48. Episode 48

A hungry ogre.

This was a special monster set up by the system so that the third chapter of the tutorial would not be lengthy.

It is said that the battle is in full swing now, but the players will gradually regain their sanity and start avoiding the battle.

‘Someone will take down the players instead.’

while thinking like this.

It’s a rumor, but it is said that at one time, more than 90% of the players negotiated unspokenly and did not fight.

That’s what solves it. A hungry ogre.

Appears on the field and attacks hiding players, forcibly reducing their numbers.

Naturally, this monster was so powerful that it would be difficult to deal with even one clan attacking it.

‘The reward is certain.’

The amount of experience and public value gained when defeating them was considerable.

Seun was trying to deal with such a monster alone.

“I want to go too! It’s too dangerous to go alone. If other players attack in groups like before… … .”

“Even if they come in groups, I can deal with them alone. If it is difficult, I am confident enough to run away.”

“still!”

“I said I passed on the big deal, but another clan might attack. Who would command the people without you?”

“… … Whoa. all right.”

Yoo Seo-ah nodded as if she couldn’t help it.

In fact, because Se-eun is able to act individually, there was a high probability that he would become a burden if he took someone else with him.

Rather than a clan, it was because of the existence of hungry ogres.

Because his power was that strong.

“I don’t mind?”

“hmm… … .”

After Yoo Seo-ah stepped down, Kang Kang-cheol appeared, blocking the sunlight with his unique gigantic size.

Normally, he didn’t ask why Sewoon did anything, but he wanted to follow Sewoon out for some reason today.

‘It’s a strong iron… … .’

Sewoon had to get into trouble.

Indeed, can I take Kang Kang-cheol to hunt the hungry ogre?

The trouble wasn’t that long, and the conclusion was.

“good.”

It was consent.

It was because strong iron did not seem to interfere with the hungry ogre’s hunt.

No, it was rather positive.

No matter how well you build it, it’s set up so that you can at least deal with the hungry ogre in a clan unit.

As strong iron disappeared, the defense of the base would decrease, but in Seun’s view, only those who remained at the base seemed to be able to block the attacks of other players.

Seo-ah Yoo showed regret, but as the commander of the clan, she cannot be left out.

“Pil Jung.”

“Yes, brother! Ride as much as you like!”

“okay.”

Thanks to the existence of the watchtower, I didn’t have to do reconnaissance for a while, so I borrowed Park Jung-pil’s Jeokrang.

However, Kang Han-cheol’s body was so huge that it was difficult to ride with him, so he had to bring a wild boar that was pulling the wagon.

Looking at Kang Han-cheol riding on a wild boar, I thought it would have been quite funny if he had been riding on top of a wolf.

“Then, I’ll go.”

“Have a safe trip.”

“It won’t take too long.”

Taat!

The red wolf kicked the ground vigorously.

After that, a skeleton with strong iron hurriedly followed.

Apparently, the boar skeleton was slower than the wolf skeleton, so he had no choice but to match his speed.

On top of that, not even a bare body, but even a strong iron of that size was burning.

Still, it was incomparably faster than normal people run, so I had no intention of complaining.

On the contrary, it gave me more time to enjoy the cool wind blowing and the scenery passing by quickly.

“A monster called the Hungry Ogre. Are you strong?”

“Not strong, very strong. It will probably be difficult for you to fight with only your strength.”

“I look forward to it.”

Speculation boiled in Kang Han-cheol’s eyes.

Come to think of it, since the last wave of the first tutorial, he hasn’t had a proper fight.

At best, it was the most plausible battle to deal with the monsters that appeared after listening to Pan’s performance.

His preference was to deal with strong monsters rather than small monsters. He seemed to know why he had been so reticent and dared to step out and follow Seun.

“Kill!”

“Sah, save me! Keugh!”

“Damn, I was liking seeing people! This is too much!”

As they ran to find the hungry ogre, battle cries and screams were heard from all directions.

If it was Yoo Seo-ah, he would have been restless while watching them, but Kang Kang-cheol just silently looks at them.

“By the way, where do you find that monster?”

“don’t worry. In the first place, there is not only one hungry ogre, and if you get close to it, you will know its location even if you don’t want to know.”

“What is that… … .”

The field where the third tutorial takes place is as wide as the number of players. So there was no way that only one monster could be summoned within it.

As Seun remembers, at least five.

Memories from before the return were full of confusion and fear, so it can’t be said to be accurate, so more than ten will be summoned.

By the time Kang Han-cheol tilted his head at Se-eun’s answer.

Quaang!!

“Kyaaagh!”

Along with a sharp scream, there was a roar like a mountain collapsing.

The sound was so loud that not only Sewoon, whose hearing was strengthened by the ‘Kobold’s pair of ears’, but also Kanghan Railroad turned his head toward the source, frowning.

“yes?”

“Right.”

Taat!

According to Seun’s will, Jeok Rang turned sharply.

The closer the distance got, the louder the screams were, and the vibrations felt as if the ground was shaking.

When I turned my head, Kang Kang-cheol was watching the source of the noise and was clenching his fists so hard that the skeleton’s ribs were in danger.

Are you nervous?

no.

Now that he was quite friendly with Kang Han-cheol, it was easy to recognize the feelings he was feeling right now.

‘Expectation.’

He is expecting the sound of an enemy stronger than himself.

It is an emotion that ignores human survival instincts, but it was also the driving force that made Kang Kang-cheol stronger.

Shortly thereafter, a hungry ogre appeared.

“Kooo!”

“Is that guy?”

“okay. Do you like it?”

“It’s worth dealing with.”

-The constellation ‘Old Man Riding a Crocodile’ caresses the skin of a crocodile, saying it is a good opportunity to prove his strength to his contractor.

A green monster over 4m tall.

Under the skin, excessive muscles were exposed, and huge blood vessels were wriggling above them.

He was holding a person in his hand with red bloodshot eyes, and judging from the red under his chin, he seemed to have already slaughtered many players.

The players around them were desperately running away with their backs turned, as if they had lost the courage to face the hungry ogre.

however.

“Are there two of them?”

“no. It seems the location overlapped by chance.”

There were two hungry ogres present at the destination.

This is why the players can’t help but run away.

“Good. Let’s face each other one by one.”

“i get it.”

Sewoon and Kang Han-cheol were torn in different directions.

If it was someone else, I wouldn’t have been able to do this, but if it was Kang Han-cheol, I wouldn’t have worried.

It was a decision that was possible because he repeated sparring almost every day and knew the power of strong iron better than anyone else.

‘Even if I can’t win, I won’t lose.’

Believing that, Sewoon ran towards the ogre who was wielding a thick wooden pole in both hands from slightly behind.

The power was so powerful that the sound of the wind roared in my ears every time I swung the wooden pole.

“ship… … Hungry!”

– The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ salivates at the sight of the attractive tendons, saying that he is the same.

As the distance got closer, the ogre immediately noticed Seun’s presence.

There was also a way to approach without being noticed through stealth, but I didn’t want to waste time because I had to watch Kang Han-cheol’s battle.

“soft… … human!”

-Constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’ is “chewy… … Ogre!” he retorted.

Whoo!

The ogre swung the wooden pole without hesitation.

At this, Sewoon naturally jumped up like a leaf blown away by the wind, and Jeokrang lowered his head and quickly got out of his seat.

Next, Sewoon arrived on top of the ogre’s wooden pole.

The guy panicked and tried to swing the wooden pole in his other hand, but Sewoon’s body was already rapidly moving forward.

A weapon made by Go Chang-seok. While holding the ‘molar dagger’ in reverse.

– Opened the treasure house of greed.

[Camille’s dagger technique]

– Camille’s dagger skills, the mercenary king that only five exist in the world. It is a swordsmanship that she, who usually uses twin swords, devised to deal with large monsters that are difficult to attack.

It’s not an ordinary dagger. A dagger technique designed to deal with large monsters, similar to the ogre that Seun is trying to deal with.

It is literally the most suitable skill for Sewoon at this moment.

Shuk-

There was a clean cutting sound that was completely different from swinging a longsword.

The wounds were not deep either.

A thin solid line formed around the ogre’s wrist, and he was laughing at Seun’s attack as if the pain wasn’t too great.

However, the results were by no means light.

cooong!

“How big? In your hands, power… … .”

The ogre loosened his grip and set down the wooden pole he was holding onto.

No, I didn’t put it down. Thanks to the severed tendons, the strength was released and the wooden beam was lost.

However, this was not the end of Seun’s attacks.

Rather, it was closer to the beginning.

Shut up, stand up!

Seun rode the ogre’s arm and ran quickly.

In the meantime, the molar dagger in his hand swung without a break, creating countless blood lines.

Whoa!

It was a wound that didn’t look very deep, but the dagger thoroughly aimed at the ogre’s tendons and blood vessels, and a fountain of green blood, unique to monsters, gushed out from the ogre’s arm.

Camille’s dagger technique.

The bigger the enemy, the more difficult it is to attack vital points, so it is an attack method that kills the opponent by targeting tendons or blood vessels in this way.

Because of this, she is said to have been called a ‘blood ghost’ in the mercenary world.

food.

Sewoon smiled briefly.

Skills and memories that could take someone decades of practice to learn can be acquired with just one use of a treasure.

It was a truly fraudulent force that easily crushed common sense.

Papababat!

The ogre desperately waved his arms, but the more he tried, the more brutally the wind of blood blew away instead of dropping Seun.

In an instant, one arm was crippled.

The moment Sewoon arrived at the guy’s neck.

Awesome!

Wow!

Both carotid arteries in the ogre’s neck were severed, and fountains of blood rose high into the sky.

No matter how strong an ogre is, it cannot survive unless it is a troll.

The guy desperately raised his arm to cover the wound, but the other arm was already crippled.

The two carotid arteries could not be blocked with one hand.

The moment the blood soaring high into the sky stops gliding and pours down as a shower.

cooong!

The starving ogre’s pupil lost its light and collapsed on the spot.

– Defeated the quest monster, ‘Hungry Ogre’.

– The level has risen.

-Personal merit increases by 10,000 points.

– Defeat quest monsters alone to increase personal achievement by an additional 5,000 points.

– Obtained ‘Ogre Tendon’.

A total of 15,000 achievement points, including the experience points that leveled up at once and the additional achievement points.

A smile appeared on Seun’s face.

-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ waits for food with its mouth open.

Sewoon, who had been using the power of gluttony at Beelzebub’s urging, turned his head.

‘Are you doing well?’

Towards Kang Han-cheol, who was hunting a starving ogre alone.
