The Golden Experience Point [Part 1]

Chapter 191: "The Angel Attacks"

The third event is finally starting.

However, Wayne and the others don't plan to do anything special, just challenging the Bone Dragon of Erntal using experience point bonuses and reduced death penalties.

Although they are only a level 2 threat, they wanted to confirm their combat power against the angels, who have the means of flight and whose impact on battles is uncertain. So, they waited in the nearby town they've been using as a base in Erntal.

This town serves as a bridgehead for conquering the surrounding dungeons, almost like a frontline base, and many players try to protect it from the angels. There are definitely more players here than there were in Erfahren at the start of the open beta. Wayne and his group don't need to protect it, and once the confirmation is done, they plan to go to Erntal.

"Hey, look over there! Something is flying towards us."

Gil pointed in the direction where a group of birds-like creatures was approaching.

Wayne, aiming to be an all-rounder, has taken [Visual Enhancement], but due to the distance, they still appear quite small.

"No, it's different... They were originally small. Are those really angels?"

"I was checking on social media, and it seems they are indeed angels. Oh, I can see them now. It's definitely confusing. But in other towns, it looks like they are already under attack, and they are the target of this event."

A winged human appeared from high above.

"... Is that a child? Is this okay? Has it passed the ethical review? Is it an enemy we can attack?"

"In a way, it looks like the image of an angel. Wasn't that the trademark of a candy maker called Something-something? More like mayonnaise..."

"Gil! Here they come!"

Even if the players were confused, it didn't matter to the angels. The lovely angels had grotesque expressions that couldn't be imagined from their silhouettes, attacking people in the area.

Since this town has more players than NPCs, currently only players are under attack, but if the number increases, NPCs will likely be affected too.

"Alright, if they are attacking, we have to fight back! [Thunderbolt]!"

Wayne's arrow of lightning pierced one of the angels and brought it down. It was the most basic attack magic among the [Lightning Magic]. It didn't take it down in one hit, but it dealt substantial damage, interrupting its flight and causing it to fall to the ground.

"This is tricky! Here!"

Gil stabbed the fallen angel with his sword. It wasn't his intention, but he ended up with an unpleasant role for Gil. They should have aimed for a single strike instead of attacking halfway. With Wayne's current strength, they could easily accomplish that.

"Oh? It disappeared... but there's something left, an item. They disappear, leaving drops, huh. Well, that's a relief. It's probably too high a level to dismantle... "

"[Blaze Lance]! If the body disappears, there shouldn't be much psychological resistance after the initial impact."

"Yeah, it feels the same on social media. If they allowed dismantling, there might be regulatory issues."

"Stop looking at social media and fight, Mayonnaise!"

"Sorry, sorry. I'll do it now."

While flying and attacking, their appearance and difficult-to-hit nature make angels troublesome, but in terms of strength, they are not a match for Wayne and his group. With some effort, they can observe their surroundings during the battle.
