Subscriber of the Gods Episode 10
Episode 10. I saw it in a book.
[LV 21]
It was a level.
Originally, you couldn’t see your opponent’s level in this game. In order to see their level, you had to have a hidden job or obtain a superhuman ability that was difficult to obtain.
‘The only things I could check were my level and stats.’
But now I’m starting to see the other person’s level with my eyes.
The wolf’s level was 21.
‘I’m sure you’ll get 4 likes.’
Ethan couldn’t help but laugh.
A skill that can even tell you the level of a weakness.
Being able to know your opponent’s level was a huge advantage.
Because it was possible to quickly judge how strong or weak something was.
In short, since you can intuitively check and judge, your chances of winning will increase.
“As expected from a dark forest monster, the level is high.”
“Kururur-!”
“Your Majesty! Please stay away from me as much as possible!”
“i get it.”
If you were talking about monsters that appear in a normal forest, their level would be in the single digits or at most level 10.
That’s why level 21 was a very high level.
Even though we just entered the Dark Forest, we are still at the very beginning.
It was clear that the further you went in, the higher level monsters would appear.
But once the weakness is visible, the chances of catching it increase.
‘Actually, I had no intention of dealing with monsters directly.’
Ethan knew how to conquer monsters.
Even though I didn’t know its exact weaknesses, I knew to some extent which weapons and attributes it was weak to.
‘But that was when I had good specs. This time, I was planning to use a method that would definitely allow me to escape.’
Running away is also an option when dealing with a monster you can’t defeat.
So this time I planned to run away and go to where Hecate’s granddaughter was.
But this changes things.
‘There were probably achievements for hunting monsters too? 100, 200, 300.’
I remember that as the number got higher, the achievements were achieved one by one.
“Become a like.”
Ethan chuckled and stabbed the wolf running towards him with his sword.
These wolves’ weak point was between their eyebrows. There was a bright red dot right there.
‘You have to hit it exactly. The dot is very small.’
But the entire space between the eyebrows wasn’t a weak point. It was right in the middle of the space between the eyebrows. No, a little above that.
A tiny red dot appeared. That dot was the forest wolf’s weak point.
‘Usually it’s difficult to accurately hit such a small spot.’
It wasn’t that difficult for Ethan now.
Because of his talent as a swordsman and his repeated training in the acupuncture techniques, his swordsmanship was quite sophisticated.
“Keep on!”
The sword was accurately inserted, causing the wolf to fall to its knees.
A decisive blow!
Shudlen, who had been swinging his sword at the wolf from behind, opened his eyes wide.
“No, Young Master! How… …!”
“Shudlen. The space between the eyebrows is the weak point. Aim for the space between the eyebrows.”
“yes!”
Shudlen nodded as he looked at Ethan, who was much more calm than he was, although he did not know how he knew, and stabbed the wolf between the eyes with his sword.
“Kagan!”
It wasn’t enough to kill him with a single hit like Ethan, but it was enough to inflict a fatal wound.
“This is how we go to the heart of the dark forest. Shudlen.”
“Yes, my lord!”
* * *
Kang-!
The screams of monsters spread throughout the dark forest.
“Ugh!”
Ethan, who had killed the wolf with one blow by stabbing it with his sword along with a shout, was breathing heavily.
“Oh, Master. How did you know? You are truly amazing.”
“He was secretly trying to protect a part of his face. I just observed it.”
Of course, it was thanks to skill.
Ethan originally knew that the wolf’s weak point was its right leg, where it carried the magic stone that was the source of its power.
The newly learned skill, Monsters’ Calamity, was extremely powerful, limited only to monsters.
The opponent’s weakness was obvious. All I had to do was stab him in the eye.
‘And in addition to that.’
Ethan was grinning.
If there’s one thing that takes up the biggest portion of Mepan, it’s definitely monsters.
The history of humans here can be called the history of wars with monsters, as monsters were abundant outside.
Because of this, monster subjugation was a very common occurrence, and there were many cases where entire cities were destroyed by powerful monsters.
That’s why there were so many instances of fighting monsters.
Gaining these skills in such a place will be of great help in my future work.
‘The biggest thing is that we can deal with any monster that comes out of this dark forest right now.’
“Schudlen.”
“yes.”
“Monsters’ corpses are worth money. You know that?”
“Yes, I know. But I don’t know how to groom it. It’s hard to do unless you’re a professional hunter.”
The monsters in the Dark Forest are all powerful. That means the byproducts they produce are also expensive.
Teeth, leather, claws, blood, and even magic stones.
There was nothing to throw away, but the problem was maintenance.
If you don’t know how to properly take care of them, you could almost say that anything except magic stones has no commercial value.
Ethan smiled to himself and approached the monster’s corpse.
“Watch carefully and follow along.”
“yes?”
“From now on, you will be grooming the monsters we catch. If you don’t know, just ask again.”
“What do you mean… … .”
As Shudlen spoke, Ethan raised his sword and cut the wolf’s corpse apart.
Phew-!
“Peeling the leather like this, being careful not to damage the leather when peeling it.”
Ethan’s touch was unstoppable.
The wolf’s corpse was instantly disintegrated and soon turned into materials that could be found in stores.
“The magic stone is at the feet.”
“Oh, my lord. What is this… … .”
Schudlen could only open his mouth in a daze.
How can Ethan, a nobleman, do such a professional job?
Even though I had never done it myself, I had watched it quite a bit, so I knew that Ethan was very skilled.
Ethan said it as if it was no big deal.
“I saw it in a book.”
“oh my god.”
* * *
“Krrrrr!”
The monsters of the dark forest are dangerous.
They attack regardless of the time, day or night.
Only the strong can be free from that time.
And Ethan wasn’t that strong. He knew a lot of information about monsters, but he didn’t have the strength to move according to that information.
“We have to go a little faster. If we spend the night here, we’re 100 percent dead.”
“Yes, my lord!”
Shudlen had already become a knight who faithfully followed Ethan’s orders.
Even though he clearly had little experience hunting these types of monsters, Ethan was naturally attacking them.
That’s why Schudlen had no choice but to completely trust Ethan’s words.
He hadn’t thought about it deeply yet.
“You used something you saw in a book like this. You are truly a genius!”
Schudlen was already at the level of a fanatic of Ethan.
It would have been hard to believe at first and I should have been suspicious, but Ethan was known as a swordsmanship genius.
In Schudlen’s eyes, Ethan was already beyond the realm of a normal person.
“This is why people should read books.”
Ethan continued to roll his eyes.
Even for the same monster, there were cases where their weaknesses were different.
Depending on the monster’s status, its weaknesses would change, or if the monster had been previously injured, that area would be marked as a weakness.
‘I think this guy hurt his foot.’
Ethan’s sword sliced through the wolf’s paw, and the wolf died instantly.
“Phew.”
‘It’s about time for other monsters to appear.’
The monsters of the Dark Forest do not coexist. There are territories set between monsters in the forest.
“hmm.”
Ethan frowned as he thought he had reached the next area.
‘This isn’t good.’
Most of the time there are monsters in each area, but there are exceptions.
It wasn’t entirely uncommon for multiple monsters to be present in one area.
‘If monsters are following one monster, there can be multiple monsters. And that can be very dangerous. They can compensate for each other’s weaknesses.’
Step by step.
Ethan could guess their identity by the sound of their footsteps.
Light footsteps and heavy footsteps.
“Fuck.”
Ethan clicked his tongue. Who would have thought there would be those in this dark forest?
“young master.”
“Schüdlen. When I give you the signal, pick me up and run straight ahead. Got it?”
“yes.”
“now!”
As soon as Ethan gave the signal, Shudlen immediately picked Ethan up. As he was running forward with Ethan on his back, a crude arrow was shot at the place where the two had just been.
“Goblin Rider!”
Schudlen cried out in horror.
Goblins were small monsters. They were smaller than humans and had weaker strength, so they were not originally very threatening monsters. However, they were clever and smart, so they had to be watched out for.
In particular, entities called Goblin Riders rode on things like boars to compensate for their slow speed.
The goblin riders who had just appeared before my eyes were riding wild boars with long, sharp, protruding tusks.
He had several weapons on his waist and a bow in his hand, making him look much stronger than the average goblin rider.
“It looks like those horned hogs have been tamed by goblins.”
Originally, this place would have been the territory of the Horn Hog.
[lv 28]
He ruled a level 28 horn hog, so it seemed safe to assume that goblins were stronger than that.
“Keep running!”
“They’re faster than you think!”
“We have to go faster!”
Ethan searched his pockets.
Then he sprinkled the blood of the wolf he had groomed.
“Keeeek-!”
Several goblin riders who smelled it broke off, following the blood.
But there were still many people chasing Ethan and Schudlen.
“Faster! If we get caught, we die! You and me!”
“Eww!”
Schudlen ran forward like crazy.
Ethan was grabbing Schudlen’s hair without realizing it.
“right!”
He grabbed the right side of her hair and turned Schudlen’s body to the right.
“left!”
This time I grabbed the left side of my hair.
“Go straight ahead, stand in front of that tree for a moment, and then crouch down!”
As Shudlen stood in front of the tree and crouched down, the arrow filled with magical power pierced through the tree and shattered it.
If he had been standing, the arrow would have hit him in the body.
“The goblins here can even shoot arrows. They’re coated with terrible poison.”
“Oh, what kind of poison is it?”
Shudlen, who had started running again, asked in an urgent voice.
“Shit poison.”
It was the dirtiest poison in the world.
“If I get hit, I’ll become a knight who died from shit poison. And I’ll become a knight who died from shit poison and couldn’t protect myself. A shit poison knight. It’s sad, but it can’t be helped.”
At Ethan’s words, Shudlen’s whole body was filled with strength. Although he was tired, he could never stop.
A knight who died from poison? That’s ridiculous.
I can’t afford to go through such a disgrace!
“D, I don’t mind dying while hunting a dragon, but I absolutely cannot die from shit poison!”
“Then run! Just run a little more!”
“Ewwh …
Shudlen ran forward with a sound that was either a scream or a shout.
