1st Place In The Ranking Is A Villager

1st place in the ranking is the villager

- Volume 2 Episode 20

20. Hall of Heroes (2)

The monster house on the 1st floor was able to kill all the monsters at once with Hoya's skills if they were put in one place.

The traps on the second floor were able to figure out the location and type of all traps with the help of Novesca's search skills and spirits, and plan an avoidance route.

The hallucinations that occurred on the third floor could be easily overcome thanks to the spirit of Hoya, Hieros.

The 3 minotaurs on the 4th floor were divided into 2 people, 2 people, and 1 person, and it was possible to break through surprisingly quickly if they poured their skills without sparing each other.

However, the boss monster on the 5th floor held back their dungeon attack.

The boss monster of the dungeon 'Hall of Heroes' was a doppelganger.

As powerful as a boss monster, the doppelganger randomly selected one of the party members and copied and used some of the target's power.

As soon as he tried to attack properly, the doppelganger copied and used Hoya's power in succession.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"Hahaha, it's inevitable, Hoya-sama. Since it's come out this much, it won't come out anymore! ...will it not come out?"

"If it comes out again, the manipulation is obvious. Does this make sense?"

Today was the last day of the event.

They sincerely prayed that the doppelganger would not copy the hoya.

How did Hoya's skills come and eat, even if he barely succeeded in hunting, he did not die, but resurrected and completely turned the situation upside down for a few seconds.

In addition, it comes with a debuff that is not a joke and also recovers.

Therefore, they could not hunt and were forcibly expelled after the time limit of 3 hours passed, or Hoya was almost one-man and cleared after 3 hours.

It was difficult for Hoya himself to face a boss monster with the same ability as himself with the attack skills removed.

The title of 'Indomitable Will' was felt resentful.

"I said the words make sense. Now don't even talk about it. Let's pray for a copy of me instead. I'm the only rear dealer in the party. Heh heh heh."

"I really hope so!"

They once again prayed sincerely and headed to the Hall of Heroes.

[Remaining time 2 hours 59 minutes 58 seconds]

Upon entering the dungeon, they sprinted through the bridge.

Unlike the first day, it was Reister and Hoya, not Arko and Hoya, who were the first to enter the fortress.

The two most agile people were torn in both sides to pull the monsters out of the hallway.

Immediately after that, the remaining two faced the monsters pouring out after opening the two doors.

"Sacred Will!"

A magic circle appeared under Arko's feet, and then it emitted light, dyeing his body pure white, and then disappeared.

Instead of lowering the attack power by half or less, it was a skill of the monk that raised the defense to an extreme.

Arko gathered as many monsters as possible towards one point, and the others also handed over the monsters to Arko.

If you use a heal and drink a potion while using the holy will, you can survive until Reister and Hoya bring the monster.

Arko, who confirmed that Reister and Hoya had arrived, was able to leave with the help of the spirit Noim who had contracted with him.

Noim was able to get out of the center of the monster at once by bouncing the floor he was standing on with his own strength, but instead his posture collapsed and he could not hold his center in the air.

Reicer accepted such Arko and quickly moved to the place where Snow White and Novesca were as far away from the monsters as possible.

Hoya used the skill just in time for Reister and Arko to leave."Explosion."

[The cloudy magic bracelet responded to 'Explosion'.]

['Explosion' is cast 3 more times.]

No, you don't need to do an extra cast!

A total of four exploits in this place would cause damage to other people who were fleeing because they were too full.

Hoya quickly turned one additional exploit cast to the horde of monsters, and the other two exploits turned the target toward the end of the hallway he had passed through.

Kwagwagwagwang! Kwagwang! bang!

There was not a single monster left in the place where the big explosion occurred.

Explosion, Moan's magic tricks were the magic tricks he learned when he entered the intermediate stage.

[Scheme 5 - Explosion]

Creates a massive explosion that deals 370% of attack power.

This skill does not distinguish between peers.

MP used: 2,500

Cooldown: 20 hours

They quickly went up to the second floor.

On the second floor, Novesca took the lead.

The party followed him, tracing exactly his footsteps.

If Novesca deviates even slightly from where he is stepping, he is thrown into a deep canal outside the fortress or otherwise, various memorizations come and abnormalities occur.

In severe cases, monsters would come out of the secret room and run all kinds of traps to run at them.

In that case, it was necessary to move while avoiding the operation of the trap as much as possible because the time wasted time consumption was greatly increased.

The third floor was a place that didn't feel indoors at all.

On one side, it is wide and deep, and lightning strikes on the cliff with no end in sight, and small stones that seem to be difficult to even step on are floating.

In other places, lava flows and melts the ground, and in some places there are carpets of blades.

It's all an illusionary landscape.

In the original landscape, only traps are visible in various places inside the fortress with a structure similar to the first floor.

The traps hidden by hallucinations.

They were dangerous traps that would be extremely poisonous or moribund if they moved without thinking because of the hallucinations.

"Hieros."

"okay."

In response to Hoya's call, Hieros approached Hoya first, then Arko, and gently stroked his eyes.

Then his eyes, which had lost focus due to the hallucinations, became clear.

"Uhhhh! Cockroaches all under my knees...... Ugh."

Then, those who were quickly released from the hallucinations by the power of Hieros quickly moved to the stairs of the fourth floor.

It took them 46 minutes in total to reach the 4th floor.

When I stepped on the 4th floor, three minotaurs that were slightly over 2m caught my eye.

One by Arko and Novesca, one by Reister and Snow Bek, and one by Hoya.

"Eye of the Storm."

"Holy Explosion!"

Arrows leading the storm Rain poured down and light exploded.

"I'm going bang!"

"I get it!"

Arko and Noveska continued to hunt without sparing any skills.

It wasn't just the two of them, either, and so did Reicer and Beksul.

The next floor was a floor with boss monsters, but he didn't seem to care at all.

Thanks to his spare skills, it took only 9 minutes to hunt three Minotaurs.

They prayed earnestly as they headed to the last floor.

"Don't only come out Hoya-nim!"

When I got to the 5th floor, a black liquid lingering in the center of the 5th floor caught my eye.

The doppelganger, it procrastinated and began to gradually take shape from the bottom up.

Following the feet, the legs, torso, and two slender arms were drooping, the head was protruding, and the long hair was fluttering, and even clothes were prepared.

What appeared in that way was snow-white all over the body.

"---."

As the snow-white doppelganger opened his mouth, blades of black ice appeared and flew towards them.

While everyone was holding on to the doppelganger's attack, Hoyaman evaded the attack and moved forward.

It had been agreed upon in advance.

"Buff, divine power. A villager's blow."

Aww-!

The villager's blow, which he had been saving for the past hour, for a certain time, exploded without mercy on the doppelganger.

"... something doesn't feel right."

Beksul's feelings were complicated when he saw Hoya hitting something similar to himself without any hesitation.

He momentarily said he was doing something to stress him out? I seriously looked back on the past.

[You have cleared the dungeon 'Hall of Heroes'.]

[The total time taken to clear the dungeon 'Hall of Heroes'......]

However, all those complicated feelings blew away when they saw the system message.

If the results are good, then everything is good.

* * *

"Thank you for a short time, Dovan-nim, Yooa-sama. Do you have any plans to fully join us?"

"......"

"Ah, we'll be leaving as soon as the buff is over! Right?"

"okay."

"If both of you agree. But if you change your mind later, you should always tell me."

On the last day of the event, there were about 5 hours left until the event was completely over.

Bane saw the marble floating by the door leading to the Hall of Heroes.

[1st place 1 hour 29 minutes 47 seconds]

[2nd place 1 hour 39 minutes 52 seconds]

[3rd place 1 hour 40 minutes 01 seconds]

⋮

Only clear records are recorded on the marble, which is an intermediate tally, so it is impossible to know which guild achieved the record.

But Bane smiled at those counts.

The final record of the Royal Knights was 1:29:47.

It was currently number one.

It was a record 10 minutes away from second place.

There have been no changes to this ranking and record since yesterday, so perhaps this is the final record, so it is almost certain.

When Bane was so relieved, the figures on the marble plates moved.

[1st place 57 minutes 46 seconds]

[2nd place 1 hour 29 minutes 47 seconds]

[3rd place 1 hour 39 minutes 52 seconds]

⋮

"uh......?"

Bane wasn't the only one surprised by the sudden change.

It is impossible to open the door once the daily entry limit is met twice, but it is possible to summon the door and marble plate.

The other two members of the Royal Knights who had gathered to summon the gate, Doban and Yooa were also very surprised.

"What the hell is this crazy record?"

"...Is this even possible?"

It was a record set by shortening and shortening the record of the Royal Knights.

As evidence of that, the record from 2nd place is only a few seconds apart.

No, from now on, I should start with the 3rd place.

It is true, but how is such a record possible?

I couldn't think of any guild that had the possibility that that record would be possible.

The next day, the 'Hall of Heroes' was newly created on Initium's official website.

We headed to the Hall of Heroes to check out which guild took first place with a record that almost all players couldn't ignore.

It was clearly written there.

[1st Hero]

[Snow White Tiger] Snow White Raster Arco Novesca Hoya

The owner of the record of less than an hour was Snow White of the Ice Princess.

'No, how?'

The rise rate of Seolbaekho these days has been amazing.

However, it was the increase in the name value due to the discovery of the spirit, not the strength of the guild itself.

But how did you come up with such a record?

Is the spirit's power that great?

Or maybe.....

'Ah, no.'

Bane erased the possibility that had suddenly appeared in his mind.

No matter how high his level, he is not a villager. There would be no such record that villagers were hired as mercenaries.

It must have been that the power of the spirit played a big role.

As Bane organized his thoughts like that, he sent his answer sheet out of his head.

On the one hand maybe? I kept thinking about it, but it doesn't make much sense.
