Chapter 9
Episode 9
“Kkuik. Kkuik.”
Damian lowered himself between the boulders.
It was huge.
A long protruding tusk.
A mane that rises like a blade.
Leather that looks tough at first glance.
That ignorant-looking giant wild boar, which seemed like it would be crushed by most beginners, was a monster that could not be easily seen, even if it was Damian.
Aside from the fairly demanding specifications, its dignity was extraordinary.
It was because that wild boar was the loser of Whispering Island and the last boss of the tutorial quest, Wild Boar.
[Wild Boar]
A mutant wild boar that lives in the heart of Whispering Island. Every month when they run out of food, they come down to the village and make a mess. When a Wild Boar attacks, it is not easy to stop it even if ten strong men rush at it.
Race: Beast
Type: Elite
Level: 30
Special Note: Be careful as you may die if hit by a rushing attack.
‘I can’t be careless.’
Damian held his breath while watching Wildbore.
It was the one with his head stuck in the fruit vine.
The type of guy like that is an elite monster.
If the grade of the monster Damian had been catching was a normal monster, this guy was one step higher than that.
It was a bonus to have abilities that normal monsters don’t have.
If it’s a kind of privilege, would you say it’s a privilege?
The monsters that currently exist in AC are normal—elite—named—champions, which are not 100% uniform, but have common characteristics.
For example, < elite monsters > were given stereotyped < characteristics > when they were born, and they often displayed more annoying fighting power than < named monsters >.
Unlike < named monsters > that have unique abilities worthy of their names, < elite monsters > have randomly determined characteristics.
It could be said that a general strategy was to use one’s body until the specified characteristics were revealed.
‘Yes, it’s just one characteristic.’
gulp!
Damian swallowed.
Unknowingly, the atmosphere was so tense that all the senses in my body were on edge.
A monster that boasts a difficulty level several times higher than its original level, as it is not yet known whether it will be able to catch it without dying once.
So, Damian approached Wild Boar, who was distracted from eating the fruit of the tree, while raising mana so that he could manifest his skills anytime, anywhere.
If you were fully prepared, you were ready.
The fear of elite monsters was that they had to find out what their characteristics were, but sometimes they possessed two or more characteristics or had characteristics that were incompatible with their own class.
Not being vigilant was one of the basics of dealing with elite monsters.
“First… let’s start with the characteristics.”
Pod!
Before long, Damian spread his palm toward Wildbore.
* * *
“Kwuik?!”
Perong!
Wildbore’s eyes widened as an explosion rang overhead.
It was a redhead in the middle of the night.
The center of this island is a place that is difficult even for veteran hunters.
Moreover, it was not easy to enter this secret and deep vacant lot between the valleys, even if the location was known.
Because it was surrounded by sheer rocks.
By the way…
“Hi.”
“What?”
Wildbore couldn’t help but tilt his head involuntarily as he saw Damian appearing above the tree.
That would be the case if a man with crazy copper-colored muscles suddenly appeared in his abode in the midst of these stacks of mountains where even beasts of prey do not come easily.
Even wild bores, no matter how dull they were in everything, could not help but feel strange.
“Kwyyyyyyyyyy!”
As Damian appeared, Wildbore opened his ax eye. He seemed very angry.
I don’t know if it’s another place, but this place is my realm in name and reality.
The fact that a human appeared in such a place of rest was, simply put, an insect flying into the house.
It was an instinctive hatred.
Besides, if it’s not another bug, but a harmful kind of bug, such as a mosquito
…
It could be said that it was natural for the Wild Boar to come in.
It was for the same reason that when a person finds a mosquito, they try to kill it.
“Such a crazy wild boar bird…”
Kwajik!
As the wildboar crashed into a tree, Damian quickly jumped out.
It was just one assault.
Its power was such that a tree several meters in height could be snapped at once with that single charge.
And Damian stepped on several rocks and landed on the ground, while throwing a glass bottle at the wildboar who turned his head.
“It is a gift. A housewarming gift.”
Aaaaaang!
It was the < Corruption Potion >.
“Kwyyyyy!”
As the < Corruption Potion > exploded, Wild Boar shook his head.
It wasn’t a big damage.
Insignificant, if insignificant damage that does not even reach the basic spell < poison dart shoot >.
However, Damian was looking a little farther than the damage of the < Corruption Potion >, which was the size of an ant’s claw, and he raised mana again and started throwing the < Corruption Potion >.
“Kwyiyiik!!!”
It was just to find out his characteristics.
“It is not physically immune.”
“Kkuyiyiik…!!”
bang! bang! bang! bang! bang!
Wildboar gnashed his teeth as Damian threw the potion in succession.
He was a shrewd fellow.
Sometimes they come out from behind tree trunks. Sometimes it comes out from behind a rock.
Damian went in and out of the Wild Boar’s residence and threw < corruption potion >, and it was quite difficult to chase such Damian.
It was an unusual move.
The area of the clearing wasn’t that wide, but the trees that grew up in the rain were easy to hide Damian’s body.
The high-rise rock walls of the clearing were providing a great shelter for Damian.
‘Summoned mobs are eliminated. Loss of magic immunity. loss of protective film. Damage Reflection Enormity Disruption Runaway Eliminate.’
“Kwyyyyy!”
Quaang!
And even in the midst of that, Damian was quickly calculating in his head how to deal with the Wild Boar, using the < Corruption Potion > to narrow down his characteristics one by one.
The characteristics of elite monsters are attack-defense-crowd control, and they had a total of 24 characteristics, 8 each.
For Damian, who memorized all of those characteristics in his head, it was only a matter of time before he could figure out how to deal with him.
[Notice: 17 damage!]
[Notice: 18 damage!]
[Notice: 19 damage!]
[Notice: Wild Boar’s armor has been < corroded!] [Notice: Wild Boar's defense has decreased!] 'Good. Push forward like this...!' Damian's eyes lit up at the system message that passed by his ear. It was as planned. I haven't figured out what his traits are yet, but unless it's a defensive trait, it shouldn't be that difficult to attack. In addition, the Corruption Potion, which reduces defense by 10%, is a skill that can reduce defense as it hits, and it has the great advantage of being multiplicative but overlapping. If it was a scam, it was a scam. The more you hit, the more your defensive power goes away, which had the advantage of being able to make even a wild bore, no matter how big it boasts, into a mere piece of paper. For Damian, who was drawing out his characteristics with < Corruption Potion >, the continuous decrease in defense was a debuff that was like the icing on the cake.
“Kwyyyyyyy!!!”
Doo doo doo!
So, it was only natural that Wildbore would rush at Damian recklessly, not caring about the collapse of his dwelling.
Demian’s appearance of throwing potions while running away without getting hit by himself was enough to make anyone who faced him turn the tap, not necessarily Wildbore.
‘I can hold on so far.’
Quaang!
Damian’s eyes lit up at the Wild Boar, destroying everything in front of him.
The strategy was in my head.
The most common and standardized strategy.
In order to catch the Wild Bore, the aggro team and the attacking team had to be selected first, and it was common for the other team to deal damage while the aggro team manned it.
It was a pattern of sorts.
It was a reckless monster that chased after a target until it collapsed from exhaustion once the top turned, and rushed at it without even paying attention to what its own HP was doing.
“Kwyyyyyyy!!”
So, Damian’s going around the place as if he were going around the track was also included in order to drain his stamina.
It was because catching a wild bore exhausted by self-control was possible even if you were not a seasoned veteran user.
‘Even if he rampages, at most 3 minutes. Then I pour my all into it.’
Crunchy!
Damian clenched his fists.
He had already raised enough mana.
It is to pour burst damage so that he can use it right away when he collapses from exhaustion.
Even though he had to carry out aggro and attack at the same time, Damian was doing it without difficulty.
Thanks to the < Sixth Sense >, which is a super sense, it was possible for Damian to use non-human movements without difficulty.
“Poooooooo!”
“…!”
cooong!
That is, until it rolled on the floor at the same time as the Wild Boar’s roar.
* * *
“Oh my god…!”
Whoa!
Damian hurriedly stopped at the stone wall that rose up in front of him.
It was the characteristic of an elite monster.
One of the crowd control traits, < Wall Creation >!
At first glance, it may not seem like a big deal, but anyone who has been affected by < Wall Creation > could tell how crappy this trait is.
It was a trait so infamous that it wouldn’t be necessary to say how difficult it was to deal with.
The wall created by the elite monsters is a kind of mana stone wall, instantly blocking the retreat of users targeted by Wild Boar.
It was because it was not a skill that could be easily broken like crackers and secured a way out.
‘I can’t avoid this!’
Doo doo doo!
Damian gritted his teeth as he watched the wildboar attack.
It was an outcall.
The guy was running in front, and a few meters of stone wall was blocking the back.
It could have been avoided if it was an open field with open areas, but there was no good space to escape from the relatively limited dwelling place.
Attacking the residence to monopolize him was poison.
“Kwyiyiik!!!”
Cheek!
Eventually, the moment when the Wild Boar attacked Damian with terrifying momentum, thrusting out its tusk like a battle spear.
“تحول الزومبي…!”
Flash!
The mana gathered in the palm of his hand radiated a blue light from Damian’s mouth.
Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
It was a terrifying binge.
* * *
Toduk! Dududuk!
Dirt rose up.
It was as if dynamite had exploded.
While Wild Boar creates a stone wall and Damian hurries to cast magic.
The Wildbore crushed Damian like a broken eight-ton truck, leaving the stone wall without shape.
It was such a great destructive force.
With the weight and power of a Wild Boar weighing hundreds of kilograms, its charging attack was more than capable of exerting several tons of power.
“…Kkeuk?”
So Wildbore felt that he did not quite understand what was happening right in front of his eyes.
– Oops… X-footed…
Pitch! Dududuk!
It was because a pair of red eyes rose through the thick dust created by the smashed mana stone wall.
“Kwiyiyi!”
Quaang!
The wildboar screamed as the clenched fist hit the forehead.
It was an unexpected shock.
It was as if someone had hit Ohamma with all their might, and it was so powerful that the wild bore’s goal was shaken!
“Kkukkuik?!”
And Wildbore could see a familiar figure emerge from the dust that had settled for a moment, even in the midst of a shaken goal.
“Cool.”
Damian wasn’t dead yet.
“X-foot…X-I… it hurts.”
Damian wiped his lips as the wildboar stepped back. His appearance was very different from before.
gray hair.
bloody pupil.
Black, muscular.
Such Damian’s appearance seemed to be something other than human, and Wildbore felt an instinctive fear at such Damian’s appearance.
