Last Shelter Online-Chapter 52

[Ding! Garden Golem Weapon Card 1x dropped in front of you]

After 5 hours of grinding at the same spot, the second card had finally been obtained and Hiro finally reached level 13. One by one, the skills he had mastered before were returned.

[Bloodsteal] helped Hiro save health potions.

A very hard struggle but worth his time.

Hiro lay down on the grassy field to regain his breath, which was panting from exhaustion.

“This is insane, it wasn’t this hard to get 3 cards back then.”

This time, his level was enough to equip his legendary weapon.

[Blood-eater Vampire has been equipped]

[BR has increased]

The greatsword once again appeared before Hiro beautifully.

Seeing the visual of the sword made Hiro amazed by the graphic features.

With the legendary weapon sword back in his hands, Hiro could speed up his grinding agenda to level up to 20.

And he already knew where the most strategic monster spots were to reach that level quickly.

Previously, it took him 3 days to level up to 20 in the CBT version, this time he was very confident not to stop grinding before level 20 was reached in one-day maximum.

“Let the hunt begin!”

Hiro grinding on monster spots that could give him a drop set of armor which was quite helpful to add defense to his current avatar.

[Metal Mothra (Level 17)]

[Race: Beast]

The monster was in the form of moths that surrounded two trees at once. They were about the size of a grown man’s arm and they had a pair of broad wings that kept flapping and making noise. The body was made of metal. They attacked with three pairs of sharp legs and a stinger on the tail like a bee.

Even though the weapon looked promising, the damage from the monster was not that big because the monster was a defensive type and not an offensive type.

And although there were 15 of them in each tree, Hiro purposely stayed between two trees at once so he could easily attract the monsters to approach him without him having to move.

Buzz! Buzz!

Hiro wished there was a setting to turn off sound effects for a while because the monster’s voice bothered him a lot. However, he could only be disappointed because such a feature was not available.

He had been beating those monsters for over five hours and during that time, he had managed to obtain 𝙛𝑟𝑒e𝘸𝑒𝗯𝘯𝗼𝘃el.𝒄𝒐m

[Metal Stinger Head (Level 18) – Tier A]

[Def 14; Aspd 12; Eva 5]

[Metal Stinger Top (Level 19) – Tier A]

[Def 48; Eva 5]

[Metal Stinger Bottom (Level 17) – Tier A]

[Def 32]

Meanwhile, Hiro had leveled up to level 19 so far. One more level and his target was fulfilled.

Even so, he hoped to get Metal Stinger Shoes so that he got a bonus set effect from Metal Stinger which was quite promising. It was called Defensive Damage Increased 1%. An effect that could be useful until the avatar reached a high level.

SPLAT!

With a single slash of its legendary sword, the monster instantly turned into crystal shards that melted into the air before finally respawning back again.

In that way, Hiro could level up quickly because every second he could kill an average of 30 monsters at once.

Grinding at the beginning did seem easier compared to when the level was higher. And grinding at the beginning of the level should be done independently because it would be more effective since there was no EXP distribution.

Ding!

[Base level up 1x]

Ding!

[Job Class level up 1x]

Ding!

[You have obtained Metal Stinger Shoes (Level 16) – Tier A]

[Def 7; Aspd 5]

SPLAT!

Hiro slashed once more at the monsters that had surrounded him until they were destroyed before deciding to move away from the spot until those monsters could no longer follow him.

“Finally!”

[Metal Stinger Shoes has been equipped]

[Full set bonus has been obtained]

[Damage 15; Def 10; Aspd;10; DDI 1%]

Hiro smiled with satisfaction seeing the additional status he received.

Ding!

[A new message has been obtained]

[System: Congratulations! Your current level has reached the minimum limit to be able to access the daily quest. Check the daily quest menu to find more about it. Good Luck, Player NightFall!]

However, what happened next managed to make Hiro more interested.

[Jacob has accepted your friend request]

“Jacob?”

Without thinking twice, he contacted the player who had accompanied him since one week ago. And became his closest companion just like Liberty.

It was getting dark in the LSO world, and the server time was 7 PM.

[Contacting Jacob! …]

“Hi, Bro!” Jacob shouted from the other side.

“Jacob!” Never before had Hiro felt this happy hearing Jacob”s voice, thus he shouted like a baby.

“Wow! Chill, Bro! What happened? Did you finally date that girl?”

Hiro’s heart suddenly sank when he heard Jacob’s question, his mood immediately changed, and so did his voice.

“Well, that didn’t happen.” He felt weak now and it managed to make Jacob worry about him while being somewhere out there.

“What happened, Bro? Has she dumped you? Well, women are the same everywhere. You should move on now, she’s not the one for you. I have many, if you want, I can spare some.”

“No…no. That’s not what I meant. But, Jacob, can we meet up? Tavern, maybe?” Hiro preferred to talk to him face to face and asked a lot of questions that Jacob may know and he didn’t.

“Sure, we can. But, which Tavern anyway? We have many Taverns right now.”

Hiro knew that every city had a Tavern nowadays. And Jacob seemed to know about it as well. He was indeed very fast in social matters as if he was the one who created a map of the city and all its contents.

“The last Tavern that we talked to that time.”

“Ahh–Beginner Town? Ok, gotta go there in 10 minutes. See y’!”

“Cool! See you!”

Beeps!

[Disconnected.]

Hiro breathed a sigh of relief, at least he knew that Jacob was fine and his friend seemed to be very relaxed as if nothing big had just happened.

Despite that, he immediately rushed towards Beginner Town. After drinking the energy drink and his energy was full again, Hiro’s tiredness instantly disappeared.
