Chapter 52 – #17. Rumor(1).

#17. Rumor.

A bleak wind blows
The swaying of branches and the loud noise of leaves brushing against each other made the dreary atmosphere even more creepy.

You don’t even need a weapon on this road.
Rather, it’s just annoying.
In the first place, there are no monsters here.

However, everyone was nervous, so it was ambiguous to insert the weapon.
Seriously, seriously, I was concentrating as if I were on an adventure.

There’s Elena behind her, so why the hell is she doing that?

“Focus. Jinwoo Kim.”
“What?”

Elena patted me on the back.
Even in the presence of Elisha and Dahee Yu, they openly talked about it.
I couldn’t even point it out because it came out shamelessly from earlier.

‘What is concentration?’

The moment Elisha is in danger, Elena scrambles.
What does it mean?
If you hide behind Elisha, you’ll be damn safe.
So I’m walking behind Elisha.

Of course I had to focus, but I didn’t have to be so fucking serious.

It would be nice to have a little chat and go with high tension.

‘However…’

Come to think of it, am I a little angry?
Hit my back on the subject of Elena?
Even if it was close to the fucking level of knocking, it was still unbearable.

Vibrator vibration ON.

“Ugh, you just gave the ‘order’ right? Aren’t you going to cancel right away?”

As soon as I gave the ‘command’ in my heart, a response came from Elena’s side.
He seemed embarrassed by the hand that went down involuntarily.

There are no more commands to turn it off normally.

I looked back without saying anything.
Elena was the last, so she was able to laugh without anyone noticing.

Ugh-.
“Huh…”

A soft vibrating sound.
Maybe it’s because it’s quiet, so I can hear it better.
There was also a moan so sweet that it made me erect without even realizing it.

“…”

The sound soon disappeared without a trace.
Elena used mana to silence the sound.

Just as I hadn’t heard the chatter between Elena and I before, I couldn’t hear the cry from Elena’s butthole anymore.

One of the miscellaneous skills you learn as a player.
I have to learn and come out.
I believe that Elena will take care of it.

Elena fidgeting behind her.
I’m still walking behind Elisha.
Was it because his strength and agility had grown a lot, or was it because he just walked without saying a word?

I didn’t see a single monster as I walked along the narrow path.

Most of the monsters that appear on the first floor are native soldiers.
The native disease I met at the academy for a taster.
A native soldier with two legs, just like humans, cannot climb a steep mountain.
It is possible for a native soldier with good physical specifications, but it is impossible for a native soldier who is likely to come out near the academy right away.

The randomly generated earth soldiers form a group and attack the players.
There are native soldiers armed with scythes and hoes, and there are even cavalry troops riding on earthen horses.
Unless you’re a fucking strong player, a party is mandatory.

It is impossible to compare with the native soldiers I saw at the academy.
Native soldiers in the academy are set as the average of the party, and native soldiers outside the academy have a set ability.

The native soldiers you meet outside the academy are monsters whose average individual strength far exceeds that of humans.
Regressor Yu Da-hee also returned dozens of times to break through the first floor.
And it recurs hundreds of times until it reaches the next starting point, the 5th floor.

It felt so far away.

Walked and walked
The forest, which was invisible except for darkness, gradually began to emit light.
Light seen from afar.
I saw something beyond it.

“Hey, I see something.”

‘First City’ appeared in a shabby place where Elisha’s finger followed.
It is the first ‘safe area’ on the first floor.
Even though it’s called ‘First City’, it’s actually closer to the countryside.
City? Give it to the dog

When you think of the description in the novel, the ‘First City’ is not a city.
Facilities inferior to those in the countryside.
If we think of the worst, a worse facility will greet us.

That’s why it’s hard to live on the first floor.
To live in a ‘safe area’ like a monster village that is worse than the countryside.
I wanted to run away to the second floor right away.

Greenskins, beastmen, all the various races living in nature.
After tasting the tutorial and the academy, I become a body that cannot live in the original world.
What about humans anyway?

‘There’s nothing different about the second floor, though.’

Still, in the novel, Dahee Yoo said.
It’s fun when you get used to it.

Just as if you procrastinate because you are afraid of the military, you will become a fool.
You just have to see the spicy taste on the first floor and go up to 100 times more motivated.

“… Oh…”

The billions collapse in the disastrous “Safe zone.”
Yu Da-hee was already breathing a sigh.

At least, it was Elena.
I’m used to it because I’ve already been through it, but this bitch can use the ‘teleport gate’ to go upstairs at any time.

「First City」
It is the ‘safe area’ that you can encounter first after leaving the first floor academy.
The entire village was surrounded by a wooden fence about 5 meters high, nothing more than an ordinary monster village.

We walked out of the woods and through an open plain in all directions.

Booth-.

At that time, the earthen floor rose up and took shape.
It was a native disease that was slightly larger than the average adult male.

“Four… !”

Elena won’t help in the fight.
I will push hard for Elisha’s growth.

Then the five of us must destroy those four.

I went forward and took a stance.

The vanguard of our party is Yoo Da-hee, me, and Eloin.
Among them, Eloin is currently the strongest.

“Princess Elisha, come behind me.”
“Ah.”

Even if Elena was there, Eloin protected Elisha.
But Elisha didn’t want her to be overprotective.

“Eloin, I’m pretty strong too. I’ve recovered all my lost strength, so I’m not so weak that I can’t do anything.”

A water spirit formed around Elisha and was summoned.
On the 0th floor, three spirits appeared that were much larger than when I first saw them, the size of a newborn baby.
It was a lower-middle-level spirit, the lower-middle level among the seven levels.

‘I’m strong.’

Water spirits are one of the better tools when dealing with native troops.
When a poor soil bottle gets wet, it can’t maintain its body and collapses.
Ordinary soldiers who do not even have weapons cannot defeat the water.

Native soldiers run towards us.
The movement was quite swift, so I couldn’t be vigilant.

“Come!”
Bang-!

Yu Da-hee pushed back the native soldiers with her shield.
The power of the native soldier was quite heavy, and there was a feeling of being pushed out at the moment.

I didn’t stand still either.
Because you can’t grow by watching.
I was thinking of trying one out to taste.

One guy threw himself at me.
I raised my shield and let go of his attack.

Bang-!
“What!”

The native soldier’s headbutt with all his might was not an attack that I, a mere human, could prevent.
Shed?
Shedding was something that had to be endured once.
I rolled on the dirt floor with a trooper.

“Pooh!”

Except for Elena, everyone else was busy dealing with the native soldier in front of them.
Elena was the only one who would laugh at my shabby appearance.
Elena’s ridicule is too embarrassing.

Vibrator vibration best ON.
“Ah, ah! I won’t laugh I won’t be laughing, so please look at me!”

Elena said pleadingly and pulled out her switch, which was fastened between her black tights.
Before the switch went back to ‘Vibrate: Best’, I canceled her command.

“Let’s make gratitude a part of life in the future.”
“Go, thank you…”
“Who is the master?”

After Elena glanced at her companions fighting in front of her, she murmured.

“Thank you. Lord, Master…”
“Good.”

I got up.
I must have recovered my shame, but now they don’t look at me.

As if the native soldier recognized me as a rival, he was waiting for me, looking at me.
It felt like another world was unfolding between him and me.

“Hryah!”

I stomp my foot toward the trooper.
This time, the soldiers took a defensive stance.

Off-air conversion that is incomparable to Deadman or Ghoul.
It was on a different level from the idiot Undead, who were only attacking.

It’s just ‘black magic’.
Filling in the missing specifications is the root of the fundamentals.

[‘Physical strengthening’ is activated.]

The life force he had accumulated so far had fallen close to zero.
But I feel a surge of energy in my body.

He swung his sword at the soldier.
Ignorant attack.

“If you’re going to use a sword like that, why don’t you use a blunt weapon instead?”

Ignoring Elena’s sarcasm, I gave her a firm hand.
He exerted his strength with the momentum to break the soil.

Puppy-!
“Wow!”

The soldier hit by my sword severely shattered his left arm.
Even so, as if nothing had happened, he waved his remaining arm toward me.
Like Deadman and Ghouls, there were only monsters that couldn’t feel pain.

I raised my shield.
It was about an arm that came in recklessly, so I could easily block it.

“Big… !”

Blocking it didn’t change anything.
The pain that passed through the shield pierced and vibrated in my arms.
Blocking it with a shield makes me vomit at this level.

‘Should I throw away the shield soon?’

Avoidance is more attractive than defense.
Because no one likes to be sick.

With that thought in mind, he exchanged exchanges with local soldiers and airlifters repeatedly.

“Are you avoiding it? That’s right, if you get hit, you’ll be fucked like your left arm.”

The native soldiers mostly evaded my attacks.
As I started to dodge, my attack cut through the air.
It’s quite agile, so it’s not like I’m going to go to the middle of the day.

“Hoo-wook. Hoo-wook. It’s fucking hard…”
“Can I help you?”

Elisha’s blunt tone.
Her nuance of not wanting to help anyone could be seen.

“Wow… I am the only one doing this.”
“Can I help you?”

Dahee Yu quietly asked.
Compared to Elisha, she definitely wanted to help.

The party who had already dealt with the soldiers were watching me.
It’s true that I’m the weakest, but when it actually happens like this, my hands and feet shake.

“No, it’s okay. It grows faster if you catch it alone.”

Help was refused.
The end will be a return anyway, but until then, it is right to roll as much as possible.

‘Shadow, wake up.’

I might as well show you this.
Because it was Yu Da-hee who gave me the ‘Traces of the Ancient Spirit’.

However, I noticed one thing.

‘Never say anything.’

The moment I find out that the Shadow Spirit can speak, the method I was trying to use becomes useless.

“Oh, what is that?”
“Shadow Spirit.”
“Are you a Shadow Spirit? How do you…”

My shadow lingered up.

Elisha looked at the shadow spirit as if she couldn’t believe it.
It’s a little embarrassing that I have the same body type.
The cock wasn’t running, so let’s take that as a consolation.

I got into a position.
I threw away my sword and shield and raised my guard.

“This is the Korean traditional martial art.”
“Traditional martial arts… ?”
“Yes, it is a traditional martial art. Daguri.”
“… Seeing that you’re kidding, I guess you’re still on your toes? I just asked.”

Dahee Yoo let out an empty laugh.
Elisha looked at Yu Da-hee and murmured.

“I keep doing it because Dahee makes me smile.”
“Is it?”

What’s so good about it, they talk and laugh at each other.
Elena sneaked up on the other side as well.

Only Eloin and Elvaron, who were not part of the female group, watched the fierce battle by my side.

I commanded the Shadow Spirit.

“Fuck! Run over!”

It seemed that the native soldier was arguing with me, but I didn’t know what to do.
It is important to win and see.

Tring-!

Today, I sent a soil bottle to the soil.

—
[Battle settlement…]
[Get 1,000 Coins!]
[‘Hard Skin Lv.4’ ▶ ‘Hard Skin Lv.5’]
[‘Shield Lv.3’ ▶ ‘Shield Lv.4’]
—

It was worth the hard work.
I’m proud to see the increased numbers.

“… Thank you for your effort.”
“Thank you.”

Elisha patted my shoulder.

“Elisha, what are you doing?”
“I am washing my hands. Dahee, would you like to wash your hands too?”

Her water spirit dripped water, and Elisha rubbed her hands under it.
It seems like it’s saying that it touched me, but it’s just fucking cute.
At least this is proof that we’ve become friends.
She didn’t feel bad.

“Let’s move again.”

We walked into the wide open First City.
