Also here
[LV 47 Abyss Wolf]
There too
[LV 52 Abyss Snake]
Why are there only monsters?
Walking around while using [Dark Curtain] Made me realize how fragile I am.
The basic minimum level of all monsters is over 40. At least the shadow tarantula I hunted had an average LV of 30.
And here’s one thing you can know.
First of all, the monsters with ‘Abyss’ or ‘Abyss’ attached to their names were generally of high level.
Actually, all the Abyss monsters I saw were over LV 45.
The lowest [Abyss Wolf] Was LV 47, and the average was around LV 50.
‘Are my prey here besides hell worms…’
I became ashamed of myself in the past when I thought ‘Am I secretly strong?’. In reality, it was the bottom of the food chain that no one except hell worms could catch.
“What should I do…”
Currently all I can catch are hell worms
My level is 10, and the average level of hell worms is 15. However, if you use the [Dark Curtain] [Savage Attack] Combo, you will be able to catch it easily.
The problem is that hell worms are colonies, so it’s impossible to catch them one by one.
Due to the nature of the [Dark Curtain], Where the effect disappears when an attack is attempted, 1 vs. The majority is against me.
In the end, I had to find a low-level monster that I could catch, excluding the hell worms, but it was virtually impossible.
At least a shadow tarantula is possible?
‘Come to think of it, I’ve gotten stronger, right?’
Coming to think of it, the weak me who used to surprise and catch the Shadow Tarantula has already disappeared.
It was no exaggeration to say that the abilities acquired through the new job more than doubled my strength.
In other words, it might be easier to catch a shadow tarantula than last time if you succeed in ambush.
But don’t be careless.
I wanted to hunt monsters safely.
“Special point shop.”
[List of Special Unique Abilities]
-The power of Agni
-Thetis’ power
-The Power of Gaia
-The power of Zephyrus
I still haven’t used the special point shop I got to celebrate reaching level 10.
If you get an offensive ability similar to that of [The Devourer], You will be able to easily defeat the Shadow Tarantula.
“Hmm…..”
But there’s no way.
The selection disorder came right away.
It was very difficult to choose just one skill without thinking about it in a situation where it was not clear what kind of ability it was originally.
In the end, after thinking about it for about 5 minutes, I decided to trust my luck and choose one.
‘I’m a bit attracted to children.’
[Purchase the power of Zephyrus.]
[You have acquired the power of Zephyrus.]
I chose [The Power of Zephyrus], Which is one letter longer than the other abilities, really simply.
In a situation where you don’t know anything, it’s a convenient way to choose a slightly unusual option.
But today, maybe I was a bit lucky, the [Zephyros Power] I chose was the perfect winning ability.
[The power of Zephyrus: Absolute authority is exercised only for wind property magic.]
[You have acquired the highest wind attribute magic LV MAX.]
[Acquired Wind Property Ancient Magic LV MAX.]
[Acquired Wind Attribute Divinity Magic LV 1.]
[You have learned Wind Manipulation LV MAX.]
[I remember how to use wind attribute magic.]
‘What?’
Honestly, I tried to be satisfied with performance similar to [The Devourer], But the ability of [The Power of Zephyrus] Was much better than I expected.
‘Is it easy to master one attribute?’
Of course, the corner of his mouth didn’t go down because the possibility was so high.
Of course, there were very few wind attribute magics that could be used with my extremely small mana pot.
There was no magic that could be used, not even ancient magic, let alone divine magic, so I couldn’t actually use the true ability of [Zephyrus’ power].
At least the magic that can be used is wind attribute intermediate magic? Of course, I was satisfied with just that. Anyway, as I level up, the amount of mana will increase, and the magic I can use will increase.
‘..But there’s a bit of a difference…’
As I was praising [Zephyros’ power], I suddenly felt that the [Evil Eater] Was extremely disgusting.
Of course, thanks to [Evil Eater], I can live in this labyrinth, but aside from that, I actually felt like it was a bit less than [Zephiroth’s power].
Well, anyway, the important thing is that I finally have a useful means of attack.
“Wind.”
As I quietly muttered and chanted magic, the wind began to gather in my right hand.
After confirming that the wind was gathering to some extent, I chanted the magic again in that state.
“Wind Spear.”
Then, the wind gathered in his right hand transformed into a spear.
‘Wow, is this really good?’
The biggest feature of wind magic was its invisibility.
Simply put, it was invisible to the naked eye because it was made of air.
Is there any magic that suits me better than this, who specializes in surprise attacks?
-Kreur…..
“What?”
At that moment, a monster in the form of a large dog I had never seen before appeared.
[LV 37 Hell Hound]
It was a hellhound, a monster in the form of a large dog whose entire body was painted red.
-Kreureung?
The hellhound sniffed and started circling around me. It was like looking for someone.
Anyway, the [Dark Curtain] Didn’t even block the smell, so it seems that the location was discovered by the Hell Hound.
However, due to the [Curtain of darkness], My body was completely invisible and it was virtually impossible to find me only by smell.
Actually, Hell Hound smells strong, but he seemed a little taken aback when no one was seen.
‘I think it’s okay…?’
Finally, Hellhound’s level was 37, and it was a monster on a similar level to the Shadow Tarantula I dealt with before.
I’m sure it will be a very good test subject for testing [Zephyros’ power].
Of course, carelessness is prohibited.
The level difference between my opponent and mine was 27, a level difference so big that I wouldn’t even think of dealing with it.
So I decided to do my best from the first surprise attack.
“The Storm Spear.”
I started casting the intermediate wind magic storm spear.
Then, much more ferocious and strong wind than the lowest level magic, Wind Spear, gathered and formed a large spear.
But it’s a pity to finish with this, in fact, I decided to strengthen the storm spear by using [Abyss Mana LV 1] Obtained while changing jobs with Abyss Egg.
[The Abyss property is applied to magic.]
Thanks to the effect of [Abyssal Mana LV 1], The Storm Spear with additional Abyssal properties began to become more violent.
-Kleurreureung…?
Hellhound stopped momentarily when he felt the current of the wind suddenly change.
But that rather created an opening for the Hell Hound, and I took advantage of that gap and fired the spear of ferocious storms towards the Hell Hound.
-Shhhhh-!
[Savage Attack activates.]
With a tremendous banging sound, half of the Hellhound’s head was erased in an instant, and thick blood gushed out.
-Keuuuong!!
“As expected, it’s too much with one shot.”
Hell Hound’s head was half gone, but his legs were trembling and he was giving as much strength as possible to keep his torso from collapsing.
But I felt like I was going to collapse at any moment.
-Kwang…!
‘It’s slow.’
Hell Hound realized that I was the one who made him this way and rushed at me with all his might, but I wasn’t so weak that I couldn’t keep up with Hell Hound’s speed, which was already close to death.
Using [Abyss Mana Discharge LV 1], He used his strengthened body to easily avoid Hell Hound’s charge, and then prepared the next magic.
“The Spear of the Abyss.”
The next magic I prepared was Abyssal Magic, Abyssal Spear, and surprisingly, it consumed more mana than Storm Spear, a mid-level wind magic.
In fact, the mana consumption of the spear of the storm was about 400, and the mana consumption of the spear of the abyss was close to 500.
However, the Spear of Abyss was much larger and more powerful than the Spear of Storm.
After about 5 seconds, a huge black spear covered in pitch-black, more powerful than a storm spear, appeared above my head.
The Spear of Abyss exhaled an ominous energy and howled as if it wanted to tear apart the Hell Hound at any moment.
“Fire.”
-Giying-!
As soon as I fired the Spear of Abyss, the Spear of Abyss flew towards Hellhound with a different sound than when I fired Spear of Storm.
If it was the original Hell Hound, it would be possible to avoid this level of magic by moving its body, but the Hell Hound had half its head blown off, so its vision was not perfect.
Thanks to that, the Spear of Abyss was pierced right between the Hell Hound’s forehead, and the Hell Hound died instantly without even a moment to scream.
“Does this make the results ambiguous?”
The Storm Spear was a magic that exploded and inflicted damage on the target it hit, but the Abyssal Spear was a magic that pierced and inflicted damage like a real spear.
In other words, the mechanism itself is wrong.
If someone asks which of the two magic is more powerful, the answer will be Spear of the Abyss, but sometimes the Spear of Storm may be better.
[You have defeated a powerful monster! 400 Points will be paid.]
[You have reached LV 11.]
[You have reached LV 12.]
While listening to the sound of the system ringing like a victory message, I approached the fallen Hellhound as a corpse.
“Wow… What is this?”
The Spear of Abyss naturally disappeared over time, but the area around the Hell Hound’s wound was discolored to black, like oil.
It was a trace of Abyssal Magic.
When I was hit by Abyssal Magic by a Shadow Tarantula, the system clearly said that Abyssal attribute mana gnaws at the opponent’s mental strength.
Perhaps these scars, discolored to the black color of a hellhound, seemed to be proof that the Abyss attribute mana was properly gnawing away at her target’s mental strength.
“I wonder if I can eat…”
She originally intended to eat the hellhound, but her appetite dropped when she saw the black discolored wound.
‘Is this edible?’
Still, I had to eat it first, so I believed in the [Evil Eater] And bit off the hellhound’s body with great enthusiasm.
Evil-
[The Devourer is activated.]
The monster meat was tasteless today as well.
….It really doesn’t taste like anything.
****
“Kill the people of this world! This is not the world you used to know!”
A gymnasium outside the imperial castle, where Lee Seo-yoon, Lee Seo-joon, and Alex, three people from another world, were undergoing rigorous training.
-Kieek..!
“Hey!”
“Woman from another world! Swing properly!”
The Hwangseong knight in shining silver armor shouted at Lee Seo-yoon, who was unable to kill even a single goblin.
“The goblin kills even the children of her neighborhood! She does that, but if she can’t kill her, how can she help the princess!”
“Ugh…!”
Lee Seo-yoon thought.
Why should I be treated like this?
I clicked on the link of the suspicious site that Gaon’s best friend Lee Seo-joon sent me, and when I clicked on the link, I just pressed the button that appeared, and I was in a completely different world.
After that, he was captured by soldiers and brought to the imperial castle.
There he met Lee Seo-joon, who sent him a link to a suspicious site, and at first he was very angry.
However, he couldn’t say anything more when he saw Lee Seo-joon constantly apologizing with his head bowed as if he were a criminal.
“Take it down! Take it down!! It’s all old and can’t even move properly! If you shoot it down, you’ll just die!!”
“Huh!”
Pu-wook-
-Kirruru….
In the end, Lee Seo-yoon trembled while holding the dagger with both hands and lowered the dagger at the goblin.
Then the goblin let out a helpless scream and died instantly.
“Ha … Ha …. I … I … I was dead ….. Ueup!”
Lee Seo-yoon’s pupils trembled as she looked at the dead goblin’s corpse.
Then he collapsed on the spot and vomited.
“Wow!”
“If you vomit over killing a monster, you won’t be able to survive in this world!”
After Lee Seo-yoon was transferred to another world, every time he had a hard time, Park Ga-on’s figure shimmered for some reason.
When he was in Korea, he was an alumni of the same university and the first man he had a crush on.
He remembered the day he took class with him, and the lunch time he ate with him.
If I knew it would be like this… If I knew we would break up like this, I would have confessed.
Lee Seo-yoon regretted it.
The more I regret it, the more I miss Gaon. Even though I know it’s a futile idea…
“Tsk… Let’s stop here for today and rest.”
The knight kicked his tongue at the sight of Lee Seo-yoon, who vomited and trembled.
As soon as the knight disappeared, Lee Seo-joon, who was watching him, ran to Seo-yoon Lee and asked worriedly.
“Are you okay Seoyoon?”
“Ahhhhh…”
Lee Seo-yoon’s mind was already half broken.
For a woman in her 20s in Korea who was born into a wealthy family and received a lot of love from her parents, this world was too harsh.
Seeing that, Lee Seo-joon felt a great sense of guilt.
She wouldn’t be like this if she hadn’t been interested in the suspicious site she was…
Lee Seo-joon instantly thought of Park Ga-on, her best friend.
“Couldn’t it be…That guy is also in another world…?”
Lee Seo-joon: If she was transferred to this world because of Park Ga-do or me…. Will she be able to endure that guilt herself? I thought.
Like that, another day passed by Lee Seo-yoon and Lee Seo-joon in another world.
