Episode 121. terrible hybrid
“You can come now!”
After a while, Franco came out of the cave and motioned for the group to come inside.
The group began to follow Franco into the cave with slightly nervous faces.
Franco, who had been walking for a while holding a torch, stopped the group at some point.
“Here it is.”
The place Franco was pointing to was a place that looked like an entrance to some space.
It felt like the cave, which was a bit cramped, had suddenly widened.
“It is a habitat for twin-headed ogres. It’s dark so you can’t see it well, right? But it’s full of ogres inside.”
At Franco’s words, the group looked into the space with their eyes focused.
However, no one confirmed that the twin-headed ogre was inside.
It was so pitch black that not even a single light could come in.
‘hmm… .’
However, Kim Jin-seong was an exception.
Possessing the characteristics of ‘night hunting expert’ and ‘infrared eye’, he was able to sufficiently check with the naked eye no matter how dark the place was.
‘There is… .’
Kim Jin-seong narrowed his eyes to take a closer look at the huge figures loitering in the corner.
‘… But it looks a little different?’
There wasn’t a big difference, but it definitely looked a bit different from the twin-headed ogres I’d encountered on the island so far.
‘overhead… . ‘That’s a horn, right?’
That was when Jinseong Kim confirmed it up to that point.
Quang!
Suddenly, an explosion exploded overhead.
When I raised my head, I saw that the high ceiling of the cave was collapsing from the impact.
“Huh?!”
“what?!”
“Avoid it for now!”
Franco shouted as he pushed the panicked group towards the way they came.
When everyone started running, Kim Jin-seong also turned and tried to run away.
It was then.
▶ Mana has been blocked.
▶ Mana cannot be used.
‘uh?!’
Kim Jin-seong is startled by the notification window he sees for the first time.
At the same time, someone kicked his leg, causing Kim Jin-seong to fall forward.
Kim Jin-seong, who immediately stood up, was shocked.
He caught sight of Franco, who had just turned around to run away, staring coldly at him.
‘what?’
It was incomprehensible, but I wasn’t in a position to worry about that right now.
The remains of the cave ceiling, which had begun to collapse, eventually reached Jinseong Kim’s head.
Jinseong Kim reflexively threw his body away.
Rumbling… !
The cave entrance collapsed completely at almost the same time.
“Phew… .”
Kim Jin-seong, who saw that, immediately sighed in relief.
By a very narrow margin, he succeeded in dodging by flying his body into the habitat.
‘I survived because my basic agility was high.’
Kim Jin-seong, who had continued to absorb their characteristics while killing numerous monsters and villains, had now grown significantly in his basic physical abilities.
So, even when mana was blocked, he was able to jump and fly a long distance at once.
‘Anyway, Franco, what’s with that bastard all of a sudden?’
“Woooooo!!”
At that time, a loud roar was heard from behind.
The monsters in the habitat gathered because of the loud noise that came from the cave collapsing.
Jinseong Kim looked back at the monsters.
‘… What is that?’
The sight of the monsters running towards me was somehow strange.
At first glance, it looked similar to a twin-headed ogre.
However, it was much larger than anything I had seen on the island so far, and its entire body was covered in brown leather.
Above all, the two heads looked exactly like cows.
‘That’s a combination of a Minotaur and a Twin Head Ogre, right?’
Kim Jin-seong was taken aback by the sight of this truly horrendous hybrid.
‘It’s not some kind of crossbreed monster… .’
Wow!
‘Wow!’
At that time, Kim Jin-seong rolled sideways as the monster attacked with a roar.
bang! The ogre’s fist, which Jinseong Kim avoided, was deeply embedded in the cave wall, and the entire cave shook slightly due to the impact.
‘It’s really fast?’
Kim Jin-seong drew his sword with a serious expression at the unexpected speed of the monster’s attack.

It was then.
“are you okay?!”
Franco’s shout was heard from the collapsed entrance.
Kim Jin-seong’s eyebrows twitched.
‘He shamelessly tried to kill me… !’
Why do you put your foot on the line and shout so shamelessly? Are you doing this to make me sick?
“Wait a minute! “I’ll call someone soon and solve it!”
As soon as Franco finished speaking, the sound of footsteps near the entrance receded.
‘Wait here just means you’re telling me to die, right?’
It was a truly absurd story.
Kim Jin-seong, who was laughing out loud, glanced at the hybrid monsters in front again.
If he had been one of the other party members, he would have died without being able to properly dodge even a single punch attack.
Karen might be able to hold out for a little while. However, Kim Jin-seong was confident that Karen would not have lasted long either.
However, the person trapped here was none other than Kim Jin-seong.
‘And it’s actually a good situation for me.’
Wow!
At that time, the hybrid monster in front of me swung its fist again.
▶ I used the skill ‘Nullify’.
▶ You have been released from mana blockade.
As soon as two lines of notifications appeared in front of his eyes, Kim Jin-seong activated his mana to the maximum.
Immediately after that, Kim Jin-seong began to move like another person.
Just by lightly opening my body, I was able to throw away the monster’s fist.
▶ Switch to ‘Shinma Unity’ state.
In an instant, Jinseong Kim’s sword cut deeply into the side of the hybrid monster.
The monster stumbled and let out a painful scream.
Kim Jin-seong, who was brushing off his sword while looking at that scene, thought to himself.
‘I’m in a situation where I can catch them all by myself.’
To Kim Jin-seong, the new monster was not a threat.
Rather, it was the best honeypot that allowed you to obtain the abilities and skills due to the characteristics, as well as Vis Crimea points all at once.
Now that I can have this honeypot all to myself, what a great situation it is!
Wow!
Once again, the hybrid monster screamed and rushed at me.
Jinseong Kim easily dodged the punch this time, then turned around lightly and swung his sword.
Wow!
The hybrid monster’s thigh was cut deeply, and blood poured out like a fountain.
Even as he looked at the wounds that exposed even his white bones, Kim Jin-seong had a sad face.
‘This doesn’t cut in one go.’
I thought there would be an absolute cut since I cut it properly while in the state of Shinma unity, but I was only able to cut half of it.
It was proof that the monster in front of me had tougher skin than I thought.
‘then… .’
Kim Jin-seong immediately kicked off the ground and jumped high.
Kim Jin-seong, who soared above the heads of the hybrid monsters in an instant, turned his body as if spinning and swung his sword.
Suddenly-.
This time, a cow’s head fell to the ground with a clean sound.
A hybrid monster that lost one head howled like crazy.
Kim Jin-seong, who landed a little far away after swinging his sword, looked at the sight and nodded.
‘Maybe it’s because the neck is a little less thick, but it cuts off in one go.’
Jinseong Kim raised his sword and looked ahead.
Hybrid monsters were rushing towards him.
“Let’s finish quickly. “Because there’s one guy I have to chase after!”
It was Kim Jin-seong, who shouted loudly and then jumped as hard as he could towards the monsters.
* * *
Same time.
A battle as fierce as that in the ogre habitat was taking place in the center of the cave passage.
Sigh!
“Ugh… !”
Rio opened his eyes with a deathly scream.
The sword Rio was holding fell helplessly. Rio looked down at his chest with trembling eyes.
Franco’s long sword was stuck deep in Rio’s left chest.
“… How… west… ?”
To Rio, who asked a question with an expression of disbelief, Franco answered with a cold expression.
“We don’t need weak guys who can only be used as body disposal squads. More than anything… .”
He glanced at the backpack Rio was carrying and continued.
“The price of the magic stones you brought is much more expensive than the cost of hiring you as a body disposal team.”
“… … !”
“I’ll write well, Leo. “Now go see your parents.”
Wow!
When Franco pulled out his sword, Rio fell to the floor helplessly.
Next to Rio, who was no longer moving, the corpses of the same party members were already strewn about.
“Now there is only one left.”
Franco looked ahead.
Unlike her companions who have already become corpses, Karen is standing in good condition.
As many as seven of Franco’s colleagues surrounded him, with his sword outstretched and his eyes calm.
“Let’s finish this quickly before the black-haired bastard comes.”
As Franco continued, his colleague Ivan, who was standing right next to him, asked with a bright look in his eyes.
“Are you skilled enough to have to worry about joining?”
“First of all, he’s much stronger than that bastard.”
“… Then we have to deal with it quickly.”
The rest of the colleagues also nodded in agreement.
They all had realized from the battle just now that Karen’s skills were not average.
However, if a stronger person joined, it would be a huge pain in the ass.
‘More than anything, I immediately unlocked the mana blockade skill I had set up with my own power.’
Franco thought as he prepared to pounce on Karen.
The ‘mana blockade’ skill that had been applied to Kim Jin-seong when the cave entrance was destroyed a little while ago was soon released.
‘There aren’t many people who have mastered this skill so quickly… .’
All of the people who had solved the mana blockade so far were only experts who were much stronger than Franco.
So Franco was even more anxious.
‘He might be a lot more dangerous than I thought. ‘You can’t let a guy like that join.’
After thinking like that, Franco shouted.
“Finish it quickly!”
At the same time, everyone rushed towards Karen.
Franco, who was the first to attack, was just about to raise his sword above his head.
“… … !!”
Franco’s eyes widened.
It was because of Karen’s appearance that had suddenly come before my eyes. She charged into the station first before she was surrounded.
He instinctively lowered his sword and took a defensive stance.
Cough!
‘Tsk… !’
Franco takes a long step back, his face distorted.
A tearing pain came from the grip holding the sword I had blocked.
Franco gritted his teeth.
“This bastard was hiding his powers!”
The appearance that Karen had shown so far and the appearance when she had just attacked Franco were on a completely different level.
Seeing that his speed and strength were at the same level as other people, it was clear that he had deliberately hidden his strength until now.
“Dangerous!”
At that time, I heard a colleague shout from next to me.
Karen lunged at Franco again.
Karen had reached the front and was just about to swing her sword.
“… … !”
Karen suddenly flinched.
At the same time, Franco swung his sword with all his might towards Karen, who had noticeably slowed down in swinging her sword.
Karen urgently tried to take a defensive stance, but the speed at which she raised her sword was also much slower than before.
In the end, he allowed Franco’s attack.
Okay!
“Ugh… !”
Karen, who had received a deep cut on her left shoulder, stepped back and frowned in pain.
Franco grinned at him.
“why? “Do you think I might suddenly not be able to use my mana?”
“… … !”
Karen’s eyes shook.
He suddenly realized that the reason he could no longer use mana was because of Franco’s abilities.
