Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 6.2

Thanks to leveling up, my agility was high, but that only meant increased speed.

With a different skill, I might have been able to jump high, but I lacked such a skill. I could only move horizontally, not vertically.

It realized this immediately. This giant black wolf recognized me as an enemy, not underestimating me.

Given that I had defeated its underlings alone, it wasn’t surprising.

Initially, it used its minions to attack the village, showing its cowardly nature.

I continued to dodge its sweeping attacks, trying to find a chance to strike at its eyes. If I could just get that chance…

As I dodged and waited for an opening, suddenly—

A sharp pain shot through my eyes.

What is this…? No way! It deliberately kept sweeping the ground to raise dust, knowing I would dodge its attacks due to my speed!?

Blinded by the pain, I felt the giant black wolf’s real attack closing in.

However, before I could react, I felt the impact as my body was struck.

I was blown away, bouncing several times on the ground as I rolled.

The intense pain I felt was unlike anything I had ever experienced in my life, and I regretted my foolishness.

I knew this was reality, but still, I treated the battle as if it were just a game. Reality isn’t that simple…

“It hurts…”

Being blown away allowed me to barely regain my sight.

My whole body was battered, and I felt like several bones were broken.

The giant black wolf approached slowly, with a wicked smile, looking down at me arrogantly.

““Beryl!”” I heard my parents’ voices shouting from behind me.

…If I give up now, everyone in the village, not just my parents, will be killed.

“Giant black wolf… why don’t you kill me immediately? Don’t you know that such arrogance can be your downfall?”

“Graaaah,” it growled, seemingly mocking me.

“You might not know, but… the moment you think you’ve won is the most dangerous. That’s—your downfall!”

I lifted my scythe—and stabbed it into my own chest.

“Secret Technique! Reaper’s Awakening!”

A sinister aura rose from my body, enveloping me in a mix of red and black. The gardening scythe in my right hand transformed into a black scythe of death.

“I’ll finish this in one strike!”

I’ll protect my family. No matter what.

With my enhanced physical abilities, I closed the distance in an instant.

I leaped towards the still-complacent giant black wolf’s face.

Time seemed to slow down, and before the wolf could even track my movement with its eyes, I delivered a full-force slash to its left eye.

I cut through the hide that I couldn’t even scratch earlier.

“Gyaaaaah!”

The giant black wolf’s smug expression turned to one of agony as it writhed in pain.

That’s why I said it. The moment you think you’ve won is the most dangerous.

I moved to deliver the finishing blow, but the aura enveloping me vanished.

Damn… I only used it for a few seconds… This technique depends on my level… Damn it… My level is too low to sustain it for long…

I lost strength, watching the writhing wolf glare at me one last time before fleeing.

Turning towards the voices calling my name from behind, I saw my mother crying again…

I gave them a thumbs-up before surrendering to the fading consciousness.
