He did not know if it was summer. Not only was the sun very strong, but the temperature was also quite high.
Shien, who was shuttling through the forest, swung the holy sword with difficulty. While chopping away the obstructing weeds and branches, he was panting and sweating profusely.
"It's so hot …"
Shien moaned weakly, but he did not stop and continued on his way.
As he went deeper into the forest, Shien felt that it was more and more dangerous.
"I don't hear any birds or beasts at all …"
Shien had a bad feeling, which made him want to leave this area as soon as possible.
In particular, the ominous premonition was getting stronger and stronger, to the extent that it gradually made Sean feel uneasy.
Then, at a certain moment, a message suddenly appeared in Shien's mind.
[Obtained skill – [Enemy Sense] – learn? [Obtained skill — Enemy Sense — learn?]
Shien could not help but be slightly stunned.
"I obtained a new skill just like that?"
While Shien was surprised, he did not hesitate and immediately chose to learn it.
At this moment, the bad feeling from before seemed to have turned into a real warning sign, surging into Shien's mind.
Shien only felt a headache and a chill on his back. Then, as if he had vaguely sensed something, he suddenly turned around and looked at the sky.
"Swoosh!"
The sound of something piercing through the air suddenly came.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound rang out like an explosion.
Shien only felt as if he had been hit by a heavy mountain. He did not even have the chance to groan as his entire body was sent flying, crashing into the trunk of a tree like a cannonball, breaking the tree.
"Ugh …"
Only then did Shien feel a dull pain in his chest, causing him to cry out.
[Obtained skill – [Physical Resistance] – Learn? [Obtained skill — Physical Resistance — learn?]
As new information surged into his mind, Shien was still in a daze.
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
"I've been attacked?"
Shien, who slid down the tree trunk to the ground, did not react at all.
And the amazing thing was that although he had clearly encountered an attack that could have sent him flying and smashed the tree, Shien did not suffer much damage. He only felt a little stuffy in his chest.
When Shien finally reacted, he did not know if it was the effect of the Enemy Sense skill, but he clearly sensed the location of the existence that attacked him, causing him to hurriedly climb up from the ground and look up.
With this look, Shien froze.
This was because what appeared in front of him was surreal.
"Guji!"
A voice filled with hostility resounded in the sky and lingered for a long time.
A huge shadow descended from the sky and appeared in front of Sean.
It was a bird.
It was a black bird with a snake body, bird wings, and a human face. It was extremely large, with a wingspan of ten meters. It looked extremely strange and evil.
Just now, it seemed that this huge bird fell from the sky, attacked Shien, and sent Shien flying.
Now, this bird was still staring at Shien with a pair of bloodshot eyes, telling Shien that it did not intend to let go of the prey in front of it.
"Hahaha …"
Shien couldn't help but laugh.
There was no other way.
"Isn't this joke a bit too big?"
After meeting the goddess, he was reincarnated into a different world, thrown into the forest alone, and then immediately encountered a strange monster's attack?
This unfolded …
"How cliché!"
"Guji!"
Shien's cursing and the bird's cry burst out at the same time.
Then, the bird turned into a black shadow again, broke through the air, and attacked Shien.
"…!"
Shien only felt that the skill [Enemy Sense] gave him a warning, so he didn't think about it and ignored his image and rolled to the side.
"Bang!"
A muffled sound rang out again.
The tree that Sean had just crashed into was directly smashed by the raptor, turning into sawdust and debris that flew all over the sky and kept flying.
[Obtained skill [Evasion] – do you want to learn? ]
Sean, who was rolling on the ground in a sorry state, received new information in his mind.
"Learn! Learn! "
Without thinking, Shien agreed frantically.
In a critical moment, this skill was definitely used to save lives.
Therefore, Shien, who didn't care too much, learned the [Physical Resistance] skill that he had just obtained and the [Evasion] skill that he had just obtained.
"Guji!"
On the other side, the bird that smashed the tree flew back into the air, as if it was angry at its failed attack and angry at Shien for resisting. After a cry, it spat out a bolt of lightning in Shien's direction.
The lightning seemed to be able to burn people's eyeballs. Shien, who had just climbed up, only felt his vision go white, and he was instantly hit.
"Boom!"
The lightning hit the place where Shien was, causing an explosion and blasting Shien away, turning Shien into a rolling gourd.
[Obtained skill [Magic Resistance] – do you want to learn? ]
Another new skill was obtained.
"Cough …!"
Shien, who had turned into a rolling gourd, coughed violently. As before, he learned the new skill without any hesitation.
And this time was the same. Although he was hit by the lightning, Shien still didn't suffer much damage. He only felt pain all over his body.
At this point, Shien understood what was going on.
"Is this the power of the holy sword?"
Shien was lying on the ground covered in dust, and his eyes turned to the holy sword that had been tightly held in his hand.
The holy sword was flowing with a bright light and gorgeous color, just like in the beginning.
Because the holy sword had the effect of reducing any type of damage by 99%, Shien was still unscathed until now, right?
"Guji! Guji! "
The bird in the air didn't know all this. It looked at Shien, who was lying on the ground, looking like he was dying, but in fact, not even a drop of blood was shed. It let out a series of angry cries.
Presumably, the other party didn't expect that the prey that it had found with great difficulty would still be unable to be taken down.
Therefore, the bird swooped down, as if it wanted to completely finish off Shien, and its whole body surged with fierce fluctuations.
Watching this scene unfold, Sean's heart also burst forth with a sense of determination.
"Don't think that I won't fight back!"
Facing the ferocious figure that fell from the sky like a nightmare, Shien clenched the holy sword and struggled to stand up.
"Clang!"
The radiance that was originally flowing quietly on the resplendent holy sword suddenly flourished and shone brightly.
An amazing power flowed from the holy sword into Shien's body.
Just like that, Shien raised the holy sword and faced the ferocious figure in the sky.
Then …
[Obtained skill [Two-Handed Sword] – do you want to learn? ]
Without a doubt, Shien chose to learn.
