episode_0029

Kkkk—!!!!!

The monster’s ferocious cry,

Of course, the fact that the elk appears as a monster itself is a bit funny.

However, you should never let down your guard.

There was a successor whose ribs were shattered by a single kick from that guy.

Because there was a monster in the unit nicknamed the legendary volunteer army maker…

“3 o’clock, that guy must have noticed that we were here.“

Han Seo-jin quickly raised his hand and stopped his teammates.

Then, he took out something black from his chest.

‘Is that… a flashlight…? ‘Why did you bring that…?’

Jiyoon Kim looked at him with a puzzled expression,

Han Seo-jin’s face looked more serious than ever.

Didn’t they say there’s nothing more attractive than a man’s facial expression when he’s focused on something?

Let’s look at that along with his handsome appearance for a moment.

Her heart started pounding.

‘What…what are you thinking, you crazy bitch…! I need to come to my senses…!’

Clap clap-!

As always, she slapped herself on both cheeks before going into battle.

Next, orders were given to the waiting team members.

“Let’s just do what we normally do… If I drag him out with aggro, deal him. If it gets aggro again, I tank, okay?“

“Okay…!“

“Ah…okay.“

“…Yes.“

That moment when everyone was ready.

Han Seo-jin whistled loudly.

Hwiik—!

Meee!!!

At that moment, a high-pitched scream hit my ears mercilessly,

Her ears grew deaf and at the same time her body stopped listening.

‘This is the scream of a monster… As expected, the force is completely different from that of a level 1 monster…!’

“Coming…!“

As soon as he gave the signal, something jumped out of the grass like a spur.

A huge brown body,

And the long fangs were covered in dark red blood.

A vampire elk has appeared.

Crack—!

Immediately, Jiyoon Kim raised his shield and rushed forward.

He then struck the monster’s head with all his might with his mace.

bang—!

Crispy—!

Kyaaagh—!

A very intense rainbow light came out and the mace burned intensely,

The elk’s barrier, which had been struck with all its might, was half shattered.

‘What… what was that just now…?! The ship… the barrier… in one shot…?!“

The elk hesitated slightly and was pushed back,

It soon slashed straight at her with its threatening fangs.

Tong–!

The shield was made of thick double layers and had no teeth.

Next, she struck the black shield with all her might with her mace.

Bang-bang-bang!

“Come at me…! Challenge me with all my might…!“

Kkkkk!!!

High-pitched, tearing screams,

And the monster’s eyes became bloodshot and began to burn red.

‘It was eaten..!’

“All people!!! Attack begins!!!“

The moment the elk’s aggro was attracted,

The warrior waiting behind the tank quickly jumped forward.

“Eat and sleep!!!“

She powerfully swung her blue twin swords mercilessly,

Ssss–!

Wow!!!

With a much more powerful flash than usual,

The attack was completely effective after penetrating the elk’s half-broken level 2 defense shield.

‘What… what…?! It’s completely different from usual…!’

The warrior was taken aback when he landed an unexpected critical hit.

The team leader who was standing next to her pulled her back.

“What are you doing!!! Don’t lose your mind!!!“

“T…Team Leader…! Just did that…!“

The team leader knew too.

The wounds she just inflicted are far greater than usual,

It was literally an overwhelming blow.

However, as a woman who personally took on numerous hunter requests,

I also knew that one second of hesitation in this situation could lead to serious injury.

“Ranged dealer!!! Concentrate firepower!!!“

“ㄴ…Yes!!“

“…Ready.“

Shuuu…

The moment when the blue magic missile was intensely condensed.

In an instant, it flew towards the monster at the speed of light.

bang—!

Wow!!!!

Likewise, there was a powerful blow that even the wizard did not expect.

Sigh–!

puck—! Puffuppuck–!

The archer who made an additional hit from the side also,

Unlike before, it showed overwhelming destructive power.

‘Wh…something’s strange. I’ve been casting so many magic missiles until now… That kind of destructive power suddenly appears…?!’

‘… Strange. But… it feels good.’

Meee…eh…

The elk stumbled and turned its head,

Instead of the tank, he looked at the other hunters who had just landed a fatal attack on him.

Kyaaah!!!!

Then he started rushing towards me with all his might.

“Up… It’s dangerous!!!“

The team leader held up his shield and attacked the elk with his entire body,

An astonishing leap of speed shown by the monster in an instant.

Thanks to that, even she, who was marking thoroughly, missed the monster.

“It’s coming this way!!!“

“Uh…uhh…!“

At that moment.

Han Seo-jin, who had been quietly observing the situation from behind, stood in front of them.

And then, standing solemnly in front of them,

I aimed the flashlight at the elk.

“Light!!!!“

Sigh—!

Meee!!

With a momentary blinding flash,

The elk’s vision became filled with a flicker of white light,

The monster stumbled and fell towards the ground.

“Tank!!! Drag it again!!!“

“Yes…yes!!!“

Bang bang bang–!

As he ordered, she again struck the shield vigorously,

The monster struggled to get up and immediately launched itself towards the tanker.

Kagagak—!

Fiercely sharp fangs began stabbing the shield mercilessly,

No matter how reinforced the shield was, it began to break down little by little.

“Aggroed again!!! Cut it up!!!“

“Okay!!!“

Again towards the aggro-attracted monster,

This time, the warrior struck down his dual swords vertically with all his might.

“Vertical Strike!!!“

Sagagagak—!

Wow…eh…

thud…!

The twin swords struck vertically and vigorously cut off the elk’s nape.

Blood spattered like a fountain, and the monster fell helplessly to the floor.

“Huh…Huh…Huh…Uh… Did you knock it down…?“

“Everyone!!! Are there any injuries? “

“ㄴ…Yes!!! You’re safe!“

“….Yes.“

The tanker stepped on the elk’s head.

The monster no longer moved.

She immediately looked at her watch.

‘5 minutes…17 seconds…?!’

The time it takes for a level 2 party to catch a level 2 monster is,

On average between 10 and 15 minutes.

Of course, there are differences in the skills and armament of the hunters,

The current record was truly unbelievable.

‘How on earth did this happen…?’

She sheathed her shield and looked at her teammates.

All of his colleagues looked at the monster with as bewildered expressions as he did.

Just one of them.

Only Han Seo-jin smiled and approached the elk’s body.

He looked as if he had expected this whole thing.

——

‘Wow… It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but I’m so disgusted that I’m dying…’

I touched the elk’s body.

It definitely felt like I had stopped breathing.

I was even poking my eyes out of fear that it might come back to life.

“Um… hey… thank you…!“

I turned around and looked at her.

The wizard and archer who almost got caught in the attack earlier.

They all bowed their heads to me and kept saying thank you.

“Don’t worry, it’s just a small sincerity.“

‘Now… Then, why don’t you try writing it after a long time…’

A skill I gained that day while searching through the trash can at Han Seo-jin’s house.

[Treasure Hunt]

Of course, even if you don’t use these skills, you will still get quite a few drops.

Sometimes, if you’re lucky, you hit the jackpot.

Until I was recognized by them as a commander,

In fact, he was a walking totem, closer to a supporter in charge of item farming.

“Now… then, shall we check…“

Phew…

Inside the still warm corpse.

Without even blinking my eyes,

He was looking through the elk’s body very calmly.

“Uh…Seojin? What are you doing now?“

“Ah, it’s one of the supporting abilities. If you do this, the item will appear.“

“Uh… Um… Well, I think it’s because it’s your first time as a hunter. Basically, if you die, the item drops will be taken care of…“

sparkle-!

[Treasure Hunt]

At that moment, something sparkled inside the corpse,

I vigorously took out one of the jewels contained within it.

Sigh-!

Although blood splattered and splashed on my face for a moment,

After wiping my face with my sleeve, I looked at the contents inside.

——-

[D] Vampire Gem

A gem that shines beautifully in red like a ruby.

-You can give the [Vampire] skill to a melee weapon.

——-

‘nice!’

I smiled brightly and held up the jewel towards them.

“Ta-da~ Sometimes, if you’re this lucky, you can find a gem, right?“

“E…eh…? This is my first time hearing about such an ability…“

“Wow… so… pretty…“

I took a towel out of my bag, wiped it clean, and

I handed the jewel to the team leader.

“Now, here. You will be able to sell it quite expensively.“

“…Thank you. Don’t forget to record this in your settlement.“

I answered her with a thumbs up.

Other team members also gave me a thumbs up.

“Team leader Team leader Team leader..! Did you see it earlier…? It’s so sad because I’m swooning..! I heard it was a total hit…!“

“That’s not all. My magic trajectory earlier… It had a completely different power than usual.“

“…Yes, my multiple shots too.“

The team leader nodded and placed his hand on his chin.

Then she started looking at her and other colleagues’ weapons.

Of course, it may have been because they purchased new equipment.

However, Kim Ji-yoon’s tanker’s equipment is the same as before, with numerous scratches.

[Shinpung] It was clear that it was equipment provided by the guild for team leaders.

‘What… what on earth happened…’

She looked back at me and my colleagues who were chatting cheerfully,

At that moment, I felt the team leader narrowing his eyes and looking at me.

The reaction that women give when they are touched with a strong feeling.

I smiled sheepishly and walked towards the elk’s body.

Wow…

The monster’s body turned into dust and blew in the wind.

In its place, several stones and a piece of equipment appeared.

While monsters killed within the gate in this way are immediately converted into items,

The monsters that were killed after being captured outside the gate or escaping by running away from the gate were

All of them maintained their appearance like ordinary animal corpses.

Later, due to the invasion of monsters, the corpses of the monsters rotted after the battle.

After that, I had a difficult time dealing with it.

“Oh… awesome…! The equipment has appeared…!“

There were also rare cases where equipment was dropped like this.

It’s a shame that most monsters appear to be one level lower than other monsters.

Still, in this world where each piece of equipment is sold at a high price.

There was nothing better than dropping equipment.

“Let’s see… It’s an [E] grade gauntlet… Take this and distribute it. The magic stone is…“

The team leader picked up some jewels and immediately handed them to me with a smile.

“Now, Seojin. It’s a gift. In commemoration of the first successful subjugation.“

“Wow… Thank you…!“

Of course, it was a magic stone of little value.

Still, he accepted it with a grateful expression, saying it was a gift from someone else.

‘Hmm… I was able to modify this to feel like an auxiliary battery after touching it well…’

First, pack the low-grade magic stones in your bag,

I looked back at them, calculating when I could bring it to Joohee.

“Now! Then let’s go catch the next monster!“

“Good. You are full of energy. Do you need to support us well in the future?“

“Yes. Of course!“

So, the girls and I walked back toward the jungle forest.

——

Suddenly—!

The twin swords dance beautifully and cut down the elk.

Wow!!!!

Thump–! Thump—!

A magic missile of incredible power struck the elk’s body mercilessly,

Wow!!!!

Shhh—!

Papa papa pap…!

After numerous arrows are stuck in the elk’s body…

Wow… ugh…

Kang!!!!

Ugh.

The moment the team leader was struck on the head with a mace,

With its skull flattened, the elk fell to the ground.

I wonder if they caught three elk in a row like that.

They lay down on the floor, as if their magic power had been discharged.

“Hehe…Hehe…Hehe…“

“Huh…huu…sigh…“

“….absorb…sigh…“

“Huuuu….Ha…Ugh…It’s hard…“

I took out a mat from my bag so they could rest,

Next, we opened a glass of cooled Powerade and poured each person a glass.

“Oh…! Our supporter… he’s absolutely ace…!“

“That’s right, he’s completely different from Park Si-won, who I met last time…“

“You know, Seojin, do you have a girlfriend? If you don’t have it…“

“Uh-huh, no movement. I get arrested for sexual harassment and then?“

I smiled and drank a cool drink.

The temperature inside the jungle was very humid,

It was fortunate that I was wearing the breathable academy gym uniform.

The girls wearing such thick armor in front of me right now,

It felt like sweat was pooling inside that armor.

‘It was really hard… At that time, at the gate with the volcano in the background… wow, it wasn’t even a fuss.’

I quenched my thirst, recalling past memories.

The reason why we cleared the gate while laughing with Lauren and the other children was,

It seemed like the last time was probably more than three years ago.

Of course, on the day when destruction approached, we were not smiling at all,

Because the unfortunate passing of so many comrades was repeated.

It was impossible to relax like this.

‘If…if I get the chance. I want to clear the gate together like we did that day. Then… he would be able to be very active, unlike back then.’

I looked at them laughing and out of breath.

Everyone seems to be struggling at a young age.

If you see that he is working so hard as a hunter,

He looked like a student at the same academy as me.

“Phew… Then, shall we go back now?“

“Is that so? Perhaps thanks to the new equipment, it ended very quickly! It’s been a while… How about an after-party?“

“T… Is the team leader living there? I want to eat meat!“

“…Yes, I like pork belly.“

The team leader smiled brightly and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

Then, while flipping his hair, he spoke softly to me.

“Well… Seojin, if you have time… you can have some meat with us…“

“Hmm. Can I eat something like that?“

“Of course!!!“

In an instant, the warrior stood up from his seat and shouted excitedly,

He belatedly scratched the back of his head and spoke shyly in a crawling voice.

“Ah… Well… I don’t know if I’ll be able to see you again, but… Thank you for your hard work today. Right?“

“Good. Then let’s go together.“

Then they looked at me with very happy expressions,

I got up from the floor and warmed up.

Rustle… rustle rustle…

A feeling felt in the bushes beyond.

And this overwhelming magical power is felt.

This was not the vampire elk I had encountered so far.

‘This… feels completely different…’

After taking out the shield from subspace,

I left them behind and walked into the bushes.

“Seo…Seojin? What is that shield…?“

“Please rest for a moment. I have something to look at for a moment.“

Wow!!!!!!

Kugugugugung…!!!!!!!

With an intense roar that seemed to shake the ground for a moment.

A scream that seemed to rip my eardrums was heard.

‘Damn…it’s coming…! That too… under the ground…!’

Shuuu…

bang!!!!!!!!

Immediately, a huge monster appeared breaking through the ground.

Fiery teeth, huge drill-like hands.

It was the appearance of a monster that could not possibly exist in this dungeon.

“What…what?!“

“Avoid the team leader!!!!“

In an instant, the monster swung its fist at the defenseless woman.

The drill in his hand began to rotate in a very threatening manner.

[jump]

Tong—!

Ka-ga-ga-ga-ga—-!

After leaping to the team leader in no time,

A drill attack strong enough to crush a person

I was barely able to block it by lifting my shield at an angle.

“Seo…Seojin…!“

“Everyone raise your weapons!!! If the situation arises, I’m prepared to jump!!“

“Yes…yes!!!“

Wow!!!!!

‘Why is this bastard here…? This guy must be level 3…!’

He appears last during the level 3 experience dungeon clearing.

And with a tenacity that is on a different level from other monsters,

He was a vicious guy who would kill a character if he messed with him with overwhelming force.

Besides, this guy had no reason to appear at this gate,

If we followed the normal route, we were destined to encounter each other later in a level 3 experience dungeon.

‘Damn it… these people’s magic must have been drained right now…’

I grabbed my shield and stepped in front of them.

I don’t know what happened, but

In the gate dungeon, which was going smoothly at level 2,

We encountered the level 3 dungeon boss.
