Players Who Returned 10,000 Years Later
Chapters 27. Stronger Than Expected (Part 1)
Oho! Today was the day the boss was at the gate.
— So, shall we hunt?
you are crazy? When you caught him…
Next to the man in uniform, there were several Players who were discussing the boss of the monster.
They were arguing about whether to risk their lives to capture this monster.
'As expected, starting from Level C Gate, everything changed.' Kang Yu nodded, looking at the gathered Players.
The equipment of the high level players in particular caught his attention.
You don't need to be a genius to see such a clear difference between an early level Player and a high level one.
'Maybe I also have to buy equipment.' He had never met a monster that he would fight with special equipment in battle, but you never knew before what could happen in the uncharted waters of the Gate.
— Hm, let's see.. — If he will get the equipment, he will not only get it for himself, but also for Han Sol and Dae Su. Kang Yu looked around again.
- Let's go!
— Let's pull his head this time!
— Let's get a gift!
One noisy party filled with optimistic Players walked towards the Gate.
Kang Yu focused his gaze on the team that was about to leave.
'Checkings must be strict.' Kang Yu heard more than once that from level C, the examination became more thorough. Each player will have a different inspector.
They also used an obscure machine to check which amount of stone.
"It looks like they're checking passports at the entrance of the bar." Kang Yu realized why the victims of the Andras Guild were captured at the D-level gate.
Given their reputation and such a thorough examination at the higher level gate, they could have been caught off guard.
— Well... — Among the crowd, Kang Yu noticed an inspector in the distance who carefully inspected one Player, who, in the end, was not allowed to enter, probably due to the absence of a party.
'This is a good opportunity.' Kang Yu looked at the several Players surrounding the Gate.
Everyone is focused on the player who shouts, promises to catch the boss and get the reward.
'It was said that which stone was mined from a level B boss might cost around a million won.' It is widely believed that the quality of such stones is several times higher, which makes them more expensive to sell.
In particular, a stone where a troll boss could be worth several million won in an instant.
— Maybe this time we should go.
— Actually, I'm not sure.
All the Players gathered in front of the entrance looked at each other with doubtful gazes.
Of course, killing a troll boss at level C was more difficult than killing a hobgoblin at level E.
This is because the difference between levels B and C is much greater than between levels C and E.
- Great. —Kang Yu once again looks at the hesitant Players.
Kang Yu gently approached the gallery players and shouted loudly:
— Don't miss this opportunity and catch the boss together! How can he escape if we go towards him in the middle of the crowd?
- That's right! Rather than standing here, let's join forces and finish him off! —The person who originally promised to finish off the monster immediately agreed.
Other players actively support them, but there is one important issue:
— In this scenario, the reward is too small.
- Yeah!
Of course, the more Players that went to the party, the less money they would earn.
Even considering the fact that they will get over a million, it does not entertain – too much.
Kang Yu once again shouted at the doubtful crowd:
— But think about experience points! The boss is strong, so each one of us will get enough points.
As they heard Kang Yu's words, the eyes of the Players sparkled.
Killing the boss not only gives money but also experience points. That's a decent amount of experience points.
That's an accurate point. Advice for a quick fix can seduce anyone.
'Everyone knows that when you kill a monster at a high level, and even more so when you kill a boss, you get decent experience points, even if there are many Players within the party.' Same with 'elite' monsters'.
When killing 'elites', each Player is given a lot of experience. Even if it was shared by all the Players, it was much more than when killing ordinary monsters.
- Great!
— Now we have a chance, let's see what this boss is like!
As they say, 'Splitting a fire will light a fire..'
Once the Players agree, their desire to catch the boss becomes even greater.
Even the familiar parties turned around and looked at them with interest.
'A little more and the fire of their desire will be lit up completely.' Kang Yu 'burned the wick', got out of the crowd, and started watching.
Of course, he had not thought of joining the party to catch his boss.
That way, he won't get much money. He got experience points, but the payment received for which stone should be split among all of them.
To him, the monster's body was an important component, thanks to which he not only received mana stones but also additional Magi with Devourer Power.
That's why he didn't want to share it with anyone else at all.
The player who screamed the most before starting to gather members.
Twenty people came together. When they gathered in large groups and came to the gate, they could be mistaken as guilds.
- Let's go!
— Let's kill the boss and get ranked 4th!
And so, suddenly a big party was made to catch and kill the boss.
They ascertained each other's abilities and headed for the checkers at the gate.
'Now.' Kang Yu waited until the crowd reached the gate and walked towards them.
Each inspector focuses on checking the Player ID carefully while the crowd watches what happens.
— Please queue!
- Wait a minute!
At that moment, while the inspectors were helping to organize the Players, Kang Yu, with the help of Sky Force, flew over the fence inconspicuously and ended up at the Gate. He applied the Power of Oblivion to some soldiers who were not involved in the noisy confrontation and slipped into the Level C Gate.
'Good.' Kang Yu who had entered the gate smiled and looked at the scenery around him.
'The area looks like a gate with goblins.' The place he entered was filled with dense forest.
As he passed through the bushes, he went further and further into the forest.
'Now the question is where to find the boss.' He ascended into the sky to take a look, but due to the dense undergrowth, there was nothing to be seen.
Suddenly, Kang Yu remembered one Power.
'Can I use it now?'
The power of observation once possessed by a demon named Astarot.
Since it was a powerful Force, Kang Yu was unable to use it before, but it was now worth a try to use it again.
— Well... — Kang Yu check how many units of Magi are available. Thanks to Dok Hyun's ritual, Kang Yu has over 50 units available.
'But it should be over 50.' Because, with the rise in rank, the sealing strength of Man Ma Jung was weakened. That was why his strength was many times greater than 50.
"I think it should work." Kang Yu nodded and stepped further into the forest.
When he went far enough, he touched the ground with his hand and used the Power of the Observation.
The power that came out of his hands like a thread of ants began to spread on the ground.
From the information coming into his head, he frowned.
'This kind of 'search' was astonishing, but there was one drawback.
'Too much information.' The closer the source of the information, the easier it is to understand, and the farther it is, the faster it gets into its head and the harder it is to understand.
In Hell, he used this power along with Strength that increased the speed of perception, but here it would be a waste of Magi.
— Ahhhh! — His head is starting to heat up.
He started to choke like he was drowning.
Just as he thought it would be too difficult to keep using Strength, he discovered the existence of a powerful being.
'Finded.' Kang Yu's eyes sparkled.
He felt a strong power different from ordinary monsters.
"There are many of them." Since he was the boss, he was surrounded by many trolls and orcs.
Like Hobgoblin, he was always surrounded by small monsters.
'Hmm.' Kang Yu narrowed his eyes and heard the voices of the Players.
It was a big party made on his encouragement.
"I can use it." That was what Kang Yu was thinking as he headed towards that troll boss.
"First, we need to get their attention." Then Kang Yu could scout and watch the fight between the Players and the boss. And then, as they fought with all their might, Kang Yu was able to go behind and attack.
'How can I get their attention?' Kang Yu, after seeing the trolls with sticks in hand guarding their heads, raised one hand.
[The Power of the Dark Spear]
The power of a demon named Roy.
In Kang Yu's hand, a two-meter-long spear made of Magi appeared, which he threw right at the boss.
The spear must have pierced his heart.
'Good, now we have to persuade him closer to the Players.' Kang Yu stepped towards the boss.
That's when the notifications started coming in.
[You managed to destroy a Level B boss]
[To kill the boss, you get extra experience points]
[You're in first position for the murder of a demon. Three times experience points]
[Level increased 4 units]
— Hah? – Kang Yu looked at the battlefield in confusion.
The boss with a spear stuck in his chest lay on the ground, wailing with his eyes closed and his limbs twitching.
— Did he.... die in one blow?
