There it is.

This is the entrance to Angel's Playbox.

Recommended level: 50.

Let's use the same tactic!

Let's go! - Yes, Sir!

Sir Elymas, was I useful?

You are.

Ruche, thank you so much for joining my party!

Do you really want this Bear Shield so badly?

Let's collect ten of them today!

No, we have leveled up enough.

Our real goal has just begun.

You have reached level 20.

Oh, you're right! In no time!

Now, we're going after our real goal.

To hunt a Golden Raana!

G-Golden Raana?!

Ribbit.

Raana.

It's the frog monster I defeated for the first time in this world.

It's Magic World's beloved iconic weak mascot monster.

Rampart Reflection!

There are various types of Raana.

One of them is special.

The Golden Raana, it's the one we're targeting this time.

Considering the state of our situation,

I decided that this dungeon is the only feasible place to go next.

The Golden Raana is a shiny golden Raana.

In exchange for their low spawn rate,

once defeated, there's a high chance they drop extremely valuable rare items.

Ribbit.

Moreover, despite their high level, their attack and magic stats are low.

They also have no offensive skills.

In other words!

Their offensive power is low, yet they give a lot of experience points!

And they even drop highly valuable items!

It's a monster filled with everything good!

There are several bonus characters like the Golden Raana.

In Magic World, they are collectively known as the Golden Toads.

Many players said the hunt for Golden Toad was the most fun part of the game.

The Golden Raana has a high spawn rate on the middle floors of Angel's Playbox.

There are routes where they are easy to spot and others with high spawn rates.

I know every monster that will spawn there.

Pardon! Even I have heard of the Golden Raana!

That if you beat one, you can live comfortably for years!

I heard that from the other adventurers at the bar!

Is that so?

It's easier to explain if you know already.

Then they also said...

Hm?

Not only do they move too fast to run after,

but even if our attack hits them, it doesn't seem to do any damage.

While chasing it, many didn't pay attention and got surrounded by monsters.

Then a lot of them fell into an ambush.

Then it is possible...

That there are adventurers who died hunting for the Golden Raana!

Right, I forgot.

This world is similar to the game, but different.

In this world, we die for real.

Naturally, most people build their characters to avoid death.

Even simply hunting for the Golden Raana must be very hard.

The Golden Raana has exceptionally high speed and defense stats.

In addition, it is immune to all elemental attacks and status effects,

or even debuff attacks.

T-Then, we can do nothing to it!

The knife you gave me,

the Ironpiercer may be effective for sturdy enemies,

but it really doesn't seem like it can have an effect on the Golden Raana.

I don't even think my legs can catch up to it.

Well, that's true.

The Golden Raana's speed is 67, and its defense is over 100.

Before that impregnable gold,

No way...

That speed is twice that of fast classes like Ruche, the Pierrot,

and thrice the speed of slow classes like me, the Heavy Knight.

Moreover, its defense stat is 200.

Even if I managed to use Rampart Reflection,

the attack won't even do any damage.

Vital Slice has an effect of 15% defense reduction,

but it is too low to inflict damage.

Excuse me...

Is it actually impossible?

It's fine.

I know the way to hunt it.

Its defense may seem perfect, but there is a loophole.

What?!

B-But do you have a skill that can damage the Golden Raana?

I didn't know that Heavy Knight class has that kind of skill.

Ruche, I am counting on you!

Am I the one to do it?!

Yes, I'll explain it.

Supposedly, now you have eight skill points from the last level-up.

I want you to put them all into the Fool's Acrobatics.

And the two skills you will get from that will be the key to this plan.

B-But wait a sec...

It honors me that you expect so much of me,

but I don't have that kind of power!

All right, Ruche, let's run!

O-Okay!

It seems we can finish it, though. Are you sure?

Yeah. That thing isn't our target.

It will also call for backup in a pinch.

But are you sure you want to make this trip only to go after the Golden Raana?

With your knowledge and stability,

if we kill other monsters,

I think I can level up at least three more levels within the day!

It's fine! Our current level is the most suitable

for hunting the Golden Raana!

Good. They're not chasing us.

I've also taken into account that they'll be hard to find.

Really?

If we keep searching all day, we may finally find two.

T-Their spawn rate is that low?!

However!

The Golden Raana is worth that much.

Gulp!

But no matter how high your luck stat is,

it's not a monster we can easily find.

If you're anxious or feel unsatisfied, you can tell me any time.

It's fine!

I'm just a little concerned.

But I will follow you, Sir Elymas!

Thank you.

But don't hold back, okay?

Let's hunt hundreds or even thousands of Golden Raanas!

I'll show you I can do it!

It's great that she's so enthusiastic.

But if you hunt that many, the Rondalm market price will collapse.

Ribbit.

Ribbit.

Isn't that...

Ribbit.

Ribbit. Ribbit.

Ribbit. Ribbit.

It's the Golden Raana!

Ribbit?

It's fine!

I will follow you, Sir Elymas!

Ribbit.

Ribbit.

Isn't that...

Ribbit.

Ribbit. Ribbit.

Ribbit. Ribbit.

It's the Golden Raana!

Ribbit?

It appeared way faster than I predicted!

I-It's there! It's over there!

W-What should we do?

Take a deep breath, Ruche!

We need to be calm to hunt it down.

Okay!

Ribbit!

Have you used the skill points to raise the Fool's Acrobatics to level 10?

I have!

The two skills that you mentioned,

I have them both!

Okay! I'm counting on you to do as planned!

Yes!

I'll ambush the Golden Raana here.

You go and chase it here.

Ruche? - You'll be fine, Ruche!

I can do this... I can do this... I can do this!

I can do this... I can do this... I can do this...

You see... It's fine if you failed too, okay?

Take a deep breath slowly.

Here I go!

Leave it to me!

The Golden Raana will start running if it detects anyone within a 4-meter range.

And the width of Angel's Playbox hallway is 4 meters.

So even if the Golden Raana is on one side of the hallway,

it can still detect the one at the other side.

But that's only true...

...if you are walking on the floor.

Acrobatic Amble!

Ribbit!

Ribbit!

Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit!

I won't let you go!

Dopellusion!

It can't get around the doppelgangers due to the width of the hallway.

And the cowardly Golden Raana

can't run straight to the doppelgangers either!

Because the Golden Raana is immune to all status ailments,

it cannot be inflicted with Blind or Confusion.

But it has no ability to look past Dopellusion's trick!

That's one of the Golden Raana's status loopholes!

Sir Elymas! It's running to you!

Ribbit! Ribbit! Ribbit!

And the second loophole...

...is that Shadow Stomp is effective!

The problem is whether I succeed in executing it or not.

Although the hallway is narrow, its speed is three times faster than mine!

Its shadow is also only around 15 centimeters!

However!

The one with the plan shouldn't be the one to blunder!

Its healing effect is tiny and rarely used.

But I can use it like this!

Ribbit?

Shadow Stomp!

Got you, Golden Raana!

We did it! Sir Elymas!

This is as good as already hunting it!

Wait, but how do you plan on killing it?

We can only kill it with a critical hit.

Critical hit?!

Delivering a fatal blow after reading the enemy's movement.

Not only does it inflict 1.5 times the damage,

but it also gives 50% piercing damage through the enemy's defense.

I see!

You mean now we have the chance to land as many critical hits as we want?

Please do your best, Sir Elymas!

No, even if my attack is a critical hit,

I can't damage it.

Eh? Huh?

I've said that I leave it to you.

Eh?!

To land a critical hit, you need both skill and high luck.

As I am now, I can't afford to go for a critical hit or move at all.

B-But I have almost never produced any critical hit!

Normally it's impossible.

But you already have that one skill from the start.

It's Dice Thrust.

Dice Thrust?

Look, the problem is

without decent offensive skill, you're only good as a distraction!

You're useless, don't you get it?

I thought you finally got an offensive skill,

but it's even less effective than your regular attack!

It's a defective skill!

That one is...

Skill: Dice Thrust.

A thrusting skill.

and the attack depends on the number that appears.

Wait, you're right. With that one...

That's right! As long as 6 comes up...

It is a guaranteed critical hit! - It is a guaranteed critical hit!

Number 6 in Dice Thrust gives 1.3 times more damage,

and the attack is always a critical hit.

The total multiplication is 1.95 times!

Moreover, there's the Ironpiercer's 15% piercing damage

and the critical hit's 50% piercing damage.

Which means the damage is multiplied 1.95 times

Which means the damage is multiplied 1.95 times

and the piercing damage is 65%, all in one shot!

But will it go well?

Though your role may be peculiar or that you blossom late,

there is no class or skill that is useless.

You can't keep getting caught by others' impression of you.

Cline and the others simply failed to see what you can do at first glance.

Let me say this again, Ruche.

I need your power.

I want you to help me from now on too.

I will do it!

I must answer that expectation!

Or there is no meaning in being an adventurer!

Yes! I'm counting on you!

Dice Thrust!

Ribbit?

I did it!

Critical.

I really did it!

You are now level 27.

I did it!

I reached level 27!

You are now level 30.

but the best part of it is the super expensive drop items!

The drop rate is 50%.

Dazzling Raana Decorative Blade. Attack power +20.

Sale price: 17,000,000 gold.

A dazzlingly bright Raana short sword. A lump of pure Golden Toad.

There it is! The Dazzling Raana Decorative Blade!

As we succeeded in hunting the Golden Raana,

Ruche and I receive a massive boost in level.

But it's still not enough.

It's still not enough to buy that skill book.

Leveling up and collecting gold, it's so much fun!

But, this world is not a game.

Next time: "Wandering".

To fall in this world means true death.
