Chapter 178: Doppelgänger (1)
In the Forest of the Labyrinth, there resides a boss called the Doppelgänger.
Its attack power is not that strong, but it’s a troublesome opponent.
‘Of course, only for those who are encountering it for the first time.’
However, Ryu Min had faced and killed the Doppelgänger countless times.
It was so weak that he didn’t even need to remember how many times he had killed it.
‘With the combo of Crimson Moon and Moonlight Slash, it’s an easy target.’
But Ryu Min had no intention of killing the Doppelgänger himself.
“You should be the one to kill the Doppelgänger.”
“M-me?”
He instructed Ju Seong-tak, who was following behind him, on the strategy to defeat the Doppelgänger.
It was a simple strategy, so Ju Seong-tak could easily nod in agreement.
“Got it? Just do as I said, and you’ll capture it without any problems.”
“Yes. Don’t worry. I won’t disappoint you, master.”
“I hope so.”
At that moment, a monster appeared before Ryu Min for the first time.
Wriggle, wriggle—
It was a venomous slime, commonly found in the Forest of the Labyrinth.
This was also a sign that they were getting closer to the Doppelgänger’s habitat.
“I’ll handle this one since I’m giving up the boss.”
To gain even a little bit of points, Ryu Min stepped forward with his scythe.
Slash—!
He cut it in half before it could spread its venom.
Wriggle, wriggle—
Instead, the slime doubled in number.
‘As expected, physical attacks don’t work.’
The more you cut slimes, the more they multiply.
Annoying as it was, he had no choice but to use magic.
Crackle, crackle—
Holding a scythe in one hand, he generated an electric current with the other.
“Shoot.”
Crackle, crackle, sizzle—!
The slime that was directly hit by the electric current burned away without a trace.
Slimes were immune to physical attacks but took critical damage from magic attacks.
However, no message appeared for killing just one.
The appearance of slimes had decreased, indicating they were almost there.
That’s when—
“Is anyone there? Please help!”
A thin, high-pitched voice called from beyond the forest.
Following the sound, they found a woman leaning against a tree, gasping for breath.
“Huff, huff... someone, please... ah!”
Seeing Ryu Min and Ju Seong-tak, the woman brightened.
“T-Thanks God! I’m S-saved! I’m not the only one here!”
The woman, dressed like a player, tried to stand up in relief but fell back with a groan.
“Ugh... excuse me, can you help me? I can’t get up. I hurt my ankle...”
“What happened?”
“I was attacked by a slime. My foot hurts so much I can’t move.”
Her swollen, blue ankle looked like it had been poisoned.
“Hm. Looks like you can’t move.”
“It hurts so much, sob.”
“What do you want me to do?”
Sensing Ryu Min’s indifferent response, the woman became desperate.
“Please, help me get out of here. I’ll do anything. Please.”
“Anything?”
“Yes! Anything. I-I’m embarrassed to say, but if you have desires... I can satisfy them...”
“No need for that. Can you give me all your items?”
“Items? Of course!”
The woman opened her inventory and pulled out some items.
There were a few unique materials and a high-grade magic stone.
“I’ll give you these for now. I’ll give you the rest once I’m saved. How about that?”
“Fine.”
Though he agreed, Ryu Min didn’t even look at the items.
He simply approached her with his scythe.
“What are you...?”
And before she could react, he beheaded her.
Thud—!
Her head, with a shocked expression, rolled on the ground.
