Light of Arad: The First to Walk - Chapter 103



Only Noblemtl

103

The game Dungeon & Fighter can be broadly classified into two types of game formats.

One is to literally challenge [the dungeon] and defeat the boss.

Whether you’re playing solo, in a party, or in a raid larger than a raid group, the goal is to stop or defeat the boss of the dungeon created by Neople, whether the enemy is important to the story or not.

Following the flow of the main scenario quest can be said to be part of this play style, and it can be said to be the play style of not only Dungeon & Fighter but also general RPG games.

Another thing to enjoy in the game Dungeon & Fighter is the [Arena].

A battle between users.

A clash between professions.

Above all, thanks to the unique compensation system of the arena, even users with low levels and low-grade items can compete against users with high levels and high-grade items.

In order to achieve such an arena-only balance, a separate damage coefficient system, cooldown, and skill range judgment effects are applied separately from those used in dungeon play.

In the game Dungeon & Fighter, which features a 2D side-scrolling style, the battles between users are another fun element that allows you to perform psychological warfare and combo systems to the extreme by controlling the minute movements of the X and Y axes, just like the battle action games in the arcades of the past!

As such, [Dungeon] and [Arena], the two main types, can be seen as the main contents of the game Dungeon & Fighter… … .

“How should we fight… Vivi! Did you press something? Did a system window or something pop up?”

“H, huh? No, no! Nothing-. Really! I didn’t do anything!”

It’s not just those two.

There is another content element separate from [Dungeon] and [Arena], and that is [Let’s Fight!].

Slaying monsters takes place in [dungeons].

Fights between users take place in the [Arena].

In either case, there are individual maps prepared for the content, and it is basically done based on the agreement of users who enter the area.

Then what about [Let’s Fight!]?

The first feature is that it is possible even in the safe zone, which can be called the ‘town map’ in the game Dungeon & Fighter.

It is implemented in a peaceful zone where NPCs engage in commercial activities and users pass through.

Since it is a very unique form of user-to-user confrontation in a village, it should not be established haphazardly.

Basically, the establishment of a competition is based on an agreement between users who want to compete in a [Let’s Fight!] style that is different from the [Arena].

“You still haven’t lost your sense of user, Jinseong.”

“……what?”

“If we were to fight… Do you think the current system, where the party leader who receives the request must accept the request, the system that users experience, will be applied to us?”

Normally it should have been that way.

That method should have been applied to users playing the game Dungeon & Fighter.

But would such a systematic rule really work for the people who are in the ice age?

Bibi went wild after hearing Ah-hang’s words.

Focusing on the absurdity, he argued that such a thing should not happen in Arad.

“That’s ridiculous! That can’t be happening! Right, Jinsang-nim? Oh, no matter what! Indiscriminately picking on people and trying to kill them- PK? How can that be so unreasonable! Indiscriminate PK doesn’t exist in Dungeon & Fighter, but just because we’ve been possessed, we’re doing it indiscriminately-.”

“There is. No, there was. In the past.”

It was Jinseong who cut off her rebuttal.

Because he knew.

In the current game Dungeon & Fighter, [Let’s Fight!] is a PvP in a village that takes place by mutual agreement. However… … .

“As expected, you knew that. Well, if my gaming experience is correct, you were a DnF player even when the ‘Cheon-Gye-Mon’ incident broke out.”

The past Dungeon & Fighter [Let’s Fight!] was literally indiscriminate PK.

A system where you must unconditionally accept the opponent’s challenge without any right to refuse.

Then why don’t we just win?

Wouldn’t it be better to ‘educate’ the arrogant target by counterattacking them well?

Knock, knock, knock… … ..

Ah-haeng was throwing away an empty bottle with his feet.

These were the potion bottles he had drank in an instant.

Each of them is something that can be known with just a quick glance.

This was the biggest difference between [Arena] and [Let’s Fight!].

“So you know what I mean? Here, your level, your items… everything stays ‘as is’. Your chances of winning are 0%!”

The indiscriminate [Let’s Fight!] system, which was popular in the past game Dungeon & Fighter and was equally infamous, has begun.

* * *

Whoosh whoosh… … !

Could it be because of the effect of giving fire attribute to the weapon?

A thug carrying a goblin club with a fire on its surface rushed in.

“this-.”

Jinseong also tried to stop him by immediately activating it, but all he could do was flinch for a moment.

Because Ahang, who had thought he would rush towards him and strike him, had already turned around and was moving in the other direction!

“Let’s finish the opti first!”

“Whoa, whaaa!? Lord Jinsang!”

Another feature of [Let’s Fight!] is this.

Unlike [Arena] where 1:1 battles are the norm even in team battles, [Let’s Fight!] can proceed even in situations where there is an uneven distribution of personnel.

Even in situations like 1:2, 2:3, and even 1:4, all of those characters fight on the same battlefield at the same time, so there’s no need to explain how bloody the atmosphere was back in the day when ‘indiscriminate fighting’ without the other party’s consent was allowed.

“Vivi! Don’t panic, skill! Skill first!”

Jinseong shouted straight at Vivi.

However, [Let’s Fight!] is a system that is rarely used in the current game Dungeon & Fighter.

So, there were some parts that Jinseong also overlooked.

“What skill? Because it’s on cooldown right now-.”

“……Sun Cool? Shit, then slide! Dodge!”

Nowadays, when [Let’s Fight!] starts, all skills start with a cooldown applied.

Due to the system applied to prevent a fight from becoming a mess by a barrage of skills as soon as it starts, right after [Let’s Fight!] starts, except for some basic attacks or skills with very short cooldowns, only psychological warfare using movement will be carried out for the time being.

No matter how accustomed Vivi is to combat, this is only when dealing with common monsters and enemies.

Moreover, I was barely able to adapt to a situation where I could use my skills to my heart’s content.

“Don’t come, don’t come!”

If the other person is a person.

Even if you are not an ordinary user but a Bing user.

In a way, it was natural to see Vivi running away in a panic, even with her glasses crooked.

“Where are you running away to! You have no clue!”

Ah-haeng pulled back the weapon he was holding.

Physical attack power 1034

Magic attack power 893

Independent attack power 572

Strength 97

.

.

Damage increased by 2773

Skill attack power increased by 45%

Epic grade item with level limit of 75.

Currently, the simple figures worn by Jinseong alone have an attack power that is 30% higher.

“Fortunately, I know! If you hit it with a skill, you can kill it in one hit-.”

What’s even scarier is the options.

One of the options for this item is ‘Increase skill attack power by 45%’.

It’s not just that it looks like a goblin bat, but if you actually attack the target with the skill, it can have such an overwhelming effect that the person on the receiving end will literally feel like they’ve been hit by a goblin bat!

Vivi was quickly dodging by using the sliding technique unique to the gunner class that mixed dashes and attacks, but Ah-hang’s speed was also not bad.

If he, who has been chasing Vivi, swings his weapon, the ruthless goblin club will hit Vivi hard in the back.

Boooooooooooooo──────… … .

“-Because it only gives me the scolding with normal attacks… Aaaah!?”

In addition to the heavy cracking sound, the ending of Ah-hang’s warning remarks to Vivi became strange.

“what-.”

That wasn’t all.

The distance between Vivi and himself had grown longer.

It’s not that Vivi didn’t do anything special, but she was just running as best she could.

But the distance has widened?

‘Luminous? Me? My body?’

Even if it’s a feeling like your body is floating and being sucked backwards in an instant, regardless of your will… … ?!

Ah-haeng swallowed dry saliva.

Because of Jinseong’s sudden appearance in his field of vision.

“Whew, it’s been a while since I did this so I was a bit confused about the timing, but it worked… Even though I’m possessed.”

When Ah-hang drinks various doping potions and runs towards Vivi.

There is no way that Jinseong would just sit still.

“You, you, can’t you-”

The picture was already drawn in Ah-haeng’s head.

It’s not like Jinseong suddenly appeared as if he had teleported.

Even though he can move quickly, he cannot do things like teleportation during combat, much less do something a Dark Knight can do.

If so, then it is one.

The fact that he was forcibly ‘dragged’ in front of Jinseong while chasing Vivi.

Ah-haeng’s face distorted.

Looking at Berserker, who was frowning, the corners of the Dark Knight’s mouth went up.

“You know what I mean? You can drag your feet too.”

A technique that instantly pulls the running Ahaeng towards Jinseong, and is a buggy play that can only be used in battles between users, such as [Arena] or [Let’s Fight!].

It literally takes a split second for Ah-haeng to float in the air and be pulled in front of Jin-seong.

The conversation between the two was the same.

“crazy-.”

“Ah, by the standards of the most perfect ear examination-!”

“Kwaaaaah-!”

Jinseong just cut it down.

The whirlwind energy generated by the same skill struck Ah-hang’s body as if it were going to tear it apart.

From direct hits with weapons to additional hits with skills.

Ah-haeng was clearly screaming, but Jin-seong had already noticed.

‘There’s no way you’ll die. After all, as long as the concept of HP is applied, you won’t die from a single kick. And he probably knows that too… ‘

Just as Ah-hang doesn’t recognize Jin-seong’s own armor, Jin-seong himself can’t know what armor Ah-hang is wearing.

Ultimately, in situations where defense is applied, these attacks cannot inflict 100% damage to his body.

As Jinseong had expected, Ah-hang, who had been thrown out of the air, soon began to stand up.

“Damn, even if you try to do some trick like dragging, you can’t do it forever anyway.”

He gritted his teeth as he raised his hand with even greater force.

The same was true for Jinseongdo.

Kiiiiiiiiing───────!

Jinseong nodded, leading the fiercely spinning weapon.

“Sure… it will. We can’t stop it forever. But Vivi’s coolness will soon return, right?”

“Do you think I’ll just leave it like that?! Even if you hit someone like Vivi once, she’ll run away crying-.”

“No. I can’t hit you.”

“-what……?”

“Mr. Ah-hang. If I remember correctly, you’ve hardly ever been in a duel arena, right? But do you think you can stop me, a former member of the Munjadan?”

“The text group? Yes, you? I guess you’re not famous as a duelist?”

“That’s right. It was a long time ago, I think it was season 4 or 5 of the Dark Knight series. Besides, even though he only reached the level of Master as a Dark Knight… he has experience as a swordsman. He was once a swordsman-.”

By the time Ah-Haeng’s eyes widened as he listened to Jin-Seong’s words, Jin-Seong had already rushed up to his nose.

“Huh?!”

The conversation we had just a moment ago, why were we having such a conversation that was killing time?

To set up a combo for the arena, not a hunting combo.

“-He said he had taken pictures up to the level of Sopaewang.”

At one time, the highest ranking in the arena of the entire Dungeon & Fighter server was within the top 48.

Jinseong, who came from [Small Fighting King], started to put in full-scale combos.
