Chapter 347 - 347 – More Quests!
Before logging off the last time, Max had found the clue to the next mission. As soon as he appeared in the station, he immediately followed the light and found Jamal in the corner. The yapper looked rather down, his eyes downcast.
Max approached him. No matter how he saw it, the ladies that he mentioned before he parted ways hurt him one way or another. And unfortunately, this yapper was the next quest giver. So he had no choice but to talk to him.
"What’s wrong, dude? You got dumped on?" He asked with a tint of playfulness in his voice.
"Oh, newbie?" Jamal asked, the energy in his voice was gone. Sighing, he looked on the floor. "It’s not that, newbie. If it’s just that, I won’t be this sad. It’s worse."
"What happened?" It sounded pretty urgent and dangerous.
"Hear me. There is a sighting of a Colossal-Class monster."
Jamal began the story with a solemn expression.
"When I met the ladies earlier, I saw them crying their eyes out. Their hometown was destroyed overnight. Only two of them, siblings, survived. They didn’t know what to do and were under massive stress. After staying still for a few minutes, the younger one dragged her sister to ask for help."
Holding his face and gritting his teeth, the yapper continued.
"Man, I almost broke when I heard their story. The houses around them looked as if they had been trampled. Ground turned into lava, and crops were burned. Hills were flattened, and trees were flipped. Everything was destroyed without any mercy."
Max tried to picture it and shuddered. An image appeared in his vision. It wasn’t just his imagination or illusion, but a real one. The game had shown him the village’s destruction.
"This is the trampled village?"
— Well, this isn’t fun.
— That certainly is ’destruction’. No pun intended.
— The game shows the scene of destruction. Now this is a good game. Still, is that real? Poor villages.
— To think the yapper shows such intense emotion.
Max was able to look at the trampled village from the sky, giving him the perfect view of the destruction. Just as Jamal described earlier, the scene could even make a grown man cry.
"Their description reminded me of my past. I had directly seen and experienced the scene that they described before. That’s why I am sure they aren’t lying."
Jamal’s voice rang in the surroundings as the scene faded away. The yapper raised his head, looking at Max.
"This is without a doubt the work of a Colossal-Class monster. I will inform Caesar about its existence and we probably will send a scout soon. That’s why, prepare and train yourself. You might be forced to join the expedition soon."
[Ding! A new mission is generated.]
[Colossal-Class Sighting!]
[Colossal-Class monster has been sighted destroying one village. An expedition will be planned soon. Prepare and hone yourself. Take 3 Quest and kill a total of 3 Medium-Class monsters from the board.]
Max looked at the notification and took everything in. When he closed it, Jamal stood up and patted his shoulder.
"I will go first. If you’re ready, head to our base in Daigon Valley."
A bird, resembling a vulture, without feathers ate a whole cow in the middle of the Plain. Its wings were spread wide, made from leather. He didn’t know whether it could fly with that or not, but he would fight it while thinking it could to avoid any surprise attack.
From its beak, green liquid dripped down. The cow that got covered in the liquid seemed to be in pain and tried to move desperately.
’Poison, and probably acidic.’ Max thought as he stopped, watching the scene. Before he realized it, the light had disappeared already.
He was alone, a hundred meters away from the said monstrosity.
’It can melt the cow’s hide, but the effect is slow. However, if that hits my hand or skin, I don’t think I will be able to handle the pain. It will definitely melt my skin in a matter of seconds. Antidotes I have will also be useless. Maybe not so much, but it won’t be able to protect me from the acid.’
The cow couldn’t move any further when Maltrax put it inside its mouth. The acidic liquid also had a paralyzing effect, which could only be cured with Antidote.
’Maybe I can cure the wound if I drink the Antidote and health potions at once. Hmm, this is doable.’
After observing his target for a while, Max gripped his tusk sword and grinned. Find more to read on novelhall.Côm
"Well, let’s hunt a poisonous bird, shall we? Its meat might be bad, but my goal is that leather skin. The neck looks hard, so I will target its heart or any organ on its chest."
— Hmm, so we’re now watching a smart Breeze. This will be fun.
— Smart Breeze? What are you talking about?
— Let me explain, new guy. Breeze has 2 sides, silly and smart. This one you see is the smart one. The silly one was the gentleman from earlier
— This guy casually analyzed the monster’s capability just by seeing it eating a cow lol. He’s smart but pretends to be normal
— I love both Breeze, hehehe. Marry me!
— In your dream. Breeze already has LilyPixel, you hag!
The viewers clamored like usual.
Max ignored them and concentrated. Right now, he wanted to finish the fight as soon as possible.
Approaching silently wouldn’t work. Maltrax already had its eyes on him since the start, eyeing him like a predator finding a nice, juicy prey.
That was why, he’d rather use this situation to make a funny moment instead of trying to surprise attack it and fail.
Standing in attention, he raised his sword above his head.
"Give me your pelt, you cowlicker! Or I shall slay you!" He declared openly as he stood a bit away from Maltrax. "Hah! Announcing my presence like this is gentlemanly. Let’s have a nice duel!"
— Correction, it’s silly Breeze
— lololol, duel with a monster
— Gentleman? I mean... Are you sure Maltrax is a male?
— You just one-sidedly declared a duel. That’s not a gentleman’s behavior...
"Forget the small matters! Here I go!"
