chapter 14
Time to Set Up Part 14
“Ha!”
Lee Hee-yeon rushed at the warrior goblin and brandished two daggers. But in the meantime, the goblin raised her shield and pushed her away.
chuck.
Kagak!
But her power level is 4. Senses and wits are there. The technique of using the body is a veteran.
She pulled the dagger across the top of the shield in reverse grip and pushed the underside of the opposite side with her foot.
hook-
“… … dream?”
Fuuk-
It was an instant.
The dagger stabbed through a small gap went through the goblin’s left flank and lodged in his heart.
“Wow, I didn’t even see it.”
It is also Heeyeon Lee.
I thought it was great, but I didn’t expect it to be this great. The other two goblins were treated more lightly.
“end!”
She looked at Jihoo with a bright smile on her blood-splattered face. Jihoo wiped away the goose bumps on his skin.
“… … It is suddenly unfamiliar.”
“huh? what?”
“Oh, no.”
“Thanks to that, it was easy to catch the Warrior Goblin. Aside from the eyes, it was easy to deal with because he was excited. Is this combination better than you think?”
Lee Hee-yeon also moves as a team when climbing the 6th floor or higher. Below that, it’s not difficult to survive and you don’t have to share the profits, so you move alone.
The party members are one tank, one mage, and one healer. Healers are expensive, so they only accompany you occasionally, but they are quite friendly, so you can have a stable party hunt.
There is no shooter.
Occasionally, I tried to recruit a shooter, but there were a lot of restrictions in the jungle and I couldn’t do anything when I went to the desert floor, so I fell for it before I knew it.
It was only needed on the 6th floor or higher, but I didn’t really feel the need because the team mage had adapted to the role of a shooter.
‘Well, it’s up to the second floor.’
Jihoo is up to two floors.
You can’t take more, and you can’t. No matter how good his tempo was, he was still a normal person after all.
She checked the goblin’s belongings and found something useful.
“I will look at your belongings.”
“Ah, he was an appraiser.”
Although she is a veteran, she can’t keep up with the appraiser. Besides, isn’t it a ‘characteristic’ appraisal?
“I’ll get some by-products.”
She cut open his heart to see if there was a magic stone, and peeled off the goblin’s fingernails and a few skins on his thighs.
“Are you collecting only the most valuable?”
“It’s a shame, but if you stay here any longer, other goblins will come.”
“That’s better. It’s not like we’re going to slaughter here.”
As Jihoo looked at it, something suddenly came to his mind.
[The Corpse of the Warrior Goblin (Lv. 03)]
: He lost his eyesight due to eye damage and died from a pierced heart.
* [Possesses the lowest level magic stone]
* [Can be slaughtered (80% preservation rate)]
“… … oh?”
[Reading] It’s thanks to the level rising to 3.
Information about the corpse of a level 3 goblin came to mind, and I even confirmed that there was a magic stone.
“Do you have this magic stone?”
“… … ?”
“There is only one warrior.”
“How do you know that?”
“emotion?”
“Does that make sense?”
“It’s a characteristic.”
[Attribute] is a cheat key.
Even if it doesn’t make sense, if it’s a characteristic, everything makes sense.
Kwajik-
Hard.
She split the goblin’s chest with her vampiric fangs. Along with the eerie sound of tearing skin and muscles and cracking ribs, I saw a sparkling mana stone.
“Right. Is this a dog?”
“Sigh!”
“… … why are you like this?”
Lee Hee-yeon trembled.
where does it hurt?
Have you ever been injured while fighting a warrior?
“uh? no. It tingles a little when you stick the vampiric fang into your heart.”
“… … .”
Jihoo was terrified and pretended not to know.
It’s tingling, I feel it.
“Although it is of the lowest grade, it is in pretty good condition.”
“Yeah, yes.”
Jihoo looked away.
Goblin’s corpse.
The word [can be slaughtered] stuck.
‘Complete slaughter?’
– Requires 50 SP.
– Do you want to save your settings?
‘do?’
But I hit cancel. I couldn’t spend 50 SP on a goblin by-product.
[Slaughtered Goblin Corpse (Lv. 03)]
: He lost his eyesight due to eye damage and died from a heart attack.
* [Complete slaughter (80% preservation rate)]
In addition, the mana stone was taken out, and the possession of the mana stone disappeared. If I need a corpse later, I’ll use it then.
“Let’s go back.”
“Okay, I need to get some rest.”
Jihoo followed her words.
At the same time, I looked at the achievements, SP, and quest progress obtained from hunting goblins.
[Reborn as a Goblin Hunter]
Goal: Goblin Hunt: 4/10
‘Fortunately, it includes the wounding of the warrior goblins.’
There seems to be no party function.
Well, that would be too much of a scam.
– [Become a goblin sniper! (Normal)]
– [Goblin Serial Killer (Normal)]
– [You have killed the warrior goblin! (Rare)]
– [Is SP still the best? (Normal)]
– [Complete hunting with a weapon that has been modified (rare)]
– 280 SP will be paid.
not bad.
Hunting is also good for earning SP. In addition, SP continued to rise as survival time.
And that’s not all.
– Killed a goblin in one blow.
– Killed Goblins serially.
– Injured strong opponents.
– 『Modified Crossbow (Lv. 03)』 gains experience.
Because I made the crossbow that I had painstakingly remodeled into a growth type, the ‘experience value’ also increased.
『Modification Crossbow [Normal – Wind] [Growth type – EXP 6%] (Lv. 04)』
Description: A delicately modified compound crossbow, with magic added to a stable mechanism with strong durability.
* [Save Lesser Vault]
* [Lesser Volt Release]
* [Low Reload Acceleration]
* [Lesser Durability Enhancement]
[Automatic reloading] could not be created at once. It was possible to use SP, but the efficiency was too low.
But this is enough.
Range, strength, and penetration come from the bolt, and the bow itself can be strengthened slowly.
“Let’s move over there. There must be another group of goblins heading this way.”
“good. I just need to catch six more.”
“Six? I’ll have to catch two more packs.”
the two moved
She was very worried at first, but now she doesn’t look worried at all. That would be worth hunting for.
But that was then.
chin.
Heeyeon Lee grabbed Jihoo by the shoulder and put his index finger to his mouth.
‘quietly.’
seureung-
She lowered her stance and took out a dagger, but unlike before, she only held a silent blade.
She raised one index finger.
Looking at the shape of the mouth, it meant something like this.
‘100m.’
And repeat lowering your palms down. It meant lowering your posture and moving slowly.
The two of them moved so slowly that a butterfly landed on their heads. About 10 minutes to move 10m. It took more than 30 minutes to move 20m.
She seemed used to this movement. It was so soft that I couldn’t hear a single footstep, like an animal.
‘driving me crazy.’
Jihoo was hard.
Sweat dripped from my eyes, and my arms lost their guard and sagged, clutching my knees. Low posture has long been forgotten.
It was sheer mental strength that made him endure this far with his frail body, and the reason why he was able to not make a sound was because he applied [Low Sound Absorption] to his shoes as an SP.
But that too is a limit.
Swoop.
At that time, Lee Hee-yeon looked at Ji-hoo and waved her hand. There just happened to be a rock full of vines.
A moderately high place where you can hide in the crevices of rocks. Even so, if you stick your head out, you can see where the two of you went.
‘Here, prepare for sniping.’
‘okay.’
Jihoo didn’t know.
this is survival
Nothing moved when you caught the goblin.
Seruk.
A very small noise spread. As Jihoo pressed his body against the rock, not his feet, Lee Heeyeon’s ears twitched.
But she headed forward, making a little noise herself.
‘It’s convenient when the scope is like this.’
Jihoo sat down and looked at her and the spot she was aiming for through the scope. At first glance, In-young appears.
He wasn’t a monster.
‘You’re so wary of people?’
It’s not like climbing this tower for a day or two, is there anyone who would harm Lee Hee-yeon in this tower?
No, why did she feel wary of them and why did she approach this far? Maybe it’s because it’s near the hideout?
It was time to think like that.
Something has changed in the air.
pat-
She disappeared from the scope, and a roar rang out a little further ahead.
Kwaaang-
I hurriedly moved the scope.
To snipe if possible.
There, as if from a large company, a man plastered with [Samhyun] brand artifacts was seen clashing with her with a long two-handed sword.
It doesn’t matter which one ran first.
met in the center of each other.
‘Is this the Samhyeon Group?’
The fight between the two was fierce.
She hit and fell quickly to induce gaps, and the man pushed her with strong physical strength and bold swordsmanship.
Quaang-
Sugeok!
From Jihoo’s point of view, it was a battle of superhumans. A log thicker than his waist was cut through with a single sword strike, and rocks were easily shattered.
It was then.
Heeyeon Lee leaned back and looked this way urgently. The man didn’t miss the chance and rushed at her.
creepy-
Why?
I knew it sensibly.
Something is wrong.
Jihoo took his eyes off the scope. The narrow view disappeared and the wide jungle came into view. At the same time, I could tell that something was running fast.
– The user’s crisis is detected.
– Satisfies certain conditions!
– The hidden ability of the attribute [Permission to Intervene] is unlocked.
ugh-
It was a moment.
The human figure, which had only traces, became clearer in front of my eyes, and all objects in the world stopped moving.
Has time slowed down?
Or has the flow of thought accelerated?
– Obtained the special ability [Time for setting (Lv. 01)].
– When you need it, you are given your own time once every 24 hours.
A number appeared before my eyes.
– 0.9976 seconds
Decreases rapidly.
You are given only 1 second.
But enough.
– [View (Lv. 03)] is activated.
It was only then that Jihoo was able to identify the subject behind the system phrase.
-??
Information about the person itself is invisible. It seems that the power level is higher than 3. At this speed, it’s natural.
I scanned his body.
Artifact information he wore is uploaded.
『Earrings of Stamina (Lv. 02)』
『Recovery Bandages (Lv. 03)』
『Troll Leather Pauldrons (Lv. 03)』
.
.
.
Among the artifacts he wore, everything below level 3 was visible. My head was pounding when I read the level 3, but it was tolerable.
No, you have to be patient.
‘I focused on recovery and defense. His speed was faster than Lee Hee-yeon’s, and he had two daggers like her. A basic melee dealer’s weapon.’
Is it a stat that is inconsistent with attack power and speed?
then… … .
『Shoes of Speed [Rare – Wind] (Lv. 03)』
* [Lesser Weight Reduction]
* [Minimum Acceleration]
* [Minimum Silence]
‘Intermediate acceleration in 3 seconds.’
In general, [Minimum Acceleration] grants 1.1x acceleration when you start running more than 30m. The lower level is 1.2 times higher, and the middle level is 1.7 times higher.
Experience more than 3 times.
I thought I was running at 50km/h in a narrow alleyway, but what if it became 150km/h in an instant?
– Temporarily grants [Intermediate Acceleration].
– Duration 0.5 seconds
– A total of 85 SP is required.
‘save.’
– [Time for setting (Lv. 01)]
– 0.0102 seconds
The time has come.
“… … uh?”
His face was stained with bewilderment.
It was clearly visible because our eyes met.
He was 10m ahead. The distance shortened in an instant. The time for 10m to become 0 was immeasurable, but it quickly became -10m.
He had gone past Jihoo.
It’s almost like being thrown out.
“Everyone stop!”
Huung-
A nearby voice filled with heavy magical energy spread through the forest.
Ji-hoo was forced to stop on the spot, and the person passing by came to an ambiguous stop. It was the same with Lee Hee-yeon and the man with the great sword who were fighting in front of him.
However, a smile appeared on Jihoo’s face.
– The level of [Setting Intervention (Lv. 02)] has risen.
– It has become [Set Intervention (Lv. 03)].
It’s because you have a special ability at the same time as leveling up.
