NOTICE: Many of the novels have been removed because they might cause violations, which we were not aware of earlier.
We had about 2 hours of in-depth briefing based on what we learned through prior information sharing .
The average player tends to just go in and see for themselves, so they often find the pre-briefing boring.
However, the three members of the free team, including Sang-Hyeon, were all cautious. Sang-Hyeon and I got along well in that regard.
We calculated and matched hypothetical situations as needed, and also performed simulations.
And only after we had a clear understanding of each other’s tendencies and characteristics could we enter the gate.
Throughout the briefing, Sang-Hyeon hesitated whether or not to talk about what happened after the mid-boss area.
I wanted to give a plausible explanation for the reason I knew in advance, but there was no way.
The quickest way is to say that I am a regressor… … but does that explanation even make sense?
So I held back for now. I thought I could find a suitable reason as I watched the situation unfold.
“Make sure to drink your vitality potions.”
As soon as she entered the gate, Kim Mi-so drank the vitality potion she had prepared in advance and spoke.
A vitality potion that increases concentration was a must. It also served as a stimulant without the side effects.
‘Let’s continue all the way to the Cerberus section of Hell.’
Since the real focus was on what came next, Sang-Hyeon put his thoughts on hold for a moment.
And after checking again the fixed state of the greatsword mounted on his back, he grabbed the longsword in one hand.
Kim Mi-so asked.
“You don’t use a greatsword?”
“I think using a greatsword in the early stages would be disadvantageous for mobile combat.”
“It’s definitely a section where speed is important. But are you okay with using a one-handed sword?”
“If you look at the inspector players, they usually specialize in one weapon. Either two-handed or one-handed.”
Park Tae-seok, who was behind, added his words. In fact, that was the general perception and the reality.
This is because each sword has a significantly different method of controlling power and application.
There were more cases than you might think where trying to handle both sides resulted in one’s swordsmanship becoming a mishmash of neither here nor there.
“Weapon Swap is also a really huge strength.”
“I guess it’s thanks to the effort.”
“You weren’t born with it, were you?”
“Wouldn’t it be too unlucky to admit that?”
“Haha! How about someone with skills being recognized for their skills? I think they deserve it.”
“You won’t use it often, but in an emergency, you can use a dagger to some extent. Your body will have to keep up.”
Sang-Hyeon naturally revealed the third option. He had also studied the dagger application method quite a bit. It was about three years before he returned.
at that time.
Crou. Crou.
A group of monsters with solid, muscular bodies appeared at the front all at once.
It was a demon ogre.
An ogre version of the Demon Orc we’ve seen in dungeons before, with a more threatening appearance.
First of all, he was over 2m tall and his chest was almost like a steel plate, so he was known for being difficult to penetrate.
“Tae-seok oppa?”
“okay.”
Kim Mi-so and Park Tae-seok had already prepared to attack according to the set schedule. As Kim Mi-so pulled the bowstring, a blue flame burst out from the tip of the arrow.
‘I guess I’ll have to wait and see what happens and then let’s talk. How long are you going to keep saying “shit, shit”?’
Sang-Hyeon thought as he watched the conversation between the three people who were already like older sister, older brother, and younger brother to each other.
It is definitely important to talk things through in the process of becoming closer.
“Okay, then!”
Kang Joo-hee threw a purple sphere that flashed from her fingertips straight ahead as if she was throwing a lance.
Then, a purple flash of light appeared in the middle of the empty space, and a transparent space opened up.
What was visible along the space was not the sight that was in front of them. It was the head of a Demon Ogre.
‘It’s definitely aggressive.’
The strength in Sang-Hyeon’s hand holding the longsword was palpable. He liked it because it was similar to his own disposition.
There are quite a few players who connect spaces conservatively. It was strictly a matter of inclination.
Of course, being aggressive isn’t always a good thing. If a Demon Ogre uses space in reverse, it can appear right in front of you.
Space could easily become a double-edged sword, as its use cannot be restricted just because it is limited.
“Let’s go!”
Sang-Hyeon ran.
Meanwhile, Kang Joo-hee was already creating several spatial passageways.
Sang-Hyeon looked through all the additional spaces that had been created before entering the first passageway that Kang Joo-Hee had created.
If you need it later and look for it, it will be too late. You should look at it in advance and use it as needed.
Phew!
Sang-Hyeon fell from above the Demon Ogre’s head and struck its crown with his longsword.
The chest may be like a steel plate, but the head isn’t that hard. The skull was fine.
Push-shu!
From the moment the longsword struck, blood began to spurt out and the Demon Ogre’s pupils went wide.
The body can survive even if it collapses, but if the head collapses, no one can survive.
In addition, since I was exposed to attacks while defenseless, Demon Bash naturally stiffened.
Swish! Swaaaah!
Without even looking, Sang-Hyeon swung his longsword and cut off the Demon Ogre’s head.
The Demon Ogre, having lost its defensive capabilities, was not a burden at all.

“It’s disarmament, really.”
“Right, Joohee?”
“Yes, Sister. The reason Demon Ogres are so picky is because they make so many noises.”
“yes.”
“But if you become stiff like that, holding an expensive artifact is useless, right?”
“It can even be extended.”
Kang Joo-hee and Kim Mi-so were impressed as they checked Sang-hyun’s battle situation.
Common status abnormalities are often brief phenomena that only appear for a moment.
Or, most of the time, it was easily solved or not caught due to skill resistance or defense mechanisms.
But the abnormal state that Sang-Hyeon created really gave me enough room to stretch and take a deep breath.
If you think about it the other way around, it means that from the monster’s point of view, they are trapped in a hell that seems to never end.
Ugh! Ugh!
Meanwhile, the two Demon Ogres who were exposed to Sang-Hyeon’s Demon Bash one after another trembled.
It was a reaction that occurred when I was in a state of stiffness and tried to force myself to move my uncontrolled body.
“For me, a status effect that long is a fantastic combination.”
Park Tae-seok, sitting next to Kim Mi-so and Kang Joo-hee, started reciting a spell and activated his speaking ability.
Then, after a short pause, the Demon Ogre’s face turned bright red, and soon flames rose up.
It was nowhere else but my head that exploded like a firecracker, flames shooting up into the sky.
“Brother, is the probability 100%?”
“Since the monster’s resistance stage is completely blocked in the stiff state, it has to be 100% unconditionally.”
“… … This is really amazing.”
Kim Mi-so and Kang Joo-hee were amazed.
In the meantime, Park Tae-seok waited for the moment when the monster was under an abnormal status to activate the ignition ability.
The time was very short and ended before I could even recite the spell, so I often failed.
But now it was different.
Since Sang-Hyeon definitely gave him enough time, he was able to comfortably demonstrate his specialty.
In fact, it was no different from a meal prepared by Sang-Hyeon. The saying that it was a fantastic combination was not an empty phrase.
Meanwhile, Sang-Hyeon had no interest in the Demon Ogre, who had been finished off by Park Tae-Seok.
And he took advantage of the Demon Ogre’s opening as he staggered after being hit by Kim Mi-so’s headshot.
『Full charging』
Sang-Hyeon immediately started charging.
As I started charging while slightly bending down, a surge of energy began to gather around my body and sword.
It felt like gathering the spirit bombs you see in comics? It felt like gathering the power to become a finishing move.
‘The distance between the Demon Ogre and me is 5m. If I charge for about 1 second, I can strike right away.’
The time and distance calculations were accurate.
In my previous life, I used Demon Bash as easily as eating rice. So I didn’t even need to predict the time. My body and mind remembered it on their own.
‘The pose is a bit funny though.’
After charging to the required firepower, Sang-Hyeon stretched his left arm, which was not holding the longsword, behind him.
And he put all the power of the full charge into the longsword in his right hand, raised obliquely. Without leaving anything behind.
“let’s go!”
The moment Sang-Hyeon’s eyes flashed as he watched the Demon Ogre, his body position also changed in an instant.
Pfft!
The body moved 5 meters in an instant, without any afterimage remaining. It felt like a person blinking.
Puhwaaaaak!
A red line of blood was drawn across the spot where the longsword had passed. Then it spread out in all directions, giving off a pungent smell of blood.
“Is it a movement skill?”
“No. I cut off the Demon Ogre’s head.”
“Then is it a moving attack skill?”
“Looking at the way he cleanly slices off the neck, it feels like it’s not a simple attack skill, but rather a finishing move.”
The three people who were watching Sang-Hyeon’s activities through the space that Kang Joo-Hee opened were surprised at the same time.
The full charging skill was a skill that even Kim Mi-so, who already knew about Sang-Hyeon, was seeing for the first time.
It was clear that a new skill had been added while I was not looking. With that level of firepower, there was no way it wouldn’t have been used in quest dungeons.
Wow!
Meanwhile, the ogre, whose entire body was set on fire by Park Tae-seok, let out a scream.
But because of the flames, the other ogre running behind the ogre was not visible.
Pfft. Pfft.
At that time, Kang Joo-hee appropriately created a passage connecting Sang-hyeon to the other ogres’ rear.
It was Kang Joo-hee’s sensible arrangement that allowed her to take a broader view from a distance.
The demon ogre was also obscured by the flames and was unable to properly track Sang-Hyeon.
“Ugh!”
Sang-Hyeon, with a lot of energy, went into full charge again. This time, he held out as long as time allowed.
Gooooo! Big gooo!
A whirlwind began to rise from all directions, and Sang-Hyeon’s sword shook with a fierce trembling.
“Mr. Sang-Hyeon! That guy isn’t just a Demon Ogre, he’s a Defender!”
Kim Mi-so shouted.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered to be a defense-specialized monster with a thick outer skin that reinforced its entire body with an extra layer of skin.
‘Thank you for your concern, but I already knew this.’
Sang-Hyeon answered with a bright smile. And at that very moment, enough power was gathered into the sword.
“Haat!”
He unleashed a powerful attack with a shout, fully charged.
It was a blow that aimed for the Demon Ogre Defender’s left waist in one breath, as he dug straight into the space passage that Kang Joo-hee had opened.
The straight line distance was about 70 meters, but when attacking through a space passage, it was only 12 meters.
And Sang-Hyeon’s body jumped a long distance of 12 meters in one breath with a single full charge.
It was definitely a usable movement technique, except that it restricted the body’s movements.
And that’s not all? It was also an attack skill that could condense power for the same amount of time as charging.
But what was even scarier was the phenomenon that occurred after holding on for a whopping 4.5 seconds.
Puhwaaaaak!
“and……!”
“It was cut off in one breath from the side to the middle of the abdomen… … .”
“It’s not like you’re cutting acorn jelly or anything, but the body of a defender specialized in defense is cut like that?”
Kim Mi-so, Park Tae-seok, Kang Joo-hee.
The whole team was astonished.
What unfolded before their eyes was the Defender’s waist half cut off by Sang-Hyeon’s full charge attack.
This is a character that usually requires four players to rush in and focus their attacks or continuously inflict damage to unlock the strategy.
However, Sang-Hyeon used a technique that was truly a one-hit kill technique and cut the defender’s waist in half.
Kyuuuuuu.
The Defender’s body tilting sideways like the Leaning Tower of Pisa with a sad scream was a sight to behold.
The three were convinced.
He said that he had met a skilled prosecutor whom he had been unable to find despite having tried many times over the years.
A proactive inspector who takes charge of the team’s direction without relying on the team is not as far away as you might think.
