[Shocking Real Story) Is there someone who got 2 Mythicals before even starting a quest?!]

No way, lol. Lily’s broadcasts have always been all-time legends, but today, she set a new record again.

I thought it’d be tough since she already obtained one Mythical right from the start, but when I saw it was an open deadline, I knew it was gonna drag on for at least three months.

But since getting a Mythical isn’t easy and everyone usually takes forever, I figured that would be the case. Then suddenly, she asks for one more.

(GIF of “4 dollars!” with a speech bubble edited to “one more!”)

Honestly, compared to Lily’s value, that’s a bit lacking, so I was watching to see how it would turn out, when suddenly, an old noble goes off the rails.

The mood was giving off complete chaos, and I was thought, “Mythical loot is so sweet, lol!”

Honestly, I felt like Lily might return it, but also that she’d take everything she could.

Then, Lily suddenly changes into a middle-aged state and starts calmly throwing down facts, lol.

I was legit scared looking at the screen.

She was speaking so coldly that it triggered my PTSD, damn.

Anyway, the King bows his head and gets one more Mythical.

Originally, they’re received at the end of the quest, but she changed it to advance payment, lol.

The even more surprising part is that she could get one more made from Drak.

Three Mythicals, lol.

One-line summary:

Is there someone who can get 3 Mythicals from just one quest?

– Is Lily a god?

– lol

– God of Transactions, Lily;;

n’t she the God of Plunder?

n’What plunder, it’s a fair trade, haha.

n’If you had a problem, the old noble shouldn’t have acted cocky, where does he get off?

n’For real, lol.

n’For real, lol.

– But can you really get it that way? Did Lily talk her way to 3 Mythicals dropping?

n’It depends on who opened their mouth.

n’It’s ‘Lily,’ after all, lol.

n’No way, that doesn’t make sense. Others work super hard and can’t get it.

n’An average ranker definitely can’t. It’s only possible because it’s Lily.

n’Is it that Lily who toyed with Leo?

n’If I’m using Lady Lily as a merc for almost months, getting 3 Mythicals is a steal, lol.

n’For real, lol.

– So how do you meet Drak?

To meet Drak, you first need time.

Taking examples of those classified as suitable so far, they all lived in or stayed in Talikal for long periods.

Black also said he stayed in Talikal for a whopping 4 months to hunt the World Boss before meeting Drak…
“Well then, let’s start with a request.”

Of course, I can’t wait forever, so I plan to alternate between Talikal and other regions.

The day after the audience.

A middle-aged nobleman with impressive mustaches cleared his throat with a cough!

Crunch! His expensive shoes squished some rotten grass.

In the outer region of Talikal, Derikal.

Unlike the peaceful and fertile central farmlands, the ground where the man stood looked dry and lifeless just by looking at it.

“As you can see, part of Derikal is dead land. It’s due to a gigantic snake that settled in the mountains connected to the farmland long ago.”

“A snake? What kind of snake?”

“A life-eating snake, the Green Serpent.”

The nobleman emphasized the danger of the snake with a serious expression.

“No matter how strong Lady Lily is, that snake is a monster that even the Knights cannot completely defeat. Underestimating it could lead to death.”

Though I’m sure you have more than enough of that.

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

“…Tsk. It will take a fair bit of time, so I’ll return to the Count’s family. Since you are immortal, one week should be sufficient.”

“Please wait here.”

Swiftly, I turned my head to check my position.

No matter the distance, I cannot avoid the gaze of those with celestial blood.

There it is, winding around.

“What is it?”

“It’ll be over soon.”

“Ha! No matter how strong you are, arrogance leads to defeat.”

“I caught it.”

“What?”

How?

The life-eating snake… or rather, just a large python with greenish scales. I caught the Green Serpent.

Time taken: 30 minutes.

Considering the round trip time and the time spent surveying the area and learning about the snake, the actual time spent catching it is practically nonexistent.

Thud.

The head of the giant snake, larger than a bear, dropped in front of the nobleman.

An expression of extreme anger frozen on its face, as though it didn’t even realize it was dead.

The nobleman, who received the head, stared at me with dazed eyes.

With just the tips of my fingers, I spun the green dagger, the Green Hermit.

“Not bad. It truly is a masterpiece.”

[…Why is Lily good with daggers too?]

[Lolololololol]

[If she’s good with daggers too, what do assassins eat?]

[This is absurd.]

[Yena at home is sobbing. Lol.]

[Assassin Lily;;;]

[Yena’s advantage of being good with daggers just vanished. Lol.]

[He cut it cleanly. Did he slice it while it was resting?]

[As an assassin, she’s so good that she could eat up any ranker.]

[Wow.]

[Is he really insane?]

[A masterpiece is nice though.]

I don’t usually use daggers well.
Does not show.

Aside from the precise spear and hammer, I don’t use other weapons well.

The reason is that although the spear and hammer are my main weapons, I’ve only mastered all other weapons to a level that is fundamentally learnable.

Ancient monsters or demons won’t be affected by such ‘clumsy’ weapon skills.

I just used it since I received a masterpiece.

Swish~

Still, perhaps due to the exceptional quality of the weapon, I can take down just about any opponent without any issues.

What’s even more special is one of the weapon’s abilities: ‘Cutting’.

As long as I can strike with a dagger engraved with the power to ensure that whatever has been slashed will definitely be cut, I will land a valid hit.

‘It wouldn’t be mythical for no reason.’

Swish~ Thud.

“Y-you’ve caught it! Congratulations! Ahem! The gold will be paid immediately…”

“Are there no other requests?”

“Excuse me?”

Since there’s still time left, I guess it wouldn’t hurt to do more.

[Request: Assassin Lily]

[Ah, haha, asking for requests]

[Lololololololol]

[Is there really someone that earns 200 gold in 3 seconds?!]

[Assassin Lily is quite rare]

Sugegagagak…

Puhwaaaak!!

‘What on earth…’

Count Letess, who entrusted Lily with her seventh request, ‘Eliminate the Red River Ants’, doubted his eyes at the scene unfolding before him.

According to the information he received, the immortal named Lily was said to be a warrior who uses a spear or hammer to suppress her enemies with overwhelming destructive power.

But…

“It seems this side is done as well.”

She’s fast.

She cuts down dozens of wild dogs-sized ants at a speed that is almost invisible to the eye.

The sharpness that sends chills throughout her body was so keen it felt like it could slice just from sight.

“Ha…”

Her movements surpassed the Shadow Sword of Talikal.

No, she surpasses every assassin I’ve seen so far.

‘She’s like a dark ghost…’

Is this person really a ‘warrior’?

“Ah, Boss.”

In mere seconds, Lily cuts down a hundred ants and a massive one appeared before her.

A size comparable to a small ‘hill’.

The Knights have routinely eradicated the Red River Ants that devour farmland every cycle, but they’ve never been able to defeat that ‘Queen’.

According to an outsider’s standards, it’s a level 90 ‘Field Boss’.

Moreover, it’s one of the powerful monsters that hasn’t been defeated even once in over a year.

Of course, if they mobilized half of the Knights, they might defeat it at the cost of losses, but with war just around the corner, they can’t afford to expend that kind of effort.

If it attempted to ‘invade’ beyond its territory, Talikal would have to face quite a troublesome enemy.
Kiiiii!!

“Ugh!”

At the cry of the Queen Ant, Count Letess quickly covered his ears.

Even though he had come equipped with his own protective magical tools and gear, that deadly sound shook his very being.

‘L-Lily?’

No matter how sneaky she might act, she couldn’t possibly slash the Queen Ant down in one stroke.

According to the information the Knights had gathered, attacking the red wound on the Queen Ant’s chest would temporarily incapacitate it.

It was a blink-and-you-miss-it moment, but if anyone could do it, it would be Lily.

“Seven Cuts!”

‘Huh?’

What just zipped by? Count Letess couldn’t even comprehend the situation.

In the brief time it took to think about the Queen Ant, while he blinked, seven solid lines appeared in the air and, just like that, the Queen Ant’s massive body crumbled.

Fwoooosh!!!

A loud bang echoed as the remains of the now-dead Queen Ant showered down like rain.

At the end of it all stood Lily, the Green Hermit, tilting her head and staring into the void.

She seemed to be smiling, yet something was oddly off as she twisted her hand in a creaky manner.

Letess gulped.

This was all too reckless.

This incident was all about calling Lily to crush monsters that were causing trouble in their respective territories, and this time it was Letess’s turn.

Now that his request was completed, he had to recommend Lily to the next noble.

However…

“Thank you for your hard work, Lady Lily.”

“I think it’s time to call it a day. The next request is in two days…”

“Is there any chance you’d be willing to take on one more?”

That was a monster he could never ask for in a request.

It didn’t venture out of its nest, so it posed no immediate threat, but if it ever set foot outside, it could wipe an entire kingdom off the map.

Above all…

“There’s a beast residing in the snow-capped mountains that border my territory. It always brings severe cold, and during winter, it causes too much suffering for the residents… Ah, if you could just take care of this request, I’ll double your payment.”

“Hmmm… I see. Let’s go right away.”

“Thank you!”

‘Only when the Frozen Blight, the White Dragon Sugarado, is slain will my superficial territory expand.’

Count Letess’s lips curled up into a smirk.
