ACT 6 Dark Soul VS Beast Master
“That was fairly profitable”
Ark sht it would be easily solved but the work had taken ten days But this tihly profitable ten days During the ten days it took to devour the wendigoes and Soul Eater, his Spiritual Power had increased by 549! Currently Ark had 956 Spiritual Power He never thought it would be a nu of Fire and Descent of the Fire Draconian skills after the quest completion But was that all? He also carried the Fire Stone and rare Hearthstone he found in Dragonian Since the wendigoes were level 300~350, he didn’t gain thatbut he still ain 9 levels The results were more of a jackpot than he expected
“Honestly, at first I thought I had made a mistake’
When he first entered the chaos space and hunted the wendigoes, he hadn’t ured out Soul Extortion then he wouldn’t have been able to survive the wendigoes and the Soul Eater
‘As expected, I can’t throay any skills When I first received Soul Extortion, I thought it was just a skill I would seal up Excavation was also like that but there is a way to make use of all of them Besides…’
While hunting the wendigoes in the chaos space, he received half as s were bursting with japtem
‘Soredients were dropped by the Soul Eater but everything else are relatively cheap iteic iteold for it What should I do next after organizing all the japtem?’
He had finished all Fire Draconians’ quests He couldn’t coe of Ancient Relics
“Once in town then I can gather eons I’ve co possible”
Ark decided on a plan for the future and descended Hwaryong Mountain Then he found a small cave hidden on the bottom of the mountain This cave was a safety zone that he found while looking for the Fire Draconians No matter how many monsters wandered around New World, there were always hidden safety zones present The place that Ark told Buksil to as this cave
‘Ten days have passed so I wonder what Buksil has been doing?’
Once he was on the mountain than that person would have noArk quite a lot of stress Ark entered the cave to look for Buksil Then his foot caught on so and he fell down
‘Huh? What is this?’
He looked down and saw an empty bottle of alcohol
‘What the? This liquor bottle? That brat Buksil Was he drinking while I wasn’t here?’
Ark usted face and kicked the empty bottle It wasn’t just one Eround at the entrance of the cave while boxes of alcohol were also piled up It was at least hundreds of bottles! The cave seemed like an alcohol warehouse
‘This cheeky bastard I told hi around…… Yet now he’s having a drinking party? He lost his head coet this much alcohol…’
Ark was grinding his teeth together when he suddenly realized so
‘Wait? That guy Where did he get the money to buy this much alcohol?’
Even if a e to buy it, alcohol was quite expensive in New World The cheapest bottle was at least 2~3 gold In soold Even hundreds of bottles of cheap alcohol would cost several hundred gold Buksil only received a sold Then ith these bottles?
‘Don’t tell me that bastard……?’
“Ah no! There is no way! That Buksil bastard!”
Ark shrieked as he thought of the worst situation and dived into the cave He quickly arrived at the campsite inside the cave
‘……?’
An i in front of his eyes
“Kuah Good! Hehehe!”
Buksil rubbed at the fat on his stoood up to that pointArk’s eyes popped out at the other people present
“Uwah, uwah, the alcohol is good, the alcohol is good!”
His eyes felt like it would fall out fro alcohol and Baekgu who he thought had becoa It was incomprehensible But this was not the end
“Hahaha, is it delicious? Delicious?”
“Wah, it is absolutely delicious It is the first tiood”
“Oh, you understand the taste of alcohol I really do like you!”
The huge figure who patted Baekgu’s back while holding the alcohol bottle was Bread
“Hey, don’t do that I don’t want dog hair to fly in this narrow area!”
The woman who threw the bottle at Bread was his partner Redian People he never expected were gathered inside the cave and having a drinking party Now all their eyes si
“……”
An aard silence floithin the cave for a short time
‘W-What on earth is going on?’
Ark was the one who showed a response first But Ark ignored Baekgu, Bread and Redian and just headed towards Buksil Ark grabbed Buksil’s collar and shook him
“You, you bastard What is going on?”
“Ouch, what, what the?”
“The alcohol bottles! Did you buy then alcohol bottles with my money? Did you sell them? Did you sell them? Did you sell my japtem?”
Yes, that was the reason Ark rushed in It wasn’t necessary to say again but Buksil was Ark’s personal caathered was left in Buksil’s bag Ark orried that Buksil would’ve eone for a week If Buksil disposed of all those iteold? Norht of that There was a contract where Buksil would receive a huge penalty if he disposed of Ark’s goods selfishly But the supposedly dead Baekgu was alive so he didn’t knohat Buksil would do frou, Bread or Redian any was money! He needed to know if Buksil had really embezzled his money
“japtem? Sell? Heh!”
Buksil looked at hied Needless to say, it was possible to drink alcohol in New World The person would return to nor That was the state Buksil was in Buksil had at least 10 alcohol in hi by the smell and he shouted
“You’re always like that Money, money, money! Do your eyes only see money?”
“…What, what the?”
“Baekgu has returned alive and the first thing you talk about ismoney… I’m tired of it! damn! Yes, I sold a little bit of japtem and drank alcohol Why? Can’t I do that? Can’t I drink a bit of alcohol after following you every day and being exploited? I sold all of it to buy alcoholWhat will you do?”
‘He soldalcohol?’
Ark looked at Buksil dued from his mouth
“…… Do you want to live?”
Buksil flinched and took a step back but it was only for a brief moment
“Why are you staring at me like that? da your words? I’ve been enduring it so far But now I can’t stand it No, I won’t put up with it Then go ahead and kill me! Do it, do it!”
Buksil lost hisalcohol Ark also lost his ed to alcohol Ark looked at Buksil with anger and laughed before
“…… Kill”
“Kill? Yes, kill me!”
“Wait a moment!”
Then Bread pulled the collar of the excited pig and moved forward He looked at Ark and said
“That’s not it Is there a reason to react like that in this situation? Don’t you know? Shouldn’t you react to my presence first?”
“……Let go of the pig”
“No, no, I won’t No, there see about where this alcohol coht it, not him”
“What?”
Ark’s eyes started to return to norhed
“Hah He didn’t knoas going on but he caluy explained He seeht the alcohol for everybody This guy just drank the alcohol By the way, don’t you seem to be quite hated? He only drank a little bit yet he keeps on cursing you”
“Is it true?”
“What? That he cursed you?”
“No, that my japtem is safe”
He already knew that Buksil was full of complaints Naturally the talk about his japtem would be more important for him
“Why would I lie about it? Do you want to see the receipts?”
Ark gave a huge sigh of relief After that, he finally realized that the people in front of him were Bread and Redian
“By the hy are you guys here?”
“You finally asked”
“This bastard, what do you want? Are you now holding hostages?”
“Hostages?”
“Aren’t they hostages? Then why are you here with Buksil?”
Then Buksil shouted angrily from behind Bread
“Hey, don’t u back!”
“What?”
“Let’s clear up the situation Please sit down I’ll explain”
Bread put the liquor bottle away and indicated a seat Ark looked at Bread and hesitated He hadn’t noticed it because of Buksil but the situation was quite serious Bread and Redian were his enemiesAnd it would be difficult for Ark to avoid both their attacks in this narrow cave He couldn’t guarantee his odds even in a 1-on-1 fight It wasn’t necessary to talk about 2 against 1 But it wasn’t possible to run away Even if he could get away, Bread already noticed the relationshi+p between Ark and Buksil If he didn’t then he wouldn’t be waiting for Ark in a place like this The moment Ark tried to escape then Bread would use Buksil as a hostage
‘By the way, Bread’s attitude see recklessly like last time’
When Ark didn’t lower his guard to sit down, Bread explained the situation The reason for this situation went all the way back to Bosaga village When Ark had set the guards on Bread and Redian, they had planned to escape frouards and hid around the outskirts of the village They planned to track Ark when he left the village But it was the bandit group that caught Bread’s attention The thieves who ed hi hiet Ark’s next destination
“Then I appeared”
Bread bragged Even though there were 10 thieves, Bread and Redian were furious about the aniu, they decided to return the pitiful dog to his owner It was only after they asked Baekgu that they discovered he was in Ark’s party
‘Isn’t that like ju!’
Ark shot a glare at Baekgu as just eating in a corner However, Baekgu had his own reasons for telling theu didn’t tell the thieves Ark’s destination no oal of the thieves was Buksil However, Bread’s goal was Ark As long as Buksil was okay, he honestly didn’t care what happened to Ark But the biggest reason he blabbed about Ark’s destination was to get back to Buksil
“Ugh, Ark… I’m disappointed”
Baekgu also smelt of alcohol
“I heard everything from Bread-nim”
‘Why is he referring to Bread so for informally to me?’
The dog crept closer to the pig when he saw Ark frowning Since the entire group was drunk, Baekgu’s nerves had becoer
“What are you looking at? Didn’t Bread-ni your confrontation at sea? Aren’t you the one who deceived hi various lies and ran away? Are these the actions of Hero Maban’s descendant? Aren’t you embarrassed? I’m disappointed, disappointed! AhThe elder believed in you so ment……”
“What? Embarrassed? Disappointed?”
Ark glared back But Baekgu just snorted and took a gulp frou had instantly blabbed about Ark’s destination for this reason Although he was branded a traitor, he still felt pride as aclan Furthermore, Bread was the one who saved him frou becauided Bread here for ‘justice’
“That’s right You made the mistake!”
