Chapter 92: The Hunt (1)
Chapter 92: The Hunt (1)
For a week, Jun-woo worked hard to prepare for hunting by changing equipment and skills.
Kakan also had runes that increased equipment and other stats by Jun-woo in the item window.
At dawn, when all preparations were completed, a flying car came out of the back door of the Aegis Guild building.
The flying car flew out of Songpa at high speed.
It was Jun-woo who took the steering wheel of the car, and Leon and Golem Kakan were sitting crouching in the back seat.
Leon was also rather large, so the back seat looked cramped even for two people.
As he passed the mountains of Sokcho, he felt something approaching.
Jun-woo slowed down and waited for him.
When Walker showed up, Jun-woo stopped the car and put him in the passenger seat.
"welcome."
"There is someone new."
"My name is Kakan."
"It's dignified. How are you, Leon?"
"nice to meet you yo. this."
Walker smiled lightly and looked ahead.
"I think you should go this way first."
"Yeah."
The flying car crossed the East Sea.
It crossed the Bering Sea through the Sea of Okhotsk.
After a flight of about 20 hours, they arrived near the village of Wellen, in the easternmost part of Russia.
Wellen is the closest town to the United States and was the only port on the Chukchi Sea.
Residents gathered after the system was created, and about 500 people lived there, and at the gate on the right side of the village, the guild under Fabregas was in charge of gate defense.
The gate entrance was wide as if no one was using the gate.
As the flying car was parked nearby, two men, dressed in fur, walked out of the dwelling right in front of the gate entrance.
"It's a flying car."
"I heard it's tens of billions of gold. Who is it?"
Walker came out of the flying car's driver's seat and closed the door.
Said Walker in fluent Russian.
"you worked hard. My name is Walker from Fabregas."
When the two saw Walker's guild mark, they opened up their borders.
"welcome. What happened to this place ."
"I have something to investigate. Let's go right in."
"Oh, yes. Come in."
Walker got into the flying car, closed the car door, and passed through the gate.
A vast expanse of snow-covered land spread out in front of me.
"It's been a long time since I've been here."
"Have you ever been hunting?"
"It might be a little bit."
The flying car flew over the snowy ground for over three hours.
"Can you see the mountain over there?"
A vast snow mountain was visible over the horizon.
"Yeah."
"If you go over there, you will see a skeleton. Can I go back from this point?"
"of course. Thank you so much for guiding me this far."
"no. Because there was business on the Russian side. Probably no one comes here."
"Yes, there really is nothing. This place."
There were no monsters during the coming.
It was just an endless snow-covered land, but it was laid here.
Walker guided Jun-woo to this place without sleeping for 24 hours.
We had to fly two more hours to get over the snowy mountain, so it was unreasonable to ask for guidance from Walker any longer.
"Then be careful and hunt. I hope you get a good deal."
"Thank you, Mr. Walker."
"Then good luck to both of you."
Walker smiled lightly, pulled out the flying car, and boarded it.
The model was the same as Jun-woo.
With Jun-woo and Leon seeing off, Walker returned the way he had come.
Jun-woo and Leon got into the car again and flew towards the snowy mountain.
After two more hours of flying, we reached the snowy mountain.
As if there were no monsters here, the surroundings were peaceful except for the chill.
"Leon, let's sleep here."
"yes."
The two got out of the car, took out the item bedding they had brought, and laid it on the floor.
Each of us built a tent and went into it.
Leon lay on the pillow and looked at the smartphone for a while, then closed his eyes, and Jun-woo fell asleep while looking at the map that Walker gave him and documents containing various explanations.
As the day dawned, Jun-woo simply had breakfast and boarded the flying car again to cross the snowy mountain.
Thousands of skeletons were standing at regular intervals on the white ground in front of them as if the boundary had changed as they crossed the snowy mountain.
The place Jun-woo wanted to go was a position where he had to go inside for a long time while catching all those skeletons in front of him.
The deeper you went, the higher the level of the skeleton was, and this was the hunting ground.
Thousands of skeletons appear from the beginning, and the more you go in, the more powerful the skeletons are.
This was where the guild came to hunt as a group, but it was a hunting ground that had long been cut off due to frequent accidents due to the harsh climate and unexpected boss appearances.
Above all, it was an area where half a day was wasted just to get to the farthest from the gate.
The level of the skeletons here, which is the starting point, is about 60. It was a hunting ground where it was difficult to expect experience points to hunt for level 102 Jun-woo.
Still, since there was a skeleton wizard, you could expect a mana shield with a low probability.
"Are you ready? Leon."
"sure."
"Shall we go, Kakan?"
"What?"
The three went down the snowy mountain.
Jun-woo created two defense robots and four cannonball robots.
Then, he created two self-destructive robots and threw them at the attacking skeletons.
Pugh!
Aww!
The bones of the skeletons caught in the explosion rushed in all directions.
Leon ran to one side.
Dozens of skeletons were caught by the swords and flew away as they turned their bodies with their swords lightly toward the dozens of skeletons that were running towards them.
And when he stopped and shut it down, the skeleton couldn't stand it, and his shoulder was smashed.
Kwajik!
Kakan's blue eyes flashed, and he ran recklessly and hit the skeletons.
All the skeletons that touched Kagan's body flew away and rolled over on the floor.
Once the massive arms were swung, two or three flew away, and their bodies were cracked.
Crack!
Swoosh ting.
An arrow flew and collided with Kakan's body, and even if the skull's sword touched Kakan's body, no scratches were left on Kakan's body.
Not only Kakan but also Jun-woo and Leon could be hit by these guys' attacks.
No matter how large the number of skeletons, the number was meaningless if no attack penetrated their defense.
Of course, the durability of the defense could be reduced, but other than that, their attacks were useless.
The reason why a high-level person was able to massacre alone was because of his defense.
As the level goes up, the attack power, magic power, and defense power also go up by 1.
Pugh!
bumpy-
In addition, the item's quality was also higher than unique, and this was a hunting ground with a level too low for them to hunt.
Bang bang!
Squash!
The bone fragments of the skeletons that had begun to crumble were piled up with white snow.
The three of them went inside more and more.
Skeletons surrounded them, but after a while, the skeletons that approached were scattered on the floor in fragments of bones, just like other skeletons.
Crack!
Crack!
The sound of breaking bones could be heard constantly.
And the three constantly went into the depths.
After breaking the skeletons for about two hours, Jun-woo saw a book that came out after holding the wizard, so he hurriedly ran and grabbed it.
[Lv.1 Mana Shield][Bound]
-Rank: Epic+
-Active: When activated, 90% of damage taken is consumed as mana instead of life. While Mana Shield is on, you gain 1 Armor. [Consumed 1 mana per second] [Cooldown: 15 seconds]
"Five ."
To obtain the skill book, Jun-woo set foot on Russian soil, which is said to have the most skeletons.
Jun-woo thought that the estimated time to obtain the desired Epic+ grade binding skill book would be a minimum of one month and six months.
But in just two hours, he got what he wanted.
Jun-woo, who has an abnormally high mana recovery, did not hesitate to erase one skill book skill and learned a mana shield.
When he activated the skill he learned, he felt reassured.
Then, Jun-woo raised the level of Mana Shield directly by using gold.
Epic-level skills accumulated 500 million gold for each level up.
Considering that the legend level accumulates by 40 billion gold, 500 million was a cute level.
[The level of Mana Shield has risen.]
[The level of Mana Shield has risen.]
[The level of Mana Shield has risen.]
.
.
.
By consuming 22.5 billion gold, Jun-woo raised the mana shield level to 10 at once.
[Lv.12 Mana Shield][Bound]
-Rank: Epic+
-Active: When activated, 90% of damage taken is consumed as mana instead of life. Increases armor by 6 while mana shield is on. [Consumed 1 mana per second] [Cooldown: 15 seconds]
There was no effect other than increasing the defense by 1 every 2 levels, but that alone was satisfactory.
Even so, except for the magic of the Skeleton Mage, the health would not be reduced, and it would be even less likely that the life force would be worn out.
"haha ."
A pleasant smile flowed from Jun-woo's mouth.
You've accomplished one of two goals and only need to do one more.
[10%/100%]
100% of the hunting gauge required by the quest. Jun-woo guessed that it would take about two weeks.
With a smile on his face, Jun-woo opened fire at the skeleton.
Pang, Pang, Pang!
Helplessly, the skeletons died.
The hunt continued until the sun went down, and he had to find a place where no monsters appeared, so Jun-woo went inside.
A humanoid golem took the steering wheel of the flying car, and the three of them moved forward, protecting it.
Jun-woo built a tent in a frozen valley where skeletons do not appear.
It felt chilly rather than cold, but Jun-woo made a bonfire and put firewood in it.
Leon came out with a smartphone and an auxiliary battery in the flying car and connected them to turn on the smartphone.
"Do you want to read a book?"
"yes."
Jun-woo could hear Leon's enthusiasm for learning coming from Jeong Hye-Yeon, who was in charge of education.
Hyeyeon Jeong said, perhaps, that Eumeria, who was educated with her, is good at learning and is trying to catch up.
"Take it easy, Leon."
"yes."
Jun-woo picked up a piece of skewer that had been grilled over a bonfire.
"Want some?"
"no."
"yes ."
Leon didn't have to eat, so Jun-woo simply made dinner alone.
"If you have any questions, you can ask, Leon."
"I'll ask if it happens. Can I come in?"
"yes. Go in and rest."
"Brother."
Leon, who entered the tent, lay on the floor and looked at his smartphone.
Jun-woo looked around and gave orders to Kakan.
Kakan, if a skeleton is approaching, deal with it.'
"What?"
Jun-woo also went into the tent, turned on the light, and organized the day.
On the first day of hunting, he felt satisfied because he felt like he had accomplished something he could not have achieved.
He doesn't know what more he can get, but it seems that the mana shield also has a unique grade, so Jun-woo decided to try a little more greedy.
The lights went out in both tents, and Kakan helped them get a good night's sleep, handling the skeletons that approached through the night.
The moon went down, and the sun rose again.
After waking up, Jun-woo took them back and went deeper.
