71 – Assault (2)
Kang Tae-jin is a 2nd year mine cadet. He had a strong ego, and as much as he had a strong ego, his confidence was strong. That’s why I didn’t believe Seol Gyu-gun’s words that Ymir was stronger than expected.
If something like 1st grade was strong, how strong would it be?
He ignored Seol Gyu-geon’s advice and made fun of it. The fact that Seol Gyu-geon was the representative of the meeting also played a role in that judgment. He had an inferiority complex to Seol Gyu-gun.
It’s pathetic to think that such a bastard is our representative.
However, he was frightened by Seol Gyu-geon’s repeated advice, and he climbed the mountain with the demons he had been in contact with. It is Five Star Mountain, which is said to be where Ymir resides.
To his right, Seol Woo-joong, a fellow 2nd year Mine cadet, asked.
“Are you sure you came to the right place?”
“Right.”
Kang Tae-jin hurriedly added an afterword.
“If what Seol Gyu-geon Mojiri told me correctly, then this is the right place.”
“Hmm. Are you sure?”
This time another sophomore Mine cadet, Park Byeong-gu, asked. Kang Tae-jin nodded his head.
“I asked Seol Gyu-gun dozens of times. That bastard even picked up the coordinates and told me. Right around here.”
“Hmm. I can’t see anything.”
“If you can’t see it, Seol Gyu-geon must have not told you properly. He’s really clumsy.”
Seol Woo-jung laughed.
“That’s right. It’s like being frightened by something like a first grader and messing around.”
Park Byeong-goo agreed.
“Right. That guy is our representative. Embarrassed.”
Kang Tae-jin was satisfied with their evaluation. He smirked and rubbed his palms.
“Seol Gyu-gun is more timid than he looks. After we deal with this, we will have to reorganize the meeting based on that.”
I was so delusional, but I felt an unknown energy from afar. Kang Tae-jin was startled and hurriedly raised his head. On the mountain, we see a man judged to be Ymir.
“It’s a guy.”
At that moment, a popping sound was heard and Woojung Seol, who was standing to the right, knelt down. Kang Tae-jin looks to the side of him in surprise, and Seol Woo-jung is coughing up blood. His lips were severely torn from where he had been hit.
“What, what! You!”
“It’s a surprise.”
“What….”
I rolled my eyes in bewilderment, but I felt an unknown energy again. Kang Tae-jin instinctively took a step back. Then the space tore apart in front of his eyes and a fist appeared.
A fist?
The fists appeared and disappeared quickly enough to be considered a hallucination. I was opening my mouth like a crucian carp, but this time I heard a shout from the left.
“Ouch!”
This is the voice of Park Byung-goo.
“What, what!”
Kang Tae-jin looked at him in surprise and saw that Park Byung-goo was holding his left arm in pain. His arm is dangling, so it must have been broken.
“You, your arm….”
“It’s broken. A fist suddenly appears….”
“What the hell happened?”
They realized too late that Ymir was attacking them. It was because he belatedly recognized that Ymir’s posture changed from a distance whenever an attack occurred.
Kang Tae-jin shouted.
“Hey, don’t gather like this, attack by scattering!”
They split up and climbed the mountain.

I realized that the Void Arm is much more useful than I expected.
If you get some skill, you can mix it with martial arts.
It can be used in combination with not only martial arts but also long-range attacks such as martial arts fists.
I dealt with them further with the arms of the void and they were helpless. There is no way that those who have no combat experience with demons can easily recognize the equipment related to demons.
Those with keen eyes will easily spot it.
It’s a pity that I can’t openly use such good equipment.
You only need to secretly use it when dealing with demons.
I used the void arm and used meteor combo, meteor infinity, and meteor fist, and as they got closer, the arm’s accuracy increased, so I was able to deal with them all.
The accuracy rate is low up to 250m, and the accuracy rate is high from around 100m.
Perhaps the demons who came this time were sloppy and got through. So, the arm of the void might not work at all for a master.
I practiced Void Arms in the air a few more times, then went down the mountain to search where they had disappeared to ashes.
I got 4 essences, and when I consumed them, I got recovery ability, acceleration ability, super strength ability, and defense-related envelope ability respectively.
Not bad.
I was genuinely happy that my survival-related resilience increased.

Kwak Du-pal knew that Kang Tae-jin moved to deal with Ymir, and he also figured out that he was dead. If they managed to deal with it, they should be bragging about it by now, but seeing as there is no news, it seems that all three of them are dead.
You fools, you should have moved with us.
While cursing at the deceased, Kwak Du-pal thought while recalling their fighting prowess.
They are in the middle of the meeting when it comes to fighting power. If the three of them failed in their assassination mission, it is concluded that Seol Gyu-geon was right.
Is Seol Kyu-geon’s words really true?
Mine basically have a strong confirmation bias and tend not to bend their arguments. In simple terms, she says that her words are stronger than her existing laws, common sense, and customs.
That can’t be.
So, Kwak Du-pal thought that he was in his favor, and he judged according to his advantage.
“If three second-year Mine cadets went together and failed the assassination mission, is that guy lucky?”
She was thinking the same way as Han Bong-nam, who was next to him.
“The three of them could have made a mistake, or there could have been an infighting, or Ymir could have been lucky.”
“I think so too.”
Doopal Kwak came up with his own rational thoughts and drew his conclusions. He highly praised the possibility of infighting. The demons are selfish, so they don’t listen to what others say, but there must have been a problem in the process.
The important point is that even taking that into consideration, it is not easy for Ymir to save her life.
“If the fight had happened properly, at least he would have been wounded.”
“I think so too.”
The two went to Oseong Mountain on that road and became deceased. They were stronger than the previous three, but while they hesitated, Ymir grew stronger. So it was not difficult to deal with. Ymir was delighted to find two essences from their ashes.
This time, it’s resilience.
* * *
Seol Kyu-geon became the representative of the demons’ meeting not only because of his high fighting power, but also because he was rational and intelligent unlike other demons.
Seol Gyu-geon laughed at the deceased demons.
Idiots.
He knew from the start that this was going to happen. So he deliberately released information to the demons and stimulated them.
As Seol Gyu-geon expected, he organized a suicide commando and launched an ignorant charge, knowing the demons who disliked him, had an inferiority complex to him, or had a strong antipathy without being compliant.
If we cooperated with each other and dealt with the matter at once, we might have succeeded in dealing with Ymir, but they dispersed in small units and attacked separately after a period of time. It was as expected of Seol Gyu-gun.
All idiots are like that.
They wouldn’t know that they were tricked into their plan until they died. As a New Year’s rule, he eliminated internal enemies without any justification or effort, so he did not use his hands and blow his nose.
“I can’t have people who hate me in my group.”
Seol Gyu-geon smirked in satisfaction. Furthermore, through their attacks, Ymir must have been wounded. She may be aware of the fact that Mine is attacking and prepare greatly, but she thought that this much should be taken into account.
“I guess I can hit the last blow now.”
If he carried out his plan while leaving the demons who refuted his words alive, an infighting would have occurred at a crucial moment.
Now that we’ve dealt with the troublemaker, it’s time to move.
Seol Kyu-geon headed for Mt. Oseong with the demons who followed his opinion.
* * *
I practiced and practiced again. It was a great help as a teaching aid for practice as the demons attacked in between. After the practice, even the integer came as a bonus, so the benefit was great.
From noble mtl dot com
“Your recovery has increased a lot.”
I had a question while calculating the sum of the essences I had eaten. Among the essences from the places where demons died, there were many essences related to resilience.
Why are there so many integers related to resilience?
I thought and made a decision. Mine always lives with anxiety about her survival. That’s why such an anxious tendency appears as a whole.
It’s a good thing for me.
I checked the skill rank of Resilience and smiled in satisfaction.
[Resilience] D rank → B rank
Suddenly, his resilience has reached a B rank. Now, simple abrasions can quickly heal. Even deep wounds can be healed in the blink of an eye if mana is used intensively. Even in an urgent battle situation, it is possible to use resilience to some extent.
Good.
At that time, I felt a presence at the bottom of the mountain. When she turned her head, more than 20 mines were coming up this way. In the meantime, it was very convenient that the demons had attacked in small groups, but this time it seems that they are planning to put an end to it.
