Episode 91. [Knights in Armor (2)]
The forest, which should have been beautiful with the morning sunlight, was becoming a mess due to fighting.
Kwasik!
Gyeonghoon broke the beautiful tree and was thrown backwards.
The surroundings had turned into a mess.
There were craters created by bombs and many trees were cut down.
“Tsk!”
Kyung-hoon got up from the bushes, spitting out blood.
Kyung-hoon’s appearance was no different from those around him. His face was covered in scars and his anti-blocking uniform was a mess.
“This is some kind of monster.”
-It is not registered in the encyclopedia.
“No matter how you look at it, it’s a really poor encyclopedia.”
Gyeonghoon looked straight ahead.
A giant that looked to be 3 meters tall was standing in front of him.
The giant was clad entirely in plate armor with engraved patterns.
The giant was wearing a helmet with a crow-shaped beak and a tail with thick scales.
Giant It wasn’t all that bad either.
The helmet was decorated and the armor was charred black. Looking at the blood flowing out from between the armor, it looked like it had been injured.
Kyung-hoon had seen a similar monster before.
“It looks like a crocodile monster.”
-Are you talking about the humanoid monster I saw before meeting me? The one that uses a sword like a human?
“It’s different in size and what it’s wearing, but it’s similar.”
While Gyeonghoon was talking to Eve, the giant took off his helmet and threw it away.
Bang.
As Gyeonghoon expected, there was a crocodile head under the helmet.
“That’s right. But why is this guy so strong?”
The crocodile monster I saw before was a bit of a trick, but I was able to catch it even when Kyung-hoon was only at grade E.
Moreover, he was now at grade B and was handling mana properly.
I had dealt with a medium-sized monster in the original world not too long ago, but it was such a struggle for a monster that was only 3m tall. .
-Seeing that it fights on equal footing with its master, it appears to be a knight-level monster.
If it is a knight, it refers to the lowest level in the level of named monsters leading to the knight captain and monarch.
“Is that also a game level? It suits me this time.”
The monster wearing plate armor with beautiful patterns and raising a sword looked more like a knight than most knights.
“No, rank is not the issue now.”
The monster was glaring at Gyeong-hoon and growling. There was life all around the crocodile monster.
Rumbling.
But Gyeong-hoon was more concerned about the monster’s armor than its life. Although
it was blackened, the armor was still intact except for the helmet.
“I. “The armor is the problem.”
It was an armor that blocked not only mana bullets but also bombs.
Fortunately, the mana bomb that hit the helmet directly made the helmet unusable. However, after that, it was not easy to match it to the armor. It was even possible to inflict wounds by inserting a sword into a gap in the armor. However, he was counterattacked just like before.
Gyeong-hoon, who was looking at the armor and thinking about how to attack, raised his head. He looked at the monster and his mouth twisted.
From the moment he woke up until now, the monster in front of him had not attacked and was only spewing out death.
Armor He was smarter than a human in both swordsmanship and swordsmanship. There was no way he was just gaining momentum for no reason.
“Are you just wasting time?”
Kyung-hoon took a step back.
Cry.
The monster came close.
It was as expected. The crocodile monster was holding him here.
Kyung-hoon looked up.
Mana was gathered in one place in the sky.
“Was that a signal?”
It was a magic signal that was seen as light among the crocodile monsters, but Kyung-hoon was only able to recognize it now.
– Sorry, I couldn’t confirm it because I couldn’t launch the drone.
Not long after the dimensional shift, I was suddenly ambushed. There was no way I would have time to launch the drone. There was none.
Kyung-hoon’s expression hardened.
“Finish it quickly and escape.”
It was a monster that could barely be defeated one-on-one. If two or more people fought against each other, there was not much chance of winning.
Kyung-hoon took out a mana bomb from his backpack.
The monster raised both hands and covered its face.
Whisper.
Kyung-hoon threw the mana bomb and immediately pulled out a pistol from his backpack. I took it out. Kyung
–
hoon ran towards the monster with a sword and a pistol in both hands.
The sound of the mana bomb exploding rang through the forest.
*
The knight arrived under the light fired by his compatriots shortly after hearing the explosion.
Unfortunately , He was a little late.
Ta-ta-ta-tang!
Blood was gushing out of his compatriot’s head.
A small human riding on his compatriot’s shoulder was putting a bullet into his compatriot’s ear. A
sword was also stuck in his compatriot’s mouth.
He tried to pull out the sword. However, the ensuing attack caused the compatriot to lose his life.
The compatriot collapsed to the ground.
Quaaaa!
The knight shouted at the sight.
Quaa!
Quaa!
Other compatriots who arrived at the same time also shouted along with him. I gave it to him.
The human was right.
A small creature half his size.
The former owner of this planet that made guns and all kinds of strange things. A
weak being that can no longer be seen.
Crumble.
The knight calmed his excitement.
Anger filled his heart. They burned it, but the master’s orders took precedence.
Kang.
He sent a signal to his compatriots.
They also succeeded in holding back their anger. They
raised their swords and moved.
Boom. Boom. Boom.
The master’s knights surrounded the humans. * “Are you
late
?”
Gyeonghoon gasped and looked around.
Wow.
Mana was flowing from the dead monster, but he had no time to get used to the sensation.
Monsters wearing the same armor as the monster he had just defeated were coming towards him.
They were in the thick of it. I managed to defeat the monster by taking advantage of the helmet coming off, but three more appeared.
-I was surrounded on three sides. If it is the same level as the monster I fought a while ago, the chance of winning is less than 10%. I have to escape.
“I know.”
Since dimensional travel was blocked, there was no other way but to run.
-If I had acquired attribute enhancement skills, there might have been a way…
Eve said that I could learn new attribute skills even after rising to B grade.
“No.” “How can I do that?”
But Kyung-hoon couldn’t even find a clue.
Ignoring Eve’s complaints, Kyung-hoon looked at the monsters.
Fortunately, the monsters were approaching slowly.
Kyung-hoon looked for an opportunity to throw himself away.
Chin. Chin. Chin.
At some point, the monster was approaching. They flinched and stopped walking.
It was at this time.
Kyung-hoon sent mana with his feet.
Chin.
But Kyung-hoon could not run.
At that moment, the forest became quiet.
No sound was heard. Not even the birds or bugs were silent.
At the same time . The grass and weeds began to shake.
It was a movement that started from far away.
It wasn’t just one place that was shaking. The entire bush surrounding the vacant lot was shaking. It
was as if a wave was rushing towards this place.
Grumbling.
The waves quickly covered the vacant lot. Arrived.
Jump.
Toads jumped out from between the bushes.
Kkuok! Kkuok! Kkuok!
The toads’ chorus echoed in the forest.
These were the toads that Kyung-hoon knew.
They were the toads he had seen in the Cheonggyecheon underground shopping mall and in the underground waterway.
” “Are they really the ones from Cheonggyecheon?”
I asked out loud without realizing it, but there was no answer.
The toads stopped, surrounding the clearing.
The toads stopped crying.
The forest became quiet again.
Thousands of toads surrounded the clearing, watching Gyeong-hoon.
“Are you imitating the audience?”
Kyung-hoon twisted his lips as he looked at the toads surrounding the vacant lot.
This vacant lot looked like a Colosseum.
The monsters and the gladiator toads were the audience.
But there was no one on his side among the audience. The audience would break into the ring and try to kill him if necessary. .
-Why don’t we attack together? We could end it much more easily.
Eve’s cold words pierced Kyung-hoon’s heart.
“Maybe thanks to that, we have a little chance.”
Gyeonghoon wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and raised his sword.
Gyeonghoon did not ask about the probability of victory, and Eve did not tell him. It
was a hopeless situation for the first time, but he had no intention of giving up.
Gyeonghoon took a deep breath. Fortunately, his physical condition was not good. I was
in a good mood and the weather was nice.
“Let’s go.”
Kyung-hoon sent Mana to his feet again.
puck.
My feet kicked the ground.
Kyung-hoon ran towards the armored monster.
The giant knight raised his sword.
The sword shone in the morning sunlight.
*
Time has passed.
The long fight is over.
The sun that had poked its head out was now hanging at the tip of the tree.
Kyung-hoon showed off his skills to the fullest.
He defeated one crocodile monster even in a three-on-one fight.
But there was no miracle.
When the monster fell, toads flocked to the clearing.
The blood of toads is the blood that burns flesh. It became difficult for Kyung-hoon to move his body.
In the end, Gyeong-hoon fell to the combined attack of toads and crocodile monsters.
The vacant lot was covered in black. They were toads.
Crocodile
knight waved his hand.
At the monster’s signal, the toads retreated from the clearing.
Shoot!
When the toads disappeared, the vacant lot revealed itself.
The corpses of the Crocodile Knights and Gyeong-hoon were lying in the vacant lot.
“Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.”
Kyung-hoon was not dead.
His backpack was in the corner and his body was full of wounds and burns, but he was still alive. -Master!
Master!
Eve, who was stuck in the bushes with a torn bulletproof vest, cried out to him. But Gyeong-hoon had a hard time even exhaling.
The crocodile knight approached the fallen Gyeong-hoon.
He raised his sword with burning eyes.
Another of his people was killed by an insignificant human. It was difficult to hold back his anger.
Kang.
But he couldn’t swing the sword. .
The absolute master’s command bound him.
Crumbling.
In the end, he lowered his sword.
Instead, he raised his foot. As long as he didn’t die, that would be enough.
The Crocodile Knight put his foot down.
Kwajik.
“Kwauk!”
The bones broke and Gyeong-hoon screamed. The crocodile knight did not stop.
Crunch.
Each awakened being had its own power. There was no need to take unnecessary risks.
The monsters stepped on Gyeong-hoon. Even the shield was useless. . As the mana was depleted, the shield disappeared. Every time he
stepped
on it, Kyung-hoon’s body flinched, but he could no longer hear a moan. It seemed like he had fainted.
The monsters tore off Kyung-hoon’s outer clothes and tied him up with the rope they had brought.
Monsters He didn’t carry Kyung-hoon. There was no reason to carry a human who killed his own people.
The monster tied the end of the rope that tied Kyung-hoon to its own waist and walked away.
Quality.
Kyung-hoon began to be dragged by the rope.
-Master….
Eve, who was watching the scene with her cell phone camera, could not help but moan at the sight of Kyung-hoon.
Kyung-hoon opened his eyes brightly at Eve’s words.
He twitched his mouth.
‘wait.’
With those words, Kyung-Hoon’s body disappeared into the bushes.
The bush stopped. The vacant lot became quiet.
ㅡBluetooth connection is disconnected.
The connection with Kyunghoon’s earphones was lost.
Eve was alone.
*
Time has passed.
The sun set and the stars rose.
The crocodile monsters came out of the forest and arrived at the plain where a big fight took place.
They took their seats next to the smashed helicopter.
Even though they were nocturnal, they needed to get some rest.
Fierce fighting in the sunlight and movement during the day were very difficult for them, a race of darkness.
I don’t need to sleep, but I was thinking of recovering my stamina here.
The human being dragged in was still alive. All of his bones were broken and his entire body was covered in blood, but he was unconscious and still breathing.
There was no way that a being who fought on equal footing with them would die at this level.
The knight closed his eyes. Humans could not escape. The surrounding area was guarded by livestock.
The two drivers sat next to the helicopter and began to recover their stamina.
It was at that moment that Kyung-hoon came to his senses.
‘Ugh!’
When he came to his senses, pain surged through his body, but he endured it while trembling.
My mana was still low and my whole body was so shattered that I couldn’t move.
I was barely able to survive because of my mana movement, but thanks to that, my mana was constantly being consumed.
But Kyung-hoon wasn’t interested in that.
Kyung-hoon desperately recalled the sensations in his body.
Newly acquired organs after awakening. Newly acquired characteristics.
Wiggle.
It was fortunate.
As time passed, I was able to use the characteristics.
He repeated the image in his mouth.
‘Create a dimensional corridor.’
Woe!
The characteristics were properly demonstrated.
A black hole appeared before his eyes.
“Keuuuuuuu!”
Kyung-hoon rolled his body towards the hole.
“Kuang?”
The monsters opened their eyes at Mana’s movement, but Kyung-hoon had already thrown himself into the hole.
I didn’t know when I would faint.
Kyung-hoon shouted desperately as he jumped into the hole.
‘Going back! ‘To the place I most want to go!’
Even if you faint, go to the right place.
Don’t get lost in the corridors.
He cried out desperately.
After Kyung-hoon entered, the color of the hole began to change.
The hole that was black turned silver.
The monsters also threw themselves toward the hole, but they only passed by.
Wow!
The angry monster roared as it ran across the dark field, and silver powder flew into the night sky.
*
As night fell, the forest became noisy.
The beasts that had fled during the daytime battle had returned.
Grumble, growl.
The bugs sang and the night
birds
chattered.
Crumble. Crumble.
Occasionally an unfamiliar sound would be heard and the forest would become quiet again, but soon it would return to normal.
An owl landed in the clearing. It was an ordinary owl that survived a monster.
It was a brave owl.
The little monsters couldn’t even approach the clearing because the corpses of the monsters were spraying such a huge scent.
However, the owl, which was not a monster, did not know the scent of a dead monster.
The owl began searching through the vacant lot that had been ruined by the battle.
I tilted my head next to the monster’s corpse and took a picture of the backpack with my beak.
The owl, searching the vacant lot, was soon able to find something he liked.
It was a square bar with sparkling lights. I thought it would be a good idea to take it to the nest and decorate it.
The owl grabbed the stick with its talons.
[Crrrrrrrrrrtuk]
At that moment, a monster sound was heard from the bar.
The owl, which had backed away in surprise, came towards the pole again.
[Just go! It’s a monster sound. Are you stupid! [I can’t even distinguish monster sounds!]
This time, a human female voice was heard, but unfortunately, the owl had never heard a human voice before.
The owl tapped the stick and then grabbed it again with its claws.
[Wait, can’t you come back in three days? The master told me to wait. It will take three days to go to the other dimension, so can’t you be patient? There is no way for the master to find me here.]
Eve yelled and tried to scream, but the owl didn’t care.
The owl flew up holding the cell phone.
Whick!
At that moment, a rock flew out of the darkness.
Puck!Kkeek!
The rock hit the owl exactly, and the owl dropped its cell phone on the floor.
chin.
The cell phone fell to the floor.
-Bluetooth is connected.
The mobile phone was reconnected to the owner’s earphones.
-master?
Kyung-hoon has returned.
