My Buff Is Invincible! - Chapter 17
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Encountering such a quest that could only be completed by 10,000 people in “The One”, it was a given that Reyker would not let it pass him by.
He immediately stepped into the dungeon, and a pleasant female voice rang in his ears — “The quest Murderous Witch has been activated”.
Just then, the environments around suddenly changed. The bonfire behind him suddenly extinguished.
Then, the calm river suddenly started bubbling up.
The originally dilapidated little treehouse became brand new in an instant, and a dim light shone from the window.
The sound of a woman humming a fun song came from above.
Following this, Reyker heard the sound of footsteps coming from afar.
To prevent the visitor from discovering him, he looked around and directly jumped into the river.
Hiding his body in the river, Reyker hid his head behind a huge rock.
A count dressed in high-class clothes walked out of the forest.
Although Reyker had never seen Count Hilder who was mentioned in the letter, he was sure that the person in front of him was most likely to be the Count.
The Count walked up the stairs to the treehouse, the creaking sounds echoing in the empty forest.
The singing of the girl in the treehouse also came to an abrupt end.
At this time, the man suddenly disappeared into thin air.
Everything returned to the moment when Reyker first arrived, and the treehouse became dilapidated again.
[Quest: Find the Truth Fragments(0/?)]
[You can submit this quest and start the plot at any time, but the number of truth fragments will determine the truth you see next and the final outcome.]
As expected of an exclusive quest. Not only did it not mention any useful information, it did not even tell the players how many truth fragments there were.
This was equivalent to directly putting the players in a psychological game.
How many clues did you have to find before you could see the truth of the world?
Reyker got out of the river and began to search through the woods where Count Hilder had come from.
With his sharp eyes, he immediately noticed the thin thread hanging on the branches of the bushes not far away.
He ran over, and as soon as his fingers touched the thin thread, a notification sound rang out.
[This is wool from the Inner Mongolia Plateau in Sky Province. Due to its extremely low yield and strong warming ability, this wool had always been sought after by the upper class.]
[Truth Fragments(1/?)]
After reading this, Reykel squatted down and began to check the footsteps of Count Hilder.
After observing five of his footsteps, there was a notification again.
[The boots from the Barhod Family of Holy Maiden City are famous for their handmade durability.]
[Truth Fragments (2/?)]
Reykel then checked every spot that the Count had passed by one by one.
Unfortunately, he did not trigger any truth fragments again.
However, this made him feel relieved.
In truth, when he had discovered two truth fragments in a row in the beginning, he was feeling panicked.
This was because he was afraid that the number of truth fragments would be designed to be a large number, for example, 30 or 40.
If that was the case, it would be easy for players to miss one of them, and for Reyjer, who had OCD, that would be torture.
If he found out that later on that he did not discover all the clues, he would definitely feel very uncomfortable.
After checking the ground, Reyker walked up to the treehouse.
Just as he went to open the door of the treehouse, a message popped up.
[Exclusive quest is in progress. This scene is not open for the time being.]
Just as Reyker was in a dilemma, the sound of footsteps could suddenly be heard from outside.
At the same time, a man shouted.
“I’ve finally found a bonfire!”
“Boss, you’re so wise! You’ve finally found the direction.”
“As the saying goes, there must be supplies before a big battle. There’s a bonfire here, the boss dungeon must be nearby.”
Following these sounds, a group of burly men rushed over from the forest.
The moment they saw Reyker, they were stunned.
“Are you an NPC or a player?!”Andrew shouted.
Due to the first-kill achievement, Reyker’s name had been announced to the entire server. Therefore, in order to avoid attracting attention while walking amongst the crowd, he had chosen the private mode.
With this, outsiders could only see a limited number of information when they opened his information panel, such as his level and his equipment (special terms and talents were hidden).
“Boss, he’s human. We can open his information panel, so he’s a player.”
“What?!” Andrew was stunned.
He could not accept such a blow at the moment. He and his brothers in the Guild had spent two to three days and countless financial resources to reach here.
And now he was encountering a lone ranger who had arrived here faster than him. This was unacceptable to him at the moment.
He must have a secret passage. Yes, there must be a secret passage.
“Brat, did you come through a secret passage? Tell it to us this instant! We’re the Fierce Tiger Guild!”
“I didn’t.”
“Then are you unwilling to cooperate?” Andrew’s tone became dangerous.
Reyker was speechless. If it was based on individual strength, even if he transformed into a werewolf, it wasn’t guaranteed that he could reach this area. However, it was all thanks to the witch’s “kindness” that he could get here.
Reyker was not willing to tell them how he got here. One of the reasons was that there would definitely be a lot of rewards for completing the current quest.
He would definitely have to keep the rewards for the people he was close to. After he completed the quest, he would tell Kairi, Tiffany, and his sister about the process of the whole quest.
He would also tell the little boy who was in the same ward with his sister. After all, his sister usually had a lot of fun with him.
He was unwilling to share such information with this group of strangers who had a bad attitude.
Seeing that Reyker still did not speak, the atmosphere between the two parties instantly became tense.
“Since he will not speak, send him on his way. Don’t let him hinder us here.”
Following this, a few people rushed over, and a scene that shocked them appeared.
They saw Reyker instantly transform into a huge werewolf, and slapped a huge paw on the body of one of the swordsmen who rushed forward.
In “The One”, a difference of 50 points in strength would result in a knockback effect. If the difference was doubled, it would result in a flyback effect.
Thus, the swordsman who had charged forward was sent flying.
“What kind of monster is this!”
“A transformation skill?”
“Quick, screenshot it and post it on the Internet.”
“Don’t panic. No matter how strong he is, he is only one person, but we are configured to clear dungeons. Nuns, pay attention to healing the warriors. Shield warriors, take the front line.”
“Humph, he is just an independent player. Does he think that he’s very great just by mastering some transformation skills?”
Looking at Reyker who was surrounded by the shield warriors, a cold smile appeared on Andrew’s face.
The scene of Reyker being encircled and killed had already appeared in his mind.
He saw Reyker grab at one of the shield warriors’ bodies.
A damage value appeared.
[-12]
Following which, a healer’s healing skill descended from the sky.
[+29]
“Haha, you dare to challenge our Fierce Tiger Guild with only the ability to cause 12 damage? With just this bit of attack power, the damage you cause isn’t even as great as the healing effect our healers have.”
The onlookers laughed and mocked Reyker’s overestimation of his abilities.
However, what happened next stunned them.
Reyker broke out of the encirclement by lifting his leg and crossing over the top of the shield warriors’ heads..
