The backlash was a bit strong, but it didn’t last long.

They know it too.

Even if you whine now, nothing will change.

The only valid reason to give up on conquering a dungeon that has already been applied for is if some or all of the party members become sick to the point where they cannot be conquered, or if a natural disaster or something similar occurs.

“Go to sleep, cheer up. In the end, you all trusted me and handed over the dungeon choice, right?”

They try to lighten the mood by clapping, but Shin Yu-jeong laughs and scoffs.

“Yes, I believed it. “I never thought I would choose an anthill.”

Ugh, that hateful person.

“You will naturally find out why I chose this dungeon when you go in, so trust me and get through it quickly. huh?”

But what can I do?

They are only 20 years old now, so I have to comfort them and comfort them.

Anyway, this will be the last time I complain.

The moment you enter the dungeon, you will quickly realize why I chose this dungeon.

“Huh, yes. “We can’t cancel what has already been applied for, so let’s finish it quickly.”

Shin Yoo-jeong quickly gives up and raises his weapon.

The same goes for Seoyeon.

He removes his back from the wall and pulls out his sword.

“Ugh… , I really hate insects.”

Lim Na-eun never seemed to lose her footing.

Looking at his expression, he seems to really hate insects.

I grabbed his arm, patted his back, and lifted myself up.

“Naeun, don’t worry. “No ants will come near you.”

“… really?”

“I’ll promise.”

After talking about the promise, Naeun’s expression gradually relaxes.

“after… .”

Why do I feel so tired even though I haven’t even entered the dungeon yet?

I think we still have a long way to go before we can make these people act like people.

Still, they all have outstanding potential, so we need to work hard to embrace them.

If the guys here grow up like I thought, they could even surpass Son Si-woo’s party, which is considered the strongest party in Korea.

Of course, it will be in the distant future.

“Then let’s enter the tank first.”

“hmm!”

“I’m going in.”

Shin Yu-jeong and Elena take turns placing their hands on the crack and heading into the dungeon.

“Next is senior Seoyeon.”

“huh.”

First, we sent Seoyeon, who can also serve as a close dealer due to her position.

“Naeun.”

“Yes… .”

Next, Naeun barely manages to stretch out her hand without being able to erase her nervous expression.

Soon after, I stretched out my hand and entered the dungeon.

For a moment, the area before my eyes turns black, but my vision slowly recovers.

Inside a dark and humid cave.

At the same time, a message occurred to me.

[You have entered the ant cave.]

Wet, sticky breath flows through my nose.

To be honest, I don’t like the air here because it’s so humid and sticky than the ants.

“I’ll explain the operation, so gather around first.”

The team members who were on high alert in case of an unexpected attack were called together.

First, we need to create a light source to ensure smooth viewing sharing.

「Light.」

A light source created by delicately controlling the intensity of light is floated above the heads of team members.

If it is too bright, it can be easily detected by enemies from afar, so this level is just right.

Now it’s time to explain the operation.

“Does anyone know why anthills are the scariest thing?”

“Volume.”

Shin Yu-jeong answers with a sour expression.

“That’s right, it’s the quantity.”

The official name of the ant monster that appears here is ‘Big Ant’.

A group of monsters that travel in groups ranging from at least ten to as many as twenty or thirty.

Its characteristic features are a hard shell and small but sharp teeth.

These guys specialize in blocking the opponent’s attacks with their strong bodies and eating metal and metal with their sharp teeth.

The position that suffers the most inconvenience as a result is the tank.

Dozens of them come together in groups and bite all over your body, which is very stinging and painful.

Pain breaks posture.

After being bitten countless times, the tanker’s posture becomes disturbed, and at that moment, he is reduced to just a filling meal.

The ending that follows is also determined.

A party with a tank down is like dominoes that have already started to fall.

This means that the party is destroyed at a faster rate than when the tanker’s posture collapses after being bitten by ants.

“The main tank for this strategy is Elena.”

As soon as I finish speaking, Shin Yu-jeong’s eyebrows start to flutter.

It looked like he was going to scold me at any moment, but surprisingly he didn’t.

I just asked why.

“The reason is.”

It looks like Kim Jeong-hoon’s weak strategy is still working.

“The difference is the shield.”

Shin Yu-jeong and Elena.

If we break down the positions of the two tankers a little further, they are divided into damage tank and pure tank respectively.

You can tell just by looking at the weapon.

Shin Yu-jeong wields a pentagonal kite shield and a short sword.

On the other hand, Elena has a tower shield that covers her entire body.

“It is correct that Elena, holding the tower shield, blocks the front, and you, Yujeong, remove the ants that are clinging to Elena’s body from behind.”

Shin Yu-jeong’s shield is limited in covering her upper body no matter how much she crouched.

Ultimately, this means there are more gaps for ants to bite into.

On the other hand, Elena can completely block what’s in front of her.

It would be easier if Shin Yu-jeong kept the side and back in check.

“What is Elena’s wide area CC?”

“Don’t worry about that. “You probably won’t be able to move much at all.”

I’ve created a way to kill the ants very easily.

“Seoyeon senior is also going as a wizard this time. “There will probably be very little use of a sword.”

“… okay.”

Seoyeon shows a slightly dissatisfied expression.

As he was fiddling with the handle of the sword, he seemed to be disappointed when he heard that he would not be able to swing the sword.

That’s strange.

Since when did you like swords so much?

“Since the brief explanation is over, let’s just save Naeun’s magic and leave.”

“Yeah, wait a minute… .”

Drops gushing from Naeun’s palm.

The magic builds up inside it.

There are a total of six magics prepared.

At that level, you can melt down an entire unit if you get the strike point right.

“Then let’s go.”

“Hmm… ! “I take the lead.”

Elena moves forward holding the tower shield with great vigor.

Shin Yu-jeong followed closely behind, and the three of us walked while maintaining a safe distance of approximately 3 meters.

“hmm… .”

As I walk, looking at the two people walking ahead, I feel the gap between the rich and the poor.

Unlike Shin Yu-jeong, who is wrapped in solid armor in all important areas, Elena is a bit bare.

The tanker’s equipment value is next to the wizard.

Because thick and hard materials are used, the unit price is correspondingly higher.

Perhaps because they were busy preparing the tower shield, they didn’t pay much attention to other armor.

If you get bitten in a place like that, it would hurt a lot… .

“Everyone get ready!”

Quang!

While I was lost in thought, Elena slammed her shield on the ground and sent us a warning signal.

Dozens of pairs of eyes flashing beyond the dim light.

It was the appearance of a swarm of ants.

“How many?”

“It’s fifteen!”

“Then try tanking like I said before.”

“Hmm… !”

Elena collides with an ant that rushes towards her while snorting.

At the same time, dark magical energy flows down from her body.

Emergence of wide-area deceleration zones.

“Ugh… !”

Shin Yu-jeong, who was standing next to him, stamps his feet a few times and frowns.

Even if you can’t do it, you’ll have slowed down by more than 30%, so even if you don’t move, it won’t feel good.

“Shin Yu-jeong! “Take care of Elena!”

“I know!”

A fierce battle took place in front.

Ants barge in from all directions, baring their teeth, and without taking a single step back, Elena waves her shield to knock the ants away.

The same goes for Shin Yu-jeong.

He hits the head of the ant targeting him with his shield, and swings the shortsword at the ant targeting Elena’s back to increase the distance.

“It’s easier than you think.”

This was thanks to two factors.

The first is that the two people fit together better than expected.

The second is that Elena’s characteristics weigh down the feet of the ants, who need to be constantly pushed to shine.

Thanks to this, loopholes appeared in their wave offense, and defense became easier.

“Naeun, prepare to strike.”

“huh… !”

If there’s one thing that’s important to a magician in combat, it’s where to fire the magic.

In other words, the point of impact is determined.

The time required to create magic is all the tankers’ blood.

So, it goes without saying that we must ensure that each shot can be used with maximum efficiency.

“I’ll shoot… !”

The six magic shots were finally fired.

They were all fireballs, a beginner magic.

Fuuuh-!

Pow!

Six fireballs flew one after another and landed in the middle of the ants, causing a strong explosion.

Kiririk!

Kirik… !

With the explosion, some parts that fell off the body scattered in the air.

“Sir Seoyeon.”

“huh.”

“If you don’t mind being slow, you can go and finish it yourself.”

“okay… !”

Although they don’t show much, you can tell that they are happy just by looking at them running straight away.

It’s an order that doesn’t need to be given, but in a dungeon, even small complaints can cause anger.

It wouldn’t be a bad idea to move your body appropriately when you have some free time.

Seoyeon, who darted into the swarm of ants, swung her sword.

Flutter!

Kwasik!

The direction in which the sharp sword moves is the joint between the hard shells.

I didn’t even say where to aim, but I’m targeting the weakest part.

Even if you try to aim for it, it is not easy because the gap is narrow… , Should I say it’s my daughter’s skill?

“Okay… .”

When I watch the swordsmanship of this guy who strongly reflects my color, I keep getting a strange feeling.

Anyway, thanks to Seoyeon’s excitement, the final cleanup was completed easily.

Now it’s time to collect the loot.

With the dagger in hand, he dismantles the back of a dead ant.

It’s not as difficult as you think.

If you insert a dagger into the seam and lift it with strength… .

Pudduk-!

It comes torn apart like this.

“Now, just tear off the shell like this.”

“Ugh… .”

“Hi!”

From nausea to hiccups.

Are these people very hungry?

“Guys, this is all about money. “Should we make money and buy better equipment?”

“Ugh… .”

The team members begin to remove the shells of the ants one by one.

Good equipment.

I realize once again that there is no word that stimulates the motivation of hunters more than that.
