Versatile: Alternate World 82 Chapter 82

The Graio Swamp as expected is crowded. All mobs were swept clean by players. Many are currently surveying the whole place for a hidden NPC around the nooks and corners of the first area of the Graio Swamp. Players on the area are distinguished as some of the Green Spiders ganged a few players that acted solo and did not know that an ambush was already planted by the monsters. Therefore, many careless players were sent to the cathedral immediately. If they are in party and has a cleric on standby, well, they are lucky as they revived them after being killed.

"Hey! Don't just hit that stupid spider! Support my flank! I can't keep up any longer!" A paladin holding a shield groaned as he tank up most of the attacks of the monsters in the nearby mushy waters as his teammates were killing monsters.

On another party, high leveled players that seemed to be already experienced on farming the area were hitting the spiders without care and just looks around. A female Druid commanded her followers.

"Look on every nook, they might be hiding on our line of sight and might be missable! Don't let your mouth search! Use your two eyes!" she roared.

Anyways, most of them are randomly shouting here and there. Although they are so small, I can still hear what they are saying. They were practically shouting so been though I don't intend to listen to what they are talking, I can still hear them up in the sky. I did not let Leona fly too close to the area of the sp.a.w.ning monsters. Leona would surely attract too much attention and besides, it was already leaked out that I owned a Gryphon and if they saw one, it means that I was nearby. I even painstakingly changed the Maneki Neko mask into a Kitsune Mask with the same effects of the Maneki Neko Mask so that players did not know that I am here.

I landed on an area where there are no players have gone into. It was a sp.a.w.n area of the poisonous ragworm, but they don't pose too much problem. While in mid air, I jump from Leona and recalled her before pulling out the Terraform Blade.

I swoop down like an eagle towards the ground. It feels like I did a bungee jumping from an airplane, only without the parachute.

Ha!

Let's go!

I pointed the Terraform Blade towards the ground while channelling my skills on it. The Poisonous Ragworm detected my presence and roared as they waited for my descent.

"Earth Fissure!"

As the blade struck straight to the ground, the skill I casted immediately occurred.

Creak! Crack!

The whole area cracked and the Poisonous Ragworms on the ground were immediately killed.

With the impact of my Earth Fissure safely appearing, it became the force that helped me land safely to the ground. What made me sweat was that, the place I was in was currently not player less. A single girl who is a magician was currently killing monsters here. Of course, I knew this magician because it was no other than Dolly!

'Dang! I never expected to b.u.mp into her!' I roared on my consciousness as I wipe off the dust on my cloak.

Dolly who was currently farming in this area were startled by the sudden appearance of the new player who came into the sky. She quickly raised her Staff and look at me with wary. She did not expect that all of the Poisonous Ragworm in the area were killed without much problem.

"Holy c.r.a.p, who goes there!" Dolly was ready to cast Ice Prison anytime as her hand that is open is emitting a cold chill. Her stance is also the stance she uses whenever she tried casting the Ice Prison or Freezing Prison when it upgraded.

I composed myself and sheathed the Terraform Blade back to its sheath and raised my hands.

"Relax, I mean no harm. Even if you tried attacking me, you can't kill me," I said to her.

"Wow, what an arrogant one, how are you so sure that I can't kill you, hmm?" Dolly was pretty confident on her skills and she is quite sure that any player who tried to mess with her won't get off lightly without any injuries.

"Because I said so, do you have a problem with that?" I said nonchalantly before walking away.

"Hey! Where are you going!?" Dolly was stunned by the sudden abandonment.

"Of course, I am going to the NPC who is giving out the Expansion Quest, do you have a problem with that?" I asked at her.

"Hmph, who do you think you are fooling, I am almost bored staying here without any clues on the NPC giving out quest and you claim you knew where? If that NPC is around here, I wouldn't be this bored... H-hey! I am not done talking! Don't go walking out away from me!" Dolly puffed her cheeks as she followed me.

"Heh, since you are just a newbie player, you don't know where is the quest going to be exactly sp.a.w.ning," I said to her.

"And you think you know? Are you some beta tester?" She raised her eyebrows as she followed me still.

"The beta test did not even go so far to reach this place. It doesn't have any slight clues that will help us here," I said to her as I continue walking.

"If you really know, can I tag along?" she finally asked. That is the keyword I am waiting to hear from her. Time for some extortion!

"You can but I need to get a material drop and an armor you gain on the boss later on once we earned the quest, got it?" I stopped and look at her.

"Tch, you think you are so sure, and if its not true, I won't compensate you alright? Don't you dare extort me if it was not the true quest!" she roared as she aimed her staff at me.

"Of course, I don't go back on my words," I smiled at her although that smile is concealed on my mask.

I did it to her because I knew that her skills would be really beneficial on the boss. I am familiar with her skills and movements so I am very confident that she would be a good a.s.set in the battle. As for the extortion I did, its because I still can't reveal the information that I am Manato. If I did allow her to tag along for free, she would be suspicious and that would be really problematic since she is very good on reading other people.

I invited her into my party and although I don't want to go on party and prefer to go solo, this time, if I want to establish a good relationship on her in game and alter her impending doom, I can't afford to keep it. Still, I need to accept this since in the past timeline, she was not one of the 15 players that gets to earn the chance to get the quest.

She looked at my profile after I accepted her but frowned seeing it blurry on her eyes. Whatever clicking and stuff she do, nothing is happening.

"What is going on? Why does your name, and level are all hidden? I can't see it!" Dolly protested.

I see, so this is the effects of the Anonymity Earrings. The readers were right! This earrings are f*cking OP!

I did not respond to her but walked away. She has no choice but to accompany me.

She followed me towards the area and kills a few Green Spiders.

"Kill a few monsters around, don't let yourself allow players notice that we are going to our destination," I said to her.

Dolly was hesitant but followed my instructions. She didn't want to have her chance to go to the next region and become a pioneer go to waste.

She did as she was instructed and quickly made a good cover while constantly moving towards the lair of the Green Spider Queen.
