360. Leore (3)

Arang’s planned auction was naturally canceled.

Pinku Berry-nim herself stepped up on Arang’s fan cafe to summarize the various issues that had recently arisen.

The most important thing among them was, of course, Arang’s condition.

Anyone could see that Arang’s condition wasn’t normal. She couldn’t even succeed at parrying.

Parrying itself is a considerably difficult technique, but Arang was a user who could do it even with her eyes closed, so the fact that she didn’t parry even once while catching a field boss was quite serious.

Pinku Berry-nim talked with Anna and decided to partially disclose Arang’s condition.

Arang was already too famous, and the video of her fight with the Orc Chieftain had spread too widely.

They could erase all the records, but they couldn’t erase the memories of the people who saw it.

In the end, if all those records disappeared, it would only create bigger misunderstandings and problems.

Regarding Arang’s condition, they only explained that she hadn’t been feeling well recently. The problem was that even that alone made many people worry, so they also wrote down what Arang had said to the Munchkin Cat Guild members.

Of course, that didn’t solve everything, but it did alleviate it to some extent.

While everyone was worried about Arang’s health, Arang herself was agonizing over whether or not her chest would grow.

While adventuring to find hidden dungeons, of course.

Arang’s every move now started to be posted on the Arang Gallery, not the Leore Gallery.

This was something that users couldn’t help but pay attention to, even if they didn’t want to.

Arang and Marang are still wandering around. The problem is that both of them are close to disasters in the eyes of the users.

Because both Arang and Marang are active as world bosses, and even now, countless users are swept away in large-scale events once a week.

When Aring-i wanted to, Arang would come out, and when Arang had something to do or was annoyed, Marang would come out and massacre the users.

With the two of them wandering around, it was impossible not to notice them.

==

,There’s nothing here…”

I abandoned the world story and came outside to find a hidden dungeon, but I couldn’t find anything.

Well, when I think about it, finding one is almost impossible.

Considering the number of Leore users, there’s a high probability that they’ve already found everything. So, I have to explore places that haven’t been explored yet, but it’s a search with no end in sight.

I was walking while listening to the natural sounds around me when I heard an alien sound that was completely different from nature.

Sasa sasa sak.

Something was approaching us quickly, no, very quickly, through the bushes that came up to my knees.

‘It’s a monster.’

The fact that I could barely hear it and that it was approaching means that the monster running towards us also has incredibly good senses. And judging from the sound, it’s definitely not a person.

,Mom?”

When I stopped walking, Marang also stopped following me. But it seems like Marang can’t hear this sound.

,It’s a monster. The strategy is the same. You know?”

,Yes! Trust me, Mom!”

Marang must have heard it now because she looked in the direction the monster was approaching, even though I didn’t tell her which direction it was.

About 5 seconds.

That’s how much earlier I heard it than Marang.

Since Marang has the same senses as me, this shows how sensitive my senses have become.

It seems like I really do have sensory overload. I don’t know why, but it seems like I don’t have any side effects.

Marang and I got into position and guarded the direction the sound was coming from.

Pishung!

The moment I heard the sound of the air tearing as a projectile flew by, I immediately raised my swordㅡ

Peok!

,Ugh…!”

A giant thorn barely grazed my sword and pierced my shoulder, and an enormous amount of damage instantly took away half of my health.

‘Wait, half of my health disappears from a single ranged attack?’

This is damage that doesn’t seem like it’s from a simple monster.

,Eek…! Eeeee!!!”

The impact of the thorn piercing my shoulder sent me flying backward, and I rolled on the ground.

But with my amazing physique, I naturally jumped up and immediately got into position.

I was determined to dodge the next attack, and the moment I raised my head, the world was turning red.

,Huh? Uh oh? W, wait a minute!”

It’s not just a figure of speech, it’s really changing.

,Hehehehe. How dare you hurt my mom? I’ll kill you.”

‘Oh no. This is bad.’

I was just trying to have a quiet adventure, but it’s all ruined.

The sky is turning red like paint spreading.

If this continues, the system AI will move.

It’s not that the entire Leore world is turning red, but it’s turning red around the user who’s using the power, and of course, it fades the farther away you get.

In other words, it wouldn’t take more than a minute to find the person who caused this. You can just run in the direction that’s getting darker. Of course, it would take much longer if your speed is low.

,Dieeee!”

Kwaaaaaaaaang!!!

She doesn’t have the same senses as I do right now, but the one with overwhelming power in Leore is Marang.

The giant insect-type monster that was in front of me was simply deleted by Marang’s skill. And the surrounding terrain too.

Marang was sealing her power, but she got angry and released it, deleting the monster.

The reason she was sealing it was that the moment Marang moves as a boss, it’s designated as a world-class quest.

Because in the story, Marang and I are the bosses of the 5th World faction.

And she did it this spectacularly? The system AI would have immediately sent a quest to the users.

With an enormous reward that would make them come no matter what.

From the users’ point of view, it’s a quest with no losses.

There’s no big penalty for dying in Leore. There’s no penalty other than being resurrected in a nearby city.

In that situation, what if you get incredibly lucky and I make a mistake or there’s a problem with my connection device and I’m declared dead, and you succeed in the quest?

A reward that would make even a regular person gasp would come in.

So, no matter how strong Marang and I are, the users will come running like crazy.

,Ah…”

Marang, who knew that from adventuring with me several times, also started to look around nervously after causing such a ruckus.

Well, there’s nothing I can do about it.

Tting.

I Arang

Your current state is not normal.

While returning to your normal weight, your body has suddenly become heavy and your senses are a mess thanks to the system that has been giving me limbs until now.

There’s no inconvenience in daily life, but parrying in Leore, where 0.1cm is important, is a very big problem.

Normal combat is possible. However, the ultra-precise combat that surpassed AI levels, which was my specialty, is impossible.

Fighting numerous users in that situation will be very difficult.

But this fight won’t be too difficult.

This isn’t the battlefield content that opens once a week.

The top guilds gather all the buff items and doping items to do the battlefield content once a week.

Unlike raids, all items can be used, so they gather so much that you wonder if these items really existed.

That’s the only way they can fight me or Marang.

But what about now?

They’re just guys who are rushing to catch me first. It’s a sudden quest, so the Mead Guild and other guilds didn’t have time to prepare.

I separately released the sealed world boss skill.

Instead of Marang, who had been emitting black and red aura until just now, black and red aura started to flow from my body.

Marang was ultimately created to replace me, so only one of us can be in boss state.

With my stats going up like crazy, I charged in the direction I heard the sound coming from.

Just like the thorn attacked me earlier, I ran out with tremendous speed, creating a sonic boom.

The scenery changed in an instant, and I made eye contact with a user who was running to catch me.

,Huh uh uh?”

Using a single-target skill on the user who was greatly embarrassed to see me suddenly appear in front of them, I attacked the user in half, and at the same time, a red effect accurately cut the user’s body in half, turning them into particles and exploding.

,What the fuck! Shua!”

,S, suddenly it flew like a bullet!”

,Arang? Marang?”

,You idiot! She’s wearing armor! It’s Arang!”

After killing one guy by swinging my sword, the three users who came to their senses immediately got into battle stance.

Time slowed down, and I quickly identified the three users.

A tank swordsman in the front. A ranged wanderer behind the tank, and a healer bard in the back.

It’s a pretty safe party, but it can’t be called a perfect party.

There’s no melee dealerㅡ Ah, the one I just killed was the melee dealer.

The swordsman in the front swung his giant greatsword at me, and at the same time, the wanderer aimed at me with a giant bow, and the healer bard was about to start playing to give buffs.

I admired that party.

I thought they were just regular users, but they’re a party with surprisingly good teamwork. Even though the melee dealer just died, they immediately came to their senses and are moving to have a perfect battle.

The problem is that they came too hastily.

It’s ridiculous that they thought the word “world boss” meant that a party of four could come.

Even though my body isn’t in good condition and they came with some luck, this is too thoughtless.

It’s just that I can’t parry, but normal movement is possible. In the beginning, I couldn’t adapt and I was falling even when hitting scarecrows, but now my form has improved to the point where I can do field boss solo runs again.

Or were they just trying to figure out my location and run away?

Well, my recognition range is abnormally wide right now.

I can recognize sounds that even Marang can’t recognize first.

My one-handed sword, parrying or whatever, just deflected the greatsword that was aiming for me with my world boss stats.

Instead of the light sound that symbolizes parrying, a dull sound echoed.

The greatsword went up with my strength, creating an opening, and I passed the greatsword user and charged forward again.

The bard, who was casting a heal, hurriedly tried to move, expecting the greatsword user to be attacked, but my other-mind sword was already stuck in the bard’s neck.

After the healer died, the 4-man party was annihilated.

‘Avoid fighting multiple enemies and take them down one by one.’

I ran to the place where I felt the fewest number of users from the sounds coming from all directions.
