Chapter 14
Two S-Class people and one F-Class person.
It is clear who will be the poor sacrifice.
I think Im doomed?
While I was preparing for death.
The S-Class hunters were still in a scary mood.
Whats different about me? There is the same risk. Besides, I have already sacrificed myself twice.
What about Kim Kiryeo? Theres another hunter over there, so why dont you ask him?
There are two S-Class Hunters, and do you want me to pass the duty to F-Class Hunters?
Jung Haseong raised the red sword he was holding.
He acted as if he would force his blood to be drawn if he didnt cooperate.
I dont know what that persons swordsmanship skills are, but its probably not good to get caught up in a fight with an S-Class hunter.
Please dont pay attention to this side.
I was afraid that sparks would fly, so I slowly stepped back. (t/n : means sparks would fly, but it also has other meaning anger.)
But it was that moment.
Grrrrr
The growl of a beast fills the hall.
When they heard this, the S-Class Hunters stopped talking and rolled their eyes at the same time; coincidentally, their gazes stopped in the place where I was standing.
So that means this beast is behind me.
No, wait a minute.
I forced myself to turn my neck, which wasnt working well because of the tension. Then, the scene that I didnt want to see the most unfolded in front of my eyes.
Doesnt it seem like there hasnt been anything like that in this place?
Eight black wolves whose bodies are made of shadows.
Its monsters. A monster appeared from a blank wall.
Awooooooo!
The leader of the black wolf pack howled loudly into the air.
This may have been a call for a friend, but the new black wolf that appeared next spread out widely, as if coloring this room, which had only pure white light, black.
Why did a monster suddenly appear?
The lions eyes are shining.
In the midst of confusion, Jung Haseong gave an answer. Among them, he was the one with the most experience in attacking the gate.
It seems to be a system where a monster wave occurs if blood is not sacrificed for a certain period of time.
You will be pushed if you take too long to choose a sacrifice. Is this it!
There was no time to curse at it. Then, a pack of black wolves showed up and ran straight at us.
Their teeth and claws are hardened with blue magic, so they could easily cut through Kim Kiryeos delicate fat.
Aaargh!
When a person is too surprised, its natural that they cant scream.
I swallowed my breath and walked quickly to avoid the black wolves.
How long can I beat the wolf on foot?
However, because Kim Kiryeos legs couldnt run, there was no way for me to get away.
I tried hard not to look, but one black wolf had already caught up with me.
Is being torn apart the only thing left now?
I was curious about the structure of the human body, but I didnt say I wanted to see it in person!
I closed my eyes tight because I couldnt bear to face the upcoming dismantle show.
But the fear was only for a moment.
Roarrr!!
Ugh?
A red light passes by for a moment beyond the thin eyelids.
At the same time, I felt a tingling heat on my skin.
When I open my eyes, what I see is an intense flame burning the monster.
Fire? A flame in the empty air?
I recalled the situation I experienced at the beginning of the dungeon.
Now that I think about it, there was a magician who used fire magic on a door that couldnt be opened.
Please step back.
Jung Haseong!
He adjusted his sword and approached. And as if protecting me, he took the lead and started defeating the black wolf.
The head of a monster falling from a powerful sword strikes like a strong wave.
This is the magic of a primitive magician?
Grrrr!
The surroundings were once again filled with flames due to the awakening skill used by Jung Haseong.
Is it possible to ignite this much firepower all at once?
I thought as I watched Jung Haseong handling flames.
At this level, I cant just ignore him as a primitive magician, right?
Besides, its not just Jung Haseong.
The splendid flames caught my attention and I forgot about it for a moment, but there was one more top-level awakened person here.
Hmm.
Kang Changho.
Even when a monster appeared, he watched the situation from his spot and made no move until a black wolf rushed at him.
He took out his hand from his pocket and struck the black wolfs long snout from top to bottom.
The black wolfs head then exploded without leaving a trace after being struck by a fist.
Looking at its weak body, its probably a C-Class monster.
Such an enormous strength
Is Kang Changhos awakening skill a strengthening of his body?
Huh? Even if I regain my magic, I think itll be difficult to conquer the earth?
When I came to my senses, I found that the S-Class hunters had slaughtered the surrounding monsters in an instant.
I turned pale.
Whats comforting in the meantime is that both Jung Haseong and Kang Changho seem to use only the first-line abilities that they initially awakened
Does it matter whether there are 1 or 2 attributes now?
But I only use 0 attributes?
Damn it.
Lets avoid fighting the S-Class Hunters until I regain my magic.
I made up my mind. The next thing was Kang Changho opening his mouth.
It has a time limit.
Kang Changho lightly shook off the remains of black wolf from his arms and walked somewhere.
The place he headed was none other than the lion statue.
Then, Kang Chang-ho offered a sacrifice by putting his arm into the lion statue without anyone stopping him.
Guung
The lion statue, satisfied after drinking Kang Changhos blood, opens the door.
If theres a trap where monsters pop out, theres nothing I can do.
I didnt know he could cooperate so easily.
I wont get my back pierced in an S-Class fight!
Jung Haseongs expression also softened due to his actions. It was the moment when a dramatic peace treaty was signed.
Whos next?
We take turns opening the door. We dont know if the F-Classs body will be able to withstand it.
And through all of this, I came to know the humanity of Jung Haseong.
Hunter Jung Haseong
When he found out that I was F-Class, he was the first to exclude me as a sacrifice candidate, and he also protected me when a monster appeared.
Jung Haseong was completely on the side of the weak, to the extent that one could truly think of him as a national hero.
Thanks to him, Im moving forward without a single drop of blood, but I feel a bit sorry at this point.
The 5th room.
I stared at Jung Haseong, who was suffering from anemia after offering the sacrifice, in surprise.
Jung Haseong-ssi, are you okay?
But he quickly changed his expression and spoke coldly.
This kind of unexpected gates are usually small. It wont be long until the exit.
The guy, whose skin was already white, was now so pale that it made his face look really tired.
I was worried that Jung Haseong would fall, so I walked with my eyes fixed on him. Therefore, I didnt even notice that the man who took the lead had stopped.
Hmm?
This time, its Kang Changhos turn to open the door.
However, he didnt take action and just looked down at Jung Haseong who followed him.
Jung Haseong.
It seems that he has something to say.
Lets stop proceeding for a moment.
Why?
Now that I think about it, there is no certainty that there is an exit beyond this. Our bodies slowly began to feel strained.
There might be a clue we missed, so why not take a moment to investigate the room we passed by?
It appears to be a reasonable suggestion.
However, Jung Haseongs response was cold.
Going back is just an excuse; isnt it actually a plan to buy time?
What do you think of people?
The standard attack for EX-Class gates is to follow the conditions presented. You probably dont know either.
And at this time, a name I had heard from somewhere came out of Jung Haseongs mouth.
I dont know if youre planning to hit me in a chaotic situation after causing a monster wave. Just like Choi Jin.
The No. 1 Hunter raised his head and spoke clearly, as if asking when he would stagger.
Isnt your mentality that it would be better for everyone to die together than to suffer losses yourself?
Jung Haseong.
I can never trust you, and I dont have time to get stuck in a gate like this. Even a moment is busy (t/n : (Even a moment is busy) mean to be very busy to such an extent that even a very short moment feels precious.)
He conveyed his opinion in a sharp voice that was as sharp as the sword hanging at his waist.
I wont say much. Open the door first.
At this rate, what if they actually do get into a fight?
I busily rolled my eyes between them.
However
Okay.
This is also unexpected.
Kang Changho remained silent for a moment, then lightly raised his hands in surrender.
Ill open it right away, so dont set me up like that.
It was surprising that this person would give up so easily.
I didnt say I wouldnt help with the raid now. And there is some misunderstanding between us.
What misunderstanding?
What happened to Choi Jin was an accident. Im not a crazy person who blindly attacks fellow hunters.
His calm explanation continued.
Of course, its true that Im an ex-convict, so I understand I cant be trusted. But Jung Haseong, you are too wary of me right now.
That.
Isnt that why you want to get out of here quickly and are making hasty choices?
.
Think seriously about what I said earlier. I think its better to go back at least once.
All right.
Lets open the door first.
Then Kang Changho turned around and put his arm into the lions jaw.
The room vibrated with the sound of the lock being unlocked. Then the door opened.
As expected, I cant believe rumors.
He seems like a person with common sense.
But at that moment.
I opened my eyes wide when I saw Kang Changho. Jung Haseong was also surprised.
This!
Kang Changho-ssi!
Kang Changho placed his hand on his lion statue and fell halfway down.
He seemed to feel dizzy, like Jung Haseong. He took a deep breath and spoke.
Dont worry about it. I brought in a recovery medicine.
After hearing that, I can finally see it.
There is a hip bag hanging around Kang Changhos waist, and that small bag probably contains medicine.
After drinking, I will be able to open the door about two more times.
Leaning on his knees, he stood up with difficulty.
Jung Haseong was worried for a while when he saw the scene, and then he turned around and said, taking the lead.
If we cant see the exit from the next room, well look for another way.
I was worried that I might have to help Kang Changho, so I walked a little further back from Jung Haseong.
Kang Changho, who was standing next to him, seemed to go through his bag and take out a small glass bottle.
Is that recovery medicine?
However, I was astonished to see what happened immediately afterward, when I saw how Earthlings used medicine.
Clank!
Kang Changho swung the potion bottle he was holding at Jung Haseongs head and shattered it.
The liquid that flowed from the broken bottle instantly vaporized in the air.
Jung Haseong, who was attacked, turned around late, but he had already been exposed to the drug.
Tsk!
Then Jung Haseong loses consciousness and falls to the ground.
Paralysis? Sleep? I dont know exactly what the effect is.
Oh, it works well for S-Class too.
First of all, I know that something like that is not recovery medicine.
