Episode 98

“If I give you the stone that stops that monster, what will you give us?”

Sehyuk answered without a moment’s hesitation.

“It is liberation.”

her!

The old man lets out a short sigh that sounds like he’s laughing and looks straight at Sehyuk.

“Are you trying to beat up all the monsters? You have a lot of spirit.”

“That will happen.”

“It would be nice to be young.”

The old village chief’s sharp eyes scanned Sehyuk and his group.

Sehyuk responded by quietly meeting her gaze.

Holding the sword tightly.

At that sight, the old man chuckles.

“If you don’t listen, are you going to break this place down and rob it?”

“That’s not possible. If you allow me, I would like to show you my skills by competing against the old man.”

“You may not be respectful, but you still want to attack. Hey, tsk.”

The old man laughed and put his cigarette back in his mouth.

“It’s obvious I’ll lose if we fight, but I have to say what I have to say. I can give you the stone. But, there’s a condition.”

“Before that, go defeat all the other monsters.”

“That’s what I intended to do from the beginning.”

“Puhahaha! Okay. I’ll give it to you if you wipe out all the remaining monsters. You figure out the rest.”

After saying that, the village chief entered the house carrying an ashtray and a bundle on his back.

‘We’ve reached the beginning stage.’

I already knew the prerequisites.

Defeat all the remaining monsters to gain the village chief’s trust.

And to defeat the remaining monsters, you will need the help of the townspeople again and the use of various tools.

This is also a chain of complex events.

“Everyone, follow me.”

The destination is the first person you encounter, the person who lives in the first house in the village.

Go back there.

The reason is simple.

Because there are monsters that can only be caught with this person’s help.

‘These people are so terrified and desperate right now that if you just ask them for help, they’ll all back off. So we have to convince the village chief and even that person.’

And before that, Sehyuk called Choi Sunghyun and said.

“Choi Sung-hyun, you have work to do here.”

The reason I brought Choi Sung-hyun. Because I need his skills.

“Here at the square, in exchange for repairing the machines in this town, you will receive a machine device proportional to its size. You will receive up to about your height. After that, you can repair them for free.”

“All right.”

A mechanical device of a certain size. This is also a prerequisite for meeting monsters.

But if you just ask, these people will never give it to you.

‘Some unlucky person who happened to come here left a review on the Internet.’

Whether it’s because they believe they can fix it someday or because they don’t want to deal with monsters, these people are extremely closed off.

If Sehyuk had fallen without knowing the strategy, he wouldn’t have been able to guarantee his survival.

“Let’s go somewhere else first.”

Leaving Sunghyun behind, we head back towards the village entrance.

The destination is the house of the person I first met.

A man covered in rags greets them and tilts his head.

“You’ve come so quickly. Is there something else you need me to do?”

Sehyuk looked at him quietly and opened his mouth.

I already knew everything.

A secret that this person desperately wants to hide.

“I want to defeat monsters. Where can I go to see them?”

“Huh? Suddenly?”

“I know everything. You are the strongest person in this village after the village chief.”

This person is actually the representative hunter of this village,

He is the only one who can tell you how to find out the monsters’ habits.

If you don’t know how to do something, you absolutely must get help from this person.

In addition, one of the monsters can only be caught if this person has an item.

‘Because this is the person who survived before the regression and was telling this story on the website.’

As soon as he heard that, the hunter’s face became serious.

“Why do you keep poking around in there?”

He bends down slightly and whispers.

“If you do something wrong, we might all be defeated. Do you really want to kill us all that much?”

“Then are you going to keep living like this? When they think you’re useless to them one day, you’ll all be left behind, right?”

The hunter looked resentful, as if he had been hit on the nail on the head.

“Everyone is good at speaking.”

“Then prove it. Follow me.”

After saying that, Sehyuk grabbed the hunter’s arm.

“Let go of this!”

“If you drag me away quietly, I won’t go anywhere, right? I have no intention of harming you.”

“What the heck…!!”

A hunter who uses harsh language and holds a worn-out blade to Sehyuk’s neck.

“Just give it a try.”

However, he quickly lowered his hand as soon as he saw Sehyuk step on a stone and break it.

“I won’t tell you to fight me directly. Just watch and if you can’t stand it, run away.”

The reason I came to find the hunter was to show him my skills.

Because there is no better way to prove and persuade than to demonstrate your skills.

‘I can never proceed to the next step without this person’s help. It’s better to let him see for himself.’

“But if you run away before you see it, you know what will happen.”

“shit.”

Cross the mountain with the hunter.

As we cross the mountain and pass the road, we see a huge reservoir built on one side of the mountain.

“There’s a pavilion too. It’s a bit old though.”

Han Si-hyeon climbs up to the pavilion holding a small dragon and looks out at the reservoir and the huge mountain range beyond it.

A small lake in a typical rural area.

However, there is something sinister hidden inside.

“Han Si-Hyeon. It would be better if you weren’t there.”

“what?”

Before Han Si-hyeon could react, Se-hyeok took out the items he had brought in the bag.

It is a giant magic stone the size of a bowling ball.

‘It’s something dug up from a mine left behind by deserting engineers.’

Since Sehyuk cleared it out, no one has lived near there. I don’t know if anyone will come in the future.

with a plop!

Sehyuk immediately threw the magic stone into the reservoir.

Because the beings living here react to objects with great magical power.

Ddududduk.

The small stones around it are shaking finely.

“Hey, what did you do?”

Han Si-Hyeon hurriedly comes down from the pavilion, holding the small dragon tightly in her arms.

Choaaaak!

At the same time, a huge splash occurred and something rose up from within the lake.

A torrent of water covers the lake.

The pavilion where Han Si-hyeon was was soaked with pouring water.

A giant snake emerged from the lake.

A giant snake rises up and sprays water all around, looking at Sehyuk and his party and screaming.

To be exact, it is an evolved snake.

The identity of the monster in this area.

Those are wild animals of Korea.

Ordinary wild animals have been imbued with the power of nature and have become a group of powerful monsters that are taking over this area.

It was famous for forming a force with five field boss monsters that were powerful enough to dominate an area even on their own.

‘Thanks to that, only the people around them who were caught by these guys died.’

This guy is the same.

An untouchable wave of intense magical power emitted by a gigantic mass.

An aura that fills the surroundings with fear sweeps over those who see it.

The sky darkens and a gust of wind blows.

The grass and trees sway wildly.

“Eww!!”

A hunter who had been shivering in the distance runs up the mountain, making a noise.

“I, I. It’s just a snake, why are you making such a fuss?”

“No, normal people don’t just look at that and call it a snake.”

With Han Si-hyeon’s beating, Se-hyeok took a stance.

Han Si-Hyeon’s vines intertwine to form a solid base, and Se-Hyeok’s body leaps onto it.

Kyaaaaah!

The snake ripples and creates waves, and the waves turn into huge spheres of water and spears that fly towards Han Si-Hyeon and Se-Hyeok.

In the meantime, Han Si-Hyeon created vines to block the Imoogi’s water attack.

After a while.

With a silver sword light scattering in the air, the snake’s head falls off.

The snake’s headless body collapses and water splashes everywhere.

The floating body of a snake.

Sehyuk picked up the head of the snake that had washed up on the shore.

“One guy is finished.”

Pick up the snake’s body and put it in the bag.

Meanwhile, the hunter who was watching the scene opened his eyes wide in surprise and ran towards Sehyuk and his group in a panic.

“Hey, crazy. Are you okay?”

“As you can see.”

A bloody sack containing the snake’s head, and the snake’s massive body floating on the pond.

Finally, the hunter, who had been looking at Sehyuk’s face one after another, exhaled as if he was having trouble breathing and made a face of disbelief.

“Is this real? This isn’t a dream?”

“Please calm down, since you are alive and well.”

“Oh, right. Right… .”

Sehyuk smiled brightly at the man who seemed speechless and unable to continue speaking.

“Even if I fail here, I’ll be able to live a little longer since there’s one less person. I don’t think I’ll fail.”

The small dragon uses telekinesis to retrieve the snake’s corpse.

Sehyuk familiarly cut open the snake’s body and took out what was inside.

Meat, leather, and finally a giant legendary water crystal.

These water crystals are the result of the powerful natural elemental magic of this region accumulating in the animals and crystallizing.

At the same time, this was also the reason why they evolved into powerful monsters.

This is nothing less than the crystallization of the power of Chungcheong Province’s powerful natural phenomena.

That’s why this natural decision was transformed into a legendary staff before its return.

‘But now, you are destined to be my insignificant source of power.’

Of course, Sehyuk’s use is not meaningless.

‘With this nuke, we can have a semi-permanent water supply.’

He gathers the ingredients and leaves.

The next monster can be encountered through the old machine that Choi Sung-hyun rescued.

Take the people over the mountain again.

Se-hyeok, who was coming down from the mountain, found Choi Seong-hyeon chatting with the village elders while sharing a meal.

Beside it, there are piles of machines that Sehyuk had instructed.

“What a solid young man. Thank you very much.”

“Haha. Thank you. You are a person worthy of respect, not only for me but also for my colleagues. You will defeat the monsters here.”

“Oh, that’s a bit.”

Sehyuk approached the platform under the large tree where Choi Sunghyun was sitting.

“You’re really friendly.”

“Ah, Sehyuk!”

Choi Sung-hyun gets up from his seat.

The village elders who were looking at the sight shook their heads.

“Sigh. If you guys value your lives too much, why don’t you just stay still and live?”

“Yes. I say this because he is like my son.”

Old people clicking their tongues.

However, they could not help but open their eyes wide when they saw the snake’s head that Sehyuk took out of the sack without saying a word.

“Huh!”

“It seems like everything is ready, so we’ll leave right away. Choi Sung-hyun, let’s go.”

“yes.”

We cross the mountain again. This time, not on a proper path, but into a rugged forest.

As we entered the mountain, at some point a snow-covered forest appeared.

“Even though it’s only mid-November, this place looks like a snowy winter forest.”

“That’s right. Is there snow piled up? I don’t think it’s snowed before.”

“That’s the point.”

As we continued inside, there was a frozen valley.

Sehyuk finally stopped walking there.

“Now, pour the machines in here.”

A clump of machines as tall as Choi Sung-hyun appears again on a small plain near the valley.

I’m going to put a ton of junk machinery in one of a few specific locations.

That’s how you can meet an ice-attribute goral.

We stacked the machines and waited a bit for a response.

A huge, vibrating sound, as if something was running towards me.

Something is rushing towards the junk.

Cookie Cutter!

As the pile of junk shattered into a spectacular crash, a gigantic deer with mysterious white fur and ice horns appeared among them.

The second boss, a goranida with ice attributes.

“Ugh… .”

The hunter trembles at the sight.

This time, he didn’t run away, perhaps because he had gained some confidence, but he was still too scared to move.

Sehyuk smiled and wrapped his arm around the hunter’s shoulder.

“Well, actually, there is a way to kill these guys easily.”

There’s a reason I was confident it would be an easy fix.

Because you can use verbs.

[Kyaaaaah!]

As the small dragon emits waves from its body, the deer stands frozen and does not move.

Sehyuk immediately cut down the deer.
