Chapter 35 - Kynel
1745 Words
After fighting for approximately 20 minutes against a crowd of Goblins and Hobgoblins, Rudy had won the Man vs Army battle with the remaining Health threshold of 7%. Therefore, he is currently resting under a large tree to recover his lost Health.
While waiting for his Health to recover, Rudy has made thousands of Health Potion I which are ready to be marketed in the Axie Forum. Now he is looking through his Inventory figuring out which items can be sold and which Items are needed later in the future. Most of the drop items that he gets are trash, but that's not all.

There are many more items that have been obtained, but the rest are just trash items. Maybe Rudy should sell it at the Material shop in Livetuna City at a cheap price than throw it away and make no profit at all.
Rudy also carefully analyzed Blackstar. Even though every minute of fighting, he gets 1% exp for sure, that doesn't mean you have to rely on the buff.
Then, Rudy also had time to practice Blackstar's Ability which is Magic Devour through the battle against the Goblin Shaman. According to the explanation panel, the magic cast by the owner of the Mage Class Job or the like can be absorbed by Blackstar, and he can choose between converting it into Energy or casting it back to attack the enemy.
In the end, Rudy chose to cast magic that was devoured by Blackstar and burned several Goblins to death. The magic used by the Goblin Shaman was fire elemental magic, it was natural for the monster to be burned to death.
Before players take the Mage Class Job or the like officially, the Mage Class Necklace will provide several choices of elements that players want to use before getting the Job Class. Each player who chooses a Job Class such as Mage can only have one element for the types of skills and magic that can be learned later, but that number will increase by one when the player reaches Gold-Class.
However, it is different if a player gets an Elemental Rune that allows the player to learn and use certain elemental skills without having to become a Mage or the like. It's just that this Elemental Rune is quite rare and can only be found in certain locations and monsters in the world of Axie Online.
The use of this Elemental Rune is similar to the Skill Emblem, but the Elemental Rune is in the form of a stone inscribed with a glowing symbol. Usually, Elemental Runes can be obtained when defeating a Dungeon Boss or certain high-level Boss Monsters and even then it is still very rare to drop as a drop item. This item is almost as rare as Dual Wielding Skill Emblem.
If this item is found and sold by a player, believe that the price can reach 100 million earth federation currency with a minimum value of 10 million earth federation currency.
Even though Rudy knew Elemental Runes could be sold for that price, he wasn't really interested because he couldn't find the Item even with his extraordinary luck factor.
"Alright, my level has increased and my Health Bar is almost fully recovered, I guess it's time for me to join the player version of Livetuna City's defense force."
Rudy meant the 'player version of the Livetuna City defense force' was a group of parties that might be called Raid troops to deal with the onslaught of monsters due to the Monstrous Event.
After stating that in midair, Rudy changed into the best equipment he could have and started jogging towards Livetuna City. Blood Bear Leather Armor, Hobgoblin's Cloak, Ice Golem Boots, Ice Golem Gauntlets, Wild Boar Fur Helmet, and Ironforge Sword obtained from the Level 10 Bonus Treasure Box.
Blackstar is quite conspicuous if he is used in this battle and can invite many players to snatch it from Rudy's grasp. Even he started thinking about using Blackstar if circumstances forced him.
After all, Rudy may keep Blackstar in the Bank considering that if he dies there is a possibility that the Black Star Sword will fall as a drop item and be taken by someone else. Blackstar will probably be taken when he has obtained the Item Lock Stone.
Item Lock Stone is a dull gray stone engraved with a key. By using this item, the user can select the item they want to seal so that the item doesn't disappear into a drop item when the owner dies and gets a penalty.
Item Lock Stone itself is quite popular among professional Axie Online players and it is the obligation of one of them to have or use at least six Item Lock Stones so that valuable Items or Equipment do not fall as item drops.
Then after some time, Rudy had arrived in front of the entrance gate of Livetuna City. From within the gate, rows of fully equipped players could be seen flocking in the same direction. Most likely this group is "Livetuna City's version of the defense team", which Rudy meant.
Rudy immediately joined the back row, because there were only about 50 players there.
When Rudy joined the back row, he saw a player who seemed to have a hooded Mage Job Class carrying a Magic Staff whose face looked lethargic and full of problems. For some reason, Rudy, who felt attracted to the player, approached and greeted him.
"Hey, you look gloomy compared to the others. What's wrong?"
The Mage was a little surprised to be approached and greeted by a foreign player, but he answered Rudy's question in a relaxed tone and seemed serious and deep.
"Ah, just a small problem. Everyone in this Raid already has their own party to attack Viredeta village which is said to be the base of the attacking monsters, but I didn't get a single party."
Rudy subconsciously narrowed his eyes after hearing this 'Viredeta Village' from the Mage. Rudy remembered that there was an item that read 'Viredeta Village' which he had just gotten from killing a Hobgoblin not too long ago. Yes, it is Viredeta's Teleportation Scroll
Rudy seemed to think about the possibility that the Mage's conjecture was correct, after learning that the Goblins and Hobgoblins he fought earlier dropped the Viredeta Teleport Scroll. Mob monsters can carry valuables like that? Isn't that a little weird?
Thinking that Rudy subconsciously shook his head slowly expelling his strange thoughts. Instead, he started to weigh the pros and cons of having a party with Mage players in front of him after remembering the Raid feature, players had to throw a party to be able to use the special Raid feature.
"Then will you form a party with me?"
"Eh?"
The Mage player's steps stopped for a moment when the question left Rudy's mouth. His expression showed that the figure was extremely shocked by what he had just heard.
"What's that?"
"Ah no, I'm just surprised. So far no one has ever invited me to a party, not even my friends have invited me to play this game."
Rudy subconsciously widened his eyes slightly in surprise, but he remained calm and answered.
"So what? Is there something wrong with you?"
"They told me it was useless because they didn't really understand the game. When they formed a party, I was kicked out."
"Ah, in any game there is that type of player."
Rudy only smiled wryly after hearing the Mage's reasoning. He also felt the same when he first played the MMORPG game on his cellphone, but he didn't mind it. Unlike the Mage in front of him after experiencing firsthand how he was dumped right before his eyes even though it was only a virtual world.
Rudy didn't answer and did something about the panel that appeared in front of him. Within seconds, a slightly different panel suddenly appeared in front of the Mage's face. He looked very surprised.
"Th-that, are you sure you want to party with someone like me? I also chose the Demon race that many NPCs here hate."
"It doesn't matter. What's important to me is a party mate who can support each other even if it's just a little bit."
Hearing Rudy's answer, the Mage looked moved and shed tears. The Witch Man walked slowly towards Rudy and stepped together following in the footsteps of the players who wanted to invade Viredeta Village.
"My name is Rudy. What's your name?"
"I'm Kynel. Even though it's just a pseudonym in the game, nice to meet you."
"My name is also a pseudonym in the game, so nice to meet you, and please cooperate for some time."
Kynel lifted his face and let his hood down revealing a beautiful face, purple hair, red eyes with cylindrical pupils, two small horns on his forehead, and a sweet and cheerful smile to Rudy.
"The hell!"
Rudy, who saw the appearance behind the hood covering Kynel's face, was pensive since his heart almost stopped. Her face was slightly red and her lips curled into a dry smile.
Rudy really didn't expect that his current party mates were female players.
