00033 Boss Monster. ————————————————– ———————-=

Kim Han-byul did not look away from me until the end. She had her eyes on me and she told me to get up quickly, she told me to run away but I wouldn’t do that.

It looks like he made it clear even if his companions misunderstood.

Eventually, I could see the blue light flashing on the warp gate and the transmission for everyone except me was completed.

Did you go?

You went, right?

gone

Before I know it, black shadows surround me. The boss monster continued to croak while looking at me, as if it didn’t care that it missed its prey. I put both hands on the ground and slowly got up. It’s been a while since I rolled around, and my whole body felt dizzy. When I twisted my body for a moment and relaxed my back, I heard a crunching sound and the sound of my joints twisting.

I looked down at the crossbow I had been using so well and dropped it on the ground. Now there was no need for it anymore. The crossbow tumbled across the dirt floor with a clicking sound. Without hesitation, I stepped on the dropped crossbow with my foot.

Pakak!

When I saw that the crossbow was broken in half, I held out my hand with an indifferent expression toward the place where the group had dropped their luggage. When I used my magic power to manifest the magic of empty space, the long sword that An Hyun had dropped whirled around and landed in my hand.

And, finally, I was able to hold a long sword in my hand.

One of the things I couldn’t shake off during the rite of passage that felt unfamiliar was the fact that I didn’t have a knife in my hand. At Hall Plain, I considered my sword as if it were my life. When I sleep, eat, or even wash, I always keep a knife next to me. Maybe that’s why, when I handed the knife to Ahn Hyeon, I felt like I was being robbed of a comrade.

It’s all over now. You can go back to the hole plane. How much I wanted this moment to come. How desperately I wanted to go back again. What was once thought to be a dream became a reality with the acquisition of the zero code, and we were only one step away from that reality. I felt my heart pounding.

It seemed like Hwajeong, sleeping in my heart, was reacting to my hot emotions. I felt like my heart was pounding wildly and the blood flowing throughout my body was burning hot. My breathing, which had stopped, and my dead heart began to burn violently again. The moment just before the beginning of a new, long war.

Wow!

You can hear the boss monster howling. I quietly stared at the sword in his hand before cutting him down. Although I achieved skills that surpassed my past self, there was no guarantee that I was the strongest. But have no fear. Even if I fall into the abyss once again, even if I get seriously hurt once again, I have made a firm promise that I will never give up. Without any worries, I raised my sword and aimed it at the boss monster.

The moment I truly raised the sword, the entire air surrounding me changed completely.

『The special ability Shinken Unity (Rank EX) is activated. The moment you pick up your sword, you receive an additional positive modifier on all actions using the sword. Through many years of experienced experience, numerous achievements, and job correction, you will receive a 2-level increase.』

『Potential ability Close Combat (Rank A+) is activated. For someone who uses melee weapons, this ability is already beyond the limit. As far as close combat, you will never be pushed back. Through many years of experienced experience and job correction, you will receive a 1-level increase correction.』

I used to be a sword master, and now I’m a sword specialist. He has sword-related abilities and has a sword-related job. As such, the difference in power when the sword was not raised was as wide as heaven and earth. Before, it seemed like just a random cloud, but now it was surrounded by a storm-like murderous spirit filled with the will of “I will kill you.”

In my eyes now, he seemed so insignificant, as bad as a bug. When I took a step, the boss monster took a step back. It can’t be helped. No matter how clever it is, as much as it is a monster, its wild instincts are still alive. Now that he realizes that their classes are vastly different, it is safe to say that he has already lost his will to fight.

The basis of my swordsmanship has its origins in Taegeuk. Rather than subduing with overwhelming force, there were many techniques to use my strength and the other person’s strength against them. It was the only way for me to respond as I had less strength compared to the top users. To explain in more detail, it uses the principles of electric healing (concentrating on energy to achieve softness) and Yugeukgang (overcoming hardness with softness), and the point is to suppress movement with stillness.

I slowly lowered the sword. Since I couldn’t expect him to attack first, I was planning to attack first. The current posture was a kind of preparation posture just before performing my own Balgeomjutsu. Of course, I know that it may seem defenseless.

However, the opponent could not predict which direction my first sword attack would take. If you swing your sword at lightning speed in this state, your opponent will often be struck before you can even read the sword’s path, or you will lose the initiative in the attack.

I saw the boss monster trembling in front of me and immediately struck with my sword.

yet.

My sword energy tore through the air and advanced towards him without hesitation.

*

“Ilgeomsal.” It was a wonderful balgeom drink. User Kim Soo-hyun. Celebrating this rite of passage. This user certifies that he or she is eligible to enter Hall Plain as of 16:42:27 on the 6th day.”

Cut the boss monster in half with one sword. After returning to the summoning room, these were the first words Seraph uttered while looking at me. She was still looking at me calmly, her shining wings waving above the small altar. Although I’m seeing you again in less than a week, it feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you again. I nodded roughly and sat down.

“What about the kids?”

It’s an open-ended question, but rites of passage are different from hall plains. It is a space where there are no restrictions on watching users. Since it was obvious that they had seen me play, I assumed that other users would have seen the same behavior as me.

“Disclosing information about other users is not permitted.”

“I’m not curious about the three sizes. I can just tell you if it went well. “You’re so sensitive.”

Seraph, who was listening to me, sighed heavily and then answered in a calm voice.

“Users Ahn Hyeon, Ahn Sol, Lee Yoo-jeong, and Kim Han-byeol were successfully sent to the summoning room. We are currently on standby with dedicated angels.”

“Right. “Are we going to go to the whole plane after half a day of training?”

“Training doesn’t take that long. However, jobs and abilities that fit the characteristics of users must be opened. User Kim Soo-hyun finished it under his own leadership, but I hope he does not equate it to other users.”

These words silenced me. After staying for 7 days in the past, I returned to the summoning room, learned basic knowledge about the hall plane, and was able to enter after setting up the basics. The time taken at that time felt like half a day.

“Transferring all users to the whole plane is processed in batches. Therefore, there is a need to wait for users to become eligible after the seventh day of the rite of passage.”

“Then let me see now… .”

“Absolutely not.”

This was not good news for me, who wanted to get in as quickly as possible. I deliberately dealt with boss monsters quickly and moderately. I asked just in case, but I looked at Seraph, who cut me off before I could hear everything, and grumbled with a sullen face.

“So that means I have to stay here for almost a day and a half. You want me to just wait all this time? “Should I clap clap with you?”

Despite my annoyed voice, Seraph answered clearly.

“I can do it if you want. “We are providing slightly more detailed hole plane information only to users who passed early.”

“I do not need.”

“Then would you like to clap clap?”

“after… . no. “Let’s just talk.”

I shook my head as I looked at Seraph asking the question seriously. He was an angel who could never tell a joke. I decided to ask a few questions I was curious about during this rite of passage. Of course, the tone of voice is full of profanity. Seraph tilted her head when I asked her to just talk, and then nodded slightly.

“This is what I felt while playing Rites of Passage. Have you guys thought about balance?”

“yes.”

Seraph answers in short sentences.

“… Let’s say it’s dropped in the middle of the forest and the race is like that. What on earth is the boss monster like in a summoning spell? What kind of rite of passage is this really? “If this is the case, prospective users will not be able to pass.”

“Is there something wrong?”

“If I hadn’t been there at the end, our group would have been annihilated. “I just don’t understand why they released such a monster.”

Seraph opened her mouth without any hesitation at my words.

“The rite of passage is automatically balanced according to the level of users participating in each session. Of course, this episode specifically excluded user Kim Soo-hyun. Anyway, considering the history of users this year, there were so many potential users that they could be counted among the top five.”

“No matter how much I say that, I don’t understand boss monsters. “These users can’t even use magic power, so how do they catch the boss monster?”

“It is impossible to catch. There is a different strategy. Boss monsters are randomly summoned within 200 to 300 meters of the remaining distance from the warp gate. It’s impossible to take on them alone, and if there are at least five people, at least one can reach the warp gate.”

I could immediately understand what Seraph was saying.

“… So that means up to four people will be used as bait to escape.”

“That’s correct.”

I was at a loss for words. However, on the other hand, I could roughly understand why the boss monsters were placed around the warp gate. Users who pass will have to experience the sadness of losing a colleague they have been with. Since such incidents are not uncommon in Hall Plain, it seemed like the intention was to create a similar shock from the beginning.

I thought it was in bad taste, but I had nothing to say. In a way, the reason I came back was because I couldn’t overcome a similar feeling of loss as above. I sighed inwardly and was about to change the subject when Seraph’s mouth opened first.

“I admit that it was somewhat difficult. For your information, the first four people to arrive at the same time were awarded a small amount of gold points.”

“… oh? Then, no one would have passed first other than us. I am?”

“User Kim Soo-hyun passed in 5th place. The four people mentioned above are tied for first place. As compensation, we plan to pay 2,500 gold points to each person.”

Ohh. That’s good news. 2500 points in the beginning can be of great help. Gold points that can be used in user-only stores are extremely useful in the beginning. I opened my mouth with sparkling eyes.

“oh. Gold points. please give me too.”

“Unfortunately, we only pay out to first place. Normally, 10,000 points were awarded to one person, but this time, as there were four people, we had no choice but to divide them into four equal groups. User Kim Soo-hyun does not have this information.”

is it. I licked my lips with regret and lowered my head. I exchanged 2,500 points for whole plain gold, so I didn’t have to worry about running out of money in the beginning. Or you can purchase beginner weapons. Seraph must have read my expression and spoke to me with a look of incomprehension.

“User Kim Soo-hyun. It seems quite disappointing. “It’s only 2500 points.”

“Gold points don’t come from digging.”

“That’s right. However, the number of gold points that user Kim Soo-hyun currently holds is exactly 3,784,720 points. “I don’t think it’s necessary to focus on 2,500 points.”

… huh?
