Chapter 50 – Gangnam-Daero (2)
Lee Rin shouted at Hunter Min Sang-ho.
“Isn’t that too much?! How can you hijack student achievements?!”
But there was no change in his expression.
She even felt a sense of familiarity.
“If you twist it like that, tell the media. I don’t know who will believe me or a single student who has built up a track record.”
“You know you can’t?”
“Do you have any corner to believe in? Do you have a great bag?”
Hunter Min Sang-ho laughed as if he were making fun of people.
Lee Rin doesn’t know that she is the daughter of Lee Jeong-sook, an S-class hunter, but she is…
“And what’s the point of killing those junk mobs?”
“I beg your pardon?”
“Well, when I was a student, even killing a monster was precious. Because I did too. The important thing is the boss. If I can’t kill the boss, what’s the point of killing a hundred trash mobs?”
She immediately retorted.
It would be the case in a normal dungeon, but if the monsters were out on the street like before, killing trash mobs would be an important task.
No matter how trash mobs are, civilians die.
“Hey, wet students. Life is real, huh? What if I whined like that? We’ll take care of the rest, so go on your way. When you say nice things.”
Irene clenched her teeth tightly.
At this point, she was in the mood to hit Hunter Min Sang-ho.
To be honest, I was a bit stupid, but the Hunter Association’s riot commander knew the truth anyway.
In the long run, it’s better to back down now than to fight with active hunters and be branded as a problem child in the narrow hunter industry.
She dried it by placing her hand on her shoulder.
“Let’s just go eat.”
“No, though!”
“There is a broadcasting station camera. If you fight like this and get caught on camera, it will have the opposite effect.”
“… It is.”
Her later coaxed her into finding a way to fuck her somehow.
A gentleman’s revenge is never too late even if it takes 10 years.
Of course, I really have no intention of paying attention to someone like Hunter Min Sang-ho for 10 years.
We were just going to tell Instructor Kim Si-young, who is an A-class hunter, to spread bad reviews in the industry on the contrary.
The Hunter Association’s riot police controlled the area around the gate, and the traffic police cleared the cars on the road one by one.
We also went back to the rental car and waited for our turn.
Sitting in her driver’s seat, Lee Rin’s lips protruded as if she still hadn’t relieved her mood.
“My mother told me before.”
“What?”
“… There are a lot of bullies among the hunters, so don’t trust them too much as partners.”
Well, it would happen not only in Hunter, but in any field where competition is fierce.
Hunter was particularly strong, so I thought it would be even worse.
Among the rumors floating around all the time, there are rumors that people secretly kill people over the gate by exploiting the fact that electronic devices are not working.
She was talking about going to a restaurant, eating something delicious, and brushing it off.
“Goreuk—. Goreuk—.”
A goblin appeared from the gate.
Only one.
Right after that, the black hole in the gate shrank.
It appeared almost like a dot, but soon completely disappeared.
If the boss monster’s magic stone goes out of the gate, the gate disappears.
In other words, that goblin that appeared just now is the boss monster of this dungeon.
Unlike the other goblins, the boss monster, the goblin, wore a black robe and wielded a staff.
Lee Rin asked, “A goblin caster?” She muttered.
If a goblin archer handles a bow and a goblin swordsman handles a sword, then a goblin caster handles magic.
I just seemed that way at first glance.
However, upon closer inspection, something was different.
I thought hard about what was different.
“Is it smaller?”
“Uh?”
Irin picked up her smartphone and zoomed in on her camera.
I also saw it from the side.
“Is your back bent? He is supporting his back with his left arm.”
“I know. I feel like I’ve gotten a bit smaller as I’ve gotten older.”
“… Huh? An old goblin?”
Both Irin and I realized at the same time.
That’s no ordinary goblin caster.
An old entity that is rare among goblins.
Usually the old one is held like a chieftain among the goblins.
Then…
“Goblin Chief!”
Class A monster.
He was probably a goblin caster.
It must be an object that evolved into a goblin chief as it grew older and accumulated years of experience.
Even if they do the same job, there is a big difference between a newcomer and an expert.
The professor had said that it was no exception that it was a goblin.
So Goblin Chief is classified as Class A, not Class B.
“Hey, he said he would do everything on his own, so let’s just watch.”
“Okay.”
Hunter Min Sang-ho is B-class.
Can you really kill a class A monster?
It is said that academy students who are called promising players usually stop growing at B-class when they become active players.
Lim Kang-tae once told me that there is a significant gap between B-class and A-class that simply cannot be bridged with effort.
If Min Sang-ho is talented enough to become an A-rank Hunter, he should be able to subdue the Goblin Chief.
He shouted, holding the greatsword with both hands.
“Come, Goblin Caster!”
Ah…
I was stumped from the start.
Still, the composition of Min Sang-ho’s hunter party was quite standard.
One mid-range dealer with a spear, one support, one ranged dealer with a gun, and one healer.
Hunter Min Sang-ho himself is probably a close range dealer and tanker.
“If you don’t come, I will go!”
When the Goblin Chief stayed still, he charged, holding his sword high.
At the same time, blue light appeared around his body as if the supporter had activated a skill.
Much faster
Goblin Chief just stayed still when he approached.
At this point, you should be thinking there must be some trap.
But as if he didn’t care at all, he swung his sword straight at the monster’s head.
“Oh no?!”
Triple shield magic unfolded over the head of the Goblin Chief.
He hit the sword several times as if he was nervous, but only one barrier was broken.
In the meantime, the monster drew a small magic circle with a staff.
Healer exclaimed urgently.
“P-avoid!”
“What?!”
Kwaah-!
A pillar of fire shot from the Goblin Chief’s staff.
Hunter Min Sang-ho, who was intent on breaking the shield, hurriedly rolled to the side.
But the end of his pants caught fire.
“Oh, it’s fucking hot!”
He put out the fire, scratching his pants on the asphalt.
The mid-range dealer hurled his spear at the Goblin Chief’s abdomen with a “Haap—!”
However, the tip of the spear was blocked by the restored triple shield magic.
Bang-!
This time the range dealer pulled the trigger on the gun.
Three white ball-like magic bullets flew away.
However, he only managed to break one of the triple shield spells.
Even with the supporters’ best help, they couldn’t even destroy Goblin Chief’s shield magic.
“You fucking bastard!”
Hunter Min Sang-ho swung his greatsword forcefully horizontally.
I finally broke the second piece following the one the other party members broke.
Now there is only one piece left.
But still, the goblin chief’s expression was relaxed.
Hunter Min Sang-ho keeps trying to break the one remaining barrier with his great sword, even though it’s actually cracking.
“I think I’ve killed a goblin or two!”
Hunter Min Sang-ho, who continuously strikes swords right in front of the monster.
The Goblin Chief suddenly turned his left arm, which had rested on his waist.
A magic circle was completed in the palm of the monster.
I noticed right away.
The back of the Goblin Chief cannot be seen because of the robe.
Pretending to support his bent waist with his left arm, he secretly drew a magic circle.
“Goreuk—.”
Goblin Chief laughed out loud.
He threw the small magic circle in his left hand onto the floor where Hunter Min Sang-ho was standing.
Kwaah-!
The pillar of fire that had been shot earlier rose.
This time, not at the tip of the staff, but at his feet.
“Ahhh—!!”
Without even time to escape, flames covered his body.
A green mist bloomed around him as if the healer had quickly cast a healing skill on him.
However, even if he healed by burning, it would only prolong the time he suffered from burning pain.
It was as if none of the party members had the ability to put out the fire.
“This, this bastard dares to kill Mr. Mutual!”
The gunman fired in succession.
However, the goblin chief’s triple shield magic was restored.
The method of killing the caster to put out the fire could not be used.
Dump.
Hunter Min Sang-ho fell to the side.
Even so, the fire of the Goblin Chief did not know how to go out.
As if he was going to cremate his corpse, which had already been scorched.
“Goreuk—. Goreuk—.”
The Goblin Chief laughed.
No matter how old you are, a goblin is a goblin.
It is a monster that is infinitely cruel to humans.
“Hey, what are you going to do now!”
The middle-range dealer holding the spear trembled his limbs.
The faces of the supporters and healers were also bluish.
The only thing that’s calm is the gunman.
“I have to run away.”
“What?! It’s not even inside the gate, but if we run away from the current situation, our reputation—.”
“Because I don’t want to fall behind.”
The gunman turned his back and climbed into the driver’s seat of the car they had been in.
Supporters and healers followed suit.
I wanted to stay alone as a mid-range dealer, but
“W-Wait!!”
When the gunman started the car, he hurriedly pulled back.
The mobile commander belatedly grasped the situation and shouted, “Hunter, Hunter!”
However, the wheels of the party members’ cars were already rolling.
Only the body of Hunter Min Sang-ho, the head of the party, was left on the asphalt of Gangnam-daero.
Erin asked, turning her head to her side.
“What are you going to do?”
“Now we have to catch it.”
She said with a smile.
“I think I’m really good at partying.”
I got off the rental car again and approached the gate.
The goblin chief rolled his eyes in our direction as if he noticed us.
The mobile commander saw us and hurriedly ran.
“What are the students doing now!”
He got in our way.
Even active B-class hunters were helpless, but they seemed to think that we, students, couldn’t stand it.
In a way, it was a reasonable decision.
And he could have been killed by the Goblin Chief to protect us, but he came forward himself.
At least, he seemed much more committed than Hunter Min Sang-ho and his party members.
“We will subdue them.”
“I can see that the students are great! But didn’t you just watch it?!”
“I saw.”
“Why are you doing this while watching?! I can’t see my students going to commit suicide! I’m going to call another Hunter, so please don’t be reckless!!”
I was a little thankful that he was doing this only out of concern for us.
He put a hand on his shoulder and said.
“Captain, we’ll show you that we’re better than Min Sang-ho’s hunter party.”
“Yes? No, even B-class hunters aren’t so easygoing—.”
“I apologize in advance. Sorry.”
He pushed the riot commander’s body to the side as if tossing it.
While he stumbled, he ran quickly and stood in front of the Goblin Chief.
I said to Katrin and Irin next to me.
“Let’s kill it quickly.”
“Huh.” “I get it!”
