Survival Quests.

A quest that can only be survived for a certain amount of time.

In a way, it looks easier than a regular quest.

It is natural to think that catching more than a thousand monsters and just breathing for a few days is better than catching them.

The problem was that it was simply incomparable.

“Trouble, survival quests are like monsters swarming here · · · · · · ·. ”

There were more monsters in the field that were triggered by the Survival Quest than any other quest.

“I'm glad we have more monsters. It's even more troubling that there are so many different kinds of monsters. ”

In addition, there were various kinds.

For example, if a task is given to catch 1,000 Orcs, the number of Orcs that appear is usually between 1,000 and 3,000 depending on the quest difficulty.

However, there was nothing unusual about the appearance of all the monsters that could appear on the first floor at the beginning of the five-day quest to survive, and that number could be closer to 10,000 if there were many.

“That's the worst combination of A + rank and survival quests. ”

“I can't imagine how many. ”

How much harder can a dungeon on A + rank be to see than you can imagine?

Moreover, players were only able to choose between two options in this dark situation.

“What do I do? Should we just sit tight? ”

“Rather, it smells of blood and swarms of monsters. Rather, it's better to move while killing Metallurgical Monsters. ”

Destroy the monsters in place, or kill them before they arrive.

“Let's just wait here and see. ”

Most players choose the former.

“There are players around, so we can join forces. ”

“We should move together for a day or two. ”

It was not wise to move around in situations where we didn't know what monsters were coming from, and in situations where it was bad for the jungle to work.

But not everyone did.

Some moved to hunt monsters.

Kim Woo-jin and Lee Jin-ah did.

It was dreadful news for the monsters.

That's what three Orcs are doing against YiJina now.

Three-to-one, Orcs were clearly advantageous in number, and there was no sense of being pushed by Orcs, even at their height.

“Manners Punch! ”

Phew!

However, against the three, she committed unilateral violence.

Phew!

With a knuckle-like fist, you crush the bodies of the Orcs like clay.

Phew!

Your nose collapses in a single blow, your face is crushed apart, and your skull sinks into the third attack.

Orcs with skulls caved in, of course, to the ground.

Seeing that, Lee Jina looks at her fist and thinks,

‘I am strong, indeed. ’

You're strong.

But it was never a narcissistic act.

Nor was it narcissistic.

‘I'm not weak. ’

Lee turns his head to think about it.

There, I saw a Skeleton Soldier defeating the last one of the five Orcs with an inch.

"He's just a crazy monster. ’

Lee Jin-ah, who was watching the skeleton soldier, remembered what happened a few hours ago.

Kim Woo-jin, who learned through the Grim Reaper's mask that he could access and control the Skeleton Disease, immediately started testing.

He wanted to see how far he could control the Skeleton Soldier.

‘At first he was a jerk, but...' ’

Of course, the results were not very good at first.

It was because manipulating the Skeleton Soldier was not simply about manipulating the characters in the game with the mouse and keyboard.

It was more like dealing with wild horses.

It didn't work out the first time.

Over time, however, Kim Woo-jin began to deal with the Skeleton Disease surprisingly well.

‘Now I'm going crazy. ’

Five Orc corpses that were slaughtered at the base of the Skeleton Soldier were the result.

‘Skeleton kids weren't kidding either. ’

Skeleton Soldier Kim Woo-jin showed more combat skills than Skeleton Soldier.

‘Earlier, they summoned Skeleton Soldiers. ’

Even the Skeleton Soldier connected by Kim Woo-jin was able to use Kim Woo-jin's skill.

Skills such as Vampire, Blood Weapon, and Hematotomy could not be used, but skills such as Summon Skeleton Disease and Create Bone Sword could be used.

Horus' eyes and Anubis' eyes could also be used.

There were penalties, of course.

Using skills through Skeleton Soldiers will consume about 3x more Magic Power.

‘Some fight to the bone, some just use one when you're far away. ’

However, it was a slight penalty compared to the possibility of the Grim Reaper's mask.

“Lee Jin-ah.”

At that time, the Skeleton Soldier called Lee Jin-ah.

Lee Jin-ah looks fat on the call.

“Isn't it polite to at least talk to people face to face? Huh?”

Being subordinated by a Skeleton Soldier wasn't a very pleasant thing to do.

“Would you like some manners? ”

Most of all, it was Lee Jina's idea that she was not Kim Woo-jin's party, and that it was worth trying for a Skeleton Disease.

“How are you feeling? ”

A voice came from the back of Lee Jin-ah's life equality.

“Ugh!”

Lee Jina turned her head in panic and saw Kim Woo-jin approaching from the ground up.

“Damn it! Let's get a little more popular! ”

“How are you feeling? ”

Kim Woo-jin repeated the same question instead of answering Lee Jin-ah's voice.

The question, however, was that Kim Woo-jin's voice had subsided much more than before.

I felt like there was no third time.

That's why she answered quickly.

“He's healthy enough to inject manners into those who have no manners! Oh, not that you're rude. ”

Lee Jina's voice fades as she goes backwards.

“Now we can hunt. ”

“Huh?"

Lee Jina tilts her head.

No, I've been hunting. ’

For three hours after entering the dungeon, the number of monsters caught by Lee Jina and Kim Woo-jin reached a hundred units.

Ordinary players were hard to catch all day, even over two days.

And now you can hunt?

“So what have you done so far? ”

Kim Woo-jin answered Lee Jina's question briefly.

“Warm up.”

The appearance of Kim Woo-jin spitting out a word was not mixed with any jokes.

I showed my sincerity.

Lee Jina said to him.

“On second thought, you don't look so good. I was, like, anaemia! I have anemia. Ah, I feel dizzy all of a sudden. ”

Kim Woo-jin didn't say anything to Lee Jina.

Tuck!

Instead, a skeleton came up and lightly stabbed him in the butt with my meter.

She cries out in panic at the feeling of feeling above the leather armor.

“What are you doing? ”

“I tried to put some iron in him because he had anemia. ”

“Iron? Not a knife? ”

“After all, it's the same as getting iron into your body, right? ”

“Shit, does that make sense? ”

Lee Jina shouted as if it were ridiculous, and Kim Woo-jin nodded his head.

“You seem to be anemic from your anger. ”

In his appearance, she gave up defending herself.

8.

The most dangerous period in a Survival Quest is Day 2.

Big battles don't happen on Day 1. Players, monsters, and both play only pre-exploration.

As soon as the quest ends, the all-out war begins.

What was even scarier was that the battle bites the tail.

For example, after battling a group of Goblins, a group of Cobalts and Orcs will appear shortly.

The commotion created by the battle provoked other monsters.

It was the beginning of a monster wave.

This was why players who received Survival Quests chose the option to go hunting instead of staying in one place.

“It's too quiet. ”

“Isn't that right?"

However, this did not happen to the players involved in the hunt for the needle snake.

Players who had been preparing for a fierce battle on Day 2 met much like Day 1.

“Two days of quiet, three days of quiet. ”

Even at day three, there was no fierce battle.

Rather than a monster wave, it was hard to even see the monsters at some point.

“Is this what a Survival Quest looks like? ”

“Can you believe that? ”

It was hard to understand.

“It's an A + rank dungeon, not anywhere else. ”

It was an A + rank dungeon where they were located.

It was hard to even gauge the date by fighting monsters.

“Something must have happened. It doesn't make sense that it's this quiet. ”

“I can't. We need to figure out what's going on. ”

For this reason, some people began to move to find out why.

“Oh my God · · · · · · · · · Are these all corpses? ”

“How many have died here? ”

“· · · · · · At least a hundred people died here? ”

Dozens of monsters piled up like piles of dead bodies were found by those who started to move.

That wasn't the only one.

Such a Killingfield lay in place all over the jungle.

“Who is it?”

It was evidence that someone was hunting monsters as they slaughtered them.

“Whoever it is, it's not normal. ”

“I think Spec is more than common sense. ”

“No, it's not about Spec. Look at them. ”

“Is that it? You're a bookkeeper.”

Moreover, it was not just a way to use superior power.

“I used a wooden bookshelf here to create a maze and confuse the monsters. Look at the ground there. There are traces of soil everywhere. ”

“· · · · · · · Build a trap. ”

“This is hell, not a trap. ”

It was accomplished through elaborately designed traps.

Players had no choice but to feel more terrified.

It was the same for Lee Jin-ah.

‘Oh, my God.'

He looks at the dead bodies of Orcs, Lizardmen and Goblins in front of him.

It was the monsters that she hunted.

However, it was not a monster that was hunted in the way of YiJina.

Is this how he hunts? ’

It was Kim Woo-jin's way.

"Crazy bastard, how can you hunt like this? ’

It was way beyond common sense in the standards of Jina.

Hunting monsters was like hunting a lion for a wolf.

He used tools, he used operations, but in the end, power was the most important.

But Kim Woo-jin was different.

Kim Woo-jin didn't fight back. Even if he had much superior power, he built the stage.

After choosing the right land, I set up a wooden maze, and then placed blood von von von Sword nails and knives all over the maze.

I used the Skeleton Soldier to lure the monsters away.

The attracted monsters were addicted to bloodshed as well as injuries inflicted by the Blood Weapons and Bonds installed primarily by Kim Woojin, and were left to deal with Jin and the Skeleton Soldiers.

After that, the results were as they were visible.

Bodies piled up like mountains.

But blood never flows like a river.

Kim Woo-jin made weapons by sacrificing monster corpses.

You sacrifice monsters you kill to make Skeleton Diseases, produce Bone Sword, and suck their blood to fill your own.

"The more corpses, the more monsters." ’

The more battles continued, the more corpses piled up, the more monstrous Kim Woo-jin became.

Gulp!

In fact, she once again swallowed and looked at Kim Woo-jin, who controls the Skeleton Disease, wearing the Grim Reaper's mask on top of the tree.

At that time, I took off the mask of the Grim Reaper Kim Woo-jin was wearing.

He was surprised and said.

“What's going on? ”

Kim Woo-jin replied after landing on the ground.

“Things have changed. ”

“What?"

Things have changed?

What's going on? ’

It was Kim Woo-jin who showed up for the first time with monsters like warm-ups.

If he could say something like that, it wouldn't just be a bunch of monsters showing up or something.

Because of this, she asked with a tense voice.

“Looks like there's a lot of monsters, huh? Or are they just swarming in to kill us? ”

Kim Woo-jin approached the bodies of monsters piled up like mountains instead of answering the question.

You cast a spell on the corpse of the Orc.

“Summon Skeleton Soldier. ”

The dead Orc's flesh melts and the bones of the Orc rise from its place.

And a flame began to rise inside the skull filled with darkness.

He looked frightened.

“What, what? ”

Wasn't it only supposed to be nine? ’

Lee Jina knew that Kim Woo-jin could summon all nine Skeleton Soldiers.

But now Kim Woo-jin has summoned the tenth Skeleton Soldier.

That wasn't even the end.

Kim Woo-jin summoned the eleventh Skeleton Soldier and then the twelfth.

“Wasn't it only supposed to summon nine? ”

Lee Jina freaked out and asked, and Kim Woo-jin replied.

“I could only summon nine. ”

Then he summoned the thirteenth Skeleton Soldier.

“Not long ago. ”

In the head of Kim Woo-jin speaking, I remembered a notification I heard a moment ago.

[Everyone here is afraid of you.]

[Delegates of the Dark World admire your walk.]

[Delegates in the dark world convey a part of their power.]

[The skill rank of the Skeleton Warrior Mastery skill has grown to a new level.]

Remembering the notification, Kim Woo-jin looked at the skill window in front of his eyes.

[Skeleton Warrior Mastery]

- Skill Rank: D

- Skill Effect: Increases the ability of the summoned Skeleton Soldier and increases the number of Skeleton Soldiers summoned. The higher the skill rank, the more effective it will be.

- Skeleton Soldier stats increase by 15%.

- Number of Summoned Skeleton Soldiers +8

Kim Woo-jin who saw it smiled bitterly.

‘Looks like Johann Gerorg was abandoned. ’
