NOVEL WEB Chapter 15
Episode 15
“Mr. Park? How do you explain that?”
“…….”
Even the learned Mr. Park could not have predicted such a case.
He could guess that the blessings of the demigods and the Holy Ghost were great, but he couldn’t figure out the specifics.
Even though the operator was a god, demons and good gods could be equally involved in Middle-earth. Of course… they wouldn’t be able to do much damage, since the default system was set up to protect Middle-earth, but they would still be able to exert a great deal of influence.
“There’s something you don’t know. Hmm, does Diablo’s Blessing amplify magic in times of danger?”
“I could see it that way, but I can only assume there are other ancillary cases.”
“……?”
“The objective diffeReneece between the old Hellstorm and Diablo’s Hellstorm is the diffeReneece between having ‘Diablo’ and not having it. Hypothetical, of course.”
“…….”
The president could not help but be disappointed in Mr. Park.
“You think that makes sense? Phew, common sense.”
Nonsense. It doesn’t matter if Diablo sticks or not. He’d rather be right. Diablo is there to help you in times of trouble. Isn’t that more plausible?
But Park couldn’t take his eyes off the monitor. He couldn’t take his eyes off the monitor.
* * *
Seeing the giant’s skin half shriveled up, I started to gag. The sight was too gruesome and harmful for a man of my tender (?) heart. I mentally cursed the operator and wanted it over with.
“Hell Storm!”
A helpless Hellstorm, unlike Nara. It seemed to have energized them.
“That’s right. A fire elemental giant of extreme fire. You said it could charge its power with fire…….’
However, the giant from earlier was even melted by my Hell Storm. That meant that it would be damaged by powerful fire magic… but unlike Dara, the Hell Storm generated something powerless.
‘Hmph. The diffeReneece between Nara and me is that I’m a little more relaxed, and… Oh, right! You called it Diablo’s Hell Storm?’
I shook my head in denial, denying that I could have given such a childish blessing. But as I looked at the approaching Frostfire Giant, I was forced to see the consequences of my assumption.
It’s the last resort I have… …….
“Diablo’s Hellstorm!”
* * *
“Isn’t that right!”
Mr. Park said, seeing that his guess was correct. It was obvious. By labeling it ‘Diablo’s’, rather than dangerous, the Fire Giant had melted.
Killing a fire giant monster with fire is something even the most magically savvy Wizards are reluctant to do. Ice and fire are the best options, and fire is never used.
“…….”
Ridiculous. Anything with the “Diablo” label on it should do at least four times as much magic damage.
Diablo’s blessing is thus revealed.
You won’t be able to learn Meteo Rain, the ultimate Middle-earth spell because it comes with the prerequisite of only being able to use black magic, but black magic does have Eternal Death. What if Diablo’s Eternal Death existed?
‘Hmph~! Why would you give that asshole…….’
The president feels like crying. But maybe it’s something to laugh about.
“That’s right. That’s how human servers get stronger!”
There are five presidents under the chairman. Human Server, Orc Server, Dark Elf Server, Elf Server, and Dwarf Server. Each is in charge of one server in total.
They are forced to compete against each other in “the” event of the day. The winning server will receive a special bonus and two weeks of vacation.
The overworked bosses will risk their lives to improve their servers. Human servers are the most vulnerable. Surprisingly, there are too few users and the sticky layer is too thin.
Humans are not a weak race by any means. On the contrary, they have a lot of potential for development, but few users realize it.
As a boss, it’s very frustrating. I can’t even tell them.
So I finally asked the president to organize a human server month event. It will increase the number of advanced players and users. During the event, levels will go up faster and there will be better items dropped.
However, the gap with other servers will only be slightly reduced. The rest is up to the bosses. KaRenee might even be able to do herself some good.
‘Level 100 in two days, level 102 on only the fourth day, did I miss something else? Oh yes… the first user with the blessing of the gods.
KaRenee… the chances of him becoming an important user are getting too high.
* * *
“…….”
“…….”
KaRenee was staring at Renee without any change in expression, and Renee was also staring at him at a loss for words.
He had killed a fire elemental monster with fire elemental magic. Not just one, but twenty of them.
I’d be less surprised if he was a Two-Master, but he’s a Sword Master. A level 102 swordsman with no magic, and he easily killed the Flame Giant without a sword.
“Is there anything else I should be surprised about?
“Is the volcano core next?”
“…Ah, yes.”
Renee quickly ran his hands through his hair to focus his mind. He mustn’t be distracted. From now on, the center of the volcano is full of monsters that are dangerous even to themselves. He must be careful.
“Fire Elemental, Magma Knight, Fire Spirit.”
KaRenee was mesmerized. An average of 200 monsters, so strong.
“Level 200 monsters least a few thousand=death for me and Renee.
There were at least two hundred monsters, and probably more than a thousand. Renee had to seriously consider whether he was going to kill all of them.
When he looked at Renee, she was staring at the monsters as well.
“Phew, Renee, do you have a plan?”
“…….”
Renee hadn’t expected this either. From what she had heard, the other operators had said that there were no more than twenty high-level monsters in the center, but now there seemed to be at least ten times that number. Presumably, the number of monsters would continue to increase.
“Should we go back?”
I asked cautiously, noting the seriousness of her expression, which told me that she was offended, which was not what I had expected. “No,” she said firmly.
“No. I’ll try… as far as I can, after all, hitting one monster doesn’t mean all two hundred of them will attack.”
I was a little scared, but with Diablo’s magic, I knew it wouldn’t matter because the monsters were separated by a bit of distance, so I figured I’d kill them in groups of ten.
Did I ever say I didn’t care? No, I didn’t. Me and Renee are scared to death.
I had Diablo’s Hell Storm ready from the start, and the High Angel, Darkdemon, and Renee also had their spells ready and cast at the same time.
I hit the monsters in groups of 10, but when I looked around, I saw other Fire Elementals, Spirits, and even a Magma Knight chasing us.
Renee and I ran so fast that our feet were on fire (me) and flew (Renee).
I looked behind me and saw an army of 200 in pursuit. I use the Return Scroll, but it looks like I’m going to die before I can tear it up… then I have to run to the Waypoint, which has a lower delay, and that will take at least an hour.
“Holy shit! Diablo’s Hellstorm!”
I cast Hell Storm, the one with the lowest delay. A powerful vortex formed, but they only flinched slightly.
“Ebony! I can’t die like this! Please, please, please, please save me, the most awesome, ultra-capuchon-chan, awesome Diablo in this world!
* * *
“…Chief Park. Do you know what that means?”
“…….”
Mr. Park didn’t answer again, and the erudite Mr. Park was becoming more and more stumped by the day. KaRenee is a user who never fails to surprise.
“Phew, isn’t it true that the more flattering modifiers you add, the stronger the magic?”
“…….”
The silence implied that it probably was.
* * *
“……!”
It was a surprising situation. The Hell Storm was no longer the Hell Storm it once was, but more like a Hell Hurricane. It didn’t kill any of them, of course, but it did buy us enough time to tear open the return scroll, and Renee and I made it home safely.
* * *
“Hey… did you see that?”
“Yeah.”
The two of them had been hunting on the ancient island since the beginning. Being adventurers, they stumbled upon the ancient island by accident.
They preferred it because it was a place where they could level well and there were no fights, but when they saw a player they hadn’t seen in a while (honestly, it was Renee…….), they snuck up on him and spied on him.
The female player, who seemed to be a bit higher in level, and the male player, who seemed to have just become a Sword Master, were reckless enough to come here alone.
The two of them had already surpassed the Two-Master level, and they had almost died here many times.
Even if the female players are Two-Masters, they are still Clerics and Necromancers. The warrior class is barely a swordmaster.
They watched them hunt, intent on eating the items they left behind when they died.
The female players were more skillful than I expected. But the male user was a poor Sword Master. Why they were recklessly going to the center of the volcano was beyond me.
The monsters here are all fire elementals and have a strong sense of kinship, so if you hit one monster, all the monsters in the vicinity will gather. Unbeknownst to the female user, they ended up being chased by more than 200 monsters,
They waited for the male and female players to die quickly. I didn’t think it was worth the effort, since the male and female players’ items were pretty expensive.
However, the male user almost pulled off a miracle. The subject of the test had learned magic, and its power was like that of a Two-Master.
“Is it possible?”
“I’m thinking the same thing!”
Yes, it is. It is impossible.
“Can the impossible be realized?”
“No.”
“Then why is it possible?”
“I’m just as crazy as you are! Don’t ask me stupid questions.”
It is. How it’s possible, we don’t know. Impossible is impossible, but it’s not impossible because there are users who have done it. But how they did it, we don’t know.
He is a warrior and a sword master. He hasn’t touched magic, so his stReneegth and HP are unparalleled. Of course, his agility is also high, so his movement speed and hit rate are quite high.
But that user hasn’t even used a sword once, and he’s cut more than half of those monsters’ blood with magic alone.
“It’s not fair.
He’s a lower level than you, and yet he’s so proficient with magic. He hasn’t even touched magic himself. The shock of a colleague who has traveled the magical path will be slightly diffeReneet than yours.
He’s a Wizard Master, a Wizard Master. He can cast spells five times as powerful as yours. But he’s level 110 on the high side. Your friend is level 218. Does it make sense that the damage is similar?
‘I’m a two-master in a magic-based class! He’s a swordsman and a top-notch lawyer. Hmmm, suspicious.’
I can’t help but feel jealous.
“Shall we go after him?”
“Sure.”
