’s purpose was just to step on Ark then he would’ve called the nearby Redian to help And Redian always complained about Bread’s attitude

“If Redian is preparing the ‘Quick Spell’ then there is a high possibility it is a ic’

Redian planned to tie Ark’s foot while Bread settled it A ician who had the ability toa movement restriction spell with Quick Spell It was also in both hands so she intended to tie his two feetIt wasn’t an exaggeration to say that he wouldn’t be able to avoid the ic

‘Even without the ic, it is impossible to run away’

Unfortunately, both of the in escaping and leaving Buksil alone Of course, the result was the same even if he defeated Bread and Redian It was a dilemma!

While Ark was thinking, Bread approached with his bayonet

“I’ll settle it this time”

“Okay, good You want to settle it But can’t you just wait a bit? I really do have so incredibly important to do It is a requestCan’t you wait a few ht between us?”

Ark tried to appeal to the pair Until now, he had never asked for anything from other people in New World Ark was proud of that in his oay But noasn’t the time for his pride Wouldn’t it be a problem if Isyuram couldn’t catch the wanted crih to fall for it again

“This bastard, do you think I look funny? Do you think I’d be fooled twice?”

……Once again, this hy his normal behaviour was important

“No, this tient If you would just listen to the circumstances……”

“No questions!”

Bread gripped his bayonet with both hands and approached Ark Suddenly there was a noisy sound and dozens of people ca

“Over there, it’s that person!”

“What, what the?”

Bread hesitated as the guards ca his bayonet in front of dozens of guards The incouards surrounded Ark

“He fits the description Yes, we need you to come with us”

“W-what’s going on?”

Ark was at a loss frouard

“A report from the Festive Committee has come in just now There has been several lawless behaviour in some of our facilities that interfered with sales Your description was a the information”

While chasing after Buksil and the thieves, Ark’s description had been reported to the guards by the duck boat operator With the festival being disrupted so arrison to be dispatched

“But I wasn’t the one who broke the guard rail and seized the duck boats I……”

“Yes, we’ll listen to the uard headquarters Arrest him”

Things had really gotten worse

Aside fro hassled by the village guards? Of course, it was possible to get away froh Ark had caused various scenes of confusion, he hadn’t done any substantial property dauards listened to the situation then it was likely he would be released with a light penalty or warning But what if Buksil was caught by the thieves in the meantime

‘I’ crazy……’

Then a question suddenly popped into Ark’s head

‘Wait? Why are the guards only talking to me?’

Ark stared at Bread and Redian Bread also appeared in the parade with Ark but the audience and director was satisfied so there shouldn’t be any co at the festival for the guards to be interested in him But the issue wasn’t the festival

‘Bread and Redian were chaotic when I o!’

Yes, Bread and Redian were chaotic when they were leading the pirate fleet In addition, it wasn’t a standard level of chaotic In New World, chaotic users who coly redderWhen Ark had met the two of them for the first time, their ID was so red it was almost black Ark didn’t know it yet but the reason Redian and Bread have such high chaotic levels was because they broke into Haman fort and killed NPCs at the tourist infor NPCs stacked a fewusers

‘In addition, Bread was beating up that group of thieves just then The thieves just then aren’t chaotic But now their IDs……?’

It wasn’t necessary to confirht next to them didn’t take an interest then that meant they had a nore after they coo? Ark only knew of two different ent But that was a profession specific skill of the Saint assassin What would a regular player use?

‘That’s right, there is that!’

A smile formed on Ark’s mouth

“It’s the after them!”

“What?”

“They’re brutal criminals who killed a lot of people!”

Ark pointed to Bread and Redian as the guards turned their heads

“But they weren’t in the reports……”

“It is a lie, please watch carefully!”

Ark quickly pulled out two scrolls and shouted

“[Sword of Truth] activate! Target Redian and Bread!”

“Heok, t-that bastard…!”

Bread and Redian freaked out and screamed as they saw the situation When the necessary conditions were et! When the scroll was triggered, two enormous swords appeared in the sky and hit the back of their head When [Sword of Truth] was activated, Ark expected it to hit the target Yes, the reason the chaotic Bread and Redian was able to walk around the village was thanks to the [Lie] scroll [Sword of Truth] would only be triggered if the target users were under the effect of the [Lie] scroll! It was a scroll to release the effect of [Lie]

‘Huhuhu, it worked as expected’

Ark smirked as Bread and Redian was hit by the [Sword of Truth] In fact, Ark hadn’t gathered the scrolls intentionally He hadn’t felt the need for it But since he collected ht the scrolls in order to help Ronnie [Sword of Truth] was one of those scrolls Anyway, their IDs instantly turned red when hit by the [Sword of Truth] Then the guards suddenly re and shouted with surprise

“Ah! That is…?”

“I remember They’re the leaders of the pirate party who made the ferry sink last time!”

“Now the pirates are trying to attack the festival, catch them!”

The guards shouted with indignation and rushed forward

“God dammit, Quick Spell activate, Vortex trap!”

Redian activated the ic with the Quick Spell she had prepared An enoruards running up to themIt was the Vortex Trap which caused stiffness for 2 seconds and decreased e nua festival When theones became even more resentful

“Huk, t-those guys……!”

“They are resisting Send a signal and gather the guards!”

One guard blehistle and other guards flocked frolared at Ark as the situation deteriorated

“That bastard……!”

“Idiot, now’s not the tio!”

After Redian raised her voice angrily, they both ran away NoBread and Redian were, they couldn’t take care of all the guards Redian once again used the prepared Quick Spell to activate Vortex Trap and hurriedly ran away Ark s backs

“Kukukuku, this is why you have to live a good life”

“Hah? Master is saying that?”

“Shut up! I never committed brutal acts like that”

Ark glared at Racard and declared sharply Anyway, he uards If the two of the beans with rice for a month

“Would Bread and Redian be caught that easily?”

However, they couldn’t annoy Ark in Bosaga village anymore

“Now those two are dealt with I need to look for Buksil quickly!”

Ark ran towards the horror castle with Racard

“Huhuhuhu, a stupid human has visited Would you like to step foot into this castle of fear? If you have the courage than 50 silver……”

When he arrived in front of the horror castle, the NPC stretched out his hand Ark threw the coin with an annoyed expression and ran into the horror castle

Ohhhhhh, kya kya kya kya, kuoooooh!

When he entered the horror castle, a fearso and intihosts and monsters! The acoustics truly created a scary atmosphere But the problem wasn’t the noises

“damn, what is this?”

When he coh the eyeball earlier, he didn’t knohere Buksil was It was norhtly conpost also talk about a maze? But when he came in, he didn’t realize it would be this complicated Dozens of paths in the maze spread out like a cobweb froeon terrain was, it norraphy skill which eon, he never wandered a route twice But this was a ride not a dungeon The cartography skill wasn’t available In addition, there weren’t any distinct geographic features to be marked

“How can I find Buksil in here?”

“Waaahhh! Ark-ni? Please come soon There are a lot of them in the area!”

The eyeball explained soh features but it wasn’t any help He didn’t kno to find the place The horror castle also had soIn the end, he had no choice but to go around and look for the place Buksil mentioned Ark worried for a while before he said

“It can’t be helped It is better to split up and look for hiether”

“But Master, that guy is a skeleton”

Racard muttered as he tapped Razak Just like Razak said, this was a village A skeleton wandering alone could cause problemsBut Ark just shook his head

“This place is a haunted house People who are disguised as monsters are intentionally scattered around so there won’t be an uproar if a skeleton is seen But Razak has no way ofcontact if Buksil is found so he’ll ain but don’t let them catch Buksil Once you’ve found him, do whatever it takes to protect him”

“Okay Hey, skeleton! Follow me”

Clack clack clack, clack clack clack clack!

Ark and his su for Buksil

————————————————————————————————

“Over there!”

“I saw him run over there!”

It was an underground area with old coffins and tools everywhere There was dozens of people running around and crying out in loud voices Buksil had run around thethe thieves for 10 minutes, and the 20 thieves had narrowly missed hiroup split up and started looking for Buksil However, it wasn’t easy to find one person in a maze Furthermore, there were traps laid out everywhere on the castle floor The traps weren’t ones that would threaten lives but so or were slides which moved them to lower floors, so it wasn’t easy to catch Buksil However, Buksil was also worried about falling into the traps He had been caught a few tiuised asaround lost Therefore the thieves had caught up with Buksil and the siege was narrowing

“He is definitely near here You guys over here and you guys look over there!”

Buksil jumped every time he heard the voice of the thieves

“Hik, there are thieves everywhere! I’m surrounded!”

“Master, there is a hole in that corner!”

At that u pointed at a corner and shouted When he turned his head, there was a sruesoes prepared in the horror castle for fun……it was also the only escape method for Buksil to survive Buksil ran towards the hole without looking Just as he was about to squeeze his abundant body in, a zombie suddenly fell out of the hole

“Aaaagh!”

Buksil screarinned and walked to the other side

“Hihihi, it is another success Noho shall I tease next?”

Buksil trehed and muttered

“Ah Master, it was just a fake monster”

“I know, I know But……”

Tears fell down Buksil’s face as he spoke Of course Buksil knew that all the uaranteed In addition, he had encountered all sorts ofwith Ark There was no reason to shrink in fear when he saw aafraid was different Didn’t people watch horror movies for the sensation of fear? In that unexpected situation, anyone would be surprised Thus Buksil shed tears with every encounter in the game

“Eh, this way!”

Then a few thieves shouted from the opposite corner

“Hik, B-Baekgu!”

“Master, please hurry!”

Baekgu bit Buksil and dragged hih the hole

“damn, that bastard!”

The thieves cursed and tried to follow Suddenly 10 black hands appeared and grabbed the thieves’ clothes This was also one of the events of the horror castle Thanks to these events, the thieves had ended upBuksil a few times When the thieves shook off the hands and entered the hole, Buksil couldn’t be seen anymore

“Daain!”

“If only there wasn’t that NPC just now… This place is really irritating!”

“But we’ve aluy soon”

“Yes, now it’s only a e earlier We’ll continue down this hile souys will block the other side No matter where he appears, we’ll catch him shortly”

A thief kicked a coffin with an irritated expression as they ran down the passage After a while, the coffin which the thief kicked opened and Buksil and Baekgu eed

“Huk huk huk, I’m alive!”

Sweat dripped down Buksil’s face as he u had learned too late that the hole was actually a trap As soon as they passed through the hole, the trap had been triggered and shut the two of the coffin But it was because Buksil was trapped in the can that he was able to elude the thieves Buksil sighed with relief before he suddenly ry expression
