Episode 135:
Procrastination.
A day had passed since the start of the Degur defense battle, and the end was finally in sight.
The number of creatures rushing into the tunnels from all directions began to slowly decrease. X suppressed his laughter.
‘You guys probably didn’t expect this kind of resistance.’
X had some time to spare. Because he had still saved his secret moves, including the bear stance.
Nevertheless, there was no shortage of dealing with creatures exceeding level 700.
Samsung cooking with great results!
X devoted himself to cooking research to the extent that it rivaled his usual hunting time.
Thanks to this, I was able to quickly prepare dishes that had the right effect for the situation.
With the addition of clumsy Richie Cullard’s support, the atmosphere was able to turn around.
“Finish it!”
“Fighting!”
“I already caught one!”
That unusual atmosphere even awakened the courage of the Dongle tribe.
The Dongle people swung their shovels and pickaxes while shedding tears. Dozens of people fought as best as they could against one creature.
‘For some reason, it seems like he fights much better than I thought.’
Strength strengthened through shoveling!
The Dongle tribe’s attack was sloppy, but its power was extraordinary.
Puk puk!
Enough to break through the enormous tentacle barrier and deliver an effective hit. Of course, if the tentacles even counterattacked, I immediately went into panic.
“Ugh, it hurts.”
“Don’t cry. Just be patient.”
Since you jumped into battle, it was natural to take damage.
Injuries from the Dongle tribe continued to appear everywhere. It is not easy to retrieve and treat the injured among these vicious creatures.
However, X had a rare morale skill that was perfect for this situation. X shouted.
“Sea God’s Judgment!”
Ultra-wide range attack magic and ultra-wide range healing magic!
The power of the Sea God’s Judgment varied depending on the amount of mana consumed.
Currently, X’s mana has recovered close to maximum mana. This was thanks to the combination of the rune stone’s blessing and the effects of heavenly cooking.
Shoot!!
Soon, a huge tsunami was created in the air.
“...What?! “Suddenly water?!”
“Is there even a flood now?”
“Ugh, I don’t want to die and I don’t want water.”
Dongle people are embarrassed! However, the commotion did not last long.
Wow!!
A huge tsunami engulfed the underground city of Degur. Considering its size, it would be normal for all of Degur’s buildings to be destroyed. But the buildings were fine.
“What is it?”
“My body feels lighter!”
“It’s not ordinary water...?”
In addition, the injured Dongle tribe regained their vitality in an instant.
The same goes for X and Yongyong who suffered the judgment of the Sea God. I felt like the accumulated fatigue was washed away in an instant.
chuck! X raised his weapon again.
‘Now let’s focus until the end.’
Shashashak! Concise yet flexible.
X continued to fight among the creatures damaged by the tsunami. Creatures that begin to evaporate with a single critical hit! The disposal of such remnants was almost completely finished.
Tiroling! A thrilling notification appeared before X’s eyes.
[You have succeeded in the quest!]
[You have acquired the title ‘Savior of the Underworld’!]
[Your reputation increases by 5000 points!]
“...It is done.”
Clear A rank quest!
If it weren’t for the closed training, I would have seen something even worse and failed.
However, the current X easily succeeded in the most difficult quest in Fate history.
A level of difficulty that cannot be guaranteed even if a large guild joins forces, all on your own!
“Wow, we won!!”
“I protected Degur!”
“Aww thank you Xjjji! “A winged snake!”
The tearful cries of the Dongle tribe can be heard from everywhere.
X lightly shrugged his shoulders at Malang, who rushed at him while wiping his eyes.
‘Well, strictly speaking, you weren’t alone?’
“It’s delicious!!”
“It wasn’t as good as X, but we did our best!!”
“Kyuuut!”
When the noisy self-celebration party was over, the relaxed Dongle people spread out anywhere and fell asleep.
Yongyong is also in a state of deep sleep, caught in the circle of people.
‘I need to take care of it in advance.’
Precious ingredients!
X sat down and prepared the ingredients he had obtained from the Dongle tribe.
From normal to rare. Even though the grades are different, they are all ingredients you have never seen before, so they will be a great help in increasing your stats.
“Ex-chi.”
“You weren’t sleeping?”
Soft came to X’s side. Next to Malang was an elder hamster. You should always look good to your superiors.
When X stood up and tried to greet him, the elder hamster waved his hand.
“It’s okay X. And thank you.”
“you’re welcome. “Of course it has to be done.”
“Even if you did what you had to do, it doesn’t change the fact that we got help. “We, the Dongle people, have received an unforgettable favor from you.”
Malang and the elder hamster lowered their heads at the same time. The elder hamster spoke to X, who also lowered his head.
“But through this incident, we Dongle people realized. “I cannot live in fear and avoidance forever. I must bravely face any hardships and adversities like you.”
The elder hamster continued speaking in a overwhelmed voice.
“X From now on, we Dongle people will not be afraid of the earth. “We will not be satisfied with the dark basement, but will move towards a new world!”
Tiroling!
At the same time, a notification rang in X’s ears.
[Thanks to your influence, a new race, the ‘Dongle Tribe’, has appeared in Fate World!]
The Dongle Tribe has declared that they will advance to the surface!
Although I have had quite a lot of experience with X, this was my first time receiving a notification like this.
Of course, he couldn’t have felt bad since he said that it was because of him that he gained courage.
“I will support that decision too.”
X responded and talked about the land with them.
I tried to be a little more gentle because I was afraid he might get scared, but the reaction wasn’t very good.
Softly muttered.
“...I need to be brave. “Honestly, I’m scared.”
X could understand how he felt.
How easy is it to change not only your personality in a short period of time, but also your living environment? It would be common for the Dongle tribe, who started their activities, to be run over by humans.
So, in cases like this, sufficient practice is needed.
X, with a sinister smile on his face, opened his mouth.
“...Then, how about slowly adapting to the surface from a ‘city without people’? There, you become familiar with the building style and lifestyle on the ground, and then you begin activities on the ground in earnest.”
The elder hamster responded to X’s words.
“If that’s the case, there’s no need to be scared. But does a city without people exist? When I looked down at the ground, there were lots of people everywhere I went...”
Why isn’t there anything?
There is a vast island called Xernis, with a population of only one lord.
widely. The story seemed to have ended roughly. X kicked his knees and stood up.
“Would you like to go see that city together?”
*
“It has become the same as the castle wall in my memories.”
“Hehe. “Isn’t that going too far?”
“Let’s cheer up, Your Majesty.”
Kangkang! The second restoration of the castle wall was almost finished.
The newly installed bricks looked extremely strong. Jaul, who was looking around the castle walls with a happy expression, suddenly stopped.
“...what?”
Vibration felt under feet.
Something was coming towards Xernis from under the ground.
Enemy? The person who appeared in front of Zawl, who was about to take out his greatsword, was none other than X.
“Eh? “What is this...?”
“I’m home!”
“Oh, is this the ground?!”
Skip. Malang and the elder hamster sticking their heads out of the tunnel.
“Ah, that’s how it happened.”
Zawl, who was watching them, let out a chuckle. He must have been a villager lured by the new lord.
Never would he have thought that even he would bring a species he had never seen before as the first settler.
Zawl nodded with a satisfied smile.
“As expected, you have to do this much to be worthy of the lord of Xernis.”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
