The Milk Hunter Couldn’t Stand It 7

Chapter 7 – Couldn’t Stand It

Ever since the battle between hunters and monsters was established,
The Emergency Rift Defense Rule always prioritized reducing the Hunter’s damage.

Cracks continued to occur, and monsters continued to pop out.
If the hunters do not spare their countermeasures, the damage will accumulate, eventually resulting in a catastrophic collapse of the defense system.

Therefore, if you did not have enough power to clear the rift, entry into the rift itself was prohibited.

“Well, I understand the circumstances, but if Hunters or commandos go into that rift right now, everyone will die. Please wait patiently until more people gather.”
“My husband! What will happen to my child then! They’re people that even an orc can’t defeat… !”
“That’s…”
“Then I’ll go in too! I will go in and save the child!”

As the commandos stopped the middle-aged woman, the woman wept and wrote her swarm.

The family was in the rift.
It’s a place full of monsters.
The life and death of the family sucked into it is unknown, and they may be in crisis at this moment and need urgent help.

She knows that she has no power, but she is surrounded by the orc captain and the orcs, and she can’t do anything and trembles, but she wants to protect the name of her family.

Who doesn’t know that heart
Hunters and commandos here also have families, and everyone must have a desire to protect their precious people.

However, it was a principle and a norm of society promised to minimize damage.
If you try to save the people who are dragged into it, more people will be sacrificed.

The expressions of the commandos who were holding back the woman’s movements became embarrassing, and my expression as I watched them was getting hard.

“I’ll go in! I can protect my family.”

At that time, Lee Yu-na stepped forward.
As the number of people watching gradually increased, the face was covered with a mask.

I raised her hand to stop her.

“What are you doing?”
“Yes?”
“Don’t you know your condition? How do you get into that Anel at your level that even the Orc captain can’t beat?”
“What are you talking about. I can beat the orc captain. An E-class crack is nothing to me.”

As I interrupted her movement, Yui also stopped her steps and looked up at me.

“Don’t force yourself. Actually, it’s hard for you to move right now. Aren’t you overdoing it just by running mana for the first time in a while? Are your arms shaking?”
“No, I am fine.”
“I’m not saying don’t save people. It’s just that we should wait a little bit until more people gather, until we have a response force. But why are you rushing out?”

When I said it firmly, Lee Yu-na raised her eyes.
I don’t think I knew how to dry myself like this.

“Unah, the citizens are trapped inside. Do you know how many minutes the golden time of the citizens sucked into the rift is? 20 minutes. Beyond that time, the survival rate drops exponentially. You know the special forces who are stopping that citizen right now, and you who are watching. Twenty minutes have passed, and if I don’t go in now, that person’s husband and child may never come back.”

Lee Yu-na’s words were the right theory.
Of course, strictly from a citizen’s point of view.
However, it was not the position of a hunter or commando who had to go around many cracks and fight monsters periodically.

“Why is there an emergency crack defense rule, because who doesn’t know? We all have the same desire to protect that citizen’s family. But there are not enough people. We are weaker than the monsters staying in that rift.”

The F-class Hunter was like that.
I, who had been an F-class hunter for five years, was like that.
I learned first to avoid than to fight.
When an F-class hunter went to the battlefield, there were virtually no monsters to beat, so
Learned how to run, survive, and defend first.

F-class hunters who act in a row are the first to die in a dungeon.
As an F-rank Hunter, as a weak Awakener, in order to maintain this life for a long time, you had to know your subject.
If there is an enemy you can’t defeat, you wait for a colleague who can defeat the enemy, and if there is no colleague to defeat the enemy, you have to run away.
Fights and battles and pride do not come first.
Always had to act with only survival in mind.

This is my principle for the past 5 years, and it was the way the lowest-ranked Hunter survived.
Don’t go in there

“It has changed.”
“What?”

However, unexpected words came out of Lee Yu-na’s mouth.

“Cheongwoon, you have changed.”
“What?”

She was speaking with a little emotion.
Low voice.
So many memories permeated into it.

“You were not a child who ran away, but you always acted ahead, and you were not a child who gave up or avoided, but you led the way and ran, so I believed in you and followed you until this point.”
“What are you talking about… ?”

Looking at Lee Yu-na, who suddenly blushes,
All the logic I had prepared to persuade Lee Yu-na was disappearing in my head.

E, D, and E+ monsters.
Commando, F-rank Hunter, E-rank Hunter.
Emergency crack defense rules.
The reason, the wounds engraved on the body, the limits of the two of us.
Even if you go inside, what will happen.

The meaning of all those words faded, and they couldn’t come out of my mouth and hovered around.
I was unable to speak.
What does Lee Yu-na mean by saying that?

*

“What are you doing here? Heavenly luck.”

A cracking sound broke the silence.

When I turned my head, it was Park Joong-hyun.
A familiar E-class Hunter had arrived with her teammates.

“Are you my girlfriend? She’s a female hunter I’ve never seen before, and the two of them are fighting in a place like this.”
“…”

Reason I bowed her head with her mask on.
Due to the high position of 17th in the past hunter rankings,
It must be burdensome to reveal oneself in such a weak form.
Fortunately, Park Joong-hyun did not seem to recognize Lee Yoo-na.

“From what I’ve heard, it sounds like he wants to get into the rift. Why are you stopping it?”
“It’s none of your business.”
“Kuh-kuh, it’s because it’s funny watching it.”

Park Joong-hyun twitched his lips, wondering what was so interesting.

“There, lady. Has your luck changed? He used to be this kind of guy. F-class Hunter. A guy who can’t properly catch a skilled battle goblin, waits for me to come to help, runs away when he sees a strong monster, and holds on to a book to get stronger while holding onto his form.”
“…”
“They say they’ve gotten a little stronger lately, but that essence doesn’t go anywhere. It’s not overbearing. If it looks like a monster he can beat, he will rush at it, and if it looks like he can’t win, he’ll jump right back, he’s thoroughly weak and weak, like a hyena.

The guy’s purpose is sarcastic.
Smile mischievously at me

“Don’t talk nonsense. I just did the best I could.”
“You were a coward. I survived cowardly, always rolling on the back of my head.”
“Cowardly, I didn’t overdo it.”

Park Joong-hyun and I usually did not get along.

That guy was the ace of his teammates, bold and daring, and loved to lead people from the front.

On the other hand, I stayed out of the way, was calm and calm, and when people were overdoing it, I gave reasons to dissuade them.

Now that the situation is not good, the relationship that was creaking collided at this place.

“Aren’t you overdoing it? You just want to keep yourself safe. I’m satisfied with killing the monsters that came out of the rift and saving the nearby citizens. I don’t want to go into that dangerous rift unless your safety is guaranteed.”
“It’s an emergency crack defense rule.”
“Emergency crack defense rules? You mean that stupid rule of waiting for a stronger hunter to come? A rule suitable for a weak Hunter to wait as an excuse, a principle that comforts a Hunter who cowardly leaves out. It’s a rule that suits you, a weak Hunter.”

Normally, that sarcasm wouldn’t have put any stress on me.
But now, Lee Yu-na was watching.
For some reason, a feeling of resentment surged up inside.

“Then follow the rules and wait, F-rank Hunter. Heavenly luck.”

Park Joong-hyun said this far and headed for the crack.
I shook off the special forces who told me that the number of hunters was not appropriate, and went in with my colleagues.
I do not forget the touching words to the middle-aged woman that I will come to save my family.

“…”

Why couldn’t I refute that guy?
There is nothing wrong with what I said, so why is my pride hurt?

It’s probably because the aftermath of the shock from what Lee Yu-na said earlier still lingers.
That I have changed

“I will go in too. Don’t dry it.”

Lee Yoo-na’s voice was cold as she told me this.
The voice she hears when she’s angry.
I wanted to understand her, I paused for a moment and put my hands on her dizzy head.

*

“Sorry, the family is probably still alive.”

I told this to a middle-aged woman who was crying.
And went through the cracks.

I don’t know why.
In her head, she knew it shouldn’t come in.
However, the fact that Lee Yu-na entered led me here first.

Inside the rift was a dungeon.
I saw Park Joong-hyun and the hunters ahead, and I saw Yu-na Lee chasing after them.

[You have entered the E-class rift!]
[The dungeon will be cleared if you kill the dungeon boss, ‘Warrior Orc’!]

A system message informed the conditions for clearing the dungeon.
Just like the message of the game, the system throws out a mission.
I had to clear that mission to close the rift.

“You’re here, why?”
“…”

As I caught up with Lee Yu-na, she asked with her pouty face.
I kicked the ground and followed.
Still, I wanted to protect Lee Yu-na.

“Will you take the lead? Like you said, I’m sick.”

Lee Yu-na, who was watching me, told me this.
It sounded like reconciliation.
I walked one step ahead of Yuna, and she smiled thinly next to her.

“Right road! Three orcs appeared!”
“I found someone hiding here! One Hunter to protect!”
“It’s the Orc Captain! Everyone stick by my side! Stay in line!”

Deep into the dungeon, many orcs appeared, and the citizens who were sucked into the rift were also found.

Hunters did not stop advancing even when they were injured.

“Two Orc captains! Two appeared at the same time!”
“Damn it! Stop it somehow! I’ll stop one so you guys take on the other!”

It wasn’t that the process was easy.
E-class Park Joong-hyun and his colleagues.
As I warned, the power was insufficient to clear the E-class dungeon.

Not everyone entered as bravely as Park Joong-hyun.
Some F-rank hunters were pushed by the atmosphere and forced to enter because they were on the same team.
Seeing them shed a cold sweat right in front of the orc captain, I decided to lend a hand.

“I will take care of this guy.”

[This monster is a non-milking target.]
[Feel the anger and increase your attack power!]
[Feel disgust and increase your defense power!]
[I feel tired and my magic power rises!]

I put magic into my sword and collided with an orc captain.

Since I had experience fighting another Orc captain earlier, I was able to proceed with a more overwhelming fight this time.

After about 5 minutes, I laid down the Orc Captain and looked at Park Joong-Hyun, who was fighting another Orc Captain.

“What… ?”

After struggling for over 10 minutes, Park Joong-hyun managed to defeat the orc captain.
Seeing me waiting next to the fallen orc captain, he cleared his throat in surprise.

“Hurry up, it’s real from now on.”

While he and the hunters were admiring my skills, I was already worried about the next fight.

The husband and child of the impression the middle-aged woman had mentioned were still nowhere to be seen.

Keep going like this and you will encounter the boss.
