The Tutorial Is Too Hard

Chapter 390

Iddy (10)

Blink is not an all-around invincible skill.

Oh, of course, I agree that it’s a versatile skill.

The downside of Blink is simple.

I’m limited to five uses.

It fills up again after a while, but with limited time, five uses was all I had.

It would have been really nice to save a Blink.

I was judging that I had almost cleared the room before, so I didn’t even care about the limit on the number of blinks.

Now the remaining number of uses is 2.

Even if I only used one for each of the three mother bodies, it was not enough.

My body parts that are not rigid are an arm, my head, and my torso.

[Excite! Excite!]

[Excite! Excite!]

I looked at the monsters while floating in the air. The three mother bodies were desperately surrounded by them.

The mother bodies were not gathered in one place as before, but they were dispersed in all directions under the protection of the monsters.

Damn it

It is really evident at a glance that their intelligence is increasing.

[Blink]

I approached one mother body.

Immediately, the monsters surrounding the mother body reacted.

They must have been waiting for me to appear close to the mother body after seeing me use Blink.

[Combat Focus]

There was a monster that ran and threw its own body towards me.

I was able to hit it with one arm.

The monsters reacted to me right away, but not fast enough.

I fell straight down towards the mother body.

As I fell, my gaze was fixed on the nape of the mother body’s neck.

It didn’t matter that I would fall defenseless in the middle of the monsters, or that I wasn’t prepared for the fall at all.

If I bite that mother body and kill it, it wouldn’t take my breath away.

If I can’t kill it, I will die.

I aimed at the nape of the mother body’s neck, but what I bit off was the mother’s collarbone.

I could feel the bones in my mouth along with the flesh.

A counterattack came immediately.

I felt a strong shock on my back.

A stinging pain that started in the back spread down my spine.

I got it wrong.

I could feel the hands of monsters grabbing me here and there.

Stone axes were falling all over the place.

“Ahhhhh!”

[Soul Cry]

[Talaria’s Wings]

I smashed the monsters around me.

The mother body was escorted away from me.

It wasn’t far away yet.

I hit the floor hard with my right arm.

With that shock, I flew toward the mother body once again.

Damn, does it make sense for someone to punch the ground to try to move?

Moving without using your legs.

Damn it

The more I think about it, the angrier I get.

“You bastaaaarrrddssss!”

Once again, I was disgusted to bite the mother body’s neck and the monsters ran trying to protect the mother body.

* * *

“Sigh.”

I leaned my back against the wall.

I used up all my blinks.

At a time when movement was impossible, it was necessary to secure even the safety of my back.

I lifted the body in my hand.

To be exact, the mother body.

The neck was torn and she was already dead.

“Hooo...”

With my right hand, I covered the wounds on the mother body, which were bleeding profusely.

What should I do with this

“Hey! Back off! If you come close, this guy will die!”

I shouted while holding the corpse of the mother body in my hand.

The monsters were puzzled for a while, but soon an answer came back.

[Why!? That monster is already dead!]

It was a strange combination of words, but the meaning was understandable.

‘Don’t gossip. I know he’s already dead.’ It should be about that.

Damn things.

Now, they have reached a level where communication is very smooth.

The words were a bit strange, but better than the original situation when they faced several adventurers, and could only imitate what I said, leading them to have limited vocabulary.

My efforts were not in vain.

I ended up killing two mother bodies.

I crawled on the floor with one arm, eventually biting it to death.

But in the process, too much was lost.

My spine creaked with every twist.

It wasn’t just a squeak, but the bone was brittle and the tip of my toe was tingling.

Considering my pain tolerance skills. This is really serious pain.

My body is like, ‘You, if you move more there, you’ll die! Really die! This is a serious warning!’

One of my arms was broken at the elbow.

In addition to spinal problems, both of my legs were unable to move due to broken bones and stabbed muscles.

In the end, I killed both mother bodies, but the only thing I could move was my right arm and head, which had moved from the beginning.

Oh, it’s actually one less.

Now it’s hard to even move my torso.

It would be nice if I could drink a potion.

Unlike games, the enemies in reality do not let others drink potions leisurely.

I don’t know if they will understand and block the potion, or if they are just preventing abnormal behavior during battle.

My heart was beating so fast that I thought my heart was going to explode, but on the contrary, my head started to cool down.

I have one right arm.

One corpse of a mother body to be used as a shield to cover my body.

Fortunately, my location is close to the wall.

I’m not afraid of being attacked behind my back, so let’s stop the monsters attacking me one by one

It seems so damn impossible.

As soon as I finished speaking, a stone spear came.

I reflexively grabbed the spear and pulled it to my side.

The monster with the spear was about to fall forward.

So, when swinging a weapon, do not place your center of gravity too far forward.

When the attack misses, your stance collapses.

I placed the spear down and grabbed the monster’s neck and twisted it.

And finished by biting its throat with my mouth.

Blood gushed out of the monster’s neck like a fountain.

There were two corpse shields to cover my body.

The monsters froze at that sight.

These monsters overcame their fears with discipline and a sense of community, but their emotions were not gone.

Rather, they would be richer.

Good news for me.

I shook my head and leaned my back against the wall.

How long will I be able to last?

How many more can I kill?

It was questionable.

But I’ll see what I can do.

* * *

“Uhh...”

A thin breath escaped from my mouth.

I bled too much.

I became extremely sensitive, and was aware of every movement of my body.

My mind is becoming hazy.

Chills creeping up.

Split and torn right arm.

The monsters eventually gave up on stabbing me to death.

Instead, they kept their distance and aimed at my hand.

My hands and wrists were torn and cracked and very tattered.

It was helpful to have them sticking together without being cut off yet.

The floor was lined with the corpses of monsters.

They remained even after completely covering my torso and lower body, and they were piled up low like a barricade at least around me.

“Ha ha ha ha ha”

Laughter came out.

It was me who was dying, but it was the monsters that were crushed by fear.

“Only six left.”

All those monsters died.

There is only one mother body left.

The last mother body was shaking and trembling every time she made eye contact with me.

The monsters that have survived so far are not cowards.

Rather, they were the best.

Those who commanded other monsters.

They were afraid of me, but they were very vigilant.

Now I know I’m dying

I completely gave up the battle and waited for my death

It’s almost over.

I’m almost there, but my body doesn’t move anymore.

I’m pretty sure it’s almost there.

My eyes kept closing.

Blurred vision.

Bang!

A sudden roar.

I opened my eyes.

Spear.

A spear appeared.

A huge spear that pierced through the head of the one remaining mother body.

“Captain! I’m here!”

Iddy is here

* * *

“Croak.”

Iddy groaned.

“I’m just trying to help.”

Iddy said.

“Hey, here’s the spear.”

Iddy grabbed my attention and pulled out the spear, and rolled it away.

“Croak, it’s okay, it’s okay.”

Iddy slowly pulled her foot towards me.

My nerves sharpened as the distance decreased.

“It’s okay. I’m trying to help. Croak.”

Iddy moved forward little by little despite my nervous reaction.

It was a pity that I couldn’t even throw something.

“Do not come.”

“Croak, it’s fine.”

Iddy kept coming.

I was anxious.

In my mind, the worst thing I could imagine unfolded.

I was too weak.

I wish you would leave me like this.

If only I had recovered, a little bit, just a little.

“Croak.”

I am losing my mind again.

Iddy was slowly approaching me in this situation where it was hard for me to even react.

Thoughts filled my mind that I had to stop Iddy.

When I came to my senses, Iddy was one step closer, and when I woke up again, she was two steps closer.

“Croak, I’ll borrow this.”

Iddy picked up a potion bottle that had fallen on the floor.

She opened the potion bottle and came closer to me.

The moment Iddy touched my body, I grabbed her by the neck.

No, I didn’t grab it.

Her neck was too big and thick for my hands to hold.

Damn it

“It’s okay, it’s okay. It’s over. Croak.”

Iddy removed the corpses from my body and started applying potions to the wounds.

I thought I would be able to resist when the bodies were removed, but my body still didn’t feel strong.

I tried to move, but my body couldn’t even struggle.

And so I fell asleep.

[The God of Adventure is thrilled.]

* * *

The next day, I was able to clear the last room on the 7th floor stage.

[You have cleared the 7th floor stage.]

[You are the first to clear the 7th floor stage.]

[Obtained additional points.]

[You have cleared the 7th floor of Tutorial Hell difficulty.]

[All status ailments and injuries are healed]

[Many gods are watching you.]

[Acquired additional rewards according to stage progress.]

[Favorable: 81, Unfavorable: 4]

Seeing the message, I roughly brushed my hair.

Damn it.

Too many votes were favorable.

Even when I cleared the 6th floor, there weren’t that many.

In other words, after all, the gods liked my clearing of the 7th floor.

Damn it, damn it!

“Croak, are you done?”

“Noisy!”

“Why are you so angry?”

Iddy was sullen.

I looked at her figure for a moment and then said,

“Let’s go. We’re going through this portal.”

It was questionable whether Iddy, who was summoned, could advance to the next stage.

Let’s go.

I used the portal with Iddy.

I was moved to Kirikiri’s garden, and Iddy was still by my side.

She can come here too?

“Hello! Hello!”

Kirikiri came running, waving her hand vigorously.

She was more excited than usual.

The height of her jump was about 1.5 times higher than usual.

She seemed to jump almost to my chest.

Kirikiri ran hard and ignored me and clinged to Iddy next to me.

She grabbed Iddy’s hand and started spinning around.

Iddy was perplexed.

Kirikiri went round and round without paying any attention.

“Good job, good job. Thanks to you, Ho-jae survived.”

“No it’s not!”

“No, it’s not what!?”

I would have survived in the end even without Iddy.

I have super regeneration skills.

Survival was tight, but in the end I would have survived.

If I had recovered enough to drink the potion, I would have survived.

“Hi-hing, I know everything. It’s because you’re shy.”

“No!”

I screamed, but Kirikiri and Iddy ignored me.

They didn’t listen to me at all.

The two started talking about the 7th floor.

How Iddy was able to come to my room on time on that stage.

Kirikiri knew my movements on the stage, but didn’t know Iddy’s movements.

Iddy explained diligently.

She seemed to adapt well to the absurd situation of the Tutorial where the environment suddenly changed.

After watching them for a while, I bought a cake from the shop window.

“Talk while eating. I need to rest.”

I said so and laid down.

Kirikiri was excited and started eating her cake.

Iddy just stared blankly.

“What are you doing, you eat too.”

“Croak.”

Iddy chuckled and laughed.

“Thank you, Captain.”

I was silent for a while before I could say thank you.

Then I answered.

“...Yes, thank you too.”
