1st Place In The Ranking Is A Villager

Chapter 14

1st place in the ranking is the villager

– Volume 1 Episode 14

14. Ruins Giant Golem (1)

An old and huge gate located in the wall between the rocks after walking for 30 minutes from Liforn.

That was the entrance to the dungeon ‘Giant Golem of the Ruins’.

In front of them were full of parties aiming for experience or items.

As I entered the dungeon, I was standing in an old, wide hallway with signs of age on the walls and pillars.

“Now, we will go down one floor at a time. Now it has three floors above the ground and there are two underground floors. You have to catch all the monsters on that floor to get down to the lower floors, so you’ll have to run hard before the access time runs out!”

Before entering the dungeon, Hoya’s position was a dealer.

He wasn’t expecting a strong deal because he was a villager.

He just entered the dealership because he was too vague to put him as an assistant or tank.

Their explanation was that if the king dragged the monster’s aggro, he would jump out from behind him and attack the enemy, being careful not to bounce the aggro.

Well, since he’s a villager, he won’t be able to attack as much as aggro, but he’s given a formal explanation.

As King took a few steps ahead, the three-meter-tall statues standing on one wall made a heavy sound and moved slowly.

Compared to the body that moved slowly, the head, which turned quickly in an instant, was looking at the party.

The stone statues immediately approached the party with heavy footsteps.

“A warrior’s roar! An iron wall!”

The king, who firmly fixed the shield he was holding in front of his body, used the aggro skill, the warrior’s roar, and the iron wall, a skill that raises the defense.

Boom, bang, bang, bang, quaang-!

The stone statues moving slowly approached with accelerating little by little and plunged themselves into the King’s shield.

Although the HP gauge displayed on King’s head was reduced by a quarter of the head-butting of the stone statues, Pion immediately put in a heel to restore his stamina.

Because the player holding the party was attacked, the battle decision was recognized by the three behind them, and information about the monster could be checked.

[Old Golem in the Ruins]

Level: 122

[Old Golem in the Ruins]

Level: 125

⋮

Only the name and level were displayed, but that alone was enough to predict.

‘Are we supposed to catch at least 7 minutes per animal?’

As Muran had expected that, the King signaled.

“now!”

Upon receiving the King’s signal, Muran grabbed his sword and turned around like a flowing stream from behind the King, protruding and slashing one of the golem’s arms that first struck him.

Thanks to that, no damage that would have gone to the King went into it.

“Two-step stab.”

Kagang, Kang!

Muran tried to attack using a skill, but only a large scratch was engraved on the golem.

The HP gauge floating above his head didn’t decrease much either.

He also had high defense and looked like a golem who was a thug.

However, Hoya’s attack, which should have appeared after him, did not appear at all.

With eyes slightly annoyed by that, Muran continued his attack, turning his gaze to the back of King’s back for a brief moment.

Again, Hoya was still behind the King.

But the look Hoya was showing her wasn’t enough to make her annoyed.

Peeing- Peeing-Peaking-.

Around Hoya, there were three blue-colored windows that were about 1 meter high.

“Spear.”

As Hoya said that, the blue spears were each pierced by the three golems that were pounding hard on the King’s shield, and exploded with a tremendous roar.

bang! bang! bang! Kwagga River!

At the place where the dust cloud created by the explosion had been removed, the three golems had already disappeared as grains of light.

All I could see was the golems coming out to fill the void of the missing golems.

“……”

The three were momentarily speechless.

King was instantly distracted and almost thrown out of his mind even though he was a tank.

There was a satisfied expression on Hoya’s face, but his face, which was covered with a mask, could only be seen by them with slightly raised lips.

blue window.

It was one of the magic tricks learned from Moan.

[Method 2 – Sphere]

Creates a 1m-sized spear of magical power and fires it at the enemy.

Magical properties change depending on the properties you have.

MP consumption varies depending on the number of windows you create, and you can create up to 3 windows.

Each spear has 150% ATK of ATK and explodes dealing additional damage equal to 70% of ATK.

It takes 2 seconds to create a single spear.

Ignores 30% of magic defense.

MP used: 400 (Maximum MP usage 1,200)

Cooldown: 30 minutes

[The gaze of the dead tree recognizes the enemy.][All enemies’ status, attack power, and movement speed are reduced by 15% until they are out of sight.]

It was a message that appeared to Hoya as the stone statues that were standing still and the golems moved.

This was the power of the bark that Hoya was wearing after hunting the ‘ent subspecies of the polluted forest’ and the mask he was wearing now.

[Gaze of a dead tree]

Class: Unique

Durability: 100/100

*When a person recognized as an enemy enters the field of vision, a debuff that reduces all status, attack power, and movement speed by 15% is applied, and is automatically removed when the opponent is out of sight.

An item left behind by the death of the ‘Ent subspecies of the Contaminated Forest’ in the Forest Contaminated by Magi.

The power of the ent subspecies of the tainted forest remains weak.

Wear Restrictions: Those who defeated the ‘Ent subspecies of the Contaminated Forest’.

It was an item left behind by the ‘Ent subspecies of the Contaminated Forest’, which was defeated as part of Kraus’s last basic training test.

It was a very good item that conditionally applied a semi-permanent debuff.

Before long, the stone statues standing in front of the wall moved.

Since the position had been set in advance, Hoya waited for King to send a signal, and when he gave the signal, he developed the ‘spear’ he learned from Moan.

In the village, the effect could only be confirmed against the Scarecrow, so there was a desire to check how powerful the monsters of the same level were.

The result was beyond expectations.

It was a natural result.

Hoya’s level is 129, but if you add the stats that were raised due to the class with Krauss and Moan and the stats that were additionally received from the effect of ‘throwing rocks with eggs’, the sum of the total stats alone reached level 200 powerlessness.

It has the same force as the ranking leader group.

In addition, the attack power of Hoya’s weapon ‘Gigant Red Bear Bone Sword’ reached 774 when Hoya was level 129.

Furthermore, an additional 20% is increased by the effect of the title ‘Heir of Legendary Magic’ acquired along with the skill while completing Moan’s class.

It does not stop there, and since the weapon Hoya is holding is a ‘sword’, the effect of the title ‘Successor of the Legendary Sword’ is additionally attached.

Since he used Moan’s magic with such power, it was strange if the level 120 monsters did not die at once.

“Muran! Look ahead!”

“hot!”

Muran, who had been obsessed with Hoya, regained his consciousness at King’s words.

The golem’s fist was already approaching his nose in front of him just then.

Kagak!

Muran, who barely played the sword and twisted his fist, naturally retreated back and settled down next to Hoya with the recoil of the force.

“Hoya-sama! What just happened?! Weren’t you from the village?”

“……”

“Ah, it’s against manners to ask such a thing. I’m sorry. I was so surprised…”

“……Fine.”

Finally entering the dungeon, Hoya grabbed the sword for the first time and took a pose.

It was immediately felt that his posture had come from long training.

Muran says there are people who play games using their talents in real life, but I wondered if this was the case as well.

‘Ah……! This is not the time for me!’

Muran followed Hoya who jumped forward and attacked the golems again.

It took him less than 5 minutes to kill the remaining seven golems.Six of them were caught by Hoya alone, and one was helped by Muran in the last fight.

These three parties had entered the dungeon after calculating the time to clear a floor as at least 1 hour.

I was expecting it to take about 6 hours to catch the boss…

It felt like it would take about an hour to go down to the boss floor.

Contrary to their initial intention, they were riding the bus.

* * *

There was an old, large door similar in size to when you first entered the dungeon.

It was the entrance to the second basement level of the dungeon ‘Golem of the Ruins’, the entrance to the boss floor.

It took about 2 hours to get here.

Each skill has its own cooldown time, so it was natural to not be able to keep producing the same firepower in the dungeon.

But this alone was fast enough.

“…Hey, don’t you think we’re too arrogant? Shouldn’t the situation be the other way around?”

“Do I have to pay a bus fare for this…?”

Before entering the boss floor, they were taking a break for a while to recover and check the skill cooldown time.

The three were fully aware that Hoya was the only reason they were able to progress through the dungeon so quickly.

Instead of filling the minimum number of people, I brought the bus with the idea that they would ride it.

However, the villagers were giving them a ride on the bus.

The ride was so good that I had to pay for a taxi rather than a bus fare.

They were seriously thinking.

And the face behind the mask looking at the three of them was a little stiff and he didn’t know what to do.

‘What… did I do something wrong…?’

In order to have a serious conversation, the three of them naturally moved to a location slightly away from Hoya and had a small conversation.

Seeing that he had left himself alone and only talked to each other, Hoya wondered if he had done something wrong.

Or maybe he is secretly shunning himself by putting him out of sight.

With that in mind, Hoya slowly retraced the events from meeting them until he came right in front of the dungeon’s boss floor.

But he never did anything particularly special in his memory.

Neither of the three had any intention to outrun Hoya.

There were many cases where the three of us went together, so we just got together as usual without any intention.

It happened spontaneously because I didn’t even think that it was a story to be told in front of me.

“Can I leave now?”

nod.

While Hoya was in trouble, the cooldown of King’s tanking skill had expired, so they decided to step into the boss’s room.

profit-.

When I pushed the door lightly, it made a sound as the door, which seemed too heavy to look at, was pushed lightly like a feather.

When all the party members entered the room, a red graphic wall was erected at the entrance where they entered, preventing them from escaping.

Now, you can’t get out of this place until you defeat the dungeon boss.
