Chapter 274
Episode 274:
A thunderbolt of terror!
The fireworks falling from the sky made the volcano shine even more brilliantly.
Grrrr!
It’s said to consistently inflict sustained damage, but how many creatures can survive in this sea of fire?
X, who was looking at the flames, opened his mouth.
“…Can I use this properly?”
It wasn’t just the name that struck me.
So fast that it is invisible to the eye.
Gyeophwa’s thunderbolt was a magic that could not be easily avoided unless one had excellent senses.
If it were for its original purpose, it would have been used as a check to steal the opponent’s timing.
However, users are overly cautious.
It was X who possessed mana that surpassed that of an archmage or great sage. Gyeophwa’s thunderbolt, which used 5% of its vast mana, was superior to the main moves of most high-ranking wizards.
X made a cool assessment.
‘It can be used well in real life as well.’
X’s actual standards were very high.
Even if you weren’t good at hunting, you had to be over level 1500 to be able to call it a real battle.
However, after using it myself, I came to the conclusion that Gyeophwa’s thunderbolt could inflict significant damage even to ultra-high level monsters.
X looked at his fingers.
“If that’s not enough, I also have this amazing ring.”
-Ring of the Sun (Legendary)
A ring made with the energy of the sun. It looks unusual for a celestial object.
Limit: Intelligence 10000↑
Special effect: The power of fire attribute magic increases by 100%.
Simple limitations and effects indeed.
However, its appearance and practicality went without saying. A solar ring that emits strong light from X’s finger. The brilliant light seemed like it could be used as a torch.
The corners of the mouth rise naturally.
“Kyuut. “What’s so good about it?”
“huh? “No, nothing.”
Yongyong, who was walking around the lava, has returned.
I purified the rune stone and acquired a new skill. There was nothing more to do in this volcano.
“Oops.”
X, who was descending from the volcano, stopped.
“No matter how urgent we are, we can’t leave such a precious specialty product behind.”
A blade of grass growing between volcanic stones. With a satisfied smile, X quickly stretched out his hand.

Dallas and Danwoo were witnessing a new world. Dallas’ jaw is gaping.
“It’s really new, but we still have a long way to go.”
“…Iknow, right.”
The true master of Fate World!
NPCs were clearly proving their value and abilities. The martial artist Kang Cheol-hu easily dealt with the monsters that flocked to him with simple movements.
A whopping level 620.
Explorers, most of whom were level 300 to 400, were strong enemies that could not be overcome.
However, in front of Cheol-hoo, the egg ghost was nothing more than a raw egg.
Kwajak!
An egg ghost fell to the dirt floor in vain after a single blow. The party members burst into cheers.
“oh my god.”
“Did you just see it? Pop! I got hooked! do…!!”
“Wow, I never thought I’d be doing party hunting like this.”
The leader of the party that Cheol-hoo belonged to was Dan-woo. Thanks to this, Dan-woo and other party members were able to check Cheol-hoo’s level. Dallas folded his fingers and started calculating.
“At the time of opening, the level of Knight Commander Arba was in the 700s… Even if he grew faster than average, I think the old man Cheolganghu would be about 100 levels ahead at best?!”
Steel Hu’s level is a whopping 900!
He had a force comparable to that of the general of Arba.
If you think about it, it was natural. Because Cheolganghu was also the right-hand man who assisted the crown prince of the Hua Empire.
Danwoo’s thoughts suddenly reached Arba’s general, Bastard.
‘…Did Kaimus defeat such a monster so easily? Did you completely subdue Kaimus?’
Shaking my head.
When I thought about that, it felt like the balance of power became strange. Danwoo shook his head.
The divided parties carried out their duties without any major crisis. But a cat can’t just pass by a fish store.
Occasionally, when I stopped by a small town, I did not forget to make friends in advance.
Someone said proudly.
“These small good deeds are bound to come back many times the moment the East Continent is fully revealed. “If you live a good life, you will be blessed.”
Dallas also completely agreed with that opinion.
“sure. “I am also living a good life.”
As I said, Asus was on a strange job quest. With this good deed, you can complete forgotten quests and accumulate runestone blessings.
It could be said that it killed two birds with one stone.
Around the waterfall.
Some distance away, Asus was streaming.
Chats pouring in.
The majority of chats were about the ending of the East Continent.
-Where is X and what is he doing now??
-From what I can see, Asus looks like something obvious? Haha
– Ha ha, he ran away.
“Oh, you ran away. “How do you see me?”
Asus was itching to speak.
Right now, ‘X has defeated another being!’ I wanted to spread the word about the neighborhood.
But won’t the Fate highlights air tomorrow? There was no need to break the ice by saying anything.
Asus held back and continued speaking.
“Okay, let’s talk nonsense later. We turned on the broadcast to show you the rune stones of the Eastern Continent. Besides, isn’t the eastern continent’s dungeon something that can’t be left out?”
-They are busy broadcasting that they ran away to the rune stone and the dungeon
. -Dungeon?! Dungeon break also occurred on the East Continent?!
-Are the East Continent dungeons as unique as the New Continent?
A topic that changes slowly.
Asus replied slyly.
“Are you curious? So, let’s find that dungeon with me. Wouldn’t my job be a legendary explorer? “With this magnifying glass and a thread, I can find an amazing dungeon…”
X’s broadcasting skills learned from over his shoulder! It was Asus that really caught the attention of viewers.

Arba!
The capital of the kingdom, which had become a ghost town, was unable to perform its function.
In effect, the Kingdom of Arba was disbanded. Thanks to this, the area around Arba was infested with thieves looking to rob empty houses.
“Dangerously.”
Uncomfortable iron helmet.
Even the angular and rugged breastplate.
Jincheol, a gladiator who had just taken off his youth, was very dissatisfied.
Although he is a stone that has been rolled around, he has the personality of not being able to endure it. Jincheol asked the party leader.
“Hey, leader. Why are you leaving the safe road and going near Arba? “Isn’t our destination the desert of oblivion?”
“Hey, Jincheol, you only know one thing, but not the other.”
“what?”
The man who spoke as if he was giving a reprimand was Bard Pau.
Priests are rare due to the runestone purification boom. Even Vadra was a welcome addition to the hastily organized party.
Ding ding!
Pau plucked the strings of the lute he was holding, scratching Jincheol’s nerves.
“It’s broad daylight, but do you think there’s a band of thieves blocking day and night? “If you go to the Desert of Oblivion and come across a group of thieves, then you will have earned a full day’s wages.”
There was no bounty on the bandits. Because there was no country offering a bounty. Jincheol was able to understand Pau’s words right away.
“Are we going to earn gold by intercepting stolen goods from thieves?”
“Well, it’s not a bad thing, is it?”
“Tsk, it’s out of shape.”
Jincheol did not like the judgment of the party leader and Pau. The reality of being tight for money was enough.
Even in Fate, I didn’t want to be a slave to gold. Jincheol spoke to the party leader.
“If such a situation arises, I will not be involved.”
“As you wish.”
“I actually welcome the reduction in my share.”
Ding ding.
In fact, Pau, who was really good at fighting, helped out.
“Let’s see where the thieves are?”
After walking for about 10 minutes, the walls of Arba came into view. The half-collapsed walls look as if tentacles will pop out at any moment, let alone being repaired.
Jincheol shifted his gaze towards the Desert of Oblivion.
‘There are quite a lot of people.’
Find the Rune Stone!
There was something in common where the contaminated rune stones were located.
It is a heterogeneous environment that does not fit with the surroundings.
There was a high probability that contaminated rune stones existed in the Desert of Oblivion, located in the very center of the continent, right next to the large city of Arba.
Pau said in a calm tone.
“They’re having a hard time in the scorching sun.”
In fact, he sold his conscience for gold.
Jincheol, offended, immediately frowned.
‘I just wish I could quickly go to the desert of oblivion.’
However, because it was a market day, the party soon encountered thieves. The party members quickly took up a fighting stance. The leader shouted.
“Stop, you thieves!”
“It’s a surprise. “What are those?”
There are five thieves in total.
There was one more person than Jincheol’s party. Of course, Jincheol had no intention of participating in the battle.
Question and answer dance.
Anyway, the purpose of the party was the stolen goods by the thieves.
“let’s go! Search, you bastards!”
“Did the little ones jump out of the stomach!”
“Whispers of the Spirit.”
Buff magic rampant!
It seems that there are wizards among the thieves. Jincheol slowly stepped back.
‘…I’m glad I missed this?’
The level of the thieves was unusual.
visor!
As the leader and a thief competed, information about the thief also came to Jincheol’s mind.
The highest level leader in the party was level 270. Pau’s level was only 180. The leader must have noticed something unusual and shouted at Jincheol.
“If this continues, everyone will die. “Let’s join!”
“I made it clear that I would not be involved.”
“Are you really going to do this so heartlessly?”
puck!
A leader who allowed a joint attack. Looking at his earnest eyes, Jincheol sighed deeply.
“Ugh, I’m kind so I’m wearing a mask. really.”
Shashashak!
Jincheol immediately raised his sword and shield and advanced. Jincheol’s level is only 230, so fighting against thieves is a daunting task.
However, Jincheol’s fighting sense was considerable.
bang!
Block surprise attacks with reflexes and steal the enemy’s timing with flexible continuous movements.
Jincheol moved with agility that put his heavy iron armor to shame. A thief who was hit by a shield stumbled.
“What kind of shield is that heavy?”
“I can’t believe I’m having a hard time with guys like that. “They’re like idiots.”
The momentum changed with Jin-cheol joining.
But Jincheol thought that it had finally come. A large man who appeared to be a captain stepped forward holding a sword.
Pau struck the candle without notice.
“Hehe! Even if I can’t do it, I think I’ll be level 400…”
Although Pau was a bit obnoxious, Jincheol also had the same thought. Jincheol tightened his grip on his shield.
‘Can we stop it?’
I should try it.
bang!
Jincheol, who competed with the bandit leader, was thrown onto the sandy floor. It was an overwhelming difference in power.
Vitality plummeted.
Jincheol gritted his teeth.
“Anyway, being nice only causes losses.”
You can’t run away, and this is how you die. At the time when Jincheol was lamenting his own foolishness.
Slut!
Sigh!
“Oops!”
A dagger flew from behind and pierced the head of the bandit leader.
Surprised, Jincheol turned his head and was even more surprised.
It was a war machine with the familiar gear design on its shoulder. Even though it started late, Jincheol was quite familiar with the flow of fate.
A friend I knew during my short study abroad period became a well-known named user on Fate.
‘What’s going on with War Machine?’
Quite a number of people.
However, War Machine’s leader, Resorcerer, was currently nowhere to be seen. At that time, the only man with clean shoulders spoke up.
“You look skinny, but you move well. Are you particularly good at using a shield? “You think it’s a shield soldier?”
“…thank you.”
This man is Dazel.
Jincheol was startled by the sudden appearance of a celebrity. As expected, Dazel had a lot to say.
“Looking at his equipment, he looks like a gladiator. Isn’t that interesting? How was it possible to avoid death after being attacked by that pig? “The sloppy Bard’s buff wouldn’t have had much effect.”
Jincheol responded indifferently.
“Well, it’s thanks to having a good teacher.”
“teacher? “Who is your teacher?”
“My master is Narville’s… No, I’m grateful that you saved me, but is there any reason for me to even answer that? Let’s go on our way. “We will go our own way.”
Literally a field of named users.
Even in front of that, Jincheol’s momentum did not break. Dazel let out a chuckle and nodded.
“Well, that’s right. “There is important work to be done here too.”
It’s important?
Soon, the War Machine guild members entered Arba. They said they could catch someone… Could it be that they came to meet Kaimus?
Jincheol, who was struggling, muttered.
“…I’m not sure, but should I at least send a whisper to Asus?”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
