Golden Experience

"What is that, foreman? There's someone in front of the boss."

The boss of this wetland dungeon is a giant gray bear.

Periodically, or perhaps every time you get hungry, you appear outside the boss area and have the habit of attacking nearby fish and players.

If you attack a player, the body will disappear and you will immediately go to the next victim, but if you attack a junk deer or NPC in the city that came to collect it, you will eat meat and go back to sleep satisfactorily.

And this gray bear can get close enough to touch when sleeping.

It's a monster so powerful that it can't be defeated by beginners by nature, but if we gather the numbers, buff them as much as possible, and attack them simultaneously for the head, we can drive them to a dying state before the bear wakes up.

That's how the Janets had succeeded in this boss's crusade several times.

Initially they had gathered numbers and turned them around on a dozen scales, but sometimes this method was easy to get consolidated experience points for low difficulty dungeons, and many members quickly stepped up and moved to another hunting ground.

However, if the number of people decreases, the individual burden will increase for that amount, but the amount of experience gained will also increase. That experience will also increase damage and allow you to cover the reduced number of people.

For that reason, Janet and the four of us continued to be alone. That's right, the four of us couldn't kill each other with a single blow, but with the few LPs left, even if we fought normally, we could have defeated them before we got hurt.

If you repeat that over and over again, naturally the boss will also stay alert and stop sleeping or change the bed.

But this gray bear is on alert for a while, but as the proverb goes, if it gets past the throat, it forgets the heat, and immediately returns to its original routine and sleeps with a big mouth open in front of it.

The Janets don't know if INT has anything to do with smartness, but if it does, it must be low.

In the past few days, there have been regular attacks by disgusting fish such as angels.

But the SNS event book thread wrote a declaration of termination by various players, which led to the resumption of the event.

"I wasn't hiding anything else, and it wouldn't be weird to have other beginners to start with. But that, there's only two of us? And you're a much smaller player, aren't you? Thin dwarf pair, I guess?

Being away for a while was preventing me from knowing which phase the current giant bear behavior pattern was.

That's why I was asking how things were going, but I figured out the timing because the novice party ran away while saying what time was.

That time is definitely about the meal time of the giant bear.

Then leave it for a while and the bear will be asleep.

That's how he came to assassinate the bear.

"... Allison, look carefully! It's not a small player, it's a big bear! What the hell is going on?

"Be quiet, Margaret, the bear is apparently not asleep either..."

"I'm sorry, Sister Ja..."

"... I mean, isn't the pattern different? Was it that flashy?

As Elizabeth said, bears somehow have leopard patterns.

That leopard pattern stands out very prominently in this wetland, where white and pink flowers bloom by the way in one side of green. It would also blend into the surrounding landscape if it were in a drier area such as Savannah, which is counterproductive here. Does that mean a warning color? Does it have anything to do with the fact that the body is getting bigger?

"But I don't think there's an atmosphere of attacking those players...."

"I wonder if it's during some kind of event. There are a lot of people around here who don't have much difficulty, but I've never heard of such an event...."

Either way, if the bear is awake, the raid is a failure.

It is the right thing to do if it is meant to be.

No matter how much experience you earn thanks to the bear, fighting from the front is risky.

But I misjudged the fact that there are players who are not being attacked, and that if some kind of event was ongoing, I would have liked to get on with it if I could.

In this game, events do not happen to individual players. It only happens as an event in the game world.

Therefore, even when an event occurs, it does not become an instance area or the like, and even players not related to the event can intervene at any time.

Depending on the way and timing of the intervention, it is also possible to receive rewards, etc., in the same way as the event initiator.

If, for example, when taking a quest from an NPC client, he or she had informed them in advance that he or she was partying and that there would be six of them in this case because members would meet later, even if there were only two of them at the time of ordering, a reward of six would be promised from the outset.

Instead, for example, if that were false and only four people were involved as a result, you would just get paid for that, or in some cases you would lose your trust.

Janet and the others are playing for this kind of efficiency because they want to have fun and make money if they can, but that doesn't mean they're useless for those special events. It's where I want to get on if I get a chance.

In the meantime, it could be some kind of event, so I'm gonna call you.

Even if it sucks, we're in the middle of an official event, and there's no Despena.

I'll leave it to my sister.

Same as Margaret.

With the approval of Allison, Margaret and Elizabeth, Janet called out to two suspicious pairs wearing black and white robes over their heads.

"Hello. Uh, that bear, uh. Why won't they attack you? That bear, the boss monster, right? Is this some kind of event?

Then that black-and-white robe looked at each other and asked Janet the opposite.

"Ibe...... hmm? Something like that. You guys...... Gentiles dialect or something?

"... you know the meaning of the event. Events, events, things like that."

"... I know that much. It just doesn't look like we're having an event here, and I just thought it was some kind of hidden language."

The suspicious pair began to argue in some soothing atmosphere.

The face is invisible, but the voice is similar and the height is slightly different, but the atmosphere is also very similar. Maybe he's a relative.

Looks like it was NPC.

Why is the NPC here? I'm a little suspicious.

I wonder if a player would have this outfit, but isn't it a little weird if it's NPC?

Are you telling me it was Atashi and the others who had the real event?

If they - no doubt women from their voices - were NPCs, the event would be ongoing and the players in that vortex would be themselves.

Just a little, I felt excited and nervous like a cold sweat on my back.

"Well, whatever. I'm not very interested in your story either. We just want to see the results of the experiment.

It sounds good to think that you guys are fighting this bear from time to time, right? Then maybe it's just the right thing to do to see Bear perform. "

"... four Beast girls? No, it's nothing. Well then, bear. If you want to go mad, you can play with these girls.

... don't disappoint me. "

When the leopard bear trembled on the words of the white robe, it roared toward heaven.

Resistance failed.

My body is stiff and I can't move.

It wasn't just a roar, it was some kind of skilled behavior.

It only took a few seconds to move, but if this happens in battle, you will definitely be attacked unarmed.

Fortunately, however, the leopard did not attempt to attack that gap.

I look at the black and white robes to see how they look.

…… What are you doing... Oh, you don't have to worry about us. Use whatever you want, even if it's like a non-discriminatory range attack. I'm not as weak as you guys are in a battle. Don't worry. "

Apparently, I was worried about the black and white robes.

Boss Bear, I think you're completely obedient to that black and white robe.

Absolutely fucked up. This! I don't care what the bear thinks, it's more powerful than before!

Evolution or something? These robes did this to you, no matter how you look.

"He said something about the results of the experiment, and there's no doubt about it. Is this an event for Atashi and the others to watch alone!?

Fortunately, this rigidity has also been resolved during the current interaction. But I don't think those black and white robes will let me go.

No. You'll have to fight for everything, even the ex.

"I'm coming!" Inspiration "!

"'Be stiff'!

"'Taunt'!

"'Spiral Arrow'!

First, Janet bottoms up everyone's offense with her skills, and Elizabeth increases Margaret's defense as a tank with grant magic.

Once we confirm that, Margaret incites the hostility of the target, and the attack begins where the enemy has set a target for Margaret. First Attack is the role of Allison, whose bow is the main weapon.

I've only been brawling about angel opponents here lately, and before that, I was as attacking sleeping bears unilaterally as I was, but once and for all, the basic tactics as a party are well established. As for smell, it's slightly obscure, but neither do the Janets think they'll ever be able to earn experience with the bear here. It was rare to practice deer against a bear lispawn waiting time.

Margaret's "Taunt" didn't seem to resist. This skill is the sum of STR and VIT on the active side and the subject performs resistance judgment on the MND value.

All you have to do is refer to the two Talent Values, essentially the Active Side Advantage determination. If all abilities were side-by-side, it is possible if we simply earn hostility, even if there is a difference close to double our abilities.

The leopard bears headed straight for Margaret. Allison's shot arrow pierces his forehead with a spiral.

"Spiral Arrow" does not fly as the arrows rotate, but is a skill that flies through a spiral orbit with mysterious force. An active skill that improves destructiveness rather than penetration.

Due to the recent playstyle here, where sleeping boss bears kill before they wake up, they consciously acquire a type of skill that improves attack power purely over precision and auxiliary effects.

However, the blow, which would normally have been wearing the skull and inflicting critical damage, eventually fell to the ground, struggling hard, even though it had been on the bear's forehead for a while with the momentum of the helix.

"No way! Can't get through!?

"Change the arrow! It's a waste, but on the Magic Iron Arrow!

Magic iron is similar to iron at first glance, but it is a magical metal whose magical conductivity is said to be good. In this game, Enchant effects change depending on whether the magic conductivity is good or not.

If the person shooting the arrow acquires the skills and magic to be temporarily enchanted, it would be about the cost of the material for the Demon Iron, but Allison is just serving as both a scout and archer. It's not a good idea to make it any more instrumental poor.

Therefore, this Magic Iron Pot had a permanent Enchant that increased its Attack Rating. It was expensive, but I couldn't help it.

Even if you can't defeat this bear and destroy it all, there's no point in fighting if you can't do any damage.

Even if it was during the event, and it just got cheaper to die here, Janet was thinking of doing whatever resistance she could.

Anyway, it's probably a special event like no one's ever seen before.

I want to get as much information as I can and connect to the future.

"'Beast Soul'!" Drop it "!" Lance Charge "!

Janet still threw a leopard bear's neck toward Margaret, releasing a thrust with the sword (...) of her hand.

It is a penetration with multiple stackable self-reinforcing buffs.

'Beast Seoul' is a so-called pedigree skill that can only be acquired by a pedigree of beast descent and is a powerful self-reinforcing skill that temporarily allows you to multiply your VIT figures on STR and AGI. The duration is 30 seconds, but can be activated up to three times a day. This skill cannot be activated overlapping in itself, but other skills can be activated, thus exerting greater power by combining them.

"Abandonment" is a skill that increases Attack by abandoning oneself, as its name suggests. Specifically, instead of taking double damage next time, it doubles your Attack for 10 seconds.

This skill refers to the attack power at that point, so if you activate "Beast Soul" first, it doubles the amount of that ride. Doubling the damage taken next is a major disadvantage, but it can also be avoided by devising it.

The idea is' Lance Charge '. This is inherently an active skill in "Pokémon", but any weapon capable of poking can be activated. And more powerful than the poking active skills of' Swordsmanship '. But there is also the disadvantage of being damaged by recoil when the attack hits the target. The amount of damage taken at this time is determined by the difference between your VIT and your STR.

Because there is no damage if VIT is higher than STR, it is usually the preferred skill for tanks stretching VIT, but daring to take this damage makes it possible to control the doubling damage caused by the disadvantages of the previously activated 'throwaway'.

Melee Attackers can be called basic combos, but their effects are extremely high.

Janet's sword tip pierced the neck of the leopard bear, sprinkling blood.

It didn't go as deep as I thought it would, but based on Allison's arrows not passing, it looks like he's also improving his pretty bear defense, and I can't help it.

Allison's two arrows flew in there.

The demonic iron arrow struck directly into the leopard bear's left eye, temporarily depriving him of his left sight.

It appears to have been a special hit with skill, but they couldn't go any further.

Previous Bear opponents would have pierced the eyeball and slapped critical damage, but this time stayed to hurt one eye.

At the moment, it is unclear whether the product can be taken to the site defect. But it's better than no damage.

Although the dashing leopard bears showed a flash of frustration when attacking the left eye, they quickly regained their attention and dared to hit Margaret as if they were being pushed by something.

"'Lampert'!

Margaret used her shield to activate her abilities and endured the impact of the bear ─ ─ but she jumped unbearably.

Margaret danced through the universe and fell to the surface as she twirled like a leaf of a tree.

Margaret!

Margaret, who falls down, does not move.

<... sorry, I can't move. It looks like it's stun. And the LP is in the red zone. Isn't this just impossible?

Apparently, I can't even speak up.

Elizabeth skipped 'Recovery Magic' for that Margaret.

It would have been over if Margaret had kept attacking, but now that Margaret had fainted, the Leopard Bear saw Elizabeth using Healing Magic.

"Holy shit!" Slash "!

Aiming for effects like foot-paying, Janet releases skills to the back leg of the bear to distract him.

But that didn't even break through tough fur, and I stayed to cut a few hairs off.

"Hard! What the hell!"

I finally got a cut on my neck with Beast Seoul, Abandoned, and Lance Charge combos earlier. It seems that Active Skills like those acquired in the early days of Swordsmanship do little damage.

It's tougher than I thought. Loser event?

'Wait, look in the left eye where the arrow just hit me... You're not normally flirting?

<... I'm dyed red with blood, but I don't see any scars. >

That arrow was high!

It's about time I woke up, but what am I supposed to do when I woke up?

I can't deal with the current situation.

Janet's attack doesn't make much damage, as does Allison's arrow.

Margaret, a tank, is dying after just one blow, and Elizabeth is a wizard but lacks attack magic.

"Hey! That's pretty good, Bear! Their, uh, Gentiles weren't as strong as they thought, but that's enough."

"Right. Was it a blow all over them in the neck? In contrast, this one stunned the other shield with one per body. Assuming you had a good fight originally, say reincarnation is a success."

Looking at the sound of the mood of the black and white robes, the leopard bear stood up and felt relieved.

I don't even care about Janet and the others.

Sure, it's the damage that's doing it, but I guess it's because there's not enough attack to be fatal. I haven't been dealt with at all.

I guess Janet and the others, who bled slightly as usual, are unforgivable to the leopard bear, but the mood of the black and white robe is more important than such a trivial matter.

What the hell are those robes like to yield to this terribly powered bear by so much?

"... I wonder if it's a mastermind character."

I can't wait to be empowered by bosses everywhere at this rate.

I don't suppose that's true, and even if we're going to do that, we can't help it.

Margaret returns from Stan and is poised to sneak out.

Both leopard bears and robe Phantoms must have noticed, but they don't look like they're paying attention.

"Is that it? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Bear enhancement isn't the goal, is it?

"Oh, that's right. Well, no. In the meantime, I think I have enough to check in on this wetland. Let's go to the next one."

"That's right. Bye, ladies. Say hello to the bear."

The white and black robes left behind, walking in a breathtaking footsteps toward the city.

But the hindsight, I should have seen for sure, disappeared a little farther away.

I accidentally rubbed my eyes and looked at it twice, but no matter where I looked, I didn't see Robe. Alison and the others are doing the same, and Janet's eyes aren't going crazy.

The leopard bear is suddenly twitching his nose. Does the smell remain?

Either way, it's no different that he's disappeared.

After a while, the leopard also stopped letting his nose snap and sat up like he was out of his mind.

"... it was more of them than I thought"

"... If there is no information on SNS, I wonder if Atashi and the others will encounter number one"

"... hills and aurals are noisy, but honestly the pair were just a little happy because they were peaceful or plain"

"... how about that. I mean, I went toward the city, I wonder if that's okay. Shouldn't I call your attention or something?

"I may be..."

"In the meantime, I don't know what to do with this place..."

The leopard bear returned to me and stared at Janet and the others.
