60 – How to challenge a savage gnoll to a 1v1 duel

In the center of the gnolls’ dwelling, the greatsword lands in the center of the group where the gnolls are most concentrated, scattering petals of steel—

…… !!!

─Hundreds of gnolls within a radius of 50 meters died instantly with their whole bodies torn to shreds like rags without even uttering a final word.

“…Ka-gang!!!”

“Keep…Kung…!!!”

.

.

.

A game with twice that number of gnolls, limbs being amputated by steel petals that have not lost their momentum even though they have already pierced several gnolls, and large holes are made in the torso and intestines are spilling out.

I fell into a state of incapacity to fight.

‘Whew~ I see, it’s so powerful that it can take about 30% of the magical power of a B-rank…. It must be superior to the high-level magic used by the mercenary grandfather in terms of wide-range attack power?’

I admired this blow, turning my shoulder aching from the throw as I watched as nearly half of the gnolls were rendered incapacitated.

Advanced magic functions: When you see that a magician who can be called a master of magic, who must have , Is barely able to use magic.

You can easily see how powerful high-grade gifts are.

“Then the momentum of the gnolls must have been dampened, shall we go now?”

I moved my feet as I watched the confused Gnoll camp.

***

As I got closer enough to see the gate with a hole big enough for a man to pass through,

──Kukkukkkong!!!!!!

From noble mtl dot com

Gathering in front of the gate, the vigilant nolls barked fiercely and threatened with spears.

They were threatening to expose their teeth to the extent that their gums were visible, but…

-Better

The tails curled between their legs and the tip of their spears quivering trembled, telling me how much they were intimidated by my attack.

I changed the gift while looking at those gnolls.

[Replace gift. [Overload] (B) ▶ [Taunt] (D)]

Use [! Target: Provocation (D)]

[Taunt (D) ▶ Intimidate (C)]

─Guuung

The moment the gift was changed, my presence swelled, and I began to press hard on the already shrunken Gnolls.

Ki, kki ing…… !!!

I was scared until just now, but the gnolls were threatening me… Now I couldn’t even make eye contact.

Turbuck-

Hurry up!

As soon as I took a step, the knolls took a step backwards and backed off without realizing it.

The Gnolls, who seemed to be reinforcements, rushed behind them, but….

─Flinch

The moment our eyes met, he rolled his tail and took a backward step, just like the other gnolls.

As if there was a transparent wall around me, the gnolls couldn’t come closer to me than a certain distance.

I looked at it and raised the corner of my mouth.

‘It went as expected.’

The ability of [Taunt], A gift, emits the holder’s presence in the form of a wave, stimulating the enemy to perceive that the holder of the gift is dangerous, making them target the person who used [Taunt] First.

It would be easier to understand if it was a tanker’s aggro skill that is commonly seen in games.

There, I used For the [Taunt] Gift.

As [Taunt] Rises to C grade, it not only exudes the user’s presence, but also has the ability to inflate the user’s presence.

The Gift went beyond stimulating monsters and sublimated into an ability to oppress them.

Still, if I had used it normally, the gnolls would have ended up shrinking…

I guess this kind of scene unfolded because the gnolls were already intimidated by my attacks.

Turbuck-

─Excellent!

A cluster of knolls splitting left and right as if the miracle of Moses had unfolded every time you stepped out.

In their heads, they are ordering to eliminate enemies who have trespassed into their dwellings, but….

The survival instinct of the body is ringing a lot of alarm bells as if to run away right now.

The Knolls couldn’t even do this or that, they just got out of the way I was advancing.

And it continued until I reached the largest of the tents, and at the entrance of the largest of the tents…

─One play was waiting for me.

“Grrr.”

Looks at least twice the size of the other gnolls… A gnoll with gray fur that feels the texture of hard, dull iron.

It was the boss of this dungeon, ‘Steel Mane Nol’.

“Grrr!”

A steel mane glow that doesn’t look good at first glance.

He looked at me and growled in a low voice, then frowned and howled ferociously at the gnolls who still didn’t close a certain distance from me.

“Kleurreung…!!!”

“Gwae, kkaegaeng…!!!”

The other gnolls took a step towards me, startled by the sound of him asking what he was doing without killing intruders, but….

“Beep…?!”

With my intimidating pressure, he immediately steps backwards.

“Kururua…!!!”

“Ki, kki ing…”

Seeing that and seeing the Knolls who were at a loss for what to do with the cry of a guy who was now alive, I opened my mouth.

“Hey, tin boy.”

“Greung…?”

“Yeah, dude. You’re talking about you.”

“Grrr…!!!”

Boss Knoll looked at me like he was saying me just now and let out a nasty cry.

Maybe it’s because I have the Function, it seemed like he understood my taunts.

“It’s perfect if you understand. I’m requesting you to be a mog-gora, tin-toned dog.”

He may not know exactly what I mean, but he must have understood the meaning behind my words…

“…Sniff!”

He just snorted and laughed at him, as if asking why I had to do that.

… Well, I actually thought so.

That guy has the aura of a solemn boss right now….

As written in the strategy guide, that guy is actually a very mean guy.

‘That guy’s phase 1 is to dig with the surrounding gnolls, and if he loses less than half of his blood and goes to phase 2, he has to tie his feet to the surrounding gnolls, and then run away with the dungeon core, I said everything….’

So, it is said that the representative hunting method for catching that guy is to use his weakness, fire magic, to instantly shed blood right before entering page 2.

And another method is a one-on-one duel….

That guy would never accept it in a normal way… A special method must be used.

“I’ll give you a present.”

Poof-!

I took out ‘something’ from the subspace and threw it at him.

Took-! Tuduk-

I fell in front of him, rolled around, and stopped in front of his feet—

—It was Gnoll’s head, which had been burnt to black.

“That’s right…?!”

He opened his eyes wide when he saw it, and then he started to tremble.

… I don’t know why. In the strategy guide, it was written that if you gift the boss with a by-product of an unusual entity that appears, the chance of the boss escaping will drastically decrease.

“That,ruaaa…!!!!!!”

And if that was true, he grabbed the halberd next to him and ran recklessly toward me.

Like a dog with rabies, a steel-maned gnoll attacking with bloody eyes and saliva dripping from its mouth.

‘「Wind Blade」.’

In order to test the durability of the guy lightly, I used wind magic with a shadowless spear to blow a blade of wind.

Hey!

The blade of the wind that flew like that pierced the gap of the recklessly running man and hit his body….

Dadang-!

The blade of the wind bounced off with a cheerful sound like hitting iron, and the blade of the wind disappeared without leaving any scars on the steel-maned gnoll.

“Grr…!!!”

It seems that he was hit by the blade of the wind, but it was only a weak blow that slightly twisted his running posture.

‘… Hmm. Is the durability itself similar to or slightly lower than that of the Fiat guy who used [Hardening] All over his body…. Indeed, should I call it a monster specialized in endurance?’

While I was judging the guy’s endurance, he came right in front of me and raised his halberd high.

“──Graaa!!!”

Shoo-!

A halberd falling fiercely through the wind with a scream-like spirit, as if it were about to split its head at once.

Tak-

I took a step to the side, lightly dodging the fierce blow.

Koo-wook-

I stomped on the head of the halberd I dodged and hit the ground with my foot.

‘「Gyeolcho 結草」.’

Charleureuk-!

It was a weed in the plains that was grown by activating the neck magic with the shadowless spear, and completely tied up and sealed its halberd.

“Ku, keureu!!!”

After trying to pull out the halberd a couple of times, the guy must have thought it was impossible to pull it out.

Hwiik-

Both arms with sharp claws the size of small daggers attack from both sides at the same time.

“Kaaa…!!!”

Pointy, sharp teeth, waiting for an opening to appear while dodging my arms.

An attack imbued with hatred from a guy who will attack me from the left, right and front.

As for the mortal attack attacking me from three sides, what I did was…

Jerbug-

—I took a deep step into his arms.

Poof-

“Kreu…?!”

The guy’s arms are swung around in the air, not avoiding it, but rather digging into it.

“…Croa!!!”

He opened his mouth wide enough to swallow a person’s head and tried to bite me….

‘「Coal Stone House」.’

f*ck-!

Perfect!

“……?!”

A stone the size of a fist shot from the ground hit the guy’s lower jaw with precision, forcing him to shut his mouth, so he couldn’t achieve his goal.

And all the attacks missed, and all that was left was the guy who was full of gaps.

Took-

From noble mtl dot com

I quietly placed my palm on his empty torso…

“「Depth Charge」.”

Intermediate level brain magic, shot at zero distance.

──Kwarung!!!!!

“……!!!”

A steel mane gnoll that shoots backwards with an intense thunderclap reverberating through the air.

The guy flew like an arrow shot and crashed into the largest tent in this residence, which is presumed to be his house…

Pud Deuk-!

Koo-ung! Thud-!

As if the pillars holding the tent were seriously damaged by the shock he hit, he was crushed by the rapidly collapsing tent, and his figure disappeared from sight.

In the aftermath of the collapse of the tent, a huge amount of dust was raised, and the entire field of vision was covered with dust.

“…….”

Puss-!

Despite the presence of hundreds of gnolls, only the sound of falling dust could be heard in the desolate space without a sound of breathing.

Turning his head towards the knolls, he saw knolls rolling his eyes and looking for an opportunity to escape from this spot.

They probably think that the captain who was hit directly by magic of such great power could never survive.

When I was watching those Gnolls slowly backing away like that—

─”Thunder” Was heard.

Kwareung──!!!

Something wrapped around the blue light of lightning that appeared with thunder.

It rushed towards me at breakneck speed, penetrating the thick dust.

‘「Quadruple Earthen Wall」.’

Four earthen walls rise from the ground by hearing the sound and reflexively using earthen magic. The strength of each earthen wall was so strong that it could be called a thick concrete wall….

Bang-!Boom-!Bam-! Kwa-!

The charge of something wrapped in lightning, in an instant, penetrated three earthen walls, and even the fourth earthen wall was shattered in half.

Poof- Tadak-

When he couldn’t break the fourth earthen wall, something jumped backwards using the wall as a stepping stone.

The identity of the something that eventually appeared as the dust settled…

“Guruaah——!!!!!”

It was a play of steel manes clad in lightning, roaring high in the sky.
