Chapter 48 - Monster Heart (5) (1/2)

Monster Heart (5)

The moment the Giant Red-maned Wolf appeared, the atmosphere on the battlefield changed.

The monsters trembled, and the humans seemed to have reached their limit, too.

“Damn it!”

“I’m sorry, guys!”

Almost all regular monsters were dead, and the monsters that remained in the passage are powerful.

Humans may think they are more likely to survive if they ran away.

People who had strong melee abilities were dead, and most of the survivors were the ones from the backline.

“We need to go, brother!”

“What are you saying!”

“Shut up!”

The archers, wizards, and priests who had weak defenses were anxious to run. It was obvious that their feet were itching to escape.

But it’s useless. There are still three Giant Wolves and two Giant Spiders who can easily catch them. They were locked on to the human foes.

On the other hand, the Red Werewolf did not care about them. He has been facing me since the moment he appeared.

He knows where I am.

Is it an illusion? His red mane seems to pulse with the dungeon.

He was sharing the sensation of the entire 2F. Without that, he wouldn’t be able to see me.

He was absorbing the anger of the entire 2F, and it pulses and radiates in his body.

The Ebon Heart thumped as if waiting for him, but I deliberately ignored it.

It’s silly to deal with him now. I couldn’t fight him until I confirmed that all humans were dead.

He didn’t like being ignored.

“Ow ow!”

The Red-maned Wolf cried. At that moment, all the wolves on 2F stopped moving and raised their heads towards him. They couldn’t see me, but they rushed in my direction.

Damn.

It’s annoying to deal with them, but it’s not difficult. However, my priority is to make sure that humans won’t leave the dungeon and escape the monsters.

I charged straight at them, stepping on their heads and slashing their throats with Blood Shadow.

Beyond the rising blood mist, I could see the human faces staring in awe and fear.

“He’s a demon!”

“Is that a compliment?” I appeared in front of the human who spoke and wielded my sword against him.

[You gained 139,809 experience.]

[You acquired 38 gold.]

I would not spare him. Every time I kill humans, I place them inside the inventory.

I created traps around humans. Even if the traps’ killing power was low, it’s enough to hold them in place.

“Shh.. what’s this! Ouch!”

“There’s something around our feet!”

Once I caught them, the spiders took over even if I don’t kill the humans myself.

The Intermediate-level Lunatic Trickster can create up to three traps at once.

Every time a trap is triggered, and after confirming that the prey was killed by the spiders, I created new traps.

There were always three traps as far as my sight could reach. Whether triggered or unsuccessful, I constantly made traps.

Sometimes, it causes fatal wounds.

Equipment items were consumed continuously, as well as mana and stamina.

If I need to refill it, the materials around me were overflowing!

[Level up!]

[Intermediate Lunatic Trickster has become Lv3.]

The number of humans has declined rapidly. The number of monsters has decreased as well. It was me who led the situation.

And Red Werewolf was watching it.

It looked like he wanted to rush to me right now, but he didn’t. He seems to understand I’m not going to fight him yet.

If he tries to, I can avoid him. My agility can match anyone.

His stare seems to be a warning however, that I could never avoid a battle with him eventually.

He would obviously attack the moment I finish the humans. He will do it when I least expect it.

I knew. I’m not stupid. I have been preparing all this time.

He knows my abilities if he is the 2F’s monster form. He would have seen them.

I am not sure of his speed and power. Perhaps, he is as strong as all of 2F. From the moment he showed up, he already found my position.

That’s why it would be hard to beat him. It will be a very tedious battle. It may be dangerous.

So how will I do it?

Simple.

Use an ability that has never been used in 2F.

[Kang Si-ha (Fate)]

[Bugbear Lv68]

[Strength – 539 Stamina – 468 Magic – 336 Luck-???]

[Skill-Ebon Heart, Predation Lv4, Advanced Martial Arts Lv2, Intermediate Lunatic Trickster Lv3, Intermediate Armor Defense Lv5, Intermediate Regeneration Lv6, Intermediate Flame Magic Lv3, Intermediate Power Attack Lv4, Intermediate Black Lv9, Intermediate Leap Lv1, Advanced Detection Lv4, Advanced Surprise Lv9, Intermediate Fairy Tale Lv9, Intermediate Beast Charge Lv6, Intermediate Leadership Lv8, Intermediate Immunity Lv9, Lower Fantasy Magic Lv4, Beginner Healing Magic Lv3, Beginner Speed ​​Attack Lv2, Beginner Water Magic Lv2]

My flagship skills would have been familiar to him. The other skills obtained by killing humans are at the Beginner level, so I doubt they would have any effect on him.

So, what should I use?

The sheer strength of a Power Attack may not be enough if I can’t land it.

Do I have a skill that could bait him to his death?

There is.

A high-level skill that has never been used in 2F.

Just as he was planning to drive his claws into my heart, I have been planning the moment I would pierce his heart with my sword.

Still, my legs and sword did not rest. I have to sort out everything else before I face him.

Finally, down to the last human.
