Chapter 145
Shadow Shepherd King (1)
“Hoo.”
I took a deep breath and surveyed my surroundings.
The brightness was akin to that of a full moon, the floor was submerged in viscous darkness, and black smoke endlessly billowed.
‘This place is…’
An absolutely advantageous space for ambushes.
A place where Shepherds could unleash their inherent power without restraint.
Like a desert for Tae Yang-chang.
Also, a space like a forest for Eldrin.
However.
I didn’t blame the environment.
Without making excuses, I tried to adapt quickly.
“Heuup!”
Instinctively, I twirled the spear in my right hand once.
Whoosh!
My shoulder ached, and at the same time.
Thwack!
A heavy impact was felt throughout my body.
Grrrr…!
The guy who was hit and bounced back glared at me again.
Thick drool dripped from its mouth.
‘It doesn’t even whimper anymore.’
It had already been about 2 hours since I entered this place.
The Shepherds’ fighting spirit had intensified, perhaps because their level was significantly higher than those that appeared at the beginning.
Krrr! Bark! Bark!
As if they were enemies.
They didn’t back down even when hit, and the more I adapted, the more intensely they rushed at me.
But what comforted me despite that was.
“Hey, behind you!”
The fact that there was an Old Man giving me advice from the side.
Upgrading [Teachings of Supreme Art] was definitely a divine move.
Rather than getting stronger immediately with other skills.
A choice that amplified my growth rate, thinking about the future.
