Chapter 132: Diary of a Wanderer (5)
Special Ability damage.
Watching Lee Seonho, who had been thrown into the Jungnangcheon, trying to get up, Yeongwoo wondered what exactly ability damage was.
It was because Lee Seonho’s armor was shattered like candy smashed on the ground.
Crackle.
With every step the guy took, fragments of his armor poured down to the ground, leaving Yeongwoo bewildered.
‘If I were exposed to special ability damage… could I end up like that?’
The basis of this question was none other than the resistance options related to equipment.
| Flame resistance: 10%
| Ability resistance: 10%
As can be seen from the resistance status attached to the bottom of the stat screen, in addition to elemental categories like flame and cold, there was also “Ability” resistance that could be acquired through equipment.
In other words.
‘It means that someday there might be enemies who use ability attacks.’
On the fourth day, a wyvern that launched “flame” attacks appeared for the first time.
If you didn’t have separate resistance values, tough opponents were already starting to appear.
「Let’s fight with swords, fair and square.」
While Yeongwoo pondered on “ability damage”, Lee Seonho, who crawled out of the Jungnangcheon, looked up at Yeongwoo and reached out with his sword.
Swish!
However, even the blade he extended was not intact.
Perhaps due to the earlier ability explosion, there were cracks on the blade as well.
“……”
Seeing this, Yeongwoo silently jumped down from Negwig.
Thud!
While gesturing towards Lee Seonho.
“Come up here. I’ll fight you with a sword as you wish.”
In response, the opponent, who didn’t know how to respond to the bold challenge… no, the plea, opened his mouth wide.
「What…?」
Then, shortly after.
「Ah, of course. Right away.」
Regaining a wicked smile, Lee Seonho sprang up towards Yeongwoo with a determined look.
Thwack!
He thought that he had gained the upper hand with that bastard Strongest Sword.
But Yeongwoo was serious.
‘If I hit that sword strongly, will it break?’
The reason Yeongwoo reluctantly accepted Lee Seonho’s request was one.
To see what would happen if he inflicted non-ability damage on that seemingly vulnerable weapon.
Would the sword break?
Or would its power decrease?
The idea of conducting a test battle against a mutant was not normal from the start, but after all, wasn’t Yeongwoo’s close combat ability one of the best in Seoul?
So there was no burden.
Of course, Lee Seonho didn’t think that way.
― Hehe, a bowman brat probably won’t handle a sword well. You’re done for now.
Lee Seonho was also a person who enjoyed games as a hobby before the reset.
So he was well aware that the ‘Death Knight’ monster was generally a master of swords.
― If only I could swing a sword.
Crash!
Soon enough, Lee Seonho found himself back on the ground in Gwangjin-gu.
Upon this, Yeongwoo, with a bow slung across his upper body, threw an iron armor cutter at the Golden Goblin and received an underdog.
Thunk!
「Armor Cutter」 – Mutation Spear
【Ignore 50% physical damage reduction rate.】
「Underdog」 – Mutated one-handed sword
【Increases power by 25% against targets larger than the user.】
Lee Seonho, manifesting as a Death Knight, was taller than Yeongwoo.
Lee Seonho’s height was 2.5 meters, while Yeongwoo’s was about 2 meters.
‘And above all, the cutter is not a sword but a spear…’
It was useless stubbornness, but anyway, Yeongwoo felt comfortable doing it this way.
On the other hand.
「You lunatic.」
Lee Seonho couldn’t hide his smirk as he watched the opponent exclude the spear.
He couldn’t understand or didn’t want to understand the behavior because he was not in a mood for it.
「You bastard, do I look like a pushover to you? Is that it?」
Feeling a slight unease at Lee Seonho’s menacing words, Yeongwoo recalled a similar remark when he first heard about Early Birds, directed towards those surrounding him.
But strictly speaking, the situation was not the same as back then.
“I don’t know who Mr. Seonho is. So I don’t see him as a pushover, just as I said before, I just held up the sword.”
After saying this, Yeongwoo gripped the underdog.
Clang.
“And among the swords I have, this one suits Mr. Seonho best.”
Whether it was Yeongwoo, who used to fight with flying kicks against Cha Dooseong fighting under boxing rules, or not, he was doing his best in his own way now.
「What are you saying, you idiot.」
But for Lee Seonho, it was just an unpleasant event no matter what.
After all, wasn’t it the remaining humans on this land who had turned him into a monster in the first place?
So after waiting for a long time, he came back to judge them.
– How dare you treat me like a pushover?
Cha, who had been chasing after nothing but the tail of a steel horse all along, without properly swinging a sword even once.
So even choosing a weapon that suited his opponent was a tremendous insult to him.
In the meantime, his self-esteem had unknowingly crumbled.
「These inferior bastards!」
Finally, one of Lee Seonho’s buried emotions burst out.
While doing so, Lee Seonho also rushed towards his opponent with a threatening sword.
Gyeongbuk’s Strongest Sword.
He was aiming towards the despicable man who came to assassinate him, representing the remaining people in this world.
「Dieeee!」
Lee Seonho screamed at the top of his lungs as he swung his sword, and at this moment, Yeongwoo was staring intently at the opponent’s movements, which seemed slow thanks to the ‘Golden Oath’.
「Golden Oath」- Legendary Breastplate
【Reduces enemy attack power by 50%.】
The legend martial art ‘Rohm’s Bottom’ was pulling his body to the right side, likely a preemptive move for the close-quarters combat to pierce the opponent’s guard as he had been doing so far.
However, instead of pulling away, Yeongwoo swung the underdog directly, intercepting Lee Seonho’s attack.
This was not just defense or counterattack, but a full-on ‘initiative’ attack aimed at the purple-cracked blade of Lee Seonho.
「Huh?」
Realizing the opponent’s fierce momentum, Lee Seonho instinctively gripped the sword handle with both hands and exerted more force, and at that moment, there was a crack.
A sound that must never come from the blue blade of Lee Seonho’s sword that was in contact with the underdog.
「This…!」
“Gasp.”
That was the sound of fracture.
As expected by Yeongwoo, when he applied force to the weakened weapon, it shattered.
‘What, I actually destroyed the opponent’s weapon?’
It was unclear whether this was a mutation-specific effect or if it was effective against other humans like Strongest Swords.
Anyway, one thing was clear.
‘I need to prepare for ability resistance. A big day is surely coming.’
From now on, it was also necessary to pick up ability resistance equipment one by one.
「Huh? Why is this happening?」
Meanwhile, as the weapon shattered in one strike, Lee Seonho, with only the handle remaining, looked at the broken sword in bewilderment.
Although he had anticipated many situations as he entered the ‘true battle’ with Jeong Yeongwoo, he had never thought that the weapon would break.
Then Yeongwoo fixed his grip on the underdog and said something chilling.
“Indeed, weapons can be destroyed. Anyway, it’s time to go back. I also need to finish my work.”
「What? Where…?」
As Lee Seonho asked this, he unconsciously glanced up at the sky.
Swoosh!
The blade of the underdog slashed through the air diagonally, vividly drawing the pattern of the Dogo’s wedge pattern.
And Lee Seonho.
「……!」
Unlike Kim Seokshin, who went to heaven first, he couldn’t even utter a single word and choked.
Then, with Lee Seonho’s skinny head spinning a few times in the air.
Thud!
It quietly landed on the asphalt floor of the Dongbu Expressway.
‘Ah, the urgent fire is extinguished for now.’
After confirming the white beam rising from Lee Seonho’s corpse, Yeongwoo raised the ‘Golden Journey’.
Swish!
‘Golden Journey’
Swish!
[Golden Journey]
|Please summon the Golden Rain in the next area.
|Domestic (2/3) |Foreign (0/2)
There are 1 domestic and 2 foreign Golden Rains left until the Golden Journey achievement is reached.
And according to Yeongwoo’s plan, the foreign Golden Rains could now be resolved by dealing with the mutants in the ownerless Kaesong and Hwanghae..
‘Of course, we should move north without delay.’
While Yeongwoo was thinking this, Lee Seonho’s corpse melted into the air, and a golden sphere appeared in its place.
Click.
As Yeongwoo instinctively reached out to touch the sphere, he hesitated for a moment and stepped back.
“Ah, there’s no point in scattering the Golden Rain here other than breaking the record.”
Yeongwoo said this while looking towards the south of Gwangjin-gu.
If no big thieves appeared there in the meantime, there would be another sphere left by Kim Seokshin.
In other words, Yeongwoo could activate two golden spheres right now.
However, both were still tied to Gwangjin-gu.
While it was natural to be able to scatter the Golden Rain, it meant that it was difficult to expect a large currency supply as there were no residents in Gwangjin-gu at the moment.
‘Then should I gather the people who used to live in Gwangjin-gu for a moment? No, there’s no time for that now.’
Current time, 1:14 PM.
As Yeongwoo glanced at his wristwatch, the Golden Goblin, who had been struggling to lift the iron armor cutter, suddenly dropped it to the ground.
Clang.
-Kit!
Then.
Tap tap tap.
Swiftly, the Golden Goblin approached the golden sphere.
Swish!
“Ugh…!”
In front of Yeongwoo’s eyes, the Golden Goblin lifted the golden sphere.
-Kiki!
The Golden Goblin boasted, lifting the sphere up to his head.
Upon this, Yeongwoo covered his mouth.
“Wait, you could carry it?
Then, the Goblin let out an excited voice as he ran towards Yeongwoo while holding the sphere.
-Kekeke!
