Chapter 277: End of Despena

Chapter 277: End of Despena

I've been waiting for this day for a long time.

After the test, I ate lunch and dinner, studied for the test, and then logged into the game. Because todays long Despena period is over!

"Let's go on an adventure!"

Ooh!!

The end of the Despena period is currently driving me crazy. The test ends tomorrow. So why don't I just play!? I've put up with so many adventures! I'm at my limit!

In case you're wondering, after the duel event, a number of strategies went into action. First, the Frenzied Buddha Statue in the Yellow Ossa Mountains was defeated by Mel, Mangetsu-san, Yoichi-san and others.

Apparently, they were in a place where Ruin-san had found a quest to enter. Unlike me, they seemed to be in a canyon where there were flying monsters such as the usual gargoyles, wyrms and eagles and hard monsters such as rock golems and iron golems.

The one they don't like is a gorilla named Rock Drop. They drop large rocks from the top of the canyon. It's not a good idea.

Other than that, Gigas has been discovered in the Iji Mountain Range, but it seems that there will be a lot of Giants and they are currently preparing to attack.

A lot of other information has also come out. First, a new village and dwelling place was discovered. The village was Kid Village in the Deep Red Wilderness. The village looks like something out of a western movie. The dwelling is a lizardman's dwelling found in the Naar Wetlands. A cave in the wetland is apparently its location.

The boss was also found in the Naar Wetlands. It's a Black-spotted Pond Frog. It lives in a castle, apparently. So you're saying it's a daimyo.

I thought this monster was a complete joke, but I heard that every time it croaks, it calls out to its friends and also has the ability to block magic and skills.

If so, I'll use a sword, but I hear it's surprisingly quick. I heard that we need to be prepared to attack them as well. The rest of the country is also recovering and Fast Town is also recovering and there are many new players.

In case you're wondering, Mocchi-san is going back to Fast Town. She says that she can't make any money here. Well, I'm sure we'll meet again if we get the chance.

There are a lot of things going on, but we're going to do our best.

"Where do you want to go first? Takuto-sama"

"We'll go deer hunting in the forest of the Yellow Ossa Mountains as planned"

"Of course! I'll do my best to kill it!"

Then, let's go hunting for the first time in a while. The members are Setia, Gray, Liqueur, Mir and Astel.

Setia spotted Wapiti and attacked it with Liqueur, carrying a spear. Originally, Setia's bow should have killed it, but she wanted to get her fighting instincts back. I also realized that she was still dull.

"It's still dull...Mir, I ask for a trap"

"Leave it to me!"

While Mir was setting a trap, I did my first dismantling in a while. We got the same wapiti meat and wapiti deer mushrooms as last time. I'm grateful because I'm currently buying meat. As for the wapiti deer mushroom, when Setia was creating pills, this is what she got.

Wapiti Pill: Rarity 4 Recovery Item Quality E

When swallowed, it automatically restores vitality for two hours.

This was appreciated by Mangetsu-san and the others. Well, it doesn't taste good, but...our tank is Kurogane, so he can't take pills. There's not much benefit to us taking them and we were in despena, so we sold them.

Still, I think I'll save it this time. While I was thinking about this, the main dish arrived. Irish Elk.

"It's all set. Takuto-sama"

"All right, drop it"

"Yes!"

The Irish Elk activates the pitfall, but it jumps and dodges. Aah~...it was caught last time, but this time isn't it? For now...

"Let's get out of here, Liqueur. Setia, attack with your bow. Astel, use your magic"

"Yes!"

"Mir, again, please. Gray, use your roar to flank the Irish Elk"

"I understand!"

From here, the chase with the Irish elk began. The Irish Elk was caught in the second pitfall. The difference was that we were in the middle of a chase.

The trap caught it and Gray bit it and then Liqueur and I activated our cooperation and two rotating horns pierced the Irish Elk and killed it.

"Did I choose a hard enemy for my first opponent?"

"I think it was a good enemy. I feel safe with you, Liqueur-san"

That's right if I was told that...now, when I dismantled it after a long time, I got the giant deer venison and giant deer antlers. Now we can replenish the snacks for Setia and the others.

Setia and the others were happy, but they were also on fire today.

"We still need more! Let's hunt more and more! Takuto-sama"

"That's right! Let's hunt more and more"

Apparently, they felt threatened by the snacks that were becoming less and less every day. So once again, we killed Wapiti and Irish Elk to get the same material. This time, we were able to hunt exactly what we wanted, so we were satisfied.

Now we had some meat to spare.

Then Mir found a pine tree. I had already prepared the empty barrels from yesterday. So I cut it down. I was happy to break the record for the shortest time in one hour, when Zlatorog appeared. We've only killed one pine yet.

Well, fine. If it wants to come, I'll take it on! After all, Setia and the others are very motivated! But it's too dangerous to go on like this, so I call up Bran instead of Gray. And I change my weapon to a staff.

Then the chase with Zlatorog began. Setia, Bran and Astel finish off the Zlatorog once. This is where the real battle begins.

"!! Takuto-sama! There's a big tree over there!"

It's unnecessarily large...but it's just right.

Zlatorog's wounds are healed and when he gets up, he becomes a berserker. Last time, I underestimated the madness, but this time, I won't.

Zlatorog is coming at us. I don't move.

"Mir!"

"Yes!"

Mir activates the pitfall. On the other hand, the Zlatorog avoids with a big jump and attacks us as it is.

It can dodge the pit even if it's a madman...I learned something.

"Teleport!"

We dodge Zlatorog's attack with our teleport. And Zlatorog hit the giant tree we were standing against, causing massive damage to it. That's scary.

But I guess that's it.

"Bottomless Swamp!"

Zlatorog falls into the swamp. It was so big that it couldn't sink, but it succeeded in sealing its legs. Everyone's simultaneous attacks hit the Zlatorog.

I still couldn't beat it, so I had no choice but to use Bran's heavenly strike to kill it. Info is coming.

Bran's spear skill has reached 15. She has acquired the technique Whirlwind Wheel

After dismantling it, I got the meat of Zlatorog and a golden horn.

I was satisfied and was about to leave when Setia pulled my robe with her hand.

"What's wrong?"

"Emm...it's very hard to say, but...look at that"

Which one? Ah, it's a tree that Zlatorog hit a while ago...I can appraise it.

Sequoia: Rarity 7 Material Item Quality C

The tallest tree in the world and the oldest tree in the world. The tree is so strong that it will not burn even if a forest fire breaks out.

Huu...I look at Setia.

"Setia...you targeted it, didn't you?"

"Ehe"

You can't fake a smile!

"I was wondering which staff to use with the emerald and that one just caught my eye"

That's a lie! I know you were looking for it!

"B, But we're so close to defeating it! Takuto-sama!"

Ah~...yes, yes. I just have to do it...just do it.

Three hours later...I managed to defeat it. The time is well past midnight.

I can't do it anymore...let's face it. Using an axe to take down the world's tallest giant tree is quite a feat. It feels like a miracle that I was able to do it.

My tension was high today, but it suddenly plummeted to the bottom.

"I, It's a miracle that I was able to kill it. Takuto-sama!"
