The way back with Han Seo-yeon, who has regained some strength.

As expected, it was not easy to deal with such a monster in an instant, the body temperature felt on the back was quite hot.

You must have put a lot of strain on your body.

“Are you really okay?”

“It’ll be fine in a few days…”

“Is it raining?”

“…It’s okay.”

I’m worried, but what can I do when I say that I’m okay?

‘Even if I told him to rest in the first place, he wouldn’t listen.’

In the end, I gave up on inspecting the regressor bus, and slightly changed the direction of the conversation to ask about the previous slash.

About a slash with a power extremely similar to that of a supernatural power that instantly tore through the tortoise’s thick skin.

“What was that attack? Sounds like a supernatural power.”

“…You noticed it too.”

“Well, that’s right.”

I’ve seen Han Seo-yeon’s ability a few times.

I remember it because it was so powerful and impressive.

Because I am waiting for an answer with confidence.

“As you felt, it is true that the power was made use of her special ability.”

At last, the regressors began to release their knowledge.

“Is that possible?”

“It’s possible. In the first place, superpowers were processed by the Tower to make it easier for us to use them.”

“…Processing?”

Then does it have raw material abilities?

Like psychic powers?

It was a word that made me tilt my head.

Han Seo-yeon continued her explanation as if she knew that.

“It’s something you don’t need to know right now, so there’s no need to worry too much. Then…”

Suddenly, Han Seo-yeon, who had been talking that far, stopped.

Suddenly, I wondered why….

“…You just need to know that you can use your superpowers more widely than you think.”

Since she continued talking casually, it must have been difficult for a while——and passed it off.

“That way, you’ll be able to use your abilities more Variety.”

“Mmm.”

Anyway, ‘various’.

For me, who can’t even control the activation of my abilities yet, it seemed like a story too far away.

Because I’m struggling so much.

Han Seo-yeon lifted me up from her troubles.

“And, in the meantime, the level of ability has gone up, right?”

“Huh? Uh huh. But nothing has improved.”

Even though it was ranked D, the only thing was that the duration was slightly longer.

The cooldown starts from the time you use the ability, so the time the ability is empty has decreased….

Honestly, it was a bit disappointing.

“Perhaps the perfect reflection ability is too strong, preventing the growth of the overall ability.”

“No, could it be?”

“Because there are as many superpowers as there are people. That’s possible.”

… It means that my ability is a special case.

“Sorry.”

“It’s okay since it’s still usable enough.”

“That’s…fortunate.”

For some reason, I was a little surprised by Han Seo-yeon’s attitude.

As if that was obvious again, Han Seo-yeon lightly strangled my neck.

Just not enough to choke her. Come on.

“No, I’m sorry.”

“….”

As I walked while jokingly tapping to be released.

She arrived near the village before she knew it.

“Stop that way!”

“Don’t back down!”

As I was worried about, the monsters were rampaging.

Although the orcs are easily defeated.

Since the number is too large, the damage is gradually accumulating in the village.

‘I should join first.’

At the moment I thought that, Han Seo-yeon got off my back.

“Leave me here.”

“Only me?”

“Then what should I do?”

I was trying to grumble.

I closed my mouth at the sight of Han Seo-yeon, who lifted her arm slowly and then dropped it helplessly.

‘He appeals to patients cowardly.’

I can’t say anything since I received and ate my altar….

I can’t help it.

“Be careful, just in case.”

“Just go fast.”

“Whew.”

Leave behind the careless send-off of the returner and use your magic power according to the simbeop.

The magic that filled the whole body gave a thrilling sense of liberation.

“Huh.”

I was thinking that I would become addicted to this.

I immediately spurred the ground and split the head of a monster.

… However, the fight after that wasn’t very interesting.

Because I became too strong, every time I swung the sword, the monsters were sliced away.

Even the green muscle massed orcs, who are 2 meters tall, easily defeated one or two monsters.

I thought the monsters who fled here were more unfortunate than the attacked orcs.

Perhaps even if I hadn’t joined, the orcs would have sorted it out on their own.

Anyway, after the bland battle.

I was surrounded by many people and was being thanked.

“Thank you.”

“Thank you…”

It’s because I saved Mr. Lee Seon-hwa’s party who saved me from getting hit in the middle.

… To be honest, I wasn’t happy at all.

Because I was too weak.

‘Aren’t supernatural abilities also for combat?’

I thought it was a hole from the first day, but it’s a bit harsh.

Need to say more since I regretted saving it.

… If this is the case anyway, it will have a bad ending.

Lee Seon-hwa must have had the same thoughts as me, but she was making a very bad expression.

Occasionally, I would look sideways at this side with meaningful eyes.

But why do you want her before you even hinted at her?

“Hyeonwoo!”

“There it is!”

“Huh?”

Dumb and Dumber duo came to see me with Haktan.

“Brother!”

“What’s up. Brother.”

“Kuhuh, I couldn’t stay still after hearing what these two were saying!”

… What else were you talking about?

“That’s right. Hyeonu apparently struck the head of the distracted monster!”

“We saw it clearly!”

“No.”

You have definitely seen Han Seo-yeon do that.

But they thought I was the one who hit the last hit with a reflex.

I was chanting my name for a long time.

“Nam Hyeon-woo, the sword that splits mountains!”

“Ohh! A sword that splits mountains!”

Even the orcs who heard the two of them started tossing one word at a time.

“Mountain!”

“Cleaving!”

“Sword!”

“Show us too!”

“Oohhh!!!”

“…Thanks everyone.”

I can’t explain it, and I can’t help but accept it because it seems like it won’t end even if I explain it.

“This is just like me!”

“…To be like brothers. It’s a great honor.”

“hahahahaha! The rest of us talk together!”

The mountain-shattering axe, Chief Haktan, excitedly slapped me on the shoulder.

Fortunately, when I used hard currency, my superpowers didn’t activate.

… If I hadn’t written it, it would have been activated.

Let’s be together with Haktan who is so excited that he can’t control his strength.

Haktan has been the first to express his gratitude.

“Thanks for solving the problem!”

“I just got lucky.”

“Luck is also skill. By the way, I never thought there would be such a monster upstream…”

Looking at the burdensome look at me, he seemed to ask me to tell him how he caught it.

It was something I couldn’t do, so I decided to reverse the flow of the story.

“…I’m sorry about this incident.”

“Hmm?”

“Damages occurred in the village due to insufficient clean-up on this side.”

“No, what do you mean bro.”

“I have no face.”

I don’t even know what I’m talking about.

‘But I must be wrong here.’

Hook your head down, and in a sad voice.

“Besides, a corpse of that size may cause problems later.”

Assuming the situation at random, Haktan opened his eyes wide as if he hadn’t thought of it.

“That’s something we can check later. If the flood really happened, it wouldn’t have ended like this.”

“Is that so…?”

“Yes, so don’t worry brother!”

“Thank you for comforting me.”

… Still, I’m glad Haktan is easy to handle.

After exchanging conversations like that.

Haktan abandoned the obscure topic and brought up a new topic behind his back.

Sword and shield.

This is probably the reward you should have received on the first day.

“The weapon I made earlier as an apology was just finished.”

“Ooh.”

“If it had been completed a little sooner, the monster would have been the first prey for the sword. What a pity!”

“Definitely.”

Actually, I didn’t regret it very much, but I reflexively agreed and looked at the weapon.

Both were slightly blackish, giving off a sophisticated look.

The sword looked sharp and the shield looked solid.

… There was nothing special about it other than that.

I don’t think my strength is springing up, so I don’t think my physical abilities are attached.

Due to the nature of melee weapons, I don’t think luck or magic will attach to it.

So it’s just a special function with no stats?

… I’ll have to go to Han Seo-yeon later.

“Huh. Thank you, I’ll write it well.”

“It’s nice to see you happy!”

First of all, I expressed my gratitude and kicked my sword and shield.

Come to think of it, I had a question for Haktan.

“Brother. I want to ask you something.”

“Something?”

“…Do you know what happened in the Forest of Trials?”

Because Shuhog made it clear before that the Chief knew.

You probably know.

I was really nervous about what to answer.

What came back was an unexpected answer.

“I…sorry, I can’t tell you.”

“Why?”

“Because if you hear what happened there, your brother’s tribe will start taking revenge.”

… Did something so terrible happen?

Is there anything more terrible than the infinite generation of corrupted gobrick you thought before?

Hmm.

“However, your tribe is too weak to seek vengeance. I do not wish to push you and your tribe to death.”

… Thank you for your concern.

It was not like Haktan, who believes in the honor of a warrior.

‘─ There is something more.’

Let’s continue talking while intuitively thinking that way.

“What if I still want to know?”

Like the first day. Haktan’s eyes glowed brightly.

“Then prove it.”

“How?”

“As soon as this rain stops, the duel will begin.”

Duel.

It was a kind of event where orc warriors fought within the tribe to show off each other’s strength.

“If the brothers’ tribesmen prove their strength in a duel.”

“What if?”

“…Then I’ll tell you everything I know.”

“Good.”

Three days after the bet between the two warriors was established.

The rain finally stopped.

─ The time for a great fight has come.
