Chapter 50 – 049 Mountain Turtle
Seeing the werewolf walking proudly, Hwanin murmured with a smile on his face.
“You’re a werewolf.”
I looked at the sand-colored werewolf, wondering if there were even vampires.
It is not a human raised by wolves, but a monster that has been transformed into a human by wolves.
The legs are inversely articulated and the forepaws are more like arms than feet. The forearms were as thick as Hwanin’s thighs, and the legs seemed to have been brought with logs.
The elongated milky white claws at the tips of the four fingers look rather sharp.
While slowly walking towards the werewolf and gathering information, he also draws the soul of the dead speckled wolf and turns it into a soul orb.
Concentrate your consciousness and lead it so that the remaining souls do not disappear.
‘The remaining duration of the Soul Shield and Necromancer is about 8 minutes.’
Anyway, the effect of the program is low, and the spot wolf’s soul is also low. ….
“…….”
As the distance got closer, the transparent aura surrounding the werewolf’s body began to be seen. At the same time, Hwanin’s heart started beating with excitement.
When he stood face to face with the werewolf, leaving a distance of about 20m, the annoyance that lingered in Hwanin’s chest disappeared as if he had washed it before he knew it.
What filled the void was the exhilarating joy through fierce battles, and the anticipation of being able to feel it again.
There was no vague feeling like the first time I saw a razor-thin boar or when I ran into a boss ape. I just had a feeling that fighting would be fun.
The werewolf, who read Hwanin’s expectations, raised his head and expressed the fighting spirit he raised from the depths of his lungs with a howl.
Aww woo woo–!!
A refreshing roar that seemed to pierce the eardrums and pierce the chest made the spotted wolves immediately back away and sit on their buttocks like a gallery.
Hwanin raised the corner of his mouth in a gesture that clearly meant that he would not interfere in the fight, and he took the position he thought was most comfortable.
The werewolf likewise lowers his body, exposing his sharp fangs.
Hwanin’s eyes were shining with his legs spread diagonally shoulder-width apart and the spear held with both hands pointed at the ground.
A werewolf with his knees bent and his upper body lowered, his left hand on the ground and his right hand hidden behind his back.
The two beings, who were staring into each other’s eyes, jumped out toward each other at the same time.
The werewolf’s charge was, as the expression says, like an arrow.
The werewolf, who narrowed 20m at once with the power of his thighs, threw a deadly scratch on Hwanin’s head that could even topple a tree.
Before that, Hwanin’s spear had already cut through the werewolf’s right shoulder.
His shoulder was cut by a span, and the trajectory of the attack was misaligned, so the 50cm long fingernails narrowly cut through Hwanin’s forehead.
Whoa!!
“Ahhh!”
The two passed by each other, turning their bodies at the same time and pouring an onslaught at the other.
As if not paying attention to the wound on his right shoulder, the werewolf’s claws stormed from side to side.
If you get hit by that nail even once, you die.
Hwan-in was extremely focused and cut off and stabbed the werewolf’s body all over the place while shedding each one of his attacks.
Visor! Puck, Pavabat. Tak, jjajaejaeng!
Hard to believe, the black spear pole completely blocks the werewolf’s claws that break the triple-layered soul shield like tofu and cut through the three layers of the extremely tough suit coat, suit top, and suit vest like paper.
Hwanin, whose faith in his weapon grew stronger, began to see the werewolf’s muscle movements in his eyes as his eyes throbbed with the pleasure of burning carbonic acid in his head.
Based on the information pouring in, the straight spear begins to bend like a snake, and it begins to cut off every werewolf’s attack.
The world that Hwanin perceives is strangely slowing down.
The attacks, which at first had to be focused, now seemed like slow motion, and each of the werewolf’s attacks was locked in my mind.
In addition to parrying the attack, it reads the attack pattern indicated by the muscles and movements, stabbing the joint, slashing the knee, and splitting the thigh before the attack even starts to cancel the attack.
The problem is that his movement is also slow.
Hwanin responds to the werewolf’s attack by strengthening his arms, waist, and legs enough to cause his muscles to rupture while increasing his wounds.
Koo-oh-oh–oh-oh-oh-!!
At the same time, the werewolf’s attacks became heavier and sharper, trying to break down Hwanin’s defense.
If you block it with a weapon, I will destroy it. It is an attack with such an intention.
Tuqak- Perberbuck- Khagak, Jiik-
The impact caused by the clash between the nails and spearheads dozens of times, and all the load of piercing and slashing the werewolf’s skin were concentrated on the forearms, and the arms began to feel dull.
There is no doubt that a werewolf’s strength surpasses his own. Short-distance movement speed is also overwhelming.
However, his visual acuity, reflexes, and agility are far superior to him.
As if proving that fact, the frequency at which werewolves allow blows to the body increases. The sand-colored fur of the body spreads wide open to vomit blood.
But for some reason, the werewolf was ignoring defense.
The reason soon became apparent. The wounds inflicted by Hwanin were healing in real time.
It’s like a slow rewind of time.
Hwanin felt goosebumps and joy that made his skin tingle.
His attacks are ineffective. However, even a single hit would be fatal. On top of that, a high-speed scuffle where two attacks were exchanged in one second.
In the face of a formidable enemy, the muscles of the whole body emitting power screams of joy.
It’s a pity that I can’t laugh out loud because of breathing control.
Hwanin, who exchanged battles dozens of times in an instant, felt his breath fill up to the bottom of his chin. However, he is not impatient and waits with his eyes shining.
And the time we’ve been waiting for has come. A chance to reverse the current situation that has fallen into a deadlock.
Watching the movements of the werewolf’s left and right shoulder muscles, Hwanin sharply opened his eyes and gave strength to his arms.
‘Now!’
As soon as he catches the sign of an attack sweeping his right with his left arm, he stabs the werewolf’s left forearm and cuts it by a third.
The blow he received right before the attack slightly knocked him off balance and turned the werewolf’s body slightly to the left. The right arm’s diagonal downward stroke, which was supposed to be continued with a gap of 1 second between the commas, became longer due to that.
Right after that, Hwanin retrieves the blade he had stabbed and at the same time steps back slightly and swings the tip of the hilt with centrifugal force.
The right elbow of the werewolf trying to reach the demon is the target.
Clap!
Big?!
And the tip of the spearhead strikes the elbow with lightning speed and precision.
The perfect parry turns the werewolf’s upper body to the left.
To Hwanin’s eyes, the right rib was clearly visible.
“Ahhh!!”
I put all my strength into the spear blade, which had turned to the right while striking it with the spear, and swung it to the left. A 1m wide flash resembling moonlight cuts deeply through the werewolf’s side.
Squeak— Boom!!
“Kuh… !?”
Right after that, Hwanin received a shock that seemed like his abdominal organs would explode and was blown backwards.
What I saw as it flew away was a werewolf with a split side and a foot in a side kick.
It’s a shame because the transversus abdominis, internal oblique, and external oblique muscle were cut through the barrel, so they couldn’t give strength and rotation to the legs. If it wasn’t for that, the ship would have exploded with just one blow.
Hwanin giggled even in the pain that made it difficult to breathe and held out the middle finger of his left hand.
Puff!!
A double compression soul explosion exploded from the widened werewolf’s side.
A werewolf slumped to the ground with his body folded sideways so much that he thought he might have a broken spine.
Not blood, but fragments of torn intestines flying around, but the werewolf did not die and stood up. Hwanin also jumped up, ignoring the pain.
Seeing that the werewolf did not lose his fighting spirit even while spitting up blood from his nose and mouth, Hwanin also cut off his nerves in his numb stomach and ran to the werewolf.
The werewolf did not pay attention to the wound on his side and rushed at Hwanin with his intestines stretched like a rope.
“Aaaaa!!”
Kuhuhuhh-!
After that, it was a brawl like never before.
The difference is that the Werewolf can hardly use his right arm, and his speed and power are drastically reduced, and Hwanin also loses a lot of sharpness and sharpness and wields his spear like a club.
Pop!
Kreuk!
Perbung!
Squeak…… !
However, Hwanin still had the skill to deal with the soul.
Hwanin focused on parrying the wolf monster’s attack and caused a soul explosion on the werewolf’s side, which was tattered as if the monster had eaten it.
Blow vigorously several times.
As the explosion continued, the werewolf’s sides widened, and his abdomen was torn apart. If you look closely, you can see whitish vertebrae.
Werewolves lost more than 90% of their attack power and speed.
The attack from the log-thick legs and forearms the size of an adult man’s thighs are still powerful, but the speed to support the attack has disappeared.
Spark-
The werewolf, who stumbled and exposed a gap, fell to the ground with a wound that cut his thigh in half.
It’s my win
It was the moment when Hwanin, holding his spear high with both hands, was about to put it on the collar of the fallen werewolf.
=Ahh!!=
=Ninniim!!=
Hwan-in, who was about to cut off the head of a werewolf rampaging like a zombie to make sure he didn’t die, looked back involuntarily at the screams of women who pierced his ears with excitement.
He said he was winning, so why are you screaming?
= Run away! =
=Side!! Sideways clothes!!=
=Look at Euninnim’s side Ohok!!=
‘Side?’
The moment he naturally looked to the right, Hwanin couldn’t think of anything for about a second.
If you witness a huge mortar the size of a building come down from the sky, even modern people other than Hwanin will have no choice but to be mentally stunned.
Because of that, Hwanin missed the timing to escape, and the mortar struck the ground.
Wooooo!!!
A mortar with a circumference of hundreds of meters was shot down 5 meters down the side, so his eardrums throbbed and his body vibrated as if his intestines were shaking.
From Hwanin’s point of view, it couldn’t be more fortunate. And thanks to the vibration, Hwanin, who came to his senses, immediately turned around and ran toward the women.
Bubber Bubbubung… !!
Of course, he didn’t forget to throw all his remaining soul orbs and explode them inside the werewolf’s body.
If he didn’t die even after doing this, that would be the werewolf’s fate.
“Heo-eok, hee-eok!”
= Eunin!=
= Aww! I thought my benefactor was dying~!”
Upon reaching the place where the women were, Hwanin looked back while receiving a warm welcome from the women, and only then did he learn the identity of the building-sized pestle.
Cood deed deed…… Koo Woo-
Ggggg… Whoops-
A mountain tortoise the size of an aircraft carrier was moving carefree in the world, literally showing no interest in this side.
“Her…….”
He noticed that what he had witnessed was the tortoise’s front paw, and Hwanin let out a blank laugh. And hardened his face.
Did the mountain turtle intervene to save the werewolf?
‘That’s probably not it.’
People don’t have to worry about two ants grumbling under their feet.
It was the same with the mountain turtle.
It is said that there is a difference that it carries a mountain instead of a shell, but its behavior and appearance are no different from land tortoises. The mountain turtle just slowly crosses the ridge.
Whoa……. Woo woo woo……….
Hwanin, who watched the mountain turtle cross the ridge leaving a large footprint with the women, suddenly noticed that the werewolf had disappeared.
Where the werewolf was strewn about, there was only a puddle of blood with fragments of entrails floating around.
“…….”
Judging from the traces that started in the puddle and continued down the slope, it seemed that they had fled by dragging their lower bodies.
Women look at the traces and stick out their tongues.
=Did you run away with your belly skin torn?=
= Whoa. The vitality is very tenacious.=
= Maybe it’s because it’s Bardul…….=
Perhaps it was because he had fought a short but thrilling and exhilarating battle, and the annoyance that had filled his heart and head subtly disappeared, so Hwanin asked in a sensitive tone as usual.
“Is that werewolf called Bardul?”
= Oh, yes. Originally, we, Luke, were one of the unified races, but they rejected God’s blessing and lived like animals, and ended up becoming animals.=
“…….”
They said they were werewolves because they stood on two legs like humans, no matter how you look at it, they weren’t human, but they said they were the same species as women?
I had more questions, but I didn’t ask more because I didn’t think it was important. I just do it because I say so.
Rather than that, I was more concerned about the throbbing feeling in my stomach that had been kicked.
‘It’s not like the intestines were ruptured.’
If that was the case, I wouldn’t be able to stand like this, so it wouldn’t be like that.
=…… ?=
Then, Ennel glanced at the pool of blood and picked up a bloody stone the size of her finger. After seeing that, Nii approaches and asks.
=What is that?=
= I don’t know. It’s not a bloody stone……. Did Bardul spill it?=
=Then isn’t that the equipment material?=
Ennel, who nodded his head, wiped his blood clean on the leather clothes he was wearing and politely handed it to Hwanin.
The blade boar’s molars are large, so they carry them, but they thought it would be better for Hwanin to carry these small ones himself.
= Eun-in. Here.=
“…… ?”
Hwanin, who was handed a bloody stone, felt a strange feeling like a pearl colored stone spreading through his palms to his entire body.
The pearl-colored stones soften the flow of warmth and cold within the body, but the blood-colored stones make the body slightly warmer or cooler.
‘Does this also have unusual powers like pearl-colored stones?’
However, the feel of the blood-colored stones and the feeling of warming the body are quite good. It feels like receiving cold and warm compresses alternately.
Even if it wasn’t, it felt like the fatigue of the overworked muscles while fighting the werewolf was being relieved.
Hwanin, who was fiddling with blood-colored stones and looking at the mountain turtles disappearing over the ridge, said to the women.
“Werewolves and spotted wolves are gone, so let’s cross the canyon right away.”
=Yes!=
=Yes!=
They were never attacked again while passing through the gorge.
Hwanin arrived at the point where the low ridge merges with the high ridge after running for about an hour, wiping the sweat from his forehead and looking around, his vision widened.
= It’s a lake! I can see the lake!!=
= Ahh…… Finally, finally…….=
=…….=
Ahead stretched out a great lake, like an emerald sea, with an extended horizon.
An unnatural mountain rises on the shore of the lake, and that must be the shell of that mountain turtle.
Of course, that doesn’t mean the Great Lakes are nearby. There are low hills and forests between the lake and the current location.
A distance that would take half a day to go on foot.
Looking back, they saw a magnificent view that they did not think was the place they had passed through.
Ridges spread out like the backbone of the earth, and thick forests and small rivers seemed to protect those ridges.
It’s so beautiful, but if you ask me to go back there…….
‘At least I want to go alone.’
Hwanin shook his head and looked up at the sky. Just in time, the eyes met the emergency food, but the emergency food did not make any cry and slowly circled the sky.
It seems that all the monsters and beasts have escaped due to the aftermath of the mountain tortoise’s movement.
“Because that mountain turtle passed by, it seems that all the animals and beasts nearby ran away. We will take this opportunity to shorten the distance to our destination. Let’s move quickly.”
