40 – Monopolizing the performance today (1)
Yeon-hee and Seong-hye’s eyes met and became prevalent. The two did not avoid looking at each other. Just hit back
Sparks flew between their gazes.
Seonghye gave more strength to her eyes.
‘I’m young, so my skin is good, but I’m short, so I guess I have eyes for men?’
On the other hand, Yeonhee also gave strength to her forehead.
‘Oops. Books are also different. A woman who is old enough to have her eyes on a much younger man?’
After having a silent snowball fight for a long time, Jeong Seong-hye quietly opens her mouth.
“Yeonhee. Do you think it’s very strange that Siwoon reads a book so quickly?”
Seonghye’s words went up as if sarcastic.
“Ah, yes~ It’s so amazing, isn’t it? But I wonder why it feels like the assistant is more curious?”
As expected, the end of Yeonhee’s words also goes up in an unpleasant way.
The eyes of the two women collided again and burned.
Splash! Slam! Slam! -Widely.
Wheein.
-Your Wisdom Index has risen by 1.
“It is over.”
I covered the last 30th book, and I could feel many eyes.
So I looked up and saw a lot of people looking at me.
‘When did people gather like this?’
People didn’t even notice it because they were busy with speed reading.
“You just speed-readed, right?”
“How many minutes did you read thirty books of three thousand pages?”
“I timed it, and it was less than 20 minutes.”
“Really?”
People are all staring at Siwoon with their mouths wide open, as if they are in awe.
Among them, there were mercenaries, hunters, aliens, and various types of people.
I was surprised.
No, I wasn’t surprised, but I couldn’t help but be astonished.
How can ordinary people read 30 books here and get 30 IQ?
You have to spend at least a few months to stomp your ass into a chair and break your back.
But a young man I’ve never seen before mastered 30 books in less than 20 minutes. These reactions were natural.
Chin.
A woman took Siwoon by the wrist and led her.
“Hey, I need to raise my wisdom too, right? Tell me a little bit about the secret to speed reading~ Go to my seat with me…… Huh?”
“I’ll tell you later. Now is the time to go.”
“Hey bro. Let’s talk for a minute. I’m going to lose my eyes from reading books here for a month.”
“Isn’t there a secret to speed reading? Ay~ Don’t be the only one who knows.”
People took advantage of the trial.
“Siwoon?”
In the midst of the frenzy, Siwoon turned her head to where he was being called.
I saw the face of Seong-hye, who shared the joys and sorrows together in the dungeon.
“The assistant was also here.”
“Yes, I was just watching Siwoon read a book.”
Songhye smiled broadly as she spoke.
“Was you watching me read a book? What a great thing this is….”
Siwoon was embarrassed and turned his gaze to the side. Next to him is Jeong Yeon-hee, staring at her.
“Hey.. See you in a few days? Are you going to just say hello to me today and disappear?”
Yeonhee asked bluntly.
“Not only the assistant, but also Mr. Yeon-hee was present. Well, we can have a cup of tea together.”
Yeon-hee’s face brightens at the words ‘even a cup of tea’.
On the other hand, Seonghye’s face hardened and only her lips protruded.
“Ability window opens.”
When Siwoon spoke, the ability status window popped up.

‘Your Wisdom has increased by 30. Now the maximum amount of mana has accumulated quite a bit. I guess I can use the Fire Dragon at least twice.’
I feel like my head is clearer after easily securing the Wisdom stat.
Depending on the stats, a person’s physical abilities also changed.
“Look, look, look over there!”
I heard someone screaming. The atmosphere of the library, which had been filled with silence, was shattered and everyone’s eyes turned to him screaming.
He was leaning against the window and looking at something.
“It’s a monster!!”
Tattatattack!
People ran between desks and towards the windows.
“Why did dinosaurs and monsters appear in the city?”
“Staying here is dangerous!”
“We need to call White Gate!”
“I’ve never seen a guy that big….”
Hearing people’s astonishment,
Siwoon jumped up from his seat.
‘A monster?’
I immediately cast my gaze toward the window.
Out of the window, a gigantic monster was lying on the floor in the middle of Lefron City.
In the form of four developed dinosaurs, with a long tail and something very hard attached to the skin, it was shining.
The size was enormous. A whopping 13 meters seemed good enough.
The kingdom guards rushed in unison and pointed their weapons at the monster.
All the people in the city start to run away in astonishment.
Wow!
Deed deed deed.
“Aagh!”
There was a shaking as if an earthquake had occurred.
Thump! Thud!
The building shook greatly, and the lights on the ceiling of the Great Library fell off! Broken on the floor.
Beyond the window, the monster was being attacked by the kingdom’s guards.
But the attacks didn’t work, and he was shaking the buildings of Lephron City with his huge arms.
One building at a time from the monster’s touch caused cracks and collapsed.
“I have to run away.”
“Everybody dies here.”
“Emergency exit, let’s go towards the emergency exit, everyone!”
All the people in the Great Library were confused and started running out of the building.
“Ah, what happened to this?”
Yeon-hee looked at Seong-hye in bewilderment. And asked urgently.
“Assistant. It’s the first time I’ve seen a monster that looks like that, is it a powerful one?”
Seong-hye, looking uneasy, shook her head.
“I’ve never seen a monster like that before. It looks like a guy from the Hunter Dungeon. I think we should all get out of here.”
It was then.
An alarm rang in Siwoon’s ears.
[The hidden quest has arrived.]
[The monster that appeared in the city][Hidden]
A monster appeared in Lephron City. The city of Lefron is in a state of disarray, and numerous casualties are occurring. Let’s kill that monster right now.
Conditions for Success: Defeat the Monster (0/1)
Failure Conditions: The death of the monster at the hands of others or the escape of the monster.
Failure Penalty: Reputation of Lephron City decreased to .
Reward: Obtain a scroll to the hidden dungeon.
The penalty for failure was enormous.
If the city’s reputation is significantly lowered, equipment stores, general stores, etc. Cannot be used. You will not be treated as a human being, and if you do something wrong, you may be kicked out by the guards.
In any case, the activation of the hidden quest leads to good rewards.
Besides, if you didn’t try this quest, it was almost certain that you would be treated as a failure, your reputation in Lefron would be ruined, and you would be treated like a dog instead of a human being.
I had no choice but to fight the monster now.
In the end, all I could say was to shut up and carry out the hidden quest.
First of all, that monster seemed to be on a different level than the monsters I’ve dealt with so far.
Let’s go. Inventory window!’
Chalkang!
-Equipped with Hongran’s Fire Dragon Sword.
Shuuk!
-Equipped with a boar’s leather cloak.
“Hmm?”
“What?”
Seong-hye and Yeon-hee exclaimed at Si-woon’s splendid weapon.
Wow!
“Lee Si-woon!!”
“Hey, hey, hey!” This is the 3rd floor!!”
Yeonhee and Seonghye screamed in astonishment at Siwoon.
At that time, Siwoon had already broken the third floor window and jumped down.
***
Kuuu-
The monster let out a roar.
The body of the guards staggered from the wind that flowed from the monster’s mouth.
“Knives or skills cannot be embedded in his body.”
One of the guards said urgently with his spear pointed.
“It must be blocked unconditionally. Until the White Gates arrive.”
The head of the guard grabbed the sword and shield and looked up at the monster.
There was only one building that was almost as small as the size of the monster’s head.
I really didn’t have the courage to fight back.
Shuwoong!
From noble mtl dot com
“Chief of Security!”
Thump!
“Aagh!”
The guard next to me screamed. Right in front of him, the monster’s foot had stamped something. When the monster’s foot rises, the chief guard’s dismembered corpse is attached to the monster’s feet.
“Manager!!”
“Too powerful. We cannot stop it on our own.”
Buildings in the city are collapsing one by one. Lake Square, Lefron’s pride, was crushed into a bloody hell. In addition, there is a fire and smoke is rising.
The damage to the city was growing out of control.
That was it!
Thump!
The sound of something falling drew the attention of the guards.
“That one?”
A man jumped from a building and landed.
The man was watching the monster, wearing a fire-flaming weapon and a wild boar skin.
“Are you a hunter?”
“What is that wild boar?”
Shashak! The arrows shot by the guards flew towards the monster.
However, it does not get stuck in the monster’s shell, and as soon as it touches the shell, it bounces off.
“I can’t pierce his hide….”
“Get out of that building!”
“Sa, save me! Ughhhhh.”
The monster’s arm began to move wildly.
Quang!
Buildings collapsed one after another, shaking the ground, and the dark smell of blood covered the area.
***
Siwoon observed the monster rampaging wildly.
When a monster is attacked, diamonds protrude from all parts of its leather, including its back, stomach, arms, and legs, to protect it.
‘Let’s see how hard it is?’
“Leap of the Fire Dragon!”
Siwoon took flight.
Worse!
I landed on the leg of the monster.
Kureung!
The monster growled.
Siwoon stabbed the red languid sword straight into the monster’s leg meat.
Bang!
‘As expected.’
The Red Lantern Sword bounced off the leather without being able to tear it.
The monster was destroying the buildings of Lephron City, not caring that Shiwun was clinging to the bridge.
‘What if?’
Shiwoon immediately pushed the Hongran sword into the scabbard and began to climb up the monster’s torso with both hands as if climbing a rock wall.
The monster was enormous.
The Siwoon clinging to the monster’s body looked like dust.
Shuuung- Paang!
An orb of flame flew right above Siwoon and hit the monster’s body and exploded. A small spark flew into Siwoon’s hand. It was a situation where the guards had to avoid even attacking the monster.
In succession, arrows and orbs of swordsmanship skills flew towards the monster’s body.
The monster struggled and swung his long tail.
“Quaaagh!”
“Aagh!”
The place where the monster’s tail swept away was lined with smashed floors and corpses of guards.
It was difficult for Siwoon to hang on because the monster was moving wildly.
He slowly concentrated and climbed the monster’s body.
He climbed over the bridge and onto the monster’s back.
‘One more time.’
Siwoon took out the Hongran sword and immediately slashed his back. I stabbed him in the part of his flesh with the least amount of muscle.
Kwajang!
However, before the sword could even touch, a diamond shell protruded from his back and deflected the red orchid sword.
aaang!
The monster finally found Shiwun and stretched out his hand towards him.
“Run.”
Tattatata!
Siwoon avoided the monster’s attack using his sprint skill and landed on the monster’s cervical vertebrae by jumping on his back.
If you use the Fire Dragon’s First Skill….’
The surroundings will probably turn into a sea of fire.
Especially, the back of the monster was so close to the bottom of Lephron City that it was perfect for the fire to spread.
‘There must be a loophole.’
The hand of the monster flew again. It was so large that Siwoon’s entire body was covered in shadow.
Tak!
But the monster was too big, and its movements were sluggish.
After a quick dodge,
“Counter Blow.”
Did the monster’s attack and cast a skill that can be activated as a counter.
About 1/5 of the sword of the Hong Lan Sword was stuck in the monster’s body.
‘Oh, my God. Got stuck?’
A disgusting fishy smell poured out as the monster’s flesh opened.
Then, the monster screamed and shook his head.
“Run.”
Siwoon immediately jumped up to the monster’s shoulder.
When I came up to the monster’s shoulders, I could see that his ground was very small.
Frightened, the guards in the confrontation were looking at Siwoon riding on the monster.
The monster turned his head towards Siwoon.
And then the jaw jumps! Opened up
‘Something is flying.’
aaa!!
A tremendous wind came out of the monster’s mouth.
The wind burst from the beast’s jaws, swept across the land and toppled two buildings.
Are you sure?
The monster seemed to be looking for luck by moving his eyes.
However, Siwoon had already risen to the top of the monster’s head with the fire dragon’s leap and was in the process of descending.
‘Yes, I understand. His diamond shield doesn’t react to counter-type attacks. That’s why the red-lane sword was able to pierce his back. I just dodged his breath attack, so I can trigger a counter blow!’
Wheein!
Siwoon descended toward the monster’s head with his hair fluttering, pointed the blade of the red languid sword towards the monster and gripped it tightly.
“Counter Blow!”
Su-wook.
Siwoon’s sword was inserted into the head of the monster.
‘As expected, his shield doesn’t react to counters.’
That’s right.
Anyway, after the monster attacked, it didn’t seem to respond for a certain period of time.
The monster shook his head even more, letting out a cry from his throat as if a thorn had been caught in his throat.
Siwoon’s red lantern sword was in a state where half of the blade had dug into the monster’s head.
– A counter blow caused the monster to bleed.
Bones were visible from the monster’s skull and back, and his blood was dripping down.
The monster shook his head wildly without stopping.
Siwoon held on to the handle of the Honglan Sword so that it would not fall off.
‘Okay. The blade of my crimson sword is embedded in his head? If I use it in this state, it will work properly.’
