Chapter 45: (1): Season 1: Preparation
The power of the Platinum Slayer was formidable, far greater than expected. It influenced the Korean Union and even the Korean government. They mobilized the military and even Gold-ranked Slayers to find one Slayer. However, Hyun-seok wasn’t aware of these developments. The Union and the government recognized the importance of the Platinum Slayer, who was viewed with terror(?), and Slayers who wanted to establish a connection with Hyun-seok volunteered.
This time, the Platinum Slayer was interrogating a Trapper. He was looking for a Trapper skilled in exploration skills, and one of them was Chae-rim. Originally, Chae-rim was an agile Slayer specializing in disruption, but her nimble movements made her suitable for a combat Slayer, which matched the Trapper style.
Meanwhile, Hyun-seok decided to hunt a Turtle Monster to earn points. While it wasn’t as dangerous as the Cyclops, the Turtle Monster was considered nearly impossible for regular Slayers to defeat. Even Slayers who couldn’t break the weak shield of the Cyclops couldn’t penetrate the Turtle Monster’s shield. It seemed impossible to break the shield of the Turtle Monster. In that sense, it could be seen as a monster that was not particularly dangerous but almost impossible to slay.
Chae-rim spoke up.
“I know the weakness of the Turtle Monster.”“Hmm… So there really is a weakness.”“Yes. As you probably know, Trappers have an exploration skill. I wanted to be a Trapper who could help in combat rather than dungeon exploration. You may not know this, but when the exploration skill reaches level 8 or higher, the weakness of monsters becomes visible.”
She had discovered the weakness of the Turtle Monster. If the level exceeded 8, the weakness of the monster would be revealed. In other words, at least in Chae-rim’s case, she had surpassed level 8. Despite the gathering of over 700 Slayers who claimed to be high-ranking, they couldn’t find the weakness of the Turtle Monster. But Chae-rim did. In other words, apart from Lee Myeong-hoon, she was currently the closest exploration Slayer to reaching the advanced level.
Perhaps there would be an achievement reward for capturing the Turtle Monster. And since it was a field monster, the achievement would be shared. Chae-rim promised to invest all the points she obtained from that into her exploration skill.
Chae-rim said.
“It’s not exactly the center, but rather the vicinity of the center… I’ve seen it in old satellite photos. The color of the shell around the exact center is slightly darker. The shells around that central shell are its weak points.”
Hyun-seok nodded.
‘It’s a monster that becomes easier to handle when its defense weakens slightly and its resilience decreases.’
It wasn’t a monster that posed much danger anyway. The problem was how to climb onto the turtle monster’s back. Even if you had great strength and a good sense of balance, scaling a building with just your body was a different challenge. The turtle monster’s height exceeded five meters.
‘Should I try jumping up there?’
It didn’t seem impossible. However, he felt a bit uneasy because he had never jumped that high before.
‘No, let’s just put a ladder and climb up.’
He decided to take the easy way. The monster’s slow movements made it possible to climb up using a ladder.
- Platinum Slayer: Solo Slaying Challenge of the Turtle Monster
- The Slayer who solo-slayed Cyclops. What about this time?
- Did the mastermind behind gathering the high-level slayers at Mount Jincheon plan this slaying?
It was revealed that the Platinum Slayer had slain the turtle monster. Conspiracy theories also circulated. According to the conspiracy theory, the Platinum Slayer deliberately created a missing person who didn’t actually exist, then moved the slayers to Mount Jincheon and embarked on the slaying alone. Given the circumstances, it seemed plausible, so there were quite a few people on the internet already discussing it as if it were true.
However, Hyun-seok couldn’t know all of that. He actually brought a ladder and climbed onto the turtle shell. He found the shell near the vicinity of the center. The turtle monster’s shell was hexagonal in shape and had a slightly different color.
Hyun-seok began his attack.
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
