I Regressed, But the World Isn’t Destroyed - Chapter 9
Only Noblemtl
009.
“Ship, a million won!”
-tttt
-Big hand appears
-But you want me to break it with just a hatchet? Not only Brutes, but even bosses?
-Okay… Isn’t this too much?
The chat window became noisy.
Of course, most viewers find it amusing to watch broadcasters struggling to complete difficult missions, but there has to be a limit to that, right?
If you throw in a completely impossible mission to complete, the viewers who watch it will become more tired.
But it’s not another melee weapon, it’s a hand axe.
Even if you were to pick up an axe, the reach you would gain would only be about the size of an adult male’s forearm.
Telling me to clear all of [It Kills To] with that short axe was basically telling me not to clear it, given the nature of [It Kills To], which features not only humanoid creatures but also various monsters.
-This is a bit;;
-If you wake up a little more, you’ll get a crowbar. Let’s change it.
-Ah haha if it’s a crowbar it’s doable
-Go○ P○man Meta ㄱㄱ
That’s why this kind of reaction was coming out in both Black Oak and Gianchu’s chat windows.
“What? Are you asking me to do something impossible just because I heard you have clumsy hands? Hmm… Did you notice?”
-Right on the mark ㄷㄷ
-Kkojang ON
-Evaim with bare hands, even with only melee weapons
Of course, Black Orc didn’t really intend to clear the mission using only a hand axe.
‘No matter what, it’s like that.’
Clear it with just one hatchet.
It was my mission, but I thought it was ridiculous.
Even if Lee Do-hyeok could freely handle the hatchet as seen in the play we saw earlier, it was a whole other level of story to defeat all the bosses in [It Kills To] with just that one.
‘The hatchet was a bit harsh.’
As someone suggested in the chat window, wouldn’t it be perfect if it were limited to melee weapons?
Then you could use a crowbar.
The crowbar is a pretty iconic weapon in the gaming industry, thanks to someone wielding it and destroying all sorts of aliens.
[It Kills To] was also a melee weapon with the second most useful performance after the chainsaw.
‘If that person has the physique, I think he could clear it with a crowbar…?’
It may take some time, but it’s not entirely impossible.
Besides, if that were the case, the picture could have come out pretty well.
Wouldn’t it be possible to get a lot of views on iTube by putting a title like [Korean ○den Free○’s Appearance?!]?
“Hey. Everyone, calm down. I have a conscience too. Would I risk my mission for something like that?”
Blackwork tried to calm the viewers down by saying that and tried to give them another mission.
It was that very moment.
[-Is it an axe mission? I’ll try it.]
Lee Do-hyeok said that and accepted the mission.
No, beyond that···
[Oh, I pressed it twice without knowing.]
Lee Do-hyeok not only accepted the mission, but also pressed the success button.
Tiring-
[Mission Success!]
[Black Oak donated 1,000,000 won!]
The mission success notification sound rang and 1 million won was broadcasted.
“···Huh?”
-Ugh lol
-What the heck lol
– Are you eating this?
A bewildered Black Orc and his room viewers.
[-Oh, brother!]
[Ah… mistake.]
Gian was also surprised.
[Well, it’s okay if the mission is successful, right?]
Lee Do-hyuk said that without paying attention to such reactions and picked up the axe.
**
The first boss creature to appear in [It Kills To] is a monster named Egrande.
A monster that is human at base but has been mutated by a virus, reaching a size of nearly 2.5 meters and has one arm shaped like a bizarre chainsaw.
According to the setting, the virus caused his spine, ribs, heart, stomach, and other organs to attach to his right arm, transforming it into a chainsaw.
It boasted monstrous damage that was enough to reduce a player’s HP to near-death just by brushing against their arm.
‘If you get hit directly, you’ll die instantly.’
An incredibly powerful attack that can cause immediate death or near-death if hit even once.
It’s not even like a Brute with a slow attack speed.
In particular, if the player evades Egrande’s attacks several times, the chainsaw arm will suddenly turn red and change its pattern, suddenly increasing in speed as if it were driven by a motor and attempting to tear the player apart.
‘That’s why we need help from other players.’
When you first encounter it, it’s a level of difficulty where you won’t understand how you’re supposed to catch it.
But [It Kills To] is not a 2-player game for nothing.
There was a way to deal with Egrande without causing much damage, that is, a strategy.
When Egrande raises his chainsaw arm to attack the player, another player shoots a paralyzing bullet near his shoulder. This will cause the movement of his chainsaw arm to stop momentarily, allowing you to dodge the attack.
The chainsaw arm is both Egrande’s main attacking weapon and Egrande’s weak point.
That’s why Egrande targets first the person who attacked his chainsaw arm. When the aggro target changes, the player on the other side who is now safe can deal damage. Then, when the other player is in danger, he shoots a paralyzing bullet to regain aggro.
In other words, the key to defeating Egrande is to accumulate damage to Egrande while ping-ponging the aggro between each other!
“···Uh, um.”
-It should have been.
“That thing… That thing… Ha, haha.”
Surely that would be a normal Eggrande strategy.
Black Orc looked ahead with a puzzled expression.
No, that wasn’t all.
-It’s so embarrassing lol
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Nerve palsy? What is that?
-Ah, you can just chop with an axe, so why do you need something like that? LOL Black Oak and his viewers.
And even Jianchu’s viewers, who are far away, just watching Lee Do-hyeok’s play.
“This guy is the first boss? I’ll catch him.”
The Eggrande strategy they were looking at was a little different.
Nerve paralysis? Aggro ping-pong between two players?
Lee Do-hyeok, as if that wasn’t necessary, evacuates Ji-an to one side of the room and confronts Egrande.
The only weapon he was carrying was, of course, a hatchet.
“Eww-.”
The process of Lee Do-hyeok’s Egrande hunt was very simple.
Phew-
Egrande’s first attack is avoided by kicking the leg backwards.
And then.
After lowering your posture, jump straight up.
fault!
The joint of the chainsaw arm that is stuck in the ground is used as a landing point.
Thanks to this, the nape of Egrande’s neck, which is 2.5 meters long, is positioned at the height of Lee Do-hyeok’s head.
Once again, put strength into both legs and get out of the water.
The blade of the axe in Lee Do-hyeok’s hand aimed straight at Egrande’s vital point.
Swish-
“······.”
-It doesn’t work lol
-Egrande has high defense so it can’t be cut with a hatchet.
But it’s shallow.
There was no need to check the exact location of the impact.
I could tell just by the feeling left on my fingertips.
-If you hit it a few hundred times, you’ll probably catch it lol
-Don’t just cheer for Chu-nim, bring your gun. You said you could use a gun -And then you’ll kill the team again;; What were you trying to do? -But don’t you need the nerve-pain bullets?
Although they were talking about it in the chat window, it didn’t enter Lee Do-hyuk’s eyes.
By the way, before the boss fight started, you guys were talking about some strategy or something.
‘Strategy?’
That’s funny.
Whether what Lee Do-hyuk is doing now is a game or something else.
Is there anyone on Earth who catches monsters better than Lee Do-hyuk?
There was no need to refer to strategies that came out in the short history of Full Dive, which lasted less than 5 years.
Above all, doesn’t Lee Do-hyeok know the ‘monster strategy’ that all of humanity on Earth has come up with after 20 years?
Taat!
There were countless instances, even during my days as a Hunter, when I couldn’t land a proper blow due to lack of attack power.
Even though he was Lee Do-hyeok, he wasn’t born a super-level hunter.
Rather, because his awakening was ten years late, he had to deal with aliens that were several times stronger than the ones at the beginning of the invasion in the first year of his awakening.
How did Lee Do-hyuk survive against those aliens and eventually become one of the 9 heroes?
The answer was simple.
‘Avoid well, cut well.’
This is a very effective method that made Lee Do-hyeok the leader of the Nine Heroes.
···Although it didn’t work on the ruler.
Anyway, it wasn’t something that couldn’t be done against the first boss of the game.
Seo-eok-
The axe blade struck Egrande in the back of the neck.
This time the axe blade goes in a little deeper.
It was thanks to the fact that I struck the area that the first attack had just passed by.
Another attack, taking advantage of the slightly opened gap.
A feeling that flows through your palm.
Even though it wasn’t real, it felt like it had been a long time since I’d felt it and it brought back memories from the past.
At that moment, Egrande’s arm returned with a squeak.
Lee Do-hyeok quickly retrieved his axe and dodged Egrande’s chainsaw arm that flew towards his body.
Boom! Kikki-
Egrande’s arm flew through the air and hit the pillar, making a cracking sound.
That was the moment.
Tsk tsk!
The axe blade was once again stuck in the nape of his neck.
This time, deeper than before.
An axe blade that mercilessly tears open wounds.
The hatchet, which was so deeply embedded that only the handle remained, trembled convulsively.
“Kku, eek-!”
thud······!
Eggrande screams as if in a last desperate struggle.
Lee Do-hyuk quickly turned his body to avoid it, which fell limply to the floor.
“hmm.”
At most, it would take about ten seconds.
It was the time it took for Lee Do-hyeok to hunt Egrande.
“······.”
Cheerleader··· No, it happened before Gian could even fire a single shot from the revolver she had just farmed.
While Egrande and her brother were struggling, Egrande collapsed.
-What is it?
-?????????
The chat window painted with hooks represented Gian’s feelings.
What the heck?
My brother is this good at games?
“This one is a bit tricky. I was especially surprised when he made that whining noise earlier.”
-F*ck lol
-It’s a bit tricky to talk about Sebangcut; ok;
-You’re just crazy
-What kind of flying squirrel is this? It really flies.
In an instant, the chat window was filled with admiration and confusion.
