The Echo of the Ghost, aka ‘Grave Hunting Ground’, was a very efficient hunting ground.

Because the scale is so large, monsters of various levels appear.

Fast regen speed. Above average experience. Optimized for party hunting, etc.

Despite its many advantages, Echo of the Ghosts was an unpopular hunting ground.

Why is that?

According to what Akachan analyzed during the beta test period.

The monsters that appear are so scary and disgusting.

Because they are of the undead type, they do not die easily, so hunting fatigue is severe.

Because of the way monsters are summoned by digging the ground, there were many surprising things.

In other words, it was a very mentally tiring hunting ground.

“Gyaaaah!”

“···.”

I blankly watched Suzuka running away from the skeleton that had dug up the grave and risen up.

‘Is it that scary?’

There are many friends who have worse visuals than that.

Rather, that crude skeleton was rather cute.

Just think about it, it’s just a skeleton walking around.

It’s not even holding a cold weapon. Just think of it as a bone separated from a bare body.

“Eww··· Go away, go away! Bright light!”

Parsac-

The light that burst out from the small cross turned him into dust.

With one click of a mouse, you erase a newborn skeleton from this world, while being scared.

No matter how you look at it, shouldn’t the undead be the ones to be afraid of?

Grrr-

“Isn’t it cute in its own way?”

I pointed to the zombies approaching slowly and asked Suzuka.

It looked human, except that the flesh was corroded and the skin was perforated like a pair of jeans with holes in it.

“Not at all! Not at all! It’s the cold light cooldown, so catch it quickly!”

Hmm. Is it worth freaking out?

In the first place, I’ve killed many boss monsters that were much more disgusting than zombies.

I extended my hand to the zombie that had come close to my nose.

Kwajik-!

“I got bitten by Ferra! What should I do!”

Ferra was my sub-character’s nickname.

You might misunderstand that there is a lewd intention behind the nickname, but that is not the case at all.

Occult. Aurora. Opera.

As I was recalling the mistakes in the stream of consciousness,

I just took the name of the opera and decided on a nickname.

Never, ever. That’s not the nickname I intended.

“It’s okay. Heal.”

Eww- Eww-

The zombie that was eating my hand fell over, clutching its stomach.

I found it funny because it looked like he had a stomachache after eating spoiled food.

“Huh? The zombie suddenly died.”

“If you do it like this, the zombies will die.”

I wanted to explain the principles of divine power, but I held back.

A user with a suspiciously high level of knowledge about Akare?

Such users were usually easily suspected of being the developer’s sub-account.

“Suzuka-san, would you like to try it too?”

“No way. Absolutely not. My body is precious.”

“Gasp.”

So does that mean my body isn’t precious?

When he stared at Suzuka with those eyes, Suzuka’s pupils trembled violently.

“Just kidding.”

“Whew···.”

Zombies respawned behind Suzuka, who let out a sigh of relief.

I immediately used the Judgement Hammer to strike the zombie’s head down.

A smile came to my face as I felt the thrill of playing whack-a-mole like I did as a child.

“I’m scared···.”

“It’s easy if you catch it like catching a mole.”

“Ugh··· I wish it were that easy.”

Zombies and skeletons are at level 9.

A level 10 monster that has completed its first awakening is an easy monster to hunt.

“Shall we level up and go catch some evil spirits?”

The place we were currently at was the entrance to a tomb where only zombies and skeletons appeared.

To hunt higher level monsters, you had to go a little further inside.

All monsters that appear inside the tomb are level 11.

Demons, ghouls, and skeleton knights.

Of these, the most difficult monsters were generally the demons.

Since evil spirits are spirits, they basically have a physical damage reduction buff.

It was a monster that was especially difficult for warriors and hunters to catch, and was nicknamed the Nightmare of the Warriors.

“Isn’t the evil spirit in the form of a spirit the most difficult monster inside the tomb?”

“The faith and belief in my heart. Everyone is equal before the cross.”

“That’s a comment with profound meaning.”

What on earth is the standard for a comment with such profound meaning?

“I want to try it out in real life.”

“I’ll give you a buff.”

I congratulate Suzuka for his fighting spirit.

Suzuka circled the tomb and drew aggro.

Dozens of undead chase after Suzuka.

‘It’s like a scene from a zombie movie.’

Suzuka stood still just before the duration of the blessing ended.

“The faith and belief in my heart. The cross… Huh? Heeek! Save me! ”

“Phuhhh!”

A monster respawned right next to Suzuka, who was giving her speech.

Oh, what a lack of luck.

I used a brilliant light instead of Suzuka, who was running away busily.

[Level Up!]

[Suzuka-sama’s broadcast has started. – Akashic Records 6 hours ago]

As of this late at night, the number of viewers for Suzuka’s broadcast was a whopping 50,000.

This was a higher figure than Sweet, who was in the late 40s, and Daehyeop Kim, who was in the mid 40s.

It was natural that the number of viewers would decrease as the flow was dispersed after the official launch.

However, the only one whose viewership did not decrease but rather increased was Suzuka.

[Streaming Gallery]

―――

Can you give me the nickname of Pera Nunna once… [265]

Pera Nuna’s realistic imagination.jpg [289]

Suzuka Oshihen Maryuun broth noodles dog food lol [344]

The character karma is so damn cute, you spitball [310]

Pera << If I debut as a YouTuber, I'll probably eat up the Virtuosi right away ㅇㅇ [325]

―――

The reason why Suzuka's viewership increased was simple.

Because the concept article of the streaming gallery was flooded with Suzuka Broadcasting related spoilers.

As the number of viewers who came in after seeing the comment gradually increased, it eventually reached number 1 in viewers.

"What, since when have you been watching this much?"

Suzuka, who had some free time while moving around the area, was surprised.

When I went to church alone, there were clearly about 20,000 people watching.

As many as 40,000 people were watching the broadcast in the wee hours of the morning when the number of viewers was decreasing.

―――

ㅁㄹ?

Don't you know?

It's dawn, why are there so many people?

Looks like the house guards are gathered

―――

Because it was Suzuka's broadcast where the toxicity often got in the way, there was a basic 3-month follow chat restriction.

Because of that, new viewers couldn't chat, and because of that, existing viewers didn't know why the number of viewers suddenly increased.

Of course, some people knew the reason, but they didn't bother to enter the chat to explain the reason.

If you chat about something sensitive, you could get banned by the manager.

'Are you spreading rumors on Streaming Gallery?'

Suzuka pretended not to know anything, but in fact she knew everything.

As a streamer, there are things you learn even if you don't want to know.

Streaming Gallery is a place where big companies have no choice but to get involved, whether they like it or not.

Since this kind of thing has happened before, I was just curious.

'I wonder why I was drawn to aggro.'

Suzuka's gaze turned to Pera, who was walking ahead.

'Is it because of this person?'

The only thing that was different from the usual broadcast was the fera.

'A person with a special charm.'

Don't you give your hand to a zombie? You put a heal on the bitten hand and feed the zombie divine power to catch it.

She was a woman with a charm that captivated people with her completely unexpected actions.

'Your voice is nice too.'

How much effort has gone into customizing the avatar?

Even when looking at other women, they were really pretty and beautiful, so it was nice to see.

'I'm greedy.'

I wanted to become close with you. I wanted to develop a special relationship.

Oh, not in that sense, but in the broadcasting sense.

More than anything, I enjoyed being away from the show and doing Akare with that person.

A person who is greedy both in gaming and broadcasting.

How can I seduce her? While Suzuka was pondering this, Ferra stopped walking.

"We've arrived. This is the area inside the tomb."

As Pera said, the atmosphere at the entrance to the tomb itself was definitely different.

It was a little more creepy and gloomy and gave me goosebumps.

'They even implemented something that gives you goosebumps.'

Akare is really a great game.

Thinking so, Suzuka stuck close to Pera and moved forward.

"Look, there's an evil spirit watching us."

"Yes, yes? Where. Where!"

Suzuka, who had stuck her head out, turned her head in the direction where Pera was looking.

"Is that it? Those eyes?"

"Yes. Is it because it's dark? I can only see several pairs of eyes. "

"Ugh··· This is really creepy!"

Although it was the job of a virtual YouTuber to act out virtual characters.

It was definitely not acting, just being scary.

I was so scared that I had to close my eyes tightly and I felt like crying.

"Coming soon."

"···!"

As Pera said, the evil spirit was slowly approaching.

A quadrupedal monster with human heads hanging from its side.

That's the so-called mental crusher, the evil spirit that is rumored.

"It moves like a crab."

"Don't just enjoy it with a peaceful analogy, but attack···."

Dadadadadad-

The evil spirit ran towards Suzuka at full speed.

Suzuka, who had lost all her energy from screaming so much, froze in place.

"Can you bless me?"

"Oh, oh, that···."

"Oh, it's broken."

There's nothing I can do.

Pure white light surrounds a small cross.

The small cross that Pera was holding turned into a sacred hammer.

Ferra took up her stance, holding the handle of the hammer with both hands.

There, there, there, there!

He swings his hammer with all his might at the evil spirit that approaches him, drooling dirty saliva.

Kwajik-!

The evil spirit was thrown out with a bone-crunching sound.

"Are you okay?"

"No, I'm not okay. I was too scared."

Suzuka, whose body had finally relaxed, was held in Pera's arms.

Sniff sniff sniff

"It is difficult to catch evil spirits with physical damage, so it is better to catch them while the Hammer of Judgement is still active."

"Huh?"

The duration of the Judgement's Hammer was approximately 10 seconds.

When the maintenance time ends, a 20 second cooldown is applied.

In other words, Pera's hammer was destined to disappear soon.

"Pera's hammer!"

"Oh no, the duration is over."

Heeek…!

The howling of an angry evil spirit was heard.

"Then what about that?"

"Suzuka-sama needs to catch it herself."

―――

How Generous Is the Temporary Hammer?

Destined to disappear, I am just grateful

Hahahaha this is a big problem

Show your unity in the chat window

Suzuka's emergency!

―――

Even in dire situations, the chat window was busy making jokes.

Suzuka shook her head violently, unable to find an answer.

"Crowd, crowd, crowd."

"Where is the crowd? Don't be afraid, you'll die with just one swing of the hammer. "

Suzuka's heart hardened at Pera's words.

I remembered my efforts to become stronger during the beta test because I wanted to stop seeing Raven die.

Although a week has passed since the beta test ended, the effort has not disappeared.

More than anything, I didn't want to show myself in a more ugly way.

To the viewers and to Ferra.

"Hoo··· Haa···."

He took up the hammer and took up a stance.

At the same time, the evil spirit regained its momentum and charged again.

I was scared, but I endured it and faced the horror before my eyes.

"I got a blessing. Fighting!"

Suzuka calmly followed the actions that Pera had shown her.

When it gets close to your nose, swing the hammer with all your might, carrying the weight of the hammer with you.

Kwajik-!

It sounded similar to what I had heard a little while ago.

Suzuka, who had unconsciously closed her eyes, slowly opened them.

"Ah, I did it."

Watching the evil spirits disintegrate into dust.

Suzuka sighed in relief and smiled.

***

While Suzuka and the party were hunting, a problem arose.

"···Why is this here?"

The holy sword, one of the religious relics of the church.

It was placed in an unidentified coffin, sealed.
