I Login Alone

Episode 66.

[The thunder god Laia recognized you. The concentration of mana in the temple has increased, and the guardians have been strengthened.]

[The temple is partially destroyed, so the blessing will not fully work. The more the temple is destroyed, the less the blessing.]

“Oh, my God.”

Jung Si-woo was frustrated at the dilemma he faced.

“Aren’t stronger monsters supposed to come out the more you destroy the temple?”

“I knew you’d be disappointed about that.”

However, whether the blessing was strengthened or weakened, he now had to deal with the enemy in front of them. A few Lizardmen rushed inside to protect the basement, and a huge snake appeared to have been in the basement from the beginning!

“What is that? Is it like a giant snake?”

“It’s not just a snake. It has small scales and somehow looks slippery…wait, it can’t be.”

[Gyaaaaak!]

That moment, the bluish light of electricity ran through his whole body, spewing lightning at Jung Si-woo a second later! He threw his body to the side to avoid it as he shouted.

“It’s not a snake. It’s an eel!”

An electric eel, too!

“Oh, wait a minute. Can we catch it and eat it then?”

“Don’t think about that, seriously!”

The protection of the thunder god Laia was scattered throughout the temple, and the size of the giant electric eel guarding the underground warehouse was getting larger. The relatively less protected Lizardmen were also rushing to Jung Si-woo while emitting small flashes of lightning from their bodies!

[You can’t move forward from here!]

[Those who do not pay their respects to the thunder god will not be allowed!]

[Die!]

Of course, a little strengthening didn’t mean that they were a threat to Jung Si-woo. They were strengthened from level 160 to 180, but it felt like ordinary ants evolving into ordinary warts.

“Let’s clean up a little bit.”

[Kahak!]

Jung Si-woo held out the front paw and bounced it off the Lizardmen attacking him. Despite their strengthening, they exploded from the heavy blows and were horribly beaten to death.

“That’s a way to do it…”

“It’s nice and neat.”

As soon as the hammer turned huge, the handle increased to five times in length, and the additional head area lengthened to more than a few meters. Dozens of meters would be an exaggeration, but it could hit an enemy within a range of 10 meters! The effect was perfect.

Ggyaaaaaa!]

Unlike the Lizardmen, the eel didn’t seem to have the ability to communicate its mind. Jung Si-woo thought for a moment that he might’ve also been human or another race in the past, but he stopped worrying about it. His whole body was emitting electric light.

“Oppa, lightning again!”

“You guys stay away from here.”

Jung Si-woo avoided the lightning at first because his whole body was on high alert with the unidentified enemy in front of him, but he couldn’t

maintain that much tension throughout the entire battle. Its lightning was faster and more powerful than any other Lizardman or wizard that he encountered in the underground temple.

“Let’s stop him for now!”

Caina was always an easy pick at times like this. He seized the space and summoned Caina while the lightning was heading towards him. The lightning was concentrated on frying the Dullahan’s head. Eventually, the helmet was even broken!

“Oh, I’m sorry! I’m so sorry, Caina!”

Jung Si-woo hurried to retrieve Caina’s Malice and put it back into his inventory. He shouldn’t have done anything to test the power of the helmet! The important question for Jung Si-woo now was whether the helmet would recover if he put Dullahan’s head inside the drawer of his resting place. But wouldn’t it recover since it’s treated as an artifact? No, if that doesn’t work, get another helmet…

“Oppa, it’s coming for you!”

“I know!”

That’s that, and an eel is an eel. Still, the sacrifice of Caina’s malice didn’t go to waste. The second lightning was weaker compared to the first one. Jung Si-woo was able to avoid it and get closer to the electric eel. Its whole body was turning blue as if it was going to fire lightning again, but the speed was slower than before as the delay was increasing every time it fired lightning.

“Just one shot!”

[Kugyaaaaaaaa!]

Jung Si-woo hit its body with his hammer as the distance narrowed. His powerful blow to the torso tore at its slippery skin and revealed its red flesh and splashing blood. However, as soon as he hit the eel, an electric current ran through Jung Si-woo’s entire body. The lightning was more damaging this time!

“Eugyagya.”

“Oppa!”

[Shaaaaaaa!]

Soo Ah-rin, who was waiting far away, hurriedly reached out and performed a state release magic. Jung Si-woo, who was paralyzed by the current, succeeded in ducking back just before the eel’s tail hit him. However, due to the aftereffects of the lightning, his whole body was still slightly shaking.

“Damn it, that friggin’ stung!”

It was incomparable to the destructive power of the Lizardmen. It was so great that it was clear why it was chosen by the thunder god to serve as a watchman…but on the other hand, it also meant that even its lightning couldn’t cause fatal injury to Jung Si-woo.

‘On the other hand, that blow.’

Jung Si-woo’s blow hit exactly where there were no scales, bursting its abdomen and making it bleed. Although he managed a powerful strike, it achieved more than expected. In other words, its ability to deal with lightning was great, but its defense skills weren’t good. More than anything, the fact that it couldn’t break the floor with its tail made Jung Si-woo think that the attack power of the body itself was much weaker than his.

Then what was the conclusion? He somehow quickly attacked and killed the eel before he’s fried in lightning. It sounded very ignorant, but in fact, it really was an ignorant conclusion!

“Hmph, I can’t help it. Ah-rin, please heal me. Ohhhhh!”

[Gyaaaaaaaa!]

While he was making his conclusion, lightning charged at him again and hit him again! Of course, it was still impossible to stop the current from flowing through his body.

“Eugyagyag!”

“Is that the only way!?”

“If I want to attack it without getting too near, I would use Caina or my Rifle. But Caina’s helmet is already broken, and I don’t want to use the Rifle because I’m dealing with lightning!”

Maybe it’ll boost its power! It was Jung Si-woo who claimed with his intuition that he wouldn’t see a good outcome if he ran around with a weapon containing the gods blessing inside the temple.

“Keuaaaa!”

However, Jung Si-woo possessed the Courage of the Ignorant skill. As soon as the paralysis symptoms disappeared thanks to Soo Ah-rin’s magic, he roared as if he were trying to forget the pain. He alternated the two hammers in his hands and struck the eel again. Although the lightning-caused terrible pain and paralysis to his body, he patiently dealt with it using Stone Skin. In addition, when Soo Ah-rin’s healing magic started to work, he gained the power to swing his hammer again.

“Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell!”

[Kyahaaaa!]

Jung Si-woo was beating the eel-like a madman. Every time his hammer hit the eel, the sound of a beating drum and the current flowing harmonized together. Blue lightning sparks splashed out, and there was electricity flowing through the blood that was splattering everywhere. The whole area was engulfed in blue electric light, creating a horrifying scene.

“That’s cool, Hyeong-nim!”

“Where on hell did you learn that stage show?”

[Gyaaaa! Kugyaaaaa!]

Even the electric eel wouldn’t have known that Jung Si-woo would come at it with the risk of pain. When he narrowed the distance and hit the opponent’s body, it was twisting and swung its tail to hit him, not knowing what to do with the pain it was feeling for the first time. However, his tail attack was itchy compared to the electric shock. Jung Si-woo almost got hit when it was struggling desperately, but he didn’t take a step back and continued to swing his hammer.

“Oppa, I can’t use magic anymore!”

On the other hand, Soo Ah-rin clenched her teeth as she used both healing magic and state release magic at the same time, bringing Jung Si-woo back to normal. The battle had to end before his mana was out!

“Don’t worry. It’s almost over!”

Was it because he got used to the lightning, or was it because the eel’s mana was consumed by the consecutive lightning strikes? Jung Si-woo was now able to attack him without shaking even after being directly hit by lightning. However, just as Jung Si-woo realized that his mana was concentrated in his body and created a sparkling star.

[Generated passive skill – Lightning resistance by permanently consuming two magic power.]

[The lightning resistance skill has become Lv3.]

“What, resistant to it?!”

“That means you’ve learned how to reduce damage instinctively by repeating the process of recovering from the lightning attacks!”

It wasn’t about achievements or dungeon clear compensation, but you could learn to be resistant just by being struck by lightning and recovering from it? If Jung Si-woo weren’t attacking the temple of the lightning god, Laia, the god would’ve been moved by Jung Si-woo’s ability and try to bless him.

“Whoaaaaaaa!”

[Kyag, kyaag! Kyaaaaag!]

After gaining resistance to the lightning, Jung Si-woo’s movement held no more hesitation. By level 3 of lightning resistance skill, he couldn’t reduce the damage much, but the stiffness caused by the lightning strikes had been significantly reduced. So he swung the hammer continuously, ignoring the eel’s counterattack.

[Kig, kihig…]

Even if he was blessed by the lightning god’s grandfather, there was no way out of the angry Jung Si-woo’s path. The eel struggled somehow to defeat him, but neither physical attacks nor lightning worked on him, and eventually, it collapsed. Soon after, its enormous mana flowed into Jung Si-woo and strengthened his body and mana. Of course, he leveled up.

[3 Levels raised]

[Lightning resistance Lv4]

“Ah.”

Perhaps if the level had not risen, Jung Si-woo might have fallen behind the eel. Feeling that the rising levels of his skills had resolved the damage accumulated by the repeated lightning attacks, Jung Si-woo murmured with a refreshed sigh.

“This was so much fun.”

“Is this fun? Huh? Is this fun!? We almost died!”

“Hey, this won’t kill us. This was easier than Dullahan.”

“Dullahan wasn’t that hard to defeat!”

“No, listen carefully.”

Jung Si-woo had one standard for judging risks. Was there a chance or not that he would die in one shot? There was such a chance when he fought Dullahan, so he fought as carefully as he could, but this time he endured it with his body because there was no possibility of dying.

“If that’s your standard, you probably won’t have many difficult battles in the future…”

“I think so. Ah-rin, do you want to drink the mana potion?

“I already leveled up at the same time as you!”

Jung Si-woo retrieved the body of the giant eel into his inventory. It was such a huge monster that it occupied a lot of the inventory compartments, but he didn’t want to leave it behind.

“This eel will be our meal for the day.”

“Can we have a drink, Hyeong-nim?”

“Se-ha, you know something.”

“They really want to eat it…let’s get into the other warehouse before this one collapses.”

In the course of the battle between Jung Si-woo and the eel, the warehouse was in danger of collapsing. There was nothing safe around here, and only the underground warehouse, which seemed to be built with stronger materials, was still standing. Soon, all the ceilings that separated the basement and the first floor would collapse. Jung Si-woo agreed with Soo Ah-rin’s idea that he should check the warehouse before other Lizardmen arrived.

“Then, open the gate…hm?”

The door to the underground warehouse opened.

A blue-colored altar resided in it.
