Chapter 162
The current number of viewers on HoneyTube had surpassed 70,000 and was approaching 80,000.
“Wow… This is insane.”
It was Ha-jin, watching the broadcast outside of the capsule.
And Kim Bong-Goo was there with him.
“I know, right?… How are there so many?”
He had become close enough with Ha-jin to meet offline, eat together, and chat while leveling up.
“How can he find undiscovered dungeons so easily?”
“It’s amazing every time.”
It was impossible without knowing the future.
But how could a person know the future and act accordingly?
It was nonsense.
“It’s a shame… I should have been there too.”
“Me too.”
Honey 2, Ha-jin.
And the newly added Honey 3, Kim Bong-Goo.
They were quite disappointed that they couldn’t participate in Jeong-hoon’s content.
“When will I reach level 201…”
Even with diligent leveling, 201 was a distant number.
“Still, you’re better off than me… I’m only 181.”
Kim Bong-Goo grumbled.
It was understandable, as Ha-jin, who was complaining, was level 191.
He still had 20 levels to go, while Ha-jin only had 10 left.
So it sounded like a spoiled complaint to him.
“Hey, that’s why I take 2 potions when they drop, and you get 3.”
“…That’s true.”
After a tough fight to defeat the Bone Lord Wyvern and obtaining 5 potions, Ha-jin voluntarily took only 2 and gave 3 to Kim Bong-Goo.
Thanks to that, they were able to reduce the level gap between Ha-jin and Kim Bong-Goo to 10.
“If you have any complaints, let me know. I’ll head over to Leas as soon as I hit 201.”
“Gasp! What are you talking about? When did I ever complain?”
“Your expression is full of complaints.”
“Absolutely not! Let’s just focus on watching Jeong-hoon’s broadcast!”
Feeling cornered, Kim Bong-Goo hurriedly changed the subject.
Ha-jin chuckled and nodded.
“Alright.”
* * *
The number of viewers exceeded 80,000.
And Jeong-hoon had eliminated over 200 Blood Wolves in front of him.
The corpses of monsters were piled up like a mountain on the ground.
“This is easy.”
Jeong-hoon said with a relaxed expression, wiping the blood off his fists.
– Wow, haha, aren’t you tired?
– He’s really beating them up lol
– Defeating all the Blood Wolves with his fists lol This is crazy.
– Only the boss is left now, right?
– I think there are more monsters left? The dungeon is so vast, there must be more.
That’s right.
The scale of Fenrir’s dungeon was beyond imagination, so clearing this many monsters didn’t mean they could reach the boss.
It required a raid-level party of at least 10 people to clear it smoothly.
“I think there are more.”
Jeong-hoon moved, recalling his memories from his previous life.
Having cleared out the Blood Wolves, it was time to take care of the Golden Wolves.
They weren’t the type to mindlessly charge like the Blood Wolves.
They would be hiding and observing him.
Their nature was to wait for an opening and strike a fatal blow.
‘Then I’ll have to use that to my advantage.’
Jeong-hoon took out Anima.
– The bow is out!
– What is he going to hunt with the bow?
– The bow that took down the Bone Lord Wyvern ㄷㄷ
The viewers’ reactions were heated.
Should he fuel the fire even more?
Jeong-hoon drew Anima’s string and aimed it towards the bushes.
But there was no reaction from the bushes.
– Where is he aiming?
– There’s nothing there?
– What is he even aiming at?
Where else?
Where the Golden Wolves were hiding.
Jeong-hoon released the drawn string.
Fwoosh!
The arrow pierced the air and accurately hit a tree.
Then, two Golden Wolves that had been concealed between the tree and the bushes were exposed.
The two Golden Wolves hurriedly tried to hide again, but it was too late.
Another arrow, shot once more, precisely hit one Golden Wolf between the eyes.
Even though their comrade had fallen, they didn’t reveal themselves.
Jeong-hoon created additional Magic Missiles.
They had also been upgraded to Unique grade, allowing him to generate up to 10 at once.
As the magic manifested, the comment section erupted.
– …?
– What’s that?
– WTF?
– Haha, now he’s even using magic?
– Seriously, Honey 1, what are you?
– What kind of hybrid is this…?
Jeong-hoon drew the string again and shot arrows consecutively.
This exposed a few more Golden Wolves that had been hiding.
He could only set them as targets for the Magic Missiles if they were visible.
He targeted the exposed Golden Wolves and launched the missiles.
The Magic Missiles flew towards the targeted Golden Wolves, hit them directly, and exploded.
Boom!
Six more Golden Wolves were killed.
Only then, sensing the gravity of the situation, they began to cautiously reveal themselves.
[Golden Wolf uses ‘Fear’.]
Jeong-hoon’s body froze for a moment.
As he stood there, stiff as a board, the Golden Wolves revealed themselves all at once.
There were about 20 of them.
“We got him!”
“Human! We’ll kill you!”
The Golden Wolves approached Jeong-hoon, drool dripping from their fangs.
When they got close enough, Jeong-hoon used Purification.
[Using Purification.]
The debuff that had bound his entire body disappeared, and Jeong-hoon drew his bowstring once more.
“…!”
The Golden Wolves, who had been charging, hesitated, but it was too late.
Jeong-hoon released the drawn string, and the arrow pierced the forehead of the leading Golden Wolf with precision.
One more kill.
Jeong-hoon drew and released the string repeatedly.
Fwoosh!
Every arrow hit its mark.
* * *
The Golden Wolves were eliminated.
The Dark Wolves were eliminated.
Finally, after taking care of the Iron Wolves, they reached the boss.
– Is he even human?
– How can he hunt so well…?
– Honestly, isn’t Honey 1 at the ranker level?
– Even Korean rankers would have a hard time showing that kind of performance, right?
[Current Viewers: 102,334]
The number of live viewers had surpassed 100,000.
“Well then, it seems like there are no more monsters, so let’s go catch the boss.”
[Viewer ‘Moony0001’ has donated 1,000,000 won.]
– Honey 1, what’s your identity? Reveal it and I’ll deposit an additional 5 million.
As he was moving towards the boss zone, a 1 million won donation message popped up.
In fact, donations had been pouring in since earlier, but this was the first time a 100 million won donation had appeared.
Moreover, the viewer was offering an additional 5 million won if he revealed his identity.
“Thank you for the 1 million won donation.”
Of course, Jeong-hoon had no intention of revealing his identity.
[Viewer ‘Hoping to be a Salary Thief’ has donated 200,000 won.]
– Adding 200,000 won. Please reveal your identity… I’m going crazy.
[Viewer ‘Adios’ has donated 500,000 won.]
– I’m adding to the pot too. If you reveal it, I’ll send an additional 2 million.
Donations continued to pour in after that.
“Let’s hurry up.”
– Wow lol Look at him stubbornly ignoring them lol
– Money means nothing to him?!
– This is driving me crazy!
Jeong-hoon stood in front of the boss zone.
The boss zone was accessed through a portal at the mountain’s summit.
Beyond it, the Giant Wolf Fenrir slumbered.
‘Fenrir, the beast tamed by Serion, the one who first established the City of Warriors.’
But just before his death, Serion himself sealed Fenrir away.
After that, he hid it within the territory of the City of Archers and passed away.
He thought that no one would be able to find it if he hid it outside the City of Warriors.
That thought proved to be correct.
Even after the City of Warriors took over the territory, Fenrir never revealed itself.
Jeong-hoon stepped through the portal.
[LV. 227 Sealed Giant Wolf Fenrir]
In front of him, the Giant Wolf Fenrir was asleep, curled up.
Its massive size seemed to be at least 15 meters tall.
– It’s freaking huge…
– It looks even bigger than the Bone Lord Wyvern?
[To defeat it, you must break the seal.]
[The seal has weakened over time.]
To defeat it, he had to break the seal.
In front of Fenrir, sealing orbs in the shape of staffs were stuck in the ground, all of them cracked on the surface.
Jeong-hoon pulled out each staff one by one.
Crack!
The pulled-out staffs shattered and disappeared.
As he pulled out the last remaining staff, Fenrir’s closed eyes snapped open.
[The seal is released.]
With the disappearance of the sealing orbs, it awoke from its long slumber.
“Grrr, human, I’ll kill you.”
Fenrir bared its fangs, drool dripping.
Having been sealed for so long, it was extremely hungry and seemed ready to devour Jeong-hoon on the spot.
‘Sorry, but you’ll have to disappear from here.’
Jeong-hoon drew Anima’s string.
The arrow shot towards Fenrir’s left eye.
But it raised its hand and swatted the arrow away.
Its reaction speed was unbelievable.
‘Can’t let my guard down just because it’s level 227.’
[Giant Wolf Fenrir uses Howling.]
Its howl was on a different level compared to the normal monsters.
The special ability, Howling.
It was a debuff that sealed Jeong-hoon’s mana.
Under this debuff, mana hardened like stone, making it impossible to use skills.
‘The ability to seal mana. That’s what makes it so OP.’
That Howl was a cheat-like ability that affected anyone, regardless of their level.
[Using Purification.]
However, its weakness was its vulnerability to holy power.
The mana that had hardened like stone was released and circulated back into his body.
[Activating Blackfield.]
[All stats are increased by 1.5 times.]
[Due to the effect of Blackfield, all stats of monsters that intrude into the area are decreased by 10%.]
Jeong-hoon activated Blackfield.
[All stats are increased by 15%.]
[Damage reduction of 20% is applied.]
[Time limit is ‘1 hour’.]
And on top of that, the Stat Amplification ring.
Additionally, the Guardian of Märchen activated Poison Attack.
“You use strange abilities.”
Fenrir glared at Jeong-hoon.
[Giant Wolf Fenrir uses Prey Focus.]
Prey Focus.
The beast activated another special ability.
[Movement speed is decreased by 20%.]
[You are in a state of fear.]
[All stats are decreased by 10%.]
A triple debuff.
[Using Purification.]
Once again, Jeong-hoon dispelled the debuffs with holy power.
‘It’s truly a cheat.’
This was the reason why he sought to obtain holy power first after his return.
Jeong-hoon created a Magic Missile, targeted Fenrir, and fired.
“Hmph, with such a lowly magic, you think you can…?”
Fenrir scoffed.
But when a single Magic Missile hit its body, Fenrir screamed.
The destructive power was beyond imagination.
“Kyaaa!”
“Lowly magic? Let’s see you withstand this.”
Jeong-hoon created nine more Magic Missiles and fired them at Fenrir.
No matter how fast its reaction speed was, it was impossible to dodge all nine homing Magic Missiles.
In that gap, he drew Anima’s string, aimed at its left eye, and released.
Fwoosh!
This time, the arrow accurately pierced Fenrir’s left eye.
And the effect of Extreme Archer activated.
===
[Extreme Archer: Soul]
– Type: Passive
– Level: 6
– Grade: Unique
– Bow damage is permanently increased by 35%. (Critical Arrow always activated)
– Physical/magical evasion is permanently increased by 18%.
– When holding a bow, breathing remains stable, and body tremors are minimized.
– When holding a bow, vision is extended up to 700m.
– Enemies hit by arrows are incapacitated for 5.2 seconds. (Cannot be stacked)
– Enemies hit by arrows have their abilities sealed for 9.6 seconds. (Cannot be stacked)
===
The effects had been enhanced overall as it upgraded to Unique grade.
“Kkeeeeaaaang!”
Fenrir let out a painful scream as its vital point, the eye, was pierced by the arrow.
However, it was incapacitated, and its body couldn’t move as if it were frozen stiff.
Jeong-hoon drew the string again, aimed at the same spot, and fired.
Fwoosh!
As a sharpshooter with perfect accuracy, Jeong-hoon’s arrow this time accurately struck the beast’s right eye.
– Wow… That’s insane.
– Seriously, like with the Bone Lord Wyvern, isn’t he the top archer in Korea with that kind of pure skill?
– Seriously lol
– Lee Hwa-rang is out! Now Honey 1 is the number 1 archer lol
– In terms of pure skill lol
Jeong-hoon enjoyed the viewers’ reactions and aimed at Fenrir once again.
Just then.
– Huh? What’s going on?
– The screen froze!
– …
The broadcast crashed before he could even kill it.
‘Is it because there are too many viewers?’
Well, for now, he had to take care of that guy and then restart the broadcast or something.
Then Fenrir shouted urgently.
“W-wait!”
“Hmm?”
“Please spare me! I’ll do anything you ask…”
It started begging for its life in a tearful voice.
It had realized that it couldn’t win against this opponent.
As much as it hated humans, it didn’t want to die like this.
‘…What should I do with this?’
Jeong-hoon fell into a brief moment of contemplation.
If he killed Fenrir, it would drop a 100% guaranteed reward.
However, the reward Fenrir would give wasn’t particularly useful to Jeong-hoon.
The reward was a sword made from its ribs.
The purpose of this dungeon was, after all, the rewards that came with clearing it.
‘Should I try raising it?’
The Giant Wolf Fenrir.
It had just been released from its seal, so most of its abilities were lost.
If it regained its strength, it would become incomparably stronger than its current level 227.
If that happened, it would surely be of great help to Jeong-hoon.
“You want to live?”
“Yes…!”
Fenrir nodded its head frantically.
“Then seize this opportunity.”
Jeong-hoon reached out his hand towards Fenrir.
[Using Taming.]
As he attempted to tame it, Fenrir flinched but didn’t resist, accepting it obediently.
Then, Fenrir’s body was enveloped in a blue light, and soon a white light burst forth, completely restoring its body.
[Taming successful!]
[Monster Collection system is now available!]
[This monster is not in your collection!]
[You have earned 5,000 achievement points!]
With this, Fenrir was registered in the collection, following Michael.
