The Live

14.

Day five.

Yoon Jae and Jung were sitting down for a while and talking about things.

The sun begins to set, but the creature shows no signs of a monster.

“Rather, I'm more anxious about the mob. ”

Regular people who were chatting leaned on the spot and said,

Likewise, Yoon Jae, who was leaning on the other side, nodded and replied.

“I know. I wouldn't be so frustrated if I could just get the monster out of there." ”

“Maybe we should just skip ahead today? ”

“No way.”

“If they have a conscience, they'll let them rest a day. ”

“Would you have brought her here if you had a conscience? ”

Though he didn't think it was possible, Yoon Jae kept thinking like a regular person.

Or even more anxious.

‘It can't be that two consecutive appearances at once.... ’

So far, the monster has appeared twice a day with a certain interval.

Time is said to be random, but it never overlaps.

It usually appears once when the sun rises in the middle, and once and twice in the evening.

But this time around lunch, and even though it was time for the second monster to show up, there was no response.

Do you think he's just gonna walk away? Are you sure about that?

‘It's better to skip it than all at once. ’

It's the worst thing that could happen two times at once.

Instead, Yoon Jae hoped that things would go on like this.

Unh-

At that time, Yoon Jae, who was leaning on the spot, felt a strange tremor on his back.

“Huh?"

Yoon Jae, who had his back removed from the post, turned around.

“…… did you feel wrong? ”

Yoon Jae reached out and touched the center of the fracture.

Let's do it.

Ooooo -

I trembled again.

This time it was bigger than just now.

Regular people also woke up, dropping their back to see if they felt it.

“Bro, what's wrong with this? ”

“...... I'd better fall off first. ”

I didn't know what would happen. If you don't know anything, it's safe to be vigilant and watch.

Yoon Jae warned regular people to fall on their hands.

The two of them fell off the beating with a distance apart. Meanwhile, the impact was getting louder and louder.

Ooh, ooh, ooh-

Now I can hear it in my ears.

Moreover, not only was it trembling, but it was flowing from the pulsations to the faint light.

What's going on? ’

The purpose of this tutorial is to protect the quarantine.

But the monster that was supposed to appear didn't show up, and suddenly the panic started.

If this had happened at the end of the 10 days, he would have thought that was the end of the tutorial.

It's only been five days. ’

But the tutorial is only half done.

Not in a timely manner

Yoon Jae got complicated in his head.

The vibrations of the waves grew larger and the light grew stronger.

Yoon Jae and Jeong watched with tense eyes.

And after a while.

쩍-

The parting begins to divide.

“Hey, there! ”

Regular people who were in a hurry cried out with their fingers.

“Well, aren't we supposed to do something? ”

“…… what do I do? ”

“It's breaking! ”

“How do I attach a broken stone? Let's keep it quiet for now. ”

Though he spoke calmly, Yoon Jae was also anxious.

‘If that thing breaks like this.... ’

Do I have to break the monsters by myself if I'm so good at stopping them?

But there was no way to know how this tutorial was going.

Yoon Jae chewed his lips and continued to watch the excommunication.

Soon.

[Weakens the seal of the breach.]

[Weakens the seal and some sealed monsters are released.]

[The Boss is summoned.]

"Boss"?

The same message as when you found the queen.

Yun Jae, who saw the message that the boss was summoned, couldn't help but be nervous.

I remember how hard it was to catch the queen.

“Stay sharp! ”

Jung, who was confused by Yoon Jae's words, nodded in shock.

In front of them, half-awake, bright waves of light pour out fog around them.

Shoot-

The fog slowly searched for the shape.

A dozen skeletons holding a sword in one hand. And one giant skeleton.

Skeletons walking around in human form were weird, but cute compared to Boss Deadwich in the middle.

Like a cow, there was a bone all over its body, and it looked bigger than that.

If there was anything different from the other skeletons, it was that the innards in the bones were clearly exposed.

Two horns were spreading out like mountain goats in his head, but it looked like it would hurt quite a bit if a stomach was pierced there.

‘You look disgusting. ’

Yoon Jae squirmed his eyes as he could see his heart pounding inside the skull.

It was a sight that would make me puke just by looking at it, except for someone with a strong grudge.

But Yoon Jae has hunted monsters a few times and seen their guts spill out.

And it was the same with the regular.

[Skeleton]

[Deadwich]

The name rises above the skeleton and Deadwich.

Fortunately, there were not many skeletons other than the boss, Deadwich.

Yoon Jae glances down at the sword in his hand.

The black has been bitten for so long, it's completely out of teeth. This was also quite durable.

Somewhere unbroken.

‘I wish I had a better sword. ’

Yoon Jae looked around at the Deadwiches and Skeletons, who were summoned to a new place.

Those summoned from the Sanctuary do not like other monsters. It was a good thing.

"We're not defending ourselves this time, are we defending ourselves? ’

Soon, he found Yoon Jae and the regular. It was empty, but I didn't think he was blind.

“Regular! You take the skeleton! ”

Yoon Jae rushes to the Deadwich with the horse.

“What about you?”

“Don't you see? ”

Shhh...

Caaang -!

Yun Jae's sword strikes the dead man's horn.

Even without an answer, I could tell.

Yoon Jae wants to catch the boss.

“Got it!”

The regular started swinging his sword at the skeleton, which began to rush towards Yoon Jae.

It was a regular with pretty good stats in the last battle. Moreover, due to the ‘Trade of the Devil’ skill, regular movements with increased agility were fairly fast.

I'm fine, I'm fine.

A regular sword strikes the skeleton's sword.

Skeletons are not that big, but numerous and quick to fit their appearance.

The norm, which was easily seen by the looks of it, was surprised, but swung the sword while avoiding the skeleton's sword.

In the meantime, Yoon Jae slowly distances himself against the Deadwich.

‘You have no brain. You have a smart head. ’

Yun Jae was about to stab the heart of the Deadwich.

At first glance, Deadwich's weakness seemed to be a heart that appeared to be between the bones.

The heart is the essence of all life. Despite the other skeletons, Deadrich, with a heart, shows a movement to protect his own heart.

I stopped Yoon Jae's sword with my horn, and I countered him.

Two, two, two...

Deadwich rushes to Yun Jae.

There are only bones, but the ground seems to be ringing with enormous size.

Fath-

Yoon Jae stepped aside and stabbed the sword.

The sword slashes.

Whether he knew Yoon Jae's prey or not, he twisted his head and hit Yoon Jae with his tail.

Scheech -

A thorny tail flies.

Yoon Jae, who quickly retrieved the sword, grabbed hold of the Deadwich's bones and leaped upward.

Kaga angle-

There was a huge pile of dust. The floor where Yoon Jae had just stood was scratched on the tail with spines.

Seeing the scene, Yoon Jae swept over his heart.

‘I almost died. ’

Suddenly, my back was creeped out.

But it was also a moment of joy that I was alive.

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

An angry cry comes from Deadwich's mouth.

No, you're probably right to call it screaming.

Yoon Jae seems to have torn his eardrums, but he can't stop his ears.

He held Deadwich's bones in one hand and his sword in the other.

“Th-that's it... ”

Yoon Jae frowned and shook his head down.

I was distracted for a moment. I feel like I'm going to relax and let go of my hand, clutching the dead man's body.

But the more I did, the more I shaken my head.

‘Let it go and it will be over. ’

If you let it go like this, Deadwich will trample you to death.

Yoon Jae gripped his teeth and caught his mind.

Deadwich continues to run.

I didn't go out of town or anything. However, he tried to drop Yoon Jae somehow, running endlessly around the large village.

I was dizzy enough to turn my stomach. However, Yoon Jae gripped it and endured it.

You raise your sword.

And I drove the sword into the heart of the Deadwich.

“Die……. ”

Phew!

Kyahhhhhh!

“Uhh...! ”

The scream hits the eardrum again.

And...

Shh, shh, shh, shh!

Yoon Jae's body flew and fell to the ground.

He drove the sword deep into the heart of the Deadwich and let go of the hand he was holding.

But I didn't miss the sword. After piercing the heart of Yun Jae's Black Deadwich, he followed his hand.

Even more shocked than falling from the car, Yoon Jae's whole body was tapped.

Without activating 'getting hard’ in a hurry, there wouldn't be anything strange about breaking bones all over your body.

Blood spills from the dead man's heart.

Kuaaak-!

Deadwich stares at Yun Jae, screaming, not just dying.

Yoon Jae hurriedly slammed to the side without being able to hold his body in pain.

Scheech -

Boom!

The dead man's horn hits the building wall.

The wall collapses in an instant, and the dead man's body is buried in the collapsed building.

Deadwich falls.

Glug, caw-!

Screaming Deadwich.

Yoon Jae watched his whole body get hurt.

“Bit, that's a real life force. ”

I felt like my shoulders were shrunk from the ground as it flew away.

Yoon Jae looks at Deadwich nervous for a moment. Deadwich struggles to get up for a moment.

Kirik, kirk, kirk.

Kung-

Then Deadwich, who was about to get up, falls to his knees.

Despite a slight twitch, Deadrich no longer appears as energetic as before.

Soon.

[You have defeated the Boss.]

[Achievement achieved.]

[Skeleton stops functioning.]

[All stats +1.]

[You have earned 1,250 Achievement Points.]

[You got ‘D +: Tough Life’.]

[Do you want to acquire the skill?]

“Phew...”

Yoon Jae sighed for relief.

I'm alive.

It was a dangerous gamble, but the result was not too bad.

You got D + grade skills with all stats increased by 1 point. Achievement points were also significant.

But the joy is fleeting.

Yoon Jae frowned and pinched his right shoulder.

Duck -

“Ugh...! ”

The pain I felt on my shoulders made my eyes glow with blood. It was the first time I ever felt pain fit into my shoulders.

“It hurts so bad.... ”

Complaints for a moment.

Yoon Jae quickly checked his new skills.

[Tough Life]

Rank: D +

Category: Active/Active

Skill: 0%

Effect: Pain relieves on activation. Spend Magic Power to heal wounds.

‘You want me to get beaten up and fight? ’

Yoon Jae muttered as if complaining about why he kept giving me skills like this.

Of course, unlike regret, it was definitely a good skill. Recovering wounds quickly means there's a greater chance of survival.

Yoon Jae's gaze, which confirmed her skills, turned to normal.

Already all the skeletons have fallen to the ground.

Deadwich died and the other skeletons stopped functioning.

Regular people were touching the skeleton lying on the floor.

Yoon Jae approached the norm and asked.

“Are you okay?"

“Of course.”

Regularly, he pointed to the skeletons he was touching and asked.

“Thanks to you, right? ”

The Regular was also aware that the other skeletons had fallen because of Deadwich's death.

Yoon Jae nodded and replied.

Normally, I smiled.

At that time, Yoon Jae frowned and said, looking at the halfway house.

“You're hitting me in the back like this. ”

His regular gaze followed Yoon Jae.

“Who knew there'd be monsters out there. ”

You are told to defend yourself from the monsters, and then suddenly, the monsters appear in the cracks.

From Yoon Jae's perspective, I felt like I was being beaten up.

“When the boss comes out on the fifth day, I wonder who else is coming out after this……. ”

“I want to take a bath now. ”

“…… So am I. ”

Yoon Jae sighed deeply and slowly approached the spot.

“Be careful, brother. ”

“I know, I know. ”

As Yoon Jae approached the fracture, he looked at the broken fracture.

From the looks of it, it's just a lump of stone. However, there was still a slight light leaking out from the inside of the broken section.

“…… just like that. ”

“What is it? ”

“I guess it's not over yet. ”

At Yoon Jae's words, the regular man lifted up his sword, surprised by the blemish.

“W-what does that mean? ”

“More than once, if not right now. ”

At Yun Jae's words, I hated regular people and frowned on their faces. Fortunately, we didn't seem to be talking right now.

“They keep coming out? ”

“I don't know if it's going to continue or one more time. ”

When I first arrived in town, the quarry was just a pile of stones that were standing still.

But the light has just begun to emit, and a monster appears around it.

And that light hasn't gone away yet. The outside seems to have disappeared, but the broken inside is still glowing.

“Maybe the monsters will keep coming out of here tomorrow. ”

Yoon Jae looked at the broken cross-section and avoided the gaze because it felt creepy.

“…… or maybe this strike itself is a trap for this tutorial. ”

* * *

‘Tough Life’ was definitely a useful skill.

The wound healed quickly enough to be seen.

I don't have to be afraid of getting hurt.

Of course, the magic was consuming considerably as the effects were clear. "Hardening" has consumed many times the magical power.

I had to calculate whether healing wounds would be the first thing to recover my health or save my magic.

Fortunately, no more monsters have appeared in the fractures since.

Like the other day, the creature appears from the edge of the town and rushes to destroy the impact.

Yoon Jae and Jeong always fought to protect the quarrel.

But now I know.

Why they're after us.

“...... Maybe there's a scary guy in there. ”

Day nine.

Yoon Jae and the regular were exhausted and spread out on the floor.

Normally, he swiped his chest scratched by the fingernails of a two-legged wolf.

“Don't talk to me, I'm in trouble. I don't have skills like you. ”

“Have you changed your personality a bit? ”

“Is that so?"

“I was gentle and attentive at first. ”

“…… isn't he a psychopath if his personality doesn't change in this situation? ”

“Is that so?"

I empathized.

It was certainly changing rapidly in person, physical ability, as well as personality.

Suddenly, I was surprised at the cold thoughts that came to my mind.

“Humans are adaptable animals. ”

“I wish it was a social animal. ”

“This is not a society, right? ”

“I want to go back to society. ”

Yoon Jae smiled a little because of his regular grumbling.

While it lay limp, Yoon Jae took the bread out of the food bag and asked it.

I need to eat to feel more energetic.

Yoon Jae gave one loaf of bread and water to the regular person.

Regular, who had received bread without saying anything, asked him.

At first, he refused to eat, but now he knew he had to be full to use his strength.

“Aren't you even thankful? ”

“Thank you.”

“Damn, it's changed so much. ”

“What about you? ”

“What am I? ”

I asked him jokingly to change the atmosphere a little, but he seemed to take it seriously surprisingly.

“Well... I feel like a wild animal. ”

“Wildlife?”

“Dangerous. At first it was a bit human, but now it's a beast, a beast. ”

I didn't know if it was an insult or a compliment.

But it didn't seem like a joke to me. Regular expressions and voices were quite serious.

‘The beast.... ’

It's more of a compliment than an insult.

At least here, it's better to be a beast than a mild herbivore.

It is often said that the eye is a window that reflects the mind. The change in eyes is probably due to a change in mind.

“With compliments, perhaps. ”

Yoon Jae chewed the bread, the amulet.

Yoon Jae, who was desperately chewing bread as usual, was far from herbivores.
