NOVEL NEXT chapter 7
7. Episode 7
– Predated the ‘Wolves Guarding the Grave’.
– Absorbs nutrients to increase Strength by 3, Agility by 5, and Stamina by 2.
Before returning to the camp, he did not forget to use the Power of Predation to fill Beelzebub’s stomach.
“Are you saying you can absorb more stats from the boss monster?”
A total of 10 abilities have been raised this time.
Compared to the increase in stats of 3 when the brown wolf was first eaten, it was a figure that exceeded three times.
With this, not only did all of his stats exceed 10, but his agility reached 20.
It was quite a player-like ability compared to the poor ability I checked at first.
-Constellation, if ‘The Hungry Prince’ is meat, then I’m satisfied with the taste of chewing it at this level.
Beelzebub seemed satisfied too, so it was a very satisfying first journey.
‘Let’s check the items before arriving.’
A sword pulled from a grave and leather obtained from hunting Gray Wolf.
I thought leather was just a material type item, but surprisingly it was an item that could be equipped right away.
[Sword of Forgotten Hero]

no wonder.
I thought it was sharper than rusty, but it seems that it felt that way thanks to the attack power increase option.
Originally, the ability attached to an old and rusty weapon is bound to be weakened, but this sword even had a positive ability called ‘Iron Dog’.
The same goes for the skin of a gray wolf.
The tough leather I felt when dealing with him was applied as it was, so the defense was usable, and I liked the attached ability.
Above all.
“Even before you properly take care of both of them, it’s like this.”
Rust on the sword can be removed, and dull blades can be sharpened with a whetstone. The gray wolf’s skin will also become more usable after being tanned.
If that happens, both will rise to at least a D+ grade.
Considering that most of the items you can get at the beginning of the tutorial are around F, it was a huge income from the start.
-The constellation ‘Crow with Head Down’ looks down at your sword and gives you a nonchalant look, saying that you don’t think you’re trash.
A crow with its head down.
Except for the first time he used the warehouse, there was almost no reaction, and like a greedy demon, Sewoon showed interest as soon as he checked the item.
A new message came to my mind as I was almost out of the woods with my sword in hand and a cloak roughly wrapped around my shoulder.
[Tutorial Chapter 1 – Adaptation]
– The second wave begins.
– Defend the monster wave and prove your existence.
As expected, the wave started before Seun arrived.
I remembered the promise with Yoo Seo-ah that I would return before the wave, but I didn’t care too much.
Rather, it’s a good opportunity to see people’s reactions.
What Seun wants is to bring people with will. I had no intention of taking the one who did nothing and was only a nuisance.
Seruk.
Sewoon lowers his stance and opens the last bush.
“Kyaaagh!”
“Damn it, a wild boar after a wolf!”
“Was the pig such a strong animal? Whoops!”
“Ha, you can! Stop it now!”
– While the constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ was munching on meat, he salivated while looking at the scene in front of him.
Dozens of wild boars and people fighting desperately came into sight.
* * *
“Stop! Stop it!”
“Queeek!”
It was the same as in the first wave.
The moment the number indicated by the system message became 0, the monster appeared as if it had been waiting for it.
The only difference is that the enemy was a wild boar, not a wolf, and that it appeared from the side of the hill rather than the forest.
Moreover, the tactics of the enemy were completely different from those of the first wave of wolves.
If the wolves formed an enveloping formation and held their breath step by step, the wild boars rushed at people, baring their blunt fangs as soon as they appeared.
Puck!
“Heuk!”
“Damn it, what power!”
How many times have modern people come face-to-face with wild boars?
The power of the ‘beast’ called the boar that they faced directly exceeded their expectations.
It was impossible to block the charge in the first place, and even if they moved their bodies to avoid it, they quickly twisted their direction, not befitting the name of pigs.
‘If I hadn’t been carrying this, I would have been helpless too!’
In the meantime, cold sweat ran down Yoo Seo-ah’s forehead as she held the thick stick she had found in the forest.
discussions with people? At first I thought it was going well, but it got messed up by a few people. It’s because of those who are hiding behind the weak.
“Stop! Don’t dodge, stop!”
“What one! Hey, you said you were working for our company! If you don’t want to be cut, fight properly!”
In particular, a middle-aged man wearing a ragged suit and half-naked.
“When I return, I will give you a reward! what? do you know who i am Even if I look like this, I’m the president of Toun Corporation! It’s like ruining a person’s life… … .”
He skillfully wielded a carrot and a whip to seduce the weak-willed.
Those who were weak had no choice but to bow their heads, and those who were worried about returning to Earth also bowed their heads.
I wanted to run right away and stop his tyranny, but Yoo Seo-ah couldn’t afford it.
“Kuk!”
The boar’s fangs grazed her thighs.
I thought I was avoiding it, but my pants get caught in my molars and tear all the way through, leaving a long scar inside.
I tried to wield a wooden stick, but it was difficult to deliver a proper blow.
Helping others is, after all, only possible with strength.
Why?
In this urgent situation, a man’s face came to mind.
A man who went into the forest, saying that discussion was unnecessary. In the end, a man who doesn’t appear even when the wave starts, perhaps because he was bitten by a wolf in the woods.
The words he tossed out as he left lingered around like an echo.
‘As it is… … .’
As dark thoughts invaded her mind, she slapped her cheeks with both hands.
Shaking her head and coming to her senses, she again picked up the wooden stick at the boar.
“Queueek!”
Then, another wild boar’s roar came from behind.
The moment you panic because you don’t know where to point your sword.
Awesome!
“… … you are?”
Above the corpse of a wild boar that was lying on the ground with its neck cut, Sewoon appeared.
* * *
‘He fights better than I thought.’
This is my impression of watching people fighting wild boars.
Of course, I’m not talking about fighting power.
will.
A few people were still in fear, but quite a few people were doing their best to fend off the wild boar.
especially.
‘Kang Han-cheol, Yoo Seo-ah.’
The skills of the two stood out.
Kang Han-cheol was fighting the wild boar using his large size and strength, and Yoo Seo-ah was dealing with the wild boar using quick movements and weapons.
The number of wild boars that fell at the hands of the two has already exceeded four.
To say that in a situation where there was no proper equipment, they were indeed those with high potential.
‘Shall we go soon?’
Taat!
Seun stood up.
Perhaps it was lack of strength or lack of concentration, he rushed behind Yoo Seo-ah, who was stiff between the two wild boars.
Awesome!
Hamelga long swordsmanship.
I couldn’t cut the whole head because I didn’t have enough strength yet, but it was enough to cut the nape of the neck where the bones weren’t protecting it.
The wild boar, cut in the vitals in an instant, couldn’t overcome the inertia and rolled on the floor.
However, I couldn’t help but feel my wrists tingle from the reaction.
“… … you are?”
Yoo Seo-ah opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth, but the wild boars who saw the death of their colleague were raising their fever and stamping their feet.
“First of all, those guys.”
– Opened the treasure house of greed.
[ High Orc Tendon ]
– The sinews of the High Orc, a race that is inherently strong and fighting spirit, contain the tough life force unique to the Orc.
Kwak!
Power went into the hand holding the sword properly.
The leather surrounding the handle of the sword twisted and wrapped around my hand.
It is not possible to raise the ability level itself with the treasures in Mamon’s warehouse, but it is possible enough to supplement the body like this.
Of course, this can only be used if the body can handle it.
“Queeek!”
Utilizing the unique movement of Shiro Damtou, he easily avoided the boar’s attack and stabbed his sword into his side.
I could clearly feel the desperate wriggling of his thick muscles in my hand.
As if not letting go, the muscles gripped the sword tightly.
but.
Whoops!
“Queuck!”
Could it be because of the ‘High Orc Tendon’ I just used? Rotating the sword with stronger power than usual, he was able to rupture the muscles of the guy holding the sword.
‘No, it’s not that my strength has gotten stronger, it’s that it’s easier to handle it.’
Human muscles are limited in their output to prevent self-destruction.
In addition, a great part called the high orc tendon was added to increase the output that the muscles can produce.
As he drew his sword, blood poured out through the hole in his side.
Seok-seokkeol!
Courage!
One by one, the boars who had been rampaging like their own world began to be organized quickly.
People who had been shrunk by the guys’ momentum also gained momentum with Seun’s appearance.
In the meantime, someone’s hand came up on Seun’s shoulder, who was concentrating on the battle.
chuck!
“Hey, wait!”
Reflexively swinging the sword, realizing that the opponent was not a wild boar, stopped moving just before the sword reached the opponent’s throat.
A middle-aged man with his hair half-naked, taking out a damp handkerchief and wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
Suddenly, my impression was frowned upon.
“Hey, you fight really well! It’s on a different level from those useless things over there!”
Sweat dripped from his shoulder.
Sewoon frowned even more at this, but the man didn’t care and continued talking.
“Hey, won’t you be my bodyguard? Even if I look like this, I’m the president of a town company! You must have heard the name?”
I couldn’t remember.
Although he said his body had just arrived at the tower, Seun’s spirit was that of a veteran who rolled as he wished in the tower.
Most of the memories that were on Earth were forgotten in memories. Even if it’s not that, how many people will remember even the name of such a company one by one?
“If I go back, I will do my case well! How much do you want?”
Despite the series of questions, Seun’s answer was not heard.
In the meantime, new wild boars continued to flock around. He smelled the blood of his comrades on Seun’s sword.
Perhaps feeling the danger, the man spoke faster.
“Ah, if you want, I’ll give you a position as the CEO of our company! You will be treated much better than most large corporations!”
does he know?
It’s a big company, so it’s a manager. That there is no meaning as long as you are in the tower.
The tower is only one-way. Since you have already entered the tutorial, going back to Earth is impossible.
Sewoon, who had been listening to the man’s proposal, finally opened his mouth.
“Good.”
“hahahaha! I knew it! That’s a smart choice! If you protect me properly, I will live forever… … .”
“Finally, I needed a decent meat shield.”
“Yes, the meat room… … what? what now… … .”
Took.
Sewoon lightly pushed the man’s belly with his foot.
There was no need to use the angle method, just a little bit of force, and the man couldn’t overcome his body weight and slammed his butt on the floor.
“Because they are big, I only take care of four.”
“Muh, what!”
“Queeek!”
Four wild boars gathered around the man as if they had understood Seun’s words.
The man hurriedly tried to run away, but he couldn’t get up right away, perhaps because of his thick belly.
-The constellation ‘Crow with Head Down’ smiles at you while recognizing your tendency.
-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ is whining that he should quickly bring me delicious meat, leaving such a tasteless bastard behind.
The man screamed, but no one came to rescue him.
