3 Rounds by Myself

25 – Hidden Quest (3)

‘Apparently, there was no mention of conflict quests in Park Tae-seok’s attack.’

That’s right.

While perusing Tae-seok’s YouTube, he had already learned how to capture Elia’s quest in Havana Grassland through the video.

However, the aspect of the current development was completely different from that.

In an instant, I remembered Taesuk’s voice on YouTube.

-I have to find a man named Dihart and convince him to return to Elia. First of all, he’s a very picky person, so if you do something wrong, you could die on the spot! If you convince her well and return to Elia, this hidden quest will be completed safely. Note that! A tip to convince him is to show your human side. On the one hand, he also wants people because he is in hiding after being seriously injured by people. ‘Cause he’s lonely

‘Yes…. Clearly there was no mention of a conflict quest.’

In that video, Tae-seok didn’t even mention that it was a collision quest.

‘Are you saying that quests may not flow the same way every time? And, a conflict quest happening to me…….’

In this way, it was rarely the case that the story aspect of the quest changed.

More surprising than that was the occurrence of the collision quest.

It was impossible for Siwoon, a newbie who was only around level 10.

The conflict quest was an event that occurred to hunters who had met certain high levels, reputations, and achievements.

Confusion ensued.

Wow! Munching!

The man on the other side was still visibly emitting the sound of chewing on bat meat.

Siwoon leaned back behind the wall of the cave, out of sight of him, not breathing.

‘Let’s see the detailed quest contents.’

After a while, two quest windows came to mind.

[Elia Tears-3][Hidden Quest]

Dihart was found in Havana Cave.

He was a man who knew the dignity, stature, and style of a guard commander, but he seems to be leading a terribly broken life now.

Let’s somehow persuade him to take him to Elia.

Dan! He is full of aggressive tendencies, so be careful when approaching him.

Time limit: 24 hours.

Success condition: Encounter between Elia and Dihart.

Fail condition: Dihart’s death. Or escape.

Failure Penalty: Relationship with Elia is reduced to !

My relationship with Dihart has been reduced to !

Reward: Gain a lot of experience points.

Receive Ellia’s precious gift.

Relationship with Elia rises to

…… And the next quest.

[Traitor’s Pursuit][National Quest]

I found the traitor Dihart in the Havana cave.

He was a figure who protected the Blue Dragon Guard of the kingdom of Balkas, but he fell for the hem of a woman’s skirt, neglected the state, escaped the king’s eyes, and plotted rebellion out of vain desire.

The current location of the Havana Caves will soon be flooded with guards assigned a search mission.

Join the guards and slay the traitor Dihart on the spot!

Time limit: 24 hours.

Conditions for Success: Secure supply of Dihart.

Failure condition: Dihart escapes.

Penalty for Failure: None.

Reward: 50 million gold. Fame rises by 15.

‘The difference in compensation is huge!’

That’s right.

You can only complete one of the two quests, and you can succeed.

But the difference between the rewards for completing the two quests was truly enormous.

And I was able to find something strange in the description of the collision quest.

There were two topics.

-I fell for the hem of a woman’s skirt and neglected the country.

With this part.

-He plotted rebellion by embellishing vain desires.

This was the part.

‘These parts are incorrect.’

I was able to know Siwoon at once.

The explanation of the extra quest ‘Trace of the Traitor’ that just arrived and collided was not an objective fact, but a description of the subjective point of view of the nation of Balkas.

‘The Traitor’s Pursuit’ is definitely a quest named National Quest.

A country quest is the content that is seen from the perspective of the country in question, and the content, direction, and conditions of the quest are created.

Siwoon already knew that.

‘The truth is that I, an old man named Dihart, who is noisily picking bats in the corner, is unfairly framed and chased.’

Siwoon tightly closed his eyes.

‘…… Whoa, that’s embarrassing.’

In fact, I was troubled.

The difference in reward between the two quests was so great that it was the difference between heaven and earth.

To complete the quest ‘Traitor’s Pursuit’…… I have to kill that pitiful human with a story.’

Abandon your conscience and choose a huge reward!

Or, will you stand on the side of the truth and make a choice without giving up on your minimum conscience as a human being?

I had to make a choice right now.

It was because he kindly explained that the guards were rushing here in the quest titled ‘Traitor’s Pursuit’.

I had to decide which quest to choose before they came.

Shiwoon removed the wall he was leaning on for a moment, and then slightly pushed his face out to look at the man.

“……… Munch! Munch!”

He was mindlessly nibbling on bat meat, shaking his unkempt head.

His body was full of knife marks and scars from all kinds of wars, as if he clearly showed the traces of his life as a royal guard.

I moved my gaze to his face.

His eyes were pensive.

Siwoon could be known through the body signal.

That he is so sad right now.

Siwoon placed his hand on the handle of the greatsword Claymore.

‘…… What a pitiful man.’

The man chewed off his bat’s head one last time and then lay down.

And after a while,

“Kruroong, koooool!”

I heard him snoring loudly.

The sound and vibration were so loud that the entire cave shook and dust from the ceiling fell to the floor.

After lying down for less than five minutes, he was asleep.

‘Now is the perfect time to do the Traitor Tracking Quest….’

That’s right.

The opponent is, apparently, a man who used to be the captain of the guards and is said to be flying long.

When he was sleeping defenselessly, I could easily solve the problem by stabbing him in the chest with the Claymore.

If that happens, you will receive a honey-like reward of 50 million gold.

The value of 50 million gold right now, in the early stages of a hunter’s life, is enormous.

With that money, you can decorate expensive items, and you can enjoy a more comfortable hunter life without worrying about money.

‘…… Mmm.’

However, I was worried.

That man…

He had to be a sinner even though he was not guilty.

Because of that, he is a man with a grievous story of having to put down all honor and live a life that is not like that kind of person.

It was then.

-Did you say here?

-Shh! Quiet. You have to approach slowly.

-He said he saw him in this cave. Everyone get nervous Build your formation slowly.

I heard a whisper in a very small voice.

‘Guards!’

Siwoon hid behind a wall.

And he stuck out the Claymore’s blade.

‘Isn’t it enough for 20 people? You brought a lot.’

The reason Siwoon held out the blade was to see their appearance on the edge of the blade and estimate their number.

To the common eye, through the side of the blade, it was impossible to see the guards walking from a distance in this dark cave.

But trials were possible.

First of all, it was time to stop worrying about choices!

‘My choice.’

Tak!

A stone flew out of Siwoon’s hand and landed on the bedside of Diehart, who was sleeping.

Bulkkeok!

At the same time as the sound of the stone hitting the ground, Diehard woke up.

And then, he held the old spear lying next to it like lightning in his hand.

“I found it!”

“Dihart . . . Fit “

A guard is unable to complete his words, and his face and body are cut in two on the spot.

At the same time, blood gushed around like a fountain.

In front of him, he saw Dihart, who was already taking the posture after swinging the Hanhap.

“Equip the display!”

“Stand back! Bow, shoot the bow!”

“Arrow Shot!”

Shasha Shock!

From behind the guard holding a sword, arrows mixed with green mana spheres flew like a shower.

Ta ta tak!

However, the arrows only landed in empty ground.

“It’s up!!”

One of the guards shouted.

After that, all the guards’ eyes moved to the ceiling.

Already, Dihart was leaping into the air holding his spear.

Shaak! Shaak!

“Quaaah….”

“Hey!”

With two flashes, the screams of the guards rang out!

The guards in Dihart’s room immediately swung their swords.

“Huh!”

The sound of a spirit filled with power in Danjeon.

It was Diehard’s upbringing.

Percussion! Bang!

I swung my spear and hit their swords, and all the swords bounced to the ground from the guards’ hands.

Immediately, Dihart spread his arms out to his sides and charged at them.

“Sphere.”

As the sound of Dihardt’s low voice spread, the two guards who collided with Diehardt’s torso rushed forward and rolled.

Fall! There was also the sound of the spine of one of the fallen beings being crushed.

“Haap!”

One of the guards rallied and swung his sword, but Dihart had already read the movement, quickly backed away to dodge the attack, and clutched the guard’s head with his huge hand.

“Ughhhhh!!”

The guard felt intense pain as the bones in his face were shattered by Dihart’s grip, and soon fell limp on the spot.

Immediately, Dihart turned his head and quickly dug into the arms of another guard!

It was a movement like lightning, a sense of battle like a beast!

“Fast, fast!”

“Mation! Mation!! Hurry up and apply for long-distance support!”

“Fire Bolt!”

“Iron Dedalt!”

“Water Arrow!”

A ball of fire flickered from the wizard’s hand and shot terrifyingly at Dihart.

After that, ranged support ranged magic followed the flame orb.

Pain! Paaang!

Let the magic spheres hit Dihart’s torso! Smoke rose with a loud explosion.

“Be alert! He’s not dead!”

At the guards’ shouts, bow guards opened fire in support from behind.

Innumerable arrows flew mercilessly into the smoky place.

The guards at the forefront put forward their torso-sized shields to protect their entire body, preparing for a defensive posture.

Shoot ah!

Shoot!

Several arrows flew into the thick smoke.

The arrow flew in a parabolic arc and disappeared behind the thick smoke.

“…… Boss, wouldn’t he be dead?”

“Don’t approach me yet. This is Dihart, a former captain of the Blue Dragon Guard!”

The smoke slowly began to clear.

The guards were firmly in formation and were keeping their eyes on the smoke that was being lifted.

With a lot of tension swallowed up.

“Cool, cool!”

He could be seen through the clearing smoke.

He was coughing up red blood with arrows stuck in his chest, shoulder, and forearm.

“You can’t breathe even after being hit by an arrow like that without any armor?”

A startled guard shuddered.

“Shut up and pay attention! Group 1. Follow me and support me Dash Attack!”

At the same time as the chief of security’s skill starter, he swung a sword that sprang out quickly like a spring and glowed red.

“Beast Roar!!”

Dihart’s voice continued.

“…… Oops.”

“… Ooh, I can move.”

“Damn it!”

The guards were frozen in place and could only move their mouths.

Shaak! Shaak! Shaak!

Dihart quickly dug into the gap and speared.

“…… Wow.”

“You are too strong…… All.”

Three guards collapsed while spilling their last will.

Dihart was roaming the enemy camp like a beast!

“The duration of the beast’s roar is 5 seconds. Hold on for the next two seconds!”

The chief of security said in a low, trembling voice.

He, too, held his sword in the air and did not move his body like a hardened stone statue.

Dihart’s eyes grew heavy.

Life overflowed from his eyes.

“You all die here today.”

Dihart, his voice flows.

Percussion! A single kick from Diehard knocked the guard, who had been pushing his shield forward, back. In the aftermath, the shield soldiers around them stumbled as if riding a wave. Their displays were quickly disorganized.

With one kick, the guards’ defense line collapsed!

Grab!

“Quaaagh!!”

The blade of the spear pierced a guard from the eye to the back of his head.

The guard trembled with his body.

“I want to live.”

Dark red blood flowed down the guard’s face like rain.

Puff!

Soon, the scream of the guard just now became the world’s last will.

It was then.

The chief of security began to move his frozen body.

“Okay! The duration of the beast’s roar has ended. Rear troops! What are you doing!”

Chief shouted as he fixed his sword again.

After that, the guards on the front line held out their shields and swung their swords.

“Dead Shield!”

“Battle Attack!”

A blue shield was covered on the shield he held out, followed by another guard’s attack skill.

However.

That attack bounced back in vain.

Don’t fall!

The shield with the shield was also shattered on the spot by a spear blow.

“Sah, sasasa…… Save… Please, I didn’t want to come here either… It’s all….”

One of the guards who was lying down holding a fragment of a shattered shield screamed.

Dihart stepped in front of him and held his spear high.

“Die quietly.”

“Keep, ugh!! Do, help!!”

Seeing Diethart, who was about to strike down a spear at him with his hair disheveled on a huge figure, the fallen guard screamed madly and cried.

Guards with swords in the vicinity rushed at Diehard for his comrades.

Shaak!

“Keep it off.”

I heard a moan of metal.

The true identity of the moan was Diethart, who had been cut in the thigh by the sword of the chief of security.

It was the chief of security who took advantage of the chaos, rolled to the ground, dug in quickly, and stabbed Diehard with a sword.

“Cheuk. Heo-eok, hee-eok.”

Dihart, who seemed immortal, stumbled and gasped.

Following him, countless knives from the remaining guards flew from all directions.

Chalkadang!

However, those many knives were ricocheted off by one large knife.

“…What? You.”

The chief of security asked with surprised eyes.

What appeared out of nowhere in front of the security director’s eyes.

It was a strangely dressed guy holding a greatsword studded with magic stones, wearing the skin of a giant wild boar from his face to his feet.

It was Lee Si-woon.
