Although I thought it was rude, I couldn’t easily erase my first impression that it was gloomy.

He was one hand taller than Park Jeong-woo. Reddish-black, curly hair grows all the way to the back. The corners of the eyes droop down. Dark purple eyes shining beneath them. The dot on the corner of the mouth creates a very bewitching atmosphere.

She was wearing a loose dress that reached down to her ankles, and the belt attached to the dress was tied quite tightly. The large breasts, which cannot be hidden even by wide-length clothes, contrast with the slim waist and show off their presence.

If you look at the outfit alone, it’s quite simple, but there’s subtle makeup and even slightly heeled shoes. To be objective, it was an outfit more suited to a resort rather than a gate.

The corners of the mouth are constantly moving up and down, and the plump, chapped lips are moistening from time to time. Although she showed behavior that was enough to be considered suspicious, Park Jeong-woo’s eyes were focused elsewhere.

“Wizard… !”

She was holding a wand of enormous length in her hand. The wooden stick, roughly as tall as she was, had a winding curve and a round end. A bright red gem in the center of the rolled up piece. It was an item that looked exactly like the staff I sometimes saw in interviews.

Hunters who mainly used magic were quite rare. Blessed unique ability or natural brain. In addition, he had to have excellent aptitude for magical power.

However, as rare as it was, it was also strong. Unlike other hunters who use magical power as an auxiliary means, he uses fantasy-like power most actively and diversely. He was the best at overcoming situations in unexpected ways.

Park Jeong-woo also had a romantic dream of becoming a wizard. Naturally, there was goodwill in his eyes as he looked at her.

“Yes… Wizard, that’s right… ”

He did not easily notice that the tail of her speech was drooping or that her breathing became increasingly rough as she looked at him. I became blind to the fact that the being I longed for was right in front of me.

That’s why he said there was no reason for a wizard with a dedicated weapon to be in a beginner’s area like this. He also erased the fact that she had been looking at him closely since the moment he came here.

Suddenly. Park Jeong-woo grabbed the woman’s empty hand. He was holding his strangely sweaty palms tightly with both hands, and his eyes were shining like a rabbit.

“I like it! No, rather, I would like to ask you a favor! My name is Park Jeong-woo!”

“Quit… .”

She applied so much force that the tendons on her thin neck popped out. The clown keeps twitching. However, in Park Jeong-woo’s eyes, it only looked great, as if it had gone through a filter.

The woman’s hand, held by two small hands, keeps trembling. She immediately joined hands as if shaking hands.

“I… This is Ha-yeon Moon. Please take care of me, Jeongwoo… .”

“Yes! Oh well, I’ll tell you that I’m joining the team! I’ll be back soon!”

While walking a distance of less than half a mile, I turn around five or six times. Waving her hands high in the air, as if she was worried that she might run away somewhere, she looked quite defenseless.

Looking at his completely turned back, she slowly raised her hand. As if trying to hold something in, raise your nails and press down on your lower abdomen. I try to keep the corners of my mouth that have risen to the edge of my cheekbones quiet.

After taking a moment to catch her breath, she raised her hand again. As if inhaling the fresh scent remaining in the palm of your hand. I cover my nose and mouth with my hands and inhale the breath. If Park Jeong-woo was a rabbit, she had a face exactly like a fox.

Goblins don’t eat humans.

There are various hypotheses, but the most influential analysis is that goblins and humans are so different in appearance that their aesthetic standards are also different.

Not only goblins, but most monsters did not have sexual desires for humans. Of course, there were often humans who viewed monsters as mating targets.

Anyway, that’s not what’s important. Goblins and humans look very different, at least by human standards. Goblins are ugly, stinky bastards.

“Ugh… !”

A dense forest spreads inside the gate. Even though the sunlight is clearly shining, the feeling of darkness cannot be completely erased. Every time the wind blows, the tree branches rustle and make an eerie sound. Now the noise of nature was being drowned out by the harsh gunshots.

bang! bang!!

Park Jeong-woo did not stop pulling the trigger even though it felt like his arm would fall off from the recoil. Since I had never practiced shooting a gun, my accuracy rate was poor.

There were goblin corpses all around him. Six, maybe seven. A desperate look appeared on Park Jeong-woo’s face as he fought to the death with the last remaining bastard.

The goblin wasn’t alright either. Red lines are drawn all over the body, as if a gun had grazed it. Red blood was dripping onto the green grass, and he was persistently swinging his bone dagger, aiming for the forearms and thighs that the gaiters and armor could not cover.

But it’s a little strange. Everyone lying on the floor had the same wounds. A single line piercing the temple. There were only scars caused by highly concentrated magical power, and there were no distinctive marks left by the gun.

“Jungwoo, cheer up… Left, left!”

Ha-yeon Moon holds the staff tightly with both hands and speaks in a fairly loud voice. It was quite funny to see them holding the staff and waving it as if they were cheering.

Her support did not reach Park Jeong-woo’s ears at all. It was because I was out of my mind. While he was looking away for a moment to check Moon Ha-yeon’s safety, the goblin’s dagger did not miss the opportunity and came straight into his arms.

Sigh!

“Qu… !”

Did they change their strategy by tightly blocking areas where there was no armor? The dagger with all its weight dug into the leather armor, tearing it apart. A burning pain arose in my side.

“Ugh, it hurts, it hurts… !”

Park Jeong-woo clenched his molars. The thought that he couldn’t die in a place like this made him desperate. Forcing myself to endure the pain of being stabbed for the first time in my life, I held the goblin’s arm tightly with my free hand.

“Cheer up, Jeongwoo, just stay strong!”

“Ugh!”

Kieeek!

It makes a sound closer to a scream than a cheer. The goblin also roared in response. It was because Park Jeong-woo’s finger had dug into the wound.

He forced his arms out. When the muzzle touches the chin, the goblin struggles and goes crazy. The dagger swung and shallowly cut into his skin.

It was not easy for my trembling fingers to gain strength. But I couldn’t just die in a place like this. He mustered up all his strength and barely pulled the trigger.

bang!

My ears, which were already numb from the dull gunshot, began to hurt even more. From the chin to the top of the head. The goblin, with a hole widening behind it, stumbled and soon fell down. Park Jeong-woo also. I couldn’t stand for long.

“Hey, Jeongwoo, are you okay?”

Ha-yeon Moon rushes over and helps Jeong-woo Park up. He had collapsed and was half stuck on the floor, creating a puddle of blood, so his clothes and half of his body were stained red.

“Ha, ha… I’m OK. Hayeon, where are you injured? .”

“This, this, poison… .”

She just lifted the bone dagger and showed it to Park Jeong-woo. The day was tinged with a faint green color. Why is the dagger not red even though it was obviously picked up from a floor covered in blood? Park Jeong-woo had no room left to doubt that.

Not a single ounce of strength goes into my entire body. After the burning pain that radiated from my stomach subsided, my limbs stretched out like wet cotton. Poison, is it the poison’s fault? Am I really going to die here? Even if the arm is useless, I can’t even use the S-class skills I’ve acquired. Are all my efforts here in vain?

“It’s okay, it’s okay, because I know the cure… I saw it on the way… No, let’s go to the main cave and get treatment, hehe… .”

“… Thank you, Hayeon… Seed… .”

Sniff, sniff.

I am filled with sadness. At the same time, a sense of relief came over him, and Park Jeong-woo shed tears without realizing it. I don’t want Moon Ha-yeon to see that, so I lower my head. Only a faint whimpering sound escaped.

Ha-yeon Moon was looking at Jeong-woo Park, whose head was hanging on her chest, and who was not even protesting even though he was being held up as if half-dragged.

She openly stuck out her tongue and moistened her dry lips. Walking with strange cross-legged legs. I didn’t feel any concern in her gaze as she looked down at Park Jeong-woo.

If Park Jeong-woo’s body had been fine, he wouldn’t have been too worried. This was because it was common knowledge that the goblin poison found in F-class dungeons was not that lethal.

A representative example is paralyzing poison. However, this poison is extremely crude. When blood flows slowly. In other words, it comes into full effect when tension is released.

It has no effect during battle. The effect is weak, so the only effect is that the whole body feels drowsy and lacks strength. Additionally, there was no need for any further decryption. It will heal quickly if you sit down and rest for a few minutes. To the point where there were people who deliberately harmed themselves with this poison in order to develop poison resistance.

This is true if you force yourself to move while the poison is in effect and do not intentionally spread the effect.

“Joe, I’ll walk a little faster… If you kill it late, it could be dangerous… .”

“Yes, yes, please… .”

Park Jeong-woo lost strength and forced his limp legs to move. Ha-yeon Moon is like watching a rabbit walking into a trap with its own feet. He was looking down at him with greedy eyes.
