He started off for the Embay Forest because there was a risk of devastation if he fought a duel around the territory.
Just in time, there was a dumping ground in the Mbay forest.
'But I don't think it's possible to win.’
The atmosphere and personality were clearly different from the previous duel, so Malkant wouldn't have enjoyed it properly.
I'll do my best not to hang this ridiculous flowerpot necklace.
It was clear that it would be a fight to determine the outcome.
'쯧....... try it once.’
I blame Malkant for not giving up his pride, but there was no other way.
And the forest of Embay that arrived.
"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Malkant raised expectations for the mood of the hideous, dreary Mbei forest.
The expectations grew bigger when they saw the crowds all around the speculative field, and they peaked in the duel that had just begun in the stands.
And that was it.
In the first place, superstar Arena was not a common duel.
The fight here was more like a show.
"What the hell is this?".”
Perhaps shocked, Malkant looked at the participants and demons rolling on the floor with their mouths wide open.
'You're embarrassed, too.’
It was natural for Malkant to be shocked by such a skit if it to be shocked by such a skit.
And you would have noticed that the devil rolling the floor wasn't very strong.
"Well, this is where the speculative fields are."
Jae-ho said calmly.
It is inevitable that he is disappointed.
I had no intention of making a lame excuse.
"The dumping ground is more like a contest to buy the Dwarf's products than a duel itself. And as you already know, demons aren't very strong either."
Malkant, still in silence.
"I'm afraid... the demons here will find it hard to satisfy the great king."
"......right."
Malkant finally opened his mouth.
"But... it's quite interesting."
“?”
Jae-ho looked at him in surprise at the unexpected response.
Twinkle Twinkle-
As if it were an interesting spectacle, a smile hung around Malkant's mouth, glaring at the duel.
"Both sides fight desperately. But I don't feel any fighting spirit in it, so it's weird...….”
"Yes?"
" Literally. I wonder how you can do that when it's not a struggle to kneel down. Huh? That stupid! How could you make such a choice there?!!"
“???”
Before I knew it, Malcolm was quite immersed in Superstar Arena.
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
"That stupid!! Isn't that demon happening? Why do you stumble and lose your wits!"
"Right! That's it!!!”
Malkant who is overindulgent, wielding a threatening fist.
“…….”
The unexpected development embarrassed Jae-ho.
I'm sure his expression was rotting in the first time?
―1! 2! 3!! 4!!!
The count started and the devil fell and couldn't get up.
And the player on the opposite side staggered in a wreck.
"How many seconds will it be over?!!"
"Yes?"
Malkant asked Jae-ho hurriedly.
"Uh... it'll be it. Maybe......."
"Yes..."
"What?! The Great King!!! That demon is about to rise!!”
"What?! Even after being so beaten?"
The devil who stumbles and tries to rise!
And the count is eight seconds!
―9……!!
“9!!!”
"9!!! What's next?"
―1………!!!
"Hurry up and count!!!”
The last count is longer and longer. Malkant, who's going to jump in with excitement!
―10!!!!! The game is over!!!
Finally the duel ended with the last count.
The winner left after receiving a pass necklace from the Dwerf judges, and there was a brief hiatus before the start of the next match.
"Hoo...... this is a shame in front of you, Won."
Malkant, who regained his composure, smiled awkwardly and said.
"Hmmm, did you like it?"
When asked by Jae-ho, Malkant grinned.
"In fact, it was unpleasant at first. As you know, I really love duel.
"I know."
"But... doesn't this seem quite interesting to me? It's like watching an ant fight...….”
“…….”
It was the interest of the twisted Malkant.
"And I could reconsider Kruma's dumping ground. So far, I've been on the speculative field to satisfy myself, but... You've created a dumping ground for the viewers, haven't you?"
"......right!"
Because he was immersed in the game, he didn't seem to have heard what the Dwarf was saying.
"I've just truly been a spectator and watched the duel. This feeling is really... Long time no see...….”
He closed his eyes and nodded, as if greatly satisfied.
"King Alcia, if you don't mind, can we postpone our duel for a while? I'd like to see more of these games for now."
"Of course, as much as you like."
It was a big welcome for Jae-ho.
I needed some time to come up with some countermeasures, rather than just fighting a losing battle right away.
* * *
"How can I defeat the Great Malcolm?"
Jae-ho, who left Malkant in a dumping ground and came to the devil village.
Situated in a bar there, Jae-ho gathered all his brainwave connections and asked.
Dwerf Drelier, Goblin Schindler, and Elf Tina...….
Technically, Tina wasn't a brainwave, but she sat in anyway.
"Hmm... ...Malkant the Great is stronger than any man I've ever seen. I admit you're strong, but honestly, I think it's hard to win if you fight with him properly.”
Dreliere spoke frankly.
"I've heard rumors. I once fought with the Great Goblin, but even with the King's bombshell baptism, he didn't even get a scratch.The more."
The Shundeul only said depressing things.
"Should we sneak an arrow outside the dumping ground?”
“…….”
Somehow the elf with the best image was offering the meanest solution.
"You should never do that unless you intend to kill or go to war."
Once Tina's proposal was cut short.
"Hmm... ...it remains that victory is not guaranteed, but isn't there still room for you to be stronger than you are now?"
Jae-ho shook his head at Drelier's words.
"No, we don't have enough time for that."
Unlike NPCs in New World, Immodalians have an intuitive growth method called level and ability.
It was Jae-ho who thought it was what Drelier said, but what he said was a little different.
"You don't have proper fighting equipment, do you?"
"Hmm?"
Jae-ho owned more powerful weapons than anyone else.
A seed shovel of Tinlite and a fireplace of Paira.
Moreover, Jae-ho's compatibility with the team was good, so he was able to achieve much stronger power than his basic ability.
"No, no. I'm not talking about weapons. Take a look at your current outfit. Is that really the costume of a fighter?"
Without any significant defense, the basic costume he received at the start of the game was worn with an apron.
Of course, I wore flower items from time to time, but I certainly didn't rely on them at all, unlike others.
Physical + Ignorant Gang-deal
That was all Jae-ho had to do.
"Why don't you dress yourself up?"
Jae-ho nodded at Drelier's suggestion as if he had a point.
"Is there anything that you can use right away?"
"Whoo-hoo, what's the point of saying? You can use all of our masterpieces anyway. I'm fully qualified.”
He nodded gladly.
"Click, good. Then I'll give you some bombs with the essence of Goblin's technology."
"No, that's fine."
There was no need to use bombs in duel.
"Okay! Then follow me here."
Drelie who led Jaeho down to the base of the tomb.
Passing through the open exhibition room to the public, he went straight to the blacksmith's shop and introduced some of the various equipment stored deep in the workshop.
"You prefer light-weight rather than heavy and dull middle-aged, don't you?"”
"Well... yes, but not really the gloves. It's very uncomfortable to wear a hard one on my body.”
Unless it was cloth clothes, Jae-ho's natural mobility was bound to have some restrictions.
"How about this? It's a lightweight upper body armor that's built on a resilient, light oozinger tendon, with minimal protection of only the main vital points and mobility."
[Clear Intrusion Vest]
[Class: Legend]
[Defense: 350]
[Perfect defense is difficult but will save your life at an important moment.]
[ : Low probability to prevent fatal blows, high probability to halve physical damage.]
[ : Your footsteps sound down by 80%.]
"Huh? This looks like an assassin."
Dreliere nodded at Jae-ho's question.
"Well, doesn't it matter what the user writes?"
"That's true, but...….”
First, Jaeho put on a vest on top of the apron.
Fortunately, it was possible to wear the apron as if it was not divided into upper body armor.
"And then this."
[Dark Explosive Boots]
[Class: Legend]
[Defense: 280]
[A special pair of boots created by the collaboration of Dwerf, the Devil and Goblin.]
[ : Increases agility by 20% if there is an elf nearby.]
[ : In the event of a kick attack, additional damage commensurate with the force capability is inflicted on the enemy.]
A collaboration of three races that makes Jae-ho nervous!
There used to be a lot of unique options, but both were useful to Jae-ho.
'Elves are always there, and my kicks haven't done much damage.’
Again, Jae-ho was satisfied with his boots.
"Well, I think that's enough."
I slowly felt like my body would break down if I wore something more than this.
"Laughing out loud. Your look made me look that way. But don't you think you should take care of your pitches?”
"Throwing? Wouldn't it be too uncomfortable in combat?"
"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Our Dwaffes make different things.”
Drelier beckoned Dwerf, who was far away, and he soon came up with a wooden box.
"To be exact, we didn't make this.”
"Hmm? You just said what the Dwaffes made was different.”
"Hoo-hoo, of course it's what Dwerf made. But it's a Dwerf who's not here."
“……?!”
At that moment, a scene of a warp passing through Jae-ho's head.
For Jae-ho, the one who made bad preconceptions about Dwerf!
"That's right. It's fire...…!”
Tub-
Jae-ho forcefully pressed the box that Drelier was opening and closed it.
"I don't think this is my cup of tea. So either give me another one or I won't take it."
Bulka!
A gambler who has not returned since leaving for Lactadium to apologize to his family.
It was the pitch in this box that he made and sent away missing Jae-ho.
"I checked it out, but it doesn't seem like a big problem. Fortunately, that bad hand gesture seems to have improved thanks to my daughter."
"Oh, right. He was my son-in-law.”
Jae-ho received the box with an uncomfortable look on his face.
'Well, the old man who seemed to kill me right away when I met him told me he was definitely okay.….’
I'm sure it's a good one.
[The helmet of a coffin filled with longing]
"Bulka..."
Jae-ho hesitated to confirm his feelings in the item's name.
Maybe... he really...….
[Class: Legend]
[Defense: 310]
[A helmet full of Bulka's longing and memories.]
[Only you can use it.]
[ : You can check the remaining mana of the enemy.]
[ : Switches used skill to another skill.]
[ : Drop legs at high speed to greatly increase movement speed.]
"......Are you sure you're okay?"
Jae-ho asked seriously.
What is the word 'nostalgic' about what is it?
