‘Is it because I destroyed the circle?’
When he had destroyed the summoning circle the first time he hadn’t received a notification . No, he did, but it wasn’t for the quest, instead, creating another quest to destroy a recovery circle .
‘So, this species is a Wolf-Orc chimera?’
A chimera itself was a monster that was created by combining different monsters and this particular variant of chimera was a combination of both an Orc and a Wolf as the name suggested .
Soo Hyuk never thought that the chimera would literally be named for its previous parts . Though, it didn’t matter much to him, so he turned around with a shrug .
– Soo Hyuk: I am done here . I’m coming back .
Soo Hyuk sent Kamian a voice message as he returned then, opened his quest window .
〈The Troubled Underground Waterway〉
In the underground sewers of Hadrac, chimeras suddenly began appearing in the waterways . Ian and Alex made the decision to clean up the underground waterways, but the chimeras were strong and possessed powerful poison . In the end, the expedition failed, and the most they could achieve was to prevent the chimeras from escaping . Clean the underground waterways of the chimeras and identify their source!
[Chimera Summoning Circle A: 1 / 1]
[Chimera Summoning Circle B: 0 / 1]
[Chimera Summoning Circle C: 0 / 1]
[Chimera Summoning Circle D: 0 / 1]
[Chimera Summoning Circle E: 0 / 1]
[Chimera Summoning Circle F: 0 / 1]
[Chimera: 64 / ??? ]
[Quest reward: S-Rank Promotion, ??? ]
‘Still, five of them left . ’
Soo Hyuk had completed one of the quest requirements by destroying the Wolf-Orc summoning circle A . Now the remaining summoning circles B, C, D, E, and F remained . If he destroyed the remaining summoning circles then he would complete the quest .
‘If I include the Recovery circles, then it would add up to 10 magic circles . ’
Of course, there wasn’t any guarantee that was a Recovery circle with every Summoning circle . But, the possibility wasn’t low, so if he kept that suspicion in mind, then the total number of magic circles should be as many as 10 .
‘Should I do what I did with the first Summoning circle?’
Soo Hyuk calculated his next moves as he closed the quest window . Last time when he tried to destroy the summoning circle a quest had appeared to destroy the recovery circle . His mind moved, trying to figure out what his next steps should be .
“The reason why I saw the recovery circle and not Roa, it was all because I received the quest…’
If Roa had the quest, then she could have seen the recovery circle . But, she didn’t have it and was unable to see the circle .
‘If I cast magic on that place…’
Just because the recovery magic was invisible, didn’t mean it didn’t exist . So, what would happen if he cast magic on that spot?
‘I’ll need to experiment . ’
He needed to know if his experiment would lead to the destruction of the magic circles, or if nothing would happen . So, Soo Hyuk decided his next destination .
‘It would be better without them . ’
He would be relieved if there wasn’t much chance of there being recovery circles .
“You’re here!”
“Yes, shall we continue?”
Returning to the intersection, Soo Hyuk answered Kamian as he replied to Kamiam . He pulled out his Map and unfolded it while gesturing toward his next destination .
“What kind of chimeras is there?”
Soo Hyuk asked Kamian while gesturing to his next destination .
“Is this where you are going?”
“Yes . ”
“From here . ”
Kamian pointed his finger at a certain part of the map and answered .
“Hmm, the chimeras here should be a combination of foxes and goblins . ”
So, that was their new destination .
“A Fox and Goblin?”
“Yes, and they are called Fox-Goblin chimeras . ”
Kamian saw Soo Hyuk’s confused expression and nodded his head .
“They are quite different than those Wolf-Orc chimeras . ”
“Different?”
“Yes, in Wolf-Orc chimeras, the wolf was the one who attacked with poison, right?”
“Yes, you’re right . ”
“Unlike the Wolf-Orc, the fox isn’t who attacks with poison, it’s the goblin . Whenever the Wolf-Orc attacked, it was the orc who used physical attacks while the wolf spat out poison .
“Hmm, that would be tricky . ”
Soo Hyuk commented .
“Yes, but I don’t think you’ll have to worry about the poison attacks . ”
“…”
Hearing Kamians words, Soo Hyuk couldn’t help wondering why he wouldn’t need to worry . Were they prepared for it?
“Ketoto! Show him!”
Seeing Soo Hyuk’s puzzled expression, Kamian exclaimed .
“Okay!”
Ketoto, who was vaguely listening to their conversation, suddenly opened his inventory pulling out a shield .
However, even after looking at the shield, Soo Hyuk couldn’t shed off his doubts . They may use the shield, but it was too small . No more than 40cm in diameter .
However, in the following moment, Soo Hyuk was able to let go of his doubts .
Siaak!
The small shield suddenly enlarged in size .
“This shield is a specialized weapon, so we don’t have to worry about their poison . ”
“So the poisonous attacks are not of concern,”
Kamian said looking at the shield .
“But…”
He slurred his words as he looked into Soo Hyuk’s eyes, saying .
“B-But there is one problem . ”
Of course, there was a problem, if not they would have met the requirements for completing the quest .
“Problem?”
“Yes, we might be safe from the incoming attacks, but it won’t be easy for us to attack . ”
The main issue was the fox who didn’t take part in the offense but instead moved around, making it difficult to hit the Fox-Goblin chimera .
The shield could protect them from the poison attack, however, they couldn’t attack while the shield was up .
“Oh, I see…”
Soo Hyuk nodded, understanding the situation .
‘But if I cast Poison Storm or FireStorm…’
It was true Soo Hyuk had various tricks up his sleeves which included spells that could be cast regardless of a protective shield . But, the issue was the duration and continuous casting such spells .
‘It’ll take too long . ’
The spells took too much time .
“Then for now . ”
After pondering, Soo Hyuk opened his mouth .
“I’ll take the hits . ”
“Huh?”
Kamian was taken aback, not only him, but Ketoto, K-Cross, and Garan who had been silently listening to the conversation in silence were also surprised .
“We can fully block the poison attacks, and they wouldn’t be weak . ”
The poison attacks wouldn’t be light . So, Kamian couldn’t help but voice his concern as he was sure they were able to completely block the attacks with the shield .
