Chapter 14
Episode 14. Streets of Murder (1)
[2-1 Orb Search: Collect 3 orbs. – Pass]
[Acquisition: King Snake Hunt, Monster Hunt Orb Collector (3) Orb Collector (5) Orb Collector (7) Clear Orb Search.]
Huung.
The power rising from his achievements wrapped around the sun’s body.
The power of the orb was drained and the power rather decreased, but the sun felt full.
[You have achieved 15 achievements. The sense of mana perception is corrected.]
This is because a new sense has been opened.
Huung.
The sun looked down at his hand.
There was a blue aura in it.
“This is mana.”
The energy that flowed through the body of the sun when using skill shoes, the electromagnetic energy of ‘Transcendence Advancement’ and the cluster of stars effect of ‘Starburst High Kick’ were also phenomena caused by fluctuations in mana.
In the meantime, through skillization, Taeyang has been using mana indirectly without even recognizing whether it was mana or not.
mana or magical power.
An unscientific ability commonly used in creative worlds such as fantasy martial arts.
It is a matter of course, but unlike other dimensions that are the background of Dantalian, Earth did not have mana magic.
However, Mana existed in Dantalian, the dimensional labyrinth.
That’s why Dantalian provided convenience to users.
Collecting 15 achievements awakens the ‘sense’ for mana.
Thanks to this, users were able to operate mana magic like other players.
‘But this isn’t really a convenience.’
It was because he was on the same level as the NPCs who knew how to handle mana.
By analogy, the situation is like that of an emancipated black man who belatedly entered America’s early capitalist society.
At the time of liberation, blacks lived as slaves and had to jump into capitalist society without having accumulated a penny of capital.
The whites had already laid a sufficient foundation by substituting capital for labor.
in conclusion?
By modern standards, the upper class in America is white and the poor are black.
Well there are some exceptions though.
The user’s situation was similar.
The more achievements you collect, the higher your stats are, but players who are inexperienced in using magic have no choice but to have lower combat power than other NPCs.
-That means it’s a fucking difficulty.
-Really.
-That sense seems to be the essence of the real Dantalian technology.
– Feeling tailed? Feeling winged? So, I was really excited.
-? You guys filled 15 achievements?
-There are a lot of deceased people here.
-Ah hahaha Dantalian addicts, let’s all be vicariously satisfied here haha.
– A withdrawal phenomenon is coming. Seed… … red… … .
The current pace of Taeyang could be seen as the best among users.
However, the dimensional labyrinth is wide and familiar with magic, and due to the setting, strong NPCs were overflowing even before entering the labyrinth.
The NPCs currently playing at the top level of the labyrinth were likely to be similar to or higher than the pace of the sun.
“Still, I opened the mana sense on the 4th floor. This is definitely meaningful, right?”
– That’s right.
The faster you get it, the faster you adapt.
In addition, since Taeyang knew how to use skill shoes, an environment was prepared in which it was easy to get a feel for mana management.
‘Let’s adapt as quickly as possible. And what to do first.’
Taeyang, who had saved his energy, took the rest of the by-products.
In this stage, the rewards Taeyang received were more than 7 achievements.
A piece of rag over a cloth garment.
It is the fault of Aksharon.
and.
“This is the real thing.”
Taeyang pulled out a card.
[Regeneration Power (R): Agility +2 Vampirism +1]
[Skill – Regeneration Power: Acquire the regeneration power of the giant serpent Aksharon for 3 seconds. (Cooldown 1200 seconds)]
A reward from catching the giant serpent, Aksharon.
card. It is also a skill card.
– This is crazy in so many ways.
Effect of Skill Gains the regenerative power of the giant serpent, Aksharon, for 3 seconds.
It is to obtain the regenerative power of Aksharon, which regenerates even the wounds that were clearly visible in an instant.
“The cooldown is 20 minutes, but isn’t this almost like an extra life?”
In addition, the attached options are also compliant.
Tenacity +2 Vampirism +1.
First of all, it was a huge boon from the fact that two stats were driven into the toughness.
It was a synergy that corrected physical strength and physical defense in two units.
In other words, you can see the synergy effect just by equipping the power of regeneration skill card.
There is also a vampire synergy that restores physical strength in proportion to the damage dealt.
-Survival Synergy is the final level.
– ㄹㅇ As a beginner starter pack, it is Tier 1.
– But it’s a bit disappointing. With Taeyang Yoon’s physicality, synergy that would directly help in battle would have been better than anything like this.
-For Yoon Taeyang, this is much better. It’s a game he’s risking his life on.
-That’s right too.
The sun has the power of regeneration installed in the slot.

– Card slots are full.
-Two of those are also rare.
– It really came.
– I also want to try a game like this.
-Really. It tastes like Dantalian.
At the same time, the system window appeared.
[Slot 4 has been unlocked.]
The fourth card slot has been unlocked.
The condition to unlock the fourth card slot is to fill all three card slots.
In fact, it was tantamount to giving it away.
‘The important thing is the rest of the card slots.’
The 5th card slot was opened by matching 4 synergies, and the 6th and 7th card slots had to be opened in a special way.
‘Well, first of all, it’s a long story.’
The repaired sun passed over Andromalius.
shhhh.
Gate of Fortifying Healing Gold Coins.
kugung.
-Are you going to go to the gold coin again?
– I’m injured, but I have to go to healing.
-ㅇㅇ This time it is healing.
– ㅇㅇㅇㅇ.
The sun entered through the door of healing.
***
Player Yurik walked quickly through the streets at dawn.
Yurik looks around like a hyena while walking almost like a run.
Various landscapes passed by his vision.
Brick-baked apartments.
A well-maintained road fountain. built wagon.
It was like a street in middle and modern Europe.
Amidst the old-fashioned streets, Yurik read the license plate of the building nervously.
10-1A.
The next building is 10-2A.
“I said the other exit was Block 14-3C.”
The location of the exit has changed over time.
It’s not very reliable because it’s the words of a guy who graduated from stage a week ago, but that was Yurik’s last rope.
This is Block 10-1A.
The destination is Block 14-3C.
It’s been a while.
Wasn’t it far?
Yurik shook his head roughly.
After walking for a long time, I lost all sense of direction and distance.
At that time, the ground on which Yurik was standing overturned with a pole of bricks and grabbed Yurik’s ankle.
“shit!”
coogu palace.
The relentless grip of the desert.
“Where are you going, friend?”
A bald man with thick tattoos from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.
The reason Yurik is doing this right now is because of him.
He was a shaman who manipulated the earth freely.
Yurik gritted his teeth as he saw the red light floating above the shaman’s head.
red light.
It means that you are a player aiming for yourself as a target.
Street of Murder on the 5th floor stage.
The player must kill three other players.
Players had blue and red lights floating above their heads at regular intervals.
The outline of this stage was to run away when a blue light appeared above your head and catch and kill the blue player when a red light appeared.
A look of resentment came over Yuri’s face.
“You killed all three. shit! Why, at the very end!”
Urik killed all three players.
Now all you have to do is find a way out and escape, but the last player aiming for him was that damn shaman.
Kwade deude deuk.
Jivan grabbed Yurik’s ankle tightly as if he would never let go.
“Ugh.”
Urik quickly made a hand sign.
Trauma Wind.
It is mind disturbing magic.
There was little chance of getting it right.
Because it was a spell concluded in a hurry, the sophistication of the mana array fell.
Still, that amount of time is enough to break the situation.
Yurik endured the pain in his ankle and completed the hand sign.
Huung.
A wind of bad memories struck the shaman.
The tattooed shaman stumbled.
Seruk.
“Now!”
The sand holding his ankle was also crumbled, and Yurik quickly jumped out.
It may sound like something is wrong with a sprained ankle, but the health of an ankle cannot take precedence over life.
“The 14-3C block… … . Ay fuck!”
I’m about to die looking for a way out now.
Urik entered a nearby building.
It might have been an area that someone had already made into a territory, but it wasn’t as scary as that son of a shaman.
“Please don’t. please!”
Quaang!
As if the sky had answered Yurik’s prayer, there was no one in the building.
Urik quickly searched the building.
“Recovery item. bandage. portion. Anything please!”
My ankle was half broken from being caught in the damn shaman’s dirt.
As the excitement subsided a little, I started to feel the pain.
I didn’t know it when I was running around, but since I recognized the pain, I needed some kind of coping.
Urik led his trembling body and searched the inside of the building.
Characteristics of the Streets of Murder stage.
In the building, supplies to assist players in battle were randomly scattered.
A potion that heals wounds rapidly. From recovery items such as bandages that alleviate wounds when wrapped, to equipment such as shields and swords.
Of course, there are buildings with nothing on them, and if you are very lucky, you can pick up an artifact.
Players had to use these supplies efficiently to survive and kill each other.
“there is!”
Unfortunately, it’s not a potion, it’s a bandage.
But lately, even bandages are good enough.
Yurik tightly wrapped the bandage with a trembling hand.
So that the muscles and bones are in place.
At the same time, he also memorized orders by mouth.
Acetom’s touch.
A simple healing spell.
There was little to no status improvement effect, but it was still better than nothing at all.
At that time, the wall of the building Yurik entered exploded.
“You were here? prey.”
“Damn the bald bastard!”
was a sorcerer
Although Yurik quickly jumped up to the second floor.
“How dare you ignore the bald head?”
The stairs on the other side were already clogged with dirt.
The bald tattoo shaman muttered with a ferocious face.
“I can tolerate ignoring me, but ignoring my bald head is unforgivable!”
Bullfight!
Yurik desperately looked around.
A small window appeared in his eyes.
Urik threw himself through the window.
Clink!
Yurik, who rolled on the floor, entered the building on the other side without even thinking about looking around.
block. location.
Those thoughts were no longer in my mind.
rattle!
At that time, a large light broke out inside the building Yurik had entered.
[A new player has entered the stage.]
[Street of Murder – Remaining players: 36]
Suddenly!
At the same time, the shaman also entered the building.
“You have to run away to hear the earth resonate like this. Fuck you, son of a bitch.”
The mud spear was shot.
Fighting!
From the shaman’s point of view, of course, if there was a doll, he assumed it was Yurik and shot it.
But as a result, the earthen spear was pointed at the sun.
[2-2 Murder Street: Kill 3 target players and escape.]
“What is this?”
Taeyang, who had just entered the stage, flipped through the system window without reading it properly and raised his foot.
Star Bust High Kick.
Huung.
Stardust gathered near the feet of the sun.
‘Different from usual. I feel it.’
The flow of mana wrapped around her feet was clear.
The sun instinctively grabbed the mana that was about to scatter.
Simple and crude operation method.
However, there was a big difference between not interfering with mana at all and doing a little.
Aaaaaang!
The first floor of the apartment was destroyed.
“no… … . what is this?”
How different is the destructive power?
-and. Seed. It’s a surprise.
-I heard that after gaining a sense of mana recognition, skillization skills are greatly strengthened. It’s crazy;
-No, but is it true that the knife comes in as soon as you enter the stage?
-It’s a spear, not a sword.
-Wls.
Huung.
The dust rose and soon settled.
A system window floated in front of the sun.
[A red light falls on player Taeyang Yoon.]
[0/3 player killed]
