Chapter 25 (1/2)
The two buses began to crawl on the road entangled with the bodies of goblins and people as well as cars.
After the buses disappeared, Sungwoo, Hanho, Jisu, and 9 skeletons were left behind.

“Where are we going now? Oh, where is your house, Jisu?”
It wasn’t normal to think about going back home in this situation, but there was no other question to ask now.
“I used to live in the school dorm because my house is on Jeju Island…”

“I see.”
It was literally impossible to go back to Jeju Island at this point. Hesitant about what to say next, she opened and closed her mouth a few times, then looked at Sungwoo.
“Hey, Sungwoo, can I come with you?”

In fact, she noticed that he was reluctant to leave with the others. However, there was nothing safer than being around him at the moment.
“I don’t know if I can help you, but…”
“Of course you are helpful.”
“Ah, thank you.”
She laughed responsively since he replied in the positive unexpectedly. She thought it was very fortunate to be with him.
“Sungwoo, I don’t have to ask you, right?” said Hanho.
“Well, I’ve one condition.”
“What is it? Just tell me.”
“I want you to be a One-armed Warrior.”

“···”
“I was wondering if we could have better synergy with two One-armed Warriors.”
Sungwoo’s joking continued when she suddenly yanked his arm.
“Lower your body!”

Along with a gust of wind that shook the heavy vehicles, dozens of giant shadows filled the sky.
Woowoong!
“What the heck is that?”
1
Creatures with tent-like wings passed through the sky. A giant body, sharp claws, and a mouth like an alligator’s that shone at the end of its long neck… The unrealistic figure of a creature swept past their eyes.
“…Dragon?”
-Field Boss ‘Wyvern Alphamale’ has appeared.

Wyvern was commonly known as an inferior dragon species. The Wyvern party lay flat under a tree and did not move at all. Fortunately, Sungwoo’s party could avoid their attack because the Wyverns hadn’t noticed them yet.
However, the shuttle bus that wasn’t too far from campus yet was in trouble. The bus that Kyongsu was driving stopped early on, so it was not targeted, but the other one that tried to escape was noticed by the Wyverns immediately.
Kaaak!
Two Wyverns descended in an instant. Even one looked bigger than the bus.
When two such monsters grabbed the ceiling of the bus and clasped it with their wings, the bus was lifted into the air.

“Argh!”
“Ahhh! Save us!”
Along with the screaming of the people inside, the body of the bus was torn like a sheet of paper. Then Wyvern’s heads broke into the gap and pulled them out one by one and started eating like a bird eating the larvae of a beehive.
Someone opened the window and jumped off boldly, but he was caught in the air and disappeared into the crocodile-like mouth. It was a one-sided massacre.
Watching that cruel scene, Sungwoo realized that he alone was not strong enough.
But he could be stronger now.
“…Jisu, you can come with me if you accept one condition.”
“What, what is it?” she asked tensely.
“We’re going to hunt the monsters actively. We won’t avoid them.”
“…Really?”
“I told you that you have to adapt yourself to the situation, right?”
“Ah, yes.”
“You should not be content with just adapting. In that case, you can only change your fate from an easy prey to a difficult one.”
Humans finally came to dominate the Earth because they controlled nature, which was beyond adapting to nature.
Sungwoo prepared for hunting on a wider hunting ground.
-Your tutorial is now complete.

The goblin was running. Frightened, it ran like crazy to survive. It believed it could be safe once it reached the village by running a little further.
Thump!
The goblin opened the glass door. It was a franchise sundae (Korean sausage) house.
