Chapter 180
Episode 180:
There is a possibility that another being’s magical power is spreading across the disconnected continent!
Even if it was just a one-of-a-kind possibility, it couldn’t be ignored.
As the meeting of the previous giants came to an end, X escaped through the window and canceled the dark assimilation.
‘You may be out of your mind, but I have to let you know.’
He took out a piece of parchment and a feather pen from his inventory and relayed the information to Sioras.
Sioras seems to be very busy, so there has been no reply yet. Of course, there is no need to worry about the Great Sage, who is considered the strongest in the world.
“At times like that, I better take care of my own business.”
X shrugged his shoulders and surveyed the scenery of Bataan, the giant village. Rugged and huge buildings! There were disorganized products scattered on stalls all over the streets.
X joined Martinan and walked down the street.
“Well, there won’t be anything to see. As I said, giants have strong independent tendencies, so they tend not to engage in unnecessary interactions.”
Whether that statement was true or not, there wasn’t even a tavern that was commonly found in every village. As I listened to the story, contrary to my first impression, I began to feel a fondness for the giants.
Sighing, X raised the corner of his mouth.
‘He would be very suitable as a member of the Eating Alone Alliance.’
Giants who join forces only for battle and the greater good!
There was something in common with the Eating Alone Alliance. Even in Bataan, the only village of such giants, there was nothing to see.
Even though it was late, I walked for a while and didn’t see any of the other giants.
“Well, shall we stop sightseeing and get started in earnest?”
Let’s go to the hunting ground!
X received the SS rank quest to conquer the severed continent! Clearing the hunting ground with the highest level of difficulty in the Giant’s Mountain Range was basic, and sky goats were an indispensable prey.
Thump thump.
Heavy steps.
Martin led X to the hunting ground. As we left Bataan through the East Gate, a path to a low rocky mountain appeared.
The shadows flail their tails when they sense that they are popular!
As expected, its size was unusual.
Tiroling! A notification rang as X regained his appetite.
[You have discovered the ‘Giant’s Forecourt’ for the first time in Fate World!]
[Experience gain near the Giant’s Forecourt increases by 20% for 72 hours!]
[The item acquisition rate near the Giant’s Forecourt increases by 20% for 72 hours! I’m doing it!]
“Okay, shall we try moving it slowly?”
The giant’s front yard!
As its name suggests, it could be said to be the most formidable hunting ground in the Giant’s Mountains. The average level was in the 800s to 900s, which was lower than the level of the monsters that appeared on the outskirts of the rocky mountain range where the quests received from the giants were performed.
But X’s eyes still glowed brightly.
“The low level is also the standard for a disconnected continent. “It’s hard to find monsters of this level on the Arba continent.”
“Kyunut!”
“What kind of rabbit looks so scary?!”
Slaves 1, 2, and 3 gathered together before we knew it!
Killua systematically took action.
Of the three, the one with the most skill control was Spirit Killua. Killua began to attract aggro by spreading pollen in all directions.
Chick chug! Dull!
A group of level 810 large rock-toothed rabbits showed their hostility. There didn’t seem to be any damage, so Killua’s attack seemed like it was just annoying. Killua became sullen.
“If I can’t even catch a rabbit, I lose face.”
“Kyuut kyuut.”
At first, it was all like that.
Yongyong was unique from the start, but unlike his owner, he had a warm side. Moreover, Killua’s position in the slave trio was support, not combat.
Green onions! Soon, the combat staff took advantage of their special skills and moved.
‘Let’s hunt as efficiently as possible.’
That way, you can hit a lot of people.
It seems that Yongyong Lee also had the same thoughts as X.
One tail slap.
A bunch of rabbits turning gray with a single swing! They were crossing the nether at high speed like moths to fire.
Martin, who was watching, clicked his tongue inwardly.
‘I don’t think even old giants can hunt at this speed?’
Unlike the uncooperative giants, X was faithfully performing his role. Martin couldn’t help but be impressed by the division of roles he saw for the first time.
Tiroling!
[Your level has risen!]
“Huh already?”
How long has it been since you started hunting that your level has risen? Indeed, the effect of the first discovered buff could not be ignored. After investing bonus points appropriately in patience, courage, composure, and intuition, I devoted myself to the hunt again.
puck! A group of rabbits falling out of a room, several at a time.
In fact, it was more like labor than a tense hunt, but X was not disappointed. As I said, this was the safest hunting ground in the Giant Mountains.
X thought of things to do in the Giant’s Mountains.
‘First of all, I have to get acquainted with the giants of the past.’
Ancestral giants!
On the outside, they looked no different from young giants like Martinan, but they must have known a lot as they had lived for a long time. Moreover, even though the young giants complained, they were following their opinions.
X glanced at Martinan with a sinister gaze.
“If we build a relationship of trust, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to lure him to Xernis, right?”
One shot of proper kimchi soup.
Even if that was too much, there was a need to score points against the previous giants anyway.
New quests and endless possibilities! Since X has benefited from NPCs more than any other user, I thought hard about it.
‘Actually, the simplest thing is to catch the sky goat.’
Sky goat!
A strong and smart guy is a problem even for giants.
If X could solve a problem, it was natural that the giants would express their gratitude and favor. Hana X is the embodiment of greed!
It whetted my appetite.
“There is a possibility that the Sky Goat can also be connected to a quest.”
Sky Goat loot plus quest rewards!
So, X came to a conclusion.
First, he said he would build up intimacy with the previous giants just enough to receive the Sky Goat quest, and then build a trust relationship through the Sky Goat quest.
At that point, I was confident that I could just lie down and eat rice cake.
‘I don’t think it would be difficult if we use the giants’ temperament.’
Isn’t X the one who won the push and pull with the Kurula warriors? puck! Now that I had made a plan, it was time to finish off the prey in front of me.
After that, X, who was in the midst of a massacre, stopped.
[Saturation is below 10%.]
“Wow, I moved hard today too.”
It was when the belly clock rang. Martin seemed to be itching just to watch the hunt, so he started picking edible grass nearby.
“This reed grass removes the fishy smell of meat. “Of course, it’s not as good as that spice.”
“okay? “Then let’s try this today.”
“Please leave the care to me, Brother X!”
“You feel a bit burdened.”
“Hehe, is that so?”
Martin was constantly calling X “big brother.” At first, he seemed to dislike X, but after seeing X’s cooking skills, he started to sincerely look up to him as an older brother and even a teacher.
Bubble bubble!
There was no need or situation to prepare special food. Using the reed that Martin gave me, I caught the smell of the rabbit meat and started cooking it.
Sizzle!
Appetizing sounds and scents tickled my senses. The sound of the uvula moving was as loud as its size.
gulp! X suddenly became curious about Martin, who kept swallowing his saliva.
“Martitan, are you not interested in battle at all?”
“Yes. “Maybe it’s not a good fit?”
“Hmm, I see.”
A warrior giant created by the World Tree!
As they were warriors for the balance of the world, they all had amazing physical strength. The Kurula warriors were great, but the giants seemed to be on a higher level than them.
So, I can’t help but feel regretful.
‘Martitan could be taken to Xernis right now.’
X, unable to let go of his regrets, asked irritably.
“Then you can’t catch rabbits like this, right?”
“Rabbit? A brother. “No matter what, you say that.”
…what?
There is hope in Martin, who snorts. He continued speaking with a slightly arrogant expression.
“Just because you’re not interested in combat doesn’t mean your combat skills are lower. “I think it will take a while for the food to be ready, so would you like to show it to you if I have time?”
A battle of real giants!
It was natural to be curious.
As X nodded vigorously, Martin took out the dagger from his belt. The prey, of course, was a large rock-toothed rabbit seen nearby.
‘You probably don’t have the posture to catch a rabbit with a dagger.’
It was a large rock-toothed rabbit similar in size to X, but it was barely an ankle taller than the giant Martin.
I was worried about whether that heavy body could move flexibly, but it was unfounded.
“!”
A movement so fluid that it makes you gasp. It was a perfect movement without any flaws.
Shashak! When Martinan nimbly bent down and swung his dagger, he suffered considerable damage. Even the clean continuous attacks that follow.
“It’s not just one shot, but it’s still a little bit, right?”
Martin killed a rabbit in an instant. I was surprised by his appearance as a chosen warrior, but more than anything, Martin’s basic skills were not at an average level.
X’s basic proficiency has reached 90%. Thanks to this, I was able to recognize that level.
‘Unlike me, who has unnecessary movements, there is no unnecessary movement.’
In other words, Martin’s basic proficiency was higher than his!
Is this the difference in bloodline?
My skill level is higher than anyone else who practices the basics every day. Although the warriors that the World Tree created directly were different, they were definitely different.
Martin sat down again and scratched his head awkwardly.
“It’s been a while since I last practiced, but my senses are still the same, so I didn’t lose face.”
“Practice?”
“Oh, of course it wasn’t voluntary. “It’s essential.”
X, who was sighing at the word practice, raised his head. And as Martin’s explanation began, the corners of his mouth began to turn towards the sky. X cried out in joy.
A giant’s training ground!
It is said that it is a place run by previous giants and is the first place new giants arrive. Even if you are not apt for combat, you must have a certain level of military power to survive in the rugged Giant Mountains.
“It is said that the giants of the beginning also passed through that training ground.”
Martin, who hated fighting, also seemed to have nothing in mind about the training ground. Of course, that wasn’t what was important to X.
Training center!
How could you not know?
‘A favorite course for new players.’
If you hit the training ground scarecrow without stopping, you will get a hidden class!
It’s almost like a kind of urban legend. Although no user actually obtained the hidden class, they were able to obtain stat and experience bonuses based on their efforts at the training center.
But its limitations were clear.
‘Level 10, basic skill proficiency up to 10%?’
There were intermediate and advanced training centers above the beginner level, but from beginner level and above, there was less to be gained compared to the time invested. Unless you are a player who is really into hard work, you will not be interested in the training center.
But the giant’s training ground was different.
“You didn’t do anything other than hit the scarecrow at the training center?!”
“That’s right, so I was a little surprised too.”
“…Then of course!”
There are no limits to the giant’s training ground!
Doesn’t that mean that if you put in the effort, you can properly improve your basic proficiency?
X immediately opened the lid of the pot and muttered in a solemn voice.
“Okay, rune stone traversal is included in the quest. In addition, the hard work at the training ground is also added.”
