How the Villain Lives

14. Disarmament

There are a total of 3 boss monsters in this dungeon.

The first is the real boss, the Fire, who is staying in the cavity in the center of the dungeon. I couldn't come up with a definitive answer, but I was expecting it would not be a great fall in strength compared to Elder Hydra. The other two were the Knights of Fear staying at Lava Falls and the crazy senior spirits that existed in the flame wreck. You may get the Essence of Fire by catching them. You may get the Essence of Fire by catching the Great Monster nearby.

But that was impossible.

"Is it hard to attack the boss, too?"

"I can't help it. There are no priests or wizards."

Most warrior teams cannot use recovery or buffs. Of course, there were many top-rankers and senior rankers who were hunting in a way that poured fire at one moment, but after one hunt they needed a major break. Even after the hunt ended without being hit, the range damage of the Fire Monsters was quite serious.

Kim Lee Hyun-do is no better than himself.

Overall, the composition is evenly distributed, but the time spent hunting will increase due to the absence of a specialized dealer and lack of professional training, which will be much slower than they are. I'm glad you did three steps, no matter how well you played.

After lightly finishing the maintenance, Kim Lee Hyun started to see the party as he approached the cavity by pulling out edible plants that bloom all over the place.

"Never mind. Let's go to sleep."

"I have something to tell you..."

"What is it?"

Baek Canal looked around and lowered his voice.

"He's invisible."

"That guy? Ghosts?"

"Yes."

The ghost who thought he would act like Kim Lee Hyun was targeting this dungeon unexpectedly.

Due to his failure to carry out his duties and the sound he heard from the mighty, the Hundred Canaries hated ghosts so much that they were not always able to slow down their surveillance.

"I don't care. If you die here, you will benefit from it and you will not be harmed in life. And if you don't even know the subject,"

Argh!

The force that lightly swings the spear into the ground builds reality.

"Stop it if you let me pay for it."

"The tough ones are here."

"I don't care. By the way, what is the current situation with consumables and equipment?"

"I revealed the floor."

I was stockpiling a considerable amount of consumables, to be precise. However, before less than a day passed, all the consumables held by Kim Lee Hyun's party revealed the floor. No, it wasn't just consumables.

Wizards and priests need to rest for a day because of the depletion of their magic power.

"Should I have done that? You can't even go hunting properly."

The subordinate recalls what happened yesterday, as if he was not complacent.

After a long hunt, the ghost approached Kim Lee Hyun without any warning to those who returned.

'Can I talk to you for a moment?'

'What story?'

'It's about simple transactions.'

The ghost has asked for a deal.

What he asked for was simple. From all the consumables Kim Lee Hyun Party currently has, everything from potions to magical catalysts, trap materials and scrolls. Enough items are priced, but they can't be found in this mission, so they are treated more valuable.

When he asked what he would give in return for the purchase of things that were not easy to obtain, even at the price of a boat in the city, the ghost smiled with an unmasked face.

"Let's be honest. Essence. Don't you have enough?"

"Not enough. So you're going to give me an integer?"

"Oh, of course, I'd like you to do some personal service there. Wizards and Kim Yi-hyun can squeeze all the magic power and enchant it."

"Do you think you can afford that? Here…."

"26 Superior Essences."

In a word, silence came to me.

"… 26 Superior? Really?"

"If you don't like it, I can turn it into a lower grade item."

"No, it doesn't mean that. Superior, of course."

What surprised him was that the ghost alone collected twenty-six essences.

Even the party members were barely collecting 75 for a full fortnight. It was about collecting an average of 5 per day, but it seemed impossible to collect 100 by the end of the mission.

However, if what the ghost says is true, you can clear the mission of this weapon in 4 steps without problems. Of course, Kim Lee Hyun concluded the deal with all the consumables he had.

The ghost, who disappeared after one transaction, reappeared after a day.

"Then we'll get the rest. Buff, please."

When the skill level is only the lowest E level, it is activated only according to the prescribed format. However, when the grade rises, it becomes possible to modify it somewhat with the will of the caster. Increases duration and power by injecting tons of magic or improving it in a proprietary way.

No matter how special the wizards and priests are, the duration was much longer than usual when you increased all the magical power and used the skill. In addition, it also nested the buffs that were caught once.

Needless to say, this is very inefficient. When you use a buff in a stack, the amount that increases after exerting magic power on the ship must remain constant at 1,2 degrees. However, the ghost consumed all the magical power of Kim Lee Hyun's group and received a buff.

"What the hell are you doing? Are you looking for the finest essence?"

Kim Yi-hyun sighed, as his subordinate said.

None of the men with heads turned around. Of course, because of that, I was able to move to my own taste, but at this time I was wondering if I should accept some clever ones.

"No matter how long it takes, it's impossible to get 10 of the finest essences in half a day."

It is possible to catch monsters in one go, but it is impossible to catch monsters from all over the place in a long time.

"So senior integer?"

"Phew, you stole the Superior Essence that you have and gave it to us. Would you like to target the Superior Essence? Of course, what he's after is the essence of fire."

"Yes?!"

There are only two monsters that can drop the essence of Fire.

It was a Knight of Fear and Crazy Senior Spirit. The Fire Weapon was excluded because it was the NPC that gave the mission.

"Does that make sense?"

"Of course not."

I once attacked a Knight of Fear to get the essence of Fire.

The result was miserable. Even with Kim Lee Hyun, there were two casualties. You may have to make a strong alliance with him to catch him, but you will also have to deal a lot of damage.

It's not a Class B mission for nothing.

'But….'

He brought 26 Superior Essences by himself.

Kim Lee Hyun thinks that a man named Ghost must have the ability to compare to people in the top 10. Moreover, it made me expect that if I thought about giving all the superior essences without hesitation, I might be able to catch the boss monster.

"As I said earlier, it does not create unnecessary disputes with ghosts. No matter what you do wrong, just step back. Maybe he'll be our partner."

A hole was made in the wall and the igniter and scroll beyond it rolled in and pulled out the fishing line and secured to the opposite wall. This was a simple but effective trap that lit the scroll as soon as the line was broken and the ice arrows stored at that moment were fired.

Normally, I wouldn't make it up for the price, but I could make as many magical traps as I can now that I've given you a superior essence and swept away most of my consumables.

"It's been a long time since I've built a trap."

The skill level that has been stagnant is going up to class A at once. Moreover, the traps created by various skills have been incredibly good, even though they have been made of superior skills, not intermediate ones.

Tick.

Finally, Seong Hun, who completed all the traps by installing a drug stiffening device, looked beyond the cave with bitter eyes.

'Catch.'

It was not possible as it was originally.

However, Sung-hoon had a new sword called Rune Blade. Hellfire can be used once a month. I haven't used it since Cool Time came back. And now is the time to write.

'A Fire Monster is not completely immune to attack attributes. It will do less damage.'

In particular, Hell Fire will be able to deal enough damage no matter how relieved it may be. However, Sung-hoon could not be reassured by it alone. If the opponent was a normal boss monster, he would have believed in Rune Blade, but he was prepared for the fire monster.

Wooooooo.

Kim Lee Hyun's blessed Rune Blade was shedding a subtle light.

Moreover, abilities have also been largely increased. I've only tried this once. The target to hunt is the Knight of Fear.

I received a Castle Attribute Bonus and even though I thought about hunting crazy Senior Spirits, I confirmed and gave up the ability to endlessly summon malformed bodies and lower spirits without a distinct body shape.

At least if the opponent can hit the sword himself, it will be easy to deal with it.
