Chapter 396
The forest was chaotic in the middle of the night.
It was due to a few monsters that suddenly dropped from thin air.
It wasn’t an unusual occurrence. In forests where many monsters naturally live, being attacked by monsters is common.
‘This is different.’
The monsters that caused the commotion this time were different.
They fell from an unusually dark hole. They were stronger than the monsters naturally born in this forest.
Their ranks were the same, but their basic physical capabilities were higher. They possessed strength, magic, and even their own uniqueness.
The battle had just ended. Standing in front of the fallen monster carcasses, Lee Ha-yul narrowed his eyes.
A mutation.
This wasn’t the only one. All the monsters that fell from the hole were mutants that had undergone some sort of mutation.
‘...Did someone intentionally create these mutants?’
The Tower of Growth was divided into many spaces and floors. Some spaces are used for the entrance exam, but others are unknown.
Lee Ha-yul recalled the spaces he had observed after falling into this place.
In these vast and diverse spaces, countless monsters were thriving, growing by hunting and devouring each other.
‘If I could control them, I could create an army far beyond my imagination.’
The power of growth.
He had already experienced its full potential. Even without thinking much about it, he could guess which power would be most suitable for creating an army.
Lee Ha-yul, having finished his thoughts, released his presence.
"...One more!"
The cadets, who had been catching their breath, immediately raised their weapons. They opened their eyes wide as they saw Lee Ha-yul wearing the black helmet.
Their reactions were similar to those of the previous cadets.
Lee Ha-yul’s actions were the same as before.
"Cough, damn..."
- Boom!
- Click!
- Thud!
- The attempt was good, but you were too careless in the moment. Don’t think a single strike will finish the battle. Always remember to use long-range manipulation.
- Your spacing was sloppy. Try handling different weapons of varying lengths, and face them in battle.
- Snap!
- You didn’t adjust the distance properly. Try handling various weapons of different lengths and facing opponents like this.
- Crash!
- Your sword speed is predictable, making retaliation easy. By varying the speed and altering the number of strikes, you can change the outcome.
- See? While leaving gaps can be bad, tightly filling them without thinking can make deflecting much easier. Keep this in mind.
- …It’s a long story.
- I’ve been helping and advising...
- Creak
- Squeeze…
