‘It’s no use to just kill the undead for a hundred days, because they’ll come back to life. In the end, the battle will end only when you blow away their torsos.’
The target that Sang-Hyeon was rushing towards while braving the cold wave was not the horde of undead, but the being behind them.
Frozen Mage.
An undead wizard specializing in freezing.
‘I trained hard with Ham Ji-yeon because of this guy.’
If we don’t want the hard work and effort we’ve put in with Ham Ji-yeon over the past five days to be in vain, we have to kill that guy.
It’s not just because he’s a wizard.
It acts as a control tower that issues commands to the entire horde of undead within its sphere of influence.
In airport terms, it’s like a control tower.
Of course, he wasn’t a pushover, as befitting his name as a Frozen Mage. That was why Sang-Hyeon was in a hurry.
『Downdraft』
Kookung!
First, he cast a downward current towards the undeads moving in front.
Since the last trouble, there has been no word from the Storm God, so I wondered if the skill had been recovered.
Fortunately, that wasn’t the case.
The normally activated downward current caused the retreating ghouls to experience a status abnormality of enhanced gravity.
Quo!
Many of the ghouls were crushed and flattened, as if they had been pressed down by a press.
Among them, those with low durability died instantly with their bodies crushed in that state.
Because the ghoul was weak? No.
The power of the descending current implemented by Sang-Hyeon was that strong.
Meanwhile, at the moment when the Ghoul was under gravity reinforcement, the red light in the skill window’s law of the jungle skill was activated.
It means it is available for use.
『Survival of the fittest』
Phew!
As soon as the skill was activated, Sang-Hyeon’s body instantly moved 7 meters and landed right in front of the ghoul’s nose.
Crunch!
I cut off the ghoul’s head with a basic attack that was so useless that I didn’t even bother using a skill. It was a clean decapitation.
The law of the jungle is reset.
『Survival of the fittest』
Sang-Hyeon switched his target to another ghoul that had just been exposed to the downward current attack.
It was a repetition of the same pattern.
A method of applying abnormal status to ghouls in the path of movement and then closing the distance using the law of the jungle.
“… … .”
The Frozen Mage’s gaze deepened as he saw the shadow of the upper body move 7 meters closer.
Is it reckless or confident?
I felt a sense of incongruity at the sight of Sang-Hyeon only moving forward despite the countless undead hordes behind him.
At that moment.
Sang-Hyeon, who had narrowed the distance to a certain extent, extended one hand towards the Frozen Mage.
『Death Touch』
It was the death touch.
It was an absolute summon that definitely pulled in the opponent, using 500 mana!
Kook!
The Frozen Mage was instantly dragged towards Sang-Hyeon without even having time to prepare himself. It was a complete letdown.
I never imagined that the inspector would have such a grabbing skill.
It was a completely unexpected move that wasn’t even on the list of unexpected variables.
* * *
Same time.
“Gahee, is that the wizard you’re dealing with right now? Am I seeing it?”
“that’s right…….”
Jeong Jun-hyeok and Lee Ga-hee were looking at the back of Sang-hyeon, who had rushed into battle, with dumbfounded expressions.
Sang-Hyeon cleverly cuts through the horde of undead and then immediately confronts the Frozen Mage.
This was done by using a skill that forcibly summoned a Frozen Mage who was quite far away!
“No, if the inspector player has a grab skill, the enemy they are fighting against is just going to die, what the… … .”
Whether they are magic players or monsters.
The only way to gain an advantage against an inspector is through ranged combat, and keeping your distance usually works.
That’s why the inspector players say that they feel like they get PTSD just by looking at magic monsters.
This is because they keep a steady distance and continue to launch fierce attacks.
Then, you had to take the risk of either retreating or rushing in.
But Sang-Hyeon was the opposite.
Instead of giving them a chance to distance themselves, he forcibly pulled them in. This is the worst thing for a wizard.
Because my body isn’t made of steel, and I can’t swing that wicked sword at him with my body.
But right then.
Kkang! Bang! Bang!
After the forcibly brought in Frozen Mage blocked Sang-Hyeon’s repeated greatsword attacks with an ice wall.
Fight!

He hurled the ice wall forward without hesitation, forcing Sang-Hyeon to retreat. It was a way to buy time.
“Mr. Sang-Hyeon, it’s a spear! An ice spear!”
Jeong Jun-hyeok shouted, having seen through the Frozen Mage’s plan.
In an instant, the ice spear held in the Frozen Mage’s right hand was sharpened to a frightening sharpness.
If things continued like this, Sang-Hyeon could have been hit by the spear and suffered serious injuries since the distance was so close.
The eyes directed towards the scene were not only on Lee Ga-hee and Jeong Jun-hyeok.
While supporting Do Kyung-soo who had rushed into battle, Choi Si-hoo, who had some free time, was also looking at Sang-hyeon.
‘Creative suicide?’
Choi Si-hoo thought so.
What makes Frozen Mages tricky is that they have such great improvisational skills.
It’s still like that now.
A surprise ice spear!
Since this is a skill similar to the Frozen Mage’s ultimate attack, it cannot be blocked by any defensive skill.
Even Do Kyung Soo had a precedent of being penetrated by the Frozen Mage even when using the defensive skill ‘Sword Protection’.
So, from the beginning, we were judging that pushing the Frozen Mage to extremes was dangerous.
This is something that was conveyed to Sang-Hyeon through prior information provision, but it was something he boldly took on.
Of course, Choi Si-hoo did not want to make an issue of it since he had to take responsibility for the challenge himself.
at that time.
Pachiing!
“ah……?”
Choi Si-hoo doubted his eyes.
The ice spear that launched from the Frozen Mage’s hand clearly pierced through the upper body.
There was no doubt that it was a clean penetration. It was so close and there was no room to avoid it.
But Sang-Hyeon was fine.
There was just a difference.
The image of Sang-Hyeon, which had been blurry for a moment, became clearer. It was clearly a change from just now.
“Is this a spatial distortion?”
Choi Si-hoo had no way of knowing that Sang-Hyeon had used the 1.5 second spatial isolation skill, ‘Another Level’.
His mind was filled with question marks. No matter how much he thought about it, he couldn’t even guess how Sang-Hyeon had avoided it…
“Crazy. Are you saying this is spatial isolation?”
I’ve heard of it.
Although I haven’t seen it with my own eyes yet, Chinese player He Yun-gang said he has the ability to isolate.
It is clearly visible to the eye, but in reality it is temporarily isolated in another space.
However, Heo Yun-gang is a ‘space master’ who is well-known even in China. It is not strange that he has a specialized skill.
But Sang-Hyeon is a different story.
Spatial isolation skills for the inspector?
It is a situation where even connecting two words can cause a serious sense of incongruity.
But… …Sang-Hyeon had it.
“fu*k, what the hell is that kid?”
Choi Si-hoo was so shocked by the truth that he swore.
To borrow the expression of Do Kyung-soo, who has been watching him for a long time, it was the best ‘praise’ that Choi Si-hoo could give.
* * *
‘My judgment was not wrong.’
The moment he dodged the ice spear, Sang-Hyeon realized once again the value of his skills.
I thought I must have gained some good skills from the battle with Ivan. I could feel it in my bones!
A gap has arisen in the Frozen Mage.
The time has come to counterattack.
“acceleration”
『Full Bash』
With the use of skills, Sang-Hyeon, who had some distance between him, narrowed the distance by activating ‘Front Charge’.
Since the instantaneous acceleration was properly applied, the destructive power of the full bash was beyond imagination.
Boom!
Ugh!
The Frozen Mage groaned in pain after being struck in the stomach.
Since Sang-Hyeon had stolen the turn, this time he couldn’t defend in any way.
A situation where you really have to hit it with your body.
I even got stiff there.
◎ Stiffness
◎ 1.7 seconds
‘It seems to have the ability to reduce abnormal status. It is applied exactly in half.’
I expected it.
Low-level and lowest-level monsters with almost no skill resistance will be fully affected by the abnormal status duration.
If it’s someone like a Frozen Mage, it’s a different story. You can tell at a glance that they’re mid-boss monsters.
Can you meet the mid-boss monster right from the beginning?
It is possible in large-scale attacks. That is why it is a very difficult attack and there are many casualties.
I had fun cutting it.
1.7 seconds was a good amount of time for Sang-Hyeon to throw in a lot of attacks.
However, I spared the critical combos like Sword of Ruin, Weakness Enhancement, Whisper of the Sage, and Mortal Rage.
After testing it with basic attacks, I calculated that it wouldn’t be possible to finish it off in one hit.
‘I’ve used the power of the undead to strengthen my body, especially my abdomen and chest. How clever.’
He is a thick-boned Sang-Hyeon who has been through many dungeons, gates, and cracks in his previous life.
After attacking a few times, it was easy to figure out which area the opponent specialized in defending.
That’s because the sword doesn’t go in as much, and the opponent’s expression or reaction is dull. It’s tolerable.
at that time.
Kaching!
The sparks that Sang-Hyeon created by intentionally swinging the True Demon Sword diagonally flew to the Frozen Mage’s shoulder.
It was a meaningful spark created by the impact with the breastplate he was wearing inside.
Ugh.
The Frozen Mage’s expression changed for a moment as the spark entered his shoulder.
‘The Achilles tendon is between the shoulder and the neck, that is, towards the collarbone.’
Sang-Hyeon found the weakness.
Although it was a part covered by the breastplate, it was an area that could be easily reached by stabbing it diagonally.
‘Let’s just endure it for now.’
Sang-Hyeon strategically persevered.
The Frozen Mage may also be nervous because his weakness has just been exposed. He may even think he has been found out.
It is true that the Frozen Mage has a weakness in close combat, but its basic ‘toughness’ is high.
So, if you target the weakness at a time when both Sang-Hyeon and Frozen Mage know it, the probability of failure is high.
‘Look at me.’
Sang-Hyeon’s plan was simple.
Setting up the board for the Frozen Mage to go on the offensive.
This is because the situations in which concentration is usually lost and vulnerabilities are exposed are when an attack is made.
It’s obvious logic.
In order to attack a target, you have to focus on the attack itself. Naturally, you become vulnerable to other variables.
at that time.
The expression on the Frozen Mage’s face, which seemed to have been beaten unilaterally by Sang-Hyeon while in a stiff state, changed strangely.
‘Okay, come in!’
Sang-Hyeon hid his laughter.
I read the guy’s plan.
“Haaap!”
Sang-Hyeon made a large, deliberate movement, preparing to strike the Frozen Mage’s head with his whole body.
At that moment.
Shaaaa.
The stiffness condition that had been placed on the Frozen Mage was immediately lifted. The subsequent freezing also disappeared immediately.
Just as Sang-Hyeon had recovery and quick purification, there was a corner of him that he could trust.
Just in time.
『Pure White』
Sang-Hyeon activated the Pure White option.
It was a number of ironclad defenses that secured an additional 50% resistance and made one immune to all mental attacks.
and.
Phew!
The eye formed in the center of the Frozen Mage’s forehead glowed crimson and stared harshly at Sang-Hyeon.
Hypnosis skills, the third eye!
It was the Frozen Mage’s trump card.
A single-minded person!
The Frozen Mage expected victory. He intended to instruct the hypnotized Sang-Hyeon to commit honorable ‘suicide’.
Hehehe.
A cunning smile spread across the lips of the Frozen Mage, who was confident of victory.
But something was strange.
“joy.”
Sang-Hyeon, who should have been under hypnosis, was rushing towards him fiercely without even a moment’s hesitation!
My expectations were off.
No, that’s completely wrong.
