“Hyeonu? What is going on?”

Reina rushed up to Hyeonu as the vengeful spirits started to take shape one by one. In order to wait for Hyeonu first, Reina logged in earlier than the agreed upon time. She saw that the surroundings were full of traces of fighting and realized that Hyeonu had already logged in. She immediately followed the trail of battle and arrived here.

“You came early? As you can see, it is full of monsters. I think there are around 1,000.”

To be exact, it was 999. Yet considering the boss monster, Hyeonu’s words about there being 1,000 weren’t wrong.

“Aren’t you too easygoing? Won’t you be tired if you have to kill 1,000?”

Reina’s eyes narrowed. Hyeonu was strong, but killing 1,000 monsters was not easy. He shouldn’t be joking around so leisurely.

“If Reina kills a few, Tang-E kills a few, Gom-E kills a few, and I kill a few, we will be able to kill them quickly. Don’t worry too much,” Hyeonu continued to speak positively. It seemed like the monsters in front of him were really nothing.

“Believe in me. I have some strength when mole hunting.”

Then Hyeonu summoned the magic spirit.

“Gom-E has come!”

Gom-E, the magic spirit, also appeared by flipping through the air in a splendid manner.

“Brother, have you been well?”

The moment Gom-E landed on the ground, he walked in front of Tang-E and bowed his head.

"Yes, how have you been?”

Tang-E naturally received Gom-E’s greeting.

“Yes, I’ve been well.”

The golden bear and purple bear started to have a conversation between themselves.

“Uh...”

It was so absurd that Reina was speechless. The atmosphere was so peaceful that it was hard to believe they were about to fight a dangerous battle.

“These guys are helpful just by existing, so don’t worry too much, Reina. They are cheerleaders.”

Hyeonu’s words weren’t wrong. The effects of Dancing with a Bear and Magic Spirit Creation meant his stats had increased tremendously. So in a way, he was right.

“Is that so?”

However, Reina didn’t know the details and nodded without understanding.

“Tang-E, buff me. Then take care of anything that gets through to the back.”

Hyeonu took a step toward the vengeful spirits.

“I understand. I’ll take care of the rear. Believe in me, Master dude. Now I have my younger brother.”

Tang-E stroked Gom-E’s head. It wasn’t a very trustworthy appearance, but Hyeonu smiled and nodded.

‘No monsters will reach the rear anyway.’

Hyeonu was certain that there wouldn’t be a single monster to reach Tang-E.

‘I can’t miss the opportunity to raise my skill proficiency.’

He had wasted so much time that he should gain at least this much. Hyeonu was going to fill it up with his level and skill proficiency.

‘There are quite a few skills that will increase their ranking if I use them a bit more.’

Many of his skills were about to rank up. In particular, the newly acquired Guardian’s Breath had already reached the E ranking.

‘I’m glad the skill tree is structured efficiently.’

Hyeonu had a lot of skills for a melee class. It was just that most of them were continuous skills. Even they were evenly increased by using magic power-related skills or fighting. He didn’t have to worry about growing his skills.

‘I don’t need any item skills.’

Hyeonu neatly pulled out the Mysterious Sky Sword hanging from his waist. A clear sound echoed through the grave. Hyeonu raised as much magic power as possible and gave it to the Mysterious Sky Sword. It was to the extent that he scratched the bottom of his reserves.

The Mysterious Sky Sword started to turn purple. The moment that the blade of the Mysterious Sky Sword was colored so dark that it couldn’t be seen, Hyeonu kicked off from the ground and jumped high into the air. Hyeonu’s right hand holding the Mysterious Sky Sword moved so quickly that it couldn’t be seen.

Hundreds of pure energies were created accordingly. It was Mysterious Sky Range. Hundreds of purple pure energies bombarded the vengeful spirits. The ground was turned upside down and shook. The bodies of the vengeful spirits were already disappearing.

Mysterious Sky Range—the blow killed 178 vengeful spirits. Hyeonu’s attack didn’t end there. It was just the beginning. Hyeonu held the handle of the Mysterious Sky Sword in reverse. Then he struck the air again. At this moment, a huge purple sword appeared in the air far from Hyeonu.

Summon a Giant Sword! It was the attack with the widest range among Hyeonu’s skills. The purple sword measuring over 200 meters was inserted into the ground. All the vengeful spirits in between disappeared without a trace.

[Liberated the captured vengeful spirit 385/999.]

[Liberated the captured vengeful spirit 580/999.]

At a glance, the number had decreased by more than half. It was with only two attacks. Reina saw it and was astonished. It was a ridiculous sight.

‘Is this possible? Is he really a player like us?’

No matter how she tried to move on, she couldn’t understand it. Did this make sense right now? Reina was confident that she could kill dozens at once. The problem was after that. She would have no magic power. She couldn’t handle the aftermath of simply swinging the sword.

‘How much is his magic power?’

Meanwhile, Hyeonu wasn’t like that. He poured out magic power like magic power was constantly springing out. It was Reina’s mistake because she didn’t know the effect of the gauntlets worn by Hyeonu. Hyeonu continued his attacks as Reina was feeling alarmed. Magic power was replenished even if he used it like it was water. There was no need to hold back.

‘This time is Crescent Moon Cut.’

Hyeonu used each attack skill once like he was checking his skills. A giant crescent moon swept through the vengeful spirits. This caused nearly a hundred vengeful spirits to disappear. Since then, he used previously used skills like Mysterious Sky Range, Mysterious Sky Demonic Strength, and Crescent Moon Cut at the same time.

As a result, there were no more vengeful spirits in front of Hyeonu. All that remained was a short message.

[Liberated the captured vengeful spirit 999/999.]

It wasn’t only after seeing the message that Hyeonu came down from the air and stood next to Reina.

“You didn’t support me. You are eating food again!”

Hyeonu squeezed the heads of the two bears who were eating vigorously. He didn’t forget to put magic power around his hands when squeezing the bears.

“I didn’t expect sincerity, but at the very least, you should’ve acted out the sincerity.”

Hyeonu kept flicking his head, so Tang-E frowned and started to make excuses.

“No, I’m not like that. My younger brother said he wanted to eat.”

However, this didn’t work against Hyeonu. Hyeonu held Tang-E in his arms and started to attack intensively.

“Why are you blaming someone else? Who told you to do this?”

Tang-E struggled to escape from Hyeonu’s arms, but Hyeonu didn’t give up easily.

“I asked for it. I asked Brother to give it to me.”

In the end, Gom-E couldn’t stand it and took the blame. He said that he was the one who wanted to eat meat.

“Really? It isn’t a lie? You really did it?” Hyeonu asked three times.

The purple magic power flowing from both eyes seemed to say that if the words were false, he wouldn’t easily let Gom-E go.

“Really. I did it.”

Gom-E closed his eyes tightly and nodded. He couldn’t watch his older brother being punished.

“Really? Then go and fight. You were playing around while I was fighting, so it is time for the two of you to fight.’

Hyeonu gestured with his chin toward the messed-up tomb. It was a completely different demonic creature from the previous vengeful spirits.

“How about it? Is it possible? Tell me if you’re scared. Then I will go and fight. Instead, you will have to kneel down and hold my legs.”

Hyeonu put Tang-E down on the ground. Once out of Hyeonu’s arms, Tang-E breathed onto his paws and rubbed the top of his head with it.

“Damn Master dude. You are so stingy about me eating a bit of meat. Spit. I will go and fight. Fight dirty. Let’s go, little brother. Go with me.”

Tang-E tapped Gom-E’s shoulder lightly. Every time Tang-E took a step, his appearance grew slightly.

1 meter.

2 meters.

3 meters.

His body continued to grow. Tang-E stopped when his body was around 7 meters long.

“I’m going as well.”

The magic spirit quickly followed after Tang-E. The magic spirit stepped foot on the ground and grew larger in an instant. The magic spirit increased his size until his body was similar to Tang-E’s.

“Is this okay?” Reina quietly asked Hyeonu. It was because Hyeonu’s reaction was very excessive.

“Was I acting too mean?”

At Hyeonu’s question, Reina struggled for a moment before opening her mouth, “A little bit?”

Hyeonu sighed lightly and started to talk, “I feel like they still aren’t that close. By doing this, they will start thinking unknowingly. Tang-E will think, ‘He isn’t my younger brother, but I really need to take care of him as a brother.’ Gom-E will think reciprocally.”

Hyeonu set himself up as a common enemy. It was to help Tang-E and Gom-E develop a faster and deeper bond.

“By the way, can the two of them kill it?”

Reina turned her head and looked at the place where Tang-E and Gom-E were fighting the boss monster with a worried expression.

“Don’t worry about them. Neither of them are weak kids. Additionally, I can help if they are in danger.”

Hyeonu also turned his head to look at where Tang-E and Gom-E were fighting a fierce battle. The huge golden bear and purple bear were fighting hard against a giant slightly bigger than the two of them. The cooperation between the two bears was very good. To be precise, Gom-E perfectly adjusted to Tang-E’s pace. He used Hyeonu’s movements, the Mysterious Sky Steps, and completely covered Tang-E’s gaps.

Little by little, the two bears were about to win. Then the wrinkles on the giant’s forehead started to move.

“Reina, close your eyes straight away!” Hyeonu shouted when he saw it.

“Close my eyes?”

“Hurry.”

Reina was puzzled by Hyeonu’s sudden words, but she closed her eyes as told.

“Tang-E, close your eyes and scream!!!!” Hyeonu shouted loudly as he flew toward the battle scene.

What he thought were wrinkles on the giant’s forehead started to show their original form. An eye appeared from the open wrinkles. An ominous purple eye was visible. The purple eye was fueled by great magic power and soon started to shine!
