Chapter 117 Back to the Desert (2)

Newlyweds Apple and Lemon.

The small-scale pie guild made by these two had too many shortcomings for its small scale.

Quaang.

“Evee Ee!”

“That scorpion!”

“Damn it again?”

“Prepare the freezing magic! Get out of here at full speed!”

A huge desert where you have to avoid the place where the scorpions are hiding as much as possible with the crisis detection skill of exploration or adventure-type jobs. However, it was already the 3rd time that I had encountered scorpions that I hadn’t been able to find because of the low rank of related skills.

“It was a big deal. The magical power to use freezing magic hasn’t been recovered yet.”

“what….?”

As a result, the magician had to continue using freezing magic without a chance to recover his magical power. He waved his hand with a white face, perhaps already exhausted.

“A bunch of radishes! If I use more magic than this, I will die.”

“Shit….! Run right now!”

“Kyaaaaaaagh!”

Apple’s expression of bewilderment is evident. At his direction, dozens of camels started running at high speed, but the speed was infinitely insufficient to overtake the scorpions in the sandy desert with a cart full of heavy goods.

Quaang.

The cart is shattered when the claws of the giant scorpion strike. And those who were blown away with just one tail turned gray in an instant.

“Shit….! The scorpions are too fast to run away with their packs!”

“Kyaaaaaaaa!”

Kwaaang. Quaang.

The scorpions screamed as if they had found a delicious prey and began to smash the cart at the top of the pie by swinging their claws. A few people tried to fight back, but it didn’t take long for them to turn gray and collapse.

“I can’t believe it…..”

Helplessly, the entire upper part is smashed. Looking helplessly at it, Apple’s face was stained with misery and regret.

“I mean, it wasn’t a place I dared to look at…”

Great desert Shurim, which had been designated as one of the 5 forbidden areas and long since people stopped visiting. However, after the information that the city of the dwarves was hidden was revealed, numerous attacks and destruction methods began to be released one by one.

“Kieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeg

“Dangerous Apple!”

Apple watched with a blank face as his top was destroyed. The moment when a scorpion that found him was screaming and about to strike down the giant claw. Suddenly, a great chill began to wrap around him.

“Quick cooling.”

so-and-so.

Claws that froze in an instant. As he opened his eyes wide at the pincers that had stopped frozen at the perfect timing above his head, a person leaped quickly and muttered.

“The encroaching cold.”

“Kyaaaaaaaaagh!”

I just touched the exoskeleton lightly, but from that point on, the scorpion started to freeze cold at a furious speed. The scorpion let out a terrifying scream as if feeling great pain, but soon stopped moving in a state of pure white frost all over its body.

“Tsk… I didn’t expect much from this, but isn’t it too crude?”

Jaeyoung grumbles as if he doesn’t like the current situation. At his words, Apple murmured with his mouth wide open as if in shock.

“Are you all…?”

A young man who looks a bit young. He, who introduced himself as Kaiser, was crushing the scorpion that had become an ice statue with a completely different look from when he first met.

“First of all, the situation seems urgent, so I will help you, but I will charge you a separate fee later.”

Jaeyoung’s black hair has turned white. Snowflakes of frost and a cold storm swirled fiercely around her body, as if a cold wave was raging.

“Kiaaaaaaa!”

“Queueeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”

The scorpions chewed and ate the camel to slaughter, as if they were angry at the death of their comrades. They screamed and surrounded Jaeyoung and opened and closed their claws violently.

“Your level is ignorantly high, but you don’t seem to have much intelligence than you think. In the midst of this situation where even running away would not be enough, I was thinking of hitting a crow.”

A huge desert scorpion, an incredibly powerful monster with each level reaching level 160. Right now, no user of Arcadia could guarantee victory in the battle against them alone, so he was in a hurry to escape rather than fight, but standing in front of Apple was different.

“Frost Spear.”

so-and-so.

A huge spear suddenly froze in Jaeyoung’s hand along with the skill’s starter, revealing its appearance. Holding it in both hands, he muttered with a smile on his face as if he was having fun.

“Where can I try?”

The battle between the four desert scorpions and Jaeyoung started like that. A legend-like story that began with those who witnessed it and survived began to circulate in a pub near Shurim.

A cold-blooded warrior who seeks to save merchants in crisis walking through the desert.

That’s the story of Jack Frost.

* * *

[Skill skill ended.]

[Calculation of the duration and player’s actions begins.]

[28352 probability consumed.]

A tremendous amount of probability after killing 5 desert scorpions. However, in spite of Jaeyoung’s glaring eyes, Tan spoke confidently to the point of being shameless.

“what! why! Do you know that the guy you summoned is such an easygoing guy? Even Absolute Zero was one of the absolute strongest players in Iceberg. Isn’t it overpriced to play with these scorpions?”

Witch of the Cold, Enchantress. It didn’t make sense considering that he had killed 5 of the 160 scorpions by himself, but it still felt expensive.

“Are you saying that the Deathbringer is broken? Aren’t you deliberately ripping off the probability in order to restore it?”

L looks at Tan suspiciously and asks if he had similar thoughts to Jaeyoung. At her words, Tan reacted more violently than ever.

“shut up! You fucking chicken. I’m still pissed off, but do you want to keep talking about it?”

“Hmm….. I guess you haven’t given up on restoration yet? Didn’t you think you would have turned it into powder?”

“What is this bastard? What did you just say?”

Tan, who seems to have hit the mark, suddenly accelerates again and rushes towards L. L’s reckless charge was met with L, and a scuffle began as he swung his fists. Seeing this, Jaeyoung thought to herself.

‘Wouldn’t it be fun to take a video of this and upload it…?’

A battle between angels and demons.

It is not a lower level like a baby angel or an imp, but a fight between the devil and the archangel, which is a transcendent level that the level itself cannot dare to touch. However, the fight between the two was so childish that it was hard to keep my eyes open.

“evil! Don’t bite these chicken wings!”

“You’re the one who says you shouldn’t write foul play like gouging your eyes!”

“There is no such thing as a foul play in a life and death risk!”

“Anyway, you fucking bat.”

Once started, a melee that lasts for a long time. The fun of watching this silently was also excellent, but Jae-young had no choice but to look away from Apple, who was talking to him with surprised eyes.

“Did you say Kaiser…? thank you. If it wasn’t for Kaiser-sama, the entire guild would have been wiped out.”

“Thank you so much…..”

Apple and lemon pale. Several employees around them were taking care of the damage, but it seemed obvious that they had suffered tremendous damage, as almost half of the carts and the items inside were destroyed and many were stained gray.

“It’s a bit like saying this, but… I got this top assortment right, but my capabilities are far less than I thought.”

Explorers who had to detect the threat of scorpions and figure out detours, wizards specializing in freezing to hinder the movement of scorpions they encountered, and even the warriors who would give them a little time and draw aggro were below the level.

“Ah… that’s because we’re a small guild, so we had no choice but to replace all of them with NPCs… so we don’t have anything to say about that. sorry.”

Unlike places like GM, which grow quickly based on the financial power of large corporations, pie tops are operated on a small scale with individual funds. Because of this, they had no choice but to be sensitive to labor costs, and most of the employees at the top of the affiliation were filled with cheap NPCs who possessed relevant skills but had low ranks and levels.

“We know that in order to grow our business, we need to hire users with high growth potential. However, due to the lack of capital, it is still difficult to pay the basic minimum wage, so I tried to make the most of this uptrend… but now it seems difficult to do that too.”

As he was sighing in despair as he looked at beer barrels strewn about in the desert, smoked meats and other food ingredients that dwarves would like, and things that had been soaked in sand and were no longer usable, an employee came up to him and said,

“We have collected the remaining goods and personnel. 54% loss rate. 46% of items are fortunately normal.”

Still, a situation where we should be thankful that the upper ranks were not completely annihilated. Thinking that it should not collapse here and now, Apple and Lemon reconciled their minds and said.

“You seem to have already lost your trust in our guild… but would you still go with us? Since we are almost there anyway, going back here would be impossible. Instead, we will repay you for the help you have just given, in an amount that will not be insufficient as soon as this trade ends.”

Jaeyoung, who has already been to a dwarf village. He nodded at Apple’s offer, knowing full well that he would be in the Sands of Forge in less than three hours.

“I will.”

“Thank you…..”

The uphill road started again like that. Since even one of the explorers who had been attacked by the scorpion had just died, they started crossing the desert carefully without letting go of their tension. And shortly thereafter, several herds of camels seen in the distance. Seeing it, people shouted with delighted faces.

“Look over there! GM top!”

“arrived! look over there! It’s a doorway!”

The GM corps have already arrived and are waiting for Sand of Forge to enter. Everyone at the top of Apple, who was following behind them, shouted with joy.

“Live!”

“Phew… I was wondering what if I met the scorpions again… I’m so glad I did!”

A beggarly Apple Caravan leading wounded and half-destroyed carts. But still, relieved that we had reached our destination safely, we approached the back of GM’s upper ranks.

“Let’s wait here for a moment. If the upper part in front of us passes, perhaps a dwarf will come to us and check the items closely and decide whether or not to pass.”

Top members busily settled down at Apple’s words and started setting up tents. But first, mockery mixed with laughter began to be heard watching them from here and there at the top of the GM, where they had set up tents and were resting in a leisurely manner.

“Hey… Even the upper ranks with such a low level rush to make a deal with the dwarves.”

“Quack. From the looks of it, it looks like you’ve been bitten by scorpions?”

“Wow, do you see it over there? It seems like all the staff use NPCs? Anyway, look at the level of choosing cheap ones.”

“As expected, you can see the level difference even in the game. Ugh, off the beaten track.”

Members of the company who receive a salary from the top of GM and help them go up. Because they were users with excellent levels and skills, the pride and pride they felt was too high.

“Pya… how many players are there?”

“You must have gone through a lot of hardships at the top like that. If you use our corps, you’re just sucking honey.”

“Hehehe…. Seeing how they use the upper ranks like that, they must be beggars who waste even 1 gold. They use it for the cheap taste and end up getting screwed.”

“That’s right. Isn’t it that you play badly in games because you live like that?”

Hahahoho, the users belonging to the GM upper ranks laughing and talking mockingly. But they were completely unaware of it. There are angels and demons flapping bat wings and chicken wings all around them, silently listening to their stories.

“I hear you say…the owner?”

“He is an ignorant lamb with all kinds of grumpiness on his face. Please give me stern advice.”

However, despite Tan and El’s tattle(?), Jaeyoung did not show anything. I was just sitting in silence and relaxing.

“What are you thinking, Master? leave this alone? Are you strong enough not to kill them all?”

Tan, who seemed to want to create a mess somehow. It seemed that he was full of thoughts to rip off the probability with this, but Jaeyoung said with an evil smile at Tan’s question.

“wait. I’ll think about it.”

The heads of Apple and Lemon, who were sitting in their seats and looking at the top of the car busily, and Jaeyoung, who was looking over the top of the GM, started to work busily.

It was a reflection on how to feed a huge and bulky candy into the mouth of GM’s top team.
