A king toad jumped out of the water and landed on a broad leaf.

Seo Ji-soo opened her eyes wide.

“crazy. Big dog.”

The King Toad was quite large.

He was bigger than any cow.

Cha Jin-hyeok smiled without anyone noticing.

‘poison is… … It’s not as effective as I thought?’

It seemed that the emperor toad had considerable resistance to the poison potion made by Choi Gap-soo.

“For now, everyone wait until I get the aggro perfectly.”

Woodhyun tilted his head.

‘It’s not me, it’s my brother?’

It is Cha Jin-hyeok who always put Mok Hyun in front.

Mok Hyeon came to a great realization.

‘When it’s really dangerous, you’ll take the lead.’

I was a little impressed by the different appearance.

Jinhyeok Cha said.

“If my relay barrier is breached, you will have to be attacked next, so wait.”

Cha Jin-hyeok’s face was slightly flushed.

In a way, it looked like fun, but Mok Hyon thought differently.

‘To not burden me. You’re making such a bright face on purpose.’

’cause I’m a coward

If my older brother shows a shriveled appearance here, my limbs will become stiff as well.

‘That brother is really… … !’

I definitely realized it today.

It seemed that there was a reason why he had put himself in danger until now.

‘They threw me only crises I could handle.’

The crisis was so frightening and scary, but in the end, everyone got through it well.

Cha Jin-hyeok’s leading action this time brought a lot of impression to Mok-hyeon.

‘This time it’s a crisis I can’t handle. In the end, it’s probably that he’s pulling off the first aggro instead of me.’

His characteristic, ‘The Great Five Awakenings’, shined.

A more calm mind.

I interpreted and understood the current situation with a more objective perspective.

‘This is possible because it’s a low level. Hyung is showing me the way I should go in the future.’

It has been like that since before.

Cha Jin-hyeok always taught himself a lot as an adult.

In the meantime, Cha Jin-hyeok perfectly drew aggro.

The King Toad’s life was directed only towards Cha Jin-hyeok.

‘I must be really talented at aggro.’

He didn’t really have great skills, he just threw a dagger in front of his eyes, but he pulled aggro perfectly.

It felt like it pulled aggro much better than a wooden string.

‘A relayer’s gaze.’

Cha Jin-hyeok, who went directly into battle, had his heart pounding.

A poison-resistant monarch toad.

The dagger had already fallen into the pond, and he swung the iron sword he had bought at the relay store earlier.

kang!

A small spark flew with a loud sound.

‘Shield?’

It was indeed a boss monster.

Monarch toads had strong protective shields, which was nothing new.

Most of the monsters that will appear in the future all have their own protective shield.

At that moment, the king toad spewed venom.

While avoiding the body,

‘Relay barrier.’

Intermediate barriers were used together.

Pasut!

The relay barrier that came into contact with the venom melted.

‘If I was a little late, I could have suffered a serious burn.’

It was fortunate that I used the relay barrier along with the avoidance action.

If I had done either of them, I would have done a lot of damage.

Both eyeballs of the King Toad began to move, rolling around.

‘It’s skill use.’

The guy had one skill that was pretty annoying.

Tongues protrude from numerous points in the air.

It was a skill that created dozens of things similar to the first floor of the Golden Toad Dungeon and attacked the players.

The relayer’s eyes read everything.

[Use the skill, Multiple Snow Spear.]

The first attack was all directed at Cha Jin-hyeok.

Seven tongues poured into Cha Jin-hyeok like a javelin.

‘wow.’

Cha Jin-hyeok instinctively found the path between the seven snow windows.

In an instant of time, I read a subtle gap.

In a state of extreme tension, a new path appeared.

It had a great influence on Cha Jin-hyeok’s character.

[The attribute, ‘Interviewer’s Gaze’ is strengthened.]

[The attribute has been upgraded to ‘Relayer’s Sight’.]

Cha Jin-hyeok fell into a trance.

I focused all my senses and nerves on this battle.

‘This is it.’

Dodged 7 spears.

To be precise, I figured out the raw route and went to a safe place first.

As it wasn’t a high-level monster, the attack itself wasn’t that sophisticated.

However, when viewed from the outside, the appearance was like an art form.

Seo Ji-ah, who is not good at expressing emotions, says, “Ah… … !” and let out a short exclamation.

From Ji-ah Seo’s point of view, Jin-hyeok Cha’s movement was an art.

Cha Jin-hyeok fell into his world.

‘It’s the relayer’s view.’

saw the moment

Where will the seven spears fly?

It felt like seeing a very small future.

This feeling was very similar to the skill he had during his days as the Sword King, ‘super sense’.

It was very similar, so I was able to actively use it.

‘I can see where the attack will reach.’

Snow Spear is a skill that pours snow spears from all over the air.

It seemed that he knew where Dasulchang was aiming for.

[Use the skill, Multiple Snow Spear.]

[Use the skill, Multiple Snow Spear.]

Reading that made it much easier to dodge the spears.

The king toad looked like the medicine was right up.

While all attacks were focused on Cha Jin-hyeok. Seo Ji-ah/Seo Ji-soo attacked the king toad.

Then, a snow spear pierced Seo Jia’s back.

“sister!”

As Seo Ji-soo shouted in surprise, the king toad glanced at Seo-jisoo.

Cha Jin-hyeok flinched.

‘Damn it!’

Currently, Jianna Seo and Jisoo Seo do not have the defense to withstand the attack of the King Toad.

One hit can result in serious injury or death.

Just like Seo Ji-ah has become like that now.

‘yes?’

But the aggro was not taken away.

The King Toad focused only on Cha Jin-hyeok, while drawing attention to Seo Ji-soo.

‘That’s good.’

His shield was much stronger than I thought.

It didn’t break no matter how many times I attacked it.

Even when Cha Jin-hyeok evaded King Toad’s attack and barely approached and swung his sword, King Toad sprayed venom and pushed Cha Jin-hyeok away.

Similar situations were repeated over and over again.

* * *

Mok Mok-hyun maintained a sharp sense of humor and was ready to unfold Sumoksanseong at any time.

Impressed by Cha Jin-hyeok, Mok-hyeon secretly resembled Cha Jin-hyeok.

“Jisoo sister. Don’t make a fuss. It’s only natural to get hurt during a raid.”

Cha Jin-sol began to heal Seo Ji-ah’s injury.

The injury was so severe that he could not recover immediately.

Seo Ji-soo bit her lip.

‘I’m going to kill you.’

She also actively participated in the King Toad Raid.

She has a pretty good fighting sense, so she was of great help to Cha Jin-hyeok.

Kim Jeong-hyun’s martial arts was also giving a blow to the king toad’s defenses in its own way.

However, Seo Ji-soo and Kim Jung-hyun gradually got tired.

‘I can’t break through the shield.’

‘Too… … strong… … opponent.’

Seo Ji-soo and Kim Jung-hyun both felt a distant wall.

I thought maybe everyone would die here.

And Cha Jin-hyeok was also quite tired.

‘Wow, if I had come in alone, I would have died?’

When I thought about it, I suddenly felt a sense of tension and a feeling of well-being.

I did not try to deny this feeling.

Now that I’m out of that stage, I’ve come to the conclusion that I have to control this mind with reason.

“Listen.”

Cha Jin-hyeok said while avoiding the toad’s venom.

“It has the ability to enter water and restore its defenses. Did everyone notice?”

When the shield was broken to some extent, it ran into the water.

When it popped out again, the toad’s defenses had regenerated.

“So, there are two ways. Either drag them ashore, or kill them quickly before entering the water.”

However, there are no debuffers or sorcerers with the ability to bring them to shore and bind them.

Cha Jin-hyuk came to a conclusion.

“Kill it quickly before it goes into the water.”

“How is that possible?”

Seo Ji-soo has already reached the limit physically.

It was on the verge of exhaustion.

“Seo Ji-soo fell behind. Kim Jung-hyun and I catch it.”

“What are you talking about?”

“If you fall, get out. There is no room for a long explanation.”

There was no time for a long explanation.

Toad is also a little tired.

Slightly reduced frequency and power of Snow Spear.

Cha Jin-hyeok had an intuition that this was a one-time opportunity.

“And Kim Jung-hyun. Hey, can you see where I installed the item over there?”

It was a ‘Ward’ purchased at a brokerage store.

A round orb-shaped, translucent item was floating on the water.

“Yes.”

“After that, when he uses his third skill, move over there. Two windows will cross over there and pour. Take it with your body.”

Right now, it’s hard to fully focus on the attack because I’m dodging and attacking.

So someone had to take the attack instead.

at least once.

“Seo Ji-soo will die, but you won’t. Wood Hyun can’t move as quickly as you.”

So, the right person is Kim Jung-hyun.

I felt my senses come alive.

And I really felt alive.

[Use the skill, Multiple Snow Spear.]

[Use the skill, Multiple Snow Spear.]

Cha Jin-hyeok moved quickly and avoided all the snow spears.

“This next attack.”

Kim Jung-hyun nodded.

It was slower than Cha Jin-hyeok, but with a fairly quick movement, he jumped to the position Cha Jin-hyuk had set.

Cha Jin-hyeok ran after him.

[Use the skill, Multiple Snow Spear.]

Fu-wook!

Fu-wook!

Daseochang, crossed in the shape of an X, pierced Kim Jeong-hyeon’s body.

“Kuk!”

Even pretending to be, he was seriously injured.

Cha Jin-hyeok immediately approached the toad.

Thanks to Kim Jung-hyun’s sacrifice, the road was completely opened, and I was able to fully focus on the attack.

‘see.’

The relayer’s vision revealed more.

The result of the swordsmanship that he knew through experience and intuition.

It was shown as a dotted line, albeit blurry.

Just like the skill he had during his days as the Sword King, ‘Swordsmanship’.

‘But it’s not enough.’

I know this is my last chance.

Seo Ji-ah and Kim Jung-hyun are unable to fight.

After treating the two, Cha Jin-sol is also tired and it is difficult to heal anymore.

‘I have to finish this time.’

I had to find a way.

I had to kill him on this occasion.

‘I must cut it down.’

He focused only on this situation.

All of the senses in his body turned toward him and the toad.

This bloody battle he had longed for stimulated his whole body.

[The latent skill, ‘Anticipation’ has been activated.]

Yegi was a skill awakened by swordsmanship players at level 40.

I didn’t have time to think about many things.

[Uses a latent skill, Anticipation.]

Cha Jin-hyeok’s iron sword was imbued with intangible magic.

sharp aura.

Cha Jin-hyeok swung his sword following the grain he saw.

‘The shield has been destroyed.’

The King Toad seemed to be taken aback for a moment.

The moment he was about to jump into the water, Cha Jin-hyeok’s sword cut the head of the king toad.

He swung his sword so quickly that a blue afterimage was left in the air.

[You have killed the King Toad.]

[‘x7 jackpot effect’ is applied.]

The protective shield was very hard, but the main body’s defense was insignificant.

“Ugh… … Ugh… … !”

Cha Jin-hyeok, who killed the king toad, lay down on the leaves.

It was a feeling of exhaustion that I felt after a long time, and a feeling of joy that I felt after a long time.

‘This is it.’

This is the real taste of raiding.

Pleasure more than drugs covered his body.

[The level has risen.]

[The level has risen.]

In the end, Cha Jin-hyeok’s team defeated the King Toad and everyone rose by 2 levels.

[Achieved the great achievement, ‘Repeated Shortcuts and Hidden Kings’.]

Cha Jin-hyeok smiled.

I wasn’t going to be enrolled in the Hall of Fame, but the sense of accomplishment when I accomplished a great feat was great.

──────────

[Repeated Shortcuts and Hidden Kings]

Between the gaps of countless repeated shortcuts.

For a long time, I hunted the king who had been secretly hiding and dreamed of escaping.

Although he could not fly, he deserves to be called the king of toads.

Achievement Effect: When using defense skills/specialties, level 100 or lower, completely nullify all attacks of toad-type monsters

──────────

‘Is this a true story?’

Completely nullifying all attacks of toad-type monsters below level 100.

‘If I had this, I’d be able to catch him too?’

There is one guy who wasn’t in the plan in the first place.

Among the kings who dreamed of flying, the monster of the setting that eventually succeeded in flying.

‘Really, can I catch him?’

I do not know.

My power itself is much weaker, but I think I can hunt with the effect of this achievement.

‘It’s open.’

And the day passed.

Upon returning home, Cha Jin-hyeok checked his bank account balance again.

‘It’s too sooner than my plan?’

Bigger support than expected.

And 10 golden toad dungeon clears and 7x jackpot effect.

When all these things are added, the cash given to Cha Jin-hyeok is about 8 billion won.

This was enough money to buy a decent building in Yeonhui-dong.

‘Ah, but now that I think about it, there are things I need to do before becoming a landlord.’

It was so simple, but there was something I forgot.
