Episode 7
7. Episode 7
– Predated the ‘wolf guarding the grave’.
– Absorbs nutrients to increase strength by 3, agility by 5, and stamina by 2.
Before returning to camp, he did not forget to use his power of prey to fill Beelzebub’s stomach.
“So you can absorb more abilities from boss monsters?”
The total ability value increased this time is 10.
This was more than three times the increase in ability value when first preying on a brown wolf, which was 3.
With this, not only are all abilities over 10, but agility is reaching 20.
Compared to the poor abilities I had initially checked, these were quite player-like abilities.
-Constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’ is satisfied, saying that if it’s meat, it should be at this level to have a chewy taste.
Beelzebub also seemed satisfied, so it was a very satisfying first journey.
‘Let’s check the items before we arrive.’
A sword pulled from a tomb and the hide obtained from hunting gray wolves.
I thought leather was just a material item, but surprisingly, it was an item that could be equipped right away.
[Sword of the Forgotten Hero]
Category: Longsword
Grade: D-
Description: A sword created to honor a long-lost hero, now forgotten. It has become worn and rusty from the passage of time.
Abilities: 1. Poison – Slows the healing of wounds inflicted by a sword.
2. Hero’s Traces – Attack power against monsters increases by 10%.
[ Gray Wolf Skin ]
Category: Cloak
Grade: D-
Description: The skin of a gray wolf that ruled over the brown wolves in the Wolf Forest. It still retains the majesty of its former life.
Ability: 1. Intimidation – As a leader, he gives charisma to his allies and fear to his enemies.
2. Blessing of the Wind – Movement speed increases by 5%.
no wonder.
I thought the blade was sharp compared to the rusty one, but I think it felt that way because of the attack power increase option.
Originally, old and rusty weapons tend to have weaker abilities, but this sword even had a positive ability called ‘poison’.
The same goes for the gray wolf skin.
The tough leather I felt when dealing with the guy was applied as is, so the defense is useful, and I also quite like the attached ability.
Above all.
“It was like this even before we properly managed both of them.”
Rust on the sword can be removed, and the dull blade can be sharpened with a whetstone. The gray wolf’s hide will also be more useful if tanned.
If that happens, both will rise to at least a D+ grade.
Considering that most of the items you can get at the beginning of the tutorial are around F grade, this was a huge gain right from the start.
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, looks down at your sword and gives it an indifferent look, saying that it doesn’t seem like much trash.
A crow with its head bowed.
Except for the first time he used the warehouse, he barely reacted, but as expected from a god of greed, he showed interest as soon as he saw the Seun item.
With my sword in hand and my cloak roughly draped over my shoulders, I was almost out of the forest when a new message occurred to me.
[Tutorial Chapter 1 – Adaptation]
-The second wave begins.
-Block the monster wave and prove your existence.
As expected, the wave started before Seun arrived.
I remembered my promise to Yusuh that I would return before the wave, but I didn’t pay much attention to it.
Rather, it is a good opportunity to check people’s reactions.
What Se-un wanted was to take people with a will. He had no intention of taking people who did nothing and were just a nuisance.
Swish.
Seun bowed down and spread out the last bush.
“Whoa!”
“Damn, after the wolf, now a wild boar!”
“Pigs are such strong animals? Gosh!”
“Ha, you can do it! Stop it quickly!”
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, is munching on meat, and his mouth is watering as he looks at the scene before his eyes.
I saw people engaged in a fierce battle with dozens of wild boars.
* * *
“Stop it! Stop it!”
“Kueeek!”
It was exactly the same as the first wave.
The moment the number indicated by the system message became 0, a monster appeared as if it had been waiting.
The only differences were that the enemy was a wild boar instead of a wolf, and that it appeared from the hillside instead of the forest.
Moreover, the enemy’s tactics were completely different from those of the first wave of wolves.
While the wolves formed a wide encirclement formation and gradually suffocated the people, the wild boars showed their blunt teeth and charged at the people as soon as they appeared.
Bam!
“Ugh!”
“Damn it, what power!”
How often do modern people have the opportunity to come face to face with a wild boar?
The power of the ‘beast’ they encountered in person, the wild boar, easily exceeded their expectations.
It was impossible to stop their charge in the first place, and even if you moved your body to dodge, they quickly changed direction in a way that did not befit their name as pigs.
‘If I hadn’t had this, I would have been helpless too!’
Meanwhile, cold sweat ran down Yu Seo-ah’s forehead as she held the thick stick she had found in the forest.
Discussing with people? At first, it seemed to be going well, but it ended up becoming a mess because of some people. That’s because of those who are hiding behind the scenes and putting the weak forward.
“Stop it! Don’t dodge, stop it!”
“What are you doing! You said you were going to work for our company! If you don’t want to get fired, fight properly!”
In particular, a middle-aged man wearing a suit and with half his head shaved.
“When I get back, I’ll be very grateful! What? Do you know who I am? I’m the CEO of a big corporation! Ruining someone’s life is nothing… … .”
He skillfully wielded the carrot and stick to dazzle the weak-willed.
The weak had no choice but to bow their heads, and those who were worried about when they might return to Earth also bowed their heads.
She wanted to run there and stop his tyranny right away, but Yoo Seo-ah didn’t have the luxury of doing so.
“Huh!”
The boar’s fangs grazed her thigh.
I thought I avoided it, but my pants got caught on my molars and tore, leaving a long gash inside.
I tried swinging the stick, but it was difficult to land a proper hit.
Helping others is ultimately something that can only be done if you have strength.
Why is that?
In this urgent situation, a man’s face came to mind.
A man who went into the forest, saying that discussions were unnecessary. In the end, the man did not appear even though the wave started, as if he had been bitten by a wolf in the forest.
The words he blurted out as he left lingered like an echo.
‘If things continue like this… … .’
As dark thoughts invaded her mind, she slapped her cheeks with both hands.
She shook her head, regaining her senses, and picked up the stick again and pointed it at the boar.
“Kueeek!”
Just then, the roar of another boar was heard from behind.
A moment of confusion when you don’t know where to aim your sword.
Crunch!
“……you are?”
Seun appeared on top of the corpse of a wild boar rolling on the ground with its neck cut off.
* * *
‘You fight better than I thought.’
This is my impression after watching people fighting wild boars.
Of course, I’m not talking about fighting power.
will.
Although a few people were still unable to escape the fear, quite a few people were doing their best to fend off the wild boars.
especially.
‘Kang Han-cheol, Yoo Seo-ah.’
The skills of these two were particularly noticeable.
Kang-cheol Kang was engaging in a power struggle with the wild boar using his large size and brawn, while Yu-seo Ah was using her quick movements and weapons to fight the wild boar.
The number of wild boars that fell to the two’s hands has already exceeded four.
They were indeed people with high potential, to be able to do that without even one proper piece of equipment.
‘Should I start now?’
Taat!
Se-un raised his body.
He ran behind Yu Seo-ah, who was frozen between two wild boars, either because she had lost her strength or because she had lost her concentration.
Crunch!
Hamelga’s sword technique.
I still don’t have enough strength to cut off the entire neck, but it was enough to cut off the nape of the neck where the bones weren’t protecting it.
The boar, whose vital point had been cut in an instant, rolled on the ground, unable to overcome inertia.
However, I couldn’t help but feel my wrists getting cold due to the reaction.
“……you are?”
Yusuh opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth, but the boars, having seen the death of their comrade, became even more excited and started stamping their feet.
“First, those guys.”
-The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.
[ High Oak’s Tendon ]
– The tendons of the High Orcs, a race that is naturally strong and courageous, are filled with the tenacious vitality unique to orcs.
Kwak!
The strength in the hand holding the sword was properly applied.
The leather surrounding the sword’s handle twisted and fit snugly in my hand.
Although you cannot increase your abilities themselves with the treasures in Mammon’s warehouse, it is possible to supplement your body in this way.
Of course, this can only be used if your body can handle it.
“Kueeek!”
He avoided the boar’s attacks with ease, making use of the unique movements of the Shiplo Damtoe, and stabbed his sword into its side.
I could clearly feel the guy’s thick muscles twitching desperately in my hand.
His muscles grip the sword tightly, as if he will not let go.
but.
Crunch!
“Kkuek!”
Was it because of the ‘High Orc’s Tendon’ that I just used? I was able to spin the sword with more strength than usual and rupture the muscles of the guy holding the sword.
‘No, it’s not that I’ve become stronger, it’s just that it’s easier to handle the strength.’
Human muscles are limited in the amount of power they can normally produce in order to prevent self-destruction.
Added to this is a wonderful component called High Oak’s tendon, which increases the power output that the muscles can produce.
As he pulled out his sword, blood gushed out from the hole in his side.
Seok- sseok!
Kkudangtang!
The wild boars that had been running wild as if it were their own world began to be quickly organized one by one.
Even the people who had been cowering under the pressure of the guys’ momentum began to gain momentum with Se-un’s appearance.
Then, while Se-Woon was concentrating on the battle, someone’s hand came up on his shoulder.
chuck!
“Okay, wait a minute!”
He swung his sword reflexively, but realized that his opponent was not a boar and stopped moving just before the sword reached his neck.
A middle-aged man with half his head shaved, taking out a damp handkerchief and wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.
My face naturally frowned.
“You really fight well! You’re on a whole other level than those useless guys over there!”
Sweat dripped down from the shoulder he was holding.
Even though Se-woon frowned even more, the man ignored him and continued talking.
“Hey, won’t you be my personal bodyguard? I’m the president of a big company called Toun! You’ve probably heard of my name, right?”
There was no way I could remember.
Although his body had just arrived at the tower, Se-Woon’s mind was that of a veteran who had rolled around on the tower.
Most of the memories of being on Earth have been forgotten. Even if that weren’t the case, how many people would remember the names of such companies one by one?
“If I go back, I will make sure to make a big difference! How much do you want?”
Despite repeated questions, Se-un’s answer was not heard.
Meanwhile, new wild boars continued to swarm the area. They had smelled the blood of their comrades on Seun’s sword.
Perhaps sensing danger, the man’s speech became faster.
“Oh, if you want, we’ll give you the position of director of our company! The treatment will be much better than that of most large corporations!”
Does he know?
It’s a big company, it’s a director, once you’re at the top, it means nothing.
The tower is a one-way street. Once you’ve entered the tutorial, it’s impossible to return to Earth.
Se-Woon, who had been listening to the man’s proposal, finally opened his mouth.
“That’s good.”
“Haha! I knew it! That’s a wise choice! If you just protect me properly, I’ll be able to… … for the rest of my life.”
“I just needed a suitable meat shield.”
“Yeah, the meat room… … What? What did you just say… … .”
Bam.
Se-un lightly pushed the man’s stomach with his foot.
Without even having to use any force, the man fell flat on his butt to the floor under his own weight.
“Because they’re big, I’m only taking care of four.”
“Wh, what!”
“Kueeeeek!”
As if they had understood Se-un’s words, four wild boars gathered around the man.
The man desperately tried to run away, but he couldn’t get up right away, perhaps because of his thick belly.
-The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, smiles as it figures out your disposition.
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’ whines, asking to leave such a tasteless thing behind and bring him some delicious meat.
The man screamed, but no one came to save him.
