Kim Seokju let out an admiring gasp.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“The old armor gave +5 each, right?”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Yeah, this one gives 30 more overall. And the defense jumped from 70 to 280! Exactly 4x.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The difference between this and his previous gear was huge—it wasn’t even close.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`

Unlike earlier, Kim Seokju reacted with surprise instead of admiration.

“This is insane. The Strength boost is just…”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`

“Hunting’s going to be a breeze now.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The defense had skyrocketed—‘Defense Boost’ buffs would be even more effective now.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Even the shield’s damage reduction jumped by 15%.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Kim Seokju was convinced: there was no need to worry about physical attacks anymore.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`

[You have entered Coban’s Marsh.]
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
They arrived at their hunting zone and immediately spotted six Lizardmen armed with various weapons.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Seokju.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Juho, observing the Lizardmen wielding tridents and dual blades, called out.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
In response, Seokju cast buffs.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Defense Boost… Speed Boost!”

[All defense increased by 14% for 3 minutes.]
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
[All movement speed increased by 13% for 3 minutes.]
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
With buffs applied, Juho approached the Lizardmen.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Only one reacted and stepped forward.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
‘Nice aggro ignore.’
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Juho stopped, waiting.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The Lizardman lunged with its trident—Juho blocked it with his shield.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
‘Yep, that’s some serious damage.’
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Even with his increased defense and 55% damage reduction, the hit still took 80 HP.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
If six of them attacked at once?
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
‘…This could get dangerous.’
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Juho had 18,250 HP, but at full blast from all six, he wouldn’t last a minute.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
He focused, pushing away casual thoughts.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
‘As long as they go down quickly…’
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Lizardmen were glass cannons—strong attack, low defense.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
He swung his hammer.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Thunk!
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
-KREEEE!
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The Lizardman recoiled, shrieking.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
It couldn’t counter immediately—good sign.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Another hammer swing.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Thunk!
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
-KREEE!
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
‘Longer stun than I thought.’
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Two more hits, and the Lizardman went down.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
‘Four hits. Not bad.’
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
If the Hammer of Fury‘s shockwave hits 3 times and he adds one more swing, that’s enough.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Or… maybe no extra swing needed at all?
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
He remembered: the Attribute Shackles dealt 100% of received damage again.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
‘That means… just the hammer alone might do it.’
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Plus, Lizardmen always spawn in small groups—seven max. If he shackles them all, there’s no stray aggro.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The other Lizardmen started closing in.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Seokju! If they cluster on me, shackle them!”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Roger!”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
As Juho stood his ground, the Lizardmen approached.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Seokju cast:
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Attribute Shackles!”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Electric chains erupted and bound them all.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Hammer of Fury!”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Juho, focused on defense, now swung freely.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Thunk! Zap! BOOM!
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Shockwaves burst through them.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
-KREEEEEE!!
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The scream was far louder than before.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
While they trembled, Juho kept hammering.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Thunk! BOOM!
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Second wave. More screams.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
‘At this rate, I might not get hit at all.’
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Stunned Lizardmen had identical delay, whether hit directly or by the shockwave.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
He swung one last time.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
BOOM.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
They all dropped.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
As he drank a potion, a message appeared.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
[Skill ‘Hammer of Fury’ has increased to Mastery Level 2.]
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Not a level-up—but still great news.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`

“Nice!”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
The range increased from 2m to 4m—a huge improvement.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
But then…
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
‘…Should I actually be worried?’
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
If it keeps growing, AoE damage becomes a liability.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Area skills hurt all units except the caster—friends included.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Other melee classes might get hit unless they retreat or tank up.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
He’d have to be careful.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Dude, that was insane,” Kim Seokju came over.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Three swings? That’s it?”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Thanks to you.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Without Attribute Shackles, the strategy wouldn’t work.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Hehe,” Seokju grinned sheepishly.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Juho continued:
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Let’s change our strategy.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“How?”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“I’ll gather them. When they group up, you cast Shackles.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Oh! Then I drop the Hammer?”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Exactly.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“And let me know if your AoE gets any bigger.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Will do.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
While they chatted, Juho’s HP fully recovered.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
They moved to the next group of Lizardmen.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
As they walked, Juho opened his character window:

‘Damn, look at that Experience.’
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Just six Lizardmen gave him a huge jump.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Seokju, check your Experience?”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Huh? Experience?”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
He checked—eyes widened.

“We’re not just hitting 85 before midnight… we might hit 90.”
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Originally, the plan was 85 today, 90 tomorrow, then move on.

But at this pace?
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
Kim Seokju paused, then nodded with resolve.
XyZaBc1234567890!@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?/~`
“Then… let’s do it.”
