The Tutorial Is Too Hard

Before going into battle, Italtar's eyes turn red.

Her Strength stats and cuffs rise dramatically while she's down.

Boom!

The floor is cut with a spear, and a smudge is carved into the floor.

Let's avoid a power struggle if we get distracted.

That condition was thought to be a technique only available when her emotions exploded, but now it appears to be available as a free material.

“Glug, here we go! ”

Italtar steps forward with a duel.

An orthodox stab came in using the superior length of the spear.

I hurriedly leaned down and avoided the tip of the spear that was swaying towards my neck.

The order rests on the back of your right hand, closing the gap between the chloro windows.

The palanquin passes by with a shout to the side of his ear.

The flames rose with the noise where the error and spear touched.

Italtar takes a step back and retrieves the spear.

In the meantime, I've been constantly repelling it with my tail and spear.

Kang! Kang!

My error and her spear collided in succession.

Italtar knows that I'm aiming for a loophole, and has been fending off small skills rather than large attacks.

Nevertheless, due to the force gap, I had to concentrate on launching her attacks as far as possible.

“7x more power! ”

“Don't talk to me like that in a fight! ”

I saw a gap in Itdaltar's words that made me chant my hair.

“Chance!”

Edie's spear and tail fly simultaneously.

On either side of the path, the body was difficult to avoid.

It looked like a crisis of incision, but it wasn't.

Lizard Man holds the center of gravity with a thick tail.

The paw with a prone shape to operate on the water's edge was not suitable for bilateral ambulation.

Thus, the tail attack was possible after either moving the axis of gravity completely or leaning down to secure a low center.

Instead of dodging her attacks, she gets closer and closer.

You punch out the chloro spear to stop it.

You attacked Italtar's torso instead of giving up the defenses of the tail attack.

The moment Oregon dug up her abdomen.

Her body disappears from the black smoke.

Without any embarrassment, I felt a powerful force beyond the smoke.

Boom!

You close the blast through the smoke.

During the defense, the user deliberately rises up and takes a step back using shock.

“Glug.”

Phew.

You scared me.

“It was a splenic blow. Glug. I didn't think it would hold. ”

I stopped it on my own.

What kind of technology is that?

It's not self-immolation, it's not hallucination.

Suddenly, he turned his body into smoke and immediately appeared in the back seat.

I couldn't understand the principle.

Her skill was simply to turn her body into smoke and avoid enemy attacks.

Moreover, it was a technique that was exposed defenselessly to the enemy's next attack due to its inability to move during the time it turned into smoke.

It wasn't that kind of ninja decoy skill.

“Glug. Shall we continue? ”

“Good.”

I was mixed with other skills I was aware of, but the battle was not discouraged.

Rather, I was delighted because I doubled my tension.

* * *

The battle returned to my advantage over time.

It was natural.

I know her, even if she uses a technology I didn't know, and now my body isn't perfect.

Her strength, her speed, her skills, her judgment of the situation.

I know everything.

So losing was even weirder.

Boom!

Italtar swings his spear to block my attack.

Instead of being pushed, you turn your spear to try the next attack.

A flying spear holds a black energy.

It was the timing I was expecting.

The Black Spear cuts through the Avon Void.

In the meantime, I was able to get inside Italtar's gap and stab the error into her heart.

I anticipated and painted the progress of the battle from before the battle.

And I managed to get the situation out exactly as I expected it to.

It was a result of my design and without a single dental error.

“Glug.”

Italtar slumps to his knees until the end.

Unlike me, who was a little vain, she seemed quite satisfied.

I opened my mouth hoping she wouldn't be able to read my thoughts.

“Excellent.”

Italtar smiles at my words and raises his thumb.

And the next moment, I quietly saved myself.

Beyond satisfaction, I forgot to say something for a moment in the glimpse of death.

I wondered if I could do that when I died.

I didn't think I could do that.

It was already her third dead body.

What was different was that the body wouldn't disappear even after she died.

You settle down beside her corpse, left lying on the floor.

I was not shocked by her third death.

I gave her what she wanted the most.

After a fierce battle with the strongest, they are defeated and honored at the last moment by the strongest and honorable death.

Of course, the battle was rather one-sided, but in her view it would have been considered a very close and fierce battle.

An ideal death for any Lizard Man.

And so will Italtar.

Of course, this death does not mean her complete death.

I can't even remember.

Maybe it's a non-existent event.

But Italtar must have had enough satisfaction before he just died.

At least I will be able to chat until my stay is over, then I will be much more satisfied than having my memory reset without doing anything.

Especially since in combat, and just before death, she had a sense of being alive.

I thought about it alone, and I made my own decision.

I was sure she would prefer this.

I was also very different from her, so I could empathize and understand.

But her third death may have been a satisfactory outcome for her, but not for me at all.

I sat by her corpse and waited until the time I got to the sixth floor, and there was only one thing I realized.

The longing for power is growing every day.

* * *

[24th, 5th, 9: 55]

I checked the time and got up from my seat.

I sat in one spot for more than 10 hours, and my joints squeaked.

It was in a dense, quiet forest.

It was an unsuitable environment

As soon as I entered the 12th floor, I started practicing my magic skills.

Before moving to the 13th floor, I wanted to keep my magic as sharp as possible.

Levels and basic stats were somewhat populated in party play stages prior to the 12th floor.

When I first started training, I thought the monsters in the forest would be annoying, but they weren't.

Maybe it's because of my magical powers, there's not a single bug cub around here.

Thanks to you, I can hear nothing but the sound of my breath and the sound of the wind in this dense forest.

I wish I could hear the sound of weevils, but I felt bad.

“Status window.”

[Hojae Lee (Human)]

Lv.8

Power: 16

Agility: 14

Health: 19

Magic Power: 34

Skill: Combat Focus Lv.30 Willing Lv.7 Awakening Lv.7 Charging Lv.4 Stealth Lv.19 Hypersensitivity Lv.1 Sense Amplification Lv.20 Metal Wall Lv.2 Natural Healing Lv.5 Super-renewal Lv.5 Intermediate Slash Lv.10 Intermediate Weapon Skill Lv.10 Intermediate Throttling Lv.1 Intermediate Barnacle Lv.14 Magic Circuit Lv.21 Pain Resistance Lv.9 Bleed Resistance Lv.3 Marble Lv.4 Curse Resistance Lv.1 vs Magic Resistance Lv.1

It was unbelievable that Status had grown in just three days.

There are still many drawbacks, but this has achieved the desired amount of growth.

At that level of timing, it was the only regret that I failed to acquire a new skill that I had not previously acquired.

As I looked around the status window, I was checking my growth, and my body moved to a new space.

It was a dark stone chamber contrasted with the dense forest that was just there.

13th floor stage.

A little further, the tree door appeared.

Next to the tree door, there was a number 0.

This stone chamber where I am means room 0.

After opening the tree door and passing through the corridor, a tree door with the number 1 appeared.

I went into room one.

“Welcome. ”

In room 1, a monk of over two metres sits on a crown.

“It's been a long time since I've been challenged. What do you seek here? ”

The comment is quite gentle.

When I was on the 13th floor, I was talking about arrogant humans.

The stage's setting itself was to triumph over the monks who were enraged by arrogant remarks and control their intentions.

But now that there is no such setting, it seems to have a gentle attitude.

“A clue for growth is enough. ”

“Wherever it's easy to get it. It may take you a few more years to get a little clue. Even if you find a clue, you won't even know if you found it. ”

“It's about ordinary people, and I just need a little clue. ”

For example, the state power that is filling room 1.

I can feel the power of the state sitting in room 33 from here.

Surprisingly, it was not magical.

It wasn't even divine.

Then, what is the identity of the power that fills this space?

If you find this out, you will see that you have gained enough on stage here on the 13th floor.

“Haha, a challenger with a lot of confidence. With that kind of confidence, you could achieve that, too. ”

This monk is a loose monk.

Monks generally prefer a confident and motivated look.

And it's okay to be a little more comfortable and take it lightly because you don't care about other people's attitudes or speech.

“So, anyway, ”

“Hmm? What? ”

“I'm running out of time, but is there any way to get to room 33 as soon as possible? ”

The monk laughed at my words.

“There's only one way to get to the next room. Uh-huh.”

It means no, damn it.

“Can't I really just get through this? ”

“I can't. You must pass the trials before you can let them go. Uh-huh.”

The stage on the 13th floor is pretty long.

When we raided this place before, we raided it for days.

Especially since room 15, it clearly surpasses the difficulty of the 13th floor stage.

After that, the rooms cannot be guaranteed how long it will take to pass through one by one.

I only have 13 hours to stay here on stage on the 13th floor.

Until then, I couldn't be sure that I had enough time to meet the Lord and get a meaningful clue from him.

“Oh, can you just let me go? ”

“I can't. Uh-huh.”

The monk's carefree smile was now childish.

This is a bad thing to say.

That monk's thick face is making a funny face.

You may want to slow down the battle in a way that will slow you down as long as possible.

“Uh-huh.”

I saw that I had no intention of making way for the monk.

I will break through as soon as possible for this.

You step down and rush towards the monk.

My fist and the monk's fist were crossed.
