“Sky! Look at the sky!”
“There are so many different things… . Those big guys flying around like that? Don’t be damned!”
“Sky! Take anti-aircraft fire!”
As soon as the giant concave fell, the sky instantly turned black, as if it had been waiting.
“What kind of bird is that…?”
“Prepare for anti-aircraft fire!”
shrike.
It is a very small bird with an original size of about 20cm. It is said that the sound is so unique that it is often confused with the evening cicada.
The body of the giant shrike that fills the sky is about 2 meters long. When its wings were fully spread, it was almost 3 meters long.
“It’s coming!”
And despite its cute appearance, the shrike’s habits are famous for being very cruel.
First, they catch their prey alive with their beak.
“Kaaa! My, my stomach… . It hurts! I feel like I’m going to die!”
“Uh, Mom… . mom! I don’t want to die like this… . Ahhh!”
Fuuuuk-!
Insert it alive into a tree branch or something.
The reason for this behavior is not well known. This is because there have been cases of some shrikes just watching their prey rot before their eyes.
“Shoot whoever you see!”
“Fuck—! I think I caught six, but it doesn’t go down!”
Even though it’s huge. There was no shrike that could survive a direct hit from a barrage of lead bullets. Every time the rifle rattled, several birds fell dead.
No soldiers were crushed to death by chunks of flesh falling from the sky, but the shooting was delayed due to the wind. Thanks to this, the shrike rushed even further.
“Damn it, engineering leader! It’s different from what I promised!”
“This can’t be happening. There’s no way so many people could die in just a D-class dungeon… .”
“Do something! You don’t want to die either!”
“This irresponsible bastard… . We’ll see when it goes out. I will beat up the number of people who died because of you. O Ignis!”
The full-scale counterattack did not begin until half of the raiding party was killed. The prophets who had been sitting on the sidelines until then began to show their power.
The reason they didn’t start a counterattack was because the shrike kept them in check by throwing rocks and logs at them. In the end, we were able to counterattack a little later.
” Use them as sparks and burn!”
A bright yellow fireball glowed in the hand of one of the three prophets, including Jeong Yu-jin, and soon soared into the sky and pierced the center of the group.
In other words, the fact that its entire body is covered in feathers also means that it is a mass of organic matter that is perfect for burning. Thus, even shrikes that were not directly exposed to the fire burned and plummeted to the ground.
“Those who survived get together and build an anti-aircraft network! Those bastards are in a mess!”
“Yes, yes!”
“Shoot, fuck! Just pour out all the bullets you have! Just pour out everything you have until you die!”
And that decision turned out to be the worst move.
“It comes again from the front!”
“What?!”
“Magpie… . No, not even crows! Argh! Fuck! How many are there?”
Birds commonly seen in Korea are tens or hundreds of times larger. They are rushing towards the front.
Even otherwise, the firepower was concentrated on anti-aircraft. I couldn’t focus on the enemy charging at me head on.
“It hurts!”
“Crow, it’s a crow! Pour bullets over there too!”
In the end, the birds crashed into the shooters head on. Literally annihilated. It’s like watching a swarm of ants being swept away by a child’s poured drink.
‘It’s going to turn.’
Jeong Yu-jin, who cut off the head of the approaching shrike, wiped the ax and looked around.
The defense has already completely collapsed. There is nowhere to run.
The gunner with the machine gun died first. A smart crow picks up dirt or a rock with its beak and throws it. Rushing towards you, blocking your view. The moment the gunner moved, it cut off his head with its beak.
‘Let’s just eat the relics and go back.’
I was just planning to eat the relics raw and take care of the by-products from the dungeon. Now that this was happening, I decided to move on to Plan B.
‘Mother, do any of them have any relics?’
[…] There you are! It’s at the entrance to the gate. They are probably planning to block the escape route.]
‘All right. Just tell us your location. I will kill him right away and absorb the power of the artifact.’
[Let it be so. It’s my child.]
There are now four people left. All of the shooters were either pinned to tree branches and dying, or had been eaten.
“Napoleon of the criminal world, give me a plan to deceive them!”
“Ignis, give me a spark to burn once again!”
Except for Jeong Yu-jin, the two people each activated their constellation abilities.
Huge flames engulfed the birds, exploding with each shot from the cane shotgun.
Surprisingly, the prophet’s firepower exceeded that of more than twenty gunners. They were so strong that birds could hardly come close to where the two were standing.
However, the points that could not demonstrate that much firepower gradually died out. Unlike other birds, the clever crow did not charge head-on, but instead raised dust to block its vision.
“Jeong Yu-jin. We will take care of the long distance. As long as you protect me, I will gladly wipe out those bastards.”
“I don’t think that will happen. I killed you earlier, and even if I kill you, it doesn’t decrease!”
“Damn it! Shouldn’t we do something? Looking at it, I killed Gomok-Eun with one hit earlier… . I think it’s possible with that power.”
The Hunter who serves the Constellation of Living Flame raised the corners of his mouth and muttered.
“Let’s do it like this. If you provide cover, I will clear a path that way.”
“You’re saying you’re going to leave through the gate. I understand.”
Of course, there were relics in that direction.
“Ugh, uh… .”
Meanwhile, upon seeing that the attack force of more than 20 people had been annihilated, the commander fell to the ground, screaming like a crazy person. I was distraught over the responsibilities that lay ahead.
“ Hyunsu is a chew. listen carefully. If we break through, follow us. You can’t get lost here. know?! You have to live and pay for the lives of those who participated in your idiotic behavior.”
“Oh, I understand.”
“Okay, I hope you understand. Follow me carefully. If you fall behind, you die not by a bird but by my hands.”
Such a clumsy plan was made on the spot. As soon as he finished speaking, Jeong Yu-jin grabbed the handle of the ax tightly and ran forward.
“If I return here alive, I will buy you a drink!! Mr. Jeong Yu-jin!”
“I can’t drink.”
“Then I’ll buy you a drink!”
Hearing such trivial things. It relaxes me a little bit. It’s just that it was psychologically so. His muscles were as tense as tires.
“Caaah!”
“Get out!”
After jumping to avoid the attack of a crow that was attacking me with its beak wide open. The neck was pressed precisely. He seemed to instinctively know where to attack.
“Caw! Caw!”
Jeong Yu-jin’s barbaric yet ignorant attacks continued. In a way, it was simple. Dodge, slash. Avoid it and shoot it.
The crows’ attacks were usually straight, but they also swung at pebbles or logs. However, Jeong Yu-jin avoided it like a seasoned hunter.
If you dodge like that, the beak would come in between the sides, but instead, Jeong Yu-jin dug forward. The area near the heart was cut with an ax blade.
“Wow… That person is not human? Without a gun. How is something like that possible?”
“Sure. You’re not the one to play with us? Hey, Hyeonsu. Where did you get it?”
“Oh, me too… I just heard that I am a person who has been through F-level dungeons a few times. I hired him.”
“Anyway, I think I can survive here thanks to you. It was the best thing you ever did.”
It is truly the realm of the superhuman. The crow blocking his path was nothing more than a wall of meat a few meters long.
“ done. I will break through!”
Couuuch—! A blue-green flame burned and burned the crows that were running at both sides of Jeong Yu-jin at once. The shotgun bullet, flying slowly for a beat, pierced the head of the shrike that had landed.
“I’ll go.”
“Caw, caw….”
Jeong Yu-jin swung the ax diagonally while receiving strong cover. The frightened crow couldn’t even resist, and its legs were cut off. After stabbing the blade into the black chest of a fallen crow. He let out bloody anger.
“Caw! Caw!”
“Knock knock!”
With a loud screech—many crows were swept away by the explosion. Of course, its power was still weak, so it could not inflict a fatal blow. You could break a leg or a wing. This meant dying from a belated ax blow.
[excuse me! There it is!]
After killing so many crows and magpies, and the occasional shrikes that came down from the sky, they were able to see them.
“It’s a pigeon!”
“The concave eyes were the same size as before…?”
“I’m going crazy. You look exactly like the guy in front of the subway station.”
A 10m long pigeon with its entire body decorated with bright red feathers.
“That guy.”
The boss of this dungeon and the one who holds the artifact. And it is a being that must be killed.
“Gugu—”
The blood-red dove croaked like a normal individual and opened its beak.
“Guuu—!”
“What, what! You even use magic? What kind of talent do you have with pigeons?”
“No! That’s not magic!”
He stretched out his tongue and hit Jeong Yu-jin like a whip. The blow wasn’t that strong because I pulled back slightly just before it made contact. I couldn’t stop my posture from collapsing.
“Coming!”
“Ah. Fuck… . I didn’t expect to die here.”
“What?”
Fuuuuk—! The first to die was a hunter holding a cane shotgun. He had a premonition of his own death and, almost giving up, was stabbed in the abdomen by a tongue.
[Napoleon’s ‘last problem’ in the criminal world is triggered.]
After a while, the cane shotgun hunter was teleported to a slightly distant location. Death was postponed.
“Ah, I lived. I really thought I was going to die…”
“Gu!”
“Wow!”
Of course, the hunter came a little later. faced death again. The pigeon gets a bit obsessed with the enemy it fails to kill, and slams a tentacle disguised as a tongue on its head. I crushed it.
“Fuck you—two chickens!”
Jeong Yu-jin jumped up from his seat and hit his tongue with an axe. It was hard, but not so bad that it couldn’t be cut. After taking a couple of shots, it stopped.
“I hung up, so come now!”
“Ah. crazy… . I don’t think that will work. Mr. Yujin Jeong.”
“Yes?”
The pigeon became the king of birds thanks to the ‘crown’ that accidentally flowed into the dungeon. Through this power, the pigeon grew in size of his subjects, and at the cost of twisting himself, he was able to become a strong monster.
“Gooo!”
“Crazy.”
The pigeon was so angry that its tongue had been cut off that it opened its mouth and created dozens of tentacles.
“It’s really going.”
Dozens of tentacles swung around, pulverizing everything around them. Even crows and magpies exploded like tomatoes in a blender if they touched them.
“Come behind me!”
Of the remaining three, the only one who could resist the tentacles was Jeong Yu-jin. With transcendental reflexes and speed, he swung the ax like crazy and struck down the flying tentacle.
“It’s not decreasing…”
“I’ll do it anyway! Shut your mouth!”
“You seem to be younger than me, but at this age…”
“Ah, fuck! What does age matter?”
The division of the tentacle continued even as it split into dozens of pieces. The pigeon’s mouth kept opening to create space, and the entire upper mouth was pulled back with a squeaky sound.
The divided tentacles became faster and stronger. Jeong Yu-jin, who had barely managed to throw it away, could no longer hold on and was forced to fall backwards.
“It’s so fucking gross.”
“Of course. I think I saw a cartoon with a monster like that when I was young.”
“What did you do there, you monster?”
“You shot him to death with a gun? But I don’t think even a bullet will hit that thing.”
Meanwhile, the pigeon knew that it had an advantage. Although the field of view was not visible, the tentacle’s range was so wide that it could kill the opponent just by moving forward.
“What should I do? It’s coming this way.”
“Ugh, ahhh… ! no! I don’t want to die here!”
“Hey, hey! Hyunsu! Are you crazy? If you go there, you’ll just die!”
The next victim was Park Hyun-soo. He was so mad from fear that he ran away without any time to stop him. The half-dead crow stirred and pecked him to death with its beak.
“There is no way back, Mr. Jeong Yu-jin. Ceebaaal! In the end, is that the only way?”
Hunter, with a bitter look on his face, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and bit into them.
Now, if the pigeon takes three steps, it will be within range of the tentacle.
inevitable death. Hunter draws a spark from the end of his cigarette. He sucked in the smoke and muttered.
Regret seemed to rise along with the gray smoke.
“For me. I’m an orphan. orphanage. It’s a common case. In today’s world… . In other words, there is no one to take care of you even if you die. But Jeong Yu-jin has a family, right?”
“Ah… .”
“Even if I die, it’s right for me to die. It is better for only one person to die than for two people to die. Isn’t that right?”
Jeong Yu-jin couldn’t bear to say anything. He said he was also an orphan.
That hunter, whose name I don’t even know, is now talking about sacrificing himself for someone so easily.
why? You saw it for the first time today. But why do you want to die? I don’t know. really… . This is an incomprehensible behavior for Jeong Yu-jin, who wants to live today and die tomorrow.
“Jigimi. If I had known this would happen, I would have drank as much as I loved. Ignis!! Turn my body into embers!”
There was no time to stop it. And even if I tried to stop it, it would have been of no use.
Flames erupted in the nameless hunter’s body. The color is blue beyond red and yellow.
The cigarette I was holding burned to the end. The air surrounding him heats up so quickly that it becomes difficult to breathe when you get close to him.
Hunter stepped forward. If you just look at the posture, it might be more appropriate to lean forward.
“Ah.”
That’s how the third death came. At the same time as I groaned, my head was crushed by the tentacle.
“Gu?”
“You fucking bastard. Search!”
Couuuck—! That became the trigger and exploded. Like a grenade exploding. The hunter’s burning body was scattered in all directions.
“I’m sorry. Because I am a coward.”
In this way, the unknown hunter was finally able to use himself as a spark to set his opponent on fire.
