‘It’s a provocation, but what’s more noteworthy is that it can instantly kill the opponent with one blow.’
Han Hyun-jung, who was watching the situation, thought. It is no longer surprising that Sang-hyeon possesses various abnormal status skills.
Of course, I never thought he would have a provocation skill, but I thought it was possible because he was Sang-Hyeon.
What surprised Han Hyun-jung was the state of the monster that died from one blow. That meant the damage was sufficient.
Although it was a mental monster and had low durability, it wasn’t something that could be killed that easily.
This is because the ones that usually control this entire space have defense adjustments to increase stability.
But Sang-Hyeon’s first attack was the last attack for the Yokai. That meant…
‘In terms of instantaneous damage, this means that Mr. Sang-Hyeon has a solid repertoire. For the inspection team, having instant damage skills is really important.’
It also means that the value of Sang-Hyeon is increasing.
It is true that she also learned a lot about Sang-Hyeon and signed a sponsorship contract.
It wasn’t like I was seeing through everything.
In fact, the media also paid a lot of attention to Sang-Hyeon’s various ‘abnormal status’ skills, and public opinion was actually the same.
Some people have even belittled the value of Sang-Hyeon by making derogatory remarks about him, calling him a shuttle with abnormal status.
But now, the appearance of Sang-Hyeon that Han Hyeon-Jeong saw was like the abnormal condition was more like a bonus.
It’s not that there are ‘only’ abnormal statuses, but rather, it feels like there are ‘also’ abnormal statuses?
Srrrrrrrr… … .
With the death of the monster, the surrounding environment that seemed to be filled with abundance and happiness was completely swept away.
Then what filled the space was.
There were mountains of corpses piled high in all directions.
The corpses were piled high, like the Wailing Wall. Not to mention the stench.
“Two of the three paths are safe, and the other one has colorless, odorless, toxic fumes.”
Han Hyun-jung called attention to this.
This was something that was said during the briefing, but it was good to emphasize it again, because it is something that is often forgotten.
“The method used by the advance party was to drink expensive detox potions while advancing, right?”
“That’s right. There was no way to tell. Since similar smoke was flowing out from the safe zone, it couldn’t be detected even with the scope.”
“I have my own thoughts. Would you trust me? It might take some time, though.”
“Now that the two of you are here, if I don’t trust Sang-Hyeon, who can I trust?”
“Please just buff me.”
Han Hyeon-jeong was a reconnaissance team member and also a buff team member. However, she was a little different from Do Kyung-hye, who was also a buffer team member.
If Do Kyung-hye is specialized in strengthening damage and defense.
Han Hyun-jung specialized in attribute buffs.
For example, it is a form of strengthening the power of the rising air current by giving a wind attribute buff to Sang-Hyeon.
So, it was very efficient in strategic situations where the power of the attribute had to be maximized.
◎ The Fury of the Storm
◎ Wind attribute-based skill damage increased by 50%.
The buff came right in.
It was useless for players without attribute skills, but for Sang-Hyeon, it was a buff with a completely different meaning.
“then…….”
Sang-Hyeon stopped at the center of a three-way intersection. This was a safe zone where noxious smoke could reach.
Han Hyun-jung tried to stop Sang-hyeon by saying something, but then closed her mouth. She wanted to see what he was thinking.
“Let’s take it easy.”
『Steel Storm』
Sang-Hyeon immediately started activating his skill. A precious and powerful skill obtained from the God of Storms!
Kugugugu! Kugugugu!
As soon as the skill was cast, a huge whirlwind storm began to form around Sang-Hyeon.
It felt as if the upper body was placed as a central frame, and the wind was spinning strongly around it.
‘Focus, focus… … .’
With both eyes closed.
Sang-Hyeon concentrated all his mind to amplify the power of the wind revolving around him.
Mana continued to be consumed by 10, and the wind did not lose stability under the active control of the upper spirit.
How much time has passed like that?
Kugogogo… … !
A huge tornado, like something out of a disaster movie, began to rotate violently around Sang-Hyeon.
The power was so strong that Han Hyun-jung had to take a dozen steps back.
However, the appearance of Sang-Hyeon, who was sitting in the center, was calm as if he was lost in meditation.
and.
Quagagagaga!
The steel storm, which had grown in size, finally began to cover the mountain of corpses. It was a literal head-on collision.
Kagagak! Kagagak!
There were several scraping sounds.
Thud thud thud!
As the solid gaps between the entangled corpses opened, corpses began to scatter in all directions.
“This is… … .”
Han Hyun-jung’s eyes widened.
This is because I never thought of this method. In a way, it was the wisest method.
Because it is so rare, there is no need to proceed while drinking potions that cost over hundreds of millions per bottle.

Han Hyun-jung was able to sense Sang-hyeon’s trick.
‘We’re just trying to reduce the density of the toxic smoke by destroying the wall of the corpse. That way, we’ll have more space.’
Kookwakwakwakwang!
Soon, the wall of corpses, with their center of gravity lost, collapsed forward like dominoes.
A space that seemed like an impenetrable wall had been transformed into a wide-open space!
Pushshushush! Pushshushush!
Then, the location where the toxic smoke was naturally flowing out was revealed.
Additionally, undead monsters hiding in the cracks of the walls or nearby were discovered.
They were so weak that they would shatter if even Sang-Hyeon’s True Demon Sword just brushed past them.
“Sometimes, such an ignorant method works well.”
Sang-Hyeon looked at Han Hyeon-Jeong and smiled. He said she was ignorant, but Han Hyeon-Jeong thought differently.
‘This means that depending on what skills you have, you can break common sense.’
That’s it.
Since you have the skill to create power that can break down a solid wall, you can also change your thinking.
‘If this continues, I’ll fall in love.’
Han Hyun-jung smiled.
Although I liked him as a player and not as a person, I was envious of Sang-Hyeon’s versatility.
How many players would actually think of breaking down the wall? It would be a very small minority.
“Okay, now it’s Master’s time. My eyesight is really bad.”
“Until now, I’ve only taken the bus and done the buff shuttle. It’s finally time to earn some money for a meal. Haha.”
Han Hyun-jung took the lead.
Skill, high magnification observation.
It is a reconnaissance skill that allows for close observation that makes even the most advanced telescopes go to waste.
There is no player in the entire world who can be observed at a higher magnification than Han Hyun-jung.
The important thing in a labyrinth is collaboration.
As the time of ‘strength’ is over.
Now the time of ‘eyes’ has begun.
* * *
The entrance to the labyrinth is always structured in a way that forces you to make a choice.
Usually, you are given two or three paths and asked to choose one.
Then there are one or two safe routes, but each time the location changes and there is no correct answer.
Even though the leftmost path was a safe route this time, it could become a trap route next time.
The same thing happened this time when Han Hyeon-jeong and Sang-hyeon met.
There are three paths in total.
Among them, two safe routes had nothing on the way, but they were complete swamps, so you had to be careful when moving.
One of the trap routes was on solid flat ground, but there was a carnivore plant called ‘Beltas’ hiding inside the path.
The problem is that you can’t tell whether it’s a swamp or a plain just by looking at it. It’s an illusion.
“I found the safe route. Left and right. The middle is a trap. I can see a slight unevenness in the ground.”
“Wow… I have no idea what I’m looking at. How do you figure it out?”
“Isn’t it a bit rude to players who reached level 500 by just playing Snowball? Haha.”
That’s right.
The reason Han Hyun-jung was able to grow even in the harsh conditions of no killing was because of her usefulness.
Seeing what others cannot see.
The attribute buff allows each person to do 1.5 or 2 servings instead of 1.
For that alone, Han Hyun-jung’s value was high, and that was why she was a player who received attention from the world.
“Should we dress comfortably for now?”
Han Hyun-jung took off the outerwear she was wearing. It was because of the swamp.
It’s a place that you have to get out of anyway. It can’t avoid getting dirty, so you try to minimize the amount of clothing you have on.
When Sang-Hyeon went to get the blood-drinking sword in the past, the way he moved through the swamp was exactly the same.
Sang-Hyeon initially responded to Han Hyeon-Jeong’s strategy with that kind of intention, but… … he felt something was lacking.
“Master.”
“yes?”
“I just had a good idea.”
“… … Are you suddenly feeling anxious?”
Han Hyun-jung made a joke.
I have never felt anxious since I came in with Sang-Hyeon. He was full of confidence from the beginning.
But expectations were high.
Every time, with a change of perspective, I wondered if Sang-Hyeon had another trick to overcome the situation.
“If you go down the road where Beltas is, there’s no reason to take all your clothes off. There’s no reason for us to see each other naked, right?”
“That’s true, but are you really embarrassed? Isn’t it too late for us to react to naked bodies at our age?”
“Haha, that’s not it. I just thought there might be a way to get there on foot.”
“I always respect Mr. Jeon Sang-Hyeon’s opinion. Try it! I will help you with all my might!”
“Okay, then.”
Sang-Hyeon has taken his place on the trap route. Since the path bends in the middle, Beltas is not immediately visible.
Sang-Hyeon asked.
“Just tell me where Beltas is. You can draw a rough sketch or gesture in the air.”
“Wait a minute. Let me take another look.”
Han Hyun-jung examined the wall with one of her skills, hyper-sight.
He was also rare for his ability to see beyond what was blocking him.
and.
Sssssss. Ssssss. Ssssss.
She took out a crumpled white piece of paper from her pocket, crumpled it into an appropriate length, and pressed it down to change it.
“It’s here.”
It gave me the exact location.
“If this guy weren’t guarding the intersection, that road would be good enough to take. Right?”
“That’s true. Since Beltas is a being that can suddenly change the shape of the road, if you can kill him, it’s a completely safe route.”
『Whirlwind of Storms』
Sang-Hyeon, who was standing, immediately started preparing for a whirlwind dance.
Beltas, positioned in a square, was in a position that could never be hit with normal skills.
It has been proven in previous attacks that even magic skills with fairly good curvature are unable to hit.
but.
‘It’s different if you have the billiard skills of the old days!’
Sang-Hyeon was staring at a different location on the street that had nothing to do with where Beltas was.
Just bounce it off!
Using the angle, he found the perfect position to land a cool blow to Beltas’s torso.
and.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of violent wind condensations, starting from the True Sword, began to be launched one after another.
A total of 5 consecutive hits!
It was a cool combo that consumed 500 mana without reserve.
Easy!
Then comes the sound of a crack.
Fight!
A heavy first impact and reflection.
Taang!
Slightly lighter feeling, but still powerful collisions and reflections.
Then!
Phew!
Kkieeeeeeeeee… … !
A loud scream that was unmistakable to anyone who heard it was from Beltas erupted from within the blind spot.
Pufufufu!
The following four consecutive perfect hits were a bonus.
A special trap route strategy that no one had ever thought of. It was the moment when Sang-Hyeon opened a new horizon.
“… … .”
Han Hyun-jung was speechless.
