—Ding dong!
[Bos utama 'Ursula' dari 'Segitiga Bermuda' telah tewas.]
[Ini adalah pembunuhan pertama yang tercatat atas 'Ursula'.]
[Hadiah untuk pencapaian pertama akan distribusikan.]
Penyihir laut dalam Ursula akhirnya telah akhirnya bertemu ajalnya.
Epik saga yang telah bergulir sejak Pulau Tengkorak akhirnya mencapai klimaknya.
Pada saat yang sama.
—Ding dong!
Jendela sistem baru mulai muncul seperti jamur setelah hujan.
[Pemburu Pertama: Choi Museon]
[_meter Kerusakan Raid Boss Ursula_]
—1. Choi Museon: 99.47%
—2. Do Jeha: 0.31%
—3. No Name: 0.21%
—4. Lainnya: 0.01%
.
.
King Erik telah menyelesaikan Ursula.
Tapi ID-ku terdaftar di daftar pemburu pertama Ursula.
'Ya, itu lumrah saja.'
Trinity, senjata yang dipakai Erik di akhir, adalah barang yang sementara pinjam dariku.
Intinya seperti memberi pukulan akhir dengan trik tertentu.
Apalagi, aku telah menyebabkan kerusakan mencenggah 99,47% sendirian dalam raid boss Grade 1.
Hal itu sendiri adalah masalah yang akan membuat komunitas berserakah selama berhari-hari.
Tak lama kemudian, jendela obrolanpun meletup.
—Wtf.. apaan ini? damage output murni 99.47%??
ㄴAh lol solo Monster Hunter~
ㄴLebih seperti level-main Dark Souls lololol
—Pernahkah pemain lain membuat rekor seperti ini?
ㄴMungkin pertama di Fourth Wall ㅇㅇ
ㄴBelum pernah ada ranker seperti ini
ㄴMungkin juga tidak akan ada di masa depan lol
—Mungkin Grade 1 monster sebenarnya lemah?
ㄴFourth Wall noob.. apa yang kamu katakan.. kamu tidak bisa sampai ke sana..
ㄴ???: Mungkin Grade 1 monster sebenarnya lemah? (dapat ditakdirkan oleh Cheep Sperow)
—Super king god general carry.. Bang Museon.. hatiku berdebar..
ㄴ22222
ㄴ33333
ㄴItu aritmia. pergi ke rumah sakit
.
.
Tidak lama kemudian, efek level-up yang unik pun menyelimuti tubuhku.
—Ding dong!
[Pengguna telah naik level.]
[Pencapaian terbuka.]
[Choi Museon]
Level: 74 (4↑UP)
Afiliasi: Netral
Ras: Manusia
Pencapaian: 'Pemburu Spesies Bahaya Grade 1 pertama', 'Musuh Alam Gastropoda', 'Pembunuh Vampir', 'Kerajaan Undead', 'Pembunuh Slime', 'Penjagal Anjing Neraka', 'Bajak Laut Blackbeard—Wakil Kapten ke-13', 'Insting Berburu yang Terukir pada Tulang', 'Thalassophobia' (BARU)
'Oh. Empat level-up berturut-turut. Terasa nyaman.'
Sejumlah pengalaman luar biasa yang layak untuk monster Grade 1.
Aku juga memperoleh manfaat pencapaian baru bernama 'Thalassophobia'.
[Pencapaian 10: 'Thalassophobia']
Saat skill serangan mengena, probabilistik menyebabkan 'Kondisi—Fear'. Juga meningkatkan kekuatan serangan sebesar 25% saat menyerang 'makhluk bersisik'.
'Efek pencapaian terasa enak juga.'
Pilihan overpowered yang secara probabilistik menyebabkan fear saat menggunakan skill serangan.
Ini adalah passive yang berguna baik untuk konten PVE maupun PVP.
'Jika digunakan dengan tepat, bisa menciptakan momen burst damage atau momen bertahan.'
Tapi ada lagi satu efek yang kudiamati.
'Meningkatkan kekuatan serangan 25% saat menyerang makhluk bersisik.'
Sejujurnya dengan namanya 'Thalassophobia', ini adalah efek yang memberikan kerusakan tambahan terhadap kebanyakan makhluk laut.
Tapi intipnya adalah kata kuncinya 'sisik'.
Sisik tidak hanya ada pada ikan.
Gorgon punya sisik, basilisk punya sisik.
Bahkan griffin pun punya sisik di kakinya.
Dan makhluk paling terkenama yang punya sisik adalah...
'Naga, tentu saja.'
Di Benua Timur, ada banyak kesempatan untuk bertemu monster bertipe naga.
Oleh karena itu, manfaat ini akan menjadi passive yang berguna di masa depan.
Chek status window selesai dilakukan.
Sekarang untuk sorotan favorit dalam game RPG ini.
Saatnya memeriksa item yang di-dropping oleh raid boss.
Pilar cahaya bersinar di sekitar Ursula.
'Ursula yang sebenarnya' yang sebelumnya belum pernah dikalahkan.
Apa sih 'premi nyata' yang akan didrop oleh monster boss Grade 1 ini?
'Aku excited.'
Tatkala kuharu menggapai pilar cahaya dengan hati yang gemetar.
—Krrrrrrrr!
Rasa sakit seperti ribuan jar retak menembus sarafku.
Anggota tubuhku kaku dan napas pun dengan alami mempercepat.
"...!"
Sensasi yang pernah kuduga sebelumnya.
Ini pasti 'Fear'.
Bukan sekadar ketakutan biasa, tapi ketakutan yang berasal dari makhluk transenden.
Do Jeha dan No Name juga pucat peler.
"Museon...! Rasa takut ini...!"
"Persis seperti saat kita menghadapi Mephisto!?"
Dua puluh makhluk yang menguasai dunia pandangan Fourth Wall.
Keberadaan transenden yang setaraf dengan Mephisto dan Cthulhu.
Ketakutan dari monster special-grade menyelimuti dasar kolam bawah laut.
Tidak lama kemudian.
Retak—!
Tubuh Ursula terbelah dan berkembang menjadi berkas cahaya tebal.
Keemasan turquoise langsung mewarnai langit di atas dasar kolam bawah laut.
Melalui celah tirai cahaya yang bergelora, terlihat sebuah subruang.
Di seberangnya adalah tengah laut yang dikelilingi badai.
Brum— Ledakan!
Petir dan guntur yang hebat.
Melalui kabut laut yang tebal, 'keka' mulai muncul.
Bayangan panjang dan tebal yang tak terlihat awal dan akhirnya.
Kepala segitiga tajam dengan dua tanduk besar yang tumbuh, dan badan seperti ular melonjang dengan sisik tajam seperti tombak yang tegak.
Bentuk yang lebih mirip naga timur daripada naga barat.
Setiap kali badan bergelung seperti benang yang berentangled, petir dan hujan pun semakin hebat.
Tidak lama kemudian, mata-mata berwarna turquoise muncul di antara kabut.
Di saat kami sedang memandangnya, tiba-tiba ia pun mulai memandang kami.
‡ Leviathan ‡
Tingkat Bahaya: Special Grade
Tinggi Rata-rata: ?m (Besar)
Nama yang ditulis dalam 'Dragon Lineage: Chapter 3'.
"Semua makhluk kuat gemetar sebelumnya, karena di sini adalah raja dari semua hal yang angkuh."
—Leviathan—
Naga laut dalam Leviathan.
Salah satu dari tiga entitas naga special-grade yang ada di Fourth Wall.
'...Apakah Ursula adalah anak buah Leviathan?'
Di sela-sela itu, ada satu perbedaan dari saat dengan Mephisto.
Sejujurnya dengan ketakutan dari monster high-grade, anggota tubuhku terasa seperti ada listrik mengalir.
Namun, lututku tidak otomatis mirip dan punggungku tidak condong.
Ku cepat menyadari alasannya.
'Tidak ada niat mematikan.'
Leviathan hanyalah duduk diam saja memandang kami.
[...]
Mata-mata berwarna turquoise bergerak perlahan.
Aku dan teman-temanku, sekali, King Erik dan pasukannya sekali.
Akhirnya, ia memandang Ursula dengan seksama.
Pada saat yang sama.
Tsssssssss—
Partikel kristal biru mulai jatuh seperti salju.
Tubuh Ursula, yang disentuh olehnya, pun hancur dan menghilang seperti abi.
Di tempat lain.
[Waah, apa ini...?]
[Tubuhku sedang kembali normal!]
[Toh global dalam laut dalam sedang dilepas!]
Teriak-teriak kebahagiaan pecaha di mana-mana.
King Erik dan pasukannya pun mulai kembali ke bentuk manusia.
Aria yang jatuh pun disembuhkan dan kembali ke bentuk putri duyung yang indah.
Toh global buruk yang ditinggalkan Ursula semuanya larut.
Lalu.
Brum—
Retak yang merebak di langit kolam bawah lautpun mulai menutup dengan cepat.
Bentuk Leviathan yang terlihat di seberang kain bergerak pun semakin jauh.
Tidak lama kemudian.
Lecek!
Retak subruang tertutup dengan gemuruh yang keras.
Aurora turquoise yang menuturui sekitar pun pun hilang tanpa jejak.
No Name memandangku dengan ekspresi kosong.
"A, sudah selesai ya?"
"Sepertinya ya."
"Kenapa?"
"...Kamu kecewa karena tiba-tiba pergi?"
"Bukan... maksudku, kenapa tiba-tiba pergi? Bukannya itu tim Ursula? Bahkan melepas semua toh global..."
"Hmm, itu..."
Aku punya sebuah dugaan.
Kuhadap No Name dan berkata.
"Suka hamster?"
"Eh? Kenapa tiba-tiba bertanya hamster? Eh... aku suka. mereka imut."
"Lalu bayangkan beberapa ekor hamster sedang bertarung di alam liar dan terluka atau meninggal, dan kamu kebetulan menyaksikannya. Apa yang akan kamu lakukan?"
"Aku akan merasa sedih. Aku mungkin akan memberi obat pada yang terluka atau membersihkan yang sudah meninggal."
"Kamu mengerti dengan baik."
"...Jangan bilang, psikologi sebelumnya Leviathan tadi adalah seperti itu?"
Aku mengangguk.
Di antara banyak makhluk yang penting, naga laut dalam Leviathan sangat tertarik pada makhluk hidup.
Masalahnya, tingkat ketertariknya seperti terhadap hamster di balik k
—Ding dong!
[Main boss 'Ursula' of the 'Bermuda Triangle' has died.]
[This is the first recorded kill of 'Ursula'.]
[Rewards for the first achievement will be distributed.]
The deep-sea witch Ursula had met her end.
The epic saga that had continued from Skull Island had finally reached its conclusion.
At the same time.
—Ding dong!
New system windows began popping up like mushrooms after rain.
[First Hunter: Choi Museon]
[Ursula Boss Raid Damage Meter]
—1. Choi Museon: 99.47%
—2. Do Jeha: 0.31%
—3. No Name: 0.21%
—4. Others: 0.01%
.
.
King Erik had finished off Ursula.
But my ID was registered on Ursula's first hunter list.
'Well, that's obvious.'
Trinity, the weapon Erik used at the end, was an item temporarily borrowed from me.
It was essentially like delivering the final blow using a gimmick.
Moreover, I had dealt an astounding 99.47% damage alone in a Grade 1 boss raid.
That alone was an issue that would set the community ablaze for days.
Sure enough, the chat window had already exploded.
—Wtf.. did I see that right? Pure damage output 99.47%??
ㄴAh lol did you solo Monster Hunter~
ㄴMore like Dark Souls level play lololol
—Has any player ever set a record like this?
ㄴProbably first in Fourth Wall ㅇㅇ
ㄴThere's never been a ranker like this before
ㄴProbably won't be in the future either lol
—Maybe Grade 1 monsters are actually weak?
ㄴFourth Wall noob.. what are you saying.. you can't even get there..
ㄴ???: Maybe Grade 1 monsters are actually weak? (gets one-shot by Cheep Sperow)
—Super hard king god general carry.. Brother Museon.. my heart is racing..
ㄴ22222
ㄴ33333
ㄴThat's arrhythmia. Go to the hospital
.
.
Soon, the level-up effect unique to leveling up enveloped my body.
—Ding dong!
[Your level has increased.]
[Achievement unlocked.]
[Choi Museon]
Level: 74 (4↑UP)
Affiliation: Neutral
Race: Human
Achievements: 'First Grade 1 Dangerous Species Hunter', 'Natural Enemy of Gastropods', 'Vampire Hunter', 'Undead Kingdom', 'Slime Hunter', 'Hell's Dog Butcher', 'Blackbeard Pirates—13th Vice-Captain', 'Hunting Instinct Carved in Bone', 'Thalassophobia' (NEW)
"Oh. Four consecutive level-ups. Nice feeling."
A tremendous amount of experience worthy of a Grade 1 monster.
I also acquired a new achievement benefit called 'Thalassophobia'.
[Achievement 10: 'Thalassophobia']
When attack-type skills hit, probabilistically inflicts 'Status Ailment—Fear'. Also increases attack power by 25% when attacking 'scaled creatures'.
"The achievement effect is tasty too."
An overpowered option that probabilistically inflicts fear when using attack skills.
It was a versatile passive useful in both PVE and PVP content.
'If used properly, I could create burst damage timing or survival timing.'
But there was another effect I was paying attention to.
'Increases attack power by 25% when attacking scaled creatures.'
True to its name 'Thalassophobia', it was an effect that dealt additional damage to most marine life.
But the main point was the keyword 'scales'.
Scales aren't only found on fish.
Gorgons have scales, and basilisks have scales.
Even griffins have scales on their feet.
And the most famous creatures with scales are...
'Dragons, obviously.'
On the Eastern Continent, there are countless opportunities to encounter dragon-type monsters.
Therefore, this benefit would be a passive that would earn its keep going forward.
The status window check was roughly finished.
Now for the highlight of RPG games.
Time to check the items dropped by the raid boss.
Brilliant pillars of light were rising around Ursula.
The 'real' Ursula that had never been defeated before regression.
What kind of 'real' rewards would a Grade 1 boss monster drop?
'I'm excited.'
Just as I reached toward the pillar of light with an excited heart.
—Zzzt!
Pain like thousands of needles piercing my nerves struck me.
My limbs stiffened and my breathing naturally quickened.
"...!"
A sensation I had experienced before.
This was definitely 'Fear'.
Not simple fear, but fear emanating from a transcendent being.
Do Jeha and No Name also changed color.
"Museon...! This fear is...!"
"It's exactly like when we faced Mephisto!?"
Twenty beings ruling the Fourth Wall worldview.
A transcendent existence comparable to Mephisto and Cthulhu.
A special-grade monster's fear was engulfing the underwater basin.
Soon.
Crack—!
Ursula's body split and thick beams of light shot up.
Turquoise radiance instantly coloring the sky above the underwater basin.
Through the gaps in the rippling curtain of light, a subspace was visible.
Beyond it was the middle of a sea swept by storms.
Rumble— Crash!
Fierce thunder and striking lightning.
Through the thick sea fog, 'its' silhouette began to appear.
A long, thick shadow whose beginning and end couldn't be measured.
A sharp triangular head with two massive horns protruding, and a snake-like elongated body with spear-sharp scales standing erect.
A form resembling an Eastern dragon rather than a Western dragon.
Every time the body coiled like tangled thread moved, the lightning and downpour grew fiercer.
Soon, turquoise eyes flashed through the fog.
Just as we were looking at it, it began looking at us.
‡ Leviathan ‡
Danger Level: Special Grade
Average Height: ?m (Large)
A name written in 'Dragon Lineage: Chapter 3'.
"All the powerful tremble before it, for here is the king of all proud things."
—Leviathan—
Deep-sea dragon Leviathan.
One of the three special-grade dragon entities existing in Fourth Wall.
'...Was Ursula a subordinate of Leviathan?'
Meanwhile, there was one difference from the time with Mephisto.
True to high-grade monster fear, my limbs were tingling as if electricity was flowing through them.
However, my knees didn't automatically bend or my back bow.
I quickly realized the reason.
'No killing intent.'
Leviathan was simply watching us silently.
[...]
Large turquoise eyes moved slowly.
Me and my companions once, King Erik and his subordinates once.
Finally, it gazed intently at Ursula.
At the same time.
Tsssssssss—
Blue crystalline particles began falling like snow.
Ursula's body, touched by them, scattered and disappeared like ash.
Meanwhile.
[Wha, what is this...!]
[My body is returning to normal!]
[The curse, the deep-sea curse is being lifted!]
Joyful exclamations burst out from everywhere.
King Erik and his subordinates were beginning to return to human form.
The fallen Aria was also being healed and regaining her beautiful appearance.
The terrible curses Ursula had left behind were dissolving away.
Then.
Rumble—
The crack spread across the underwater basin's sky began closing rapidly.
Leviathan's form visible beyond the veil gradually grew distant.
Soon.
Thud!
The subspace crack closed with a resounding roar.
The turquoise aurora that had covered the surroundings had also disappeared without a trace.
No Name looked at me with a blank expression.
"I, is it over?"
"Seems like it."
"Why?"
"...Are you disappointed it just left?"
"No... I mean, why did it just leave? Wasn't that thing on Ursula's side? It even lifted all the curses..."
"Hmm, that's..."
I had a guess.
I stared at No Name and said.
"Do you like hamsters?"
"Huh? Why hamsters all of a sudden? Uh... I like them. They're cute."
"Then say several hamsters were fighting each other in the wild and got hurt or died, and you happened to witness it. What would you do?"
"Well, I'd feel sorry for them. I'd probably put some medicine on the badly hurt ones or clean up the dead ones."
"You understand well."
"...Don't tell me that was Leviathan's psychological state just now?"
I nodded.
Among the many beings of status, deep-sea dragon Leviathan was particularly interested in life forms.
The problem was that it was about the level of interest one would have in hamsters beyond a cage.
It was purely out of curiosity—a capricious being.
Then.
[Aria!]
Erik's voice came from behind.
Erik was running toward the fallen Aria.
Erik had regained his neat and handsome young man appearance.
What floated above his head wasn't a red nameplate symbolizing a monster.
<Erik>
A green nameplate symbolizing an NPC.
The prince of Aldecargas had finally regained his true form.
Soon, Erik embraced Aria and shouted.
Thanks to Leviathan's magic, Aria had also regained her delicate and beautiful mermaid form.
Thanks to Leviathan, no terrible wounds remained either.
[Aria! Please...]
At that moment, Aria slowly opened her eyes.
[E...rik...?]
[Ah! Thank you, God! Aria, I'm truly... truly sorry. To hurt you...]
Tears flowed down Erik's cheeks.
Aria reached out to wipe those tears.
[It's okay. Prince, you came to save me. That's enough.]
[Aria...]
The two quietly embraced each other.
Then.
"Sob...! Ugh...! It's so touching..."
No Name began sniffling while covering her mouth.
Do Jeha and Satoshi also looked warmly at the mermaid princess and human prince.
"Well, let's skip the common happy ending event scene. Shall we continue looting items with excited hearts?"
I stepped forward to check the dropped items.
Then No Name immediately tackled me.
"No way! Too much! You're going to go loot items in front of such a touching scene? You really!"
"You're the one rudely disturbing those two people. When lovers who haven't seen each other in a long time are having an intimate moment, isn't it proper etiquette to quietly skip and step aside?"
"Hmm...! Now that you mention it, that's true."
"Then follow me. Let's see what items a Grade 1 boss dropped."
We moved near the items Ursula had dropped.
Then we checked the closest pillars of light first.
—Ding dong!
‡ Coral Crystal Curved Blade ‡
Rarity: Grade 3
—Attack Power +2,350
—Critical Hit Damage Increase +15%
※A pink, luminous gem sword.
‡ Sword of the Blue Abyss ‡
Rarity: Grade 3
—Attack Power +2,800
—Critical Hit Damage Increase +5%
※Usually blades are said to be sharp, but this one is literally blue in color.
A curved blade with pink coral crystal bent into boomerang shape.
And a longsword with a dark blue blade.
Both swords were Grade 3 items.
The attack power itself wasn't particularly notable, but the critical options were key.
I handed them to Do Jeha.
"Hey, Do. You worked hard. Here's your meal allowance."
"Thanks. I'll be able to get stronger thanks to this."
Do Jeha, who received the Coral Crystal Curved Blade and Sword of the Blue Abyss, brought them to his Jeoneo-do.
Then.
Wooom— Wooom— Wooom—
The Jeoneo-do emitted brilliant light and absorbed the weapons.
‡ Jeoneo-do ‡
Rarity: Grade 3 (↑UP)
<Observer's Record>
The sword used by the first king of the ancient kingdom Arcania.
Even peerless blacksmiths couldn't guess the method or materials used to create this sword.
—Attack Power +1,800 (↑UP)
—Skill 'Blood Drain' available
—Critical Hit Damage Increase +20% (NEW)
※There's speculation that it might have been made in autumn.
Not only attack power but also critical hit damage options were properly attached.
'Do Jeha also acquired the 'Smiling Man Mask' last time, right? That item has 35% critical hit rate, so he'll be able to deal solid critical damage going forward.'
Meanwhile.
"Huh? What's this?"
No Name was tilting her head while holding a large wooden plank.
‡ Tsunami Chaser's Keel ‡
Rarity: Grade 3
<Observer's Record>
A bow frame made by refining the keel of the legendary pirate ship 'Tsunami Chaser' that once dominated all seas.
It's such a precise component that only skilled craftsmen can handle it.
Even in a craftsman's hands, it might be permanently unusable without a matching bowstring.
※You ask what happened to the pirate ship if this is the keel? Well... that's how pirates are.
I looked at No Name and said.
"You take that. It's a material item for making an overpowered ranged weapon later."
"Oh? Really!? Is it better than a composite bow? How do you make it?"
"Hey, No. If you're too greedy, you'll get in trouble? I'll tell you everything when the time comes, so don't be impatient."
