The Immortal Player

Chapter 8: How to use a Legendary skill!

[Please don't move! Opening treasure chest ongoing! 98%]

"Thud!" The Troll Commander halted behind Pedro.

"Grrruuuurrrrr!" The Troll Commander screamed like an angry T-rex. It slowly raised its wooden club.

[Opening treasure chest completed!]

'At last!' Pedro took all the items found inside the treasure chest and placed it in his inventory.

"Baaaaaag!" The wooded club of the Troll Commander smashed to the ground and made rocks fly everywhere.

"Grr?" All the Trolls, including the commander, were shocked to the point that their eyes were about to pop out of their sockets.

[Player's HP is back to 100%.. ~Undying~ skill has been reset!]

....

Pedro's mouth went agape after seeing the consecutive texts that appeared in his interface.

The wooden club hit his head. For some reason, It slides from hit and was redirected to the ground.

Luckily, the Potion Injector was immediately activated. It instantly consumed an Intermediate Potion that heals for 50 HP.

Coincidentally, the max HP of a level 1 player was 50 HP. Hence, upon receiving the 50 HP heal from the Intermediate Potion, his ~Undying~ Skill was reset. This made ~Undying~ skill to be available again!

'As long as I am level 1 and had tons of Intermediate Potion, I am an Immortal?!' Pedro was able to calm himself. He realized that he did not need to leave the second treasure chest.

'Wait. The Intermediate Potion has a cooldown of two seconds. If that's the case, I can't let my self get hit within those two seconds.'

Now, Pedro learned the two disadvantages of this 'Undying Cycle'.

One was running out of Intermediate Potions. While the other was he need to survive during the two-second cooldown of the Intermediate Potion.

Hence, one factor he needs to consider was the attack speed of the monster. The faster the attack speed the more chance of him being damaged by the monster.

On the other hand, Monster rarely do magic attacks unless they were 'Bosses' of dungeons or such. On top of that, Monsters has a slow casting time.

Hence, only those monsters with high attack speed could deal huge damage to him and may cause his death. With this in mind, Pedro scanned the information of the trolls.

Attack speed value represents the number of attacks the monster can make within a minute.

"Sigh. Good thing it is that slow. 10 Attack Speed, or 1 attack every six seconds. I guess I still have time for the other treasure!" Pedro's eyes shined of greed as his blood started to boil of excitement.

....

The Troll Commander sent another blow. Yet, Pedro remained unharmed. He looked back to the trolls and smiled.

This angered the troll commander. Its bash started to get stronger. But so what? At this point, Pedro still has potions with him. He can still endure several blows from the trolls.

Without the fear of dying, Pedro proceeded to open the remaining treasure box.

[Gold-rated treasure chest detected..]

[You don't have a key to the treasure chest! would you like to forcefully open the chest? Yes or No?]

"Yes!" The blue aura started to come out from his hands. Pedro stood, not even glancing at the troll commander on his back.

[Please don't move! Opening treasure chest ongoing! 1%]

"Grrrurrrr!!" The troll commander kept smashing the wooden club into Pedro every 6 seconds. The ordinary trolls did not dare hit Pedro because they were terrified of the troll commander.

[Please don't move! Opening treasure chest ongoing! 95%]

[Opening treasure chest completed!]

The treasure chest opened up its cover. Pedro immediately snatched all the items inside the treasure chest and stored them in his inventory.

'I must escape now! Though I have some intermediate potions left, my damage output is not sufficient enough to be able to kill even a troll.' Pedro took advantage of the space the trolls gave to their commander out of fear.

He activated ~Scout 1~ and ran his way out. After arriving outside the tent, He swiftly ran towards the direction of the ambush site.

"I did not receive the System notification about the completion of the side quest yet. Could it be?! No. That is impossible. If the two women were killed, the system would notify the failure of the quest." Pedro opened his interface and check the quest information.

[Quest: Rescue! Rescue!

Rating: A-rate

Mission: Rescue the village chief's wife and daughter from the trolls and escape without dying.

Duration: 3 minutes left]

"Great! The village army should already be in the ambush site by now! I can make it!" Pedro glanced back and saw that the trolls were still chasing after him. Thanks to the gap he built earlier, the trolls chasing him were far behind.

...

"Haah! Haaah! Haaaah!" Pedro leaned his shoulder to a nearby tree. He was catching his breath after running full speed away from the troll.

"Who are you?!" A soldier raised his shield and pointed his sword to Pedro.

"Hold on brother~ Haaah~ haaaah~ I am~ haaa~a scout~ sent by~ the~ village chief~ Antonio Kagat!" Pedro raised his hand while clarifying things to the soldier.

The soldier still kept his guard despite his explanation. Other than the village chief, his wife, and daughter, there should be no other civilians around that area. That is why the soldier was still suspicious of him.

Suddenly, Someone arrived and stopped the soldier.

"It is fine. I know him." Antonio patted the soldier's shoulder and pointed to where Pedro came from.

"Go tell the captain to quickly assemble the infantry there. He is a scout and must be returning after being chased trolls. There is a high chance that the trolls will arrive soon! So, hurry!"

The soldier left and relayed the message to the captain. In response, The Captain immediately commanded the soldiers to go into a formation. The infantry soldiers made a spear tip looking formation, while the archer soldiers behind were ready to fire at will.

"I'm glad you're fine! Let's go near Captain Aks!" Pedro followed behind Antonio until they reached the centermost area of the formation. There, He spotted the two women that were being treated by the medical soldiers.

"No words can express how grateful I am, young adventurer! You saved my wife and my one and only daughter! I have not forgotten my promise to you. When we return to the village, go to my office. I will give you the reward that I promised. For now. Let us kill those b@s@@rds who dare kidnap my family and kill our troops!" Pedro's eyes shined bright.

'Accepting the quest was a good decision.' Pedro smirked as he prepared himself for his rewards.

[Quest: Rescue! Rescue!]

[Completed!]

[You have rescued the village chief's wife and daughter from the trolls and escape without dying!]

[Generating Rewards!]

[Reward:

500 Reputation points of Kagat Village

2 Silver Coins]

[Congratulations Player "Death" for obtaining 1200/1000 Reputation points of Kagat Village!]

[Player's social status has been changed to 'Revered']

[Player is now qualified to request for a Recommendation Letter from the village chief!]

A series of notification appeared that shocked Pedro and made him slightly jumped.

"Hmm. I am just playing for only 2 hours, and I feel too tired! At least, I got my self a new skill and a ton of rewards!" Pedro scratched his chin and smiled after checking the time in his interface.

The time ratio is 1:2, 1 hour in real life is equivalent to 2 hours in the game. Hence, 1 day in the real world is equal to two days in the game.

Just as he was about to check the items he got. The trolls have finally arrived.

"Ready!" Captain Aks shouted, waiting for the right moment to charge.

"Chaaaargeee!" Captain Aks shouted. The infantry soldiers rushed forward to the trolls.

There was only 20 infantry soldier while there are only 11 trolls. There were 10 troll warrior and 1 troll commander.

Discarding the troll commander, the face-off would be 1 troll warrior for every 2 infantry soldiers. Pedro stood and watched as the battle began.
