NOVEL NEXT Chapter 50
Light guides me, everyone follow me!
“I will become a Paladin.”
Kyah!
I believed in the GOAT!
Heavy armor style!
Baseless Berserkers cut down!
Disappointing, Sensei.
For real, if you were in your prime, you would’ve slaughtered the boss in a second after Berserking!
What aggressive energy you have!
Where did the Mollru who was EOW go?!
Listen to that clanging with every step!
Jeez,
Is your testosterone not flowing well?
Why would a 20-year-old woman like Mollru have male hormones…
Info: Unlike the image that others have of her, Mollru prefers efficient and calculated gameplay over aggressive plays.
The impact was just too much during the tournament.
Cut off the viewers’ influx!
“Don’t fight, let’s get along.”
Talking about cutting off precious influx is nonsense.
I calmed down the viewers who became intense with cheers and anger.
In the rapidly streaming chat, a lengthy message accurately analyzed my tendencies.
Yes, many misunderstand, but in fact, I prefer stable and meticulous play over flashy and daring ones that rely on physical prowess.
There’s also the thrill of gradually gaining benefits, and before, I wasn’t good at physical play, so this was my only option.
It’s not easy to change a solidified play style overnight.
Except when physical abilities are essential, like during the recent EOW tournament, I generally avoid risky plays that rely on brainpower.
I briefly explained this in a concise manner.
The viewers’ admiration for the Paladin they were rooting for added to it.
“And so, the job I chose is Light’s Guide.”
I said, showing off a new skill with a flourish.
The holy flame used by Helperte, a technique that ignites holy fire on the sword.
The sight of the pure white flames flickering on the blade was quite the spectacle.
Unfortunately, this was the only new skill I got after obtaining my new job.
After defeating the incredibly tough Helperte, this was all I got as a reward.
Both the viewers and I reacted with disbelief but quickly came to understand.
It’s awkward to give too powerful a skill in Dragon Road, which boasts catastrophic difficulty.
In fact, I was quite grateful for just this much.
The existing skills were mostly just a roll that grants temporary invincibility and parrying, which reflects enemy attacks.
Thinking of supplementing the lacking damage with this new holy flame was the best option.
Plus, if you clear this kind of game too quickly, it’s just not fun.
In that regard, I might not be entertaining the viewers well.
But I couldn’t pretend I wasn’t skilled either.
Broadcasting was such a challenging and profound task.
Just then, while interacting with the viewers and testing the holy flame, the screen suddenly shifted, causing a stop event like the previous cutscene to occur.
And a familiar figure appeared.
The beautiful woman who facilitated the duel with Helperte.
– The fated warrior, Helperte. He was my loyal servant. At the same time, he was the strongest Paladin…
“I guess this person must be the Goddess since they mentioned a servant? She appeared briefly in the teaser.”
Given the veil, it must be right!
Beautiful!
Hehe…
So pretty!
Since the Goddess is appearing, this route must be correct!
Looks like it’s some backstory on Helperte?
Someone should summarize this and upload it to YouTube as Dragon Road story!
In the frozen world, the Goddess narrated stories like an old grandmother telling tales from long ago.
While the viewers were getting more and more excited about the new stories connecting to the initial plot disclosed by Game Studio, I began to lose interest.
I listened attentively for the first five minutes, but as the story continued past ten minutes, it barely registered in my ears.
Without any skip function available, I was stuck listening to this dull tale.
Others might not skip and would listen closely, but I had a habit of skipping parts when such stories arise.
Yawn…
In contrast to the reactions in the chat room, I scratch my belly, yawning.
My yawn echoed through the mic and was relayed live to the viewers, who swiftly shifted their attention from the Goddess’s tale to me.
The Goddess is explaining an ancient secret right now…
Who dares to yawn in class?
For real, there was no part to skip in Helperte’s last moments as a Berserker to becoming a Paladin.
I cried up and down. ㅠㅠ
Sob…
Mollru feels so relatable; I was honestly bored too. ㅇㅇ
For real lol, it’s not like I care if Helperte was a Berserker or a Paladin 1 boss.
I would’ve pressed skip if that button was there.
Let’s just go catch a dragon instead!
“Yeah, I’d love to do that too….”
I stretched slightly in response to a few viewers echoing the boredom I also felt.

[Below this point, it will be broadcasted]
[Still getting hit by Balak, the streamer list]
> [The most promising candidates for fast-running]
Comprehensive gaming broadcast minor gallery.
It was brimming with discussions about the just-released hot game, Dragon Road.
Amidst the diverse streamers’ broadcasts, suddenly, one streamer’s post began to dominate the gallery.
Mollru, the streamer who started the game only five hours ago.
However, due to their impressive skills, they were being talked about as a leading candidate for a fast run, blitzing through stages.
When it was noted that with Mollru, even the boss dragon could be one-tapped, changes began to emerge.
[Mollru entered the Hidden Route ㄷㄷ]
Volcanic Path > Left at the fork > Defeat Plague Doctor (Challenge Achieved) > Enter the Temple > Event Boss Helperte defeated > Paladin job change.
Right now, I’m listening to the worldview explanation from the Goddess that appeared in the trailer; it’s slow since I can’t skip it.
ㅇㅇ: Was there really such a thing as job changing in this game?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: Picking up weapons and gear for upgrades was all there was.
ㅇㅇ: Is this not the first for streamers?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: It is the first; no one internationally explored this route.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: Many reached the Plague Doctor, but fell short on that challenge.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: The challenge was hidden in the first place.
ㅇㅇ: I cried while tearing up after listening to Helperte’s backstory ㅠㅠ
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: Seems like an exaggeration…
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: This is what transformation looks like…
ㅇㅇ: It’s hilarious that they didn’t go Berserker ㅋㅋ, Mollru’s level.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: Crazy dog, catch him!
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: Woah!*
<'Upvote'>
(Roughly Mollru making a V with their hand in a photo)
Even starting later than others, they aren’t falling behind at all…
Whether it’s bosses or mobs, they just shred through them…
They obliterate everything in one tap…
Completing all challenges without batting an eye…
While the Goddess provides an elaborate worldview explanation, they yawn away…
I believed in you, GOAT.
ㅇㅇ: Kyah!
ㅇㅇ: Mollru! Mollru! Mollru! Mollru! Mollru! Mollru!
ㅇㅇ: These Mollru fanboys making such a fuss are a sight to behold ㅋㅋ, the board is theirs.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: Haha.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: They never said a word when other streamers’ posts came up, but suddenly?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: If you’re mad… you know what to do?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: 116.13 – The only time the board explodes is when it’s a Mollru post.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: The life of a superstar seems tiring.
[BREAKING NEWS: Mollru surpasses 50,000 viewers]
Top Korean streamer on Switch, ranked #1 in the Dragon Road category.
ㅇㅇ: Even David Carlson, the developer of Dragon Road, is watching Mollru’s stream ㄷㄷ!
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: What’s this about?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: I think he typed in chat when Helperte was defeated, but it was so fast it got lost.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: There’s immense beauty in this battle, greatly so.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: Probably used a translator to type that ㅋㅋ, so cute.
ㅇㅇ: The story’s finally over; we’re going to hunt the dragon now.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: Let’s go!~

“The Goddess sure has a long tongue, doesn’t she? I’ll just dodge here.”
We were climbing the steep cliffs to reach the Dragon’s Nest, where the final boss, the dragon, resided.
This is sacrilege!
Even while saying this, the dodging is impeccable! ㅋㅋㅋ
Many people fall off here!
The steep cliffs almost seemed to crumble with each step, as rocks tumbled down from above.
If you got hit by even one, you would suffer a concussion and fall back down, having to start climbing from the bottom again.
This segment is known as the Wall of Cry.
Thud—
Upon reaching the top, the warrior raised their hand and landed on the ground.
Scattered around were the bones of beasts, and in the center, a nest made of plush feathers and straw.
In the middle rested a massive egg.
Seeing it resembled an ostrich egg I had seen before, I spoke up.
“It’s just a bigger version of a bird’s nest, isn’t it? The egg too.”
Creeeak—
As I stepped towards the nest, the beast’s roar echoed around me.
It felt like a warning, telling me not to approach any closer.
Soon, the sound of wings flapping echoed as the owner of the voice revealed itself.
