Chapter 9

Three bottles of beer had been gulped down by Keenan while waiting for the waves to move. Keenan sat at the lighthouse for almost an hour, and the waves were still at ten.

"How many more hours must we wait for these waves to move? Didn't Boyle say that waves at 12 o'clock are the longest waves?"

"There is no explanation from the system, Keenan. Looks like we'll have to wait."

Keenan took a deep breath and opened another beer bottle. The red moon and sky that offered different colors made his heart calm a little. Enjoying the view of the waves from the lighthouse can be said to relieve anxiety.

"Wicky, do you have data on every participant who participated in this MMORPG?"

"No, Ken. I only know with you, also the system has set me up as a map pointer and some other little things. If I knew more, I would have told you."

"Hey, the waves are moving!" Keenan stood up and pointed at the visible waves.

"The wave passed at 11 o'clock, Keenan. He headed straight for 12 o'clock! Ah, the map already shows the way to the blue crater east of this island. It's thirty minutes away! We don't have much time, come on, Keenan!"

Keenan left carrying a crate filled with beer. They put the beer first in Boyle's yard and rushed to where the red dragon was.

The trip went smoothly without any hiccups. In fact they arrived within twenty minutes.

"The road is so narrow, I don't think you can bring your horse in, Keenan."

Yes, they stopped at the foot of a hill overgrown with large trees and was very dense. Just looking at it made my chest feel tight.

Keenan waited to follow Wicky's words, he approached one of the trees and slashed it with a sword. The large tree that looked dashing fell quickly.

"Wicky, this horse will always take me wherever it goes."

Keenan hit his horse's buttocks and began to take action swinging his sword to knock down the existing trees. There are only fifteen minutes left to collect the pearls needed.

The sound of snoring so big sounded from the top of the hill. Keenan accelerated his horse and as soon as he arrived near the peak, he found a four-headed dragon sleeping coiled around a pearl the size of an adult human head.

The pearl is floating in the middle of a blue crater that looks so amazing.

"Okay, I need to go downstairs and get the pearl."

Keenan looked around and found a black rope that glowed yellow.

"You can use that rope, Keenan!"

Keenan wrapped the rope around himself and a large rock on the crater's edge. Without wasting time, Keenan immediately jumped free to retrieve the pearl. His balance was so perfect, with just one swing, he managed to get that round white object.

"Yeah! I did it!"

Unfortunately, when he was about to swing his body again to return to the crater's edge, Keenan fell on top of the four-headed red dragon's body.

"Shit!"

His body that was thrown managed to keep the dragon awake. The dragon's eyes were white, its four heads coiled towards the crater's centre and bursts of fire occurred. The dragon let out a horrible sound which seemed to be because they noticed the pearl was missing.

"Keenan! The dragon is blind! You must stay silent, they can recognize their prey from sound!"

Wicky's scream made the dragon rise and spit fire again. As the information was given, the dragon flew up and searched for Wicky's voice. The dragon-headed towards the side where Keenan's dark horse was. Keenan took this opportunity to jump onto his horse's body immediately.

"Let's go, Wicky!"

Keenan landed perfectly and immediately got on his horse. The dragon followed them because it was still after Wicky. The fire continued to go out following Keenan's departure. However, halfway through, the dragon disappeared and left behind a powerful sound that sounded like it was in pain.

"Exactly an hour and a half after the wave came out. It looks like the dragon was pulled back into the crater," said Keenan.

"Yes, you're right, Keenan. The system has just provided information that the creature guarding the crater will always change rhythm with the waves in a clockwise direction. By the way, we have completed the task, only one left. You need a shark head or Boyle's favorite thing to get one extra secret weapon."

"Yeah, how do we get it? I don't have money to buy those things."

"Have you forgotten how we stole that one case of beer? We'll do the same with the shark head! The map has already directed us to the souvenir shop!"

Keenan then realized with Capt. Jake Lo said that this island is beautiful. "Finally I understand. This island is not as strict as the previous island. This island is filled with pirates and looters, You're right, Wicky. We will be plunderers tonight!"

**

Boyle greeted Keenan's arrival with a big smile, especially when he saw a large shark's head in Keenan's hands.

"We've gathered everything you need to make a secret weapon, too, here's a present for you. I know you like shark heads, right?" Keenan handed the shark's head to Boyle.

"Perfect. Now, wait a moment. I will finish everything in just a few minutes."

Boyle moved his hand towards the materials piled up in his yard, all flew to follow Boyle into the house.

An explosion in the sky heralding the announcement of death was heard again. "10 players died - 84 players left - 6000 citizens killed."

Keenan didn't react anything, this time he suppressed his anxiety by closing his eyes and covering his ears.

"One minute, and all is done. Keenan, these are two secret weapons. Red to fight the dwarves and blue to fight the terrible creatures of the sea."

Boyle returned with two guns the size of a handgun, blue and red.

"Thanks! We will go."

<Side quest: make the secret weapon – success>

"Wait! It's best if you rest here, morning time is the best attack for the dwarves. They get extreme at night. Since you have also given me a shark head, I will prepare breakfast to increase your strength and physical defence."

Keenan looked at Wicky. "An interesting offer, you must add to your reduced power Keenan."

"Okay, we will spend the night here and fight the dwarves tomorrow morning," said Keenan.

"Great! I make sure you won't lose the battle with the dwarves, Keenan. You will beat them as fast as I finish your weapon!"

"Yeah, I hope so."
