The Tutorial Is Too Hard-Chapter 389

Chapter 389 Iddy (9)

“It’s nothing. Croak.”

“What, why?”

“Croak.”

Iddy rolled her eyes, avoiding answering.

As she was doing that, she looked like a lizard again.

“Why? Does it mean something?”

Sometimes when I listen to a foreign language, there are words that sound similar to Korean.

And if those words have the wrong meaning or sound like a swear word, they can be used as funny jokes.

I thought that might be the case.

“Croak? I don’t know.”

“I don’t know, I don’t know. Why don’t you answer quickly?”

“Croak. I can’t remember… Suddenly I can’t think of anything!”

You’re talking nonsense.

Die.

Approaching Iddy, I took her spear and swung it.

I poked Iddy on her side that was lying on the spear.

“Croak!”

I stabbed her pretty hard, but for Iddy it tickled rather than hurt.

I was able to realize once again that there was a difference in the durability of her basic body itself from that of a human.

I swung a little harder.

“Croak! It hurts, Captain! It really hurts!”

I’m hitting you because you’re sick!

Iddy got up and started running away, and I followed her.

I played tag for a while and beat Iddy, but in the end I couldn’t figure out the meaning of my name.

Iddy repeated the lie that she really didn’t remember.

“Croak, Croak!”

Iddy was excited, panting for breath.

She was like a dog going out for a walk.

There was no sign of pain in the place where she was beaten.

She has a needlessly strong body.

In the end, I decided to give up asking for the meaning of my name.

She was so happy, it was embarrassing to be honest and ask her questions.

I thought it would be better not to know.

“Now sleep. The meaning of rest is gone now. Time is wasted.”

I decided to go back to sleep.

I closed my eyes sitting a little away from Iddy.

I closed my eyes altogether, so Iddy was sad for a while, then laid back down.

Iddy tried to grab my attention by waving her tail and sniffing the floor; perhaps she wanted to chat more, but I pretended to be asleep and ignored her.

After a while, Iddy seemed to have given up, so she stopped trying to catch my attention and went quiet.

After that, she tossed and turned a little, but did not get up.

After waiting for another 15 minutes, Iddy’s breathing became more even, and a hoarse snort began to come out.

After I opened my eyes and made sure that Iddy was asleep, I went to sleep too.

* * *

“Wake up!”

“Croak!?”

I woke Iddy from her sleep.

As soon as Iddy woke up, she had a bewildered expression on her face.

“Croak? Captain, how long have we slept?”

“Six hours.”

“Croak!”

Iddy said she was sleeping really deeply.

It was amazing.

She was just amazing.

In fact, I slept for about an hour and a half.

I can’t sleep more than two hours a day because of insomnia.

However, I couldn’t wait for Iddy to sleep and wake up without doing anything.

“Croak. I’ve slept for six hours and I’m still tired.”

“You’re not awake enough. You’ll wake up if I spear you.”

After getting ready with Iddy, we moved on to stage 7-3.

[You have entered Stage 7-3.]

“The room is empty. Croak.”

“Yeah.”

The first room on stage 7-3 was empty.

Stage 7-2 started in a room full of monsters.

What’s the difference

Actually, it wasn’t completely empty.

In this room, I could see the huts of the monsters I saw on stage 7-2.

They were bigger and more numerous than before.

There were just no monsters.

Anyway, the level of completion of the huts has improved considerably.

In a place where wood and mud could not be obtained, I wondered how well it was built with stones, leather, and bones.

I looked around the hut, and this time, I found a map.

As described on stage 7-3, it was a map with 9 rooms drawn.

The nine rooms were organized like a numeric keypad in a 3×3 arrangement.

And this room marked with a highlight line is the middle of the nine rooms.

Judging from the number pad, it was room number 5 in the center.

When I checked the wall, mobile portals were drawn on all four sides of the square room.

According to the map, I think it’s right to think this is the middle room.

“I’m glad it’s not a straight line configuration though.”

If the mother bodies continued to run away from the dungeon with a straight line configuration, in the last room, you would have to deal with a group of Dombas including nine mother bodies.

Even with me and Iddy combined, there will be no limbs left.

The middle room was also a plus.

“What are you going to do? Croak.”

I showed Iddy the map and explained.

“You’re going to the upper room, I’m going to the left room. And.”

We are in room 5.

From here, attack rooms 8 and 4 at the same time.

Naturally, the mother bodies will run away.

The mother body of room 4 flees to room 1 or 7.

A maximum of 3 mother bodies can be gathered in room 7.

3 mother bodies.

It was a number that Iddy and I could handle.

“Croak. What if the mother of room 4 escapes to room 1?”

“You just have to attack Room 2, block the escape route, and attack Room 1. Even then, the maximum number of mothers to gather in Room 1 is three. You can handle it with ease.”

Then, the remaining rooms are rooms 3, 6, and 9.

If two mother bodies are gathered in Room 9, you can attack Room 6 first, then attack Room 9 and 3 separately.

Up to three mothers are not intimidating, so we should be able to finish them with ease.

“Croak. It seems like a good plan.”

The remaining variable was the difference between stage 7-2 and 7-3.

I waited for a message explaining something to appear, but no message appeared.

They don’t show up when you need them anyway.

“Enter.”

I touched the portal on the left wall and said.

When I turned my head, Iddy had already reached the portal on the northern wall.

We exchanged glances with each other and activated the portals.

It was a strange feeling.

Cooperating with someone. No, there was no such thing as cooperation.

It was a little strange to be part of a team.

It was a really weird feeling.

Without a moment to be confused by the uncomfortable feeling, I was moved to the 4th room.

As soon as I moved into the room, I saw the monsters.

The difference, the biggest variable, was confirmed with the monsters on the 7th and 2nd floors.

There was a clear difference that could be seen at a glance.

The first was that the monsters were already forming a square, as if they were waiting for me to enter.

Second, the monsters had clothes and weapons.

There were crude clothes made of leather and stones, long stone spears and stone axes carved out of whole stones.

For a stone spear, it would be difficult for a human to lift it, let alone swing it, but it would be just the right weight for those monsters.

The third difference was this.

[Come here. Hello. It’s crazy-eyeless bastard.]

All the monsters were talking.

Unlike stage 7-1 and 7-2, the monsters here were silent.

Only one monster has spoken to me.

Is it the commander?

Also, their intelligence has improved a lot.

“Right, hi, you crazy-eyeless bastards?”

I approached them pretending to accept their words.

The last difference.

The mother body of this room was aware of my intrusion, but neither stiffened me nor ran away.

Yet.

[Blink]

I approached the mother body with the surprise Blink.

[Stop! Die!]

The commander screamed and screamed.

[Stop! Excite! Excite!]

[Excite! Exciting!]

The monsters around me clashed together and clinged to me.

Apparently, these guys have adopted strange words as their cheering voice.

[Talaria’s Wings]

Huge wings spread out from behind my back, and the monsters that were clinging to me were hit by the wings and flew away.

A spear pierced from the front.

I pushed my forearm forward and blocked it.

My arm with magical powers is no different than a shield in itself.

I moved forward

The sharpened spear blade scraped past my forearm.

Unfortunately, the monster did not even have a shield.

As the gap narrowed, the spear became powerless.

Their spear skills aren’t even that high yet.

With my free hand, I gripped the monster’s neck.

I could feel the sensation of a broken neck bone in my hand.

I threw the corpse of the monster with its strength lost head-on.

My front is open.

Through the collapsed display, the mother body could be seen.

The mother body was running towards the wall.

I picked up a stone spear that had fallen to the floor and threw it.

A spear that flew straight should pierce right into the mother’s back.

[Excite!]

However, one monster threw itself and was struck by the stone spear instead of its mother.

[Good job! Excite!]

[Excite!]

One fellow was killed instantly by the stone spear, but the monsters cheered.

Meanwhile, the mother body ran away to another room beyond the wall.

Oh my, the monsters were more desperate than I thought.

They were monsters who did their best to protect the mother body in the previous stage, but they did not sacrifice their lives to help the mother escape the room.

Rather, as soon as the mother body tried to escape, they quickly lost their courage.

[Excite! Excite! Crazy-eyeless bastard!]

[Kill! Stop it, stop it!]

Surprisingly, the monsters were still fighting even after their mother body had fled.

The monsters surrounded me, who had dug into the middle of the camp, and formed a formation again.

Monsters with long spears in front, monsters with stone axes in the rear.

It’s fun.

I thought it would be easier to deal with the monsters after the mother body had left, causing them to feel frustrated.

I can’t believe they were so active

I was just grateful.

I took out a single-edged sword and shield from my inventory.

“Come on, run!”

[Soul Cry]

[Soul Cry]

Unlike the monsters of the previous stage, who were drawn to the soul cry and shuffled to their feet.

[Excite! Excite!]

[Excite! Excite!]

With a loud unified slogan the fiercely attacking monsters swung their shields and swords.

“Ha!”

I felt refreshed as I hit the monster’s neck.

Yes, the battle should be this passionate.

Every time the mother body dies or runs away, it is not enough to only deal with those who babble.

However, it is impossible not to aim for the mother body first.

But now that the monsters are aggressively attacking me, I feel like fighting a little bit.

I reduced the number of monsters surrounding me one by one.

Around the time when all the monsters with spears in the line had died, leaving only the monsters with axes.

An extraordinary event occurred.

The portal carved into the wall hummed.

For a moment, I wondered if Iddy was coming, but soon I knew it wasn’t.

There were a total of two rooms connected to room 4 where I am now.

Room 5, which is safe, and Room 7, which will contain the monsters.

The portal that is currently running is the one connected to Room 7 where the mother body escaped.

And

Suddenly, one leg and one arm became stiff.

Bang!

A monster slammed its shoulder into my side.

I was pushed by the force and fell to the floor with my face down.

My face smashed the floor, and blood gushed out of my forehead.

I forced my head to look up.

The blood dripping from my forehead was annoying, but I could see what I wanted.

The monsters that came from room 7.

3 mother bodies.

I could understand the situation.

The mother of room 4, who escaped, returned with the mothers of the other room.

[Excite! Excite! Excite]

[Excite! Excite! Excite]

[Excite! Excite! Excite]

The monsters cheered and screamed.

A message appeared in front of me.

[Information about Dombas is updated.]

– The reason Dombas, who had been forgotten for a while, started to gain attention again was their socialization.

– They originally had a small society of one Dombas mother body and several Dombas, but as their intelligence rapidly increased, they expanded the boundaries of society.

– While leading and managing her own pack, the mother body began to form social and political relationships with the mother body of other groups.

– When they felt grave threat by an intruder, they went beyond entrusting themselves to the mother body of another group, actively traveling between each other’s realms, interfering with or cooperating with commerce, alliances, and expansion, and even waging war with each other.

– In the process, the Dombas mother bodies began to expand beyond the depths of the Izaaku Dungeon to lead more realms and more hordes.

– The adventurers who had already given up on subjugating the Dombas could not stop the Dombas trying to expand due to a sudden increase in number.

– Belatedly, they joined forces to try to stop the Dombas, but they were defeated by the united Dombas group and were eventually kicked out of the Izaaku Dungeon, and the Dombas were reborn as the true owners of the Izaaku Dungeon.

A message appeared.

Again, this message is of no help.

“This… this…!”

Son of a bitch!

Real bitch stuff!

How far do you have to push people to get rid of their intuition?

By creating a pattern for the behavior of the Dombas mother body.

All of a sudden, ‘Ta-da. Our Dombas have evolved that much. In the future, the pattern will be different. Haha.’ Does this make sense!

They’re not telling you in advance, but after you’re done!

[Excite!]

A monster flew at me as I fell.

Damn it

If it falls on me, I’ll die.

One arm and both legs were already paralyzed.

[Blink]

I used Blink up in the air.

As I floated up to the ceiling, I could see the condition of the room at a glance.

Three mother bodies joined the group of Dombas, which had shrunk to half their original number.

The Dombas swarm began to encircle the mother bodies in haste as soon as I floated into the air using Blink.

The portal on the wall was still running.

Another mother did not appear, but ordinary Dombas armed with spears and axes continued to come in.

They must have been the Dombas from Room 7 and Room 8 that the mother bodies brought.

In the meantime, all I have left is a right arm, a head, and two blinks.

Fuck. Let’s do it.

I don’t think it’s a good idea.

I had no choice but to do it.
