“Wow, the wind is nice! It couldn’t be better, except for the slight discomfort in my butt!”
Immediately after receiving Se-un’s reconnaissance order, Park Jeong-pil quickly moved forward, not forgetting to show off ‘Baekrang’ to the people.
Indeed, was it a wolf? It was a speed on a whole other level than the speed at which he had been running.
Moreover, the skeleton named Baekrang was stretching its legs evenly without getting tired, perhaps due to its undead nature.
“Come on, faster! Yay!”
How fast is this feeling?
Before I came here, I used to walk around the streets showing off the foreign cars I bought with every penny I had. I felt exactly like that right now.
‘As expected, it was a good decision to follow my brother!’
Park Jeong-pil thought.
I was chosen by that constellation, I gained the second-in-command position in the camp, and I acquired this skeleton called Baekrang that was no less than a foreign car.
It’s all thanks to following Seun.
-The constellation, ‘Donkey-headed Snatcher’, squeaks with laughter at what is about to happen.
“Huh? What do you mean?”
Constellation, the donkey-headed thief. The sixth-ranked demon lord, Balefor.
He gave strength to Park Jeong-pil, but he always sent messages out of the blue and made fun of his actions.
It’s the same now.
It’s a cool scene from a movie where you’re galloping across the plains on a white skull wolf, but what’s so funny about it?
The moment I thought that.
Phi Phi Bhi Bhi-!!
Something sharp was flying from all directions.
“Wow!”
-Player Park Jeong-pil used ‘Hurry’.
In a hurry.
It was an ability that Park Jeong-pil received from the constellation ‘Donkey-headed Snatcher’.
As the ability was used, Park Jeong-pil flailed his body as intended and lifted the saddle to block the attack.
Pooboobook!
Pooboobook!
Fortunately, the power was not that strong, and most of the attacks either hit the skeleton’s body and fell, or did not penetrate the saddle and just went through the leather.
“What the hell!”
When I came to, the leather and the floor were full of sharp thorns.
Even if it hit, it didn’t seem like it would cause a fatal wound, but there was something sticky stuck to the tip of the thorn.
Since Park Jeong-pil was often exposed to novels and movies, he could easily predict that they were ‘poisonous needles’.
“What kind of guys!”
“Keeeek!”
“Keep! Kick! Kick!”
The moment Park Jeong-pil was about to get angry, the monsters that had been stinging him rose up.
They had grass stuck all over their skin, so it looked like a whole section of the meadow was rising up.
Green skin, small stature, thin limbs and a protruding abdomen in contrast. A long, slit mouth with protruding teeth.
“Oh, goblin?”
Park Jeong-pil was confident.
The fact that the guys were goblins, monsters they had seen in games and movies.
Besides, the numbers were enormous.
At a glance, there seemed to be dozens. No, hundreds.
The moment he saw it, only one thought came to Park Jeong-pil’s mind.
-Player Park Jeong-pil used ‘Heurebultteok’.
“Eww!”
-The constellation, ‘Donkey-headed Snatcher’ bursts into laughter, clutching his stomach and rolling on the floor.
Line march.
Park Jeong-pil gave Baekrang the order to escape without any hesitation or regret.
Thanks to the ability he received from Balefor, he was able to gain instantaneous speed and escape from a group of goblins in an instant, even though he was ugly.
“Keeeek!”
“Keep on, kick on! Keeek!”
And then the goblins started following them.
Normally, it would have been normal to start reorganizing after the surprise attack failed, but in the eyes of the goblins, Park Jeong-pil was a fun prey. No, he was just a fun toy.
He moved his legs, throwing away his goblin-specific intelligence, like a cat chasing a fluttering feather.
Although it is not known whether it was Park Jeong-pil’s power or the power of the constellations, in some sense it was clearly an outstanding talent.
Of course, it may be the worst talent for him.
“Save the people!”
“Kekekeke!”
“Keel, keeel, keeel!”
A scene where a boy playing a flute comes to mind.
Park Jeong-pil ran desperately across the grassland, encouraging Baekrang.
Even in the midst of all this, the direction was pointed precisely in one direction. In Park Jeong-pil’s mind, there was only one person who could solve this situation.
Seun.
If you go to Se-un, he will do something for you.
As I was running so desperately, I suddenly noticed a carriage and people in the distance.
“It’s my brother!”
Park Jeong-pil desperately searched for Se-un.
And was it an illusion? It was clear that the distance still didn’t seem that far, but somehow Park Jeong-pil felt like he could see Se-woon’s face.
“yes?”
Se-woon opens his mouth, as if he is saying something to Park Jeong-pil.
The meaning is clear… … .
‘Sleep. Woman.’
“Seo, no way, hyung!”
Hurrah!
A huge fireball was created in front of Seun’s hand.
How can you not know?
Park Jeong-pil’s face turned pale as he had seen so many magic tricks while working as Se-un’s herder.
“Is this something that can be done by just sleeping?”
Kwaruruk!
– The constellation, ‘Donkey-headed Snatcher’, cannot bear the laughter and collapses in his seat, out of breath.
A fireball the size of a house quickly approached right before Park Jeong-pil’s eyes.
* * *
Kwaaaaang!!
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, cheers at the appearance of a snack, thinking he would die of hunger.
Dozens of goblins were brutally set ablaze in a single attack. As expected, magic was the only thing that worked against multiple enemies.
“Keeeeeek!”
I looked towards the direction the goblins had set up, having come to their senses from Park Jeong-pil’s temptation.
Even though we had killed dozens of goblins, the difference in strength was still several times.
Those who confirmed their numerical superiority let out a shrill scream and fired their poisonous needles.
“Everyone, hide behind the carriage!”
Even though she was attacked from a long distance for the first time, Yu Seo-ah did not panic and evacuated the people.
However, Seun did not follow her instructions. Instead of hiding, he stepped forward and charged at the goblin.
“Mr. Seun!”
“Yoo Seo-ah, Kang Han-cheol. Follow me.”
“i get it.”
At Se-woon’s instructions, Kang-cheol Kang followed without a moment’s hesitation, and Yoo-seo-ah also seemed to hesitate for a moment, but quickly followed Kang-cheol’s lead.
Meanwhile, hundreds of poisonous needles began to fall from the sky.
“Clap clap clap!”
The goblins expected victory.
There was no blind spot to avoid the poisonous stings from the three people running towards them, and there were no shields.
However, just before reaching Se-un, their poisonous stingers lost their power and bounced off as if it were a lie.
-The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.
[ Wide shield ]
– A magic created by improving the shield to defend against wide-range attacks such as arrows from the colorless magic tower.
Wide shield.
It was difficult to defend against strong attacks like swords in close combat, but it was the most efficient magic for blocking poisonous stings like this.
The range was much wider than that of a normal shield magic, protecting Seun as well as Yu Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol who were following behind from the poisonous needles.
“Keeeeeek!”
The goblins drew their weapons. As the distance grew closer, they chose close-range weapons over poison darts.
The day was over, and it looked rusty, but it was still a proper iron weapon. That explained the difference from the first chapter of the tutorial very well.
The moment he reached the goblin formation, Seun raised his hand once again instead of his sword.
-The power of ‘Lightning Chain’ is strengthened according to the Black Tower’s magic.
Phage crackle!
A black lightning bolt struck the goblin horde.
He poured out all of his remaining mana, and with the Black Tower’s magic applied, its power was almost like a 3-circle magic.
Goblins struck by lightning would experience brief convulsions before their death.
Immediately after, Kang Han-cheol and Yoo Seo-ah, who had been following Se-woon, also moved forward.
-Player Kang Han-cheol uses ‘Open War’.
Kwarrrrung!
As the strong iron struck the ground, the grassland split open in agony.
Goblins were impaled by flying rocks and crushed between cracked earth.
The range and power are comparable to Seun’s magic. What’s surprising is that this is an attack that doesn’t use any mana at all.
Only strength.
There, the second-ranking demon lord, Agades, was given huge wings.
-Player Yushua uses ‘Tarantula’s First Leg’.
Standing, standing, standing-!!
Yu Seo-ah’s performance was also outstanding.
She quickly moved among the goblins, using the dual swordsmanship and magic she had learned from Seun not long ago.
The Demon King, ranked first in the hierarchy, had an ability he received from Baal, so the afterimage of his attacks remained and it looked like he was swinging four swords.
The sight was just like seeing a wolf thrown into a flock of sheep.
“Let’s help too!”
“I can’t leave it all up to just three people!”
Those who had been avoiding the poison darts from behind the carriage also joined the battle.
Goblins’ strengths lie in their cunning intelligence, their use of poison and tools, and their group life. In a one-on-one fight, even a normal player who has not made a contract with a constellation can easily deal with them.
“Key, key!”
The goblins began to panic.
Clearly seeing the overwhelming numerical superiority, they picked up their weapons, but in an instant the tide of battle turned completely around.
Although the goblins still outnumbered them, victory was not yet in their minds.
Kwakwang!
Meanwhile, Se-Woon was observing a peculiar being who had intervened in the battlefield as an ally.
Skeleton.
A skeleton pulling a carriage was jumping between goblins.
Since Se-un didn’t do it, there was only one person who could do such an activity.
‘Baek Hyeon.’
His skeleton was excellent.
I didn’t feel the low defense or attack power that is typical of skeletons. They were moving around the battlefield roughly with natural movements, just like a real wild boar.
If he succeeds in raising the manticore’s corpse, expectations are already high as to how powerful he will be.
– You successfully fended off a surprise attack by a group of goblins.
-1,000 points will be awarded to all personnel who prevented a surprise attack.
“Key, keyeeeek!”
“Keeeeeek!”
The goblins started to run away.
People excited by the victory shouted and tried to follow the goblins.
At that time, Se-Woon stepped forward and stopped the people running towards him.
Yu Seo-ah, who realized his intentions, came next to Se-un and calmed the people down.
“You’ve all worked hard! If you keep following us, you might run into a trap or a surprise attack, so let’s reorganize first!”
“Yes, sis!”
“That’s right. If we get ambushed by those guys, it’ll be really dangerous.”
Se-woon smiled slightly at Yu Seo-ah’s excellent leadership. However, that wasn’t the reason Se-woon stopped the people.
‘Those guys, if they run away, that means they have a separate base.’
Before the return, it was something he had never thought of in a series of desperate situations. It wasn’t part of the plan, but Se-Woon thought of this as a new hidden piece.
“Yuseo-ah, once you’re done reorganizing, don’t worry about me and just go.”
“Yes? Where are you going?”
“To follow the goblins.”
“No, um… … I guess Se-un is thinking, but how are you planning to follow me?”
“Don’t worry. If you just follow the wheel tracks, you won’t miss it.”
“… … Okay, I understand. You must return safely.”
“of course.”
I remembered my first meeting with her right after I returned. At that time, Yu Seo-ah had stopped Se-woon from heading to the Wolf Forest to find a weapon.
Compared to that, I could see how much stronger my faith in Seun had become.
“Jeongpil, you’ve worked hard.”
“Tongue, brother… … !”
Se-woon opened the warehouse, took out one of the lowest-grade potions, and threw it to Park Jeong-pil.
Even though his condition didn’t look good and things didn’t go as planned, it was Se-woon who had him do the reconnaissance.
Se-woon left, leaving behind Park Jeong-pil who looked impressed.
Following the goblins who were desperately running away, limping.
