Golden Experience

"Is this Ernthal? There's people out there."

"Oh, it's three. If you think the best is 5, it would be great to find out just how difficult the dungeon is in the middle."

"... I don't know if the actual maximum difficulty is equivalent to 5 because 5 is the maximum value."

Three people on the Wayne, Guinolegamesh and Myeong Tai lists were in front of Ernthal as planned.

After leaving the city of Carnemonte, I continued to travel slowly, making experience gains, checking the performance of my equipment, but this time I flew all at once because the dungeon was officially implemented.

"There's an old King Hills capital with disaster 5, so... Tentatively assuming a disaster of 5, I think our party would be a little tight if 3."

"Isn't it a bit more experiential and tasty?

"I think so. But before that, I don't know if the maximum difficulty value is 5. Assuming that there is more difficulty in the setting, but if it can only be displayed up to 5 in the notation, it means that there is a pin to a kilo among 5. If so, it is possible that disaster is more than 5, and 3 might be a little easier to do."

It is said that SNS is durable and hard to peel off. There is certainly a possibility of that.

If we were to fight disaster without artifacts, we would not be able to win if we gathered the members of that time again, even if they were stronger. You may not even be able to rip off your armor.

At that time, I was lucky enough to tap the Spiritual Magic of the Spirit Lotus List, but it seems that even weakening it was a critical line. It didn't work after it actually came out of the armor.

In any case, this Ernthal is the first. Not that I'm going to attack all of a sudden, but Gil's right. It would be just right for an arms test. If it doesn't work here, King Hills Capital is another dream.

"... that seems to have reduced the difficulty of the Lacoline Forest. Same as here 3.

Shit, should I have gone that way then? That's closer to King Hills. "

"You can go after this place. Are you still watching SNS? Look, it's time to go."

Gil hastened the list of spicy onions and entered the city of Erntal. Wayne chased it too.

The city is quiet and quiet, with nothing particularly strange. Except there are no residents at all.

The doors, windows, etc. of the house may have been opened, but they are all repaired. Is it that after the demons raided this place, they fixed it?

"For once, let's proceed with care not to bowl in with the other players. I'd prefer someone I can work with, but if they don't, it's a hassle. And if you meet someone, they might mistakenly identify you as a demon and attack you."

I don't trust players as much as I used to, but where Wayne trusted players, PK doesn't decrease. Trusting and not being alert is another matter altogether.

It seems to be a common perception of the players around us that we don't engage with other parties and don't interfere with other parties, and fortunately we never meet the players.

But I never met a monster.

"It's just a walk in the city..."

"Hmmm. I don't think that means there are no monsters...

The big building you see over there is probably the building where the lord originally lived. If it's the boss area, I think it's normal to place monsters so they don't get too close. "

"You only have a home. And no one."

I wonder what the other parties are doing.

Have you already made your way to the Lordship Hall? Or are you even exploring the house?

"... nobody, not necessarily. Speaking of which, I haven't checked the house."

Did Gil think the same thing? He opened the door of a nearby house and went inside.

"... ooh!? Zombies! There's zombies in the house!

Wayne and Myeong Tai List also enter the house in response to Gil's voice.

There were several zombies in the house, and one that appeared to have already been cut down by Gil fell on the floor.

Wayne rushed to one of those who were still standing, and doubled them with the sword.

Normally it would hit the spine or something and it would stop, but this Adamas sword wouldn't do that. It has been proven that so many enemies on previous journeys can break it all down.

Once the zombie is half-baked, the other one flashes straight sideways around your hips, splitting up and down. While doing so, Gil stabbed another heart with his sword and the fight was over.

"... hmm? It's definitely stronger than a normal zombie... That's all."

"You don't look like a normal zombie. Little Beauty... aren't you corrupt?

Wouldn't corruption happen in the dungeon?

Zombies are zombies, even if they're somewhat strong, and you won't get a big item anyway, and dismantling human corpses is a bit "

"Well, let's just let it go. If it's not a big deal in the house, is it a waste of time just exploring?

"... I'm also concerned that the 3 dungeons of miscellaneous fish are just zombies"

That's what the Spicy Pollack Roe List says, but I can't help it because it seems true.

"Wow, it's possible it was a strong zombie.

It was almost a blow, but I'm not exactly saying that this weapon is a national treasure... but it's not so strange to be a little aristocratic family heirloom, and I don't know what difference it makes to a miscellaneous fish, even if he was probably a vegetarian and about the same size. "

Gil's right.

The feeling that you're still swinging around in gear doesn't disappear. I received a special grindstone from the blacksmith's parent at the service to ensure proper care, but the sharpness has not dropped at all and the blade has not spilled. Speaking of care, I wiped off the blood fat and the like. I saw the sword thinking so.

"... Gil, it looks like this zombie isn't just a zombie."

"Oh?"

"Look at this. I haven't even gotten to the blade spill, but the tip of the blade is only slightly dull. Probably worn a little when I turned down the bone."

Normally, if you break a beast's bones with an iron sword, the blade is chipped.

Depletion can be minimized by optimizing the angle at which the blade enters, the way force is applied, the speed of the sword, etc., but cannot be completely zeroed.

The state of Adamus' sword now resembles an iron sword after cutting it with minimal wear.

Because I don't think Wayne's skill is that high, perhaps a master would be able to cleave without depletion.

It is a form helped by the performance of the sword. An iron sword would have broken where it hit the bone. No, if the bones are so sturdy demons, it's also suspicious if they ripped the meat out of iron in the first place.

"Seriously...... Oh, if you look closely, so is my sword. The shield... doesn't seem to change that much. Because they were bare hands too."

Looks like Gil was attacking with a shield.

" 3? The map itself sounds like just a city, but the monsters suck pretty bad. I think we would have struggled harder if we hadn't updated our gear, too. If all the other parties were in the middle class... maybe no one would make it home alive"

I checked it and it also contained quite an amount of experience. If you take the Waynes as top players, you get the same amount as you did when you fought demons of mid-level or somewhat lower strength.

No enemies have ever come out, so we've gone deep into the city, but not necessarily without more powerful enemies ahead.

In SNS, 3 was expected to be medium-sized, but I don't know if it really is. It is a delicate place to defeat these zombies in an unprepared mid-sized party. There is also the possibility that the field of 3 is the player's upper class at the moment.

If we have to go any further, we might want to secure an exit.

"... for now, let's go outside. If they're zombies, they shouldn't do anything to walk around while they're bright. Whether you want to move on or run, you better go where the sun hits."

A line in Wayne's words hurried out onto the street.

The streets are still shiny, and I can't feel the signs of the living.

It's only natural if the enemy is undead.

Hmm?

"What's going on? Gil."

"No, I just felt like I saw something over there... There's nothing here. Are you out of your mind?

There were zombies in the field that were thought to be empty, and the weed that was thought to be just a zombie was just turning out to be strong.

I would like to resolve even a few doubts.

But Gil sees something further into the city and is reluctant to go helpless.

"No, it could be a mistake. It was a moment. It was far-sighted. I wonder if the stone walls of the other house glowed for a moment."

The stone walls glow.

Suspicious enough at that point.

I've never heard of stonewalls glowing as far as Wayne knows, even if it's a mistake to see them.

"What do we do? Spicy Pollack Roe. More suspicious than enough...."

"... I think you should check here. Even if we retreat here, we end up with nothing to gain. We need to find out someday, and we're the top players. If you put in your gear, even NPCs on this continent could be considered superior. If there's any danger, we should be able to pull back."

"... okay, let's move on. Gil is at the forefront, Spicy Pollack Roe is in between, and I want to squeeze."

Proceed carefully, but nothing comes out.

I took the time to get to the stone wall where Gil glowed, but there was nothing particularly suspicious about it.

"I knew there was nothing..."

Suddenly, the area was surrounded by light.

This is probably magic. That's also the range magic of 'Thunder Magic'.

I've earned quite a bit of experience from Wang Du's showdown, some new armor, defense and LP should have increased considerably, but they've taken quite a bit with the blow now. If I take another blow, I can't stand it.

Gill only recognizes himself in the tank position, and both defense and LP are probably the best players, but there's nothing he can do just against the magic of the lightning system. This is more inevitable than wearing metal armor. Gil is also quite flustered because that portion is working. Looks like he's taking a lot of damage.

The Ming Tai list is... falling to the ground. He is a magician and his defense and LP are correspondingly low. What he's raising is mainly MND, and what MND contributes is' spiritual magic 'and' grant magic '. With full support specialization, he couldn't seem to withstand the damage now.

"... Spicy Pollack Roe..."

"I came to see how things were going because there were people out of private homes in a very short time."

The voice was heard from above.

Apparently today's magical presence can fly through the sky.

There stood a white woman sitting in the air with long, bright dark hair.

"It's not a big deal. Is this the only shot you got?

The woman glanced at Wayne and said, looking away for a moment, her hair flowing in the wind.

"Well, I set foot in this city without knowing it, and I'll compliment you on that savage courage. Take that souvenir to the underworld."
