Chapter 31 : Lizard Swamp (3).

The type of smile that fishermen with a big fish on their hook would make.

She had her worries. Hyrkan’s skills weren’t normal. Although they didn’t take him to be anything amazing, his three Skeleton Warriors were anything but normal. She felt it would be hard to honey-trap Hyrkan with monsters and their beauty.

But her worries did not last long.

For Ilya, it was much more fun to trick players than to hunt monsters. Using her looks and acting skills, she destroyed the inner walls that male players put up and lured monsters to kill them. To her, it was fun to prey on males without having to worry about any potential backlash. It was the type of fun only girls could enjoy, and at the same time, it was something that wasn’t possible in the real world.

At first, it started out as a joke, a bet of some sort. ‘Who can win over that male player first?’ That type of bet. In a blink of an eye, the bet had continued to where she currently was. It had even become the sole reason she played Warlord.

In front of Hyrkan who had put up a thick wall, the fun was multiplied. His cold and blunt response set fire to her sense of challenge. Ilya looked forward to watching him fall more so than the items he would drop.

It wouldn’t be long. Soon, Hyrkan would fall.

‘Two more will be here soon.’

The remaining two were each luring one Lizardman. No matter how impressive Hyrkan may be, it was impossible for him to handle four Lizardmen by himself. If he could, there was no reason for him to be here.

Even more, if a strong magic hit Hyrkan or one of his Skeleton Warriors on ‘accident’?

Watching the Hyrkan’s back, Ilya licked her lips, like a true snake.

‘Ah!’

Imagining the scene, she would soon see; Ilya felt goose bumps on her skin. Although it wasn’t a feeling one could perceive in Warlord, she was sure she could feel it. The arms of her body in the real world would surely be covered in them.

‘I love this feeling so much.’

This feeling. It was this feeling that she paid such a large sum to play Warlord. Such a feeling of euphoria wasn’t one she could feel in the real world. Not to mention, it was an act that wouldn’t pose any legal troubles, a perfectly lawful crime!

Of course, it wasn’t over yet. A fisherman’s work did not end until he cut the stomach of his game.

Ilya stared at Hyrkan and his summoned Skeleton Warriors as they vigorously fought against the Lizardmen.

Crack!

Suddenly, the sound of a hard object breaking struck down like lightning.

‘Eh?’

The scene of Skeleton Warriors helpless against Lizardmen entered her eyes.

‘What’s going on?’

The Skeleton Warriors she had seen so far did not lose out to Lizardmen in a one on one fight. She wondered just how much money one had to spend to make such strong Skeleton Warriors. If she had the money, she even wanted to try out the necromancer class.

But suddenly, those Skeleton Warriors were losing.

They weren’t just losing. They were losing in a completely one-sided manner.

Crack! Crack!

The Lizardmen’s swords were easily breaking the Skeleton Warriors’ bone shields.
