00038 Party Play
“This game doesn't have a nickname by blinking on its avatar. We don't know if they're players or NPCs, or if they have a fucking nickname or if they're assholes. I can't see it if I have to hide my face. ”
“But... it can also be inferred through the skills you use, right? ”
The sewer has made a sharp point. Azin nods and looks at the sewer.
“Keep going. ”
Azin raises his hand and suggests that the sewer swallows.
“You've been playing solo... but our party has been hunting in the forest, keeping the town to its base. And I met a lot of parties, and I got to know a little bit about faces. There must be a lot of users who know the colors of our party. ”
“Of course not. Lina may not know it, but with your tanks and Daisy's spearhead, there's gonna be a few chicks on the loose. But not me. ”
Azin twists his lips and smiles.
“I clean my eyes when I see. It doesn't matter if it was posted anonymously. ”
I'm not afraid to take revenge. When Ajin said that, he kept his mouth shut and bowed his head. After the sewer is silent, Ajin looks back at Daisy.
“So what are you going to do? You don't want to get behind me? If that's the case, you can go back to town and join Raid right now. Well, if that's the case, I'll have to clean you up, too. ”
“... to come all the way here...”
Daisy takes a big breath in Azin's question. She scratches her head and shakes her head again.
“I don't know! It's a game anyway...! If you get it wrong, you can change your nickname and face later on when it's official. ”
In response, he smiled. Such an element makes a person bold in the game. Game anyway, that's all. But that's not all. Daisy is looking for high ground. There is ambition, small or large. If you stimulate it, it's easy to get an answer.
“Good, then. ”
Azin sticks his hand in his pocket.
“Let's just kill some time and get started. ”
Capturing fishnets.

“That player didn't participate? ”
The man walking in the middle of the crowd glances over and asks. Rank 16th, Wind. With a level of 27, he is a traditional unmanned man who chooses the swordsmanship and proficiency of volcanoes. However, the skill level is not very high. Thanks to this, there is little difference in the level. The rankings are quite different from the highest ranks of 4 and 30 levels of Luke.
“I don't know. It was a first-person camera. I don't know his face.”
The man walking down the sidewalk replies: Of the 140 players, there is only one thunder-driven party. The original plan was to summon them all together as meat shields. The only honor in defeating the boss is a thunderstorm party.
“Is there no other ranker? ”
“I've come in the top 20. It doesn't really matter. ”
The thunderstorm nodded as if it wasn't too obvious. You don't have to worry about the top 20. The problem is the top rankers. Users who want to participate in the Raid have made sure to check their homepage and check their personnel before they leave, but don't know what they're doing.
‘.. there's no reason to be rude. ’
There's no reason for a top ranker to gamble like that. Nothing good will come of losing hope. However, the storm did not hesitate to be vigilant.
“I'm glad you opened the way, by the way. Do you like it that much? Idiots. ”
The Red and Blue Wolves are overwhelmed by this massive force, and they do not appear well. However, the Silver Wolf, which forms a herd, rarely reveals itself. Whether it was an animal with a head or not, the wolves that appeared were more than 20 large herds. However, the wolves who appeared were quickly slaughtered by the leading players and killed or ran away with their tails intact.
“It's officially First Raid, right? They'll be thrilled.”
The thunderstorm laughs. You want to be remembered for participating in the Raid, even if you don't get the benefits. Well, it's good to share memories without material damage, so you can do as much as you want.
“This is now the realm of the golden wolf. You were here last time, weren't you? ”
The thunderstorm swung its sword around her waist and told the party attendant. They went to the port city a few days ago, but before that, they challenged the once rugged forest boss. In conclusion, they failed. The golden wolf is too strong to move on, so they turn their backs before meeting the boss.
Then I went beyond the Forest of Silence, thinking I could no longer be tied to this place, and headed to the port city. At that point, it was already quite different from the top rankers, after most of the benefits were taken by users heading to the rocketers. Thanks to this, the storm party that arrived late in Rockaster had to be ruined. The NPCs giving the quest have already been asked by other users, and the hunting grounds have already been taken over.
‘This is how we reverse it. ’
The thunderstorm gripped the saber and sharpened its teeth. Boss Monster's first hunt. Once you succeed, you can build your reputation. There will be rumors among the users, NPCs will hear rumors. Balkun, the roaring beast, was defeated by a thunderstorm. There is a title in this game. The storm has not yet earned its title, but we know how well Luke's first party in the port city rocketed the title 'Trailblazers’. Obviously, if you catch the boss, you'll get the title. With it, the storm party reverses and leaps.
“I'm out!”
Someone in the lead shouts. And then the screams followed. A golden wolf rushed to the front. You're either foolish or you're an idiot for attacking this many people. Is it a beast after all? The thunderstorm twisted its lips and laughed. Gold Wolves are acknowledged to be powerful monsters, but there are 140 players here.
Indeed, the golden wolf immediately collapsed. A mercilessly running player knocks you down and messes you up. Some of the rubbish on the front is dead, but the power is still intact. The thunderstorm raised its voice.
“It's not far now! Let's be careful and go to the boss! ”
Everyone yells loudly and grumbles. At the sound of his shouting, the thunderstorm lifts its shoulders and grins. It feels good to be standing on idiots. The thunderstorm advances its users with a wave without hiding their smiling faces. It was a thunderstorm that recruited Raid, and he was also the highest level. Of course, leading Raid became a thunderstorm.
And so they went deeper into the forest. The golden wolf continues to attack the pack, and every time a few casualties occur, it is not difficult to defeat. By the time the forest was finished and the lake was visible, the herd had shrunk from 140 to 120, but the storm was still calm. This person can catch it. The storm was certain of it.
What level is he? ’
At that moment, the thunderstorm was like that. An unidentified user who has penetrated the forest with solo play and reached the boss. An anonymous player who has fought to some extent against the boss monster. Is he the top ranker in the 3rd place? Probably, because the third place is marked as private, from your nickname to your level.
‘You're a monster. How much difference does it make? ’
The only difference between ranking 4th Luke and 16th is level 3. Of course, the difference will be large if you add skill levels, but the ranking will not show up to skill levels. Ranking is divided into priority levels and the same level is divided through skill levels. Maybe the hurricane won't be as different as the ranking level. However, what is important in this game is skills rather than levels.
“The lake.”
Someone mutters. The forest ends soon. They gaze at the starry lake and open their mouths. I saw a high cliff unfolding behind the lake, and I saw the crescent moon in the black night sky at the top.
“Valkun..."
Someone mutters. Valkun sits with his back bent. The gray fur and the red-eyed wearwolf in the video looked stunning even though many users had come to get themselves.
[It's a festival.]
The thunderstorm kills the sound and commands it with a gesture. We're done talking about Raid's methods. The users who were staring at the thunderstorm moved in a daze as he gestured. First, a tanker with tanking skills takes the lead. Hiller pulls back the most. Following the thunderstorm's gesture, tankers in heavy armor begin to approach Valkun. Some have advanced shields, and some have only advanced armor on a bowl.
[The festival, the festival. A full festival.]
Valkun wakes up. Kugu...! The forest is starting to tremble. The wolf's cry echoes from afar. The burst cry shook the forest, mixed with another roar of mourning. It was the song of the beast that provoked the primal terror of man. Everyone was nervous and shrugged, but Valkun shrugged his shoulders and smiled. The creature extends its neck long and opens its mouth with its head turned back.
Whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-whoa-a! The lake trembles and the ground shakes. The users stumble with the crooked tree.
[I've never seen so much food. Yeah, we ran out of food yesterday.]
Valkun, who finished crying, lowers his body and bends his red eyes.
“- Attack!”
The thunderstorm screams. If you lose your strength under pressure, it's over! The tankers clamor at his shout and rush towards Valkun. Valkun looks at the running tank and lowers himself completely. He bent his knees and bent his lower back as he stood on the ground with his four feet.
- Kuang! And Valkun. His crumbling ground shatters and the dirt splashes. Valcoon in a straight line collides with the tankers. Of the 120 surviving users, 37 were the tankers. 54 were the dealers, 29 were the healers.
The role share was clear. But...
Valkun's power was unimaginable. The tankers howl back, screaming in a single crash. High stamina means no one has died, but the blow knocks the camp down. Valkun continues to roar and run. Kuaang! Once again, the trailing tank clashes with the Valkun. Another dozen tankers fly into the sky.
“Heel!"
The storm howls. The hillers standing in the back cast their magic quickly. A bright light illuminates and pierces the darkness. The light has seeped into the tanker and restored them. Looking at the users who stood up stumbling, Valkun burst out a wide smile.
[Yes, yes! Stand up! The more I resist, the more I starve!]
“Attack!”
The thunderstorm called out, "Let your neck rest." Then he drew his sword high. However, he did not rush. First of all, it was the dealers who were able to launch the attack from a distance. The wizard does magic and the superpower does superpowers. Some were shooting bows or crossbows. A flying attack slashes through the darkness.
Boom! Magic and superpowers explode. But he only laughed loudly. He staggers and does not retreat. He does not grasp the flying arrow or avoid it. The arrow bends and bounces up the moment it hits his rough fur.
