The whirlpool boss exploded in one blow before my eyes.

“What..when did that person come and hit me?”

” That’s also true.. It’s great power.”

“Did the boss disappear with one punch!?”

From my perspective, this boss flew by in vain.

Everyone who was running stopped due to the backlash and looked blankly at the exploded boss location.

“What about the boss? Lord..is he dead?”

“No.. no. The gate status remains the same. Everyone, don’t let your guard down!”

Everyone looked around nervously at the sight of the gate still covered in fog.

I also looked around and gathered my strength into my fists again.

‘It definitely looks like it passed by…’

I was pretty sure I hit the whirling guy.

The same goes for the fact that the shape disappeared due to the force.

However, as the hunters said, the gate environment remained foggy.

The thing I hit was most likely a dummy, not a boss.

-Suuuu..

“Fog is gathering again on the left!”

“As expected, he was alive! Ready for battle again!”

The hunters began to advance again as they saw the whirlpool.

-Whew!!

“Coming!”

The whirlpool has now started spewing its breath straight ahead.

A huge shield appeared in front of the hunters who were maintaining the front line, blocking one attack from the boss.

“Push against the wind as much as possible!”

“Ugh!!”

The red shield I made grew bigger and approached through a really strong wind.

After facing the whirlpool boss like that, the hunters threw away all their attacks.

This time, the vortex exploded due to the indiscriminate attack.

“Baby! It’s no big deal!”

“…No, the gate is fine this time too.”

“What?”

“Swirl in the back!”

“Damn it! Put up your shield again! The smaller breath comes again!”

This time, the whirlpool boss took shape again and glared at us.

No, more precisely, those related to magical power.

I stepped to the side and watched the situation, but it turned out that the boss was only targeting the hunters, ignoring the fact that I couldn’t even see him.

“…Wait a minute. All hunters, please stop using your abilities.”

“What..what?”

“What does that mean!”

“Please. Please follow what I say.”

“First of all, I got it! Just put up a shield in front of you! Stop using your abilities!”

As soon as the hunters’ attacks stopped, the whirling boss was only creating wind in its place and showing no movement.

“What.. That kid doesn’t do anything.”

“Could it be that it reacted to our ability and came to us… and also launched a wind attack?”

“Looking at the current situation… I would say there is a high possibility of that happening.”

I thought it felt strange, but my prediction was correct.

The boss guy didn’t seem to have any intention of attacking us when we stopped attacking him.

Seeing that there was no red or blue energy, it seemed like an inanimate object without will.

To be honest, I’m not even sure if that’s a spirit species.

If you look at its form, it looks like a wind spirit, but what can I say? It looks like a whirlpool containing the power of the spirit.

-Hyeonmu, is that a spirit?

“…I can definitely feel the spirit’s energy.”

-That means it might not be a spirit.

“I’m confused too. Oh…”

I think this is Hyunmu’s first time seeing something like that.

“Hmm..”

“What should we do now?”

The spirits are spirits, but the hunters are also confused.

Everyone was filled with strange sensations as they looked at the swirling boss, and no one knew how to deal with it.

“If we get rid of that, the number of people inside the gate will grow again..”

“A way out will also appear…”

“The compensation will be generous.”

But everyone was at a loss when they saw the boss they couldn’t catch.

“It seems like the only way is to find the entrance and exit. Just like the man from the Sun Guild who headed to the entrance alone earlier.”

“I agree with that.”

“Damn.. I thought I was done.. but this is my first time! Have we just come to solve the gate gimmick?”

When everyone saw the boss, only the word ‘victory’ filled their minds, but the boss continued to live even after death.

I was feeling discouraged as I watched the guy emit a foggy wind that shrank when attacked.

“Jageun. Is there another way?”

“I don’t know either. This is my first time experiencing something like this…”

Perhaps it was because of the puzzle they couldn’t solve, but everyone looked at me with an expectant look in their eyes.

But I am also a person like them.

Even if a boss like that suddenly appeared, there was no way to solve the problem.

‘What kind of boss is a scarecrow? It’s like a device to chase hunters. ‘I wonder… who made something like that…’

As he said, it was like an experiment tool created by a crazy genius scientist.

Things like dummy items or traps that you take out when you need them and then run away.

“Wait.. thing?”

I quickly took out my phone.

‘If it’s an item… can’t you pick it up and put it in the warehouse?’

With that in mind, I approached the whirlpool boss alone.

“Hey…! It’s dangerous to go up alone… but it’s too close!”

” That person, Park Ja-geun, probably knows better than anyone else. Let’s see what he does first.”

I turned the background screen on my phone showing the warehouse to show the boss.

And as the vortex passed by the phone, I began to see it slowly getting smaller.

‘…It was a real thing.’

Slowly the wind entered the warehouse.

Also a whirlpool with two red eyes.

“S..disappears.”

“That person.. what did he do?”

“It looks like you were holding something in your hand?”

“…Is it some kind of sealed cube?”

“I guess it was used as a last resort..”

“That might be true… like that slaying dragon in Japan. Sealed..”

As the boss entered my phone, the fog gradually disappeared.

And as the fog cleared, I could see hunters in the distance, and even grass that reached below my knees.

Then, even wild animals such as rabbits and snakes came into view.

“The gate over there is open!”

“Good! Find the scattered people and escape!”

“Find out what rewards are available!”

That’s how we succeeded in clearing the S-class gate.

***

” Mr. Park Ja-geun… Did you fall into the bathroom?”

Seo Ha-rin realized that a long time had passed while concentrating on the backlog of work in the quiet office.

The first thing I was conscious of was the presence or absence of Park Ja-geun.

The man had obviously called him as a volunteer, but he went to the bathroom and still hasn’t returned.

Seo Ha-rin did not wait any longer.

I frowned and got up from my seat.

Soon I opened the office door and headed to the bathroom.

“Mr. Park Ja-geun?”

…

Let’s shout while looking inside the bathroom. Only his own voice rang out, and no voice came back.

“I didn’t know you were this kind of person. I’m disappointed.”

It was Seo Ha-rin who couldn’t help but frown.

“I really need to tell the company about this. No matter how weak the cross guild is, it’s not polite to run away like this.”

Seo Ha-rin grumbled and returned to the office.

-Tta-ring-ta-ring!

At that time, I heard the phone ringing in the office and answered it right away.

“Yes, this is Seo Ha-rin.”

“Mr. Harin! Were you working on it? You finally got it!”

“Uh..Woobin? How did Woobin contact you? It must have been eaten inside the S-class gate..?!”

Seo Ha-rin wondered if this was a dream when she heard the voice of Woo-bin, her guild mate.

They clearly entered the S-class gate and disappeared.

“Haha. This is it! Thanks to Park Ja-geun, who supported Cross Guild!”

“That person.. pretended to go to the bathroom and then ran away..ah..”

Seo Ha-rin remembered Park Ja-geun asking her where the S-class gate was.

He said that there was definitely a danger fence in place, so anyone passing near it could see it.

“No way..there alone!”

“Hello? Seo Ha-rin?”

“Where are you now!? Mr. Woobin!”

“Ah..surprise.. We have just come out of the gate. This is the Imagine intersection.”

“I’ll go with Gilma right away! Just stay there and wait! Be sure to tell Park Ja-geun to wait too! Please tell me!”

“Ah.. yes.. I understand.”

Seo Ha-rin shook herself off, got up, immediately kicked open the office door, and went out.

“Ugh..”

“What are these guys..”

He also saw a gangster tied to a red pole, but he didn’t think this was important right now and headed straight to his vehicle.

As she left, three talented gangsters sneakily appeared where the gangsters were tied up.

“.. gone?”

“I think so, brother.”

“Fa..let’s solve it quickly!”

The gang leader ran towards the two who were tied up together with their two younger brothers.

“Miss.. It won’t work out! Brother!”

“Hammer the superalloy scale I brought earlier! Hit it with this!”

“Yes! Brother!”

-bang!

“Ugh!! Fuck! my hand!! Go numb!”

“Crazy.. How did the hammer crack!!!”

“What are you doing! We need to solve it quickly! If we don’t run away now, we’ll all die!!”

The three of them worked hard to save their comrades.

However, I was sweating profusely as I looked at the ropes and pillars that did not budge.

“You won’t die if you get hit.”

“I wish I knew! hurry….? Hmm?”

The main gangster is hitting the pillar hard with a pipe. My whole body trembled at the sound of a voice coming from behind.

When I glanced back, I saw a man yawning and covering his mouth.

“Damn.. you idiot!”

“Ah.. So, brother. Did you bring what I told you about?~”

Jageun looked at them and smiled.

“…I brought it!”

“The Sun Guild guys.. were definitely planning to blow up the Cross Guild..!”

“Oh. is it so. Let’s take a look.”

The captain took out a paper bag from his inside pocket and handed it to me with both hands.

When I received it and looked inside, I saw a small chip and various pictures.

The photo included a photo of the inside of the S-class gate and a photo of the whirlpool boss that I kept in the warehouse.

“How do I use this chip?”

“Just now.. if you insert it into a pen and write it..”

“Ah.”

I looked straight at the hole in the rampart. There were other chips besides the chips I had, so I took them out and put them back in.

-Chichik… Ik… I reached the top of the Sun Guild… I contacted the boss. This is… dangerous…

‘Jeong Sang-gil… wasn’t he the guy who first used Jeonghwa?’

Although I didn’t see him during the final boss battle.

I remember leaving alone and leaving through the entrance.

– Resist all attacks… or rather, if a certain amount of force is applied… it shoots out a strange wind and makes the creature smaller. Uh…huh!? hey! What did you do! Wow!!

Everyone knew about Jeongsang-gil, but Ji ran away alone. I knew that I would never be able to catch the boss.

‘I guess I was betrayed in the end.’

And yet you didn’t say anything.

I wondered if he was thinking of taking revenge himself.

Or maybe he’s planning to use us as bait to safely escape to the gate entrance…

I don’t know exactly. Because you can’t know everyone’s thoughts.

‘We’ll meet again later~’

“Good. The Sun Guild already knew how dangerous that S-class gate was.”

“That’s right.. Then now..”

“Hmm.. I think there’s more to it than this.”

“..Well..so we did our best. That was all the information I could find.”

“? This is a little disappointing. Brother.”

“Jeez.. Damn it, really! I barely found it! Ugh? Ahhh!!!”

The guy with his mouth fluttering sat down, clutching his ears.

“It’s noisy. I’m talking to my brother.”

“Stop it! Don’t bully your younger siblings! Please..!”

“Ha.. Brother. This is not enough to put pressure on the Sun Guild. Wait… Aha! You knew that too, so instead of waiting for me, you tried to free the two that were tied up over there?”

“Ugh..”

“It’s a shame. If I had just one more piece of information, I would have saved him… Ugh… Let’s all die here.”

“I hate it!..!”

“Ugh! What a piece of shit!!”

In front of my frightened younger brothers, the leader gangster ran towards me alone.

“Brother!”

“You two, at least run away!!”

“You’re my brother!!”

When I saw the leader gangster holding my ship, I unleashed the blood magic I had gathered in my hand.

“Did the princess do this… memory erasure.”

Flashes of light flashed around me, heading towards the thugs’ heads.

With the light, the captain and the gangsters all fell to the floor, drooling.

“It’s okay, right?”

After making all the blood pillars and shackles disappear, he turned back from the scene.

And soon the gangsters rose up one by one.

“Uuuu..uh..”

“Why are you here..?”

“Tongue.. bro?”

“Miss.. Did you drink too much and pass out again?”

“Ahaha.”

As I listened to those jokes, I thought to myself that it was a success and continued on my way.

“Ugh! Now let’s go get the reward~”

I was very excited to see what kind of expression Seo Ha-rin would greet me with.
