Chapter 9: Cap:9 - Avoid Wherever You Go
The battlefield is turbulent.
Zarek Gideon's seemingly magnificent sword was like waves in the ocean on the battlefield, nothing remarkable.
But to the eyes of the players on the edge of the battlefield, that figure had already firmly fixed their gaze.
Because no one had killed elite monsters since the server launch.
Not even Kairo Rengo, the assassin who completed faction missions using a knife.
Because killing elite monsters is not required in his faction mission.
Under everyone's gaze, a burst of pale green blood rose into the sky.
This blood was not very exaggerated, but it was particularly eye-catching to the players.
At the moment the green blood shot out, a notification appeared in Zarek Gideon's eyes.
[Reminder: You killed the "Carcass Butcher" and gained 50 experience points, faction mission progress: Carcass Butcher (completed)]
Just after the notification appeared, the fat body of the butcher was disappearing at a visible speed.
In the position of its head, a blue light could be clearly seen.
"Send!"
Zarek Gideon's eyes lit up.
But because he was on the battlefield, dense claws were attacking him from all directions.
So he didn't have time to see which equipment the butcher dropped.
He could only quickly put the items in his backpack first.
At the same time, he shouted behind him, "Retreat first!"
"Yes!"
The elf priestess didn't hesitate either.
After Zarek Gideon spoke, she immediately flew up into the air, away from the battle situation.
After breaking free from the siege of the ghouls, he finally had the chance to look at the drop notification from earlier.
[Note: Obtained "Carcass Knife" X1]
"Rotten Carcass Knife"
Category: one-handed sword
Rare grade: excellent
Equipment level: lv3
Equipment attributes: attack power +12; strength +5; endurance +8
Equipment special effects: Every time you kill 10 monsters, you will permanently gain 1 point of endurance, with a maximum of 30 points.
Introduction: The user of this weapon used to be a bulimic patient among the undead. When he was hungry, he even devoured countless ghouls regardless of whether they were friend or foe.
"Good!"
Zarek Gideon's eyes lit up.
The double attribute point bonus is very high, and it can also permanently increase physical endurance by 30 points.
Due to his SSS-level talent, his method of adding points is basically fixed, meaning he adds points to all resistances.
Therefore, any additional resistance bonus is extra valuable.
Although he is only level 1 now, he still can't wield this weapon.
But how difficult could it be to reach level 3?
Now he only needs to replace 5 ghouls, complete the faction mission, and immediately gain 500 experience points.
Not to mention level 3, he estimates that casually brushing monsters will almost reach level 4.
Thinking about the faction rewards and equipping this weapon, Zarek Gideon was a bit hungry.
At this moment, the elf priestess still held him and floated in the air.
Her eyes also swept the battlefield one by one.
The battle began less than 5 minutes ago, and the undead army had consumed almost 200 ghouls.
But the original 50-50 situation has started to change.
The scale of victory seems to be tipping towards the undead army.
Because the originally chaotic undead army seemed to have found its rhythm.
Those bloody ghouls had retreated to the edge of the battlefield one after another, and the ghouls in good condition were back on top, playing mass tactics.
The elves seemed to be producing comfortably, but they also were scratched by the ghouls that occasionally pounced.
The elves, who were originally around 500 people, have lost 50 people.
Almost every time Zarek Gideon glanced, he could see an elf girl falling.
The elf priestess behind him looked very anxious and hugged him even tighter.
"Do you want to support again? Send me to the edge of the battlefield first."
Zarek Gideon said calmly.
When the elf priestess heard this, a flash of determination passed through her eyes.
Immediately, she galloped towards the edge of the battlefield.
After sending Zarek Gideon to the ground, she leaned down and said, "My friend, I wish you a safe retreat from this battle."
"Okay, go quickly, your people are still waiting for you."
"Alright."
The elf priestess nodded, then turned around and galloped into the air.
Before leaving, she took the initiative to caress Zarek Gideon's cheek with her hand, adding the "natural light" boost to him.
After she left, Zarek Gideon turned his gaze to the ghouls slowly approaching him.
As they were all residual blood, they didn't dare to make mistakes when the elite monster, the elf priest, was there a moment ago.
Once the elf priest left, Zarek Gideon's level 1 meant nothing in the eyes of the ghouls.
Zarek Gideon glanced casually and found that these ghouls seemed to have found the wrong target.
How much blood could the ghouls that retreated to the periphery have left at this point?
The highest is 30 and the lowest has only 1 point of remaining health.
When he raised his sword and shield, a familiar warning appeared in his eyes again.
[Warning: You have activated the temporary special effect of "Undead Fangs", strength +20, endurance +20, lasts 10 seconds]
At the moment the warning appeared, Zarek Gideon trembled.
"Ah~!"
The ghoul leader seemed furious at his aggressiveness.
Immediately, it opened its bloody mouth and attacked him.
[Common attack: -56 (True damage (33) + Physical (23)]
[Tip: You killed the ghoul and gained 5 experience rewards, faction mission progress: Ghoul (1/5)]
With the "Natural Light" BUFF, the attack speed is 50% faster.
The ghoul's attack was instantly eliminated by him before it reached him.
The rest of the ghouls were a little confused for a moment.
Although their own kind was dissatisfied, the remaining blood volume couldn't be replenished with level 1 production.
Unfortunately, Zarek Gideon wouldn't wait for them to recover and advanced again holding his shield.
[Common attack: -56]
[Tip: You killed... a ghoul (2/5)]
...
[Common attack: -57]
[Tip: You killed... a ghoul (3/5)]
...
The two swords were wielded and the two ghouls were also cut down by the swords.
"Ah!"
The dozens of ghouls in front of Zarek Gideon suddenly roared.
But it didn't sound like anger, there seemed to be a hint of fear in the repulsive voice.
The next moment, Zarek Gideon understood the meaning of that previous roar.
Because the ghouls were turning in unison, trying to flee back to the battlefield.
How could Zarek Gideon allow them to escape if he hasn't finished this task yet?
"Running? Do you have any courage?"
The mocking words pierced the spine of a ghoul with the light of the sword.
[Common attack: -57]
[Tip: You killed... a ghoul (4/5)]
With the movement speed bonus of the "Natural Light" BUFF, it's a luxury for the ghouls to escape.
At this moment, players who have not yet joined the battle are confused.
Because from their point of view, Zarek Gideon's level 1 using novice clothing is like a plague god.
Wherever he goes, the ghouls avoid him on their own.
