Chapter 150: BlACK★LEOPARD SHOOTER (3)
“Ugh.”
Feeling a stinging sensation from the shallow wound on his back, Kyung-joon immediately reached out.
The familiar feeling of the string and the bow in his hand.
It was a strange object, both a spear and a bow, made by Kingyear.
He aimed it at the Black Leopard, who was letting his guard down, thinking he had already won.

▶Current overall stat increase rate: 112%
[Kyung-joon]
▶Strength: 230→488
The arrow he had withdrawn just before crossing paths with the Black Leopard, 『Wild Horn Pierce』.
He nocked it on the 『Wild Canine Bow』 and pulled it taut.
Creak, creak, creak.
An incredible elasticity that felt like it would make him let go of his hand at any moment.
[Insufficient Strength stat!]
[Unable to use the weapon properly.]
Strength above 500.
Dexterity also had to be over 500.
Only the 『Wild Horn Pierce』 could be used as an arrow.
And only when mana was fully charged and the opponent’s opening was perfectly grasped could he use 『Wild Canine Bow』’s special skill, 『Wild Break』.

[Kyung-joon]

[Insufficient Strength stat!]
[Unable to use the weapon properly.]
The fleeting 3 seconds before meeting all those conditions were unfolding before his eyes.
▶Remaining time: 3 seconds→2 seconds
▶Current overall stat increase rate: 116%
▶Strength: 230→497
[Insufficient Strength stat!]
[Unable to use the weapon properly.]
The first second, towards a single point.
▶Remaining time: 2 seconds→1 second
▶Current overall stat increase rate: 118%
▶Strength: 230→501
[Strength stat requirement of 500 or higher has been met.]
[Resistance to pulling the bowstring disappears.]
The 2 seconds, without a single tremor.
[Dexterity 500 or higher…….]
[Opponent’s opening…….]
[Suitable arrow…….]
[Sufficient mana charge…….]
[All conditions have been met.]
[Special skill 『Wild Break』 is now available.]
The last 3 seconds, in a straight line!
[Special Skill 『Wild Break』]
[A powerful blow that focuses everything in a split second. This attack always hits and triggers a critical hit.]
Fwoosh!
The deadly and unavoidable arrow flew straight towards the Black Leopard’s forehead.
“……?!”
Even though the Black Leopard had let his guard down for a moment, thinking that Kyung-joon had been defeated, he somehow sensed the attack beforehand with his Extrasensory Perception trait.
But it was too late to dodge.
A deadly blow that could not be avoided even if anticipated.
That’s why it was a sure hit.
Even the Black Leopard, who had been dodging every attack so far, couldn’t do anything at this moment.
Crack!
In the end, the sure-kill arrow pierced through the Black Leopard’s head.
However, the arrow, unable to control its power, drew a blue line far beyond the horizon.
“Gasp! I just wasted the one he made for me……”
Narrowing his eyes in the direction the arrow had flown, he saw a twinkle~★ at the edge of the sky.
This meant that the weapon – Wild Horn Pierce – had left Kyung-joon’s side forever.
Although the bow – Wild Canine Bow – remained in Kyung-joon’s hands, it was ultimately incomplete without the arrow that had flown away.
“Well, what does it matter if I don’t have such a difficult item to use.”
He had really gone through a lot to use the extremely tricky special skill 『Wild Break』 just once.
He had the Whale Forest wolves distract the Black Leopard for a while, and in the meantime, he had to rewrite the scroll and quickly relay the plan to Ceram…….
He had really struggled to meet the special skill activation conditions and find an opening in the Black Leopard who possessed the 『Extrasensory Perception』 trait.
He even deliberately exposed his back to get injured.
Still, it was worth the effort.
Ding! Ding ding!
[You have defeated the named monster 『Awakened the Black Leopard (Lv.337)』.]
Status windows began to pop up one by one before Kyung-joon’s eyes, rewarding him for his efforts.
And the contents were quite interesting and new.
[A battle worthy of an achievement!]
[A new skill based on your achievement will be generated.]
“Huh?”
A new skill based on his achievements?
While Kyung-joon was surprised by the phenomenon he was seeing for the first time.
[Replaying the achievement.]
A video began to flash before Kyung-joon’s eyes.
It unfolded before his eyes like a revolving lantern, or like a highlight reel of a soccer match.
In the midst of a barrage of bullets, a man was drawing his bowstring.
His target was a beast.
The beast realized right after that the man was aiming at him, but when he blinked his eyes open, the arrow had already reached right in front of his forehead.
The beast realized then.
This, he could neither avoid nor block.
So, the best he could do was to close his eyes and wait.
Immediately after.
The arrow pierced through the beast’s head, tearing apart anything that stood in its way.
And it went straight up to the sky, becoming a star.
[Epic skill 『Sure-hit, Sure-kill』 has been generated.]
[Sure-hit, Sure-kill]
▶Once a day, you can imbue your attack with the magic of Sure-hit, Sure-kill.
▶Towards a single point, without a single tremor, in a straight line! -Kyung-joon-
▶Skill Level: Lv.1
▶Skill Type: Active
▶Skill Rank: Epic
The magic of Sure-hit, Sure-kill.
Wooong.
To find out what kind of magic this was, Kyung-joon immediately gathered mana in his hand.
[Epic Skill 『Sure-hit, Sure-kill (Lv.1)』]
And as he used the skill to convert that mana into the magic of Sure-hit, Sure-kill…….
[Unique skill 『Multi Mana Control: Nano (Lv.4)』]
“……Analyze the mana as usual… Ugh?!”
Crack!
The moment Kyung-joon tried to dissect the magic of Sure-hit, Sure-kill, the mana suddenly burst, and everything was canceled.
[The level and rank of Unique skill 『Multi Mana Control: Nano (Lv.4)』 are too low to handle Epic skill 『Sure-hit, Sure-kill (Lv.1)』.]
[Epic skill 『Sure-hit, Sure-kill (Lv.1)』 has been used.]
[A 24-hour cooldown is applied.]
“……I guess it doesn’t work.”
<ꂶ_ꂶ>
<It is possible to handle lower-ranked skills with higher-ranked skills, but the opposite is rarely possible.>
“Yeah. Just like the Infinite Knowledge Seeker skill.”
Long ago, before obtaining 『Transform Magic』, back when it was still called 『Spell Modification』, Kyung-joon had once tried to modify the mythical skills of Infinite Knowledge Seeker.
But he had failed then too.
Unlike now, where the mana burst, back then, the mana had simply dissipated as soon as he tried.
That’s how inaccessible the essence of mythical skills was to the current Kyung-joon.
“But since this is an epic skill, I can at least access it.”
<If you raise the level of Multi Mana Control further or increase its rank by one level, you will definitely be able to access it.>
“Yeah, I think so.”
Kyung-joon checked the rest of the status windows.
[Obtained the title 『Slayer of the Demon’s Pet』.]
[Slayer of the Demon’s Pet]
▶A special title that can be obtained by defeating the named monster 『Black Leopard』.
▶Black Leopards are a popular pet among demons. 『Damage to demons +10%』
▶Black Leopards are strong, fast, and could even use dark magic. 『Dark magic resistance increased by 5%』 『Curse duration reduced by 10%』
▶Title Type: Special
▶Title Grade: Unique
“Oh, this also raises something other than fame or infamy.”
<It seems similar to the title you got when you first climbed Sky Cliff.>
“Ah. Come to think of it, that was also a special title.”
After scrolling through the logs about obtaining the epic skill and the special title, the experience point log appeared.
[Experience points increased by 210 million.]
[Level up!]
[Kyung-joon: Lv.175→Lv.176]
“My level only went up by one……?”
It was shocking.
When he caught the Mutated Minto Morco at the Fairy-Elven Magic Academy, his level had gone up by dozens!
<>˃̣̣̣̣̣︿˂̣̣̣̣̣̣<>
<The required experience points when you were level 120 were around 10 million. But just now, the required experience points for level 175 were exactly 190,116,006.>
“No way, 190 million for real……”
He had vaguely felt it during the Luxemb defense, but leveling up was getting incredibly difficult.
He hadn’t really understood why people were complaining about the difficulty of leveling up before, but now he was starting to get it.
“Let’s see what it dropped.”
Having checked all the status windows, it was time to check the dropped items.
As he approached the spot where the Black Leopard had died, quite a variety of items greeted Kyung-joon.
[Obtained 2 『Black Leopard’s Black Fangs』.]
[Obtained 『Black Leopard’s Black Hide』.]
[Obtained 『Black Leopard’s Coffee Beans』.]
[Obtained 『Tarnished Black Magic Stone: 3rd Tier』.]
“……..”
Ignoring everything else, he quickly checked the last item he had picked up.
[Tarnished Black Magic Stone: 3rd Tier]
▶A black magic stone obtained from a mutated monster. It has traces of weak dark mana and artificial processing.
▶Item Grade: Unique
“As expected.”
It was the same item he had seen before and currently possessed.
The same Tarnished Black Magic Stone he had obtained from the Mutated Minto Morco.
Even the tier was the same 3rd tier.
“The one the mutated Orc Protein gave me was 2nd tier…… Was it because his level wasn’t over 300?”
<It seems so. Similar to the promotion tier, the higher the level of the mutated monster, the higher the tier of this black magic stone.>
Like level 100s being 1st tier, 200s being 2nd tier, and 300s being 3rd tier.
The level 300 Mutated Minto Morco and Awakened the Black Leopard were both 3rd tier, while the level 200 mutated Orc Protein was 2nd tier.
Kyung-joon said with a serious expression.
“I have a feeling I’m getting caught up in something troublesome again……”
Kyung-joon was getting closer and closer to the main story of the game.
🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷🔷
While Kyung-joon was checking his status window and items, the Whale Forest Wolves and Ceram were still out of it.
It couldn’t be helped. The battle Kyung-joon had just shown them was so great that it was worthy of being called a feat.
Especially, unlike Ceram, who had seen a lot of Kyung-joon by then, the Whale Forest Wolves seemed unable to escape the situation they had just been in.
Kyung-joon approached the Whale Forest Wolves and said,
“Come to think of it, what were you doing?”
“…….”
“Ah, I remember. You were choosing a king, right?”
The quest that had been interrupted by the sudden intrusion of the Black Leopard, 『Become the King of Whale Forest Wolves.』
The concern that the Whale Forest Wolves had asked for advice on was who to choose as their next leader, and after Kyung-joon suggested a mock battle, he had finally persuaded them to choose the smartest wolf.
“So, we need to choose the smartest king……”
The moment Kyung-joon said that to clear the quest.
“O king!”
Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump!
Suddenly, the Whale Forest Wolves knelt before Kyung-joon and bowed their heads.
