A sudden shock came from behind.
"Ugh!"
Dohyuk, who was taking a break, moaned. Someone had snuck into the rocky area and thrown a boulder the size of a small child at Dohyuk. It directly hit Dohyuk's back.
"You're a fool for sitting like a dumb duck!"
The ambusher quickly ran up to Dohyuk and kicked him. It would be a critical blow if it connected, but...
"Huh?"
Dohyuk quickly dodged the attack. It wasn't a move from a novice and Dohyuk was able to land a kick on the man.
"ARGH!"
He quickly blocked it with both his arms, but he was pushed back. Dohyuk's 'Strength' was that much stronger and so was his 'Stamina'. By consuming the necklace, he had 'Damage Nullification' that absorbed half of the damage from the boulder.
"You…!"
The man tried frantically to attack, to which Dohyuk dodged and struck back. After a few more exchanges, the man realized that Dohyuk was practicing as he had superior stats and skills. However, he needed experience to utilize it. That was why he was now focusing on practicing against 'weaker' opponents when he had a chance.
The result was made due to the difference in 'Stamina'.
"Ugh…"
The kick hit the man's stomach and he buckled to the ground. Before he slumped down, he got up and began running away. Dohyuk did not chase after him. He had earned his purpose.
-AAAAAARGH!
And a scream came from a distance. Dohyuk then picked up the pocket from the ground. It was what the man dropped during the fight.
'…He was foolish.'
He took the cube out and checked the time.
[Remaining hours: 35:39:02]
'I should be more careful. It would have killed me if he was stronger.'
Dohyuk opened his cube pocket and added the new one into it. It was now 7th cube in the pocket. This was his 'savings' per se. There was a part of it within the desert that had hidden aspects. It would be an idea to go after it but… this was what the angel said:
-And when that time comes, we will give you coins in regards to how many hours you have left in that freshener. The less you use it, the more coins you get.
Considering the amount of time that was left, he'd gain more coins.
'I'm just guessing but… the ones coming here are weak or who are not so sure.'
For a few hours, the six people he had beaten were those with no special weapons. These people were those that had lost against the competition or they were cowards who were trying to find a safe place to maintain the time on their cube. Dohyuk wasn't too clear with the details, however.
'I'll wait.'
He'd hunt the weak ones that he could hunt without fail. This was Dohyuk's way to ensure his survival. He now learned that he had to be alert at all times for any unexpected prey.
And then, there was a new prey. Dohyuk silently rose up.
