1st place in the ranking is the villager

- Volume 3 Episode 1

1. Guardian of Izbaront (3)

"Baduya, Hieros."

"I'm sorry~!"

"Kong!"

A black wolf and a white and black boy appeared next to Hoya, who was digging through the monsters.

Hieros, whose name was not called in a long time, complained to Hoya.

"Hey, can't I call you a little more often? Isn't the number of calls too salty?"

"Uh... Okay."

Hieros was happy with Hoya's answer and smiled brightly.

"It's a promise? But why did you call me today?"

"Help me hunt the monsters."

"Okay. Let's go, nigger!"

"Kang!"

Badu was dissatisfied with the name of Hieros.

[Status: Dissatisfied with calling yourself a nigger. He claims to have a name for himself, Badu. Growth is still low, so it is not showing most of its original strength.]

"Yeah, okay, okay. Let's go, Baduya!"

"Oh."

When Hieros felt dissatisfied with Badu and changed his name, Badu cried out loud as if he was in a good mood.

Badu ran vigorously, and Hieros flew close to the top of Badu, causing abnormal status to the monsters.

[Hieros inflicts 'paralysis' with abnormal status on enemies.]

[Hieros causes 'fear' in enemies with abnormal status.]

[Hieros causes 'sleep' in enemies with abnormal status.]

⋮

[Baduga uses the skill 'Giantization'.]

[Baduga uses the skill 'Blaze Step'.]

At the same time, as Badu increased his body size by using the giant statue, Hieros rode on Badu's back.

Badu, with Hieros on his back, blazed through the monsters while engraving flames on the ground.

Burning the ground was not enough, so the combination of the two walking to the abnormal state was nothing short of a disaster for the monsters.

Badu's fire engulfs monsters that are unable to move or become dull due to Hieros' status.

"Baduya, faster!"

"Kreuk!"

Hoya left the two of them moving separately, found the most dangerous place, where the monsters were, and moved there.

As long as Badu and Hieros roamed around like that, it didn't seem like that place would be pushed.

And, as an added bonus, there were no players who wanted to jump into the place where the two of them were walking, so Hoya's personal monster hunting numbers were rapidly rising.

Who dared jump into that fire?

"What is that?"

"I saw that boy in the video! That's the kid Hoya-nim is carrying!"

"Huh? Really?! Then Hoya-sama is nearby?! Where?"

"Hoya, we have to break through somewhere else quickly! If we go on like this, our contribution will hit the bottom!"

Doban smashed the monsters, and Hieros and Badu scatter flames.With the addition of Hoya, the situation at the south gate was much easier compared to other gates.

Although the risk was lowered that much, it also meant that the number of monsters that could be hunted was not that many compared to other gates.

"Hey, don't do this here, let's move to another door. That'd be better."

"Yeah, you're right."

Some players in the South Gate crossed the city and headed for another gate.

Since the number was quite large, some players or NPCs who had not yet left Izbaront due to their late arrival and regrets were struck by those who suddenly moved.

"Oh, sorry!"

"......"

-.......

Dino was one of those hit by the moving players.

He was on the road to get out of the alley and head to the royal tomb because he thought it would be okay now.

And before he did that, he tried to smash the essence of Magi.

The guards protecting the royal tomb had long been called out to defend the castle gate, and the voice confirmed the effect, so he told Dino to destroy the essence of Magi.

However, an unexpected situation occurred and the essence of Magi in Dino's hand fell to the floor.

The essence of Magi that fell to the floor was mixed between the feet of the moving players.

The thing the voice emphasized that it must be broken.

-Uh, come on, find it! Quickly!

The voice was heart-wrenching.

No, it shouldn't be left here!

If it were left here, no matter how long it took or what form it was made known, the story would enter the witch's ears.

That was something that should never have happened.

Contrary to his urgent voice, Dino was quite relaxed.

After all, he had achieved what he wanted by using the essence of Magi, so it was no longer important to him.

And even if you don't act in a hurry, you can recover enough.

Once an item is determined to be owned by the player, even if it moves away from the owner, it is automatically returned to the inventory unless the ownership is completely transferred due to a transaction or in very special cases.

"It's okay if you don't have to be in a hurry. Kwok, now that I see you, you're pretty small, don't you?"

- Whoa...

As all the players passed by, the essence of Magi was found scattered in the middle of the roadside.

"Did you see it?"

-.......

The voice did not respond to Dino's words.

Thought it would be retrieved into the inventory, but Dino saw that it had not gone as far as he had expected and approached it leisurely to pick it up.

at that time.

"Kee-e-eek-!"

A single Earthwing flew straight to the essence of Magi, grabbed it with its beak and swallowed it.

"Uh... uh...?"

Monsters cannot enter cities or towns by default.

However, Earth Swing invaded the city, apparently because of the quest that occurred now.

'Well, wait a minute... what would happen in this case?'

While Dino was panicking, Earthwing, which swallowed the essence of magic, flew up and disappeared.

Dino, staring blankly at Earthwing, which had already flew far enough to be seen as a dot, quickly opened his inventory.

"......does not exist."

-what?

The essence of Magi was not returned to the inventory.

No, why the hell?!

Dino's anger, which had been pounding in his head at the sudden situation, subsided in an instant.

'Wait, you don't need me anymore, do you?'

I'm sorry for the voice, but he had already made a profit, and he had no intention of destroying it while trying to get it back.

I don't know why I had to break it, but even if I didn't break it, there was no damage to myself at all.

Dino immediately ran towards the underground royal tomb.

An urgent voice continued to be heard, but Dino ignored it.

Earthwing that swallowed the essence of magic.

Having obtained what it wanted, it flew swiftly into the sky to return straight to its territory.

The flying Earthwing's eyes were red and bloodshot, and an ominous energy was slowly flowing through the group that was slightly opened.

Earth Swing was changing its form little by little, little by little, at an inconspicuous speed.

His beak was getting sharper little by little, and his body was also getting bigger.

Perhaps this change would stop when all the essence of Magi was absorbed.

Since he hadn't absorbed the essence of Magi yet, his strength wasn't that strong either.

Uswing himself was aware of it, so he decided to hide his body until the change was over in his habitat.

When the change is over, all the monsters in this area will be under her sweet imagination.

"Kye-eek-!"

Something snatched Earth Swing, which was flying with all his might, thinking about his future.

"Kee, Kie, Kee..."

Earthwing groaned in pain that seemed to crush his entire body.

A huge hand that snatched up Earth Swing, which was flying at high speed, at once.

It was covered with red hairs.

Eyes met as he squeezed himself through the crevices of his red thick fingers, Erswing read his own death in the other's eyes.

quack.

Gigant Red Bear put Earthwing in his mouth and chewed it, and Earthwing became a light and disappeared.

At the same time, the essence of Magi, which had been absorbed by Earthwing, was transferred to Gigant Red Bear.

Numerous monsters aiming for the essence of Magi looked around at the energy felt from Gigant Red Bear, but they did not dare to attack.

Among the tainted monsters here, there were no monsters that could attack Gigant Red Bear.

The monsters that could not absorb the essence of magic poured their anger on the players for not getting what they wanted.

A player suddenly entered the gaze of Gigant Red Bear, who had achieved its purpose.

To be precise, the sword he was holding, not the player, caught Gigant Red Bear's eyes.

Gigantic Red Bear recognized immediately that it was a sword made from the bones of his own people.

Gigant Red Bear was determined to take revenge on the enemies of his people.

"Chur hoo!"

When the Gigant Red Bear howled, its fur that was bright red like a flame became a real flame and started to burn, and the Gigant Red Bear started running towards Hoya.

Whoo-!

Gigan Tread Bear swung his right arm hard at Hoya.

The embers that fell from the swaying right arm burned the surrounding land.

Quang!Gigant Red Bear's fire fist slammed into Hoya's place.

"Ugh! What are you doing! Without chasing after you!"

Gagon screamed as he watched Dino's actions appearing as a crystal ball.

He must have been hearing his own voice, but the sight of him ignoring him casually gave Gagon a fever.

It was thanks to him that he was able to enter the underground royal tomb!

Things weren't very good.

If the witch finds out that he's meddling in the land, he won't let them go.

The tragedy that happened 50 years ago came to mind in Gagon's mind.

He had to find the essence of Magi immediately.

But the human named Dino was no longer listening to him.

It was difficult for him to go out on his own to find the essence of Magi because of the barrier.

The image of this crystal ball and the essence of magic were released because it was possible to dig the path little by little so as not to be detected by the witch over time.

If you directly intervene in the current state or try to forcefully widen the road to recover the magic essence, a signal will be sent to the witch through the barrier.

No, if that magic essence remains, the story will one day enter the witch's ears.

"Damn it!"

It was a dilemma that neither I could do.

Gagon worked hard, squeezing his not-so-great head to solve the current situation.

It was an opportunity that I had only given to him because Hayden-sama understood his intentions now.

He did not have enough of failing, so if he brought damage, he did not have the face to see Mr. Hayden, who believed in him and created an opportunity himself.

"Go."

As Gagon was squeezing his hair hard, Luciel spoke to him.

"Heyden-sama has been asking you about your progress for a long time."

"Uh, what's going on...?"

"It's me, I don't know. How do I know what Hayden-sama's orders were only for you? Ummm, your face is a little weird, what's wrong?"

"Me, me, not at all! No problem at all! Rather, it's so smooth that it makes me yawn!"

"okay?"

lie.

Luciel thought so when he saw Gagon's face.

He has a bad head and he can't act.

He only thinks radically on such a subject and tries to put it into action again.

So, I guess I'll fall for this simple trap without any doubt.

Does Gagon know that the opportunity he was given was the road he had been headed towards death from the beginning?

"Yes! Tell Hayden that you can look forward to it!"

"okay."

Luciel answered Gagon indifferently, and went straight to Hayden and delivered Gagon's words.

"...It says so."

"Yeah, Gagon's failure and reaction to it went so well that I'm rather surprised."

"Because he's one-dimensional. He's easy to read behavior."

"right."

If that straight action hadn't gone in the wrong direction, I wouldn't have done anything like this......

Hayden let out a low sigh.
