Player who Returned 10,000 years Later

Chapter 14: Is that really enough? (1)

‘Level D Gate.’ Kang Yu’s face creaked over the nasty humidity in the area.

— Apparently, every gate has its own landscape. — This time the dense forests were replaced by impassable swamps.

‘Not a nice place to hunt.’ It’s not that fighting on a surface like this was difficult, but this type of terrain was not suitable for using the Blade Power.

‘Well, I’ll attack from a distance.’ His arsenal of long-range combat skills included over a hundred Powers.

He would not have the same problems as other Players who could only use the limited skills they received.

— The Power of Silence is the ability to mute the necessary sounds.

As Han Sol recommended, he ‘muted’ his steps and went in search of monsters.

‘Three Creatures.’ Kang Yu noticed some Lizardmen that were not far from him.

Lizardmen were the size of a man. They each had a spear with them, surveying the surrounding area. They looked a lot more dangerous than goblins.

‘They have bad eyesight.’

Considering their body structure, they belonged to the reptile class.

They couldn’t see well, but they could hear well, which is what they relied on while hunting.

Armed with this information in advance, Kang Yu was able to get close enough so that they didn’t even notice him.

‘Great.’ Kang Yu walked behind them, smiling.

If it was possible to attack suddenly, there was nothing difficult about hunting.

‘The Power of Hellfire.’

The power that belonged to a demon named Andras.

A high-end Power that could destroy everything around it.

There were lights dancing on Kang Yu’s right wrist. They weren’t just flames, they were the Hellfire, ready to destroy.

Kang Yu pointed his hand towards the Lizardmen.

A small light shot at the monster and, as soon as it reached the target, grew so that it covered the whole body of the Lizardman.

The three Lizardmen dumbfounded by a surprise attack raised their spears and rushed towards Kang Yu.

Effortlessly dodging their attack, he continued to watch the Hellfire do its job.

After a while, they fell to the ground with screams, losing all their vitality.

They had just been burned with Hellfire, but there were no burns on their bodies.

‘As expected of the Power of Andras.’ Unlike other fire-related skills, this one did not burn the body – it burned the life force.

This is the Power of Hellfire.

According to well-known laws, if you set something on fire, it will burn. But the Power of Andras relied on Magi.

‘It was hard to fight him.’ Kang Yu’s body got goosebumps as he recalled the fight with Andras.

If he hadn’t accumulated enough Magi by then, he’d have suffered like these monsters.

— Ugh. — This Power has always been useful.

Fire only burned around one of his hands, but Kang Yu could feel how much Magi was wasting away.

‘It’s a good thing I raised my level, otherwise it would be difficult to use this Power.’ If the force that sealed Man Ma Jung wasn’t weakening, then an easy hunt could actually tire him out.

‘If you think about it…’ Suddenly, Kang Yu thought about Tae Hyun in his head. ‘He belongs to the Andras Guild.’

Quite significant among the middle-ranking guilds, the guild, which has been the subject of so many bad rumors, suddenly coincided by name with the Power, which was now used by Kang Yu.

Well, the 72 Solomon Demons are quite popular in human circles.

Kang Yu did not know what the reason was, but most of the demon names of the Nine Thousandth Circle of Hell have long been known on Earth.

For example, the Seven Great Demons are described in the Bible as Seven Deadly Sins.

Demons living in the Nine Thousandth Circle of Hell are mentioned both in religious texts and in legends.

In fact, Andras was not very popular at the time and still did not receive much attention.

‘I must find the Magi first.’ Kang Yu sent the Devourer’s Power to the corpses.

‘As I thought, goblins aren’t the only ones who have Magi.’ A small amount of energy spilled over into him.

Expectations of the numbers were met, too. The higher the monster level, the bigger the Magi.

And there was definitely more of it in lizardmen than in goblins.

‘Of course, it is not comparable to the Magi contained in demons.’ Unlike demons that needed Magi to maintain their strength and move, the local monsters used Marek for such needs.

Kang Yu couldn’t stop thinking about the Magi contained in demons.

A notice came up before Kang Yu’s eyes.

[Magi raised by 1 unit]

— Well, better than nothing.

It would be much worse if there was absolutely no way to accumulate Magi.

Kang Yu again activated the Silence Power and went on to look for monsters.

The hunting wasn’t going to get any easier than this.

Use the Power of Silence to sneak up behind you and attack with the Power of Hellfire.

It was so easy that Kang Yu wondered if he was hunting at all. He used the same technique over and over, and the result was the same.

With the help of the Power of Hellfire, Kang Yu was able to slaughter three or four Lizardmen at a time, so he specifically looked for monsters that were piled up in groups.

‘Who would want more work?’ He had an easy way of hunting and the power to bring this plan to life.

So there was no need for another method.

‘Simplicity is the right way to do this.’

Using their poor eyesight against them, he could get as close as possible and muffle the sounds of those he attacked to prevent other Lizardmen from noticing. And then he used the Hellfire to burn all their life force.

You could say that this method violated all the rules.

The dying Lizardmen tried their best to get to Kang Yu with their spears.

But no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t cut the distance.

They could only scream before falling dead.

This wasn’t exactly what you’d call a ‘fair’ battle.

But it was Kang Yu’s method.

‘When was hunting ever supposed to be fair?’

Hunting is something that takes a life. This was his opportunity to buy new trophies.

There’s no room for justice in this situation.

That’s how the human brain works.

Thinking rudely and cruelly.

That’s what Kang Yu had realized when he was in Hell.

By following his own rules, Kang Yu continued to hunt for lizardmen.

A notice came up.

[Level up by 1]

Despite the absurdity of the method, the hunting was effective.

In just a few hours, Kang Yu could climb three levels.

‘The levelling is too slow.’ The murder of five goblins had raised him to two or three levels. For the murder of 20 or 30 Lizardmen, his level increased by only one unit.

Not only the level, but his Magi was rising slower than before, too.

‘As expected.’ He’d read a study that the higher the level of the Player, the more it takes to level up.

However, if you compare Kang Yu’s rate of increase with other players, it was unrealistically fast.

For regular players of rank 2, even if they were geared up, it was simply impossible to rise by 3 levels in a few hours.

It’s likely that this became known, the other players will tear Kang Yu apart.

After grabbing the fallen mana stones, Kang Yu opened the status window.
