"That's not good..."

A little, the outlook could have been sweet.

There are a lot more people than I imagined.

Seeing the South Gate, the destination, there was already a crowd there.

When you look at it, you obviously don't seem to be an adventurer, even normal city people line up there no matter how you look at it.

I thought people wouldn't increase that much because of the tie of the first 50 crusaders, but the most experienced golden around here is Guruno Lime, which generates a massive outbreak this time.

Even humans who do not participate in the crusade should have been properly calculated as much as heading to the plains for experience.

(Together, detour from east or west?

That idea comes to mind, but I immediately denied it.

The Deus Plain at the South Gate is the weakest place near the city.

If you go anywhere else without changing your level or gear, there's a real risk of death.

Basically, in the first place, in "Cat Ear Cat," the market dictates that the southern direction has weak enemies.

Even if you look at the whole kingdom, you can see it from the fact that there is a Demon King's Castle to the north, mainly the King's Capital, and a Ramric to the southeast.

But on the other hand, there is a law that places away from the city have stronger enemies, so if you go south from the Deus Plains, the enemy's level will rise for a while, marking the highest level 150 on the south in a dungeon that is about three blocks ahead of the field.

By the way, the boss there is said to have killed the most players in "Cat Ear Cat," "King Butcher," and when I suddenly encountered him in my first glance, too, he was minced by a blow.

Well, incompatible with swordsmen, that's harder to beat, but in the current version, a level 120 sticky fungus forest is so much more threatening.

Besides still being hard to fight in swordsmen over there, the sticky fungus monsters that show up there grow over time.

If you leave it for months or so in game time, what a thick forest of fungus spreads all the way to the city.

I can say it's one of those places where you have to hit your hand one day.

but

"Scratch over there. We're going outside!

Not even if I can think of such a way forward now.

When I cut off the extra thought, I pulled the apple's hand and stuck it in the south gate.

As we went through the gate and onto the field, the number of people decreased alarmingly.

Apparently, it was still a normal city person wandering near the gate.

Golden wouldn't have to worry about being attacked if Guru Nolime, and if the attack even hit, he'd be just an average person, but he'd be a kid, but he could be defeated.

The people of the city who thought of it that way came to the gate, but it seemed to accumulate near the gate without the courage to step into the field.

Meanwhile, we're supposed to be on the field here by now, but there aren't any monsters around.

I don't know how they fit together in this world that has become a reality, but in games, as a precursor to mass occurrences, there will first be no more monsters in the target area.

I guess that's why the people of the city came out to places like this, but we have to use this time effectively.

"... let's go"

Encourage the apples to get out of the waves of those concentrated near the gate and go back down the plain.

I don't think it's particularly necessary, but I walked away trying to avoid nature and people's eyes.

Take a breath around where people sparkled,

"I'll run from here."

After saying no to a word apples, I started traveling in earnest.

The people of the city, and the adventurers, accumulating near the entrance, seem to intend to kill the golden in a group.

It does reduce the number of escape routes slightly if the number of people increases, and it is more likely that they can be defeated.

But on the other hand, my chances of stabbing Todome are greatly reduced.

If there is an algorithm that can defeat Golden alone, people should rather avoid it.

The Plains of Deus are a beautiful place, with nothing but short legged grass and occasional growing shrubs and large rocks found in the essentials to block sight.

Running for a while, the number of adventurers who seemed to think the same as us seemed to be sparse.

But that number is not that high.

The maximum number of participants in the crusade is fifty.

If the majority of those three are teaming up to do it together, that number will be less than twenty.

I wondered what I would do when I saw the gate, but if it looked like this, I wouldn't even have to change the plan so greatly.

"Around here, okay"

At least, there are no players nearby.

Besides, I recognize the shape of the rock in front of me.

If I remember correctly, there would have been a monster gushing (pop) point over there.

"Ringo, the first one should come out near that rock over there.

Preemptive strike, please. "

When I said it, Ringo nodded at me for once, looking at me like he didn't know where he was looking anyway.

Normally, a monster doesn't spring (pop) in front of a player… but this mass occurrence event is one of the few 'special events' to which it is an exception.

Monsters can pop in front of players, and the time to lipop is greatly reduced.

If I can, the first time I can't get in the way of anything else and this one is ready and waiting.

I want to get the hang of golden hunting here.

Check your gear in the time leading up to the start of a mass outbreak.

Regardless of the initial protective gear, most non-stamina-based rings were switched from defensive up to attribute attack specific objects, given the low risk of being attacked.

Because of this, I learned fire attribute magic, and if you can afford it, you can try it.

The weapon is nonetheless agnostic and sidelined.

Though the machete correction doesn't work, agnostic fire is the most aggressive thing I have right now.

Actually, I tried to lend the agnostic fire to the apple, but the apple wanted a heatknife better.

Hi, he liked the bright red blade with the heat.

It could be a bit of a dangerous hobby.

As far as attacking with a lightning strike, using a heat knife does not increase your dagger proficiency or your fire attribute magic proficiency, but the heat knife also has a lot of attack power.

No matter how much thunder strike you say, it doesn't seem powerful enough to deal normal damage to Golden, so you won't mind either.

And that's when an apple looked up and set up a heat knife that I wasn't sure what I was looking at until now.

Looking at the time, it's already ten seconds ago.

I followed in a hurry, too.

"Ringo, if he shows up, shoot me with all the thunder you can.

Where the enemy's movement has stopped, I'm going in with this.

... Please, don't hit me, okay?

The apple nodded firmly to my words that I joked about.

"... not to hit you."

Don't pray, try not to hit it there, I wanted to get stuck, but time has come.

Particles of light gather together, from which one creature arises.

- Two protrusions in a gummy, golden body of puppies, cat ear type, a trademark of norime.

Definitely, Golden is Gnolime!

"Apples!"

By the time I screamed, the apple was already moving.

Thunder strikes break from the tip of the knife.

(... fast!

But Nolime the Gold reacted to the blow of speed that would have been inevitable to me.

But lightning strikes don't fly in a straight line.

That's like five lightning arrows flying away at the same time.

Especially a strip of light that bounced sideways blurred Nolime.

It's a multi-stage hit, albeit a high-powered attack, no matter how level one.

Again, Nolime's defense didn't seem to break through, but he definitely did one damage.

Plus there, Apple releases a thunderbolt with two or three shots in a row without getting in her hair intermittently.

(Good!)

Bearing in mind that he could not escape ahead of the path rather than hit the attack, Ringo had repeated lightning strikes early in the arrow succession.

And although Nolime has definitely read through the trajectories of those attacks, the nature of thunder makes it impossible to avoid everything completely.

On the contrary, the apple guided me well and finally made me a clean hit......

(Hey, not if you're staring at me)

I use 'Divine Speed Cancel Move' to penetrate someone who has taken a direct hit and completely stopped moving.

Did the apple take care of me, too, or he seemed to stop the thunderbolt shooter?

Golden goes all the way to Guruno Lime, nothing's in the way.

Steps and cancellations are used to earn distance and get in between skills.

Nolime's still not moving!

Shortly cancel the last step to activate the dagger skill 'Six Pokes'.

Still, the opponent's movements have stopped.

(I can go!)

If your opponent still stops at this distance, you won't take this blow off.

I was dressed with a dagger poked backwards, and I went into Nolime,

"What?"

I slipped through that body.

(Yes, what the hell...)

I look back in surprise, but there's no more Norime figure there, just a few particle remnants left.

But it also flies quickly, scattered in the wind.

And the anomaly doesn't stay just that.

"... ugh!

Turning to a painful voice I couldn't hear, that apple held its face in millimeters, trying to hold its own body and withstand something.

"So, are you okay! What the hell happened?

When I rushed over, she said in a weak voice.

"... ru,... pup"

But I can't hear you very well.

When I put my ears close, she said it again.

"I think I did"

... I see.

Apparently, a massive level increase is something that is physically pleasing.

I've only raised one level at a time for some reason, and Ena raised a lot of levels in the first "Trial Cave," but she was injured in person and not nearly there.

However, it is a human modification if it is received on par, such as a dramatic increase in muscle strength at the level.

No wonder you feel some change in your body.

Or seriously again, it was a plain scary specification.

Either way, the increased level of apples means that apples stabbed Todome in Nolime.

That means it was the direct hit of that lightning strike that made me a toddler.

Come to think of it, in "Cat Ear Cat," defeating a monster will leave the body for a while.

Hey, it looks like Golden was out of time when I started the assault.

It doesn't make any sense!

Ya, I was just confused because this is the first time, and in a way, it's as planned!

When I was desperate to get an excuse in my head, an apple came near me.

And most importantly, I'm going to make this suggestion.

"... should I follow you?

I shook my neck sideways while I was impressed that Apple could take such care of me.

... you know, apples.

Kindness hurts people sometimes, doesn't it?
