Chapter 35

Ch 35

After leaving the gate, he ran for at least three hours without a break. Hills and slopes gradually appeared and a dense forest could be seen everywhere. The area where bears and snakes appeared definitely had a different kind of atmosphere.

‘Doesn’t it mean that first-class monsters will appear from now on?’

However, Leeha did not worry about it that much. There were roads that connected different villages. In other words, he would be safe as long as he followed the road. Animals also had intelligence, and they would not come near the path where a lot of humans pass by.

“I pulled the brown bear! Be careful of green snakes appearing around you while tanking!”

“Have an antidote ready! Blah, blah.”

“Hmm?”

There was a noisy party on top of the hill. Leeha heard a strange skill name. The man, a tanker, was fighting with shields in both arms without any weapon.

‘There really are all kinds of jobs.’

The person who pulled the monster was probably an archer. There was a spear user, a swordsman, and a user with a rosary around his wrist.

‘As expected, there are no magic dealers.’

Bears are one of the most popular hunting grounds because magic or long-distance dealers do not have good compatibility with them.

Kkuoh, Kkuoh!

The size of the brown bear that appeared beyond the bush was larger than expected.

‘Originally, a bear is big but...

Bears in the zoo were threatening, but what about wild bears, especially in middle earth?! Of course, they would not put in a regular-sized bear. If bears in reality are the size of a car, that one was 1.5 times larger than that. Almost van level!

‘If you look closely, it would look like its body is trembling... The way they fight looks good.

Fighting against a bear the size of a van while using a spear or sword. The words “melee fight” and “bloody battle” really fit together.

The party should be on the appropriate level, but it looked like the 5 of them were having a hard time hunting the bear.

“If you poke it like that, the sword or spear will bounce off... What’s more, the range dealer does not deal any damage.”

In the first place, he was only there to draw aggro, and the ones to deal real damage are the melee users.

‘It has nothing to do with me anyway.’

Leeha turned his head back on the road. Not only is his level not high enough, but he was also not interested in bears at all. His plan is to go to the Musket Academy, learn skills, and level up in the forest where spiders and bats appear.

‘Currently, there is only one skill I can use for attacking. When I arrive at the academy, I will focus on replacing my weapon and acquiring new skills.’

He needed to learn at least one attack skill.

Runner’s high is for running, and bayonet charge is for emergency and could not be considered a combat skill.

What about weapons? He was still using the low-level, crude musket he received from his job change. Candle Castle sold weapons for low-level players in line with the graduation quest, the Golden Eagle, but Leeha could not afford one.

‘What kind of weapon could a person who didn’t have enough money to buy gunpowder buy? When others bought the next level of swords, shields, and staffs, he was saving for the rainy season.

He heard rumors that there was a quest that gave a weapon, among the quests when you go to the academy. Not many people go to Musket academy, but if the academies of all professions are similar, then, wouldn’t there be a weapon quest as well? That was what Leeha believed.

“Uwaaak! It’s a Brown Bear!”

Runaway, fast! We’ll die if we get caught!”

The forest suddenly became noisy. Several parties who were hunting began to rush out of the forest.

They have horrified expressions while running in a hurry.

“What? Brown Bear?”

The hunting ground quickly turned into pandemonium. Among the escaping people, some of them gathered together.

“Let’s catch the Brown Bear. Brown Bear!

.

We’re creating a raid! There must be at least 4 parties to catch the field boss!”

People who turned a crisis into an opportunity.

It was a very confident voice. Of course, he must have some knowledge of the Brown Bear.

One by one, those who had run away flocked around him.

“Gather around! Let’s go at once!”

“Woah...That... It’s walking on all fours...

It was as big as an elephant when walking on all fours, how tall would it be if it ‘stood up’.

Kuaaaaa—

[Agonia Oso used Roar.]

[You are in the state of ‘Fear’]

[You won’t be able to move for two minutes.]

[Total HP is reduced by 10%.]

[Stamina is reduced to 30% or less.]

“What is this? It’s crazy! Why did I get affected?”

Leeha roughly estimated that the distance between him and the Field Boss Brown Bear was around 70m.

However, even at such a far distance, he was affected by the abnormal status effect?

Considering that the magic range is usually 55m give or take, the effect of the roar is enormously wide.

However, instead of feeling flustered that his body was not able to move, or admiring the wide range of the field boss’s skill, he felt angry.

‘Damned bear bastard, this fucking feeling...

Because he was not able to move his body freely in reality, he enjoyed the freedom he got in Middle Earth more than anything else, but in a roaring room, he felt that way again!

“Uwaaak! P-prioritize me! Cleanse me first! Healer!”

“Me too! The bear is looking at me! Fast!”

When Leeha stared at the bear with cold eyes, several users in fear were screaming like crazy, flustered and scared.

The Brown Bear was massive enough that they were afraid to face it. How much more would they feel when they are paralyzed while facing such a monster. It was natural to panic!

The tankers and dealers are scrambling to get cleansed first.

The unity of the raid, which looked great just before, was cracked in one roar.

“Hoo-wook, I can resist three hits, so prepare the tanks right away! Please turn its aggro! Cleanse the status abnormalities in the order of healer, tank, and dealer!”

Shouted the two shield users.

Petal Kim took a step. Maybe he was trying to show how to be a leader?

Of course, there was no such thing as touching the brown bear by Petal Kim’s actions.

Kwaaang, the huge forefoot bent down like a whip.

“High Guard!”

Pit, two shields wrapped in blue light.

Kwaahang-!

Dust and torn grass scattered in the air. An attack strong enough to generate a shock wave. A huge claw mark was left on the shield, but he stood still.

While absorbing the attack of the giant brown bear as it is.

“B-Blocked?”

“Amazing! The party leader is awesome!!”

“I can do it, hurry up!”

“Kyuoh!”

“Okay, it’s removed!”

Magic that canceled an abnormal state that was activated in time. Blocking the brown bear’s attack and holding up the leader and canceling the status abnormality increased the morale of the raid.

“Penta-Stab!”

“Spin Crash!”

“Starfall!”

After two or three steps of the tanks, the dealers attacked the brown bear and randomly used their skills.

A sword stabbing the bear five times in a row, a lancer sticking a rotating spear blade into its belly button, and a morning star slamming a glowing bear’s paws. The tankers managed the aggro at the right moment whenever the dealers deal too much damage.
