Last Shelter Online

[Giant bunny dolls have been destroyed 10/10]

[Time remaining: 00 minutes 25 seconds]

“Hahhh… hahhh… That’s how you destroy those creepy bunny dolls!”

Ding!

[You have successfully completed stage 2 advancing job class]

Hiro was teleported again, leaving the Training Area fill with the remains of the giant bunny dolls that had been shattered to pieces. In front of him stood NPC Louis, who greeted him with a smile.

“You’re the first player who completed this quest! Great! I thought the quest was too impossible.” NPC Louis spoke fluently, as if he wasn’t an NPC who only thought using his limited AI brain. Hiro arched an eyebrow suspiciously.

Next, would be the last stage.

If in stage 2 he had to use expensive buffs, Hiro was sure that defeating NPC Fred would not be that easy.

Unlike in the stage 2 where he could try it first, NPC Fred did not provide a trial session. Hiro didn’t know how much power the man had. If only NPC Fred’s strength could be measured with the specified recommended BR of 35,000, then Hiro was already above the man and he could beat him.

However, it was just a recommended BR. What if NPC Fred was much stronger than that? Hiro couldn’t be careless.

“Hmmm, let’s see the newbie book again.”

In the newbie guidebook, there was information about the names of NPCs in the LSO world, complete with the coordinates of their location, the time they appeared, and other information.

Hiro found a special page for NPC Fred. He read what was written on the page carefully.

[NPC Fred]

[Barbarian] [Human]

‘Is it the special ability of being a human? In this world?’

[Main Weapon: Durandal (GreatSword)]

[Damage 180 Accuracy 15 Attack Speed ​​10]

[NPC Fred is an NPC that always occupies the main gate of the Training Area in the Beginner Town. He is a barbarian who is very meritorious to the Eternity Kingdom and has been appointed as a sword art teacher to train the younger generation who are chosen as the country’s warriors. His experience of eradicating monsters of various races made him highly respected. Yet, he is friendly and loves to collect rare items.]

Hiro didn’t get any information that could help him other than Fred’s weapons and NPC skills from that page.

“Hmmm… in terms of weapons, the Blood-Eater Vampire is far superior. But still, what makes it so special?”

NPC Fred was in front of him. Hiro only stood two meters away and watched him from head to toe. Other players passed by and spoke to NPC Fred frequently. It seemed they were also players who wanted to upgrade their job classes.

“Did you give up?” Spyro repeatedly asked the same thing, as if it was only there to ask Hiro that question.

Hiro looked at the baby dragon in annoyance.

Sitting there was just a waste of time. The buff from Popeye Spinach Can was only 15 minutes left, and Hiro wanted to beat NPC Fred immediately without needing to buy the buff again.

“Come on, Hiro. We don’t have much time!”

“Shut up and let me think!”

Hiro felt a little annoyed and wanted to seal the baby dragon’s mouth so it would shut up.

No clues. No walkthroughs. Nothing. Hiro even began to think that he would be the first to challenge an NPC Fred to a duel.

He opened the marketplace again to look for items he could use. Just in case something unexpected happened. After all, Hiro had to clear this stage or else he would be wasting his time today.

But, something bothered him.

A transparent screen appeared in front of Hiro, blocking his view of the items that Ninecent was selling in the Marketplace.

[Update Announcement]

[Grand opening battle arena for player(s) vs player(s)]

[Weekly quest featuring: Guild War, Tower of The Death, Strongest Party Guild Battle]

[Server requirements: World level 45, Active Guild is more than 2]

[Server will be shut for maintenance!]

[Countdown: 47 hours 59 minutes 58 seconds]

“Damn! Only two days left!” Hiro suddenly felt the god of luck had left him. His eyes drifted to Spyro.

Meanwhile, Spyro seemed to ignore him.

“I told you. We don’t have much time,” it said while looking away.

Hiro was ready with items in the marketplace. He also bought battle buffs, which were very useful to increase his winning percentage against NPC Fred. He had to give up 2,500 LSC in total to buy those buffs.

Next, Hiro rushed over to NPC Fred and asked him to talk.

[You have challenged NPC Fred to a duel. Are you sure you’re going to do it now?]

There was no time to back off right now.

“Yes.”

[You will be teleported to the Training Area]

Again, Hiro was back on the sandy field he just left a few minutes ago. This time, there were no more giant bunny dolls swarming around him.

In front of him, standing mighty with a sword pointed at him, NPC Fred looked very ready to be his opponent.

Hiro prepared himself. With the addition of the item buffs he had used before being teleported to that place, Hiro felt that his body had undergone a slight change. The proportion of his muscle increased, and he could feel a tremendous energy, as if it was exploding within his body.

“Show me what you have, Player NightFall!”

Hiro gripped the hilt of his sword tightly at NPC Fred’s words. He had to stay focused before dashing toward NPC Fred to start the one-on-one fight.

[Ready?!]

[3…2…1…]

[Battle Start!]

Dang!

Along with the sound of a bell that came from out of nowhere, Hiro immediately dashed forward. At the same time, NPC Fred did the same. A clash between the two swords was inevitable.

Clank!

Hiro could feel a powerful boost from the energy possessed by NPC Fred as their swords clashed. It was as if they both had equal strength.

“Damn it. How can he be this strong?!”

Bang!

Hiro threw a sidekick towards NPC Fred’s waist, but NPC Fred quickly jumped up, while back rolling to dodge the attack.

For the first time, the movement of NPC Fred, who was too agile for an NPC with a GreatSword weapon, made Hiro suspect the NPC had martial arts skills as well.

“Spyro.”

Hiro got additional strength from Spyro, who was flying low by his side. Without wasting time, Hiro dashed towards NPC Fred while raising his sword.

Bang!

The two swords continued to clash with each other until sparks came out of their rubbing blades. Even though at the beginning NPC Fred had the same physical strength as Hiro, it seemed NPC Fred’s stamina wasn’t that special. It could be seen from the swing of his sword that had slowed down after dozens of slashes.

Clank!

Hiro jumped back to prepare his sword combo skill. It took him a few seconds to attack NPC Fred again. A faint smile spread across his face when he saw that NPC Fred didn’t rush towards him. The man used the time to catch his breath instead.

“I can see my victory right in front of my eyes.”
