TAHR Ch 13

He had 7ba028026f no idea 4a976f44cd Dambi possessed 0f5a75f8c7 such a 3791fb915c rare Conimon. More importantly, when c38e654530 did he manage b66ab80693 to fill his c065337fa9 skill gauge?40132f123915b590

To use a Conimon’s skill, you had to fill the gauge through combat. And since it disappeared automatically after a certain amount of time, it didn’t make sense that he could use it now. Unless he hadn’t been fighting the same battles as Jaein…223182e1a0cf5d68

He didn’t know if it was intentional preparation or mere coincidence. But he had a bad feeling that fate would favor Dambi this time.481c3f8eeec17848

Dambi, having claimed the f17ebc690e monster, began clearing the 1fc0b11c32 surrounding area, showing off. Jaein, holding back his f434af5e42 words, stood still and 903cfe9175 glared at him.9f302985a2187e19

‘Not yet, 588f1c9687 it’s not 38bede1385 over yet. If he 88988f2302 fails the d141eab433 taming or f725d21a22 gets a d8d6131e14 3-star, I 00c1f72ad5 win.’b4cfd184da654965

Having finally cleared 9085594b61 the area, Dambi 911e6d962f temporarily bound the 375d6e432f Giant Rabbit he’d 3ee9734f90 claimed and, as d066ef0d02 always, taunted Jaein.5f23c440a50baa09

Jaein remained silent instead of replying. Showing emotion now would be amateurish. The results weren’t out yet, and judging by the circumstances, a high-grade Conimon was unlikely.b3dcd3920b8a493c

There was no way a 4-star or 5-star would appear right after he’d already gotten a 5-star. Blaze wasn’t that easy of a game, so he could reasonably believe in that.85f7dc5a8745e9c3

Dambi glanced at the 835123e498 unresponsive Jaein and immediately 4d0a13a62a entered the taming zone.ccdfb99209469c61

It felt strange to be making such thorough preparations, something he’d only done during the open beta, but since Dambi was going all out, he would too. He needed to show him that the server’s 3rd rank, and the path to the 1st rank, couldn’t be achieved solely through luck and money.1fc34948366d61ff

[General] Mollamolla: 3-star congrats congrats

[General] Mollamolla: How does that hard-earned 3-star taste?

[General] Mollamolla: Must be way better than mine, right?

It felt incredibly satisfying to throw Dambi’s own mockery back at him, especially after all that effort for a mere 3-star. This was why they said justice prevails. He should have known better than to provoke Jaein.12d21c50724a1b7a

A subtle tension, akin to their ambiguous laughter, passed silently between them. It wasn’t quite laughter, nor was it crying; a complex, unreadable smile hung between them.499e82829de914d1

As they stared at each other, exchanging “heh heh”s, Dambi suddenly threw a curveball.96e50ba822804849

Jaein gritted his teeth as he watched Dambi gradually pull away. As always, the Valkyrie’s speed was just too fast. There was a fundamental difference in their base stats, so even with a speed scroll, if Dambi used one too, it was just a standstill. Like now.c50f91e0d9238d84

He’d poured so much gold into getting the best possible attack increase and casting time reduction options. Giving that up just to catch up to Dambi could create problems in speedruns.ee5e32f66a70b36b

The most important factor in speedruns was ‘damage,’ meaning attack power. Movement speed was a trivial option when it came to quickly killing monsters. It wasn’t entirely useless, but since it could be supplemented with scrolls, it was naturally excluded from item options.5c8460b0d3de34c5
