Episode 167. The one who rules the jungle (1)
Kim Jin-seong’s fist struck Juan’s head with precision.
‘Pfft!’
Juan, who was so shocked that his entire suit shook, frowned involuntarily.
Still, he was instinctively conflicted about how to move.
‘Once you’re stuck in the tower, you have to take as much time as possible… uh?’
However, Juan was surprised by the sudden feeling of his entire body losing strength and checked the system window.
– HP has become 0%.
– He passed away.
– 1 death is added.
– After 11 seconds, you will be resurrected at the recovery fountain in your ally’s Nexus.
‘what?!’
Juan was dumbfounded.
The remaining 30% HP was blown away with just one hit?
As he was staring blankly at the window in disbelief, he heard a voice he really didn’t want to hear.
-What are you doing now?
At this moment, Luca’s nagging, which I hated the most, continued.
– What if I die in the mid lane, where I need to be the most strong? Don’t you know that this game becomes most dangerous when your back is broken?
“No, now something ridiculous has happened! How in one room… .”
– Are you trying to make a dirty excuse? Zhu is said to be the best prospect in the Great Triunfo Clan. not. sir. You can’t do that, right?
“… … .”
– Please be more careful in the future. look! Hasn’t one-fifth of the Mid Tower’s blood already gone?
In response to Luca’s endless reprimands, Juan could only listen in silence, rarely being able to utter a word of excuse.
Of course, I couldn’t help my face becoming increasingly red with anger.
And Luca, who was watching it, slightly raised one corner of his mouth as if he was complaining.
– Seeing your face turning red, I guess you know it’s embarrassing? That’s a good thing.
‘Fuck you bastard. Let’s wait and see! Just try dying once… !’
Juan, who had been growling internally while gritting his teeth, soon made an expression of incomprehension again.
‘No, how can you take more than 30% off with a single punch? ‘If I wear this suit, I’ll never be able to use that much power in one shot, right?’
Regardless of its various systematic functions, this suit is basically built to be sturdy.
This means that the basic defense power is high.
Didn’t Chano, who recorded his first death earlier, die after being hit by nearly 10 hits from Arlovski?
‘But how can I…’ ?’
Juan still doesn’t understand.
And here, there was a red team player who had the same curiosity as Juan.
He was the youngest member of team 8.
– and… ! What was that just now?
He asked in a surprised voice as he returned to his original position after playing the role of ‘body bread’ that took the tower missile as ordered by Kim Jin-seong.
– How did you kill Juan with one blow and not someone else… ?
“That’s right. “I’m also amazed.”
Kim Jin-seong is just acting like this on the outside.
‘Looking at the reaction, it seems like the use of the killing skill wasn’t obvious.’
The skill I just used to catch the main eye was the ‘Sal’ skill, which can be easily used even when the mana tank is small.
‘With a maximum mana of only 400, there aren’t many useful skills.’
All skills that Jinseong Kim can currently use require at least 200 mana. Confusion, ability blockade, neck cutter, etc.
Of course, the ‘Diamond Bull Ingot’ that exceeds 1,000 cannot even be used at all.
But ‘sal’ is different.
The Sal skill, which ‘uses half of the maximum mana’, can be used without burden even if the mana tank is small.
‘Rather, it is a skill that becomes burdensome to use as the level increases and the mana pool increases. ‘You should use it a lot now that your level is low.’
Kim Jin-seong thought to himself as he began to climb upward through the enemy jungle.
Whiiing~
The sound of the wind could be heard behind him as he ran.
In fact, Kim Jin-seong changed nearby mana into wind properties and then blew wind from behind to push his body forward.
As a result, the running speed was more than doubled.
This was the reason why I arrived earlier than expected, both when I was helping the former Team 7 player earlier and when I was moving around the enemy jungle to kill Juan.
‘Above all, in a situation where the mana pool is this small, it is efficient to use elemental abilities.’
Being able to use all elemental abilities with the ‘Mana Controller’ trait has become a huge help in the current situation.
In particular, he had several characteristics that could reduce mana consumption when using elemental abilities.
▷ Mana lag: The abilities of all skills that use mana are doubled, and MP consumption is reduced by 1/2.
▷ Soil content absorption: Absorbs soil content without moving in place. HP and MP recovery speed is 10 times faster. Without soil content, the property will not be active.
‘In particular, the soil absorption property obtained by killing Porginae is amazing.’
When dealing with jungle monsters, you can see your mana refilling at an incredible rate even if you fight while standing still.
In fact, the speed of mana refilling was faster than using elemental abilities.
‘Let’s quickly move to the tower, hide in the grass, and stand there for a few seconds. Then all your mana will be restored.’
Kim Jin-seong glanced at the MP bar showing the floor and ran even faster toward the top line.
The plan was to quickly recover MP by hiding in the nearby grass, and then use the opportunity to catch the opponent’s top 3 teams.

Gian saw the system window that appeared on the screen in front of him and immediately checked the minimap.
His eyes caught the sight of the enemy team 8 players and team 6 Arlovski attempting the so-called ‘dive in the tower’, taking control and escaping leisurely.
‘… this.’
In particular, the sight of Arlovski hiding in the jungle above the friendly forces particularly caught his attention.
If you go straight up in that direction, you will be taken to exactly where he is.
This means that the probability of being hit by a so-called ‘gang’ has increased.
‘This could be dangerous.’
When that thought occurred to Kian, he had no choice but to take a step back without realizing it.
Naturally, they began to move away from the enemy team’s tower, and as a result, Team 5, Hans, was free from pressure and comfortably hunted mini monsters, earning souls and experience points.
It was then.
– Hey, Chano! Go to the tower quickly!
For some reason, Juan’s voice, very angry, came through the speaker.
– We’re heading to Arlovski Tower now! Quickly go and help! If you don’t help him, he might get beat up 2-1!
– yes.
After Chano answered, he finished off the jungle monster he was holding and began moving toward the tower.
Gian was relieved when he saw that.
‘If I do this, I won’t have to die at all.’
The scene where Juan just got tower dived was still lingering in my memory.
If Chano came to help, at least he wouldn’t have to tower dive to his death.
– I’ll hide here in the grass.
As Chano spoke, he began to walk towards the thick grass in the middle of both towers.
Gian looked at that indifferently.
“… for a moment!”
A sudden thought occurred to me and I shouted urgently.
“Don’t go in, get in the ward first! “Maybe they come first and are waiting for you!”
Earlier, the image of Arlovski arriving at the mid lane and friendly jungle at a much faster speed than expected appeared in his mind.
At his shout, Chano hurriedly stopped right in front of the grass.
Then, just as they were about to bury the ward in the grass.
– … Ugh?!
Chano suddenly panics.
When Gian checked, smoke was suddenly rising from the grass.
It was smoke of the same color as the thunder cloud that Arlovski created in the American drama earlier.
“It’s Arlovski! damage!”
– Wow!
Chano was scared and immediately started running away without looking back.
Arlovski, who suddenly appeared from the smoke, followed behind him.
Seeing him catching up at an incredible speed, Kian immediately tried to chase after him to help.
but.
Kang!
He had to stop and raise his sword to block Hans’ attack from Team 5, which was attacking right away.
Hans’ sword, which he blocked, had little strength. He swung his sword as a check to prevent Gian from going to help.
“Damn… !”
Gian looked at Chano again with a perplexed expression.
Gian, who saw that the distance between the two had narrowed in an instant, shouted loudly again.
“Use your blinker to get over the wall! “Arlovski doesn’t have a blinking skill!”
– … ah!
Chano then used the basic skill ‘Blink’ towards the wall next to him with an exclamation.
At the same time, Chano, who teleported to the next passage, breathed a sigh of relief.
– Phew… ! I lived for now! Gian, please be careful too.
– Yeah, be careful! Don’t go too far forward, go back a little!
Gian stayed in his seat and responded to Juan who urged Chano on.
“If a gang comes, you can escape with ease at your current location.”
The position where he is standing now is right near the center of the top line.
Because it is a place with a clear view of the jungle passage right next to it, even if Arlovski comes up to attack, it is a place where you can see it with your own eyes and escape safely.
– Could it be possible to come in from behind the tower?
To Chano’s next question, Kian answered as if it made no sense.
“If you come in there, you should be hit by at least two tower missiles. And getting hit twice now is tantamount to suicide.”
The passage Chano mentioned is literally right behind the friendly tower.
If you want to come in along that path and attack from behind, you have no choice but to come within the range of the tower.
Later on, after I leveled up and purchased a lot of good traits with my soul, I could take a couple of tower missiles without any trouble, but that was definitely not the case now.
“If you come in now, I’d be grateful. All you have to do is move right back and catch Arlovski… uh?”
Gian, who continued speaking, sounded extremely embarrassed at the end.
This was because I saw Arlovski suddenly appear from inside the passage.
‘Are you sure a gang is coming that way?’
Gian looked dumbfounded when he saw Arlovski running exactly behind Gian, towards the friendly tower.
What kind of confidence do you have to run while being hit by a tower missile at level 4, that is, with only a maximum HP of 400?
‘Could it be that there is some other solution?’
It was a route that made so much sense that I was wondering if there was some kind of secret behind it.
The tower fired a guided missile at Arlovski, who came within range.
The missile flew at high speed and reached right in front of Arlovski.
and… .
“… … !!”
Kian’s eyes widened as he watched.
This was because Arlovski instantly turned into smoke, and the tower missile passed through the smoke and hit the ground.
Afterwards, Kian was astonished to see the acting change into Arlovski again.
It was said that he ‘transformed’ through ‘acting’… ?!’
Even when I created a thunder cloud in the mid lane earlier, I thought I was emitting smoke inside.
But that was Gian’s mistake.
