Chapter 70
‘At this rate, I won’t even get to see a proper fight.’
Yeo Min Ji was dissatisfied with the current situation.
The reason she participated in this event was solely to observe Jung Hoon’s combat up close.
The fist technique he possessed.
To investigate the origins of that fist technique.
That’s why she needed to go to the outskirts to defend Seoul, but Jung Hoon chose Namsan instead of the outskirts.
At this rate, far from investigating his fist technique, her contribution would be zero and she’d surely rank at the bottom of the event.
‘Rankings aren’t what’s important anyway.’
If a Monster Wave occurred outside, she could just move to the outskirts.
“It’s about to begin.”
One minute left until the event started.
[The 1st Monster Wave will begin.]
And after one minute passed, a gate was created in the sky above.
Yeo Min Ji’s pupils trembled wildly when she saw the gate.
That gate was the starting point announcing a Monster Wave.
“Th-this is impossible…”
A Monster Wave unfolding in the stronghold, and right in the middle of it at that?
“Get ready.”
Jung Hoon had already finished his battle preparations.
“Ah, understood.”
She also hurriedly equipped her knuckles and switched to defensive equipment loaded with speed increase options.
Since Martial Artists engaged in close combat, speed was the top priority.
[Defend the stronghold!]
Dozens of monsters poured out from the gate.
[The stronghold is being destroyed!]
[Damage: 0.001%]
[When damage reaches 1%, the siege will automatically end.]
As the monsters poured out, Namsan Tower was slightly damaged.
“1%…? This is really too harsh.”
Usually siege battles continued until the stronghold completely collapsed.
But this siege battle would end even with just 1% damage.
Since the city was so massive and they couldn’t drag the event out, they had set extremely harsh conditions.
[Lv.130 Wild Boar]
The first wave monsters were wild boars.
The monsters were also composed of creatures that would appear in Korea.
“Let’s deal with them for now.”
Jung Hoon leaped forward.
With his level adjusted to 150, all his stats were also adjusted to 150.
Though his level had increased by 46 levels, his stats had actually decreased.
Still, his skills remained the same, so there was no problem using them.
‘Myeongwang Martial Arts 1st Star.’
Jung Hoon’s Myeongwang Fist Technique struck one wild boar.
“Squeeeeek!”
The wild boar screamed from the heavy punch, and the other wild boars that had been falling from the sky and rolling on the ground regained their balance and charged at Jung Hoon.
“Where do you think you’re going!”
When Yeo Min Ji unleashed her fist technique, a small whirlwind arose and squeezed between them.
“Grrrr!”
While the wild boars’ attention was divided, Jung Hoon used his Divine Movement and extended his fist toward the next wild boar.
The Myeongwang Fist Technique connected and rose to the 2nd Star.
As the wild boars fell one by one to his fist technique, Yeo Min Ji was left speechless.
‘Wow…’
She had been amazed when watching Welcome’s videos, but seeing it directly with her own eyes was beyond surprising—it was shocking.
He wasn’t simply pushing through with fist techniques.
If he had obtained the fist technique through a fortuitous encounter, his combat sense came from his own capabilities.
That wasn’t something that could be learned just by watching over someone’s shoulder.
‘What exactly does this person do? Is he really level 104?’
She could only let out a hollow laugh.
Korea’s top-ranked Martial Artist?
What a joke.
The real genius was right before her eyes.
He hunted wild boars using only the shortest paths, and even while beating down so many of them, he didn’t allow a single opening.
That’s why even when the wild boars ganged up on him, they couldn’t handle Jung Hoon.
“Jung Hoon! I’ll help you too!”
Ha Jin began hunting wild boars while swinging his sword.
At that booming voice, Yeo Min Ji snapped back to her senses with a start.
“I-I’ll help too.”
Right.
This isn’t the time to be spacing out and watching.
I should pretend to join the battle while openly observing!
The option of actually focusing on combat didn’t exist.
Thanks to this, Yeo Min Ji was able to watch Jung Hoon’s fist technique until all the wild boars disappeared.
* * *
[The 1st Monster Wave has ended.]
[Current Stronghold Damage: 0.02%]
“A-already over?”
Kim Bong Gu scratched his head with a bewildered expression.
In front of him lay three wild boars sprawled out.
They were wild boars that had fled down from above.
‘If any monsters come down, hunt them without mercy.’
Because of Jung Hoon’s instructions, Kim Bong Gu had immediately killed the wild boars.
“What a truly amazing person…”
Every time he recalled the fact that he had almost made an enemy of such a person, his blood ran cold.
I must never do bad things again.
Just then.
Beep beep!
The sound of honking horns came from behind.
When he turned around, numerous vehicles were lined up in front of the barricade.
“Hey! Why did you set up this barricade like this!”
“Move this thing! You fucking bastard!”
Bastards sticking their heads out of windows and screaming at the top of their lungs.
Veins bulged on Kim Bong Gu’s forehead.
“Fucking bastard? When did we meet that you’re cursing at me? Do you know me? You fucking assholes?”
While saying this, he showed them his middle finger.
“Fuck you? This son of a bitch has lost his mind. Hey, what are you!”
Users got out of the vehicles.
They were all adjusted to level 150, but some had completed their 3rd job advancement.
‘Fuck… how many of them are there?’
Honestly, he was fucking scared.
‘If this place gets breached, I’m dead.’
However, Jung Hoon’s warning was even scarier.
If this place got breached, he would truly taste the worst pain.
“Fuck off! You sons of bitches, if you want to pass, beat me up first!”
Right. If he at least pretended to block them and died, Jung Hoon would probably show mercy.
At least he wouldn’t kill him repeatedly.
But then.
“What the fuck! What is this!”
Screams erupted from the back of the vehicles.
Then ghosts wearing mourning clothes appeared.
A ghost covered in blood, a ghost with its head cut off and missing, a ghost with its upper and lower body separated and moving independently, a ghost in black mourning clothes holding a scythe, a giant ghost over eight feet tall, and so on.
They were all ghosts that had been seen in ghost stories.
At the appearance of such ghosts, the users became panic-stricken and hurriedly fled.
Of course, there were some who didn’t.
“These bastards! Kill them!”
“I’m a Paladin!”
Users who wielded Divine Power instead of mana.
Their confident expressions hardened stiffly before long.
“Fuck! What! Why won’t they disappear?!”
Even after being hit by Divine Power, the ghosts didn’t disappear.
This was because the mana of the necromancer who summoned the ghosts surpassed the Divine Power.
[You have been cursed.]
[Your life force begins to drop.]
[All stats are reduced by 10%.]
To make matters worse, they were cursed, causing all their stats to decrease and their life force to begin dropping.
Life force exists for each individual user and is commonly called ‘HP bar.’
When this life force reaches 0, they die.
The value of life force differs for each person, and they must use defense to reduce damage and prevent their life force from being depleted.
However, life force reduction from curses cannot be prevented unless the curse is purified.
“Items! What about items?!”
“Here’s a potion!”
Detox Potion.
They hastily drank the Detox Potions.
However, the curse remained unbroken.
“Damn it! A Rare Grade Detox Potion doesn’t work?!”
“I guess we need to drink an Epic Grade Potion…”
“We don’t have many Achievement points either!”
“Where’s the necromancer!”
“We need to catch the necromancer!”
They changed targets and searched for the necromancer who summoned the ghosts, but the necromancer was nowhere to be seen.
That wasn’t the only problem.
“Kugh!”
One of the ghosts struck down on a user’s head with the hammer it was holding.
A ghost capable of physical attacks?!
How could such a thing exist in this world!
“This is insane! A ghost is hitting people!”
“What is this? How is this possible!”
“Health! My health keeps dropping!”
Seeing the users in chaos, Kim Bong Gu’s confidence surged.
‘Those are on our side!’
It was certain since the ghosts didn’t touch Kim Bong Gu.
Kim Bong Gu waved his middle finger at the users and shouted.
“Hey, you idiots! Why don’t you get lost?! Keep causing trouble and you’ll really die!”
“That bastard really!”
The users were furious at Kim Bong Gu’s attitude, but as the ghosts charged at them, they had no choice but to get back in their vehicles.
Then the ghosts started pounding the vehicles with their fists.
Bang! Bang!
Eventually, the remaining users couldn’t hold out and left Namsan.
Then, as if nothing had happened, the ghosts disappeared.
“Hehe! Those vermin, did they think they could do anything about my necromancy with just that much?”
Michael, who had been hiding in the grassland, poked his head out and grinned wickedly.
‘Users will come in droves. Go and drive them away.’
He had come down and was waiting after receiving Jung Hoon’s orders.
“So you’re the necromancer!”
And Kim Bong Gu, who had been coincidentally watching, pointed his finger at Michael.
“Why? Got a problem with that?”
Michael responded with a sullen expression.
Honestly, he didn’t like Kim Bong Gu.
That wickedly cunning face reminded him of Jiru, the black mage who had once toyed with him.
Unlike himself who learned necromancy, that bastard pursued the Ultimate Curse.
With those rotten dead fish eyes, how much he wanted to kill him every time he disparaged necromancy.
Grind.
When Michael ground his teeth once, Kim Bong Gu’s shoulders flinched.
“Ah, no… I just thought it would be nice to get along since we’re on the same team.”
“Get along? Shut up before I sew those lips shut!”
“Eek! I’m sorry…”
* * *
At the same time.
Before preparing for the next Monster Wave, Yeo Min Ji closed her eyes and tried to imitate Jung Hoon’s Fist Technique from memory.
However, unlike what Jung Hoon had shown, the Fist Technique she displayed felt somewhat bland.
How exactly could she perform such clean and powerful Fist Techniques?
Also, there was the biggest problem.
‘As expected… doing it this way reduces the impact even more.’
Martial Artists learn new skills after their 3rd job advancement, but activating those skills requires certain conditions.
Namely, combos and damage.
You must build up combos step by step with normal attacks and exceed a certain amount of accumulated damage to activate skills, which is the biggest reason why Martial Artist performance is called trash.
Yeo Min Ji had invested everything in impact to compensate for such weaknesses.
No matter how excellent your movements are, if you can’t activate skills, it’s just a pretty but useless thing.
However, focusing on impact caused her to lose precision.
That’s why when enemies of a higher level than her appeared, her win rate was close to zero.
If she didn’t have such weaknesses, she could have climbed 50 steps, no, 100 steps higher than now.
But Jung Hoon possessed both of those qualities.
‘Jung Hoon is different.’
Jung Hoon’s Fist Technique was on a different level of destructive power.
Each and every punch exceeded the damage of combat skills from other job classes.
To simply call it the power of skills, each movement was far too precise.
In every aspect, Jung Hoon was several levels above her.
If they sparred under equal conditions, she would probably lose.
It would be a lie to say her pride wasn’t hurt, but having witnessed his Fist Technique firsthand, she honestly acknowledged it.
Quickly acknowledging the difference in talent was the first challenge to moving forward to the next stage.
‘I need Jung Hoon.’
He was convinced once again.
That Jung Hoon would become a teacher who could perfectly complement his weaknesses.
[The 2nd Monster Wave will begin.]
Unfortunately, the 2nd Wave had started.
“Po, Poison Beetles?!”
Ha Jin was shocked.
The ones that appeared this time were Lv.140 Poison Beetles.
There were as many as 30 Poison Beetles.
Each one was so massive that their bodies reached 3 meters in size.
The poison they spewed had the property of melting people, making them very tricky monsters to hunt.
“Everyone fall back.”
Anima was already gripped in Jung Hoon’s hand.
Then he drew the bowstring and aimed toward the ceiling.
Hissssss-
At that moment, one of the Poison Beetles sprayed poison gas at Jung Hoon.
“Hey! It’s dangerous!”
Ha Jin screamed out, but Jung Hoon’s body had already been engulfed by the poison gas.
In that instant.
Whoooosh!
The drawn bowstring was released and the arrow shot toward the Poison Beetle.
