Now that the trade is over, Leiu's attention went back to the proposal of Elena. He waited for the crazy ape to calm down before he spoke again:"So, what's the quest?"While lovingly checking her new staff's stats, Elena answered with enthusiasm:"A-ah it's a quest we got! It's A difficulty! Do you believe it? It's A, A!!""I don't want to know the difficulty, tell me some information about the quest!"Leiu was sure if he hadn't stopped her right now, she would have continued rambling about the quest difficulty for god knows how long and being a person with a tight playtime schedule, every second count for him, especially when he always plays alone.Hearing him talk with such tone, Elena was obviously infuriated and was going to throw a little girl's tantrum at him again but she stopped herself when she remembered the staff, her new lover.Forcefully,
The slash of his sword was clean and effective and since the goblin archer had no defense, to begin with, it fell down lifelessly after suffering several attacks from its assailant.Once he had done his part of the fight, Leiu turned down to see if the others finished the two entangled goblins and the other one, which was mobile and unharmed. It turned out to be the case, although Elena seemed to have used more Mana than needed, nevertheless, they did manage to kill the immobilized enemies before they were free."Next time, don't overuse powerful skills, save them in emergency cases, it's not about how fast you can kill it but how efficiently you do it."It has only been one fight yet she started being lectured by Leiu, which didn't let Elena feel happy about getting her old staff. Her excitement was gone as if a cold bucket of water was poured on her when she heard his lecturing, it made her want to bombard him with her
One enemy was down, five more to go. Leiu and Chul rushed at their targets, Chul's job was to take down the remaining archers along with Elena's help, as for Leiu, he would take care of the melee goblins, which are not a threat but can still cause trouble if ignored or underestimated.Leiu's iron rule was to never look down on his enemies, even if they were weak. Such thinking would lead to death, sooner or later, although he was over ten levels above the goblins, he chose to go all out and not spare any of his strength, only like that would he improve, for he is someone who strives for perfection.Once the distance was enough for his chains to reach their target, Leiu viciously swung them down from above, utilizing all his mustered power in dealing high damage to the targets, which were the mage and the two archers that needed to be immobilized so that Elena could finish them.The bodies of three goblins were flattened
Normally, if you die in the middle of combat, there's a strong chance that you'll drop one of the equipments you're currently wearing.Next to the bloodied body of Chul, who died from the Hobgoblin's kick, laid the lengthy one-handed sword which he used to wield. The four others were hiding as they gazed at the corpse of Chul and the equipment he dropped.It was Leiu's idea, he noticed Chul sneaking away from the battle and heading toward the boss's hut. He signaled for others then retreated away from this area, they were confused on why he would run when the fight was going well so Leiu had to spit it out for them.He merely told them to look toward the direction of the boss' residence only for them to see a silhouette that entered the hut. At that moment, the three of them condemned this trickster, even his friend, Realman, didn't like what happened and agreed to kick Chul out of the party.The ran a distance away until the boss stopped chasing them the
'-99''-85''-55''-5'-'5'The bleeding effect was pretty useful as it lasted for thirty seconds and could be refreshed each time he attacked.Another fireball hit the shoulder of the hobgoblin, annoying it further and causing its hammer to be randomly swung in all direction, forcing Leiu and Realman to jump back."I said its hands not its shoulder, are you deaf or what?!"Leiu shouted at Elena, who was enjoying her moment as she cast her fireballs and did lots amount of damage. From the point of view of many people, she was doing a marvelous job as a mage, but Leiu thought otherwise, he required more than dealing damage per second from a mage.If it were any normal game, the mage needs to continuously cast his spells, however, Hell Gate needed precision and timing! Know where to aim and when. A fireball aimed at a weak spot would critical damage and possible slow
Just as they looted everything, a notification from the quest popped In front of the four players. The notification was actually a narrating boss'As you slay the evil hobgoblin who has been guarding the base of the mountain, you sense a formless aura emitting from the top of the mountain.'*Climb the black mountain and retrieve the hilt of the sword.*"What? Are you serious?"Elena was the first to snap. What they demanded them to do was practically impossible. They were barely at the base of the mountain yet the encountered the hobgoblin. If they advance just a bit more, they'll encounter the domineering centaurs, which are much more agile and powerful than the short goblins."It's an A difficulty quest. I expected this much."Realman calmly said. A quest like this shouldn't be this easy, in fact, if the quest was just about killing the boss and getting the sword, at best, it would have been C difficulty.Starting from A difficulty and above, all quests became inexplicably hard. In f
When players are killed in PvE(Players versus environment), there is a small chance that they’ll droptheir equipment, however, the chance is slim. Nonetheless, with so many slaughtered like that, Leiu managed to loot two items, one of them was a very pleasant surprise.The stupid warrior of that party, who had better equipment than the rest, actually dropped his small and round golden shield. Leiu rejoiced as he picked the shield and put it in his inventory, already considering it his.Twenty or so seconds after Leiu picked the loot and departed from that area, he received a friend request from Big Relief, the warrior who chased and wanted to kill him.Leiu snickered and refused the friend request only to receive another one so, left with no choice, Leiu blocked the user, no longer receiving anything from him. This further infuriated Big Relief, who kept cursing loudly in the altar where all the dead players revive. He lost his most expensive equipment, that shield was a precious item
After thorough pondering, Leiu decided to try completing the quest. He had nothing to lose and had enough Mana and Health Potion. The durability of his equipment is still high and last him till he’s done with the quest.The quest didn’t tell him to recruit other players which means it can be soloed, or so thought Leiu.The difficulty is C+ yet it seemed so hard, which means that the A difficulty quest Elena received isn’t as easy as it seems. The base of the mountain had creatures such as the centaurs, he wouldn’t be surprised to see fully grown dragons at the peak of the black mountain.The Westia continent was extremely big, even when players to bypass powerful monsters and discover new civilizations and cities, they were still killed by sneak-attacks from high-leveled creatures.Only 20% of the continent was discovered since the launch of the game. Moreover, only 10% are safe places, the other 10% are filled to the brim with all kinds of field bosses and peculiar races that kill pla
