Chapter 17 Laying the cornerstone (7)
Ever since Kim Yul screamed, there was a guy who was always around.
The color displayed on the map is red.
‘Monsters are black, Biharis are blue.’
And red meant the player.
I couldn’t confirm it with the naked eye, but it popped up on the map combined with my magic detection.
It was clear that they were following us behind us while hiding.
At first, I tried to catch him right away and give him mental training, but he soon changed his mind.
He could just go, or maybe there would be more people.
If it was the former, I would just send it away, and if it was the latter, I would just clean it up without leaving any remorse.
No, in fact, it may have been hopeful.
‘The humanity I know can’t be that weak.’

Just because he came to a world out of reach of the law, he wouldn’t be shallow enough to point a sword at someone as if he had waited.
It seems that even after going through the incident of Han Chang-shik, he put his hopes on humans a little.
So I hoped that the good-looking guy would go back instead of attacking us.
But as always, the reality was not a beautiful story in a fairy tale.
There are a total of 9 people who came after people, not monsters.
It was the number of guys who decided to kill the player, not the monster, in just one day after the server was connected.
My mouth was bitter, but I had no intention of letting it go unnoticed.
‘I’d rather go well.’
This is something that needs to be sorted out once and for all.
If we leave it alone, it will only hinder normal players from growing.
I devised a plan to knock them out.
– K : When signaled, jump back.
– Youkai: Are you crazy? Go to them with my feet?
– K: I don’t force it. Because the decision is theirs.
– K : But if you’re going to ignore my opinion, you can take care of the rest on your own.
– K: Don’t blame me even if you get robbed while being surrounded by them.
– Kj: What if you listen to hyung?
– K: At least I won’t let you die.
– Kj : … … when can i run?
– K: Now.
– K: Climb up on the red one in front.
I said, turning off the chat window I was using a while ago.
“You both listen well.”
Kim Yul and Ahn Gi-jun, who had risen one step ahead of me, looked back at me with stiff movements.
They and I were standing on top of a horizontal shield.
It is approximately 20 meters high. It must be similar to the 8th or 9th floor of an apartment building.
If the other person was an ordinary human, there would be no need to worry about following them this far.
‘But no.’
If you are a player, you can use the tree to jump as much as you want.
‘I feel like I’m just watching like a dog chasing chickens because I’m flustered right now.’
Might come up with a way to follow soon.
‘Let’s hurry up.’
I have no intention of letting them come upstairs.
Of course, just because they gave up on us like this, I have no intention of letting them go well.
Fortunately, there is a way to blow your nose without touching it.
It was because the evolutionary species, which had not moved around Meseo, sensed the intruder and was running at a terrifying speed.
The amount of magical power that can be read by detection is about 6,700.
‘It’s bigger than the large crocodile I caught last time.’
It wasn’t just the magic power, it seemed that the size was much bigger.
That’s why the trees in the direction he’s coming from must have swayed loudly and collapsed.
In fact, at first glance, the silhouette was comparable to that of a tolerable bus.
An unexpected thing was seen above the head of the evolutionary species that finally appeared.
From nob le mt l dot com
Just like we have symbols that mean strangers, they are wearing something.
A black star the size of a human head.
“Um, what is that… … .”
While I was observing the evolutionary species, Ahn Ki-jun asked in a trembling voice.
“Evolutionary species.”
After answering briefly, I lowered my posture and sat down on top of the horizontal shield.
Around that time, the eyes of those who were looking up at us from below moved sideways.
It recognized the approach of evolutionary species.
I was thinking of collecting information through collisions between them and evolutionary species.
To do that, we need to stop them from escaping.
First of all, I took out a sharp needle-like weapon about 15 cm long from the storage box and handed it to Kim Yul.
It was a weapon made of black wood completed a couple of hours ago.
“I’ll lend you this, so stop them if they come climbing trees.”
“uh?”
“And don’t disturb me from now on.”
Without hearing the answer from the two of them, I took a deep breath and started arranging my magic power.
It was a structure used to implement a shield, but the scale was so large that it could not be compared to the usual.
‘It is possible up to 20 meters in diameter.’
It was a scale that I could barely maintain for about a minute with my magic power.
‘Let’s make it generously.’
I made it small just to save mana, and it would be difficult if they escaped.
It took quite a long time to implement the shield, perhaps because it was larger than the ones that had been made before.
“Bounce!”
Of course it wasn’t too late.
“What is this?!”
“no!”
“Break it! Get rid of this right now!”
A dome with a diameter of 20 meters and containing an evolutionary bell.
It was the moment when the shield to block external shocks turned into a prison to confine the scapegoat inside.
The players trapped in it screamed.
Of course, the evolutionary species trapped inside also aimed at the player.
“Hook, hook.”
I concentrated on each one of my mana to maintain my shield.
In the meantime, we had to maintain the scaffolding we were standing on, so we really gritted our teeth.
Every time the evolutionary species that rushed towards the players collided with the defense wall, it seemed that the arrangement would be broken at any moment.
But it wasn’t to the point where I couldn’t stand it.
It was a level that I could barely endure if I tried my best as if I was running in a dream.
‘Certainly the finished form is harder.’
The shield made with the normal magic array that I learned about through the store is almost 5 times harder.
If I blocked the front of that evolutionary species with a shield divided into the shape and size I wanted, it would have already been broken.
However, without knowing the reason, there was no way to fix this problem.
‘There is a limit to self-study.’
It is clear that there is a limit to figuring out how to apply the magic array obtained through the store by splitting it here and there.
Shall we ask Rashar to teach us?
‘No, he’s high grade because of his divinity.’
Her magical power is not the normal magical power corresponding to nature.
Because of divine intervention, it took on a different nature.
Moreover, she is a knight, not a wizard.
If I learn anything from Rashar, it will be swordsmanship or spearmanship.
As my thoughts reached that point, the face of the wizard I knew shimmered.
‘Rather than going to him, I think I’d rather ask Rashar to introduce me to another wizard.’
I clicked my tongue briefly and brushed the orange hair I saw this morning out of my head.
“Big.”
I didn’t have time to continue thinking for a long time because of the shock I felt once again.
Gritting my teeth and lowering my gaze, I saw the scene inside the shield.
‘Already two.’
One screaming while stumbling around with a horn protruding between the Evolutionary species’ nose and forehead.
And another one who was trampled on by the evolutionary species and died cleanly.
When breaking through the siege, a total of 4 people became incapacitated or died, including the two people who were stiffened with elemental magic and confirmed killed.
Even in that situation, if you look at the fact that they don’t use elemental mana or magic, they all seem like Gamma-level players.
‘Then the remaining five will be over soon.’
I took out a potion to keep the shield a little longer.
‘Let’s dope.’
He emptied three bottles of potion in succession, but the speed at which it was consumed was faster than the speed at which it filled up.
At most, can it last for 2 or 3 minutes?
‘I think that would be enough.’
I emptied another bottle of potion and watched the massacre unfold below.
“we… … Are you still here?”
Kim Yul asked in a hard voice.
I glanced at him and asked lightly.
“then? You want to come down and help?”
Kim Yul’s fingertips trembled.
“That’s not it… … .”
It wasn’t a word, but the inside was clearly visible.
Even if he’s a bit clever, he’s a guy who’s lived within the normal category.
It can’t be fun to watch people die.
It wasn’t fun for me.
It’s just that, unlike Kim Yul, I don’t have the slightest thought of helping them or saving them.
“I’m not a homicidal maniac who kills even tough guys… … .”
I sat down on top of the shield and slowly got up and said.
“I’m not lenient enough to forgive the bastard who tried my neck.”
Those who are now dying trapped inside my shield were going to kill us and eat our magic.
I could clearly see the murderous intent shining in their eyes.
I can still smell the blood that stung my nose when they got close.
‘It wasn’t the smell of the monster’s blood.’
A sour yet stinky, chilling smell down the spine.
It was definitely the smell of human blood.
The same bloody smell as the one I smelled the day I was covered in Han Chang-shik’s blood.
If the dying people over there were people who happened to come and go from the hunting grounds, they would have gone right away to help.
I have the ability to do that, and I become a vessel enough to pass on that level of favor and consideration.
However, they are enemies who have pointed their swords at me, not people I have met by chance.
Didn’t you promise to kill Han Chang-shik?
I won’t get drunk and weak in front of those who are aiming for my neck.
It’s not that I don’t feel reluctance and reluctance toward murder.
However, I have no intention of fostering unnecessary guilt in myself.
It was a tacit agreement from the moment they sought my life.
No wonder I’m aiming for their lives.
‘It’s like we made an agreement to kill each other.’
In the process, I succeeded and they only failed.
From nob le mt l dot com
Just as they succeeded and others failed last night in the Plan Forest.
There is no evidence that they did, but I am almost certain.
‘I don’t think there will be that many guys openly doing PK in one day.’
And their deaths are what they brought on themselves.
I confirmed that there was an evolutionary species nearby and lured it in, but it was those guys who followed.
“So if you want to help those bastards, do it with your abilities. I’m not kind enough to stop you from groping.”
As soon as the line was drawn, Kim Yul did not add any more words.
Then all I could hear was the screams of dying players and the screams of evolutionary species.
Other than that, the occasional sound of trees breaking.
Of course, it was not a unilateral massacre from beginning to end.
They are also players who passed the beginner’s section.
When two more died and there were only three left, he stabbed the evolutionary species with a blade with an evil expression.
Of course, it was useless resistance.
“Hey, let’s borrow a window.”
Because I had no intention of watching their resistance silently.
So I borrowed Kim Yul’s cheap spear and threw it down as hard as I could.
The spear that flew across the air was pierced into the belly of the one who actively attracted the attention of the evolutionary species at the forefront.
When it collapsed, the other two didn’t last long either.
Soon, all the players except us were either dead or on the verge of dying and were scattered.
As a result, I emptied the new potion by removing the wide-area shield.
‘From absorption to purification to implementation, it’s crazy.’
During the battle, there are not just one or two things to be aware of.
By the time I removed my defenses, the evolutionary species’ interest reached us, alive and well.
Fortunately, I didn’t do anything to jump up.
It crashed into the wreckage of a broken tree and started sending it flying towards us.
I slashed them with my spear and measured the recovered magical power.
‘I did earn a lot thanks to the PK criminal.’
Due to the large size of the shield, a large amount was consumed.
It covers areas that do not need to be protected with a barrier.
In terms of efficiency and usability, it is better to cut it into pieces and make it where it is needed rather than making it as a finished product.
If the problem of weakening hardness can be compensated for, it can be used freely in more situations.
While sorting out some problems, I glanced around.
Ahn Ki-joon’s complexion was as pale as a sheet of paper.
‘Looks like it worked pretty well.’
The reason why I dared to lure the PK criminals all the way here and confined them to the barrier was to see that expression.
For now, things are going well in the direction I wanted.
So now you need to fill up your magic and prepare for the evolutionary raid.
I calmed down so that my body would not stiffen from the tension.
The experience of catching an evolved species was, once, quite a big injury.
‘But the hand I have is different from then and now.’
You can divide the shield and use it, and the attribute magic has also increased.
So it will be easier than before.
“From now on, it’s dangerous, so stay out.”
“… … uh?”
“The guy hit by the spear earlier didn’t seem to be dead, so keep an eye on him so he doesn’t bounce.”
When my magical power was restored to some extent, I said “Whoa” and caught my breath and jumped down.
“Kuhhh!”
The evolutionary species roared ferociously at me as I gradually approached.
Thanks to that, the sound I muttered was completely buried.
“… … right.”
As soon as I spoke my true name, the starter word of the accumulation magic tool, the magical power stored in the ring poured out.
Condensing it into the tip of the spear, unlike usual, white sparks rose.
Now, it’s time to check the power of over 2,000 elemental magic.
