Episode 93
93. Episode 93
The battle was over quickly, even though a thousand wolves had attacked.
Even if it had been before, it would have been meaningless for Se-Woon, who had achieved 5 circles, to only show off his skills.
Of course, the wolves were a bit stronger than in the tutorial, but as long as they couldn’t withstand Seun’s magic even once, the result was the same.
‘Well, even if there was a boss monster, the result would have been the same.’
Seun’s level wasn’t just 5 circles. It was a whopping 1-year level of internal energy.
At this level, even if a monster that was impervious to magic appeared, it could be easily subdued with martial arts.
With the Diablo clan also joining the battle, led by Kanghancheol, it was only natural that the battle would end quickly.
-Designated the entire ‘Wolf Pack’ with the power of gluttony.
-The fangs of gluttony swarm the monster!
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, is greatly delighted with his long-awaited prey!
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, firmly resolves to prepare emergency food supplies in case of an emergency.
Whether it was because Seun’s power had become too strong or because the wolves were too weak, the ability value did not increase much even though he used the power of gluttony on so many wolves.
I just reached the 5th circle and only a small amount of mana was absorbed into the empty fifth circle.
Up until now, I had been able to get there faster than I thought through chance, but it seemed like it would take quite some time to get to the next level.
‘More than that, what happened?’
Se-Woon looked at the wolf being swallowed by the fangs of gluttony and was lost in thought.
Originally, there were hardly any monsters on the first floor.
You can find it if you look for it, but it was strange that wolves suddenly swarmed here, where the name of the floor itself was ‘Shelter’.
And not just one or two, but a thousand.
Besides, the movements that the wolves showed.
‘It was definitely organized.’
Compared to the tutorial, the wolves are physically stronger and more intelligent, but even so, the strategic movements we saw earlier are still incomprehensible.
It was clear that someone had given the wolves systematic orders.
The problem is, I have no idea who that is.
‘for a moment.’
A sudden attack by wolves.
While thinking about what could be the cause, Se-woon was able to recall one fact.
The most recent change in the stronghold was that Seun brought in the previous players.
“Mr. Se-Woon, you’re here early? I heard it would take some time.”
“Yuseo-ah, where is the patient?”
“If you’re talking about a patient, are you talking about the person that Se-un brought? If that person is the one, then of course he should be in the ward… … .”
“Here, help me clean up. I’m going to go check on the patient.”
“Huh? Wait a minute… … .”
Se-Woon ran urgently towards the base.
* * *
Bam!
“Clan leader?”
“What about the patient?”
“She’s lying over there. But she’s already here? It’s only been a day.”
Lee Ha-neul also took off his weapons as if he had just returned from the battlefield.
Now that she’s out of the way, the previous players may have come to their senses and escaped.
Se-Woon, who thought like that, hurriedly opened the curtains of the bed.
Knock knock!
‘after…….’
The previous player was lying on the bed with a face that looked much more relaxed than yesterday.
Fortunately, the worst predictions appear to have been wrong.
“What’s going on? Did you come back halfway because of this person?”
“… … No. The work was finished sooner than I thought.”
“Good. Well, as you can see, he hasn’t come to his senses yet. His condition has improved considerably, but I don’t think it’s a physical problem.”
Even though Se-woon didn’t ask first, she continued explaining the patient because she realized that Se-woon was very concerned about the man.
Well, even without hearing the explanation, I could tell that the man’s condition had improved a lot. Just by looking at him, his wounds had healed a lot.
Although it was only for one night, it proved how hard she had cared for the man.
“Thank you. Oh, and this.”
Seun poured out the herbs that were in his subspace pocket.
I couldn’t feel it when it was in the subspace pocket, but when I took it out, the amount was more than I thought.
“Wow! You collected so many? Thank you so much!”
“I tried to bring as many useful things as possible, but if there’s anything missing, please let me know.”
“I think this will be enough for now. It really helped me a lot!”
Her eyes, looking at the herbs, sparkled like the flowers she had seen in the garden.
As expected, she is a natural healer.
‘Should I just wait and see for now?’
Se-woon looked down at the man on the bed.
There were still many questions, but in the end, they were things that would not be resolved unless the man stood up.
at that time.
Gulp-
A notification from the belly clock was heard from Se-un’s stomach without his knowledge.
Come to think of it, I haven’t had a proper meal since I had dinner with Park Jeong-pil at noon yesterday. Not only did I come running right after finishing my training, but I also had to deal with wolves as soon as I got there.
Lee Ha-neul, who was listening to that sound, smiled lightly and opened his mouth.
“When I saw them fighting, they didn’t seem human. But when I see them like this, they’re human.”
“… … Where did you say the restaurant was?”
“Come with me. I heard that they have procured new ingredients from the village, so today’s meal will be even more delicious.”
Anyway, I didn’t think I would be satisfied with beef jerky for a while.
* * *
After that, I was careful about the border, but the wolf never appeared again.
Since he couldn’t get any useful information even after looking around the traces, Seun had no choice but to wait for the previous players to wake up.
I spent a few days wandering around looking for the hidden piece I had found before returning, but I didn’t get much out of it.
In the first place, the first floor was a ‘shelter’ as its name suggests, so there were no hidden pieces.
‘Because even the bugs in the sparkling garden didn’t know about it before.’
Even so, Se-Woon was able to achieve 5 circles, surpassing his original goal of 4 circles, so he was able to enjoy his daily life leisurely.
And one of them is this.
visor!
“You still don’t get it?”
“I’m sorry. Even if it’s called domination, there’s no image that can be captured right away… … .”
“What do you have to be sorry about to me?”
“If you happen to know anything, could you please let me know?”
“no.”
“why…….”
“Potential is not a simple power that is the same for everyone. Even if we have the same potential, the way we express it is different for each person.”
“But can’t you at least give it some reference?”
“The most important thing is to realize it for yourself. If you blindly follow other people’s ways, you’ll end up regretting it bitterly later.”
It was a duel with Yu Seo-ah.
This is because she has not yet mastered the potential of ‘domination’ that she gained by acquiring the nickname of the whirlwind.
Kang Sung-cheol used it well from the beginning because it was a very intuitive potential, but in Yoo Seo-ah’s case, it was a rather tricky potential.
Although Seun knew some information, it was ultimately best for him to learn how to use his potential in a way that best suited him.
“But aren’t Se-un and Han-cheol already using Lee Myeong-i?”
“There’s no need to rush. We’re only on the first floor of the tower. Most of the players here haven’t even gotten a nickname, let alone their potential.”
“still…….”
“And even though you can’t use your potential, your movements have improved a lot, right?”
Perhaps it was because they had more free time and had more frequent sparring sessions? Not only Kang Han-cheol, but also Yoo Seo-ah showed remarkable growth.
If Se-woon were to purely consider speed without using any special skills, it would feel like Yu-seo-ah was slightly ahead.
“Camille style dual swordsmanship. The swordsmanship that Se-un taught me suited me better than I thought.”
“What about dagger fighting?”
“I haven’t been able to use it in real combat because there was no target, but I’ve gotten pretty used to it.”
“good.”
-The constellation, ‘The Crowned Spider’, nods with his arms folded at the contractor’s dazzling movements.
After one round of sparring, we took a short break.
If it were normal, Kang Han-cheol would have appeared as if he had been waiting and requested a duel, but these days, he seems to be busy practicing the ‘Taeulseomsu-gong’ that he had previously told me about, so he doesn’t leave a corner of the base training ground.
“What about Park Jeong-pil?”
“I haven’t heard anything, but maybe he went to the village again?”
“I was thinking of teaching you some fighting techniques… … .”
“But it seems like Se-un listens well. I heard that he doesn’t drink alcohol even when he goes down to the village.”
“Of course you should. I said that if you drink it again, the intensity of the ‘education’ will increase.”
Why did you come down to the village again if you weren’t even going to drink?
At this point, it seemed like he had gone into hiding to avoid a showdown with Seun.
Some free time that I finally had.
As I was thinking about returning to the sparkling garden and further training in Manara, the main gate of the stronghold opened.
‘Is Park Jeong-pil back?’
I thought about that, but soon changed my mind after seeing the reactions of the people who followed.
If the guy had come back, people wouldn’t have rushed out to greet him like that.
“Wow, the old man is here!”
“long time no see!”
“Oh my, sir. If you’re going to come, at least let us know. You’re carrying all this stuff by yourself… … .”
“Hehe, it’s okay. In fact, I feel much more energetic than when I was outside.”
As he moved with interest, Se-Woon’s eyes caught sight of a muscular old man.
He was carrying a bundle as big as his own body behind his back, but in comparison, the person in question wasn’t even shedding a drop of sweat.
‘Well, if you only look at strength, he’s probably better than any average player.’
Go Chang-seok. The only blacksmith of the Diablo clan.
But what happens when you get to the base?
He was clearly banging his hammer excitedly as if he were at a playground in the village blacksmith shop.
‘Surely not, that guy?’
A hypothesis has emerged.
The owner of the blacksmith shop. Did he break his contract with Seun and kick out Go Chang-seok?
If that’s true, I should go back to the village right away and give him more ‘education’ than I gave to Park Jeong-pil.
While he was thinking like that, Go Chang-seok, who had been wandering around, turned his head around and ran excitedly as soon as he saw Se-woon.
He was so excited that the bundle behind him kept shaking and the metallic sound echoed like an instrument.
“Oh, you were here!”
“You were kicked out, right? Then I was the one… … .”
“Huh? What do you mean, you were kicked out? Oh, I heard about the blacksmith work. Thanks to you, I was able to work comfortably.”
Judging from the reaction, it seems like it’s not the blacksmith’s problem.
If not, why?
no way…….
“Hehe, suddenly I got this thing called tinnitus and my work went a lot faster. Thanks to that, I was able to make your equipment earlier than I thought.”
“Already?”
“I wanted to show you quickly, so I packed everything and ran all the way here.”
Se-Woon’s eyes, which were usually not surprised by anything, opened wide.
The number of pieces of equipment Seun had requested was not one or two.
In addition to the basic armor set, he was asked to create a variety of weapons of different types, so he would have had to create at least 10 different pieces of equipment.
How could you complete such an order in just a few days?
furthermore.
‘Tinnitus… … .’
Unlike the combat-oriented ones like Se-un, Kang-cheol, and Yoo-seo-ah, he is a blacksmith who belongs to the production-oriented group.
It was known that in such a production system, it was much more difficult to obtain nicknames than in the combat system.
However, Go Chang-seok only obtained his nickname on the first floor of the tower.
It was an incident that showed that Se-Woon’s potential was greater than he had thought.
“Okay, let’s check it out quickly!”
Go Chang-seok put down his bundle and excitedly untied the knot.
Right after.
– The constellation, ‘The Soldier in the Golden Crown’ shrugs his shoulders, saying that it would be impossible to create any better equipment with this material.
Between the unpacked bundles, the equipment that Go Chang-seok had created began to appear.
