Chapter 38

Episode 38

“What a mean-looking guy.”

Jang Gil-su looked at the minotaur walking out of the open wall and said.

“Can I eat that? A cow that walks on two legs… That’s a bit creepy. is not it?”

He unfastened the belt around his waist. There were several knives inside.

Slurp –

I took out two knives.

Compared to his large size, the knife he used was not very large.

It was a bone knife used for boning.

“What is the strategy?”

“Like when I entered the labyrinth.”

“I guess you can live your own life. good. Then I’ll take the first step. Butchers cannot sit idle while slaughtering cows. “Isn’t that so?”

In response to Namgung’s answer, Jang Gil-su started running toward the Minotaur without hesitation.

“Do you have any weaknesses? “Don’t you know more about cows than anyone else?”

Park Hyo-joo followed behind him as he ran.

“It has its weaknesses.”

Jang Gil-su grinned at her question.

“After all, he is a living being with a beating heart. “Whether you are a cow or a human, if you stop breathing, you die the same way.”

“What is that….”

Whoops!

Jang Gil-soo dodged the Minotaur’s axe, crawled into his arms, and stabbed the knife between his ribs.

Jook-!

At that moment, surprisingly, the monster’s movements stopped.

Crackle…!!

As he twisted the knife, the wound opened with the sound of bone grinding.

Wow!!

I put my arm inside it and pulled with all my might, and it clicked! With a sound, the Minotaur’s ribs bent and popped out.

[Kaaaaagh!!!]

With a scream, blood poured out from between my gaping ribs. Even though Jang Gil-su was covered in blood, he didn’t care and put more strength into his arms.

puck!!

The man’s bones broke with a dull sound.

Buuuuuung–!

The minotaur staggered and swung its large ax to remove Jang Gil-su.

However, instead of falling, Jang Gil-su rammed his broken rib into the guy’s chest.

Shoo! Shush!!

At the same time, he took out two more bone knives from his waist and plunged them into the monster’s legs.

Beatle-!

The moment the minotaur’s center collapsed, Jang Gil-soo went behind him and bit the nape of the minotaur’s neck with his teeth.

Wood-dud-duk…!!

“…Sigh!”

After spitting out the bitten flesh and stabbing the rest of the knife through it, he stepped back, put the flesh in his hand into his mouth, and started chewing it. Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Wow, Nurinnae. “It’s so tasteless.”

He held the cut piece of flesh in his mouth as if he were chewing gum.

He frowned, but the moment he gulped and his uvula moved, the energy he gave off clearly changed.

“Hoo… Do you see this guy?”

Just a moment ago, Jang Gil-su grinned at the intense energy that instantly spread throughout his body.

‘He is indeed the king of gluttony. ‘I haven’t completely developed my qualities yet, but I can’t believe it is like this.’

Namgung watched his battle calmly.

Even though he didn’t seem to have any particular combat skills, he was surprisingly overwhelming the Minotaur.

Park Hyo-joo, who followed him, also stood there with a blank expression, as if she couldn’t find a chance to help, and just watched Namgung’s thoughts.

“good. “Now it’s going to be a bit more fun.”

While receiving the attention of the two people, Jang Gil-su grabbed the knife again towards the minotaur whose side was torn.

“I think I should catch that guy. “There will be no objection, right?”

“If I can catch it.”

“It’s just gum as long as you eat it. I guess you don’t really know my abilities yet. “Just stay there and watch.”

Jang Gil-su took a deep breath towards the Minotaur. Then his eyes flashed red.

‘Light meat, strong food.’ The ability of gluttony has been activated.’

Namgoong knew which card he believed in.

‘When hunting animal-type monsters other than humanoids, the abilities increase, and once a monster is eaten, its abilities are weakened due to the effect of coercion.’

[Crrrrrrr….]

As if to prove his thoughts, the minotaur standing in front of Jang Gil-su stepped back as if he was frightened.

‘In the later stages, the summoning of animal-type monsters such as demons, dragons, and leviathans decreases, but it is definitely a deceptive ability in the early stages.’

“Where…!!”

Jang Gil-soo instead rushed towards the retreating Minotaur.

Buuuuung…!!

There was no way he could easily hit the ax, which was moving at a significantly slower speed than before. Jang Gil-su dodged the ax with ease and dug inward once again.

“How dare you set up shop in my neighborhood? “I’ll apply it to everything except your horns!!”

Jang Gil-su jumped up, stepped on the minotaur’s shoulder, and grabbed it with both legs as if strangling its neck.

“How on earth can that big guy fight like that? Are you a real butcher? Even with special training, he can still do that….”

“It’s because of the qualities he has. “His abilities are increasing, but the Minotaur is largely weakened by his intimidation.”

“…It’s a ridiculous ability.”

“i think so too. But I don’t think your abilities are any lower than his.”

“is that so?”

“The strength of telekinesis is determined by mental power. That means that if you support it with mental power, you can generate strength that surpasses your physical ability. Moreover, the attack range can be increased to near infinity.”

Namgung pointed to Jang Gil-su, who was fighting the Minotaur.

“When I asked him to teach me, I didn’t just mean to study the weaknesses he gained while dismantling monsters. But that doesn’t mean you should watch that big guy acrobatically hunting monsters.”

“then…?”

“His boning ability to apply bone and flesh is not something that can be achieved just by using force alone. “It means look at how he distributes his power.”

Park Hyo-joo slowly nodded at his words.

“If you can make Jang Gil-soo’s skills your own… you can complete a one-hit-kill battle with no blind spots, not only in close combat but also at long distances.”

Namgung told her.

“You will need time, but it is not a situation where you can take your time… If you are a glutton like Jang Gil-soo, you are absorbing all the abilities of those strong people.”

“Maybe someday I can learn your skills too?”

“That’s impossible.”

Park Hyo-joo burst into laughter without realizing it at his answer, which clearly drew a line.

Suddenly-!!

Jang Gil-soo slashed the Minotaur’s thigh with his knife held in reverse.

“It looks like it will be over. “The road was arduous, but the boss ended very easily.”

“I don’t think so.”

“yes?”

‘Jang Gil-soo’s ability is certainly amazing, but…’

Namgung slowly lowered his head.

‘It’s a shame the weapon isn’t there.’

The main knife he used was neither obtained from a monster nor sold at Yasha Bundle.

It was a regular knife that he had used for deboning.

‘You probably use it because it is the weapon you are most familiar with and confident in, but…’

Unless it was for combat, there was bound to be an unavoidable limit to the strength of the blade.

‘It might have been effective against small monsters such as goblins or lizardmen, but it is not enough to deal with Minotaurs, whose leather is tough and strong.’

Sigh…! Kang!!!

And just as he expected, Jang Gil-su’s blade that was cutting his thigh could not withstand the tough leather and broke.

“…!!”

Buuuuung-!!

When the Minotaur threw a punch, Jang Gil-su threw away the broken knife and stepped back.

“Tch, you’re a tough guy. It doesn’t matter though. “He’s almost a blood clot anyway.”

Jang Gil-su waved his hand as if telling no one to come forward.

Only then did Namgung understand why he had lost one leg when he came out of the Minotaur’s labyrinth.

‘It looks like we haven’t figured out another characteristic of the Minotaur yet. Since I ate its flesh, if I used my gluttony ability properly, I would have been able to figure it out. ‘You’re overconfident.’

[Couuuuuu–!!]

As the blood-covered Minotaur roared, his eyes turned black. At the same time, Jang Gil-soo’s wounds healed in an instant.

‘Beserk.’

The moment Namgoong slightly opens his eyes, boom! thud! thud! With the sound of hoofs pounding on the ground, the monster raised its horns and rushed towards Jang Gil-su.

“…!!!”

Unlike before, the speed was incredible.

Jang Gil-soo’s strategy of killing the jungle no longer worked for the guy who lost his fear due to the berserk attack.

Kwasik-!!!

The minotaur’s horn pierced Jang Gil-su’s abdomen. When the guy raised his head, his body was lifted up by the horns as if he were watching a bullfight.

“…Ugh!!!”

He let out a faint groan, rolled over in the air, and fell to the floor.

“That…!”

Park Hyo-joo hurriedly raised her sword to help him.

“for a moment.”

But Namgung stopped her.

“Not yet.”

“…yes?”

“Huu huu…”

Just as he said, Jang Gil-su, who had fallen down, got up. He was breathing heavily, but his fighting spirit seemed not to have broken down yet.

“There’s one more knife left.”

As if in response to Namgung’s words, he took out the knife he last saw from the sheath on his waist.

“…I don’t think that’s possible.”

“huh. i think so too. The defense of monsters that go berserk also increases. “I don’t know, but now I won’t be able to even scratch the leather, let alone cut it with a knife.”

“Let’s hurry and help. “If you get hit by that monster…”

“If you leave it alone, one of your legs will be cut off.”

“…yes?”

“But Jang Gil-soo will not be convinced if we offer help as long as there are still weapons left.”

“No matter what…”

“It’s not just about compensation.”

“then?”

Park Hyo-joo frowned at Namgoong’s words, which answered so calmly that her heart was shaking.

Kwasik–!

And just as he expected, the blade of the knife was unable to overcome Jang Gil-su’s power to cut the minotaur’s skin and broke instantly.

[Couuuuu!!]

When the Minotaur exhaled, pure white steam came out from its large nostrils like steam from a locomotive.

Doo doo doo doo…!!

Buuuung…!!

He rushed in in an instant, closing the distance, and swung a huge axe.

The wind pressure alone was enough to threaten Jang Gil-su, but he dodged the attack with all his might.

“…?!!”

The moment he ducked to avoid the ax passing overhead, the Minotaur’s tail, which turned around, wrapped around Jang Gil-su’s leg like a whip.

thud-!!

He lost his balance with his tail wrapped around his leg and fell down, hitting his face on the floor.

“Holy shit!”

Jang Gil-soo, who was pinned to the floor, quickly turned around.

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

of us, the Minotaur’s ax fell like the blade of a guillotine, almost cutting into his leg.

“Danger above…!!”

“Jang Gil-soo is a man as honest as an ox. People like that are not dealt with with money or power.”

At that moment, Park Hyo-joo could tell that Namgoong had been waiting for the moment when Jang Gil-soo would be attacked.

“Eunhyeji.”

Paaah–!!

As Namgung’s body shot out like a bullet, three soul soldiers appeared behind him.

Kang! Kagang! Kaga River-!!

As the spirit soldiers rushed in and knocked away the minotaur’s axe, Namgung cut off the minotaur’s tail and pulled Jang Gil-su back.

“I’ll take charge from now on.”

“…Cheesh, it’s almost finished.”

Jang Gil-su grumbled and barely stood up, limping with his throbbing legs wrapped around his tail.

‘Is it broken?’

He frowned at his weak ankle. I grumbled with my mouth, but if I had left it alone, I was sure that it would have blown away, let alone broken my leg.

“…I owe you something.”

Touching the leg he almost lost for the rest of his life, he spoke in a low voice to Namgung.

“Don’t worry. I’ll get it right.”

Namgung raised his sword and said.

First, let’s start with the dungeon rewards.
