Episode 32: The Secret Altar (4)
Various elements affect the level of difficulty when hunting monsters.
In other words, a strong attack was not everything.
There were some monsters whose attack was weak but their defense was strong and some other monsters whose attack or defense were weak but had a special skill.
It was the so-called balance in games.
In the rotten orcâs case, it focused on its HP and attack.
It was an undead typeâs characteristic.
They had low defense or slow speed since they had high HP and attack.
Of course, they were slow only to tankers and melee fighters whose strength and stamina were high.
Magicians or healers who invested all the stats to intelligence and mana couldnât run away from it.
The setting was kind of picky to party play.
What if it has an overwhelming attack power when tankers have to directly fight against it to protect healers and ranged fighters?
What if it has even high HP so the fight canât be short?
It would be so harsh for the players that they couldnât help saying âHow can they create a monster like this? Bitches, balance it well!â
âOh, I got scared for nothing.â
However, the rotten orcâs characteristic was to Midasâs advantage.
In plain language, they were that kind of relationship.
âI didnât know why its HP is too high, but now I understand.â
Midas looked so relaxed in front of the rotten orc.
He even called back Lucky who was rushing to the rotten orc.
The rotten orc moved towards Midas who attacked it.
Its speed was threatening enough to normal magicians.
Midas didnât think it was too slow.
Even though the monster is slow, the situation becomes different when the space is small.
âThe longest straight-line distance is about 35 meters.â
âAfter finishing casting within 20 meters, I will have at least 2 seconds with its speed.â
Midas was relaxed because of his condition, surrounding environment, and his calculation with all the elements.
His calculation wasnât false.
âI can hunt it perfectly.â
Unless Midas makes ridiculous mistakes or he gets forcibly logged out, he canât lose this battle.
âThen I have to attack it perfectly.â
Therefore, Midas tried to do it thoroughly.
He tried to finish the battle quickly and enjoy the reward.
âLucky, I will show you my beautiful attacks this time.â
Midas started calculating the perfect damage he could make.
âI will make the bestâŚâŚâ
Midas came up with something.
âWhat kind of titles related to a boss monster did my skills have?â
What do people think of most when they think of God Wars?
People would answer jobs first at this question.
Then some would say skills and make a confident face.
At that moment, the others would say this.
âItâs obviously a title. There are more than 5 or 6 titles on one skill.â
There were so many titles players could get through monsters, skills, and NPCs.
Besides, the titleâs influence in the game was very high.
Especially when their level rose, the influence became much greater.
In a situation when raising levels and changing items became tough, there was nothing better than titles that could raise stats.
The problem was that the condition for acquiring a title was not easily opened.
Even if it was, the condition to get the title was way too difficult.
The hardest title to get was related to boss monsters.
That a normal player meets a boss monster was basically rare and also fighting against it was harder.
Of course, it was possible if a player got help from a very strong group and money.
A title related to a boss monster was nonexistent in Midasâs previous life.
However, the chance had come to Midas.
! When hitting a boss monster 333 times, you acquire the title of âThe Strong Heartâ.
! When hitting a boss monster 505 times, you acquire the title of âThe Marksmanâ.
[ The Dragonâs Dignity ]
! When attacking a boss monster 300 times, you acquire the title of âThe Unflinching Manâ.
There were titles that Midas could get through those three skills when he attacked a boss monster.
âI just have to fucking hit it a lot.â
The condition was to attack many times.
He wouldnât normally consider the titles because he didnât have time to think about that while fighting against a boss monster.
Also, the possibility of success was very low.
âThis chance will never come again.â
In other words, the rotten orc could be the last chance for Midas.
âIf I miss it now, acquiring the titles could be possible after at least level 40 or 50.â
The last thing to consider was either catching the chance or not.
His thinking was not that long.
Midas put his wand down on the ground as soon as he saw the rotten orc coming towards him.
Hit and run. It was not that hard.
Players who couldnât do this process did not exist.
The problem was when they repeated it.
They made a mistake where they didnât know why they did that.
They didnât learn how to stay on their toes and they didnât have to even learn it.
For example, the moment Midas made a mistake at the mount.
Unless they were like Midas who was sent to a second-tier team after he made a mistake at the mound, and a batter hit Midasâs careless pitch, people didnât have nerve-racking lives to learn it.
That was Midasâs secret how he could complete the process for 38 minutes without any mistakes.
[ You have acquired âThe Unflinching Manâ title. ]
[ You have received a rune as a reward. ]
[ You have killed the rotten orc. ]
âIt was as I calculated.â
Midas had already calculated the rotten orcâs death. He planned to finish hunting at the moment his last fireball for the title hit the rotten orc.
Therefore, he could check all the rewards at once.
âNow, letâs check the rewards.â
â Description: This title is given to someone who does not hesitate to throw fireballs to a boss.
â Reward: Intelligence +15
â Description: This title is given to someone who does not hesitate to pull the bowstring towards a boss monster.
â Reward: Intelligence +15
â Description: This title is given to someone who has proved that a man who has the dragonâs dignity does not flinch in front of a boss monster.
â Reward: All the stats +11
Midas relaxedly checked his rewards.
âThe options are so great since they are boss titles.â
Midas didnât hide his surprise.
â Stat: Strength (5+115) / HP (5+115) / Intelligence (110+193) / MP (25 +143)
He couldnât even express his surprise in front of his stats.
âOh, I feel dizzy. I gotta eat some ramen outside.â
He wasnât lying, but he really felt dizzy.
Not only his stats but also the long process had affected him.
âIâm going to feel so tired as soon as I log out.â
He couldnât feel anything in God Wars, however, he was going to feel the horrible tiredness when he logged out.
âI should open the legendary card before doing that.â
Of course, he was going to finish everything before.
He was going to go back to Wiga city and get the third legendary skill from Sahalin.
Midas imagined the moment he got the new legendary card and felt excited.
A loud roaring sound made Midas surprise and turn his head.
There was the rotten orc that was slowly melting with his 0 HP.
It was the same as when he killed the goblin magician.
So Midas didnât feel awkward.
âHey! Warn me before the event!â
He even scolded the rotten orc that surprised him.
The rotten orc simply ignored Midasâs shout and continued his role.
< You are seeking the thing as well! >
âOh, shit. Canât you just die right away?â
It was just bothersome to Midas.
< The weapon that can even beat a legendary weapon! >
âHey, just spit out the experience poiâŚâŚâ
Midas started at that moment.
âWait, what did you say?â
He asked the question to the rotten orc, however, it was not able to answer since it was completely melted and left a nasty smell.
Midas had to ask himself.
âWas it the weapon that can beat a legendary weapon?â
As soon as he answered his own question, he came up with a rumor that was spreading between players in God Wars.
âA mythical class item above the legendary class and wasnât just bullshit but real?â
Midas became stiff when he figured out what it was.
âIf it does existâŚ.. Itâs going to be above buying a Mercedes.â
The information was entirely different from the others that Midas had experienced.
Therefore, he didnât make a rash judgment.
ââŚâŚ.Lucky, letâs go back to the city.â
âUnbelievable. I didnât expect you to find it for real.â
A question mark above Sahalinâs head changed to an exclamation mark with her words.
It was a signal for the reward, however, Midasâs face was still stiff.
Sahalin beckoned with her hand, then a book flew directly to her hand.
âThis is a gift for your effort. Itâs too much for you though.â
She handed the book over to Midas and he got it.
[ Legendary Skill Card Book (Non-tradable) ]
It was a very valuable item where Midas could get one of the legendary skill cards randomly.
âBy the way, have you heard anything by any chance?â
Midas could have roughly answered because his attention was sold to the reward.
However, he answered as if he waited for it.
âIt asked me if Iâm after a weapon that can even beat a legendary.â
Sahalinâs eyes became narrowed at Midasâs answer.
âSo are you interested in the story?â
A new question mark appeared above Sahalinâs head.
âDo me a favor, then I will tell you what I know. How about that?â
A quest window instantly appeared as soon as he answered.
â Level: Level 20 and above
â Content: The NPC, Sahalin has asked you to hunt a slayer orc.
â Reward: Sahalinâs ring
The slayer orc was a boss monster in the Stinky Forest.
It was not an easy quest.
