Swamp of the Dead

* * *

I was really lucky. That's all loyalty had to say. If not for Rayleigh's sacrifice at the last moment, he would have died instantly. After Arachne's last visit, even resurrection as an undead was not guaranteed.

The aftermath of the last blast was unimaginable. Because even the undead, who are immune to poison, were fierce enough to melt in one fell swoop. It was no longer a level worth calling poison. Thanks to that, Raleigh was immediately recalled.

Anyway, the urgent moment is over. Of course, Raleigh, who was just a skeleton, could not completely conceal his loyalty. But it was enough to get loyalty out of there just to make a brief gap. In the process, he also suffered many injuries, but he was not fortunate enough to die.

But if Raleigh hadn't rushed to the fidelity in time, the adventure of fidelity wouldn't have continued. It was horrible to imagine.

‘I can't believe the Undead was poisonous enough to melt them all at once. ’

But in the end, I managed to hunt. And the reward was very sweet.

[Arachne has been completely eliminated.]

[Congratulations!]

[You have also achieved 100% contribution to the hunt for the Forest Master, Arachne the Poisonous!]

[2,000 Karma Rewards!]

The amount of karma given was different because you hunted Boss-grade monsters, too. It was significantly different from Cobalt, which gave an average of 20 karmas.

Of course, the reward did not end there. There were still some left.

[Dry forests rejuvenate.]

[Hidden Forest Spirits pay homage to your actions and offer up one of their treasures.]

Then the spirits that were hiding in front of the faithful began to appear. Spirits appear in the earth or in the trees, grumbling. There were no spirits. It was just a bunch of light floating around, holding on to the size of a person's head. The spirits appear from all over the place.

And after a while, everyone started to pull something together and approach the fidelity.

What the spirits dragged in was a small pouch. The loyalty of looking at it in front of him put his hand on the item.

[Spirit Pouch: A pouch that can be carried on your shoulder or waist. The interior is so vast that you can't even imagine with the power of a spirit in it. Allows you to store large quantities of items.]

It was uncomfortable because there was no inventory. But it seemed like there was finally a useful item. I didn't know how many items I could fit. But it was better than nothing. That kind of fidelity began to soak up the weapons lying on the floor.

I hunted the Arachnes just before, but I had no intention of resting my loyalty. As soon as you collect all the items, you will go hunting in the nearby area again.

* * *

It was about the second day after the first day of competition between characteristics and non-characteristics had already begun.

Camila picks up news of the group one by one before the hunt begins. Hopefully nothing will happen.

Hans, what's your status? ’

[There's no problem! Loyalty, by the way, sounds great. Hunting Boss class monsters by yourself.]

‘I've heard that story. Only Mr. Fierce has succeeded in hunting monsters of the boss class. And by the way, you didn't happen to notice any unusual movements by any of the uncharacters? ’

[Yeah, things are going really well around here.]

‘Okay, well, good work. ’

Starting with Hans, Camila takes her turn to retrieve the news from the group. Originally, I didn't have to do this unless I talked to her first. However, I couldn't erase the ominous feeling that was being pushed from last night. That's why we had to check their safety like this.

I felt strange for no reason. The number of people displayed next to the minimap was problematic. It was because of the changes in the number that bothered me.

[Attribute holder: 20 people]

[Uncharacterized: 83 people]

No one has ever lost their life in their own unique faction. Then shouldn't I be relieved? Then something was suspicious. Besides, no one in the same faction has ever encountered them. However, the number of uncharacterists continued to decline.

‘I don't think they're hitting on each other. ’

Common sense was that it was damaging. Well, maybe he was trying to kill his colleague and get Karma. But Camila never thought that it would reduce the number of uncharacteristic characters.

‘There must be a reason. Did he die on my other side while hunting monsters? ’

In that case, Soon-ja decreased at too constant a rate. I felt more ominous because it was so constant.

I asked the group how they were, and they all said nothing was going on, so I just managed to get rid of the anxiety.

“Phew, yeah. I haven't heard any bad news. Let's go hunting.”

Camila goes hunting, thinking she's worthless.

* * *

Two hours after Camila stepped up to hunt monsters. You hear an urgent voice from her, eager to hunt.

[Car, Camilla! Hermda! We've got trouble!]

Hermes was the man who made Monk his job. He was currently hunting wildlife monsters in the wilderness. Hermé, who hunted to the farthest point from the camp, was one of the strongest men in the group. That's why I questioned his urgent voice. Did he get hurt hunting? Camila stops hunting and answers him. If he was in danger, he had to inform other colleagues nearby.

Mr. Hermé, what's going on? ’

But what Hermé told me was completely different from what Camilla thought.

[Everyone gather at the camp now! They're coming!]

They're coming? ’

[Crazy bastards are giving up growth and attacking the group! At this rate, we'll be there in no time!]

Camilla bites her lip tightly at his words. I can't believe you just gave up on growth. So far, we can see why the unqualified are declining at a steady rate. It was because he went too far this way. The farther away from the camp, the stronger the monster becomes. Ultimately, the monsters in the middle of the map were the strongest, but the uncharacteristic ones seemed to be giving up on growth and taking on a few sacrifices.

You're going into all-out war! ’

Finally, the unknown anxiety was solved. However, it was not time to be satisfied with the questions that were answered. It was really dangerous if all the enemies came at once. If the levels were similar with each other, this side with fewer numbers was extremely disadvantageous. But I couldn't help it. It was inevitable that those who wanted to go to all-out war would be defeated. If this side is avoided, the Crystal Tower in the camp will be destroyed. I mean, this is a defeat.

For now, Mr. Hermé. Return to camp safely. I'll get the others back as soon as I can. ’

At the same time, the loyalty of purifying the swamp of poisonous fog has now become a hunting ground elsewhere. The target was the playground of nearby activities. The sheer reversal of the chasm was the choice of this place because you could get a lot of equipment items, and that expectation was right. There were no boss monsters, but it was the perfect place to loot basic equipment items. It was not just weapons that were carried around. He carried all sorts of defense gear with him, except for the weapons, so his loyalty was almost swept away. At present, he whistled as he saw the naked Nol Warrior before his eyes.

“Whew! You carry a lot of good stuff around? ”

The face of the Nol Warrior was bloodied. Skeletons with ugly glasses stood guard around the play. You can't even make a move on the skeletons' strength. I was just on my knees, trembling like a thorn bush, wondering if I'd forgotten I was in rebellion.

There's nothing more to take from him, but loyalty hasn't killed Nol yet. I was just collecting one piece of equipment that I handed back for a few beatings.

[Nol Warrior's Iron Armor: Iron Armor given to Warrior Knol. Excellent for protecting the upper body and is extremely durable, preventing it from being crushed by any attack. But it is heavy because it is made of real iron.]

[Knol Warrior's Mace: It was used as a warrior's game. It is too heavy for ordinary people to lift.]

[Nol Warrior's Iron Gloves: Iron Gloves that play with warriors. Built for defense, but with these gloves on, hitting an enemy produces a blunt force similar to a blunt force.]

The loyalty of collecting all the items turned my gaze towards play. The reason loyalty kept Knol alive was simple. Knol was more afraid of the strong than he was of himself. And unlike what it looked like, the activities lived apart from each other, so that we could know where the next target was. Seeing his body trembling, his loyalty grinned.

“Hey, who's got better items than you? If you tell me the truth, I'll let you live. ”

Then, curiously, one of the playing hands pointed somewhere. Then, I looked at the tears of loyalty pitifully. It will be to ask for life.

“Queek. Queek. ”

The hyena resemblance was desperate. But there was no loyalty to it. The loyalty that achieved its goal was to remove the smile that had been placed on him and stretch out his waist. And I told the skeletons.

“Take care of it.”

As soon as Nol achieved his goal, Nol's life was over. Loyalty has continued to hunt activities in this way. Players were those who immediately gave up their colleagues' position as soon as their lives were threatened.

“Well, I was surprised to understand what I was saying. ”

However, as soon as the faithfulness turns around, you hear a scream behind you.

“Queahhhh...! ”

And the sound of the system was followed by Dum.

[You have acquired 31 Karma.]

“As expected, a promise is meant to be broken. ”

I had no intention of keeping my promise to the monsters.

The fidelity of finishing the play looked at the status window.

“Status window.”

Then I was able to see a level higher than when I was dealing with the Arachnes. Even the name of the job rose. Of course, it's just a beginner to a beginner.

StatusWindow

Name: Choong-ryung Lee

Level: 4 (4,000 Carma required until next level.)

Occupation: Beginner Necromancer

Talent: Immortality

I didn't really look into the skill. Skill was intact anyway. This is because the level is up first and the skill has not yet been upgraded. However, Karma held more than 1,000.

[Karma Owns: 1,770]

But I was going to gather some more here. I was going to upgrade my Skeleton skills when Karma gathers this time.

However, as the faithfulness examines the status window, the good news continues to be heard.

[Marek's proficiency has reached 100%.]

[You can grant Marek a new ability.]

[Railey's proficiency has reached 100%.]

[You can give Railey new abilities.]

[Would you like to take a look at the list of capabilities you can assign?]

Loyalty first decided to examine Marek.

“Show me Marek first. ”

[Please select your preferred option.]

The system lists the abilities that loyalty can choose from. However, there were not many options available to choose from in the case of Daphne. Looking at the options, I chose the one that looked the most useful.

“Marek chooses dark bleaching. ”

[Dark Blessing: Inflicts Dark Blessing on the target to strengthen its Attack Power.]

At the same time, the system has informed Marek of his growth.

[Marek's Skill Rank has increased.]

[Marek's Current Skill: Class E]

[Increases Marek's "Death Healing" to D rank.]

[Marek has learned Dark Blessing.]

[Depending on the Summoning Skill of the Summoner and Marek's Skill, the initial rank of Dark Blessing will begin at Rank E.]

[Dark Blessing - Rank E: Inflicts Dark Blessing on the target to increase its Attack Power.]

Next, it was Raleigh. The choice of loyalty while looking into his ability to add was as follows:

[Firesphere: Continuously inflates the Firebolt and throws it into a giant sphere. When it hits the target, it envelops the surrounding area with a vase. It only takes a long time to cast.]

[Rail's Skill Rank has increased.]

[Railey's Current Skill: Class E]

The fire sphere immediately began with an E rank. And Raleigh's fire bolts are Class D.

It was time to wrap up a quick status check and get back on the hunt. If there's good news, there's bad news. As loyalty seeks to return to the hunt, Camila sends an urgent message.

Mr. Fierce! They're coming to the group now! You have to come to defend yourself!]
