Chapter 43: (1): Season 1: Preparation

No matter how much they attack, it seems futile. Even with hundreds of Slayers launching attacks, there was no sign of HP dropping.

The Gyeongin Expressway was plagued with severe traffic congestion.

The newly appeared turtle-like monster continues to move from Incheon toward SeoulIts moving speed is about 5 meters per hour. It is perceived as an incredibly slow speed.Slayers from all over the country are attempting slaying, but there is no significant gain. A giant turtle-shaped monster appeared on the Gyeongin Expressway. The size of the turtle monster was much larger than that of a Cyclops. It easily surpassed 5 meters in height and boasted an enormous body, almost completely blocking one lane of the Gyeongin Expressway. It was the largest monster that had appeared so far.

The Cyclops was the largest monster with a size of about 5 meters, but despite being huge, it had a nimble image. When it moved, it was incredibly fast and emitted a sense of intimidation. However, this turtle-like monster had an image focused on slowness, making it feel slow and massive.

Its moving distance per hour was about 5 meters. It was not just slow but practically motionless. Due to completely filling up one lane of the expressway, severe traffic congestion was occurring, and now the expressway was completely unusable. When the monster first appeared, there was panic, but not anymore. Instead, Slayers were gathering around it.

Hyun-seok raised an eyebrow.

A monster that doesnt harbor hostility towards humans

All the monsters that had appeared so far had shown significant hostility towards humans. Most of them would attack as soon as they saw humans. But this one was different. Min-seo explained with a serious expression, as if she had done a thorough search on the internet.

Its not that it doesnt harbor hostility Its just a complete coward, oppa.

Yeah.

In fact, its moving speed itself is faster. However, due to Slayers gathering and launching attacks, it couldnt move properly. At this point, it was moving at a level of a few centimeters per hour.

It seems it hides in its shell when it receives an attack because its scared.nove(l)bi(n.)com

The turtle monster didnt seem to have any means of attack. Of course, given its enormous size, simply walking could be a threat, but its movement was excessively slow, so it wasnt particularly dangerous.

Usually, there was almost no case of colliding head-on with someone coming from the opposite side. Unless they were drunk or distracted elsewhere. The movement of the turtle monster was so slow that it was almost impossible to get crushed by its feet unless you deliberately predicted the place where it would step and laid down, except when you were not lying down and sleeping.

In fact, Hyun-seok hadnt left for slaying these past few days because of Myeong-hoons request. Myeong-hoon was currently traveling around the country searching for hidden dungeons. In other words, he was obsessed with finding dungeons in normal mode. He asked to wait because he thought he would be able to find one soon.

According to Myeong-hoon, once the Slayer discovered a dungeon, it would no longer be a hidden dungeon. It would become a dungeon that anyone could easily find, just like in Easy Mode. So, he said it would be most efficient to clear it as soon as it was discovered. He had painstakingly found it, and if other guild members cleared it in the meantime, it would be a huge loss.

However, since there was still no contact, it seemed okay to participate in the turtle monster slaying. Moreover, it wasnt even dangerous. Where else could you find such a good slaying target? If its defense was so outstanding, it would be good for practicing power control as well.

In essence Its a matter of slaying while moving.

The problem now was the reward issue. Currently, Sori Inc. is developing a device to assess contribution points. However, nobody knows when it will be released. The research is still ongoing. But recently, progress in that research has slowed down a bit. Its because the distribution method based on contribution points has been applied inside dungeons, so there is a possibility that it will be applied in general fields as well. It would be a waste if they diligently developed it and the same system was applied in general fields.

Anyway, such a device has not yet been released, and objectively speaking, there is currently no way to assess the contribution points of each Slayer.

If almost a thousand people claim their share

Regarding the Red stone dropped by the Cyclops, the government initially offered 10 billion won, and although negotiations are still ongoing, it is highly likely that the amount will be set at least 13 billion won. At the very least, thats what they say. It didnt seem to be the case with the turtle monster. In any case, distributing a reward of 10 billion won would be a significant problem if hundreds of people claimed it as their own.

Even if its 10 billion won, it might be better to go and hunt an orc during that time.

Hyun-seok picked up his phone and contacted Sung-hyung.
