CH 72
"What if we start?"
Shadow Soldiers appeared behind Jin Woo's back..
His army consisted of infantry, Mage, Beast and two knights.
In front of them, there's Jin Woo.
The two knights stepped forward and lowered their heads at Jin Woo's side.
Ygritte to his right, Iron to his left.
Seeing the couple, Jin Woo smiled proudly.
"They're a bit reliable"
Even if it was his Skill, they felt like comrades were protecting his back.
It gives Jin Woo a sense of security.
However,
'Facing that directly, that's a little ...'
Dangerous.
Especially because of the giant wooden stick that Volkhan was holding.
"It's incredible that there's a tree big enough to make that thing"
Taking into account Volkhan's giant body and the size of his wooden stick, one sweep
it will wipe out his entire army.
"Yes, it's all right."
The problem was the limited amount of mana he had to regenerate
whole army.
Jin Woo knows where it will fall to zero if he foolishly runs towards it
The demon just like that.
There's only one option left, though,
"The bottle is mine"
His army will take care of the hordes of trash around Volkhan, while Jin Woo
will fight the giant Demon himself.
He felt that it was the best way for this fight.
"I just have to not get hit by it"
Unlike his soldiers, Jin Woo is convinced of his ability to evade Volkhan's attacks.
Jin Woo orders Shadow's mage to shoot the opening shot.
‘Distance attacks will take the attention of the horde of garbage.When the flies are
looking slow it left him alone, I will fight one on one’
That's a straight forward tactic.
'Now'
When he gave the signal, a fireball came out from the hands of the Shadow Mages.
wooosh
wooooooosh
A BANG!
The fireball exploded near the cluster around Volkhan and marked the start of the battle.
ring ~!
[‘Overlord of the Lower Floors,Volkhan of Avarice’ has noticed an intruder!]
[Volkhan's bodyguards have noticed ..]
[Volkhan's bodyguards have noticed ..]
ring,ring,ring!
Tones of warning came one after another repeatedly.
With that warning, Volkhan and his bodyguards turned their eyes towards Jin Woo.
'okay…'
They attract the attention of the enemy.
Jin Woo activates 'Stealth'; his plan is to flank the hordes of trash and
go to Volkhan.
shooo
Everything is as planned.
... Or so he thought.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!
‘... !!!’
Contrary to Jin Woo's expectations, Volkhan was the first to run
the Shadow Army.
If not for the fact that they would have engaged in a difficult battle, it would have been
it's a funny sight.
Instead of running slow, the giant demon ran at full speed towards them,
almost like,
'What what?! What's with the movement ?! It's like someone pressing a quick button
on the video player! '
Indeed, Volkhan had reached them in the blink of an eye!
Leaving his guard, the giant Demon stopped in front of Shadow's Soldiers.
"I'm wrong!"
Jin Woo's eyes were wide open.
The mountain-like Demon body showed speed that betrayed all logic.
"Mm!"
Volkhan raised his wand and lowered it.
As the staff fell towards the exposed Shadow Mages, Iron appeared out of nowhere
and raised his pitch-black shield to block.
A SMASH!
CRACK IT!
It was a valiant effort ... While the giant knight managed to block
that attack, two of Iron's arms were completely destroyed.
The Shadow Soldier with the highest defense was considered useless after a single attack.
thud
The broken piece of Iron's two arms fell to the ground.
"mm? Mm? ”
As if disappointed with his last attack, Volkhan tilted his head and
squinted his eyes at his stick.
Well, the Demon's confusion only lasted for a split second.
The wooden stick was dropped once again.
"Mm!"
CRACK IT!
With no way to hold on anymore, Iron and the Shadow Mage behind him were destroyed
no match.
snap
Watching this scene, there was something jolting inside Jin Woo.
"You fuck ..."
Jin Woo bit his lower lip.
His body moved before his mind could give out orders.
jump up!
Before he realized, Jin Woo was already in the air, flying towards Volkhan.
Targets clear.
Compared to his mountain-like body, the Demon's head was smaller.
Jin Woo turned his hips in the air, pulling his right arm back.
The muscles in Jin Woo's right arm and shoulder are flexed.
As he focused every ounce of his strength into his fist, 'Stealth' was released.
"mm?"
Volkhan realizes Jin Woo is late.
Jin Woo will not miss this opportunity.
WOOSH!
The man's fist shot out like a bullet to the side of Volkhan's face.
BAM!
The body of the giant Demon was thrown backwards.
The demon rolled on the ground for quite some time, and finally stopped when it crashed
a building with only a frame left.
Drop that!
What was left of the building collapsed when a giant Demon crashed into it.
steppe
Jin Woo nimbly landed on the ground but was shocked.
"Why has he flown so far?"
He stared at his fists in disbelief.
There were no scratches on the fist that flew the giant Demon.
Then he realized it,
‘Oh true ..’
Jin Woo looked up.
The stat screen appears above it.
Statisticians
Strength: 150
Constituency: 109
Agility: 139
Intelligence: 109
Sense: 111
(Available stat points: 0)
Physical Damage Reduction: 46%
'...I forgot.'
Because he had mostly received the Assassin Class Skill and obtained the Mage Class
as his Class, Jin Woo forgot about something:
[Strength: 150]
‘...’
Although he had invested every single point into Intelligence lately, it was,
his strength was still nearly 50% higher than intelligence.
"I really invested some stupid points into it, huh."
Moreover, he had explosively raised his level in the past few days.
Looking at the statistics, he could feel its growth.
And the result of that growth is that.
Jin Woo looks at Volkhan's body in the ruins of the building in disbelief.
It was hard to see as he fought against Demon Low and Mid-Level.
But using his power against a boss-level monster gave him reassurance,
"I ... be strong"
clenches
Strength filled Jin Woo's fist and spread throughout his body.
Suddenly, a familiar electronic tone sounded,
ring ~
'What is that?'
Jin Woo raised his head.
"mm? Mm? ”
"Does this warn me if the monster is trying to wake up?"
Has the system ever been this friendly before?
With his head tilted, Jin Woo realized the true meaning of the System alert tone.
[The Overlord of the Lower Floors, Volkhan of Avarice has used ‘Rage’]
'Huh?'
ring,ring,ring
The warning continues.
['Rage' will permanently enter a state of rage]
[All attributes of Volkhan increased by 50%]
[Volkhan does not feel pain]
"The skill ...?"
Even before Jin Woo could remember about Cerberus, Volkhan stared at him with a glance
blood red eyes.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!
The ground trembled with each deafening footstep.
Jin Woo glanced back at a glance; Shadow Troops and Volkhan's henchmen inside
fierce battle.
"Guooooo!"
"Kiek!"
In the midst of a chaotic battle, Jin Woo finds Iron.
As proof of Volkhan's destructive power, the giant knight was still in the midst of regeneration.
"Iron!"
Jin Woo shouted.
His knight immediately understood his master's orders.
Iron threw his shield with power towards Jin Woo.
Jin Woo quickly grabbed her from the air.
When he turned his gaze forward again, Volkhan was already in front of him.
"If I dodge, my army will be beaten."
It is impossible to take down Volkhan and his minions without his army.
So, Jin Woo chose the best method to protect his soldiers.
He raised his shield and focused his strength onto his arm.
"Mm!"
Volkhan's wand fell.
A BANG!
A BANG!
A BANG!
A brutal attack that makes the earth cry mercilessly attacks Jin Woo, but
Jin Woo held her back.
It was only possible due to the high statistic of physical and constitutional damage reduction.
"mm? Mm? ”
Angry that his attack was ineffective, Volkhan started swinging his staff furiously.
A BANG! A BANG! A BANG! A BANG!
However, Jin Woo's knees are not limp.
'Just 'Stay…'
Just blocking like this would never defeat that giant.
Jin Woo's eyebrows are shrinking.
Unlike Cerberus, the 'Rage' belonged to Volkhan, though it was less effective than his dog,
there is no time limit.
He couldn't wait until time was up like last time.
A BANG! A BANG!
Jin Woo gritted his teeth.
"After all it's not my style to be a Tanker ..."
A BANG!
As Volkhan's wand is pulled back for the next blow, Jin Woo jumps in the direction
the Demon Head again.
However, Jin Woo is not the only one who sees the opportunity.
"Mm!"
While arranging his movements, Volkhan retreated as Jin Woo flew towards him.
'What?'
Jin Woo looked at the stick that was swinging towards him horizontally.
'...He set me up'
If he was on the ground, it would be a different story.
But there was no way to escape in the air.
Even if it was withheld, he would still bump into something.
wooooooooosh!
In a world of slow time, Jin Woo sees a cane walking towards him
with slow movement.
"Is there anything I can do ?!"
If only he could move his body somehow.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind,
"If I could just move my body?"
There is no time to think.
Jin Woo quickly uses 'Ruler's Hand' to try and push Volkhan.
"mm?"
Of course, moving that gigantic body with his current level of proficiency was impossible.
However, the rebound force pushes Jin Woo's body back.
woooosh!
The end of the stick flashed before his eyes.
"Thank you, Newton ahjussi!"
Due to erratic movements, Jin Woo loses his balance and rolls around
briefly, but that was nothing compared to the damage he would receive if
he was hit by the attack.
"Flame-!"
Jin Woo calmed himself and sighed in relief.
"mm?"
On the other hand, Volkhan's face shriveled in anger.
The loss of the planned attack made every inch of his body tremble in fury.
"Mi, Mm!"
Seeing the reddened Demon's face, Jin Woo scratched the side of his head.
'Now what?'
He only displayed the ability to dodge when he jumped on his head.
Moreover, it doesn't feel like Jin Woo can do a lot of damage throughout
his body remembers his size.
"Is there anything I can avoid?"
Jin Woo thought of an idea.
The corner of his mouth went up.
Jin Woo turned around and ran.
Thinking Jin Woo is trying to escape, Volkhan quickly chases after him.
BOOM BOOM BOOM!
Jin Woo controls his steps so Volkhan can follow right behind him.
His eyes sparkled when he found a suitable building.
"It should work."
Meanwhile, the,
"M!"
As the distance between Volkhan and Jin Woo closed, Demon swung his wand.
The existence of these insects!
The chance to destroy this distraction is here.
A disgusting smile appeared on Volkhan's face.
But when his staff fell to the ground, the insect suddenly darted and ran to the ground
the side of the building collapsed.
"mm?"
Something felt strange, but it was too late to slow down.
"M,mm?"
The insects in the building reached as high as the eyes of the Demon, then kicked the building with
with all my might.
CRACK IT!
The wall he kicked cracked like a spider web, and something flew towards
volkhan's face was faster than he could react.
It's insects.
"Mm!"
Volkhan's eyes widened.
Jin Woo looked into her eyes with a smile.
Holding Tanto in his right hand, Jin Woo cut off the bulging artery in the devil's neck.
A slash!
In accordance with his large body, blood spilled like a fountain from his wound.
splashy!
"mm? Mm! ”
Volkhan threw out his wand and quickly covered the wound.
"Mm!"
However, it is not enough to stop the bleeding.
The eyes of the giant Demon started to tremble.
"M-mm?"
Jin Woo had already climbed up behind him and used two daggers to stab the Demon's neck.
"Is it not enough?"
With his head tilted, Jin Woo used the skill again.
‘Vital Stab!’
The two daggers dug up Volkhan's neck again.
stab!
stab!
And finally, the message of victory appeared.
