Apocalypse’s All-Rounder Mischief

Weakness equals strength (1)

Alliance with Orc Commander Jung Eun-ji!

It was an urgent situation, so I asked for an alliance endlessly.

Junyoung never expected that she would accept her alliance without any conditions.

“Things are going very well. As long as the alliance is established, the Orcs will dispatch reinforcements immediately if the territory is attacked.”

Reinforcement!

It's kind of a solid word.

『For that reason, goblins as well as slimes will be cautious when attacking this place.』

“But it is unusual. No matter how favorable the orcs are to humans, even so, they have a lot of calculations.”

Junyoung had a point.

Of course, this is because the orc commander Jung Eun-ji is not a native orc that originally existed in this world.

Even Heros, who prides himself on being the strongest of ancient knowledge, will not be able to understand this part.

In other words, Eunji Jung has just become an Orc.

Just a day ago, she was a human like Junyoung.

Also Korean.

So maybe it was accepted without conditions?

Unlike Kwak Sang-cheol, who lost his personality after becoming a goblin, Jung Eun-ji has an orc body but still retains his personality.

'However.'

I don't quite understand it either.

To be honest, how many people in this dangerous world can help me without any conditions?

It is unknown.

Orc god Tidway may have given instructions to form an alliance.

Or maybe he has some other plan.

Still, I plan to repay you for today's favor.

“But are the orcs so calculating?”

“They seem dull and bad-headed, but in reality they are very good with fine hair. Now that you know that you are in a great crisis, of course it is normal to have to put up some conditions.”

“It must have been difficult if the conditions were to serve the orc gods.”

If you ask for such a thing, of course you give up the alliance.

“They don’t put conditions such as they have to do something extremely. Because we know that there are many sub-optimal conditions. For example, coins, food, or various equipment and tools.”

“I really like that aspect. It’s also practical.”

『Since ancient times, Orcs have generally been able to communicate well. Once they get to know each other, they don't betray easily and even risk their lives for loyalty, but it's not easy to do this from the start."

“Maybe it’s because of the orc god Tidway.”

Junyoung told Heros that Tidway had visited.

It is also said that the elven god Celes had appeared.

“This is a pretty bad situation.”

In an instant, Heros' voice subsided.

『Is it really Seles, the god of elves? Then, no matter how much he made alliances with the orcs, it is not easy for you to defend this place.”

Junyoung nodded.

“It’s strange that the elves are especially quiet. As expected, it is normal for them to declare war first.”

『That is because the territory where the elves are located is not adjacent and it is quite far from here. It’s a thousand-dollar thing.”

Come to think of it, the elf commander did not appear on the list of the closest 5 commanders.

“And another variable is the Lizardmen.”

Lizardman Commander Tugal (★★)

He's probably the most powerful guy with two stars.

He's one of the five adjacent commanders.

He is under a god of evil tendencies, so of course he is very likely to attack soon.

『Since ancient times, Orcs and Lizardmen did not get along very well. In other words, as long as there are Lizardmen, Orcs may not be able to vacate the territory easily.

“Anyway, can you wait a moment? Based on the current situation, I will devise the best strategy for you to protect this estate. It will probably take about 10 minutes.”

"okay."

10 minutes.

Even though Heros is proud to be the strongest among ancient knowledge, can he come up with a countermeasure?

I'm honestly skeptical.

The situation right now is really on a paragon.

Considering not only the elves but also the lizardmen, even if the orcs joined as an alliance, it was not enough.

“Eon!”

Soft hair rubs cheeks.

A warm body temperature is also felt.

A big-faced cat was rubbing Junyoung's cheeks with his fur.

And of course

“Eon!”

Seeing her green eyes twinkle and cry cutely, it seems like she wants to be petted.'The fairy!'

In the midst of this, you're in dog-cat mode!

Enemies are coming from all sides soon. Do you want to be nice to them?

Still, Junyoung hugged him with both arms and stroked it.

Garreunggarreung!

He sang a happy song and put down two boxes in front of Junyoung.

In addition, blue potions and red potions were also released in piles.

[Magic Equipment Box]

[Magic Power Box]

[14 bottles of the lowest mana recovery potion]

[12 Bottles of Minor Life Recovery Potion]

Boxes are items dropped by magical zombies earlier.

Potions are items dropped by zombies one by one in the inventory and then released.

"Meow!"

What I brought today is a reward!

Add to the battle!

Is it an illusion that the meow sounds like this?

His eyes twinkled as if he gave it to him with a big heart.

Junyoung smiled.

“Thank you, Andy.”

We'll have to wait 10 minutes anyway, so let's open the box in the meantime.

If good equipment or skills come out, it will be helpful in today's battle in some way.

First, the equipment.

[Opens the magical equipment box.]

[You have obtained a magical mace.]

The box was the size of the palm of your hand.

As soon as the lid was opened, the box disappeared and a weapon shaped like a club made of iron appeared.

The iron rod that I only heard of!

It looks really ignorant.

It looks like it's about 80cm in length, but how did it get in that little box?

Common sense is incomprehensible, but when you think of the concept of subspace, it's not a big deal.

[Mae of Magic]

-Class: Rare

-Description: A mace imbued with magical energy. Inflicts magical damage in addition to physical attack power.

- Durability 100/100

-Equipment restrictions: blunt warrior type

-[Can be equipped specially] Strength 5, Dexterity 3, Magic Power 10

'Oh oh!'

As you might have guessed from the name, it is a weapon imbued with magical energy just like a magical flamethrower.

A melee weapon, the mace!

Unfortunately, you have to have a blunt warrior class to equip it.

‘There is such a thing as special equipment.’

Looking at the conditions, Junyoung was also able.

【Stat】

Strength 6 (+1)

4 health (+4)

Agility 2 (+1)

Magic 14 (+1)

Dexterity 14 (+1)

His agility was close to 3, but he passed the cut-off nonetheless.

‘But what exactly is a special mount?’

When I touched the relevant part of the description window with my hand, a related notification appeared.

[Special equip means that even if you do not meet the job requirements of the equipment, you can equip it if you meet the special conditions.]

[However, in the case of special equipment, only 50% of the equipment performance is applied.]

This means that even if you are not a warrior, you can equip this mace.

However, the power is half.

‘There is a penalty. I'm sorry, but where is even half of it?'

It can be said that it is very useful for Junyoung, who does not have a proper melee weapon.

In particular, he has a buff that can give this weapon wings.

Strengthen melee attack power (Lv1)

The mace is a striking weapon, so it's perfect.

Thanks to this, the penalty of special equipping will be significantly offset.

[The Magic Mace has been specially equipped.]

A notification you hear the moment you hold the mace in your hand.

[Because of your high dexterity stats, the penalty for special equipping is not applied.]

'what?'

The dexterity of the hand also demonstrated deceptive power.

A whopping 15 dexterity stats!

Thanks to this, Junyoung can wield this weapon like a class-specific weapon even though he's not a blunt warrior.

'Okay. In the future, those who do not work with magical flames, let's deal with this.'

If you put it in this space, it will be very convenient because you can replace it with the flamethrower at any time.

[The magical mace has been stored in the subspace inventory.]

The inventory had increased to 10, so there was plenty of room.

Healing potions are also stacked on one square, so there is no pressure to enter without limit.

[Opens the magical ability box.]

[You have obtained the 「Beginner Blunt Skill Ability」.]

This time it was a skill book.

[Beginner Blunt Skill Competency Book]

-Description: Automatically acquires the basics of blunt skills. If you learn it, you can effectively attack and defend with a blunt weapon.

-【Acquisition Cost】50 Coins

‘By the way, it was equipment and set items.’

You absolutely must learn this.

It is a very valuable skill for Junyoung, who is unemployed and jobless.

[Consumes 50 coins.]

[You have learned 「Beginner Blunt Technique」.]

[Your blunt attack power is increased by 1.

[Beginner Blunt Skill (Lv1)]

-Description: The basic ability of blunt combat techniques. The more you kill an enemy with a blunt weapon in battle, the more your blunt skill proficiency increases.

-Additional effect: blunt attack power +1

The moment the ability was acquired, the attack power increased by 1.

That's just an additional effect.

The real thing is different.

It felt like I was very familiar with the blunt technique, as if I had been honing my blunt technique for a while.

'····················ogue ''!

Various movements that come to mind like inspiration.

It is not a momentary delusion.

The ability is created and the blunt skill is automatically embodied.

If you hold a weapon such as a magical mace in your hand, you will actually use your power in battle.

‘This is a real skill.’

Having a weapon to prepare for hand-to-hand combat in the event of a melee is somewhat reassuring.

“I have one question for you. No, it must be strange.”

Heros was silent for a while.

“What do you mean strange?”

“At the moment, I can only see your outline information. A level 5 commander with fame ★, and the degree of being a captain of fifty. Also, there is no God who subordinates you.”

“But that’s it. Other than that, I cannot see the detailed status window.”

“Is that weird?”

"Of course. Your subordinates who are lying there in forced sleep are able to grasp detailed stats, information on abilities, and even proficiency, but strangely, you and the cat's detailed status window are not visible either.

After all, it's not the first time I've heard it.

Because the goblin god Tikkin was also angry that he couldn't see Junyoung's status window.

“I don’t know why. It was just like this from the beginning.”

"Right. I was just guessing.”

“Are you guessing?”

“There’s no way you should know something that even I, the strongest intellectual in ancient times, doesn’t know.”

Also, he is obsessed with self-congratulations.

However, seeing Heros's excited voice, it seems as if he had prepared something for it.

“Did you come up with a trick or something?”

“There is no such thing as a secret book. I just thought of the method that best suits your situation. You are absolutely inferior to your enemies, but in reality you have a very amazing strength.”

“A strong point?”

“Unfortunately, you don’t have a god who will protect you and your subordinates. That's a weakness, but it's also a strength. There is no need to protect the totem and the altar.”

“That’s it, though. Can you even call that a strength?”

"Of course. Think about it. The enemies have something to protect, but you have nothing to protect, so what are you afraid of?

For a moment, Junyoung felt like his brain was clearing.

“Seeing that, I see. There is no need for me to try to keep this place.”When enemies come, you have to bounce.

There is no need to crouch here and be surrounded.

You should set up a hideout somewhere in a safe place.

“No, there is one thing you can protect.”

“What is it?”

“It’s me.”

"it's you?"

Junyoung made a bewildered expression at the unexpected answer.

"Of course. As I have said over and over again, I, Heros, are the most powerful and supreme beings of ancient knowledge.”

『However, if the Tower of Knowledge is occupied by an external attack, I will fall asleep again. And you never know when you'll wake up again. If there is another coincidence that coincides with coincidence, I don't know if there is any chance of meeting you again.”

He speaks verbosely, but in the end it seems to mean that he wants to protect himself.

Junyoung sighed heavily.

“Then my strength of not having to keep something disappears. I'll have to go back and think about it."

“It is not. All you have to do is leave your men lying there here. If you entrust me with the command to lead them, I will try to take the time so that this tower is not occupied as much as possible.”

“What’s the point of taking time?”

『According to the measurement of your abilities through the Guardians of the Tower of Knowledge, your combat power is quite excellent. Especially with that cat, it truly exerts more than a dozen powers.”

I admit that.

It's not the first time I've teamed up with And and defeated a formidable enemy.

sssss.

At that time, Heros, who was in the form of a halo, was transformed into a huge three-dimensional map again.

『When the protection period is lifted after a while, goblins will immediately attack the area marked with the red arrow, and slimes will immediately attack the area marked with the blue arrow.』

"Right."

When you listen to the explanation along with the three-dimensional map, you can see the surrounding terrain as well as the enemy's power situation well in your mind.

『You and Andrew are hiding in the northern gray point, and after confirming that the enemies are coming to this territory, enter the territory of the Hobgoblin Urta and destroy the totem and the altar first. Originally, it was a mission that was close to impossible, but since I said that the curse of God does not work for you, I think there is a sufficient chance of winning.”

“··········!”

Right.

There was such a way.

That's quite possible.

Andy will find out where the totem is.

You don't have to worry about the curse that is triggered when the totem is destroyed.

『If you want to ask for your understanding, the hideout building you are staying in may turn into ruins.』

“I am prepared for that.”

I can't help it.

It is greed to want the hideout to be okay in this situation.

“But can they really protect this tower alone?”

It seems impossible to protect this tower with four Level 3 Awoken.

“As soon as you and Andre leave, we will cover up this place so that it cannot be easily found. Even so, we will eventually find it, but we will hold out until the Orc reinforcements arrive as much as possible.”

“Everything is a game of time. If you destroy the totems of the enemy territory at a very high speed and destroy the altar of the gods, you can win this war not only to protect this tower.」

"great! I’ll try!”

There is no other way anyway.

Junyoung immediately exited the Tower of Knowledge with Andrew.

Then he moved to the point that Heros had pointed out.

I had to pass a convenience store building on the way.

‘We still have some time left, so let’s look over there.’

However, the convenience store was different from what it looked like from the outside.

Since it was a building that became a fortress for goblins, the internal structure was completely different.

Even when they withdrew, they turned into ruins.

Fortunately, in one corner, I was able to find items that could only be found in a convenience store warehouse.

Found 3 insect killers!

In addition, one stick-type snack for cats! Johann And found it.

“Nyaaan!”

The guy was delighted and did some backflips.

But was that something sold at a convenience store?

Anyway, the important thing.

‘It’s called Deuktem.’

There were many other items, but now is not the time to stock them.

“Let’s go, Andy.”

“Nyan!”

Junyoung immediately moved to his target location.

And a notification after a while.

[The protection period has been canceled.]

At the same time, as if waiting, one side of the forest shook in the distance, and monsters appeared in hordes.
