The Tutorial Is Too Hard

[Come on, come on. Calm down.This will all turn to blood and flesh...]

[That's crazy, really……. This is crazy...]

* * *

[Welcome to the second floor of the tutorial stage Hell difficulty level.]

The landscape on the second floor was no different from that on the first floor.

A dark, straight passageway made of stone.

One thing, unlike the first floor, is that the ceiling is a little low.

As opposed to the landscape of the first floor and the original second floor, I was quite different.

Including the growth of invisible skills and stats, the appearance has changed.

I am wearing leather armor that I bought as points for clearing the first floor, not the T-shirt I was wearing at home.

Light armor, not heavy armor that can impede movement.

Of course, you cannot rely heavily on the defensive strength of this thin leather armor.

The way to still deal with the trap will be avoidance, and deterrence with shields and swords.

And I don't think we should rely on the defensive power of the equipment just yet.

I got quite a few points for the extra reward, so I was able to get heavy armor, armor that covered my whole body.

However, relying solely on the armor's defensive strength will slow the skill's growth.

I chose light and thin armor intentionally.

At the very least, we can place metal plates on the chest to prevent the risk of accidental heart attack and death.

All I bought was a thick leather band on both my wrists and ankles.

After the stats grew, I could not adapt to the strength I grew up with, so I used to run too fast or twist my ankles and wrists while swinging my shield and sword.

I bought it to protect my wrist and ankle muscles in the least.

I opened my inventory and checked again the type and quantity of potions I had purchased as advice for Kirikiri.

All right, let's go.

I walked out at a reasonable speed.

Going too fast is dangerous.

I don't know what comes out of this tutorial on Hell difficulty.

But you don't have to go too slowly.

You need to walk slowly, being alert to everything around you, like when you first fell on the first floor.

I am not the same as I was then.

A degree or more of tension may continue to be maintained.

The response rate and physical ability also grew inevitably.

I am not relaxed or arrogant.

I clearly know and believe how much I have grown.

And it's not just that.

Comes with sprinting skill and Wind Spirit's Blessing skill.

There were two effects to Wind Spirit's Blessing Skill.

Firstly, Agility stats +10.

And the Wind Spirit's blessing itself.

I was able to figure out what this spirit's blessing was doing during the waiting time before the second car began.

To put it simply, it was similar to a sprinting skill.

Your body is lighter and flies when you are moving at a speed higher than some level.

It was hard to notice due to similar effects of sprinting skills and enhanced agility stats.

However, as I continued to train, I felt something strange.

It's not just the increase in strength and speed that makes your body fall apart.

Something magical and unknown helps my movement.

It's like an Elven movement depicted in a fantasy world movie or a cartoon, like the king of the ring.

Magical, light body-movements that would physically be possible.

Allowing it was the effect of this Wind Spirit's blessing.

The performance was really amazing when I realized and exploited the effects of the skill.

You may not know statistics about the effect of a skill like a game, but there is definitely a big difference between the circumstance in which this skill is triggered and the evasion rate in which it is not triggered.

It does not significantly increase the speed itself, but it changes the dimensions of the body stroke.

That's why I've figured out the lowest rate at which this blessing has been triggered in the past few days.

We don't know the exact speed, but it's a little faster than walking roughly as loud.

As long as I maintain this speed, I am confident I will not be caught in a dazzling surprise trap.

Especially with a common arrow trap like the first floor.

You don't even need to use Combat Focus skills.

Fibonacci-

I heard a voice just as I read my thoughts.

The ceiling in front.

Tongue!

You blocked it with a clean shield.

And then...

Y-y-y-yeah.

As you lower your lower back, you slam forward to avoid the arrows in both feet.

Arrows after the first shot are silent.

You continue to look at the flying arrow calmly, avoiding it.

If I just watch out for the arrows flying from the blind spot, they can't hit me at the speed of these arrows.

Tang.

As you feel free to dodge the arrow, one arrow swings its blade.

Failure to defeat becomes very dangerous, but I try whenever I can to improve my sword skills.

Fang-

It's a very loud shot.

It flies in the same direction as the arrow thrown by the sword.

Tough.

The center of gravity of this pose is shaken as you fire the arrow.

[Battle Focus]

When you trigger the focus of combat, the arrows fly slowly, accelerating accidents.

First, you dodged the arrow flying towards your ankle and sent it straight to the side of the ball.

Then I looked back.

It's strange.

That arrow is too big.

And too fast.

In a world where everything is slow, the only arrow that is swift is flying towards me.

Shit. I can't avoid this.

It's hard to spill.

This is no time for adventure.

Failure to shoot that arrow with your shield will put your life in danger.

The arrow is not the only thing slowing down in a combat focused situation.

My body's speed can't keep up with the speed of thought, so it moves slowly.

Combat concentration speeds up thinking and cognition.

Luckily, you are able to raise your shield and get into position before you get hit by an arrow.

It's strange.

That arrow is too weird.

You slightly repositioned the shield.

And then...

Boom!

The impact was significant, even though the arrow was clearly blocked.

I rolled back to try to minimize the impact a little.

But the arrow pierced through my left forearm.

Aaaah! Damn it.

The arrowhead must have shattered the bone.

If it hadn't been stuck in my forearm, the arrow that pierced my shield would have been in my chest.

It was a good decision to put your forearm in the path of the arrow.

If you don't have the maneuver to stop it, you might as well have pierced your forearm and stuck it in your chest.

What a fucking arrow.

Ballista?

Ping-

Shit, that wasn't the end.

You hear multiple gunshots from behind you.

The Focus stat has been disarmed due to an arrow in the arm and a broken focus.

I tried to avoid blowing myself up, but I got one in the ankle.

It stings.

Fortunately, something no longer flew in.

First, I looked at the ankle.

Stuck in the ankle looks like a needle, not an arrow.

Poison sting?

At that moment, I thought of Kirikiri's advice.

Obviously.

There is something on that needle that causes a condition condition condition condition.

First, I carefully pulled out the needle in the ankle.

And I watched the condition of my body.

If you look at the image of the saliva, it looks like a poisonous sting....

I'm not sure

I don't know what it is, but I can't drink the potion so quickly.

I leaned against the wall with my inventory window open.

Damn it.

The arrow stuck through the left arm is disturbed.

The condition of the left arm is also severe.

The arrowhead breaks the muscles and bones and sticks out.

The pain in your left arm may confuse you with the symptoms you will feel on your ankle.

I'm nervous.

You focus on the condition of your ankle, ignoring your left arm.

Phew.

Cool sweat flows.

I don't know if it's the aftermath of strenuous exercises or the left arm's arrows or the ankle needles.

I felt sore ankles as I waited a little longer.

The pain grows slightly larger and burns like a burn.

I think I got a poison sting.

This isn't some kind of sudden death poisoning, is it?

The paralysis started around the ankle as we waited a little longer.

Let's wait a little longer.

Paralysis started to climb up the ankle, and the fever is rising in my head, causing a slight headache.

Subsequently, abdominal pain began.

This is definitely poison.

You removed the antidote potion from your inventory.

There must be different kinds of poison...

In this tutorial, I was wondering if there is only one poison used in the trap or if poison potions can detoxify all kinds of poisons.

Let's ask Kirikiri one day.

It was hard enough to open the cork stopper of the potion with one hand.

I barely opened the lid and put my mouth on the potion bottle's mouth.

There is a foul stench inside the potion bottle.

Is this medicine?

In fact, they're not just poison potions, are they?

Wow.

I've never been poisoned before, so I'm confused.

I feel fever and pain in my body as well as paralysis symptoms.

These pain…….

Hmm…….

Wait a minute...

It's gonna be okay.

Can we wait a little bit?
