Winkle hates frost.
He settled in the southern Alban Mountains because he believed it would protect against thieves, but the cold air of his beloved mountains was no match for the so-called Winter Kingdom. This vast land, lying to the north of the Land of Night, seemed entirely covered with snow; even now, at noon, faint hail still interfered with his flight.
"It's so cold..." Manling Victor flew beside his master, shaking like a tree. Even his heavy clothes couldn't protect him. “Horribly cold!”
"As soon as I get the gold, we'll leave," Wankel promised him.
He couldn't wait to go to the moon.
This might be Manlin Victor's greatest idea since he decided to serve Winkle forever. If the Emperor can't complete a mission or monster on this planet, he goes to another planet, no competition! The Moon will become his hunting ground, V&V's latest conquest!
What could go wrong with this plan?
"According to the map, the third name on Your Majesty's list, Storm Cornelia, should be nearby." "I wonder if she will also pay Your Majesty."
Winkle hoped so, too, as the dragon and its minions flew over a frozen lake and then through a snowy forest of spruce and pine trees. The dragon left his bag behind so they could explore the area as they pleased without worrying about his new gold.
The red maggots notice a flying object, its white color harmonizing with the snow flying towards them. "Hello Vai
queue
!" A small ice dragon saluted him as they moved through the sky. "How strange to see you there!"
"S
owsweep. "Winkel recognized her at the party. "I'm looking for a small animal called..."
"Storm Cornelia" Name provided by Manlin Victor,
"Cornelia Stormwind."
"That useless elf?" the female dragon shrugged. "After I captured the princess who ruled the forest, she took control of the forest. I guess you'll find her breeding in a nearby pine tree. Why are you looking for her? She's not princess material."
"She insulted me," Winkle replied. "She owes me tribute of gold and cattle."
"Then I wish you good luck." The female dragon replied. "But if you're snooping around, can you tell my brother Wendy to come home?" He hasn't returned from his latest adventure and I'm starting to worry about his safety. "
"I will." Winkle agreed, nodded to the other dragon, and then left to continue searching south.
"This is the fourth dragon we've encountered so far," Manlin Victor said as he and his master hovered over the forest.
"Most of us prefer the cold of the north to the warmth of the south." Why are there more frost dragons than their better cousins? This climate reminds him why he likes the heat. Although his [Elemental Resistance Ring] protects him from the discomfort of the cold, he can still feel it.
Fankle sniffed the air, trying to find the elf grasshopper. He noticed that the forest was filled with many kinds of smells, dozens of man spirits, elves, orcs, and even...
"Manlin Victor, follow me." Winkel ordered, suddenly nervous.
"What?"
"I smell a disgusting fairy on the ground," said the Emperor, trying to pinpoint its location. Failing that, he would surely burn down the entire forest.
"Look there!" Manlin Victor pointed his scythe at the figure emerging from the clouds and flew straight towards them. One of them looked like a dragon from a distance, and Winkle recognized the other as a gryphon rider.
Is it Manling Kia and Julie?
No. This "dragon" is a silver, winged snake, a frost dragon; and one carries a Manlin knight on its back! A lightly dressed elf woman rides a griffon, with blue skin and white hair. Wielding a Renoir-like metal machine; he noticed a third figure, a dark-haired woman in strange fluffy clothing, magically flying between them.
There was a strange light floating above each of their heads.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Manling Victor warned: "She has a shotgun -"
The woman on the gryphon pointed her metal club at Winkle and fired a strange round lead arrow into his abdomen.
The projectile bounced off his scales.
"Leader!" Fankle cried in mock pain, placing a hand on the point of impact. "My only weakness!"
"Really?" asked the woman on the Gryphon, as she and the others gathered around.
"No," Winkle replied, taking advantage of her distraction and firing back fireballs. "Weakness is a manly thing!"
The projectiles did tickle his scales a little, but the dragon ignored the feeling.
The three spread out to avoid the fireballs, displaying an annoying agility. Friend Victor nearly decapitated the drake with his scythe, forcing the beast to go on the defensive while Winkle tried to eat the delicious griffin in one bite.
Other shells flew towards them from the forest, one a huge bolt of lightning, the other a shining arrow. His beautiful ring helped him escape the spell like a buckshot, but that arrow...
Wink felt excruciating pain as it hit him in the abdomen, exploding a scale.
[The dragon-slaying arrow causes double damage!
The red dragon roared angrily, though his scales immediately grew again.
[Master's Shield] activates! You gain the status of [Restoration].
"Sounds from the battlefield." A deep, female voice echoed in the forest below, although Winkle could not pinpoint its origin. "K
ightsba
e, Dalton! My name is Storm Cornelia! Put down your weapons, you are surrounded!"
"Surrounded by dead Manlin? I don't think so!" Still, the evil dragon guessed that she would not pay back the money he deserved. "Come out of your forest and fight, grasshopper!"
"I want it! Have you been looking for me, Knight Baine? I've been waiting for you for months! Defensive strategy!"
All of Cornelia's armies gained the status of physical wards. Physical damage is reduced by 50% for 5 minutes.
A thin layer of golden light covered each attacker, but that didn't matter to Wacker. He would eat all of her minions if necessary.
"Minion, mind those flies, I'm going to smoke out the bugs down there!" the dragon ordered, swooping down while his "wingman" aimed hellfire at the pilot.
The Catastrophe opened its maw and unleashed a stream of fire below, turning the snow to steam and burning everything in its path to cinders. The dragon flew in a straight line, killing everything there, causing animals and humans to escape the flames and smoke.
"The impending doom!" Cornelia shouted from the ground, to Vacker's dismay.
In the near future, you will be attacked randomly. Your luck determines its severity.

Taking a breath, he decided to create a ring of fire around the forest, trapping his enemies on the ground inside.
"Ice shards!" shouted the Drake Knight as he rushed through Manlin Victor's defenses. He pointed his finger at Vacker and fired icicles at him. The dragon didn't even bother to dodge as the projectiles ricocheted off his muscular body. return.
The drake knight grunted, then turned to the skirted flying man. "Crona, the dragon can resist elemental attacks!"
"(Winter's Curse)!" the woman replied, trailing blue dust behind her fingers.
Charisma check successful! You ignore the curse!
"A [Witch]," Manlin Victor recognized the type of spellcaster, busily keeping the griffin at bay with hellfire. "Your Majesty, we must take her down first! She is a buffer!"
"Debuwhat?" Vankel growled back, his attention distracted from the burning of the forest.
"She makes her enemies weaker and inflicts status effects! In short, she's a pain in the ass!"
"(Curse of Weakness)!" the witch replied, pointing at Wacker.
Vitality check successful! You laughed at her feeble strength!
"My spell cannot affect the dragon!" cried the witch. "His numbers are ridiculously high!"
"Little girl, you don't understand," Winkle mocked her. "I'm not fighting you. You're fighting me!"
"You...ah!" The witch's face turned red with anger.
[Taunt] Success! You successfully applied for [Rage Status to Crown! The witch is so drunk that she can't even cast a spell!
Manling immediately pounced on Winkle, who was so blinded by her anger that she couldn't see how crazy her behavior was. "Kron!" The gryphon sprang into action, trying to intercept her allies, but the Emperor was quicker to react.
He blasted both of them to ash with a giant fireball.
But when the smoke clears, both the witch and the elf emerge, albeit badly injured and without their magic barrier or aura. The griffon also failed to wake up, causing the rider to scream and fall to the ground. "Gravity-! The Witch cast a spell on the Gryphon, slowing its fall harmlessly.
Dalton flew close to the dragon to cure it of insects. Cornelia roared, her words echoing through the forest. "separate!"
"Up!" The witch cast a spell on Manling Victor, and he rushed towards her with a sickle. "You're going to be doomed!" (Gravity+)!"
Before any member of V&V could react, an unseen force pulled their friend Victor to the ground.
[Master's Shield] is cancelled! You have lost the status of [Reply].
"Minions!" Winkle shouted anxiously as his followers landed in the forest.
"Ha!" the witch gloated, and she froze as the angry emperor glared at her. "oh oh."
Fankle punched her with lightning speed. The blow sent her flying and she fell to the ground, bloody.
"Crane!" shouted the Drake Knight, and the vengeful Fankle turned to him. "Cornelia, Crona is dead!"
He attempted to harm the dragon with shards of ice, but Va'kr retaliated with his dragon fire. His fire turned ice into steam, but the nasty insect bypassed his attack. Another shell came toward him from the forest, but it was far away and exploded above the clouds.
"Bring the fight to the surface while we activate the golems and summon reinforcements!" his master replied, before casting a spell. "(Predict bad weather)!"
The drake rider immediately flew back into the forest while the hail grew more intense. The ice became as hard as stone and Winkle's scales itched on contact.
The weather has turned bad! [Hail has turned into [Hail Storm]! When you come into contact with it, you will take residual damage!
As the hail beat against his wings, Fankle cursed and flew to the ground, but not in pursuit of the drake.
His servants need him.
"Blink," Winkle said, turning invisible and getting ready to eat them all.
Strength check partially successful! You can move normally on the ground, but you cannot fly.
Victor grunted and stood up from the snow. Called by the law of gravity, he managed to make a decent landing, but it was as painful as in Paradise!
Before he could stand up, he heard an explosion nearby. A huge projectile propelled by fire flew through the woods toward Winkle. With his scythe at the ready, Victor immediately moved toward the source, and the shell exploded, causing no damage.
He found a small group of people sheltering under tall trees, allowing them to withstand the increasingly violent hail. An Elf woman wearing a bear coat and holding a bone bow, his "Treasure Eye" Pe
K immediately recognized this as a "Dragon-Slaying Bow"; a figure in a white cloak hanging back; a red-haired man, a bag of rockets, and a very large rocket launcher.

They have a rocket launcher.

e? Like the leader of Night Blade? Could it be...
"Did you miss it? The elven archer taunted his allies.
"Did I miss it?" the man with the rocket launcher gasped.
"How could you miss?" the elven archer scolded him. "How can you not see the giant dragon holding a rocket launcher?!"
"I don't know!" Stop humiliating me and fire! Knight City is getting closer!"
"Every one of them has a [halo] effect, except for the one with the hood, except for their magic shield." Fu
ibo
Notice the white halo above their heads. "Once killed, they will regain one HP."
Unless he traps their souls first. Victor points out that they have at least one therapist; and a high-level one at that.
The masked warrior suddenly glanced in Victor's direction, revealing his lifeless white skin and crimson eyes. "Here comes the servant," he whispered in a low, harsh voice.
Well, Victor really, really doesn't want to do that part, but it's either Victor or them...
The vizier threw the scythe at the gunner, and before he could pull the trigger, the weapon struck him in the back. The scythe pierced the magic barrier and cut through the flesh.
Blow! [The Slayer deals super effective damage!
His body fell to the snow, blood dripping from the wound. Victor believed he should feel guilty for killing a fellow human; although he helped, he never delivered the finishing blow himself.
On the contrary, Victor felt... nothing special.
Congratulations! Through your brief membership in a crime syndicate and shooting a fellow human in an evil, dishonorable manner, you earned a level in [Assassin]!
You have gained the [Deadly] class perk!
+30 HP, +2 SKI, +1 AGI, +1 INT, +1 CHA, +1 LCK
[Fatal]: Your armed attacks have a certain chance of causing instant death (luck divided by 2).
The gunman's soul is drawn to Victor's scythe, and the aura disappears. His [Helheim] bypassed their protection!
The archer turned hastily in his direction, and the cloaked figure revealed two daggers dripping with poison. "I hate Legolas!" Victor shouted before blasting both of his enemies with hellfire.
The masked fighter turned into white mist before the flames hit him, further fueling Victor's suspicion, but his teammates were unable to dodge. She received a blow of hellfire in the face and staggered back. She shot the arrow and it struck the bark of a pine tree.
"Hilda, Dalton ambushed Emil's team." Cornelia's voice came from a distance. "Do your job and beat the hell out of him!"
Damn it! How did she know?
Victor suddenly remembered that a member of the Blue Rose had a rank among [astrologers], so there was someone who specialized in divination. She may have seen the vizier from a distance while commanding her team.
The vizier quickly ran over to grab his scythe and cut down the flaming archer mercilessly before she could recover. Again, his Pe
The k combo bypasses the enemy's buff.
Blow! [The Slayer deals super effective damage!
Victor evades the cloaked rogue's sneak attack as he feels his victim's life force heal his wounds. The strange figure suddenly appeared behind him.
"Hellfire," the cloaked rogue snapped, dodging Victor's scythe. "Here, we just offer the standard [fire resistance ring]."
Clever, but not enough to stop Vankle's breath or the evil effects of Hellfire. Victor uses [Monster Insight] to confirm his theory.

Strong resistance to the moon, darkness, evil, blood, frost, drainage, death, disease, poison, fatigue, sleep, and beasts.
Weak to Necromancy, Holy, Fire, Life, Rage, Homicide, and Death.
A Nightblade Infiltrator and Vampire Assassin was sent to distribute Dragon Slayer weapons among disgruntled adventurers; and also tricked Bingfang by leaving messages in the dungeon, allowing others to clear out first. Use the cloak and weather to avoid being burned to death by the sun, and never forget his vampire mother's birthday.
A vampire. He is right. "Hey, I know your boss! She's hiding money in our vault!"
The undead assassin responded by trying to slit his neck with a dagger. The two begin a deadly sword dance, unable to hit each other, while rumbling sounds begin to echo through the woods.
Something is approaching. Big stuff.
The piper's song began to echo through the woods, and Victor immediately recognized it as the song of the Valkyries. A moody, bagpipe-remixed song, but a famous song all the same.
? ??His war melody increases the strength and vitality of his soldiers by a stage!
Cornelia kept issuing orders from her hiding place: "[Fabian Strategy]."
Cornelia's troops can now dodge attacks better!
Damn it! The support team reinforced the team from the cover of the forest, and based on the smoke rising in the sky, they intercepted Winkle before the two partners could rejoin. Victor must take out the gangster before reinforcements arrive and then rescue his partner.
A searing crack appeared on his left side, dashing his hopes.
Victor deflected a blue spear with his scythe, and a knight in heavy armor emerged from the crack. He or she rides a huge black stallion with a mane and hooves made of fire. The knight tried to feint him with another crimson spear, forcing Victor to retreat to avoid being impaled.

His [Treasure Hunting Eye] Pe
k also recognized the effects of his weapons. One is for frost damage and the other is for fire damage. Victor can ignore the latter, but the former hits him hard.
As the vampire rogue tried to flank Victor, the nightmare horse let out a wail, and a fiery portal opened in front of the knight. The rider and his mount crossed it, and the chasm closed behind him.
To make matters worse, he noticed three new figures rushing towards his position through the hail. He and Fankle are fighting the entire Adventurer Company!
No. The men fight in groups of three or four. V&V is facing multi-party cooperation. They are all above level 30, and some are equipped with earth weapons.
This is a complete raid!
"Wait, are we the raid boss?" Victor choked, and the black knight appeared again, trying to trample him to death. It becomes increasingly difficult to dodge attacks from two opponents at the same time. "Hey! Why? What did we do to you?"
"You stole our jobs, you beep!"
The minister blinked. "What did you say?"
"You told the fire dragon how to do the task, and now we can't do any task!" Knight Xiji glared at him. "They kill monsters and clear dungeons faster than anyone else! Our company of adventurers is destroyed because of you!"
Is that their reason? "Hey, shouldn't you be happy that we make the world a safer place?" Victor retorts.
“Not if it puts us out of a job!”
Well, maybe he and Winkle raised unemployment among adventurers, like all governments in the world, but that's no reason to murder them!
Unfortunately, three other men also arrive and help surround Victor. A dark-skinned, muscular woman with short blond hair, carrying a huge war hammer on her back and a whip in her hand, seemed to be the leader. Behind her was a tiger-shaped humanoid wearing only dark red pants, and a two-handed swordsman wearing heavy plate armor.
"Five against one," Fu

explain. "I guess this is the end of you."
Victor is reluctant to agree with him, but his odds don't look good. Meanwhile, the rumblings were getting closer and stronger... "If I die there, I have something to tell you."
"Oh? You must tell me."
"You're a huge pain in the ass," Victor said bluntly, then softened the blow. "But I'm going to miss you a little bit. We had a lot of fun."
"go to hell."
Victor used [Observers] against the newcomers, trying to find weak links in their formation.
Hilda Brightside, level 36 (soldier 20/fighter 12/predator 3/whip division 1)
Tiger Jaja
g, level 39(???)
Sven Iron Guard, level 35 (Crusader 30/Heavy Knight 5)
"Crusader? A Crusader fights me, five on one. What is this?"
"You steal souls, feed the undead, and are considered mildly evil in my (karma scan), Victor Dalton!" the holy knight replied. "When we fight for truth, justice, and adventure It’s time to fight for the road!”
Come on, Victor got labeled just because he attended a seminar with an evil lord?! "Evil? You're fighting a vampire assassin!"
"You dragon racist," the vampire deadpanned, waiting for the chance to strike again.
"He's a thug, your dragon master is a conqueror!"
"No matter what, let's kill him." The war master interrupted the discussion, her voice surprisingly soft and gentle. “Please Jaja
g. "
"Yeah," Tiger replied, clasping his hands together so quickly that Victor could barely keep up. "[Accelerating Pillar of Fire]."
Before he could react, a pillar of fire appeared at his feet.
It doesn't do much damage, but it distracts Victor at a crucial moment. The god of war's whip coiled around his scythe, drawing it towards the wielder, disarming the vizier.
Victor cursed under his breath, but the other adventurers didn't give him any time to fight back. The knight disappeared into a fiery chasm, and the vampire assassin immediately attacked Victor, his dagger piercing his clothes and cutting the flesh on his left shoulder.
Vitality check failed! You've been [toxic]!
"That's a nice scythe," Ares said with a cheeky smile after grabbing it. "Broken weapon!"
She grabbed the scythe with both hands, knelt on the ground, and split Victor's weapon in two.
In an instant, the dozens of souls inside fled, with Frippon's cackling ghost leading the way. Victor's eyes widened in horror as the God of War threw the remains of the weapon to the ground and replaced the whip with a hammer. "Lightning Crush!"
Victor ducked out of the way, narrowly missing a hammer to the skull, and the God of War shattered the pine tree behind him like a Kit Kat.
Realizing that he was hopelessly behind, not to mention surrounded, Victor used the [Death Candle] to summon Will's elf. While they did little to slow down the opposition, they gave him access to the bodies of both victims. "evil Dead!"
As the bodies rise, Victor activates his new Pe
k, pray to any crazy god for victory. "Dread Knight!"
A dark aura surrounds him, and the atmosphere becomes oppressive as his zombies face off against their opponents. "Even if I die," Victor promised, trying to communicate with his inner master, "I will drag you to hell with me!"
The enemy's strength and charisma are reduced by one level!

Both the vampire and the tiger froze with fear, then immediately retreated; one by turning into mist, the other by running away directly.
"Coward!" shouted the Crusader, a powerful light surrounded his sword, and Ares broke her neck.
Victor prepares to blast them with magic when a nearby pine tree falls. By this time, the rumbling had become deafening as the perpetrator was already nearby.
The vizier barely spared a glance at the massive creature as it shattered everything in its path, its metal frame glowing with magic... a twisted copycat knight who looked like Rollo's big-bad brother.
His [Monster Insight] activated on its own.
