chapter 4
4 – Runaway Mountain Keeper NPC (4)
In any open world game, there are vehicles.
If you don’t have a vehicle, there is always a way to move quickly.
And, of course, Eight also had mounts, and there were many different types of mounts, from those sold at the cash shop to those that were just obtained for free.
Furthermore.
‘You can get a flying mount in ep.4.’
flying mount. Fly for short.
It was a mount that came out after ep.3 was updated, and was sold only for cash for a year, and after ep.4 came out, only one blade was made available after the raid in Mount Ponia.
however.
‘It’s real now. Plus, Ponia hasn’t been destroyed yet, so there’s no reason for raids and no reason for bosses.’
In other words, it is possible to eat it raw.
An event where you eat raw fish, this is a piece of cake, right? Are we geniuses?
My stupid brother couldn’t even think of it when he recalled the memories of his previous life, but my younger brother noticed this right away while eating skewers.
I really can’t help but wish for my younger brother.
I run quickly through the mountains.
The movement speed is definitely fast for an agility of 40.
Like a mountain keeper who grew up in the Village of Jolyeol Leaves, I put my arms behind my back and run while stepping on trees.
Of course I won’t give it to you.
As I quickly reached the area where the raid boss would be, a huge cave appeared.
“Hmm. This is different from a game after all.”
Is it because the boss hasn’t appeared yet? Originally, there should have been an entrance like a huge Greek building built here, but there is only a cliff-like cave that cuts down.
And just looking at it, there are no traces of anyone trying to enter.
“…I’m not even sure how far Mt. Ponia goes in the first place.”
[Mountain manager effect: All stats increase slightly in the mountains you manage.]
[Mountain under management: -Ponia-]
Judging by the fact that the stat keeps popping up, it looks like it’s probably rising. How far is Mt. Ponia? Would it be okay to put the inside of this cave into the mountains as well?
“…Well, even if there is a boss, there will be no one-com.”
[HP: 300,000+???]
Considering that the average player’s health is around 50,000 at level 1100, 300,000 is literally a figure that is possible because he is an NPC.
Health higher than max level.
Unless your head literally explodes with a single blow or your heart is ripped out, you probably won’t die. At least I want to believe so.
Trusting my crazy blood, I jump straight towards the cave.
And if you kick the wall and slowly go down, well. I can’t see anything.
If you light a torch prepared in advance and look around, it’s just an ordinary cave.
It’s rather creepy to not have a single bat, but if you get flying here, you’ll definitely be able to progress to Aigram at super-fast speed.
‘The ultimate goal is heaven. Aigram is the safest, so I’m going.’
ep.1 Aigram, the trading city where the dream of the stars begins.
The only place in the game where the main character and the player appear at the same time to save the crisis and completely avoid destruction, then become the first to learn about the world’s crisis and gather the strongest city defenses and troops.
Of course, the reason is that the bosses and monsters that appeared there are low level, but Igram is literally the holy place of all rice cakes.
As the land where the plague was first thrown in this dark fantasy, Aigram stands firm even when several countries are destroyed or its name is erased from the map.
In other words, it means that it is the safest place in all stories, next to heaven in ep.8. So, I’m heading there with my younger brother.
‘And I don’t know when the story will start. Sometimes I have to go faster.’
It is said that the destruction of Ponia was completed in just two weeks.
Of course, in the first story it was said that the reason for Ponia’s destruction was because humans summoned demons, but the truth in ep4 was different.
It’s not that demons have been summoned. Direct invasion.
in other words. If the story begins today, Ponia may be destroyed.
‘If that happens, I will live because my HP is crazy, but I will definitely die.’
After thinking that far, I quickly break through the cave.
Originally, it would have been a demonic world full of monsters, but perhaps because there was no raid boss, I was able to advance with ease.
and.
“found.”
A round and huge door. Originally, this is a door that you would have to come back to after killing the boss here.
“My flight. Get it again!”
When you place your hand on a round door, the door naturally rolls to the side and moves out of the way.
and. It’s so easy, but if the story goes the way you have to catch the boss, it’s really disgusting…
“…Ah.”
open space. A temple-like space with lots of torches appears, and in the center of it, something like a drawing doll stands in an acrobatic posture.
“Wow, thrush. Is there a boss?”
it was cooked
*
“… Now. What do you do with this?”
I opened the door, but there is no sign of the boss moving.
That golem’s name is Mime Golem.
And when that bastard comes out of here, it’s a headache.
“There. Status window.”
[……]
I see a window floating above my head with nothing floating on it, and without even realizing it, I try to talk to it.
I wish it was
“Can you tell me the specs for that?”
Even if the user who defeated the boss is a support, it is not that difficult to defeat it with personal power.
One of the more interesting features of Eight. Because there is an NPC party function.
After forming a party with an NPC who has raised the favorability rating and making that guy follow the same actions as the NPC, if you hit a ranged attack from a distance, one day you will be knocked down unconditionally.
The only problem is that it is very difficult to capture it 1:1. Because he always does the same thing as me. If I come close and hit him, he will hit me equally, and if I go far away, he will fall naturally.
An enemy that is easy to run away from, but never easy to defeat.
knock it down 1:1. Considering my HP, it’s not impossible, but if I’m unlucky, my HP and defense are higher than mine, so I could end up being beaten like a dog and run away first.
And if I look at the status window still, it doesn’t move either.
Even on the way here, the status window didn’t show the monster’s name or level. I really don’t know if this is useful or not.
Eventually, I go inside the room. You can fight it once, get hit once, and then decide.
When I enter the room, the door behind it closes naturally, and the acrobatic guy makes a rattling sound and assumes the same posture as me.
“Hmm. This is just like a game again.”
If I stay still, that thing also stays still.
When I raise my right arm to check, he raises his right arm just like me.
It feels like a mirror looking upside down. Of course, it doesn’t have enough impact to make you forget that the golem that looks like a drawing doll is the boss.
“first…”
I bend down and pick up the stone in front of me. There were no rocks under his feet, but beneath me.
So he just acts like me and doesn’t hold anything in his hand.
“Now let’s go to the first pitch!!”
-Pot!!
-Just right!
If I think of baseball in my previous life, I raise my legs and throw a stone at his head, he will take the same posture as me, but he will not do anything else.
The problem is that not only is there no other action, but there seems to be no damage.
What the hell did you make of it and it doesn’t even scratch your forehead?
Once I figured out that it was exactly the same as the game, I slowly approached him as it was.
He, like me, slowly approached me, and just like that, if we stretched out our hands, we were within reach.
“…Ugh, it’s scary. Even a plain face with nothing on it is so scary.”
It’s a visual that could come out of a public game. There was a time when I saw a public game where a drawing doll mannequin chased after me, but it was honestly scary to watch.
Once I stretch out my left hand slowly, he also slowly brings his hand to my body.
hmm. If I don’t hit him, he won’t hit him either.
then.
“Suck!!”
-f*ck!!
“Keuk!!”
The punch I threw hoping that he would react even a little late. It stuck in my stomach as it was, and I sat down as it was.
“Cool. Cool, Joe, Jonah, it hurts!!”
[HP: 300,000+???]
It hurts so much that when I look straight ahead, I see a golem and a status window holding my stomach in the same posture as mine.
no. I’m in so much pain, didn’t I lose my HP? real? what is that??? How many added stats are there? By any chance, there are three question marks in the HP section of the status window, but are those 3 digits?
“Ha. But isn’t the problem that your HP is low? I don’t think my attack worked?”
When I get up from my seat, there is no trace of my fist sticking into his abdomen. Maybe he has the same HP as me, so he won’t get hurt unless his HP goes below a certain level.
“Sigh. The status window is f*cking useless. At times like this, I have to show him his blood. No matter what strategy I come up with, you’re going to give up, right?”
The stupid status window that keeps flashing as if it wants to tell me that there is danger in front of me only displays my HP… Huh?
[Mine Golem: Level 362]
[HP: 199,992]
[MP: 150]
How are you? Status window what?
“What is it? Are you Mazo?”
At my words, the status window trembled slightly as if it had its own will.
what? Do you feel insulted?
