All the memories had gathered clearly in Lucius's brain. Lucius has another piece of memory that hasn't been fully collected: before this incident, it was him who faced the monster creature in the last round, but he didn't win the fight.
Then why did Lucius come back alive now? Is the body recovery potion of his choosing
Unfortunately, Lucius could not clearly remember what the creature looked like.
Lucius also remembered how to fight this centipede monster creature. In the first round, everyone will be busy running around looking for a safe zone in this city arena.
As is now happening. People were running here and there in fear and confusion. Panicked screams could be heard from everywhere—which actually provoked the centipede monster creature to make even more strange sounds.
"Lucius, let's run!" Kaylee intended to pull one of Lucius' hands.
"Wait." Lucius withdrew his hand, stopping Kaylee from running. "There's something bothering that monster."
Kaylee, who was already looking very panicked, looked at Lucius in disbelief.
"Lucius, do you want to die here? Don't you know what the command in the message on your phone is?" she insisted. His tone was very worried.
Lucius was still standing quietly looking at the centipede monster. His gut was very strong telling him that he didn't need to run around like other people.
Even though the centipede monster was slowly advancing forward, Lucius had yet to decide how to proceed.
'When I ran this round the first time, I ran straight away without thinking of a proper plan,' thought Lucius.
The centipede monster was getting closer and closer. The movement is not slithering, but stepping by standing like a human. As a result, its legs that resemble roots appear to be twisting in the air.
"Aren't you going to run, Lucius?" Kaylee's voice squeaked with fear.
Lucius suddenly tightened his grip on Kaylee's hand.
'Come to think of it, there is no detailed explanation about where the safe zone is, and whether there is only one or more safe zones...' Lucius thought again.
His memory is spinning. This feels a little weird. Lucius tried to work out a sequence: safety zone, two and a half hour time limit, self defense. So no notice how they will defend themselves?
"It's impossible to run for the safe zone, Kaylee," Lucius said finally.
Kaylee was confused. "What do you mean?"
Turning around, Lucius took Kaylee to walk quickly down the sidewalk. There was anger on Kaylee's face because she thought Lucius was too late to act.
"We can't read quests at random," Lucius replied. "I feel something is up. If that monster can attack in just a second, and while we're not being told where the safe zone is, we're still going to die.
The key to the success of this quest is in the second sentence. Self-defense."
After saying that, Lucius looked at the monster, aimed at the monster with his index finger then tapped twice, and swung one of his arms to the right.
A status window blue screen appeared in front of Lucius' face, displaying information.
[MONSTER DETAILS]
[MONSTER NAME: BLACK POISON Centipede]
[MONSTER LEVELS: 14]
[STRENGTH: BLACK POISON ON HER LEGS THAT CAN SPREAD TO THE BODY IN JUST 10 SECONDS & SPEED TO AIM THE PREY]
[WEAKNESS: CLOSING EYE, SHORT VIEWING RANGE, POSSIBLE SHOOTING]
Lucius smirked after reading the information box on the status window. He waved once more to remove the status window from his view.
"The monster's legs can aim at prey quickly. The human's running speed will be inferior to the speed of his feet," explained Lucius to Kaylee.
"Then where are you taking me? What should we do?" she asked.
"Attrack the monster's attention while waiting for the next sub-quest message to appear. I'm sure the self-defense mission is closely related to something in the monster's body," Lucius replied confidently.
Actually Kaylee still wants to question. But seeing Lucius' serious face made his intention cancel.
PRAANGGG.
BUGGGHH.
The sound of breaking glass was heard everywhere. The monster centipede's legs broke everything. Several people were stabbed by the monster's leg, then entangled until the body disappeared.
Chaos is so scary. But Lucius did not abandon his plans. He still held Kaylee's hand towards a shop whose door was open.
"You come inside," Lucius ordered as he stopped.
Kaylee did not immediately enter the store. He was still standing in the doorway, looking worriedly at Lucius.
"You're not coming in?" she asked.
Lucius shook his head, then gently pushed Kaylee's shoulder into the shop.
"I'm going to get the monster's attention. Can I ask you a favor?"
Kaylee immediately nodded. "Of course. What help do you need?"
"You take anything to spread the glass shards." Lucius pointed at the glass wall on the right side of the shop. There is an oval part that has been broken, with a wide hole.
"What for?"
"So I can jump inside. I will also break the glass from the outside. I need something noisy to attract the attention of the monster's legs," Lucius explained.
Kaylee was confused. "Then you want the monster's feet to go inside?" he asked, answered by Lucius' nod of approval. "What should I do when the monster's foot enters?"
"Saw, cut," Lucius insisted. "I'm sure you know how to use it."
Kaylee's enthusiastic smile widened. "I'm glad you didn't forget about that."
Lucius took a deep breath. Without further conversation, Kaylee entered the shop, while Lucius closed the shop door. Lucius looked for something that could block the door from the outside. Then search for objects and find a foam fire extinguisher.
Lucius immediately moved to the foam fire extinguisher. With full power, Lucius raised the tool and slammed it against the glass twice.
PRAAANGG.
One time the sound of breaking glass was heard. Lucius paused to see how the centipede monster would react.
'ROAAAAAA!'
The centipede monster's body spun to face Lucius' whereabouts. Of course Lucius smiled broadly. The plan worked.
PRAAANGGG!
The sound of the second glass shattering. Lucius flinched and turned his head to the side.
Kaylee's figure raised and lowered her eyebrows with a proud smile after hitting the foam fire extinguisher. Kaylee's athletic body seemed so fit to hold the heavy equipment.
Lucius ignored Kaylee. Then Lucius continued to slam the foam fire extinguisher alternately with Kaylee so that each other would not be hit by broken glass.
After the glass wall had a wide hole, which was enough for a human to jump through, Lucius immediately threw the fire extinguisher in his hand.
Out of breath, Lucius looked up at the centipede monster. The attempt was successful. The centipede monster seemed to be attracted to Lucius.
That's why the centipede monster stretched its long legs until it was snaking in the air. Lucius counted.
"Five...four..."
The monster's eyes stared at Lucius.
"Three...two..."
Then just before Lucius could count to one, one of the monster's long legs stretched out towards him. Lucius grinned, then immediately jumped through the hole in the glass wall.
Lucius' body rolled over, immediately got up, then ran around and out through the broken glass wall on the left side of the cafe.
Before the centipede monster's foot had followed Lucius, Kaylee had cut it off with a chainsaw.
Meanwhile Lucius again attracted the attention of the monster's other leg. This time there were two legs stretched out towards him, but Lucius quickly jumped into the cafe again.
Lucius deliberately made the monster's two legs twist into the cafe and get tangled up. After two legs stretched out, then three other legs stretched out followed.
The movement Lucius made was the same: jump in through the broken glass wall on the left side, then jump out from the glass wall on the right side. He performs jumps from the sides alternately.
The five monster legs that were about to wrap around Lucius's body, were now tangled together instead.
Lucius grinned.
'This time!'
Without hesitation, Lucius jumped up onto one of the monster's legs. Thick as tree roots. Carefully, Lucius jumped in a zig-zag so as to maintain his body's balance and at the same time trick the centipede monster.
After a leg of the centipede monster stretched out again, Lucius seized the opportunity. He pays attention to which point can be safe and non-toxic.
After finding a spot where there were no tentacle holes, Lucius immediately held on tightly. Because his movement was twisting and turning, as if he wanted to throw Lucius' body away, Lucius tried not to let go of his hand.
'This monster is trying to let me go,' Lucius thought to himself.
Slowly the centipede monster pulled back the leg Lucius was clinging to.
Lucius started the chainsaw he took from Kaylee.
Lucius was getting closer and closer to the centipede monster's heart. Lucius's grip on the saw. getting tighter.
"Feel this!"
Just as the centipede monster opened its mouth, about to eat Lucius, Lucius jumped and grabbed one of the monster's legs. With strong strength to support the body, Lucius dangled.
"One..."
"Two..."
"Three!"
Lucius pushed his legs back so his body could swing forward. It was then, he plunged the flaming saw into the point where the centipede monster's heart was.
'ROAAAAAA!'
Lucius closed his eyes as blood spurted out. He let go of his grip on the chainsaw, allowing the flaming saw to remain embedded in the monster's heart.
While Lucius' body fell to the ground. He rolled several meters away from the centipede monster's presence.
'ROOOOOAAA!'
Lucius gasped at the sight of the centipede monster in pain. But gradually a very satisfied smile curved.
In two minutes, after a scene that created a tense atmosphere, the centipede monster was finally dead.
Finally.

His guess was right about something hidden in the centipede monster's body. "Woah. Where did you learn that?" Kaylee, who was sitting beside Lucius, looked at Lucius unexpectedly. Lucius' breathing was irregular as he sat against the wall. He rested his strength after the short battle just now. "I'm just trying not to see from one point of view," Lucius answered, so calm amidst his tiredness. Kaylee smiled faintly. "That'

The town had been quiet and calm since the battle with the Centipede Beast two hours ago.Lucius and Kaylee decided to go to a tavern some distance away. The surroundings of the tavern never reached the Centipede Monster. Therefore, here, the condition is much safer.Lucius and Kaylee chose to sit in one of the corner seats by the wall. Directly facing the window so Lucius could look out of the tavern.Compared to the city arena where he had fought against the Centipede Monster, this city arena was much tidier. Lucius thought it was fun to find a place where there weren't any bodies lying around.There's also no trace of a gruesome fight left."Excuse me, sir, miss, what would you like to order?"Lucius flinched slightly. But he refrained from looking at the waiter and pulled the hood of his jacket even tighter. He pretended to act like someone was sick, clasping his arms folded across his chest.After the video incident of his fight was spread, Lucius did not want to show his face. H

Lucius had not yet had time to digest the events that were unfolding.Before Lucius really understood the meaning of the quest sentence that had just appeared, suddenly someone knocked on his desk twice.Lucius and Kaylee's attention was raised. Both of them looked up, realizing that someone who had come to their table was the waiter who had delivered their order earlier.The waiter's face had turned flat, much different than when delivering food. He immediately grabbed Lucius' hand to make Lucius stand up."Hey, why are you grabbing my hand?" asked Lucius. Not harsh but firm.The maid removed the apron she was wearing, showing a name tag.Lucius read the description of the name tag on the maid's body.[Colonel John Attreas]"Colonel?" asked Lucius between surprise and confusion.John Attreas nodded his head. "You got the message?" he asked.Lucius was even more confused. He saw another man whose body was more robust approaching Kaylee. The man was wearing army clothes, had a serious

The shape of the building from the outside is like a stadium. The difference is that this building is not open like a stadium, but is closed but with a soaring roof.From the lobby floor, anyone can see the second floor to the fourth floor. While the fifth floor onwards was closed off, it couldn't be seen from below.Lucius and Kaylee were just passing through the lobby floor. The elevator they took moved to the twelfth floor. Then came the view of the wide room. When going inside, this room has two open floors.The second floor divider of this room is hip-high glass for an adult. On the right Lucius could see about five people in predominantly black suits with a bit of white trim at some points.On the left Lucius saw about six people in suits pred

Looking for the Key to Open the Door to the Second Floor of the Central Tower Building.Simple quests. Maybe that's what the people around Lucius and Kaylee thought. Lucius noticed very clearly from the reactions of the other players after they got the quest.Unfortunately for Lucius, quests like this were prone to traps.There was no slightest clue for where the key to the door to the second floor of the Central Tower building.There was no notification what monsters they would face.No one knows, behind the fortress walls that surround these five buildings, what traps or dangers are hidden.And, after all, looking for one small object among five large buildings is like looking for a needle in a haystack.Lucius reread the keyword on the skill needed to do this quest: knowledge of logic.'The time when I ran this first round, I was too fool to realize the keyword was in the skills required,' Lucius said to himself.Lucius' grin curved. In the not too distant future, Lucius must solve
The Reborn of System Player Chapter 10. Against The Monster
A tense situation ensued when the players scrambled to climb the fort's walls.Ever since Lucius had given Kaylee instructions to speed up the wall-climbing movement, the two of them focused their gazes on the door. The color of the door is vague. That's why Lucius hoped that no other players would quickly notice.'In a minute,' Lucius said to himself. 'Come on, Lucius, catch the clock!'Beneath the players, the piles of scorpions and black crabs were already growing. Nearly half of the castle walls were covered in creatures that were piling up on each other."Hey, you two! Where are you going?!" A player, a mature man around thirty years of age, called out to Lucius.Lucius turned to the grown man. His face grimaced as he held his own weight. He hesitated to answer the man's question."You, young man! Are you trying to win alone?!" The grown man spat out curt words. His tone almost sounded like swearing.On the other hand, Lucius and Kaylee looked at each other. They both didn't know

Lucius thought time was running out to face the monsters on the second circle of walls until he could enter the territory of the five towers. But apparently, after facing the goblin monsters who were blind and slow moving, Lucius was able to arrive at the arena of the five towers.In front of the central control tower, Lucius tried to catch his breath. He managed to get the key hanging from the monster goblin's pocket.Remembering a few minutes ago, when the goblin monsters who were blind and slow moving had wandered about, Lucius arranged the pebbles. Deliberately so that the goblin monsters that came were tricked by the amount of pebbles.The obstacles were much easier than facing the black crab and scorpion monsters."Lucius, let's open the tower door," Kaylee said beside Lucius.After calming himself down, Lucius nodded his head. The players who didn't get the key were waiting for him. But they look still shocked by the incident that they passed a few moments ago.Without caring a
