143 – Recognition
‘······ This is nothing to worry about.’
Aside from the ability level enhancement, the unheard-of luck figure certainly stimulated curiosity. However, the slight rise was too slight. Even if it was greatly strengthened, it would be a problem. Hmm…
In the end, I chose number 3. It was a latent skill release.
First of all, I was curious about what the latent skill was, and it was because of the decision that it was difficult to create a variable by choosing number 1.
1. Skull Time Bomb
2. Stone Wall
3. Fire Explosion
4. The Assassin’s Prayer
‘Another choice… A rock wall, a fire blast, I know what else, but what is an assassin’s prayer?’
Assassin’s Prayer
– If you stay in place for more than 10 seconds while stealthed, the chance of inflicting a critical hit increases in proportion to the time.
‘Oh… Did I have a skill like this latent!’
However, I chose number 3 without hesitation.
As soon as I made my choice, the werewolf disappeared from sight.
A golden werewolf that exudes life so much that I wonder if it’s the guy I just sat and chatted with.
It was similar to turning on a fluorescent light when you press a switch.
‘Is this your main job?’
If the other person is sincere, I have to do my best.
I closed my eyes and narrowed my senses to my surroundings as much as possible to increase the density. In this way, an attack beyond my awareness can be reacted instinctively first.
As if your body reacts first when you hold a hot knob, your body will respond on its own as soon as you sense it.
Of course, it would be useless against opponents who are beyond the level that I can avoid.
Something foreign has invaded the wavelengths concentrated around the body.
My body reacted earlier than I thought. I dodged the werewolf’s attack by bending my back to the point where I wondered if I was this flexible.
Creak-
Paschik-!
‘Oh!’
I thought I was avoiding it, but I seem to have overlooked its sharp claws. Long claws about 15 cm long, invisible when we were sitting together, passed through my torso.
However, it was the bone armor that received damage, and it did not damage the main body at all.
The 120 defense armor started working in earnest.
“Kleurrureu”
‘Baby, your eyes are working properly.’
The attack was successful, but he seemed a bit angry when I stood still. The bloody eyes, all bloodlines bursting from bloodshot eyes, glared at me as if they would tear me to death.
Receiving the ugly wear wolf’s gaze, he crouched down with a fireball in his left hand and a dagger in his right hand.
‘Come on, it’s a wooden box. I’ll burn you up-‘
A werewolf jumped up from its spot as soon as my words ran out. It seems that I jumped 15m well.
‘Uh… This is a bit.’
Contrary to the bold provocation, I threw myself to the side without the slightest hesitation.
Quaaang-!!
[Skull Bomb]
Pew-!
‘Wheeyu― I’ll be harpooned if I get hit just once.’
I just landed on the spot where I was standing and hit it with my fist, creating a huge crater that could be several meters in diameter.

If you get hit by that attack, the bone armor or whatever will crumble like cookie crumbs.
While avoiding the attack, the fireball was canceled, but one bomb was able to detonate instinctively.
He shook his head for a moment, as if he had been lightly shocked by the bomb.
‘Are you just hitting the counter?’
Explode while avoiding the prepared bomb.
I couldn’t even think of wielding the dagger in my other hand. It is so fast and powerful.
Definitely superior to the ‘teeth’ monster in every way. The movement itself was completely different from that of the ignorant monster.
Since the space is dozens of times wider than the canyon where the orcs fought bloody battles, [Contaminated Breath] Seems unlikely to be effective.
[Stealth]
In the end, he used his greatest skill, stealth. However, his nose flared wide, and soon his head slowly turned in the direction I was moving.
He is the one with the best ability among currently known monsters with only his sense of smell. You can’t get out of his radar network with a level of stealth that simply interferes with being invisible.
But it wasn’t a meaningless skill use. Just like the Orc warrior, there were subtle changes in his movements. The guy, who crouched with his hands on the floor as if he was about to rush in, showed a moment’s hesitation.
It must have taken a certain amount of time for him to identify me as well. Then he uses that brief gap to hit and run.
Tadadak-
[Fireball]
For some reason, the fireball flew in the direction I was aiming for, but he lightly avoided the fireball and gradually reduced the distance to me.
He must have been aware of the fact that an explosion would occur if he came close to me. However, he didn’t feel the slightest bit of fear from the way he approached, as if he thought it was strong enough to withstand.
After taking a few fireballs and bomb attacks with his body, the guy jumped high into the sky again with the jump he used earlier, then fell down.
Quaang-!
Once
Kwakbang!!
Once again.
Every time he jumped and attacked the ground, the force of his blows grew stronger.
‘Uh… What kind of infinite stamina?’
Now, whenever I dodged, I could feel the wind pressure it created.
We currently have about 2/3 of the remaining bombs.
But it was not a situation to spare. He had to create fleeting moments with stealth and bombs, and be able to use [Flame Slash] With his dagger.
– Aww wow!!
The guy who jumped again was now landing in anticipation of where I would move.
‘Yeah, I don’t like just dodging!’
Pupperpuppung!!
I could feel the guy’s shock as more bombs exploded than ever before. At the same time, I made a [Reckless charge] Through the smoke and quickly drew the dagger.
[Flame Slash]
Fit―
The tip of the dagger caught on his chin and inflicted a very small wound that I couldn’t even see. But that was enough.
– Marks enemies with fire!
Along with the message, a small, transparent flame the size of a little finger rose above the werewolf’s shoulder.
I don’t know if he can see it. The mark I left behind.
“Pureuk-“
The werewolf shakes his head loudly. Sticky drool dripping from his mouth.
I was suddenly curious. Is Tania looking at herself objectively? Or will she be completely assimilated with the wear wolf and soaked in her excitement?
– Kreurreur…
Every time he was damaged by a bomb, his movement got faster and faster, but his gap increased as much.
– Marks enemies with fire!
– Marks enemies with fire!
– Marks enemies with fire!
‘I’m somehow avoiding it, but I’ll be caught soon. I ruined this.’
The bone armor was already tattered from the attack while dodging. The disappearance of the armor integrated with my body meant a decrease in physical strength.
HP: 43/133
“Kheung!”
‘-!’
Right in front of my eyes, the guy’s huge head was pushed in. Surely you have widened the distance? Was there a hidden number?
‘Damn it!’
At this moment, I almost forgot that this guy was the mysterious Mimic transformed.
Kwajak-!
One arm grabbed by the guy was bent behind his back, and he tore it off without much resistance.
He banged my arm roughly on the ground, then stomped it hard with his foot and crushed it.
‘There’s no point in turning it into powder like that. I’m sorry.’
“Auuu!!”
A werewolf roaring in a dog sitting position.
They must have fought fierce battles together, but somehow he didn’t look tired at all. The only thing that worked positively for me was that I had completely lost my reason and my movements had grown.
If it weren’t for the increase in agility from the bone armor and the speed rune, it would have already turned into bone crumbs on the floor.
‘After… One last shot.’
But that was the limit. He was quickly adapting to my fighting style. It’s time for him to fight.
A total of four marks were earned on him. Now if I could just add one more-
Woo Woowook-
He jumped into the sky again.
‘Isn’t that goddamn jump boundless?’
The jump skill of a guy who had only been avoiding until now.
But this time I was jumping at him.
Huiing-
Pupper puffer boom!
The last remaining skull bombs and fireballs exploded simultaneously around the werewolf, which reached the highest height by leaping, and me and the mimic passed through the gray smoke and faced each other.
‘Hey, look at me!’
Puff-!
‘f*ck…’
I was obviously attacked first, but I was the one who got hit. Basically, he is a guy whose arms are 1.5 Times longer than me. If there had been a greatsword, the result might have been different.
f*ck-!
The guy’s thick arms that pierced his body through the bone armor.
For a moment, his face seemed to have the calm expression he showed when we were talking together, but he looked down at me with a smirk. Exposing fangs that clearly belonged to a predator.
‘Even this!’
Whoaaah!
“Kreukreuk!!”
[Grey Mycotoxin] Was naturally discharged as his physical strength was greatly reduced, and a lot of smoke was sprayed on his snout.
But the werewolf didn’t care about that and raised his arm that had pierced my body high into the air. He must be planning to smash it to the ground with excitement soon and beat it to pieces with its terrifying fists.
‘hehehehe… hahahaha!!’
But I was the one who really wanted to laugh. I’ve never regretted not being able to laugh as much as I do now.
‘If I can’t hit it at this distance, I’ll have to beat the hunter!’
[Dagger Throw]
Pu-wook!
– Marks enemies with fire!
– The mark for [Fire Explosion] Is complete!
‘You son of a b*tch! Die!’
Kureuuk-?!
As I used the skill, I felt the five flame marks interact and connect to the core in my head.
[Flame Explosion] …
– ‘The eternally falling bird, Iriskas’ recognized you.’
An unfamiliar message popped into my head the moment I used the flame blast, but it quickly disappeared.
Geee―――
With the use of the skill, a distant feeling of fear that he had never felt in his entire life came over him, giving goosebumps all over his body.
And soon after, the whole body began to crumble.
‘He’s the one who got hit with the skill, why is my body?!’
No one answered my momentary question, and with a strange and sharp groan, the Werewolf’s flame marks were absorbed as if they were melting into its heart.
This process was done in an instant, and it felt as if time had stopped.
Soon, a brilliant light never seen before emanated from the inside of the werewolf’s body where the mark was absorbed-
It was as if all the hot energy in the world soared into the sky, and five-colored flames burst out in all directions centering on the werewolf.
Quaaa!!
From noble mtl dot com
The flames soared high into the sky, soaring as if they were reaching for the seemingly unreachable ceiling.
‘Crazy…?!’
Patter-
The shape of the werewolf, which exuded ferocious force, disappeared without a trace with the explosion.
Beautiful name
