The Live

Yoon Jae stayed up late that day.

However, my body was not very tired. Even if I sleep for three or four hours a day, my fatigue will be relieved.

After waking up, Yoon Jae and Jung simply took breakfast, bought some dry food, and walked out of town.

“It's no different from Meln here than I expected. ”

Regular people were shivering all the way out of town.

Thinking when and where Murder Clan killers might pop up.

However, with the exception of no one, the dark matter seems to be quite different from other villages as well.

“You said it yourself. It's a pretty decent town, except it's a murderous town. ”

“There are no killers. ”

“They'll see you soon enough. ”

Regular asked me with white face.

“You're kidding, right?”

“No way.”

Yoon Jae took a step with a big smile.

The terrain surrounding the dark forest was dark.

A forest of unusually colored black trees.

Inside, there are monsters far more powerful than the monsters that inhabit Mellon.

‘This is not the city that came here to hunt in the first place...' ’

There were many great prey near the Dark Mix.

However, it was rare for those who were hunting.

The majority of those who visited the Darmium in the first place were because hunting was not the primary purpose.

So you don't have to notice.

In some ways, it is a village that is better suited for hunting.

Of course, there is a problem that not only monsters, but people need to be careful.

Yoon Jae stepped into the forest and said.

“A month from now. ”

The deadline was set.

“We hunt here for a month, and we participate in the Murder Clan's trials. ”

“Test……? ”

Yoon Jae's eyes widened.

At a late pace, the angry regular asked out loud.

“Now, wait a minute. What test?”

“Once a year, in the dark, there's a Murder Clan trial. The test results are, of course, relevant to the murder. ”

“Are you taking a test to cover up the clan? ”

“Yes."

“Why are we participating there? ”

The Regular asked me that, but I couldn't help but mutter.

“No way…. ”

“You're probably right. Half.”

One of the objectives of taking part in the trial was, of course, to find out who killed my wife and daughter.

Serial killers who've killed countless people in real life.

No one fits the clan better than him.

“It's roughly the same time. He was in real life at least half a year ago. If he had gone to the other side, this Murder Clan test would have been his first chance. ”

“Are you sure he's going to join the Murder Clan? You don't know where a psycho like that would go. ”

“I'm not sure. But most likely. ”

The Murderer Clan was the largest gathering of killers on the other side of the world.

It was also true that I was more likely to meet him as such.

“Half right means there's another purpose besides that? ”

“There is. Maybe. ”

“Maybe? What is that? ”

Normally, he sighed deeply.

“I really... I wasn't this sighed. ”

I thought I'd be caught up in something dangerous since I came to the Dark Mix called Murderer Village.

I thought I might be able to find out who killed my family.

It was also not easy, and of course it was risky.

But I can't believe it's taking part in a test where killers are swarming.

“... You mean you want me to be a little stronger to survive? ”

“A month ought to do it. ”

There were basically three reasons why they were hunting:

Increase stats through hunting, make money through monster byproducts, and increase skill skill level.

Hunting the monsters around Mellon at the level of Yun Jae and normal was difficult to achieve.

But the city of Dachmium is dominated by the third and fourth years.

If you hunt the monsters around here, you'll get good results.

“Well, I have to try this ring on right now. ”

Yoon Jae looked at the two rings on his hands.

The rings Abram was wearing.

Emotions confirm the item's abilities, but I have never used it properly.

Especially, the ‘clockwork' received from Elvin was not able to know the correct effect even after seeing the explanation.

‘Moreover, since you said you need skill.... ’

I need two things right now.

Abram's potion suddenly strengthened his body and his magic, and taught him how to use the ring.

A month later, the Murder Clan's test was to be completed.

“I finally have someone. ”

Yoon Jae looked around, smiling.

Chaang -

I also drew my sword without saying that I knew the norm.

Rrrrrrrrrrrrr

Later, there was a cry coming from everywhere.

There were a lot of them. The sound is heard from above the tree.

Monsters with colors that go well with black trees.

“…… I think it's some kind of protective color. ”

“Like a monkey, right? ”

“Let me see your name... … I heard it's a 'baboon'? ”

A dozen monkeys.

But he was too big to be a monkey.

One inch taller than a messy adult man, his whole body was made of muscle and fur.

I thought it would be pretty quick to see you up on a tall tree.

“It's a good test. ”

Yoon Jae pulls up his magic while pulling out his sword.

At the same time, the magic surrounded by Yoon Jae's sword began to glow crimson.

Bloom-

“It's hot.”

Regular whistled in a small amount of heat.

One of Abram's Rings, the ‘Ring of Attribution’ effect.

It was the ability to store magic on the ring and give it the attributes you wanted.

Kyahhh-!

Woof, woof, woof!

One by one, the gazelles, possessed by the magical power that flowed from Yun Jae, started rushing in.

Yoon Jae and Jung were scattered to the left and to the right, as no one had promised.

Pa, pa, pa!

Kuang -!

One of the baboons leapt into the position where the two stood.

The baboon exudes a powerful force that pierces hard ground with its bare hands.

And at the same time, ten baboons attacked in unison.

Woof, woof, woof!

Agile move.

Yoon Jae used one ring to move away from them.

Kieing-

Tick-tock.

Items of Class A 'watch leaf. ’

The moment it triggered, Yoon Jae's clock dial changed.

‘This……. ’

The baboons seem to be moving slightly slower.

It wasn't a big change. Very fine, but slightly slower than you would notice if you didn't pay attention.

Was it slowing them down?

No, I didn't think it was that different from the description of the ring.

Yoon Jae's eyes looked at the regular image of him fighting on the other side.

Normal movement also appeared slightly slower than the first time.

What-!

The fist of the baboon flew past Yun Jae's head.

At the same time, Yoon Jae grabs his arm and drops it back.

Kung-!

I didn't feel like I was slowing down.

Same as before. Nothing has changed.

‘Isn't it just slow looking? ’

I need to check.

‘A little more……. ’

Yoon Jae began to see the world a little differently.

My head is a little dizzy as I accelerate the operation of the ring. My eyes were tired and my head was tingling.

At the same time, the world slowed down.

In such a slow world, only Yoon Jae was fine.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Yun Jae's sword slashed the slow-moving baboon's neck.

The scarlet flame around the sword burns the flesh. It has a sharper cutting power than the black one with properties.

Fath-!

In slow time, Yoon Jae's body moved.

* gasp, gasp, gasp * -

Yoon Jae, who had dug through the gaps of the distant baboons, turned around and swinged his sword.

My body was cut off and my head fell off.

The baboons couldn't even react properly during those few cuts.

‘Definitely slowed down. ’

No, that's exactly what it looked like.

It's like you're speeding up.

Yoon Jae's eyes and senses felt like 'the world was slowing down’.

He manipulated his senses by touching Yoon Jae's head, slowing down everything he felt.

It was as if the world looked slow as a well-trained athlete maximized concentration.

‘…… Has my body accelerated since my senses were maximized? ’

With the world looking slow, judgments and reflexes could work better.

But that alone was not considered a class A item.

The important thing is that the world does not change in Yoon Jae's movements, apart from looking slow.

In fact, there is a much faster effect of movement.

‘I think I know how Abram was able to use all that magic at once. ’

Abram used dozens of magic at the same time.

Using multiple skills and magic at the same time was extremely difficult.

The horsepower required to use one spell immediately and the horsepower required to use two magics were completely different.

But Abram was using this clock to live a different life from others.

Then nothing is impossible.

Using multiple spells at the same time, you can take your time and use them step-by-step.

Of course, having a clockwork leaf did not mean that everyone could do like Abram.

‘The problem is...... it's hard to use for a long time. ’

Yoon Jae shook his head as the itchiness of his head and fatigue of his eyes got worse.

Activate the ring and you have one minute. The effects were clear, but fatigue accumulated rapidly.

It moves at a different time than it used to.

It was a wondrous thing, but it required such high concentration and fatigue.

‘Ring of Attribution’ feeds on magical power and 'Clockwork' demands concentration and proficiency.

If I could sustain my clock reel for a long time without fatigue right now, and if I could control time freely, there would be no more deceptive items.

‘We need to practice. ’

Somehow, it was similar to a skill.

Even the same skill depends on the skill level.

From now on, how to use time as a clock leaf and how to use it in battle was Yoon Jae's responsibility.

“Phew -”

Yoon Jae took a deep breath and unwinded the clockwork.

The itching of the head remained for a while. It was difficult to maintain for a long time because my skill level was still not that high.

‘Do you have about a minute to hold? ’

It was too short.

The head suffers from overload as much as it manipulates slower, and as much as it manipulates longer.

What time did Abram move with this ring? ’

Abram used dozens of magic simultaneously.

Suddenly, he felt great.

Moreover, Abram himself made this ring.

“You must be going through a lot. ”

I did not know how long it would take to be able to use this ring freely.

But it is clear that, depending on the use, you will be able to move at a completely different time than others.

“The regular guy……. ”

Gregg-

Yoon Jae turned his head and looked at the normal way of fighting the baboons on the other side.

“…… Well, you're doing well. ”

Kuang -!

A huge sword, 10 meters long, falls.

Abram's ring, given to him by a normal person.

It was an A-grade item, the 'Ring of Giants’ effect.

* * *

“Whaa-”

Regular people held out their tongues as they watched the scene unfolding before their eyes.

The ground slashes ten metres from where his sword falls. And there were three little baboons.

The herd of baboons is all cleared out.

“That's... That's ridiculous. ”

It was truly a tremendous power.

The regular gazes at the sword that returns to its original size, held in its hand.

Abram's item, 'Giant's Ring. ’

The effect was to apply magical force to change the size of the object in contact with the hand wearing the ring into a free material.

Moreover, the object gained weight in proportion to the increased mass, and the hand wearing the ring had the effect of ignoring the increased weight.

Swings a small steel sword at the speed of a single, temporary, giant sword for a few tons.

Of course, the power was overwhelming.

‘Though the horsepower is too large. ’

It was never easy to ignore the mass and weight of an object. It consumes the magical force to transfer to the entire volume.

Power is certainly great, but it's not enough to handle the expense of magic.

Moreover, fine-tuning was still a difficult part.

‘Still, this is more useful for the melee clan that fights with tools in their hands than the wizard. ’

Fortunately, the consumption of magical power can be solved by drinking the potion from the Magic Tablet.

Moreover, Abram's first ring had a significantly lower rate of magic consumption.

The problem is fine-tuning the magical force.

If the sword gets too big for the first time, it might get in the way of a fight.

“I'm sure we need to practice. ”

“Isn't that right?"

Yoon Jae came close to the usual mumbling.

Regular nodded. Then suddenly, I just remembered Yoon Jae's movements and asked.

“What happened to you? I saw you flying earlier. ”

“Likewise, thanks to this. ”

Yoon Jae exposes the two rings she has in her hand.

One of them is a Class A item, a watch leaf. Yoon Jae let the regular know its effects.

“Wow, that's a real scam. ”

“It's still hard to use that much. It seems like it will take a while for it to be used properly. ”

Yoon Jae and Jeong had the same problems.

That the ring is still incompetent to use.

The effect depends on who uses the same item.

“I wonder if I'll be able to master it properly in a month……. ”

You have one month.

We didn't know if we could use the ring properly inside.

“We have to try. ”

It would be difficult, but one thing was certain.

The effect of two items of grade A is much better than they thought.

And you can be strong without rest until you've handled it perfectly.

“A month from now. Don't even think about resting. ”

Along with that, Yoon Jae immediately began to move again.
