Closed Beta That Only I Played Chapter 343
Advertisement
I had no choice but to be skeptical about it because the restrictions included both buffs and debuffs. In other words, if I set the restrictions at 10%, the 10% combat power decrease was the debuff, while the 30% increase in coin drop frequency and dropped coins were the buffs.
However, I had some expectations because of what was clearly written in the initial message.
[You are affected by debuff restrictions]
That message rang whenever I moved out of the safety zone.
In other words, the system defined the restrictions as debuffs.
Of course, my trait was not 'All Debuffs', but 'All Buffs, All Debuffs'.
So I thought that maybe I might not make use of the restrictions at all, which would be the worst case scenario for me. In that case, I would have no choice but to helplessly watch others collecting at least 30% or more coins because I would not be able to sue debuffs like them.
Because of my trait, 'All Buffs, All Debuffs', however, I would still receive the increased drop frequency and number of coins while the drop in my combat power disappeared.
I trembled a bit at that because I didn't know the debuffs were called restrictions from the beginning.
"By the way, if the coin drop frequency and dropped coins increase by 270% more than others..."
That would mean I would obtain four coins or more when others got only one, because not only the number of dropped coins, but also the coin drop frequency would increase.
"Hahaha!"
I had no choice but to laugh for a long time before I knew it.
Then I stopped because I could laugh later after I won first place at the end of this week.
A little later, I stepped out of the safety zone proudly. Only after using Blink twice did I encounter monsters.
When I saw the monsters for the first time, only one thing came to my mind.

Just as the surrounding environment did not fit the image of the Garden of the Gods, the monsters did not fit it either. The monsters that appeared before my eyes had the top layer of their skin peeled off, exposing the reddish epidermis underneath. And pus-like mucus was leaking through the epidermis. Besides, their faces were rough, and they had one or two horns on their foreheads.
"Oh my...well this place is more like Hell or Chimera Habitat rather than the Garden of the Gods."
The surrounding environment and monsters were such a contrast to the image that the name Garden of the Gods evoked.
At that moment, a monster that noticed me charged at me ferociously.
[Koooooooh!]
So I pulled back slightly and lured it toward me.
It was not because I was afraid of it, but I needed to at least check how strong this monster was and whether it was suitable for herd hunting since it was the first monster I encountered here.
When the nearly four-meter-tall monster came up to me and brandished it's clube at me, I didn't avoid it.
Bang!
"…"
The monster's club slammed right into my right shoulder with a fairly big noise.
But it wasn't strong enough to make me scream in pain.
Of course, it was definitely a strong blow to the extent that it ranked among the highest level of blows I had suffered until now. But I didn't feel intimidated at all.
"Hey, don't you think you have underestimated me too much?"
Obviously, I was given this hunting ground by the system because it befitted my level.
The monster's damage was obviously big, but not enough to make me feel that I had to tread very carefully in this place. Besides, only one monster appeared.
I didn't know if I could be put in a dangerous situation when a herd of monsters charged at me while I was doing herd hunting.

But it would not bother me even if that happened because I had the powerful Blink with zero cooldown, which was not just a showpiece.
Anyway, this was the first time I was attacked by a monster in this hunting ground.
So, I immediately struck back.
"Ice Spear! Multiple Ice Arrows!"
Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!
First of all, I used my single-target skills. Of course, these skills were dime a dozen for ice-type wizards like me, so I didn't expect much, but what I used this time was clearly different from what others used.
In fact, my single-target skills could inflict fatal damage to the monsters in the level 1500 hunting ground Land of Titan.
But this was a level 2700 hunting ground, so the monster didn't even groan at my attack. Rather, it readily responded to my attacks, and swung its club at me. Rather, he readily responded to my attacks, then kept swinging the club at me.
"Alright. You are a good fit for this level 2700 hunting ground."
I wasn't startled, nor did I frown at its attacks.
If I had suffered a lot of damage in this situation, I would have been rather disappointed with myself. So, this time I started another offense.
"Ice Field! Multiple Thin Ice!"
Passasak!
"Ice Tornado! Pouring Hail!"
Patter- Patter-
At that moment, Ice Tornado created a huge gust of wind that started buffeting the monster.
Of course, the monster struggled to keep its footing as the gust swept it.
However, although the monster made a deep furrow in the ground in its struggle, it still was eventually sucked up by the gust. As a result, it was devastated by Ice Tornado and Pouring Hail helplessly.
A little later.
[Kheeeeeeeek!]
Flop!
The monster collapsed helplessly.
"Um… am I too strong or are they too weak?"
In the end, although it took a little longer, the level 2700 monster was killed in the same way as those monsters in the level 1500 hunting ground Land of Titan.
Of course, these days, I didn't even use Ice Field or Thin Ice because I could hunt the monsters using only Blink or Ice Tornado.
Anyway, I scrutinized the place where the monster fell, but I had no choice but to smack my lips when I found no dropped coins although I had a 270% higher chance of acquiring coins.
At that moment, something alarming started taking place before my eyes.
Swoosh-
Obviously, the monster was dead. It did not simply faint or fall.
I wasn't stupid enough not to tell the difference between dead and alive.
Then a message rang.
[The Cursed Kin of Abyss has resurrected.
-The combat power of the Cursed Kin of Abyss has increased by 50%.
-The health of the Cursed Kin of Abyss has increased by 50%.]
"Hmm."
Of course, the resurrection itself wasn't a big deal because all users including me could die and resurrect countless times, even though they had a death penalty. Most recently, Jihye Suh was resurrected even in real life because she was subordinated to North Korea's leader Yuljung Kim.
But the problem right now was that this monster was not the only one who could be resurrected.
In other words, I felt all the monsters that I would encounter afterward would be able to resurrect the same way. In fact, this monster was truly resurrected, truly befitting why the system labeled this place as a level 2700 hunting ground.
"Alright. That's why they call this a level 2700 hunting ground!"
