[Tutorial Chapter 1 – Adaptation]
-The fifth wave begins.
-Block the monster wave and prove your existence.
The fifth wave followed shortly thereafter.
The wounds had just healed, but the tension on people’s faces was evident due to the battle that followed immediately.
It’s completely different from the fourth wave just before.
Even without Yu Seo-ah shouting, each of them was holding their weapons tightly and preparing for the monster’s attack.
“Kueeeeek!”
Wolf, boar, monkey. In that order, this time, boars with dark gray fur rushed out.
Like the Gray Wolves, they were larger and stronger than the Brown Boars.
“Brother, I’m ready! Should we jump right in?”
“No, this time it’s okay.”
“yes?”
Now that he seemed to have adapted to some extent, Se-woon stopped Park Jeong-pil from running out on his own without Se-woon saying anything.
Up until now, we’ve adjusted the numbers to fit the people’s level, but if Se-un’s thinking is right, there’s no need to do that anymore.
“They’re coming! One, two, three!”
“Scatter!”
Until now, the fighting style was limited to blocking the front with a crude shield and swinging a sharp wooden stick from behind.
But now it was different. Yu Seo-ah, who had expected the boar to appear in order, came up with a new plan.
Instead of the usual camp center, he turns his back to the Wolf Forest and quickly retreats when a wild boar runs towards him.
Boom!
Then the boars could not stop charging and banged their heads against the wooden pole.
Soon after, people attack. They launch one-sided attacks on the wild boars that are stuck in the trees and cannot come to their senses.
In a forest with many obstacles, dealing with wild boars becomes much easier.
furthermore.
Kwajik!
Boom, bang!
-The constellation, ‘The Old Man Riding the Crocodile’, looks down while stroking the crocodile’s rough hide.
Kang Cheol’s performance was noticeably different from anyone else’s.
During the second wave, even if a wild boar charged at him, he would first collide with it and then engage in a showdown, but not anymore.
Use the force of the boar’s charge to grab its molars and throw it to the other side.
‘Is this an application of Tai Chi?’
It’s clear. I was putting to use what I learned from my sparring with Seun.
In the meantime, perhaps because he had completed his contract with Agares, his strength had also grown stronger, and he was able to lift Gray Boar as easily as if he were a child.
‘At this point, I guess I don’t have to come forward.’
Seun turned his back as he watched the people fighting fiercely, their speculations burning.
Since I can’t gain public dental experience through waves, I plan to find hidden pieces instead. In fact, I can gain more points this way than through waves.
“Brother, where are you going? Then I too… … .”
“I do not need.”
“What kind of sad thing is that! No matter what anyone says, I am your reliable right-hand man! I will follow you wherever you go!”
“Are you going to climb that rocky mountain?”
“Hehe, have a safe trip! I’ll be guarding the camp while you’re gone!”
This guy is quite quick at changing his stance.
I left behind Park Jeong-pil, who was scratching the back of his head awkwardly, and started moving my feet in earnest.
The rock mountain where the monkeys came out during the third wave.
“Ugh!”
Naturally, as soon as we thought we had left the entrance, the monkeys started to surround Seun.
Whether he had called his colleagues or not, the number of guys quickly increased to double digits.
Whether they believe in numbers or not, the guys confidently approach Seun, swinging their weapons around.
Of course, the result was the same as with other monsters so far.
-The first skill of the Blood Wolf Sword Technique, Blood Wolf Fang, is strengthened through internal energy.
Kwajik!
This time, I learned a new blood sword technique.
Although it was a martial art learned to deal with wolves, the Blood Wolf Sword Technique imbued with internal energy did not discriminate against any enemy.
The rocks were torn to pieces along with the weapons the monkeys were holding, soaking them in blood.
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, mutters that he was looking forward to a barbecue party but that it won’t satisfy his hunger.
“Didn’t you promise not to rush too much?”
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, pretends not to remember anything.
“And don’t worry, there’s something tastier than wild boar on top of this mountain.”
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, gives you a thumbs up, saying that he believes in you.
When I’m trying to appease Beelzebub, I feel like I’m carrying a child. No, maybe it’s more like a hungry pet dog?
Se-Woon raised his head as he cleaned up the monkeys using his power of gluttony.
‘The trouble here isn’t the monkeys.’
At first, it looked more like a rocky hill than a rocky mountain, but once you pass the entrance, the terrain completely changes.
“It’s almost a right angle.”
A cliff that is literally cut off.
Rather than a rocky mountain, it was a place more fittingly called a rocky cliff.
There were no proper places to grab onto, and all there were were small crevices that had been torn apart by long winds and blunt protrusions that looked difficult to grab onto.
Because of this terrain, Seun was unable to explore it even with the help of the ‘Journey’s Guide’ before returning.
but.
“It’s different now.”
-The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.
[ Proboscis monkeys of the Balatan Cliffs ]
– A top predator living in the Balatan Cliffs, which are surrounded by rocky mountains and cliffs.
No matter how difficult the terrain is to catch and how steep the slope is, it is ultimately a place where monkeys live.
If so, there is no reason why you cannot become a human if you use this power.
chin.
Seun put his fingers into the crevice of the cliff. The gap was so narrow that he could only fit two fingers through.
But Se-woon paid no attention and raised his other hand above his head, supporting his weight with just two fingers.
Chin, chin.
Every time I stretch out my arms, my hands start shaking.
Even at the moment when I thought I had it right, the gap that couldn’t support Se-un’s weight would break apart.
Every time that happened, Se-Woon had to swallow his saliva as he looked at the ground that had become far away.
‘If it wasn’t Mammon’s treasure, it would have already fallen.’
The fact that I was able to support my body using only this small gap, and that I was able to stick to the cliff while enduring the blowing wind, was all thanks to the strength granted to me by Mammon’s treasure.
How to hold on and how to hold on, how to deal with the wind, how to rest in the middle of a cliff.
The experience and know-how of a monkey who has lived his entire life on the edge of a cliff were embedded in Seun’s body.
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, questions where there could be food in a place like this.
Certainly, after climbing the cliff, not only the monsters, but even the monkeys, the masters of the rocky mountain, were nowhere to be seen.
I took a moment to catch my breath and looked up, but the end of the rocky mountain was hidden behind clouds.
As he began to feel increasingly impatient, a new sight finally caught Seun’s eye, rather than a solid gray rock.
‘They are monkeys.’
Unlike before, where there were only rocks, up there, unidentified tree branches were sprouting up everywhere.
The monkeys were moving or resting on the branches.
In addition, Se-woon noticed 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 perfectly reasonable suspicion.
No matter how skilled the monkeys were, a cliff of this size was not something they could easily climb.
If we consider convenience as well as stability, that hole may be connected to somewhere below.
Well, even so, the hole looked so small that only monkeys could barely fit through it.
“Ugh?”
He moved as carefully as he could, but one of the closest monkeys spotted Seun.
“Squeak!”
“Ugh?”
“Squeak! Squeak!”
A guy who alerts the surroundings to the presence of intruders with surprised eyes.
Everyone seemed quite surprised when they discovered Se-woon while they were resting peacefully without any worries.
Well, this is in the middle of a cliff where you can’t even see the bottom. It would be hard for them to imagine that an enemy would invade this natural fortress.
‘Let’s go up there first!’
Although he had managed to get this far with the power of the treasure in his body, climbing up the cliff and even going into battle was a difficult task even for Seun.
Just as monkeys move freely on tree branches, Seun, who is imbued with the power of monkeys, will also be free of many restrictions if he climbs up there.
“Ukkiik!”
As if they could no longer tolerate any more coming up, the guys started throwing rocks at Seun.
I don’t know where he got it, but it was thick and quite threatening.
Just before the guys’ stones reach Seun.
Hurrah!
A bright red fireball formed above Se-un’s head.
The mana circle rotated violently, the size of the crater gradually increased, and it rose up without stopping, swallowing the flying rocks.
Crunch!
“Squeak!”
When the guys suddenly encounter a fireball on the cliff, they freak out and run further up.
In the gap, Seun awakened the internal energy dormant in his danjeon and concentrated his strength in his arms and legs.
The finger stuck in the crack of the rock turns red, and the crack that received the force makes a ‘thud’ sound and lets out a pitiful groan.
Slowly and strongly, as if compressing a spring, you gather as much force as possible, until the moment when the support can no longer withstand the force.
Taat!
Seun’s body flew up vertically.
Fortunately, the monkeys had fled to higher ground to avoid the fireball’s power.
Se-woon reached out forcefully to grab the nearest tree branch.
however.
‘lack!’
I didn’t think about the wind.
Seun’s speed was reduced by the wind blowing from below.
If things continue like this, we will inevitably fall.
At that time, Se-Woon calmly took out the sword on his waist. It wasn’t his usual longsword, but the ‘wisdom tooth dagger’ that Go Chang-Seok had made for him.
Bam!
‘good!’
No matter how fast Seun was growing, it was difficult to stick a sword into a rock.
However, this molar dagger had the ability called ‘Reckless Strike’, which increased the attack power and cutting power only when stabbing.
I raised my internal energy and swung the dagger, and the sword went in with enough force.
Taat!
Use that power to leap forward once again.
The wind, as if rejecting the intruder, tried to roughly push Seun away, but this time it didn’t work.
‘If I had been a little careful, it could have been really dangerous.’
Se-woon, who had climbed onto a sturdier branch than expected, lightly shook his wrist.
When he raised his head, the monkeys were looking at Seun with their mouths wide open.
You must have been surprised by the monkey-like appearance, which was more monkey-like than a monkey, just like a scene from a movie.
Se-Woon, who had finally gained freedom of both hands, stretched his body slightly and drew his sword toward the monkeys.
“Now, where should we look for the hidden piece?”
Soon after, the corpses of monkeys began to fall down the cliff.
