Chapter 86 – Attracting
“Even if it’s not okay, there is no one else who can handle it without me, right?”
“……”
At my words, the people in Cheonbu made faces that were both embarrassed and apologetic.
It wasn’t their time to worry about me.
In this hunt, the thousand divisions will suffer considerably more damage than me.
I was only using them to hunt Heilang and keep the children safe.
So I just paid more attention so that they could hold on a little longer.
There were only 4 that I could identify, not only Heilang, which was a high-level corrosive attack, but also a medium-level one.
And there are more low-level corrosive monsters than I thought.
Even if I was in charge of Heilang,
It seemed that there were not many people in the heavenly department who could handle the intermediate level erosion alone.
Snow White, an old man, and that middle-aged man named Daesahyung.
It was a bit unsettling that there were only three humans who could hold the intermediate level in check.
“……Come to think of it, where did Cheonsu Lake go?”
I was thinking of cooking it later, but at some point I forgot.
It seemed like I hadn’t seen it even after coming here.
Then I remembered because I was in a hurry.
Cheon Su-ho is a Class C Awakener.
I didn’t like it, but I couldn’t deny that it was a good power.
Would you know
If he fights hard and dies valiantly, I’m inclined to give him an indulgence.
“The death penalty is excommunicated.”
“That, is it?”
I was taken aback by Seolhwa’s answer.
It was unexpected.
I thought I was going to cast wrap my family.
He was even excommunicated, so it seemed that Munju’s grandpa had poisoned his heart.
Grandpa… Are you that angry?
Cheon Soo-ho was unnecessarily lucky.
‘Shit. That’s absurd. I heard that even dog poop can’t be used for medicine.’
He was also the one I didn’t like.
What are you doing to find a missing person?
The operation was simple.
There was neither time nor brain to set up complex operations.
While I lure and fight, Cheonbubu joins and fights.
Even if Cheonbumun attracted the attention of the mid-level erosive monsters, he was confident that he could easily catch Heilang.
“Nanggun is planning to lure Heilang to this place.”
An undeveloped wasteland next to Heaven’s residence.
I also thought about choosing a place a little further away.
It may have been a useless worry, but if something went wrong and you were robbed of an empty house, it would be fatal.
Looking at him, he seemed like a guy who would stay.
It was for the safety of the children that I was complicating things like this.
If I were alone
No matter what happens to the Heavenly Division, just engage in guerrilla warfare.
Or you can go to Cheongju and earn skill points.
Then, even if it takes time, in the end, the hunt of Heilang will be successful.
In return, the cloth section will be in tatters.
‘If you don’t have luck, you’ll be killed….’
But I’m not alone.
If I get robbed of an empty house while hunting in a distant place, all my actions up until now will have no meaning.
So I couldn’t possibly overlook it.
If possible, I had to fight in a place close to this place.
The downside is that if the heavenly department can’t hold out, the monsters may attack without giving people a chance to prepare.
However, I wanted to put them within the scope of my ability to deal with them when they were in danger.
I thought about waiting for them to come, but then I can’t choose the battlefield.
And it was more likely to be a mess than an orderly situation.
“……..That is all. Do you have any other opinions?”
Seolhwa finished explaining the operation and looked around.
“……..”
Grandpa Munju didn’t seem to have any objection.
What is dangerous to the contents of the operation is a situation in which only I bear the burden.
So, for them, there was no better opportunity than this.

The day was bright.
“Brother.”
“Husband.”
The faces of the children who knew that I was going to lure the monster were full of worries.
‘Who cares about whom….’
After stroking their hair, he escaped from the heavenly department.
Magical power wrapped around my body at my will.
Magical power formed a smooth shape and created a simple black body armor.
And from the fingertips, the body gradually became transparent.
At first, I had to see the gains.
It was necessary to make a profit and balance the Cheonbumun and Heilang groups at least a little.
I moved quickly and used my senses to find them.
I found a mid-level monster dog with brown and black spots in a place quite far from the Cheonbu.
In the middle of the road, I was lying on my stomach, which was good for selling.
‘Is it Sigorjav?’
Several lower-class monster dogs were scattered around.
They ignored low-level junk mobs that were not a threat.
However, even if they became invisible, they are beasts whose senses are more sensitive than humans.
I approached carefully so as not to be noticed.
Intermediate monster dog pricks its ears to see what’s strange and sniffs it.
Being a beast, I felt good.
However, it is still at the stage of doubt.
It must be mortally wounded or killed instantly.
Still, the name is a medium-grade corroded body.
‘Is it possible with one blow?’
But I couldn’t miss this opportunity.
If it wasn’t for that, there would be no reason to secretly approach like this.
He got closer and took out the giant hammer, Mjolnir, and lifted it high.
He raised his head as if he sensed something strange.
Just like that, I hit Mjolnir at the guy’s head.
He noticed the moment I hit him and tried to avoid it, but it was a little too late.
-Bang!
A tremendous roar echoed through the streets.
It was not possible to quietly deal with an intermediate level corrosive body with solid magic defense.
-Kang!!
It was said to be a medium-grade erosion body, and it endured one shot.
However, it seemed that he was in a dying state, unable to control his body due to the considerable shock.
He had his skull slightly sunken, and his eyeballs were bizarrely spinning in different directions.
I couldn’t miss this opportunity.
Just like that, I hit the hammer once more.
– Whoops!
-Thud!
Eventually, the man’s head was crushed.
〈medium erosion treated.〉
〈Acquired 1 skill point.〉
[Master. A high-level corroding body is rapidly approaching.]
Heilang was running at a frightening speed.
‘Huh… I didn’t expect to come running right away like that….’
The response was much faster than expected.
He quickly took the manastone from the corpse of the monster with the broken head and broke his stealth.
From now on, it was the time of attraction.
I thought about hiding and continuing to attack, but I couldn’t ignore the case of them ignoring me and running straight into the heavenly department.
What would happen if the tanker couldn’t play the role of a tanker?
Of course, it would be a mess, so it was necessary to faithfully play the role of a tanker.
-Aww!!
Heukrang, who discovered me after unfastening my invisible shoes, came running and howled.
I put Mjolnir in my inventory and ran quickly to avoid him.
-Kreung. Kreung. Panting!
I could feel the monstrous dogs swarming around me.
A low-ranking monster dog blocked my way.
The spear that quickly came out of the inventory was caught in my hand and shot straight away in an instant.
In an instant, the spear tip shattered his head.
〈Lesser Erosion Kills: 3 / 10 〉
Those poor bastards are just ingredients for my level up.
‘I wish they were more crowded.’
Even if it’s a junk mob, if you catch 7 more, it’s a valuable skill point.
-Kuong!!
Heilang chased after me and let out a roar.
Lesser corrosive monsters that came running quickly scattered from my path.
I felt that I was strong, and it was like I spread the small rice.
‘Crazy… Fuck….’
It was absurd that it moved faster than humans and in perfect order.
I felt it when I was a cat monster, but these guys did a lot of things that crossed the line in human terms.
Lesser monster dogs spread a wide distance around them,
Only Heilang and the mid-level monster dogs were rapidly approaching me and chasing me.
-Kuong!!
I felt his attack coming from behind.
It was fast, even though it was said to be a four-legged animal.
He summoned a giant shield behind his back from his inventory.
It was said to be a strong shield, but that alone was not enough.
The shield was strengthened by enclosing it with magical power.
-Thud!
As the impact was applied to the shield, the body jumped forward.
His attacks gave me good momentum.
-Kuong!
It seemed that he was pissed off when I ran away in a strange way.
I headed for the promised battlefield while safely dragging the group of Heilang monsters.

About 30 thousand soldiers were all wearing black suits.
A firm determination flashed in their eyes.
-Thud. Thud.
A dull explosion sounded from afar. And the sound was getting closer.
“Looks like Prince Nang is coming.”
“Sir, it’s Seolhwa.”
Lee Ji-ah, who was next to Seol-hwa, sang Seol-hwa anxiously.
“My lord is strong. It will be fine.”
Baek Seol-hwa comforted Lee Ji-ah, hiding her own insecurities.
-Bang! Bang! Bang!
The sound of a bomb exploding got closer and closer, and soon the shape of a black person was revealed.
A human wrapped in simple black armor.
I could tell that it was Unho just by his familiar large body.
Behind him, a group of Heilangs followed Unho.
“Oh, brother!”
When Woon-ho reached his lure, the undeveloped wasteland, he stopped running and started fighting Heilang.
Contrary to their concerns, he looked fine with no injuries.
Surrounded by monsters, I could see Unho wielding a huge greatsword without hesitation.
A huge black shield that mysteriously appears in the air and defends against the attacks of monster dogs at the right moment.
It was colorless to be worried, but he seemed relaxed.
“My lord has arrived.”
“It is time to put an end to the grudge against Heilang. Let’s go.”
At Baektaesan’s command, the warriors of Cheonbu drew their swords and quickly ran away.
