AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“Wow…”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Kim Seokju let out an admiring gasp.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“The old armor gave +5 each, right?”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“Yeah, this one gives 30 more overall. And the defense jumped from 70 to 280! Exactly 4x.”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
The difference between this and his previous gear was huge—it wasn’t even close.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Kang Juho shared the rest of the gear details.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890

AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“What the—?”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Unlike earlier, Kim Seokju reacted with surprise instead of admiration.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“This is insane. The Strength boost is just…”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“Right? Losing a little Vitality kinda sucks, but that Strength stat is too good to pass up.”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Kang Juho then showed the last two pieces:
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
[Nottingham’s Iron Greaves – Special]

-10% Movement Speed
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“Hunting’s going to be a breeze now.”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
The defense had skyrocketed—‘Defense Boost’ buffs would be even more effective now.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Even the shield’s damage reduction jumped by 15%.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Kim Seokju was convinced: there was no need to worry about physical attacks anymore.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
They prepared thoroughly—potions, food, and buff materials all packed in perfect balance.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“Let’s hit level 85 before midnight.”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“Aye aye! Let’s go!”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
[You have entered Coban’s Marsh.]
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
They arrived at their hunting zone and immediately spotted six Lizardmen armed with various weapons.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“Seokju.”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Juho, observing the Lizardmen wielding tridents and dual blades, called out.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
In response, Seokju cast buffs.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“Defense Boost… Speed Boost!”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
[All defense increased by 14% for 3 minutes.]
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
[All movement speed increased by 13% for 3 minutes.]
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
With buffs applied, Juho approached the Lizardmen.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Only one reacted and stepped forward.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
‘Nice aggro ignore.’
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Juho stopped, waiting.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
The Lizardman lunged with its trident—Juho blocked it with his shield.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
‘Yep, that’s some serious damage.’
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Even with his increased defense and 55% damage reduction, the hit still took 80 HP.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
If six of them attacked at once?
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
‘…This could get dangerous.’
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Juho had 18,250 HP, but at full blast from all six, he wouldn’t last a minute.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
He focused, pushing away casual thoughts.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
‘As long as they go down quickly…’
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Lizardmen were glass cannons—strong attack, low defense.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
He swung his hammer.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Thunk!
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
-KREEEE!
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
The Lizardman recoiled, shrieking.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
It couldn’t counter immediately—good sign.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Another hammer swing.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Thunk!
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
-KREEE!
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
‘Longer stun than I thought.’
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Two more hits, and the Lizardman went down.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
‘Four hits. Not bad.’
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
If the Hammer of Fury‘s shockwave hits 3 times and he adds one more swing, that’s enough.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Or… maybe no extra swing needed at all?
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
He remembered: the Attribute Shackles dealt 100% of received damage again.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
‘That means… just the hammer alone might do it.’
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Plus, Lizardmen always spawn in small groups—seven max. If he shackles them all, there’s no stray aggro.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
The other Lizardmen started closing in.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“Seokju! If they cluster on me, shackle them!”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“Roger!”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
As Juho stood his ground, the Lizardmen approached.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Seokju cast:
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“Attribute Shackles!”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Electric chains erupted and bound them all.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“Hammer of Fury!”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Juho, focused on defense, now swung freely.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Thunk! Zap! BOOM!
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Shockwaves burst through them.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
-KREEEEEE!!
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
The scream was far louder than before.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
While they trembled, Juho kept hammering.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Thunk! BOOM!
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Second wave. More screams.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
‘At this rate, I might not get hit at all.’
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Stunned Lizardmen had identical delay, whether hit directly or by the shockwave.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
He swung one last time.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
BOOM.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
They all dropped.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
As he drank a potion, a message appeared.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
[Skill ‘Hammer of Fury’ has increased to Mastery Level 2.]
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Not a level-up—but still great news.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
He opened the skill window.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
[Hammer of Fury]
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Mastery Level: 2 (0%)
- Basic attacks emit 3 shockwaves
- Range: 4 meters
- Damage: 100% of damage taken
- Mana Cost: 300
- Duration: 20 seconds
- Cooldown: 2 minutes
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“Nice!”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
The range increased from 2m to 4m—a huge improvement.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
But then…
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
‘…Should I actually be worried?’
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
If it keeps growing, AoE damage becomes a liability.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Area skills hurt all units except the caster—friends included.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Other melee classes might get hit unless they retreat or tank up.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
He’d have to be careful.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“Dude, that was insane,” Kim Seokju came over.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“Three swings? That’s it?”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“Thanks to you.”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Without Attribute Shackles, the strategy wouldn’t work.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“Hehe,” Seokju grinned sheepishly.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Juho continued:
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“Let’s change our strategy.”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“How?”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“I’ll gather them. When they group up, you cast Shackles.”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“Oh! Then I drop the Hammer?”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“Exactly.”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“And let me know if your AoE gets any bigger.”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“Will do.”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
While they chatted, Juho’s HP fully recovered.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
They moved to the next group of Lizardmen.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
As they walked, Juho opened his character window:
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890

AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
‘Damn, look at that Experience.’
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Just six Lizardmen gave him a huge jump.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“Seokju, check your Experience?”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“Huh? Experience?”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
He checked—eyes widened.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“We’re not just hitting 85 before midnight… we might hit 90.”
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Originally, the plan was 85 today, 90 tomorrow, then move on.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
But at this pace?
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
Kim Seokju paused, then nodded with resolve.
AnotherRandomStringWithNumbers1234567890
“Then… let’s do it.”
