“Kiriririt!”
“Kiyaat, kiyaaaat, kiyaaaat’——!”
“Now that I’m here, I don’t know if this is good or bad but-”
Leeha lifted the item he had taken out and pulled the trigger.
“-anyway, let’s go, Koma!”
Kuooooo—-!
The flamethrower made from Blaugrun’s remaining dragon heart lit up again, and Koma’s fireball cut through the air along with the flamethrower’s flame.
“Kkiriririt—–!”
“Kyaaaaat-! D-dodge! That’s dangerous!”
The harpies, who raised their claw and dived at high speed, hurriedly shook their wings.
The monsters’ instincts were at least accurate.
The flamethrower’s damage was 3,000 per second. It’s range was 70m.
Koma’s fireball’s single target damage was 18,000. And it’s area of effect damage was 10,000.
This was not a level which monsters that were around level 170-180 could handle.
“You’re too late!”
Baaaaang
– they had no way for the harpies to turn back once their body accelerated!
Leeha and Koma caught 9 harpies with just one attack. Leeha’s experience points rose rapidly.
Around the time Leeha left the Holy Grill and was about to go to the red mountain range to turn the sky red, a pair of man and woman were looking around near the border of Minis.
“Is it here?”
“That’s right. Oka-san.”
Chiyou and Sasuke were in a dense forest area that was not suitable for Minis, which had flatlands as the majority of its terrain.
“Hmmm, they said they were drifters, so they only go to strange places. Still, to live up to their names, shouldn’t they go mainly to big cities.”
Step, step, as they walked a little further, stepping on dirt and leaves, something suddenly fell from above, and appeared in front of them.
“Chachachan! Were you surprised?!”
“……I knew you were there a while ago.”
Falling while bungee jumping from a tall tree with a rope tied around his ankle.
When Chiyou’s reaction was not as he expected, the expression of the user dressed as a clown darkened.
“eeeeng, what? It’s not fun, not fun! People who aren’t fun must die-”
“Stop.”
The moment the clown user was about to take out his dagger from his pocket, Sasuke, who had been by Chiyou’s side, was already behind him, holding his a shuriken.
“We just came to see the vice-leader of the Midnight Circus. I am sure I sent a message in advance.”
“Uhihit! Not everyone can meet him! We are clowns selling dreams and hopes! We will serve you with a low ticket price of 100 gold!”
If it was 100 gold, it was equivalent to about 10 million won. Of course, it was a small amount for Chiyou, but her expression turned dark.
“Stop making silly jokes. Before I get upset, can you tell him that Chiyou from Shinobi-Gumi has come for business? Right now.”
Startled. At the mention of the name of Chiyou, the upside down giggling clown stiffened.
“Eeng? Chiyou-”
“Buhihi, right. Right, that woman is Chiyou.”
Step, step, step. Another voice dismissed the commotion. The clown hanging in the air shouted after confirming his identity.
“-vice-leader!”
“Tsk, you’re trying make me lose face! It would be more fun if I fed you to a lion, fuck off!”
“Uhut, yes, yes!”
The clown, who had been hung upside down, grabbed the rope, and climbed up quickly, and disappeared from sight.
Chiyou and Sasuke only smiled after seeing the clown approaching through the darkness. .
“Long time no see? How can I contact you when you’re so far away?”
“Ukyahahahak-Kwe! Why would you contact me?”
Chiyou raised her small white hand and gently greeted Petyr, but he only smiled and pretended to spit.
“I don’t know why you’re being mean again. I told you I would contact you if there’s something good.”
“Something good? Uhahat! Something good? Don’t you think it’s comical that I am a part of a traveling circus? I am completely aware of what happened with the de~mon~king’s~ar~my! The demon king’s army you encouraged me to ‘join’, uhihihit! Was that a good thing? If I listened to you, my head would have exploded too, don’t you think?”
At one time, Chiyou tried to get support from Petyr and the Midnight Circus, who were difficult to deal with, against Faust.
Fortunately, they were able to remain out of trouble because Leeha ended the situation without them becoming an agent of the Demon King.
“Cough, still! I said I would call you again if something good happen next time. How can there only be good things? That is that, and this is this…… That’s how you can grow and make a name for yourself. doesn’t it?”
“Uhihihit! Stop talking nonsense, just tell me!”
When Petyr cut off Chiyou’s word, Sasuke’s expression hardened.
The reason why the two of them went together was because they weren’t able to find Midnight Circus’ tent.
‘I was going to use this opportunity to do some marking, or location checking…’
Petyr was also an assassin with habits ingrained to his core.
It was only natural that he would never let outsiders into his hideout.
‘Hoooh, anyway, this psycopath is annoying to deal with.’
Chiyou was also in a bad mood, but she couldn’t help it.
Because she heard that rankers like Igor and Faust couldn’t log in.
“You must have heard that the New Continent Expedition is recruiting, right?”
“Of course.”
“I need you to join me there.”
“Uhihit, me? I won’t be helping that asshole! Playing clown without getting paid-”
“You don’t need to do that. If you put your mind to it, you have the automatic participation requirement.”
Chiyou smiled and showed her white teeth innocently. Kilkil, Petyr, who had been giggling, asked with one big smile on his face.
“What does that mean?”
“It’s the information we got the hard way by recruiting someone from the Vatican. Are you willing to listen, [ Descendant of the Assassin Hero of the 2nd Human-Demon War.], Petyr-ssi?”
When Chiyou asked, Petyr was troubled. And after a while.
Ttak-!
Boom, boom, boom-! As soon as Petyr flicked his finger, three small fireworks exploded in the distance.
“Uhuhut, isn’t the welcome celebration too insignificant?”
“You should be thankful to get even this much! Kihihit!”
Petyr was also a ranker, a self-proclaimed clown and a master of assassination.
The vice-leader of Midnight Circus who trampled on Biyemi, who was the strongest assassin in the past, and the ‘descendant of the hero of the 2nd human-demon war’, and despite his strange way of speaking giggling like a psychopath, he had enough judgment not to join the Demon King’s Army.
It was a natural ability for him to recognize the weight of the information Chiyou brought at a glance.
***
“Kiririt, Kiriririt——-!”
“Kyaaaaa——! Kyaat——!”
“……Are you really not coming down?”
“A man! All men must be killed!”
“Kyaaaa—- It’s true that men can only see what’s in front! They don’t look back! All living things that only look in front must be killed! It’s a man’s trait to neglect family for work!”
“Haaa, it’s not like I don’t look behind, it’s just that I can’t turn around…. Besides, a monster talking like a woman that gets neglected by her husband…. Men also have their own difficulties- no, that’s it. Why the hell am I trying to reason with you?”
Leeha sighed as he heard the shouts of the harpies coming behind him.
The five remaining harpies certainly have the intelligence of a monster with
‘human upper body’.
‘Damn it, this is the biggest disadvantage of the joint fixation: lower body.’
It was impossible to move.
The problem wasn’t just mobility.
Since Leeha’s lower body had hardened, it meant that his upper body cannot turn to an angle that exceeded the range of movement of his waist.
It meant that he could only listen to the chatter of the monsters behind his back, just like now.
“Kuooong—!”
Puhwaaak! Koma roared and fired another fireball, but the harpies were able to avoid it if they were prepared for the attack.
“Kiririrt! That bear is male too! All males must be killed!”
“Kyaat, kyaaat!”
The harpies, who avoided the fireball by turning round and round like aerobatics, and shouted once more.
“I don’t know why you hate men so much- ay, I don’t want to talk about it, but you keep talking about it. Koma! Keep an eye on my back!”
“Kuoooong!”
Leeha confirmed the huge shadow cast behind his back and inspected the corpse under his feet.
Aello, the harpy field boss, still remained.
“Now, let’s see what items dropped.”
[Rare Gale of Feathers Cap]
Defense: 980
Effect:
Agility +15
Buff – The one who rules the wind
Requirement:
Strength 90 or higher
Agility
1,500 or higher
Explanation: The origin of Aello, the queen of harpies, is ‘gale’. Even wind spirits hold their breath in front of the feathers of the harpy doyenne who rules all winds.
Additional Effect:
When 5 or more sets are equipped you will learn the skill – Fly
“Oh? A cap. And it’s rare…. Well, even this should be good.”
Maybe it’s because he had seen too many heroic and legendary items.
Even after seeing a rare item, which can be said to be the highest rank item for general users, Leeha wasn’t impressed.
‘That’s the only option. There’s no attack speed or movement speed increase? Is learning fly the only thing that it’s worth using for? If I learn that, I would be able to fly! I think I could go for it…… but I need to get 5 pieces.’
Field bosses appear intermittently with unclear cycles.
It was easy now because Leeha received a hint about the timing from Madam Ju, but it wouldn’t be like that in the future.
‘Most importantly…… I would need to equip 5 parts, so I have to take off this coat. Tsk.’
He had Drake’s heroic coat, so why would he want to wear the harpy set just to learn fly?
Leeha was skeptical about that point.
“I should just change my cap first. Come to think of it, the cap- the one I am wearing came from the boss I killed.”
Leeha took off the cap that he was wearing.
The hat was completely worn out and not even the leather’s original color remained.
It was an item that he got and used after hunting the field boss ‘Brown Bear’, it was also the first item Leeha looted.
‘The Brown Bear back then is different…… from my current soul mate.’
Leeha felt a strange feeling as he felt the warmth behind him.
“Okay! I like the description too! Let’s try using that thing called the wind spirit!”
It had a slightly shorter brim and rounder shape than the hats worn by Browless or Kidd.
But the feather stuck on the side of the hat became a point and Leeha put on a much more stylish hat on his head.
Hwaaa……!
Leeha smiled at the blue mana that wrapped around his body.
‘Okay. Then what about the buff-’
[The one who rules the wind]
Description: It is the reason why the feather that Aello shoots does not slip even in the face of strong wind.
Effect: Wind speed and wind direction is not applied to projectiles
(Effect only activates if combat assistance system is not applied)
Leeha opened the description window of the buff and read it. Meticulously.
“Huh?”
It was only natural for his eyes to widen.
“Uh, ohhh?”
The harpies were still clattering and screaming behind him, but Leeha could not hear any sound.
It was because he understood exactly what the buff meant.
“This is freakin awesome!”
It meant that everything he shot using ranged weapons were not affected by the wind! Of course, it would attractive to other users, but was a useless buff.
‘Because it only works when combat assistance system is turned off! It is raer to find a ranged dealer who would give up their range just to ignore wind direction and speed!’
Why would they turn off the combat assistance system that automatically fires and has accury with the range written in the description of the weapon?
Leeha had seen it before, but it was no exaggeration to say that there very few users like that.
It could only be occassionally seen on rankers or famous outsiders, who used their weapons in real life or were able to regain their range through bloody effort in Middle Earth.
‘But- but to me- this is totally……’
Leeha held the Black Bass while standing.
