Chapter 67: Too Easy (2)
ck Scythe! Lets team up!
What?
Huh? Oh pa-party.
ck Scythe raised an eyebrow.
Understanding the term party shouldnt be beyond them.
Why should I team up with you?
Well, um
Min Juri concluded that demonstrating would be quicker than exining.
She suddenly extended her hand, a burst of light emanating from it.
As the light seeped into ck Scythes consciousness, his surprise was momentary.
Whats this?
This is Bless. My buff skill. Itsts for 3 hours. Most likely, all stats have increased by 50%.
Even though ck Scytheprehended, he still double-checked his status window.
It appears to be true.
Is this exnation sufficient? My buff can be a tremendous aid during hunts.
So, if I want to continue receiving your buffs, you want me to team up with you?
Yes. To be precise, assist me with my hunting.
Hmm.
ck Scythe rubbed his chin, pretending to ponder.
Then, he looked at her with an intentionally cool gaze.
I hold the upper hand here. But I could use you as my subordinate right away.
Uh
Min Juri was taken aback.
This turn of events hadnt crossed her mind.
Of course, ck Scythe had no intention of wasting his authority.
Can you promise not to stab me in the back?
Well, of course!
Very well. Lets give it a shot.
ck Scythe suddenly extended his hand.
Min Juri snapped back to reality and cautiously grabbed hold of it.
Since were teaming up, lets at least have a brief introduction. [ck Scythe], level 32, ss: Reaper.
Ah, Im [Democracy], level 13, and Im a buffer.
Do you need help though? I saw you dealing with the orcs quite well earlier.
It was my first time, and to be honest, it was tough.
It took you about an hour and a half to take your first kill?
Ahaha it just turned out that way
Min Juri found herself yfully scratching her head, unable to say that waiting for ck Scythe had caused her to waste precious time.
Looks like were short on time.
Yes I just took down one orc, and I need to hit 300 quickly.
Then let me speed things up.
How can you help?
Ill weaken the orcs enough for you to finish them off. You just need tond the final blow, and the credit will be yours.
In gaming terms, he was suggesting shend the killing blow.
Can you manage that?
Absolutely. You saw me handle the orcs earlier. Im not weak enough to be unable to finish them.
Then theres no need to worry. Lets go.
Just a moment.
At Min Juris call, Ryu Min turned casually.
Whats up?
While I appreciate the help, Im wondering if my presence will disrupt your quest.
Dont worry about that. Ive alreadypleted the main quest.
Really?
Hes already taken down 300 orcs?
Yet, there are over eight hours left for this round to end.
While Min Juri contemted this, Ryu Min continued, Im not aiming for the main quest. Its a sub-quest. Ive already obtained one Bnce Stone.
Oh, youve already got one?
I defeated the boss Orc Warrior. To get the others, Ill likely need to defeat more bosses.
Oh there are bosses
Being well-acquainted with games, Minjuri had anticipated that bosses would show up at some point.
Just not in this round.
If youre interested in the sub-quest, just let me know. Ill give you a shot at facing bosses solo.
Oh, no. Taking on orcs alone is already tough, let alone bosses
Min Juri pped her hands together and sneakily nced at Ryu Min.
So thats what you were worried about? You thought I might covet the Bnce Stone and betray you.
Although she believed in him, Min Juri couldnt help but think that way.
Dont worry, ck Scythe. I have no ambitions for sub-quest. Im content with the main quest alone. So theres no chance of betrayal. Not that I have the skills for it
Got it. Ill see if I can trust you.
With that, Ryu Min took the lead.
Min Juri followed closely, keeping up.
Dont stay behind,e to my side. If youre out of my sight, I cant protect you.
Sure thing.
Min Juri no longer feared ck Scythe.
Hes not as ruthless as I thought, based on our conversation.
He offered help, advised her to move to the side when danger lurked, and subtly looked out for her.
Min made the right call. Honestly, I was unsure if ck Scythe would agree to party up with me, but now hes helping me
She wondered how they would tackle the orcs, but she would find out eventually.
With those thoughts in mind, as they walked side by side, a group of orcs suddenly appeared.
Chwik- Chwik!
As three orcs approached menacingly, Min Juri raised her rapier, bracing herself.
Then, at that moment
Wait a moment.
Nonchntly, Ryu Min stepped forward, swinging his scythe low.
The orcs thick legs were severed, like slicing through meat.
Kwoak!
Kreuk!
The upper bodies of the fallen orcs hit the ground, and Ryu Mins scythe shed once more.
This time, the arms were severed from the torsos.
The orcs, now with just torsos and heads, cried out in agony.
Now, finish them off. All three.
.
Why are you hesitating?
Sorry.
Regaining herposure, Min Juri moved toward the orcs.
Thud- Thud- Thud!
Taking their lives wasnt a difficult task.
Especially when dealing with helpless opponents who had lost their limbs.
[You have defeated the orcs!]
[Experience gained +2.35%]
[Gold +40]
Min Juris mouth hung open as she read the messages that appeared.
This, this is even if its easy, this is too easy!
She knew firsthand how challenging orcs could be.
They were no pushovers as goblins.
So, even though they were considered tough, she expected there to be some level of danger.
But its not dangerous at all.
It felt as easy as plucking meat off a fishbone.
Killing orcs is this easy?
Her admiration for ck Scythes skills was renewed.
Lets continue.
Ah, yes!
She felt it once again.
How fortunate she was to have teamed up with ck Scythe.
