Chapter 8: (2): Season 1 Preparation

Thump!

The orcs attack hit the ground awkwardly. Although it was winter and the ground was quite hard, a small pit was created. The orc raised the wooden club again. This time, he saw Jun-hwans back figure, hobbling to join the party. The orc moved with angry footsteps. Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! Although he was not very familiar with bipedal locomotion, he was still faster than Jun-hwan, who was limping on his legs. At the moment when he was about to swing his wooden club toward Jun-hwans back of the head, Jong-won intervened.

Swish!

Bang!

Jong-wons massive hammer clashed against the orcs club. He swung it from bottom to top, putting his full weight behind the blow. Jong-won felt a tingling pain in his wrist.

This guy is no joke.

Pushed by Jong-wons strength, the orc, who had just been striking a triumphant pose, stumbled backward a few steps, unable to regain his balance.

Kroooaaar!

The orcs gaze fixed on Jong-won. He had successfully aggroed him.

Damn it. We need someone who can take his attack.

Thanks to Jong-wons attack, the orc was now completely exposed and vulnerable. If there had been another real slayer present, they could have dealt a significant blow. Not those useless fools who were too scared to even get close.

Jong-won shouted furiously, Youre no help, so get out of here!

The three of them flinched at Jong-wons momentum. Even though they knew they couldnt win, they couldnt understand why he was still fighting. Hajongwon was furious.

We cant even run away because of you! run away, you stupid bastards!

But, but

No buts Argh!nove(l)bi(n.)com

The orc didnt wait for Jong-won to finish his sentence. He swung his club at him. Jong-won raised his hammer horizontally to block the attack. Tingling pain ran through his wrist, shoulder, waist, and knee.

Damn it! You damn bastards! Cant you hear me? Run!

Despite the unbearable pain in his shoulder, Jong-won yelled, and the three of them started running away.

At least his attack pattern is simple. Thats the only good thing.

If the orc had performed an erratic attack, he would have been taken down mercilessly. He wasnt a combat slayer specialized in quick movements. He was a slayer who aimed for a big blow while waiting for an opportunity. Although it would have been easier if Lee Chae-rim had intervened and given him some help, he didnt really expect much from her. Of course, Lee Chae-rim was fast, but her stamina was too weak. Even allowing one hit from this clubs attack could be fatal.

If it were me I could take a few hits. Wait for the timing and run away

Isnt it because the matzah was too weak compared to this guys attack power? No, wait I saw the little guys punches earlier Its no joke how bouncy he is.

So I was worried too. But luckily, Im not hurt.

No. Thats not what I meant.

Above all, it was Min-seo who was surprised. She approached Hyun-seok.

Min-seo. So, youre saying that Oppa was a slayer?

Thats right I didnt plan on telling you, though.

He works at KEPCO, and he earns quite a bit of money from his part-time job as a translator. He lives a comfortable and peaceful life with a stable source of income. He didnt want to live as a slayer, so he didnt reveal it.

Why did you hide it from me?

Well, its not like I intentionally hid it

Min-seo stared at Hyun-seok for about 5 seconds before smiling brightly.

Of course, Oppa. Theres nothing you cant do. Its a bit unfair that you kept it a secret from me, though.

At that moment, the IUET guild members rushed in. The eyes of the deputy leader of IUET, Park Sung-hyung, widened. He looked very anxious.

Whats going on? Jong-won, show me that.

This? I was going to show it to you anyway

Park Sung-hyung took the mana stone from Jong-wons hand without waiting for an explanation.

Its a new type of mana stone.

After that day, the world became noisy once again, starting from Korea. A new type of monster, not in animal form, began to appear. These monsters dropped a different type of mana stone from the existing ones, which emitted green light and came to be called greens tones.

And with the emergence of greenstones, the world began to change more rapidly.
