00251 Additional Income ———————————————— ————————=
Hehehe… . Hehehe… .
A subtle vibration shakes the earth. The sounds of many footsteps were mixed here and there, but if you analyze them carefully, the sounds maintained a certain cycle. I gently closed my eyes and placed my palms on the grass-colored ground. Then, I could feel that the presence at the end was rapidly shrinking towards the center of the circular sensor.
‘The sound of shaking the ground is strong. It has four legs. ‘I’m very excited.’
A lot of information provided by magical power perception flows into my head one after another. And when the presence was more than halfway there, I finally took my hands off the floor and stood up.
“High user performance. “Do you know of a four-legged monster that appears in the Plains of Wailing?”
“yes? I don’t remember all that stuff. But now, I understand that almost no one appears except for the wailing girl… . Why all of a sudden?”
“We have detected the appearance of a monster on the northeastern front. “It looks like Rhunoceros, and there are about eight in number.”
“Runoceros? Why is that monster in the Plains of Wailing… . They are clearly native to the area next to the plains… .”
As I was talking with Go Yeon-ju, the surroundings suddenly became quiet. But the silence lasted only a moment. Anhyeon was the first to get up on her feet, and then all of her clan members quickly stood up.
Lee Yu-jeong quickly walked up to Ansol’s side, took out a Skurepp and a katana, and spoke.
“brother. “What kind of monster is Runoceros?”
“huh? “Didn’t you ever date Monica when you were there?”
“yes.”
“… well. To put it simply, it would be okay to say rhino.”
I gave the analogy as accurately as possible, but Lee Yu-jeong tilted her head as if she couldn’t imagine it. Rather than giving any more detailed explanations, I slowly raised my hand and pointed in a diagonal direction.
“Raise your eyesight and look in the direction I pointed. It’s better to see it once than to hear it explained a hundred times. Ah, but everyone needs to prepare for battle, right?”
The moment my instructions were given, the clan members quickly formed their formation.
When a battle occurs during an expedition, the Mercenary’s basic tactic is to unconditionally adopt a square formation. I walked towards Anhyeon, who was at the front, holding the jet-black spear. And instead of stopping at the front and standing with Ahn Hyeon, he passed by and moved to the center. Anhyun took a deep breath and turned his head with a surprised face.
I didn’t say anything and stood to the right of Ansol and Baek Hangyeol. Then, Go Yeon-ju’s threatening voice came from behind.
“oh. “Wasn’t I the keeper?”
“My left side was empty. Ko Yeon-ju can cover that part.”
“Hmm. “Then what about ahead?”
“The main tank is Ahn Hyun.”
The moment I said those words, the looks in the eyes of the clan members, especially the kids, changed significantly. The moment the main tank was confirmed to be Ahn Hyun, everyone seemed to realize the reason why I stepped down from the lead.
I paused for a moment, then opened my mouth in a quiet voice.
“Runoceros has entered within 250 meters of the front. We are approaching in a direction of 53 degrees northeast. “The directions are not completely aligned, but if they come near us, they will 100% rush towards us.”
Doo doo doo doo. Doo doo doo doo.
At 250 meters, it was a distance that you could easily see if you used your eyesight. As soon as I finished speaking, I felt the vibrations that had been shaking the ground from earlier gradually increasing in intensity. As seconds passed, the sounds of each clan member swallowing their saliva could be heard.
A thick cloud of dust was rising in the direction I pointed. Eventually, the dust grew bigger and bigger as the distance shortened, and soon we could see Rhunoceros with magnificent physiques jumping out through the dust.
Doo doo doo doo! Doo doo doo doo!
“Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
“Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
As expected, as they approached the vicinity, the Rynoceros seemed to have spotted us, making harsh cries and running towards us at a slight angle.
The body is about 3 meters long and weighs about 1.5 tons. The skin covered in dead skin cells, which looked hard at first glance, was impressive. And the yellow horn that rises above the skin and above the snout shakes menacingly. Those with a shoulder height similar to Ansol’s were charging at us, pounding the ground mercilessly on all fours.
‘It’s a little strange, isn’t it?’
As I studied them closely, I was able to find a few strange things.
First, the eyeballs had turned unusually red. Of course, there are cases where the monster’s eye color changes when it gets excited, but this was to the point where it could be seen as going beyond that. That wasn’t all. Sweat was pouring down from his entire body, making it look as if he had been running non-stop day and night.
While I was thinking deeply, their screams once again pierced my ears, and I suddenly came out of my thoughts. There were more than one strange thing that happened this morning. The questions filling my head couldn’t go away, but I would have time to think once I solved the problem at hand.
Just in case, I pulled out the Sun and Moon God Sword from my waist. But the sword has not been drawn yet. I looked at Kim Han-byeol, who was quietly fidgeting with her jewelry, and then scolded her in a sharp voice.
“Hanbyeol Kim. What are you doing?”
“yes?”
“Are you planning on taking that rushing power as is? “The battle has already begun.”
“ah. yes ───. ───. ───.”
‘Then let’s take a look… .’
Hanbyeol Kim immediately began chanting the spell. Not only Kim Han-byeol but also the children seemed to adjust their postures at my disobedient command. I tapped the sword with my fingernail and opened my mouth once more.
“Remember when you first caught a jet-black scorpion in the pitch-black forest.”
Thump thump thump! Thump thump thump!
“For your information, it may be a group battle, but in individual terms, the Jet Black Scorpion is stronger than Runoceros.”
“───. ───. ───. Radiant. Hugging dawn.”
As soon as I finished speaking, Kim Han-byeol’s order followed immediately. Her left hand rose into the air, and the crystal that had been placed on it floated up to her.
sudden!
The thumb-sized gem floated into the air and radiated brilliant light just as the spell had ordered. The light was so bright that it almost dispelled the gloom of dawn, and Kim Han-byeol pulled his right arm in a movement that seemed to be pulling a string. And with his angry voice, he unleashed his magic.
“Driving hit!”
Chop clap!
It was a single wave with a bluish color. As soon as she opened her hand, her jewel shattered and waves of light enveloped the entire area and hit Runo Keros. Eventually, the color that washed in like a wave covered their whole bodies, causing an explosion.
“““Guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”””
The light was so strong that Ahn Hyun, who was in the lead, turned his gaze away. Hanbyeol’s magic just now wasn’t the type of magic that meticulously mixed magic and aimed for chain explosions like Hayeon’s. Although it was only a one-time spell, the power of the jewel wizard that was soon revealed caused the clan members to panic for a moment.
Of the Rhunoceros that were running with great momentum, the three in the lead were rolling on the ground without exception. The hard dead skin was torn and bleeding everywhere. One of the fallen creatures crawled on the ground to somehow get up, but its body, which was slightly lifted, limped and fell back to the ground.
The remaining five had also stopped charging. It appears to have been forcibly thrown in the aftermath of the explosion, as it was thrown in all directions. However, as soon as I saw them straighten their legs, it seemed like they were at the back and suffered less damage than those in the lead.
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! “Cow!”
The Rynoceros woke up and immediately started running again. With an explosion of this magnitude, it would be normal to be shocked and stagger from mental aftereffects, but he showed no concern at all. It looked like a crazy warrior running towards us to kill us somehow.
I deliberately didn’t say anything. First of all, Kim Han-byeol could be seen as having done his part, as he killed their charging power and reduced the condition of three of them to the point where they were completely incapacitated. Then, now it was the turn of the melee series. In future expeditions, the plan was to issue orders during battle to a minimum. So, I was planning to check how much I had grown through this battle.
This was the moment when the five animals running through the explosion finally approached the close range of Bangjin.
“Protect!”
Ansol’s cute voice resonated in the air, as if he had memorized the order in advance. And when she stretched her wand forward, she could see a round, transparent membrane forming in front of Anhyeon. The three Rhunoceros clashed their horns fiercely, but the protective shield did not budge. As if he had been waiting, Anhyun hurled his spear at the guy in front of him.
“Spear shooting!”
‘oh. Spear shooting?’
Cha chachang! With a sound, the jet-black spear seemed to split into several pieces, and each long spear was seen ruthlessly digging into the guys’ entire bodies. It seemed like it was probably one of the abilities of a Qigong lancer, but its level of achievement was still low, so it seemed like it couldn’t bring out its full power.
A mournful scream rang out, but only three animals flocked to Anhyeon. The two Rhunoceros on the left and right on the outskirts dug into each side and then attacked, aiming for the center.
“Still.”
Go Yeon-ju tried to move right away, but I gently pressed her stomach with the sun and moon sword. Go Yeon-joo looked at me with a blank look on her face, then glanced at the guy running to her right. Without taking my eyes off Yujeong, I slightly pulled away from her and at the same time stuck out her right foot.
Soon, I felt a sharp horn grazing my abdomen. And the moment I felt that something heavy was caught on the instep of my outstretched foot, I immediately returned the force coming from me and lifted myself up with all my might.
puck! Hung.
I heard the sound of something flying into the air, and I saw a dark shadow moving significantly upward. Still keeping my gaze on him, I slowly grasped the handle of the Sun-Moon God Sword.
Unusually for Yujeong, she had a very focused face. The squall and katana that Yujeong was holding in both hands were showing off their sharpness with a bluish glow of her pure magical power.
Soon, the gap between the oil well and Runoceros shortened to the point where Rich could touch it. As she looked at the single Lunoceros running towards her, she immediately turned her body around sharply. She then put her foot in front of her and drove the dagger in both her hands into her side with all her might. It didn’t end there. Soon, as she slightly jumped onto the ground holding her dagger, two of her black shadows stretched out from underneath her and grabbed both of her Yujeong’s feet.
“This is what she and I practiced. So, if you say anything, I hate you.”
Go Yeon-ju pouted her lips slightly, grumbled, and pointed slightly at the shadow.
“Koooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
The lifted Yu-jeong’s waist seemed to bend in a semicircle, and then he went up along Runoceros’ back in the form of a headstand, and then began to come back down on the other side. Even though the bastard cried out in pain and twisted his body, Yoo-jeong held the dagger tightly and viciously raked it down.
It took only 5 seconds for Runokeros to fall. Although Go Yeon-ju’s role was big, it felt like I was watching a stunt. Lee Yu-jeong landed in a crouching position on the ground like a monkey and, without stopping, immediately launched her body towards An Hyun’s side.
After nodding once or twice, I took out the sun and moon sword I had prepared and extended it to the right. This is because the shadow that had escaped was getting closer and closer. Of course, I didn’t forget to raise the blade of the sword upward.
“───. ───. ───. Shackles!”
The first protective shield was cracking little by little. However, An Sol and Kim Han-byul continued to provide appropriate support fire, and before they knew it, one of them had been taken down, and An Hyun was swinging his spear excitedly to deal with two of them.
Tsk tsk tsk tsk!
Soon, the feeling of cutting flesh that had been coming up my right arm accompanied by a terrible sound disappeared, and I slowly lowered my gaze. There, a Rhunoceros, neatly cut in half, was lying on the ground.
When I looked forward again, the yellow lightning zigzagged and struck Runoceros squarely in the eye. Not missing the opportunity when the bastard twisted his neck wide, An Hyun wasted no time thrusting his spear into his throat. Finally, with a big swing of the spear he had thrust in, Luno Keros ripped his body apart.
“Ohhohoho! Ahahaha!”
And next to it. I was able to see Yu-jeong happily hacking away at the last one in bondage.
—————————= Review of the work ——————– ——-=
hello. This is Ro Yujin.
Okay, so that’s the end of the side income section. The subheading of the next field is Plateau of Delusion. Some of you may be wondering why the subheading is “additional income,” so please wait a moment. I plan to take care of this in turns. 🙂 Originally, I wanted to write that it was a sign of side income, but something didn’t seem to make sense. (Those of you who are quick-witted may already know this…) Ah. The exam starts tomorrow. We will work hard this week!
P.S. Dear readers. If you keep teasing me, I’ll be in trouble. If you keep teasing me like this, I also have an idea. yes. I will make it crooked. It is also called Crooked Eugene. ( –)
