Chapter 62 - The soldiers who arrived late
Sungwoo lifted his index finger and pointed to the “Suwon Culture and Tourism Map” on the wall of the conference room.
“Please organize a hunting team with the healthy people among the people, who have combat-related jobs. After that, try to target the low-level monsters nearby.”
“In other words, you want me to secure safety near this place by attacking them?”
Sungwoo shook his head at his question, “The purpose of your attack is to secure gold and the troops. I would like you to create a security guard here even when I am not here. Can I leave this work to you, Kyungsoo?”
With his eyes gleaming, Kyungsoo said with a nod, “Sure! Let me do my best.”
At first, Kyongsu couldn’t do anything while trapped at the shuttle bus stop, but now he was different. He could confront the monsters.
When he heard Sungwoo’s plan, Hanho asked, “Ah, you’re creating a village within the game?”
“Village…”
The ground shook hard when they charged toward the three like a herd of water buffalo moving across the African grasslands. And a huge cloud of sand arose around them.
Poooooooh!
However, the orcs’ threatening posture was overshadowed by the appearance of black smoke. The black smoke from somewhere blocked their vision right before colliding with the three human fighters.
The orcs breathed in the strange smoke, feeling their bodies being crushed little by little from within. Needless to say, they did so because of the influence of the curse. The moment their concentration was disturbed, white arms popped out of the black smoke.
Sharp nails grabbed one of the orc’s neck and twisted it as if turning a doorknob. The orc’s thick neck broke, and his body drooped.
Then, a Werebear skeleton popped out of the smoke. He literally squeezed into the middle of the orcs’ group like a bear and swung his huge paws.
Right behind him, Orun swung the knife in all directions after putting his legs through the bones.
When the Werebear skeleton struck them, the orcs fell helplessly one by one.
Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!
The orcs began to surround the Werebear skeleton and attack him with the axes.
However, the Werebear skeleton looked like an armored tank because of its large build covered with strong bone armor.
The armor on the sides of the Werebear skeleton fell off when its durability ran out.
Noticing it, Sungwoo once again used the ‘Bone Armor Production’ skill.
Bones sprang from the orc corpses scattered on the ground and began to attach to the Werebear skeleton’s body.
Chin! Chin! Chin!
The Werebear skeleton was a great monster of great skill, able to confront one hundred enemies at once. That wasn’t an exaggeration. In a moment, it speared over twenty orc heads.
However, it was outnumbered by the orcs. They avoided beast skeletons like Werebear that they could not rival, then dispersed to the left and right to attack the three in the rear, but Sungwoo and his two friends were far from their easy targets.
Pik! Pik! Pik! Pik!
Sungwoo fired the newly acquired item, the Dwarf Lifting Crossbow, in succession.
His attack didn’t cause any big damage. He could fire about 40 arrows per minute, so those orcs charging from the left side collapsed.
On his right were Hanho and Jisu.
“Shoot at the middle of the forehead whenever you see an orc!” Sungwoo shouted.
Sungwoo threw a dagger at the orc charging toward him, which rotated in a parabolic line and hit the orc’s forehead dozens of meters away.
“Look! I told you, man!”
Then, a light protective shield appeared around Hanho’s body. He obtained a sacred shield for 10 seconds when he killed his opponent.
Bang!
At that moment, an ax thrown by an orc bounced away from Hanho’s body.
Jisu confronted three orcs at the same time. This time she didn’t attack them recklessly because she was outnumbered.
She crisscrossed among them, guided by her ‘exquisite sense’ skill.
Whenever she swung her sword, the orcs’ stomachs were torn and their tendons were broken. Large orcs piled up one by one when she fought her way through them.
That wasn’t the end.
Zombies were approaching behind the Orcs this time. Besides, even those zombies were firmly armed with bone armor.
The orcs began to fall helplessly, surrounded by the enemies who were far fewer than themselves.
The corpses of their fellows began to accumulate under the orcs’ feet.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
With the corpses swelling, there began corpse explosions with the AoE damage. Numerous orcs, caught in the explosion, bounced in all directions without even swinging their axes.
-You earned 160 gold by hunting Orcs.
-You earned 160 gold by hunting Orcs.
-You earned 160 gold by hunting Orcs.
Even after the explosions ended, these kinds of messages kept coming.
It was a huge drive hunt that devoured a total of 112 at the Orc Village instantly.
“Wow! We hit the jackpot!”
“Of course, Sungwoo killed most of the orcs. But I think I scored a lot, compared with my first time hunting,” Jisu said.
“Sungwoo, look over there. It looks like the school has a store? Uh? No?”
There was a gold icon floating on the first floor of the school building where Hanho pointed, but it was an icon that they had never seen before.
“If it’s a hammer shape, is it a blacksmith?”
“Let’s go there first.”
They headed there. They opened the glass door of the school, then opened the doors of the three classrooms on the first floor.
“What is that?”
There was a gold table in the center. It was made of metal and old-fashioned. At first glance it was a workbench that one could see in a workshop.
Sungwoo approached it. Then, a complex message appeared before his eyes.
[Item production/combination]
-There are items that you can produce.
- Sea Spirit’s Tears (Material) + Devil’s Bloodstone (Material) + Elder Slime’s Core (Medium) = ???
* Required money: 100,000 gold
‘Can legendary grade items be combined with each other?’
Then, how great of an item will be made?
