Evan D. Sherden, Carry Out A Quest (2)

In the Yo-Ma Great War Series 3, players Dungeons in addition to the Sherden Dungeons. There were Dungeons for leveling, for sub-quests, and the main scenarios. The most important thing was the nature of the Dungeon.

‘Is this a one-time Dungeon or a normal Dungeon?’

In one-time Dungeons, there were usually no Dungeon cores. If it did contain one, it was quite small.

It was possible to manage the environment inside such a Dungeon, but once the monsters were hunted by the explorers and the facility was destroyed, unable to be recovered, it came to be called a one-time Dungeon. In other words, the resources inside were limited.

“Even if the Dungeon has a robust Dungeon core that allows for the monsters to breed as well as a trap production facility, it’s over once the core is stolen.”

“I’ve heard that clearing a Dungeon doesn’t mean you get to find the core.”

“Yes, that’s right. A Dungeon Core is the Dungeon’s life and essence, so it can’t be out for everyone to see. You cannot find one unless you kill the Boss Monster. And even then, it’s a difficult task.”

But in this Dungeon, Evan knew clearly where the Core was. It was no wonder that the Core was managed by a Dwarf, who lived in the center of the Dungeon.

“Is the Dwarf interfering with the Dungeon so humans can’t complete it?”

“Correct.”

“…Are you sure it’s okay to proceed, Master?”

“Master, if you need to defeat the Dwarf by force, tell me now. I’ll have magic ready.”

Unlike Raihan, who was anxious, Belois looked at Evan with a determined look on her face as she spoke. She prepared magic that might be ‘The Echo of the Witch’, one of the witch’s Mana Swords that Belois had mastered in recent years.

Another spell, ‘Memorize’, would pre-translate a witch’s spell so that it could be activated immediately when it was necessary. Of course, other Mana Swordsmen who were not witches could have learned the Memorize series’ spells when their skill leveled up. ‘The Echo of the Witch’ had the advantage of overwhelmingly superior storage efficiency.

“No, we are not fighting. We’re going to clear it with a civilized dialogue.”

“Dialogue…”

Evan had constantly been blowing beads in every direction since he entered the Dungeon. Each time a bead flew away, one trap or one monster got destroyed. It was similar to what he had experienced in exploring the Sherden Dungeons.

“This Dungeon is pretty deep and quite difficult. I thought having Raihan with us would make me feel more secure.”

“I see.”

Though it felt quite gratifying to hear this, Raihan had already guessed as much.

Raihan’s purpose in the party was clear from the beginning.

[Arghhhh!]

“Oh, is it dead?”

And it was done as Raihan had expected.

“Ogre… This is an Ogre, Master!”

The Ogre was a 50th floor boss at Sherden Dungeon, which possessed terrible strength, speed, defense, and intelligence. Making a small mistake had sometimes cost the Yo-Ma Great War Series’ legends their life as well; the Ogre is not to be underestimated.

Its terrifying scream made other creatures tremble… The Ogre was that kind of monster.

“Right? Horta, this is an Ogre, right? Is it weaker than the Ogres we have in the Sherden Dungeons?”

“I don’t think so…”

Evan, who broke through the Dungeon and cleared five floors in just seven hours, went straight to the Boss Battle Room. With Battle Beads, Evan attacked the Ogre, who had been sleeping in the Battle Room because there had been no visitors for a long time.

And the Ogre met its end in no time.

“Hey! It was my first time seeing an Ogre… Now it’s dead!”

“I knew you were very good at fighting when I saw you sparring against Lord Leo. However, I didn’t expect you to kill it with a Battle Bead.”

Raihan, accustomed to Evan’s functional performance, was stunned. He continued to gaze at the Ogre’s body with admiration. However, Horta was different.

The word ‘Ogre’, the symbol of the mighty terrestrial monster, was a living legend for humans in this era. That was why the title of ‘Ogre Slayer’ was given to someone who could defeat it one on one.

“Master Evan, you are now an Ogre Slayer.”

“I’m begging you, please don’t call me that novice title.”

As long as the Ogre existed as a general boss on the 50th floor of Sherden Dungeon, anyone who played in the Yo-Ma Great War Series 3 could catch it once. Even a beginner who couldn’t finish the game was able to kill an Ogre.

Therefore, on the bulletin board of the Yo-Ma Great War Series 3, having Ogre Slayer as the only achievement made the novice players a laughing stock for the community.

“Master aims very high, Horta. Keep it in mind.”

“…I am not acquainted with the Master like you are yet.”

“Belois, I think it’s a little dangerous with those two together.”

“Sometimes you need a fool like Shine to lighten the atmosphere.”

With Raihan and Horta, who were always optimistic about Evan, respect and admiration for Evan rose more in their sight.

Evan soon recovered the Ogre’s body after calming off the two who were on the brink of calling Evan a deity soon. Evan tore off a rib from the most delectable parts of the Ogre’s body before it completely turned into mana.historical

The most important point of monster looting was to properly remove the monster’s carcass to the extent that the entire body wouldn’t be transformed into mana. And, Evan was a Master in this trade.

“Ogre bones make for efficient weapons if processed well. Horta, have you ever honed an ogre’s bones to make weapons…?”

“Not yet, Master. I haven’t practiced any materials other than metal…”

“Well, why don’t you give it a try? Ogre ribs are top-notch quality among monster bones.”

[Wait!]

It was the very moment Evan was about to hand Ogre ribs to Horta.

A small hidden door opened in the left corner of the Battle Room, and beyond it was a small child who might have been 140 centimeters long. She appeared out of nowhere, yet she was very adorable.

[Give it to me!]

“Oh, what’s a child doing in this dreadful place!?”

“Horta, that’s…”

“That must be the Dwarf.”

Raihan spoke casually. Horta, on the other hand, was shocked to hear Raihan.

“She is just a little girl!”

“Take a good look, it’s a Land Fairy, a Dwarf.”

[Hey, are you listening to me? Give me that bone!]

The Dwarf had been saying something, but Horta, who couldn’t understand her, looked at the Dwarf with an indescribable look.

Then, he soon understood what Evan meant. He might mistake her as an ordinary girl, but her remarkably developed pelvis and breast were those of an adult woman.

“Her face belongs to a complete child.”

“The Land Fairies are pure. She’s charming, isn’t she?”

“Hmmm…… that’s right.”

Although the Yo-Ma Great War series did not put much effort into setting up the species, there were traces of meticulous designing when it came to the Elves and Dwarves.

The design had different physical characteristics from humans but was attractive. If the Elves pursued unachievable inhuman beauty, the Dwarves had a heterogeneous beauty that was a combination of children and adults together.

“That’s why some originally praised the Dwarves as the legal Lo X, the legal Show X…….” [TL NOTE: No idea about this reference. But Toika is out here with a loli…]

[Bones! Give me the bones!]

Unable to bear the humiliation of four humans staring down at her, the Dwarf attacked Evan in anger. However, Evan held her lightly as he had been waiting for her to do so.

[Sorry, I didn’t mean to ignore you.]

[You can speak the Dwarven language, but you’ve been ignoring me!]

[I’ve got some translation artifacts.]

[You’re still ignoring me!]

Artifacts that allowed people to talk to exotic races were rare, but there were still a few in the Sherden warehouse.

Evan had studied languages of exotic races during the game (Elven and Dwarven languages belonged to the same family). Evan could converse with them, but he brought some of the artifacts just in case.

But Evan thought he could have managed without the artifacts.

[But why didn’t you hide? Wasn’t it normal for the Dwarves to hide?]

[You poured strange magic sand into every hole I dug. I almost died of suffocation! If the ogre hadn’t been defeated, I’d be stuck here, suffocated to death! [email protected] #@!]

[Aha!]

[How dare you say ‘Aha’!]

There wasn’t a problem with the game! Evan was rejoiced at solving this mystery. The Dwarf kicked Evan’s feet, but only her feet hurt because his boots’ curse protected Evan’s legs.

[I’m Evan. This is Belois, that’s Raihan, and this is Horta Beanus. Horta is a blacksmith like you.]

[No fun, don’t introduce your party so casually! Apologize for your rudeness and walk away with that strange magic sand! And give me the bones!]

[Actually, I came to you for a suggestion, Ella.]

[Hey! The artifact is working, right!?]

The Dwarf finally grabbed Evan’s shirt and shook it. She wanted to grab him by the collar, but she couldn’t do it since she was much shorter than Evan.

[No, but wait, how did you know my name!?]

[In the same way that I found out where you live.]

[Then ……did my fellows sell me out? Those cowardly traitors!]

The Dwarven woman Ella became cynical. But her companions had not sold her out. Evan shook his head and explained.

[I’ve foreseen it.]

[There’s a prophet among humans!]

It always worked against other humans; why wouldn’t it against the Dwarf.

[Hey, Ella.]

Evan respected the wide range of human tastes, but he was not interested in Dwarves, so he decided to stop making fun of her and get straight to the point.

[I know about your dreams. That’s why I came to see you.]

[…No way.]

Ella felt startled by Evan’s words and let go of his shirt. Evan asked, looking at her with a serious look on his face.

[Dreaming to make the sharpest knife in the world, right? I’m interested in your dream, too. I’m here to help you with that.]

[You know that!]

It was a lie. Evan was well aware that Ella would never realize her dream.

She was interested in the ‘substantive product’ that came out of making the sharpest knife in the world.

[Give me the Quest. Let’s make the sharpest knife in the world together.]

[Quest..]

Ella’s eyes shook. Being astounded by the words of this ‘human prophet’, the situation was getting difficult for her to accept.

But it was also clear that Evan’s words had the effect he had intended…

[Okay. Then first, I’ll try to test you to see if you qualify. Far away, in the desert of the continent, there’s a sand golem of fine, sharp sand. Bring me the Core of that golem. At least that much perseverance and ability…]

[Now.]

The moment Evan heard it, he opened his inventory pocket and took out the Core of Sand Golem. Ella’s mouth hung open. Evan then spoke with a relaxed smile.

[What’s next? If it’s Clay Golem’s Core, it’s ready, too.]

[!?]

[Or was it Stone Golem? Gargoyle?]

[Wow, this prophet of the human race is wonderful!]

Among the numerous quests, legends of the Yo-Ma Great War Series liked item-collecting quests the most.

Why?

They could finish the mission as soon as they received the Quest.
