– Volume 7, Chapter 21
171. Seoul (5)
A three-digit monster.
It was a Class A monster.
It is the strongest monster at the general level, where even players who clear Hard Mode cannot guarantee victory, and it was also a monster that killed countless people in previous lives.
“Ah…
People shuddered when the monster appeared. In the case of Lee Tae-yeon and Kang Jun-hyeok,
they quickly widened their distance as they turned white.
“That one…
the others were just terrified by the overwhelming force. However, the two were able to infer the rough strength of the monster because they had seen many strong people.
they dare not resist.
It was a monster of a level that was hard to see even in the labyrinth.
To the two of them now, the monster in front of them seemed to be on the same level as the leader of the guide of sin. Rather,
it was to the extent that I had to praise him for holding
a weapon without losing his fighting spirit .
Everyone got scared and spaced out.
And Taesan calmly looked at the monster.
‘Class A monster.’
I thought it was time to step out.
A monster that can be fought against even those who have cleared Hard Mode.
But now he is stronger than that.
Taesan walked over to the monster. Kang Jun
-hyeok hurriedly called him.
“brother. That monster…
“I know.”
A-class monsters can’t stop him now. Even the elders would know that. So what would you have written?
Taesan guessed what it was.
[The opponent is an enemy that is difficult to win.]
[Hunger for battle has been activated.]
[Proof of Limit has been activated.] [
Contempt for the strong has been activated.]
[Anti-theism has been activated.]
[Giant Killer has been activated. .]
Cooung!
The monster kicked the ground along with the floating system window. At that moment, Taishan took out his sword and raised it. The monster’s forelegs collided with Taishan’s sword.
Kaaang!
And a storm arose. People were pushed out in the aftermath of the spreading conflict.
“Aww!”
“Save the four people!”
The only ones holding their seats were Lee Tae-yeon and Kang Jun-hyuk.
Even the two of them slammed their weapons into the ground and were barely holding on.
“This is…
A person flew away simply by exchanging sums. That’s even easy or non-normal hard mode players.
Taesan clicked his tongue as he felt people staring at him in disbelief.
If it was an A-class monster, it had enough power to change the terrain. There was a high possibility that
the city would be destroyed in the aftermath alone if a fight was fought nearby .
“I need to move places.”
[You activate acceleration.]
Quaang!
Taesan struck the monster’s chest. The monster was pushed back, but Taesan frowned at the repulsive force he felt.
[102 damage to 999 monsters.]
It was hard.
I didn’t use plus, but the damage was only 100.
Taesan kicked the ground again.
He beat the chest of the attacking monster and blew it away.
The monster raised its front legs instead of flying meekly. He ducked his head to avoid the flying leg and kicked it hard.
“This should be enough.”
Taesan, who had pushed the monster quite far from Seoul City Hall, threw it away. The A-class monster, who rebelled over and over again, was not an easy opponent to suppress even with Taesan’s abilities.
[You activated reconnaissance.]
[Monster 999]
[Target specialization]
Target specialization.
It was the type of monster I’d never seen before, but I couldn’t tell you what it meant.
Taesan raised his weapon.
“Then let’s do it properly from now on.”
People who were blown away in the aftermath of the collision raised their staggering bodies and gathered in one place.
“What about Tae Tae-san?”
“He went to fight a monster.”
Taeyeon said calmly.
“I think he was considerate of us because of the aftermath.”
“Ah…
“Oh. Taesan-nim’s
people sat down and shed tears. Junhyeok Kang smiled bitterly.
“I’m sorry, but I don’t think I have time to be thankful.”
“Uh 7”
The space split again.
Kim Hwi-yeon’s face turned white at the smirking appearance of the monsters.
“Everybody wake up! Go back to your seat!”
The fight started again.
Taesan attacked the monster created to kill him. The monster responded by swinging its leg.
[You activated Charm.]
The moment your legs touched the sword, the trajectory twisted.
Enemies who had dealt with Taesan so far suffered losses without correcting the trajectory.
But this monster was different.
clap.
The twisted leg immediately stopped. Then, with a strong pull, it flew back to Taesan.
Taesan had no choice but to defend against the attack that flew in a blind spot. Again, avoiding the swinging bridge, Taishan swung his weapon.
[You activated an assault.]
When the skill was activated, the color of the monster changed.
The gray monster crouched like a turtle. Taesan’s sword hit the monster in succession, but
other than the penetration damage caused by the aura, no damage was inflicted.
[It’s not ignoring attacks. Is the defense power extremely high?]
“Huh”
M3Kuung
!
The crouching monster kicked the ground. Taesan, who looked like a praying mantis attacking from an ambush, quickly activated a charm and turned the charge’s trajectory.
Snuggle Geek!
Then the monster shook its legs. smashed everywhere
Taesan widened the distance and manifested magic. The frost arrow lodged itself in the monster, but again it did no damage.
“Even magic is useless.”
The ghost let out a laugh.
[It’s literally a monster meant to kill only you.]
Not only does it respond to the shedding attack, but its defense is extremely high, so there was a high possibility that it would be difficult to inflict great damage on landing or jumping attacks.
In addition, magic resistance was also comparable to defense.
It was a difficult enemy, but Taesan’s expression did not change.
In the first place, the skills he possessed were the ones whose greatest advantage was the fact that the opponent did not know. I was expecting the old gods to do something like this.
I summarized the information Taesan obtained.
The opponent was countering the ability sword.
Even magic was nullified, so the spirit skills would be similar.
It was obvious that black magic would not be of much help as it consumed almost all of the demonic energy.
Sadohwa had to be saved until he properly grasped the opponent.
‘The damage isn’t properly nailed down there.’
It could only deal 100 to 200 damage.
As Taesan remembers, the physical strength of an A-class monster is about 200 to 300,000.
The monster seemed to be specially specialized in defense, so it could have had more than that.
Thousands of attacks had to be successful with simple calculations.
‘It’s not impossible, though.’
Taesan once defeated an S-class monster with over 1 million HP with an attack power of 50.
It could be done if there was enough time. That’s probably why the decision was made on a difficult enemy, not an impossible one to win.
The problem was elsewhere.
Taesan glanced away.
The sound of a fierce fight came from the city hall. Additional monsters and people were fighting.
Considering the strength of the monsters, they wouldn’t last long.
It was literally a race against time. Whether he defeats the monster in front of him first or whether the people are annihilated by the monster before that wins or loses.
Taishan’s eyes sank.
The monster was obviously created in response to everything he did.
But that wasn’t the reason Taesan couldn’t win.
Taesan slowly began to analyze the monster’s information one by one.
The mantis-shaped monster did not see any downside. In addition to the defensive power that blocks attacks without much damage, the resistance to magic was also ridiculously high.
The monster was a Class A monster. However, the monster’s abilities so far exceeded all A-class except for strength and speed. Those two were also relative, not that low.
The monster was literally perfect.
Taesan took just that part.
There is no such thing as a perfect monster. Even the most almighty offensive
monsters had a weakness of low physical strength.
Therefore, even the monster in front of you must have a weakness.
The problem, if anything, was what it was.
The monster ran.
Kagak!
Taesan blocked it and continued to think. He searched for the answer by combining the numerous information and strategies he had obtained so far.
‘The form of a monster.’
The monster had the shape of a praying mantis.
And there was only one downside to the hundreds of insect-type monsters Taesan faced.
After thinking, Taesan immediately kicked his feet.
The monster swung its leg. Taesan raised his sword.
Kaaang!
A heavy sensation flowed through the sword.
Taesan pulled at the end of the monster’s leg
.
In terms of strength, he was superior to the monster. The monster’s body was pulled toward Mount Tai. Taesan hit the reverse joint on the monster’s leg.
Kaaaang!
It was the loudest sound ever made. The monster’s body staggered greatly.
[702 damage to 999 monsters.]
Seeing the significantly increased damage, Tae-san was convinced.
This monster had weak joints in its legs.
This was the case with all the insect-type monsters Taesan had faced so far. Although it has a hard shell that is not damaged by moderate blows, it was easy to attack the joints because of its low defense.
So was this monster.
Taesan dug between the monster’s legs and swung his sword. The monster’s joints broke and it collapsed.
The monster swung wildly with its front legs and tried to grab Taesan. Taesan deflected everything with his sword, trampled on the joints of his hind legs, and pulled hard.
Pudeudeuk.
The hind legs began to snap with an uneasy sound. The moment Taesan applied more force to tear off the monster’s joints, a great power descended on the mantis.
Taesan responded immediately.
[You activated Apostleization [Rakiratas].]
[You activated Apostle Slayer.]
Great dignity and power dwelled in Taesan. Taesan gave more strength to the hand holding the monster’s leg. But the monster
shook its legs wildly.
Taesan had no choice but to back down because of the power that was incomparable to the previous one.
Taesan stared blankly at the monster.
The monster felt a different level from before.
[Uh… it’s really different,]
the ghost muttered indignantly. It was not difficult to guess what had happened.
[The old gods gave that monster a rank to kill you. That, too, is at a considerable level.]
The attack on the monster wrapped around the monster’s joints like a kind of defense.
“Is there anything that can be written like that?”
[That’s the first time I’ve seen it. Is it because he is a god? The handling of the case is something special.]
“But something looks strange?”
The monster kept shaking its head like it had a tic. In addition, the movement of the legs became strangely awkward. It was as if they were wearing clothes that didn’t fit.
[Because I was forcibly given a rank. Since I don’t have the right qualifications like you, it must be hard work just to maintain them.]
Taesan kicked the ground.
The monster responded by swinging its front legs.
However, the movement was somewhat awkward. Taesan lightly dodged the slow attack and dug in between his legs.
Then, as before, he stabbed his sword into the joint of his leg.
Caang!
But the sword did not stick.
It felt like I was wearing hard iron armor.
Taesan realized why the high spirits had been concentrated on the joints.
The character of the monster itself was similar to Taesan in sado painting. Since they gained equal strength, it was normal to catch them without any problems if they attacked the joints like before.
However, since all of the monster’s attacks were concentrated on the joints, even Taesan could not be penetrated.
The monster swung its leg and attacked Mount Tai.
But the attack was too clumsy. It was a level that could be avoided by lightly twisting the body.
The ghost let out a laugh.
[It’s half gone. I think they forced it like that because it only takes time anyway? What are you going to do now? I don’t think attacking joints will be difficult anymore.]
Taesan’s expression didn’t change.
It was not uncommon to make up for weaknesses that were being attacked.
A lot of monsters I’ve faced so far.
And dozens of monsters.
All of them had their own weaknesses. Among them, there were not a few monsters who concealed or supplemented their weaknesses.
And Taesan was victorious even against those monsters.
If the weakness is gone, you just have to find a new one. Taesan clenched his fist.
[You activated a deer that walks on the wind.]
Level up with skill.
