The World-Class Extra’s Walkthrough - Chapter 22
Episode 22:
The Deceived
The gatekeeper was walking briskly into the black market.
He was holding his dual swords and was now feeling quite embarrassed.
It was because of news from inside the black market.
‘That nobleman earlier robbed our side?’
So you have to recover your stake at all costs?
Does this make sense?
All black market dealers are master gamblers and con artists at the same time.
They were experts who would do their best to rob the customers in front of them no matter what the situation, and would eventually rip them off to the core.
‘But what happens in reverse?’
It was a shocking sound.
Of course, such things are not unheard of.
Although it was not a common occurrence, there were occasional cases where gamblers from other regions came forward to rob this area.
And even more rarely, there are those who actually succeed in taking on that bold challenge.
‘Then is he also a gambler?’
It was impossible to tell just by looking at the outside.
But no matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t seem like that would happen at all.
It was the same when I looked at his behavior and his companions, but more than anything….
‘Those eyes.’
A clear and profound light appeared in my eyes.
It was completely different from the crazy people who were so addicted to gambling that they would go after money without hesitation.
Rather, eyes that resemble those of those who are completely opposite to that type.
The gatekeeper knew people with eyes like that.
‘It was similar to the Hyeopsadan guys.’
There are two large organizations in the back alleys of Aurax.
Black society and cooperatives.
Although the two organizations together rule the back alleys of Aurax, they pursue completely different principles of action.
First of all, the ‘black society’ focuses on making dark money through various facilities, including this black market.
These were people who would do anything to make money, even if it was illegal.
In contrast, the ‘Hyupsadan’ did not pursue money.
‘They call themselves righteous enemies.’
Hyeopsadan were people who did not hesitate to take illegal actions for their own justice.
It was an organization whose orientation was 180 degrees different from that of the black society, to the extent that it cooperated with the city guard if necessary.
So, we had no choice but to clash with the black society at every turn.
Just a few days ago, the gangsters attacked illegal bars run by the Black Society and stole money from them.
Recently, there was a rumor going around that the association was lacking funds and equipment.
‘for a moment. no way?’
At that moment, a plausible guess passed through the gatekeeper’s mind.
That noble guy?
‘Could it be that he is a member of the Hyeopsadan bastards?’
First of all, those clear eyes were like that.
The fact that he had targeted this place also fueled the suspicion.
For those who need money and equipment, there is no place more attractive than this black market!
‘I don’t know, so I’ll have to focus on capturing him alive for now!’
The gatekeeper’s steps became faster.
If you catch it alive and bring it to your big brother, you will definitely receive great praise and a reward.
Because the Black Society, which is at odds with the Hyeopsadan at every turn, has a very powerful hand.
‘If I’m good at this, I might be promoted to leadership.’
Imagining a rosy future, the gatekeeper pulled out his double swords.
The next moment, a hallway like an ant cave in a black market unfolds.
“Wow!”
“Hey ya ya ya!”
…Yes?
“Move! Move! “You bastards!”
“Aaaah! Why run away! “I need to help!”
“How can I help you with that!”
…what?
Strange screams were coming towards us from the other side of the hallway.
The moment the embarrassed gatekeeper slowed down.
“What is that?”
The identity of the unknown shout was revealed.
What was rolling around was a tangled ‘pile of people’.
The gatekeeper froze in place.
“…Am I dreaming?”
It was an unbelievable feeling even when I saw it with my own eyes.
Black thugs were rolling around like a snowball, and everyone was shouting together.
“Brother tongue! Please help!”
“These guys used some strange magic!”
Magic?
What kind of magic is this?
But I didn’t have time to think for long.
The human snowball was rolling like crazy from the other side of the hallway towards this exit.
“run!”
“Gaaaaaa!”
Those who had not yet been captured by the snowball were desperately running for their lives.
They shouted back and forth at the gatekeeper who was dumbfounded and stiff.
“older brother! Get out of the way!”
“ok?”
“Move! Get out of the way!”
“Quickly turn around and run! “You bastard!”
In desperation, harsh words and shouting were being thrown out.
‘I’m your older brother!’
But it wasn’t the time to point that out.
The human mass rolled over and came right in front of us in an instant.
The gatekeeper instinctively turned around in front of this hideous and ridiculous creature.
“Wow!”
I started running at full speed along with the other guys.
“older brother! Ask for help! hey!”
“Everyone shut up!”
The desperate screams of my younger siblings were stuck in the back of my head, but it wasn’t the time to worry about it.
First of all, I had to avoid this strange thing.
If you get caught up, you become one with them!
“What on earth happened?”
“Does it matter now! “Shut your mouth and run quickly!”
The gangsters of the black society run like crazy towards the exit while being chased by a mass of humans.
“…Wow, you’re running well?”
plod along.
And the person who created this scene was leisurely walking out of the escape route.
“They are very healthy junkies. “Do you usually exercise hard?”
It was the 3rd prince Gilroshan.
Karls Tyrvaen Irgal, who followed him, looked completely dumbfounded.
“Lord Sui, is it okay for me to be like this?”
“Don’t ask me, Lord Sillion.”
“Why are there all these crazy strategies?”
They were all shaking their heads together.
Just five minutes ago, the situation was completely different.
* * *
The door is not open yet.
“I am Nari. “Is this really okay?”
“I said it’s okay.”
I turned my head while comforting Thompson, whose hands were shaking with fear.
Although they were not speaking, Kals and Tyrvaen also looked nervous.
This was especially true for the little witch who had no experience fighting in such an enclosed space.
I was so nervous that I didn’t even notice that the wrinkles created by magic were slowly disappearing.
‘This guy really doesn’t seem to know how to use the forest rosary?’
In that case, you should give a one-point lesson.
I opened my mouth to Tyrvaen.
“Master, the forest rosary is not a combat artifact. Yes?”
Then Tyrvaen nodded blankly.
“uh? That’s right. Since this is a new product of the Green Elves, it can support the amplification of wood attribute magical power…”
“What else is there?”
“also? ah! It also contains ‘Tree Root Defense’, which strengthens the ally’s formation and maximizes overall defense. “This is magic befitting the peace-loving Green Elf clan.”
“Yes, you know very well.”
I grinned.
‘As expected, the specs come out easily when I hit it.’
As befits an elite witch, it was a very accurate explanation.
< Forest Rosary >
[Accessory] A precious rosary created by the forest tribe. While worn, wood attribute magic recovery and magic effectiveness increase by 50%.
You can use the bound skill ‘Tree Root Defense’.
This magic called ‘Tree Root Defense’ was basically war magic.
As Tyrvaen mentioned, a buff that strengthens the entire formation and increases defense by increasing the density of allies.
‘It’s a defense technique that’s only known that way.’
But I knew how to use this magic offensively.
In a situation like now where the road is blocked.
When borrowing the power of the ‘Shield of Balance’ held by Kals and Irgal.
‘It’s a combination technique that doesn’t have lethal power, but it’s very difficult to counter how?’
I instructed Tirvaen as follows:
“As soon as Thompson opens the door, use the tree root defense spell. “As much as Master’s magic allows.”
“Do you mean to pour out all my magical power?”
“that’s right. “Except us.”
“…huh?”
“Just use the defensive spell on him.”
I tapped Thompson on the shoulder and Tirvaen didn’t seem to understand at all.
“What on earth does that mean? I’m using the tree root defense technique to the extreme, but I’m telling you to only cast it on this person? “Did I understand it correctly?”
“yes that’s right.”
“why? So then we can’t enjoy an increase in defense? “This is a defensive magic that can be used on the entire ranks!”
Actually, the question was valid.
From her perspective, she wouldn’t understand why she would waste magic on the wrong place.
“i know. But do it.”
The reason will come out right away.
“Carls.”
“Yes, Nari.”
“Master, if you cast a spell on Thompson, immediately hit him with your shield and blow him away. In the direction the enemy is blocking. Understand?”
Then, Thompson’s eyes are seen growing as big as lanterns.
I ignored it and sent a glance at Irgal.
“If you’re bored, join us. “I don’t know if you know, but the effect of ‘hit and roll’ is 1.5 times greater if two people work together.”
< Shield of Balance >
[Armor] A shield made to be used by the referee of the unruled combatant. It is designed to be small in size so that it can be used with a sword, but it is harder and heavier than expected.
You can use the binding skill ‘Hit and Roll’.
Literally hit and roll.
That was ‘hit and roll’.
What if Tirvaen uses the Polarized Tree Root Defense spell and Kalth hits it with a shield?
Thompson will attract his family like a magnet and begin to roll like a snowball.
‘If the speed doesn’t increase, Carls can hit a little more.’
From the beginning, Thompson’s comrades were over there, not us, so the Green Elf’s defensive magic worked correctly.
This will open the way for us to go out on its own.
“Oh, what a creative use!”
“Wow, that was your plan!”
Tyrvaen and Kalth finally realized my intention and nodded.
Irgal also had a similar reaction.
“I can’t believe there is a way to mix skills like this…”
The guy was looking at the Shield of Balance in his hand as if it was very interesting.
But does this guy really know nothing about this?
Using buff magic in reverse on the enemy as a distraction strategy was one of < Shin.Ver.Se >‘s advanced techniques.
It was a method that was only possible if you accurately knew the properties of magic and could use it according to the situation.
But it must be well known to the old people.
‘Maybe I don’t know much about the game?’
It’s hard to judge in this situation where you can’t even see the guy’s expression.
“lily! “You said you would save me!”
Thompson’s face turned pale as he found out about my plan from the side.
“You won’t die because you’ve got the defensive spell. don’t worry.”
“But!”
“You don’t trust our witch? “If you don’t believe me, should I just send you away without casting any magic?”
“Aaaah!”
“And the blood container is full, right? “What are you worried about?”
“…pain? “What is that?”
This is a mistake.
I end up saying all sorts of things to NPCs.
“Anyway, that means you won’t die.”
I added with a grin.
“And you, too, make the most of this opportunity.”
“yes? What opportunity do you mean?”
I grabbed his hand and placed it on the doorknob and gave him a simple answer.
“What can I do? It’s a chance to change my life in the back alley.”
“…!”
Squeak.
The moment the door to the hallway opened.
“Hit!”
“Take it all off!”
The black things rushed at me with a fierce shout.
But for us, the operation had already begun.
