A Frontline Soldier Awakened as a Gamer In The War!

‘I can do this. I need to provoke him a bit more to get him excited.’

At the moment, it seemed like dealing with the thorn monster was the only concern.

The tentacle monster, whatever it was doing, didn’t even turn its head despite its comrades being killed.

“I will kill you!”

Kaiyan’s provocation seemed to have hit the rock-like monster just right. It lowered its posture and inflated the protrusions on its back.

“If I stay calm, I can definitely win.”

Kaiyan calmed his mind and heightened his senses to the extreme. Whatever attack it might launch, he was ready to defend against it.

The creature, after inflating the protrusions to human size, stood up again. Its size was substantial, but its multiple protrusions on the back made it look very peculiar.

“What’s going on?”

Kaiyan was about to ask what the sound was when his heightened senses began to tremble uncontrollably as if the black mass from Panielun Fortress had arrived again.

“…I haven’t seen any attacks coming.”

No matter how he looked at it, there seemed to be no signs of an attack from the creature, except for the fact that the inflated protrusions had burst.

“Kaiyan! It’s poison!”

At that moment, Rieka’s voice, who had been prepared to use a magic scroll at any time, echoed from the surroundings.

“Poison?”

“Haha! You noticed, did you?”

Recognizing it as poison and surveying the area, the air indeed had a slightly sickly color. Black particles floated in the atmosphere as if dust was blowing in the wind.

“But it’s already too late! My poison has spread everywhere! Even if you inhale a bit, you’ll be in excruciating pain and won’t be able to die even if you want to!”

“…What happens if it touches the skin?”

Asking an inappropriate question given the current situation, the creature looked at him strangely and burst into laughter again.

“Haha! Trying to hold your breath? You fool! My poison is different from the poison used by humans! The moment it touches your skin, it will poison you!”

“…Thanks for letting me know.”

Watching him, Kaiyan quickly called up the shop window and purchased a transparent mask, putting it on his face.

The main function of the transparent mask was odor blocking, but Riaka had told him that the way it blocked odors was by blocking everything except the substances the user needed.

So naturally, it should block any poison that I didn’t need.

“In that case, it doesn’t matter if it doesn’t touch my skin or gets inside my body.”

When the monster saw Kaiyan smiling, it shot him a skeptical look.

“Do you really think that’s possible?”

“Absolutely possible. If this attack was all that you had…”

As he spoke, Kaiyan expelled the aura contained within him, enveloping his entire body. It was a technique he had learned from the Advanced Aura Manual, something he had known in theory but had never attempted before.

The reason for not using it until now was the disproportionately high aura consumption compared to its minimal effectiveness. However, in this situation, it was the optimal way to protect himself.

“It’s your turn to die! Hah!”

With a powerful step forward, Kaiyan charged toward the monster, who seemed taken aback, swinging his arms in a panic.

Whoosh!

“He’s slower! Clearly, his physical abilities are inferior to Muliaron’s!”

If that was the case, he would be an easy opponent for Kaiyan. This one’s physique was weaker than Muliaron’s, after all. It seemed that these creatures had a different body structure than humans, despite their somewhat human-like appearance.

“Powerful downward strike!”

Kaiyan pulled out the sword and swung it towards his head. The monster desperately raised his arms to shield his face.

Splat!

The massive two arms were nearly severed by a single sword strike. The monster, originally weaker in physical ability than Muliaron, was no match for Kaiyan. Perhaps it would have been different if he had used a different ability instead of poison.

“Kwaaah!”

As the monster screamed in pain, Kaiyan continued to swing his sword relentlessly, without mercy.

With each pass of the sword, black blood sprayed out like a fountain from it.

“Why… Why won’t you die? You must have inhaled my poison!”

“inhaled your poison? Who did? It wasn’t me!”

“That’s impossible! Canien! Help me! We need to team up to kill this guy!”

The monster, retreating desperately from Kaiyan’s sword, called for help, mentioning the name of the tentacle monster.

“I should have used Aura swing and finished this. If I fight both of them… the aura consumption would have been severe… but in an unavoidable situation, I’ll drink the elixir.”

Kaiyan wasn’t sure what abilities the tentacle monster had, but the aura he had already consumed while dealing with the two of them was more than half. If he used Aura swing in this state, his aura would be depleted in an instant.

Tensed up, Kaiyan looked at Canien, the tentacle monster, when it approached the thorn monster.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

“Why… why are you…?”

Canien, the tentacle monster, used its black tentacles to pierce through the injured thorn monster’s body. It happened in an instant.

“…Killed his comrade?”

In the face of this incomprehensible situation, Kaiyan paused for a moment. Canien, the creature, laughed with a chilling smile as it watched the thorn monster crumble under its tentacle assault.

“There weren’t enough sacrifices due to those knights, so I will use you instead.”
