Why fight on the enemy’s home ground?
“In the first place, Quagmire’s true value wasn’t because he had a strong body or any special skills, right?”
Jang Seung-wook said to Baek Jun. Baekjun still had his eyes on his monitor, but Jang Seungwook didn’t seem to care.
“The most outstanding regenerative ability among existing monsters, as well as the ability to divide and reproduce. “This is why it is so infamous.”
“hmm.”
Baekjun nodded his head slightly and agreed.
Quagmire.
It was a monster with the ridiculous ability to be resurrected even if most of its body was removed, as long as the remaining body pieces had mana.
Therefore, it requires great concentration, stamina, and patience when dealing with it, and for that reason, it is selected as one of the most difficult monsters to deal with even among top-level hunters.
“Kim Jin-seong is alone in dealing with those guys who are having a hard time even with a large party clearing an A-class dungeon… “It’s close to impossible.”
“hmm.”
“I thought so.”
Baekjun turned to look at Jang Seungwook’s voice, which suddenly changed the direction of the conversation.
“I’m sure Kim Jin-seong from a month ago would never have won. But now… Honestly, I don’t know. “Jinseong Kim has grown so much in such a short period of time.”
Jang Seung-wook continued speaking while looking at the monitor with his arms crossed.
“I think if I’m lucky, I might catch one or two. “What about the CEO?”
Jang Seung-wook looks back at Baek-jun and asks a question.
This time Baekjun looked at the monitor.
“well.”
Baekjun answered as if he was talking to himself. In his eyes, the image of Kim Jin-seong, who had already entered battle for some time, was coming through the monitor.
* * *
thud! thud! thud!
The heavy sound of hitting the floor of the sewer, the walls on both sides, and the ceiling continued to echo at short intervals.
It was because of the Quagmires flying towards Kim Jin-seong in the shape of bouncy balls.
‘It’s tricky, really.’
Kim Jin-seong clicked his tongue inwardly and dodged Quagmire, which flew back at him once again.
‘It’s not difficult to attack or dodge, but it’s tricky.’
Kim Jin-seong’s eyes were filled with images of Quagmires, which had already grown to eight.
If Quagmire was not completely destroyed in one attack, another one was created due to division, and this was repeated until it reached this point.
‘It must be removed completely without any residue. To do that…’
Kim Jin-seong continued to dodge the enemy’s attacks and kept his head rolling.
How can I kill a slime monster with this ridiculous regenerative ability in one hit?
‘I guess I’ll have to deal with them slowly, one at a time.’
Kim Jin-seong immediately used ‘animal transformation’ to transform into a dark hound, a monster with increased agility.
Afterwards, with his demon energy activated, he started sprinting towards the other side of the passage.
The speed was incomparably faster than when he faced Porginay in the first round of the preliminaries.
Even Quagmire, the highest level monster, was at a level that was difficult to keep up with.
Kim Jin-seong, who ran for a while, stopped only when no one was detected by ‘location detection’.
After waiting for a while, the location tracking detected only one Quagmire approaching towards him.
‘Let’s test this kid.’
Jinseong Kim immediately created a huge sphere of magical energy in the palm of his hand.
And then he flew the sphere towards Quagmire, who had just appeared around the corner.
Quagmire’s body completely exploded, making a sticky popping sound.
Kim Jin-seong, who saw pieces of slime flying everywhere, immediately changed the nature of his mana.
Grumble!
In an instant, intense flames covered the surrounding sewer. The heat was enough to cover the entire area where pieces of Quagmire’s slime had landed.
The appearance of mucus burning and shrinking at a rapid rate.
That was when it felt like all the slime in Kim Jin-seong’s field of vision had evaporated.
Wow!
“······!”
A huge green mass suddenly rises from the central waterway.
If Kim Jin-seong had not reflexively turned his body to the side, he would have collided head-on. If that had been the case, a terrible scene like the thief number 10 earlier might have been created.
‘I failed.’
Kim Jin-seong bit his lip when he saw Quagmire looking back at him with a normal look, not even knowing when the explosion occurred.
‘It would be impossible to burn it with flames because of this deep channel.’
Although the flames were intense, it seemed that they were not able to burn all the slime pieces that fell into the water of the waterway.
If so, you need to find another way.
‘How about this?’
Jinseong Kim avoided Quagmire’s attack again and used two skills in succession.
▶ I used the skill ‘Neutralization’.
▶ I used the skill ‘Petrification Powder’.
Then, Quagmire’s entire body slowly turned gray and his speed began to slow down.
Ten seconds later, Jinseong Kim swung his fist covered in demonic energy at Quagmire’s body, which had completely turned to stone.
Quagmire was shattered into pieces with a loud sound of a stone being smashed.
At the same time, Kim Jin-seong created a black curtain that completely covered the surroundings.
All the stone fragments that were flying in all directions could not escape the outside of the black curtain.
‘After collecting all these pieces…’

Kim Jin-seong, who shrunk the tent and gathered the stone pieces together, extended one hand towards his front and gave a command in his mind.
‘Creation of subspace.’
Then, a dimensional crack appeared in front of my eyes, creating a space where just one person could pass through.
Inside, Jinseong Kim walked along with the pieces of stone he had collected.
‘···It is a space of complete darkness itself.’
Kim Jin-seong thought this as he looked back at the pitch-black sub-space.
It was a space where the overall color and atmosphere felt exactly like the Magi used by Kim Jin-seong.
Kim Jin-seong thought as he put down the collected stone pieces in the center of the space.
‘The petrification skill will be released soon.’
Sure enough, the stone pieces began to slowly turn into green slime.
Soon, the slime that was completely released from its petrified state began to move to stick together like it always did.
Kim Jin-seong was not the one to leave that behind.
Grumble!
A huge flame of fire covered the green slime that was about to clump together.
The mucus burned or evaporated at a rapid rate and soon completely disappeared from Kim Jin-seong’s sight.
and···.
▶ You have defeated the monster.
▶ Obtained 350 Vis Creama points.
▶ Acquired ‘Final Evolution Slime’, a comprehensive characteristic of the opposing monster.
▷ Final Evolution Slime: Obtains the following characteristics and permanent storage skills.
– Super regenerative ability: All body parts except the brain and heart gain rapid regenerative ability.
– Poisonous Body: Mana can be converted to poisonous properties.
– Hydrophilicity: When underwater, movement speed increases by 100% and HP recovery speed doubles.
– All stats are permanently increased by 75.
The notification window he had been waiting for finally appeared in front of Kim Jin-seong’s eyes.
“ha···. “It was a success.”
Jinseong Kim sighed with a tired expression.
Although his life was not in danger like when dealing with Porgynay, this guy was one step ahead of Porgynay in terms of pickiness.
‘As expected, water was the problem. If it weren’t for the water, I would have caught it much faster.’
I could tell just by looking at the ‘hydrophilic’ characteristic that appeared in the notification window. And I also thought I could understand why Quagmire exists only in a sewer environment covered with waterways.
‘Anyway, the regenerative ability I gained this time…’
Kim Jin-seong’s gaze turned to the description of the ‘super regenerative ability’ characteristic.
It is said that Quagmire has gained this ridiculous regenerative ability, but is this really true?
Or, in the first place, is it possible to utilize such ridiculous characteristics in the human body?
Jinseong Kim became curious.
He pulled out his sword and lightly cut the tip of his little finger.
Even though only a few drops of blood had fallen, he could see the person recovering in an instant.
‘Then this time…’
Jinseong Kim this time amputated his entire little finger.
As soon as it is cut, it begins to grow again at an incredible speed.
‘···This is truly amazing.’
Kim Jin-seong was impressed as he bent and straightened his little finger, which was now healthy again.
Even though it has just been played, there is no problem with the movement.
This was a different ability from the recovery skill he possessed. Recovery skills simply restore HP and do not regenerate the severed part.
‘I feel like I’m becoming more and more of a monster.’
Kim Jin-seong once again felt that his recovery ability was a fraud.
The speed of HP and MP recovery has also increased due to the HP recovery skill, blood absorption, and the ‘soil absorption’ trait obtained from defeating Forginae, and now even severed parts are regenerated.
If this happens, it has reached a point where even if you want to die, you cannot.
‘Of course, you always have to be careful. You must never let down your guard until the Colosseum is over.’
Kim Jin-seong has regained his composure.
‘In that sense, I would like to use this opportunity to save up a lot of Vis Creama points…’
Kim Jin-seong suddenly became worried.
There are still at least 7 Quagmire in the sewer.
I absolutely did not want to waste this precious opportunity to earn a whopping 350 points per animal.
the problem is···.
‘Subspace can only be used once per hour.’
If you want to catch Quagmire like you just did, you have to wait another hour. And that was the time when the taggers were frantically searching the entire island to catch them.
The time left for Kim Jin-seong now is only about 40 minutes, when the tagger cannot move yet.
So how do we kill the remaining Quagmire?
‘To get rid of Quagmire, you have to get it out of the sewer… Oh yeah!’
Kim Jin-seong, who had a good idea, immediately opened the subspace door and went out.
Afterwards, he transformed back into a ‘dark hound’ and started going back the same way he had been running.
At the same time, a skill was used.
▶ I used my skill ‘Mana Hawk’.
The black mana falcon created on Jinseong Kim’s palms quickly began to fly in the opposite direction to him.
That bird will fly straight towards the entrance with the stairs.
‘After luring in just one more…’
Due to the ‘Location Tracking’ and ‘Sixth Sense of Animals’ characteristics, the presence of Quagmire can be sensed even from very distant locations.
After a while, Kim Jin-seong, who confirmed that Quagmire was at the end of the passage around the corner, made a small magic arrow and fired it in the direction where Quagmire was.
The arrow disappeared halfway down the passage, but that alone was enough to attract Quagmire’s attention.
Quagmire swims towards Jinseong Kim at great speed through the waterway.
That was when it arrived right in front of Kim Jin-seong.
Suddenly, numerous black stem-like things shot up from the ground and wrapped around Quagmire’s entire body.
Quagmire, whose entire body was immediately trapped, changed its shape and quickly escaped outside the black vines.
But it was already too late.
▶ I used my skill ‘Teleport’.
The magic vines he had already created gave him enough time to cast the teleportation skill.
Soon, Jinseong Kim and Quagmire teleported from the sewer to another place.
A dark passage in an environment filled with monster rats and bats.
It was on the third basement floor.
“Good, we moved safely.”
Kim Jin-seong’s eyes turned to the Mana Hawk hovering above the ceiling.
Through the mana hawk I fired earlier, I had already found an area where I could safely teleport.
“Welcome out of the water, bouncy ball monster.”
While muttering to himself, Kim Jin-seong flew the huge demonic energy sphere he had created in advance towards Quagmire.
Pow!
The green mucous membrane that had been Quagmire’s body was scattered in all directions, along with swarms of monster rats and pieces of the corpses of vampire bats nearby.
at the same time,
Grumble!
The flames that covered the entire cave began to burn the corpse pieces of all the monsters.
Soon a notification window appeared in front of me.
▶ You have defeated the monster.
▶ Obtained 350 Vis Creama points.
▶ You have defeated the monster.
▶ Obtained 1 Viscrima.
▶ Acquired the opponent’s characteristic ‘Digging a hole with front teeth’.
▷ Dig a hole with your front teeth: You can dig a hole in the wall faster when you use your front teeth.
▶ You have defeated the monster.
▶ Obtained 20 Viscrima.
▶ Acquired the opponent’s characteristic ‘Blood is Delicious’.
▷ Blood is delicious: When you drink blood, you feel full faster and your HP increases.
▶ Obtained 1 Viscrima.
▶ Obtained 1 Viscrima.
▶ Obtained 1 Vis Crimea…
‘good. Just kill them one by one like this.’
Jinseong Kim thought to himself and cleared away the long notification window that covered his eyes.
‘Let’s kill just eight more before the taggers come out.’
Jinseong Kim moved toward the stairs again.
This is because in order to meet the conditions to use ‘Animal Transformation’, you had to kill at least ten animals.
