Chapter 126

Jeong-Hoon released the drawn bowstring.

Whoosh!

The arrow flew, piercing the Wyvern's vital point, its neck.

"Keeek!"

The Wyvern, its neck pierced, plummeted to the ground and died.

- Wow... He took care of all of them...

- Honey 1, be honest. What's your identity?

- 200,000 won if you tell us your identity!

- 200,000 won and 400,000 won more!

- I'll give you an additional 500,000 won if you just tell us your class!

The chat was flooded with offers to pay if he revealed his identity.

"Alright, let's keep going."

Jeong-Hoon simply ignored them.

- Wow, look at him ignoring us ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

- He's pretending not to know ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

- 1,000,000 won!

- I'll give you 2,000,000 won! Just tell us!

Kim Bong-Goo's eyes widened as the offers reached millions of won.

"B-brother? If we add all this up, it'll be over 10 million won!"

"It'd be a shame to reveal it for that amount. This is so unique."

Jeong-Hoon grinned and gestured towards the portal leading to the next nest.

"What?"

"You almost died, so do it right this time."

He meant for him to do his job as an aggro properly.

The Wyvern's Nest wasn't small.

A single nest was over 33,000 square meters wide.

He was telling him to use his movement skills to attract the attention of the Wyverns in that vast space.

"I-I'll do my best."

"You better."

- ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Look at Honey 3 getting scolded

- Seriously, he deserves it. He got surrounded and beaten up by Wyverns as soon as he went in.

- If it weren't for Honey 1, he would have died without doing anything, right? ㅋㅋㅋ

- Honey 3, get your act together. If you don't want to die.

- If you fail again this time, you're in for a beating.

Kim Bong-Goo, reading the chat, had to suppress his boiling anger.

'What the hell are these bastards saying?'

He had been nervous at first.

Because of the pressure to look good in front of them.

But they were treating him like a pushover just because he almost died once to a Wyvern?

"Brother... I'll definitely succeed this time."

Alright.

You bastards.

I'll show you that I'm not someone you can look down on.

Kim Bong-Goo, filled with determination, entered the portal.

[Tsk tsk, that doesn't turn a cat into a tiger.]

Mukho casually commented, looking at Kim Bong-Goo.

* * *

Second Nest.

Contrary to Mukho's expectations, Kim Bong-Goo's movements had changed completely.

He first attracted the Wyverns' attention, then used his movement skills to create distance and immediately activated Stealth.

Since the Wyverns were level 190, Stealth was quickly detected.

[The Wyvern uses Sharpen Claws.]

The Wyvern pressured Kim Bong-Goo with its sharpened claws.

But unlike before, Kim Bong-Goo didn't use his movement skills. Instead, he used a skill called Shadow Mark, which he had prepared beforehand, to teleport and create distance again.

[What the? He can actually do it when he puts his mind to it?]

'It's strange that he was helpless at first when he had such a skill...'

Anima agreed.

It was problematic if an assassin couldn't even handle Wyvern aggro.

Meanwhile, Jeong-Hoon took out Anima, drew the bowstring, and started taking down the Wyverns one by one.

Finally, after defeating all the Wyverns, Kim Bong-Goo returned with a proud look on his face.

"How was that? Do you acknowledge me now?"

Kim Bong-Goo asked, looking at the chat window instead of Jeong-Hoon.

- I acknowledge it, you did well this time.

- Do you only get motivated after being insulted?

- You have a unique taste.

- Honey 3 gets stronger when insulted... (taking notes)

No, why is the conversation going in that direction again?

Just as Kim Bong-Goo was about to protest, Jeong-Hoon intervened.

"Alright, here's a honey tip."

The chat window buzzed with excitement at the mention of a honey tip.

- Honey tip?

- What is it?

- Ready to take notes.

Jeong-Hoon took out a shovel.

It had been a while since he last used a shovel.

"Take this."

"What?"

Kim Bong-Goo tilted his head in confusion as Jeong-Hoon handed him a shovel too.

"We're going to collapse this nest."

"Collapse the nest?!"

Collapsing the nest.

No one had ever thought of that before.

Users would hunt all the Wyverns, then move on to the next nest through the portal in front of them and continue hunting Wyverns to clear the dungeon.

- Huh? Why collapse the nest?

- Is he crazy? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

- No, ㅋㅋㅋ why is that a honey tip? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

- There's no way the map can collapse ㅋㅋㅋ

- I bet 50,000 won that nothing will happen ㅋㅋㅋ

- I bet 100,000 won!

- 100,000 and 200,000 more!

- So stingy... Bet 500,000!

The number of live viewers had already surpassed 30,000.

A sly smile crept across Jeong-Hoon's lips.

"Alright, let's start collapsing it from the center."

The Wyvern's Nest was called a nest, but it wasn't much different from a regular field. It was a large landmass, over 33,000 square meters wide, floating in the sky.

Therefore, it was possible to dig into the ground with a shovel.

"W-wait a minute! What if we fall?!"

Kim Bong-Goo's face turned pale as he tried to stop him.

"Hmm? That's why we have the potions."

Jeong-Hoon took out potions from his inventory and handed them to him.

Potions that allowed the use of flight magic.

However, they had severe side effects after an hour, so no one wanted to drink them.

Kim Bong-Goo's face, having already experienced the side effects once, turned sour.

"No... Really..."

"I was just kidding. This is how we enter the new route, so trust me."

He said he would collapse the nest, but it wouldn't actually collapse.

'The second nest. If you destroy a certain part of it, the boss will awaken. That's where its heart is buried.'

Because that was the path to the hidden route.

Jeong-Hoon started digging into the ground with the shovel.

Thud. Thud.

As he dug deeper, piles of dirt fell and plummeted down.

The falling dirt disappeared before it could reach Märchen.

Nevertheless, Jeong-Hoon continued to dig without hesitation, and a small hole was created in the center of the nest.

Through the hole, the capital of Märchen could be seen, very small.

- Wow... That's really high up, huh?

- Is he really not going to fall?

- What the hell kind of honey tip is this?

- Let's not say it's a honey spot for bungee jumping, okay?

The viewers also started to show puzzled reactions.

"Just wait and see."

Jeong-Hoon supported his body with his legs to avoid falling and gradually widened the hole.

"Ugh..."

And Kim Bong-Goo also diligently helped by shoveling next to him.

"Alright, that's enough. We can stop now."

Jeong-Hoon called for a halt.

He had damaged the nest enough, so 'that guy' should have noticed by now.

- What?

- Nothing's happening, why stop?

- He must have been scared ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

- So there's no honey tip after all...

Just as the chat was filled with disappointed messages.

[Warning! Warning!]

[The dormant Bone Lord Wyvern is enraged!]

[The existing route is deleted.]

[Raid Boss: Defeat the Bone Lord Wyvern.]

Along with the message, the third nest and onwards were sequentially deleted, and all the Wyverns visible in the distance disappeared.

- ?

- What's happening?

- Bone Lord Wyvern?

- What kind of monster is that? S~eaʀᴄh the ηovёlFire .net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

- But the boss here is supposed to be the Blood Wyvern?

While the viewers were confused, the ground in the distance began to crumble rapidly.

"Let's move to the portal."

Jeong-Hoon and Kim Bong-Goo took the portal back to the first nest and observed the unfolding situation.

Rumble.

It took only 10 minutes for the second nest to completely collapse.

And from the collapsed nest, a black gate formed, and a giant Wyvern slowly emerged.

Unlike ordinary Wyverns, this one was entirely made of bones, except for the heart on its chest.

[Lv. 220 Bone Lord Wyvern]

* * *

Whoosh-

The capsule door opened, and Lee Na-Yeon stepped out.

Thanks to Ho-Yeong's support and her dedication to leveling up, she had finally reached level 103.

'You're leveling up so fast.'

It was inevitable.

She repeatedly hunted monsters, blowing their heads off with her excellent equipment and overwhelming skills, finishing them off in one or two hits.

Additionally, she quickly gained experience by running dungeons with the Ho-Yeong Guild.

It was a structure where leveling up couldn't be slow.

However, once she passed level 100, the leveling speed decreased significantly.

To be precise, the amount of experience required for leveling up doubled.

'It's okay! Ho-Yeong will help you diligently, so Mom, just enjoy the game!'

Thanks to Yeo Min-Ji, who always showed interest and kept in touch, the game was still enjoyable.

On the other hand, her son, after giving her a touching birthday present, had been living in the capsule, saying he was busy...

Just in case, she had prepared a meal before entering the capsule, but the food remained untouched.

It meant he was focusing on the game, even skipping meals.

'Mom, it's okay. In New World, it's normal to skip meals when you're busy.'

He tried to sugarcoat it, but she couldn't help but worry.

Lee Na-Yeon carefully opened Jeong-Hoon's door.

The capsule door was still tightly closed.

"Sigh, I'll have to scold him when he comes out."

She couldn't disturb her son who was engrossed in the game.

So she went to the living room to rest for a while, and then she got a call from Yeo Min-Ji.

[Mom! Did you see the broadcast?!]

"Broadcast?"

Whose broadcast was she talking about?

[Hoon's broadcast! It's going crazy right now!]

Going crazy?

Lee Na-Yeon hurriedly hung up the phone and went to Youtube using the link Yeo Min-Ji had sent her.

The channel name was definitely HoneyTube, right?

But the number of live viewers was 43,000.

It meant that 43,000 people were currently watching the live broadcast.

"Oh my..."

It was a completely different scale from the last live broadcast.

* * *

The Bone Lord Wyvern was a different kind of boss from the previous ones.

In New World, there were normal bosses and raid bosses.

'Its HP is ridiculously high.'

Normal bosses could have their HP reduced by up to 20-30% with a single attack on their weak point, but raid bosses were difficult to even shave off 1% from, even with relentless attacks.

Of course, Sophia, a level 480 dark mage, could toy with it single-handedly.

- Wait... A hidden boss appears just because you dug a hole in the nest?

- Crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I never thought of digging the nest

- That's why it hasn't appeared until now...

- Wow, I can't believe it turned out like this.

- Hey, you guys who bet money! Aren't you going to pay up?

- Pay up quickly; dodging payment is super lame.

And then came a barrage of donations.

The amount had already exceeded 5 million won.

"B-brother... Why did that thing appear?"

Kim Bong-Goo asked, pointing at the Bone Lord Wyvern with his shovel.

"Because this nest is its grave."

The Bone Lord Wyvern's grave.

The Bone Lord Wyvern's corpse was buried beneath this nest.

To forcibly awaken its soul, a part of the nest had to be damaged.

[That's interesting. Its soul awakens just by damaging the nest a little.]

'I've never seen anything like this before either.'

Mukho and Anima spoke, looking intrigued.

Actually, it wasn't that strange.

'If you think about the commonalities so far, it's simple.'

New World was mostly focused on 'destruction.'

That was probably why it was so different from other games.

A signal to destroy everything.

So perhaps such a signal was hidden in this nest as well?

"Honey 3, you go in close and hit it a bit."

"What?! But... How can I hit that flying thing?"

The Bone Lord Wyvern was flying outside the nest, flapping its bone wings.

- Yeah, how can Honey 3 hit it? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

- I lost some money, but at least there's a new spectacle to watch.

- 10 if he clears it!

- 20 on top of that 10!

- 20 is too stingy. I'm betting 100.

- Ah, what the... I was going to go to the Sky Field, but... I can't go.

- Why aren't there any Pegasi? I can't go to the Sky Field ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

With the completion of the royal palace quest, there would be no Pegasi for the time being.

They said they would arrive in four days, so the viewers would have to wait until then to try.

'If they take the potion, they might be able to get there within that time.' Jeong-Hoon thought

Anyway, the entrance route to the Bone Lord Wyvern had just been revealed to the world, so people would start attempting it non-stop from now on.

That's because the reward was so good.

[The Bone Lord Wyvern uses 'Lord's Pressure'.]

As it activated its ability, his whole body tingled and felt heavy.

His legs trembled, and a sense of impending doom pressed down on him.

"Ugh!"

Kim Bong-Goo groaned.

Jeong-Hoon, on the other hand, was fine.

[Using Purification.]

He had escaped the Lord's Pressure using Purification, obtained through holy power.

He immediately used Purification on Kim Bong-Goo as well to remove the debuff.

Only then did Kim Bong-Goo's complexion return to normal.

"See that portal over there?"

Jeong-Hoon pointed his chin towards the Bone Lord Wyvern's back.

A small portal was shimmering on its back.

"Phew... Yes."

"That's connected to the portal in front of the nest. You can use the portal to deal damage to it."

"...Me?"

"You don't have any ranged skills. And that guy has no intelligence, so it'll be quick once you figure out its patterns."

"But still..."

"Here, drink this and go."

He handed him a potion, just in case.

Kim Bong-Goo drank the potion with a sour face and jumped into the portal.

Fear gripped him, but he decided it was better than facing the viper's wrath later, so his body moved.

"Shall I start then?"

Jeong-Hoon infused mana into the Märchen earring.

[Designate a skill.]

And the Attack Skill he could designate.

Jeong-Hoon chose Extinction without hesitation.

Extinction had the insane ability to reduce the opponent's HP by 2%, regardless of their current HP.

If he increased the 2% activation probability to 6%, taking down the Bone Lord Wyvern would be a piece of cake.

['Extinction' activation probability increased by 4% for 1 hour.]

He used the earring.

[Blackfield is activated.]

[All stats are increased by 1.2x.]

[Due to the effect of Blackfield, all stats of monsters that have entered the area are decreased by 3%.]

And then, Blackfield activation.

[All stats are increased by 15%.]

[Damage reduction of 20% is applied.]

[Time limit is '1 hour'.]

Finally, he used the stat-boosting ring he had been saving.

He had used every trick in the book and was fully prepared.
