-Constellation, the ‘hungry prince’ is fidgeting as his food gets cold.
The wolves that Park Jeong-pil had brought were instantly dealt with by Se-un. With about thirty of them down, less than half of them remained.
It was a great effort, but there were still nearly thirty wolves attacking people.
however.
– Predated the ‘Gray Wolf’.
– Absorbs nutrients to increase strength by 1 and agility by 3.
– Absorbs nutrients to increase strength by 0.1 and agility by 0.3.
…
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’ opens his mouth wide.
Se-Woon leisurely used his power of gluttony as if he didn’t even care about them and collected the wolf corpses.
“Hey, bro! That was really great! What on Earth, are you from the special forces or something? No, even if you’re a special force or something, that’s impossible!”
Park Jeong-pil was so happy that he jumped up and down in joy at Se-woon’s performance as if it were his own.
In the middle of it, he even subtly claimed credit for his actions, saying, “Brother, don’t forget that I lured those guys away!”
‘It’s useful.’
At first, he used Park Jeong-pil as bait to keep an eye on him and prevent him from having any frivolous thoughts, but his abilities turned out to be more useful than he thought.
It may have been because he was desperate to keep the beast behind him, but unlike his initial introduction of himself as the ‘Turtle of Daesan-dong’, he was fast enough to bring the Gray Wolf.
Even if it was just a survival instinct, it was clearly beyond the level of an ordinary person. Perhaps, it seemed as if he was unknowingly exerting his power as a player.
“But brother, can you help me over there?”
Park Jeong-pil pointed to the people who were still desperately fending off the wolf’s attacks.
Things were completely different than they were in the monkey era.
Dealing with gray wolves was a whole other level than dealing with brown wolves.
Even if you held out your shield, they would cleverly bite it and pull it away, breaking the battle line, and slowly wearing away people’s stamina with their hit-and-run strategy.
Already, about half of them were suffering from major and minor injuries.
‘They’re both having a hard time.’
The same goes for Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol, who stood out the most.
Even with those two, they couldn’t completely block the wolf’s attacks. They barely managed to avoid serious injuries, but they couldn’t find a surefire way to deal with them.
In particular, Kang Hyeon-cheol was even worse.
Whether it’s because of his height or his lack of speed, he’s having a hard time catching the wolf that’s rushing at him quickly and cunningly.
On the other hand, Yu Seo-ah was steadily analyzing the wolves’ attack patterns and attacking them nimbly.
“That one, if you don’t help me, it could be dangerous.”
“If you’re that anxious, you go and help.”
“Hey, aren’t you my brother’s right arm? The arm should be attached tightly to the torso!”
Even Park Jeong-pil, who cares most about his own situation, seems to be worried about the state of other people.
But there was only one reason why Seun was not helping these people.
‘If I step forward and help any further, the dependence will only increase.’
I thought back to the situation just before the raid started.
No matter how much Yoo Seo-ah screamed, people were letting their guard down, thinking that Se-woon would come forward anyway.
‘What could be wrong with someone so strong?’
That’s what I think.
Besides, if Seun goes any further than this, he will only end up hindering people’s growth.
In fact, I’ve already taken down about half of the enemies in the Monster Wave by myself.
Naturally, half of the experience points will go to Seun.
If things continue like this, people’s level-up speed will fall far behind, and instead of becoming the strong camp that Se-un had hoped for, they will end up becoming a burden that only looks out for Se-un.
“Hey, save me!”
“There! If you’re done cleaning up, please help me over here too!”
People shouted, but Se-un turned a deaf ear to their voices.
Rather, Park Jeong-pil, who was next to him, was sitting there feeling uneasy and not knowing what to do.
“Well, brother. If we leave it like that, wouldn’t it be really dangerous?”
“I have no intention of carrying a bunch of luggage.”
“Ahem… … .”
Park Jeong-pil, who perfectly understood Se-woon’s words, held his breath.
As expected, he’s a quick-witted guy. He’s probably already established a certain identity for Seun by now.
He must have realized that when he became useless, Se-un would indifferently throw him away.
“And you are still human after doing that!”
“I’m going to live alone! Damn it!”
“Am I going to die like this?”
People who realized that Se-un would not come forward started to get upset.
Se-un smiled faintly at that sight.
‘I’m glad.’
I was worried that I would collapse in fear like on the first day.
And at that moment, following Go Chang-seok, another surprising message floated up above them.
-The constellation, ‘Crown Spider’, looks at the swordsmanship of the player, ‘Yuseoah’, with interest.
The constellations’ attention is focused on Yu Seo-ah, who is wielding a sword at the very front.
Although I had anticipated the interest of the constellation to some extent through Go Chang-seok, I couldn’t help but be surprised when I read the name and figured out its true identity.
‘Baal.’
The Great Demon King, ranked first among the 72 Demon Kings and known to be the strongest.
The Grand Duke of Hell who leads the forces of the East.
Baal.
Although he did not reach the level of a demon god, he was the demon king of demon kings, reigning just below a demon god.
As Baal was a brave commander leading 66 legions of demons and was also known as a master swordsman, it was only natural that he would take an interest in Yushua.
Moreover, Baal was not the only constellation that began to take interest in Yushua.
– The constellation, ‘Chariot that Cries in the Wilderness’ stops its chariot and takes interest in the swordsmanship of ‘Yuseoah’.
-The constellation, ‘The Discontented Destroyer’, blazes towards ‘Yuseoah’.
The 52nd ranked demon lord, Alokes.
Demon King, Andras, ranked 63rd in the series.
The attention of the demon lords related to swords and battles poured into Yu Seo-ah.
‘Well, even before I returned, Yu Seo-ah had been receiving attention from many constellations.’
Thanks to Seun, the evil spirits’ eyes were focused on him, and the timing was hastened, but it was natural for the constellations’ attention to be focused on Yu Seo-ah.
Of course, soon after, all but one of the messages disappeared.
-The constellation, ‘The Crowned Spider’ frowns and bares its fangs.
No matter what kind of demon lord they are, they cannot go against Baal, the number one demon lord in the hierarchy.
and.
-The constellation, ‘The Crowned Spider’, wants to check the vessel of ‘Yuseoah’.
From that moment on, Yu Seo-ah’s movements changed noticeably.
Seok, squawk!
The sword he was swinging at the wolf became incomparably faster than before. Even though he was only holding one sword, it felt like he was swinging multiple swords at the same time.
The sight reminded me of a spider with eight legs.
‘The power of Baal.’
I could tell without even looking at the message floating above her.
Baal gave her power to see if she was worthy of receiving it.
However, Yu Seo-ah’s expression did not change at all. She handled the power given by the Demon King naturally as if it were her own.
He was in a state of trance, focusing all his attention solely on the sword and the wolf.
Phu, slurp!
Her sword cuts through the wolves without hesitation.
Not only has the speed increased, but its power has also increased significantly.
The place where her sword dug in left a cruel wound, as if a poisonous fang had been lodged in it rather than a sword.
“Ha, you can do it!”
“Now is the time! Clean up quickly!”
Her appearance brought a triumphant glow to people’s faces.
People each aimed their weapons at the wolves who were hesitating at Yu Seo-ah’s sudden activity.
– The constellation, ‘The Crowned Spider’, lifts its forelegs and rejoices greatly.
Baal’s power was not limited to simply ‘swordsmanship’. Baal, who was called a brave commander, also had great power when it came to command.
As if to prove it, people’s morale rose and their hands holding weapons became full of strength.
“Kwaaang!”
“Crunch!”
The wolves made a last-ditch effort, but the odds were already against them.
Even though they were trying to take advantage of people’s weaknesses, Yu Seo-ah appeared like a ghost and struck the wolf’s weak point.
A battle that had seemed dangerous just a moment ago ended in an instant.
[Tutorial Chapter 1 – Adaptation]
-You have successfully passed the fourth wave.
-100 points will be given to everyone who participated in the wave.
-Calculating personal achievements… … .
[ 1st place: Jeong Se-woon 4,920 points ]
[ 2nd place: Yoo Seo Ah 900 points ]
[ 3rd place: Kang Han-cheol 580 points ]
“Gasp, gasp… … .”
Only after all the wolves had fallen did Yu Seo-ah begin to grasp the situation while panting heavily.
The hot energy spreading through his body and sword, and the message of the constellation floating before his eyes.
I couldn’t understand a single thing.
But, no matter how well she handled it, was Baal’s power still too much for her to handle?
Ssuk-
As soon as her strength left her, she lost consciousness and fell to the floor.
While others were panicking and saying, ‘Oh, oh!’
Bam.
“Good job.”
Se-Woon, who was directly opposite them, came over to her and supported her back and head.
* * *
“Ugh, my leg!”
“Oh, what should I do? First, let’s wash with water… … Is there a doctor? Or a nurse!”
“I know first aid, but I don’t have any tools, so there’s not much I can do… … .”
Although the wave ended earlier than expected thanks to Yoo Seo-ah’s performance, this wave caused more injuries than ever before.
Even if you look around, it is difficult to find someone who does not have any wounds at all.
Some people had severe cuts on their legs that were still bleeding or had not regained consciousness.
“If only that person had helped… … .”
Some people clenched their fists as they recalled Seun.
Seun, who had the power to kill half of a wolf pack in one breath, but did not help them.
And just then, Se-woon, who had laid Yu Seo-ah down on the bed, was walking towards me.
No one raised their voices, because they all knew the power Seun possessed.
Se-Woon, who was looking around, raised his hand in front of the seriously injured person whose condition seemed the most serious.
“Wh, what are you trying to do! You didn’t even help me!”
“Move.”
The person blocking Se-woon’s path flinched at the sight of his cold gaze and took a step back without realizing it.
Immediately afterwards, a brilliant light began to flow out from Seun’s hand.
-The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.
[ Cure light ]
– The most basic healing magic of Baektap, it stops bleeding and relieves pain.
Srrrr-
“Huh? The wound… … .”
The patient’s wounds that were exposed to light began to heal little by little.
