How to Survive as a Player Chapter 202

#202

“Jaeyoung… “How have you been?”

“What am I…” . “I was more worried about my brother.”

The grinning smile was friendly. She didn’t think so, but she must have been anxious. As soon as she saw Kwak Jeong-han and Lee Jae-young, she felt relieved. However, the current situation was not good enough to be immersed in the joy of reunion.

“first… “Let’s solve those first.”

Kwak Jeong-han and Lee Jae-young nodded at the same time. When the back slowly turned away from Se-hyeon, the two instinctively ran towards the monsters.

“Mr. Owl!”

[Grog.]

At Sehyeon’s call, Owl quickly turned his head as if he had been waiting. Soon, a huge head was lowered in front of Sehyun with a sound that shook the ground.

“Mr. Aul, I want to ask you how you are… . “There is something you need to do first, Owl.”

[Grog.]

“You can see the harpoon behind me. Pick up that harpoon and throw it with as much force as possible towards the hand of the monster floating in the sky. It’s okay to fail. “You just have to show how much you can do.”

I don’t think everything will end with this one time. What Sehyun wanted was an ‘attempt’.

They were waiting for Owl to calculate the power and distance he could produce, as well as the minimum probability of success.

Cooung-

As soon as he finished speaking, Aul got up from his bowed position and headed towards the place where the weapon was set up. The claw hand grabbed the huge harpoon and began to slowly lift it.

Accordingly, Owl’s body also became frighteningly strong. Holding the harpoon on his steel skin, Owl took a long breath, put a lot of force into his front paws, and threw the harpoon with all his might into the sky.

Wedge-!

“Ruhak… !”

Currently, only Ruhak floating in the sky could guess the harpoon’s trajectory and distance. A black object jumped out and started chasing the harpoon amid the loud noises that were constantly heard at Sehyeon’s shout.

Sehyun narrowed her eyes and watched the rain keenly. The weapon, which was traveling at incredible speeds, reached a certain section and was blocked by something along with a screeching sound, preventing it from moving any further.

It sounded like scratching glass. After that, Mugu lost his strength and fell. And the second weapon was thrown into the ground of the battlefield, leaving a hideous scar.

From this point on, the invasion of monsters that were constantly climbing the castle walls stopped.

The monsters retreated from the castle walls and began to surround the armor stuck on the ground. It was as if they were covering it up to prevent it from being retrieved.

The weapon was clearly within reach of the monster. If he hadn’t been blocked by something and lost his thrust, he would have definitely reached it.

Sehyeon set his sights on one side of the battlefield. There, survivors who had barely survived the battlefield were fighting while maintaining a defensive camp. But it couldn’t last long like this.

While Se-hyeon was searching for a solution, Ruhak, who had been wandering in the sky, descended in front of Se-hyeon.

“Ruhak, have you seen what it is like?”

Ruhak nodded, wiping the soot and rainwater from his face with the back of his hand. Even if it was just a little bit, his breathing became rough. It meant he wasted a lot of energy.

“Currently, there is a protective shield around the monster’s hand. If there had been no barrier, the weapon might have been able to reach, but it would have been difficult to completely pierce the monster. “You must throw the weapon with a force stronger than the force you are currently throwing.”

“It’s too much for Mr. Aul’s strength. “What I just threw was the best I could throw.”

The moment a flash of light appeared in the gloomy sky, an opaque film that had never been seen before appeared. There was a faint, but cracked, crack in the membrane.

There was at most one weapon remaining. He is said to have to shatter the membrane and pierce the monster’s hand with just one attack… . It seemed virtually impossible.

“Can’t you break it with your own strength?”

“I tried, but… “It was no use.”

Sehyun clenched her fists, and a shout came from behind her. They were heroes who returned after eliminating the monsters remaining on the castle walls. All of the heroes were breathing heavily from the ceaseless struggle. Even as I continued to write <The Depth of Love> and <The Depth of Trust>, I could not hide my heavy breathing.

I had to find a way. A way to save people and overcome this situation at the same time.

But no matter how much I thought about it, only one thing came to mind.

“… Mugu, can you get it back?”

“Yes, Rod.”

Euncheong responded immediately. That was also an answer that represented everyone’s opinion. What Sehyeon said was no different from telling him to rescue the weapon stuck in a battlefield currently infested with monsters.

This wasn’t a question. It was forced.

In the first place, there was not just one weapon needed for this attack. This is probably why the goddess gave weapons to various empires. Because you need to use at least two weapons to attack it.

“please.”

The first person to pass by Sehyeon was Ruhak. Before brushing against each other, he felt a hand touching his ear. In the place where Ruhak disappeared, there was nothing but scattered black feathers. They were followed by Euncheong, Hero, Kwak Jeonghan, and Aul. Sehyeon picked up the black wing feather that had fallen on the floor and looked at his battlefield.

There were long black wings on the battlefield. These were the wings of all vassals, including Ruhak. The place they were heading was towards the armor that was deeply embedded in the blood-red ground.

Owl was held in the arms of one of the heroes. Yes, at least Owl’s strength was needed to pull the harpoon from the ground again.

Se-hyeon also grabbed Lee Jae-young’s hand and started running up the castle wall. It was to rescue survivors who had taken refuge on one side of the battlefield.

“We will help too.”

A silver-haired knight followed Sehyun. He was a knight who commanded the army that appeared with Kwak Jeong-han. He is probably a subject of the Northern Empire.

“Where is the weapon?”

The man twisted his head and gestured backwards. There was a long line of carriages in the direction he pointed. The third and final piece of armor was lying inside the carriage, tightly wrapped in cloth.

“First, we must evacuate the survivors into the fortress.”

“Could you please open the gate? “Our military will take responsibility, protect them, and lead them into the fortress.”

“Yes, I understand… .”

“Hyung, wait a minute!!”

Quaaaaang-!!

Lee Jae-young let out an urgent cry, grabbed Se-hyeon’s clothes and pulled her back hastily. As soon as his body was dragged backwards, there was a roar and an earthquake beneath his feet, like a lightning strike. Everyone who was running on the wall fell, and Se-hyeon stumbled because his legs gave out, and only managed to maintain his balance after being supported by Jae-young.

When I came to my senses, there was a cracked ground in front of me that seemed to be torn. If Jaeyoung Lee hadn’t pulled back, it was a hole he would have fallen into.

“… brother.”

Sehyun reflexively looked at Jaeyoung Lee at the sound of Jaeyoung Lee’s voice as she held onto her clothes tightly. Jaeyoung Lee was looking at the battlefield beyond the castle walls. The anxiety written on his blank face said something.

Sehyeon’s gaze soon followed suit.

“… Ow… Seed.”

Above the battlefield was an aul lying on a cracked stratum. Every time the huge body shook, a bunch of blood leaked out of Owl’s mouth.

In front of Owl, there was something huge enough to obscure Owl. It looked as if it was teeming with bugs. No, it was a monster. A giant monster made up of tens of thousands of monsters was standing bent over, looking down at Owl.

It was created by tens of thousands of monsters coming together and was bigger than Owl, and it was still growing in size.

“Mr. Owl… Save Mr. Aul… !”

I screamed until my throat hurt. The monster’s viciously widened mouth was about to swallow Owl whole.

Big and small explosions covered the monster’s entire body, and sharp flashes of light passed through the monster’s body countless times. Sometimes the head exploded, sometimes the body split, and sometimes both legs were cut off and fell over, but the monster was restored and revived several times.

Wow!!

An angry roar pierced the air. The monster, who was screaming and struggling, stretched out his hand like a dagger towards Owl as soon as his melted arm was restored. What the monster captured was Owl’s face.

The sound of something breaking loudly came from Owl’s head.

[Kkeak, keakgul… ! Crack!]

Letting out a scream, Owl struggled to get out of the monster’s grasp. Blood continued to flow from his nose and mouth. It looked like he was going to die at any moment.

“Mr. Aul… ! “Don’t hold on, unleash your skills!”

Although he shouted desperately, Sehyeon’s voice did not reach Owl. The sound of bones being crushed was heard again, and blood flowed down Owl’s tightly closed jaw. If it were not for the steel shell, the pressure would have pierced the skin.

Still, Owl did not back down. He stood with both feet on the ground, twisted the monster’s arm, and tried to push him away.

It was useless. Currently, Sehyun was using both <Depth of Love> and <Depth of Trust>. However, the fact that Aul was losing ground meant that he was not an opponent that could be defeated with stubbornness or stubbornness alone.

The current Oul lacked the growth necessary to deal with monsters.

[sesame… Crack!]

If I unlocked the <Giant Steel Shoes> skill, I could at least survive. Oul will know too. That escaping the monster’s clutches means taking a step back.

“Stop it, Owl… .”

My fists were clenched. Sehyun already knew why Owl couldn’t quit. It is no exaggeration to say that Owl grew up for this day, repeating rigorous training and conquering the tower every day. He has worked tirelessly to become a vassal who is needed more than anyone else.

He wanted to prove his necessity here.
