Kuung!
– Hunted the ‘Giant Hercules (赤)’, a pest in the swarming forest.
– Number of pests to be eradicated before passing the trial: 40/4
A huge red body collapsed in front of Seun.
Giant Hercules.
It was a pest known as the strongest individual even in the swarming forest.
Among them, the one that Seun defeated was a red mutant that appears randomly among pests, and it was a pest that was more than twice as strong as a normal pest.
Se-un took that guy down all by himself.
“It was more difficult than I thought.”
– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, prepares a tool to eat a bug, but unable to resist, he bites into its hard shell.
Seun, who had hunted the last pest, held two swords in his hands.
This was one of the reasons why Seun went out of his way to find this guy even though he had passed all the conditions of the ordeal.
[ Giant Hercules’s Upper Horn ]
[ Lower horn of Giant Hercules ]
It is not a material. It is a greatsword and a shortsword that were weaponized with the strength of the original Giant Hercules.
As expected from a weapon obtained by hunting red entities, the weapon had a subtle red glow, and its grade was an S+.
Thinking that this would be enough to withstand the power contained in Mamon’s Noble Phantasm, he opened the Universal Weapon Box and put the two horns in.
‘Other people… … .’
[ Yoo Seo Ah: Is there only one team that hasn’t finished yet? ]
[Han Areum: Sorry, Seo-ah! Oh, if it weren’t for that oppa, I would’ve finished it a long time ago. Can you change my team?]
[Park Jeong-pil: No, am I the problem?]
[ Han Areum: Of course it’s you, oppa! I saw you run away earlier! ]
[Park Jeong-pil: That wasn’t running away, it was a strategic retreat!]
[Hanareum: That’s what ran away!]
[Park Jeong-pil: Anyway, I ended up finishing it!]
[Yoo Seo-ah: It’s okay. Given the circumstances, there’s a high chance that the next trial will be conducted in a group, so we’ll wait and move together.]
[ Baekhyun: Can I go and collect a few more samples? ]
[ Yoo Seo Ah: Of course. If you have any other opinions, please feel free to tell me. ]
Quite a bit of time has passed, but it looks like we haven’t moved to the next floor yet.
Actually, it often takes more than a month for that number of people to all pass the 63-story ordeal together.
It’s not just a question of brute force, it’s also difficult to detect the pests themselves.
But since that number of people has already met all the conditions of the trial except for one team, it seems that Harry’s ability is greater than expected.
Se-Woon, who had been watching the guild chat, declared the end of the ordeal with a short smile.
[Jeong Se-woon: I’ll go up first.]
[ Yoo Seo Ah: Mr. Se-woon… … ! ]
Se-un’s vision gradually darkened.
The result of the ordeal was, of course, first place.
It was only natural that he had to hunt as many as 40 pests, and at the end, he had even hunted a red instance of the Giant Hercules, the strongest in the swarming forest.
‘If it’s the 64th floor, then maybe… … .’
My vision changed, along with a slight feeling of motion sickness that I could never get used to.
The first thing that caught my eye was the beautifully colored leaves.
However, the size was a problem. Each leaf was almost as big as Seun’s body.
Naturally, each and every one of those leafy trees was incomparably larger than any tree I had ever seen in my ordeal.
– Welcome to the 64th floor trials.
– Subject: The Howling Forest
– You arrived at the autumn forest full of large trees and felt the life-filled eyes as soon as you entered the forest.
– In this vast wild world, you are just a small prey.
– In this fierce world of survival of the fittest, you must hunt a pack leader and escape the prey’s position.
The 64th floor of trials, the howling forest.
While the 63rd floor trial required players to raid and hunt against giant bugs, this trial will have players take on hordes of monsters.
As the level of trials increases, there are also boss monsters called leaders in the group.
In reality, party hunting is semi-forced on floors 63 and above.
‘Shall we go?’
Naturally, Se-un moved his feet alone this time too.
* * *
The only silver lining about the 64th floor was that not all the monsters here were as large as the giant trees here.
However, this is not to say that ‘all monsters’ are like this. The only ones that are called leaders are as large as large trees.
“Awww-!”
“Ruin.”
– The stigmata react to the tale of the Blood Wolf Legend.
– The first ability of the stigmata, ‘Fear’, awakens.
– Kaaaaaaah!!
On the other side, Ruin also let out a harsh cry against the wolf leader who was howling towards the sky.
The leader’s shout boosted their morale and the wolves that had been baring their fangs unconsciously bent their legs and lowered their heads.
But, just one.
“Krrrr… … .”

– Krrrr… … .
Only the leader of the guys was staring straight at Seun with both eyes open.
No, he showed an even darker murderous aura than before, and his eyes sparkled and his fangs were exposed as if he would kill Se-un at any moment.
‘If Turkiq had been here, it wouldn’t have been like this.’
Is it because I’ve become too accustomed to Turik’s power by now?
Even if he was the leader, if the power of fear was combined with the power of Turik, he could have planted at least a small seed of fear.
As the leader came to his senses, the wolves under his command quickly came to their senses as well.
“Let’s go, Ruin.”
– Kroong!
– The power of ‘Fire Storm’ is strengthened according to the Black Tower’s magic.
– The range of ‘Fire Storm’ expands depending on the enemy tower’s magic.
Hurrruk!
A firestorm erupted from Seun’s hand and swept through the wolf formation.
As expected of a monster from the 64th floor, Seun immediately sensed the threat when Seun used magic and tried to hide behind a large tree, but half of them were helpless and had to turn to charcoal.
“Kwang!”
“Krrrrrr!”
Dozens of wolves came running, led by the leader.
Whether conscious of Seun’s magic or not, the way they spread out and formed an encircling formation was so intelligent that even people, not wolves, would believe them.
“You take care of the stragglers.”
– I understand, my master.
Without Turik, the leader’s men could not be completely brought to their knees, but Ruin was enough to deal with that.
While Ruin took charge of the wolves, Seun ran towards the leader and drew his sword.
Kaang!!
Is it because of the unique internal energy management method of the Blood Lang Sword Technique?
The clash between Seun and the leader felt like two wolves clashing.
“It sounds like it would be fun to deal with.”
– The constellation, the ‘hungry prince’, nods his head repeatedly, saying that it looks delicious.
Despite his large size, the wolf leader was agile and experienced.
It felt like I was fighting a strong player and my body was heating up for the first time in a long time.
– Through internal energy, the Jay style of the Jaha Sword and the Flower Rain Fan Shape are strengthened.
As Seun stretches out his sword, the flames that shoot out spread out in a fan shape.
The leader frowns and quickly hides behind a large tree.
I would have liked to cut the guy down along with the big tree, but that would have been a waste of energy.
I planned to hunt down many other leaders besides this one, so I conserved my strength as much as possible and continued to confront him.
Meanwhile.
“Crunch!”
The leader suddenly distanced himself from Seun.
It was a standoff situation where he wasn’t trying to attack anything, so when he suddenly wondered why he was doing that, an ominous sound came into Se-woon’s ear.
“Kuoooo… … !”
“Moon Bear?”
The leader of the Moon Bears, known to be one of the strongest monsters on the 64th floor, has appeared.
The guy who appeared with dozens of bears in tow looked straight at Seun and raised his thick claws.
Unfortunately, the problem didn’t end there.
“Kaaaah!”
– The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, frowns at the undignified chirping coming into his ears.
A crow called Blade Crow appeared among the leaves of the giant tree.
This creature, whose entire body was made up of feathers made of blades, was one of the most difficult monsters to deal with, as it was a flying species.
“This is getting tricky.”
Seun was surrounded by three leaders in an instant.
When Ruin, too, faced a number of enemies that were too numerous to handle alone while fighting the wolves, he turned his head toward Seun as if asking for his opinion.
However, the reason Se-un was having a hard time was not because he couldn’t deal with them.
“I wanted to enjoy it a little more.”
I wanted to experiment with various techniques in the fight against the wolf leader, but the appearance of the guys ruined my purpose, which was disappointing.
In this case, it is a wise choice to end the battle quickly even if it means using a lot of force.
Sling.
Seun took out the upper and lower horns of the Giant Hercules that he had obtained from the previous ordeal through the Manbyeongjiham.
Since it’s a newly acquired weapon, it’s a good time to test its strength.
– The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.
The moment Seun, who had chosen a Noble Phantasm that went well with his new weapon, was about to activate the power of greed.
– hi!
– long time no see!
– We’ll help you.
– I feel like I’ve gotten stronger!
A familiar voice dug into Se-woon’s head.
Strange things began to happen around Seun with him.
– I’m first!
Kookookookook!
Is it to prevent further involvement, or to prevent the monsters from escaping?
Behind the monsters, a huge stone wall rose up, comparable to a large tree.
– Birds, come play with me!
“Kaaaah!”
Next was the wind.
A sharp blast tore through the maple leaves, wounded the large trees, and swelled them to the size of a flock of crows.
– Bad bear!
Phew!
A sudden explosion occurred where the Moon Bears had been.
The explosion did not stop at just one, but continued to blast the surrounding ground, spewing out hot flames.
– Dogs, just wait a minute~
Next, a torrent of water poured down from the air and struck the wolves.
The wolves, including the leader, were completely soaked in water and couldn’t even lift their heads properly due to the torrential downpour.
Some wolves could not withstand the water pressure and fell to the ground. They were unable to get up and were drowning, gulping down water.
‘Each and every one of them is close to the level of 7 circle magic.’
The spirits, each having completed their missions, appeared.
Along with him, an elf with pointy ears fell down behind Seun’s back as light as a feather.
“You came later than I expected.”
“The more you know, the more you have to do. Where is the flower garden?”
“… … I still haven’t found it. Is the promise from back then still valid?”
“of course.”
Riel Refrain. The last surviving elf has revealed herself.
Judging from the dust on his clothes and the tangled hair, he must have had a hard time.
“then…….”
“Let’s deal with those first.”
“I guess so.”
“Kuaaaang!”
“Koooooo!”
“Kaaaah!”
– The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, exclaims ‘Yahooooh!’ following the leader’s howl as the prey triples.
The next floor was where the Garden of Eternity existed, so it was an appropriate meeting place.
