THE REALM OF MYTH AND LEGEND
willowed forest's
As soon as the system warning goes off, Mick, Ryder, and Tina look at each other as if they understand. A condescending grin appeared on all their faces. Now that they were no longer in the safe zone, this noob Combat Master had only one of two options: obey or die.
They understood the situation very well even though if they caused a commotion near the beginning of the forest, there was still a small chance he could escape. But more importantly, it might catch the attention of others. If some of the larger guilds were involved after knowing this noob had a rare weapon, it could become extremely ugly and they would not even have a place to comment.
Although rare weapons were not the strongest weapons, possessing a weapon as early as this could give top players a huge advantage over others. They will be able to clear monsters and level up faster and get the first cleanup for dungeons and bosses! Imagine the potential of rare weapons at this stage of the game, almost cheating! One should know that even unusual weapons are very difficult to find at this stage.
Weapons and pieces of armor are equally in this game having seven total ranks: Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, Legendary, Unique, and Divine. So people would go crazy if they found a noob carrying such a precious treasure!
In fact, that noob could even offer it to a large guild and make a fortune while taking revenge on them for trying to attack him! This thought gave Mick a goosebumpy back, but he remained calm. The plan was simple, lure him deep into the forest and then when his guard comes down, that's when they'll make their move!
Izroth shook his head in his mind, these people are the most amateur. They don't even know how to hide their intentions and believe he's just a gullible noob, though it's true that Izroth has never played a video game before, he said, he absorbed the soul of a hardcore gamer and had actual fighting experience for thousands of years. ! If he claimed to be the second best warrior in this world with his lack of spiritual essence, then no one would dare to claim to be the first!
Shortly after entering into the forest some bushes about 5 meters in front of the troupe were shaken. Suddenly Mick has a serious problem on his face and becomes alert, slowly taking out his sword and shield while taking the frontmost position as a tank.
A deep shriek came from within the bushes as something rushed out at high speed towards the group!
"Squeeeeeeal! Grrr ...!"
"That****forest! Not just a wild beast, it's**** demon forest monster!" Mick was a little surprised to meet such an aggressive monster so quickly. But he still gritted his teeth and held his strength against that demonic boar!
Izroth quietly observed the **** forest from behind, he looked not surprised and quite calm while looking at the three people in front of him fighting over the position. They didn't even try to communicate with him because they thought he would be useless and at any cost. After all, he was merely a Combat Master who might not even have any useful skills.

Mick didn't manage to lift his shield in time, the accusation was too sudden! He was suddenly thrown backwards and became unable to move before a portion of his HP dropped!
188 HP's!
262/450 HP Remaining! (Mick)
"Quick use Cure!" Mick said in a panic, he had lost a lot of HP from just that surprise attack! **** the forest has a very high ATK for its level and he didn't even get a chance to block!
Tina quickly nodded her head, "Cure!" A light green light surrounded Mick's body, he felt a warmth overwhelm him.

Mick still had 1 second before he could move again, but just as he was about to get out of his stunned state, the demon piggy bank smashed his tusks right into Mick!
-88 HP!
224/450 HP Remaining! (Mick)
Honestly Mick felt like crying at this moment,***dumb demon forest gave him so much trouble because he was too excited to get his hands on such a rare and careless new piece of equipment!
The demon finally lifted up and in a fit of rage, Mick swung his sword at the ****wooden forest that hit his side!
-30 HP!
470/500 HP Remaining! (Demonics Boar)
Ryder does not let this opportunity pass her by, she is waiting for the right opportunity to attack the **** of the forest, hitting it from behind with a dagger using the Backstab ability of ********! Ding!

Critical Attack! It managed to stab back!

400/500 HP Remaining! (Demonics Boar)
As soon as his attack struck, Ryder quickly retreated to the side and did not follow up with another attack. After all, Mick still doesn't have full aggro control over the **** demon forest. This meant that if he accidentally did too much damage, it would distract him from it. While he was somewhat confident in his ability to dodge,***that demon could almost shoot him if it used the Charge ability!
He glared at Izroth coldly before losing his composure for a moment and shouted at him, "If you won't be of any use, then at least don't obstruct the noob!" he was furious at the fact that they met one of the more troublesome demonic monsters in this area so when he found the source to direct his anger, he released it.
Izroth was a little surprised, he had just prepared to lend a helping hand but even before he could pull his weapon he had already been told that he was in the way! Izroth slightly nodded before stepping aside and calmly watching the battle!

After a few minutes, they finally managed to defeat the demon piggy bank without Izroth raising a single finger. This made the other three angry! Several times Mick had nearly died and even had to use his precious HP potion just to stay alive! It cost 1 silver to buy it! Too bad! But, at least with the decline they get, they will be able to regain some losses and even make a small profit.
Mick gritted his teeth as he spoke to Izroth, "You, why aren't you helping ?!" Mick had a grim face as he started heading towards Izroth.
Ryder and Tina's eyes were also fixed on him, they both had equally gloomy faces.
Izroth blinked a few times puzzledly, wasn't it the Ulama who said not to get in the way? Didn't they say that he was a noob and useless? But now they ask why he did not intervene to help? Izroth's heart turned cold as he looked at the three of them, their expressions of disdain and contempt before he could ignore them, but didn't they also try to suppress him and make him feel guilty?
Who her? He is Izroth! The greatest cultivator in the seven realms! Although he was basically humble, he would not constantly allow himself to be looked down upon!
"Isn't that Cleric saying not to get in the way because I'm useless? Why should I help if you think I'm going to get in the way" Izroth coldly glared at Tina.
"You ...!" Tina looked really angry, this brat dared to try and point his finger at her! He was just about to snap at Izroth, a voice sounded beside him.
"Enough!" Mick speaks and Tina doesn't go any further. Even though he was angry at the moment, he knew that they had something precious at stake here and so calmed down.
"It was just a misunderstanding. We are all just a little upset that the battle is over. Right?" Tina and Ryder looked at each other before nodding lightly. Mick had a friendly smile on his face, but his eyes looked cold and cruel. His words sounded like they did not contain the slightest bit of truth in them.
"Come, let's proceed further into the forest. Who knows? We might find a precious treasure there." Mick then begins to divide the loot into three parts to divide between himself, Tina and Ryder. While the demon pigeon was not a boss monster, it was one of the stronger monsters in this area so he dropped a pretty good item.
"Wait a minute, we have to divide everything evenly, after all that's what we agreed on." Suddenly a voice came from behind Mick, Izroth speaking.
Mick, Ryder, and Tina all put on long faces as they tried their best to hold back. First, he did not lift a single finger to help them and now he asked for the reward for standing there ?! Fuck her! Fuck the whole family! So many evil thoughts flashed through their minds at that moment, it was almost impossible to control them.
Mick gritted his teeth while speaking restraining his anger, "Buddy, do you think it's fair to share the loot with you when you don't donate anything?" he tried to intimidate Izroth.
Izroth shook his head, "We had a deal when I first joined, you told me that we would split the loot evenly. You gave me your word so you should respect it." Izroth stood firm with no intimidation at all.
"You ...! You think it-!" As Tina got ready to take the picture, Mick raised his hand and he immediately stopped talking. He knew that Mick was furious at this point. Ryder also coldly looked at Izroth with killing intent, one could tell that he wanted to rush there and attack, but he knew that without Mick giving the order it could destroy everything.
"He's right, I have to respect my words. Get to the last detail." Mick suddenly looked calm, but it was the kind of calmness that hid endless anger. In his book, even if he got the Izroth weapon without any problem. He would still make sure he would suffer from having to swallow this humiliation.
Mick then divides the loot into four equal parts. Although Ryder and Tina look annoyed, there is a smile on Izroth's face as he nods in thanks to Mick. This made them almost want to cough up blood from anger!
Ding! You have earned 20 bronze coins!
Ding! You've got the x1 demonic boar hide! It has been added to your inventory.
"Come, let's proceed further into the forest to find real treasures and experiences." Mick, Ryder, and Tina all begin to move further into the forest as Izroth follows behind them.
A slightly amused smile surfaced on Izroth's lips, "You think you can bother me and not pay the consequences? Hmph, just wait and see your fate in the end" a cold gaze invaded Izroth's eyes. He did not have the slightest feeling of regret for those who would bully him, these people would sooner or later fall under his sword.
...
"HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWL!" a loud shout shook around the central area of the forest!
"T-This boss is so powerful, what is he doing here, in this forest ?!" said one party member in panic. They had met this boss by chance and thought it was the perfect opportunity to obtain some loot, but they knew they could not do it themselves so cooperated with the other party nearby. Even though they had 10 people, they could not defeat this monster!
"Well !!!" a male warrior was swept back with the claws of a gigantic demon wolf instantly dying. It was roughly the size of a school bus on earth, had smooth black feathers, ferocious red eyes gleaming with killing intent, razor-sharp teeth and claws and its movements were almost blurry.
4 People had already died under the attack of this ferocious demon wolf. They did not even have time to respond or react properly!
"group back! As long as we stick together we can-!"
ZOOOM! CRMRPR!
The one who spoke looked dumbfounded, as they felt their entire body hover in the air. They've died. The remaining party members could not help feeling fear. They would all probably die for this terrible boss.
...
Izroth and the others heard a loud howling sound out of nowhere that shocked them. It was the roar of a powerful demonic monster! Judging from how noisy it was, it sounded like people were fighting it!
Mick looked at Ryder and Tina while nodding, "Let's see, even though we can't get anything out of it, it's still good to watch a battle like this. Who knows? We might even get some profit and be able to get a share of the loot. " Mick is not very optimistic about it, but not too far from their current location and it never hurts to see it.
Izroth frowned slightly while remaining behind the group. His hearing was quite sharp thanks to the Heavenly Golden Body technique and the game that allowed gains in real life, of course, this was one of them! He could hear from the movement that at least 6 ... No, now the other 5 people were fighting against something quite big and from the sound of the things it seemed like they were in a state of panic.
"Going there can be deadly if I'm not careful, I've just reached level 3. I don't know how strong that big monster is, but it definitely isn't weak. Well, if things get too bad, I can always use the 'Flickering Steps' to blur out "Izroth thought inwardly as he followed the three of them towards the direction of the sound fight.
When they got there, they hid carefully inside the trees making sure not to be seen, but what they saw greatly shocked them!
"It-it ... This is a massacre ...!" Mick muttered to himself.
Izroth's eyes narrowed as he stared at the scene in front of him ... While sweeping his eyes at that place, something suddenly caught his attention.
