71. Corrupted Lands Monster Hunt (4)

Let’s say you hunt monsters using telekinesis.

How well will the telekinesis I use pierce the monster’s hide?

And how much damage does it take?

This part was a very important part as an Awakener.

It was because the power of telekinesis could be used in so many different ways.

‘Damage has a low high point, which is a disadvantage, and an advantage is that there are various application methods, so the value becomes infinite depending on the sense of how the caster uses it.’

In fact, I couldn’t help but be disappointed in the fact that the ability I first realized was telekinesis.

There are a lot of good abilities, but why didn’t the telekinesis with a low peak get caught?

However, as I experienced the benefits of using telekinesis in real life (turning off lights without moving, showering without moving, eating without moving, wiping sh*t without moving, etc.), I realized that the ability I had was really good. .

When you awaken, you will get three abilities, but one of them is not bad for telekinesis.

If the other abilities were similar skills, it would be a problem.

Whoops! Shuwoowook ㅡ!

Anyway, the editorial is long, but the conclusion is one.

That I have no complaints that my first ability became telekinesis.

Telekinesis has many fields of application.

For example, when you jump once like me now, you use telekinesis to increase your jumping power.

Then ordinary people could travel through the forest at an absolutely impossible speed.

‘I’m sure I won’t have anything to say if I compare it to the Awoken.’

They will get this speed with their basic physical stats, without having to run with their abilities.

My telekinesis was still lacking in keeping up with them.

So the conclusion is this.

Just because you’re awakened, you don’t want to fool around with monsters.

‘Now I have to avoid meeting monsters as much as possible.’

My goal is to find Ariando and get out of here.

It was absolutely unacceptable for me to fool around just because I wanted to test my strength.

“Ugh!”

thud.

Moving fast, you have no choice but to accidentally bump into a tree.

Hearing the commotion, I was a little worried that the monsters were getting entangled.

Even so, he won’t follow me until he gets out of his realm.

To prevent monsters from chasing, if you see them nearby, turn slightly and run.

How far north did it move?

‘Looking at the map, there should be a monster near here…’

Since I carried the tracker with me for several days, I knew roughly where the monster was.

Now we have to find traces here and follow Ariando.

How many deep breaths did you walk around?

“Pi! Here you are.”

I found the monster blood splashed on the tree, and soon after I was able to confirm the traces of the battle.

There must have been some pretty rough fighting here.

I’ll check the traces closely…

“This shouldn’t have come out.”

Ariane was not alone in the traces near the monster.

It seems there were more people.

I saw bushes bent at random, human blood here and there, and bandages that hadn’t been repaired yet.

Judging from Ariando’s hunting style, there’s no way there was blood, so it can only be traces of someone else.

There were also a lot of footprints of various sizes.

I was embarrassed because I had never expected this situation.

Perhaps Ariando was worse.

“Did you hear it?”

Ariando is in a position not to be found out by others.

However, he would not have been able to avoid the seat in front of the monster.

Judging by the footprints and bloodstains here and there, it was inferred that they had a hard time with the monsters.

‘Ariando would have thought that saving people’s lives was more important. After all, what if I killed the monster and got caught by people?’

I would have been very upset.

And because of that embarrassment, the mistake must have been made.

What mistake did Ariando make?

I didn’t know if my family name was discovered or that I was a student.

Whatever it was, I needed to look around a bit more.

From noble mtl dot com

I deliberately did not look carefully at the places where there were many traces.

It is unlikely that Ariando left with them.

And finally.

“ah…”

I lifted the ‘thing’ that was lying on the floor.

“I wondered why I couldn’t contact you, and it was because of this.”

Why had there been no news from Ariando until now?

After checking this, I can clearly understand why.

A ‘bag’ placed in a place a little away from the traces of battle.

“Damn it, I left it all here.”

I understand that since I decided to go hunting, I have no choice but to leave all my luggage in order to lighten my body.

But isn’t it a bit harsh to leave everything to the extreme like this?

“Damn it. Did you leave your compass behind?”

Everything to eat was here, and all the scrolls he had brought were also here.

Isn’t it natural that I can’t find it since I left it there?

Rather, it would have been amazing if I had come without a bag.

“It’s dangerous.”

I was worried that my meddling might put him in greater danger.

I should have noticed the oddity earlier.

‘I hope it’s not too late. If he dies, it will never happen.’

I packed Ariando’s bag and moved in search of his traces.

The situation was very urgent.

With nothing to eat and no compass, it was unpredictable how far Ariando had moved in the past two days, not knowing how to navigate.

‘Since you don’t know that I am an Awakener, you must have tried to get out of the contaminated area somehow. But what if I took the wrong direction?’

please don’t go west

And if possible, not even north.

The only good things are the east and the south, but I was worried that I would have chosen the right option in the four choices.

‘Because I couldn’t eat properly, my stamina must have gone down, and I’m sure I’ve reached my limit by now.’

You have to find it.

The problem is that Ariando has a small body and light weight, and has excellent agility stats.

“If you use stealth on top of that, there is no answer.”

The search for traces began under the worst conditions.

It wasn’t easy, and to be honest, I thought it was impossible.

“It seems like I’ve been hurriedly running up to this point… .”

Judging by the broken tree branches, it must have jumped forward.

But from here on, it was even more hopeless.

It’s because the traces have been completely cut off.

“He must have used stealth.”

Even when I was active as a mercenary for a long time, I don’t think I’ve been looking for something this hard.

In addition, when he was a mercenary, he used scrolls to track down monsters to the end, but there was no such thing as a scroll to find people.

“It’s a bit vague.”

My abilities were of no help in finding people.

Looking for the tiny Ariando in this vast forest?

Wouldn’t it be the same difficulty as finding a needle in the desert?

‘Should I get help?’

Talk to the duke’s family and they’ll find Ariando, who is in distress.

The plan that I thought was perfect came to the realization that it was a mess.

And I was devastated that I had failed so badly in the second scenario.

It would be nice if I could just cause an explosion and know where it is… .

‘Is there no way.’

growl… !

“!!!”

what? sh*t! when so close… !

It wasn’t the time to be carefree.

A bleak life brushes past the nape of the neck.

I could feel the killing power of the monster aiming at me nearby.

When I hurriedly pulled back, my cool teeth raked my forearm coolly.

“Ugh!”

Yep!

I hurriedly pushed him away with all my might.

The monster that had gone farther than expected quickly robbed the seat and stood up.

Food good-!

It’s even quite relaxing to brush your hair.

‘Fight or flee. Either.’

In fact, this issue has not been a subject to ponder for a long time.

At least three of them were after me, and I was powerless to defeat them.

There was only one thing I had to choose.

just running away.

‘Escape is affected by agility, but how much is my agility?’

Of course, this isn’t in a game, so I won’t fail my escape attempt because I’m not agile.

… You may be caught in the middle while running away, but that’s it.

Still, I needed to think about how much my agility was.

Of course, the monster is an agile four-legged wolf monster.

It won’t be easy to keep up with them when it comes to speed.

Moreover, like a guy dealing with the Awoken, his appearance was much more terrible than the original wolf.

First of all, it had a lot of eyes, and it was as big as me.

‘It has two heads.’

It has two heads, but why three eyes?

The answer will come out when he grows up a little more.

Maybe one more head.

Just like Cerberus in mythology guarding the gates of hell.

‘It would have been a pity if there were three of them.’

Winning a running fight with a quadruped, by the way.

I was completely confident when I thought about whether I could do it.

That’s what you’re about to lose.

Maybe the nape of my neck or back would be torn by their teeth the moment I showed my back?

Still, it was something I had to do in order to live.

Fortunately, Ariando’s bag is in my hands.

Now that I am an awakened person, I am qualified to write a scroll.

Aww-!! aaahhhhh!!

Tear off the cool scroll.

My body felt lighter, and I felt a sense of exhilaration as if I could tear at least three monsters to shreds at any moment.

Of course, this is 100% bluff, so I should never be swayed by this emotion.

At best, how could he catch and kill three monsters who use strict force?

Of course, even if it’s completely useless, not using the ability you have is no different from saying you’re going to die, so I worked hard to gather my strength.

And throw your feet up in the sky!

“Ahh! Chew!”

Boooooong! The body shot up into the sky stumbles in the air.

The dogs barking at me from below must be staring at me with a puzzled look.

“Bastards, you stare at the roof like a dog after a chicken! hahahahaha!”

Currently, the ability is popped by scrolling.

I was capable enough to leap my body into the air.

It was very unstable and dangerous to float in the sky, but it was excellent at chasing four-legged beast monsters.

No matter what these guys do, they won’t be able to catch me flying through the sky.

“The direction… ”

kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkong!!

I’m sorry!!! kong!!

“f*ck.”

I heard the sound of animals barking and spinning around like mad dogs from below.

First of all, I need to get away from them and think about the direction or whatever.

If you’re chased by them, it’s clear that you won’t be able to fulfill your name.

in the visible direction.

I controlled my telekinesis and flew all the way through the sky.

Climbing too high could result in a lack of oxygen, and going too fast could lead to a erroneous trip and a fall into a tree.

I had to keep moving forward, jumping with just the right amount of force and pushing the wind against my face.

“Ugh!”

Of course, if it had moved as planned, he would have already reported the Awoken.

Just because I wished for it, it didn’t mean that I would be able to handle my abilities right away.

It was best to do some weird aerobatics and barely keep my body off the ground.

Sometimes the only chance to rest is to climb up a tree and wipe away sweat.

I’m sorry!

It was faint, but I could still hear the barking of the monsters chasing me from below.

“These guys are tougher than I thought. Well, I seduce you while shedding blood, but how can I not follow you?”

Would it make sense to treat the scrape on my forearm, or would it be better to run away a little further with that time?

I thought it would be nice if someone could help me.

However, it was impossible to find such a person in the forest deep in the contaminated zone.
