Chapter 34 – Chapter 34
Krrrr.
As we passed through the meadow and approached the forest, a bipedal wolf appeared.
A monster named Werewolf.
Although it walks on two legs, it is an ambiguous monster to be called a werewolf.
These are the monsters we have to deal with in this dungeon today.
The battle went smoothly.
In fact, it was a monster on a similar level to Honggwi, so there was no need to panic or worry.
However, there was one thing to be aware of.
As the dungeon was so vast, it was not completely dug up like Honggwi Cave.
It is said that something unknown may still exist.
According to known information, there are no other monsters other than Werewolves in this dungeon.
It is said that a boss monster called Lycan appeared in the early days of gate creation, but I heard that it has not been seen recently.
It was said that boss monsters were no longer created thanks to repeated raids like Honggwigul.
But they are wolves.
There is a high probability of being attacked in groups, so you can’t be relieved.
Especially for non-Awakeners like me.
This is one of the famous dungeons where ordinary people who participated as supporters get injured a lot.
However, if there is a healer, there is no case of losing life.
I also believed in the mobile text and decided to head for this dungeon.
If you don’t take risks like this, it’s difficult to get a high evaluation.
“Isol Kim.”
“Why!”
“The next wolf will be hunted by Kim I-sol alone.”
“What? I don’t mind, but will you be okay?”
“Yes. For some reason, you seem to be stronger than last time, so I’ll give it a try.”
He told her with a full smile on her face.
After hearing my words, Isol Kim was filled with her confidence.
She, too, seemed to notice that she had grown stronger.
Well, it’s natural since I increased the amount of mana last night, but it may not necessarily mean that the amount of mana has increased.
In the previous battle, there was little change from the last time, so I was thinking of watching him fight alone.
“If possible, cut the bones with a single knife. Don’t attack lightly like that!”
Over the past week, I have been looking for all of our team members’ video materials and have checked them several times.
It’s like mock sparring or fighting against clone goblins at the academy.
As a result, Kim Isol’s strengths and weaknesses were roughly grasped.
In terms of her swordsmanship skills alone, she was not far behind the other academy guys.
Even the speed of swinging the sword was at a high level considering the amount of mana.
On the other hand, as in the last battle with Hong-Gwi, her sword lacked power.
If you are a melee dealer dealing with low-level monsters like Red Ghost, you should be able to cut bones with a single knife.
However, she had accumulated only shallow wounds and had taken her enemies down by excessive blood loss.
Even now that I think about it, it was a really absurd way.
There are many reasons for her lack of power, but the first one is probably due to her lack of magical power.
That magic power must have doubled now, right?
Just as Goggle was able to use ten times as much heal with a 10-step jump, it’s a guess, but it’s highly likely that Kim Isol also doubled her mana.
I’m going to check that out now.
Krrrr.
As soon as another werewolf appeared, Isol Kim jumped out.
I observed her every move.
Werewolf, who was running zigzag and looking at the liver, confirmed that the enemy he had to deal with was Kim I-sol, and immediately rushed at it.
As if he was determined to bite her neck.
Isol Kim gripped her sword with both of her hands.
She quickly moved half a step to the side and then twisted her body to avoid the attack.
In an instant, she grabbed him by the back.
Chew!
Her sword sharply cut the werewolf’s back.
Drops of blood splattered on her, and blood flowed from her sword.
But the guy was still there.
Kyao!
The werewolf, who immediately corrected her posture, rushed to bite her thigh this time.
She stopped walking on two legs and jumped like a dog on all fours.
It seemed that it would not be easy to cut because of his low posture.
Uh?
Isol Kim, like her foe, held her stance low.
Then she flew with all her might.
She rose about 2 meters into the air in an instant.
As the werewolf, losing her target, bit her into the air, she fell mid-air and slashed her sword.
The Werewolf’s head was cut in two with a single knife, and an enormous fountain of blood spewed out.
The battle was over in an instant.
Match. Match. Match…
I gave her her applause.
What. Can you do it
Why did you fight like that earlier when you could slash her throat with her single sword?
Compared to when we were fighting as a team, we defeated the enemy twice as fast now.
“Hmph. This much is a piece of cake.”
Oh do you?
It’s funny and crazy, really.
You don’t seem to think that this year is because of me at all.
Get pissed off
“Next time, we will face off as a team again. Baek Hwa-yeon and Lee Dong-geul will be by my side, and Kim I-sol will take down the enemy with a single knife while Jang Yong is tanking.”
The next battle again took twice as long.
Kim I-Sol couldn’t slash her enemy with a single sword.
I had to think about it for a long time to find out why.
“Isol Kim. Are you uncomfortable with team battles?”
Clearly, at her academy, she scored low on tactics comprehension and ranked last on her team missions.
But no matter how much it is, why is it that an enemy that can be divided into two when fighting alone cannot do so when a tank is present?
While I was thinking about it, another werewolf attacked, and the battle continued without change.
She looked at him and narrowed her brows.
I couldn’t find an answer at all.
I can’t get a good rating like this.
Shall we roll these guys?
As soon as the battle was over, I said let’s head a little closer to the forest.
The closer you get to the forest, the more enemies you have to deal with.
Because they’re based in the forest.
“Are you all right?”
“Yes, there is no need to worry because it is a heel.”
I know that Lee Dong-geul can heal 9 more times in the future.
Jang Yong, who doesn’t know that, seems uneasy, but I told him not to be nervous because it’s an F-class dungeon.
Isol Kim didn’t need to be persuaded because she was more confident than usual, whether it was because her magical powers had increased.
I picked up the head of the werewolf that Kim I-Sol had cut off earlier.
It was slightly larger than a human, so it was quite heavy.
“Why is that…”
“It’s nothing. Let’s go.”
As I moved with the blood dripping wolf head, everyone looked at me like a weirdo.
What should you do
You might be called crazy.
But there’s a reason I’m carrying this.
After moving for a few minutes, we arrived in front of a dense forest.
Huge trees were densely located, and the depths of the forest were so dark that it was scary to enter.
I had no intention of going inside from the first day, where it is easy to get lost.
I just threw the wolf head I had brought into the forest.
Only Jang Yong was shocked by my actions.
“T… Team leader? What are you doing? If you provoke me like this, they will…”
“Did you know? That’s right. At least five of them will appear, so everyone please prepare for battle.”
Jang Yong had been studying about this dungeon, so he seemed to know about my actions.
Taunt the werewolf.
The difficulty of this dungeon is very easy until the meadow.
I just need to catch the wolf that sometimes attacks.
However, this forest is the realm of werewolves.
It would be dangerous just to step into it, but they especially hate the smell of blood of their own people in the forest.
Perhaps in an instant, all the werewolves nearby would come running here.
I smiled lightly and shouted to Kim Isol.
“Mr. Kim I-Sol. At least five of them. More may appear. If Mr. Kim I-Sol can’t cut them down with a single sword, we might be annihilated.”
“What?!”
I said one more word to Kim I-sol, who looked back at me with an absurd expression.
“You’ll know if I die here, right? Cloud.”
As soon as my voice dropped, Isol Kim ran in front of me.
He forcibly dragged me away from his teammates in an instant and whispered in my ear.
“Do you really want to die?”
“No. I want to live. Please let me live.”
Seeing my smiling face in her, she gritted her teeth and shuddered at her.
When I see her like this, I want to torment her even more, but I have to endure this.
The wolves will come running sooner or later.
“Go quickly and take your position. Now the wolves will attack you. Did you know? However, if you don’t cut them down with your sword, we won’t be able to withstand and will be wiped out. Thanks to me, I’m glad Kim I-Sol is so strong. Please show your strength. “
“…”
I stopped whispering and cried out loud.
“Even if you want to pee, you can’t do it until you annihilate the wolves that are running towards you. Please defeat them as soon as possible!”
Kim I-sol, red like a red ghost, glared at me once before returning to her place.
I saw her like that, and her smile broke out.
Then the forest became bleak.
They must have been getting closer.
I hurriedly moved to Baek Hwa-yeon and Dong-geul Lee and stood in the middle.
“You two, stand on either side of me and block them with all your might if they come rushing here. And don’t use rounds until I give you a signal.”
“Yes.”
Jang Yong was beating his shield on his own.
Since most monsters are sensitive to noise, it would be possible to catch the attention of the early ones with that.
Because this is an F-class dungeon.
And no matter how stupid and weak they are, they won’t die in a place like this, right?
Heal is sufficient, and the shield must have been sufficiently recharged for the past week.
Also, in an emergency situation, if I use all the points of the moving article next to me to raise my magic power to the limit, somehow it will work.
“Whoa…”
Without these radical methods, there is no hope for this team.
I heard that one of the ways awakeners become stronger is when they overcome a crisis.
Forcibly create a small crisis, won’t you grow a little in the process of struggling to live?
If I can’t do that, I’ll either die, be weeded out and only move around in E or F ranks, or else I’ll have to retire right away.
Suddenly, Lee Dae-man came to mind.
The man of the diamond guild who said he would save his brother was already growing himself close to the limit.
How many chaos did he have to overcome?
There are people like that, but the guys on our team are so carefree.
While having the same potential or better than that.
While I was thinking about something else for a while, they finally showed up one by one.
Monsters who are neither human nor wolf.
Krrrr.
Caang!
“This way, boys!”
Jang Yong shouted and tried to draw them to himself.
As expected, the foolish monsters were rushing at him.
One, two, three…
A whopping eight werewolves.
Will our pee princess be able to cut them down with a single sword?
The battle to find out the answer has just begun.
* * *
One animal.
Two.
As many as three werewolves were dismembered with a single knife.
Thanks to Jang Yong’s provocation, all werewolves rushed at him, and Kim I-sol, who ran from behind, cut them down one by one with a single sword.
Of course, there were times when he failed, but he ended his life with two swings.
I couldn’t help the corners of my mouth go up while appreciating the scene with the teammates next to me.
Kim Isol is doing better than I thought.
“Round letter. Please heal Jang Yong just once.”
“Yes!”
Despite being 30 meters away, Lee Dong-geul’s heel accurately entered Jang-yong.
A number of wolves attacked her and bit her legs and shoulders, but she must have just healed them all.
No matter how C-class suits are, there’s no such thing as getting punctured or torn by an attack like that.
The wearer is an Awakener, and the enemy is only an F-class dungeon monster.
If bitten, it must have been a bruise or shallow wound.
“Manager.”
Baek Hwa-yeon, who was standing next to me, opened her small mouth and asked me.
“Can I do nothing?”
It would be frustrating on her part.
She entered the dungeon today and no role was assigned to her.
Except for keeping me by my side.
My purpose was to grow Kim I-sol, and I am currently putting Baek Hwa-yeon on the back burner.
She had no contact or meeting with her other than her last expedition and the meeting on Monday last week.
It is only natural that interest and interest decrease as you move away from sight.
Still, I had no intention of leaving her like this.
I intend to lift everyone up on this expedition and jump to the next level.
“Today is fine as it is. Kim I-sol is doing an active job. Baek Hwa-yeon’s role today is to stand next to me.”
“Is that so…”
“Don’t relax. It’s not a bullshit game.”
“All right.”
I answered, but it was a weak voice.
But now I can’t afford to care about her.
Isol Kim, who had already cut all the werewolves in two before our eyes, was approaching me.
