“Queek!”

I wanted to enjoy this feeling as much as I could, but I couldn't wait until a Goblin attacked me.

‘Now... stab rather than cut! ’

You stabbed the Goblin in front of you again, moving your feet as instinct led you.

Phew!

The Goblin's head was pierced with a single stab wound filled with power.

I feel like my fingertips are cutting through my flesh and breaking my bones.

“... Was the Goblin's skull this weak? ”

I was a little embarrassed when I caught a Goblin so easily.

Of course, I was confident in various preparations, but this is too easy. At this rate, you can catch dozens of Goblins.

“... Great! Hunting.”

Ever since, I've been roaming the battlefield, constantly hunting Goblins.

Then I learned that the sword I use now has a longer range of attacks than the wooden window I used yesterday.

The wooden spear was 1.2 metres, and the black spear was 80 centimeters. However, I didn't know how to use the spear, so I accidentally caught it in the middle, and as a result, the actual attack range was a little ahead of Arming Sword. And that's the difference.

Sneak angle

"Queek!

A Goblin who falls to the ground half-slashed by a dagger and spits filthy green blood.

Even if you thrust your swords at each other like a Goblin, they won't reach me for any difference in attack range. This is a one-sided slaughter.

“Phew... I think I got it pretty good. ”

I wonder how many I've caught. I checked the pockets on my waist, and I noticed that the Goblin's ears were piled up a lot.

‘... It's been so easy so far. ’

I felt a bit strange because I had never filled the monster's ears so heavily.

To the extent that you feel like a fool for not hunting so easily until now.

Let's play for it. I think we can do it now. ’

As I gained my confidence through the Goblin Slaughter, I became a little greedy.

Knol was a small monster, like a Goblin, but with twice the size difference. This means that you have twice the minimum power and twice the range of attacks compared to Goblins.

"I used to avoid it because I wasn't good enough... but now..."

“Aaaah! Please help me! ”

As you think about it for a moment, you hear someone screaming urgently nearby.

Looking at the source of the screams, one of the swordsmen was beaten relentlessly by Knoll.

“Hah... This is supposed to be a game, right? ”

I don't know how I could have done this as soon as I thought about it.

Play was still a little dangerous, but I had no choice but to rush to play. I didn't want to see the monster kill anyone in front of me.

“Huh…! You! Help me! ”

“Grrrrr?”

Stupid!

When I arrived near Nol without making a sound, the soldier called me with an urgent voice and urgently stopped the movement he was attempting to stab Nol.

It's dangerous to sneak into a soldier's shout and say he already knows me when he looks back.

“Let's take it easy…. Yeah, it's a monster. ”

He was holding an iron mace covered in green and red blood where he found it. Seeing that, I find the rusty Goblin Dagger I've been dealing with so far cute.

We'll have to reserve a place underground, not in a hospital, when that mace hits our heads.

No, stabbing? No... We can't go in there right now. ’

Thanks to my sword skills, I calmed down my urgent mind, calmed things down, and watched Nol's movements.

‘Obviously, if you go into a force fight, you will be pushed. We have to let him in first. ’

I don't know why they call them small monsters. Look at those squirming muscles.

I swallowed a needle in tension and opened my mouth looking straight at the play. To draw him in.

“You ugly bastard! ”

“Grrr? Khh! ”

He doesn't understand what it means, but he runs crazily, swinging his iron mace, noticing that it's not a good sound to hear.

Taunt was more successful than I thought, but I felt a different level of pressure than a small Goblin.

‘Don't move yet. ’

In my mind, I wanted to distance myself from him right away, but I thought I shouldn't do it to defeat him, so I looked straight at him.

‘Not yet... a little more. Now! "

Whoo-hoo!

The scrambling mace flies over your head with a terrifying sound of wind. I was preparing calmly so I could avoid my lower back, but my heart was chilling with the sound of the bitter wind.

The feeling of intimidation in a mace is no joke.

“Grrrrr!”

“No way!”

Excited that the playboy missed the iron mace, he thrust his sword into the gap as soon as he tried to get into position to swing the iron mace again.

Phuket

“Wake up!”

Luckily, I cut off the shoulder muscles of the inflated knot before wielding the iron mace. I took a few steps back while playing around to see if it was fatal.

"We have to switch weapons with our other hands and finish it before we catch them!" ’

This is your chance not to use a dangerous mace with one punch.

You continue to swing your sword, catching up with Nol, who is trying to spread the distance. Cut and stab.

Knol tries to counterattack with his normal hand, but an unarmed hand-to-hand attack is no threat compared to a mace.

“Grrr……. ”

“Phew...”

He turned bloody. He was just as tired as I was.

‘... if only I had a little more strength. ’

If I had, I wouldn't have to swing my sword like this.

After pulling back the meaningless sadness and raising the sword again, the furious man tries to raise his mace, but spits out a bewildered voice to make sure his arms don't move properly.

“Grrrrr?”

“Ugh...! Stupid bastard! Now stop dying! ”

The area I was focused on from the start was the right hand of the guy with the mace.

It's time to see the end. Preparing for the final blow, I quickly dug into the ground and into the bewildered creature's arms.

Pa-bak!

At that moment, I could see the twinkling eyes of Nol that I was constantly watching.

“Kwaang!! ”

He waves his left hand towards me, screaming like he was embarrassed when.

“I know that too! ”

But I already expected his attack.

Even if I didn't catch Nol, I could see the Veterans usually fighting Nol.

Waiting for the day to catch them.

For me, his surprise is petty.

Gross.

The claws of Nol tear open, but you roll back into his arms, lowering into position.

“It's over!”

Phew!

“Wake up!”

After a dog fight, you put a sword through your chest. You can't play much longer, scream for a moment and hang your head low.

Tiering! [You Level Up]

A sigh of relief comes as you sigh.

“Hah... huh? Leveling up? You're healthy. ”

I'm full of stamina when I level up. When I looked at his body, I was surprised at him, and his body had recovered cleanly with many of the sleeping wounds.

As Rieka said, he returned to his condition before he was injured through level-up.

“Ugh! Whew... I almost died. Thank you for rescuing me! ”

I was stunned by the voice coming from behind.

‘... It's not too late to check the details slowly after the war. ’

If you blink, you might be in the same situation as yesterday.

After clearing Knol's corpse with a healthy body, you stand up and turn your head, and you notice the soldier smiling awkwardly on the floor.

“... I think you're hurt a lot. Step back. ”

I asked him why he didn't help me when I was fighting Nol, but the soldier's point wasn't real.

At first glance, he was badly injured, and the armor he was wearing turned ragged with blood.

Above all, his sword was broken in half and he could no longer fight.

“Of course... Thank you so much for your help. I'm alive because of you. ”

‘But he's a decent man. ’

I was wondering if he might ask for play's ear because of greed like the shield soldier did yesterday, but he behaved completely differently than that soldier yesterday.

“No, we have to help each other. Go to the ward now. ”

“I will. Then...”

The struggling soldier stumbles back to his home.

It was a little unsettling, but this is the outskirts, so we should be able to get back to the ward safely unless we're really out of luck.

As I watched the soldier leave, I remembered the battle with Nol just now.

“Phew... I could play nice. ”

I was a little tense, but I felt confident once I caught a game.

Of course, I don't intend to hunt around looking for Nol. But then, when you're fighting Nol with bad luck, it can be dangerous if you stick to other monsters.

“... First, if you grow up catching Goblins and play, you'll have to deal with them. ”

Until yesterday, I was able to catch Goblins hard enough to play in one day.

What happens tomorrow? I'm sure they'll grow more than they do now. So there's no need to act rashly.

My goal is to exterminate all monsters, not catch a few small monsters.

“Okay. Let's go. ”

From then on, I started sweeping up Goblins based on my recovered stamina.

You don't need to wield your sword much to catch them. Most of the Goblins lost their lives at once, and those who weren't fortunate enough lost their lives in further slaughter.

While slaughtering Goblins and devouring their bodies with monster blood.

Phew! Phew!

“Return! Return! This is the end of today's war! ”

“Fall back to your posts! ”

The sound of the retreating trumpet when you join a monster wave and hear it for the first time on the battlefield.

Monsters that are driven crazy by monster waves return to the forest at night to relax. That was the end of the war that day.

‘... I caught a monster this late? ’

When I saw my hands soaked in blood, I felt different.

However, the excitement comes from deep inside the fact that it grew unnoticed in one day.

I closed my eyes and drank the scent of the battlefield as I watched the fleeing monsters and soldiers starting to return home.

“Ha…”

A nasty aroma that feels so intense that it numbs the nose.

With a satisfactory smile, I looked down at my waist, and there was a pocket full of waist dancing.

“It's time to go back. ”

Thanks to the level-up, you were strong enough, but there were no more monsters to see around you.

However, we can't follow the runaways to catch a few more monsters and meet any unlucky monsters, so we have to stop.

I stepped back to the base with the barbarian's sword in my sword.

“Huh? Kaiyan! ”

Familiar voice from behind.

“Uncle Jeff! ”

Looking back, Jeff, who was covered in green blood, ran with a happy face.

“You! Are you hurt? Are you still in the battlefield? ”

Maybe it's because I never survived until the war was over. Jeff looked at me quite surprised.

Well, I'm not really feeling it yet.

“Yes. It was easy to deal with the Goblins because they changed their weapons." Of course, I also took part in the sword you showed me. ”

After showing Jeff the bag full for the first time, he opened his eyes as if he was more surprised than before.

“Wow... How many of these are there? Aren't you... talented in swordsmanship? ”

“Yes? No way. What about my subject... And mostly Goblins. ”

I only caught Goblins if I caught Orcs.

I was embarrassed to hear from Jeff, who slaughters Orcs in the deeper battlefield.

“No, think about it. You said you caught Goblins like this just with the Iron Sword and the simple moves I showed you. ”

“That's it. Let's go get some rest. ”

“This guy's right! ”

"Swordsmanship. You have swordsmanship skills, so you can think of yourself as talented. ’

We both caught a lot of monsters without any injuries, so the atmosphere back home was warm-hearted.

“Kaiyan, will you stop by the exchange? ”

“Yes, leave your pockets empty for tomorrow. ”

“Oh! He's full of confidence in one day! You look great! Kuhaha!”

The Exchange is where Alliance soldiers exchange coins for the severed ears of monsters.

When classified large, more than 10 small monsters, 2 medium monsters, and 1 large monster will be exchanged this way.

My Exchange visits have only been one so far.

That means I've captured less than 20 monsters before.

‘Twenty ears in my pocket right now, maybe more than 30. A lot has changed in one day. ’

“Kaiyan, you'd better buy some defense gear if you're not planning on saving money separately." Good armor costs a lot of lives. ”

The exchange also serves as a shop for simple food, weapons, and defense equipment.

As it turns out, most of the shoddy armor you were wearing today was damaged due to heavy combat. It's suicide to continue to fight on the battlefield in armor like this.

“I'll think about it.”

By the time I got to the exchange with Jeff, there were already a lot of people.

After waiting for a long line, it was my turn, and I pushed my pouch towards the merchant with the long beard, and he started counting his pouch.

“Hmm, 37 Goblins, 2 Knols, 19 Silver and 90 Coopers. You look young. You're good. ”

‘Because Goblins are 50 Coopers... 70 Coopers per dog they play. ’

Nineteen silver ninety percent in one day.

It's more money than I expected Of course, 9 out of 37 Goblins were the ones that hunted yesterday.

I gave the money back to the merchant and looked at him as if he needed something.

“I'd like to buy some defense gear with that money. ”

“What do you want? ”

“Well…. ”

19 silver is not small, but it's a lot of money to match the right armor.

‘You'd better hit at least one spot. ’

The moment you quickly cut off your mind and want to talk about your selected armor.

“I'll give you an extra 80 silver, so give him the defense gear he needs. ”

Jeff, who was exchanging monsters' ears by his side without a word, gave 80 Silver to the merchant.

Eighty silver is a lot of money for an average family to live on for months.

“Oh! Are you close? Okay! One gold and you have the right set of armor. ”

“Uncle Jeff! ”

I tried to return the money to him urgently, but the merchant quickly took the money.

“Haha! I told you to match the armor, so you have to take some responsibility." ”

“Still... 80 silver. It's too burdensome. Besides... You're saving up money for your family. ”

Jeff was the one who applied to the battlefield to make money for his family's living. I haven't heard the details, but I remember hearing it cost a lot of money because of my child's education.

“It's okay, kid! And I'm lending you this! That's why we don't let monsters kill us before we pay them back! Do you understand?”

“ ……. ”

The best luck I met on the battlefield was maybe not the player, but Uncle Jeff.

He has saved my life many times over, and he has taught me swordsmanship and not spared me many helpful advice.

Ever since the family was brutally killed by monsters, it was the first time that Jeff was kind to me for no reason.

“... I'll make it up to you. Thank you."

I felt a strange feeling coming from within, but my tears were fine in my eyes, but I endured it.

I made a commitment to return the favor to Uncle Jeff if he succeeds as a player.

“Here you go. I'll give you a good price for one gold. ”

After closing his eyes for a moment, the bearded merchant started with his shoulder blades and handed him a round shield overlaid with iron plates and a leather armor that protects his upper body.

This is quite good quality for 1 gold.

“Shields...”

The most satisfying of these is the round shield with a metal plate.

If I had a shield, I'd be more effective at fighting with a one-handed sword than a two-handed sword. Of course, I've never worn a shield before, so I feel confident.

‘Tomorrow's goal is not a Goblin, but a game. ’

Wearing a shield on your left hand gives you endless confidence.

War is already waiting for tomorrow. I'm going to slaughter some playmates.
