ED:

“As expected, you know well. There were those guys. And four-handed ogres were piled high.”

“There were? You said there were? Then, did you fight those guys? Alone?”

At Luger’s words, Ewin’s eyes widened. Luger nodded. It was understandable that the NPCs as well as the users around them couldn’t believe it.

“Does that make sense? A party is needed to be able to fight a four-handed ogre alone.”

“How about a cyclops? No matter how strong you are...... how can you go into an area where a field boss class monster appears as a normal mob by yourself?”

“What the hell is that? Doesn’t a winged-ogre mean it has wings? That’s horrible!”

Luger opened his mouth again before the shouts of the users could get louder.

“When I reached the 33rd floor, one wall was scratched up. A color that can’t be described simply as darkness of night, a hole so black that you can only think that the graphics of Middle Earth are broken. The torch couldn’t even illuminate it. And there... I saw him. A red crystal was placed in front of a black hole, and a figure with a blue beard laid on it. I soon found out what it was and shot it.”

Luger’s fist, which was placed on the table, clenched. Unlike the NPCs, the users understood.

It meant a quest had appeared. The content was probably to kill Le. “I gave everything I had. The result is this hat.”

“So? Did you at least hurt Le?”

Luger shook his head at Ewin’s question.

“[Panzer Faust], [Panzer Shrek]“

*****

Kwaaaaang一 Kwaaaaaang—-.

Luger’s bullets were fired toward the bright red crystal.

The blast on the back of the Cobalt Blue Python was also huge, but the dust generated by the bullet hitting the crystal was even greater.

However, all the dust was sucked into the pitch-black darkness.

Luger frowned and looked around.

All monsters that could threaten him had already died. He didn’t know where they spawned, but he was sure that they would not respawn for a while, considering the cycle he observed so far.

“Phew....... It is an honor to be able to use this against the Fragment of the Demon King.”

Then he grabbed the Cobalt Blue Python His weapon was in its musket form.

The bullets fired by [Cobalt Blue Python] were enormous compared to normal iron beads, and now, Luger was using bullets larger than that.

“[Cannon Reinforcement: Flat-fire]“

Hwaaaak-!

A deep blue light emanated from the Cobalt Blue Python. After looking satisfactorily at his weapon, which was thicker and slightly longer than before, Luger aimed at the red crystal.

“I found it, a Fragment of the Demon King. Finally, the main quest is mine... ”

He even cast his strongest skill, which he had only recently acquired.

“[Jagdpanzer Kanone]!”

Maybe it was because the basement was closed-off, but the loud noise made Luger’s own ears ring. Chhiiing- Even the ringing sound was being sucked into the darkness with smoke.

“Damn it! It’s not useful in a place like this. If it’s not an open space, there are restrictions- hmm?”

Luger was happy and unhappy at the same time, he was happy as he looked at the broken crystal and the quest to destroy the Fragment of the Demon King was cleared, but he was unhappy because he didn’t like the fact that his newly acquired skill was too noisy.

In the midst of those opposing emotions, the sound of footsteps and ticks were heard

“Who-”

“It’s a little early, but.... Thank you, young man. Next time we meet, I will show you love at least once.”

When he looked up, a voice was already coming from behind Luger.

Could it be called dignified? But strangely, the tone was off. Although it was clearly a middle-aged or older male voice, there was some affection in it and felt a bit disgusting.

However, Luger couldn’t pay much attention to the tone of the mans voice.

Because he couldn’t see him. If it wasn’t for the slight weight on his head, he would have treated it as an auditory hallucination.

“Blue B-”

[A temporary truce has been established between Minis and Fibiel.]

[Truce period: Until the conclusion of the peace treaty]

[Agreed by : Commander-in-Chief Granville and Commander-in-Chief Ewin]

Fibiel’s Side – The Pillar, Commander-in-Chief Granville

Minis’ Side – Fox of the Prairie, Commander-in-Chief Ewin]

The war is over. But this is only just another beginning.

[The quest for the outbreak of the national war has ended.]

[Obtained 4,611 war contribution points.]

[The conscription of users who participated in the war has been cancelled.]

[The relationship between the other countries are restored to normal.]

[After this... the penalties for indiscriminate attack will be applied.]

[Compensation based on acquired contribution points will be announced at a later date.]

[Accumulated contribution: 35,857]

[A private event for users with the highest contribution will be held in each country.]

“A truce!”

“Whaaaat-! Amaaaaazing! My contribution!”

“Damn it! My contribution is -800! Just a few more days of war!”

“Pheww, I barely removed the negative points. It was dogshit. How many did you get?”

“I got 97. Jackpot! The final contribution is 283.”

“Wow, your contribution is very high. I only have 192.”

“Heuheu, I only died once since Marching Plains, and I have been on a roll since! It would have been absurd if I did not get this much.”

Users were excited regardless if they were from Fibiel or Minis.

Maybe because they had only just heard the terrible news about the Fragment of the Demon King, but the users focused on the rewards in front of them rather than how they were going to move in the future.

‘It’s the compensation for the last battle. They still have conscience.’

Leeha leisurely read the notification that floated in front of him. At the time of the quest to carry out the destruction of the keystones before the siege, he had gained around 3,000 points. However, in the last battle, he earned 4,000 points. Leeha saw what it meant.

‘Blocking the advance of Alexander and the gold dragon. Was it interpreted that attracting them and damaging them contributed tremendously from Fubiel’s point of view? Well, it’s true. It’s embarrassing, but I like it.’

It was a cooperative operation but the final blow to Bailephus was from Leeha.

It meant that he got a huge amount of contribution thanks to that, but how great was Alexander and Bailephus, the beings who gave 4,000 points of contribution just by dealing damage to them?

Of course, I couldn’t help but feel a little bitter about it.

[Is the war over?]

“It’s not the perfect end, but at least for now, we won’t be aiming our blades at each other, dragon.”

Granville answered Bailephus’ words. A peace treaty must be signed for a true end to the war. The ceasefire could literally end at any time, but with the involvement of the Pope it could be seen as equivalent to having a peace treaty.

[Hmmm.......]

“As expected, there was something.”

Watching the gold dragon’s attittude, Kidd muttered quietly.

It was Alexander who had been trying to say something since he first appeared. Of course, Alexander must have heard it from Bailephus. The gold dragon sorted the noisy atmosphere and calmed the users around him.

-Listen quietly, humans. I will tell you why I have kept you alive.

“H-Hyung?”

“Shh. I can hear it too.”

Is the level just the standard. Or was it the matter of attittude? Maybe it’s the sum of stats. Leeha and Kijeong quietly listened to the message of the gold dragon, which was heard by selected people based on an unknown criteria.

-I went to your useless war with my friend to find a dragon that disappeared a long time ago. He is a member of the red dragon clan.

He was the strongest of dragons.

And my oldest enemy...
