Chapter 26: (2): Season 1 – Preparation

Chapter 26: (2): Season 1 – Preparation

At the same time.

As the Slayer Alliance, centered around the Pyramid Guild, made its mark in Guwol-dong, Park Sung-hyung, the commander of IUET, along with Ha Jong-won and Yoo Hyun-seok, began their ascent up the mountain.

Hyun-seok spoke up.

Sung-hyung, just so you know, I still havent mastered controlling my strength.

If Hyun-seok wished, he could unleash the Slayers power and roam around the battlefield. However, he couldnt properly control his own body at the moment. It took him over six months to get accustomed to the power of a hundred. And now, it exceeded two hundred. In fact, his power surpassed three hundred. Yet, he still couldnt handle that power properly.

Its okay. I brought only you and Jong-won with me for a reason

Sung-hyung and Jong-won chuckled in unison. They had more faith in Hyun-seoks abilities than Hyun-seok himself did. Sung-hyung had acquired a smart encyclopedia that provided real-time information on monsters. Although the monster they were about to slay wasnt the exact same as the one in the encyclopedia, it was expected to be similar. It had two heads, which meant it would be stronger.

To be honest, Hyun-seok could handle that guy alone.

Thats true.

When Hyun-seok gained power that didnt suit the easy mode, the monsters in the easy mode were no match for him. Now, he possessed power that didnt suit the normal mode. In other words, it meant that the monsters in the normal mode were no match for him either.

Hyun-seok, still unable to control his power, casually warned Sung-hyung to be careful, not as a genuine concern but rather as a formality, before asking him a question.

But how did you discover it?

Well Theres a guy named Myeong-hoon whos close friends with Jong-won. Hes a bit of an eccentric.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

An eccentric?

When he entered the normal mode, there was something about discovering dungeons that are recognized as an achievement. Hes been obsessed with finding dungeons and traveling all over the country. Thats how we encountered the monster where we were going.

Oh I see.

But that thing isnt causing any trouble; hes just napping on a rock.

Napping? The monster?

It was unheard of for a monster to take a nap. To blatantly nap meant

At least in that vicinity, we can assume its the strongest monster.

Indeed, it could be considered the strongest in that area. Now that he thought about it, Hyun-seok remembered hearing the notification sound Boss Monster detected in a certain location when he wiped out the Twin-Headed Orcs. So, it was highly likely that the thing napping there was a boss monster.

If things go well we might receive an achievement reward.

It could be an opportunity to obtain the first achievement reward since entering the normal mode. It was definitely different from before. Hyun-seok discovered a tingling excitement in himself, knowing that he could obtain achievement rewards. He quickly nodded and regained his composure, speaking up.

Ah, it seems to be a boss. Even when I dealt with the Twin-Headed Orc before, it was considered a boss because it was a difficult achievement.

The Troll of Guwol-dong! A triumphant feat achieved by Korean slayers!

The first-ever sighting of the monster! Undoubtedly the forefront of slaying!

Dazzling performances by over 30 individuals, including the Pyramid!

They say that to glimpse into the future of Korea, one should look at Japan ten years ago. From a Korean perspective, it might be unpleasant, but there is some truth to it.

However, slaying has become the opposite phenomenon. Not only in Japan but worldwide, people are observing Korea to predict their own future. This is because the events that first occurred in Korea are gradually spreading worldwide. The cause is unknown, but the phenomenon has emerged, and foreign slayers and news outlets have started researching the characteristics and strategies to combat the Troll diligently.

Yet, at first, it seemed unnoticed until even more astonishing news spread.

Twin-Headed Troll Emerges! Shocking Power Level: 4500!

Amid everyones focus on Guwol-dong, a bloody battle ensues!

Deep within Bukhansan, a brutal battle unfolds!

When attention was fixed on Guwol-dong, some Slayers succeeded in slaying the Twin-Headed Troll. The fact that the Twin-Headed Troll was registered in the Monster Encyclopedia was thanks to none other than Park Sung-hyung, the leader of the Korean Union.

The grandeur of the Korean Unions leader.

A top-tier Korean Slayer, surpassing all expectations!

With whom did he undertake this slaying?

According to rumors, the Korean Union supposedly dispatched around 30 of their most skilled Slayers, risking their lives to hunt down the Twin-Headed Troll. In reality, it wasnt 30 individuals, but only four. To be more precise, it was just one person. However, rumors tend to be distorted and exaggerated.

Due to the unwavering trust in Hyun-seoks abilities, they quickly set off in small numbers. But somehow, the rumors spread, and curious civilians who didnt want Slayers to get injured speculated that the Twin-Headed Troll was secretly slain without anyone knowing. Dream interpretation was far more preferable than reality.

The already elevated status of the Korean Union soared even higher, and Park Sung-hyungs name reached new heights. Park Sung-hyung announced that among the Slayers who participated in the slaying, Jong-won, a solo Orc Slayer, was present. This solidified Jong-wons position as the strongest Slayer in Korea. Other Slayers chose to keep their identities hidden, declaring that they would remain anonymous. Interestingly, people became even more enthusiastic about this announcement. It was as if they were secret heroes, hidden figures. Though a closer examination would reveal some peculiarities, people didnt pay much attention to those points. The results were what mattered.

Nevertheless, the appearance of the Troll and Twin-Headed Troll marked the proper commencement of the Normal Mode, and a few days later, another piece of news struck Korea.

In other words, a new change had begun in Korea.

Changes in the Normal Mode. Its not over yet!

Evolving Normal Mode. Where does it end?

Is this the start of the full-fledged Normal Mode?
