FOREST EXPLORATION (2)

Aaooh!

Suddenly they heard the wolf.

'There are wolves in the forest too?'

Kang Oh tilted his head.

Looks like the wolf lives at Baramut's Hunting Ground too.

A group of wolves waded through the bushes and came out one or two at a time.

These wolves are around level 60-80 and live and hunt in groups.

Kang Oh quickly drew up a plan.

There were twenty wolves.

"There!"

Eder pointed towards the approaching wolf.

Inside the group Kang Oh sees...

"Baramulla!"

That's the boss of monsters, Baramut.

Baramut watched them from the top of the boulder, his eyes shining with a blue hue.

Kuheong!

Baramut.

The wolves barked loudly, as if they were responding to Baramut's call, and ran towards Kang Oh and Eder.

Conch, conch!

'What the fuck? A cat cooperating with a dog!?'

Now that he thought about it, the idea that cats don't fit dogs is nothing more than an old idiom.

In the end, Kang Oh and Eder are forced to face 20 wolves and Baramut itself!

They are clearly outnumbered.

"Are we going to fight?" ask Eder.

"We have to fight back-to-back! It would be more dangerous if we turned our backs on them."

Wolves are not a problem here.

If they try to escape and turn their backs on the enemy, then Baramut will attack, which will signify the end for them.

"I understand!"

Kang Oh and Eder stood their backs to each other.

He firmly gripped the hilt of his sword, while Eder raised a bone spear.

The five wolves acted as the vanguard, and raided Kang Oh and Eder as if surrounding them. 

Kurea!

The first group of wolves jumped up and lunged at Kang Oh while showing off his teeth.

Kang Oh swung his sword horizontally.

Whirr. Peock!

One of the wolves fell.

But instead, two wolves aimed at each of Kang Oh's legs.

Kang Oh moved to the left, avoiding the wolf to his right.

While doing so, he thrust his sword into the left wolf's mouth.

Peock!

The left wolf fell to the ground.

Kyaw!

The wolves continued their attack.

Kang Oh engaged the rushing wolf, while continuing to stare at Baramut.

He had no problems with ordinary wolves, but Baramut could be a problem!

He could not miss a single move.

Brackets.

Baramut, as usual, stood proudly on the rock, and stared at the fight between Kang Oh, Eder, and the wolves. His eyes continued to shine bright blue.

'When are you going to attack!?'

Kang Oh continued to swing his sword without lowering his guard.

Papa!

He sensed that Eder was fighting the wolf from behind him.

Eder used various bone magic to keep the wolf away and would kill any wolf that was too close to his bone spear.

Kang Oh swung his sword freely to push the wolf back! Whereas Eder used all sorts of bone magic to harass wolves!

The wolves are starting to diminish. Kang Oh and Eder fight a group of twenty people, but the wolves are still no match for them.

If Baramut does not join, then the wolf will surely meet its end!

However, Baramut had no intention of letting them do as they pleased. 

There is something strange about wolves too.

Their eyes were red and they were drooling excessively. 

It felt as if they were not the ones hunting; instead, they acted as if they were the ones being hunted.

'I think it's strange that a cat cooperates with a dog; Baramut controls them!'

Kang Oh knows what's going on.

The bright blue light in Baramut's eyes! It was likely that it was a skill that allowed him to control wolves.

However there are twenty wolves that need to be controlled.

It definitely required a strong concentration, which would explain why Baramut did not move in the slightest.

If that was the case, then Baramut would not have joined until all the wolves had died, or a number of them had died.

"Eder, stay alert. Baramut can attack at any time."

"okay."

He felt no need to explain that Bahamut controlled the wolves and was subsequently unable to move.

It's just a hypothesis. There was a chance he was wrong, and it could have had the opposite effect of lowering Eder's defense.

Kang Oh continuously swung his sword and slashed at more wolves. Fortunately, Eder did not lower his vigilance.

Conch, conch!

Ggeungs.

The wolf's barking and groaning seemed to fuse together.

There are only five wolves left!

That's when...!

The kuahhang!!

Baramut.

Brushes went up and down, and some birds flew up into the sky.

"That's coming!" Kang Oh yelled.

While they were surrounded by five wolves, Baramut ran towards them while maintaining the blue light in his eyes.

'As I thought.'

Kang Oh is right.

It could not move while controlling that many wolves. But once their numbers dwindled, they decided to join the fight.

'Smart bastard!'

It had reduced their HP, MP, and Stamina with wolves, and was now trying to finish them off.

Sir, sir, sir!

Every time Baramut stepped forward, his feet would kick a lump of ground.

'That's fast!'

Kang Oh puts up his vigilance, preparing himself for the baramut inbound attack.

"Stay away!"

Eder launched a barrage of bone fragments towards him, but he zigzagged as he advanced, allowing him to dodge all projectiles.

It quickly came within Kang Oh's reach and swept out like lightning with its front legs.

Boong!

His sharp claws split through the air, heading towards Kang Oh's head.

Kang Oh defended himself with his sword.

Kang!

Even though he blocked his attack, the power behind him was still transferred to his body.

Eder quickly threw Bone Bind. Bones sprout around Baramut's hind legs.

However, Baramut was no ordinary monster; it was a boss monster!

And the ruler of the forest then!

Baramut swung his hind legs, and the bones of the barrier rippled to the ground.

Kuheong!

Baramut.

With his roar, the remaining five wolves dashed towards Eder.

Eder quickly conjured up bone blades and shields and fended off their attacks. However, he could no longer bother Baramut.

Therefore, Kang Oh was forced to face Baramut one-on-one.

Of course, Kang Oh was sure he could win.

"You fucking cat!"

Although Baramut is three times larger than a normal tiger, Baramut is still basically a cat!

Kyaw!

It seemed like he understood her contempt, as his face wrinkled.

At the same time, he kicked the floor and lunged at Kang Oh. It was as if he had been struck by lightning.

Huckoo!

Baramut opened his mouth wide. His sharp teeth sparkled. If those sharp teeth sink into his skin, then he will be cut into pieces like being in a butcher's block. 

'Can't let that happen!'

Kang Oh gritted his teeth and swung down.

Cut it!

A white line etched in the air followed the trajectory of his sword. The Darkness Attack was activated simultaneously with it and the black wave swallowed its demonic sword in the form of a ferocious beast..

Combination of Slash and Darkness Strike!

The kwang!

So far, Kang Oh has been pushed back in terms of strength.

This time, he not only overcame Baramut's strength, but also rolled onto the floor several times. 

'Now!'

He immediately dashed forward and thrust his sword into the ground.

As soon as the sword touched the ground, a barrage of earth shards attacked Baramut. 

Mister!

Baramut quickly stood up and forcefully kicked the ground. It barely avoided the earth shards, only grazed by a few of them.

'I thought you'd do that!'

The earth's fragment has just become a nuisance.

He is a real threat!

Kang Oh rushed towards him and swung his sword.

"Huahp!"

His jet black blade split the air!

Kurea!

Baramut lay down, narrowly avoiding his sword with a strand of hair.

"You're not going!"

Kang Oh cut off his side.

Cut it!

A white line that seemed to split the world out! Darkness Strike is not active. Instead, his sword had made contact with his side.

Swish!

A clear wound appeared on Baramut's side.

Haha!

Baramut roared threateningly and swung his front legs.

So far, it was his fastest attack.

'Head!'

Kang Oh felt a chill from above his head, so he tilted his upper body backwards.

The mongoose!

Baramut rented the area he once occupied. It was truly a vicious attack!

Yet...

'It doesn't matter if I don't get hit.'

As soon as he dodged his front leg, he counterattacked.

Swish, swish, swish!

His pitch-black sword slash filled the air. He was aiming for the wound on his side!

A kuhang!

Baramut did not back down. With his incredible agility, which did not match his large body, he dodged Kang Oh's attack and counterattacked with his claws and teeth.

"Dead!" 

Kang Oh yelled.

A kuhang!

Baramut.

They exchanged blows several times. However, it is not easy to determine the winner. They are truly equal! They are truly equal to each other!

But Baramut was the first to give an inch.

Kurea.

It flipped its body so that the wound on its side was nowhere to be seen and glared at Kang Oh.

"Haaa, huh."

Kang Oh took a breath. He did not have much Stamina left, so he did not directly attack Baramut.

'Hmm.'

Kang Oh glanced at Eder.

Eder had already defeated two wolves, so there were only three left.

'I must keep him busy until Eder is free. If we fight together, then we can definitely take him down.'

Kang Oh adjusted his grip.

Baramut is a clever tiger. It is well known that time is not on his side.

Kureu.

It let out a low growl and a blue light disappeared from its eyes.

At the same time, he turned around completely and disappeared into the leaves.

"Stop right there!" Kang Oh quickly shouted.

But why did it remain silent just because he said so?

In the end, Baramut returned to the depths of the forest and disappeared completely.

Keoheong, conch, conch!

Simultaneously, Baramut's control over the wolves was broken, and the two wolves that had just come out alive began to flee as well.

"Where do you think you're going !?"

Eder stabbed one of the fleeing wolves with his bone spear.

Kang Oh kills the last remaining wolf, finally feeding his sword a chicken rather than a pheasant.

"Good work, Mr. Kang Oh."

Eder.

"You too."

"Here."

Eder gave him the collected trash.

"M."

Kang Oh put all the junk he had collected so far, as well as the one Eder had given him to the ground. 

He stretched out his demonic sword over the trash and activated his Predator ability. Then, darkness flowed out from his blade and exhausted the junkyard.

[Ubist has consumed Wasp's Poison Stinger. Satisfaction has increased by 0.06%.]

[Ubist has consumed Rattlesnake's Rattle. Satisfaction has increased by 0.1%.]

[Ubist has consumed Wolf Teeth. Satisfaction has increased by 0.12%.]

As he fed his demonic sword, Eder asked, "Baramut continued to flee. What are you gonna do?"

"We have to finish it off in his lair, so he has nowhere to run."

That was the main reason they roamed around the forest from the very beginning. To find Baramut's nest.

"Then... Next time we meet, I'll try to curse him."

"A curse?"

"Yes. It's called the stalker's curse and it lets us ascertain its location."

"You can do it early."

"I haven't thought about it until now."

Eder scratched his head.

"good. Next time we meet, use the stalker's curse on Baramut."

"okay."

Kang Oh and Eder begin their journey through the forest once again. Baramut did not appear for a long time.

And...

The night has come.
