Tadah!
Seun passed through the monsters at a fast pace.
Although it was completely against the direction in which the monsters were moving, none of the monsters were able to touch Seun, let alone collide with him.
That was because of the new technique Se-un had learned, Ni-chu-gong.
The steps really made me feel like I was a loach, allowing me to flexibly slip through the monsters.
Moreover, since he even utilized the ‘Kilker’s Stealth Technique’, most monsters wouldn’t even notice Seun’s presence passing between their legs.
Of course, among them, those with good senses were able to capture Seun’s movements.
“Keeek?”
It was impossible to figure out Se-un’s true identity.
Seun was currently wearing a cloak that was covered in blood and scales from hunting countless monsters, and it smelled like blood.
In this chaotic battlefield, it was rare to find a monster that could confirm such a status. Even if you did see it, you probably wouldn’t think of it as a ‘stupid crab that doesn’t know the way’ or something like that.
Meanwhile.
“What, what?”
A catfish-shaped monster with a long beard opened its eyes wide and twitched its gills as if it had noticed Seun’s identity.
I don’t know for sure, but it seemed like it had a more specialized sense of perception than other monsters.
He opened his mouth wide to reveal the identity of the person he had created.
Sigh.
No sound came out of the bastard’s mouth.
This is because Se-Woon, who had come closer without me noticing, stuck a knife into the guy’s throat.
dump.
His comrade fell to the ground, but no one paid any attention to him because the army was moving in such a disorderly manner.
Thanks to this, Seun was able to preserve his stamina and easily penetrate deep into the enemy formation.
‘Let’s check the location a little bit.’
Even if you say Seun, you don’t know the exact location where the boss monster appears.
Before his return, Seun was being used by Charles’ clan members and was barely able to fend off the monsters in the fifth chapter.
All we know now is that the boss monster appears at the edge of the cliff.
Taat!
Seun, who was walking among the monsters, jumped onto the highest rock that seemed to be there.
Some monsters looked at Seun strangely, as if to say, ‘Why is that furry bastard climbing up there?’, but no one found it suspicious.
As I climbed to the edge of the rock, I could clearly see a large army of monsters climbing up from the cliff.
‘It’s more spectacular than when seen from the castle walls.’
I thought I had defeated quite a few, but hundreds and thousands of monsters continued to crawl up from the cliff.
When I stand tall and look at it, it looks like a swarm of bugs and is very creepy.
I held back the bloody smell I could feel through the ‘Nol’s Nose’ and looked around the cliff.
Then, I was finally able to discover their boss monster.
“Koooooooo-!!”
The angry tyrant of the seas. Sea Drake, Darakan.
The guy was climbing up the cliff with his huge body.
Although it had the characteristic wings of a dragon species on its back, it seemed impossible to fly as it struggled to get its feet on the edge of a cliff and let out a roar.
That’s understandable, the guy was a ‘Drake’, a dragon species with a regressed ability to fly.
It was a sub-type monster that looked similar to a dragon, but could not match the dragon in terms of flight, magic, intelligence, etc.
Plus, the guy is ‘Sea Drake’.
The wings were developed as a kind of fin for swimming rather than for flight, and were of no use on land.
However, that doesn’t mean I can ignore him.
‘It’s so dirty.’
Even without flight, magic, and intelligence, the dragon’s unique physical strength remains intact.
Crucially, even though he couldn’t handle mana, he could use one of the dragon species’ unique abilities, ‘Breath’.
Those two things alone make it a threatening enough monster.
Kurur, thud!
“Koooooooo-!!”
The cliff collapsed under his weight, but he desperately struggled to climb up the cliff.
The monsters who heard his howl bowed their heads and made way for him. Otherwise, they realized that the tyrant would trample on them and advance forward.
‘Before the return, before we caught that guy, more than half of the castle had collapsed.’
The existence of ‘Sex’ in the fifth chapter was not for nothing.
It’s a type of raid monster that uses its castle to block attacks and everyone joins forces to attack them.
In the third chapter, they forced players to fight each other, and now they’re asking them to cooperate. It’s a ridiculous goal, but it’s something that had to be done to survive.
Seun planned to hunt that monster alone, before it reached the castle.
‘If I use Mammon’s treasure, something will work out.’
You can tell just by looking at it.
Until now, I couldn’t kill him just by taking out one of Mammon’s treasures and swinging it around.
It’s a shame, but I have no choice but to use up most of the items I currently have.
‘Still, that bastard is a monster worth that much.’
If you hunt a guy, the first thing you get is a public enemy.
Even if a lot of people worked together to defeat it, it would give each person a huge amount of public points, but what if you hunted it alone?
The already existing gap in public opinion will become overwhelmingly wide.
Second, the items you can get from him.
Rumor has it that the player who kills it will be rewarded with a trinket of immense value.
Not only that, all the materials you can get from him are of great value as they are dragon species.
In addition to that, there were more than enough reasons to hunt it, such as the powers you could gain through experience points or the power of gluttony.
‘The problem is those monsters… … .’
Even Seun couldn’t fight that many monsters along with the boss monster at the same time.
So I was looking around to find a way.
“Keeeek!”
“Kheuk!”
Hurrah!
Kwakwakwang!!
The other side of the cliff.
From afar, I could see various elements exploding along with the screams of monsters.
Sharp winds cut through the monster’s limbs, flames scorch its flesh, the ground splits and rain pours down like arrows.
It’s much more flashy and powerful than when Seun uses his magic spammily.
The word ‘natural disaster’ seemed to fit better than anything else.
Even without activating the ‘Eagle’s Eye’, Se-Woon was well aware of the true nature of the natural disaster occurring there.
‘Riel Refrain.’
It was her.
If it weren’t for Seun, who is known to be loved by nature and deals with spirits of the four major attributes, the player who would have originally ranked first in the tutorial’s public rankings.
She was advancing towards the boss monster with her four spirits leading the way.
‘Did Riel originally go out looking for the boss monster?’
no.
If Se-un’s memory is correct, she was also focusing on the goal of the Su-seongjeon and defending the castle.
A boss monster appears, and she cooperates with people to deliver the final blow, but she does not move to find the boss monster out of charity.
I don’t know what happened, but… … .
Shhh-
‘Since it’s come to this, I should use it well.’
If I use her, I think I’ll be able to face the boss monster with ease.
* * *
Riel Refrain.
She had long, sharp ears that resembled leaves, typical of elves.
Elf. A being loved by nature, the last seed of the World Tree that came from a world that had already been destroyed.
Now she was roaming the battlefield swarming with monsters with her four spirits.
“Bad kids!”
“You polluted the water.”
“Then we should burn it!”
“Can I ask?”
Her spirits were powerful.
Each one of them had powers comparable to those of a skilled wizard, and could control fire, wind, water, and earth.
Moreover, when the four spirits combined their powers, the synergy was beyond the basic common sense of magic.
Normally, the spirit master would have been the first to collapse from exhaustion, unable to handle the power the spirit used, but she did not collapse.
Rather, it gave the spirits greater power and supported them.
The reason why you can do that is this.
-Constellation, I look at you with pity, saying that ‘the fifth day’ is too much.
Constellation, fifth day.
It was thanks to the blessings received from Freya, the goddess of love and beauty.
Blessings of abundance.
Freya was the goddess of love and beauty, as well as the goddess of abundance.
The power of abundance bestowed by the goddess gave Riel the blessing of nearly infinite mana.
Of course, even if it is the power of God, there are limits to the area that the player can use it.
But for players at the tutorial level, Freya’s blessing was like a never-ending spring.
“There’s nothing I can do. In order to get back first place, I have to catch that boss monster.”
-Constellation, I’m worried about you, saying that the ‘Fifth Day’ doesn’t have to be so difficult.
“No. I have to go. For myself. For my clan. For the World Tree. And for the Goddess who chose me.”
-The constellation, ‘Fifth Day’, looks at you with a somewhat pitiful look.
After the fourth chapter of the tutorial started, she immediately checked her personal achievement ranking and was shocked.
Jeong Se-woon.
I don’t know who it was, but a player with that name had surpassed me and taken the top spot in the rankings.
And it’s not just a narrow difference, it’s a difference of nearly 300,000.
‘I can’t let first place be taken away like this.’
Her goal is to climb to the ‘Eternal Garden’ that exists on the tower and plant the seeds of the World Tree.
To do that, you have to become stronger than anyone else. Not yield to anyone, not let anyone take it away from you.
Only then can we plant the seeds of the World Tree and revive our clan.
-The constellation, ‘Fifth Day’, consoles you that you are already doing well enough.
“… … But, the goddess is also keeping an eye on that player.”
-The constellation, ‘Fifth Day’, smiles slightly, fondly at your jealousy.
Although Riel was advancing towards the boss monster step by step, her steps were gradually becoming slower.
No matter how much mana was constantly rising, there were too many enemies. No matter how many times I defeated them, the enemies continued to rise.
‘Is it too much for me to do alone…?’
She bit her lips hard.
In order to compete for the top ranking, you had no choice but to hunt boss monsters. However, there was a limit to what you could do alone.
I had finally gathered up my courage to escape from the castle and run all the way here, but I was so upset that I couldn’t go any further.
That moment.
Shh …
An all-too-familiar, all-too-longing energy brushed across Riel’s skin.
I thought it was an illusion, but her spirits also sensed the aura.
“It’s cool!”
“It’s warm!”
“who is this?”
“Who is it?”
As I followed the source of the energy, a human walked out between the monsters.
As she was called the last seed of the world tree, she was able to know the true nature of the energy emanating from the man’s body.
“How do humans use elven magic?”
Breath of Nature. A unique magic of the elves that restores life to the forest and energizes spirits.
That kind of magic is being used by ordinary humans.
But the man did not answer her question.
“Isn’t it more important to get through those guys now?”
Indeed, his words were right. The spirits, who had regained their strength thanks to the breath of nature, were pressuring the monsters even harder than before.
With that human’s strength, it didn’t seem impossible to reach the boss monster.
“For now, let’s join forces.”
“……great.”
Riel nodded.
For now, the priority is to join forces.
Thinking so, he breathed more mana into his spirits.
The identity of that man is… … .
-The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.
[ Breath of Nature ]
– The unique magic of the elves. It is the power to purify the forest and bring it to life, or to energize the spirits.
Not knowing that the person he was trying so hard to surpass was Se-Woon, the number one ranked public servant.
