Episode 232
“I’ve been tied up for several days already.”
“I thought it would end soon, but it’s holding up better than I thought?”
“It’s all thanks to that weird tentacle. “I don’t know what it is.”
Tentacles wriggling from the walls of Arba!
Users inside and outside Arba put their heads together, but could not figure out its identity.
However, one thing was clear: those black tentacles had incredible abilities.
It was impossible not to mention the balance debate.
“Then does the Stella Guild think that the black tentacles that protect the Black Legion and Arva are not the power of Kaimus?”
“of course. Caimus’ occupation was a knight. The knight class uses such large-scale magic… I don’t know if that’s magic, but for convenience, I’ll call it magic. “It is impossible to use magic on such a large scale.”
“Then what exactly are those things?”
Bolero, the leader of the Stella Guild, was silent for a moment.
He missed X, failed in his expedition to the East Continent, and was defeated in the Siege of Arba when he returned to the Arba Continent.
They weren’t the only ones who lost, but they could feel the position of the large guild shaking recently.
So here, so-called image washing was necessary.
“…This is top secret, but I’m telling you because if it continues like this, the entire Arba continent will fall into chaos.
“It is very likely that it is the Arba Palace shaman who is helping Kaimus and controlling the black tentacles.”
Palace Shaman White Mask!
Although some people were expecting it, Bolero’s words became a catalyst and spread widely.
White Mask has long been considered a bizarre NPC among users. That white mask was allied with Caimus.
“Is it because of connections that Caimus was chosen as general?”
“I guess so. Compare it with other generals. Bastard is the great hero of Arba, and Trident has also accomplished numerous feats as a knight over a long period of time. Well, they are now deceased.”
“Ugh, creepy. “How can someone be so shameless?”
The sense of betrayal that players felt from Kaimus was growing day by day.
The companies that had sponsored Kaimus rushed to publish articles saying that they had canceled their contracts.
However, there was a person who also became a hot topic.
It was X who crushed Kaimus.
-But how did X defeat those monsters? -What
is it? I guess he just caught them because he was so damn strong. Has X done that once or twice? It’s a guy who’s been on the same page as the sand monster since his first appearance.
– So, how could my words become so damn strong?
-At least it seems like a job? They’re still hiding it lol
Still, I naturally have doubts.
“Can you become that strong just by choosing a good job? Then, isn’t there something strange? You’re so lucky. To put it bluntly, if only I could get the hidden class…”
In the end, it was the game masters who suffered.
Most of the inquiries that have been popping up over the past few days have been about balance.
There were large-scale suspicions raised by guilds that failed to conquer Arba, and there were a lot of grumpy inquiries asking for proper game management.
The sound of crying continued throughout the building.
“We too are dying of frustration, so we should have something to say.”
“…At this point, shouldn’t we close the server and do some maintenance? There are elements that even we, the game masters, cannot understand, but no matter how we look at this, Blossom…”
“Shh, be careful what you say.”
Seong Min-ji was quietly listening to the conversation of his colleagues.
Yes, the world was moving along rationally. Naturally, Fate was viewed with suspicion in many ways.
Seong Min-ji raised his head.
“What should have exploded has exploded.”
Where Seong Min-ji’s gaze was directed was the chairman’s office. There is a monitor that is hundreds of meters long from side to side and a chairman’s room where you can see the movements of the game masters at a glance.
Schubert looked at the agitated people with his arms crossed.
Although notifications were constantly ringing in his personal system, his eyes were calm as usual.
He muttered quietly.
“…everything goes as expected.”

Dallas was witnessing a new world.
The image of X freely wielding fists, daggers, spears, and even various attribute magic!
It wasn’t just that there were many types. Every time I swing my fist, the air rips and the ground shakes every time the magic arrow explodes.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwak!
“Wow….”
There is no comparison!
This was Dallas, who had been party hunting with Explorer guild members the day before. It seemed like the number of mobs that X defeated in 30 minutes today was twice as many as the mobs that they defeated all day.
Dallas shook his head.
“X, these guys are level 400. The level is so high that it can’t even be compared to the guys I caught yesterday, but how on earth did this person come into being?…”
Was he actually a person in the first place?
Watching X’s battle on video and seeing it in person felt completely different.
X was busy hunting without paying any attention to the embarrassed Dallas.
Tiroling!
[You have discovered the ‘Acorn Tree Forest’ for the first time in Fate World!]
[Experience gain near the Acorn Tree Forest increases by 20% for 72 hours!]
[Item acquisition rate near the Acorn Tree Forest increases by 20% for 72 hours! I do!]
“It’s almost time to come out, but what about these monsters?”
monster! In a word, youkai were named monsters of the Eastern Continent.
It is stronger than regular monsters of the same level and has special abilities. If I were to add one more characteristic, youkais generally possessed the ability to disrupt the minds of their enemies.
‘It must be some type of mutation magic.’
So I wondered if the monster’s flesh was being treated as a sacrifice. Anyway, X continued his hunt.
The three ghost spirits of the acorn tree forest, the devil and the devil!
Catch monsters, pick up acorns, and dig up vegetables.
The guy who couldn’t stand X’s actions, which devastated the acorn tree forest in real time, showed up.
The green flames of the Three Spirits’ Will!
Dallas hurriedly raised his staff.
“Hiik’s level is 520?!”
If it were a normal party hunting, this would have been a level where we would have been running without hesitation.
But strictly speaking, this wasn’t a party hunt. It’s just X’s hard work to catch a monster for a ancestral rite!
“I’m sorry, but I don’t have time to relax with you.”
Shushu X bent down and fired a massacre tracer from his waist.
He neutralized the flying wisps and charged Magic Arrow from the other finger.
Pabababak!
The magic arrow that stretched out hit a total of three fireballs.
The level 520 named monster may be an object of fear to Dallas, but to X, it is no different from a squirrel.
Tiroling!
A notification rings in your ears along with the extermination of monsters.
[You have acquired the title ‘Apprentice Exorcist’!]
“Even the title of Five Tigers?”
“You’re saying it’s over already?!”
“If we finish this quickly, shouldn’t we be able to see the goddess’s face within today?”
“That’s right, but…”
This way there was no need to lift the staff.
X confirmed the effectiveness of the title.
It has the effect of inflicting additional damage to monsters of less than 1%, and the more monsters you catch, the higher the damage.
‘Wouldn’t it be possible to become an intermediate exorcist in just one day?’
Of course, this was a story at a time when monsters were as prevalent as they are now.
X immediately farmed the flesh of the target monster.
The third spirit’s goblin had turned into a pile of ashes, and among the items that came out, the one that could be seen as the flesh of a monster was…
-Goblin’s Ash (Rare)
“I guess this is it.”
On the outside, it was nothing more than ashes, but in Dallas’ eyes, it seemed to have a faint divine power.
Dallas, who was examining the items, nodded.
“It doesn’t have the same sacred power as a sacred object, but as long as there is enough quantity, I don’t think there will be any problem in holding a ancestral rite.”
My mouth has always been a problem.
Dallas was honest about what he saw, but he had no choice but to regret it not long after.
X is literally running around the field! Dallas’ heart sank every time he saw X’s unexpected behavior.
“Come out, youkai!”
By tapping the tree with the amulet attached, you summon a level 600 monster, the Jiangshi Bear, and cut the gold string to force the sleeping monsters to wake up!
“Gasp! It’s too fast, Mr. X!”
Thanks to this, only Dallas was able to avoid the sparks that set his soles on fire.
I will never even bring up party hunting again.
Before Dallas could make up his mind, X, who had been running through the forest, stopped.
“…I can smell it?”
“Sniff, are you talking about the smell of sweat?”
I was sweating so much because of someone… Dallas, who was about to continue speaking with an aggrieved expression on his face, suddenly closed his mouth.
Intense life felt beyond the bush!
“Is that a tiger?”
Tigers could also be seen on the Arba Continent, but tigers on the East Continent had a different appearance.
The tigers of the Eastern Continent were overflowing with wildness, as if seeing the difference between a dog and a wolf!
“Even if I can’t do it, I think I’ll be level 700.”
X, who had experienced numerous battles, was accurate in his estimate. Its level was exactly 700, making it the top predator in this area.
But the guy was limping. With blood pouring from the corner of the mouth.
Judging by the rough lifestyle, it was probably due to wounds sustained during battle.
Dallas swallowed dryly.
“What kind of guy made it like that?”
The answer to that was soon visible to me.
Thump thump! The sound of footsteps shaking the ground.
Judging by the vibrations, it looked like a guy with a size comparable to that of a giant.
Although they couldn’t see the guy’s face yet, they were able to guess its identity.
Weapons begin to appear at the bottom of the mountain.
It was a goblin bat with a sharp metal tip.
Feeling the unusual energy, X also picked up a weapon.
“With that level, we can start the ancestral rites right away.”
thud!
As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped walking.
A huge muscular face, a face with protruding blunt teeth, and cool eyes that freeze those who see them.
The force was enough to make even the bravest tiger give up on life.
“…?”
But the tiger did not die.
thud.
Because the goblin turned away.
The reason why the goblin let go of the toy he had grabbed was simple.
“He has a knack for fighting big things like this.”
Because X came running out of the bushes!
X was calmly talking to Dallas. It looks like Dallas’ face, on the verge of tears, can’t even be seen.
Only after the goblin got closer did X turn his head.
“Then, let’s start targeting the eastern continent’s goblins!”
Suddenly, a crystal sphere appeared!
As I said, every video and every view made money.
visor!
X, who started recording, first received one attack from a goblin.
If you finish it in one go, the video will last less than a minute, and if you do that, there will be no time for the advertisement to play.
Soon, information about him came to mind. X smiled meaningfully and began to act.
“…what? But I don’t think it’s an ordinary goblin?”
Munchkin that I eat all by myself
