Chapter 106
I was already aware of the approach of a herd of monsters before the Summons cry.
As Jin said, the numbers in the group increased, and in the meantime, several monsters with strong energy were mixed in the herd.
It was certainly quite a difficult situation as a first battle for the new recruits.
But I wasn't too worried.
We've already overcome a harsher situation than this.
Everybody get ready. They're almost there.
Soon we were able to see a crowd of monsters.
The cry of the monsters was clearly heard.
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
A group of Raptors broke through the crowd and came running towards us.
Among them, monsters with red patterns covering their entire bodies looked bigger than the other guys and stood out.
They seemed to be the upper-level monsters that Jin talked about.
Arent you going to help Mr. Jinhyuk? I don't think it's going to be easy with just the new recruits.
They can handle it by themselves. Theyre much better than you think."
Hmph!
Cho Jaeheon snorted at Jins reply.
On the other hand, Choi Sunoh said to Jin with a worried look.
Mr.Jinhyuk, isn't this dangerous? There are a lot of red Raptors mixed in. They could get hurt badly.
Don't worry. That's not going to happen.
Still
Choi Sunoh and Shin Hyuwon looked at us nervously.
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
Don't get too excited, idiot! Don't forget the advice Brother Jin gave you earlier.
Okay, that's easy. Don't push yourself forward, either. I'll draw their attention.
Taeho and Sehe looked serious, unlike their playful past self.
I looked at the two people who were becoming more mature.
Ah! I have to get ready to fight too.
I hurriedly turned to the monsters and took out my sword.
Flames sprouted from Taeho's sword, and a spirit appeared with a calm wind around Sehe.
Here we go.
Xien, help!
Taeho raised his sword high and sent red flames everywhere.
The Spirit raised the wind and gathered the flame, and poured out huge balls of fire on the monsters.
BANG
Ciiiiiiyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
A powerful fireball bombing caused several raptors to roll around on the ground in an instant.
That's amazing.
That's a wonderful way of increasing their power."
The admiration of Choi Sunoh and Shin Hyuwon came from behind.
I heard Cho Jaeheon kicking his tongue as if he didnt like something.
Now it's my turn.
I'll back you up.
A group of raptors slightly got demoralized by the fireball bombing.
Taeho ran confidently toward them.
The flame around him was further strengthened by the force of the wind, making it difficult for the enemy to even approach.
The Raptors thought it was difficult to stop Taeho, who was running wild and quickly changed their target.
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
They passed Taeho with a quick movement and rushed towards Sehe, who was in the back.
Be careful, Sehe!
I stepped forward to protect Sehe.
They rushed at me swinging their sharp claws as if I looked easy.
It was a pretty fierce attack, but it was easily stopped with my sword and I immediately prepared for a counterattack.
I inserted the sword through the perfect gap.
SWOOSH!
The sword bounced off without being able to penetrate the Raptor's skin.
I was very confused by the unexpected situation.
This time I'm in danger of being attacked.
Raptors instinctively aimed at gaps and tried to thrust their sharp teeth onto me.
Uncle!
I heard Sehe's shocked voice.
Maybe she shouted because my situation looked dangerous, but I was actually looking at the opponent with great ease.
I didn't want to use this ability, but I focused my attention on the attacking Raptor.
Soon after, mind control got activated.
Hiiic
Hiihii?!
Raptor stopped attacking regardless of its own will.
It was a very short moment, but on the battlefield, it created a very fatal gap.
I found the weakest part that Jin explained earlier and stabbed the sword there with great ease.
Raptor fell to the ground while screaming.
Ciiiiiyiiiiiiiiii
At the same time, I felt a soft wind around my body.
Maybe Sehe used the power of the spirit to protect me.
Are you okay, Uncle?
Yes, I'm fine.
I thought you were in trouble because my support was late.
Don't worry about me and keep supporting Taeho.
Sehe confirmed that I was fine, and went back to Taeho's support.
I briefly looked down at the sword that had not pierced Raptor's skin.
I don't think I'd be able to perform proper swordsmanship with this sword.
It was disappointing, but I couldn't help it.
Using mind control, I secretly handled the Raptors one by one.
The last remaining red Raptor fell to Taeho's sword.
Claps and cheers erupted from behind.
That's great! That's amazing!'
Are you sure they're new recruits? Where did they come from?"
Choi Sunoh and Shin Hyuwon were constantly surprised by the two who showed outstanding performances.
On the other hand, Cho Jaeheon still had his arms crossed and looked like he did not like the situation.
Jin looked at him with a relaxed smile.
Oh, the new guys were so good that I didn't have time to cut in, did I?"
By the way what did you say earlier? Didnt you say that someone who watches should take care of the mess?
Phew you two! Stop talking nonsense and lets start cleaning up!
Cho Jaeheon was annoyed by Choi Sunoh and Shin Hyuwon for no reason and took out the gear to dismantle.
The two were startled and began to clean up with him.
Excited Taeho and Sehe approached me.
Mister Si, don't you think I've gotten more amazing since we haven't seen each other? I trained hard on my own, thinking about the disappointments in the Poison Cave.
Uncle, I also trained my skill to apply a little faster and more accurately.
Yes, you both did well. You really seemed to work better together than you did in the Poison Ant cave.
They laughed contentedly at my compliment.
It's worth the effort. Shorty, your support wasn't bad, either.
Idiot Taeho! Don't overdo it when you're fighting. It's hard to support.
I've never fought too hard.
You may think so, but do you know how recklessly you were moving?
Oh, really? I'm sorry.
You can't just trust in my support! You have to always think about the worst."
The two immediately shared their battle feedback.
While looking at the two happily, Jin approached the side.
Jin, aren't the two amazing? I think the kids have matured a lot.
They're amazing, too. But I think you were more amazing.
What did I do?
Did you just fight while stopping the monster?
Uh were you watching?
Taeho and Sehee were fighting in a flashy way, so I thought I wouldn't stand out.
I thought no one would notice me.
I think you're the most monstrous among the new recruits.
Originally, I was going to deal with them only with my swordsmanship. But, the sword was so bad that I couldn't pierce the monsters skin.
Huh? You can't pierce the skin. I don't think it's that bad. Didn't you use Reinforcement magic?
Reinforcement magic? I don't know anything of that kind.
Huh, you really didn't know. What kind of weapon have you used so far?
Jin looked at me with a despondent look on his face.
Judging from his reaction, I think the sword that Alfred lent was something amazing.
Cho Jaeheon was once a promising rookie.
Many people recognized his talent and thought he would quickly become an attacker in the attack squad, but he, who was confident, neglected to put in the effort since he was blinded by his talent.
However, Cho Jaeheon did not admit his mistake.
He kept saying that it was because of the incompetent party members and because of the stupid operation of the guild.
He spent such a meaningless time wandering around the party and the guild.
When he belatedly came to his senses, it was already 10-year since he became an awakened person, while spending the most time in the moderately medium-sized crack.
During that time, his skills got recognized, and entered the Guardians Guild, but he could no longer dream of being in an attack squad.
When he was at the bottom of his career, new guild members appeared in front of Cho Jaeheon, who compromised on reality.
They were young and talented, and many people placed expectations on them.
It felt as if he was seeing himself from the past.
At first, he was full of confidence.
He ignored them because they were children who didn't know how the world works, and he deliberately tried to fill his self-esteem by making them deal with monster corpses.
However, the talent of the new guild member was much more dazzling than he expected.
After successfully completing the first battle, their performance continued.
As the battle continued, the newcomers began to show off their superior skills.
The sense and experience he had accumulated throughout his life felt denied before the talent of the rookie.
His stomach felt twisted.
The better they performed, the more ridiculed his foolish past felt.
This dark feeling gradually eroded Cho Jaeheon's mind.
I definitely had it, too! Shining talent that anyone would envy!'
The emotion that began to twist went uncontrollable.
Not only the new guild members, but he also felt that Choi Sunoh and Shin Hyuwon were also ignoring him.
The twisted emotions that filled the mind blurred even the reason.
A single thought kept coming to his mind.
I have to get back at the guys who ignored me!
The Raptor hunt went successfully.
In particular, the performance of new guild members that centered around Taeho and Sehe was remarkable.
I heard that highly talented newbies were joining, but I didn't expect this.
I feel like we're getting help, rather than helping them.
Shin Hyuwon and Choi Sunoh praised our performance and showed a friendly attitude.
In a harmonious atmosphere, only one person, Cho Jaeheon, stood far away and alone.
However, no one cared about him because of his selfish and rude behavior.
The guys you see over there are the last bunch of raptors. Do you see the biggest dark red Raptor in the middle? That's the boss monster, the leader of the Raptors.
Shin Hyuwon explained, pointing to a group of Raptors in the distance.
It boasted the largest number of Raptors I've ever met.
As you can see, the last group of raptors is so large in number that we rarely catch them all at once. It's a common tactic to draw attention and divide up."
Usually, you have to divide it into two battles. Let's deal with the weakest Raptors first, then with the red Raptors and the large one.
Following Shin Hyuwon, Choi Sunoh added an explanation.
Cho Jaeheon, who led the operation, paid no attention to the story.
He just looked at the raptors with a blank look on his face.
So how do we get their attention?
I'll take care of that. You can leave it to my Summon.
Bippi! Bippi! Bippi!
At my question, Shin Hyuwon summoned her Summon.
Her Summon did not have any special combat capabilities but seemed to specialize in the role of scouting and attracting the attention of the enemy.
Let's take a break and do the final maintenance, and start the battle By the way, where is Cho Jaeheon.
Choi Sunoh looked around for Cho Jaeheon, who suddenly disappeared.
Huh? He's over there?
Where Taeho was pointing, Cho Jaeheon was seen approaching the raptor group.
Huh, what is he doing?
Choi Sunoh shouted in a tensed voice.
Cho Jaeheon, standing close to the crowd, smiled meanly looking at us.
You guys ignored me. This is my judgment. Get yourself F*cked !
He began to strike down the shield and held his sword high.
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!
Choi Sunoh and Shin Hyuwon who understood what he was doing shouted in astonishment.
That crazy idiot?
It's provocation. Raptors will react soon!!
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, the screams of the raptors could be heard.
Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
Rage flashed in the eyes of all Raptors.
Cho Jaeheon, who checked the reaction, quickly left the place.
Raptors began to approach us, wary of us, not running towards Cho Jaeheon.
Sehe asked with a puzzled look.
Why are they rushing to our side?
This side is more dangerous because there are many in numbers. I think he must have calculated all this.
Choi Sunoh explained the situation and bit his lips tightly.
We need to get ready for battle first. Even if we run away, we'll be caught up with a bunch of raptors soon.
Jin made the most rational judgment in the urgent situation.
Jin, will it be okay?
It's not a desperate situation, but it's indeed a little dangerous. The one who was in charge of the front left. If we do something wrong, we might get hurt badly and
He blurted out his words with an uneasy look.
Taeho and Sehe's anxious eyes turned to me.
Mister
Uncle
There was a vague expectation and strong trust in their eyes, that seemed to believe that I would solve any problem.
It was similar to the way Speranza looked at me when she had a hard time.
I can't help but to live up to those expectations.
I took out the summoners stone that I had received from Yerin in advance.
It was more upgraded than the one used in the Poison ant cave.
I focused my consciousness on the Summoners stone and searched for the soul to Summon.
I thought it wouldn't be easy because it was my first time trying to summon them, but they quickly responded to my call.
As I learned, I drew out the responding souls as if I was fishing.
Whoo!
Whoo!
Whoo!
Strong light and vibration spread from the summoning stone.
Soon after, three large groups of light took shape in front of me.
This, this?
Huh?
Choi Sunoh and Shin Hyuwon swallowed their saliva as they saw the large Summon in front of them.
Wow! Long time no see.
Taeho welcomed them with a welcome look, while Sehe and Jin quickly recognized their identity and smiled.
Kikikikiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!
Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Kikiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
For the first time as a Summon, General Poison Ants appeared in front of me.
