You can often see things like that.
Hey, what's so hard about that??
God Wars' desert crossing was the same..
Some of these people who heard that crossing the desert was very difficult thought, “What could be difficult?” I used to ask a question like this..
Of course, such questions disappear after even one battle in the desert, let alone crossing the desert..
It's harder than you think.
Broadly speaking, what made crossing the desert so difficult were two factors..
One was the characteristic of the desert environment..
“I see something?”
“Can you see it??”
Apart from the sandy ground that made your feet sink, the desert stage was very difficult to set a destination and move around..
“Rather, are we going the right way? They say I have to go straight?”
Even in the game God Wars, there was no night..
This means that it is almost impossible to move stubbornly in one direction using the stars as a guide..
“What about water beetles??”
“Not moving yet.”
So the item I needed was a water beetle compass..
water splash.
As its name suggests, this guy, about the size of an adult man's thumb, had the personality of moving in search of water..
The water beetle compass meant that such a water beetle was placed in a transparent case..
When the distance from the oasis got close to a certain extent, the water beetle in the case moved in that direction to determine the direction to the oasis..
“Ah, what game is this? I don't understand if I'm just playing a game or if I'm being punished in hell..”
“It's a really trash game.”
“Damn it, I can't even quit the game because it's a waste of what I've done so far.……."
Of course, these were just in-game settings, and the important thing for players was that they were essentially drifting until the oasis came within a certain range..
“I should have gotten the golden scarab even if it meant spending a lot of money..”
In fact, unlike the water beetle, there was a golden scarab that clearly indicated the location of the next oasis..
As the name suggests, the golden scarab moves in the direction of gold, and its recognition range is incomparably wider than that of the water beetle..
It's the perfect compass.
In addition, these golden scarabs could be obtained as quest rewards obtained through NPCs in each oasis..
“Hey, I have to give some money to the explorer guild, but I can just buy soup with that money..”
“What is soup? With the money you need to buy golden scarabs while crossing the desert, you could buy a soup restaurant.?”
The problem is that the explorer guild virtually monopolizes the quest..
Anyway, this was the first factor that hindered crossing the desert..
“I can't even see any monsters..”
The second element was, of course, the monsters that appeared..
Even though it was a desert with no obstacles blocking the view, it wasn't easy to find monsters in the desert..
“They're all hiding underground, so it would be strange to see them..”
Because it's hidden in the sand.
“uh? The ground over there just collapsed?”
“Damn it, everyone get ready for battle!”
Therefore, a battle in the desert was always a surprise battle, and it was inevitable that it would be a surprise attack..
“It's a rock scorpion.!”
“Three! Three birds!”
Especially on days when they encounter rock scorpions or sand snakes in the desert, even a decent party of professional players cannot guarantee their survival or death..
“Everyone be careful it's game over!”
Moreover, if you get a game over, the place to respawn was the last oasis you visited..
“If you get hit more here, you have to return.!”
This means that if the power leak is severe, you may have to return to the oasis you recently left..
This was why crossing the desert was difficult.
Of course, players found their own ways to fit that environment..
The most commonly used method was the minesweeping method..
A melee dealer with excellent mobility takes the lead and uses his body to stimulate monsters hiding like land mines and pull them out of the sand..
“Now, there's a miniaturized ringed monkey walking alone in the desert..”
That was the reason why he, in his gold, miniaturized form, walked around the desert alone..
“It's very dangerous to walk alone in a desert like this..”
Of course, that role was very dangerous..
No matter how mobile a melee dealer is, he or she can't just run on the sandy desert..
“Especially since you never know what might be in the desert sand. It's like walking through a minefield.”
Above all, it was impossible to determine with the naked eye how many monsters were around..
There were cases where, if you made a mistake, you were surrounded by a horde of monsters and were unable to escape properly, resulting in a game over..
It's no different just because it's gold.
Of course, even though Midas knew that, he did not ask Gold to do something reckless..
There was a part of me that believed.
“But there is no problem with Gold. Because I'm wearing elf boots..”
elf boots!
Gold's feet are covered with an item that leaves no footprints and allows the desert to run on flat ground..
In fact, because of that option alone, elf boots, which are only a level 100 item, were traded at a very high price..
There were only a handful of items that would be more helpful in the desert than those boots..
That's why it was in miniaturization mode..
The merit of wearing those boots is much higher..
“Ah, it looks like Gold found something..”
Anyway, thanks to the elf's boots, Gold was able to demonstrate his best mobility even in the desert, so he didn't hesitate..
Powok!
Without hesitation, I passed over the desert and pounded the sand incessantly with the knife in my hand..
Wow!
Immediately, a pillar rose up from between the piles of sand..
What appeared was a huge snake..
A giant snake with skin that looks like sand.
“A great guy has appeared!”
sand snake!
The most unpleasant monster to face in the desert, along with the rock scorpion..
“Okay, let’s stop explaining the tour guide for a moment and start hunting now..”
In particular, it was a very difficult animal to hunt, as it always had about half of its body buried in the sand, and depending on the situation, it would hide in the sand or crawl through the sand..
A guy from whom a fierce battle is inevitable..
“come in gold!”
Therefore, after sending a message of understanding to the viewers, Midas immediately called Gold to his side..
To fight on a stage they had prepared in advance.
“Yes, master!”
sha!
In front of Gold, who was running towards him with a sand snake in tow, Midas quickly adjusted his battle lines..
That's all I could do.
Fufufu!
Magic throwing attacks aimed at sand snakes burrowing into the sand and moving beneath the sand were virtually meaningless..
“As you know, long-distance attacks are meaningless against monsters moving in the sand! It's not easy to get it right, and even if you get it right, it's meaningless.!”
Even if you throw a powerful spell, it only explodes the moment it touches the sand pile, and that type of attack is difficult to inflict proper damage..
This was one of the reasons why sand snakes were difficult to deal with..
While chasing and being chased, damage dealing is very limited..
Therefore, instead of wasting magical energy on meaningless attacks, Midas prepared to be greeted by a sand snake..
“Frost Golem standing in front!”
thud!
Two frost golems were placed in front like a castle wall..
“Spirit warriors waiting!”
And on top of the bodies of the frost golems, four low-level ice spirit warriors stood waiting, each holding their own weapons..
It was not for damage dealing..
Applying the frost golem's freezing status abnormality effect and the debuff effect of the weapons in the hands of the spirit warriors..
“master!”
Eventually, the moment Gold passed the Frost Golem, sand erupted in front of the Frost Golem..
sha!
The sand snake appeared again and threw its head at a frost golem..
Kwaang!
As if a rock thrown from a catapult hit the castle wall, the frost golem's body was broken into pieces by the sand snake and fell to the ground..
Cooung!
At the same time, the Frost Golem's huge body fell backwards..
Meanwhile, another frost golem was tightly hugging the sand snake with its outstretched arms..
[Sand snake movement slows down.]
Status effect that only activates then.
Sigh!
While the sand snake slowed down, the spirit warriors riding on the frost golem's body inflicted wounds on the sand snake's body with their respective weapons..
[Sand Snake is bleeding.]
[Sand Snake becomes poisoned.]
[The Sand Snake is cursed by Fatu..]
The debuff effects of the Fatou series quickly entangled the Sand Snake's entire body..
Kwaang!
Nevertheless, the Sand Snake shook off the frost golem that was hugging it with just one struggle and immediately wrapped its entire body around the frost golem..
Damn it!
The frost golem's body, wrapped around the sand snake, let out a scream that felt like it was going to break into pieces..
Powwow!
The fireball that flew at that time immediately created a large scar on the sand snake's body..
Wow!
Wow!
Next, two gigantic beasts, Lucky the wolf and Silver the hyena in gigantic form, bit into the body of the sand snake wrapped around the Frost Golem with their sharp teeth..
Wow!
Lucky's shadow also bit the sand snake's body..
sha!
The sand snake did not respond properly to such an attack..
With the entire body already wrapped around the frost golem, it is not easy to immediately escape from being bitten by three beasts..
“for the master!”
At that time, Gold, who had made a big jump, suddenly became huge by using the gigantic skill in miniaturization mode, and hit the fragment of the frost golem in his hand, the huge chunk of ice, on the sand snake's head like a dunk..
Kwaang!
The chunk of ice shattered, and the light in the sand snake's murderous eyes faded for a moment..
Powwow!
At that moment, Midas' bombardment finally began..
Powwow!
It starts with a fireball.
Wow!
The fire spear that came out next repeatedly hit the golden target, the head of the sand snake..
“trident!”
What came after that was none other than Trident.!
The powerful ice spear stuck straight into the head of the Sand Snake, which was now coming to its senses..
[The sand snake freezes..]
Lucky and Silver started biting the sand snake, which was naturally frozen..
“You guy!”
Gold also struck the frozen body of the sand snake with his fist like a hammer..
[Familiar casts Fire Arrow.]
[Familiar casts Ice Arrow.]
Next, the two familiars continuously fired their magic arrows at the sand snake like machine guns..
[The sand snake freezes..]
And the moment the Trident struck again, the Sand Snake was once again exposed to an indiscriminate attack..
sha!
Eventually, the sand snake regained its freedom, and it quickly tried to escape, throwing away the frost golem's body with all its might..
And then I immediately buried my head in the sand..
“Where are you running away?!”
Then Midas shouted.
“Lucky, life or death decision!”
King!
Eventually, in a life-or-death decision, the sand snake, which had buried itself in the sand, raised its head again..
Gold struck his fists once more on the head of the guy who had just hit him like that..
Kwaang!
And Midas also threw away the ice spear he was holding in his hand once more..
sha!
[Defeated the Sand Snake.]
In the midst of the repeated attacks, the sand snake fell to the ground with a fatal blow..
"Sand snakes are a good source of protein..”
Midas, who saw this, finished with a short comment and looked at the chat window..
- Hey, Mr. BJ Grand Mage, is this the commentary you have been preparing for an hour??
Then Midas answered the question:.
“Yes, I had a hard time preparing commentary for the solo tour for an hour. Originally, I was planning to fill the audio with a talk show with the participants during the tour. But I never thought something like this would happen……."
At that answer, the chat window was filled with laughter..
- I never thought that needing time would mean editing comments..
I never would have guessed that the time he said he needed was because of the comment.?
something unexpected.
- There are times in this world where an hour is wasted pointlessly like this..
- BJ Grand Mage, it would be more beneficial to just keep your mouth shut.?
- Every time I type a comment, the number of viewers goes up by 10,000.?
And the message I had spent so much time preparing was also more sloppy than I imagined..
That's why the chat window filled with laughter..
- So there is no particular change in tactics.?
- Is it going to continue like this??
On the other hand, it also meant that there was no particular modification to BJ Grand Mage's hunting method..
Some viewers expressed anxiety over that fact..
- Well, I think it's possible like this, but crossing won't be easy..
- No problem. At this level, it's impossible to eat it raw..
Clearly, BJ Grand Mage's fighting ability was amazing..
There are only a handful of parties that can hunt so quickly and reliably against the Sand Snake, where an average player would have to risk the party being wiped out..
He proved that he was capable of crossing the desert alone..
- At this rate, it will take a month to cross the desert.?
- I'm going to get some rest.
However, it is not something overwhelming that was expected from BJ Grand Mage..
Midas responded to the reactions of viewers..
“No, it's okay if you get this good. If you overwhelm it more than this, the game is weird. Isn't that right??”
very valid statement.
- I can't refute this.
- Well, if it were stronger than this, it would be even more absurd..
Therefore, viewers were unable to refute Midas' remarks..
Honestly, there is no way it would be possible for him to be active any further than this.?
Of course, all of this was Midas' preparation..
‘Okay, I'm in a good mood..’
Midas wanted to do a solo tour from the beginning..
There is no way he could have had that much confidence just by looking at him now..
‘Looks a little weaker…….'
For now it was just a pause..
‘It brings out the power of a meteorite at a critical moment..’
Falling Star, so that the world can be even more amazed by its powerful abilities..
“Okay then, let's just keep going like this. Oh, you don’t like commentary? Then shall we go to song? We are accepting song requests!"
So Midas started touring again..
[Azmo donated $10,145.]
[Azmo: Just explain. please.]
1With commentary prepared over time.
5.
- A rock scorpion, a very scary monster. But now it's my item source.
Emma's eyes narrowed as she watched BJ Grand Mage's live broadcast..
BJ Grand Mage, she was surprised when he finished all the preparations in one hour and said he would start a solo tour.
‘It's just as expected.’
But then she thought.
‘1There was no visible spec up or tactical change over time..’
Even if you are a BJ master, it is impossible to make a groundbreaking change in just one hour..
‘Even if given just one day, it's impossible..’
Even if more time was given, it was impossible..
If there was something that could change the situation in just a day or two, it would have been prepared in advance from the beginning..
‘In that case, it's better to move than to procrastinate..’
If you can't do anything extra, it might be better to move rather than just waste time..
‘be wise.’
From Emma's perspective, BJ Grand Mage's choice was a very rational and reasonable outcome rather than an unconventional one..
‘But that's it in the end.’
In other words, this means that this is all that BJ Grand Mage can show at present..
- Three rock scorpions, it will take about 9 minutes to hunt. I will stop explaining for a moment..
After hearing BJ Grand Mage's comment, Emma immediately turned her head and looked at the other monitor..
Then a chat came up on the monitor..
[Hunting snakes: Hunting snakes are waiting.]
[Hunting Snake: Prepare three poisonous swords of the Desert King. ]
Desert King's Poison Sword.
It was one of the Desert King's weapons and was an item that inflicted extremely powerful poison damage..
It was a very useful weapon in the desert..
‘If it goes on for a long time, it can inflict enough damage..’
Because there was no weapon like this to reduce metallurgical power in a hit-and-run manner..
What's more, there are not one but three poisonous swords.?
This means that even if one person or two people are caught, what can be done?.
It was a weapon of conversion prepared by the Hunting Snake Guild..
Of course, if BJ Grand Mage was intact, it would have been difficult to use that weapon properly..
However, BJ Grand Mage's battle speed is within the range of common sense..
It was a situation where there was enough room to find a gap..
‘Location can be determined in real time.’
Crucially, the Abyss Guild was able to determine the location of BJ Grand Mage whenever it wanted, as well as disclose it to everyone..
‘The odds of winning against BJ Grand Mage's current strength are over 70%..’
Eventually, Emma finished the final calculation and tapped on the keyboard as if she had made a decision..
[Emma: The hunt begins.]
It was the moment when the assassins made their move..
