– Successfully preyed on the ‘level of the board’.
– Absorbs nutrients and increases all abilities by 10.
-By absorbing the power of ‘Pan, the God of Shepherds’, the ‘Satyr’s Stigmata’ is created.
What is the stigmata?
It was the power of God itself, which was said to only come from those chosen by God.
A power given only to a very small number of apostles who receive absolute faith, trust, and love from God.
The moment it is engraved, it is a power that allows one to transcend human standards and achieve transcendence.
Naturally, there were no stigmata on Seun before his return.
After being teased by Pan, Seun’s affection for the gods completely waned, and the gods also didn’t show much interest in Seun, who had no special abilities except for the ‘Journey’s Guide’.
In this life, even though I was interested in the two demons, I didn’t expect anything like the stigmata, since it was separate from becoming an apostle or being trusted.
Such a stigmata was appearing on the back of Se-un’s right hand.
‘The power of gluttony, is it a more fraudulent power than you think?’
Of course, it is not very common for a player to dare to lower the status of a god.
No, for an average player, it would be nearly impossible to even encounter the rank of a god right in front of their eyes.
However, Seun could do it. Seun knew not only the board, but also the personalities and weaknesses of many constellations.
If I can continue absorbing the power of other gods like this… … .
‘perhaps.’
It may be possible for Seun to become the constellation itself.
While I was thinking like that, the satyr stigmata carved into the back of my hand completely took shape.
The stigmata, which resembled a mountain goat’s horn, were emitting an eerie, dark brown light.
[ Satyr’s Stigmata (Seal) ]
Category: Stigmata
Rating : ??
Description: A stigmata imbued with the power of Pan, the god of nature and herding, and thus possesses dormant potential as a deity.
Ability: 1. (Seal)
2. (Seal)
3. (Seal)
As I focused on the stigmata, the ability emerged as if it were an item.
The problem is that all abilities are sealed?
I was wondering how the seal could be broken, but the system quickly provided an answer.
-Absorption of the level is in progress.
– Absorbs a lot of nutrients through the power of gluttony, or increases the absorption power of the stat through certain conditions.
hour.
It was a very positive condition for Se-Woon, who had just finished the second chapter of the tutorial.
The power of gluttony will continue to be used in the future, so it is certain that it will accelerate as well.
I don’t know what the specific conditions are, but it’s something that will be resolved eventually.
Se-Woon’s face broke into a deep smile as he gained an unexpected ‘level’ despite having simply pulled down the board out of revenge.
“Then, shall we go back?”
The monsters would have stopped being controlled since the panflute’s sound had disappeared, but they were already engaged in battle with the clan.
It didn’t seem like he would quietly return to his territory once the control was released.
Even in the last scene Se-un saw, the number of monsters was so huge that he would need help.
Taat!
Seun leaped towards the clan riding a red skeleton called Baekrang, or rather Jeokrang (赤狼), which would be more fitting now.
* * *
“Kuaaaang!”
“Koooo!”
Boom, quaaaaang!!
A tidal wave of monsters rains down on Seun’s clan.
It feels like all the monsters I’ve seen on my way up here have all shown up.
They were somehow holding on thanks to the close grouping around the carriage, but the situation did not look good.
“Damn, it’s like Monster Wave!”
“Still, don’t you think we’ve become a lot stronger compared to then?”
“surely!”
Chapter one of the tutorial, Adaptation.
At that time, except for Se-un, Kang Han-cheol, and Yoo Seo-ah, no one contributed much to the clan.
But what about now? Everyone was fighting the monsters properly as a proper player.
Of course, I couldn’t keep up with Kang Han-cheol or Yoo Seo-ah.
Once they formed a formation, it was possible to protect the carriage and fend off monsters.
In addition, among these, there were some players who stood out especially recently.
Bam!
Knock knock!
Kookwakwakwang!!
Two skeletons sweeping through the enemy lines.
That’s right, it was the skeleton that Baekhyun had summoned.
He was already handling two skeletons, somehow, and their power was different from that of regular skeletons.
The average skeleton has no ligaments or muscles, so its defense and stability are extremely poor.
His skeleton moved around the battlefield as if it were alive, and it could easily take any kind of attack.
Although he hasn’t raised a manticore yet, his power has been of great help.
Next is Lee Ha-neul, who was active as the clan’s healer.
Under Seun’s advice, she was able to realize new abilities by aligning with the constellations. Now, she could demonstrate incredible powers not only in healing but also in combat.
-Player Lee Ha-neul uses ‘Blood-Soaked Ward’.
Phew!
Blood began to spurt out like crazy from the monsters’ large and small wounds.
It didn’t matter how big the wound was. If there was even a small wound, the blood would flow without stopping.
There were some monsters with excellent regenerative powers, but they could only barely control the bleeding. They could not heal wounds with the same regenerative powers as before.
Thanks to this, the combat efficiency of not only Yusua but also other people increased tremendously.
-Constellation praises the contractor, saying that ‘Bloody Lion’ was not bad for a first time.
“Thank you, Marbas.”
-The constellation, ‘Bloody Lion’, coughs and turns his face away, telling you what you have to be thankful for and to focus on the battle.
“yes!”
Even so, there were too many monsters.
When people are holding their breath while looking at monsters that quickly rise up again even after being blocked and knocked down.
Booooo-
From somewhere, the sound of a magnificent instrument was heard.
The sound of the wind in the vast forest, the sound of water hitting rocks in the stream, the sound of insects filling the forest, etc.
It was a dreamy performance, as if all the sounds of nature had been combined.
But that didn’t seem to be the case for the monsters.
-The monsters heard the ‘Cry of Confusion’.
– Due to his outstanding playing skills, many monsters fall into ‘confusion’.
-Monsters in confusion cannot distinguish between enemies and attack.
“What is this… … ?”
The monsters’ condition has become strange.
Sometimes he wanders around as if he has forgotten what he was doing, and sometimes he attacks the ally right next to him.
Roughly half of the monsters showed abnormal symptoms, completely turning the situation around.
Although most people were confused, some people, including Yoo Seo-ah and Kang Han-cheol, could easily tell.
‘There’s only one person who can do something like this.’
Jeong Se-woon.
It’s clear he’s back.
Thinking so, Yu Seo-ah shouted with all her might.
“Now is the time! Let’s take advantage of the confusion and quickly drive them out!”
“Let’s get everything sorted out before my brother gets here!”
“Yeah, I can’t leave everything to you forever!”
Kwaaaaang!!
To the mysterious sound of the pan flute, people stepped onto the path of reversal.
* * *
When we almost reached the clan.
Se-Woon had to change his original thoughts as he watched the people engaged in a fierce battle.
‘You fight well, don’t you?’
I thought it would be difficult because there were so many monsters. But the rate at which people grew was faster than Se-woon had imagined.
The original plan was to quickly clear out the monsters by casting spells as soon as they arrived, but if things were to go that way, there seemed to be no need for Seun to get involved.
instead.
‘It’s okay to mess around a little.’
Se-Woon took out the ‘instrument that resembles a fairy’.
Although it is an item that has inherited the power of the holy relic, if the level of performance is low, it becomes less useful than a D-class weapon.
Seun, who had been an adventurer before returning, had no great affinity for musical instruments or performances, but it was not a problem.
-The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.
[ Sheet music of the rough sea ]
– A military song played by the Naga clan, a half-human, half-snake tribe, to subdue their enemies on the battlefield.
Seun has Mammon’s treasure vault.
Boooooong-
The panflute began to play.
As it was a military song, it was a magnificent performance that was enough to make you conscious just by listening to it.
However, the enemy was different. It was the military song that gave courage to the allies and a threat to the enemy.
“What the heck?”
“Koooo!”
The monsters became confused and started to run wild.
It’s a movement that seems to have lost all sense of reason, such as attacking a colleague, falling to the ground.
Boom, bang!!
With that, the clan’s counterattack intensified.
It was only natural that the situation for the monsters would worsen in the tense standoff.
With Yu Seo-ah in the lead, the people’s footsteps became faster and faster, and soon all the monsters that had been swarming like waves fell to the ground.
There were so many monster corpses that it was worrisome to move the carriage.
-Sudden Quest, successfully blocking the Revenge of the Shepherd.
– 5,000 points will be awarded to all personnel who prevented a surprise attack.
With this, all of Pan’s schemes were successfully blocked.
After finishing playing, Se-Woon put away his pan flute and returned to the clan.
As we arrived in front of the people who were busy cleaning up, Yu Seo-ah was the first to come out and greet Se-woon.
“As expected, it was Se-un.”
“I just helped out a little because everyone was fighting so well.”
“Quickly tell people… … .”
“It’s okay. I just shortened the time, but you would have won without me.”
This was the truth.
From the moment the board’s performance ended and the waves of monsters stopped, the outcome was practically decided.
“Hyungniiim! I believed in you!”
I grabbed Park Jeong-pil’s forehead and pushed him away as he rushed towards me.
Should I call this love and hate?
Because of the memories from before my regression, I still felt uncomfortable inside no matter how close we were.
I felt a little moved by the sight of Park Jeong-pil returning the white wolf and running on both feet to lure the monsters and pave the way.
“Oh, thank you.”
“Oh, White Wolf! … … Huh? Bird, what color?”
“I’m sorry. I may have overdone it… .”
“Oh my goodness, red! Brother, how do you know my taste! The horse I rode on Earth was exactly this color! Kia!”
“… … .”
“Your name is Jeokrang from now on! Oh my, so pretty! Hahahaha!”
I was a little concerned because it was Se-un who raised it and handed it over to Park Jeong-pil, but I guess there was no need to worry about it.
Still, I tried to be careful because the power of the Red Hare was infused into my bones and they were strained.
“Wow! Your bones have become stronger and your joints have become more solid! However, there seem to be a lot of areas that have been strained… …Can I help you with that a little bit?”
“Ah… … yes, of course.”
“Thank you! Since I don’t have any muscles, the shock applied to my body is all absorbed by my bones, so this is… … .”
Baek-Rang. No, now Baek-Hyeon ran over to him in a hurry as soon as he saw the skeleton that had been given the perfect name of Jeok-Rang.
I don’t know about anyone else, but if it’s Baekhyun who was chosen by Gamigin, he can do something.
As I moved to avoid the noisy atmosphere, I soon found myself followed by Yu Seo-ah.
“Are you going to keep moving forward?”
“Of course. As you can see, the road is all cleared.”
Se-Woon looked around the area ahead.
Each area was guarded by monsters, but now, aside from the occasional tree or rock, there were no obstacles to be seen.
Thanks to the performance of the board, all the monsters were cleared out.
“Probably, we can reach our destination in one day.”
It’s time to get serious about preparing for the third chapter of the tutorial.
