Episode 14: The Unexpected Encounter

 

“Why do you always fight in reckless situations? Is it Ssamdak? For ssamdak, kkukku is enough.”

“Why do you always fight in reckless situations? Do you have a death wish? For things like this, Kkukudaku is strong enough. 

 

These were the words the old man said one day after clearing the dungeon.

 

Why bother taking on the risk when you can just give up and leave the dungeon?

 

If you die, you just drop the item and it’s a loss.

If you die, you’ll just drop your items and it’ll be a huge loss for you.

 

Dohyun answered the question that the old man asked, wondering what kind of person the luckiest person was.

 

“Aren’t you reckless too? what?”

 

“… Then, blood splatters and suddenly something like a raid boss appears as a mid-boss. Isn’t it reckless to rush in at once?”

 

“Hmm. But I caught it, right?”

 

“… It’s true, but it’s dangerous.”

 

At that time, Dohyun couldn’t understand what he was saying.

 

That there is no need to take risks and fight?

 

Even Dohyun knows that.

 

But… 

 

‘What is reckless?’

 

The problem was that Dohyun never fought recklessly.

 

You never know when a huge reward awaits you or when you discover a hidden piece.

 

As Dohyun was less fortunate than anyone else, he had no intention of taking risks that were not worth it.

 

I just caught it because it was worth catching.

 

“Puhaha! Right. Grab it because it’s worth catching. Everything you said is correct.”

 

“… In fact, when Kaiser wanted to catch them, he caught them all.”

 

“and… Honestly, I don’t know about other times, but I think Kaiser is right this time? Why can’t I catch that?”

 

“I agree.”

 

Upon hearing those words, Kkukudaku and Geomje reacted, and Mr. Bora said, ‘Ugh, this is why they are called talented people…’ … I used to work my ass off ‘.

 

Of course, after seeing Dohyun succeed every time, Mr. Bora no longer had any doubts.

 

‘Ugh, yes. If you do it, it will work.’ Even though he grumbled, he just followed along.

 

And Dohyun always repaid that trust.

 

Fault!

 

It was still like that now.

Even now, he was still like that.

 

“What… now?” … !?”

 

“It’s dangerous! We have to run away quickly!”

 

The companions urgently shouted at Dohyun, who rushed at him just as they were trying to run away, but Dohyun did not feel threatened at all.

 

‘Goblins – thirteen. Seven daggers, four blunt weapons, two poisonous needles…’

 

Just calmly understand your opponent and quickly assess the situation.

 

After making his decision, the first thing Dohyun targeted were the goblins with poisonous needles.

 

‘This is easy.’

 

Since ancient times, neutralizing long distances has been a basic condition when dealing with a large number of people.

 

If he was alone, he could have just gone for another goblin instead, but now that he has companions, there was no need to create unnecessary variables.

 

Kwasik!

 

He quickly swats away the goblin’s hand that is trying to shoot a poisonous needle at his face and then snaps it’s neck, and the goblin next to him belatedly rushes in.

 

As he pushed the goblin with its neck broken, the one who was running at him tripped and fell.

 

Suddenly!

 

In the meantime, Dohyun cuts down another goblin with poisonous needle that was looking at him blankly.

 

[You used the skill ‘Bang’.]

 

[Critical hit!]

 

[You have defeated the Green Goblin.]

 

[‘Kaiser’ obtained the Green Goblin’s skin through public distribution.]

 

He cut it’s throat and stabbed it in the heart, and it collapsed.

 

And just as the goblin falls, Dohyun stabs the slumped goblin in the back.

 

Sigh! Phew!

 

Kieeek! Keck!

 

Before he knew it, the surrounding goblins interfered by stabbing him with daggers, but Dohyun did not stop stabbing them.

 

A few cuts were enough to endure.

He thought a few cuts could be endured.

 

The poisonous needle finally put an end to that persistent madness.

The Goblins with poisonous needles were finally put to an end..

 

[Critical hit!]

 

[You have defeated the Green Goblin.]

 

A long-distance attacker who was wiped out in an instant.

The long-distance attackers were wiped out in an instant.

 

There is no one to disturb you now. From now on it was a melee.

There is no one to disturb us now. From now on it’s hand-to-hand combat.

 

At the same time, Dohyun’s movements changed.

 

As if he had only seen one guy for a while, Dohyun moved around and disturbed their siege.

As if he was the only one present on the field,, Dohyun moved around and disturbed their siege.

 

Suddenly – boom!

 

Swish- Kwasik! fault!

 

Avoiding the attack of the dagger, stabbing from the front line with minimal movement, he immediately responds with his joints.

 

Normally, A guy wielding a blunt weapon picks up a goblin with a broken joint and hits it instead, or throws it to knock it down, and while it is struggling, he attacks the guys next to it. That was the usual strategy

Swish-.

 

KEEEK!

 

Even then, if they ambush you, they will recognize you like a ghost and chase you away.

Even then, if you ambush them, they will recognize you and chase you like a ghost.

 

The goblins let out cries in a battle that felt like they had eyes on their backs, but those cries soon turned into deathly screams.

 

And in the process, Dohyun discovered an interesting fact.

 

[Weapon Master’s effect removes the wearing restrictions.]

 

[With the adventurer’s effect, you can use the dagger’s basic skill ‘Punch through the gap’.]

[With the adventurer’s effect, you can use the dagger’s basic skill ‘Vital Strike’.]

 

[Weapon Master’s effect removes the wearing restrictions.]

 

[With the adventurer’s effect, you can use the basic blunt weapon skill ‘Swing’.]

 

‘This also works.’

 

When the adventurer used the Weapon Master to pick up the goblin’s weapon, the weapon’s basic skill was created.

 

I thought it would be great just to ignore the job restrictions and use the skills, but… It was a bigger gain than he expected.

 

‘Based on initial standards, there is nothing better than this.’

 

Compared to others who still only have one basic skill, they said that if you have a lot of weapons, you can overuse as many skills as you want.

Compared to others who still only have one basic skill, they said that if you can wield a lot of weapons, you can use as many skills as you want.

 

A morale ability that theoretically states that one can use up to 10 skills.

 

Whether it was Tyr’s duel or something else, at low levels, the person with the most skills was always the best.

 

Of course, this was also possible because of the characteristic of being a Weapon Master.

 

‘It’s an unexpected synergy effect.’

 

Dohyun grinned and quickly moved his hands.

 

He wanted to quickly test this cheat-like ability.

 

At that moment, while Dohyun was excited by the unexpected ability, a goblin was trying to attack him.

 

[You have used the skill ‘Poke through the gap’.]

[You have used the skill ‘Vital Strike’.]

 

[You pierced the opponent’s defense. Critical hit is applied.]

 

[You used the skill ‘Swing’.]

 

[Knocks back the opponent.]

 

The guy who stabs me with a dagger, uses the same dagger skills.

 

The guy wielding a blunt object snatched the object and threw it backwards, breaking the pot.

 

When it was a close fight where the bodies were close together, the dagger was used to stab vital points such as the neck, heart, and eyes. When the distance widened, the sword was used to cut. If the enemy felt surrounded, the position was forcibly secured by swinging.

 

A battle where you literally use every weapon as if it were your own.

 

[The proficiency of using blunt weapons increases.]

 

[Blunt skill proficiency becomes LV2.]

 

[Dagger mastery increases.]

 

[Dagger skill proficiency becomes LV2.]

 

[Sword mastery increases.]

 

[The swordsmanship proficiency becomes LV3.]

 

As a result, I was able to increase my proficiency in not only the sword but also two weapons.

 

Thanks to this, the accuracy has become more detailed and the power has been further increased.

 

Even if you use the same swing, you will be knocked back farther, and if you use a hard strike, you can take it down more easily.

 

‘Isn’t this fun?’

 

It was fun to have a harvest to deal with.

 

As Dohyun, who received the quest, ran amok more violently, the goblins looked pitiful.

 

“and… .”

 

“… What am I looking at?”

 

“crazy… .”

 

The group could not keep their mouths shut at the astonishing sight.

 

“No, what is this?”

 

When he suddenly jumped in, I thought for a moment that he was going crazy, but he immediately broke the poisonous needle’s neck and started fighting alone.

 

I’ve only defeated four so far, but for some reason I didn’t think that he would lose.

 

If we leave it like this, won’t it be those goblins who will eventually fall?

 

As soon as he thought about it, Chief Shield shouted.

 

“… We can’t just watch. Let’s help quickly!”

 

“Yes. uh… That’s how it should be.”

 

“Yes! Let’s try to do that!”

 

The two people who were trying to run away started supporting fire after holding up the shield that the Chief Shield had put down again.

The two people who were trying to run away started supporting, by firing attacks after Chief Shield held up the shield that he had put down again.

 

A battle that seemed hopeless became possible.

 

Push! Phew!

 

Pow!

 

KEEEK! Keck!

 

No, it actually became advantageous.

 

The goblins, who had been distracted by Dohyun alone, couldn’t come to their senses when even the party member joined in, and Mi-Gan and Yubin threw attacks freely as if they were hitting a punching bag.

 

This was a change brought about by just one person.

 

‘… Does this make sense?’

 

Chief Shield did not understand this situation.

 

What level 1 person can fight against thirteen goblins?

 

This was impossible even for high-ranking rankers.

 

Typically, a group of 4 level 1 goblins can kill a group of five goblins.

 

If you are a skilled party, you can catch more than that, but if you are a party of veteran players, you have to go a bit overboard to catch even ten.

 

‘But you’re fighting thirteen animals by yourself?’

 

Of course, the number of kills that man alone had was only five… But for some reason, Chief Shield thought that if he had left it as is, he would have caught them all in the end.

 

That’s because it happened so quickly.

 

‘At that moment, that man’s nickname caught my eye.’

 

‘Kaiser.’

 

At first, I thought he was just a fan and didn’t think much of it… .

 

Was it just my mood that made me think that, that may not necessarily be the case?

 

If ‘Kaiser’ was said to have been ranked higher than ‘Annihilation’ during the Demrok era, then this ridiculous situation is understandable.

 

The movements are like the embodiment of Battle-God… .

 

‘No way.’

 

However, Chief Shield immediately shook his head.

 

Kaiser, whom he had not heard any news from even when he was receiving public attention, suddenly started after 1 year and 6 months?

 

And that’s because he’s at his own party starting today?

And on top of that, he’s playing in ‘His’ party?

 

‘It’s so unrealistic.’

 

When people are faced with a truth they cannot handle, they have a habit of recognizing it as an illusion.

 

That was the case with him now.

 

Rather than overcoming such absurd odds and joining Kaiser in its first start, it was more natural to think that he was overthinking things.

 

To put it bluntly, The party didn’t really catch all 13 of them. It just seemed like that. It was done by one man alone.

 

‘I heard that Kaiser Jinseong fans have a lot of talent… Are you that fan of Yan Yan?’

‘I heard that some of the Kaiser fans have a lot of talent… Are you one of those fans?’

 

That’s why Chief Shield expressed his admiration and focused on hunting. From the beginning, He thought that the party’s luck was very good.

 

I had no idea that Kaiser was really right.

He had no idea that Dohyun was really Kaiser.

 

* * *

 

[You have defeated the Green Goblin.]

 

[As a public reward, ‘Kaiser’ obtains the Green Goblin’s skin.]

 

[Your level has increased.]

 

After killing the last goblin, Dohyun lowered his sword at the message that came to mind.

 

Then, as soon as the sword was lowered, an exclamation erupted.

 

“Wow… I really caught this.”

 

“This is my first time doing something like this.”

 

“It’s crazy, really. It was so much fun.”

 

“Honestly, I was a little worried because the battles were too realistic, but it was so much fun. I’m really looking forward to seeing what the boss will be like.”

 

The companions’ voices were filled with tremors, as if the excitement of the battle had not yet subsided.

 

They were talking about the previous battle, as if they were excitedly talking about the movie after watching a masterpiece.

 

And of course, the main attraction was Dohyun.

 

“Really… Wow, Kaiser, you’re awesome. No, how can people even move like that?”

 

“It’s my first time seeing something like that. Do you learn martial arts or something?”

 

“Where did you even learn that kind of martial art? Are you from special forces or something? I almost fell in love with a man like him, Oppa.”

 

“Is it an illusion that I somehow think of Charlie when I see Mi-Gan and Yu Bin’s expressions?”

 

The players could see the real name tags of others with their permission. The party decided to share their real name tags instead of showing fake party names to each other.

 

Everyone almost had the same name tag as their nick-name.

 

But, in the case of Mi-Gan’s name tag, the title was changed to Hyungnim.

 

‘I was just hearing it with one ear, but I couldn’t help but be stung by what he said afterward.’

 

“The real nickname is coming. Isn’t this really Kaiser?”
