Episode 183.
“How is it?”
-The conversation ended well.
It was Isin’s decision to send Arthur instead.
If you think about efficiency, it would be best to go yourself, but from the beginning, you thought it would be risky to do that.
‘Risk taking?’
‘uh.’
‘You won both times.’
‘That was a special case.’
Since their identity was not revealed, they simply used that to pull off a perfect surprise attack and won.
Surprise attacks are one of Isin’s specialties, and his opponent was a priest who was particularly weak to surprise attacks.
The difference was maximized to produce this result.
‘Three consecutive attacks are the best for mentally draining your opponent, but… … it’s a bit dangerous now.’
Lee Shin appeared in front of Ian twice.
Even if the first time he died without knowing anything and said ‘Huh?’, the second time was different.
It must have been so vividly memorable that even if he had disguised himself, he might have noticed it the third time they met.
That’s why I sent Arthur, who could never be caught.
Yishin continued to ask.
“What is your identity?”
-I don’t think I have any particular doubts.
“There were no complaints?”
– I was a little dissatisfied because some of the quests were shared, but I didn’t think it was a big deal because I said I would find another guild if I didn’t like it.
“Well done.”
A lot had happened before Ian arrived.
While Isin and Gilaim traveled around various territories to figure out how to get rid of them, he also prepared Arthur’s disguise.
And in the process, Isin killed an unrelated user in order to use him as a target for disguise.
‘Gillaim. Catch me.’
‘yes.’
‘Huh? What, what is it? Huh?!?!’
Pok! Pok! Pok!
[Killed the opponent.]
[Notoriety rises.]
The opponent was upset and jumped at the sudden bolt from the blue… .
Isin didn’t even blink an eye.
Because it was something I used to do often.
No, it wasn’t just a casual level, but he naturally turned this resentment towards Shining Star.
‘… No, what are you asking all of a sudden! What did I do that you’re asking this!!!’
‘We are members of the Shining Star guild.’
‘What? What the hell are you talking about…?’
‘Shut up, we’re busy. If you want to argue, come to the guild later. The guild house is here. And it’s weak to fire. If you come, keep that in mind.’
‘… …!?’
It was a bit blatant, but… … .
Anyway, Arthur’s disguise was completed.
Ian couldn’t even guess Arthur’s identity because he was just randomly killing users who had absolutely nothing to do with the matter.
-You weren’t really curious about who I was in the first place?
“Hmm, really?”
-Yes. I didn’t even ask.
Arthur’s words were mixed with relief.
But Lee Shin’s thoughts were a little different.
Arthur is a user who made contact with the royal family faster than they are. Even now, he is ahead of the large guilds that are pouring time and manpower into trying to somehow draw a line.
Of course, in reality, Arthur is also in a position to follow Isin’s orders… .
There is no way to know that from Shining Star, so it is natural to assume that Arthur received this quest.
But aren’t you curious about the identity of that user?
‘No way.’
The greed of the large guilds is beyond imagination.
They would do anything to rise above others, and Ishin, who had once been on the same team as them, knew that very well.
So it’s not that I didn’t ask because I wasn’t curious, but I thought they wouldn’t tell me anyway so I didn’t ask.
Of course it was a hard-earned quest, but you’re just telling people who are seeing the method for the first time?
Because it’s something that can’t happen according to the common sense of rankers.
In other words, it was not even expected.
“If the guild situation had been okay, we might have used force.”
-ah…….
But since the guild situation is very serious, I guess they have no choice but to hide their true feelings for now.
If you cause problems from the beginning and the quest fails, it will be a headache.
-Then should I be careful from now on? Just in case?
“no?”
-Yes? Why? Because you said it was dangerous.
“It’s pointless for you to be careful. If you kill me, I’ll kill you. How can you stop me? The opponent is a high ranker.”
-ah…….
“If you want to kill me, just die. I’ll pay you back later anyway.”
Of course, I will pay you back even if you don’t kill me.
That’s why I chose Ian from the beginning.
Jung Yu-ra, who had been listening quietly from the side, muttered in disbelief.
“… … Then you’re not going to pay me back?!”
No, you can only say that you repaid it if you have been hurt, right?
If you kill someone for no reason, it’s no different from indiscriminate PKing…
“Okay, just keep being conscious. When someone asks you something, don’t give useless answers and just give short answers. Just like you are doing now.”
-Oh, yes.
* * *
Arthur led Ian’s group and moved according to Isin’s instructions.
“Let’s light a fire here.”
“fire?”
“Yes. The village is crowded into the forest. If we set fire to three sides, we can control their movements. Divide the group into three groups… … .”
“!”
A plan that fits perfectly!
It was as if he had done this kind of thing often.
Who on earth could it be? I was getting more and more curious… .
Ian answered, holding back his anger.
“……I get it.”
[You set fire to the monster habitat near your territory.]
Ian set the fire as instructed and escaped along the path given to him in advance.
After some time had passed, the screams of monsters could be heard from far away.
-What? This smell is….
-… … Fire, fire!
-!!!!
The fire was discovered too late.
Ian looked closely and saw that the monsters were running around in confusion due to the flames that were coming from all directions.
However, since we didn’t intentionally get them involved directly, no monsters died or were injured.
The goal is to cause a wave of monsters in the territory, but if you get caught in the fire directly, you will be defeated.
[The fire spreads rapidly.]
[The monsters’ habitats are destroyed.]
[Monsters that have lost their habitat are going berserk!]
‘Is it okay?!’
Okay.
Monsters that lost their homes in an instant and went berserk are soon looking for someone to vent their anger on.
Naturally, the target was the nearest territory.
Tiring.
[A monster wave occurs!]
[Artificially created a monster wave.]
[A great evil deed. You will obtain the title, .]
[You have committed an act that could cause serious damage to the territory.]
[Notoriety increases dramatically!]
[The more casualties there are in the territory, the more notoriety will rise.]
“… … .”
Ian’s face hardened slightly.
Notoriety is rising rapidly!
And that wasn’t the end of it.
[It has a very high notoriety.]
[The god of the church is watching you.]
Dismissed!
“!”
Static electricity surged across the back of Ian’s hand, which was engraved with the , the evidence of a saint.
It was a direct warning from the Lord to the rapidly rising notoriety.
Perhaps if it had become more notorious here, it might not have ended with a warning.
You may receive a penalty to your stats or skills, or the effects of some titles may be locked.
Of course, this is a problem that can be solved by making it notorious again… … .
‘Will it be recovered…?’
Ian thought, his expression suddenly becoming more depressed during this short time.
Maybe it’s because I’ve never been this notorious before.
I was prepared, but seeing the notoriety rise to tens of thousands for the first time made it hard to calm down.
It felt like something was going terribly wrong, like my heart was being squeezed tight.
It was a little scary.
‘… I have to get off right away as soon as the quest is over.’
It seemed like it would probably be possible to get it all off with a little bit of a donation.
Since the profession is a saint, the upper limit of the infamy stat that can be lowered through donations is set quite high.
Instead, the gold will be broken in huge amounts… .
‘Roughly… … No, no.’
Ian stopped doing the math.
Even a rough estimate would have been an astronomical sum, so I just stopped thinking about it.
I also thought that if I could successfully complete the quest, it would be worth more than the gold I spent on donations.
‘As long as you succeed, that’s enough. As long as you succeed… … .’
Pay it forward!
Ian repeats the same words to himself as if he is hypnotizing himself.
Fortunately for him, the quest went smoothly.
* * *
-Huh? A monster?
-Whoa! It’s a monster wave!
-No, why all of a sudden…!?
-Is now the time to be discussing such things? Call the soldiers quickly!
A land in chaos.
Screams came from all directions.
Arthur nodded with satisfaction and said.
“Let’s go next.”
“… … That, that’s right.”
Arthur, who successfully caused the first wave of monsters, went around to several territories one after another and caused waves of monsters.
“This is the next one.”
“Can I do it the same way?”
“No? Well, there’s a water shortage here, so we just need to cut off the water supply.”
“how?”
“that…….”
[A large amount of poison was released into the river.]
[Monsters that lost their water go berserk!]
[A monster wave arises!]
“Okay. Let’s go next.”
“… … .”
“The next territory is a barren place… … .”
Arthur, who causes monster waves in all kinds of ways!
Even each and every one of these methods was novel and effective at the same time.
Even Ian, who had been through various quests as a high ranker, was amazed at Arthur’s ability to deal with things.
‘… … What kind of terrorist acts have you been committing?!’
At the same time, I felt a little chills… .
Anyway, it helped now.
Because we were on the same side.
[Caused a monster wave!]
[Caused a monster wave!]
[Caused a monster wave!]
[Monster Wave…]
[… … ]
[… … caused a catastrophe!]
[Notoriety increases in large quantities.]
Monster waves occur throughout the kingdom.
For the nobles of the territory, it was like fire under their feet.
Of course, I put aside other things and moved to stop the monster wave… .
“Hey, stop it!”
“… … Wrong! The forces of the territory alone are not enough!”
“What?!”
You can roughly tell when a monster wave will occur.
Because it usually happens after the monster population increases.
But if it was caused artificially like now, it would be a different story.
“I’m sorry. I was completely unprepared… I have to ask for help first!”
“Help? Where? Is there a territory nearby that can help us?”
“None. Most people are in similar situations…!”
This happened simultaneously in several territories.
There was a definite place where they would ultimately turn for help.
“…shit!”
Right, the royal family.
Because the surrounding territories were all in ruins, it was impossible to ask for help.
[The nobles ask the royal family for help.]
And with that, the quest ended.
Instead of using this opportunity to help them, Phillips put them in chains one by one.
It was a very radical method, though….
In any case, it can be said that the confusion caused by Isin’s noble hunting has died down.
A message appeared before Isin’s eyes.
[ has been completed.]
[Now go to Philips Leonis and complete the quest.]
‘It was over so quickly.’
Yishin nodded with satisfaction.
Could this really be called a shining star?
Although they have lost some face recently, the high specs of each member remain intact.
Thanks to this, a quest that was originally supposed to be difficult was completed in an instant.
‘then…….’
Isin whispered to Arthur.
The quest was over, but Isin still had one more thing to do.
“Lure her and bring her to me.”
Lee Shin turned on the map.
There was a place marked red on the map.
It was a place that Isin had prepared in advance to give Ian his third death.
