The average level of a black magician user was level 53. Of the 120,000 classes in Satisfy, black magicians had the lowest average level. The Black Mage Class was a combat profession, but the users of this class had extremely weak defenses and insufficient attack power.
However, Yura has been hunting alone without a party friend since she started, showing unparalleled control skills that are aligned with her magic. His ability to choose a hunting ground was also very good. There was a good reason why Yura surpassed two billion users to rise to the fifth rank.
Three hours ago, Yura finally reached level 230, resulting in new magic being added to her ability list.
'Now I can use defense magic...' Yura confirmed the A-grade spell she had obtained after much difficulty. 'Diamond Barrier.'
It is a spell to create a shield by embodying mana with a hardness comparable to that of a diamond. It was a defensive-type magic that black magicians could obtain after reaching level 230.
After completing all the necessary requirements to study the Diamond Barrier, Yura headed straight for the Yatan Temple. As usual, he headed to the temple with fewer players. It was troublesome because it was a long distance away, but how else. Due to his high popularity, it would be an annoying situation if he went somewhere with many players. It was amazing how many people recognized him, even when he was hiding his face and identity.
After running for two hours, Yura arrived at the Yatan Temple and placed the spell book already prepared on the altar. As he was about to learn a new magic after expressing his deep belief in the God Yatan...
[A group of foolish enemies hostile to the god Yatan has appeared inside the temple.]
[Temple Guard]
[Difficulty: S]
There was a fool who entered to save the sacrifice to Lord Yatan. You must defend the dignity of Lord Yatan and punish the intruders who blaspheme.
Quest Clear Conditions: Reject the attacker or keep the sacrifice for an hour.
Clear Reward: The title of 'Guard of the Yatan Temple.'
* Yatan Temple Guard: Faith +300, Health +1,000, Intelligence +60
You are an example to other believers after defending the dignity of Lord Yatan. The Lord Yatan will bless you more, and the faithful will worship you.
Quest Failure: Level -2, Faith -250.]
Yura was surprised because she had only experienced an S-class quest three times, despite being level 230. Then many voices sounded in the distance.
'Is this an automatically generated search due to the appearance of an intruder? I am lucky I came to the temple at this time.’
Yura is very motivated. He desperately wanted the title of 'Supervisor of the Yatan Temple' because it increased all the important stats.
First of all, Yura understood the location of the sacrifice and then went to the place where the disturbance had occurred. Upon his arrival there, he witnessed an NPC in leather slaying the followers of Yatan viciously.
'A NPC who has completed the progress of the third class ...'
Indeed, S-class quests had a much higher difficulty level. An NPC called Doran was a huge threat to Yura.
'Even if I borrow the strength of the temple people, it will be a difficult quest to succeed.'
He received an S-class quest after a long time, but unfortunately, his chances of success seemed low.
"No, there's no point in guessing."
Yura calmly spread her mana throughout the temple. This was not a normal mana use for black magicians. In other words, this is done to detect the enemy. While the detection skill was only available to those with good mana manipulation ability, it was only a simple matter for Yura.
"Including Doran, there are two people."
Yura understood the number of enemies and looked at the users who were following Doran.
'ID: Box. Looking at his equipment, he seems to be a level-80.’ user
It was extremely low for a person who must have triggered an S-class quest. The only thing to look out for is Doran. If so, this search can be completed.
Yura meticulously observed the terrain of the temple while her enemies focused on fighting the believers. He made a judgment and went to the basement where the sacrifice was.
The temple was too vast, and there were many areas to cover, which meant that it was advantageous to Doran. Yura planned to use the hostages in the relatively small basement to restrict Doran's movements and increase his magic attack rate.
After a while, Doran and Rous finally entered the basement. Doran was already quite tired of dealing with all the temple people.
“This silly bastard! They need more people than that to be our opponents! Now, Doran! Get rid of them!" User, Rous, yelling.
Doran nodded as she fired a hidden weapon in front of him.
“3,600,000 won and princess earl, I'm coming!” Rous was confident about the successful search.
Yura felt sorry for him. Still, he also needed to complete his quest, so he acted without hesitation.
The trail!
Yura defeats Doran's hidden weapon with the newly learned Diamond Barrier and turns her gaze to the dumbfounded Rous. "I'm sorry, but I can't let you take that sacrifice."
Doran is strong. To focus on it, it was wiser to deal with the relatively weak Rous first. Yura called out to the flames and attacked without delay.
The great sword was a weapon that became the specialty of the warriors. It was clear that the Rous class was a warrior. If he was a warrior around level 80, then regardless of how good his equipment was, his maximum health was around 4,000. Rous was not wearing any special equipment, and he should have around 3,000 health. Moreover, warriors were extremely vulnerable to magic.
Therefore, Yura calculated that she could deal Rous in one hit by consuming a fifth of mana. It was a Critical blow, so it was normal to think that Rous was dead. But surprisingly, Rous survived.
'How?' Yura questioned.
Let's say Rous's luck was so high that he survived a critical attack. However, it makes sense that a character becomes stun after receiving 40% or more damage in a single attack. Rous stood up without being stunned. It was as if his health had not diminished by 40%.
"It was clearly a critical attack... Based on your equipment, you might only be around level 80. So how can you be okay after the attack?" Yura asked.
Yura was ranked fifth among the pool of two billion users, and she narrowed the distance between her and the fourth rank person. His playing skills are truly amazing.
He knew that his magic damage calculations were never wrong. His calculations have never been wrong while playing Satisfy so far. This is a new experience for him.
The confusion he caused affected him greatly.
'Why did this happen? Was his level actually much higher than the equipment he was wearing? No, it's not possible. Someone who dares to wear low-level equipment during an S-class search... Am I ignoring something?'
Yura tried to analyze the situation calmly, but Rous approached.
Stepped over. Stepped over. He was a fighter who walked very slowly. It was as if he was in no hurry to narrow the distance towards the black mages. This was an attitude that seemed to disregard the fifth place rank of Yura.
Rous's behavior seemed to say to Yura, 'I gave you enough time to cast a spell. Use your best magic.'
That was a clear provocation! Yura, who had strong self-esteem, was furious. As Rous wanted, he started chanting top-tier attack magic. He is determined to turn it into ashes, along with Doran.
“Great god of darkness, your humble servant calls you. Fill this place with darkness and instill fear in the hearts of enemies, show your strength to those who adore you.”
As the magic power began to increase, the torch that illuminated the basement began to extinguish. The torch was not completely turned off; the miracle was simply turning the fire black. Immediately, darkness engulfed this area.
Normal enemies would lose their sight and stop due to the additional 'fear' effect of this spell. In fact, Doran hesitated for a moment from where he hunted the black magicians behind Rous. But Rous approached as if it was nothing. He had a higher resistance than an NPC who had completed the advance of the third grade.
'What is his identity ...'
The ID's too weird. He's not a ranker... Then how could he be so strong? Yura's confusion grew, and she couldn't recover easily.
Despite this, the spell had been completely completed. "Dark storm!"
Wosh sss Whoosh!
A silent storm formed in the darkness and struck Rous. The effect of the storm caused the basement's buffer pillars to tremble, while cracks appeared on the ground and walls. It was a great power that could topple an entire temple! This was the moment when high-level dark attack magic was revealed.
Whoosshh!
Rous's body, already damaged by the attacks of the black magicians, was overwhelmed by the storm. Yura believes that Rous will turn into a gray light. Nevertheless, Rous was still fine as he continued walking forward, breaking through the storm without pause.
On the other hand, Doran's body was ripped apart behind Rous. Doran barely follows Rous as a green light emerges from his ring. Even a third advancement NPC was unable to overcome magic, so why was this player alright?
"You ... What you?" Yura.
Yura is a smart girl. He can see anything with logic. In her 21 years of life, she was praised by everyone she met for her beauty and intelligence. He used his innate insights on his work, earning him a reputation as a talented person who could be used anywhere. Satisfy was the path he finally chose.
After all, this brilliant Yura was unable to recognize the man named Rous.
'This is an impossibility in Satisfy right now. This incredible presence was not an NPC but a human... Is he a cheat? No, Satisfy is controlled by the world's leading supercomputer, Morpheus. So there's no bug. There is a rational way to get this power. How did he get such strength?’
This was the first time he had found anything beyond his senses. He was confused and very curious. At this moment, the person called Rous was deeply imprinted in Yura's mind.
On the other hand, Rous was getting closer to him with impressive footsteps. Yura could not easily give up, so she prepared to fight. Then Doran stepped on Rous's back, jumped up, and attacked him.
The trangg!
Yura hurriedly blocked Doran's attack magic and turned her gaze to Rous, expecting an attack, only for her eyes to widen. Rous's body, which was fine just a moment ago, was covered with a gray light and disappeared.
“......?”
After that, Yura received a huge wound as she struggled with Doran and barely managed to conquer it. He stared at the place where Rous disappeared, ignoring the system window that told him about the success of the search.
'Even if he were to be hit by Dark Storm, he would not die so suddenly. He must have been punished and forcibly expelled. Why?'
Yura's expression gradually worsened as she thought about it.
"Did he hand the quest over to me...?"
He felt helpless when he received Rous's sympathy. That day became the worst day for Yura, when her sturdy self-esteem was completely shattered.
