Chapter 48 The Wild Forest (5)
Four people were running through the dark forest Despite running on uneven ground, they were ’
Cha Min-Woo thought as he watched Seo Jun-Ho’s back The latter was at the lead
‘It’s a dark forest, and the ground isn’t even flat Yet his form is stable’
That wasn’t all Seo Jun-Ho also chose easier paths that the other three could follow assessing the environment was an important skill for a Player, and he proved to be exceptional at it
Cha Min-Woo thought that he was like an onion
‘Every time I think I understand him, he shows me a new side…’
Suddenly, his Vita lit up with a notification Seo Jun-Ho stopped
“Is it an SOS?”
“Let me check” Cha Min-Woo’s eyes flickered as he checked the e He looked up at Seo Jun-Ho and nodded firmly “It’s an SOS It cao there first”
Seo Jun-Ho thought to himself as he looked for a path
‘We have to save as many Players as possible’
Of course, this wasn’t because he saw hi asthe Gate would be easier It was the conclusion he had arrived at after objectively weighing the factors
‘Currently, there are 1,000 dark elves in the Black Moss tribe’
Their nue for him to handle on his own
‘I’m still human after all’
He needed to sleep, rest, and eat like any other person He would need at least ten days to kill 1000 dark elves on his own
‘And that’s only if I can use my full power’
It only applied if he could use Watchguard of Darkness and Frost Of course, he couldn’t use those skills when he ith Cha Min-Woo’s party, like right now
‘So the best way to clear the gate with that handicap…’
Was to use the other Players that had entered the Gate with hih the forest at dawn
‘Tonight will be the turning point’
He thought that the dark elves’ night attack was a double-edged sword At least 10 elves were sent to attack each of the 52 parties
‘So if we kill them all…’
They would be able to cut the eneht If they could do that, the dark elves would no longer be able to use guerilla tactics like they did tonight They would be worried about the safety of their village, so they would be unable to use the sa!
The sound of weapons clashi+ng came from in front of the, but it was especially loud
“Jun-Ho-nio ahead!” When Seo Jun-Ho accelerated, he see the three people behind him, he took out a javelin from his inventory
“Ah! S-savehe saw as he entered the clearing was a Player pinned beneath a Woldog The dark elf on top of it raised its sword high
‘Good ti speed to propel his javelin and threw it
Woosh!+
It whistled through the air with a sound that made it seem like a cannonball
Stab!
It pierced through the dark elf’s head, and it fell
- Woof! Woof!
Having lost its owner, the Woldog turned around in confusion towards the direction the javelin came froht It was the last thing it saw
Squelch…
Seo Jun-Ho pulled the javelin out of the Woldog’s neck and took in his surroundings
“There are 5 dark elves and 3 Woldogs left”
“Uh…uhh?” The Player was covered in the blood of both the dark elf and the Woldog, unable to process the situation Seo Jun-Ho glanced down at thehting
“Huh? A-a Player!”
“Backup! They nal from another party!”
The Players were on the defensive, but their faces brightened
“Kyaaaak!” On the other hand, the dark elves’ expressions grew more sinister as their hunt was interrupted They all turned to Seo Jun-Ho and ignored the other Players They wanted to take care of theits weapon, the leader threw the spear at Seo Jun-Ho’s heart with all its strength It was much faster than most Players could throw
“The spear’s speed, aiet”
Seo Jun-Ho didn’t ht before the spear hit hi the weapon into two
Crack!
The dark elf’s eyes widened as it watched its weapon break At the same time, Seo Jun-Ho snatched half of the broken spear froh his opponent’s neck
“Your spear is nice”
“Kak…kaak…!” Seo Jun-Ho kicked the elf who couldn’t even breathe in the abdo his sword
Hesitant, the dark elves instinctively took a step back They were intith and confidence
“Don’t forget about us!”
“This is revenge for our co Players attacked their open backs The battle ended anti-climactically, and Seo Jun-Ho sheathed his sword
“Party Leader Son?”
“Oh, that’sin front of the others raised his hand politely
“What are your casualties?”
“Two of our members that were on watch died We woke up because of their screauh, we just ran away because ere still half-asleep We lost three ” A tear spilled over and he bit his lower lip hard enough to draw blood He looked angry and resentful
“”
Seo Jun-Ho understood those feelings all too well The guilt of being unable to save his teammates would now become his shackles
