“Huh? Yujun, what did you say… … .”
-Whoa!
Before the other person could even finish speaking.
Nam Yu-jun’s sword stabbed deeply into the opponent’s neck.
There was no time to evade.
“Ugh, ugh… … . Yoo, Yoojun… … . You… … .”
“Normally I would play more, but I’m a bit busy today.”
Nam Yu-jun twisted the knife and pulled it out, saying it seemed regretful.
Blood poured out from his neck and soaked the floor in an instant.
As the corpse fell with a dull sound, a guidance window appeared.
[The ability ‘Killing Urge’ is activated!]
[10% of the opponent’s ability has been stolen!]
[Karma accumulates!]
Nam Yu-jun smiled bitterly.
I thought it would be a headache to kill it since it was a stronger opponent than I thought, but I was able to finish it off quickly thanks to letting my guard down.
At that moment, something fell before my eyes.
[‘The Fear of the Living and the Dead’ is satisfied with ‘Nam Yoo-jun’s’ actions.]
[‘Fear of the Living and the Dead’ gifts ‘Nam Yu-Jun’ with the item ‘Blade Necklace’.]
When I unpacked the item that arrived, I found that it was a necklace that looked quite expensive.
When I put it on around my neck, I felt the muscles all over my body pulsating.
[Wearing the ‘Blade Necklace’ increases your strength by 10%.]
‘What the heck is this?’
Nam Yu-jun’s spirits were high after he had just stolen his opponent’s ability and obtained an item.
My heart began to pound with excitement.
‘In this state, I can kill Seo Kang-rim.’
Just a moment ago, he was slightly superior to Seo Kang-rim, so he could easily kill him at this level.
The game ends once you find Seo Kang-rim.
Nam Yu-jun and Na Chal were both filled with anticipation for the massacre that was about to unfold.
‘Where could it be? It shouldn’t go back to the educational facility.’
Nam Yu-jun quickly began searching the forest.
While looking around, I found footprints left here and there.
Something fell on his head.
-Shoot… …
‘What the heck, rain?’
When I looked up, the sky, which had been dark since a while ago, was getting even darker.
Even in the distance, an intermittent rumbling sound could be heard.
[The energy of water is increasing in the surroundings.]
[The energy of water controls Nam Yu-jun’s fate.]
[Ability values are reduced by 10%.]
As the rain began to fall lightly, Nam Yu-jun could feel his body getting heavier.
At that moment, Nachal spoke encouragingly.
[‘The Fear of the Living and the Dead’ says there is nothing to worry about.]
[I argue that since the ‘fear of the living and the dead’ is the same as the five elements of Seo Kang-rim, it must have been weakened as well.]
Nam Yu-jun laughed at the story that Seo Kang-rim’s five elements, including fire, would also decrease.
‘It’s fortunate that we have the same five elements.’
First of all, we had to find Seo Kang-rim before the rain got any heavier.
The trees are blocking the rain now, but if the rain gets heavier, using ‘Hermit’ could easily reveal your location.
While Nam Yu-jun was wandering around the forest without thinking, he heard the sound of a tree falling.
I went to where the sound was coming from and there was a person there.
‘Seo Kang-rim… …!’
Nam Yu-jun stopped walking when he saw Seo Kang-rim, then his expression changed to one of bewilderment.
‘Why are you cutting down trees?’
He was now indiscriminately cutting down trees in the vicinity.
Nam Yu-jun couldn’t understand Seo Kang-rim’s actions, but now that he was absorbed in something, it was his chance.
‘We have to kill him before it rains more!’
As Nam Yu-jun opened his eyes wide, ‘Hermit’ was activated.
The moment he was about to quietly approach Seo Kang-rim, a sound was heard from beneath his feet.
-Calgrang
Looking down, I could see a faint thread hanging down.
There was a bell in the middle of the thread.
It was a trap.
-Kagan!
Seo Kang-rim heard the sound and ran over, swinging his sword into the air.
Nam Yu-jun let out a breath without realizing it due to the sudden attack, and his ‘Hermit’ status was lifted.
Still, Nam Yu-jun smiled.
“Are you weaker than I thought?”
Having just killed a person and wearing a blade necklace, Nam Yu-jun’s abilities were higher than he had expected.

The strength that had felt equal just a moment ago was now showing a clear difference.
-Pfft!
When Nam Yu-jun kicked Seo Kang-rim, Seo Kang-rim stepped back as if he was thrown.
Nam Yu-jun’s blood boiled at the sight.
“Hahaha! Where are your colleagues? Are you crazy and wanting to die?”
He shouted and struck Seo Kang-rim repeatedly.
Seo Kang-rim barely managed to avoid the attack, but that was it.
I was so focused on evasion that I couldn’t counterattack.
‘Even if you’re more agile than me, one hit and you’re done!’
The more Seo Kang-rim avoided him, the more sadism boiled inside Nam Yu-jun’s heart.
This feeling of cornering and pressuring your prey.
In the meantime, Seo Kang-rim responded by throwing a ‘Gwangyeom Iljang’, but the flame was about the size of a small rock.
“That’s not enough!”
The rain began to fall harder and harder, and the fireworks were losing their power.
Before we knew it, dark clouds had covered the sky and heavy rain began to fall.
‘It’s a bit overwhelming when it rains.’
Thunder could be heard roaring between the dark clouds, indicating that the rain was about to get heavier.
At that moment, an urgent message came from the temple.
[‘Fear of the Living and the Dead’ shouts to break the tree in the center.]
[The ‘Fear of the Living and the Dead’ is getting more and more urgent and stamping its feet.]
[‘The Fear of the Living and the Dead’ orders the destruction of the Spirit Tree immediately!]
‘What the hell are you talking about? Break the tree in the middle?’
When Nam Yu-jun, who received the message, looked around, he saw a tree standing in the center.
It wasn’t a tree that looked particularly unusual.
If you look closely, you can see that the tips of the branches are split a little strangely.
‘Anyway, since the guardian angel told me to destroy it, I guess it would be better to destroy it.’
Nam Yu-jun, who had been chasing Seo Kang-rim, took a step back and ran towards the spirit tree.
Just as the spirit tree was being cut down, Seo Kang-rim got caught between them.
-Kaang!
Seo Kang-rim took the attack with his arms trembling.
In the midst of his confusion, Nam Yu-jun smiled.
“I don’t know what it is, but it seems important!”
Seo Kang-rim did not answer.
I’m just defending against attacks with all my might.
Nam Yu-jun continued his attack, pouring all his strength into destroying the spirit tree.
Then, a lightning strike could be heard from the distant sky.
The surroundings would intermittently brighten as lightning flashed through the darkness.
While continuing the fight with his whole body soaked in rainwater, Seo Kang-rim suddenly started to run away.
‘Huh? Why are you running away?’
Just a moment ago, it was Seo Kang-rim who had been protecting the spirit tree with his whole body.
But Nam Yu-jun couldn’t help but be embarrassed when he suddenly ran away.
While I was wondering who I should target between Shinryongmok and Seogangrim, I heard Nachal’s voice.
[‘The Fear of the Living and the Dead’ cries out to destroy the Spirit Tree first.]
First of all, I decided to follow Nachal’s words.
It’s a shame that Seo Kang-rim escaped, but it seems that destroying this sacred tree will harm Seo Kang-rim in some way.
He swung his sword and tried to cut down the tree, but it didn’t cut down easily.
‘Damn, is this really wood? It looks like a lump of metal.’
Unlike other trees that were easily cut down, the spirit tree was like a lump of iron.
As Nam Yu-jun was hitting the tree in the rain, the sound of lightning grew louder.
No matter how much he cut, the spirit tree showed no signs of breaking.
While he was swinging his sword like that, Nam Yu-jun suddenly looked up.
‘Huh? What is that?’
Something was sparkling.
Nam Yu-jun discovered it and started climbing the tree.
‘Were you trying to protect this?’
I don’t know what it was, but it was definitely something valuable.
The moment he strode up the tree and came face to face with it, Nam Yu-jun was dumbfounded.
It was just a simple iron bar.
The moment when Nam Yu-jun grabbed the iron bar in puzzlement.
“Uh, what is this… … .”
-Wow!
It seemed as if lightning struck above my head, and then in an instant, it came down along the iron bar.
Nam Yu-jun screamed and fell from the tree as lightning struck before his eyes.
“Keuk… … !”
I was struck by lightning while soaking wet and it felt like my whole body was burning in excruciating pain.
As Nam Yu-jun looked forward, gasping for breath, he saw that the Shinryongmok had also been struck by lightning and split in half.
“Ha, ha… … But still, the spirit tree… … will be destroyed… … .”
At that time, Seo Kang-rim, who was thought to have run away, appeared.
Nam Yu-jun struggled to get up and laughed at Seo Kang-rim.
“That’s great… … . What you were looking for was destroyed. I ruined it… … !”
“You broke it?”
Seo Kang-rim asked with an expressionless face.
Nam Yu-jun felt something was wrong.
Seo Kang-rim approached the destroyed spirit tree and picked up a branch.
There were six small branches extending out on either side of the main branch.
As with the trees growing in the forest of swords, the tips of the branches were sharp and keen like swords.
Seo Kang-rim said with a mocking laugh.
“I’m perfectly fine.”
[I have obtained the item ‘Lightning Strike Map’!]
═══════════════
[Item] Lightning-Struck Chiljido (Unrefined)
[Grade] Yongsam-pum (Dragon Third Grade)
[Description] A sword made from a branch of a divine tree. Its power has been increased because it was made from a divine tree that has been struck by lightning.
═══════════════
The status window of the Chiljido map was not visible before Nam Yu-jun’s eyes.
I just think it looks like a weird sword.
[The ‘Fear of the Living and the Dead’ tells us to run away quickly.]
[The ‘Fear of the Living and the Dead’ demands that you leave immediately.]
Although Nachael kept sending messages telling him to run away, Nam Yujun ignored the voice.
There was no reason to be afraid, I was just standing there holding a branch.
Nam Yu-jun swallowed blood and stood up.
“Die!”
The murderer ran towards Seo Kang-rim, screaming evil words.
Lightning struck through the dark sky.
Seo Kang-rim swung his Chiljido in the light.
