1st Place In The Ranking Is A Villager

1st place in the ranking is the villager

- Volume 4 Episode 2

2. A voice of fascination (3)

As soon as Arena's Pacsim Ice found her red flesh on the back of her Natalie's hand, she recited her skill name slightly and cast her skills on her.

The skill, named 'Stigma of Tracking', once cast on an opponent, allows you to visually find the position of the opponent marked with the stigma for the duration.

What this means is that even if you hide yourself in the bushes, or even if you hide yourself in a closet because it is not enough to enter a building, the point that penetrates everything that is covering the object and emits a red light tells the location of the object.

Although invisible to others, Pacsim Ice saw a single red dot shining through the building.

It is not known exactly whether it is inside the building or the alleyway beyond the building, but only the direction is perfectly known.

After hearing the explanation, Seol Baek-ho and the Royal Knights moved together with the Arena to capture the magic.

Arena was terrifying, but for now, her priority was to catch a magic bridge.

Arena pinpointed her location to see if she was trying to make up for their mistake, and she worked hard.

They were able to find Natalie after moving by relying on Pacsim Ice's skill.

And as soon as I found Natalie, the skill's duration ended in a timely manner.

"Wow, it was close."

Her clothes were different from before, and she couldn't see her face, but the red light that had just disappeared from her was telling her that she was Natalie.

They didn't immediately approach Natalie as soon as they found her.

Instead, he prepared a skill that caused stun and paralysis by quietly exchanging signals with hand gestures.

The place where Natalie is currently is a very narrow alley, and if you use one of the attack skills incorrectly, the damage to the surrounding buildings will be great.

In order to reduce the damage as much as possible, first block the movement and then use the attack skill.

They hid behind the building and on the roof, silently using their skills to shoot at Natalie.

But none of that reached Natalie.

"Chicken!"

"Cheeky!"

Numerous rats protruding from alleyways, sewer holes, and crevices of buildings became Natalie's shield and received all her skills instead.

The aftermath of the skills was also blocked by the man who appeared behind her as if to protect Natalie at some point.

"...that person is a member of the Royal Knights."

Eriman, who was hiding behind the building, said.

Looking at her condition, it seemed that she was still fascinated.

"Hey, can't you just send me some?"

Natalie spoke in a charming voice.

In a situation where the location had already been discovered by the previous attack, in fact, Natalie knew of their existence before using her skill.

That's why she had attracted the rat in advance."Let's not bother with work, okay?"

Natalie had offered a peaceful method on her part, but they had no intention of doing so.

I was thinking of catching her to her somehow.

Hiding behind the building and on the roof, they rushed to Natalie, drinking a potion that had the effect of completely protecting against status ailments for a very short time, which they had brought as a countermeasure for charm.

[Natalie's irresistible charm seduces you.]

[The status abnormality is 'Fascinated'.]

[You have resisted 'Fascination' with status abnormalities.]

Natalie had been enticing them with his bizarre voice, but the potion's effect made her resist.

As he was expensive, he was making a huge difference.

However, the duration of the effect was very short, so he had to make a decision quickly.

"Shit."

Natalie, who licked her tongue at their actions, changed the target of her fascination.

"---!"

Her voice, close to Natalie's sonic wave, revolved around her and spread widely.

It was right after that.

"Ahhhhhh!"

"What! Why are you here!"

People's screams began to reverberate all over the city.

[Quest 'Confusion' has occurred.]

[The quest 'Evacuation Induction' has occurred.]

"If you ask me to send it like that, wouldn't it be okay if I just send it to you?"

A system message came to mind that a quest had occurred, and Natalie smiled at the screams coming from around her.

The content of the quest that occurred was that people who suddenly became strange started attacking the surroundings indiscriminately, so to stop and suppress them from spreading and restore them to their original state, and to help the evacuation of healthy people.

This quest occurred to all players in the northeast of Izbaront.

They were quick to judge the situation as they were trying to subdue Natalie.

I immediately realized that the cause of this quest was Natalie.

The status ailment does not disappear even if the caster is dealt with.

Dealing with Natalie didn't immediately quell her confusion, and she couldn't handle her because she needed to capture her in the first place.

People started screaming more and more.

In order to calm the current chaos, it was necessary to run around and use skills or items on those who became strange and fascinated.

It took a lot of people to do that, and if there were a lot of people missing, there was a high chance that Natalie would be missed.

[Hoya: I will go by myself.]

As they were contemplating what to do, Hoya sent a whisper to Bekseol.

Hoya has Hieros.

It would be better for Hoya to move with Hieros alone rather than rushing away from the current situation.

And the other players, without knowing the cause, would be moving along the quest for a reward.

...To be honest, I also wanted to get out of this place.

Hoya didn't listen to Snow White's answer and immediately started moving with Hieros.

As he thought, there were many players on the street to subdue those who were fascinated and to help those in good health escape.

"Please."

"okay!"

As Hieros flew through the sky, sometimes he spoke words, and sometimes swung the night sky, he began to dispel the fascination of players and NPCs.

Hoya helped those whom Hieros had disenchanted by using a heal or handing them potions one by one.

A person in the alley was caught by Hoya's gaze, who was running over the building to move quickly.

Her face, with a fairly large wound, was a face Hoya knew well.

"Papis!"

"Ho, Hoya-san?"

Come to think of it, there was a Poppy's general store nearby.

Hoya immediately approached Papys, put her heels on her and handed her a potion, which made her condition better, and the expression on her expression softened slightly.

"Thank you for your help."

"It'll be fine soon, but it'd be better for Poppies to evacuate as soon as possible."

"...I guess so."

With her slightly gloomy expression on her face, Papis agreed to Hoya's words.

Hoya handed her over to the player who was helping her evacuate, then roamed her streets with Hieros again.

Thanks to Hieros's virtue, the confusion caused by the fascination quickly subsided, and a whisper arrived from Snow White that Natalie had been arrested.

In the end, though, some buildings were blown away.

It is said that the infant helped a lot in the process of arresting Natalie.

Hoya thought that his skill would have been of great help, although his use was very limited.

Natalie, who was suppressed at the cost of great damage, was filled with restraints and first moved to the dungeon.

Arya's face was very serious.

It wasn't the serious face she had made to show people, but the seriousness of her heart.

The reason she had such a face was because of a report she had just received.

Her report that she had been found and imprisoned in Iz Baront informed her of the seriousness of her affair.I thought I was chasing an illusion, but it was not.

There were already voices calling for investigation and explanation of the cause of the commotion from the royal family of Ruzeros, the horse tower, and the central shrine.

Thanks to Hoya and Hieros, the situation did not get bigger and only the northeast area suffered damage, and the suppression was early.

However, no one can deny that the entire city would have suffered damage if not done.

If the cause of such a commotion is kept secret without telling people, their anxiety and confusion will only increase.

"... Already, people's attention has been focused on this commotion, and reporting the facts will reduce their confusion."

In such a situation, it was contradictory to hide facts to prevent confusion.

Whichever option you choose, let us know in case there is any confusion.

Arya, who had been praying her prayers in her chapel, decided to do so, and a warm, warm beam of light came from her window, like her mother's arms, and enveloped her.

-What they want to have is an illusion that can't be achieved because it's changed.

And with the light, Eve's voice echoed in her head.

-A history that repeats itself in the process. Don't be afraid to borrow the power of those who never existed.

"...I see, Eve-sama."

At the sound of her Eve's voice resounding in her head, Arya prayed for a long time in a reverent position on the spot.

The very next day, the facts of the confusion were revealed to the public.

The magic found in Izbaront's monster wave, based on it, secretly conducted a search for the magic cult, and as a result, it was possible to capture a figure who seemed to be an important figure of the magyo in return for great damage.

The central temple and the announcement of the royal family of Ruzeros made it known to everyone.

And at the same time, a magical search quest for all players was created.

In order to receive the quest, he had to visit the temple in the city and tell him that he wanted to help the search.

At first glance, it was a simple quest to find those with the red flesh on the back of the hand.

However, in the process, NPCs should not be suppressed or used violence.

If it is judged that you have acted unreasonably, the quest will be automatically treated as a failure and you will not be able to receive the magical search quest again.

It was a repeatable quest where you could complete the quest and receive the quest again if you found even one person at the end of the magic bridge.

Of course, the rewards vary depending on how much you contribute and complete the quest.

If you want large and small rewards, you can complete them at a time later, if you want small and large rewards, you can complete them each time.

Therefore, the penalty of not being able to receive the quest again was very large.

Although the quest was a bit limited, the intention to cooperate with the adventurers was spreading among the NPCs, so members of the magic religion were being discovered here and there.

The difference between when some of the three guilds moved and when the entire player moved was very large.

However, as the days passed, all the members of the magic religion that were being discovered were extremists.

Even after hearing the information leaking from the mouths of the captured believers and going to their hideout, no one had any information about the already vacant houses and executives.

The only thing I could find out about the executives was that there were a total of six executives.

The information was also written in the documents kept in the central temple.

In the end, it was necessary to open Natalie's mouth in order to completely uproot the demon, but she was not open to any important information.
