Chapter 120
‘What? What’s this?’
Dong Pao was greatly confused .
The road from Rolling to the Vatican was originally very peaceful . The paladins regularly scouted, so it was difficult to find thieves, monsters and beasts . It could be called one of the few safe zones on the continent .
However, today the monsters popped out without any hesitation . Just like water pouring from a collapsed dam, the monsters swooped down and attacked Grid and Dong Pao .
“Pant… Pant… There are so many monsters in the vicinity…”
Thanks to that, Dong Pao was exhausted .
It had been less than a hour since they left Rolling, and they had already fought over 100 monsters without a break . His mana had been depleted a few times, making him drink mana potions . Now his stamina was going to be depleted .
“Pant pant! Strange! Really strange! I’ve used this road several hundred times, but it is the first time I’ve seen this! Pant pant!” Dong Pao couldn’t accept the current situation . He struggled to use Heal on Grid, who was killing the lizardmen surrounding them . “Why are there so many monsters here… Strange!”
They needed to move 15km more to reach the point he was supposed to lure Grid . But monsters kept showing up, so it seemed like the two people would lose their lives before even reaching the target . How many people met and died from monsters in the safety zones? Perhaps he would be the first . How unfair and embarrassing was this?
Dong Pao despaired .
Then the source of this incident, Grid furtively took off his cloak .
‘I currently have a healing shuttle… Unfortunately, it’s time for a break . ’
[Malacus’ Cloak has been unequipped . ]
Malacus’ Cloak gave off a bloody scent that attracted all types of monsters hiding in the vicinity . As soon as Grid put the cloak into the inventory, no more monsters appeared . But Dong Pao was too busy to observe Grid properly, so he didn’t realize that Grid was the source .
Grid dealt with the remaining monsters .
Kiyaaaaak!
[You have defeated a giant salamander . ]
[Party leader ‘Grid’ has acquired the salamander’s gallbladder . ]
[Party leader ‘Grid’ has acquired the rare pearl . ]
[203,000 experience has been acquired . ]
[You have defeated an iran clan lizardman . ]
[Party leader ‘Grid’ has acquired the Usable Scimitar . ]
[Party leader ‘Grid’ has acquired a sapphire . ]
[255,000 experience has been acquired . ]
Dran Valley, where crystal clear water flowed!
The monsters here were much stronger than the monsters of Suaz Mountains . They had a minimum level of 190 and higher, so even Grid struggled if there were more than seven monsters . However, he had Dong Pao’s healing, so he could successfully hunt them .
‘The Heal of a level 160 priest is truly tremendous . Kukuk, I can wait to go to the Vatican as long as I have this heal shuttle . ’
Grid was delighted because he gained a tremendous amount of experience, despite being in a party with Dong Pao . However, he made a disgruntled facial expression and groaned . “Phew, I thought I was going to die . This is the first time I’ve seen so many monsters . Was this area originally like this?”
Dong Pao shook his head at Grid’s words . “I don’t know what’s going on . Originally, this is a place where monsters rarely pop up… I didn’t even know that there were so many monsters here . I have goosebumps… Sigh…”
Dong Pao peeked at the dagger held in Grid’s hands while he was lamenting .
‘There is a deep blue aura like sea around that dagger… It’s a weapon enhanced to at least +8 . Huge . ’
It was after he joined the party with Grid . He originally thought that Grid managed to come to Rolling alone, despite being only level 147, was purely because of luck .
Now that they’d fought together, he realized that Grid was really strong compared to his level . The reason Grid was able to cross the Suaz Mountains wasn’t because of luck, but because of strength .
‘The secret of his strength is that +8 dagger… A dagger might be weak in attack power compared to a one-handed sword or blunt weapon, but… A dagger enhanced to this extent can deal more damage than a blunt weapon . ’
A dagger had a fast attack speed, but weak attack power . However, Grid’s dagger had both excellent attack speed and attack power .
‘He must be quite rich if he is carrying that weapon . Okay, I can get more profit than I thought . If I can take this dagger…!’
‘This is enough rest . ’ As Dong Pao was smiling nastily, Grid put on Malacus’ Cloak . He got up from his seat and urged Dong Pao . “It is time to move . We don’t want to be too late . ”
“Yes… But before that…”
Dong Pao stared at Grid with sharp eyes . Grid thought Dong Pao noticed Malacus’ Cloak and gulped . Then Dong Pao said to him . “Item distribution… Can you change it to sequential distribution instead of party leader distribution? Brother, let’s be fair . ”
“…Just keep it as party leader distribution for now . With sequential distribution, the expensive items might be given to only one person and that isn’t fair . We’ll split the proceeds in half once we arrive at the destination, so don’t worry . ”
“No, but…”
Grid’s destination was the Vatican . But Dong Pao’s planned destination was a place where Grid would die before he arrived at the Vatican . If the item distribution method wasn’t changed now, Dong Pao wouldn’t receive the items . So he wanted to change it to sequential distribution .
But Grid was stubborn . Ho was already walking .
‘Damn bastard!’ Dong Pao cursed to himself . Then he tried to think positively . ‘Yes, I will get a lot of money from him . ’
Dong Pao smiled as he watched the quickly walking Grid . He thought that Grid’s urgent demand was funny . But the smile on Dong Pao’s face quickly disappeared . Had it been five minutes since they started walking again? New monsters appeared like a cloud and Dong Pao went crazy .
“What the hell is this? Why do these monsters keep constantly appearing?”
“Didn’t you do hard quests as part of the Rebecca Church? Perhaps this is a trial from Goddess Rebecca?”
Grid was using method acting . He was good at pretending that he wasn’t the source attracting the monsters . As a result, Dong Pao didn’t suspect Grid at all .
“No! I’ve never heard of a trial that involved hunting monsters! And a quest window didn’t pop up…!”
“Hrmm… Please support me while I’m taking care of them . Thank you . ”
“Yes…”
Dong Pao was depressed at the thought of consuming so many expensive mana potions . On the other hand, Grid was rejoicing .
‘I have a free heal shuttle so I should use it as much as possible!’
That’s right . Grid had been aiming for this since he got a party with a healer for free . Until they arrived at the Vatican, he was going to rely on Dong Pao’s healing for infinite hunting . Dong Pao was aiming for Grid’s life while Grid was aiming to use him .
The two men continued the repeated hunting and…
