Vol 6 Chapter 9 (1/2)

ACT 9 Legend of the Unicorn

“Is there really no way?”

“Of course not”

The ician didn’t bother blinking Ark looked at the bag lying on the table with pained eyes It was the second material required for ‘Slis’ After he had finished collecting all the teeth of the hook bat, he wandered around the Argus Mountains looking for the corrupted fairy wings The Monster Book had written that they were very rarely found in the Argus Mountains However, he couldn’t find it even after a few days After going around hunting monsters for a few days, Ark accidentally discovered infors

“The corrupted fairy wings? Let’s see? Well I don’t knohat to say Oh, you should go see the ht know”

“Madusein?”

“He is a ician that moved here before it becaredients near the village entrance The store is arranged in such a way thatthere…I can’t understand that friend at all”

Galen had introduced hirey haired ician He didn’t set up the store to make money, but as a quiet place to hen settlers cahed and replied

“It would just head towards the ground It isn’t easy to obtain the corrupted fairy wings Every few months, the fairies would have a cereed into a new one It is like a snake shedding its skin Then wings that would fall out are known as the corrupted fairy wings”

“Then it would just fall onto the ground?”

“That’s right There are quite a few fairies alive in the Argus Mountains”

“Thank you”

Ark quickly gave a greeting as he was about to leave

“Are you going to search the bare ground?”

“Yes?”

“Have you ever seen a fairy? You haven’t seen it? Don’t you find it strange that you’ve been living in the Argus Mountains and haven’t even caught a glimpse of one?”

“That’s right”

Ark nodded with a confused expression Cous Mountains that he hadn’t explored However, he never saw any corrupted fairy wings let alone a fairy Madusein clicked his tongue and continued talking

“The fairies are different The fairy can travel between this diht not even exist in this world Do you understand? Naturally if the skin falls, it would fall in the other dimension You will require very special skills to obtain it Just like me”

Madusein ru on the table It was the ‘Corrupted Fairy Wings’ His intention was to force Ark who had no ‘special skills’ to obtain it, to buy it froh he could wander around the ht be better to buy it off him However, Ark became dizzy the moment he heard the price

“3 gold each You said you needed 100? Then that would be 300 gold”

300 gold! The prize old and the aold He had also obtained 100 gold frous Mountains It was as if Madusein intentionally nary Then Ark spoke without considering

“I’ll search for it using my oer”

“Okay”

Ark frantically wandered the Argus Mountains after that But like Madusein said, ‘special skills’ were required After a couple of days, Ark eventually found hih he tried to decrease it by even 1 copper, Madusein didn’t budge

“I heard that you didn’t run this business to make money?”

“It also isn’t good to suffer a loss ina business”

As expected, it wasn’t easy talking to inal native like Galen and was an NPC that had only recently irated here There was no intiredients while crying tears of blood

‘da all those fangs……’

After all the money he invested in the ‘Slime’s Immortality Pill,’ if the item wasn’t worth it then he would die However, it also old Then of course the stuff would have value With those expectations, he eventually decided to buy the item

‘Yes, this is an investanizes the iteain It isn’t necessary to worry about 300 gold In order to earn a lot oftoo It is coer investment would mean more profit’

Ark………if he didn’t think like that then he wouldn’t have been able to endure it

‘Anyway, I have the corrupted fairy wings now……there are only two ingredients left?’

“Information Window”

‘Slime’s Immortality Pill ‘ Recipe

Essence of Glowing Slime Jelly 1/1

Unicorn horns 0/1

Corrupted Fairy Wings 100/100

The roots of a Mandragora that has received ht 78/100

Tooth of a hook bat 1000/1000

It took him six days to obtain the tooth of a hook bat He wasted three days on the corrupted fairy wings and eventually had to spend 300 gold to buy it The a this wasn’t a joke But now it is ale

‘I can find the Mandragora herb as I wander the mountain……’

The Mandragora was a herb only found in the Argus Mountains In fact, he had also seen the Mandragora when he caus Mountains in the past But he didn’t dare to even touch it Just like the corrupted fairy wings, soredients required special skills in ingredient foraging The Red Bee Honey was a high class ingredient where if you didn’t sprinkle it with the erous The Mandragora was one of those special herbs The roots of the Mandragora were in the shape of a person, and when it was pulled out fro scream It was a sound that would instantly kill any user or NPC with a 100 probability When Ark was a beginner, he could only check the texture of the cold ground

However, Ark soon found a solution The copy of the ingredient sent by the Magic Institute had details about the scent of the Mandragora Ark was not a dog However, he had a nu Ark instructed Deiora from a distance away As an undead, Deiic of other ora without any concerns about its cry However, he needed the Mandragora that had received light froht, he wasa few but that was easily solved with time

‘The probleuy……’

Ark breathed out a sigh as he read the recipe The only thing left was the horn of a unicorn It was in fact the biggest problem Ark had tried to find the unicorn’s horn first Because it was different froredients and only required one, he had tried to put it away quickly The exact location of the unicorn was even recorded in the Monster Book It was located at the Moonlight Pond in the northern part of the Argus Mountains But no matter how hard he looked, he couldn’t even find a trace of the unicorn’s shadow After a couple of days, he had given up to go hook bat hunting However, he could no longer put it off

‘There should be a way to catch it somehow……’

Ark lived in the area around the Moonlight Pond But a unicorn still didn’t appear A whole day passed

‘Perhaps the Monster Book rong?’

What other reason was there for it not appearing In the end, Ark was atteht Pond

“Hihihihing!”

Suddenly a cry was heard froht Pond When he flinched and turned around, wasn’t that a white horse running around the pond?

‘It’s a unicorn!’

Ark iht Pond However, when he arrived he only saw the unicorn’s shadow as it ran away Its caution was enormous Since then, the saht Pond until it showed up Once he was behind it, its form would be seen in the distance When he attempted to ambush it with his summons, the situation was the sans of a monster, it wouldn’t appear And its speed was so quick that Dedric couldn’t even catch up with it while flying

“Unbelievable”

There was a tight knot in Ark’s storedients were so difficult to collect that soredient was left But if this pattern continued then there would be no way to obtain it Even if he chased after it for one thousand years, he wouldn’t be able to catch it After Ark spent one day on it, he eventually wandered back to Lancel Village He had been hunting while waiting for the unicorn and had a pile of japtem built up

“Ark-hyungnim, you’re back?”

When he entered the village, the guard NPCs greeted him happily He knew those people They were the thieves that had coraduated fronment And they had specially trained in a career to help the village

“Ark-hyungniuards with Big Hyung-nim’s permission”

“hello? I started working part-tieneral store today This is the help out the livelihood of the training centre and ease Roco-nuna’s concerns a little bit”

“I’m e-nim’s house later”

Whenever he visited the village, the thieves were report to him Thanks to that Ark’s depresseda new life The nue was now 130 peopleThe athter and they’re started to fix up the surrounding roads now that there are a lot of people to help It was the develope It would mean a direct profit for Ark

‘Okay, okay Work her’

Ark se should develop and becoes would affect the real estate market value It was natural for prices of houses in liveable towns to rise If Lancel Village was established as a place with good real estate thenwith money to buy the houses Then Ark would sit down and earn e with houses When the house had been empty for a while, sometimes he would come back to find items

-Meow Elder Hassan has sent a gift (10 glowing molars)

-Galen the teift (Southern Speciality Fruit Basket)

Ark received overwhele When Ark left the house eifts like these The Meoould give leather from the monsters they hunted in the vicinity, the raccoons would leave crafts to decorate the house while sometimes Hanson would provide a map with a new area discovered A lot of it didn’t cost a lot of money but they were all free ite free

‘Huhuhu, what gifts will there be this time?’

Ark excitedly went to his house

“Oppa!”

Just as he entered the house, he heard Roco’s voice

“Ara? Roco? How are you here?”

“I haven’t seen Oppa for a while so I stopped by for a moment Oh, but what kind of house looks like this? The dust on the table……ghosts would appear So I decided to do a little bit of cleaning

Roco held a broo He remembered that every time he ca to take the role of a wife? It is definitely such a shape

“But why do you look like that? The armour is shabby as well as your face, and did you wash at all?”

“Well it is in the game……”

“Heung! It is obviously in reality as well Haven’t you been playing the game for 20 hours every day? You’ve probably haven’t been washi+ng and just eating noodles Isn’t that right?”

She was completely correct He played 20 hours a day When he played for that long it was a pain to do anything else When at home he would barely wash and he would often eat seaweed rolls in the game unit

“I still go out for training”

“That’s because the teacher is severe and you’ll receive hell for not going”

“That’s it”

“I don’t care whether it is a gaood etiquette to be clean Other people ame……”

Roco continuedher mouth Then she looked around and quickly pulled Ark to the door

“It is dangerous here for the moment so follow me”

“What? Dangerous?”

“Shhh, Jana was sleeping on the neighbouring roof just now And Sarah is helping her father map new areas but if she knows you’re back then it would be troublesome So come with me quickly!”

Jana, Sarah and Roco were still having a war of nerves to try and rip on Ark Anyway, Roco led Ark to a stream nearby

“Take off your arame or reality, aa few dishes to the hospital Unlike New World, you should take a break to eat properly”

“…………”

After receiving Roco’s e confession, they’re ood up to there Ark used playing the ga But the afterly serious situation Roco had started acting like his wife But coae………maybe she beca their affection However, the bigger issue was that Ark didn’t hate her nagging After his mother was hospitalized for a few years, there was no one around to nag him He didn’t know it hi soot used to it

“Look That’s a lot better”

Roco was shaking off the moisture from the leather armour Unlike reality, in New World there was no need to dry the leather armour After the laundry was finished, the leather aric Restoration, it wouldn’t get rid of the dirt In addition, there was no need to reject the 5 increase in defense for 4 hours buff

“Thank you”

Ark wore the armour with an embarrassed expression

“Oppa, how long will you stay in the village?”

“Why?”

“When you have tiood view of this area We haven’t been able toSo it would feel like a short date Yes? When it coo to a nearby area and look around”

Roco asked with eager and sparkling eyes The landscape of New World was so beautiful that it couldn’t be compared to the real world It was difficult to look at the mountains from a suburb in Seoul, but New World was different There were jungles just like the Amazon and thick forests There were places that haven’t been touched by hu also made it more fun for the users…… If a suitable place was found, it wasn’t necessary to take an airplane and fly to a foreign country Recently, there was the trend of lovers going on dates inside the game New World was the best environo away There were cities with theround There were strange food and no over Dating in New World was so popular, that there were even websites on the Internet that specialized in it If monsters showed up on the date, the lovers could show off in front of each other and gain a lot of attention For Ark who lived in the ga

‘It’s not a bad idea to cool my head off a little bit’

“Okay, I’ll have a quick look around”

“Hohoho, then follow me I’ll show you a wonderful place”

Roco guided him to a place that Ark had visited already However, it looked like an entirely different place once he saw it again

Was this scenery always here?’

When he was hunting, he didn’t pay any attention to the scenery around him

“How is it? Is it okay? All the rehabilitation brothers have co oppa even said that he would bring his girlfriend here again in the future Ah, did you know that Jjak-tung oppa had a girlfriend? There is an 11 year age difference between them so I called him a cradle robber”

Roco stood next to him and babbled in a pleasant voice However, Ark was already trying to navigate the Androhts his head was full of

‘………that damn horse, should I ask Roco to come and help me take care of it?’

That was the idea that Ark suddenly thought of The beautiful scenery, woman and unicorn……the combination reminded him of a fantasy movie he watched when he was a kid

‘Wait? Unicorn? Wasn’t a unicorn a monster with one horn? And the unicorn I saas a horse Speaking of the unicorn……?’

Ark quickly pulled out the Monster Book

Unicorn Habitat: The Moonlight Pond in the Argus Mountains

The unicorn is aits power, it can sometimes cross the dih it has a lot of wariness, its nature is good and it likes a righteous person If soht away and never appear The unicorn’s favourite things are babies and an innocent maiden In particular, it likes the form of an innocent maiden and is drawn instinctively to herThe unicorn horn has powerful redient Thanks to the indiscri to capture them, they rarely show their form on this earth But there is a ruht Pond in the Argus Mountains

‘That’s right, as expected……!’

Ark also remembered similar contents frohter as bait to catch the unicorn Then the unicorn went to sleep in the daughter’s lap and the man attacked itOf course that was the reason the unicorn didn’t appear for Ark The unicorn would be wary of an alert man who didn’t even hen he was dirty

‘But an innocent maiden…?’

According to the legend, it would appear at her foot? And there was such a worasped Roco’s hand and asked

“Roco! Can you help me out?”

“Yes? What is it?”

“I need your assistance in catching a monster”

Roco blushed under Ark’s attention and asked

“Are you certain I can help?”

“Yes, your help is definitely necessary!”

“I understand”

“However………”

Ark folded his arht about it, it probably wouldn’t be that simple to catch a unicorn The woman who summoned the unicorn in the movie wasn’t simply a woman, but one with a lot of charms Of course he didn’t mean Roco’s appearance Objectively, Ark would score Roco 8 out of 10 points Moreover, in New World people could slightly iood looks

‘Plastic surgery in New World……that is the problem……’

The probleh this plastic surgery In New World, perfor artists were considered ordinary He didn’t knohat the e appearance in New World was very high, there was no guarantee that it would be te a fatal blow Seduction! Unfortunately, Roco didn’t have that However, Ark didn’t consider it impossible

‘Then I guess I have to use that method’

Ark checked a recipe anddish

Drink of Bewitchment

It is a drink that has been created through the refinement of several herbs Once drunk, a subtle scent of temptation would float from the body If you have so this chance!

<increases charm=”” by=”” 300=”” for=”” 1=”” hour=””>

The quiet lake shi+ning in the entleon the shore of the lake with a wo a harp It indeed looked like a picturesque and beautiful sceneIn addition, half of the fantastic at while the other half was due to the Drink of Bewitchment

‘Now, she is equipped with everything that a unicorn loves Come out! You stupid horse!’

Ark was enthusiastically hiding on a hill not too far away How much tietting a little tired when so approached froendary unicorn! Roco jumped at the sudden appearance of the unicorn Then she sain

‘Okay, good Incite it just like that!’

Roco who received Ark’s support continued playing calilant unicorn narrowed the distance Roco smiled and whispered in a sweet voice

“Yes, be good Come on Aren’t you tired?”

The unicorn seeht away Was it planning to lie down on Roco’s leg? Ark wondered if a creature that ary of everything would suddenly change its mind just because of a woman He wanted to throay his patience and just run out straight away But the unicorn was a clever guy If it ran ahile he was approaching it, there was a high chance that he wouldn’t be able to catch it again

‘According to legend, the unicorn would go to sleep on the maiden’s lap where it would be cut down by hunters’

As expected, the unicorn propped its chin on Roco’s knee and fell asleep while listening

“Okay Now Deimos, Dedric Gently approach at a crawl fronal”

“I understand I don’t like that bastard”

Clack clack……

Deireeable Anyway, Ark and his summons narrowed the distance from three directions Just as they were a few metres away, the sound of broken leaves was heard from Dei However, the unicorn stood up with its ears pricked

‘Oh dauy’s ears so sensitive?’

“Deimos, Dedric Now!”

When Ark raised his voice, Deimos and Dedric immediately rushed forward The unicorn was surprised and tried to retreat It alternated looking between Roco and Ark

Were they working together? Its glowing eyes seemed to ask

He was angry at the unicorn while Roco felt guilty and avoided its eyes while crying It seemed to have felt betrayed However, Ark wasn’t about to listen to the complaints of a monster

“That’s it Roco, just leave the rest to me”

“O-oppa Don’t be too hard on it”

“Now, go! Dedric, Deimos! Plan A-2!”

“Okay!”

Clack clack clack! Clack clack clack!

Ark surrounded the unicorn and did a combination attack with his pets The unicorn was surprised and tried to step back And itits head, and a space immediately warped behind it When the situation became worse, it tried to escape

“Don’t miss, Dedric!”

“I understand, Dark Dash!+”

Dedric flew like crazy and closed the gate In the end, with its escape blocked, the unicorn changed to battle entle entle It was a monster of fantasy after allLevel 250 It wasn’t an opponent to be trifled with In addition, the unicorn had speed that couldn’t be compared with other monsters

“Purrruk!”

The unicorn rushed forward like a bull with its horn pointed forward The speed of the rush was so quick that even Dedric as a flying monster couldn’t follow it

Kkakak!

Ark blocked it with his sword, but was pushed back a few metres thanks to the heavy force

‘I thought once I drew it out it would be easy……but isn’t it surprisingly strong?’

Ark pushed forward and corrected his posture It was level 250, so he couldn’t afford to be careless But after hunting in the Argus Mountains without any breaks, Ark was now level 151 In addition, the unicorn didn’t know that thein the sky With the 40 dark attribute bonus, he was level 211! The stats of his surown to level 90 Even if it wasn’t an easy win, there was no reason for hiain rushed forith its horn

‘If I pursue it withis feeling!’

It was a word that stayed in hisArk caught the ti his sword

Kkakakak, Teteng!

He ed to catch the tempo and blocked the hit He used Riposte to break the collision and the unicorn was pushed back a fewin battle has always been ti He had to take the opportunity whenever there was a chance! He narrowed the distance and another chain skill burst from Ark’s sword

“Dark Dance!”

The red footprints appeared in the darkness like a fil the tracks like a ghost He had raised his ability in the Argus Mountains He ht until he ran out of ent, he could ht Thanks to that, his proficiency in various skills had raised considerably Since he becae of coe was 80,his movements very complicated and it seemed like an illusion was created of his body The unicorn swung his horn in every direction as it became confused But Ark wasn’t hit by the blind attacks He avoided all the attacks and returned it using Dark Blade It was the chain skill of Dark Dance and Dark Blade! Liquid flowed from the body of the unicorn

“Hahaha, die! I really hate suys like you!”

Dedric who had a co harder than usual Tadadada……Clack clack clack! Deihed Sonored Ark’s instructions He see Clearly……the unicorn was strong However Dedric was jealous while Dei that it could endure Ark’s attack who saw it as money

After 5 minutes, the unicorn was in a critical condition

After being hit by Ark’s Dark Blade, the unicorn staggered and collapsed sideways The whole body became a deep red as there was a chance for a double critical hit Ark wasn’t the type to miss the opportunity to kill it

“Hahaha, finally!

Ark laughed as swung his sword doards

“O-oppa! No!”

Roco screa the sword so it hit the ground

“Why, ould you do that? When I was about to strike the final blow and end it?”

“You don’t have to kill the unicorn?”

“What? What is that……it’s obvious why they’re called monsters And there is a reason for me to kill the unicorn”

“You’re not supposed to kill a unicorn! I can’t just watch this beautiful animal die In addition, the unicorn believed in me”

Roco shouted as she embraced the hurt unicorn Ark was puzzled

‘damn, I was careless Wouldn’t Roco be fond of cute and beautiful things?’
