Mangem's Paladin

The army has been reluctant to eradicate slime. The slime is due to the nature of the mucinous body through which the bullet penetrates.

If you want to defeat one at a time, you have to blast a nucleus that moves freely from the center of your body, but it's hard to do so by firing a gun. If you want to defeat it with a conventional military firearm, the flamethrowers and RPGs are effective, but the oil-eating flamethrowers are useless scrap, and firing RPGs at a slime is a very bad thing.

So the less effective but the better value suppression method is as follows.

Smack it with a sledgehammer.

Soldiers don't even have to do it. Because of this, the army used to send slime eradication in exchange for a little bit of reparation. No matter what the private simple act of reparation and eradication.

In the case of the thunderstorms here, the slimes were used as livestock to reproduce in the sewers. I received entrance fees and equipment rentals from the youngest workers, and payment of rights from the stalls.

'If you catch a slime, you can sell it for about 20,000 won.'

It's worth 160,000 won a day because the average person catches about eight catches a day, and considering that the price has risen eight times, it's not a good income. On the other hand, Gunuk became good because he thought he was earning an average of 10 million won a day.

Hmph, I sighed.

I pretended to be grave only in front of people earlier, but I was actually uncomfortable in my gut.

In the first place, Gunwook was not shelled by a class like himself earning money. I feel like I'm making money in a disaster. I just confronted even the rebellious general.

I still can't help it. Gunwook heads out and enters the sewer.

I needed lighting as dark as the basement. Focused his mind and emitted a strong afterglow.

The view of the sewer, the so-called slime den, is visible.

Moisture-cooled walls and ceilings were covered with antiqued mucus. The corners were fractured with bones, which were corroded and, even if the shape was unknown, human bones were unpredictable.

Gunwook approached that way.

Mucinous slimes that gnawed at the bones stopped moving. The nucleus contained in the gelatin body narrowed down like a pupil to the gunwook.

The slimes constrict the body, and they expand and overflow at once.

The sound of air tearing.

Gunuk raised the sledgehammer high and lowered it. The hit slime breaks and scatters the gelatin debris. Gunwook immediately turned his head and caught three slimes in the air. When they hit them hard with their shields, both of them were shattered, scattering their nuclei and their contents all over the place.

However, one slime of gear remained attached to Gunwook's body. It was no big deal. Just grab it and take it off and trample it.

After all, there was not one damage, but it was unsatisfactory. I finally allowed the attack. If the stronger monster had been the opponent, it would have been fatal.

'Bitter.'

I went forward with this evil. Then I took out the group of slimes I encountered in a row. With the aim of not being exposed to attacks, I tried to get rid of them as concisely and quickly as possible.

At first, he was frequently exposed to attacks. Nevertheless, he tried to fight better with it. When he touched the center of the sewer, he was able to kill the crowd without asking for a slime in his armor.

Then I smiled. Feeling better, exciting.

I think I'd rather experience even a small battle. Gunwook laughed at the idea of not wasting time.

After continuing to move forward, Gunuk reached the end of the sewer. The stench of corruption shook. I pressed my nose and went forward.

The afterglow shone a huge slime.

The oldest slime here, the mother who would have constantly drained these slimes into the sewers. A huge spinach-colored body with horrible protuberances emerged.

It was the Boss.

Gunwook ran out to the boss.

About ten minutes later Gunwook won.

There was no crisis. The acidic body fluids spray of the massive slime, the spurting tentacles attack, did not even pierce the paladin's shield. If we ignored Slime's attack and scolded him, we would have been able to defeat him.

However, Gunwook did not want to fight so much. Gunwook wanted a combat experience, not victory. Because I wanted to achieve something other than money, Gunwook chose this quest for me that was insignificant.

I wanted to experience solo combat. I didn't fight alone when I usually fought with the army.

When I encountered an Ogre warrior who survived a rocket grape attack, Gunwook thought it was a time to fight on his own initiative. He held Gunwook's Holy Sword in his spleen, but eventually the Ogre Warrior died when the soldiers fired five more rocket guns. The Holy Sword is bigger than the Ogre Warrior's flesh. I haven't even touched his skin.

The same goes for the vampire. Guernuk was just a decoy when he defeated the robber. How dare you lure Gunwook into the open area and the sniper shoots a silver bullet to kill him.

All the fights were like that. Gunwook only functioned as a shield for the army. It was efficient. Just as the Pike Bottle is more useful for keeping Ova fever than a lonely swordsman.

But I felt this was not enough. Gunwook thought he should go beyond the level of usefulness of military parts. Gunwook wanted to go down to the end of the basement. Into the depths of the dungeon where the final boss is waiting for a warrior to defeat himself.

It was impossible as a part of the military. The great armies around the world have not returned to the Underground Foot Digo. The U.S. Army, the Russian Army, and the Chinese Army all lost their troops.

So I decided that I should grow up as an individual. I believe you should accumulate combat skills and experience as an individual, not as a component.

As if Slime were incredibly strong, he tried to respond seriously as if each of those tentacles were deadly.

While the nine protrusions of the giant slime stretched like tentacles and flew like whips, Gunwook also rushed after the tentacles' movements. However, because I have had a lot of fighting experience, I didn't feel like it and didn't get confused.

I responded calmly. I followed the movements behind the shield with my eyes, and I followed them. So the trajectories drawn by the tentacles began to ripen in sight.

It moved the moment the pattern was identified. He pokes the sledgehammer into the gaps of the tentacles that shake the air dizzily.

The attack was uninterrupted and hit. The hammer that pierces the slime and smashes the floor fires in the dark.

The giant slime bursts like a balloon and scatters the debris. The body fluids scattered all over the place vaporized and disappeared as soon as they touched the Crusader's armor.

Gunwook has just retaliated. It was a good battle to think for yourself. I feel like I have been properly trained. I think I can fight more easily next time I have a similar battle. At the same time, it is unfortunate that it is not satisfactory.

'I wish I had learned combat systematically from the beginning. Is it better if you learn swordsmanship? From now on, where? Do I have to learn how to defrost a neighborhood?'

I don't know what to do. I know it won't be better to keep pushing anyway.

I left the sewer and came home. Then I started pushing myself without taking off my armor. As usual.
