Monster Hunter (6)

The Deviljho’s massive body moved back with a swoosh.

A really small movement.

But in my awakened state, I caught even that tiny movement.

Thinking it was an attack opportunity, I took a step forward, then realized I’d made a mistake.

‘Cheolsango…!’

I thought the Deviljho would retreat, but it wasn’t retreating, it was pulling back to lunge. Knowing what the Deviljho was about to do, I frantically raised my greatsword.

Pa-eok!!!

“Keoheok…!”

The Deviljho’s gigantic body slammed into me, and the remaining air in my lungs burst out with a scream.

The overwhelming force sent my body flying.

“Keuek…!”

My health plummeted instantly, and the accumulated stun value exploded all at once, leaving me unable to get up from the ground.

I couldn’t even move a fingertip.

The Deviljho’s follow-up tail attack dropped my health to 10%, and only then did the stun wear off.

“Whew, that was close…”

I sheathed my weapon and ran as fast as I could, chugging a potion when a whisper came through.

I don’t know why they whispered to me, but the timing was impeccable.

I quickly fled, writing down my server code and sending it to Jindaru-ssi.

Before long, Jindaru-ssi arrived in front of me.

“Whoa… I mean, what a size…”

Jindaru-ssi, the hardcore player, saw the Deviljho chasing me and started spacing out.

Seeing Jindaru-ssi’s reaction, it was clear that the Deviljho chasing me wasn’t just big, it was freaking huge.

Probably a maximum Gold Crown size.

You might ask what a Gold Crown is, but in Monster Hunter, monsters don’t always appear the same size.

Their size changes randomly each time they appear; the smaller the size, the lower the health, and the larger the size, the higher the health.

The smallest and largest sizes are Gold Crowns, and the next smallest or largest are Silver Crowns, and so on.

In other words, the Deviljho trying to kill me right now is a Gold Crown. The maximum size.

So much so that Jindaru-ssi, a hardcore player, was spacing out.

But this is no time for that.

“Don’t just stand there, help me!!!”

“Ah, understood!”

Jindaru-ssi pulled out the slender sword he was carrying and charged at the Deviljho.

Pa-eok!

“Kkuek!”

“…?”

Jindaru-ssi, who had been charging in so coolly, got hit by the Deviljho’s massive tail and went flying far away anyway.

==

Jindaru-ssi got up while drinking a recovery potion.

“This is insane… how big is this thing…!”

The Deviljho’s attack range was on a completely different level from what he usually expected.

He had hunted over 200 Deviljhos so far. He could make mistakes in hunting, but he would never misjudge the attack range.

This one seemed almost 1.5 times bigger than the biggest Deviljho he had ever faced.

That’s why he couldn’t dodge the tail swing that should have missed by a mile and got hit.

Ku-gung!

Kuo-ooooooo!!!

“Crap!”

Jindaru-ssi hurriedly snapped out of it and ran towards the sound of the fight.

‘I need to recognize that the attack range is larger than usual!’

“Euaooo…!”

“A struggle of strength…!”

Arang-nim was in a struggle of strength with the Deviljho, which could step on someone and not even notice.

The gigantic Deviljho, with teeth the size of a child, was opening its mouth to devour Arang-nim, and Arang-nim was using his massive greatsword to block the Deviljho’s tooth attacks.

A struggle of strength.

When a monster and a hunter meet certain conditions, they begin to struggle against each other. The monster is fixed for a long time during the struggle and the resulting stiffness upon victory, providing a system that allows for damage dealing time in multiplayer.

The problem is that the struggle of strength has become a rather difficult system since the transition to VR.

In a situation where you are struggling right in front of you, the sense of intimidation and fear, and the overwhelming size and power of the monster, make it difficult for even hardcore players to win the struggle.

But Arang-nim, with his overwhelming physique created by the absence of arms and legs, succeeded in the struggle of strength with the Deviljho.

Jindaru-ssi quickly began attacking the Deviljho with his katana, and Arang-nim naturally won the struggle and knocked the Deviljho over.

Starting with the struggle of strength, Arang-nim and Jindaru-ssi moved to hunt the Deviljho.

‘That real physique is insane.’

Jindaru-ssi, who was attacking the Deviljho in cooperation with Arang-nim, was amazed by Arang-nim’s crazy physique.

‘That has to be an athlete, no matter how you look at it.’

He controls a body that looks over 180cm with ease and uses the greatsword perfectly.

Since the transition to VR, the greatsword has become a weapon that many people have given up on, saying it is difficult.

Due to high-performance AI, monsters no longer use only fixed attack patterns like before, but act and attack like real living creatures, making the greatsword, with its long wind-up and recovery times, a weapon that many people avoid.

‘To be able to fight the Deviljho to this extent, even though it hasn’t been long since he started the game, with just his physique and sense.’

Even though he had hunted over 200 Deviljhos, he felt quite overwhelmed by the insanely large Deviljho, but the chicken without leg wings was calmly hunting the Deviljho.

‘But his greatsword play doesn’t seem that great.’

Unlike the occasional sensible actions he shows, the way he operates the greatsword is too funny.

It is true that the True Charged Slash is a very powerful attack, but there are so many things that have to happen in the process that it is very difficult to hit.

Therefore, it is common to use the True Charged Slash only when the monster is in a state where it is guaranteed to hit, such as when it is in a state of groggy, stunned, or trapped.

However, some users use the so-called “prayer meta.”

They just pray that they will get hit when they are about to be hit and use the True Charged Slash.

But the Deviljho is a tricky monster to use the prayer meta on.

There is a reason why people call it the crazy Deviljho.

==

‘Crazy bastard…!’

It’s too damn big.

The Deviljho is so big that the greatsword doesn’t even reach the Deviljho’s head in a one-sided situation.

Because of that, it took almost 40 minutes to catch the Deviljho.

But the sense of accomplishment when Jindaru-ssi’s attack and my attack cut off the Deviljho’s breath at the same time at the end is indescribable.

“Whew… as expected, the maximum size Gold Crown. Chicken-nim without leg wings, you worked hard.”

“Thank you for your help.”

I would never have been able to catch it alone.

Come to think of it, why did Jindaru-ssi send me a whisper?

“But why did you send me a whisper?”

“Ah, that’s right. That’s not the reason, but-“

“Huh…?”

Listening to Jindaru-ssi, he said that suddenly people gathered on his broadcast and asked about me.

Jindaru-ssi guesses that it’s because of my nickname, but what’s wrong with my nickname?

Honestly, I made it pretty carelessly, but I don’t think it’s a nickname that would get me cursed at by other people?

I guess I can’t understand internet people after all.

Chicken without leg wings.

It’s just a nickname that came to mind because I don’t have arms and legs on chicken breast chicken.

“I’m sorry. I tried to do something about it, but there were too many people, so I couldn’t handle it even if I tried.”

“It’s okay. You don’t have to worry.”

“I’m really sorry. If there’s anything I can do to help, please contact me.”

“Okay.”

Anyway, people who complain about my nickname are just cursing on the keyboard, what else would they do?

That’s what I thought, but I realized that people are crazier than I thought.

I don’t know how they knew or how they did it, but friend requests started pouring in like crazy.

‘Was I exposed on Jindaru-ssi’s broadcast?’

On top of that, I opened the server without thinking and when they came into Monster Hunter, they started subtly interfering with my hunting, and they subtly dragged other monsters in, etc. They didn’t directly interfere, but they subtly interfered as if it was a mistake so I couldn’t say anything.

It’s like they’re not making me a bully, but making me an outcast?

At first, I just let it go, but as this continued, I slowly started to get annoyed.

It’s hard to control my emotions during my period, and when something like this happens, I get a little angry.

I don’t think all internet people are sane.

They leave malicious comments, curse, and criticize under the guise of anonymity… ha…

[Arang-nim has found out.]

Arms and legs, Arang-nim has finally found out about the chicken without leg wings.

Judging from the post, the chicken without leg wings seems to have caused even more emotional damage.

We need to make the chicken without leg wings change its nickname quickly.

Arang-nim, who hardly ever gets annoyed, is saying that she’s angry, so it must be really serious.

We need to make the chicken without leg wings change its nickname quickly.

We need to do something quickly. But how? This is Monster Hunter, which is possible solo

ㄴThat’s the problem. There’s no way to contact them.

Sometimes they open multiplayer without thinking, and I’ve tried to find them by searching for random servers. I harassed them a lot then

ㄴAh, you just randomly search and find them? Isn’t that a lot of manual labor?

ㄴI’ll endure that manual labor for our Arang-nim

ㄴThis guy is really crazy lol
