Episode 56
[Notice: You have killed the < Swamp Zombie >!]
[Notification: You have obtained EXP!]
“Oh. You can see how rich the experience is.”
Damian smiled as he saw the experience point acquisition message floating in front of him.
It wasn’t a bad experience.
Most of the hunting grounds in the 4th to 50th level that can be found near Terra are to enter the < 3rd floor of the underground waterway > or higher located under the kingdom or to visit the dungeons around the < Duke of Parma > called the < Ivory Tower of Truth >.
In addition, the level of monsters rose rapidly after level 30, and the fact that there was a lot of gold for potion prices and equipment had a disadvantage that it was not as efficient as expected.
It was because the experience was too tight compared to the difficulty.
Of course, places like < Collapsed Mage Tower > or < Forgotten Dark Magician's Research Center > were good sources of income, with the items that were dropped reaching tens of thousands of gold.
However, it is not possible to push only with the tempo because it is often dangerous when a large number of monsters have patterns and characteristics.
The downside was that you couldn’t comfortably find a place where monsters were concentrated and hunt.
‘In short, it must mean that a level of physical strength is required.’
In other words, even if equipped with equipment such as the < +9 Sashimi > held by gold coins or the < +6 Heavy Hunting Arbalist > held by God when brushed, if a monster with elite characteristics or a named level monster would appear.
Because Tempgwi without physicality was just a bright dog apricot.
“Gel gel gel gel –!!”
“The bones are coming.”
So instead of being frightened or frowning at the < Swamp Skeletons > and < Swamp Zombies > that were rushing at him, Damian was able to hold his hands behind his back.
[Swamp Skeleton]
An undead living in Kirikorum Swamp. Due to the remnants of black magic hundreds of years ago, it attacks intruders by wandering around the swampy area where it used to be a safe house. It is characterized by being re-summoned over time due to the mana stored in the swamp and the old summoning circle.
Race : Undead
Type : Normal
Level : 38
Special Note : When you are attacked, there is a certain chance that you will fall into a < weak > or < darkness > state, so be careful!
[Swamp Zombies]
Zombies that appear in Kirikorum Swamps. This is a case where a corpse drowned in a swamp turned into a monster with deep resentment. Due to his failure to attain Buddhahood, he lost his sense of reason and had the habit of blindly hunting the living.
Race: Undead
Type: Normal
Level: 36
Special Note: When attacked, you can get < Poisoning > and < Bleeding > with a certain probability, so be very careful.
These two types of monsters that Damian is currently dealing with are less threatening monsters than the swamp alligators he encounters while traveling from island to island.
Because it continues to regenerate from one specific place after a certain period of time, it was able to produce much better efficiency than mid-level hunting grounds near the Kingdom of Terra.
“For smooth hunting, it is best to memorize the entire swamp terrain. If you are a summoner or taming class, you can use your familiar to move from island to island. It’s too slow to wait for an island to regenerate.”
Quaang!
Damian deflected the sword of the first swamp skeleton that rushed in and thrust his fist into his face.
It was so powerful that it could turn the man’s throat in an instant.
Of course, due to the characteristics of swamp skeletons as undead monsters, even if their heads fell off, they could still move their limbs.
For Damian, whose strength and agility stats were over 30, the swamp skeletons with their heads off were not a big threat.
For him, who knew that attacking his head would drastically drop his accuracy rate, he had no choice but to be a swamp skeleton.
“ah. For reference, it is difficult to inflict abnormal status attacks on undead. There is no other way than to induce < burn > by burning it. In that case, like this…”
“Keeeeee!!”
Wedge!
As the swamp zombie charged, Damian burrowed into his arms.
It was an exquisite move.
Due to the reaction of the super sense < Sixth Sense >, Damian was able to realize another new fact.
That obviously meant that the target’s weaknesses were displayed in full color, like in < Hawkeye > or < Find Weakness >.
It was kind of passive.
< Sixth Sense >, which was only a little better than others, was able to read the opponent’s form and mana flow in color.
Now, Damian raises his senses at the timing he wants and induces Bullet Time with full concentration.
It had become a level enough to recognize the vulnerabilities and vital points of the swamp zombies at a glance.
“…It’s much better to do a physical blow like this. Unless it’s divine spells or holy attribute magic.”
Quadduk!
Damian’s < +9 sashimi > pierced the bottom of his chin and pierced the top of the swamp zombie’s head in one fell swoop.
“Everyone, I’m going to a mad movie to commemorate your subscription. I would like to ask for one like.”
Dig!
And Damian’s new model disappeared from sight leaving a red light for an instant.
* * *
[Notification: EXP obtained!]
[Notification: EXP obtained!]
[Notification: EXP obtained!]
[Notification: EXP obtained!]
….
[Notification: Level up!]
[Notice: You have reached level 40!]
“Pu-ha.”
Damian tilted his head, not paying attention to the message announcing the level up.
It was after drinking the mana potion like an ionic drink.
And around Damian, there were dozens of corpses covered in bones and mud.
At first glance, the place where Damian was standing had a grotesque corner that reminded him of a landfill with an epidemic or a battlefield of fierce battles.
It was the scene of a massacre that was hard to believe that a level 40 user had done.
“Now… if it’s a city like this, then everyone is gone. About 200 to 300 per term. If you go to the first location, the monsters will respawn. There are also small islands, but there are often crocodiles, so it is better to avoid them.”
Damian wiped the sweat from his chin and pointed to the swampy island on the other side.
His entire body was wet with sweat.
The < Beginner's Shirt >, which has been see-through for a long time and whose function is close to zero, and the bronze-colored muscles that emit white steam above it.
“Gel-Gel…”
“Greuk… Greuk…!”
And with the faint sound of bubbling from the swampy island Damian pointed out, swamp zombies and swamp skeletons were rising one by one from the mud.
– Zz Iljin Seonghun zZ: Wow;; what is time counting;
– Tangle Gyeongri: Is this a possible part? Aren’t you selling drugs?
– Macree: Looking at the 2nd floor of the underground waterway, it looks like a fairy here
.
– Gang Ho-gu V: Yes~ I’ve already seen 30,000 people~ All the hunting spots are pre-occupied lol
– The jungle is gone: It would be okay to settle down one island at a time, right?
Although it would be impossible to eat alone due to the crowd of people.
As he said, if he could memorize all the topography of the Kirikorum swamp, it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to move from island to island and turn the monster’s regeneration cycle.
– Sechemi Parker Sense: ㅁㅋ It’s all real ;;
– Battered pork cutlet: Do you lose money if you don’t subscribe?
– Zl Zone Thieves v: What time is the broadcast tomorrow?
– Life Hoolala: Really, this streamer is a legend. He completely turned the stage upside down
.
-Three generations of chino: What is Ma Dorat or Dil?;;
– Ingye-dong Bupatta: Isn’t it a bug??
-Chicken is always right: Control is
a dog.
….
As Damian defeated dozens of monsters, the chat window rose rapidly.
It was truly explosive firepower.
For example, right after AC officially launched its service, there were many streamers who broadcast with various concepts and occupations.
Among them, there weren’t that many streamers who deserved the word < overwhelming > among the leading platforms including the Switch.
Among them, Damian’s channel could be said to be the only channel that provides tips and explanations about the hunting grounds like Damian, as well as information that he did not know before.
The approach itself was different.
In the case of streamers who usually broadcast AC as content, most of them broadcast to find out the patterns of monsters based on their own specifications.
Among them, exploration-type or production-type subclass streamers explore new terrain with a spirit that others cannot even dare to dare.
It was common to attract viewers by producing rare items until they became successful.
[Notice: < Coco Jjaeng > has subscribed for 1 month!]
[Notice: < Bald Lee Tae-seong > has subscribed for 6 months!]
[Notice: < Stuffed Pork Cutlet > has subscribed for 2 months!]
[Notice: Dear You have subscribed for 8 months!]
[Notice: < Don't eat, yield > has subscribed for 9 months!]
“…oh.”
As a result, Damian had no choice but to open his mouth blankly, forgetting to say thanks as he watched the firepower of paid subscriptions increase along with the chattering chatter.
This system, which regularly sponsors a specific streamer by paying money in advance for at least one month, is the twin carriage of BM (Business Model) that feeds the switch along with paid advertisements.
It was because it was the number one contributor to making the switch the world’s largest Internet broadcasting platform.
“Is the owner done with his duty! Mungchi and his younger siblings picked up everything to use!”
“ok. Good job.”
As Damian sprawled out on the floor, Moongchi and the new chicks rushed towards him.
It was because he had summoned them beforehand.
As Damian mentioned on the broadcast earlier, the poison dart attacks of the new chicks, including the mungchi, were useless against the undead type swamp zombies and swamp skeletons.
Instead of ordering the mungchi to attack, Damian scatters new chicks all over Kirikorum Swamp.
I have figured out the number of monsters that can be regenerated on each island or ordered to drive them by pulling
aggro…
– Shuratoai: Is it a pet? or redemption?
– Euniku Yang: Cuteσ(≧ε≦ｏ)!!!
– Glass Ball Dueyon: I don’t have a pet
– Emilia Tang S2: I want one!
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the increase in firepower in the chat window at the sight of such a bunch and new chicks was natural enough that Damian, the person in charge, did not have to intend it.
‘Whoops. It’s all useful at times like this.’
“Are you the owner?”
It was because the mungchi and the new chicks looking up at him had their yellow fur tumbling so that it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a walking hairball.
“Okay—then, today’s streaming ends here. Thank you so much to everyone who has been with us so far and to those who have watched the video. see you next time.”
Poof!
And the moment Damien ended the recording by raising his palm awkwardly while looking at the camera.
– Coco Jjaeng: ㄴㅇㅅㅇ!!
– Masamdae several chino: ㄴㅇㅅㅋ~!!
– Bald Lee Tae-seong: ㅇㅅㅇ~!!
– Ingye-dong Bulpatta: ㄴㅇㅇ~!!
– Chicken is always right: ㄴㅇㄴㅋ~!!
Chatting with a consonant meaning “See you tomorrow” surged at an alarming rate, and at the same time, the number of recommendations on his channel, which had its live broadcast turned off, began to increase exponentially.
It was the moment that announced the birth of a major streamer.
