chapter 22
22. Episode 22
The ninth wave of tutorials has begun.
As expected, from the seventh wave, the level of monsters rose another level.
Red wolves and red boars with leather as red as blood. And what came to the people of the camp now were the red monkeys with fluttering red fur.
“Stop it, stop it!”
“Behind, behind!”
It wasn’t just that the guys’ physical abilities were strengthened.
Although he has grown in size, there were also occasional weapons made of iron among the weapons he was holding.
His intelligence seemed to have increased as well, and he was playing with people using decent tactics.
“Protect the wounded!”
“Damn it, I can’t afford to care about the wounded anymore… … .”
Monsters with red fur were powerful.
In addition, Sewoon, the strongest force in the camp, had not been seen since the sixth wave.
Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol were playing a bigger role, but from the seventh wave, injuries gradually began to occur.
In that state, the eighth wave began, and there were no casualties, but six people were unable to fight, and others were also suffering major and minor injuries.
Did you understand the situation? A few Red Monkeys pounced on the wounded.
If this is the case, the injured will be left without moving.
At that moment, two swords flew in like the wind and began to sweep away the group of monkeys.
Standing up-!!
If Sewoon had seen it, he would have recalled the ‘whirlwind’ that was her nickname before returning. No, the current appearance seemed to be more suited to ‘furious wind’ rather than a whirlwind.
Her swordsmanship, wielding two swords relentlessly, was like a spider moving its eight legs and moving between enemies.
– Corrected the posture of player ‘Seoah Yoo’, saying that the constellation ‘Crown-Wearing Spider’ is still lacking in splendor.
After she swung the sword, two swords remained like afterimages.
In the eyes of the Red Monkeys, it appeared that she wielded four swords.
Even though he had a proper weapon, he couldn’t withstand her attack.
but.
“Heh, heh… … .”
Yoo Seo-ah also lost a lot of stamina.
Others say they are giving their strength, but the battle at the camp was more like a two-man system consisting of Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Kang-cheol.
Her body was already full of wounds from dealing with Red Wolf and Red Boar.
The number of injured people increased, and thanks to the strong dependence of people, her stamina was now close to the limit.
“Rooky!”
Did he notice that Yoo Seo-ah was tired? The Red Monkeys, who had gathered for an opportunity, surrounded her.
She tried to swing the sword again, but her trembling hand was already at its limit just holding the sword.
Right after that, the moment when the Red Monkeys were about to swing their weapons.
“Huh!”
bang!
Koo Goo Goo-!!
With a booming spirit, the ground beneath them shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
In the middle, rocks bounced up or the floor collapsed, and nearly half of the Red Monkeys ended their lives.
-The constellation ‘Old Man Riding a Crocodile’ looks at the swaying ground with eager eyes.
-The constellation ‘Crowded Spider’ reveals its fangs and tells you not to intervene.
The man who caused the earthquake was Kang Kang-cheol, one of the key figures in the camp.
Having signed a contract with Agares, the Grand Duke of Hell, he, like Yuseo-ah, was demonstrating power beyond the level of an ordinary human.
but.
“thank you!”
“Catch your breath.”
“However, the wounded… … .”
“If you fall while guarding the wounded, the whole camp is annihilated.”
His condition was also not normal.
Unlike Yu Seo-ah, who fought mainly with agile movements, Kang Kang-cheol specialized in making stronger attacks while enduring attacks with his natural body.
Even though his fighting style has changed thanks to the jujutsu he learned from Sewoon, since his agility wasn’t that high in the first place, it was inevitable that the wounds would pile up.
The number of wounds visible through the torn coat was dozens.
In fact, I wondered if Kang Han-cheol was the one who suffered the most injuries in this camp.
“Can we both stop it?”
“must do it.”
I was confident even when I blocked the 6th wave without a single wound, but now I can’t see the way ahead.
Even if they blocked this wave, it seemed impossible to block the next wave.
At this moment, only one man appeared in the minds of Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol.
Sewoon Jeong.
The others didn’t know, but the two believed. that he will definitely come back.
“aaagh!”
In the meantime, a man who seemed to be messing around in the distance was running away from the Red Monkeys with a banana in his arms.
Park Jeong-pil. He was luring out some of the monkeys.
If it wasn’t for him, even Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Kang-cheol might have already fallen under the monkeys’ concentrated attack.
However, that too is already limited. In the end, he threw the banana away and collapsed between Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Kang-cheol, gasping for breath.
“Now the limit! I can’t do it anymore!”
“thank you for your effort.”
“Where the hell did my brother go? Seeing that public value keeps going up, it doesn’t look like he’s dead!”
“Ouch! Kiheek!”
“Aww!”
From the existing Red Monkeys to the Red Monkeys manned by Park Jung-pil. Dozens of monsters surrounded the three.
Cold sweat flowed from Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol’s foreheads.
Will they be able to stop this attack?
I clenched my fists with a trembling heart.
“Keeek!”
The moment the group of monkeys, so certain of victory, took off their feet.
-The constellation ‘Crowded Spider’ bows down to the Demon God.
-The constellation ‘Old Man Riding a Crocodile’ bows his head to the Demon God.
Pajijijijik!!
A stroke of lightning spread among the Red Monkeys.
Thunderbolt relentlessly pursued its prey like a snake.
The electrocuted monkeys were burnt all over without being able to scream once.
And at that moment, looking at the place where the thunderbolt occurred, Park Jeong-pil shed tears.
“Hyungniiiim!!”
* * *
– Opened the treasure house of greed.
[ Chain Lightning ]
– As one of the unique magics of Purple Tower, it is a lightning magic that sweeps the enemy lines by connecting purple thunderbolts like a chain.
The purple thunderbolt that escaped Seun’s hand swept through the enemy lines.
Indeed, like a 2-circle magic, its power was greater than the fireball that Seun used as his main power.
In an instant, about 20 Red Monkeys were burned black, and those who were hit by the weakened chain of lightning lost consciousness, revealing their whites.
‘The condition is more serious than I thought.’
If Seun hadn’t arrived properly, the wave would have failed.
Even if you look around, many of the injured are incompetent, and the condition of the remaining people is also not normal.
‘No, rather, did he endure well at this level?’
There were many wounded, but no casualties were reported.
In addition, even at a glance, the growth of Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol was tremendous.
Most of the Red Monkeys lying here must have died at the hands of the two.
Perhaps, the previous waves also flowed similarly to now.
“Hyungniiiim!!”
‘I don’t know what that guy is, but he’s stuck there.’
Park Jeong-pil.
He was the guy who used to act as a decoy, half thinking to keep an eye on him and half thinking to harass him, but he seems to be doing a better job than I thought.
even.
-The constellation ‘Snatch of the donkey’s head’ points to the player ‘Jungpil Park’ and giggles.
‘If it’s a donkey’s head, Valefort?’
The guy was even receiving the Constellation’s attention.
The Snatch of the Donkey’s Head, Valefort.
He was the sixth-ranked demon king and the duke who ruled over 10 demon corps.
Apart from this, Valefort had a famous nickname.
‘It seems to suit me well.’
Right away, it was the ‘duke of thieves’.
Although he is a powerful demon king ranked 6th in the hierarchy, he has the ability of stealing, which doesn’t seem to be of much use in battle.
With Valefort’s help, it is understandable that Park Jung-pil has been running away from the swift Red Monkey.
“Oh, magic! no way!”
“come! He’s here!”
“It’s blood!”
Because the purple thunderbolt was so splendid, people immediately recognized Seun’s existence.
Everyone resented Sewoon for suddenly disappearing, but in the end, only Sewoon could solve the situation.
than that
“Blood?”
What else do you mean by that? It seems to be talking about Sewoon, but suddenly bloody?
I’ve never heard of tinnitus being attached to a player in the tutorial, although there are cases where tinnitus is attached to a player who enters the tower.
At that time, Park Jeong-pil crept up next to Se-un.
“Brother, do you like it?”
“… … Could it be that you built it?”
“hehehe, how did you know? In the wolfskin mantle that my brother was wearing, the scent of blood spread every time he swung his sword and cast magic! Doesn’t it suit you?”
Sewoon frowned.
It was so important to the player that it was called more often than the first name.
Doing something like that without your permission.
Besides, if other people are already shouting his nickname, most people in the camp recognize Seun-il as his nickname, isn’t it?
Even so, it’s no use calling people and saying, ‘Don’t call me Blood.’
Sewoon let out a small sigh and opened his mouth.
“I will definitely give you your nickname.”
“yes? I’m honored! I’m looking forward to it. older brother!”
Sewoon made a promise. Park Jung-pil said that he would give him a nickname that matched his own.
‘for now… … .’
“Rooky!”
The ninth monster raid.
As such, the number of Red Monkeys was still high.
Even though Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol took down so many, and dozens of them were knocked down by Sewoon’s magic.
Perhaps because of the magic he just showed off, all the eyes of the Red Monkeys around the camp turned to Sewoon.
Everyone else is already exhausted and can’t even ask for help.
‘If you give it like this, I’ll be welcome.’
They seem to have gathered thinking that since there is only one enemy, they can attack as a group.
It was because he hadn’t thought about the magic Sewoon had just used.
– The power of ‘Lightning Chain’ is enhanced according to the tricks of the Black Tower.
A new mana training method jointly used this time.
The second circle that was created thanks to this was tinged with black light according to the Black Tower’s trick.
Even if it was the Black Tower’s training method, it wasn’t that you could only use black magic blindly. The Dark Mana Circle is meant to increase the destructive power of the magic used by emitting destructive mana.
Pajijiji!!
The lightning that stretched out from Seun’s hand went beyond purple and turned black.
Due to the nature of lightning magic, it was impossible to evade or defend in the first place.
Anyone who can handle mana might not know, but only the Red Monkeys could not resist Seun’s magic.
Chi-Ik-!
In the place where the black lightning passed by, only a black corpse remained.
As the power increased and the speed also increased, the black lightning swept the entire enemy camp in an instant.
