Chapter 483 Lady Of The Lake (I)
The usual entrance to reach the Island of Avalon is among the thicket areas where wolves and other beasts lurk around. It's not their main habitat but most of their prey usually dwell around the thicket making the place quite dangerous to approach especially if you are not a high leveled player venturing around the wilds.
I approached the thicket, ready with my Versatile Weapon for any attacks to come to me. But to my surprise, the attacks did not come as I expected. I was hoping to at least encounter a few beasts but it seems there is no hope for that. I won't really have any expectations of wolves since I wear the mask that allows me to ignore wolves unless they go aggressive with me but I expected other beasts that are aggressive against the wolves.
Seeing that no attacks have occurred, I continue my path towards the thicket and entered the place to get into the Island of Avalon.
[You have discovered the Island of Avalon! You are the first to discover the area, rewarding you with 100 reputations to all inhabitants of the Island of Avalon.]
"Wow, that was great!"
I didn't expect to receive 100 reputations for all inhabitants of the Island of Avalon. That means getting friendly with the lady of the lake won't be hard due to the help of that. It was a good thing that no one has yet to discover this place aside from me or else the 100 reputations would certainly not get awarded to me.
I wanted to head straight to where the Lady of the Lake is currently located when the thicket behind me suddenly started moving. I looked at the thicket and 4 people jumped right out of the thicket, clearly looking like they were being chased by something. To think I was just a few seconds earlier and got the reputation reward, if I was a few more seconds late, these newcomers would be the ones who will be getting the reputation.
ROAR!
"F*CK! Is it still chasing?!" the samurai who wears the beginner gear holds his katana tighter.
"I will deploy more traps!" the saboteur who is also wearing the same beginner gear drops a few bear traps down at the entrance of the thicket.
"Alright, let's move!"
They were so busy running away that it seems they didn't even notice me standing there while looking at them. Perhaps they are so panic-stricken that they have not been able to properly observe anyone in their surroundings. All they have been doing is running and escaping whatever danger is there chasing them. Perhaps they have yet to adapt to the VR atmosphere and that is perfectly normal, especially with the situation being so dangerous for them.
And just like what they expected, the monster following them appeared out of the thicket. The monster stepped on the traps but it just shook them off like it was just nothing. Since all of the targets of its aggression is already far and the nearest one is me, it transferred its transgression to me.
[Feroucious Angry Tiger] Elite Monster
Level 60
HP: 30,000/30,000
Trait: Beast
A level 60 huh? This one is nothing to me.
"You are messing with the wrong dude, my guy."
SWISH!
A single slash is all it needed to kill the elite monster for me. With my stats, it was a bit of an overkill for me to kill it, and even if it was an elite monster, it wasn't even that strong, to begin with so a single slice is all it takes to kill it. It would have been good if I just lopped off its head but I refrained as the quality of the fur would be really bad if dismantled once the head is cut off without being butchered properly and with my slashes usually causing a messy cut, it would be better if I didn't do anything like that.
[You have killed the Ferocious Angry Tiger!]
[Due to the level difference, you have earned less experience and reward. Earned 1 EXP(Title effects activated, 1 Exp earned.) and 1 gold.
What a measly reward. It only made sense since my level is quite low that leveling even with the title effects, will not even make anything significant at all.
The tiger howled before it died. It was expected and there is nothing more to it. As for the others, they looked back and are standing there in shock at what they saw. I don't know what they saw but perhaps they have seen the moment I killed it in one slash.
The girls sat down on the ground with the exhaustion taking over them. I sighed and signaled the others to approach.
I can tell the men were reluctant but the druid nagged them to come so they decided to go. They are just wary of me especially since I just killed their pursuer in one slice.
"You guys should take the corpse of this monster. Dismantle it if you guys knew how to do it, then sell it. You guys would earn a ton of money by just selling its fur alone."
"Wha-? But we didn't kill it! Why are we taking the spoils?" the samurai was not expecting my offer to them.
"It is useless to me and I have no uses for its materials. I don't need more money too so you guys should just take it. It doesn't matter to me if you guys would take it or not, I am not in need of it, so do what you want with it."
"Uh... thank you very much!" the saboteur bowed down with deep respect to me.
I just shrugged them and went to go where the lady of the lake should be. Time is the essence here. I can't waste my time and dawdle any longer.
...
...
After helping the 4 players, I immediately noticed that they were following me.
"Oy, you guys. If you think I was here to hunt, then you guys are wrong. If you plan to level up, go outside and stop following me, I am not in need of your help."
With beginner players seeing a strong player nearby, their first instinct is to follow them and ask to party with them just to earn slight experience gain from what they kill. It was some sort of boosting from higher leveled players. Although some people kindly do that, I am not there to kill monsters. I am there to obtain the material I needed and once that is done, I will be leaving and returning to the Frozen Area of Sandurk.
"Don't worry! We are not here to disturb you! We will just be following closely since we are low leveled players and we just stumbled here. We don't know how big the levels of the monsters here and with you around, perhaps we can leave here easily if we follow you out of here."
"What are your levels?" I turned to look at them.
"I am level 20, Yna, our gunslinger is level 17, our druid, Shana is level 19 while our saboteur, Koji is level 15," the samurai revealed.
"Hey, I just leveled to level 20 just now! Perhaps I received a bit of experience since I did some damage to the tiger that has just died."
No wonder. They have come too far. It wasn't even something they shouldn't even be here as this place is already in the area of level 65 and above. Players in the level of 20 and below are at very high and serious risk. But their reasoning of why they are following me is indeed viable. Following a strong player on their way out to an unfamiliar land is also necessary for them as that would spell their death if they even fight against a monster that is just a mob around here. After all, their levels are too low to even kill one here. Not only that, they don't even have any healers in their group so it was very easy for them to die.
"If that is the case, then just follow closely. Don't interfere much if you guys wanted to get out of here alive. The enemies here are rather quite wild and would not hesitate to aim for the weakest members of the party."
"Don't worry. We won't be a burden!" the samurai quickly nodded in agreement.
I felt a bit sorry for them though. I think I know the reason they have arrived this far. During this time, beginner players have a hard time finding a good place to farm unless they have a guild they can join in, or else, they will have a harder time to even finding a good place to kill monsters and raise their own levels. They are more likely to go and venture deeper into the dangerous areas to gain levels though it was known for being very high risk and high reward thing, they have no choice as that is the only way for them to get themselves leveled up.
I opened the menu and pulled out a party invite which caused the samurai who seemed to be the party leader shocked.
