Chapter 13

Episode 13. Find the orb (5)

An empty lot in the forest where Andromalius is waiting for players.

There were quite a few players.

“This is not good.”

Arem, a player from fantasy dimension Eden, frowned.

From the beginning, he was waiting in the clearing with the intention of stealing the orbs that other players had collected.

However, the plan was disrupted by the appearance of the giant serpent, Aksharon.

A significant number of players returned to the clearing without collecting orbs to avoid Aksharon.

“Why are you returning without collecting them?”

“There, the demon king is sitting down. It must have been calculated that it would be safe.”

“Not good.”

There are too many eyes to see.

Even if there were players who brought the orb, it became difficult to steal it.

If you take it, you can take it, but that’s the problem.

It’s simple if you think about why those players came back.

Like Arem, they also thought of attacking the player who had collected the orbs.

Of course, maybe not all.

Some might wait for the big snake to disappear before going back to find the orb.

However, at this point, it was clear that if a player who collected the orb and went in front of Andromalius appeared, everyone would attack the player with the orb, causing a mess.

“Haha because of that snake demon.”

“I can’t catch it. Twenty players were eaten without doing anything.”

“Are you that strong?”

“They say you have to scratch it with the Aura Sword to get the knife stuck. But I heard that it plays in 10 seconds.”

Arem shook his head at the words of his colleague.

“It’s a level I can’t catch at all.”

Aura Sword. sword.

In the Eden dimension, the aura sword was a skill that could only be used by a knight level famous in the region, if not a super-high level.

“Because of that guy, I can’t dare to collect orbs. What was the demon king thinking by letting such a guy loose in the forest?”

“I don’t mean to grab and find the orb comfortably, but to find it uncomfortable while holding your breath.”

“Damn it. I heard that a powerful witch appeared in the forest in the north.”

“Do you have something to eat in a hurry? It’s not something we can save. Let’s go as planned.”

Arem shook his head.

‘That’s urgent. There’s no way a guy who gathered orbs in a forest where monsters like this are lurking will be taken lightly.’

Arem was trying to steal the orbs that the goofballs had gathered, but he had no intention of recklessly challenging the strong.

Arem spat out curse words and inspected the clearing.

Even if you roughly count, there are dozens of players.

Considering the players hiding their presence and locating around the vacant lot, the number seemed to be higher.

‘I’m sure he can take away even a fairly strong man. Because there is no business in front of numbers.’

But the next scene is clear even without seeing it.

If someone collects orbs right now, this clearing will become a sea of blood.

***

“I didn’t expect it to come this far.”

The sun stuck out its tongue.

The grotesque Stan had flown to his nest poisoned by the green sand scorpion’s venom.

Thanks to that, Taeyang got an unexpected orb.

5 of them too.

[The orb’s buff is applied.]

[The orb’s buff is applied.]

[The orb’s buff is applied.] [

The orb’s buff is applied.]

[The orb’s buff is applied.]

Thanks to that, I collected all 18 orbs.

-The orb is graduation.

-He only fought, did he collect all 18 orbs? Hahaha

– But it’s worth it. Rob Stan’s nest, Aksharon snake’s burrow...

– It’s amazing that he didn’t.

Taeyang obtained the stats corresponding to 28 achievements.

At the same time, the orb-related achievements were also resolved.

-Good good. Less work to show off.

“Isn’t there something like an egg here? I think it would be delicious if you eat it with a fried egg.”

-Stan’s egg? doesn’t exist. Stan is single.

-celibacy?

-all. similar to me I have no intention of getting married either.

-TT

-? why are you crying

– I think I know what you think...

– We understand! that’s right! No need to get married!

-??? why are you all of a sudden

The sun applied the powdered essence of the grass flower to the wound.

Originally, the sap powder of grass flower was a narcotic powder that showed symptoms of paralysis and hallucinations, but the difference between medicine and poison was a piece of paper.

It can also be used as a pain reliever in very small amounts.

-are you okay?

“Oh yes. I can bear with it for a little bit now.”

This wasn’t the first time I’ve experienced pain in virtual reality.

I gritted my teeth and endured it, but it was worth it.

-?? what.

– You look really sick.

-You’re playing the game with the pain control device turned off?

-crazy? isn’t that illegal?

-Did a shock death while playing a game before it was illegal;;

-But if you die in Dantalian now, you really die anyway.

-That’s it too.

-Did you turn it off because of the synchro rate?

-Wow, I went in holding each one to clear it with all my heart.

-No, does turning off the pain control device in the first place help the game?

The chat window slides down.

Taeyang and Hyunhye ignored the chat and discussed future plans.

“The players must have been swept away by Aksharon by now, right?”

– It’s been a while since I was swept away.

“I can’t hear the screams.”

“Has the hunt been successful?”

“No, that makes no sense. There was no sign of the group of players moving.”

“How do you know that?”

“I don’t know about one or two people, but it’s obvious that that many people are moving.”

“I don’t know about hunting, the snake might have returned.”

When Aksharon first hunted twenty players, a horrifying scream echoed throughout the forest.

Based on their experience, the players concluded that Aksharon was not around.

Then a man entered the clearing.

“What is that guy?”

The half-torn rag was only the gaudy belt.

A man with a shoulder injury and a very tired look.

it was the sun

Arem realized at once that the sun was the player who had collected all the orbs.

“hey. Let’s get ready.”

“good. Judging from the look on his face, he must have suffered a lot.”

Without hesitation, Arem and his comrades drew their swords and moved toward the sun.

They weren’t the only ones moving.

Even players who have never left the clearing area in the first place.

Arem muttered cautiously.

“Going slow. watching slowly. He’s the guy who’s been collecting orbs in this mess. There will definitely be one. We don’t have to suffer, do we?”

“I’ve been patient until now, so there’s no reason I can’t be more patient.”

Half of the players who resided in the vacant lot gathered at the sun at the same time.

boom boom.

The sun bent its head.

“I did collect orbs, but... ... Don’t you think you need some traffic control? Will it be the one I collected?”

“The one who eats first wins!”

“Watch your back!”

One sun and a bunch of players.

Naturally, the players regarded each other as rivals rather than the sun.

The players, who were in a hurry, rushed at the sun with their eyes wide open.

“The experience of being ignored like this. something new?”

The sun shot towards the players.

The expression of being shot rather than jumping out and running out was certainly accurate.

Tuung.

The players didn’t even react properly.

pug.

With one punch, the lower jaw shattered and

cuckoo.

With one kick, the spine folded in half.

The average achievement of players is 4.

On the other hand, Taeyang’s achievements are 27.

Their level was more than adults and children.

“crazy!”

“What is so strong!”

The sun threw Stan’s feathers at those who tried to run away.

‘You won’t be able to use it again anyway. Let’s spend it generously.’

The venom of the green sand scorpion oxidized within 3 hours as soon as it escaped from the stinger.

Stan’s feathers were also plucked out, and as time passed, his magic power drained and he lost his sharpness.

Literally, it can be said that it is a weapon exclusively for the great Aksharon.

Star Bust High Kick.

Wow!

“Gagging... ... .”

Silence hung over the vacant lot for the last time as the players who lost consciousness in the starburst high kick.

30 seconds.

In just 30 seconds, half of the players who attacked the sun lost their lives.

The sun looked around and shouted.

“Does anyone else need an orb? Come out if you have.”

No one came out.

A picture completely different from what Arem imagined.

Arem also broke into a cold sweat and pulled out a sword and grabbed the fellow.

“Do everything next time. I don’t think now is the time.”

“That’s right. You’re right. I don’t think this is.”

The sun looked around and murmured.

“If not, I will go first.”

slow down.

Players in the direction the sun was walking moved away.

Like Moses parting the Red Sea.

Andromalius, who was sitting at the end of the steps of the sun, smiled.

“Here you are.”

“okay. come.”

“Spit the orb here.”

The snake coiled around Andromalius’ right arm opened its mouth.

The orbs collected by the sun were shaken out.

Tuduk. Tuduk.

One. 2. Three.

... ... 10 things. 11 pieces.

Arem muttered with a tired face.

“How many orbs have you collected in the world?”

... ... 17 pieces. 18 pieces.

Finally, 18 orbs were piled up in the snake’s mouth.

Andromalius smiled at the sun.

“Eighteen. That’s a very decent score.”

At the same time, the system window popped up.

[2-1 Finding Orbs: Collect 3 orbs. – Pass]

[Acquisition: King Snake Hunt, Monster Hunt Orb Collector (3) Orb Collector (5) Orb Collector (7) Orb Find Clear.] -Um

6 types of achievements.

– I really ate everything I could eat.

-4 floors, 15. Almost 4 achievements per type on average. Crazy.
