Chapter 43: Half-elf with scythe

The match is set, and I choose my character.

○JustAnElfPassingBy (Reaper/Rogue)

-Whoa, a Reaper

-I thought she was going to be an Invokerᄃᄃ

– There were some toxic comments about her being carried

– Can’t be carried as a Rogueᄏᄏ

-The easiest position to ruin the game if you’re bad

“I’m not a Rogue main. I play anything but Invoker.”

– Is that a hate comment towards supportsᅮ

-Leah has a backbone

-Yeah, screw supports

-Basically an all-rounder then?

“I don’t hate people who play Invoker. I just don’t want to entrust my fate on the battlefield to someone else.”

Because there’s a limit to assisting and supporting others.

As I enter the game, my outfit and weapon change.

I become an elf in a black robe, wielding a large scythe.

I swing the scythe through the air once.

This long weapon is much lighter than the spirit bow I used to use.

I could swing this all day.

I enter the dimensional jungle, the area assigned to the Rogue.

-It’s the Ruins of Extinction

-She got the most complicated map

– Isn’t this advantageous for the enemy Thief?

-Is the dimensional jungle map different every time? ᄃ

The light of the setting sun stretches long across the cracked stone floor.

On one side of the path, the wreckage of a collapsed house is piled up.

Along the damaged stone walls with faint patterns, paths spread out like a maze.

“An ancient city in ruins… This place always reminds me of Beltarion.”

Screech!

A chaos parasite, pierced by the tip of the blade, wriggled.

It was a worm with a slimy, translucent body and several tentacles.

“What is Beltarion, you ask? It was a great city of humans. The center of the Kingdom of Belta.”

-The graphics are seriously brutal

– This is why I don’t play Rogue

-What’s with her casually telling a story while catching bugs

– Is this even a story?

“The reason the capital was initially conquered was that the King of Belta was already under the control of a high-ranking demon. The fall of Beltarion sent a great shock throughout the continent, and it became the catalyst for the formation of an anti-demon alliance that transcended race.”

Thud.

After a few exchanges of attacks, the armor animated by malevolent spirits fell to the ground.

-She’s really clean at taking down the magical sentries..

-Not a single wasted movement

– What’s with the HP management while constantly taking down mobs

-Leah, please focus on the story..

– I’m enjoying itᄏᄏ

-It’s kind of interesting because of the background

“Still, it’s not exactly the same as this place. Here, you can see that it’s a ruin caused by the passage of time.”

I pointed the scythe at the dirt and moss that filled the cracks in the stone floor.

And the vines that grew long between the bricks and intertwined.

They were traces of nature breathing new life.

“Ruins caused by war aren’t like this. The walls are blackened with soot, and there are huge craters everywhere. Rusted swords and shields are scattered among the debris. Broken windows and dishes, scattered curtains and clothes… The traces of human life are more vivid.”

– Leah, you’re talking like you’ve seen it

-She probably watched a movie..

– But where is she going now?

-Leah is lostᄏᄏ

-A Diamond 2 doesn’t know the map?

– Uh, if you go that way

“Since it’s a game, shall I give some related advice? Pay attention, Pias who play Rogue. This is a way for Rogues to become very strong in the early game.”

– You went the wrong way!!

-What advice when you don’t even know the map..

– It’s the Oblivion Guardian

-Yeah, that’s the way to the Guardian

– Hurry up and run before it aggros

The Oblivion Guardian was a huge being standing alone deep in the ruins.

Its size was somewhere between a human and a giant.

Its body was covered in armor made of ancient metal and magic, and the surface of the armor was corroded and full of cracks from the passage of time.

A dark, ominous light emanated from the cracks.

Instead of a helmet, there was a black mist on its head, and two ominously glowing red eyes within the mist stared at me.

I approached and swung the scythe with all my might.

-No, what are you doing

– ??

-Why are you aggroing that!

– Sudden trollᄏᄏ

-Dying to a mobᄏᄏᄏ

Whoosh – Whoosh –

Its abnormally long arms and the huge, hook-like fingertips swung wildly at me, as if to catch an annoying insect.

It was certainly fast for its size… but not enough to cover the inevitable openings that its size revealed.

I evade.

I look for an opening.

The opening I seek is not simply a safe place.

It’s the point where I’m out of reach of the opponent’s attack for a moment, but my attack can still reach.

Clang! Clang!

The scythe sweeps through the cracks in the armor.

Slash, stab, retreat, the sound of metal clashing with each exchange of the blade and armor.

-Is she really going to take this down?

– Look at her mixing in basic attacks and skills between movements

– Whoa, that’s close.

-Wow, I’m nervous

– She’s doing well, but one hit and it’s over..

Kwooo!

The creature roars, a wave of energy erupts forward, tearing up the ground.

But I was already behind it.

If I could catch the moment when both of its hook hands retreated backward, I could easily dodge.

The continued slashes of the scythe widen the cracks in the armor.

Finally, the large pieces of armor fall to the ground with a clatter as the mist scatters in all directions.

– Crazy

– She took down the Guardian alone at this time?

– Wow, when she first aggroed it, I thought she was just going to kill herself

-I really didn’t expect that

-How did she do that;;

-JustAnElfPassingBy! JustAnElfPassingBy! JustAnElfPassingBy!

– JustAnElfPassingByᄏᄏᄏᄏ

“See. If you take this down, you can get a powerful buff early on. I don’t think other Rogues do this? So you could say I’m the first to discover it. For those who play Rogue. It’s useful advice, right?”

– ?

– Are you… telling us to do this?

– ???????

– You don’t do it because you die in one hit..

– Professor, are you sane?

-Useful advice (flexing)

– ??? : Why can’t you do this?

– Just dodge everything and hit everything~

“Try it. There are bound to be gaps in the movements that come from a large body, so it’s not that difficult.”

-No, you die if you get even slightly grazed;;

– It’s not a mob meant to be taken down early on..

-This isn’t difficult??

– I’m dropping this lecture~

It’s this easy, and you’re saying you can’t do it even with practice?

Everyone’s so dramatic.

The buff’s effect is a reddish-black mist rising from behind.

I turn my head and check my shoulder.

The effect suits the black-robed, scythe-wielding Reaper quite well.

○MasterBoundAccount (Sorcerer/Shifter): Can the rogue stop playing RPG and gank already

○VeryPositivePerson (Lancer/Destroyer) : Rogue diff **

It took quite some time to take down the Oblivion Guardian, but it’s fine.

The early Guardian buff is overwhelming.

Not only does it add a life-steal effect to skills and basic attacks, but it also increases movement speed.

I move to the main battlefield with ramparts through the dimensional passage.

The lane with the Defender who didn’t criticize me was first.

Flash.

As I emerge from the dimensional gate, I see our team’s Defender fall to the enemy Thief’s dagger.

The Thief and the Blood Knight turn towards me.

In an instant, I’m in a 2v1 situation.

Of course, it was my enemies who were cornered.

With the black mist, I disappear from my original position.

I reappear right next to the Thief.

It was the Reaper’s skill, <Shadow Leap>.

Slice.

The scythe cuts through the opponent’s knee faster than the dagger could advance.

The system doesn’t instantly incapacitate you just because you take damage.

The Thief quickly stabs with the dagger.

The Blood Knight, who tanks through life-steal and uses a greatsword as their main weapon, also joined the fight.

It didn’t change anything.

If anything, taking down the Oblivion Guardian was a bit more difficult.

With the buff, the enemies’ blades couldn’t even graze the hem of my robe.

Slice. Slice.

The huge scythe, changing angles, continues to leave scars on the bodies of the two.

Thud.

The Thief falls first.

Creak.

The tip of the scythe catches on the blade of the greatsword.

It slides up along the blade.

At the end of it was the opponent’s neck.

I twist my wrist, and the blade changes direction, accurately slicing through the neck.

Thump.

The Blood Knight also falls.

I spin the scythe, making the blade point towards the ground.

Like a grim reaper who has completed their mission of reaping life.

{JustAnElfPassingBy has achieved a Double Kill!}

– The Guardian buff at this time is a disaster..

-It’s amazing even considering the buff

– What? Rogue diff? Say that again

-It is a Rogue diff…

– She’s just toying with two Diamondsᄃᄃ

– Are they really Diamonds? How can they not land a single hit

-The level is different

-Queen of Ori… Queen of Ori… Queen of Ori…

– What’s with that mechanical skill!

-Leah, why are you so good? I really don’t know

-GodLeah

SolidSturdy(Warrior/Defender) : Oh Reaper nice

○VeryPositivePerson (Lancer/Destroyer) : Finally ganking, hurry up and clear top too

While the buff was active, I roamed around everywhere except the top lane where the Destroyer was, and grew rapidly.

Based on that growth, I wreaked havoc in the enemy lines every time there was a fight.

Eventually, the game ended before the late game.

-LeahCarry! LeahCarry! LeahCarry! LeahCarry! LeahCarry!

-It’s hilarious how she didn’t gank the Destroyer until the end of the gameᄏᄏᄏ

– You have to pay the price for talking
”
“ᄏᄏ

– Report for verbal abuse~

-Leah is really good..

– Is KDA 17/0/8 for real?

– Taking down the Guardian early on was really amazing

-And the Rogue isn’t even her main position?

-It’s true that she’s this good at other positions too, Leah

“Of course. I’ll show you the combat capabilities of a hero.”

Destroyer, Shifter, Defender.

I showed gameplay of each position in order.

-A disastrous 4-game winning streakᄃᄃ

– What’s amazing is that she carried every single game..

-She even carries with a Defender

-That’s not how you play a tank!!

-Offense is the best defense

– Already Diamond 1..

-She’ll reach Master in no time

-Isn’t this just her smurf account? It even felt like smurfing

『It’s finally time to show us the Enforcer! I’ll learn a lot!』

“Spirit shot to PickedABowWhenIWasABaby! I’m sorry. I’ll show you the Enforcer next time when I get a chance. I still need a bit more practice.”

When I focus, I tend to become silent.

Especially since I was controlling every part of my body while immersed.

Until I get more used to it, or until I’m sure that the Pias will stay even if I stream without talking… please wait a little longer.

『PickedABowWhenIWasABaby donated 1,000 Jellies!』

『It’s okay! I’ll be waiting.』

– I guess she’s a bit lacking in ranged

-Well, she only played melee today.. -It’s only natural that she’s lacking in somethingᄏᄏᄏ

– A spoonful of humanity..

-What she’s shown so far is already amazing
