Episode 44

coo uh!

A six-meter adult ogre roars and lunges at you.

As the huge body weighing several tons spurred the ground, the ground vibrated and leaves fell.

The ogre flew in a low parabolic arc and struck down the fisted arm like a hammer.

‘Slow.’

Although it is a fast movement that surpasses a skilled warrior, it felt slow enough to allow me to relax.

He lowered his stance and threw himself forward to the left.

With the sound of cutting the wind, the ogre’s arm slammed to the ground.

He took out his silver sword and swung it in a semicircle to the right.

The ogre’s wrist was cut off, and red blood gushed out like a bursting dam.

At the same time, screams filled with pain and anger echoed through the forest.

The ogre rotated his upper body to the right and swung his blood-spurting arm.

But I’ve already passed him.

He turned his body around and lightly kicked the ground.

He flew up into the air and swung his silver sword horizontally.

Ugh.

The hard blade of the true silver sword cut through the ogre’s neck.

An ogre’s neck is thicker than the blade of a true silver sword.

It was impossible to slash at once, but it was enough to sever the neck bone.

The ogre’s head, barely clinging to his neck, was knocked over his chest by the violent spurting of blood.

The red blood that gushed out like a fountain shimmered like a jewel in the sunlight.

Soon after, the ogre lost its balance and fell to the floor with a heavy impact sound.

After wiping off the blood remaining on the sword, he stored the sword.

I took out the dagger I got from Simon and cut through the ogre’s back.

After a while, the ogre was completely naked, with red muscles exposed.

It’s been 20 days since I left Erita.

In the meantime, he devoted himself to hunting without rest.

Five ogres have been hunted so far.

At first, due to lack of skill, it was easy to tear off the skin and eat it.

However, now I have mastered myself, and I was able to avoid scratching the leather.

My current location is near the old troll habitat.

When traveling with colleagues, it took ten days one way, but when traveling alone, I was able to arrive in less than two days.

If you count the time to return to Erita, it is equivalent to hunting 5 ogres in 22 days.

I would have hunted more ogres if I hadn’t wasted my time searching.

This was a tremendous hunting speed that even master warriors could not follow.

A warrior without mana is no different from an ordinary person who is good at fighting.

No matter how skilled a warrior is, he cannot use his mana mind all day long.

In order to recover the consumed mana, you have to use the simbeop, and apart from the mana, you have to take a break whenever the fatigue of the body accumulates.

It was impossible to demonstrate the same athletic ability that always maintained mana like me.

To be honest, I didn’t expect my hunting speed to be this fast.

Since he had to hunt alone for a long time, he also bought a talisman for alertness for a safe rest.

‘But there’s nothing to write about.’

Even during my introductory period, I went to Sub-Dimension at least once a day to adjust my condition.

When I didn’t sleep for 3 days after defeating Wilmot and the others in the past, I felt fatigue, although it wasn’t too bad.

However, now that I have reached the level of skill.

Even after hunting for ten days without a sigh of sleep, he did not feel great fatigue.

The only rest I’ve taken so far is a visit to the Sub-Dimension 10 days ago.

‘But I’m a bit tired now.’

But it wasn’t to the extent that I couldn’t stand it again.

I even thought about going to sub-dimension, but I was holding back to test the limits.

There was no need to worry about what could have caused this.

‘Yongcheonsu.’

As the body was strengthened, endurance and resilience rapidly increased incomparably before.

Even if you run around all day, if you take a break for a while, the fatigue will go away.

The strengthening effect of spring water was not limited to the body, but also affected the mind.

Mental strength and mental strength were similar but different.

Mental strength is the strength of the body, while mental strength is the strength of the soul.

The two are complementary to each other, but from a broader perspective, mental strength combined with mental strength.

If mental power is concentration, mental power can be called willpower.

If you have a strong will, you can gather your distracted concentration again, but it was the same reason that concentration does not create a will that was not there.

As the power of the heart strengthened, the ability of the pocket watch also changed.

Until I reached the proficiency class, I thought I was using mental power to activate the pocket watch.

However, now that the distinction between mental strength and mental strength has become clearer, I realized that the activation of the pocket watch consumes mental strength.

‘The charging time has decreased.’

It’s subtle, but it’s clear that the reuse time of the pocket watch has been shortened.

The time I can stay in the sub-dimension is about 2 hours.

Even in that short period of time, I was able to obtain the effect of training far ahead of others.

However, the cycle has become faster.

‘Of course, it’s useless now.’

In order to see the changed effect, the priority was to obtain mana simbeop.

I rolled up the ogre’s skin tightly and pressed it into my backpack, then pulled out the right buck tooth and put it in the subspace pocket.

The subspace pocket, the bag I was using, and even the backpack I bought were all filled with ogre skin.

There was no more room to contain it, so it was time to return to Erita.

two days later.

Arriving near Erita, I changed into the same clothes as when I left.

The large backpack was on his back, and the bag he was using was on his chest.

The sky was already dark when I entered the castle after completing the return report.

I decided to settle the by-products tomorrow and went straight back to the inn.

After taking a bath, I thought about what to do.

If it was like before, I would have trained mana simbeop, but I couldn’t do that, so there was nothing to do.

The time when I was killing time alone.

someone knocked on the door

‘what? There is no one to come.’

I knew someone was coming, but I didn’t know it was a guest who came to visit me.

In preparation for an unexpected situation, I packed a silver sword and a subspace pouch.

‘huh?’

When I opened the door, an unexpected person was standing in front of the door.

The red-haired man was wearing only a short fur coat, exposing his upper body as if he did not care even in the cold weather.

It was Jerome.

“Seeing it up close, I’m more coveted.”

Jerome raised one corner of his mouth and stared at me with strange eyes.

It was similar to the look in the eyes of a man who found the opposite s*x he liked.

I wasn’t feeling quite right.

“Even if I sent a subordinate, I came directly because there was no message. Shall we talk for a while?”

Jerome looked inside the room.

It was a sight that wanted to come inside.

‘Absolutely not.’

I didn’t want to mix things up as much as possible, but that didn’t mean I could neglect the master gyeong warrior who was reputed to be a madman.

“Well, it’s okay for a while. Let’s go to the first floor.”

The first floor of the inn is a restaurant and rest area.

When I came down to the first floor, Thomas and the thugs were standing in a line on one side.

There were bruises on Thomas’ face.

In addition, the area that was hit was swollen, so it was incomprehensible.

Jerome looked at me with a bad smile, his crossed legs slanted on the table.

As we sat down at the table, Jerome spoke up.

“Because I’m not the type to talk back. Be my lover. If there’s anything you want, I’ll listen to it.”

I felt an instinctive displeasure at the man’s active courtship.

“I’m sorry, but I’m not interested in men. And I don’t really want anything.”

Jerome’s face wrinkled at my refusal.

“I don’t know what kind of offer I’m making. Think again. It’s a chance to get a lot of money that you won’t be able to touch even if you work for the rest of your life.”

There will be plenty of men around who will accept Jerome’s offer for the sake of wealth and glory.

But that wasn’t the case for me at all.

I did not want to have a long conversation, so I presented extreme conditions.

“Really? Then, if you can get me two things, I’ll consider it.”

“Which one? Just tell me.”

“Barding. And top-notch mana simbeop.”

Jerome made a dumbfounded face at my answer, and then he ate and laughed.

“The best mana sim method for barding? Do you think you’re worth that much?”

“Value is relative.”

I looked at Jerome with an expression asking what I was going to do.

“hahahahaha! It’s fun, it’s fun. Yes, easy guys aren’t attractive. But I can’t accept such absurd conditions. Instead, Jin will give you armor and advanced mana sims. Even that alone will cost you tens of thousands of gold coins to get it. . how is it?”

How much is one gold coin worth?

Compared to my previous life, it felt like more than 10 million won.

In other words, Jerome offered hundreds of billions to have me.

But no matter what conditions Jerome put forward, my answer was fixed.

“I’m sorry, but I don’t need anything else.”

At that moment, a deep gorge dug between Jerome’s forehead.

It’s a funny story, but it was cool to see a handsome guy make an impression.

“Do you know how respectful I am to you?

“Anyway, those two things are what I need. I don’t think there’s anything more to say, so let’s get up.”

From noble mtl dot com

He said he would go, but he cautiously moved his hand toward the Jineun sword.

If you play nonsense, he won’t be able to get out of the body.

But fortunately, nothing to worry about happened.

“Go if you want. But you’d better not expect the same kind of favor when you see me again. I’m intolerant of what isn’t mine.”

Jerome made a meaningful expression.

“Enough then.”

After saying goodbye briefly, I went to my room.

I’m not going to sleep tonight just in case.

Because my body is precious

The morning sun was bright.

I took the ogre’s by-products and went to Uncle Kit’s shop.

I spent time chatting with the staff at the word that there was a guest who came first.

Recently, Uncle Kit had an increasing number of managed customers.

‘This is all thanks to me.’

To apply for an auction, you need an item worth at least 100 gold coins.

Brokering the auction means that mercenaries with that much skill come to trust and entrust the transaction.

His career as an auction broker has been a great strength in attracting clients.

After a while.

The guest left and went up to the study.

Uncle Kit got up as soon as he saw me.

“What kind of luggage did you bring with you? Sit down here for now.”

As we sat down at the table, Mr. Kit said apologetically.

“The request for mana simbeop is still in progress. By the way, as I said, it is not easy to obtain a simbeop of advanced level or higher, so it seems that it will cost extra. .

“Thank you. Please don’t worry about the cost and find out. I’ll ask you to settle the bill first.”

Without hesitation, I took out an ogre hide from my bag.

What I want is to hide my identity as much as possible during the auction process.

Since the auction is conducted anonymously, the identity of the auctioneer will not be revealed as long as the mouths of a few people are carefully controlled.

If I had to entrust the auction to someone anyway, it was more reliable to deal with Uncle Kit, who I knew, than to find someone else.

Uncle Kit stroked the ogre hide a few times, then put his nose to it and sniffed it.

“It’s ogre skin.”

To hunt an ogre, you must gather at least 10 skilled warriors.

Of course, as much as the physical ability itself was overwhelmingly different, life could not be guaranteed.

At least two skilled warriors and a wizard were needed to safely capture the ogre.

Common sense would make no sense for a silver mercenary to bring ogre skins alone.

Even so, Uncle Kit had a calm expression on his face.

“Yes. But you’re not surprised?”

“I’m surprised.”

“You don’t look like that at all.”

“I should have seen so many surprises thanks to you. I decided to accept anything related to you in the future.

“Yes. I hunted alone.”

At my answer, Uncle Kit crossed one arm and stroked my chin.

“I want to endure it, but I can’t understand it. Didn’t you say that you reached the master’s level a while ago?

After a moment of silence, I spoke out what I had prepared.
