A genius gamer, reincarnated into a famous hero episode 22
Survival (3)
Over the past six days, Harang observed the level 4 monster Rampage.
‘It looks like a gorilla. It has long fingernails and is very large, so it may seem slow, but it is actually very agile.’
How alert they are when they sleep, how they breathe, and how they move when hunting.
Sometimes Rampage encountered a group of three or three trainees, and analyzing how they behaved at that time was quite helpful.
The trainees only did a moderate amount of fighting before running away, but they were able to see Rampage’s pattern.
Long six days of observation.
Honestly, there was no need to wait until six days, but I watched until the end just in case. Anyway, if you have time, it’s right to make the most of it.
That’s the conclusion I came to.
‘… … ‘It looks so familiar, doesn’t it?’
A giant gorilla that uses sharp claws and moves nimbly by climbing trees. It had the characteristics of a fairly ordinary monster, and its attacks were irregular and very quick, so it looked fierce, but in Harang’s eyes, it seemed monotonous.
What is the reason?
‘These are things I’ve seen a lot in games.’
Animals in virtual reality games were famous for their great detail.
How could it be that there are more people raising pets in virtual reality than they would in real life?
Needless to say, the details of the beast-type monster were delicate, and although they looked different, the gorilla monster that moved nimbly with its claws was also a type that I had faced dozens of times.
‘I guess I can catch it.’
Honestly, it’s pretty easy. There was a possibility that Rampage could be dangerous if it had not revealed its full potential yet.
‘With my current physical ability, it would be too late to recognize the attack with my eyes and avoid it.’
You must identify all patterns in advance, anticipate them, and avoid them. You might think it would be difficult to deal with the indiscriminate attacks of animals, but it is actually easier than dealing with humans.
Humans have intelligence and immediately engage in psychological warfare by devising various strategies depending on the opponent’s actions, but animals do not change much.
Moreover, although the random swings of fists may appear irregular at first glance, they are actually very regular and simple.
‘Magic is… ‘It’s barely available.’
Currently, he has mastered 1-star magic to some extent, but it is doubtful that if he uses it aggressively, he will barely be able to put a scratch on Rampage’s hair.
‘Even if you can’t use magic, there are many strategies you can utilize.’
I took out a glass bottle from my backpack. It is full of animal fat that was collected by slaughtering animals for six days.
‘He’s not very bright at night.’
Evening of the sixth day. The moon rose brightly, but the tall old trees blocked even the moonlight.
There were particularly thick trees growing at the top, each of which could have been hundreds of years old.
While Rampage was asleep, Harang climbed to the summit basin and quietly cut the tree. Not enough to completely knock down the tree, but moderately.
In addition, animal oil is applied and light traps made of woven wood are installed.
The work was simple, but it required a lot of strength, you had to make very little noise, and moving quietly over the rugged mountain path was very physically draining.
“haha… … .”
Harang, who had been working for almost six hours until he felt his physical limitations, collapsed to the floor.
His complexion was very haggard, and cold sweat was flowing.
There was a lot of dirt and leaves all over my body, and I was so tired that I couldn’t move anymore, but the real hunting started now.
‘You have to recover your stamina first with Silver Dragon God Qigong…’ … .’
When he closed his eyes and concentrated by activating the system protection, the surrounding mana was sucked into his body at a very high speed. It was originally a mana exercise to build up maximum mana capacity, but unlike others, it could also be used to restore physical strength.
The winter morning sun rises late.
The current time is 4 am.
Even when Harang almost recovered his stamina and slowly opened his eyes, the world was still dark.
There were three hours left until the morning, Rampage’s activity time.
‘It’s the most defenseless moment.’
At that time, it did not wake up even if flying monsters around it made a fuss, but when the sun rose, it stretched out its claws and swung in all directions at the slightest noise.
‘You have to be most careful with those nails.’
Considering that 3-star swordsmen can barely block it, it is possible to defend under the premise of wearing sword ki, but it is almost impossible for 2-star swordsmen to use sword ki for defense.
If the opponent is a swordsman, it may be possible to counter it with a sword to some extent, but it is absolutely impossible against a monster.
Therefore, Harang had no intention of prolonging this fight.
Lower your posture and slowly approach Rampage.
Rampage sleeps on its side, using a nest made of thick tree roots as a bed. When he thought the distance had gotten closer, Harang aimed his sword at the guy.
‘… … now!’
[Caladon Sword Technique 1st Lunar Eclipse]
[Non-tangible sword]
[Moon sign]
Wedge! Harang’s body appeared like a shadow hidden by the old moon. A sword technique that pierces through the enemy in an instant by approaching without any presence or presence.
However, last minute.
Harang’s thrust adds rotational force.
[Raseongyeol (螺旋抉)]
Wow… … !!
One of Rampage’s eyes was completely destroyed.
* * *
Lauren Cheagan was lazily leaning back on a beach chair, sipping a drink through a straw.
Contrary to his seemingly half-hearted attitude, his eyes were constantly watching the trainees for several days.
“Instructor General. “A trainee has approached Rampage’s nest.”
“Um, really?”
“Shouldn’t we stop it?”
Lauren lowered her gaze and looked at the corner of the crystal screen. The back of Harang, who had not paid any attention since the day before yesterday, was reflected.
“Try louder.”
“yep!”
In the screen, Harang was busily walking around Rampage and preparing something with the tools he had brought with him.
In other words, it did not mean that they took a wrong turn, but that they approached Rampage in a planned manner.
“I will instruct you to intervene when appropriate.”
Several instructors were hiding at the scene and watching the situation, so they could intervene at any time if the trainees were in danger. Although that rarely happened.
“no. Leave it alone.”
The wizards controlling the Eyes of Truth looked surprised.
“Master Harang is only a 2 star now. “It would be too late to rescue him after he was torn apart by Rampage’s claws.”
“well. If you die like that, it will be because you lack thinking. “Finding out how strong your opponent is and attacking them is also a skill in judgment.”
How harsh these words are.
Harang was only 10 years old before becoming a two-star prosecutor.
“But no matter what… … .”
When some wizards showed signs of concern, Lauren said,
“If you intervene and interfere, the head of the family will not let you go, right? “I wasted a great opportunity to test my skills.”
Then, not only the wizards but also the instructors kept their mouths shut.
There is no one here who does not know that Duke Kal-El of the world is testing Harang.
“So, just quietly watch.”
Lauren narrowed her eyes.
‘You’re doing something interesting?’
In the crystal screen, Harang recovered his exhausted body with his unique fortune-telling, and before he knew it, he was slowly approaching Rampage.
Then, at some point.
hook! Harang’s body disappeared like a shadow and quickly approached her Rampage, stabbing her with her sword.
What happened? Unfortunately, at that moment, Ram Page turned her body over and exposed her face to her lover.
Phew! With incredible timing, Harang plunged his sword into Rampage’s right eye.
It didn’t stop there, it wrapped the aura around the sword in a spiral shape and dug out the eyeball like a drill.
Kyooooooo-!!!
The sound was so loud that even the flying boat a short distance away from the uninhabited island could hear it at a glance.
“Smart? “You start with blindness in one eye.”
Rampage immediately woke up and raised both hands and clapped. The intention was to tear away Harang’s body, but unfortunately, he was no longer there.
Harang, who disappeared like a shadow again, jumped on Rampage’s arm, sprinted forward, and swung his sword aiming at his neck.
Fasth! A sword grazing his neck. Green blood burst out and hemorrhaged.
Rampage inflicted fatal wounds twice while he was caught off guard, so at first glance one might think that he had won, but he suddenly started running wild in place and took Harang away from him.
Crumbling… … !
Harang, who had retreated several dozen steps, aimed at Cheongwolheun and lowered his posture.
Rampage’s eyes were filled with anger and caution.
I decided that I should not look down on the small human being in front of me.
“If you start guarding like that, no matter how much damage you inflict, it will be difficult to win… … .”
“There is a little bit of bleeding, but it’s not enough to impair movement or kill you.”
As the instructors thought, Rampage’s movements only slightly slowed down, but he was not at the point where he collapsed from blood loss. The guy showed his anger, showing his teeth with red blood stains, and suddenly rushed towards Harang.
Wedge!
The long claws that had so far terrified countless trainees swung through the wind.
Because the speed was too fast for a 2-star swordsman to respond, some wizards closed their eyes tightly, saying they couldn’t bear to see it.
Hung! Her fingernails split the air.
Did Rampage measure the distance wrong because he was blind in one eye?
It’s not like that. Rampage’s fingernails were long enough, and even if he failed to control his distance a little, it wasn’t so much that he couldn’t reach it.
“Huh? how?”
Several wizards expressed doubts.
Harang only took three steps back, but he didn’t get hit by the nail. Incidents continued to occur thereafter.
Wedge!! The claws, which were sharper and blunter than the sword of a three-star swordsman, were swung continuously, but Harang was able to avoid them with only a light jump and a backward step.
This is a situation that is completely incomprehensible to the wizards’ visual acuity.
“That… … Was it something a two-star swordsman could see and avoid?”
No way.
Several sword instructors had already guessed what Harang’s feat was and its identity.
“If you see and avoid, it will be too late. Trainee Harang’s movements are faster than those of his age, but that doesn’t mean he can avoid Rampage’s attacks.”
“Then how do you avoid it?”
The instructor hesitated for a moment before answering a question from a wizard.
“… … “They anticipate an attack and move in advance.”
“Yes, prediction? Are you predicting a monster attack? “That ignorant scratch without any rules?”
I asked back as if I couldn’t believe it, but when Harang was actually doing that, how could I answer further?
Harang, who had dodged several attacks, must have thought it would be a good idea to counterattack, and now he started swinging his sword, aiming for an opening.
They were more than 5 times different in size, and Rampage’s movements were obviously faster, but for some reason, it was Rampage who kept getting more and more injured.
Wow!!
Rampage seemed to get angry after chasing after Harang, who was moving as quickly as a rat, and suddenly leapt.
Then, he grabbed a large tree and performed tricks in the air, even tumbling, as he rushed towards Harang.
Kwaang!! A force of destruction so ruthless that it leaves a crater in the floor. Harang barely managed to avoid it, but Rampage seemed to have no intention of stopping and jumped again and clung to the tree.
That moment.
Harang’s eyes suddenly changed, and he took something out of his arms and threw it.
“That… … !”
“Molotov cocktail?”
The Molotov cocktail, which flew at high speed, hit not the tree where Rampage was hanging, but a tree far away and caught fire. No matter how much I blame him, it seems a bit excessive, but the fire spread so quickly.
‘Why there?’
Wasn’t Rampage hanging from another tree? The moment a wizard asks such a question.
Like magic.
Rampage, who could not see the flames, leaped towards the burning tree.
Ujikkeun! Kyooo!! The thick tree broke, and Rampage fell to the ground.
The fact that the fur is on fire is a bonus.
“Uh, how?”
Apparently, when Rampage had not yet taken the stance to leap, Harang had already thrown a Molotov cocktail there.
Perhaps because the tree had been cut in advance, it broke incredibly and Rampage fell, and Harang did not miss the opportunity and inflicted another large wound on Rampage’s body.
“Is it a coincidence…? … ?”
It wasn’t so.
Rampage jumped up from his seat and jumped high into the sky again and climbed the tree, but each time he did so, the firebomb flew slowly and burned exactly where Rampage landed.
It’s not a coincidence.
It was all a calculated action.
“… … Master Harang, can you even predict the future?”
Rampage’s speedy claws are avoided by moving in advance, and the unique swift movement of leaping from tree to tree is blocked by burning the trees in advance.
This was the result of a bloody battle with Rampage in the forest at the top of the uninhabited island until dawn.
… … Wow!!
The one who fell first was not a small human, but a giant gorilla monster.
Harang, sweating coldly, stuck the blue moon mark into Rampage’s neck, then sat down on it and shook his hair.
There were no other injuries on his body other than a small scratch from a tree branch.
Rampage’s attacks were not allowed even once.
It was a dangerous fight, so much so that if he had been scratched by Rampage’s fingernails even once, he would have died.
“… … Ha, I was sure you would win from the beginning.”
There was no sign of such urgent tension on Harang’s face.
Even though he defeated a level 4 monster, he just stared blankly at the rising sun with a relaxed expression.
“I can’t believe it.”
“No, how did you do it?”
I watched from beginning to end, but most wizards didn’t even understand how Harang won.
By starting a fire? No, if I could have caught him using that method, other trainees would have done it a long time ago.
Impeding mobility by setting fire to trees is only an auxiliary method, and unless all the trees are burned, the success rate is extremely low.
In the end, no matter what you do, you have to stick your sword into Rampage’s neck to take him down, right?
“how is it? Am I right? “It’s better not to stop it.”
Only then did the wizards agree with Lauren’s words and nodded.
‘Hehe, there’s something that might interest the head of the family.’
What kind of expression will Duke Kal-El make when he hears about this situation?
Wouldn’t it be okay to say that you did what was supposed to be done?
Or will he praise and reward you?
Either way, it will greatly shake up the quiet Caladern family.
An excited smile appeared on Lauren’s face.
To put it bluntly, I was confident that Harang’s presence was as hot as a flame than any other blood relative I had seen while training the stones of this rotten hero family.
‘I’m very excited to see what else will be shown in the future… … .’
