Chapter 218
The purple ogre brothers cocked their heads at the sudden appearance of the bear in front of them . They had definitely been playing with a little human . The human was very agile, but they could still deal blows at him properly . So where did the little human go to, and where did the big bear appear from? Nevertheless, it didn’t matter to the purple ogres . They were sure that this bear would be their toy .
“Kuaaah!” One of the purple ogres shot up from the ground with a loud cry .
It was an agile movement that didn’t match its large size . The purple ogre crossed through the air and landed in front of Tang-E with a heavy sound . Simultaneously, it slammed down its club at Tang-E’s head . The purple ogre’s wooden club missed and slammed into the ground . The land was damaged, and a small pit appeared in it .
‘I can’t get hit by such a crude attack . ’ Tang-E lightly dodged the purple ogre’s attack with tremendous speed .
The almost five-meter-tall mass showed movements that resembled the resilience of a rubber ball . With Giant Transformation, Tang-E had an agility value of over 4,000 . In addition, Breath of the Wind made his movement speed increase even more .
“Yap!”
The plump Tang-E quickly appeared in front of the purple ogre and made a fist covered with blue sparks . Tang-E’s fist shot out straight and precisely struck the purple ogre’s side .
“Kuah!” A scream of pain emerged from the purple ogre’s mouth .
The purple ogre wouldn’t have been hit like this if it were a simple fist . The secret was in the blue sparks surrounding Tang-E’s fist . The identity of the blue sparks was lightning combined with the corrupted attribute . That lightning pierced through the purple ogre’s skin .
‘Wow, it seems Tang-E has become a bit stronger?’ Hyeonu was amazed by the scene . He now truly felt that Tang-E was a treasure . Tang-E could deal damage, tank, give buffs, and use magic .
‘Eh? Isn’t he a complete scam?’
The purple ogres Hyeonu needed to deal with had been reduced from three to two, so he was calmer now . It was to the extent where he could even think of silly things . Hyeonu shook his head a few times and focused again on observing the purple ogre’s movements .
Mysterious Sky was activated, and his sharpened five senses helped with his observation . He was already becoming familiar with the purple ogre’s attacks . The evidence was that the decreasing distance that Hyeonu needed to move in order to avoid the trajectory of the club . His use of minimal movements bought him some time to strike back . Every time he swung the Mysterious Sky Sword, blades of pure energy filled the air .
It was Mysterious Sky Range . The blades of pure energy were quickly fired at the purple ogre .
“Kuooooh!”
[The Fear of the purple ogre, the naughty one of the Balder Mountains, has been heard . ]
[The influence of fighting energy allows you to ignore the Fear of the purple ogre . ]
The purple ogre saw all the pure energy flying toward it and waved its club violently . However, the purple ogre’s limitations were clear . There were dozens of blades of pure energy, but there was only one club in the purple ogre’s hand . The purple ogre couldn’t stop the 10 blades with one hand . The black pure energy devastated the entire body of the purple ogre .
However, Hyeonu’s expression wasn’t relaxed . He continued to maintain a straight expression .
[The purple ogre has received the abnormal condition ‘petrification’ . ]
[The purple ogre has received the abnormal condition ‘bleeding’ . ]
Hyeonu only received two messages about an abnormal condition despite sending out dozens of pure energy attacks . The probability of triggering an abnormal state was too low .
‘The abnormality status is random . ’
It was painful to change out Crasul’s Curse when it gave all stats +50, increased defense by 350, and had a chance of triggering an abnormal state . Indeed, it was a shame that the definitive CC had disappeared .
‘Don’t worry about it . It doesn’t work for players anyway . . . ’
If it wasn’t as effective, then he could just find something better . Hyeonu had to think positively or else he would feel too uncomfortable . His regret was really temporary . There was an opponent in front of him who made him feel something else—the purple ogres, a monster that reduced Crasul’s Curse to an item that increased stats . The paradox was that he could get better items from the Balder Mountains that were full of these monsters .
Pure energy was once again released from the Mysterious Sky Sword . It was different from Mysterious Sky Range and had a large and long form .
‘Crescent Moon Cut . ’
It was Hyeonu’s trademark, Crescent Moon Cut . A crescent moon that should be floating in the sky descended upon the earth . It abandoned the shimmering golden color and embraced a black color .
“Kuooooh!” The purple ogre roared loudly like it sensed a crisis from Hyeonu’s pure energy . The swinging club swelled with energy that was purple like the skin of the purple ogre . The ogre’s strike, containing a strength that would crush everything, struck Crescent Moon Cut which contained a force that seemed to cut the world .
An explosion occurred . Dust blew up like a large bomb had been detonated .
“Did it hit?” Hyeonu’s eyes narrowed . He seemed to be trying to see through the dust .
Then a huge shadow appeared above Hyeonu . It was the other purple ogre that Hyeonu hadn’t cared about . In the blink of an eye, the purple ogre waved its wooden club toward Hyeonu .
“Kuaaah!” It roared with joy like it had finally caught its prey .
Thump!
The dust that had settled rose again . There was the impact of something falling to the ground and causing the ground to shake . Then a young man walked out of it . It was a man with a long sword, Hyeonu .
‘I would’ve been logged out if I had changed my armor .
Just before the purple ogre’s attack hit, Hyeonu managed to pull himself out using Blink . Then he saw the other purple ogre that was bleeding all over and moved to it with Blink, eventually cutting off its breath .
[The purple ogre, the naughty one of the Balder Mountains, has been killed . ]
[Experience has been acquired . ]
There was another piece of good news for Hyeonu .
“Master dude!!”
After the battle with the purple ogre, Tang-E ran toward Hyeonu . Giant Transformation had ended, and Tang-E looked as cute as usual .
“Hey, our Tang-E has become really strong!” Hyeonu said with admiration .
Yet Tang-E’s expression crumpled in response . “Now isn’t the time for this . Praise and admire me after killing that monster, Master dude . ”
Master dude was clearly crazy . How could he praise Tang-E when there was still a monster in front of them? It was true that Tang-E was excellent, but everything had a time and place .
‘Sometimes he is too lax . Sometimes he is too much . Damn Master dude . ’
Hyeonu stroked Tang-E’s head a few times like he knew Tang-E’s heart . “Use magic once or twice . I think I’ll kill it soon . ”
Then Hyeonu kicked against the ground and flew through the air . He seemed to rise endlessly before falling in a downward curve toward the purple ogre’s waist . The purple ogre didn’t miss this chance . It knew from experience that a wingless creature was defenseless in the air . This was the purple ogre’s fastest and strongest attack ever . No, it was a completely different level of attack . If Hyeonu moved without any thought and only remembered the previous attacks, then he would’ve been hit by the club and logged out .
However, this was part of Hyeonu’s plan . Hyeonu used Blink to move to a tree the moment the purple ogre’s club was about to hit him .
‘This is it . This is it . ’
He kicked off from the tree stump behind the purple ogre and flew toward the purple ogre’s back . His destination was the purple ogre’s shoulder . Once he was seated on the purple ogre’s shoulder, Hyeonu slammed the Mysterious Sky Sword into it . Then he injected his magic power into the Mysterious Sky Sword .
Due to Hyeonu’s immense magic power, the black pure energy started to grow endlessly . Soon after, the pure energy that penetrated the purple ogre’s huge muscles emerged from the ribs . It went without saying that blood spurted out like a fountain .
“Kuah!” The purple ogre screamed with pain . It has been a long time since it showed such ferocity . Even so, a wounded beast was still a beast . The purple ogre struggled with the pain and threw the club at Hyeonu who was hanging from its shoulder . Then it waved its fist .
It was still possible for it to attack even if one of its shoulders couldn’t be used . There was just a clear limitation to this method . Unlike the previous attacks, the loss of sharpness in this one provided Hyeonu with another means of attack .
Hyeonu jumped over the purple ogre’s huge fist and started to climb down its arm . Once he finally arrived at the purple ogre’s face, Hyeonu rapidly cut horizontally using the Mysterious Sky Sword . It wasn’t just a normal cut; it was a skill .
‘Crescent Moon Cut . ’
The giant pure energy burst in front of the purple ogre’s eyes and succeeded in breaking the hard skull .
[The purple ogre, the naughty one of the Balder Mountains, has been killed . ]
[Experience has been acquired . ]
“Uwah, that was hard . ”
The long battle was over .
***
Hyeonu sat down on the ground . Behind the mask, he had a rotten expression .
No, it was a dejected look .
‘No items were dropped? I fought so hard for nothing?’
“Uwahh!” A roar erupted from Hyeonu’s mouth that was similar to that of the purple ogres .
“Master dude, take this . ” Tang-E threw something at Hyeonu .
The item was an earring with a small metal piece attached to it . The one purple earring looked crude but felt intense .
“What is this?” Hyeonu looked up at Tang-E in front of him .
Tang-E couldn’t look at Hyeonu’s face and just stared at the earring on the ground .
“I picked it up . I got it from the purple guy I killed earlier, but since Master dude looks sad . . . I won’t give it to you next time,” Tang-E replied in an aloof manner .
‘Cute guy . ’ Hyeonu approached Tang-E and hugged him hard . “Thank you . I will use it well . ”
However, Tang-E looked like he was choking and beat at Hyeonu’s chest . He just wasn’t sincere because he didn’t show his usual strong power .
“So frustrating, stupid Master dude! Release me quickly!”
Hyeonu stood still for a long time and hugged Tang-E . After a while, Hyeonu sat back down on the ground and checked the information of the earring that Tang-E gave him .
“Item Information . ”
