Episode 30
[High firepower. detect. Priority. exclusion.]
Yikes!
The Stone Golem broke through the siege of melee hunters.
Numerous cracks carved into the body.
There was soot everywhere and
The side was blown away all the way to the shoulder area.
However, the tanker made a mistake in aggro management, failed to stop them, and succeeded in digging inward.
I blocked the stone golem’s path.
[Use Oho Danmundo.]
[Consumes 80 Chaos.]
The black knife cut the stone golem’s body apart like cutting tofu.
A subtle energy shimmers on the surface of the knife.
It was shaped pottery.
-Contribution is low. Losses occur in the process of gaining experience points.
-Obtained 0.3% experience.
Is this because other hunters caused damage?
The experience gained was less than half of what it was when hunting alone.
‘There is such a penalty in player characteristics.
There was.’
Tsk.
I quenched my appetite.
There is one thing I learned while hunting with the Hwarang Guild raid team.
Contribution.
When defeating a monster, experience points were deducted as other hunters inflicted damage.
In the end, is it my destiny to hunt monsters alone?
Raid activities did not suit my temperament, so I was not disappointed.
Five hours into the strategy.
The raiding party traversed the forest and reached a mountain piled with large rocks.
The center of the island.
This is the territory of boss monsters.
“Quiet. I can’t hear anything.”
One hunter muttered.
As the saying goes, the size of the mountain was not small, but there was not a single common noise heard.
Choi Yu-jin, who had been quiet, opened her mouth.
“It means that the entire mountain is the boss monster’s territory.”
“Yes, yes.”
“I already told you, I won’t touch you.”
Hoo.
There was a reason why I had been watching the hunt.
“Vice-officer Captain. I expect you to perform without mistakes until the end.”
“All right!”
Seungwoo Yoo answered trustingly, then turned back and glanced at me.
“But I don’t know if Hunter Jeon Min-cheol will have a chance to step forward.”
“Still, it is true that we are colleagues standing shoulder to shoulder with each other. The rewards for boss raids will be distributed equally.”
“As expected, the engineering leader’s distribution is exceptional.”
Yujin Choi and Seungwoo Yoo.
The two praised each other as if they had planned it in advance.
There was absolutely no room for me to be involved in that conversation.
Ohh.
Are you going to water me like this?
A smile escaped my lips.
Obvious mockery.
The eyes of the two people who were talking, as well as the other raid hunters, were focused on me.
“The head of the engineering team. I told you last time that I’m allergic to bullshit.”
“You. You speak harshly.”
“Who was the one who gave me water first? At times like this, I end up hunting alone.”
” alone?”
Choi Yu-jin looks like she doesn’t understand.
It was worn.
“Let’s make a bet on who will take the boss’s head first, you raid group and me.”
“You’re joking too much.”
“Why? I laid out the board like this, so shouldn’t I do something like this?”
For the first time, a large crack appeared in Choi Yu-jin’s face, which had seemed solid.
He kept rolling his eyes and scanning my face as if he was trying to determine the truth of what he said a moment ago.
‘I have no intention of fitting in with you guys.
ji.’
The scenario planned by the Hwarang Guild raid.

When I move with a raid group of more than 20 people, my actions are naturally put on hold.
I was planning to turn this stage upside down from the beginning.
‘Your level. ‘I enjoyed it.’
I haven’t just been watching for the past five hours.
［Eyes of Truth］.
Perks obtained with player characteristics
I took full advantage of it to check the level of the hunters.
Skills and characteristics you have.
How to use it in practice.
And even hidden skills and equipment.
The strength of the Hwarang Guild raid has already been analyzed in detail.
‘can do.’
It is not overconfidence or arrogance.
I was confident that I could move faster than these slow guys and kill the boss monster first.
Yoo Seung-woo stepped forward.
“Commander, how about accepting that offer?”
“Second Air Captain. Are you sincere?”
“Hunter Jeon Min-cheol is famously the top hunter examiner. He must have some confidence in him.”
Contrary to what he said, Yoo Seung-woo’s face was red.
A battle of 20 people vs 1 person in the raid.
Your pride will be very hurt.
Not only Yoo Seung-woo, but other hunters also glared at me with death-like eyes.
Rookies of the Hwarang Guild.
Of course, he would have been offended as his pride was strong.
I added fuel to the fire that was starting to burn.
“There are conditions.”
“condition?”
“You are not stepping up in this fight.”
“Do you think you can win if I don’t get involved?”
“Of course. I’m the one who wins.”
Choi Yujin looked worried about my words.
I closed my eyes.
Of course you will be worried.
The plan I laid out first fell over.
You might be reluctant to bite into the suggestion I made.
“You are not humble.”
“It’s a nangjungjichu.”
“Do whatever you want. However, if you are in danger, I will step in.”
“That won’t happen.”
now.
The bet is settled.
As soon as I heard Choi Yujin’s answer, I immediately put my foot forward.
[Use Unryubo.]
[Consumes 2 chaos per second.]
The attack group moves away quickly.
I ran quickly and stepped on the rocky mountain.
‘Everything about the boss is mine.’
From now on, it’s a fight against time.
You can’t waste even a minute.
* * *
A rocky mountainous area.
I made my way upward, stepping on the flat ground.
A mountain without a single blade of grass.
The gray-white rocks and bright yellow sand were intertwined, so it felt desolate.
‘What kind of guy will pop out?’
Nothing has been revealed yet about the boss monster at Palbok-dong Gate.
What was revealed was that the mountainous area in the center of the island was all boss monster territory.
I moved through the mountainous area without hesitation, without hiding my presence.
Boss raid competition.
It is okay to be disturbed by the Hwarang Guild.
I glanced down the mountain.
The Hwarang Guild showed no signs of coming up.
He was wearing additional equipment on his feet, but I couldn’t tell what it was because of the distance.
all.
[You have escaped the limited distance of the Eye of Truth.]
I couldn’t confirm it even with my skills.
‘It doesn’t matter.’
Whatever you prepare.
All you have to do is kill the boss monster before that.
I ignored the waiting Hwarang Guild and ran through the mountainous area.
A response came immediately after a few minutes of walking between the rocks.
The sandy floor shook slightly.
Although it was a subtle vibration, it could not avoid the sensation amplified by the Seongcheonjogyekong.
‘This reaction. no way?’
I kicked the sandy ground and launched myself into a rocky area.
Immediately after taking the leap.
“Keeeeee!!!”
A loud sound that tore through the silence of the mountainous area rang loudly in my ears.
At the same time, I was standing there just now.
The whole thing disappeared.
The monster’s gaping maw.
‘It’s a sand worm.’
Sand worms are monsters that live in the desert.
The average body length is ten meters.
The lumpy carapace was hard enough not to make a single scratch even when stabbed with a spear or knife.
The wide-open mouth is packed with hundreds of teeth arranged in a spiral shape, capable of tearing apart what has been swallowed.
“Keeee!!”
The sandworm’s roar echoed across the rocky mountainous area.
“It’s so noisy.”
I frowned.
“Keeeet, keeeeee!”
The sand worm twisted its body as if responding to my voice.
Dozens of protrusions attached to the carapace were shot out.
［Dark Star – The Great Sword］
I swung the black sword and drew a circle.
Tea teating!
The sharp protrusions lost their strength and bounced in all directions.
As soon as the sand worm’s attack was in vain, it rushed towards me with its mouth wide open.
Weeeeeee!
Hundreds of tightly packed teeth turned like a drill.
Its mouth is made up of multiple eyes, like compound eyes.
there is.
When it bites its prey, its rotating snout tears it to shreds.
‘If you don’t show off your self-defense skills, you won’t be safe.’
I leapt again.
A sand worm passes by just an inch away.
He swung the Dark Star and cut the Sand Worm’s side.
teeing-
Instead of the feeling of cutting the fabric, my hands trembled from the strong elasticity.
I didn’t have enough strength.
The thick carapace easily deflected the slash that extended without any internal power.
There were a few scratches, but it was quickly regenerated like new and regained its smooth shine.
‘Sand worms are tough opponents.’
Although it has no eyes, it can determine the location of its prey through vibrations in the air and the ground, and moves quickly, unbecoming of its large size.
Even a troll with strong regenerative powers would be torn to pieces if thrown into that mouth.
One thing was certain.
It seems that the Hwarang Guild raid knew that the boss monster at Palbok-dong Gate was a sand worm.
‘There was a reason why the Hwarang Guild was cautious:
Sand worms have no eyes.
Instead, it senses vibrations and noises from the ground and feels the movement of prey.
Excellent defense, regenerative ability, and fast speed.
Because it moves below the ground, it can also demonstrate a tank’s aggro management ability.
difficult.
What if you ignore the front line and attack the magic hunters in the rear?
‘It will be more difficult for raiders.’
Covering the feet with something seemed to be an equipment setup to avoid detection by sand worms.
But what can I do?
I think I’ll catch the sand worm first.
‘Go with full power.’
[Activates Seongcheonjogyekong.]
[Chaos envelops the entire body. All abilities except chaos power increase by 40%.]
[Confusion consumes 2 per second.]
Holy power and dark mana.
Opposite energies collided and exploded in the world of images, creating an even more powerful force.
Powerful magical power flowing through the bloodstream.
[Holy fire envelops the entire body.]
[All abilities except chaos power are
Increases by 50%.]
[The blessing of healing dwells in your body.]
White flames cover the body.
A sacred flame that excludes evil and adds strength to life.
I was overflowing with power.
I rushed towards the sand worm while stepping on Unryubo.
“Keeeee!”
The sand worm rushes forward again. Several overlapping mouths rotated in opposite directions.
all.
Just before colliding with the guy, I turned my body sharply while maintaining acceleration.
Thanks to Unryubo’s posture correction effect, I was able to change direction without significantly reducing my speed.
[Use Oho Danmundo.]
[Consumes 80 Chaos.]
Phew!
The dark star wrapped in pottery cut through the thick carapace.
‘It’s shallow.’
The slash was effective, but the sand worm’s carapace was so thick that it could not penetrate inside.
Whi profit!
The sand worm’s tail came in front of me.
A long body up to 10 meters long.
When it failed to hit it with its head, it immediately pulled out its tail that had been buried under the ground.
I’m speechless.
Bigger than the rock under my feet
all.
A situation in which the body is lifted into the air to strike a sand worm.
can not avoid.
‘If that’s the case, hit it out.’
Transforms the Dark Star into an axe.
[Use the Taesanbu method.]
[Chaos 15 is consumed.]
It swung with all its might toward its tail, which was pointed like a spear.
Whoops-
The moment the ax and the tail collided, an enormous force pressed down as if the whole body would be crushed.
I shed some of my strength and pushed towards the station, towards my feet.
As a result of the repulsive force, its body rose higher, using its tail as support.
Tail at your feet.
‘If it doesn’t work once, how about twice!’
The Dark Star was once again transformed into a large sword.
[Use Oho Danmundo.]
[Consumes 80 Chaos.]
Suddenly!
It was shallow this time too.
Although the thick carapace was cut off, the slash did not have enough power to cause damage to the inside.
‘I don’t just have martial arts skills.’
[Use Hell’s Terror.]
[Consumes 100 horsepower.]
A gap created by Ohho Danmundo.
A spark of power was pushed there.
“Kiiiii?!!！”
The sand worm screamed.
You can’t see it, but you can feel it.
A soft spot of flesh under the carapace.
The hellfire burned the sand worm’s flesh, gradually increasing its size.
“Now, shall we find out who the prey is again?”
I sneered at the writhing sand worm.
