A Wild Last Boss Appeared
Chapter 5 | Last boss wildly accept request
The golem's fist swung in the air.
I had braced myself for any attacks, but their slow movements slowly put me to sleep. Very slow — too slow. Whatisthis? A kind of anime protagonist punch filled with hopes, dreams, and the power of friendship?
I could run to the store, buy an apple, eat it, come back, and still be able to return in time to fend off the blow.
What's with this half-and-half move? Am I being underestimated?
"It's some stiff golems, huh?"
Voicing my dissatisfaction, I jumped over the golem lightly. Then, with a tenth of my full strength, I pushed my heel down on the head. The stone statue was crumpled like paper, completely losing any resemblance to its original form.
… frail —. Too fragile.
The cardboard box will win in the competition of durability.
… Is it just me, or is the land too fragile?
"Master. No need to hold back, you know? Can you make their movements more natural? "
“...... eh? Ah, uh …? I — impossible ... si — golem defeated in an instant? What the hell just happened?"
"… Perhaps, did you .. not notice just now?"
Again, I consider the speed and power of the golem.
However, the confused face of the owner tells a different story.
Ah, so. Only me. It was not because the golems were too slow or too fragile, but because I was too fast and too strong. My concentration on the battlefield was so intense that it changed my perception of time.
"I understand .. so that is their strength. ”
The golem is level 5. That meant that general novice adventurers were also level 5. Instead, I am level 1000 and especially confident in terms of speed. As a result, their full speed appeared as sluggish movements from my point of view.
The mechanics in the game also work the same way. If the difference in agility was too great, a lower level player would never land a blow even if his opponent stood in place. It was also a good representation of my fight with the golems.
"It won't even work for heating. ”
I lightly smashed two more golems with my feet.
They barely give — resistance as if I was slicing butter. I did not feel the achievement of this short exchange of punches.
—Ah, this ...this is not even a fight anymore.
It was just a throw away match with a predetermined winner. It was just a mock battle to show off the winning power, and the only thing that was gained was an empty sensation like crushing an insect under your heels.
Nevertheless, this is an evaluation, so I don't have much choice but to continue.
Although I wasn't too sure what he could evaluate from watching me rampage aimlessly, I proceeded to destroy the remaining three golems.
I took a casual kick to the last golem. Even then, the golem was unable to dodge and fell to the ground without life.
Let me take back what I said about this as my previous "first taste of war. I haven't had a "battle" on this body.
"To-too fast .. is too strong .. a-what the fuck is this …"
The bar master disappeared with a trembling voice. His eyes were clouded with fear.
It's bad . Looks like we have a misunderstanding. Although I would rather not attract too much attention as I am now .. well, what was done was done. I'll try to remember this next time.
“Ruphas-sama, you are overreacting! The actual battle standard was much lower than it was 200 years ago! You will cause fear if you do not hold back! ”
Dina ran over and whispered hotly.
So now I know that the standard of fighting has declined over time.
Shouldn't you have told me before?
“Ah, I'm sorry, Dina, it looks like I've lost touch for 200 years. I misjudged my own abilities. ”
"Seriously, try to be a little more careful next time, okay?"
It seems that even exerting a tenth of my strength is excessive. Next time, a forehead movie should be enough to deal with this kind of opponent. Ah, but I can't move my hand, so kicking is my only option.
… I guess I just have to move as slowly as possible and kick the interlude as possible.
Anyway, how mysterious it is.
Normally, the world around me does not move at the speed of slow motion film. However, as I engaged in battle, the world around me slowed to a crawl. Basically, I can smoothly transition between normal perception fields into one that is more suitable for combat. I was probably saved by Ruphas' natural instinct.
"So what do you think? I have to think it was a perfect performance. ”
"You — yes ... it's true, you should have no problem with any request. The request board is inside the tavern, so please choose the one that suits your liking. ”
After receiving the owner's approval, Dina and I went back to the bar to look for the request board. However, after scanning the available jobs, I found that they all had no particular appeal. Frankly, I prefer tasks with cheaper rewards than some small jobs. I want to get to Suvell as soon as possible. An escort request for trainers traveling from Yudaril to Suvell would be ideal. In that case, I will be able to get some pocket money while heading to Suvell. Although I myself can fly in an instant, it means leaving Dina. By train, I could easily take Dina with me. .. was what I originally thought, but—
"Nothing good here, huh?"
"none. ”
Despite an escort request, the carriage was headed to Levatin instead. To say nothing about the fact that Levatin is in the opposite direction of Suvell. Unfortunately, we were unable to find a request that was in line with my expectations.
“Ah, Ruphas-sama. What do you think of this?"
"Hm?"
I glanced at the thin sheet that Dina lifted towards me.
【Request ・ Cat】 Search
Difficulty: ☆☆
Prize: 100 eru for each cat found
12 Our domestic pet cats have run off somewhere.
Please find them!
“1200 eru is best just to find 12 cats! What a good bargain! ”
“Ah, well, of course. ”
1200 Eru if the search goes well .. it must be cheap.
Eru is the currency of this world and if I am not mistaken, 1 eru is equivalent to about 200 Japanese yen (2 USD). Basically, that means completing this work earns a total of 240,000 yen (2,400 USD). Either the client was a cat lover, or they were wealthy aristocrats. After all, they live a luxurious lifestyle.
On a side note, even though it is an in-game conversion rate, the opposite may be true in reality. It is clear that between gaming currency and real money, the latter has more value. In fact, you can get 10,000 eru of in-game equipment for 500 yen (5 USD). That will make real money more valuable if done away. The world is a cruel place.
"Don't. I am not the best in my search. It was a job for the beastman. ”
"Then what about this one?"
【Request ・ Conquest of Orc】
Difficulty: ☆☆☆☆
Prize: 1500 eru
The Orcs had built nests near the village and had done what they wanted.
Please help .
"Oh? That's pretty lucrative demand there. Surprisingly no one accepted it. ”
I said I approved the job request that Dina was holding. I will exterminate the orcs even if there is no cash prize. These creatures had a 3 percent drop rate for [orc meat], HP status-enhancing items, after all.
I said I approved the job request that Dina was holding. I will exterminate the orcs even if there is no cash prize. These creatures had a 3 percent drop rate for [orc meat], HP status-enhancing items, after all.
Orc — or known as “meat pig”.
When these were still games, they existed only so that players could farm an easy experience. What a worthy existence in their nickname.
That was why it was impossible for them to lead an attack on the human village. They were slaughtered and looted once they were born, let alone gathered to form groups. Orcs are such a pathetic horde that you start to sympathize with lines of code. For those orcs to move, gather, and attack people .. This is a very moving moment for me.
“That's because there's no profit. ”
"What's? Orc hunting is the embodiment of profit. ”
“That may apply to Ruphas-sama, but times have changed. Right now, one orc could match the strength of an experienced warrior. The destruction of the nest will be a job for the knight order. And even then, there were many casualties. No one wants to risk his life for 1500 eru. ”
“So the times changed ... back then, adventurers would line up to receive such requests. Not to mention the quest reward would never drop so low. I remember a similar request that paid 15,000 eru. ”
The difference between gaming and reality took a breath from my lips.
Orc hunting was nothing but a worthless burden for the inhabitants of this world. However, the players of the game will live a dream to receive a reward for killing orcs. It's like being told "In addition to receiving an all-you-can-eat coupon for a high-end steak, we'll pay you 30,000 yen (300 USD) for every extra cut you can eat. "You can't help but think it's too good to be true.
"Basically ... It's okay if I obliterate their nest, right?"
"Of course . ”
"Good . Then let's accept this request. This will be our ticket to secure food and money before we start our journey. ”
"Yaaaay, this time the Orcs will definitely go extinct. Even though it was my idea, I think I feel a little sorry for them now, ”
This was an opportunity to earn money, obtain meat, and raise my HP status simultaneously. If I let such an opportunity run from my grasp, then I am not qualified as a competitive player. With a written request in hand, I informed the bar owner of my plans and left the tavern.
“By the way, Dina. ”
"Yes?"
The village specified in the request is located half a day on foot. While walking towards the destination, I decided to spend some time by asking Dina some questions. There are all sorts of differences between this world and my knowledge of this game. 200 years is not a short period of time.
“You told me that the standard of fighting has dropped from 200 years ago. I want to hear about it in a little more detail. ”
200 Years ago — when this was a game, I was undoubtedly the strongest player. Listed at the top of all the players, I am sure that no opponent can beat me. However, it simply does not mean that I am incomparable in terms of strength. Believe it or not, there is no shortage of players who can challenge my authority.
The game has a total of 8 million active players .. and about 20 percent of them reach capped level characters, which is the bottom line for being competitive players. Naturally, this would take a little effort to achieve, but it was definitely not something that could not be achieved with a little perseverance. Then again, that alone was not enough to be recognized as a top ranked player. The real challenge came after: efficiently collecting items that raise status after being unable to level up. Then, only a small percentage of the retards that ruined their health playing the game were listed as top-ranked players.
Now that I think about it .. the use of status-enhancing items does not seem to be a common practice in this world. That means your growth will stall at the level limit. But even so, that's not the standard reason to go down so far.
The next few words that came out of Dina's mouth startled my mind.
The next few words that came out of Dina's mouth startled my mind.
"General, let's look ... the country you mentioned earlier, Levatin, also widely known as" Nation of Swords "and … there was a sword saint who was renowned as the best swordsman on the planet .. he should be around level 120. ”
“…… 120?”
"Yes, 120. ”
I doubt my own ears.
Wait a minute, 120?
The greatest swordsman on the planet is level 120 !? What is with this low number? I wonder he can call himself a sword saint. He sounded like an arrogant novice who decided to honor himself with a "second name" as he reached level 100. At least reach level 1000 before fooling yourself.
"You must be kidding . There's a limit to how low, you know? ”
“You see, Ruphas-sama. The strange thing was the people of that generation. Please think about . You only have one life. The kind of monster that could reach level 1000 without losing its life was usually non-existent. Not to mention that the only way to get there is to fight day after day like crazy. To train without a break — it is hardly enough to call it a crazy act .. Heroes of that era were absolutely crazy. ”
I feel confused. But I do understand.
Indeed, level 1000 can only be achieved because it is a game.
You can come back to life after death. There are no consequences.
That may be because it is a game .. but can we really say the same for reality?
Become a monster hunt all day, every day, and live through that nightmare for over a year. How many people on the planet can accomplish such a feat? And how many of those people still retain their sanity?
With that in mind, even level 120 was an incredible achievement. The level of a madman on the verge of obsession.
I am an irregular person.
"I understand .. Indeed, it is very different from the world I know. ”
I am a madman and a monster in this world.
Staring directly into the eyes of reality, an empty feeling enveloped my chest.
