‘ingredient?’
Midas immediately raised his head and looked at NPC Arvia when he was notified that there was a shortage of materials..
NPC Arvia immediately responded to that gaze..
“What you looking at?”
“No, that's it……."
As soon as he saw the eyes of the NPC Arvia, who flashed more frighteningly than the ax on his back, an image of his own head splitting in two appeared in Midas' mind as he asked the question..
At the same time, Midas was able to recall one more memory..
‘ah! yes!’
Now that you've finished one quest, it's time for a new one..
‘The next quest title was Decomposition.!’
And what is the quest title?.
‘So now, if you collect materials from the next quest, you will disassemble the item and extract the ability.!’
Midas, who had drawn such a picture in his head, now regained his composure and spoke..
“I was wondering if there was something you wanted me to do..”
“to do?”
Seeing Midas like that, NPC Arvia slightly relaxed his frown and said,.
“I have work to do. It won't be easy though.”
Uneasy!
Despite such warnings, Midas clenched his fists and said without the slightest hesitation:.
“Whatever it is, I will risk my life to complete it.!”
NPC Arvia nodded and said, looking more determined than any other main scenario quest he had done so far..
“I found a way, but I need ingredients.”
What followed.
[A new quest has been updated in the main scenario quest section.]
And in the following notification, Midas says yes! He made an expression that said.
[decomposition]
- Quest Rank: Main scenario
- Quest level: level 150 or higher
- Quest content: Let’s find materials to disassemble items..
- Quest Reward: Unknown
!Quest Reward: Skill Card Book (Legendary Epic)
!Upon completing the quest, you can proceed with ‘Fragment of the Spirit King’
And the moment he saw the content that appeared, the smile that had been spreading on Midas's lips began to harden little by little..
‘No, wait.’
What made it solid was none other than the quest reward.
‘It's called Legendary Epic?’
With the reappearance of the Legendary Epic Skill Card, a related quest naturally appeared in Midas' mind..
And then the difficulty of that quest came to mind..
‘I think I got screwed again.?’
In that eerie feeling, Midas spoke carefully..
“Is that ingredient located in a very special, corner, hidden place??”
NPC Arvia answered that question with an expression as if he was talking nonsense..
“No, it's a place you've been to once.”
At that answer, Midas breathed a sigh of relief..
‘It seems to be a forest of spirits..’
Honestly, if the stage is a forest of spirits, then the field itself shouldn't be a problem..
NPC Arvia told Midas more accurately..
“forest of fog.”
“yes?”
“You came across the Forest of Fog, right? the ingredients are there.”
There's nothing easy in this world.
9.
There are people everywhere who want to do more when they are told not to do it..
Moreover, it was very difficult to break away from the shackles of the law and the system and stay still after being told not to play in a virtual reality game where there was nothing other than a game over penalty even if you died..
In that sense, the Spirit's Cave and the Forest of Fog were very tempting stages for players..
“I go down to the Spirit's Cave using only one hand.!”
“Then I go down using only my feet.!”
The Spirit's Cave, that huge vertical cave, gave birth to absurd challengers..
“No one has passed through the Forest of Fog without doing a quest? Then, if I go, I will be the first.?”
“Yeah, I'll go first..”
And the forest of fog located on the way to the cave also gave birth to countless reckless challengers..
A stage where you can see how stupid humans are and how stupid people can make the worst choices..
Among them, the worst one was the Forest of Fog..
Until now, there has never been a single player who has crossed the Forest of Fog without a single quest..
To exaggerate further, there was no one who went deep and came back..
‘Damn it.’
The Forest of Fog that Midas was currently looking at was such a place..
the underworld!
A place worthy of being called that.
‘It's a really trash game.’
Of course, Midas had one more thing that made him different from other players..
A very crude wooden compass.
It was an item given by NPC Arvia..
‘Trusting this one thing, I can go into the forest where I hear the sound of the road to the afterlife and find ingredients.…….'
It wasn't particularly comforting..
The reason the Forest of Fog is dangerous right now is because it is a place where you can get lost, and not only because of that reason..
‘Even if the road is like that, the monsters are?’
It was because of the forest of fog, the spirit beasts and spirit knights teeming within it..
The number of visible spirit beasts in the eyes of Midas looking at the Forest of Fog was well over thirty..
In a place like that, just pick up a compass and look for materials that might be somewhere.?
It was a task that would make an average player swear..
No, it was beyond swearing and it wasn't something a party of three or four people could do..
Even in the Spirit Forest, weren't several parties holding hands and taking turns hunting??
“If it weren't for these eyes... … It must have been terrible.”
Of course, it was clearly visible to Midas..
A red path visible on the forest floor of the fog.
“Isn't that right, Lucky??”
king!
“Yeah, if it weren't for these eyes, I would have been game over about five times here..”
king!
“Master, don’t worry! I will protect my master at all costs.!
After a light conversation with Lucky and Gold, Midas turned his head again and looked at the forest of fog..
‘It's not easy.’
There was no need to worry about getting lost. The problem was, as I said before, the monsters..
Moreover, the number of idiots entering the Forest of Fog was not that large..
‘The moment we enter, spirit beasts and spirit knights will be attracted to us..’
This means that the monsters here only see Midas and attack him..
It meant that you couldn't avoid battle just because you wanted to, and that once you fought, you had no choice but to fight a large-scale battle..
‘Potion prices will drop significantly again..’
And as the intensity was so intense, it was inevitable that there would be a lot of bleeding..
“Phew."
Of course I couldn't avoid it.
All you need is the determination and preparation to fight.
"Okay, kids, I'm ready.?”
When Midas finished preparing, Gold was the first to clenched his fists and screamed..
“If you are ready to write a new legend that will leave a lasting mark in the world with your master, you are ready.!”
“yes, jackpot you?”
Kuu!
At the question that followed, the jackpot above Midas' head flapped its wings loudly and let out a cry..
There's only one thing left now.
“How about Lucky? I'm ready?”
king!
“I'll do it all by myself, so if you're not the main character, don't even come forward.?”
Midas made a joke at the answer that followed and then walked into the foggy forest..
It was that moment.
king!
He heard Lucky crying from behind him, and Midas tilted his head and turned at that fact..
panting!
Then Midas looked up and asked another question at the sight of Lucky in his place..
“Lucky, why aren't you coming??”
The answer to that question was gold..
“I will scold the bad dog. Master, just give me an order at any time.!”
“it's okay. The reason you two are competing is because it’s a hidden card to be used during live broadcasts when there’s really nothing to do..”
Midas responded briefly to Gold's words and soon approached Lucky..
‘ah!’
At that moment Midas could see.
king!
A voice floated above Lucky’s head for the first time in a while..
‘wait.’
Only then was Midas able to recall memories from long ago once again..
‘Looking at the situation, the Forest of Fog is a normal hunting ground as long as you have Arbia's compass. That means… … It's a field that has never been properly explored until now.?’
Forest of Fog is a stage that has not been properly touched even once since the birth of God Wars..
At that moment, in Midas's eyes, the forest of fog no longer looked like irritation, fear, and despair..
“……I tried it!”
It just looks like a treasure trove.
10.
When you give people a certain distance and tell them to run, they run..
However, on the other hand, if you just tell them to run without a set distance, they will get tired quickly..
That's why people who have the ability to run a marathon often get tired quickly if they are told to run without any promises..
The same goes for hunting in God Wars..
I don't know when it will end. In such a situation, no matter how good my qualifications were, I was bound to get tired quickly..
“Master, please hold on a little longer.!”
king!
In that sense, the situation of Midas, who has been fighting against the incoming spirit beasts for the past 30 minutes, could not be said to be good at all..
Usually, the problem had already occurred and it was impossible to even fight for 30 minutes..
Even if a problem didn't arise, the moment the battle ended, I was so tired that I almost collapsed on the spot..
[Defeated the Spirit Beast.]
[Your level has risen.
In fact, if it were a normal Midas, the moment he heard this notification, the notification that the immediate battle was over and a chance to catch his breath had come, he would have collapsed in his seat and complained..
“Okay, the end!”
However, the moment the battle ended, Midas shouted, “Fuck this trash game!” Instead of spitting out the same curse-like complaints, he showed himself in a happier mood than ever, and instead of sitting down, he moved..
I took a step forward without hesitation, beyond the distant fog..
Eventually, I bowed down at the place where his feet stopped..
[cold moss]
- Material Grade: Unique
- Material Effect: Very cold moss. When taken, intelligence and magical power temporarily increase..
Then Midas smiled at the sight of white moss appearing..
I couldn't help but smile.
A potion made from cold moss was a must-have item for boss raids for the wizard class..
“Ugh!"
‘300earned gold!’
Still, it was quite expensive.
‘Wow, how much are you really making today??’
What was even more surprising was that the material items obtained today in this way were enormous..
‘You won't have to worry about potions for a while.?’
It goes without saying, but I didn't feel the slightest bit of battle fatigue in the face of a reward that surpassed that sweetness..
‘Should I just spend a week here? Dry the seeds of the ingredients?’
Rather, I just desperately hope that this situation will last for a long time..
Of course it was impossible.
Because Midas told me about the red road that was visible right away..
‘……Well, it's impossible.’
Quickly complete the ongoing quest and move on..
‘If you hang out here for a week, Azmo might ask for a refund..’
There is no time to waste in a place like this before the work that needs to be done right away..
[Acquired Cold Moss.]
After finishing collecting the cold moss, Midas now straightened his back and moved along the red path..
And when he reached the end, a flower made of ice greeted Midas..
[frost flower]
- Material Grade: Legendary
- Material Effect: A flower found only in special places. Has the property of absorbing magical energy.
- No trading when harvesting
When he woke up in the morning, Midas stood in front of a flower that looked like it had been made by gathering frost on the leaves. He reached out his hand to collect the flower..
[Achieved the title of Frost Flower Gatherer..]
The notification that followed.
[The one who gathered the frost flower]
- Title Description: This is a title given to those who gather frost flowers..
- Title Reward: Stamina and Magic Power +15
And Midas looked at the frost flower in silence, leaving the visible information window behind..
‘Now it's ability extraction.’
It's time to finally activate the long-awaited item ability extraction system..
At that thought, a new concern naturally appeared in Midas' mind..
What items should be dismantled??
‘After all, it must be gloves.?’
What immediately came to mind was the Guardian's Gloves..
The option to increase projectile speed was an option that Midas would have to have for the rest of his life..
‘No, armor might be better..’
Of course, the option to increase the number of projectiles on the Guardian's armor also had great merit..
‘The camouflage skill is also very helpful at important moments..’
The camouflage skill attached to the guardian's headband was also a skill that would save Midas' life at a critical moment, like during the last assassin incident..
Considering the price of one's life, dismantling the Guardian's headband may be the right answer..
‘The wand... … I can't even die.’
Of course, Tunga's flaming staff that he was currently wearing was out of the question..
Because there was no substitute.
Actually that was the point.
‘The Guardian's Gloves are replaced with Flame Gloves, and the Guardian's Armor is... … Should I get the armor of an unknown great mage and wear it again? If so, does that mean the number of projectiles will be up to 4??’
What items can be replaced??
king!
Lucky barked lightly at Midas, who was so worried..
As if you should already drink kimchi soup and stop worrying about what to eat for dessert and finish your work right away..
“Yes, lucky. I have to finish the quest first..”
king!
In response to Lucky's words, Midas turned his head to pat Lucky and soon found him..
Midas, who checked the phrase that appeared above Lucky's head, smiled brightly and said.
“Yes, lucky. There's only you……."
With those words, Midas immediately looked around, and soon he was able to see..
“……uh?"
And soon it hardened.
I stiffened and blurted out what I had discovered without realizing it..
“frost flower?”
Midas, who checked the frost flower, a letter he would have never been able to find if he had not concentrated, immediately looked at Lucky..
panting!
Lucky is breathing lightly and wagging his tail..
Midas immediately shouted at Lucky..
“Lucky, please accept me.!”
