Chapter 5
The Mission of the Other World (3)
Gaegaegang!
(Note: ‘Gaegaegang!’ (깨갱) is a sound made when hitting a dog . )
‘Did I miss?’
As he looked at the wild dog who still had its life, his eyes narrowed .
Despite the headshot, it still wasn’t dealt with .
Akan frowned as he glanced at his aching wrist .
‘No, my attack hit, but the wild dog’s skin was abnormally tough . ’
Its hard skull is still a skull, but its tough skin seems to have minimized the damage when hit .
If this was a normal situation, blood would’ve already bursted out from its head .
Kreuk .
The other wild dogs reacted sensitively to the bleeding and the sad cries of their wounded partner .
They had their flashing red eyes focused on Akan .
“Ah, Akan-nim, thank you . ”
Akan heard Changhyuk’s voice from behind .
Unlike his usual voice filled with disregard, his voice now was filled with awe .
“Hey, get ready . ”
“……Yes?”
“If you don’t want to die here, get ready to fight!”
Go Changhyuk opened his eyes to Akan’s changed demeanor .
The Akan that Changhyuk remembers wasn’t the kind of person who speaks in a disprespectful tone .
Especially to him .
In fact, Changhyuk disregarded Akan because of Akan’s submissive behavior .
Changhyuk wanted to question Akan about his sudden change, but it was Akan’s harsh cry that greeted him .
In his bloody momentum, Changhyuk nodded subconsciously .
“Ah, right . ”
Go Changhyuk picked up the wooden stick he found before .
Akan averted his gaze from Changhyuk then proceeded to bring a speech to the people of the restaurant .
“I understand that you’re all bewildered . However, you’ll all die if you keep going on like that . Save your questions for later, and for now, focus on survival . ”
At Akan’s speech, the people regained their composure .
Although they got confused about Akan’s change, they didn’t mind it that much and focused on one thing .
Survival .
They didn’t want to die here .
Their desire for life filled their eyes with determination .
They took all the things around them that could be used as weapons, and proceeded to look at the wild dogs with ferocious eyes .

‘Now they’ve got their minds up . ’
After seeing the people gain fighting spirit, Akan turned to look at the wild dogs .
Akam didn’t save Changhyuk because of emotions .
Immediately after the situation had arisen, Akan, unlike the others, was already looking for a solution on his own .
Akan is an entity who has already experienced traveling between dimensions .
He was able to quickly accept the new changes as he had already experienced things that couldn’t be explained with common sense .
‘My strength is 11 . According to the fairy, 10 is the average, that means I’m a bit above average . However, even a single wild dog’s strength is overwhelming, so I’ll have to cooperate with the people of the restaurant . ’
Akan saved Changhyuk because of his judgement for survival .
Go Changhyuk was the quickest judge amongst the people at the restaurant and had excellent physical abilities .
‘Go Changhyuk would prove helpful in the battle against wild dogs . ’
So he stepped out without hesitation at the appearance of a wild dog charging towards Changhyuk .
He then grabbed pebbles on the floor and shot the wild dog at its head .
He thought he killed the dog immediately because of the numb feeling that came up in his hand, but the wild dog was stronger than he thought .
Seeing the wild dog that didn’t die despite being shot at the head, Akan squeezed his hand holding the stone .
‘Although they only look like dogs, they’re still a life form from the other world . Their physical abilities are strong enough to be classified as low-level monsters . It’ll be impossible to kill them with attacks like before . I’ll need timing, I’ll have to gather all my power and attack them at their vital points in surprise . ’
He moved his fingers, making the sharp part of the stone face forward .
‘I can’t use attack magic . ’

If he uses magic, it’ll help him deal with the wild dogs .
However, the people’s gazes were the problem .
They’ll need to utilize everything to survive, but according to the fairy, they’ll eventually return to the real world .
Akan didn’t want to explain the usage of magic afterwards .
Its uniqueness’ll give them a terrible sense of difference .
He turned away from the several attack magic that came in his mind .
He’ll have to find other ways .
‘However, it’s foolish to give up my only advantage, magic . Ah, if I use blessing type magic that’s not revealed externally, then it’ll be helpful in close-quarters combat . ’
But even in that, there was a problem .
Blessing type magic is at least 2nd Circle .
With the amount of mana Akan currently has, he can only use it one time at most .
It wasn’t Akan’s style to use magic inefficently, but given the situation, there was no other choice .
‘In the 2nd Circle blessing type, there’s Strengthen and Haste . ’
Strengthen increases power, while Haste makes movements faster .
If you think about Akan’s stats, his strength being 11, while his agility being 10, it’s a common idea to amplify strength using Strengthen .
However, Akan thought differently .
‘The skin of the wild dog is not something that can be done in just by increasing my strength by a little . The better choice is to increase my agility to get a more accurate blow . ’

His head worked quickly .
His ability to judge momentary situations like these was definitely like that of a certain Macedonian archmage .
This is Akan’s true face . The Akan that worked in Korea as a part-timer for 10 years is just a surplus of who he was .
‘Haste . ’
Hwaahak!
The mana running around his mana core was brought to his circles .
As he rotated two circles, his Dantian started to dry up while his body began to energize .
In terms of numbers, his agility would’ve doubled from 10 to 20 .
After Akan’s finished using magic, the wild dogs began to charge at the people .
Kukukung!
Kreuk!
“Ahhh!”
“Block them!”
The people were frightened at the scene of many wild dogs rushing towards them at once .
They wanted to run away, but because Akan set their minds up, they held on to their weapons .
And before long, the wild dogs arrived at hand .
The people wielded their weapons as hard as they could .
