[Tutorial Chapter 1 – Adaptation]
– The fifth wave begins.
– Defend the monster wave and prove your existence.
The fifth wave followed shortly thereafter.
The wounds had just healed, and the immediate tension on their faces was evident from the ensuing battle.
A completely different look from the fourth wave just before.
Even without Yu Seo-ah shouting anything, each of them was holding their weapons tightly and preparing for the monster’s attack.
“Queeek!”
Wolf, boar, monkey. In accordance with the order, this time, wild boars with dark gray fur jumped out.
Like the Gray Wolves, they were larger and stronger than the Brown Boars.
“Brother, I am ready! Shall we run right away?”
“No, this time it worked.”
“yes?”
As if he had adapted to some extent now, Sewoon stopped Park Jung-pil, who was about to run out on his own, without saying anything.
Until now, the numbers were adjusted to match the level of people, but if Seun’s idea is correct, it will not be necessary anymore.
“They are rushing! One, two, three!”
“Spread!”
Until now, the fighting method was to block the front with a crude shield and throw out a sharp-edged wooden stick from behind.
But now it was different. Yoo Seo-ah, who predicted that the wild boar would come out in order, came up with a new plan.
Instead of the usual camp center, I had my back turned to the wolf forest, and as soon as the wild boar came running, I quickly fell back.
Quaang!
Then the wild boars could not stop charging and smashed their heads into wooden poles.
Soon after, people’s attacks follow. It puts a one-sided attack on wild boars who are driven into a tree and can’t keep their spirits up.
In forests with many obstacles, it is much easier to deal with wild boars.
furthermore.
Kwajik!
Bang, Quaang!
-The constellation ‘Old Man Riding a Crocodile’ looks down while stroking the crocodile’s rough skin.
Kang Han-cheol’s performance has changed noticeably more than anyone else.
In the second wave, even if a wild boar rushed at him, he would fight for strength after bumping into him, but not now.
Using the force of the wild boar’s run, it grabs its molars and throws them to the other side.
‘Is it an application of Taijiquan?’
Obvious. I was using what I learned from the sparring with Seun.
In the meantime, perhaps the contract with Agares had been completed, his strength had grown stronger, and he was lifting the Gray Bore lightly like a child.
‘If this is enough, I don’t have to step out.’
Sewoon turned his back as he saw the people fighting fiercely, burning speculation.
Since I can’t gain experience with public dentistry through the wave, I’m thinking of finding a hidden piece instead. In fact, this side was able to accumulate more points than the wave.
“Brother, where are you going? Then me too… … .”
“I do not need.”
“What a pitiful word that is! No matter what anyone says, I’m not my brother’s reliable right-hand man! I will follow you wherever you go!”
“Are you going to climb that rocky mountain?”
“hehehe, have a good trip! I’ll be guarding the camp while you’re gone!”
He is a guy who can change his attitude quite quickly.
Leaving behind Park Jung-pil, who was scratching the back of his head shyly, he moved his feet in earnest.
In the third wave, the rocky mountain where the monkeys came out.
“Ok!”
Naturally, as soon as he thought he had left the entrance, monkeys began to surround him.
The number of them quickly increased to double digits as if they had summoned allies.
As if believing Sue, the guys brandish their weapons and approach Sewoon with confidence.
Of course, the result was the same as other monsters so far.
– Through the internal air, the second herb of the Heolrang sword method, the Heolrangah (血狼牙) is strengthened.
Kwajijik!
This time, I learned a new blood test method.
It was a martial art learned to deal with wolves, but the bloody sword method with internal energy did not discriminate against the enemy.
The monkeys were torn to shreds along with the weapons they were holding, soaking the rocks with blood.
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, muttered that he was looking forward to a barbecue party, but this won’t fill his stomach.
“Didn’t you promise that excessive urging would be prohibited?”
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, complains that his memory is fuzzy.
“And don’t worry, there’s something better than wild boar on this mountaintop.”
-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ gives a thumbs up saying that it believes in you.
I feel like I’m taking a child with me because I’m soothing Beelzebub. No, is this an expression more suitable for a hungry pet dog than for a child?
Sewoon, who used the power of gluttony to organize the monkeys, raised his head.
‘The difficulty here is not the monkeys.’
At first, it looked like a rocky hill would be more suitable than a rocky mountain, but after passing the entrance, the terrain completely changed.
“It’s almost square.”
Truly a sheer cliff.
Rather than a rocky mountain, the name of the rocky cliff was more appropriate.
There was no place to hold it, so there were only small crevices that had been cracked by long winds or protrusions that protruded bluntly and looked difficult to hold.
Thanks to this terrain, it was a terrain that Sewoon could not explore even with the help of the ‘guidelines of the journey’ before returning.
but.
“It’s different now.”
– Opened the treasure house of greed.
[ Baboons of Balatan Cliffs ]
– An apex predator that lives in the cliffs of Balatan, which are filled with mountains and cliffs made of rocks on all sides.
No matter how difficult the place to catch it is, no matter how extreme the slope is, it is ultimately the home of monkeys.
If that’s the case, there’s no reason why you can’t rise as a human if you use this power.
chin.
Seun put his finger in the gap in the cliff. The gap was so small that all I could do was push two fingers through it.
Regardless, Sewoon raised his other hand above his head. With only two fingers supporting the body weight.
chin, chin.
Every time I stretch out an arm, my hand shakes.
Even at the moment when I thought I had pointed it out, the gap that couldn’t stand Seun’s weight crumbled.
Every time that happened, Sewoon had to swallow his saliva while looking at the distant land.
‘If it wasn’t Mamon’s treasure, it would have already fallen.’
It was all thanks to the power bestowed by Mammon’s treasure that he was able to support himself using only this small gap, and that he was able to hold on to the cliff while enduring the blowing wind.
Where and how to hold, how to deal with the wind, how to rest in the middle of a cliff.
The experience and know-how of a monkey who had lived his entire life on the edge of a cliff were embedded in Seun’s body.
-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ asks where to eat in a place like this.
Certainly, after climbing the cliff, not even the monkey, the owner of the rocky mountain, let alone the monster, was nowhere to be seen.
I took a breath and looked up, but the end of the rocky mountain was obscured by the clouds.
By the time the impatience begins to rise. Finally, a new sight, not a solid gray rock, came into Seun’s eyes.
‘They are monkeys.’
Unlike until now, when there were only rocks, mysterious tree branches sprouted up all over the place.
The monkeys were either moving or resting on the branches.
Besides, Seun caught the eye of a hole the size of a monkey’s body dug between the cliffs.
‘Could it be that they have a separate entrance?’
It was a well-founded suspicion.
No matter how good the monkeys were, a cliff like this was not an easy place to climb.
Considering convenience as well as stability, that hole might be leading somewhere down there.
Well, even so, the hole seemed small enough that only the monkeys could barely fit through it.
“Woo-keeuk?”
I moved as carefully as I could, but one of the monkeys closest to me found Sewoon.
“Kiki!”
“Woo-keeuk?”
“Queek! Enjoy!”
A guy who announces the presence of intruders around him with startled eyes.
After resting peacefully without any worries, everyone seemed quite surprised when they found Seun.
Well, this place is in the middle of a cliff where you can’t even see the bottom. It must be difficult for them to imagine that an enemy invades such a blessed fortress.
‘For now, go up there!’
Although he climbed up to this point with the power of the treasure in his body, climbing up a cliff and even going into battle is a difficult act for Seun.
Just as monkeys move freely on tree branches, Sewoon, which is imbued with the power of monkeys, will be freed from restrictions if it goes up there.
“Rooky!”
As if they couldn’t tolerate him coming up any further, they started throwing stones at Seun.
Where the hell did you get it? It was quite threatening.
Just before their stones hit Seun.
Hwareuk!
A bright red fireball was created above Seun’s head.
The size of the fireball gradually increased as the mana circle rotated fiercely, swallowing the flying stones and rising without hesitation.
Quarreuk!
“Kiki!”
When they suddenly encounter a fireball on top of a cliff, they panic and run further up.
In the meantime, Sewoon awakened his dormant internal energy and focused his strength on his arms and legs.
The finger inserted into the crack in the rock heats up red, and the crevice that receives power “deafens” and lets out a pitiful groan.
The moment when you feel that the support can no longer withstand the force after gathering the maximum force slowly and strongly as if compressing a spring.
Taat!
Seun’s body flew up vertically.
Fortunately, the monkeys evacuated to a high place to avoid the fireball’s firepower.
Sewoon reached out vigorously to grab the nearest tree branch.
however.
‘lack!’
I didn’t think about the wind.
Sewoon’s speed was reduced by the wind that blew downward.
At this rate, I would fall without a hitch.
At that time, Sewoon calmly took out the sword from his waist. Not the usual long sword, but the ‘molar dagger’ made by Ko Chang-seok.
Knock!
‘good!’
No matter how fast Seun was growing, it was hard to stick a sword into a rock.
However, this molar dagger had an ability called ‘Low Charge’ that increased attack power and cutting power only for stabbing.
I raised my inner energy and fired a dagger, and the sword went in with enough force.
Taat!
Use that power to leap once more.
The wind, which seemed to reject the intruder, tried to push Sewoon away violently, but this time it did not work.
‘It could have been really dangerous if I was stubborn.’
Standing on top of a tree branch that was stronger than expected, Sewoon lightly shook his wrist.
Looking up, the monkeys were staring at Sewoon with their mouths wide open.
It was like a scene from a movie, and he must have been surprised by his appearance that looked more like a monkey than a monkey.
Sewoon, who got both hands free after a while, warmed up his body lightly and took out his sword at the monkeys.
“Now, where should we look for the hidden piece?”
Soon after, the bodies of the monkeys began to fall down the cliff.
