Chapter 17
to try to attract talent
Minhyuk is now somewhat familiar with the geography of the Abyssal Forest.
Of course, it was not possible to determine the geography of all these massive forests, but now I have a feeling about the northeast, the southwest, and the northwest.
It is to remember the direction in which the plants grow, or the special terrain that sometimes appears, and use it as an indicator.
‘I need to make a map of the right liver sometime. It’ll help. ’
Min Hyuk skillfully confiscated his thoughts and walked through the forest.
George followed behind and Lee Jin-wook at the rear.
You put George, the most defenseless wizard, in the middle of the party.
Min-hyuk glances back and checks occasionally to see if the group’s gap has not spread.
He nods, watching George follow behind him.
‘Glad you followed me so well. ’
There was an image of a wizard being reduced in stamina.
Minhyuk was worried about George’s health because walking the unpacked, rough forest path was more physical than he thought.
However, George has been trained as an adventurer since his youth.
The technique of walking with less stamina may be reduced, but it was better than Min Hyuk or Lee Jin-wook.
It was a happy mistake as a min-hyuk.
So Minhyuk stepped through the outer rim of the Abyssal Forest and into the uncharted area.
I met a group of Goblins while I was moving like that, but now the Goblins are not a difficult opponent for Min Hyuk and Lee Jin-wook.
In the beginning, it was absurd of me to have been atrophied against such feeble enemies.
So, Min-hyuk crossed the outer rim of what Min-hyuk called Goblin territory a little bit further in.
In the Abyssal Forest, there are more powerful monsters as you move inward.
Orcs sometimes appear from the outer corners of the forest, but that’s just how often lost Orcs appear everywhere.
If you decided to hunt the real Orcs, you’d have to go to the realm where the Orcs are coming from.
Min-hyuk and his group finally enter the Orc realm and find the Orcs they were aiming for.
“Taking advantage ·. Gain · · · ·. ”
“Takeover · · · ·. ”
The first Orcs I found were five.
What do we do? ’
Min-hyuk hesitated for a moment because he had more numbers than he thought. But I couldn’t back down until I got here.
Previous information has been meticulously prepared, and today I’m here to catch Orcs.
With Lee Jin-wook and his experience of catching up to three, he had to be able to afford five with more power.
Otherwise, there was absolutely no reason to come here.
‘Let’s get started.’
When Min-hyuk looked up, George began to prosper. Then he pulled out his crossbow behind Min Hyuk and Lee Jin-wook.
Fortunately, the direction of the wind was blowing this way, so the Orcs’ sharp sense of smell did not seem to recognize the enemy.
And finally George’s magic was cast away.
“Magic missiles!! ”
Purperfuck!!
“Take advantage!! ”
“Take advantage!!? ”
The flying stick of light hits two of the five Orcs.
One hits the head, and the other hits one through the body and knee.
And there, they took cover with Min Hyuk and Lee Jin-wook.
Phew! Phew!!
“Takeover! Humans!! ”
“Hostile!! Take advantage!!”
The Orcs suddenly find the enemy and rush toward you with terror.
“Keep firing!! ”
“I know!! ”
George was casting again, and Min Hyuk and Lee Jin-wook continued to load crossbows.
Min-hyuk thought to himself as he fired his crossbow again.
Given the speed at which the Orcs run, the speed at which Min Hyuk and Lee Jin-wook are loading crossbows, and the distance on either side, the number of times they can fire is only two or three.
I’ve worked hard to speed up the crossbow a little, but now I’m at my limit.
For a normal bow, depending on the amount of practice used, it was faster than a crossbow, but it was also better in terms of power.
Crossbows were easier to handle than ordinary bows, as long as they were not high-quality archers.
And if you aim calmly, you could pierce the thick hide of an Orc and inflict a fatal wound.
‘Calm down. Calm down. ’
Before going into battle with them, it was Min-hyuk’s heart that wanted to reduce the number by one.
So Min-hyuk aimed calmly at the crossbow and aimed at the target.
The man with the target in front of him.
You know, hitting them in the arms, legs, and torso won’t be fatal.
Critically focused head to aim at.
But he knows that too, so he’s running with his thick arms over his face.
It was Min-hyuk who was experiencing difficulties with his aim, but at that time, an arrow fired from the Orc was pierced through his torso.
Phew!
“Take advantage!!? ”
The Orc hit by the arrow is startled for a moment and lowers its arm reflexively.
And Min-hyuk reacted reflectively without missing the timing.
Take it!
Rrrrgh!!
The arrows fired by Min-hyuk hit the Orc’s glabella.
“Queek!! ”
An orc with a deep glabellar arrow falls to the ground screaming.
Even if an Orc’s skull is thick, a crossbow can be pierced if hit in the eye at some distance.
And as the one in front fell, the other Orcs staggered for a moment.
That’s when George’s second casting ended.
“Magic missiles!! ”
Pupperfoot!! ”
The three sticks flew away again, and Lee Jin-hyuk and Lee fired crossbows again in line with them.
Phew! Phew!
“Take advantage!! ”
“Queeeek!! ”
One of the Orcs gave the go-ahead back for this attack.
An arrow flew into his neck while being hit by a magic missile.
And now that the distance was close enough, Min Hyuk abandoned his crossbow and drew his sword.
“Come on!! ”
“Yes!! ”
Five Orcs have fallen to three.
And none of the three Orcs were healthy.
Now, Min-hyuk, who thought he was curious, ran without hesitation.
“Ouch!! ”
“Die!!! ”
Min-hyuk and Lee Jin-wook, who were injured, ran against the Orcs by flying.
“Take advantage!! Human!!? ”
“Kill you, mortal!! Takeover!!”
Orcs were initially pushed out of their minds, but later reacted with a monster-specific ferocity.
Orcs were wounded, but the small pain was being ignored by the monstrous ferocity and showed tremendous struggle.
Caew!!
Min-hyuk slammed the Orc’s stone axe with his sword and put his tongue to the heavy senses in his arm.
‘Tsk. It’s not worth it. ’
I understood why Orcs were real monsters.
However, Minhyuk was also a foreigner who was gifted a user-intermediate martial arts talent.
You fought well against the Orcs without losing much.
And Min Hyuk and Lee Jin-wook were able to fight the Orcs by keeping each other safe because they had a good breath while working as a combination.
“Taking advantage ·. Die, Human!! ”
“Die!! ”
It looked like a stalemate, but the advantages were Min Hyuk and Lee Jin-wook.
“Magic missiles!! ”
It was not the first time that Min-hyuk could be so pleased with the voice of a middle-aged woman.
After casting George, a wand of light flew over the head of an Orc who was confronting Minhyuk.
Phew!!
“Take advantage!! ”
The Orc hit his head with a heavy thump. Min-hyuk, who was in opposition, swung his sword without aiming for the gap.
“Suck!! ”
Argh!!
“Queek!! ”
The blade of Min-hyuk swinging horizontally cut the orc’s neck in half.
“Glug glug. ”
The orc that was cut with the airway and esophagus collapsed, making a sound of wind.
Kuang!!
As soon as Min Hyuk defeated the Orcs, Lee Jin-wook finished one, too.
Bang!!
Likewise, they cut down George’s Magic Missile without aiming for a loophole.
“One left!! ”
“George, I don’t need magic anymore, so save your breath. ”
Min Hyuk and Lee Jin-wook collaborated on a better orc.
“Takeover · · · ·. Human coward · · · ·. Take advantage!! ”
Orcs complained about cowardice in the joint between Min Hyuk and Lee Jin-wook, but how can that possibly work?
“I started with five to two. You want to bullshit me? ”
Hearing Lee Jin-wook speaking back to the Orcs, Min Hyuk thought.
‘Technically, it’s five to three. ’
It was Lee Jin-wook who forgot George.
After all, I didn’t need George’s help if one orc was the enemy.
Min-hyuk and Lee Jin-wook surrounded each other and slaughtered the orcs quickly.
“Jin-wook. Don’t cut your back so far. ”
“I know. ”
They had the time to fight, worrying about the degraded value of Orc hide.
And finally, Lee Jin-wook slashed the orc’s back knee firmly.
“Take advantage!!
Min-hyuk aimed at the neck of the Orcs and swung his sword as hard as he could without missing the moment when his knee was sharply bent.
Uahhhhhh!!
At the perfect interval, Min-hyuk’s attack with theft severed the Orc’s neck.
Toowook!!
The head of an Orc who could not even scream the last step fell to the ground.
“Oh · · · ·. That was a good last hit. It’s like a critical hit with a game. ”
“You try. Dude.”
Min-hyuk and Lee Jin-wook smiled and wiped the blood off the sword.
I’ve been doing this habitually since I learned that it’s difficult to manage weapons unless I clean the blood right away.
“Good work, George. ”
“Mmm-hmm. Let’s get this over with and get out of here. The smell of Orcs’ blood makes me sick. ”
“Oh! Right. ”
I collected the corpses of Minhyuk and Lee Jin-wook and quickly skinned their back skins, and I took some useful products from them.
Most Orcs use crude stone axes, but some of them steal and use human weapons.
Even though he was a little more dangerous, he was able to get even the bonus of being a byproduct.
Immediately after taking the monster’s byproducts, Min-hyuk and his group leave.
The bodies of the Orcs that have been abandoned will go back to the forest.
