50. Episode 50

A large room that can easily accommodate dozens of people. Curiously, the walls there were full of monitors.

On the monitors covering the entire room except for the floor, numerous players’ battle scenes were relayed in real time.

“Damn, this tutorial seems particularly busy.”

And a man sitting among these numerous monitors, sipping black coffee.

He was the person in charge of the tutorial, tuning.

“Why is this a mess when all the promising players come in at once? Wouldn’t it be nice if two or three promising players come in for each tutorial and take the rankings on their own?”

The job of the tutorial director was simple.

To observe and record the progress of the tutorial.

In any case, the direction of progress was already set in the system, so there was almost no need for him to step forward and do something himself.

The problem is, the number of participants in the tutorial.

Even with observation and recording, the number of players participating in the tutorial is in the thousands or tens of thousands at a time.

Observe and record all of them.

Every day they protested to the upper management that they needed more workers, but the upper management was shaking their heads every day because of the lack of manpower.

So, tuning was bound to be annoying.

“But, after this tutorial, the number of players will drastically decrease.”

Chapter 3 of the tutorial.

It was an ordeal that definitely reduced the number of players to less than half.

Since then, the work has become much easier, so Tuning said, ‘Let’s hold on a little longer.’

In the meantime.

Piri-

One of the dozens of phones on Tuning’s desk rang loudly.

Because it was a phone call in the middle of a busy moment, Tuning’s expression was distorted.

“why?”

“manager! Did you see it?”

“What is this bastard talking about? Of course, all promising players are under surveillance. As expected, most of them are hunting players, so what’s the problem?”

“Other than that, there’s a hungry ogre!”

“A hungry ogre? Why?”

A hungry ogre.

It was a monster placed to prevent players from avoiding battles and extending the tutorial indefinitely.

The moment Tuning heard that name, he had to feel goosebumps running up his spine.

‘Come to think of it… … .’

Didn’t see.

Most of the prospects he personally watched, but among them, he never saw a hungry ogre.

Is this possible?

“that is… … .”

“How many times!”

“This is B7-75!”

Chijik!

Tuning hurriedly turned the monitor.

And there, the hungry monsters Tuning was looking for were reflected.

Not just one or two, but dozens of hungry ogres in the form of corpses.

“Crazy, what is this?”

“This is what players Jeong Se-woon and Kang Han-cheol did!”

“Wait, I don’t think I’ve heard that name before… … .”

Tuning looked back at his memory.

It’s Jeong Sewoon.

Apparently, quite a few constellations had requested information about a player with that name a while ago.

At the time, no matter how much I searched, I was a person who did not have the right information, so I passed it roughly.

That player was doing something absurd right now.

“Chief, at this rate, the tutorial period seems to be delayed too much… … .”

“Baby, is that a problem now?”

“yes? Then what… … .”

“Didn’t you read the manual? If more than 90% of the hungry ogres are gone even though there are many players left… … .”

Chijik!

Before Tuning could even finish talking, several monitors vibrated violently as if they were covered in noise.

Then finally.

“That guy appears… … .”

oh oh oh oh-!!

On the screen in front, a two-headed monster let out a roar.

* * *

“What is that… … .”

It’s a hidden condition, the head of a hungry ogre. Even as Se-Won, these were all things he had never heard of.

“What is this?”

“I don’t know either.”

“I didn’t expect to hear you say you don’t know.”

Thanks to this, for the first time, Kang Han-cheol was able to intuit Sewoon’s embarrassment.

In the meantime, the system quickly proceeded with the recall process.

oh oh oh oh-!!

A howl so loud that it hurt my eardrums reverberated through the sky.

At this moment, all the players fighting on the field stopped moving.

The pressure of the howling was just as powerful.

And finally, the ogre corpses piled up in front of Seun’s eyes exploded, and Krak Katlak, the leader of the ogres declared by the system, appeared.

“why… … Are you not bringing food!”

“hungry! hungry! hungry!”

The gigantic height, which seemed to reach 6m, was on par with the giants who were said to exist on the upper floors of the tower, and his whole body was full of wounds from the glory he had earned until he became the chieftain.

Unlike other ogres, he was holding well-made iron pottery in both hands, but the most notable thing was the two heads on his shoulders.

‘Twin-headed ogre.’

Among ogres, only a very small number are born through mutation.

It was known that not only did they have two heads, but their physical abilities and intelligence were twice as great as those of normal ogres.

The good news is that one side of the head, which is half-distorted, is repeating the same words as if it is not functioning properly.

Even so, the prowess exuded from his body was making even the air around him heavy.

It wasn’t just the guy who appeared.

“sorry… … do.”

“Worries… … I hurt you.”

Four ogres appeared around Krak Katlak.

I didn’t see much difference from other starving ogres, but intelligence seemed to be more than that.

It must be a monster that ranks as the chief’s bodyguard.

“Sewoon, what are you going to do?”

“Yeah sure… … .”

Sewoon shook his head.

This is a hidden piece that even Sewoon didn’t know about.

What Seun didn’t know meant that it was a hidden piece that no one found until the tower collapsed.

Originally, I only tried to hunt hungry ogres, get points, and go back.

“You have to knock it down.”

“i get it.”

A hidden peace appeared right in front of my eyes, but I was scared and had no intention of running away.

No, rather welcome.

If it’s a hidden piece that’s so rare that even Sewoon himself doesn’t know about it, the reward for it will be huge.

Even if he threw everything away and only used the power of gluttony on him, his strength would definitely increase tremendously.

However, the problem is that it is difficult to deal with both boss monsters and escort monsters even for Sewoon.

“I will take care of the little ones.”

“Are you okay?”

“On the contrary, I’m sorry I couldn’t help you catch that big guy.”

“I’m sorry. That’s enough.”

they’re little guys

Of course, it’s about 2m smaller than the head, but if it wasn’t for strong iron, it’s a term I would never have uttered.

The first time I saw a hungry ogre, Kang Kang-cheol was so energetic, but the moment I saw the leader, I must have felt the difference in strength.

Seeing him shaking his fist next to him, I could feel that he was trying to suppress his resentment.

“If you understand, come on, bring me some food!”

“Bring it! bring it! Bring it!”

“Instructions… … I will follow.”

Four ogres came this way.

Well, since there were only Sewoon and Kang Han-cheol moving around here, it was a natural procedure.

After retrieving the ‘Geriones’ cow’, which was no longer needed, the two of them slowly walked towards the ogres.

By the time such a bloody air current was swirling around.

Taat!

Sewoon leaped quickly and passed between the four ogres.

The agility value approaching 100 was enough to embarrass the ogres, so let’s stretch out our arms as if they wouldn’t miss it.

cooong!

Wooded Deuk!

“I will take care of you guys.”

“human… … .”

Kang Kang-cheol struck the ground, destroying the land, and stopped the ogres who tried to turn toward Seun.

As a result, Sewoon was able to go straight to the head of the ogre without hindrance.

“On the subject of food… … You run at a predator without knowing the subject!”

“food! food! food!”

Facing Sewoon who was running towards him, he raised the right axe.

Only the size, speed, and power were different, but the pattern was the same.

Seun skillfully jumped, dodged the ax, and climbed onto the forearm, which looked much thicker than a normal ogre.

Then, without hesitation, slash the molar dagger at the wrist tendons.

kang!

“sh*t.”

A completely different sound hit the back of my ear than I expected.

that’s bullsh*t

It sounded like hammering iron.

As if to prove it, only small abrasions remained where Sewoon struck down, and not even the leather was completely cut off.

“Small and fast prey, annoying!”

“it’s bothering! it’s bothering! it’s bothering!”

Originally, it was normal for the ogre to miss the weapon here and take advantage of the panicked gap to run toward the vital point, but since the attack didn’t work, Seun’s attack pattern was also broken.

He immediately retrieved his arm and jumped down to avoid the guy who was trying to swallow him.

Then, as if waiting, the ax on the other side stretched out.

Ugh!

Because it was still floating in the air, there was no way to escape.

Sewoon hurriedly rotated the circle and spread the shield in front of him.

but.

Jjaeng!

“Kuk!”

The wide shield that Sewoon is learning right now is not suitable for defending against such a heavy attack as it is a magic to block a wide range of attacks such as arrows in the first place.

No, honestly, even if I had a melee-only shield open, I wouldn’t have been able to block that axe.

If at least he hadn’t bent the blade by bending the shield at an angle, he would have been split in two by now.

“Stop bothering me and come into my mouth.”

“Come in! come in! Come in!”

The guy ran towards Sewoon.

Seeing him come running with his ax held short, he seems to have realized that he didn’t even need to wield a full swing.

– The power of ‘Lightning Chain’ is enhanced according to the tricks of the Black Tower.

Dismissed!

He used magic to buy time, even for a moment, but it was only enough to make his eyes blink once, let alone stiffen.

– The power of ‘Frozen Wave’ is enhanced according to the tricks of the Black Tower.

Damn!

So he changed his method and sent ice magic.

As his body cooled down and the floor froze, he showed signs of hesitation as well.

Kwajik!

He broke the ice on the floor with only his strength and moved forward.

A monster itself.

However, thanks to that, I was able to earn a very short amount of time.

Time to open Mamon’s treasure house and take out a new treasure.

– Opened the treasure house of greed.

[ Dark Flare ]

– A typical attack magic used by Black Tower wizards, it emits flames of darkness to encroach on opponents.

Quarreuk!

“Aagh!”

“It’s black! sick! hot!”

Black flames moved to his body.

No matter how tough and hard the leather is, it has no meaning in front of the flames of darkness.

I hurriedly rolled on the floor to put out the fire, but that was no use.

As Dark Flare is the magic of the Black Tower, it was closer to the dark attribute rather than the element of fire attribute.

As long as the user’s mana is supplied, it will not be turned off.

furthermore.

– The power of ‘Dark Flare’ is enhanced according to the tricks of the Black Tower.

Two of Seun’s circles were composed of Black Tower’s black mana circles.

So, the power of Dark Flare was stronger than any other power that Seun used.

if it’s a problem

“Kuh… … .”

It was the consumption of mana.

As strong as Black Tower’s magic is, it requires a huge amount of mana.

I only used it for a little over 10 seconds, but the mana in the circle was almost empty.

When the mana ran out, the fire that seemed to burn forever faded like a lie.

“food… … something like that! dare! Aagh!”

“sick! sick! It hurts so much! kill!”

“It’s a real monster.”

It was quite a blow to the soul. Seeing the ogre rise from its seat, it didn’t seem to have inflicted a fatal wound.

His body was covered with burn marks, but the muscles inside it were still wriggling.

This proves that both physical and magical attacks do not work.

hopeless situation.

even more because

“Okay, I can test it on you.”

It was time to try the attack method that I had been thinking about, which I hadn’t had a chance to use until now.
