Chapter 105

Chapter 21 Grave Robber (5)

After Yang Tae-ho joined, I resumed the task of clearing the ground before entering the recommended mission.

Of course, as much as I had a companion, I also exchanged conversations in my spare time.

Knowing his strength can minimize any mishaps that may occur during battle.

“Isn’t the elemental mana a thousand?”

“Uh, Graze… … Just look at the enemy.”

“Is there anything else I need to know?”

Most of the topics were to adjust the hunting pace.

But in the process, I was able to find out a surprising fact.

“The limit of chaos is 70?”

“As expected, I am surprised. be true Hello?”

Yang Tae-ho popped up a status window as if trying to prove his point.

The Chaos level shown there is a whopping 51%.

It was a figure I hadn’t taken since the very beginning of the game.

“I thought I had to get over 70 before I could hear hallucinations.”

Yang Tae-ho smiled vaguely, as if he was a little embarrassed or embarrassed.

I was so amazed by him that I even fainted a little.

‘The Chaos level is so high, why are you so fine?’

Indeed, as he said, if the chaos limit is in the 70s, it would be amazing.

‘Isn’t that enough to be a Buddha?’

The timing of being affected by the Chaos level was different for each person’s personality.

Those with a temperamental temperament or belligerent like me responded right away even in the low section.

‘My chaos limit is about 30.’

Around that time, he begins to hear hallucinations and suffer from violent urges.

If you do not purify there and go over 50, it becomes difficult to control yourself.

That’s why I’ve been grateful time and time again for having purifying properties.

On the other hand, Yang Tae-ho has a chaos limit of 70, not 50 or 60 degrees.

It was strange that he, a secondary player, had already reached 40,000 mana and even prepared equipment.

The reason must have been at the limit of Chaos.

Compared to other players, he uses fewer purification agents, so he has no choice but to grow quickly.

“By the way, haven’t you finished organizing Meseo?”

Around the time I was surprised by Yang Tae-ho’s Buddha-like personality.

“Where else are you going? It sounds like you came in deep… … Didn’t it just go back like this?”

Yang Tae-ho, who had been quietly following along while doing his part, expressed concern for the first time.

“There are still pollutants left to clean up.”

I said while checking the map that occupied one side of my field of view.

At that, Yang Tae-ho looked at me and gritted his lips.

After hesitating for a moment, he asked cautiously, as if he couldn’t bear it any longer.

“How do you know that? I’m not getting a mission? Have you ever been to a place before?”

The game doesn’t tell you where the polluted area needs to be cleaned up.

As I moved, I entered the contaminated area, and the mission popped up every time I did.

Or did you go directly to the mission site from Earth?

‘I can tell because I have a map.’

Usually there is no way to know where the contamination is.

That’s why I didn’t understand why I said there were more mission papers left.

I answered the question with a mixture of curiosity, doubt, and a little bit of anxiety, raising the corner of my mouth.

“I did come.”

After a while we arrived at the place where the courtesy tunnel is located.

To double-check, I clicked on the golden star on the map, and a small window popped up.

MISSION – Featured

[Purification of contaminated land ★★ (04-2776)]

Destroy all enemies within range and destroy Meseo.

• Meseo (0/6)

[compensation]

Choose from the rewards below.

• Magic 80, Fame 4

• Property magic 40, reputation 8

※ Additional reward: loot worth KRW 2.7 billion

Among the recommended missions that the system promised me, it was a mission with a large amount.

Thanks to Belego’s safe, I’ve secured some of my own money.

‘There’s nothing wrong with having a lot.’

I closed the mission window and looked inside the cave.

The end of the tunnel, which continued downward with a gentle slope, could not be seen.

‘Messeora in the basement… … .’

Meseo means the state in which the scepter settles on an object and materializes.

As a result, Meseo is created only when there is something for the hall to settle down on.

‘Well, the hall might have settled in stone.’

This is the first time this has happened, but it’s not impossible.

I decided not to attach much importance to Meseo’s location.

Instead, I thought about the process of getting there.

As long as Meseo was created, monsters will inevitably flock to it.

There will be a road in the process, so it won’t be difficult to approach.

‘If there is any blockage, I just have to come back.’

Even the newly joined Yang Tae-ho can handle the earth attribute, so there will be no point in being buried in vain.

“Let’s go in.”

“Hey, are you going to go here?”

I took out the backpack that I always carry in my storage box after gathering wood that could be used as a torch.

From there, he took oil and cloth, made a plausible torch, and lit it.

After that, without delay, he crumpled his body into the tunnel.

I hesitated for a moment, but Tae-ho soon followed me and entered.

“Hmm, look at the narrow one. Are you really going to match?”

“Perhaps.”

The size of the tunnel was small, so it was not easy to straighten the waist right away.

In the end, I changed the dagger from the equipment window.

With a hastily made torch in one hand and a dagger in the other, a small welcome greeting began.

A strange-looking creature came out of the countless holes in the wall.

I already knew his approach through the map.

I pierced the dagger as soon as the monster came out of the hole.

“Queek!”

Magical power is at least in the late teens.

In terms of combat power, they were weak enough to compete for rank among the hundreds of field mobs.

‘This is enough for an ordinary adult man and woman to hold a knife and catch it.’

For a while, I left the corpse and rummaged around.

The size of the one who died after being pierced by the dagger was around 1 meter.

Right next to the inverted triangular head reminiscent of a snake, a foot sticks out, and it looks like a mole.

The most notable peculiarity is the lack of eyes.

Instead, the ears were pointy on the top of the head. just like a bat

It was a monster I had never seen before, but it looked familiar.

“I’m looking for this.”

“Volpo? what is that… … Should these also have names?”

“There are more guys without them.”

There is a book similar to the bag of monsters made in Bihar, in which only the monsters listed have clear names.

In terms of ratio, the registered monsters accounted for 30%, and those who did not qualify for 70%.

‘Actually, that’s enough to stop making.’

At first, I was dumbfounded because I wondered why I had stopped working, but after knowing the background, I understood.

The monster encyclopedia was not completed because there were too few wizards who could exclusively research the monster’s body.

About 9 years ago, nearly half of the mages belonging to the Mage Tower betrayed the subhuman race.

I heard that the damage was huge at the time.

It was because the wizards passed all the information on the allied forces’ bases, the supply route, and other confidential information to the enemy’s leadership.

A high-level monster I haven’t met yet.

‘General level, marshal level, and corps commander level.’

They are intelligent enough to negotiate during war.

Some of them are even capable of direct communication with sub-species.

A typical example would be a 9-star or 10-star evolutionary species with a level of intelligence similar to that of humans.

As a result, it was not a coincidence that they destroyed the Allies’ main military base, but a strategic move.

‘They said it was around that time that they started losing the war in earnest.’

Perhaps because of the shock at that time, even the wizards who chose to remain instead of betrayal are being treated as dangerous elements.

This was the reason why magicians, including Ahel, wore restraints and were thoroughly managed.

Because of this background, further research or investigation of the monster could not be conducted.

Thanks to that, the monster encyclopedia has barely evolved from the version nine years ago.

I’ve heard that there are also contents compiled by people who experienced monsters directly at the battle site.

It was not widely shared because it was not officially recognized knowledge through systematic experiments.

It is only used as a basis for determining action guidelines in the area where the monster appears.

Given the circumstances, it was difficult to even call the Encyclopedia of Monsters a dictionary.

But it’s worth reading at least once.

Because you can get the basic information of the monster that has been investigated.

I recalled the characteristics of Volpo.

‘There is no sight, and the sense of smell is very dull.’

Instead, it was written that hearing was abnormally developed.

In addition to that, the characteristics of the place I am now and the cards I can use.

Calmly examining each one, I came up with a way to quickly deal with over 2,000 monsters.

* * *

Bang Bang Bang-!

Every time Yang Tae-ho struck his shield, there was a loud sound.

The noise resonated like an echo in the cavity with a diameter of 5 or 6 meters where Tae-ho and I were standing.

Could there be a more perfect way to attract Volpo who is said to have a keen sense of hearing?

“At the award ceremony, this is the wrong thing… … .”

The effect was so certain that Yang Tae-ho looked up in awe.

Where he was looking, balls were crawling out and climbing down the ceiling.

It wasn’t just the ceiling.

The walls of the pupils we stand on, even the floor.

Volpo crawled out of a hole that could only be found by turning one’s eyes.

It felt like I had hunted 6 or 7 hundred in the last 20 minutes.

It wasn’t that fast, but I couldn’t help it.

Because I had to hunt only with the wind attribute.

‘Certainly, the wind isn’t enough to use as a wide-area weapon.’

Unlike fire, which can inflict physical damage just by materializing elements, wind required secondary processing to sharpen its shape.

In my mind, I want to implement the easiest fire type magic to handle.

‘If I use flame-type magic here, I’ll be poisoned by carbon monoxide.’

However, it is not easy to use the water attribute.

Because the water attribute didn’t move the way I wanted.

It was possible to decompose the element, but handling it freely like a fire attribute was another matter.

According to Ahel’s explanation, it’s because my affinity is focused on fire.

Both attributes are suitable for me, but it means that I feel more familiar with fire among water and fire.

If I had to give an example, it would be that both colors go well with me, but there is only one color that I like.

‘Certainly, when I went camping as a kid, I preferred to sit outside by a campfire rather than go swimming.’

Since I am quite active, there are only a handful of cases where I go into the water, so my parents used to look at me with wonder.

It’s not to the extent that I hate water, but it’s true that my preference is for fire.

In the end, implementing water attribute magic during battle was being ruled out.

It is difficult to react quickly when a dangerous situation arises.

‘The earth attribute is ambiguous to use in an attack because you have to keep pushing the corpse into the ground.’

In the end, I had to cut them down one by one with the wind attribute.

‘It’s quicker to roast it over fire, but I can’t help it.’

I just have to take some time.

I proceeded to kill the Volpo who were flocking to this place step by step.

At that time, Yang Tae-ho, who was helping to bury the body, said something tired.

“Jingle jingle jingle.”

Then, he quietly asked a question.

“It’s the first time I’ve seen a scene where I’m getting tired after 20,000 years. Are you hunting like this?”

“It’s usually hard to collect this much.”

Even if you run hard, the limit is about 2 or 3 hundred.

Because there is a physical limit of being alone.

If you collect more than that, it can be difficult to organize at once.

Now, thanks to the topographical feature of being underground and the characteristics of the ballpo, it is only becoming an efficient herding.

“Hmm, can I roll my eyes now? You look like someone from another world.”

With several exclamations, Yang Tae-ho showed interest in a sight familiar to me.
