chapter 137
Episode 134. Demon Slash’s Siege
“Hooray! Thank you, mister.”
Eventually, the robe and wand became Melissa’s.
How happy he was that he jumped at me like a cicada, then jumped down and started dancing round and round with his staff and robe.
“You should thank Michael, not me.”
“Ah, yes. Thank you for your concession, Uncle Michael.”
“Ah, mister…”
“Then brother Michael!”
Anyway, that guy.
The greeting was casual enough to look a little rude.
“Look at this. How is it? Does Melissa look good on you?”
“Yeah what…”
Melissa is already putting on her robe and holding out her wand.
Actually, it didn’t suit me very well.
Although the appearance was changed to a woman’s costume due to automatic correction, Galutea’s robe was a design that would suit a wizard with a long white beard, rather than a girlish sensibility.
However, it is definitely better than before.
The succubus robe set was too exposed to match his age.
Compared to that, this one is a hundred times better.
‘The firepower must have increased considerably, right?’
Compared to the equipment Melissa used to wear, it is almost five levels of powerful equipment in her hands.
Even if it wasn’t so, he was an arcane mage with the highest skill multiplier, so the final damage would have increased tremendously.
I can’t wait to see that in the next battle.
“But you’re really okay, aren’t you?”
“Of course. I won’t say anything. Instead, please take good luck with the dish.”
“Sure. Well, it’s difficult. I’ve thought of a few menus, so it won’t be difficult for very long.”
“Thank you very much.”
“On the contrary, I’m grateful. It wouldn’t have been easy to give up the legendary item.”
Fortunately, he wanted to join our party for the time being, even if he got the lucky dish.
Since I had already heard the story, I was able to make this suggestion without hesitation.
Originally, until he found a curse magician to replace him, he was planning to put off making lucky dishes until the next day and dragging them along.
‘Well, he must be doing that because it’s better for him to stay with our party.’
In the first place, it would not have been easy for Michael to choose to leave the party, as he would still have to hunt several more World Bosses in order to make Elixir.
Because an opportunity like this is really rare.
‘But something strange happened…’
I stared at Michael’s face for a while.
Elixir.
It is definitely an item that appeals to the taste buds.
If I could produce more at once by simply raising my Luck, I wouldn’t have dared.
Still, something bothers me.
‘The efficacy of the Elixir is high enough to give up the legendary items that only world bosses drop for 300 million gold…’
I took a gamble on my own, but I didn’t expect it to come over so easily.
Choosing the luck dish right away, without a hint of thought.
It means that the Luck stat is deeply related to the elixir production, but…
‘It looks like he’s hiding something…’
Could it be that crafting itself is impossible in the first place if the Luck stat is not enough?
That’s why my cooking is an indispensable element in production.
If that’s the case, it’s understandable that I’m so obsessed with cooking my luck.
‘Should I ask you a question after drinking a lot?’
“This is the end of the distribution of items. Coins, jewels, and japtem must be sold to the relic dealer to find out, but I think I will get about 340 million gold in total. Taking into account the market price error, I put 20 million gold at my own expense and After the final calculation of 160 million gold, we are going to distribute 60 million gold to each of them. Does anyone have any disagreements?”
Since most of the legendary items, me and my party won the bid at a super low price, it was hard to say that this much was patronizing.
Rather, it was a great preventative measure to prevent future gossip.
“That’s enough for me.”
“I have no complaints either.
“I agree.”
“Melissa too!”
“I agree.”
“Then I’ll settle the bill right here without wasting time.”
I handed over the settlement money to Rachel and Michael, and our party’s gold remained in my inventory.
240 Million gold for four people.
It will take the trouble of selling coins and jewels, but anyway, the 1.5 Billion gold to pay off the debt is replenished.
How many Legendary Items have been rolled, but being able to pay off all the debts, this raid really brought great benefits to our party in many ways.
‘In particular, I should thank the demon slash crew?’
Huge sums came and went in an instant.
Unlike our rather calm party, the guys in the third party, including the hairy brother, looked very shocked.
It seems that it was particularly shocking to the children who hadn’t even been to the Nightmare Dungeon yet.
“Hey, did you just hear that? 60 Million gold per person.”
“I’m more envious of Legendary gear than money… Melissa would be nice.”
“When do we ever wear something like that?”
‘It’s much more shocking to be unharmed by participating in the World Boss Raid on that level…’
Well, it’s all thanks to my cooking.
“But mister.”
Mumu, who had been quietly watching the distribution, opened his mouth.
“Yes mumu. Why?”
“Don’t you open the treasure chest? We all opened it together at Blue Wolf Hill.”
“Ah… That’s true, but I can’t force this. Do you want to open Mumu together?”
“Of course.”
“Is that so? Leave only the people you don’t want to reveal, and let’s open it together.”
Since the treasure chest given in the inventory is a personal reward, it is not subject to distribution, so it cannot be forced to disclose which item came out.
For this reason, consent is required, and fortunately, everyone agreed.
“Then, who do you want to open first?”
“Me! Me, me, me, me!”
“That, yes… From Melissa.”
As expected, our Melissa.
Never disappoint.

“Deployment is over. Brother.”
“Where is the Orc Garrison?”
“The advance party should have arrived at the entrance of the dungeon by now. They left about 20 minutes before us, so that’s right.”
Kim Chul-joong, one of Demon Slash’s top executives, appeared in the plaza in front of the Temple of Pixel.
“Hey. Are you certain? Isn’t it fun to lie?”
“It’s true. Yoo-seok oppa told me to let him know…”
“Anyway, that bastard Roh Yoo-seok is also a funny bastard? What is he doing?
“……”
Cha Soo-yeon quietly looked at her eyes.
I don’t know how things are going all of a sudden.
She had just joined her guild and was collecting meat in the orc fields. From her point of view, there was no way to understand this situation.
“Who’s going to mess with that slime master with three novices? Are you sure he’s crazy?”
Kim Chul-joong kept repeating the same thing.
He looked very angry.
“This is why the chef just sticks to the slime side.
“Before that, shouldn’t we worry about our lives first? There’s no way that novices can help, and the priest isn’t even a normal boss. If he goes berserk, he’ll bleed a lot, but it’s good if he doesn’t do anything reckless. “
“Haa… Really troublesome things one after another… Did you make arrangements?”
“Yes. I have at least two of them on standby in every aisle. They are also on standby in front of the portal, so if they pop out, I’ll be in touch.”
Numerous members of the Demon Slash Guild are waiting at every passage leading out of the temple.
The reason is simple.
It may have already died, but if Roh Yoo-seok and his party are still alive, there is a high probability that they will be captured by the slime side.
Regardless of whether he made a mistake or not, first of all, Roh Yoo-seok is a guild member, even an executive.
Just like watching a fire across the river, we can’t leave it like this.
Angelic slimes will not come out through the dungeon entrance, and will use the city return spell, so they are camped out in front of the temple and are waiting.
The advance team that was contacted first headed to the dungeon, but the Orc Garrison has several entrances and boasts a vast area, so the distance to the High Orc Altar is enormous.
If you’re still in the middle of the raid, you don’t know, but as much time has passed, there’s a much higher chance that you’ll stumble or make a mistake.
“You didn’t leave already, did you?”
“There’s no way that would happen. Cha Soo-yeon! Are you sure what I said earlier? You said there were only three parties to defeat the boss.”
“That’s right. I didn’t see it myself, but I said yes.”
“Look at this. With a party of 3, it will take some time to clear. Of course, now is the time to decide.”
Kim Chul-joong, who was listening to his subordinate, scolded Cha Soo-yeon for nothing.
“But why did you look like you chewed sh*t earlier?”
“……”
“Hyung-nim, why do you do that to a rookie? You must have done it because Roh Yoo-seok told you to.”
“Then what? You think newcomers are all right? Also, are these guys normal rookies? Aren’t they the stupid kids who kicked the chef out of the party? Why the hell did Daesan accept these guys?”
“Uh huh, older brother. No matter how angry you are, it’s kind of hard to do that in front of the person in question…”
“Hmph.”
Sharp criticism rushed in, but there was no change in Cha Soo-yeon’s expression.
Just chewing on his lower lip the whole time.
Beep-
How much time has passed.
Place people in front of the temple and wait 10 minutes?
Suddenly, a loud flute sound hit the ears of Kim Chul-joong and his party.
With the signal sound from the artifact flute, a guild-exclusive item, it was clear that the people they had been waiting for appeared through the portal.
“Damn it!”
“In the end, it seems to have crossed paths with the advance party.”
“What are you doing! Move quickly!”
At that time, most of the guild members, including Kim Chul-joong, were busy moving.
Only Cha Soo-yeon stood still and did not move.
I couldn’t even take a step.
If you follow them now, you will see them face to face again.
With none other than the man she kicked out of the party.
“Cha Soo-yeon! Can’t you come soon!?”
“I…”
“Is that really crazy. Come out quickly!”
Her guildmates eventually disappeared leaving her behind.
You can’t miss the big deal while waiting for one new recruit.
‘I…’
What should I do?
Shall we just run away like this?
Why me?
What did I do wrong?
Why should I run away?
‘I didn’t do anything wrong…’
So there is no reason to hesitate.
‘I…’
But even so, she could hardly take her first step.
