1.

What was the most popular job in the early days of God Wars??

When asked this question, most people will think of legendary classes such as Archmage, Archblesser, Sword Emperor, and Dark Master..

Jobs that only a few people can have.

However, surprisingly, when the God Wars service began, the most popular class among players was the elementalist, a unique class..

The reason was simple.

The elementalist does not need to directly participate in battle..

To be honest, even if the player got a legendary class, it was of no use if the player's own abilities were lacking..

Control ability as well as financial power to pay for expensive skill cards.

In comparison, the job of elementalist only required all dealing, support, and ranking to be left to the spirits..

Of course, the spirits summoned by the elementalist were not that strong..

In the case of low-level spirit warriors, their ranking ability and dealing ability were not that great..

Instead, each spirit had its own special abilities..

For example, a water spirit could turn its body into ice or hide it in a puddle or other place, depending on the situation..

The earth spirit was similar. It was possible to become as hard as a stone or to hide in a mound of dirt..

Of course, the fire spirit could turn its body into flames or hide itself in the flames..

that was the reason.

Why the world was shocked when Azmo acquired the Spirit Warrior skill.

And the reason why Midas was overflowing with confidence the moment he acquired the spirit warrior skill..

Grrrr!

‘It's awesome too.’

Above the stage tree, flames rising from all over the place created by the footprints of Mini Gold activated by Fire Step..

In the flames, the fire spirit warriors used the weapons in their hands to attack the ring monkeys without stopping..

‘There is no significant damage…….'

As I said before, the damage was insignificant..

Not only was the spirit warrior itself weak, but Midas' lower-level spirit summoning and spirit warrior skill rank was only F rank..

‘It doesn't matter.’

However, there was no particular need for damage dealing..

‘It is enough for Gold to cast a curse with Patu's dagger and for the two spirit warriors to attack with Patu's spear and bow to activate the item effect..’

Patu's Spear effect causes bleeding..

Fatu's bow effect is poisonous.

Low-level spirit warriors only had to apply the options of the two weapons to the monster..

‘If I had summoned one more and had armor breaking, it couldn't have been better than this.…….'

Here, if the armor-breaking effect had been activated using the Black Claymore, an absurd hunting would have been possible, but Midas did not necessarily want that..

There was no need to hope for it right away..

[Killed the Ringed Monkey.]

‘You don't need to use a cow knife to kill a dog..’

Even if that wasn't the case, Midas had already overwhelmed the leader ring monkey's subordinates, a group of over 150 people..

‘It's a good opportunity.’

Of course, Midas did not just play in such a situation..

krr!

At this moment, when his trusty companions were dealing with the ringed monkeys along with the newly added spirit warriors, Midas was facing the leader ringed monkey..

It wasn't just about looking at each other.

“fireball!”

[Casting is complete.]

The moment the shouting and casting ended, Midas quickly threw the fireballs in his hand towards the leader ring monkey..

Powwow!

The fireball thrown like that landed on the head of the ring-tailed monkey..

krr!

In response to the attack, the leader ringed monkey let out a scream-like sound and rushed towards Midas..

The face of the leader ringed monkey that charged in like that was full of anger..

An eerie sight that would make even a decent tank nervous..

‘come.’

In front of that scene, Midas waited rather than running away..

Huh!

Eventually, the moment the ring-tailed monkey swung its long arms towards Midas as if sweeping the ground, Midas moved to the side, dodged the attack, and threw the fireball in his hand..

Powwow!

The fireball thrown like that hit the head of the ringed monkey directly..

“Phew!”

After that, Midas let out a short breath and looked directly at the leader ringed monkey again..

it was training.

‘I can't just throw away the opportunity to gain experience fighting middle bosses..’

Training to gain experience dealing with boss ring monkeys, middle bosses that are intermediate in strength between boss monsters, and regular monsters..

‘From now on, battles with middle bosses will become a daily routine..’

Furthermore, it was also training to survive in the land of pioneers we will soon be heading to..

The number of monsters that players face in the land of pioneers is numerous, but there is always a middle boss-level monster that leads the group..

In that sense, the ring-tailed monkey was a good training partner..

Moreover, I was thankful that thanks to the current performance of Lucky, Gold, and Jackpot, an environment could be created where a one-on-one battle with the leader ringed monkey could be held..

It's foolish to just throw away this golden opportunity just because it's difficult and annoying..

That was why Midas did not step back at this moment and waited for an attack pattern..

‘After an attack, a gap appears..’

If he had retreated from there, the leader ringed monkey would have pursued Midas again..

Then there would not have been an opportunity to attack as clearly as now..

And this was also the way to deal with middle boss level monsters..

The middle boss level specs were not something that could be easily defeated or blocked..

So the only answer left is to make it attack and then wait for an opening to appear..

Of course, there is one prerequisite here..

Can you see, react, and avoid attacks that are much faster and stronger than regular monsters??

The answer to that was already shown by Midas a little while ago..

‘It's possible with my specs right now..’

can do!

Midas gained confidence from that fact and shouted with more confidence than ever..

“Come here!”

It was that moment.

Kwaang!

A heavy sound came from behind Midas..

The sound made by the Blaze Golem as it swings its arm with all its might and strikes down the ringed monkey..

kkii!

The ring-tailed monkey flew away with that sound and patted Midas on the back..

“omg!"

Naturally, Midas stumbled from the shock..

An accident that no one in the world could ever have predicted!

It was the last chance given by heaven to the ring-tailed monkey, and he did not miss it..

krr!

I rushed towards Midas with all my strength..

It was that moment.

Crrrrr i

Lucky suddenly appeared and sank his teeth into the back of the neck of the ring-tailed monkey, then turned his body as if he were spinning around a bar..

one lap!

Crrrrr i

and two wheels!

Lucky, who did two laps as if doing a trick, tightened his chin once more..

Pap-duk-duk!

Then I heard the sound of something other than flesh being crushed..

Grrrrrrrr!

With that sound, the leader ringed monkey let out a strange sound and fell to the ground..

[Killed the leader ringed monkey.]

[Ringed monkeys become weaker.]

[Killed all monsters on the stage tree..]

With the following notification, Lucky, who had stepped on the leader ringed monkey, held his position and raised his head..

Heavy rain!

He let out a howl announcing the end of the hunt..

A majestic appearance!

However, instead of cheering at that sight, Midas said with a sullen expression..

“Lucky, you have to say it right away. I cut all the blood off of that.?”

king?

When it was a reprimand rather than a compliment, Lucky looked surprised..

Meanwhile, a small Gold, who had finished hunting, approached Midas and said with his arms crossed..

“you're right. I saw with my own eyes that bad dog hindering his master's great battle..”

king!

Lucky said, shaking his head from side to side as if that was absolutely not the case..

The jackpot landed on Lucky's head and flapped its wings lightly..

Kuu!

“Take a look! They claim to have seen this bad bird too!”

And in response to Jackpot's words, he claimed Lucky's fault towards Midas, who said that Gold had been waiting for him..

Midas smiled at that sight and turned his head to look at the battlefield..

Of course, it was a joke just a moment ago..

Midas never intended to blame Lucky.

‘It's really fast.’

I'm just amazed at the amazing results of killing the remaining ringed monkeys while dealing with the leader ringed monkey..

Midas, who was looking at the arranged stage, soon turned his head towards Lucky and said:.

“Lucky, it's a joke.”

king!

“Yeah, kidding. good job.”

king!

Midas said with a smile as he watched Lucky regain his vitality from his master's praise..

"Let's do better five more times.”

2.

"You came."

Greetings from Hma, an NPC whose appearance is so ghastly and eerie that you can never get used to it..

"yes."

Midas greeted NPC Hma with a happier expression than ever..

I couldn't help but be happy.

First, you realize how much your power has increased through hunting..

‘Now, secure the necklace with this. What options are there??’

Here, the specs were about to be upgraded with a necklace..

‘180Now you only need to raise your level by 1 level.’

Additionally, he had recently reached level 179 through hunting..

‘Given the circumstances, it is highly likely that you will face a boss monster in the altar quest.…….'

It's unclear what the next quest difficulty level will be right now, but the situation is full of good news in many ways..

‘Why not give it a try? If you come out, you must be a ring monkey brother..’

I had no choice but to be full of confidence..

"I've collected it all!”

After Midas openly expressed such confidence, he immediately took out a quest item from his inventory and handed it to him..

NPC Hma, who confirmed it, nodded and said.

“Get to work right away.”

After speaking, NPC Hma lightly gestured with his chin and headed toward his hut..

A gesture to follow, and at that gesture, Midas also followed NPC Hma into the hut..

The inside was nothing special..

A cabin that most people can imagine.

[Entered Hma's Shelter.]

[Achieved the title Hma's Guest.]

Midas quickly confirmed the new title reward at the notification he heard at that time..

[Hma's guest]

- Title Description: This is a title given to those who visit Hma’s resting place as his guests..

- Title Reward: Intelligence +20

‘oh!'

While Midas was surprised by the title reward beyond his expectations, the NPC Hma lightly waved his hand and the scenery in all directions changed..

'uh?'

The ordinary cabin suddenly began to grow infinitely larger, and soon a laboratory filled with all kinds of experimental tools appeared..

‘That's amazing.’

The moment the magic is broken and the truth is revealed.

‘What is that?’

What particularly caught my eye in the scene revealed was a huge jar that could fit a person..

The jar itself wasn't surprising..

What is surprising is that the jar is held inside by a 3 meter tall giant made of fire..

“The preparations were finished early. You can get to work right away.”

With those words, NPC Hma made a gesture, and the fire giant placed the jar in his arms in front of NPC Hma..

Afterwards, NPC Hma put what Midas had brought into it, and the fire giant embraced the jar again..

Not long after that, the fire giant picked up the jar he was holding and poured it into a small cup next to him..

smart!

Then black liquid fell drop by drop and filled the cup..

A small amount that can be called tears.

NPC Hma handed the cup to Midas and said.

“Feed it to your collar. But be careful. The moment you eat this, your necklace will become very greedy.."

At that warning, Midas nodded and took off his necklace..

There was no hesitation.

Without even taking a breath, Midas dropped the liquid on his necklace pendant..

It was that moment.

whistling!

The pendant held in Midas' hand shook..

Considering Midas' enormous strength stats, his strength is truly amazing.!

‘It's on the left.’

NPC Hma approached Midas, who confirmed the direction the power was heading, and spoke..

“Now all that's left to do is find it.”

[Quest completed.]

With those words, NPC Hma took out a small book from her robe and handed it to Midas..

Master Skill Book for Legendary.

“It's not easy, I hope this helps.”

[A new quest has been created in the main scenario quest.]

Quests were also paid along with the hidden rewards..

[altar]

- Quest Rank: Main scenario

- Quest level: below level 200

- Quest content: Find the altar.

- Quest Reward: None

!Upon completing the quest, you can progress to 'The Three Ringed Monkeys'. The moment he saw it, Midas' eyes narrowed..

‘They're not brothers, they're three brothers?’

The ring monkey brothers, the boss monsters of the stage tree forest, were literally fighting two bosses at the same time..

Of course it was a very tricky combination..

But you have to deal with three more than that.?

Just imagining it makes my face harden..

‘……driving me crazy.’

Midas kept his mouth shut at the difficulty of the quest, which immediately undermined the confidence he had built up until now..

In that situation, I saw something that would boost my confidence a little bit..

‘First, let’s check the necklace specifications..’

Confirmed a new item.

[curse eating necklace]

- Grade: Legendary

- Wearable level: Level 170 or higher

- It is a necklace that contains the power of a cursed being. The power of a certain cursed being has become stronger and greedier..

- All abilities +150

- offense power +20

- +20 percent movement speed

- +20 percent attack speed

- Casting speed +20 percent

- +50 percent health and magic regeneration rate.

- Replay skill can be used when worn

- One More skill can be used when worn

- Binds upon acquisition (not tradable))

Midas' eyes widened when he saw this..

‘One More?’

One More.

A passive skill that increases the number of summons that can be summoned by summoning magic..

‘wait?’

When that skill came to mind, the first thing that came to Midas' mind was the spirit warrior..

Currently, the number of spirit warriors that Midas can summon is two.!

Of course, if the One More effect is applied, there will be three.!

‘To the spirit warrior... … Ah, golem!’

After that, the golem immediately came to mind..

‘Oh my god, three golems? I'm not even level 200?’

At that moment, Midas' expression brightened..

With three spirit warriors and three golems, you should be able to come up with a reasonable estimate even against the three ringed monkeys..

‘I'll do my best. Just buy time by tanking…….'

Midas was pleased with that fact, and a voice was heard in Midas' ears..

“I look forward to seeing how great the master, who has gained new powers, will perform.!”

gold.

The moment Midas heard that voice, his thoughts stopped..
