The Tutorial Is Too Hard

It was definitely effective when I took the elixir.

A little power stats, one elixir to raise a little agility stats, and two pills of the type of tonic medicine that is good for health.

The stats were not that big.

Just a little faster, a little stronger.

And that difference helped realize the most important proposition in combat.

Hit before stopping, and avoid before hitting.

Slightly moves past enemy lines of attack.

In addition to a few advantages, the absorption of elixir made combat very easy.

“Phew.”

You sigh as you see the giant chimeric ball rolling in front of you.

In addition to enhanced body movements by elixir, the steep slopes and the slopes are being slaughtered relatively easily by the number of enemies filling them.

I managed to kill it easily for three hours.

This is enough criminal record.

The goal of slowing them down and harassing them has already been exceeded until the chimeras arrive in front of the fortress.

But the easy hunt seemed to have ended here.

The chimeras halt their march completely.

He decided it was better to deal with me first than to run towards the fortress.

It can't be bad.

My goal is to prevent them from occupying the Keep.

No more, no less, just for ten days.

If they're on the battlefield far from the fortress, I'd welcome them, too.

The chimeras that stopped marching didn't rush straight to me.

Rather, he opened up his distance from me.

It circled around me, keeping a constant distance.

That's about 200 meters away.

Those who did so lowered their posture with some distance to the side, front, and back.

“What the hell is this? ”

No one answered my muttering.

The chimeras have done their job with dignity.

You're trying to keep it from falling off.

If you're squeezing the scrum that way, the back person can take it stably, no matter who rolls down.

These chimeras have enormous strength, so even if they fly at a decent speed, they will be able to receive them.

If so, it will appear as:

Bang!

Beyond the scrum of wall-weaved chimeras, a black chimera appeared before my eyes.

If you make a ring like this, the next thing that comes up is the player.

The Black Chimera has the head of a beast.

My head, arms, legs, and torso were all together.

It wasn't black, it was black.

It reminded me of my body, head, or a black Jaguar.

If the needle marks or the size of each limb were not slightly different, they might have mistaken it for a Demibeast, not a Chimera.

It was a chimera that well made.

“I heard you were responding well, but there was a commander nearby. ”

“Human.”

I talked to him just in case, but he really talks.

“Human, why are you here? The Knights of the Empire could not have already reached this mountain. ”

You speak well.

Let's talk first.

I need information. I'm curious.

“I don't belong to the Empire. I just stumbled into it. ”

“If so, may I ask your purpose? ”

Ooh, more gentle response than I thought.

He speaks even better than the minions.

It's a little stuttering, but he's got a good accent.

Unlike other chimeras that appear to be, it looks quite intelligent because it is an individual who maintains one type.

“To protect the dragon's legacy for a limited time. ”

The Jaguar chimera pondered silently for a while.

“How long, how long are you going to keep it? ”

“The next 10 days. ”

“Trouble, trouble. By then, the Imperial soldiers will be upon us. Can you clear a path for us, please? ”

This is amazing.

When I first saw the chimeras, I didn't think I could have this calm conversation with them.

Even a favor, not a threat.

“Can you tell me why you're after the legacy? ”

“Mal, will you give it to me if I tell you? ”

“No.”

The face of the Jaguar Chimera has turned violent.

The black pupils in the yellow eyes of cats and beasts are sharpened.

You move your feet and prepare for battle as you pick up the ground.

“If so, then why are you asking? ”

The reason was simple.

“Curious.”

The face of the Jaguar Chimera has turned worse.

I can't believe that face can get worse over there.

Amazing.

One more surprising thing was that the growling Jaguar Chimera answered.

“To regain our humanity. ”

Humanity?

“We are humans. ”

“This is the worst joke I've heard in years. ”

The face of the Jaguar Chimera became even more crumpled.

* * *

The Jaguar Chimera began a long story.

How the original Humans became monsters after being kidnapped by the Black Wizards.

What it's like to be a monster and be forced into a life.

About the pain and the grief.

Few of the chimeras are conscious and aware of the past, including themselves.

The rest of the chimeras follow their words without thinking.

Although the Black Wizards were exterminated, it was also said that the unconscious chimeras were growing indiscriminately through reproduction because of the curse they left on the chimeras.

Seeing the new creatures born as monsters, Jaguar Chimera made a decision.

We have to end this.

I will take the Dragon's Legacy and use it to become a human being, not a monster.

He said he made that decision.

That was the story.

At the end of the story, there was only one thing I felt.

That Jaguar Chimera must have wanted to tell this story.

I think I've been working on this story by myself for a really long time.

To talk to someone other than Chimera.

Would he want to justify himself and be comforted?

I don't know.

Other than that, I didn't get much appreciation.

“That's funny.”

“What, what. ”

“The minions wanted to use the Legacy to become mercenaries when the dragon died. They're already dead dragons to protect as mercenaries. ”

“Yes, yes. Their hopes are meaningless. ”

“And the chimeras want to use the dragon's legacy to become human when the Black Wizards are slaughtered by the Empire." Monsters have already strayed from the human path. ”

The jaguar chimera's pupil is covered in red blood.

I looked at the low growling chimera and thought,

Why didn't they just kill themselves?

Killed and killed all the unwilled chimeras.

Then, at the last moment, they might have been able to safeguard their humanity and take rest from dignity.

Suicide is often said to be the refuge of weak cowards.

I couldn't handle the pressure right away, so I gave up all the possibilities in the future.

But death is a relaxing rest for someone who is living a really harsh life.

And someone in a harsh environment does not easily give up the path to being so comfortable.

The determination to continue living is more painful and heavy than the futility behind death, rather than immediate pain.

I know better than anyone who is still alive and not suicidal.

Avoiding suicide is not an easy task.

So the chimeras may have created one goal and obsessed with it.

The humanity that's gone.

He would have risked everything in his life for that goal.

I made a reason to continue living like that.

However, human beings are hard to keep even when they are born as human beings.

Even if they get the necklace and awaken the power hidden in it, they won't be able to become human on their own.

Chimera seem to think that necklace will make them human, but I don't.

Such a thing is not a necklace, but it cannot even be a god.

We may be able to reclaim our human form, but we'll be no different than the Doppelgänger in human shells.

As the Jaguar Chimera said to the minions, it is meaningless hope.

“Why, why, why? ”

“What.”

“Are we so loathsome? It's so hateful that he would mock us with such cruel words without kites. ”

In the words of the Jaguar Chimera, I was silent for a moment.

And I insisted.

I didn't like the chimeras or the minions.

There was common ground between the little people and these chimeras.

They wanted to change their existence and their value through the Dragon's Legacy.

Another similarity was that the inherent limits and uses were set by the creator.

Chimeras were born by the Black Wizards as monsters for war and destruction.

The minions were born by dragons as workers for the Hadret.

I could see why they didn't like it.

Especially the underlings.

I stopped thinking.

I also drove out what was left of my mind.

Now's not the time to think about anything else.

It should not come to mind immediately before the battle.

“Name, what's your name, human? ”

“Hojae Lee.”

He's not laughing at my name either.

He was wearing a Jaguar head, too, so I thought maybe he was.

Fortunately, I did not.

Instead, I shouted in a thunderous voice at the top of the mountain.

“Hojae Lee! I won't forget that name! The name of the shameless who mocked us! ”

I can't hear you.

My ears became deaf to the incomplete castle.

What can I say? I was nervous.

“Defeat you, and we will regain our humanity! ”

A number of chimeras start to shout as Jaguar Chimera crews.

The ground under the sound of a united shout seemed to shake.

The more nervous I got, the more I felt.

The shouts of the chimeras were not merely a shout and excitement.

In fact, it appeared to have a magical buff effect.

The Jaguar Chimera is out of sight.

He was expressing a calm expression about where he had gone until a moment ago.

Among the chimeras who were weaving the scrum, the ones in the front row rushed in together.

The chimeras in the rear row took a large step forward and stood guard.

I was screaming excitedly, but not a step away from the row.

Looks like these guys are made of soldiers for war, not just monsters.

Or so I was trained.

I used my soul exploitation, fortitude and Intimidation skills, and turned two heavenly bodies into Longsword and Shield, respectively, before dealing with the first row of chimeras rushing towards me.

The number of chimeras is decreasing quietly one by one, while the second row of chimeras move.

At the same time as the second row of chimeras rushed forward, the third row of chimeras stepped forward, squeezed the scrum and held their place.

Are you going to run in lines like this?

Before the wheel, yes.

I like it before the wheel.

The advantage before the wheel is that you can spend time continuously consuming your opponent's stamina, resulting in a clear victory.

“Kieeek!”

He slits the throat of the rushing chimera with his arms cut off.

A chimera with a cut throat remains motionless, and falls flat.

It also triggers the effects of exploitation of the soul.

Restores health and vitality.

As long as my soul exploitation skills are healing and my health will not be depleted first, as long as my enemies are scattered across the sky like this.

Chimeras perform siege attacks as well as well trained soldiers.

In this case, you need to set a clear line.

To the extent that I can attack.

To the extent that access should not be allowed.

Through ongoing combat, the enemy gets to know the line.

And dares to come over the line.

Do not attack enemies crossing the line in an orderly fashion.

I have ventured in, but as soon as the sword leaves me for enemies who are showing off their presence at the edge of the attack range, many enemies who are only after me when I am defenseless will rush to the breach.

That's why we need to know.

The personality, skill, and intention of each enemy.

Anticipates and responds to the movements of all enemies that enter the eye and do not enter the eye.

in the best order possible.

Which one to block first, which one to avoid first, and which one to attack first.

We must continue to answer the questions that should not be wrong.

So this battle is very important not only for physical strength, but also for maintaining concentration.

In the meantime, it is natural to fight effectively, conserving magic and power.

I'm confident in these battles.

Very confident

I've been able to stop a large number of enemies.

Many have never been able to break through.

I used to run out of places with all my strength.

But I have never been defeated.

The proof is that I am standing here alive.

Immediately, I made an error on the edge of the sword and swung it.

A chimera that was outside the range of the attack cracks its neck.

He was hunched over, rushing towards me with his body at once.

He needs to be cut off in advance before he can run.

The axe swings from behind.

Instead of turning back to respond, you spread the Tallarian wings and block the axe.

At that point, I cut off the trunk of a chimeric running forward.

There is another axe swinging to the right.

The waving line was shallow.

You ignore the attack and turn your shield to the left.

You unleash a stabbing attack and swing your sword halfway around.

Blood spills from Chimera's clean head.

The chimeras of the bowl fall to the ground one by one.

The corpses that were hanging around became a stumbling block for the rushing chimeras.

As the number grew, the corpses became a kind of trench for me.

As the corpses made it difficult for the chimeras to access, I was able to cut them off one by one for a little time.

If you want to attack after slowly approaching to avoid being disturbed by a corpse, I can run first.

Whether the chimeras or their commanders realized that, at some point, the chimeras stopped attacking.

“Rrrrgh!”

“Kieeek!”

I just kept screaming at him outside the street.

Are you waiting for the commander's idea?

I shouted at the chimeras, screaming endlessly.

“Ahhhh!”

[soul roars]

I laughed happily as I watched the chimeras start racing indiscriminately, ignoring the effects of the scrum collapsing.

* * *

The chimeras retreat from the mountain only after the sunset is completely over.

Seeing them retreat, they settle down roughly.

My butt is damp.

The cause was mostly chimeric blood, but not less of mine.

You open the elixir bottle with your trembling hands and drink it.

My whole body was covered in scars.

By the time the siege had begun and the number of chimeras slaughtered me had exceeded four orders of magnitude, the way the chimeras attacked had changed.

As long as I have a wide incentive to cry out for souls, the chimeric booby traps and advancements do not work.

Their response was to continue with the siege, but the gaps brought the talented together one by one.

As the chimeras were difficult to discern from their appearance, they had to face the crisis of death several times.

The elixir's effects move the reinforced leg and it rises from its place.

As you begin to walk towards the top of the mountain, the corpses lying on the ground are pushed.

Immediately, the corpses roar and fall to the bottom of the mountain.

Instead of continuing to tear down the mountains of the dead, you spread the wings of the Tallaria and begin to fly.

As a result, I may have slaughtered my enemies unilaterally, but I don't.

I pushed my limits today.

No, it was over the limit.

Several times I really almost died.

The enemy will know of my strength in battle today.

They'll come up with a new plan based on that information.

There will still be many elite chimeras left.

The number of ordinary chimeras is so large that the end is unknown.

Tomorrow's battle will surely be more dangerous.

But I saw the situation positively.

What I felt during that battle was not a lack of growth.

It was a dull sense of combat, easily coming up to the stages.

And the fighting senses were rapidly returning through a fierce thrombus.

Tomorrow's battle will certainly be more dangerous than today, but it should be able to cope well with that.

If you want, you can switch to guerrilla warfare as planned.

I was able to return to the fort feeling well.

As I was waiting for the crisis, I felt really good now that I had overcome it.

As soon as I arrived at the keep, I felt fine when one of my minions spoke to me.

“Big……. ”

“Big?”

“Work……. ”

So I waited quietly for the words of the minions.

The minions said, "This is bad. I waited patiently when I said 'Lee.'

“Now……. ”

The words of the minions: "This is a big deal. When I became 'Liza,' I learned that it meant Lizard Man Idi.

“Th……. ”

“What's wrong with Edie? What's going on……. ”

“Man……. ”

Tell me quickly, please.

“This……. ”

Oh, shit.
