The Final Boss Has Returned 111

Chapter 111

[Hul Lycansrope……! But what is that?]

[He’s talking about werewolves, werewolves;;; Ugh, look how ignorant he is;]

[Hey, he could not know. Are you a tryhard?]

[A tryhard pretending not to be a tryhard]

[Then when this quest is over, will the werewolf also be a new race unlocked like the other race quests Drakan-nim did?]

[Hul if werewolves are unlocked, I have to try it right away. The wildness is awesome~]

Lycansrope!

As soon as I announced that the quest was to find their whereabouts, the chat window sparkled incessantly.

It seemed like the users knew by now.

That every time I completed a race quest, that race would be released as playable.

Since unlocking new content was always welcome, I understood why the users were cheering.

But that wasn’t the problem right now.

The problem was, where the hell were those werewolves!

“Wherever I go, it’s just wasteland, wasteland.”

I muttered as I looked at the endless horizon.

[I’m getting sick of seeing the same scenery;]

[Doesn’t this look like a desktop wallpaper? lol]

[Oh, now that you mention it, it’s kind of similar?]

[What nonsense, it’s not similar at all;;]

[But when do the werewolves come out? I came to the broadcast because they said werewolves were coming out, but what kind of landscape broadcast is this;;]

[Since you just joined, you’ve really suffered a huge loss lol It was freaking hilarious until just now lol]

The viewers watching the live broadcast continued to post their impressions in the chat, as always.

Anyway, there was a lot of talk about how vast the Ard World was, but this other world called the Broken World felt even bigger than the Ard World.

Fortunately, the minions of the Hive Mind or the Conquest Lord or whatever they were called hadn’t shown themselves yet, but at this rate, we were going to be exhausted before we even found the Lycansropes.

It was more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack!

At least Seoul was small, but this world called the Broken World was definitely at least the size of Earth.

Where the hell were we supposed to find them?

It felt worse than finding a needle in a haystack.

I opened the inventory.

The Tainted Moonstone Necklace was still there.

It behaved itself when it popped out of the inventory on its own, but now it was obediently back in the inventory, which meant we were supposed to use it to find those werewolves somehow……

Just as I thought that far.

“Drakan-nim.”

Eugene, who was in front of me, called me.

“What is it?”

“Maybe, if you don’t mind…… How about trying this item?”

Eugene said that and handed me an item.

It was a small compass, about the size of my palm, decorated with silver.

[Party member ‘Eugene’-nim is trying to transfer ownership of the item ‘Compass of Fate’ to you.]

[Would you like to receive the item ‘Compass of Fate’?]

Compass of Fate?

It was an item name I had never heard of before, but judging by the name ‘compass,’ it was likely a detection item used to find something.

And if it was a detection item, it was the most necessary item in this situation where the goal was to find something.

“Let’s try it.”

[You have acquired the item ‘Compass of Fate’.]

After acquiring the Compass of Fate from Eugene, I placed it on my right hand and immediately checked the item information.

[Compass of Fate] [Grade: Legendary]

[Category: Consumable]

[Durability: None]

[A compass that is said to always point to the place where a broken bond exists.]

[If you resonate an item with the bond you are looking for, the compass needle will point to the place where the bond resides.]

[Uses: 1/3]

The grade of this item, which sparkled in silver, was Legendary!

It was a Legendary grade consumable item, which was a rare sight.

Since it was a consumable, it had no durability but instead had a limited number of uses, and the remaining uses were only one!

That’s right. Eugene had handed over a Legendary grade consumable item with only one use left to me.

‘He’s such a sucker.’

He readily handed over an item that would cost at least a hundred million won, even considering it was a consumable!

Seeing that, I realized once again how much of a sucker Eugene was.

Or maybe he was beyond being a sucker, perhaps he had reached a certain realm of being one.

Anyway, the important thing now wasn’t that Eugene was a sucker, but that I could finally stop looking for a needle in a haystack.

Compass of Fate!

If I sensitize this item with the ‘Tainted Moonstone Necklace’!

I will be able to find the Lycansrope in the Broken World.

Finally, the key to clearing the quest was in my grasp.

Smirk.

The corners of my mouth rose slightly.

[What? Why are you smiling? What are the item options that make you smile??]

[Hul, what kind of item is this?]

[I’ve never seen it before?]

[Drakan-nim. Please share the item information!]

Of course, the viewers were clamoring for me to share the item information.

When you start a live broadcast on Ard Live, the in-game information that other users see, such as the status window, item window, and quest window, are not broadcast in real-time streaming unless the streamer has set the sharing settings separately.

I quietly manipulated the item information window and shared the options of the ‘Compass of Fate.’

[Hul; Look at the options, they’re crazy lol]

[Wow, so that’s the kind of item top rankers carry around;;]

[This is the first time I’ve seen a Legendary grade consumable item lol crazy lol]

[But he gave that for free???? Wow;;]

[Why are you so surprised? Don’t you know our Eugene-nim is originally a generous person?]

[Generous my foot, he’s just trying to clear the quest together since he shared the map……]

[Ah, the black cow is here again? Aren’t you tired of it?]

[This chat cannot be read by Eugene’s fans.]

As soon as I shared the options, the viewers were surprised to see the item information!

I looked at the chat window, quietly opened my inventory, and took out the Tainted Moonstone Necklace.

Woooong!

As soon as it came up in my hand, the Moonstone Necklace vibrated, emitting an intense violet magic.

I held the Moonstone Necklace in my left hand and the Compass of Fate in my right hand, and then placed the Moonstone Necklace in my left hand directly onto the Compass of Fate.

At that very moment.

Woo-woo-woong!

The compass and the Moonstone Necklace resonated, and a notification window appeared before my eyes.

[An item imbued with fate has come into contact with the Compass of Fate.]

[Would you like to use the Compass of Fate to trace the lingering traces of fate within the item ‘Tainted Moonstone Necklace’?]

[Current remaining uses: 1/3]

It was a message asking if I wanted to use the compass right away.

“Use.”

[The Compass of Fate is searching for traces of broken fate.]

[All uses have been consumed. The item will disappear when the guidance is complete.]

Along with the notification, the needle of the compass glowed silver and spun, then pointed in one direction.

I smiled as I watched the scene.

The time had finally come to escape this dreadful wasteland.

“Dice.”

[You called, Apostle-nim.]

“From now on, go in the direction I indicate.”

[I shall obey your command, Apostle-nim.]

I ordered Dice to go in the direction the compass was pointing, and soon the Bone Wyvern’s head turned 180 degrees.

Now, it was time to go meet the Lycansrope.

▄ ▄ ▄

Compass of Fate.

We had to fly for a long time in the direction the needle pointed.

Except for one time when Dice ran out of magic and we had to land and rest for several hours, we were constantly in the air!

It seemed like the Broken World didn’t distinguish between day and night, as we finally reached the area where the Lycansrope tribe’s settlement was presumed to be after listening to the surround sound of thunder from the constantly cloudy sky for a long time.

We crossed the wasteland, passed over an unidentified mountain range that soared higher than the Skyreach Mountains, the highest in the Ard World, and finally found a dense forest of purple trees.

For reference, the number of viewers hadn’t decreased despite the non-stop broadcast that had been going on for over ten hours in real-time.

[Wow, the class of this other world;;]

[All the trees are purple~]

[The Winter Forest is all white, but this is the first time I’ve seen purple.]

After going deep into the forest, I finally found the compass needle pointing downwards.

“It seems to be somewhere around here.”

I once again instructed Bone Wyvern to go where the needle pointed, and the moment Dice steered Bone Wyvern downwards.

[Apostle-nim.]

“What is it?”

[A magic barrier.]

Bone Wyvern stopped in place, and his stiff, undead tone of voice reached my ears.

My brow furrowed at his words.

[Tsk, a barrier]

[Eek lol blocked by a barrier lol]

[How will you break through the barrier?]

[Neither Drakan nor Eugene are wizards, oh no, we’re doomed? lol]

[Maybe the Lich will break through it?]

The chat window was already betting on who would break through the barrier, and I glanced at the chat and asked Dice.

“Is there a way to break through it?”

[We need to analyze the structure first.]

The moment Dice answered me.

Fwoosh!

Blood King Nosferatu, who had been flying in the form of a vampire bat next to us, returned to his original form with a burst of bloody magic.

“Lord, leave that incompetent undead alone. Isn’t your faithful servant, Blood King Nosferatu, here? If you give the order, Lord, I can decipher the werewolves’ crude barrier right now.”

Nosferatu greeted me elegantly while floating in the air.

At that very moment.

[Incompetent undead? You talk too much for a vampire who sucks blood from the living like a mosquito.]

“I have nothing to say to a vulgar skull.”

Dice retorted to Nosferatu, seemingly offended, and Nosferatu shook his head and replied.

A sudden competition of loyalty!

[No; this is hilarious again lol]

[Look at him calling him a vulgar skull;]

[This is why I can’t leave this room. I never know when it’s going to explode lol]

[What is it, what is it? What happened? Seems like I missed some fun while I was in the bathroom;;]

The viewers burst into laughter at the sight, and I sighed and waved my hand.

“Stop. Stop fighting needlessly. If there’s a way to break through the barrier right now, it’s right to use it. Go, Nosferatu.”

All roads lead to Rome, but I wanted to sit down and rest quickly since I had been flying on Bone Wyvern all day.

Seeing the same scenery over and over again was mentally exhausting.

“I will obey your command, Lord.”

Blood King Nosferatu, who received my order, bowed politely to me and immediately summoned a blood-red sword in his hand.

‘What’s this? Is he trying to use magic with a sword?’

I heard that Vampire Blood Mages use both close combat and magic simultaneously, so I guessed he was using magic with his sword.

Wooong!

Nosferatu’s blood-red sword began to vibrate ominously.

At the same time, bloody magic was gathering in his sword.

As I was watching him.

“Blood Moon Slash!”

Nosferatu shouted the skill activation word loudly and swung the sword in his hand.

Along with that, a crescent-shaped aura that resembled a blood-stained moon flew quickly and collided with the air.

Kwa-gwang!

With a roaring sound, the seemingly empty air split open, and through the gap, a village filled with cute wooden buildings came into view.

“How is it? Didn’t I say I could decipher it right away?”

Nosferatu’s proud voice reached my ears, but I couldn’t be proud of him.

Because.

“Intruders! Intruders have appeared!”

“Prepare your weapons! Let’s give death to the enemies who dared to invade our territory!”

Thanks to him ‘destroying’ the barrier instead of deciphering it, the Lycansrope tribe were gathering, armed and full of killing intent.

[Eek decipher lol what kind of deciphering is this lol]

[No, this isn’t deciphering, it’s destruction?]

[Are you crazy;;]

[Today is truly legendary in many ways……]

[Well, all roads lead to Rome, but; isn’t this a bit too much?]

The chat window, of course, exploded, and I sighed and instructed Dice to land.

Anyway, I was the contractor of the Demon God, and I had the skills to prove it, and the dark races, including the Lycansropes, were bound to show respect to the contractor of the Demon God, so I hadn’t lost anything.

At least it was resolved quickly.

[Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo!]

Bone Wyvern let out a mournful cry and flew through the barrier split by Blood Moon Slash, landing among the fully armed Lycansropes.

“Humans?”

“Are they really humans?”

“Humans in this world?”

“There are undead and vampires too?”

The Lycansropes, who were full of killing intent just a moment ago, realized that the intruders (?) were a group of two humans, two undead, and a vampire, a combination unheard of in this world. They maintained their vigilance, murmuring amongst themselves, but continued to surround us.

I quietly raised my left hand and used a skill while looking at them.

“Mark of the Demon God.”

A black demonic symbol appeared on the back of my left hand.

It was the symbol that proved I was the contractor of the Demon God.

The eyes of the Lycansropes who saw the Mark of the Demon God on the back of my hand trembled as if an earthquake had occurred.

“Are you truly…… the contractor of the Demon God?”

One of the Lycansropes, an old-looking one who seemed to be the representative of the village, asked me in a trembling voice, and I nodded and replied.

“Yes.”

“Werewolf King Lobo greets the contractor of the Demon God!”

As soon as I finished speaking, the old man shouted loudly and knelt before me.

I smiled as I looked at the old man, no, Werewolf King Lobo, in front of me.

At that very moment.

[You have completed the quest ‘The Missing Lycansrope Tribe’.]

The always pleasant quest completion notification rang sweetly in my ears.
