Chapter 62 - The soldiers who arrived late (5) (1/2)

Sungwoo lifted his index finger and pointed to the “Suwon Culture and Tourism Map” on the wall of the conference room.

“Please organize a hunting team with the healthy people among the people, who have combat-related jobs. After that, try to target the low-level monsters nearby.”

“In other words, you want me to secure safety near this place by attacking them?”

Sungwoo shook his head at his question, “The purpose of your attack is to secure gold and the troops. I would like you to create a security guard here even when I am not here. Can I leave this work to you, Kyungsoo?”

With his eyes gleaming, Kyungsoo said with a nod, “Sure! Let me do my best.”

At first, Kyongsu couldn’t do anything while trapped at the shuttle bus stop, but now he was different. He could confront the monsters.

When he heard Sungwoo’s plan, Hanho asked, “Ah, you’re creating a village within the game?”

“Village…”

Commonly called a ‘village’, it was a term for a Safety Zone in the game that wasn’t a field. It would certainly be nice to have at least one such place.

“If we have such a place, it will be useful someday. Now, let’s go hunting again.”

All the skeletons except Orun and Werebear skeletons were exploded to catch the Vampire Lord.

Because of this, Sungwoo and his party spent a whole day hunting monster beasts, and finally succeeded in obtaining 4 Werewolf skeletons. He thought he could mobilize them to confront the field monsters.

When night fell, Sungwoo focused on another task. He tried making all the weapons with bones, then handed out one to each skeleton while recording all the synergies.

‘Synergy is the most important variable in battle. I have to collect information, so I can apply the necessary synergy, depending on the situation.’

Sungwoon assigned different kinds of synergies based on the weapons. For example, a dagger had the synergy of a critical hit rate. A blunt weapon had the synergy of a fainting rate, and a spear had the synergy of a penetrating rate. Therefore, they could change their weapons, depending on their opponents.

‘I think I have to use weapons for various purposes next time.’

The next morning Sungwoo and his group were facing the playground of a high school.

“It’s often referred to as drive hunt. It is an RPG game hunting method in which you drive a large number of miscellaneous mobs and catch them at once. You’ll get huge rewards in terms of your hunting time.”

“Sungwoo, can we do this drive hunt?” asked Hanho.

“Yes. I’ve done everything in the Kobold Dungeon.”

The orcs’ village was under construction there, and at first glance, the orcs exceeded 100.

“Now, I am not scared about them anymore.”

Sungwoo injected mana into the four orc bodies in front of the school gate. At that moment, only their bones were separated from their bodies and started to stick to Hanho’s and Jisu’s bodies.

They were part of the newly acquired skill, “Bone Armor Production.”

“It’s lighter than I thought.”

“It will be harder than you think.”

Sungwoo previously tested the durability of this armor. He put it on a Werewolf skeleton and struck it with a knife, but it was much harder than normal bone.

It would be able to withstand the impact even if an orc hit it with an ax a couple of times.

“Since the skeletons can fight against them in the center, we can target those who escape on the sides.”

Sungwoo, Hanho and Jisu walked into the orc’s zone.

While hammering hard, the orcs began to turn their heads one by one. The orcs watched them approaching them without any fear, as if they could not believe their eyes.

Soon the orcs lifted their axes and began to stride toward them as if to tear them apart.

“Kuaaaaah!”

When the red-haired orc screamed, a huge number of warriors began pouring out of the playground.

Guuuuuguuuu!

The ground shook hard when they charged toward the three like a herd of water buffalo moving across the African grasslands. And a huge cloud of sand arose around them.

Poooooooh!

However, the orcs’ threatening posture was overshadowed by the appearance of black smoke. The black smoke from somewhere blocked their vision right before colliding with the three human fighters.

The orcs breathed in the strange smoke, feeling their bodies being crushed little by little from within. Needless to say, they did so because of the influence of the curse. The moment their concentration was disturbed, white arms popped out of the black smoke.

Sharp nails grabbed one of the orc’s neck and twisted it as if turning a doorknob. The orc’s thick neck broke, and his body drooped.

Then, a Werebear skeleton popped out of the smoke. He literally squeezed into the middle of the orcs’ group like a bear and swung his huge paws.

Right behind him, Orun swung the knife in all directions after putting his legs through the bones.

When the Werebear skeleton struck them, the orcs fell helplessly one by one.

Puck! Puck! Puck! Puck!

The orcs began to surround the Werebear skeleton and attack him with the axes.

However, the Werebear skeleton looked like an armored tank because of its large build covered with strong bone armor.
