MTL - Solo Leveling (Only I Level Up)-Chapter 25

Cheng Jin-Woo swallowed nervously, carefully began to observe the ultimate boss called Kasaka.

It is covered with gleaming blue scales. There is no gap between those scales, like an indestructible armor.

Sword strikes are useless, let alone fists.

Just as Cheng Jin-Woo thought of this, Kasaka seemed to have finished analyzing his prey, and swooped over again.

Kasaka's speed is still astonishingly fast.

Swish Swish Swish!!

Cheng Jin-Woo narrowed his eyes.

'coming! '

With all his concentration, he could now clearly see Kasaka's line of attack.

This is all thanks to agility.

Just when Kasaka opened his mouth wide and tried to swallow him, Cheng Jin-Woo quickly dodged to avoid the attack. And tightly clamped the snake's head under his armpit, and then he increased his strength.

At this time, Cheng Jin-Woo's strength value was approaching fifty.

Cheng Jin-Woo tightly strangled the snake's aorta.

The strangled giant snake shook its body in pain.

Cheng Jin-Woo gritted his teeth and increased the strength of his arms again.

Bang!! Bang!!

Cheng Jin-Woo was thrown heavily on the wall and the ground by Kasaka, but he didn't reduce the intensity at all.

'If I hadn't done my best to upgrade...'

People always think about those ifs.

The same goes for Cheng Jin-Woo.

If he doesn't make it to level fifteen...

If his strength value is not so high...

There was no way he could have caught Kasaka so easily like this.

Maybe he will die under Kasaka's mouth.

It seems that he did not go directly from the second floor to the third floor is a clear choice.

Click!!

Accompanied by the cracking sound of bones, Kasaka's skull cracked open.

[You have successfully solved "The Ruler of the Swamp, the Cyan Fang Kasaka". 】

【Level up!】

【Level up!】

Worthy of being a BOSS.

After eliminating Kasaka, Cheng Jin-Woo went up two levels in a row.

Cheng Jin-Woo clenched his fists.

The stagnant fifteen suddenly became seventeen.

In just one day, his level soared from one to seventeen.

No one would hunt and kill the ultimate boss just for experience points.

The most important thing is the item dropped by the boss!

Cheng Jin-Woo looked at the snake's body, and found that there were two places that were shining.

'Because it's a BOSS, so there are two of them?'

Cheng Jin-Woo happily walked over.

jingle!

【Hint: You found Kasaka's fangs', do you want to pick it up?】

【Hint: You found Kasaka’s poison gland’, do you want to pick it up?】

"Pick them all up."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bone dagger and a small bag filled with liquid appeared in his hand.

[Item: Kasaka's Fang]

Difficulty of getting started: C level

Type: Dagger

Attack power: +25

A dagger made from Kasaka's fangs. The venom on the sword has the effect of paralyzing or bleeding the opponent when attacking. Can be put in a backpack or sold in the shop.

Effect "paralysis": Can make the attacked object unable to move to a certain extent.

The effect of "Blood Loss" causes the attacked target to consume 1% of its stamina per second.

Cheng Jin-Woo nodded.

"A short sword made of teeth. It's a good choice for a weapon."

Next up is the bag

[Item: Kasaka's Venom Gland]

Difficulty of getting started: Grade A

Type: Secret Medicine

The pocket contains the purified Kasaka's venom. The probability of obtaining this item is extremely low. After drinking the venom, you can get a firm skin, but it will cause permanent damage to the muscles.

The effect "Kasaka's Iron Scale" reduces physical damage by 20%.

Side Effect "Muscle Damage": Strength 35

Cheng Jin-Woo had mixed feelings.

Kasaka's fangs are a good choice as a weapon, just in place of his broken sword.

Not only doubling the attack power, but Cheng Jin-Woo is very satisfied with the "paralysis" and "blood loss" effects.

"But this venom gland is a bit..."

To be honest, Cheng Jin-Woo was quite happy to have an A-level rare item, but the explanation for this item did not make people so happy.

Although it can reduce physical damage by 20%, it will also reduce its own strength value at the same time.

And Cheng Jin-Woo was at the time when he was in urgent need of ability points. This item can be described as a double-edged sword.

To put it bluntly, it's just too tasteless.

Maybe someday, even if his strength value is reduced by thirty-five, it will not affect him. He may use this item, but now he won't even touch it.

"...Let's put him in the backpack first."

Cheng Jin-Woo put the dagger and poison glands into the backpack.

It would be better if A-level short swords and ℃-level secret medicines appeared, so that he could sell the secret medicines directly.

Just then, a new message popped up.

【The ultimate BosS has been eliminated, and the interior of the dungeon will be restored. 】

Suddenly there was darkness in front of my eyes, and after feeling a slight dizziness, everything returned to normal.

He looked around and saw that it was an ordinary subway station.

The overhead lights became brighter, and the black liquid that filled the tunnel disappeared.

"But why isn't there anyone?"

Not only is there no one, the subway is no longer running.

He guessed it was time for the subway to shut down.

He glanced at it, it was already ten o'clock.

Came in at noon and it looked like nine hours had passed.

'It's been a long time in there!'

If he hadn't been able to recover his stamina every time he leveled up, he would have fainted from exhaustion.

'But it shouldn't be time for the subway to shut down yet?'

Cheng Jin-Woo waited and waited, but he didn't wait for the subway, so he was about to leave Hapjeong Station.

When he went out, he didn't see anyone either.

As soon as he walked up the steps, someone stopped him.

"Wait a moment!"

Cheng Jin-Woo had never felt that a human voice was so kind.

Cheng Jin-Woo looked up and saw a hunter with a gun.

"Who are you? Why did you come out there? Didn't you hear the radio?"

The soldier's expression was very serious, making Cheng Jin-Woo nervous unknowingly.

"Is something wrong?"

"Heh, are you kidding me?"

The soldier walked towards Seong Jin-Woo and found the broken sword that Seong Jin-Woo was holding in his hand.

Since the sword was broken, he couldn't put it in the backpack anymore, and Cheng Jin-Woo didn't want to leave it in the dungeon, so he brought it out.

Seeing this, the soldier's eyes changed immediately.

He carefully looked at Cheng Jin-Woo.

Taking a closer look, Cheng Jin-Woo's clothes clearly showed traces of having participated in fierce battles.

The tense-faced soldier let out a sigh of relief.

"Are you a hunter?"

Chapter 16 One hit!

"Yes, I'm a hunter, but..."

"Ah, I'm so sorry. Please come over here and I'll take you there."

"Ah good."

If he explained that there was some misunderstanding, the matter would become more complicated, so Cheng Jin-Woo decided to follow him first.

Cheng Jin-Woo looked around.

'anyway......'

The surrounding atmosphere is somewhat unusual.

The whole street was empty.

You can only occasionally see soldiers and police coming and going.

Coupled with the scattered corpses of monsters, the wreckage of cars and broken walls.

Cheng Jin-Woo realized what happened here.

'It may be that a nearby portal has been opened. '

However, in places where the hunter system is relatively complete, this kind of thing hardly happens, but occasionally there are some portals that are ignored by people.

At this time, the nearby army will be dispatched to buy time for the hunters who have not yet arrived.

Soldiers certainly cannot compete with Warcraft. But in order to evacuate the nearby residents, someone must sacrifice. In other words, to be cannon fodder.

That is the responsibility of the young people of this country.
