Super Equipment
Chap 6's

'The black magicians are the problem now ...'

Rous is currently level-1, and his strength and stamina stats are only one point each. Mengel's Plate Armor added five powers, totaling six powers. When all of these statistics are added together, Rous has a total of 34 very few health benefits. He might be able to punch a few black magicians before going to the underworld.

'Can I go?

The quest failure has been fixed. Rous just wants to keep his life. No, he must definitely survive. If a person dies twice in a day, they will not be able to access the game for 12 hours. Okay, this is the only way!

"Get out!"

[You cannot get out of the game here.]

“Damn it! I was expecting it!”

It is common knowledge that it is impossible to end the game while the quest for time is underway. There is a way to force him, but Rous does not want to use him because he will get a very big penalty. After failing to log out, he looked for a way to escape. However, this was an enemy fortress.

Rous was surrounded by a rapidly increasing number of followers. No matter how many calculations he made, there was no way to escape. There was no hope for him when he was slow like a turtle.

While Rous was planning his actions, Doran yelled at him, "Breaked into the basement at once!"

Then Doran took out two daggers and threw them without delay. His hand moved so fast that it happened in an instant.

Srtt!

“Ahhhkk!”

One of the daggers hit one's eyes while the other pierced the hearts of others.

Doran narrowed the distance to the wounded Devotees and used his dagger. “Open.”

The temple people could not even shout as their necks were sliced, and they disappeared into a glint of gray light. Rous could not help but admire him. The lack of information meant that he did not know the exact level of the Yatan adherents, but he knew temple NPCs were generally at least 150+ levels. The people of this temple were most likely the same.

Yet Doran handled them so easily that Rous could not even imagine what the level was.

'Is he perhaps an NPC named?' Rous's impression of Doran changed.

Perhaps Rous could complete this absurd quest if he depended on Doran. 3,000 gold! A massive 3,600,000 won was in front of him! Earl's son-in-law! Rous imagines getting +20 for all his stats and a beautiful wife! He would become an overlord with his own territory, where he could steal high taxes from users and NPCs!

'If I become a landlord, I will be able to earn income every month. How interesting!'

Rous started encouraging Doran. "Good! Doran, fight! I have admired you for a long time!"

“Eh? For a long time? When have you ever seen..”

"ah! The danger! There! You must be careful!"

"Be careful...?"

While Doran was surprised by Rous's sudden change in attitude, he focused on facing the enemy in front of him. Grey lights appeared in succession.

'Very strong!' Think Rous.

Doran skillfully threw out many hidden weapons as if they were just an extension of his limbs. Old Sword Demon, the number one person in the assassin rank that Rous saw on the broadcast two months ago, was like a child next to Doran.

'Is he three times stronger than Ashur? I had to befriend him and ask him to kill Ashur!’

The Yatan believers ignored Rous and attacked the threat, Doran. However, their efforts could not stop Doran's progress. Doran only focused on those who chanted spells, attacking them to stop their magic.

The black magicians could not cast their magic, making them not a threat.

"Looky! You are absolutely amazing! Doran, you are my god!"

Rous hears a magic spell being recited but continues to cheer as the mouth of the black witch is then pierced by Doran's dagger.

This is the best! By relying on the power of NPCs, Rous could actually complete this quest! This is a fantastic search! It seemed pathetic that he had put in so much effort to reject the quest a few minutes ago!

Thanks to Doran stopping once in a while, Rous could barely catch up to Doran with his slow pace. "Are you waiting for me? How well. Hehe."

Doran looked around with a horrible expression. "These people have started using their heads."

"Huh?" Rous looked around like Doran did and saw that the black magicians were chanting spells at the same time.

“Blessed souls underground.”

"Use your grudges and fears to ensnare the enemy."

"Those who are afraid will hold their feet."

"Their minds will be destroyed, and they will lose their will."

"Be a puppet with a lost soul!"

The black magicians chanting the spell themselves would be stopped by Doran before they were finished. Therefore, the group shared his mantra by chanting sentences one by one. The sentences would be connected to form a single spell, and the magic would be cast.

"Prepare," Doran advised Rous.

Rous grabbed Doran's collar and said, “Prepare? You have to do something!”

"It's too late."

"Damn it!"

Tcsgzezhh!!

Bloodlines were drawn on Doran's face, and black energy rose up like mist to cover it up.

“T-No! I'm done if you die! ”

Rous has boarded the same boat as Doran, and Doran is the rower. If Rous was alone on this ship, he would not be able to escape the search failure.

"Uhukk!"

Rous cursed and shouted at Doran, who was coughing up blood. “Fuck! If it's going to be like this, you shouldn't have made me feel hopeful in the first place! ”

At that moment, a green light flowed from the ring Doran was wearing and surrounded him. Then Doran's skin gradually recovered.

'A-What?' Rous wondered.

“This ring is special. It protects the wearer from curses and poisons; however, its protection is not perfect. The damage is cumulative, so I should avoid magic as much as possible.”

"Yes indeed! The great Doran even wears a small ring like this!”

The ring clearly had an Epic rank or higher. Is there a way to get it?

While Rous was thinking about the ring, Doran started slaughtering the enemy again. He allowed some magic spells to be cast but eventually managed to create a path.

Doran stared at the entrance of the stairs leading to the basement. "Come on!"

"Yes!" Unlike his strong reply, Rous chased Doran down the stairs slowly.

The black magicians chased the two men with spells, but they were no threat because Doran threw a dagger the moment he heard the chant. Then Doran and Rous soon arrived at the dark basement.

"Young lady!" Doran saw a beautiful woman bound to the altar in the middle of the basement and ran towards her.

However, the crowd blocked his path. To be exact, there were a dozen black magicians.

Rous laughed at them. “This silly bastard! They need more people than that to be our opponents! Now, Doran! Get rid of them!"

"Of course!" Doran nodded and held a dagger in front of him.

Doran might be tired, but the number of opponents was too few. Rous was excited when he imagined the black magicians turning into a gray light. A clear search signal is imminent.

“3,600,000 won and princess earl, I'm coming!”

The trail!

“...Eh?”

There was an unexpected result. The hidden weapon thrown by Doran suddenly stopped and fell to the ground. Doran's progress was also halted.

“A shield?”

Defense magic cannot be used by black magicians. It was only possible for black magicians who had completed their second-rate advancement. While Rous is confused, a young woman walks out from among the black magicians. It was a woman who boasted the best beauty — unique beauty that caused the beauty of the young noble lady to pale in comparison.

Somehow, she looks familiar...?

Rous checked his name and was surprised. 'Blood Witch !!'

Blood Witch, ID: Yura—dia is a Korean Player ranked number one in the black magician rankings and ranked number five in the unified rankings. She is a famous person who often appears on TV because of her beautiful appearance and her extraordinary abilities. Why is he here?

Yura looked towards Rous and extended a hand. "I'm sorry, but I can't let you take that sacrifice."

Swooshes! A red fire sword emerged from Yura's hand with a ferocious momentum.

Unlike the black magician who did not have much attack magic, he was an expert at it.

Rous felt intimidated when he saw the fire. 'Did I get this far, just to die?'

Why is Yura here?

As despair filled Rous's body, a notification window appeared.

[You've been hit!]

[A legend doesn't die easily. You can withstand all attacks for 5 seconds with a minimum amount of health.]

Rous has one health point left. He temporarily forgot about it, but his title attribute was activated and he now had an immortal body for a while.

Yura had a puzzled expression when she saw Rous survive, despite having been exposed to his magic.

"It was clearly a critical attack... Based on your equipment, you might only be around level 80. So how could you not die after the attack?" Yura asked while hiding herself behind the black magicians in preparation for Doran's counterattack.

He always smiled calmly on TV, so Rous was probably the only one who saw Yura's confused expression.

Rous ran forward and shouted to Doran, “Quick! Let's finish it in five seconds! I will use my body to block their attacks, so Doran must kill them! I believe you, Doran! My god!"

The spells of all the black magicians, including Yura, were concentrated in Rous. This meant that Doran could attack freely. That's the best development.

'Yeah, hit me! No matter how you hit me, I won't die!’

Today would be the day when an ordinary user fought a ranker.

Rous narrowed the gap towards Yura as all kinds of curse and attack spells struck him. Meanwhile, Doran follows the path that Rous made and gives destruction to all the black magicians. Then Doran Forward Stamped on Rous's back and jumped towards Yura.

Despite being in a state of confusion, Yura blocked his attack. On the other hand, Doran's momentum was increasing.

'We can win!'

However, did Doran step on Rous's back ...?

[You are dead.]

“......?”

'Eh? Eeeeh?’

Rous wanted to reject this situation, but the reality was cruel.

A new notification window appeared as his vision turned gray.

[Quest failed!]

[Your level is down 2.]

[You are now level -3.]

[Since you have died twice in 24 hours, you will not be able to connect to the game for 12 hours.]

'Huh, it somehow turned out like this.'

Rous stared towards Doran's fight ... No, Rous's last sight as he closed his eyes was that damned Blood Witch.
