Episode 39
‘I don’t know either.’
It seems like Son Seo-yeon, this guy named Han Kang-hyuk, and Sal-seong are all idiots.
In any case, people ignored the salseong that Han Kang-hyuk mentioned without paying much attention to it.
Because it was something no one had heard of except Han Kang-hyuk.
And before we knew it, people’s interests had shifted to party composition.
The 40 minutes that Bandage Man had given us was getting closer and closer.
“Hoyoung Lee, we are in the same party, right?”
Seo Jun-ho’s eyes looked slightly anxious as he asked me a question.
When I smiled and nodded, only then did Seo Jun-ho breathe a sigh of relief.
I guess he thought I might reject him.
“Why take something so obvious?”
“Because Lee Ho-young’s expression looks so serious right now.”
My only interest now is Han Kang-hyuk.
I wanted to know why.
The reason why I asked others about Salseong even though I myself am a Salseong.
The best way to satisfy your curiosity is to become his colleague.
“Mr. Han Kang-hyuk. “Have you saved all the party members?”
In the end, I approached Han Kang-hyuk first.
“no. yet.”
“Then what about us?”
I pointed to Seo Jun-ho behind me.
I thought it would be better to appeal to Seo Jun-ho, who was at a decent level, rather than me, who was at a low level.
As a result, Han Kang-hyuk was not interested in Seo Jun-ho at all.
“Mr. Lee Ho-young. “You are a funny person.”
What. Suddenly.
Moreover, you said something like this when you first met.
As expected, it was definitely a tortoise.
Han Kang-hyuk continued to laugh while looking at my face.
“Do you think my face is funny?”
“yes. “It’s very fun.”
The power of killing that has been revealed so far is that one can see the murderous actions of others.
It was clear that Han Kang-hyuk was seeing that in me right now.
If my face is really funny, I have nothing to say.
“great. “I accept it.”
Han Kang-hyuk accepted my offer without much hesitation.
“However, there is a condition. “I will rescue the last party member.”
“Of course.”
There was no reason to reject the conditions put forward by Han Kang-hyuk.
It doesn’t matter what the party composition is.
After a while, Han Kang-hyuk brought in a young female player.
Ordinary stats at an ordinary level. Of course, it wasn’t a murder castle, and there was nothing particularly unusual about it.
Moreover, the position is that of a truly ordinary woman who is not from the same district as Han Kang-hyuk.
What on earth? What is this woman’s identity?
Han Kang-hyuk looked at me and spoke with his mouth.
“It’s just my taste.”
It was clear that there were no normal people in the killing spree.
* * *
After the 40 minutes allotted for the party composition had passed, Bandage Man spoke again.
Now that I think about it, this bandaged guy just watched our conversation in silence for a long time.
Just like his behavior, there is no such thing as a patient in the final stage of voyeurism.
– It was very fun. It was also impressive to see information shared before forming the party.
As expected, I was seeing and hearing everything.
– But is all the information you gathered really true? Cough. I’ll leave that to your imagination, and now get the first level mission.
1. Mission: Jaga Mammoth Hunting
2. Time limit: 120 minutes
When the mission was revealed, a portal the size of a gate opened in the air.
Bandage Man’s voice became even more angry.
– There are a total of nine parties. But what? There are only eight mammoths. Cough.
Damn it.
Summarizing Bandage Man’s words, the qualification renewal process seemed to consist of several stages.
The worse news is that some players may not be able to renew their qualifications from stage 1.
“So, will the party that fails to hunt the Jagam Mammoth die after 120 minutes?”
Someone asked Bandage Man a question.
This was an important issue for everyone.
One of nine parties. Because there is no law that says I can’t be that one.
– Didn’t I tell you? There is no need for unemployed players in this tower. However, I would like to try to be generous in step 1. Let me create one more condition for clearing the mission.
After Bandage Man finished speaking, a new sentence was added under the second item of the message.

3. Extra condition: If you kill another player within the portal, you will receive the same effect as hunting the Jagam Mammoth.
The bandaged child seemed not to know the dictionary meaning of magnanimity.
“Are you telling us to murder each other?”
“It would be easier if we just added one more mammoth!”
-Why are you acting like children? You are not here to play house!
At that moment, the words “crazy guy” filled my throat.
Why are the tower guys so anxious to stop people from killing each other?
– You’d better hurry from now on. Because even at this very moment, the time limit is running out.
As soon as Bandage Man finished speaking, the players flowed out into the portal.
If the test proceeds as normal, at least four of the gladiators will die.
Of course, it didn’t occur to me that it would be our party.
[Pass through the portal.]
Because I have a minimap skill.
[The minimap turns ON.]
A map of the world in the portal unfolded before my eyes.
Thirty-six red dots and hundreds of blue dots. And eight black dots were implemented on the map.
The black dot must be the Jagam mammoth.
From now on, we just need to take a picture of one of these and move it.
The henchman monsters represented by blue dots cannot be harmed, so you can move while catching them.
“If everyone agrees, I would like to become a guide.”
I suggested it to the other three.
Strictly speaking, it is for two people.
Seo Jun-ho will agree unconditionally.
“Lee Ho-young is quite a proactive person, isn’t he? “Seo Jun-ho next to you is at a much higher level.”
Han Kang-hyuk looked at me and Seo Jun-ho in turn and smiled.
Now he’s testing me.
If you had seen my killing spree with Salseong’s eyes, you would have known that I was not ordinary.
Seo Jun-ho, who knew nothing, hastily explained.
“You will understand that once you experience Lee Ho-young! Hoyoung Lee was the best player in our district!”
“Hoo! At this level, he feels more like a cult leader than a gladiator, right? “Kkkkkk.”
To be honest, I was a little embarrassed when I heard Seo Jun-ho’s comment just now.
“older brothers! Are you not in a hurry? “Right now, other parties are busy completing missions, but we’re the only ones wondering what this is!”
Lee Mi-ho, who was brought in by Han Kang-hyuk, was a little irritated.
“great. First, let’s trust Hoyoung Lee. Because it would be a shame to upset our sweet lady any further. “Kkkkkk.”
Han Kang-hyuk.
I think I need to take the opportunity and have a bit of a fight with this guy.
* * *
The combination of our party was better than I expected.
Although they were all gladiators, each had a distinct personality.
Seo Jun-ho’s sword was simple,
Lee Mi-ho was reckless,
Han Kang-hyuk just counted.
I naturally came to judge Han Kang-hyuk’s inaction based on Son Seo-yeon.
If Son Seo-yeon was sophisticated from a distance, Han Kang-hyuk was very aggressive at close range.
It feels like being struck to death with a sword rather than being cut sharply.
There was a reason to feel that way.
Auror Blade.
Even before Han Kang-hyuk’s sword touched the monster’s body, the sword energy was already released and exploded.
Kuehhh!
The red orcs that appeared as henchman monsters were easily cut down by our swords.
[Your level has increased.]
The leveling up of the three people excluding me went smoothly.
“You guys are better than you think?”
Lee Mi-ho seemed to finally like the party combination.
And suddenly there was a message sent to me by the wise man’s status window.
[Information: A hidden piece was found in the northeast. A mammoth is trapped within the barrier.]
At that moment, a golden dot appeared at the top of the minimap.
This was the moment when the number of mammoths increased from eight to nine.
Maybe it means that everyone can survive the first stage mission.
But what is more meaningful than that is that this golden dot is a hidden piece.
“Let’s change our course slightly to the northeast.”
“Why?”
Han Kang-hyuk came forward to question my suggestion.
“Because it feels better that way. I’m confessing it now, but I’m very lucky. “It’s amazing.”
“Believing is just luck. Lee Ho-young is more ruthless than he looks.”
“So you plan to oppose it?”
“no. I follow without saying anything. “Kkkkkk.”
I’ve come to a conclusion now, but Han Kang-hyuk doesn’t seem to be very interested in hunting mammoths.
It feels like if we get a little lost, they will immediately start killing.
I also seemed to understand why Lee Mi-ho was chosen.
“Why do you guys keep saying this and that? “If it’s decided, let’s go quickly!”
This guy is fierce without thinking much.
In any case, it would be perfect to be killed by Han Kang-hyuk’s single sword.
I looked at the overall situation through the minimap.
Currently, all players are alive.
Four mammoths have already died.
It certainly seems that among the players who made it to the 8th floor, there is no one who can be called a hole.
“Then let’s move quickly.”
I think it would be best to finish the mission as quickly as possible.
I don’t know why, but it’s Han Kang-hyuk. This guy is getting more and more anxious.
* * *
[The leader of the Jagam Mammoth has been discovered.]
In the end, we encountered a hidden piece from the northeast.
This guy was even the leader of the monster we were looking for.
It will be much larger and stronger than other Jagam mammoths.
Since it is a hidden piece, the reward from hunting will be great.
“The problem is that this guy is trapped inside the barrier.”
A hemispherical barrier surrounding a monster.
I tried to gauge its strength by tapping it with my hand, but it was not at a level where I could break it using normal methods.
But there was no way the wise man’s status window would present me with rice cake that I couldn’t eat.
There must be a way to break this barrier.
And right then, the wise man sent a message.
[Information: The barrier automatically opens when 5 Jagam Mammoths die.]
also. There was no way there was no way.
It’s very simple too. A problem that can be solved if you just wait.
Currently, 4 mammoths are dead, so now only 1 remains.
But the problem is Han Kang-hyuk.
“Mr. Lee Ho-young. What are you going to do now? “I think it’s a little late to go back from here.”
“Let’s wait a little bit. “I think this barrier will open soon.”
“How can you be sure of that?”
“I told you. “I am a lucky person.”
I once again kept an eye on the overall situation on the minimap.
And that moment.
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssshhhh!
There was a flash of light and blood splattered.
Han Kang-hyuk committed an accident without warning.
Wow!
Due to the sudden attack from behind, Lee Mi-ho fell down without even letting out a scream.
“What are you doing!”
Seo Jun-ho shouted, surprised by Han Kang-hyuk’s sudden behavior.
But to Han Kang-hyuk, Seo Jun-ho is like a non-existent person.
His eyes were only focused on me.
“Unfortunately, I was the only one who passed the first stage of the mission.”
“Crazy guy! “I told you to wait!”
“I just don’t have enough patience. “I just hate waiting.”
Han Kang-hyuk looked at me and smiled evilly.
I already experienced that Sal-seong was insane through Son Seo-yeon, but I felt like Han Kang-hyuk was one step above.
“Hoyoung Lee, I’ve already tasted blood. What should I do?”
“What does it mean?”
“I want to do the sword dance like crazy right now.”
In the end, Han Kang-hyuk pointed his sword at me.
“Sword dance? It’s good. But before that, I have one thing to tell you.”
“Suddenly? “I think he’s trying to act out of fear.”
Han Kang-hyuk grinned and loaded his sword with aura.
The flash of auror sparkles brightly.
“I’d like to talk about Salseong.”
I also smiled while looking at Han Kang-hyuk.
