< Barrier zone (1) >
Sang-woo and his party passed through the portal.
Inside the portal was a clear jungle.
Dense trees, bushes, and even the bright sunlight.
There, moist air wafted through the jungle.
Sang-woo admired the sight.
“This looks like an Amazon?”
“Sang-woo, have you ever been to the Amazon?”
“Ah, that’s not it. I just thought it was similar to the Amazon I saw on TV…”
“Sang-woo is right. It is said to be very similar to Amazon. Because of this, various animals and insects are boiling. No matter how strong a hunter is, getting bitten by a poisonous insect is dangerous.”
She knocked on her backpack.
“That’s why I’ve brought enough antidotes for each type.”
“It’s good. Then we go straight to the bugbear. Where is the bugbear?”
“wait a minute.”
Sonmi opened the map.
“This is our location. You can’t see the road, but go straight in this direction and turn left in the area where the mangroves appear.”
While looking at the map at that time, Sang-woo found a strange place.
“Uh, but why is this place marked with an X? Is there a place you can’t go?”
“Ah, there’s something like a barrier here.”
“A barrier?”
“yes. Approaching here somehow slows down all actions.”
It was kind of like the Catacombs.
Wasn’t there a contaminated area even then?
‘Could it be… the Seven Deadly Sins here?’
Sang-woo felt something.
It felt like there would be seven deadly sins.
But it didn’t tease.
‘If there is a symbol of the Seven Deadly Sins, I have to get it.’
How strong he became after gaining Gluttony.
As soon as I got the symbol, my stats jumped and I was able to use the power of gluttony.
He wanted to acquire the power of the other Seven Deadly Sins.
“Guide, I’m curious, but why don’t we go to this barrier area?”
“To the barrier area? Well, it’s dangerous…”
Sonmi hesitated.
Because her destination was not that way.
“If it’s a bit dangerous, I’ll step back and go back. And there are alter egos and Mr. Raven, so you don’t have to worry.”
“Um… good. Then I will stop by the bugbear habitat and guide you there.”
“all right.”
First of all, since he was a guide, he couldn’t just insist on it, so Sonmi took a step back.
The hologram floating on her smart goggles was busy sending messages.
-[S]: The decoy is about to leave the destination. The plan has gone awry, so check it out.
-[K]: Where?
-[S]: It is a barrier area.
-[K]: Hmm… Show moderately bitter taste and guide the direction to the destination while pretending to get out of the barrier area.
-[S]: Got it. ‘No, judging from the momentum of those people, I think they’ll just break through without a hitch.’
Sonmi tried to sigh, but since it was an order from her superiors, she had no choice but to follow it.
And Sonmi’s prediction became a reality.
Aaa-
Ah-like black fluid snake poison Anaconda hit the party.
But,
ah-aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak-
Sang-woo’s vacuum attack slashed the anaconda’s torso mercilessly.
The body of an anaconda splashing.
It was made of liquid poison, but it was pushed aside by the wind pressure of the sword swung again.
After that, the situation was similar.
A swarm of moths spraying poison powder, a swarm of bees with extreme poison that can cause death just by brushing them, a giant mantis with a body like steel, a deer with horns like blades, and even moving trees were cut down with a single knife.
Even if you want to be a little strong, if the alter ego releases Daguri (?), it is immediately dealt with.
In particular, catching bugs was unexpectedly salty.
After sweeping the bugs with a whirlwind or whirlwind slash
[Right has risen by 0.001.]
[Attitude has risen by 0.001.] [
Magic power has risen by 0.001.]
[Magic power has risen by 0.001.]
[Poison resistance has risen by 0.001. ]
[Poison resistance has risen by 0.001.]
…
Due to the effect of monster absorption, his stats went up in an instant.
“Wow, are you playing here?”
Sang-woo, who raised his ability by almost 1 in a short time, was impressed.
‘Should I take a 1000 skill point here and go?’
Because that’s how I felt.
But that was only for a moment.
As they wandered around using their overflowing mana, they started not approaching well, perhaps because the poisonous insects recognized Sang-woo and his party as their natural enemies.
Because of this, the rate of increase in stats quickly slowed down.
‘Um, should I go hunting for this?’
But like the topography, I had no idea how to hunt for sheep.
‘I think I can start a fire.’
I thought of setting fire to the jungle with my fire skill and burning it all up.
However, it was doubtful whether the monsters killed by the fire in the bush would be recognized as their experience.
I didn’t even have the confidence to set it on fire and put it out again.
In the end, I moved as usual, dealing only with junk mobs, but Sang-woo quickly got bored as the mobs continued to pour out.
“This is so boring. When will the A-level guide come out?”
Sangwoo said as he brushed off the monster’s bodily fluids from his sword.
Seeing this, Sonmi was dumbfounded.
“You’re really strong… Well, after a while, you’ll come to a waterside with mangroves, and if you break it and go over it a little bit, you’ll see a habitat.”
“It’s just a matter of time. Shall we speed it up then? Master, is it okay if we move faster?”
– I’m fine.
Raven, who had been leisurely following after giving Sang-woo some advice, also nodded.
“Now, let’s move quickly. How fast can you speed up, guide?”
“Well, if you run, you can go a little faster.”
“Then go first. I will follow you.”
“yes. Then we go.” After speaking, Sonmi threw herself away.
Poof-
She was confident inside.
Because his main specialty was breaking through infiltration.
Because of this, the movements had to be nimble.
But I was soon surprised.
‘What is it?’
Sang-woo and his clones, Raven, were following Son-mi as she ran fast.
Sang-woo and his alter egos ran between the trees, and the gliding time seemed to fly away, and Raven literally flew away.
It was the power of Windwork.
– How long is the guide left?
Sang-woo said a word with his messenger skill to see if he had time.
Sonmi was so focused on running that she had no time to speak.
-Oh, that’s hard. Please tell me when you arrive.
Sang-woo was not enough to run, so he started following him while taking care of the monsters he saw all over the place.
Sonmi stuck out her tongue.
‘These people are not normal.’
how much time has passed like that
Passing through the mangroves, they were eventually able to reach the bugbear habitat.
After that it was easy.
Because I was able to find the bugbear’s location right away.
-This way.
Raven sensed something and led the party.
After a while.
Chur uh uh uh-!
A bear the size of an apartment, literally, was perched there.
The guy was chewing on the head of a corpse of a monster he had caught somewhere, but he vomited fierce hostility as if he sensed the presence of Sang-woo and his party.
The jungle roared at the bugbear’s howling.
“No. 1, take good pictures of you hunting from behind.”
Sang-woo, who warned No. 1, immediately moved.
“Let’s go!”
As soon as Sang-woo’s words ran out, the alter egos lined up and jumped at the bugbear.
As he jumped at Sang-woo’s group, he was already destroying the trees and rocks around him mercilessly.
Then, as the clones approached, he swung his front paw sharply at them.
It was a very fast and sharp attack compared to its huge size.
bang!
The ground that had been hit by the forepaw rose as if it were bursting.
But there were no clones there.
It was quickly evaded by Windwork’s movement.
As soon as the alter egos evaded, they took over the bugbears in all directions and cast Yeonpungcham.
Shaaaak-
Shaaa Aak-
Shaaa Aak-
…
Dozens of wind blades with aura overlooked in the bugbear’s body.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa bug-bear that was hacked up and covered in blood.
Even at a glance, his flesh and muscles were dented, as if he had already received a fatal wound.
However, the bugbear, probably stimulating its malevolence, began to go mad while moving its injured body.
bang!
bang!
bang!
A bugbear that started destroying the surroundings indiscriminately.
However, he could not avoid the quick clones and Sang-woo, and soon the second attack came.
[Storm Slash]
A whirlwind of wind loaded with dozens of auras flew all over the bugbear.
A situation where there is no place to escape.
The results were self-evident.
Bug Bear,
who was divided into the whirlwind of the wind, lost his lower body and fell to the floor.
Kuung-
And Sang-woo jumps toward the collapsed body.
Sangwoo’s sword soared high.
The sword was imbued with the energy of the Aura Blade. The head of the
bugbear was cut
off
.
The ending was too empty to be considered an A-class monster.
“Is it over?”
Sang-woo also kicked the corpse of the dead bugbear with his foot, as if he killed it too quickly and didn’t have a sense of reality.
-okay. disciple You’ve done it cleanly.
Raven nodded with a hearty smile.
“Looks like it’s over.”
Sonmi was also taken aback and replied.
She was so surprised by Sang-woo’s power.
‘… He’s A-class or already S-class.’
It seemed that her group’s predictions of his abilities would have to be drastically revised.
Regardless of her thoughts, Sang-woo was laughing happily.
“What is it, even grade A is jokbab.”
-That’s because you’ve become stronger. And classifying monsters as A, S, and so on is ambiguous. This world is full of monsters like this. So don’t be too proud. There is a long way ahead.
“Your master. Do not worry. Then, shall we go to the barrier area right away? I think we can just check there and go back right away.”
– Well then.
“Let’s finish quickly and go to Beijing or Shanghai to do some sightseeing. Master.”
-OK.
Sang-woo took the bugbear’s head as a trophy.
Perhaps because the body of the bugbear was so large, its size alone was enormous.
“Should Gluttony make this?”
It was when Sang-woo was thinking of Gluttony as the right alter ego to carry the head.
Gluttony was already in the middle of eating (?).
badly. Yum Yum.
It was eating the body of a bugbear.
“hey! Don’t eat that!”
“… Awkward. gulp.”
Despite Sang-woo’s dissuading, Gluttony didn’t care and ate the bugbear with blood smeared on his mouth.
He wore a tired expression.
‘You almost entrusted the fish to the cat. But due to the power of gluttony, Gluttony is out of control. Ah-oh. Should I just let them eat it all?’
It would turn into his own power anyway if it was digested due to the power of gluttony, so there was no problem with Gluttony eating the bugbear.
It just doesn’t look good.
[1kg of Bugbear’s meat has been digested.]
[Muscle strength increases by 0.001.]
When the stat increase message appeared, Sang-woo made up his mind.
just to eat it all.
However, we decided to take some measures to speed things up.
‘Cut it all up.’
Under Sang-woo’s control, the rest of the clones began to slice up Bugbear’s corpse with their swords.
The gust of wind cast by the alter egos tore the bugbear’s corpse apart.
A carcass dismembered into pieces of meat.
Sangwoo raised a sword wind and sent it into Gluttony’s mouth.
‘Eat.’
Then Gluttony opened his mouth and began to swallow the piece of meat.
Gluttony’s mouth gradually widened and his esophagus opened to an uncanny extent.
Gulp gulp-
Seeing that scene, Sonmi felt goosebumps rising.
“Uh… disgusting.”
I uttered such a sound without even realizing it.
Hearing the sound from the side, Sang-woo scratched the back of his head embarrassedly.
“Ego, don’t you look bad? Look somewhere else for a while. It will be over soon.”
“Oh yes.”
how much time has passed like that
All but the bugbear’s head were able to enter Gluttony’s stomach.
“Fuck-.”
After the predation, Gluttony burped short and thick.
Sang-woo sighed and said to Son-mi.
“I’m sorry for showing you something you can’t see.”
“no. It is a unique experience.”
“Thank you for understanding haha. Then, let’s go straight to the barrier area. Please guide me.”
“yes. Please follow me.”
After entrusting Bugbear’s head to the youngest alter ego (?), No. 14, Sang-woo and his party hurried their way.
Fortunately, the barrier area was not too far from the bugbear’s habitat.
“… from here…”
And I could feel it right away.
It was starting to slow down.
At the same time, a feeling of lethargy found itself throughout the body.
“Here… movement… seems… too… slow… doesn’t it…?”
