In God Wars, players realize through the tutorial mode that God Wars is a very frustrating game..
After passing through the village of beginning and the fishy forest, I think about this as I reach the Dorido mine..
“Ah, I think I've gotten used to the game now..”
Now I think it's okay to go somewhere and brag about playing a game called God Wars..
It was worth it.
By the time players graduate from Dorido Mine, they have acquired at least 5 skills, have enough items, and most of all, have experience..
More than anything, I had that confidence..
“If you make a mistake, you just jump out..”
In the worst case scenario you may face in God Wars, you will feel confident that you have learned the most reliable way to avoid game over..
“……Players who thought this will realize it here..”
Such confidence has become a fatal poison in the swamp, a hunting ground for level 50 players..
“This game is trash. Even if I want to run away, I can't..”
Because the confidence I had built up based on the fact that I could run away and that I could promise the next time if I stepped back did not work..
that was the reason.
“Fuck, really!”
“Oh, really!”
“Hey, really!”
The swamp is so vast that its extent is unknown, and the reason why sounds caused by the players' evil come from all over the place..
The swamp, which usually went past the ankles and sometimes the knees, did not allow proper movement for the players..
sha!
On the other hand, the lizardmen who used the swamp as their main stage moved through the swamp much more skillfully than the players..
A stage where escape is not allowed.
“I'd rather be in the cursed forest.!”
That stage, where only muddy fighting was allowed, was much worse than the cursed forest where one could escape as many times as necessary..
king!
The reality of such a swamp was also valid for Lucky..
No, the swamp was more difficult for Lucky, whose legs were inevitably shorter than those of players and lizardmen..
Moreover, for Lucky, whose main weapon was mobility, losing that mobility was very fatal..
Kiing…….
A groaning sound came out of Lucky's mouth as he was not performing well..
Powwow!
[Killed a Lizardman.]
But the hunting speed was faster than ever before with Midas and Lucky..
“Wow, the hunting ground should be like this..”
Kiing…….
“Lucky, it's okay. This is my dining table, my dining table.”
Midas, for him the swamp was truly the best hunting ground..
As I said before, everything slowing down means that Midas has a higher chance of hitting..
“That’s slow food too.”
At the same time, it meant that the enemy could hit more targets as the approaching time was slow..
Powwow!
[Killed a Lizardman.]
In addition, Midas' damage dealing was already at a level that went beyond common sense..
“Yes, I'm crazy about this taste..”
40Ability level that makes it hard to believe it's a level.
In addition, the damage dealing from four types of skill advantages, including Long Toss, Ballista, Dragon's Eye, and Dragon's Majesty, was more than common sense..
There was no case that withstood more than three of Midas' skills..
“Fire Spear and Fireball.”
Crucially, the non-stop damage dealing based on double casting was a nightmare for the Lizardmen..
[The skill rank of the fireball skill has increased..]
[The skill rank of the ballista skill has increased..]
[Lizardman one kill! Title achieved.]
a huge nightmare.
‘It's already one kill?’
It was surprising even for Midas..
The swamp is a hunting ground for level 50 players..
Because it was not normal for Midas, who was only level 40, to get a one-kill title in such a hunting ground..
[Lizardman one kill!]
- Title Description: This is a title given to someone who kills a Lizardman in one hit..
- Title Reward: Strength +3
This was the reason why Midas smiled even though it was a title reward that was not very helpful to him..
At that time, the pendant on the necklace Midas wore around his neck moved like a snake's head and began to look to Midas' left..
Meaning there is a quest location.
‘I think this quest will be an easy win too..’
Of course, Midas did not have the slightest worry or concern about the progress of this quest..
‘Even if you ask me to catch a thousand, I will gladly catch them.!’
With that confidence, Midas moved to the quest location..
11.
“ah."
Midas let out a short sigh and quickly put his arm between two tangled trees into what looked like a door..
Then information appeared in front of Midas..
[Lizardman's Nest (Hidden)]
- Dungeon Level: Main Scene
- Dungeon entry level: Level 60 or lower.
- It is the lizardman's nest. A large number of lizardmen are coiled up in a coil, watching out for intruders. You must kill all the lizardmen inside..
- Only those with a cursed necklace can enter.
Hidden Field Dungeon that can only be completed by those who have the main scenario.
There was nothing particularly strange about this in itself..
It was actually a good thing.
At least, doesn't this mean that there is no need for any external interference in proceeding with this quest??
Midas also shouted with joy the moment he saw this for the first time..
!Current remaining Lizardmen: 1,998
However, this number below gave Midas a blank expression..
“fuck.”
In the end, Midas cursed..
“fuck! ”
‘How can you catch 2,000 by yourself?!’
2thousand birds.
It wasn't a number you couldn't catch if you just told them to catch it..
The problem was the environment.
This Hidden Field Dungeon is probably a limited space. The moment I entered the space, it was like being surrounded by a group of Lizardmen..
‘I was forced to log out midway through the catch.!’
Moreover, if you can't catch everything within 5 hours, you will be forced to log out midway..
When you reconnect afterwards, if there is a Lizardman right nearby,?
There were countless other variables, most of which were unfavorable to the player..
‘Oh, shit… … Anyone can tell it's for party play.……'
Of course, it wasn't that difficult if you played it as a party..
In a way, it was common sense..
When this game was made, the quest difficulty standard was not set to solo play..
Crucially, there was no way to receive this quest just by asking for help..
Midas is the only one currently completing the main scenario quests..
Of course, I had no intention of giving up on this quest just because of that..
“Really fuck.”
That was the reason Midas gritted his teeth so much..
That I have to somehow do it on my own..
“Lucky you.”
king!
“Let’s pick the guardian first..”
king!
Midas moved for that.
12.
Unlike naked Lizardmen, Lizard Warriors are somewhat armed..
Powwow!
The fireball that flew towards the face of the Lizard Warrior made a huge explosion sound..
The Lizard Warrior's face burned black from that single attack..
But there was no scream.
[Killed the Lizard Warrior.]
The Lizard Warrior fell to the floor without even being able to scream..
fluttering!
The swamp began to slowly swallow the fallen body of the Lizard Warrior..
Midas and Lucky appeared after the Lizard Warrior's body was barely visible..
Midas looked at the Lizard Warrior's body in that state..
The corpse of the Lizard Warrior has now become dull and has lost its original color, like a mannequin..
Item looting, a corpse with nothing to do other than that.
“Guardian Summon.”
In front of such a corpse, Midas chanted a spell unlike any other..
Then I immediately heard a notification..
[Would you like to have a Lizard Warrior as your guardian??]
“yes."
The moment the short conversation ended, the body of the Lizard Warrior buried in the swamp began to wriggle..
The original skin color of green and white began to appear on the dull, colorless skin like that of a mannequin, and the injured area quickly recovered and took shape..
Wow!
Eventually, the Lizard Warrior stood up vigorously, and there was no trace of the body..
The only thing that was different was the eyes..
flashing!
The golden eyes that could only be seen as the eyes of a dragon rather than a lizard warrior spoke volumes..
This being is not just a simple monster, but a guardian who will sacrifice his life to protect Midas..
“master.”
The Guardian who appeared like that knelt on one knee in front of Midas and bowed his head..
I didn't care at all that the bottom was a swamp..
“I will borrow the new body you gave me and offer my loyalty..”
And then, seeing the Guardian express his loyalty, Midas was moved and felt a similar emotion..
king!
At that time, Lucky sat up straight next to the Guardian and shouted at Midas, as if he couldn't lose..
Looks like they're competing over each other's loyalty.
Midas smiled at that and said,.
“Yeah, I'll be loyal……"
It was then.
"huh?"
Midas looked at the Guardian, speechless..
‘Why does this guy, who isn't even an NPC, have a question mark above his head??’
Midas, it was the moment when he faced a world that no one had ever experienced..
13.
Guardian.
An archmage who can learn the skills of all wizard classes, and skills that only the archmage class can learn..
The skill itself was also a cool skill..
Just as a dragon acts as a guardian to protect a rare, the player summons a being to protect him/her.!
“Guardian summon? Well, it’s not a bad skill.……"
However, although awareness of this guardian skill was high, it was not very popular..
Most of that recognition was created by an extraordinary player named Azmor, and other than him, none of the Grand Mage players used the guardian skill properly..
“Well, it's good to spend money……"
There is value in investing.
“Fuck that money……"
However, if you use that money to purchase or invest in other skills, you will be stronger..
It was a very clear reason.
Even if one was lucky enough to acquire the guardian skill, no player was able to utilize the skill properly..
“And why would kids with the Grand Mage class obsess over useless skills?.”
The job of Grand Mage was one that was treated as royalty within a guild or party just for having that job..
Because it was a job where players, of course, were willing to call themselves guardians who would protect them by their side..
To them, a guardian was a good thing to have, and without it it had no particular meaning..
Of course they didn't know.
![expression of loyalty]
!33If you protect your owner against monsters without moving for a minute, your loyalty increases to level 8.
!When loyalty rises to level 8, abilities are strengthened and combat abilities are improved.
!More intimate conversations are possible when loyalty level rises to level 8.
Guardians, unlike regular skills, there is a loyalty system..
No, this system itself did not exist..
‘Is it like the affinity of spiritists??’
In the case of elementalists, one of the wizard classes, after learning elemental magic, they were able to use additional damage or special skills depending on their affinity with the spirits..
In addition, even in the case of the Druid class, which is not a wizard class, there were cases where higher abilities or new skills were developed through intimacy with the tamed target..
There is loyalty to the Guardian skill, and it is no wonder that it becomes stronger through that system..
‘Instead, protect your owner from monsters for 33 minutes... … Without even moving……'
Nevertheless, the reason why no one has discovered this fact until now is simple..
‘First of all, this is a condition that Azmo can never fulfill..’
33In fact, protecting the owner from monsters for a few minutes was a very difficult condition..
Interpreted differently, this condition means that the monster you are dealing with must survive for 33 minutes..
This was a condition that could never be achieved by a player like Azmo, who eliminated monsters in seconds rather than minutes with overwhelming firepower..
Even among those with the Grand Mage class, including Azmo, there was no case where he had to fight against a regular monster for 33 minutes..
Actually, it was a boss monster in mind..
‘It's not easy to stay in one place.’
Moreover, there was even an additional condition that it must not move..
It wasn't strange to stick to one position against a boss monster..
There were quite a few cases where ranged dealers took the risk of game over and stuck to their positions..
‘Noble nobles like the Grand Mage must go to the safe bread..’
However, as the Grand Mage was treated as a core force in boss monster raids, he was moved and deployed to a safe place depending on the risk situation..
Crucially, the Grand Mage class itself was extremely rare, and even fewer of them actively used guardian skills..
Of course, if they knew this existed, everyone would do it..
However, the only player who knows this right now is God Wars, a world with countless players..
‘okay.’
When Midas' thoughts reached that point, he no longer thought about it any further..
“Gold, this is the first battle..”
Midas called the Guardian, and the Guardian came up to him and asked:.
“Master, is that my name??”
“Yes, it is Geumgang Buddha in the sense that it is very strong as a guardian. Abbreviated as gold bar, gold in English. How are you??”
A truly absurd level of naming..
The Guardian responded to the naming..
“I am just thrilled by this sublimely wonderful name. I will repay the master's kindness with my whole body..”
It was already a gold that showed unwavering loyalty..
