Chapter 88: 88

Hyeonu traveled through the Hejin Mountains faster than usual .  Among the players hunting in the Hejin Mountains, there was even a rumor that there was a crazy NPC giving quests .  The reason why Hyeonu was busy moving about wasn"t particularly special .  He was doing so due to the patch information that was released .  Hyeonu had to finish the quest quickly and level up using that experience . He also wanted to do another dungeon .

[Monster Wave]

[A monster wave hits Latus Fortress like an annual event . Find out the reason .

Rating: B+

Conditions: Cause of the monster wave 0/1

Rewards: Experience, imperial contribution, the emperor"s gift . ] 

The rewards consisted of experience, contribution, and an item .  It was like clearing two birds with one stone when the new patch was released .  The only problem was . . .

“How am I supposed to finish it?!!”

He just didn"t know how to clear it .  There was no NPC to visit at Latus Fortress . Aside from the store NPCs, the only NPC was Herard .  Moreover, Hyeonu had no one he could ask about this .  There wasn"t a single person on his friends list that he could ask .

“I was going to ask Brother Junggu the other day . . . ”

Hyeonu had a strong feeling that New World had been built entirely by Gang Junggu .  It was clear that Kim Seokjung was just a guild leader and didn"t know much about the guild .  Hyeonu"s thoughts were terribly accurate .  Kim Seokjung had the style of an a.s.sault captain and had no concern for internal affairs .  It was Gang Junggu who suffered because of it .

“I think it is information that the miners would find . . . ”

Hyeonu smacked his lips with disappointment .  The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was a pity .  However, Hyeonu didn"t want to visit now since it was clear Kim Seokjung would ask about joining the guild .

"I don"t need a guild right now . . . I just don"t know if I can get a castle . "

Hyeonu was struggling with his thoughts when a monster appeared in front of him .

“What? Is there a monster that looks like this?”

Hyeonu was confident that he had traveled the most among the ranked players currently hunting in the Hejin Mountains .  No guild refused to allow Hyeonu into their hunting grounds .  For the big guilds, Alley Leader was a dilemma .  He was obviously an eyesore, but he was also a burden to touch .  In any case, Alley Leader was a solo player . The number of monsters he could kill was limited, so he wasn"t too much of a nuisance to them .

Due to this reason, Hyeonu could move through the Hejin Mountains without any restraints .  Nevertheless, he had never seen a monster like this before .  The monster"s appearance was similar to an ogre"s . He was close to six meters tall, and his body was full of muscles .  If there was a difference, it was that his entire body was covered in black tattoos .  He held a well-made iron club and wore a chest piece that protected his vital points .

“Just by looking at him, he feels very strong . . . The feeling he gives off is similar to Crasul . ”

Hyeonu couldn"t think anymore .  He quickly summoned Tang-E and prepared for battle .

“Tang-E, we have to hunt this guy . Doesn"t he look strong? You have to be really careful . ”

Despite giving a warning to Tang-E, Hyeonu was smiling .  He was thinking about taking a video of the ogre hunting and posting it on the Alley Leader channel .

"The minimum number of views would be 50 million . "

Alley Leader was always alone .  Even so, he was perfect .  It would be the same again .  Hyeonu approached the tattooed ogre with such a mindset .

Hyeonu quickly approached the tattooed ogre .  If possible, he wanted to deal one big blow before the start .  However, this was just Hyeonu"s wish .  The tattooed ogre felt like a boss monster, and his stats were great .  He sensed Hyeonu before the first blow was even dealt and acted first .  The tattooed ogre swung his club, and the air burst .

The club used this momentum to fly toward Hyeonu, only to miss and hit the ground .  A hole appeared in the ground, showing the power contained in the club .  It was like a bomb .

"One blow will cause me to be stunned, and two blows will kill me!" Hyeonu made an estimate after seeing the ogre"s strike .

He would die immediately unless he had a CC machine, full skills, items, or a priest .  From that moment on, Hyeonu"s body started to rattle .  It was like riding something that excited the body .  This was a feeling that Hyeonu had hoped for .  It was the feeling of standing on a cliff .  Even at this moment, the tattooed ogre didn"t stop swinging his club .

However, Hyeonu didn"t respond to this attack .  One of the set options of the Great Gorge Wind set was to use Blink .  He immediately teleported behind the tattooed ogre .  There was a black spear in Hyeonu"s hand .  It was the Cursed Spear .  This was the rare magic that reduced the target"s health by 1% per second .

Hyeonu inserted the Cursed Spear deep into the tattooed ogre"s calf .  However, a message that was slightly different from Hyeonu"s desired message appeared .

[The weapon ogre is contaminated with black magic . The effect of Cursed Spear is halved . ]

[The damage dealt per second is halved . ]

“What?!!!” Hyeonu screamed unknowingly .  He was fl.u.s.tered .  The skill only had half the effect .

"Is this a rare grade?"

However, there was no time for Hyeonu to be discouraged .  The enraged weapon ogre was moving around .

“I can hunt him even without this . ”

Hyeonu felt his entire body heat up even more .  Now that the Cursed Spear"s effect had been halved, the only thing to believe in was his ability .  The more he was pushed to the extreme, the more he felt uplifted .  Hyeonu once again used Blink .  This time, he stabbed his half-sword at the location where he had stabbed the Cursed Spear .

Sword energy was produced at the moment of the stab .  The light blue sword energy directly pierced the wound of the weapon ogre .

[The weapon ogre has received the abnormal condition "bleeding . "]

Blood burst out like a fountain from the weapon ogre"s Achilles" tendon .

“Kuah!” The ogre"s screams shook the mountains .

[You have heard the weapon ogre"s Fear . ]

[The influence of fighting energy allows you to ignore the Fear of the weapon ogre . ]

"The scream causes Fear!!"

Hyeonu was dumbfounded by the absurd situation .  The screams of pain played the role of Fear .  Hyeonu had no answer as to why this was happening .  If it wasn"t for fighting energy, he might"ve been logged out with this blow .

“Was it created to hunt this?” Hyeonu mumbled and moved again .  If he stopped for more than a certain amount of time, the giant steel club would unfailingly head toward him .

“Tang-E!” Hyeonu yelled loudly, although it wasn"t as powerful as the weapon ogre"s Fear .

The moment Hyeonu"s yelling ended, all sorts of magic flew toward the weapon ogre .  A lightning bolt fell the clear cloudless sky, and the weapon ogre"s body caught on fire .  Three ice spears flew toward the weapon ogre"s face .  Tang-E"s magic baptism all struck the weapon ogre .  However, the weapon ogre didn"t seem to be shocked .

"He has a bit of magic resistance . "

Still, Hyeonu wasn"t discouraged .  If the ogre continued to be hit by Tang-E"s magic, then he would have to be conscious of Tang-E"s magic .  Hyeonu had to aim for that gap .  He smiled broadly .  This hunt was much more interesting than hunting Crasul .

If anyone had seen Hyeonu"s battle, then they would"ve said, “Crazy . ”

“I can"t believe it . ”

“Am I truly seeing the movements of a human?”

Arena might be a virtual reality game, but not everyone could move like Hyeonu .  Even if they had a body that was faster than possible in reality, so too did their opponents—the monsters .  Monsters also had a different way of movement compared to what was possible in reality .  No matter how good the tool, it was still humans controlling them .

Eventually, the important thing was the player"s individual skills .  In that sense, Hyeonu was the best .  His avatar in Arena moved perfectly .  The weapon ogre"s club failed to hit Hyeonu again .  Instead, he was hurt by Hyeonu"s sword energy .  Still, it wasn"t a big wound when the health of the weapon ogre was considered .  

“Kuaaah!” The weapon ogre roared with anger .

He had continuously failed in his attacks while gaining wounds steadily .  It was natural for the weapon ogre to be furious .

"It is time for "that" to come out . . . "

Hyeonu was waiting for the rage to turn into Berserk .  No matter who looked at it, the weapon ogre was a boss monster .  The evidence was that the weapon ogre could use Fear .  If so, it was likely that he also had Berserk .  This pattern was the basics of a boss monster .  Other players were reluctant to face the Berserk pattern, but Hyeonu was different .  Rather, he liked it .

"Regardless of whether he is in the Beserk state, one blow will still cause my death . So what"s the difference?"

“I just have to not get hit . ”

At this moment, black energy was emitted from the tattoos of the weapon ogre .  It was the running wild of magic power .  This was Berserk .

"I will go full power as well . "

Hyeonu saw the Berserk state and finally used his giant skills .

[Giant"s Power has been used . ]

[Your strength stat has increased . ]

[Giant"s Nature has been used . ]

[Your strength stat has increased . ]

Hyeonu ran toward the weapon ogre and called out to Tang-E, “Tang-E! Fear!”

Tang-E"s Roar skill caused the fear effect .  It had the effect of reducing attack and defense by 12% .  Meanwhile, Tang-E"s damage increased by 24% .  In the Berserk state, Tang-E"s magic wasn"t fatal, but it was enough to gnaw at the weapon ogre"s health .

“Kuaaaah!” Tang-E roared loudly .

The moment when the giant buffs overlapped with Tang-E"s roar, Hyeonu"s attack power showed a different power than before .

If his previous attacks had been a needle, his current stab was like a giant spear .  Hyeonu aimed a giant sword energy at the weapon ogre .  It was an attack that would"ve bounced off lightly just a few minutes ago .  However, despite his Berserk state, the weapon ogre was pushed back .  Hyeonu"s attack was barely blocked .

"I can use Blink two more times . Cursed Spear"s cooldown is now over . "

“His remaining health is around 40% . ”

Most boss monsters used Berserk when they had 40% health left .

“Five minutes are enough . ”

The weapon ogre rushed toward Hyeonu .  As he approached, the weapon ogre slammed the steel club against the ground .  Hyeonu saw this and threw his body into the air .  The earth split apart, and rocks shattered .  It was a heavy blow .  If his feet had been on the ground, he might"ve been stunned and then died .

Hyeonu disappeared as he floated in the air .  Then the missing Hyeonu appeared on the shoulder of the weapon ogre .  He used his remaining two Blinks .  Hyeonu didn"t hesitate to stab his sword into the shoulder of the weapon ogre .  Then he jumped up, holding the half-sword tightly with both hands .  Hyeonu landed safely on the ground .

After that, there was a loud roar .  The weapon ogre"s arm was cut off from his shoulder .

[The weapon ogre has received the abnormal condition "bleeding . "]

Crasul"s curse inflicted the bleeding state .  Blood flowed from the weapon ogre"s smooth, cross-sectional wound .

“Kuaaah!”

Then the Cursed Spear pierced the vocal cords of the screaming weapon ogre .  Now that he couldn"t even scream properly, the weapon ogre collapsed with a pained moan .

“Monster, become an item . ” Hyeonu fired the final blow toward the fallen weapon ogre .
