228. Eight months later, at least one thing I’m good at is
“{My skills?}”
“{Well, a dimension mover won’t reveal all his skills just to catch a wild boar like this… You can just give me a quick taste. }”
Kang Seung-hyun finished speaking and took a step back.
Even if it’s a temporary companion, it’s basic common sense to look at the skills of the companions you’re going to be with.
‘Where and how will this guy fight?’
Seung-hyun Kang has encountered all kinds of dimension movers and monsters from the Azul Continent, but his expectations were quite high as it was his first encounter with a being with bizarre powers like a black beast.
If you combine the information you have obtained so far, you must be hiding some tremendous power.
‘Seeing that they don’t use weapons, I think they’ll focus on hand-to-hand combat.’
Do you want to show a fight that goes wild like a beast as it looks?
Or the way to subdue with the moderation technique?
Kang Seung-hyeon looked at the black beast in anticipation of gaining new information.
“{Uh huh…}”
But the black beast hesitated and didn’t even approach Rubyhog.
Is it the type that takes time to cast
“{….}” skills?
Kang Seung-hyeon crossed his arms with a bored face and watched the black beast.
“Curp, gurruk…”
While he was procrastinating, Rubyhog lunged at him with a face full of rage.
“∇∵ !”
“Kwaeeeek!”
The black beast jumped up and ran away, and Rubyhog snorted and chased after him.
Passes! Pasarak!
“Quieeek!”
“^●%%#==!”
A black beast runs away frantically and a jewel wild boar frantically chases after it.
It’s like watching the stupid animal kingdom.
“{No, what are you doing without using skills?}”
“{Uhhhh!}”
Pababat!
During such a foolish chase, black thorns sprouted from the black beast’s feet.
It seemed that he had finally remembered the existence of the skill.
Pababat!
thud!
A towering wall of thorns barely stopped Rubyhog’s charge.
Papababat!
The black beast attacked Rubyhog’s jewel with a black thorn in the gap, but
KANG!
“Quack!!!”
Rubyhog roared with an even more enraged face and charged at a faster pace than before.
“{Ughhh!}”
Eventually, the black beast changed form from quadrupedal walking to bipedal walking and started climbing up the tree in a hurry.
“Kwaweeek!!”
thud! thud!
Rubyhog rammed into a tree trunk and ran wild, and the black beast clung to the tree trunk and yelped.
“…”
Kang Seung-hyeon looked at the scene as if he was dumbfounded.
‘What did I just see?’
It’s all about fighting for a while, but the black beast is definitely strong.
Just looking at his physical ability, he overpowered quite a few dimension movers, and he could freely change his fighting style using form change, and the skills he used belonged to a case that was difficult to cope with easily.
‘With those specs and skills, that’s the only way to fight?’
Kang Seung-hyun couldn’t understand at all.
‘Are you sure you don’t know your own abilities? No, it can’t be.’
There was no way that a dimension mover with a status window would not know about his abilities, unless he was an Azul Continental citizen.
Let’s activate [Eye of Observation] just in case.
[Black Beast]
[Abnormal status ‘fear’!]
As expected, he was scared and couldn’t fight properly.
‘Where’s the guy who gets [fear] here!’
A fact that even Kang Seung-hyeon, who has excellent observational skills and cool-headed judgment in understanding the psychology of others, did not realize.
‘Well, there’s all that rubbish!’
It was that Kim Ho-jung was a poor human being who deviated from common sense.
-thud! thud!
All the while, Rubyhog kept crashing into the tree trunk.
In fact, people who see the jewel boar for the first time mistakenly believe that the jewel embedded in its forehead is its weakness and attacks it, but [
there is a red jewel embedded in the forehead.]
[Attack power and movement speed increase whenever the jewel is impacted.]
[Accumulation of buffs The maximum number of times is 200.]
Actually, it’s not just a weakness, it’s a vice.
It is also a trap that triggers a strengthening buff when touched.
‘If you observe the jewel boar a little, you can see that the jewel on the forehead is not a weakness.’
If it’s a real weakness, there’s no way to shock the jewel with a headbutt.
In reality, the purpose is to strengthen the body by shocking the jewel.
thud! thud!
“Queeeeek!”
Even after crashing into the tree for a while, there was no sign of the black beast coming down, so Rubyhog screamed loudly and turned around.
‘Do you want to move the target?’
Seunghyun Kang took out a knife as if he had been waiting for it.
Doo doo doo!
Ruby Hog rushed towards Kang Seung-hyeon at full speed.
The body has been strengthened quite a lot, so frontal breakthrough is a big burden on the body, but if you want to win, you have to take a little bit of damage into account.
‘It’s worth it. This pig sells for a pretty high price.’
Kang Seung-hyun was about to fight him.
thud!
Suddenly, the black beast that was climbing the tree fell to the ground.
“{Iiik!}”
I ran at high speed and threw a body slam at Rubyhog.
“Sweet!”
“{Uhhh!}”
Rubyhog, who had been pushed back, immediately got up and began to trample the black beast.
I don’t know for sure, but the black beast seems to have pulled off aggro against Rubyhog by throwing its body.
“{There’s at least one thing he’s good at.}”
While Rubyhog attacked the black beast, Kang Seung-hyeon quickly climbed onto his back.
“Kwuuuuuuuuu!”
Ruby Hog ran rampant to shake off Kang Seung-hyeon, but he didn’t budge and stabbed him in the neck with a knife.
Fu-wook! hooked! Fu-wook!
Poo!
As he stabbed the knife until it shattered, the thick leather, which originally boasted great defensive power, could not withstand Kang Seung-hyeon’s monstrous strength and tore apart.
[Incision]
Aww!
And finish with a clean slash attack.
Kang Seung-hyun took out a new knife and cut Rubyhog’s head with [Incision] before jumping off his back.
thud!
Rubyhog sat down without even screaming.
“{Oops…}”
The black beast that had barely crawled out sighed and spread out on the floor.
Kang Seung-hyun, who looked at the scene pathetically, was lost in thought for a moment.
‘Yes, let’s throw it away.’
After much thought, Kang Seung-hyun came to a conclusion.
I thought about it for about a minute, but it’s not something a person would do to accompany such a scumbag.
‘I’ll have to lose money right after I go down the mountain.’
No matter how good the ability is, an idiot who can’t use it properly is not worth making as a companion.
“{It’s already late….}”
The black beast looked up at the sky.
When I heard that, I saw that the sun was already setting.
“{I guess I’ll have to give up going down today.}”
“{Yeah…}”
I deviated from the hiking trail because I had to deal with the jewel boar, and even after going down the mountain, there is no place to stay near here.
It was a place where you would have to walk for a long time unless you were lucky enough to run into a carriage to go there.
‘Anyway, is it decided to go to bed outdoors tonight?’
Seunghyun Kang grumbled briefly and got up.
‘…let’s get ready for camping.’
If you were going to sleep outdoors, you had to at least make a campfire and make a soft bed.
Even if you’re a dimension mover, you won’t get tired if you just lie on the dirt floor and sleep.
‘First, start with a bonfire.’
It was the moment Kang Seung-hyun was about to get the ingredients
.
The black beast that was searching the bush came with a bunch of branches, took out a lamp from the inventory and lit it.
Roaring!
The fire moved to the piled branches, creating a plausible bonfire.
thump.
Next, pick up gravel and pebbles, pack a simple fire pit, and
pak pak pak!
They dug around the campfire with their forepaws, made a pit, and started laying leaves.
“{Is this enough?}”
A warm bonfire to drive away the cold night air and a bed of soft leaves to keep the cold on the dirt floor.
In the blink of an eye, the camp was ready.
“{Yeah, what…}”
Kang Seung-hyun, who watched the scene without moving a hand, naturally sat down.
“{There is a pond over there, will it come up?}”
“{Drinking water is in your inventory, but it’s better to save it for emergencies.}” “{
Then go and think.}”
Even after that, the black beast runs to the pond or They moved busily, such as picking fruit from trees.
“{Can you eat this?}”
“{It’s a watery snake strawberry. Eating it raw will give you a stomach upset, but eating it cooked will be no problem.}”
“{Then boil it and make porridge…}”
Kang Seung-hyun took out a cooking pot and boiled biscuits and wild strawberries to make a simple soup.
“{Something bland.}”
“{Since there is no salt, pepper, sugar, or anything else…} “{
If I go to town, I should buy some salt.}”
The taste was subtle because of the cooking skills of the two, but I was able to fill my stomach. .
“{Now I feel a bit relieved…}”
It was then.
Hwaaak!
Black smoke rose from the floor and enveloped the body of the black beast.
Whoop!
And when the smoke disappeared, there was an ordinary man eating, not a black beast.
“huh? What did you put on my face?”
“No, it’s nothing. Never mind.”
“What? I’m curious.”
“It just suddenly turned into a human.”
“No, it’s nothing! It’s very important to me!”
Kim Ho-jeong was very happy and looked at her body.
“Hey! Finally, finally back!”
From Kang Seung-hyeon’s point of view, there wasn’t much change from eight months ago, but the difference was that he was wearing a black robe, like a black beast, rather than salmon-colored pajamas.
“I was really worried because I didn’t go back this time, but time is the answer…”
Kim Ho-jeong sighed as if she was very relieved, and then fell asleep.
“What kind of transformation cancellation do you do while eating?”
I don’t think even a superhero would do that.
Kang Seung-hyun ate the strawberry porridge he had been eating as if he was dumbfounded.
“Well, it seems like you can use [God’s Communication] now, so you don’t have to accompany me?”
In hindsight, that’s a good thing.
Now that it’s not a black beast or anything, there’s no reason to take it with you.
‘Let’s make a stop loss as soon as we go down here.’
-‘It’s convenient.’
Two days have already passed.
Originally, I was thinking of abandoning Kim Ho-jung as soon as I came down from the mountain, but
“{I will remind you of water.}”
“{I can’t go because of the bushes. Shall I cut some?}”
“{Should I sell the land here? Or here?}”
“{I caught fish in the river!}”
It was so much more comfortable than I thought.
It was because he did all kinds of chores without being told to do it.
‘This is really very comfortable.’
Until now, I had to do everything myself because I was traveling alone, but now I can make a fire, collect water, and even make a bed even if I just stay still.
‘Is this why people bring their colleagues?’
Asking them to do chores, picking up fallen items, digging the ground, and letting them clean up after themselves.
‘…No, this kind of thing is just a prank rather than a colleague.’
After thinking for a moment, Seunghyun Kang shook his head.
I knew that Kim Ho-jeong wasn’t a very useless person, but I didn’t feel like a good coworker to pamper.
‘It’s quite comfortable, but I don’t like dragging incompetent idiots around.’
Although Kang Seung-hyun liked to rise above others, he was not the type to find fun in leading people below him.
‘As expected, it’s better to go alone.’
Kang Seung-hyun’s thoughts changed a month later. It was after he went through something.
