I Returned as an FFF-Class Witch Doctor - Chapter 54
Episode 54
“Hi guys~. This is Damian. It’s my first time seeing you in a video. Today, we’re going to visit the Kirikorum Swamp. For those who haven’t reached level 50 yet, it might be a good hunting ground. Come with me.”
“…What are you doing, master?”
As Damian muttered, Munchchi looked up at Damian with pitiful eyes.
I must have been out of my mind.
Doesn’t he make comments while looking into the air, or does he smile with a pretentious face?
Damian’s appearance was different from his usually vicious appearance, and there was a corner that even people who were unfamiliar with could have a crush on.
Unghunchi was able to feel deeply in his bones that his master was perhaps a greater human being than he thought.
“hey. I’m not doing this to feed you.”
“What are you talking about, master?”
“See here? People in the other world are watching us through this point now.”
“Pia? You mean the world where the owner lives?”
“Is that so?”
In short, this incarnation of mad capitalism was perfectly carrying out the streamer contract it had signed with Wiz Entertainment while throwing up the spirit of selling even the bundles of its own summons.
“Did you say three times a week…”
Damian stroked his chin as he passed the ridge of the mountains in the southern part of Terra Kingdom.
It was the contents of the contract that Wiz Entertainment’s team manager Jeong Seong-hun had explained to him.
Instead of offering him an astronomical amount, the very thing I mentioned as if it was nothing.
“You can upload about three videos a week. It’s better if you stream together.”
“How much time do you need to fill?”
“In the case of partner streamers, the standard is usually more than 30 hours a week, but for those who signed an exclusive contract like Jinseong, 40 hours a week is recommended. We are doing it. Of course, it’s not compulsory.”
“I have to work very hard.”
“We also promise the highest level of treatment and support. Jinseong-nim’s brand value is by no means small.”
And that included qualifications as an exclusive streamer for Wiz Entertainment, live streaming for 40 hours a week, and Otube content upload three times a week.
It was a very difficult number unless you were a full-time creator.
Of course, in order for an individual to qualify for < Partner Streamer > without being involved in MCN management, they had to have cumulative streaming time of at least 40 hours a week for at least 6 months.
Among countless streamers, I had to appeal to the platform for the channel’s characteristics and prospects, so I could say I was a nobleman.
Considering that Switch’s partner streamers receive various benefits, including commissions, and benefits comparable to those of large corporations, it is not wrong to say that Jinsung’s exclusive contract is a star in the sky.
In such a yard, Jinseong making a bad sound of pain was to deceive many streamers.
“The Kirikorum Swamp is much easier to find if you pick up a map from the Adventurer’s Guild or Kingdom Academy. It’s easy to fall southeast along the leyline of the Gais Great Mountains, also known as the “Roof of the Continent,” but if you circle the leyline and go back to the other side, you’ll find the gloomy swamps to the northwest. Going to the Great Mountains of Agais is suicidal. You know?”
Cheek!
Turning the camera, Damian said as he ran up the mountain at high speed.
It was a common sense comment.
The Gais Mountain Range, called the < Roof of the Continent > and rising right in the middle of the Arsia Continent, is a place where most people cannot even set foot due to its rugged mountains and bad weather.
It could be said that it is common sense that is unmistakably applied to the AC of the previous life as well as now, not so long after the game was serviced.
It was a realm of agitation and fabrication, where all sorts of speculations and rumors were rampant.
The reason why it has been called a sanctuary and a forbidden place by continental people since ancient times.
It was also because the Gais Mountains were so huge that they occupied one-eighth of the continent, and the more you went into the center, the more terrain and monsters that surpassed common sense.
No matter how many different dungeons and monsters appeared and were discovered, the Great Mountains of Gais was always considered one of the most dangerous places in the Arsia continent.
“You bastard… how far are you going… the bunch is scary…”
Tender!
So, even though it was only going down along the leyline, Damian pulled the wad of shivering dainty hair into his arms, as if feeling a tingle.
‘I even confirmed that there is a dragon’s nest.’
As he looked up at the Great Mountains of Gais and lost his thoughts, there was also a nest of an ancient dragon that had lived for thousands of years somewhere under the roof of the continent.
“don’t worry. I’m not going to a scary place.”
“Really, master…?”
“then. Much better than there.”
Damian landed on the floor, scratching the trembling wad.
It was definitely a sharper atmosphere.
Even though the wind blows softly and the sun has not yet set, the valley embraces thick darkness everywhere.
[Notice: New location information has been updated!]
[Current location: Kirikorum Swamp]
[Notice: World map information has been updated!]
“Finally arrived.”
Tring!
Then, checking the system window that appeared in front of his eyes, Damian pointed his finger at the bog, a vast landscape where thousands of trees seemed to be intertwined.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a field that is not often visited by people even on the continent of Arcia, where numerous dungeons and hunting grounds exist, and that there are no people looking for level-up.
It was “The Kirikorum Swamp”.
“This is the Kirikorum Swamp. There is a way to come across the leyline like I did, but I don’t recommend it. Those who are not familiar with geography may get lost and get a game over, so it would be easier to come by the method I mentioned at the beginning.”
“Pia? Did the owner take a shortcut?”
“of course. Even if I can’t come back, it will take three more days. Although that is safer.”
Damian turned his head in response to Mungchi’s words.
It was a quiet wetland surrounded by silence.
A place where dozens of large and small landforms rise like islands on both sides of the waterway that goes back to the east.
“As you can see, it’s quiet, isn’t it? Most of the people who come here can’t figure out how to move, but in fact, if you solve that problem, there’s no hunting ground like here.”
And after Damian stepped on a clear cow like a mirror, he climbed several trees and reefs as if he were eating the ground.
Looking for a place that seemed to be relatively shallow, I started moving quickly into the swamp.
“Isn’t the owner falling for you! It looks so deep!”
“are you okay. It is an optical illusion.”
Click!
The bottom of the swamp beneath the water, which seemed to be submerged up to the waist at any moment, only made Damian’s ankles submerged.
“The water in Kirikorum Swamp has a different refractive index than normal lakes. It could be a systemic error or it could be unique to this field. Whatever the reason, the important thing is that if you know the route well, it’s not at all difficult to wander all over the swamp.”
Damian raised his index finger while looking at the translucent camera dot.
Even in the midst of that, his steps were in the middle of restless.
As if he had all the topography of the Kirikorum swamp in his head, Damian ran through the swamp without hesitation, stepping on the water that didn’t look shallow at all.
Unlike Damian, the reason people didn’t go to the Kirikorum Swamp was that they had to go around the leyline of the Gais Great Mountains, which was a big factor, but even if they knew the location of the shortcut, they couldn’t go around easily.
It was a bonus that no matter which kingdom you started the game in, the location was not very close.
It wasn’t a place that boasted great merits enough to spend time and effort to find, and there was no need to face a death penalty by being logged out if you made a mistake.
The topographical problem Damian mentioned was the second.
Even though Fabre Forest was a hidden street, there were plenty of reasons to visit, but this dreary swamp area didn’t have any general-purpose items that anyone wanted to farm.
It was because the level of the monsters that inhabited it was quite high to the extent that a smooth hunt was possible only if you were at least level 40.
And besides…
“…There are cases where monsters suddenly pop out like this, so be careful.”
“Kwalalalarak—!!!”
Chew!
While avoiding the reptile that rose from behind him, Damian continued his broadcast by kicking the creature’s stomach skin once.
It was as if an extra eye was running on the back of his head.
A monster with a savage personality, with an elongated body of about 2 meters, armor-like scales, and a tearing mouth with vertically slit pupils.
It was “The Swamp Alligator.”
[Swamp Alligator]
A crocodile that lives in Kirikorum Swamp. The triple-layered jaw muscles and teeth are powerful enough to helplessly drag even most predatory beasts into it. Rarely for a crocodile, it has a protective coloration and is able to submerge without making a ripple in the swamp.
Race: Beast
Type: Normal
Level: 40
Special Notes: This monster has the ability to fully assimilate to its surroundings when underwater, so be careful!
“How come you guys are not progressing… Oh no. It’s our first meeting.”
“Crock!”
Damian bent down as he checked the monster information window floating in front of him.
It happened at the same time that he lowered the dagger he held in reverse at the < Swamp Alligator > that was rushing towards him.
< +9 Sashimi > boasts horrendous damage that instantly raised gold coins, the owner of the rare class Kunoichi, to the ranks of the tempest!
“As expected, the old palace is the famous palace.”
“Keew!”
Eventually, as the scales of the swamp alligator split in one stroke, Damian smiled as he looked down at the < +9 Sashimi >.
It was a crazy weapon no matter how you look at it.
He had no choice but to continue fighting with the taijutsu he remembered, blowing poisonous needles with a blowgun.
Damian had been able to enjoy the benefits of < +9 Sashimi > while roaming the Caliph Mountains.
It was no exaggeration to say that he was a filial son who was able to reduce numerous gaps and penalties.
< +9 Sashimi > is a weapon that kills all monsters and users, and it boasts good synergy with Damian’s taijutsu, which can be said to be so sophisticated that it is mechanical.
It was because Damian could easily split the scales of a swamp alligator, as if cutting tofu, despite the fact that the swamp alligator had defense power comparable to that of heavy armor.
“What does crocodile sashimi taste like?”
Whoa!
Before long, Damian’s < Corruption Potion > exploded.
“Croak?!”
The swamp alligator gasped in bewilderment as the explosion exploded right in front of his eyes.
It was a bonus that it suddenly became raw fish.
Aside from struggling with Damian’s < Corruption Potion > thrown at him, Damian’s new type rushes at the same time!
[Witch doctor]
[Bloodlust]
“You die.”
“…!”
And Damian, while the swamp alligator fell into the < Corruption Potion > for a while, burrowed through the haze of the < Corruption Potion > and scattered a red aura.
It was an eerie cutting sound.
[Notice: The Swamp Alligator has been killed!]
[Notification: EXP has been obtained!]
“Kkeek.”
cooong!
As Damian swung < +9 Sashimi >, the swamp alligator let out a shriek.
It was an effortless movement.
The moment the Swamp Alligator found Damian, Damian ovulated Swamp Alligator’s body.
Literally, the raw swamp alligator had to gain a handful of experience points without even being able to counterattack.
“You can hunt like this. How easy is it?”
Fuck!
And the moment Damien shrugged his shoulders once, raising the corner of his mouth toward the camera that was recording…
‘The owner is a deceiver… are you saying that?’
Shaking my head!
The mogchi who were watching him shook their heads in resignation while they began to shoot and fly towards the place where the swamp alligator died.
It was a human-like comment that was so rotten that it was not worth it.
