Episode 164. Welcome to Monster’s Canyon
“… yes?”
Dante asked back without realizing it.
Because the sound that came out of Arlovski’s mouth was that ridiculous.
But Arlovski was confident as he continued speaking.
“That’s literally it. I will deal with all 5 people. Until then, all you have to do is hold on to the three lines.”
“… Do you think that’s possible?”
“it’s possible. “Everyone, come here.”
Kim Jin-seong took the group to a place where the ‘Monster’s Canyon’ map was spread out.
“My strategy is like this. “All four people except me should stand in the line.”
“Four people? “Not three people?”
“yes. That way, you can survive against Juan or Luca. In my opinion, teams 7 and 8 should be able to deal with one Juan.
“With two of us, we can block at least Juan or Luca, right?”
“Sure!”
“Sounds obvious… .”
Players from teams 7 and 8 answer excitedly. He seemed quite proud when he was told that he couldn’t even fight a 2-on-1 opponent.
“And teams 4 and 5 can mark the other two. Dante?”
“yes?”
“Can you take on Juan or Luca by yourself? “It’s not about winning, it’s about staying safe.”
“It is possible to endure. Even Juan or Luca won’t be able to easily fight against me with the tower.”
“Then that’s enough.”
Kim Jin-seong picked up his pen and drew a circle larger than the two remaining jungles combined.
“If you just hold on like that, I will eat all the jungle monsters and all the opposing jungles, then I will grow up and go help you.
“After all lines are cleared, you can finish the game quickly without giving time.”
“… “Is that possible?”
Kim Jin-seong answered Dante, who asked with a doubtful expression.
“We can’t win this way. You know, right? “In fact, I am the only hope for our team.”
“That’s true, but… .”
When everyone acknowledged it, Jinseong Kim declared to them.
“Trust me. “I will definitely lead the red team to victory.”
After he finished speaking, there was a faint smile on his face.
To the other Red Team players, it was a smile that somehow felt reassuring.

– Welcome to Monster’s Canyon.
With an announcement in the stadium, the 10 players summoned to ‘Monster’s Canyon’ ran out of the Nexus at once.
While watching the scene, the commentators began broadcasting.
[Everyone, you’ve been waiting for such a long time! From now on, we will broadcast to you the 2nd round team match of the youngest contestant.]
[First of all, no one is making any special movements.]
As the commentator said, players from both teams were spread out across the valley across the center of the canyon, watching for any possible group entry by the opposing team.
[If this happens, no accidents will occur until the mini monster is created.]
[Then, let’s analyze the strength of both teams at this point. What do you think?]
In response to Thomas Castor’s question, Daniel Narrator began to explain what he had written in the script in advance.
[First of all, the Blue Team, which has two players, Juan and Luca, has a clear advantage. My prediction is that the Blue Team will place Juan and Luca on the line and use their strength to press the line.]
[Actually, if you look at ROL games, if the lane battle is strong, it is difficult for the enemy jungle to act easily.]
[you’re right. If the lane battle is strong, you can push the enemy into the tower at once and then roam the jungle yourself.]
[So the blue team will take the lane battle strongly… You predicted. What do you think of the Red Team?]
[well… . I think it will be important for the red team to see where Arlovski, the only trustworthy player, stands. It seems likely that he will be in the mid lane, which is the most important lane… .]
– A mini monster has been created.
[…] Oh, the moment I mentioned that, a mini monster was created. Everyone seems to be moving to their respective locations.]
The commentators carefully checked where both players were moving through the monitor.
After confirming that everyone was in line, the first thing they did was look for where Arlovski was standing.
[…] Oh, Arlovski starts in the jungle, not the line!]
[Isn’t this a bit surprising? Jungle is a very difficult position to play in if the entire line is pushed… .]
[There are even two people running around the jungle on the other side! If this is the case, won’t it be difficult for the red team to find an advantage even in the jungle?]
[That is highly likely. No matter how Arlovski is, it would be difficult to deal with two hunters from the same Triunfo Clan at the same time.]
At a time when the commentators were pessimistically analyzing the Red Team’s position.
Kim Jin-seong, who was waiting for the jungle monster to be created, heard the voice of Team 4’s youngest member, Dante.
– The enemy team’s top is Team 3, Gian.
– The enemy team’s midfield is the main focus.
– The enemy team’s bottom is Luca.
Kim Jin-seong nodded after hearing the reports from other team members.
“As expected, the enemies are trying to take the lane battle strong.”
The intention was clearly visible just by looking at the placement of the three strongest players in the three lines.
“Then let’s go with the plan we planned earlier. “For teams 7 and 8, please face one Juan in mid.”
– yes.
– yes.
“And team 5 will be at the top, and team 4 will be at the bottom.”
Dante asked, surprised by the next words.

– You want me to go bottom? You’re not playing against the top three teams?
“yes. Since the goal is to endure anyway, there is no need to go to the top and compete for pride. And wouldn’t Dante be able to stop Luca more easily than Hans?”
– … All right.
Dante agreed to the following explanation and began moving straight toward the bottom.
Kim Jin-seong thought to himself as soon as he saw Dante standing on the bottom line and dealing with Luca.
‘If you structure it like this, you won’t rush in just to win.’
If Dante had been placed at the top, there was a high possibility that his body would move forward to overcome his rival, Gian.
Then, the moment you die due to the intervention of the enemy jungle, the top tower will be pushed out before Jinseong Kim can grow.
do not do that.
Even if you are unilaterally pushed back in a lane battle, you have to keep holding on without dying in order to win according to the strategy planned by Kim Jin-seong.
So, Dante was deliberately arranged to deal with Luca. Because he won’t step forward to win against Luca.
‘The deployment is over, now all I have to do is do well.’
Just as I was thinking that, something huge suddenly appeared in front of me.
It appeared through the warp magic circle… .
‘It’s a giant stone golem.’
It was a monster that looked almost identical to the giant golem I had previously seen in the level 10 Demon World Dungeon.
‘Couldn’t the actual attack power be the same as the golem back then?’
If the golem’s physical abilities were the same, it was absolutely impossible for Kim Jin-seong, whose abilities were currently suppressed, to win.
But his worries were unfounded.
‘… ‘Is it too slow?’
The attack speed of the stone golem swinging its fist was slow enough to make me yawn.
Jinseong Kim, who could only use 6% of his normal abilities, was able to dodge the attack very easily.
‘… ah!’
Jinseong Kim, who was looking at the golem’s fist after easily dodging the attack, soon discovered one thing.
‘You’re wearing hunter handcuffs!’
The moment Kim Jin-seong discovered the familiar handcuffs on the stone golem’s wrists and ankles, he realized why the stone golem’s attack speed was so slow.
‘They put handcuffs on the hunter and deliberately adjusted their abilities so that we can deal with them sufficiently.’
Hunting is possible even when the level is low.
Kim Jin-seong soon tried to counterattack once after dodging the stone golem’s attack.
With each attack he used, the stone golem’s limbs were shattered one by one.
Soon, the head of the stone golem, of which only the body remained, was pummeled! And that’s when it exploded.
A system window appeared on the screen in front of me.
– 100% experience gained.
– Your level has risen!
– Obtained mana buff.
– Mana Buff: Gain mana regeneration equal to 4 + 2% of maximum mana per second.
Current level: 2
HP: 200
MP: 191
※ Currently, actual physical abilities are being suppressed. You can only use 7% of your usual amount.
‘Oh, that’s right. It was said that if you catch this monster, the mana buff will be activated for a certain period of time.’
Jinseong Kim remembered the explanation Dante gave him earlier and removed all the system windows in front of him.
‘… uh? what?’
Even so, Kim Jin-seong was momentarily taken aback by the notification window in front of him that still remained.
But soon I realized it and laughed.
‘Ah, this is my personal notification window.’
Thinking to himself, he read the notification window in front of him.
▶ You have defeated the monster.
▶ Obtained 300 Vis Creama points.
▶ You have already acquired the opposing monster’s characteristic, ‘Rock Giant’.
A strange look appeared in Kim Jin-seong’s eyes as he read them all.
‘The description is the same as the golem I met in the level 10 Demon Dungeon?’
The vis creama points and attribute names were the same as when I caught the giant golem at the time.
Could it be that they actually captured the stone golem in the dungeon and used it this round?
‘… Well, it doesn’t matter anyway. It’s only beneficial for me to get some Vis Crimea points.’
Kim Jin-seong, not wanting to think too deeply, even cleared the notification window right in front of him.
Jinseong Kim thought as he moved towards the huge twin-headed ogre seen right next to him.
‘Now that I think about it, I caught it without even using basic skills.’
Kim Jin-seong’s eyes turned to the bottom right of the screen.
※ Basic skills
– Smite: Deals 500 fixed damage to monsters. Has a cooldown of 45 seconds.
– Teleportation: Teleport to friendly monsters and structures. It has a cooldown of 300 seconds.
‘They said you can catch monsters much easier if you use the slam skill.’
Dante said it was the most necessary skill when roaming the jungle.
So I chose it, but I forgot to use it because I habitually only use the heavy water method to deal with it.
‘I’ll have to try this this time.’
Jinseong Kim immediately lunged at the Twin Head Ogre, then extended both hands forward while dodging the attack.
With one hand using the multiplication skill and the other hand using the slam skill, I placed my palms on the ogre’s two heads.
Puff!
Two heads were smashed at once. Soon, the Twin Head Ogre’s massive body fell to the ground helplessly.
– Gained 40% experience.
▶ You have defeated the monster.
▶ Obtained 130 Vis Creama points.
▶ You have already acquired the opposing monster’s characteristic, ‘Mutant Ogre’s Superpower’.
Kim Jin-seong thought to himself as he cleared away the screen and all the windows in front of him again.
‘Let’s start by leveling up by catching monsters as quickly as possible.’
With that in mind, I was about to move on to find another monster.
– Ahh!!
Suddenly, a loud scream from one of the team members was heard through the speakers installed in the full body suit helmet.
