chapter 6
6. Episode 6
“There was a bit more distance than I thought.”
A weapon hidden in the forest.
In the first place, it was not voluntarily that Sewoon was able to find it before returning.
During the monster wave, I was chased by a monster into the forest, and while wandering around, I only found it by chance thanks to the activation of the travel guide.
Sewoon’s expression softened slightly as he recalled the past for a moment.
“Come to think of it, he was there.”
The one who presented himself as a meat shield. No, not only himself, but also the old man and the people who are not useful in power are the villains who put forward as meat shields.
I couldn’t use Sewoon as a meat shield anymore, but it didn’t seem like he was behaving correctly.
“Well, thanks to him, I learned the power of the ‘guidelines for the journey’.”
This is just a conclusion anyway. It is clear that he pushed the weak forward and drove them to their deaths.
Even if Sewoon wasn’t a saintly man, it wasn’t to the extent that people with ambition were touted as meat shields.
“Well, go back and deal with it.”
Securing weapons is the priority now.
A variety of smells were felt from the nose containing ‘Noll’s Upturned Nose’.
The strong smell of grass, the pungent smell of wild wolves, and even the smell of rotting animal carcasses.
Among them, there was one smell that did not go well with the poisonous forest.
That’s right, the smell of rusty iron.
I couldn’t use the guideline for the journey, but it was clear that the owner of the smell was the weapon Seun was looking for.
-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ starts whining about the stomach skin sticking to its back.
‘Somehow, it feels like raising a pig rather than a constellation.’
Perhaps, if the demon god of gluttony could read my thoughts, the teeth that were tearing at the wolf carcass would not have turned toward him.
As I thought so, the faint smell of iron intensified, and a gray mane could be seen through the bushes.
‘Grey Wolf.’
Even at first glance, he looks twice as big as the brown wolves we’ve seen so far.
Gray hair covered the whole body, and especially around the neck, a thick lion-like mane rose.
-Constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’ picks up a fork at the appearance of the main dish.
“Kreung… … .”
I tried to hide myself, but the wolf’s eyes were immediately focused on Seun.
Just as Se-jun used his sense of smell to find the location of his weapon, it seems that he also found out the location of his weapon through his sense of smell.
‘Before the return, I was busy running away.’
I didn’t think of that now.
I came out of the bush and stood proudly in front of him.
If it had been another beast, it would have swung its claws right away when its prey appeared, but this one sneakily hovered around Seun, revealing a lot of vigilance unique to wolves.
‘It’s smaller than I thought.’
The Gray Wolf’s presence in Seun’s memory was twice as large and savage.
Perhaps, at the time, my memory was inflated by fear because I encountered him while I had not yet adapted to the tower and tutorial.
And Gray Wolf, as I just said, is just ‘smaller than I thought’. Even though it was on all fours, its size was so huge that it made me wonder if it was a tiger, not a wolf.
“Kang!”
As if he didn’t feel any reason to be wary anymore, he immediately came running, showing his fangs.
Not only is it big, but its speed is also higher than that of a brown wolf.
Shuk.
The position he is aiming for is precisely the neck.
It seems that he is trying to end Sewoon’s life with a single blow by twisting the vital part at once.
However, Seun completely got out of range of his attack just by stretching out one leg.
ten years old.
Each method of the Shaolin School includes not only the method of kicking the enemy, but also the method of moving the legs to avoid the enemy’s attack and approach it.
baek!
Right after that, Seun’s right foot struck the wolf’s side.
It was a blow aimed at the gap where the attack missed, but it was Sewoon, not the wolf, who felt the pain and retreated.
“Damn, what’s so different?”
“Kreung!”
Obviously, he kicked the stomach properly, which his ribs couldn’t protect. Blocked by the muscle and leather, rather than inflicting blows, Sewoon’s legs ached numbly.
No matter how good the technology is, it is because the ability is so low.
Thanks to the Authority of Gluttony, he had barely surpassed the level of ordinary people, but he couldn’t even deal with the Gray Wolf with this.
Sak!
His sharp claws grazed Seun’s chest.
If he hadn’t pulled himself out urgently, his skin would have been cut and his ribs would have been crushed.
power and speed.
None of them can surpass him.
If it wasn’t for the footsteps of Shiro Damtou, I would have been covered in blood and being eaten by the guy’s jaws long ago.
“Kwaaang!”
Quick!
“Calling is useless. Because the wolves around here have already entered the belly of the Demon God.”
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, says that it has already been digested for a long time, and urges you to serve the main dish.
He vigorously raised his jaw and kicked it, which had come close to his nose, and fell backwards.
Perhaps realizing that Seun’s attack was not that strong, the wolf’s attack became even stronger. Even if he gets hit, he ignores Seun’s attack and thrusts his mouth in, as if it tickles him.
Accordingly, Sewoon moved hurriedly, stepping on the footsteps of Siprodamtoe.
chin.
Something caught on Seun’s leg.
I looked back and saw that the ground had risen like a tomb.
“Kang!”
“Kreureung!”
I thought I had killed all the wolves that came this far and attacked me.
Two brown wolves strode from either side of Sewoon, as if he had heard the howl of the gray wolf.
The three wolves and the tomb completely blocked all sides.
“Kreur… … .”
Gray Wolf moved his feet leisurely as if asking what he was going to do now.
As if Sewoon’s head had already entered his mouth, he licked his lips and drool.
“Kang!”
At the Gray Wolf’s cry to take over the prey, the wolves on either side aim for Seun’s vitals and rush at him.
A truly desperate situation.
Seok, seokkeol-
The necks of the two wolves that run at Seun are cracked like a lie.
Only after the two bodies fall to the floor, the blood vessel, realizing the owner’s death, vomits blood.
“Did you think I’d retreated all the way here?”
In Seun’s hand was a sword that was rusted red from being hit hard by the wind and waves of the years.
The weapon that was the goal of this journey. It’s the sword that was stuck in the grave.
Despite being so rusted, the blade was still sharp enough to cut the wolf’s body without any problems.
– Opened the treasure house of greed.
[ Hamelga long swordsmanship ]
– Basic long swordsmanship known to be handed down only to direct descendants of the Hamel family, a master of swordsmanship in the Grad Empire.
Hamelga long swordsmanship.
The reason why Sewoon chose this one among the many treasures in the warehouse is not complicated.
A ranker who reigned in the Tower in the name of the Sword Emperor before returning. Francis Hamel. Because his name came to mind.
Since it was a swordsmanship learned by someone who had risen to the position of Sword Master in the Tower, the potential of Hamel’s longswordsmanship was already guaranteed.
In addition to this, there were many martial arts that were stronger than these, such as rising martial arts such as Taegeukgeomgyeol and Byuksageombeop, or the Pantera Family’s Great Heavenly Swordsmanship, but Sewoon was not greedy.
With the current body, the most important thing is to build up step by step from the basics and grow.
In that sense, Hamel’s longsword seemed the most appropriate to Sewoon as it was a basic weapon skill guaranteed by top rankers.
“It will be a little different from now on.”
“Kang!”
Cagan!
Gray Wolf’s claws collided with Seun’s sword.
It’s an attack that I didn’t even dare to hit until I raised my sword, but now it’s different.
As soon as I let go of its claws, I stepped forward with my right foot and swung my sword horizontally.
Spark-
His skin, which was so hard, is sliced lightly like a lie.
The panicked guy quickly kicks off the ground and steps back.
“As expected, it’s a good sword.”
-The constellation ‘Crow with Head Down’ looks at your sword with strange eyes.
At first glance, it looked like it would be too rusty and useless, but I could feel it as soon as I swung it.
This sword is at least one of the best among the swords available in the tutorial.
There is no reason to step back like before, as long as you have the chance to win.
Taat!
Sewoon kicks the ground and runs towards him.
The following attacks are honest horizontal and vertical cuts, and stabbing.
To say that it was the famous Hamel family’s long swordsmanship, it was an attack that did not contain the slightest splendor.
The basic martial art of the Shaolin Sect, which is characterized by linear movements, was not to this extent.
If someone who didn’t know saw it, he would have clicked his tongue and said, ‘What kind of vision is that of a famous swordsman?’
Perfect cutting and stabbing without any distraction.
It was a clean movement that could never be shown unless someone had wielded the sword tens of thousands or dozens of times.
It contained Hamelga’s unique heavy strength and sharp spirit.
Just by simply taking out a sword technique from Mammon’s warehouse and using it, Hamel’s technique was perfectly embedded in his movements.
-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ hits the table saying he can’t stand it anymore.
I wanted to enjoy Hamel’s tricks more, but the impatient Constellation was looking down.
Sewoon also had to return to camp before the start of the second wave, so he corrected his stance to finish it.
“Kang!”
Gray Wolf moves.
It uses its strong four legs to quickly move its body in a zigzag pattern, disturbing the gaze.
As if he would never let his guard down, he focused his gaze on Sewoon and opened his mouth.
That moment.
Fu-wook!
Sewoon lightly stepped forward with his right foot.
At the same time, he held out the sword he was holding over his shoulder.
Then, Sewoon’s sword thrust into the gray wolf’s gaping mouth.
I didn’t even need to force it.
At the last moment, Gray Wolf also realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.
It wasn’t until Seun’s sword went so deep that only the handle could be seen that the wolf’s movement stopped, and his eyes rolled over, signaling the end of the battle.
– Defeated the ‘Wolf Guarding the Grave’, the boss monster of the Wolf Forest.
– The level has risen.
-Personal merit increases by 500 points.
-Obtained ‘Grey Wolf Skin’.
The goal of this journey was one more thing besides weapons.
Right away, personal public value.
There are several ways to increase public value.
Classically, the first way is to be active in tutorials like monster raids.
In the second way, you can go and defeat the monster separately like now.
Third way.
‘To defeat other players.’
In fact, the third method is often used rather than finding and defeating monsters.
It was because it was easier and more convenient to acquire high achievement values than facing monsters.
Not right now, but as the tutorial nears the end, the number of players throwing knives will increase.
“A little late.”
[Tutorial Chapter 1 – Adaptation]
-12 minutes left until the second monster wave.
Twelve minutes left until the next wave.
It seemed we had to hurry a little.
