VRMMO | Terris Story: Someone "Them"

08:B.Basmael Forest, Alpha

In Terris, there are several ways to obtain Drop Items or items obtained after defeating enemies.

One of them is the Instant way where the player only needs to approach the corpse of the enemy and knock it. That way, a confirmation panel will appear. And after pressing the existing button, the corpse automatically disappeared, changing with Drop Items.

Simply save time, but certainly with some shortcomings; Drops are obtained less and also random with a percentage of possibilities to appear.

While another way is to use a Skill like Dismatling. With that Skill, players manually retrieved Drop Items from the corpses of the enemies. Use certain tools and start working according to the instructions provided by the system.

This method is certainly troublesome under certain conditions, but the Drop Items obtained will increase quite a lot. Unfortunately, Level Mastery and Dexterity were urgently needed to obtain Drop Items in good condition, which was currently making most players become frustrated from ending up damaging Drop Items.

As for the other options to carry the intact corpse and ask the Terrian people with high Skills to do Dismantling, that was obviously not free.

. . .

In the Basmael forest, Alice crouched down and knocked on the corpse of the wolf she had previously killed. After all, none of them possessed Dismantling Skills.

Instantly, the corpse before him decomposed into particles and left behind its skull and fangs. Alice immediately took the fangs and put them in the bag. He needed it for Bill's Quest.

[Forest Wolf Fang ×1 Get!]

[Quest :

Taring Forest Wolf: 1/5]

Afterwards, the girl lifted the wolf skull before her, examining the thing.

[Forest Wolf Skull ×1 Get!]

He only realized that the wolf they fought had a larger size than the wolf in the real world, as well as the skull.

"Heh, this is pretty cool, right?" he said, glancing at Elcia.

Elcia herself looked at the skull with an interested look, nodding in response to Alice.

...[.Items Details]...

Common — Forest Wolf Skull

Status: Normal

Type: Material

Durability: 100%

Defense :3

The skull belonged to a Forest Wolf. Can be used to protect the head.

...————...

Alice showed shining eyes looking at the details and directly put the skull on her head.

The upper snout of the wolf's skull extends forward with pointed teeth and one fang sticking down. Alice's face was seen coming out of the mouth of her skull and clamped down on her lower jaw, well attached. It was enough to make him leave a creepy impression when seen.

The rabbit in Elcia's arms fell silent in fear, making the two girls laugh sweetly.

"How's it?" tanyakanya.

"Pretty good, I guess?" elcia commented with a visible smile.

Bad, both of them are too careless and forget about the dangers of the Basmael forest. And at a time like this, the forest shows its hidden fangs.

Aaouu. . !

—Aouuu. . !

The howls were earthy and echoed in the silent forest, a group of wolves.

The rabbit in Elcia's hand jumped and entered the Waist Bag of the girl, hiding. Meanwhile, the two exchanged looks with tense faces.

"Run!" alice said frantically, pulling Elcia's hand and darting between the trees.

The drap! The drap! The drap! The drap!

their Halfling legs stepped nimbly while wolf howls were still heard. In her current state, Elcia had finally started thinking of improving her Agility.

Unfortunately, with their Agility even now with the Halfling Walker Skill, the wolves were still running faster.

A wolf suddenly jumped from behind the trees, aiming for Alice who did not see it.

Elcia quickly pushed Alice down and made her fall, preventing the girl from falling. But instead, he was in danger. Alice who saw him was shocked.

"Linnie!" he screamed, panicking too much.

At that critical moment, Elcia raised the shield in her right hand as quickly as possible.

"Aegis!"

Under the shadow of the trees, his shield flashed, as if responding to the call of the girl. And instantly, a thin transparent wall was formed.

Dang!

—Kaing?!

[Perfect Defense!]

The unfortunate Forest Wolf ended up hitting Elcia's shield violently, giving the creature a brief Stun effect.

A slash! A slash!

The two attack lines regarding Forest Wolf were perfectly. Different from Bill who was a Halfling full of experience, Forest Wolf was just a beast.

The wolf received Alice's two slashes. However, it was not enough to kill him. Just making the creature run backwards with a groan of pain.

Even so, one after another wolves finally appeared and surrounded them from all directions. It makes things more difficult for both. And almost without pause, another wolf came pouncing with its muzzle wide open.

Elcia acted immediately. "Aegis."

Dang!

[Perfect Defense!]

Once again, Elcia blocked the attack that came with the Rune Shield in her hands. And followed a slash from Alice —While the only attack skill belonging to the girl was still in Cooldown condition.

A slash!

—Kaing!

The two started to stand on each other's backs, not going to let an attack in. Don't let it happen, or both will be over.

Grrp. . .

Low grunts are heard. The wolves circled the two beyond the reach of their swords, looking for a gap to pounce on. While the two girls glanced at each corner with full vigilance.

A few minutes passed without anyone attacking. The situation immediately entered the state of Stalemate; without a way out and enough to make Alice and Elcia mentally exhausted.

Presumably the patience of the Forest Wolf group had reached its limit and turned actively attacking the two.

"Aegis!"

"Phantasmal Slash!"

A simple but effective combination, despite depleting the supply of Mana Potion both quickly. None of the attacks entered after so long, the two turned around to finish off the group of Forest Wolf one by one.

[Quest :

Forest Wolf killed: 2/5]

[Quest :

Forest Wolf killed: 3/5]

[Quest :

Forest Wolf killed: 4/5]

"God." Alice finally put on a grin after seeing the only remaining two Forest Wolfs. The wolves were not as difficult as in his shadow.

However, as if Sekai Shard's party threw a joke, something unexpected appeared out of nowhere.

Another wolf.

However, the body of the wolf was almost twice as large. Decorated with a white line between the ears that extends to the tip of the tail. And on top of the creature, the writing in bold red is clearly visible.

[The Forest Wolf Alpha]

Alpha. The strongest wolf as well as the leader of the Forest Wolf herd.

The Forest Wolf Alpha walked up to one of the corpses of the herd, sniffing for a moment before staring at Alice's Long Sword.

Grrr. . .

Alice gulped, beginning to regret for underestimating things too quickly.

Aaouu. . !

That howl was heard echoing throughout the forest. The two of them immediately goosebumps, staring full of horror at a Beast before them. Simultaneously, a notification that appeared suddenly resulted in Elcia's face turning paler.

[Debuff: Fear]

[You are drowning in fear! The speed of movement is decreasing!]

[Debuff: Terror]

[You saw a terrible terror! Your stamina is drastically reduced!]

[Debuff: Trauma]

[You've been traumatized! Your body refuses to move!]

[You've been traumatized! Your body has lost its power!]

About [Fatal Damage] & [Perfect Defense]

Fatal damage is a special condition that is triggered when an attack hits a certain point. In addition to providing increased Damage, Fatal Damage causes Debuff or negative effects and is less likely to reduce Health directly drastically.

Perfect Defense is when the damage received is completely blocked without causing damage to the player character and immediately negates some types of Debuff that may be received from the attack. Then, for one second afterwards, the player's attack had a [Counter] effect where it had additional damage.

Perfect Defense itself does not apply to some skills that completely ignore or eliminate damage and can only be done on physical type attacks aimed directly at a player.
