Chapter 422: Battle With the Fire Giant
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Small Distant Town wasn’t very big. Cherry didn’t spend much effort to find the 1 1 Hotel.
It was an inconspicuous location, but Cherry suspected that it was the hiding location for the 2,000 rchant Band guards that revolted!
Cherry brought along Arthur and searched the location, but they didn’t find anything.
They didn’t find any secret basent that could hide 2,000 creatures. Just like that, their investigation stalled once again.
Why was that? Where was the location that the letter indicated?
“Why don’t we ask the shopkeepers?” Arthur suggested to Cherry.
“Ask the shopkeepers? Hehe, Arthur, you’re too young.”
Cherry, who was wearing a coffee-colored windbreaker and a coffee-colored deerstalker, lit up a tal stick and placed it into his mouth. It sizzled, and he puffed out smoke that slled like burnt protein. He said, “The letter said that there is a problem with this shop. According to my speculation, the 2,000 mutinous guards could be hiding inside the shop, making the shop assistant and the shopkeeper potential suspects. Therefore, they can’t possibly provide any leads!”
“But, they have already asked.”
Arthur pointed to the gars who surrounded the shopkeeper and bombarded him with questions.
Cherry quickly walked towards the shopkeeper as he complained about the unprofessional gars.
The gars gave way to Cherry, giving the panicked shopkeeper a breather. When he saw Cherry, he imdiately said, “Are you the new Inspector, Cherry? Thank you. These creatures are making out of breath.”
The shopkeeper was referring to the concerned gars.
“You know ?”
Cherry was surprised. He kept his composure when he saw the gars at the side. He spoke in a low voice as he placed one of his hands on the counter and puffed out smoke. He lowered his deerstalker and looked like a profound detective.
“You are the rare immigrant of this town. We were all talking about you.”
The shopkeeper looked friendly as he said to Cherry, “Yes, I have so information that your assistants were asking for.”
“No, they’re not…”
Cherry wanted to refute, but he noticed the tense aura of the gars. He lowered his tone and deerstalker and said in a deep voice, “So, what information do you have?”
“Ah…” The shopkeeper observed that the deerstalker was almost covering Cherry’s face. He wanted to maintain eye contact as a form of courtesy, but he was unable to do so. He said, “As the rchant Band passed by our Small Distant Town, a creature gave a slip of paper, requesting help.”
The shopkeeper took out a creased piece of paper and passed it to Cherry.
Cherry unfolded the paper and saw the distorted words, “The leader is rebelling. Please save .”
The words were almost illegible, but it contained critical information.
It confird the contents of the diary. The leader of the rchant Band’s guards was the leader that revolted!
“Thank you for your cooperation. After solving the case, I will give you a good citizen award.”
Cherry said to Arthur, “Let’s go. We have a new lead. Let’s investigate the new lead!”
“Wait, Captain.” Arthur frowned and asked, “What lead?”
Arthur’s question stunned Cherry. The paper only confird the validity of the diary, but it didn’t indicate the next target for investigation!
“Captain, I have another piece of paper!” the shopkeeper shouted to Cherry awkwardly.
“Ah-ha, I knew it. This is the lead I’m talking about.”
Cherry looked at Arthur, who was befuddled.
Cherry took the piece of paper from the shopkeeper and saw the words, “Go to the lava caves. The map is in the bank private deposit box 008!”
“Let’s go! To the bank!”
Cherry imdiately walked outside.
…
“So, Cherry obtained the map?”
Sherlock browsed the discussion forum that had screenshots and videos. He examined the map that Cherry obtained from the private deposit box.
Though Cherry labeled the map as confidential, after Arthur posted the content on the discussion forum, it was no longer confidential.
“Bru, what do you think?”
“Lord Sherlock, this is a very good chance. There’s a map left by a loyal Winterfell resident. It’s very likely that the cargo was placed at the marked location. We have to get there before Cherry. The Dungeon Core must be at that location! We can then upgrade the Dungeon, improve the gars’ experience, increase the gar’s count, attack Winterfell, and use it as the springboard…”
While Bru was going on about his “Winterfell Occupation Plan Version N”, Sherlock was focused on the map. He opened up another map provided by the gars after their exploration.
The gars’ map was more accurate and presentable than the one Cherry obtained.
“Bru, what did you discover about the two maps?” Sherlock interrupted Bru’s plan of occupying Winterfell and asked.
“Hmm? The standard of the gars is higher,” Bru nodded and said as he examined the maps.
“No, take a look here.”
Sherlock pointed at the two maps and said, “From Cherry’s map, to reach the destination, the gars have to go through the cave of the Fire Giant.”
“Yes! Tsk, how did the rchant Band’s guards pass through the cave of the Fire Giant? We don’t have a way to deal with the Fire Giant!” Bru said with regret.
Sherlock took out a crystal ball that showed the gars charging at the Fire Giant. While they were distracting the Fire Giant, they created the Mana Formation.
Brainiac was supervising the gars’ work, while Eggface and Polio were playing with the cat ball.
The Mana Formation took two days to be completed.
…
The official website updated the Monster Bestiary. This was the BOSS bestiary.
[BOSS Na: Fire Giant (Leader)]
Level: Leader Level
Description: Only at locations with concentrated elental power will there be powerful Elental Monsters. There are no details regarding the Fire Giant. He can manipulate flas and has the power to destroy the world.
Loot: Unknown
After the gars completed the Mana Formation, the Monster Bestiary was updated. The gars guessed that they were about to battle the BOSS.
The information on the BOSS was scarce, giving the gars no useful information.
That didn’t deter the gars from preparing for their battle against the Fire Giant.
Brainiac infused the Mana Formation with his Mana, and a strange liquid seeped out from the formation.
The liquid wasn’t water. It was a cold and sticky liquid that moved according to the Mana Formation. The liquid stuck to the Fire Giant’s body and transford into a mist because of the high temperature.
The flas on the Fire Giant diminished. It looked as though its fur was cut, and even the temperature of the lava cave fell.
“Take action now! Charge!”
Brainiac didn’t have to give the command. A gar shouted, and they flooded towards the Fire Giant.
The impatient gars didn’t wait for the Tanks to pull the aggro of the BOSS before inflicting damage. Arrows, frozen Arrows, Hurricanes, and even Fireballs were used against the Fire Giant.
The gars who used Fireballs were stopped by other gars, as the Fire Giant looked more energetic after being hit by Fireballs.
Thousands of gars battled the BOSS.
“They look energetic, ow,” Polio said as he fondled the ball in his hand and watched the gars charging at the Fire Giant.
“The Fire Giant is my servant. I’m the Master of Dark Flas!”
Eggface also fondled a ball with his claws as he watched the battle with great interest.
“ow, as long as they’re happy,” Polio said before disregarding the battle between the gars and the BOSS.
…
On the Surface World.
The gars of Victoria City, who were having their Strange Encounter, were ready to set off on their journey as slave warriors.
