Overgeared

On the battlefield on the East Continent where the last Full Moon Fortress was located, the situation had been rough from the very beginning.

Because the area had been deserted for a long time, the cultivators chose it as the construction site for the Full Moon Fortress. Since it was home to a large number of high-level monsters, the players kept delaying destroying it.

Therefore, it ended up being the last surviving Full Moon Fortress.

“Get out of the way! It’s dangerous! No, shit...! Get out of the way! Are you deaf?”

“U-Uh? I-I can’t see on the other side.”

“Fuck, this is worse than the coronation of Emperor Grid.”

“People were orderly back then.”

Today, tens of millions of people gathered in this area. They were constantly coming to see and report on the heroes who succeeded in the ‘Stop the Erosion Ritual’ world quest that would go down in history.

As a result, raids were still going on nearby. The elite monsters and field bosses that originally inhabited this land became the targets of many high-level players who had to keep them busy so that the rankers could focus on capturing the Full Moon Fortress.

According to the original plan, these enemies should’ve been left alone once the world quest was completed. The role of the high-level players would be over because they could use the return scroll to escape.

But the rapid influx of people disrupted their plans. The players couldn’t tell for sure if these people were so distracted that they couldn’t see the monsters, or if they truly didn’t see them...

People came running from all directions, totally ignoring the creatures. They were just trying to get one step closer to the Full Moon Fortress expedition group. Because of this, the high-level players struggled with the monsters and were unable to leave. It was obvious that the civilians would be slaughtered the moment the players stopped keeping the mobs at bay.

“Wow, if the skill cooldown had come up 0.1 seconds later, hundreds of people would’ve died... What the hell is up with all these people?”

“It’s because the quest had such a dramatic success. People are more excited than necessary.”

“So,” one of the rankers bragged, “I managed to make it three hours before the time limit... Oh, why is that strange guy bowing to me again?”

Players who were classified as high-level were celebrities even though they weren’t rankers. Their reputation could be significantly affected if they acted inappropriately. Thus, they couldn’t turn away from the crowds who flocked to see the heroes of the quest. They had been hired by the guilds, armies or kingdoms that participated in the expedition, and their mission was to keep the monsters at bay until the Full Moon Fortress was destroyed, but...

The Full Moon Fortress had fallen. They had been fighting for nearly an extra hour after that. The rankers in the expedition group seemed to notice their situation and sent support, but they were unable to move quickly because of the crowds that were impassable like mountains and seas. They kept getting caught and pinned down by reporters and extreme fans who were more persistent than monsters.

This was a real pain...

A strange notification window appeared as they felt a small jolt of pain.

The people were stunned. They couldn’t understand who attacked them. They even wondered if this was the result of lag because of how many people were in the area, but their doubts were quickly cleared.
