[Party] Ji9star: Is the 1st generation of ants not well-socialized? Why do they keep spitting and going crazy-

Earth Star seemed to be really weak in the ant cave map. On other days, he was able to fly around here and there and deal damage. But the height of the ceiling was so low that if Earth Star jumped, he would hit his head, making it challenging for him to jump or backflip and move around easily.

[Party] neutaaaa: Earth Star is almost dying right now.

This was ridiculous. How did you get hit by that and get knocked back… Is that the max level?

[Party] Ji9star: Cockroach! Cockroach! Save me!

[Party] ParkRoach: It’s Parkroachㅡ

[Party] Ji9star: But everyone else calls you Cockroach too.

[Party] Ji9Star: Ah, my precious blood

[Party] Ji9star: Thx! >_<

ParkRoach used the HP recovery skill to restore the retreating Earth Star’s blood.

[Party] ParkRoach: Just stay here without rushing to the front.

[Party] Ji9star: But I’m a close-range dealer lol but you’re telling me not to rush out?

[Party] ParkRoach: If you keep doing that, I won’t heal you.

[Party] neutaaaa: Hahahahahaha

[Party] Ji9star: Annoying.

Unlike Earth Star, who repetitively moved back and forth and was in a hurry, CatMeowMeowMeow, who had the least level difference from Yeo-woon, consistently dealt damage. Among the three dealers excluding the healer ParkRoach, it was Yeo-woon who was struggling the most.

[Party] Ji9star: The ants are not dying for real…. The HP bar is so irritatingly high

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: ? The ants might be thinking the same about us haa

[Party] ParkRoach: Well, from the ant’s perspective, they are getting ganged up on by four people right nowㅜㅜ

Even though they had been going through the same map twenty times, Ji9Star was still struggling. To say the least, it was a bit much for a level 250 guy to be knocked back by the boss enemy in the ant nest, a level 200 Queen Ant. Even the healer ParkRoach was not bothered when attacked by the queen ant. Sometimes it even missed.

[Party] neutaaaa: Is Knight Spear supposed to have a low defense?

The Knight Spear was a knight-class job. Knights had the highest initial health after warriors, and they were the top-ranking job in defense. It was hard to understand why Knight Spear was staggering like that in front of the Queen Ant, given their high defense. CatMeowMeowMeow, after hitting the ant with a whip and then stopping as if typing in chat, answered Yeo-woon’s question in great detail.

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: No! Knight Spears are originally tankers, so they have high defense!! It’s a pretty sturdy job… You might not believe it, though haha

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: If we meet later in group PVP, it’s better to infiltrate the enemy lines first, kill weak ones like healers and gunners, and then kill the Knight Spear last to minimize damage!

“…”

What is all this talk?

[Party] neutaaaa: Ah, I see….

There was no need to answer in such detail. Feeling awkward, Yeo-woon bowed his head to the monitor. Anyway, it was clear that Knight Spears were not originally low in defense.

[Party] ParkRoach: But Earth Star is a bit of an exception hahaha. He threw away his defense and went all in on movement speed… Although he’s a Knight Spear, you can think of him as a kind of mutant?

[Party] Ji9star: Mutant?

[Party] Ji9star: Killing a person twice

[Party] Ji9star: Anyway, I’m at max level, but do I really want to die from a boss mob in level 150? Haha.

As soon as Earth Star finished speaking, he was hit by the Queen Ant’s charge skill and flew to the end of the map.

[Party] Ji9star: Damn ant!

[Party] neutaaaa: The person getting attacked by the ant is you, right?

[Party] Ji9Star: No fun.

[Party] neutaaaa: Good job!

[Party] Ji9star: I can’t say anything;

[Party] Ji9star: But it’s not wrong; there’s nothing to sayㅡ

[Party] ParkRoach: Hahahahaha

ParkRoach mocked him while restoring his health. It was a bit perplexing. Considering the significantly high defense inherent to the class and the level difference of over 50, why was he melting away so easily? However, as the Queen Ant’s health steadily decreased, the ant emitted a squeaking sound and died. After shedding its black shell, the ant turned red. Once the Queen Ant died, it transformed into a red Queen Ant, fueled by anger. It was common for boss monsters to strengthen after two awakenings.

The Earth Star flew with a spear that shimmered like a shadow and struck the queen ant in succession before being attacked by poison. And then he hid behind Yeo-woon in a huff and recovered his stamina.

[Party] neutaaaa: Excuse me

[Party] Ji9star: What?

Can he say this? After hesitating for a moment, Yeo-woon realized that there was no need to be considerate of Earth Star and entered the chat.

[Party] neutaaaa: You’re in the way

[Party] Ji9star: …?

Earth Star stopped in the middle of the map, surprised, and used a shocked emoticon. However, during his emoticon use, he was hit by the Queen Ant again and flew away. Earth Star seemed to show more instances of rolling around to escape from attacks than using skills.

[Party] neutaaaa: Because of you, the skills mewmeow were using now are being ruined.

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow cat: Meowmeow…

[Party] Ji9star: Lie; Please say it with your mouth, am I bothering you now?

CatMeowMeowMeow also stopped in the center of the map. After a moment of contemplation, he lifted a blue speech bubble above his head.

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: Haha, honestly, you’re a bother.

[Party] Ji9star: Wha-….?!

[Party] ParkRoach: Hahahahaha

[Party] neutaaaa: You’re not helpful; can you just stay back?

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: Let’s go!!

[Party] Ji9star: I can’t believe I heard all this from a noobㅜㅜ

[Party] Ji9star: It’s a shame for the family…

Earth Star sed a crying emoticon, then stopped advancing and began to contribute to the fight from a distance.

[Party] Ji9star: But I’m really strong in PVP…

[Party] Ji9star: Everyone doesn’t want to meet me as an opponent>_<

[Party] neutaaaa: Who asked?

[Party] ParkRoach: Hahahahahaha

[Party] Ji9star: I was talking to myself;

[Party] neutaaaa: Oh, sorry. It reached me…

[Party] neutaaaa: Please keep your muttering a bit quieter.

[Party] Ji9Star: What are you talking about;; I can’t even hear you, and you haven’t said a word.

[Party] neutaaaa: Oh, you’re using the map alone.

[Party] Ji9star: Beat the antsㅡ If you keep doing this, you might get attached at this rate.

[Party] ParkRoach: With whom? Haha

[Party] Ji9star: With the ants;

[Party] neutaaaa: Oh, again haha If you had said it was me, I would have killed you?

[Party] Ji9star: This is ridiculous.WhywouldIbeattachedtoyou? It’s really annoying.

[Party] ParkRoach: Use spacing lol.

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: You guys getting along well lol

[Party] Ji9star: CatMeow, seriously?

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: Why are you saying that to me again?

Certainly, Earth Star seemed particularly vulnerable in the ant cave map. It didn’t pose such an obstacle on other maps. It seemed that the narrow and challenging terrain was a considerable penalty for the Knight Spear.

Watching the Queen Ant die again and transform into the third final boss, Earth Star retreated to the far left of the map, hiding behind ParkRoach. It was the first time he had seen a close-range dealer using a healer as a shield. The blue-tinged ant emitted a speed-reduction debuff and poison debuff simultaneously.

CatMeowMeowMeow slid behind the ant and applied a restraining effect. As Queen Ant stamped her feet in place and released her breath, Yeo-woon took advantage of the moment and used skills consecutively while receiving ParkRoach’s healing in between cooldowns.

It was then. A loud voice filled with cheers and slogans like ‘Cheer up!’ or ‘We are the winning side!’ burst from the computer speakers. The culprit was Earth Star, and the sound came from the emoticons he used.

Earth Star’s character stretched both arms above his head, waving a sparkling cheering item, and at the same time, he jumped up and down. Seeing that there were not just one or two slogans, it seemed like he had all kinds of cheering emoticons.

[Party] Ji9star: Defeat the ants!

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: ?

[Party] Ji9star: Ants, fighting!

[Party] neutaaaa: ;;

[Party] ParkRoach: Looks like he’s finally gone mad…

Earth Star used a series of loud emoticons, cheering for the scene where two dealers lower in level than him and a level 240 healer were attacking the Queen Ant. Eventually, the Queen Ant, tired of turning blue and making its last stand, collapsed with a sound, and item pouches popped out of the ant’s corpse. With no more items to obtain from the ant nest, the three Poseidon guild members waited for Yeo-woon to pick up the items one by one.

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: Neuta, you level up really fast… Did you use an experience potion?

[Party] neutaaaa: I used a 500% experience potion and a quest reward triple experience potion.

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: Ah, that explains why you’re leveling up so quickly haha.
