31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 194)
Adventure 25-1. 'The owner and the rat’
I fell into a trap!
The maze was a trap that could not be escaped from the beginning, and behind it were giant grave rats. Tomb Rats build their territories in ruins and old tombs, draining the magic of valuable items..
Now, fat grave rats are pouring out of the territory with no end in sight. Perhaps I have found my long-awaited prey..
What was the owner of this place thinking when he released so many grave rats? Or did even the owner not know they would grow this much??
Resist, if you don't want your last memory to be of watching your raw flesh being torn apart and destined for the mouths of rats..
Objective: Defeat or escape the grave rats..
Current remaining time: approximately 2 days」
‘…There's no end to it..’
People feel fear even from beings much smaller than themselves..
Even to the insects that spread their wings and fly or the rats that swarm in the sewers..
Because there is an instinctive reluctance to.
Even the smallest things in the world have weapons big enough to threaten their lives..
And as the rat grew so large, my disgust grew even greater..
Take a picture… Squeak…
That unpleasant squeak that was constantly heard was a bonus..
Snowfall later read information about a rat that looked much bigger than the other rats..
[Giant Grave Rat]
Rank: Hero
estimated level : 29~35
Grave rats burrow into the ground and target graves or ruins. This is why they are also called grave robber rats. They show this behavior because they can easily obtain the magic contained in valuable items..
And, this individual clearly shows how a tomb rat grows as it continues to absorb magical power..
Basic abilities: [All-out attack on the rat swarm!], [Smugness 2], [Swallow treasure 3], [Transfer disease 5], [gnaw] 5]
Special Ability: [Passive: Terrible Stench 3]
Take a picture… Squeak…
- I'll stop watching for a moment.
- Ugh… I'm throwing up. I was the one who endured swarms of spiders.
- It's really scary in another way.….
profit!
[A giant grave rat uses an all-out rat swarm attack!.]
[The range of the terrible stench of all grave rats within a certain radius is slightly increased, and if they succeed in gnawing, they have a 100% chance of transmitting disease..]
Squeak!
A flock of rats rushed towards the snowfall..
It seemed like large boulders were rolling in. I felt the ground shaking.
Ur showed his disapproval..
- hmm… The ground is unstable. I need to avoid big fights as much as possible..
sreung-
Grumbling…
Karen and Coco stood on opposite sides to protect Snowfall.
The reason why Kang Seol didn't come forward or send Karuna out was because Ur and Karen's thoughts were the same..
Karen wanted to test the power she gained by reaching the Overmind, and Ur also saw a need for such a process..
Of course, the decision was made because Snowfall was also thinking that way..
Karen looked at Coco and said.
“Why did you come out again??”
Softly, softly…
Coco just looked blankly at Karen's question and waved her tail..
“Well, that's it..”
Grumbling…
Karen's whole body burst into flames..
The heat I felt was amazing..
“It's not bad?”
Karen must have thought that too, as she monologued while looking at her palm..
“then….”
Hwaaaaaaa-!
Her slashes were accompanied by strange sounds..
For a slash with a sword fiercely swinging, it was a truly simple sound..
A sound like flowers breaking in the spring breeze. This wasn't entirely wrong. Because her sparks flew everywhere.
Sigh! Squeak!
[Experience points are accumulated.]
[Killed a fully grown Grave Rat.]
……
[Experience points are accumulated.]
[Killed a fully grown Grave Rat.]
……
[Accumulated experience has reached the maximum.]
[Roll the dice to gain ability points.]
[The ability score die rolls a 3..]
[Gain ability points.]
[Gain ability points.]
[Gain ability points.]
“oh….”
The experience gained from killing miscellaneous monsters has finally reached its maximum. The reward was converted to 3 ability points according to the procedure..
The reward was disappointing considering that I had completed 24 adventures so far, but it was okay if you think of it as a bonus..
‘My adventures didn't often focus on subjugating monsters..’
Compared to other transferencers who only hunt down monsters all year round, Snowfall focused on hunting one powerful monster rather than a large number of ordinary monsters. In the case of such monsters, compensation was set separately..
Grumbling…
purr…
This time the fire broke out not on Karen's side but on Coco's side..
Karen's fire was very impressive, but Coco's fire was literally hellfire..
Cheeeeeee profit!
Grumbling…
Where Coco passed by, flames soared as if a forest fire had broken out..
The lines that Coco passed through the air remained in the form of flames. The sight was beautiful and scary at the same time..
The lines are clearly visible, but it was difficult to clearly see Coco moving..
I turned my eyes again and looked at Karen..
[Karen uses fire star.]
[It generates heat while rotating and also absorbs heat within a certain radius..]
[The range of all fire attacks increases by 150%..]
[While spinning, the range of fire attacks increases by 300%.]
[All damage taken while spinning is reduced by 50%.]
[Deals 500% damage split per spin..]
[It's perfect posture.]
[Rotation speed is 50% faster.]
[65rotates once.]
Kiriririririririk-!
This sound was the sound of a swarm of rats being torn apart by a blade..
The rats in the line had to face the blade before it even caught fire, and they should be thankful for that..
Quaaaaaaa-!
A bright red pillar of fire rose and swept away the rats like a typhoon..
Most of the rats were caught in the tornado with all their flesh burned off and their white bones intact..
- …Was Karen like this??
- Karuna was honestly surprised too.…
- Maybe we neglected it because we got used to it.?
- At that level, I would be a bit scared to go around with him haha.
- It’s okay, this is Jamard haha.
- Ah haha then they are a good pair..
Grumbling…
Coco had a fire in her mouth..
Pooh woo!
The flames flew in Karen's direction and hit her sword. No, it would be more appropriate to say that Karen threw it away..
Puhuaak!
A fireball of purgatory fire collided with her sword and flew from side to side..
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
profit!
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-!
Squeak!
Every time a fireball exploded, a sound rang out from all directions..
She marveled at the incredible power of the flames of Purgatory..
“You're doing something?”
panting…
Where have all the rats gone? Most of the stink and flesh have disappeared..
Coco rushed to Karen..
“Tsk….”
Karen hesitated for a moment in surprise as the fireball jumped into her chest, but then she realized the change that had occurred and smiled..
“Look at this?”
Coco turned into a flame itself and was wrapped around Karen..
Snowfall's eyes widened as Coco was absorbed by Karen's flame..
‘Was Ur aiming for this??’
The ability of surprise appearance eats up a huge amount of ability points and has been unheard of until now. Snowfall has finally realized its true nature through Karen..
“This….”
- Yes, spirit creatures are power itself. It permeates all orders and rules..
Grumbling…
Karen's flame has become Coco's color..
It was a black color, slightly different from the flames of purgatory, much darker..
“Ugh….”
she was in pain.
That's because even though Kangseol was far away from her, she could feel the immense heat, so the fire she had to endure on her own would be even hotter..
she closed her eyes.
Take a picture…
Squeak…
The largest tomb rat slowly retreated and became angry as he was surrounded by other rats coming towards him..
Squeak! Squeak!
However, despite their progress, the rats kept taking a step back. There was no way I could approach Karen who radiated that kind of heat..
And then Karen opened her eyes..
[enlightenment! Karen discovers new abilities.]
[Karen continues: awakens fear.]
When Karen opened her eyes, pitch black flames were engulfing her body..
she said, spitting flames out of her mouth.
“Is this so fucking hot? Dog, get ready.”
Whoa whoa…
As the red knight swung her sword once, the black flames on her body moved to the sword..
The sword that soared above my head burst into pitch black flames and raced forward..
[enlightenment! Karen discovers new abilities.]
[enlightenment! Coco discovers new abilities.]
[Karen awakens the power of dark heat..]
[Coco awakens the power of dark heat..]
[Continuous: Can only appear in companion status..]
A cannonball that looked like a running wolf flew and hit a giant grave rat..
Quaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
A black explosion occurred.
It was a death with no screams or flesh left, and all that was left was the heat..
[Defeated a giant grave rat.]
[Additional rewards are given.]
- ……Is this true??
- Rat: Ratsssssssssssssssssss.!
- yes? Every time I take it out, it gets stronger.?
- I don't know… I guess it's just like that…
- Calm down, don't cry, and talk..
After finishing cleanly, Karen shook off the flames and hugged Coco..
“you are awesome?”
panting…
Coco was hugged by Karen for a moment and then immediately returned to the shadow of snowfall..
“oh….”
Karen stared blankly with a shocked look on her face..
- Coco: Up to this point, it was business..
- bad boy coco…
Snowfall was very satisfied with the potential of the surprise appearance..
‘…I thought you were creating a season.’
The power of the special ability called dark bullet was amazing..
It wasn't that difficult to use. I thought it might be used often when it is difficult to use the season..
Ur said with a quick look at Kang Seol’s eyes..
- I'm satisfied. It seems like your knight gets along well with the wolf..
“…….”
Snowfall looked at the shadow space where Ur was with a confused expression..
- This guy who just joined the company... It's more elite than you think.
- It would be difficult to take the conductor's line.…
- A difficult situation because the new employee is competent.…
- Yes! This guy… It's annoying!
Anyway, since the situation was over, Snowfall took a deep breath..
“Get out of here first….”
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
Ur sighed..
-Phew… Avoid it, it will collapse..
“…I think I had an experience like this.”
-Coincidentally. Me too.
Kwaaang-!
bang!
The cliff began to collapse.
* * *
- Let's not just go to the basement anymore.…
- No matter what I do, it falls apart haha.
Snowfall looked at Karen..
she protested urgently.
“It's not because of me.”
Jamad asked..
- Umm… Then who is it because of??
“Of course Coco! Coco, right?”
panting…
“Look, they're facing each other.?”
Ur said.
- Coco refused to answer.
“how do you know that!”
- I understand most of the language. Whether it's high school or not. A simple intention is enough to understand.
“Coco, it's true?”
panting…
- This dog is thankful that he is relieved of his injustice..
“…You didn't talk that long.”
- …My opinion was slightly reflected just now..
“It's just your opinion?”
Snowfall ignored their argument and searched the surroundings..
And, that action paid off right away..
“found.”
“what?”
“exit.”
“You can go out now?”
“No, to be exact, the exit to the storage room..”
“hmm?”
“I thought there was no way these slow-moving rats could have opened the storage room door, so I looked for it, but as expected, there was a rat hole..”
Snowfall's party moved along a continuous rat hole..
Snowfall was the first to look out of the mouse hole and monologue..
“hmm… It's difficult. Is that thing working?.”
“why? For what reason….”
Karen stopped talking and looked in fascination at the sight outside the mouse hole..
thud… thud…
Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
A huge golem was walking slowly around the central pillar. I saw a large door on one wall..
“Can't you just go out through that door??”
Kang Seol shook his head..
“You either have to get the golem's permission, or you have to stop the golem for a moment..”
“okay? difficult?”
He answered as if it were obvious..
“Ugh, it's difficult..”
The biggest reason Golan was able to protect the treasure for a long time.
[The hidden adventure ‘The Giant Outside the Mouse Hole’ begins.]
