Chapter 196 - First Encounter (3) (2/2)

The woman was Julia, the one who he met when he was at Mud Swamp and also the pirate's dungeon. Julia also recognized Auron, ”You! What are you doing here?”

However, before Auron could answer, one of the women behind Julia asked the town's head, ”What happened here?”

The town's head had a sad expression and started to explain what had happened. From the town's head story, Auron also knew that these three women had something to do with the teleportation portal's upgrade.

In the end, the town's head said, ”Can you help us to prevent the monster until all the people safely evacuated?”

After the town's head said that, all the players in the town received a forced quest, including Auron and Julia. The quest was to hold the demonic monster with the guards for 3 hours. Each of the players received a participation token indicating they participate in the quest.

Whether they successfully hold the demonic monster for 3 hours or the demonic monster killed all the townsfolk, they could exchange the token with a reward. Of course, the system would reduce the compensation if they failed their quest.

Also, there were more conditions. They would lose their token if they leave the town and could not get back to the town within 10 minutes. They would also lose their token if they logged out for more than 10 minutes during the quest.

If the players were died and resurrected in another town, they would have to get back to the town in 10 minutes. However, it would be difficult since there was no teleportation portal, so they would need to go back to the town on foot.

There were around 1500 players in the town. All of them received the quest, and they were happy. A quest means more rewards. Moreover, this was the first event or quest related to the new update, the demonic monster. It would be a unique experience for them.

Many of them went to the resurrection point in the town, so they could resurrect in the town and not lose their participation right to claim the rewards. However, none of them knew how dangerous the demonic monster except Auron, who had already seen the monster with his own eyes.

From what Auron saw, it needed a level 500 player with high geared equipment to contend with the monster one by one if the player had a high fighting skill. However, it was just a guess from a brief encounter. The error rate in his deduction was high.

Meanwhile, the two women who were with Julia happily accepted the quest and said to the town's head, ”Okay, we will help you to hold the monster. Quickly leave the place!”

Then, the two women left Julia and went to the town's gate. Meanwhile, the town's head also left Julia and Auron alone to help evacuate the townsfolk. Julia, who was left alone with Auron, asked once again, ”What are you doing here?”
