67. Awesome
As soon as the 5th round entered, Min Joo-ri remembered Ryu Min’s request.
-The quest to kill 300 orcs is by no means easy. Monsters called orcs are stubborn and tend to swarm around. You should never think of catching it alone.
-So you’re asking for help from the Black Scythe?
-huh. Once the area integration is over, go find the Black Scythe first. Don’t think about fighting the orcs. Even if you don’t make contact with the black scythe, wait for an hour before making your move.
-okay. Thanks for letting me know, Min!
As Ryu Min said, Minjoo-ri waited for the time when the districts would be unified.
As expected from the Prophet class, I found the black scythe when the area was truly integrated.
‘How do I find it?’
That’s what I thought for a moment, but there was no need to look for it.
Because among the 10 district representatives who gathered for an extra game, there was a black scythe.
‘Ah, I found it. We can talk later after it’s over.’
At the same time, I became interested.
Will Black Scythe be able to take the position of representative of the integrated area?
The result was, as expected, a victory for the Black Scythe.
It also showed an overwhelming difference in skill that seemed absurd.
‘It’s worth it because it’s level 30.’
He nodded in understanding and tried to approach the black scythe.
But when I try to get closer, my steps won’t stop.
Even though I saw a black scythe coming down after a death match in front of me, I couldn’t get closer.
I wasn’t confident about that.
‘Why, why are you like this… … ?’
The reason was simple.
Fundamental fear.
The fear of the strong, which all humans have, made him hesitate in his steps.
It was even more so because I saw a scene where the opponent’s head was mercilessly cut off.
‘Mi, Min-i said so. We must cooperate with the Black Scythe. I’m sure he would like my help.’
I strengthened my mind by telling myself that I would not hurt myself and that I would not be a psychopath who would point a knife at me during our first meeting.
However, when I came to my senses, the black scythe had already disappeared.
‘ah… … I ended up missing it.’
It looks like he left to do the main quest.
The surrounding players were also scattering one by one to catch the orcs.
Except for Minjoo-ri.
‘What are we talking about now? They said it would be impossible to fight an orc alone, so I couldn’t move hastily… … .’
Min-ri Min, who had nothing else to do, decided to wait for an hour as Ryu-min said.
The orc was so excited that he didn’t even think about looking at it.
An hour passed like that.
[Time remaining until round end: 08:55:15]
[Main Quest Progress: Orcs 0/300]
Minjoo-ri, looking at the progress window, sighed.
Suddenly, a feeling of anxiety came over me.
‘It’s a big deal. If this continues, won’t we be destroyed before we reach 300?’
An hour had passed without me being able to do anything, so I was understandably worried.
‘I came here believing only in the black scythe, but I couldn’t find the black scythe… … .’
It was his own fault.
I was so scared that I lost sight of the black scythe.
‘You can’t just stay like this. There’s no guarantee that the black scythe will return to its starting point, right?’
I had to go find it.
If this continues, you may not encounter the black scythe until the round ends.
I took slow steps.
The eyes were busy searching for the black scythe.
The surrounding vigilance was also not neglected.
‘At first glance, it looks like it went this way… … .’
I walked blindly in the direction where the black scythe had disappeared.
Did it take 10 minutes like that?
I saw a wooden fence in the distance.
It was a village, but looking at its crude appearance, it seemed like a place where orcs lived.
‘Do you want to be in there? no. It might be dangerous, so I should avoid it for now.’
I chose to go back instead of getting closer.
But strangely enough, at that moment, I encountered someone I didn’t want to encounter.
It was an orc.
I recognized it right away because it looked the same as the orcs I saw in the game.
“Chwiik, chwiik!”
An orc found Minju-ri and ran towards her with an axe.
‘Gosh, I didn’t want to deal with orcs… … !’
A situation has come where battle is inevitable.
Min Joo-ri immediately buffed herself.
‘Bless!’

[All stats increase by 50% due to the effect of Skill Bless.]
Agility, the main stat, rose from 24 to 36.
The strength I gained a little bit as an assistant also increased from 12 to 18.
Min Joo-ri held up a rapier, a weapon he received as a commemorative of his previous job.
‘There are two things that are fortunate for me.’
Firstly, there is only one opponent.
Second, I heard about Orc’s weaknesses from Ryumin.
‘I told you to target the neck because the muscles are tough elsewhere.’
She endured 4 rounds of living hell.
I was confident if it was 1-on-1.
Whoop-!
The orc’s ax blade came aiming for the shoulder.
After dodging it lightly, the thought that occurred to me was that it was slower than expected.
‘It’s easy to avoid. The problem is accuracy.’
Aiming for the neck of a moving opponent can never be easy.
It’s not a game, so there’s no correction for accuracy.
‘If you make a mistake and hit somewhere else, you will be counterattacked.’
Ryu Min had warned that most people would panic and die because their weapons would not fall out.
‘They said it would be difficult to lose muscle mass due to its density, so do it quickly and concisely.’
Ju-ri Min, who was avoiding the axe and seeing an opportunity, aimed for the orc’s neck.
However, because the orc moved, it got stuck in the chest.
The rapier that went in quickly came out.
‘thank god. ‘It wasn’t caught in the muscle like I feared.’
Thanks to the short and thick stab, it was easier to remove.
“Chwiiik!”
The orc complained of pain in his chest and swung his ax in excitement.
However, this is not the Democratic Party that will respond to slow and skillless axing.
Puff-puff-puff!
The attack continued, targeting the neck with repeated stabs.
Then, on the sixth attempt, he was able to pierce the orc’s neck.
“Chwihikhik! Kuruk, chwihikhik!”
Green blood flows out of the orc’s hand holding the neck.
When his movements slowed down, he gained momentum and stabbed me two or three times.
Fluttering-
“haha.”
Minjoo-ri let out a rough breath and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
‘It was hard, but I did it. ‘I captured the orc one-on-one.’
It was a moment to smile brightly and be happy.
Min Joo-ri suddenly rubbed her eyes and blinked repeatedly.
‘what? ‘Do you see nothing?’
This was because the man she had been looking for was walking from the front.
‘Is the person in front of you a black scythe? really?’
After a moment of surprise, I exhaled a sigh of relief.
The man I had been looking for came walking on his own feet.
No, it went too far.
“……Ah! Over there!”
The black scythe suddenly turns around at the shout.
“what?”
“Ah, that’s… so…”
When I try to speak, I feel like my throat is blocked.
Minjoo-ri, who hesitated, spoke as if she were vomiting.
“Black Scythe! Come with me!”
“what?”
“Yes? Ah… it’s a party.”
The black scythe tilts its head.
There would be no one who didn’t understand the game term party.
“Why should I party with you?”
“Well, that’s….”
Ju-ri Min, who decided that it would be quicker to show with action rather than explain in a complicated way, immediately stretched out her hand.
Ryumin pretended to be surprised when the light coming out of his hand entered his head.
“What is this?”
“It’s Bless. It’s my buff skill. It lasts 3 hours. All stats probably increased by 50%.”
Even though Ryu Min knew it, he made a motion to check the status window.
“I checked and it was like that.”
“Is this the answer? My buff will be a great help in hunting.”
“So, if you want to continue receiving buffs, please party together?”
“Yes. To be exact, please help me hunt.”
“hmm.”
Ryumin touched his chin and pretended to be worried.
Then, in keeping with the concept, I deliberately gave it a cold look.
“I have control. I could use you as my assistant right now.”
“ah…….”
Minjoo-ri was embarrassed.
I never thought it would come out like this.
Of course, Ryumin had no intention of wasting his dominance.
“Can you promise not to hit me in the back?”
“S-sure!”
“Okay. Just trust me.”
Ryumin suddenly held out his hand.
Ah, Minjoo-ri came to her senses and carefully grabbed hold of it.
“I’m going to have a party, so let’s just say a simple name. [Black Scythe], level 32, occupation is Reaper.”
“Oh, my name is [Democracy]. My level is 13 and my job is Buffer.”
“Did you say you needed help? I saw earlier that you were good at killing orcs too.”
“It was my first time catching it, but honestly, it was difficult.”
“It’s been 1 hour and 30 minutes and this is your first time catching it?”
“Ahaha… it just so happened…”
Min-ri Min, who couldn’t say she wasted time waiting for the black scythe, scratched her cheek.
“I guess I don’t have much time.”
“Yes… I just caught one fish, so I need to quickly fill up to 300.”
“Then I’ll help you catch it quickly.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I’ll make the orc so that he can’t die, so you can finish it. If you land the last blow, the record will go to you.”
It was the so-called dope in the game.
“You can do that much, right?”
“Of course. You saw me kill that orc. I’m not so weak that I can’t even eat food that’s spoon-fed to me.”
“Then there’s nothing to worry about. Let’s go.”
“wait a minute.”
Ryu Min turned his head indifferently at Min Ri’s call.
“what?”
“Thank you for your help… but I wonder if I am interfering with Black Scythe’s quest…”
“Don’t worry about that. I’ve already finished the main quest.”
“yes?”
You’ve already caught all 300?
There are still over 8 hours left until the round ends?
While Min-ri Min looked confused, Ryu-min spoke.
“What I’m aiming for is not the main quest. It’s a side quest. I’ve already obtained a balance stone.”
“Oh, did you get it already?”
“They gave it to me after I defeated the boss called Orc Warrior. I think the rest will probably come out only after I defeat the boss.”
“Ah… there was a boss…”
Since Min-ri Min was familiar with the game, she thought that a boss would appear at some point.
But I never thought it would be this round.
“If you are interested in a side quest, just tell me. I will give you the opportunity to face the boss alone.”
“Oh, no. Orcs are hard to handle, so what about the boss…”
Min Joo-ri waved her hand and glanced at Ryu Min.
‘So you were worried earlier? I wonder if I might covet the Stone of Balance and betray it.’
Actually, I wasn’t worried because I believed it, but I had no choice but to think that way due to Minjoo-ri.
“Don’t worry, Black Scythe. I have no desire for side quests. I am satisfied with just the main quest. So I will never betray you. I don’t have the skills to do that, but….”
“Okay. Let’s try to believe it.”
Ryumin, who said that, took the first step.
Min Joo-ri followed at a slow pace from behind.
“Don’t stay behind, come to the side. If you’re out of sight, I can’t protect you.”
“Ah, I get it.”
Min-ri Min was no longer afraid of the black scythe.
‘After talking to him, I don’t think he’s as cold-blooded as the image suggests.’
They said they would help with hunting, told me to come next to them because it was dangerous, and there was a corner where they subtly took care of me.
‘It’s good that Min listened to me. To be honest, I was worried that Black Scythe would join a party with me, but I got help like this… … .’
I was curious what to do with the orcs, but that’s something I’ll find out in a bit.
While the two were walking side by side with that thought in mind, a group of orcs suddenly appeared.
“Chwiik – Chwiik!”
As the three orcs approached with menacing eyes, Minjoo-ri was alert and raised her rapier.
at that time.
“Wait a moment.”
Speaking indifferently, Ryumin stepped forward and drew a sickle towards the bottom.
The thick orc legs were sliced like meat.
“Kuok!”
“Keuak!”
Scythes flashed again on the upper bodies of the Orcs who fell to the ground as if collapsing.
This time, both arms were separated from the upper body.
The orcs with their limbs cut off and only their torsos left cried out in pain.
“Now, kill them. All three.”
“…….”
“Why are you so dazed?”
“Oh, sorry.”
Minjoo-ri came to his senses and approached the orcs.
Puff-puff-puff!
It wasn’t difficult to take a life.
Especially if it is a helpless opponent who has lost limbs.
[The orc has been defeated!]
[Experience +2.35%]
[Gold+40]
Minjoo-ri opened her mouth as she looked at the message that came to mind.
‘This, this…’ … Even if it’s easy, it’s too easy, right?’
I know this well because I have dealt with it myself.
Orcs are formidable monsters.
So even though it’s awesome, I thought I’d have to take some risks… … .
‘It’s not dangerous at all, right?’
It was so comfortable and easy, like eating only the fish bones with the bones removed.
‘I can’t believe it’s this easy to kill an orc.’
Once again, I was filled with admiration for the black scythe’s skills.
“egg plant.”
“Ah, yes!”
She felt it again.
I’m really, really glad I got to party with Black Scythe.
