SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“Chimera!”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
It really was a Chimera.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Its head was that of an ogre, its upper body was covered in thick fur, and where arms should have been—there were sharp blades instead.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
The sound of human footsteps had come from its human-like lower body.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
‘This is it!’
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Lagaen, calming his surprise, was sure.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Among the wounds on Doben and the apprentice knights, some were clearly caused by a sword.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Which meant—this Chimera standing in front of him was the one responsible for their deaths.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
‘Are the rest deeper inside?’
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
The corpses didn’t only show sword wounds.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
There were also traces of magic—and spear wounds.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Maybe the Chimera had used magic.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
But spear wounds?
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Those couldn’t come from blades.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Which meant… it wasn’t alone.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Just then—
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“Tsk tsk…”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
A deep, gravelly voice echoed from behind the Chimera.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
A man emerged.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“…!”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Lagaen flinched.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
‘How did I not sense him?’
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
He wasn’t the Intelligence Squad leader for nothing.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
His sensory awareness was top-tier even among other captains.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
‘This is bad… really bad…’
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
But this man? He’d snuck up on them without a trace.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
If he hadn’t shown himself, Lagaen would never have noticed him.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“I was planning to stay quiet until the day came, but…”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
The man’s tone was irritated.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“The day? What are you talking about?”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Lagaen questioned him, hiding his hand behind his back and signaling the team to flee.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
He would’ve fought the Chimera alone.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
But with this man… everything changed.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
His logic—and his instincts—were screaming not to engage.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“Curious?”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
The man smiled wide.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Just that smile alone sent chills down Lagaen’s spine.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“Too bad. I’m not telling. Heehee.”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“Did you kill the knights?”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“Knights?”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
The man tilted his head.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“Ah, those guys. Ran into them while passing by. Couldn’t be helped!”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
As expected, this man and the Chimera had killed the knights.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“Don’t worry too much! They were gonna die on the day anyway. Haha!”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Lagaen said nothing.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
‘The day…’
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
He didn’t know what it meant, exactly.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
But just hearing it filled him with dread.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
‘I have to warn them.’
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
He’d already sent Doben and Leos.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
But they didn’t know about the Chimera, this man… or the day.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Swoosh.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Lagaen pulled a green stone from his robe and slammed it to the ground.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Crack! Hissss—!
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
The stone burst into smoke.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
And the team made a break for it.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“Huh? They’re running?”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
The man frowned.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
He thought they’d fight like the knights did.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“Not like they’ll get far.”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
He waved his hand.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
A staff appeared in mid-air. He grabbed it—and waved again.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
RUMMMMBLE.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
The cave began to shake.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
A thunderous sound echoed from the entrance.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
The man smirked.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“Let’s see how much they squirm.”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
He started walking toward the exit, the Chimera following behind.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
***
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Meanwhile…
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“Attribute Shackle!”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Kim Seokju cast the spell.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Chains of lightning wrapped around the seven attacking Lizardmen.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“Hammer of Fury!”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Kang Juho slammed his hammer down.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
WHAM! WHAM!
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
[Skill ‘Relentless’ mastery increased to level 2.]
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
‘Level 2!’
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Kang Juho was thrilled.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
He’d been hoping Relentless would level up.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Wanting to finish the battle quickly, he swung the hammer again.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
WHAM! HISS!
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
A third wave spread out—wiping out all enemies.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
[Level Up!]
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
[You can now learn the skill ‘Hammer of Death.’]
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
‘What?! A new skill?’
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
He’d expected the level up, but not a skill.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
And with a name like Hammer of Death? It sounded insane.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
He immediately checked it.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
<Relentless [Passive]>
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Mastery: 2 (0%)
- Reduces Hammer of Fury cooldown by 3 seconds with each basic attack hit.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
‘Not 2 seconds—3!’
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
That was huge.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Once he hit mastery level 10?
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
That’d be 19 seconds off per basic attack.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
3 swings = 57 seconds off cooldown.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
With a 2-minute base cooldown, that means a ~1-minute reuse cycle.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Next, he checked the new skill:
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
<Hammer of Death [Passive]>
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Mastery: 1 (0%)
- 20% chance to prevent targets from regenerating HP for 3 minutes.
- Only works on enemies up to level 100.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
‘Huh…’
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
It wasn’t an active skill.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
No flashy new attack—just a passive debuff.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Yes, the “no healing” effect was powerful, especially against monsters with regeneration like trolls.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
But right now?
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Not very useful.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
And it only worked on enemies under level 100.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
He’d been hyped—now he was disappointed.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“What’s wrong, bro?”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“A new skill popped—but it’s kinda… meh.”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
He showed Seokju the details.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“Ah… but long-term? It could be amazing. Like, against trolls and stuff.”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“Yeah, I guess…”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Still, it was better to acquire it now and build mastery.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
But it cost 1,000 gold.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
He was broke.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“Want me to lend you some?”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“You would? Thanks.”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Seokju sent him the gold.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
[Skill Quest ‘Hammer of Death’ completed.]
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
[Skill acquired: Hammer of Death]
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Kang Juho then allocated his bonus stat points to Stamina.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
They resumed the hunt.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
It didn’t take long before another Lizardman mob appeared.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“Physical Buff!”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“Hammer of Rage!”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
WHAM! HISS!
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
WHAM! HISS!
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
WHAM! HISS!
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Three waves—battle over.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
They grabbed the loot and moved on.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
***
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Eventually, they reached their goal: Level 90.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“We did it!”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“Great job!”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Seokju checked the time.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“We’re two hours ahead of schedule.”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
They had time to return and restock.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“Do you think we can level this fast at the next hunting ground?”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“Only if Hammer of Fury still wipes them out.”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Next up: the Hordebell Plains, home to orcs level 105–125.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Stronger, tankier than Lizardmen.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“Doubt it. They’re orcs.”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Lizardmen were glass cannons—high damage, low defense and HP.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Orcs? Not so much.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
Still, the loot haul was massive.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
After selling it, they’d be rich.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
“I’m getting the best hammer available.”
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
His current weapon, the Raging Blacksmith’s Iron Hammer, was for level 40s.
SampleStringWith😃Emojis🚀ForTestingPurpose
At level 90, it was time for a serious upgrade.
