Closed Beta I Played Alone

Episode 95. 500 level limited arena quest (2).

NPCs, NPCs, NPCs, and then NPCs appeared as dueling opponents.

Of course, the result was always the same.

with my victory.

but.

“Do NPCs appear this often?”

half and half.

Obviously, it was said that users and NPCs appear roughly half and half.

However, the NPC appeared 6 times in a row, and the same was true for the 7th time.

[The 7th battle opponent has been decided.

-The seasoned assassin Baldi appears.]

As soon as the seasoned assassin Baldi appeared, he disappeared from the front as if he had used a blink.

He, of course, didn't worry too much.

After all, the only place I will show up is on either side of me or behind me.

That is, around me.

So I quietly opened my mouth.

“Ice Storm.”

The Ice Storm used with me at the center.

puck! Bubbly! puck!

“Big.”

That's why I heard a scream and the sound of hitting something.

"okay. You were there.”

I quickly turned back at the sound of screams filled with pain, exactly behind me.

And if it was a monster, it would run at me recklessly without thinking of escaping out of the Ice Storm area while taking damage, but because it was an NPC, Baldi was different.

He could be seen pulling himself out of the Ice Storm's realm quickly, as if he had disappeared for the first time.

It's almost like using Blink in a row.

But I had it too.

“Blink.”

I immediately moved behind the assassin Baldi.

Then, he used an Ice Spear and multiple Ice Arrows on the back of Assassin Baldi.

puck! Bubbly!

The assassin Baldi, who performed similar space movement to Blink twice in a row, seemed to be difficult three times in a row.

By allowing my attacks as is.

And the attack was over.

[You have killed the veteran assassin Baldi.

-Win: 7 times. Win streak: 7 times.

-You will be moved to the waiting room.]

Of course, the opponent that appeared gradually became stronger.

He wasn't in the Ice Storm realm for much of the time, but assassin Baldi got through it anyway.

But that was all.

Anyway, when I moved back to the waiting room, I opened my mouth softly.

"okay. It’s not that the winning streak doesn’t go up just because your opponent is an NPC, so anyone can come out.”

And soon after, a message rang saying that the eighth opponent had been decided.

At that time, Japan.

Sousuke, a college student, logged on to ‘Revival Legend’ to take advantage of his little time before going to a part-time job.

Of course, Sousuke had no intention of hunting.

It's been a while since he stopped at level 599.

Because Sousuke was working as a so-called “level 500 professional hunter” that preyed on those who were doing the level 500-limited arena quests.

So he kept the 500 level, a good match for them.

Of course, at level 599, the edge of level 500, to gain a slight edge.

And soon after entering the arena and choosing a free duel, Sousuke prayed to face the person who was in the process of a level 500-limited arena quest.

This is because he deliberately did not level up and stopped at level 599 and had a reason to play nogada instead of nogada.

If you beat the person who proceeds with the level 500-limited arena quest, you get three times the victory points, unlike the normal duel opponent.

It's as if he doesn't look at someone who is running a level 500-limited arena quest and asks him to win the fight.What's more, even if you lose to those who proceed with the 500-level limited arena quest, you do not lose victory points.

In other words, it is a situation where there is only profit and there is no reality.

So Sousuke stopped leveling up at 599 to collect those victory points.

Because there were various items that could be purchased with the victory points in the arena.

Of course the name.

Of course, if you are not a person who is doing the 500-level limited arena quest, which is the target, if you are caught by a strong person, you will be blunt and donate some of the victory points you have recklessly collected, but Sousuke has not suffered any losses yet.

but.

‘There are a lot of new users, so it’s still worth doing, but on the contrary, there are also 500 level professional hunters, so unlike before, the frequency of meeting people who do the 500 level limited arena quests is decreasing. Occasionally, he encounters those hunters unlucky. now really fast

I'll just have to buy a ching and start leveling up again.'

So Sousuke checked the few victory points left until the purchase of the title and waited for the match.

And as soon as he saw the message that he was a match, he put a smile on his face.

The fact that the opponent's ID is not disclosed means that the opponent is the one who proceeds with the level 500-limited arena quest.

And Kosuke had a win rate of nearly 90% in a battle with such a person.

First of all, the level difference alone was level 99, and the items were not bad in their own way, and decisively, I had a lot of combat experience like this.

Battlefield waiting room.

“Um… why is it taking a little longer this time?”

10 seconds? At about that point, there was always a message that the next duel opponent had been decided.

But this time it was much longer.

And the message that rang at that time was different from before.

[The eighth battle opponent has been decided.

-0000 has appeared.]

Through the message, I could tell that the other party was a user.

Unlike NPCs, where compromise itself is impossible even if the name is revealed, it is possible to compromise to some extent even if users do not communicate with each other.

So, even though the conversation does not work in the first place, even the ID will be processed privately.

Anyway, soon after leaving the waiting room, I was moved to the arena and faced one user.

And immediately used the skill.

To be honest, even if we had a conversation, there's no need to compromise with him for victory, but in the end, he'll pass by.

“Ice Field. and superimposed thin ice.”

Passionate!

As soon as the NPCs appeared, they immediately attempted to attack me.

It's as if you know that first win is the most powerful attack of any kind.

However, the user who just appeared looked up and down as if criticizing me, and in the meantime, a battlefield advantageous to me was created.

And the battlefield favorable to me means the worst battlefield to the opponent.

Soon after, he launched the most powerful attack on him.

“Ice Storm!”

puck! Bubbly Puck!

dump.

“…I really prefer NPCs.”

I had no choice but to bite my tongue at the sight of a user whose name was not known as it was overbearing the link between Ice Field and Ice Storm.

Compared to the NPC who decided that the attack had to get out of the damage range at the moment, or the monster that ran towards me even if I died anyway, the action of an unknown user was an action with zero points.

In any case, the message rang because the victory was achieved.

[You have killed 0000.

-Win: 8 times. Win streak: 8 times.

-You will be moved to the waiting room.]

Japan.

“……”

Even after being thrown out of the arena in defeat, Sousuke had no choice but to sit there blankly for a while.

Only 2 attacks.

And he was killed in the attack, and of course Sousuke had never had such an experience.

Moreover, the fact that the victory points were not deducted even though the ID was defeated in secret was also a clear proof that the opponent was level 500.

"Who is it? How... is that possible? It’s definitely level 500.”

But Sousuke couldn't figure out who it was.

Just as the level 100 and level 300 limited quests did not take place in one area, the level 500 limited quest is not a quest that only proceeds in one area.

In other words, the possibility that he is not Japanese is quite high.

So Sousuke gave up on further dueling.

Because it was obvious that it wasn't going to happen anyway.

And Sousuke wasn't the only one who experienced and felt it.

Even the United States, China, and Russia stopped the level at 599, and some of those who were active as 'level 500 professional hunters' looked desperate like Sousuke.

As if the other party's ID was not disclosed, it was as if when was the first time he realized that he was the one who was doing the level 500-limited arena quest and smiled.

The arena of Ferrero Castle.

“Ice Storm! The pouring hail!”

puck! puck! Bubbly!

poop. poop poop.

dump.

The opponent was knocked down by the attack.

And one word came to mind.

Die right away.

As much as that, the opponents who appeared as my enemies went down pick-and-pick before I could do anything.

Of course, regardless of the user or NPC.

Of course I expected it.

It doesn't make any sense to be in a crisis or trouble with my status window and items available now.

What's more, this quest is limited to level 500, and the dueling opponent is also matched based on that level.

That's why we recorded the same win and streak.

In other words, it also meant that we had recorded the victories so far.

[000 has been slain.

-Win: 20 times. Win streak: 20 times.

-You will be moved to the waiting room.]

The waiting room was soon in front of me.

And then, a message other than the message that the next person had been decided rang out.

[The record is 20 wins out of 20.

- As a result, you will be given a chance to face high-level opponents, and better rewards will be provided if you win the duel.

-Would you like to try?]

fuck.

The message brought a smile to my lips without realizing it.

'Cause I've been waiting for this

So I immediately opened my mouth.

“Challenge!”

And as if he knew how to make that choice, as soon as I finished my words, a message rang saying that a new battle partner had been decided.

[The 21st battle opponent has been decided.

-Mowgli, the commander of the Knights of Pylan, appears.]

Soon in the arena, an NPC boasting a bigger size than anyone he had ever faced appeared in the arena.

Then he immediately raised his huge two-handed sword and ran towards me.

However.

“Ice Field. and superimposed thin ice.”

Knowing that whoever the opponent is, just what I do is enough, I calmly laid the ice field and used the link between the ice storm and the pouring hail.

The opponent is a close-range type that uses a two-handed sword, and in the end, to deal damage to me, I have to stick to my close range.

Of course, as the name of the Knight Commander suggests, Mowgli withstood my attacks.

No, not at the level of endurance, but through my attacks, he came to me and attacked me.

🥳.

However, the two-handed sword wielded by the Knights Commander Mowgli emptied only the space I was in.

To be honest, it doesn't matter if you just hit me, but Blink is what I'm supposed to use in this case.

Anyway, by moving to the back of the Knight Commander Mowgli, he poured ice rain and ice spears directly on his huge back, which was clearly visible.

And no matter how much the message foretold the emergence of a more powerful being, that was enough.

thud!

by falling sideways.

At that moment, a message rang.

[You have defeated Mowgli, the Knight Commander of the Knights of Pylan.

-Win: 21 times. Win streak: 21 times.

-You will be moved to the waiting room.]So, starting with Mowgli, the commander of the Knights of Pylan, victories and winning streak continued to accumulate.

Players also appeared in the middle between NPCs.

With a slightly perplexed expression on her face.

Of course, I fully understand why he makes such an expression.

Because they can't see my ID, they know that I'm currently working on a level 500 limited arena quest.

And they also died without much resistance to me at level 500.

In any case, the message rang once again when the 20-game winning streak, which had clearly foretold the emergence of a strong player, to 30 consecutive victories.

I was given the opportunity to face a stronger opponent, and asked if I would take up the challenge.

I chose to challenge that message of course.

Of course, I thought that it could be louder than I thought with that choice.

However, since Ashirante is a known ID as soon as it is known, he decided that there is no need to hide it now.

He chose to do his best to get a sure reward.

So Hong Jooyoung No, while Ashirante went through round 30 and challenged round 40, which became even more powerful.

Rumors were spreading on their own.

Obviously, he is a person who is doing a level 500-limited arena quest, but with the content that he is absurdly strong.

Of course, there were quite a few people who knew that that being was called Ashrantera.

In the 4th anniversary event, when a country called Korea, which I never expected, took first place, you and I conducted an investigation, and in the meantime, it cost a little, but it was not as difficult as I thought to get a memory marble.

So, generally speaking, there are two reactions.

Those who don't want to lose face by confronting them for nothing, and those who try to face each other once and check the strength of the other person.

Of course, there is no guarantee that you will face Ashirante.

Anyway, Ashirante's level 500-limited arena quest, which drew everyone's attention to the arena, continued.

The arena of Ferrero Castle.

[00 has been defeated.

-Win: 49 times. Win streak: 49 times.

-You will be moved to the waiting room.]

“Huh… this is a complete scam.”

Of course I won.

It's definitely not difficult either.

But the opponent was better than expected.

In particular, he had a unique ability to limit it to a skill category.

Immediate damage immunity.

Of course, while the opponent was immune to damage, he did not move.

No, it didn't seem possible.

Moreover, it was not used indefinitely without a cooldown.

But his fighting sense was amazing.

I used it for a short time when I needed it, and after leaving the place, it attacked me again.

It is also accompanied by excellent damage.

However.

“At the end of the day, yes. By the way, is this the last round?”

The 500-level limited arena quest was completed exactly 50 rounds.

Of course, if the win rate was not even half-threshed, round 10, round 20, round 30, and round 40 were also over.

But that didn't apply to me at all and, of course, my goal was also to win in round 50.

Now the last round is left.

“Are you a little awake by the way?”

The message to decide the last person had already passed for about a minute, but it didn't ring.

But I wasn't in a hurry.

After all, whoever the opponent is, I have the confidence to win.

And then a message rang to confirm that the partner had been decided.

[The 50th battle opponent has been decided.

-lumen, Ashirante appears.]

“?”

First of all, I couldn't help but be a little confused by the message that appeared in front of me.

No, quite a lot.

'Cause I'm the lumen, you know.
