ALL NOVEL chapter 15
[Episode 03] Sheep Hunt (4)
“Keeek-! Kieh-! Kiek-!”
The black beast, guided by the cries of the goblins, arrived in front of the emergency stairs in an apartment building.
The goblins were so excited that they didn’t even care about themselves and were just focused on climbing the stairs.
The furious beast roared at him.
“Kwaaa!”
The black beast roared at the goblins, and only then did the goblins react.
“Kiki!”
A goblin rushed at the unexpected visitor.
Enemy!
The black beast bit off the neck of one of the goblins that was rushing forward.
“Kick!”
The jaws were so powerful that a single goblin was instantly killed.
It was just the beginning.
Awesome!
Where the claws of the black beast scratched, the goblin’s skin and intestines poured out.
“Keeek!”
With every move of its teeth, every stroke of its sharp claws, a goblin’s life was lost.
“Kreureung!”
Frightened by the predator’s appearance, the goblins backed away.
However, there was no place to escape from the cramped emergency stairs full of goblins everywhere.
“Kick?”
“Kikki!”
How to bite a cat when even a mouse is cornered.
“Kyaaagh!”
“Kyaa-!”
As if the goblins had promised, they all rushed at the black beast.
“Keeck!”
Scratching with claws, biting with teeth, tearing at hair, climbing up the body.
The combined attack of dozens of goblins was intimidating enough, but the black beast took no damage.
This is because of the thick layer of fat that surrounds the whole body.
“Ah!”
Awesome!
No matter what the goblins did, they focused on killing even one more goblin.
However, if the power of the goblins was only this much, the goblins who settled in this apartment would have been annihilated by the black beast in the first place.
Most goblins couldn’t harm the black beast.
As for their fingernails or claws, they couldn’t pierce the thick fat layer of the black beast.
However, the goblins were very clever and knew how to use tools.
There were many dangerous items in the houses of the humans they plundered, and the goblins who possessed them were a great threat to the Black Beast.
Fu-wook!
A sharp knife cut deep into the black beast’s back.
“Aagh!”
The black beast got nervous and crashed into the wall.
cooong!
The goblin who let go of the sword died instantly with its head broken, but there were many more goblins to replace him.
Fu-wook!
This time, an awl was lodged in the thigh.
The black beast stomped its feet angrily, and the goblin with an awl stuck in its thigh collapsed in its chest and died instantly.
The black beast killed the goblins with one movement and one footstep, but the number of people running towards him only increased.
“Kieek-!”
Goblins continued to flow in, and the knives, awls, and scissors embedded in the black beast’s body were reused many times in the hands of other goblins.
Fu-wook! Knock! hooked!
He drove the knife deeper with a headbutt, grabbed the handle and put weight on it to open the wound, or pulled out the scissors and stabbed again.
The wound continued to increase, and it was difficult to withstand even with monstrous regenerative powers.
“Aagh!”
It was now the limit.
A heart full of hatred begged for more blood, but the instinct for survival was stronger.
“Kreuk!”
Now was the time to slow down.
The moment I tried to escape through the emergency stairs, promising the next step,
Pajijijijik-!
There was an unusual sound coming from upstairs.
“······ Kheung?”
and the next moment.
Squeak-
“!!!”
He felt something overwhelming force pass through him, and he couldn’t move.
And.
Perseok!
The heads of the goblins exploded all at once.
In an instant, an unknown fear swept through his body.
It was because I realized it instinctively.
That he was now putting his head in the jaws of a beast.
A fear so great that it could not be compared to having a knife or an awl pierce the body gripped my throat.
I felt like a worm caught in the grip of a giant.
then at some point.
[Citizenship has been granted.]
“ha-!”
The power that bound him was gone.
Pasasak-
At the same time, the appearance of the black beast disappeared as if it melted away, and what emerged from it was a middle-aged woman with a haggard face.
The tension was relieved, and she passed out soon after.
***
“…”
Sudden level up.
Increased household area.
Up to hundreds of goblins killed instantly.
Everything was sudden, but the highlight was this.
『Name: Eonju Oh (Lv. 33)
Reliability: 9
Awakening Ability: Wear Bear
EXP distribution rate: 0%
Settlement amount distribution rate: 0%
★Quest Grant Exit』
Wear Bears (Class A)
It transforms into a beast (bear) and maximizes all physical abilities and regenerative power.
For some reason, it was a citizen who was newly accepted right after the area of every corner of the house was expanded.
However, the specs are not unusual.
Up to level 33, A grade abilities.
It was like a pumpkin rolling in through a vine.
It wasn’t just this.
[Citizen Ha Dong-gun’s reliability has reached 50.]
[Loyalty is unlocked.]
[Citizen Hyerin Yoo’s reliability has reached 50.]
[Loyalty is unlocked.]
······
······
Ha Dong-gun and his party all achieved 50 reliability.
And one of them met the conditions for vassal registration by achieving loyalty and exceeding 30 at the same time as achieving reliability.
[Citizen Kang Deok-su’s loyalty has exceeded 30.]
[Citizen Deoksu Kang has met the conditions for vassal registration.]
Upon checking, Kang Deok-soo’s loyalty was 31, barely exceeding the minimum standard.
‘Registered as a vassal, Kang Deok-soo.’
Without any hesitation, he was immediately registered as a vassal.
Whoops!
『Name: Kang Deok-soo (Lv. 25) [+]
Title: [Third Servant]
Reliability: 52 Loyalty: 31
Awakening Ability: Iron Knight
★Quest given 』
Iron Knight (B Rank)
Summons steel armor and halberds that protect the whole body.
‘The vassal level seems to be proportional to the level of the awakened ability.’
Choi Hyung-jun, who has the C-grade ability, Gorilla’s strength, is level 20, Kang Deok-su, who has the B-grade ability, Iron Knight, is level 25, and finally, Moon Byeong-ho, who has the A-grade ability, Teleport, is level 30.
The level is determined by the grade of the ability awakened the moment you register as a vassal.
‘Is it completely random that the level of ability comes out?’
Comparing the information windows of the three people, the level of ability did not seem to have anything to do with reliability or loyalty.
If Moon Byeong-ho acquired A-grade abilities because of his high loyalty, Choi Hyung-jun, who was also more loyal, should have acquired B-grade abilities.
However, he awakened his C-grade ability, and Kang Deok-soo, whose loyalty was 31, barely met the minimum standard, and acquired B-grade ability.
‘It would be nice if I could know the conditions under which higher-level abilities appear.’
This was an important issue.
In order to make the most of the vassal registration, which had a limit of 10 people, it was better to accept as vassals those who awaken higher-level abilities.
‘Also, what will happen if I accept a person who has already awakened abilities as a vassal?’
Ha Dong-gun and a woman named Oh Eon-joo, whom he had just accepted as a citizen.
The two were people who had awakening abilities even before they were registered as vassals.
What would happen if such people were registered as vassals?
“Huh…”
I was lost in my thoughts when I heard the sound of wind blowing from behind me.
When I turned my head, Kang Deok-soo with a shocked expression asked with a blank face.
“What the hell…?”
The faces of the others were not very different.
A vortex of emotions rushed through each expression.
Astonishment, horror, and awe.
I had a rough idea of what I would look like in their eyes now.
‘It must look like a monster.’
What surprised them wasn’t that they turned the goblins into electric roasters.
“Just, something…”
that something great had happened.
They instinctively felt that the lives of hundreds of goblins filling the emergency stairs had evaporated in an instant.
That’s why you’re making such a terrified face.
said to them
“The operation is over. Now, please send all survivors back to their homes.”
Citizens could not gather together at the home of Choi Hyung-joon’s family forever.
‘With this level up, the emergency stairs, elevators, and corridors on each floor are all included in the home area.’
Thanks to that, I can now use the elevator at will.
‘Actually, this apartment is now safe.’
Strictly speaking, the entire apartment hadn’t become a corner yet, but it was like conquering all the passageways going upstairs by taking control of the stairs and elevators.
It meant that there was no need to worry about the invasion of monsters, unless it was a monster that broke through the window like Kelican.
“If you are short of water or food, you can bring this.”
After purchasing plenty of water and ramen and placing them in the hallway, he said to Hyungjun Choi.
“Please remove all the wires now.”
“Yes, yes!”
charlatak charrak
In the hallway, only the sound of Hyungjun Choi tidying up the wires rang out loudly.
‘The eyes of the absolute.’
I felt the new area gained by using the skill as a whole.
I was able to see Oh Eon-joo lying on the emergency stairs, passed out.
‘It’s the first floor.’
I went to the elevator with a nonchalant expression, turned on the power, and pressed the call button.
ugh ugh
The elevator worked normally, and we arrived on the 30th floor within no time.
♩♬―
[The 30th floor.]
[The door opens.]
I calmly got into the elevator and headed to the first floor where Oh Eon-joo was.
***
The moment the door of the elevator where Jaehyun Kim was riding closed.
“ha-.”
Everyone sighed and sat down as if they had promised.
Until he left, the enormous charisma that radiated from him weighed down the entire space.
It made it difficult to even breathe.
Ha Dong-gun slowly approached the emergency stairs.
Cheeky duck- Cheolgeuk-
The state of the emergency stairs revealed behind Choi Hyeong-joon’s hard work in arranging the wires contained the fierce moment as it was.
The water left in abundance, the scorched marks left on the floor and walls by the current flowing, and the emergency lights that were completely out.
Not a single goblin corpse was left, but the urgent moment was still vivid in my mind.
“…”
Hunting goblins with electricity was honestly amazing.
I saw the possibility, and I was sure that the number of goblins would be quickly reduced in that way.
‘The problem lies next.’
Right after the bodies of the electrocuted goblins disappeared, I couldn’t breathe for a moment.
It was a situation where something tremendous power came over him and he couldn’t move.
Meanwhile, Ha Dong-gun watched the end of the goblins on the emergency exit stairs.
‘My head exploded at the same time.’
Luckily, there were goblins who survived the electric attack. Their heads exploded all at once.
Of course, if that was the only thing, Ha Dong-gun wouldn’t have been so shocked.
I would have assumed that he had used some special psychic power.
By the way.
‘The important thing is that the emergency stairs became quiet right after it happened.’
The presence of so many goblins disappeared at once.
As if someone had erased them from the world.
‘why?’
I couldn’t get rid of the thought that the entire apartment was under the influence of Kim Jae-hyun from the beginning.
then.
‘Did you test us?’
Ha Dong-gun looked back at the situation once again.
And I noticed one anomaly.
‘Byeongho.’
Moon Byeong-ho, who strangely showed faith in Kim Jae-hyun. It was that his physical abilities had risen dramatically.
‘Even when luring the goblins to the 30th floor, thanks to Byeong-ho, I got through the crisis several times.’
Although he had known Byeong-ho Moon for a long time, he was not a child with a strong presence.
It was enough for one person, but it was never the ace of the team.
Even during the recent 10 days of fighting the goblins, his performance was on the side of being buried compared to others.
‘But people suddenly changed.’
It was from that moment.
Immediately after the operation begins, Moon Byeong-ho’s body is engulfed in bright light.
From then on, I started to be very active as if people had changed.
If it’s because he was chosen.
If it’s in return for the loyalty Moon Byeong-ho showed toward him.
‘… that’s scary.’
What is the end of this man’s ability?
Did he really have a superpower that suddenly awakened one day as if it were his own?
‘No, is Jaehyun-nim really a human like me?’
The unknown became fear, and fear soon became awe, which soon led to a conclusion.
‘…whether human or not, the conclusion is the same.’
To be saved from this damn world, he had to be chosen.
