She couldn’t say that if they didn’t defeat the boss within two months, she would die. The difference between merely reclaiming the country’s former territory and someone’s life being at stake was significant.
If lives were at stake, the burden would be considerable, and rushing could lead to even worse outcomes.
Not knowing Luella’s inner thoughts, Raphael chuckled and made a joke.
“So, are we watching the future Kurang Duke?”
“Yeah, the name Kurang Duke doesn’t sit well with me. Please change it to Romynin Duke. You’ll do that, right?”
She smiled casually at Kite. He, in turn, grinned as he polished his shield.
“Sure, we can’t keep using the name of a traitor. But I’m curious. They said the boss fight was a battle of maxed-out players. What level is that?”
“It’s level 99.”
Raphael asked in amazement.
“Level 99? Does that mean Kurang Duke is level 99?”
“Yes. And even at the same level, bosses are much stronger. It requires around 20 to 30 people, sometimes even up to 50 people, to tackle it together.”
“So many? We’re only six people.”
Tien, who was sitting with the others and helping Kite with his armor, asked with a puzzled expression.
Of course, in games, the difficulty adjusts according to the number of players. However, saying that would be difficult to believe and only confusing.
“So, we need to level up. Today’s strange monster was probably only a low-level named monster. It won’t be too difficult to level up if we keep hunting them when they respawn.”
“But if we’ve already killed them, will they appear again?”
Hazen asked, and Luella nodded.
“Even low-level monsters resurrect. I don’t know their respawn cycle, but after some time, they will come back as if they were never killed.”
She couldn’t be sure since she hadn’t experienced many monster encounters here, but seeing that low-level monsters resurrected, it was likely that other monsters were not much different.
But then, did Kurang Duke also respawn continuously? If so, it meant that they had to go and kill him periodically.
However, this wasn’t a pressing matter for Luella right now. She needed to succeed in the Kurang Duke raid to ensure her own survival.
If her party succeeded in the raid, it meant they had the power to deal with him periodically, even if he respawned. But if Luella died… Unfortunately, that wouldn’t be her concern anymore.
“So, does that mean Kurang Duke is also a monster that resurrects?”
Kite astutely pointed out what Luella had been contemplating.
“I don’t know. In the game I used to play, which is basically a puppet show, they didn’t come back to life right away.”
“Anyway, it seems they come back to life.”
“Then there’s no point in defeating the Duke, right?”
Hazen interjected after hearing their conversation.
He had been worried that the conversation would go in this direction, and his fears were realized.
“Giant-class bosses take anywhere from a week to a month to respawn. So if he comes back to life, we should think of a way to defeat and then lock him up so he can’t do anything.”
“Lock him up? Is that even possible?”
“There’s someone like Senhwi, right? The one who brought my soul back here. Surely, he can do that much, can’t he?”
She said it in a hurry, but when she thought about it, it wasn’t necessarily wrong. Hazen nodded vigorously.
“Yeah, we have Senhwi. Right now, he can’t come here, but he might be able to help us later.”
Tien chimed in.
“They say that if you know Senhwi’s name, you can call him to the party and even have a conversation. Brother, do you know Senhwi’s name?”
Kite’s actions froze at the unexpected question.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
