“The light guides me, everyone follow me!”
“I will become a Paladin.”
[Kyah]
[I believed in you, GOAT]
[Heavy Armor Coolness]
[Cut those basic Berserkers!]
[Disappointing, Sensei.]
[If you were in your prime, you would have slaughtered the boss in one second after becoming a Berserker.]
[Your aggression has been suppressed.]
[Where’s the Mollu who was playing Eo War!]
[You can hear the clinking every time you walk.]
[What a joke.]
[Is your testosterone production not working?]
[There’s no reason a 20-something woman like Mollu would have male hormones…]
[Info: Unlike the image people have of her, Mollu prefers efficient and calculated gameplay over aggressive play.]
[The impact during the tournament was too great.]
[Cut down on the entrance during the tournament!]
“Please don’t fight. We should get along.”
To say they cut down on valuable traffic is nonsense.
I calmed the energetic viewers who were fervently cheering and getting angry.
As the chat kept filling up, I spotted a long message that precisely analyzed my tendencies.
That’s right; although many misunderstand, I prefer stable and meticulous play over flashy and bold plays that rely on physical skill.
There’s the satisfaction of gaining little by little, and previously, my physical skills weren’t that great, so I had no choice but to stick with this.
It’s not something that can be changed overnight.
Except during times when physical skill is needed, like in the recent Eo War tournament, I don’t typically take risks with my brain.
I briefly and succinctly explained that fact.
The viewers’ astonished spam praising the Paladin was a bonus.
“And thus, the class I chose is the Light’s Guide.”
Saying this, I revealed the new skill I had acquired.
It was the Sacred Flame used by Helperth, a technique that ignites a holy flame on the sword.
The sight of the pure white flames flickering on the sword surface was magnificent.
Unfortunately, that was the entirety of the skill I gained from acquiring my new class.
After defeating the incredibly tough Helperth, this was only a small reward.
Both the viewers and I had a dumbfounded reaction, but quickly accepted it.
It’s a fact that giving out too powerful skills in Dragon Lord, which boasts catastrophic difficulty, is a bit tricky.
Rather, being able to receive even this much was a blessing.
To say the existing skills consisted solely of rolling for a brief invincibility and parrying to deflect enemy attacks was all there was.
Thinking of the Sacred Flame as a way to supplement my lacking DPS, nothing could be better.
Also, it would be boring if this type of game could be completed too quickly and easily.
In that regard, I might not be providing much enjoyment for the viewers.
That said, I can’t pretend I can’t do it.
Broadcasting is such a challenging and profound thing.
While I was testing the Sacred Flame and chatting with the viewers, the screen suddenly transitioned, and a stopping event occurred like the previous cutscene.
And the same figure appeared again.
It was the beautiful woman who mediated the duel with Helperth.
“The unlucky warrior Helperth. He was my faithful servant. At the same time, he was the strongest Paladin…”
“Since you referred to him as your servant, I guess this person must be the goddess? She appeared for a brief moment in the teaser.”
[Wearing a veil confirms it.]
[Ahhh, she’s pretty!]
[Ugh.]
[So beautiful.]
[Since the goddess is here, this route must be right, indeed.]
[It seems to be roughly the backstory of Helperth?]
[I’ll summarize this and upload it on YouTube as ‘Dragon Lord Story’.]
In the frozen world, the goddess spoke softly like a grandmother sharing old tales.
While the viewers were excited about the new story connected to the one first revealed by the game company, I began to lose interest gradually.
For the first 5 minutes or so, I listened patiently, but as the story drifted past 5 or 10 minutes, I couldn’t quite catch it.
With no option to skip the story, I had no choice but to endure the dull saga.
Others would absolutely listen to the story without skipping, but I had a habit of skipping portions when such stories appeared.
“Yawn…”
Contrary to the reactions in the chat, I scratched my belly while listening half-heartedly and ended up yawning.
My yawn echoed through the microphone and was broadcasted directly, instantly shifting the viewers’ attention to me.
[The goddess is currently explaining the ancient myth…]
[Who is sleeping in class?]
[Seriously, there’s nothing to skip; Helperth’s gruesome Berserker days to his Paladin promotion have no gaps.]
[Cries up and down ㅠㅠ]
[Waahh!]
[I feel a sickening sense of camaraderie with Mollu; to be honest, I’m also bored ㅇㅇ.]
[Seriously lol, I don’t care whether Helperth was a Berserker or the number one Paladin.]
[If there was a skip option, I would have pressed it.]
[Let’s just go hunt dragons.]
“Yeah, I’d like to do that too….”
I stretched a little in response to a few viewers who, like me, were bored.
<To be continued below>
<Streamers still getting hit by Balak>
<Strong candidates for a fast run possibility>
The comprehensive game broadcast minor gallery was filled with discussions surrounding the newly released hot game, Dragon Lord.
Among various streamers’ broadcasts, suddenly, one streamer’s post began to dominate the majority of the gallery.
Mollu, a streamer who started the game just 5 hours ago.
Yet, due to her skills, she was quickly moving through the stages, being mentioned as a strong candidate for a fast run.
At a point where comments were popping up saying that even the boss Dragon could be defeated in one shot if it was Mollu, a change occurred.
<Mollu has entered the hidden route!>
Volcanic Path > Left at the fork > Defeated the Plague Doctor (Challenge achieved) > Entered the temple > Defeated event boss Helperth > Advanced to Paladin
Right now, I’m listening to the worldview explanation from the goddess who appeared in the trailer; since there’s no skip, the game progress is slowing down.
ㅇㅇ: Isn’t there supposed to be a job change in this game?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: You just pick up weapons and equipment and upgrade; that’s all.
ㅇㅇ: Is this a first for streamers?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: It’s the first; no one from overseas has explored this route either.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: Many have reached the Plague Doctor, but they couldn’t clear the challenge from there.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: The challenge was hidden from the start.
ㅇㅇ: I cried while tearing up and listening to Helperth’s story ㅠㅠ
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: That’s absurd.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: It’s so tragic…
ㅇㅇ: I can’t believe she’s not going Berserker lol, Mollu’s level.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: Prevent the madness.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: Oops!
<'Upload'>
(A rough photo of Mollu doing a V sign with her hand)
Even having started later than others, she doesn’t fall behind in speed…
She just crushes both bosses and mobs…
She takes everything in one shot…
She completes challenges and more…
Yawning while the goddess gives an elaborate worldview explanation…
I believed in you, GOAT
ㅇㅇ: Kyah
ㅇㅇ: Mollu! Mollu! Mollu! Mollu! Mollu! Mollu!
ㅇㅇ: I can’t stand these Mollu fanboys, they’re gross, it’s like they own the board.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: lol
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: They don’t say a word when other streamers post, but suddenly?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: If they’re annoyed… you know what?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: 116.13 – They go crazy the moment it’s just Mollu’s post, memo it…
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: The life of a superstar is exhausting.
<Breaking News, Mollu's viewers surpass 50,000>
First place among Switch Korean streamers, achieved first place in the Dragon Lord category.
ㅇㅇ: Even David Carlson, the developer of Dragon Lord, is watching in Mollu’s stream ㄷㄷ
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: What is this?
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: I typed in the chat when Helperth was killed earlier; it was too fast to catch, though.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: There’s immense beauty in this combat.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: They probably translated and typed it lol, how cute.
ㅇㅇ: The story is over, and now we’re going to hunt dragons.
ㄴ ㅇㅇ: Let’s go~
“The goddess talks too much, doesn’t she? I’ll just avoid her here.”
We were currently climbing the cliff to get to the nest of the final boss, the Dragon, located at a high elevation.
[That’s blasphemous.]
[Even saying that, you’re dodging beautifully lol.]
[There are so many who retire here.]
The steep cliff felt like it would crumble away as each step I took resulted in boulders rolling down from above.
If I got hit by even one, I’d get a concussion and have to fall back down the cliff, starting from the beginning again.
There’s a reason this segment is called the Wall of Lamentation.
Thud—
Upon reaching the summit, the warrior placed their hands to the ground and landed.
There lay the skeletons of strange beasts with nests made of soft feathers and straw in the center.
In the middle of that area was a gigantic egg.
Thinking it looked like an ostrich egg I had seen somewhere, I opened my mouth.
“It’s just a bigger scale; this nest is exactly like a bird’s, egg included….”
Creeeak—
As I moved toward the nest, I heard the beast’s howl.
It felt like a warning against approaching any closer.
Soon after, the sound of flapping wings followed, and the owner of the voice revealed itself.
