Episode 167 Raid (2)
―Encounter the boss monster «Great Worm» in Area 2 of the closed city field.
Quaaaaang-!
‘I didn’t know that I would be able to save this bastard.’
Jaehyun sighed as he alternately looked at Great Worm and Lee Soo-hyuk being pushed back.
A little while ago, he had just arrived here after sensing the magical power of a dying cadet nearby.
But… I had to save Lee Soo-hyeok among many people.
Jaehyun couldn’t help but feel reluctant to do it.
However, that thought did not last long. Anyway, you can’t let people die.
Moreover, the priority was to finish the battle with the enemy now.
‘But I think this is a bit severe. A great worm in such a shallow area?’
The Great Worm was a monster that could only be seen in the deep areas of the closed city center.
Jaehyun had seen a live broadcast of the subjugation of the guy on the broadcast before returning.
‘At least downtown if it’s about the Great Worm. In other words, he is a guy who can only be seen when he gets closer to Banwoldang Station.
No matter how you think about it, it’s not a good situation.’
While muttering, I looked into the eyes of the massive beast in front of me.
I could feel the Great Worm’s mouth wide open and curl up behind me. This was the posture that the worm-type monsters usually showed right before the attack.
However, it is a movement that does not feel any inspiration to Jaehyun.
How many worms did you catch in the closed city for about two days?
It was a reproduction that was not difficult to evade or counterattack.
Kyaaah!
The enemy’s attack fired with a force that would tear Jaehyun’s torso apart.
However, Jaehyun did not avoid it. He clenched his fists and prepared to return his attack.
After filling the fist with mana, it is stabbed precisely into the beast’s face just before it overflows.
Wow!
Kiehek-!
Along with a huge explosion, the beast’s scream erupts and fills the field.
Jaehyun looked at the monster in front of him and smiled lightly.
‘I didn’t even need to take out another weapon.’
As the rising magic power is collected, the battle situation that had been hidden for a while comes into clear view.
The appearance of a monster that was half destroyed and only the lower half of the body remained.
Watching this, Lee Soo-hyuk’s expression turned white with astonishment.
‘What the hell is that…!’
It was a sight that would never stop you from shutting your mouth.
Lee Soo-hyuk was unable to speak for a while due to the shock that seemed to stop him from breathing.
* * *
‘Min Jae-hyun. I knew he was strong. But what the hell is that…….’
It was impossible to explain in words.
The boss monster Jaehyun faced earlier was an A-rank.
This was a level that a party of six or more, mainly A-class raiders, could barely deal with.
‘But Min Jae-hyun hunted him casually.’
How was that possible?
It was something that Lee Soo-hyuk couldn’t understand.
As he was thinking, a cheeky voice suddenly interrupted his ears.
“Why are you standing there blankly? If we don’t treat him now, he will die.”
Lee Soo-hyeok, who was distracted by the battle, suddenly came to his senses and looked down.
Kim Min-soo with purple skin. In order not to pass the golden time, I had to treat it right away.
Lee Soo-hyeok immediately caught Min-soo Kim and kicked him.
At the same time, a cracked voice burst out of his mouth.
“This guy is all hurt…!”
Maybe it’s because I was too nervous a while ago? My lips hardened and I couldn’t speak properly.
However. Jaehyun calmly nodded his head in response to the incoherent voice.
“Your colleague is hurt?”
Lee Soo-hyuk clenched his fists and struggled.
“……This guy is hurt. I need help.”
“Follow me. If it’s a detoxification potion, I’ve got it to rot.”
Jaehyun said that with the same blunt expression as the first time.
He was surprisingly the type with a fairly long back end.
* * *
Gulp. gulp.
The potion begins to pass down the esophagus of Kim Min-soo, who is addicted to it.
What I’m using right now is the status ailment recovery potion of Lee Sang-sang. It was an expensive item, well over 20 million won.
“Hey hey, it’ll be fine now!”
When Lee Jae-sang sighed in relief and spoke, Lee Soo-hyeok’s stiff shoulders relaxed.
He seems a bit nervous.
‘Well, if it’s a great worm’s poison, it’s a fatal wound to normal raiders.’
Jaehyun understood moderately and put his hands together neatly.
he asked.
“Then why don’t we get to the point?”
Jaehyun, who was sitting in a chair, cast his eyes at Lee Soo-hyuk with his legs crossed.
“Lee Soo-hyuk. Why were only the two of you out of the circle and acting alone?”
“……It’s quite long to explain.”
With those words, the story of Lee Soo-hyuk began.
Maybe it’s because he doesn’t speak well, but it was very boring to explain only the main points. Thanks to that, Jaehyun had to hold back the urge to yawn several times.
“so. To put it simply, you were participating in an outdoor training camp as members of the Circle type, but you were suddenly attacked by a monster from inside the city and beaten like an idiot…
And that guy got poisoned, so you couldn’t do anything like this? ”
“……I can reduce it to that extent.”
It seemed a little sarcastic, but basically it meant admiration. Lee Soo-hyuk looked at Jae-hyun and shrugged.
“Anyway, two things are certain. It is said that a demonic beast protruded from the inside beyond the expected level. And even senior Jung Hyun, the club leader, was swept away by the aftermath.”
‘To think that Jung Hyeon suffered… It’s definitely not a problem to be seen lightly.’
Jaehyun sighed and thought for a moment.
Just now. He also noticed the movement of the magic beast that Lee Soo-hyeok said.
A strange phenomenon in which beings with enormous magical power move from within the city as a group.
No matter how you look at it, it wasn’t easy to see.
‘Great movement of the demons.’
However, the problem was not only that.
“one thing. There are bigger problems than that.”
“……what is that?”
Seo Ina, unable to hold back her curiosity, asked.
Jaehyun bit his lip and replied.
“Isn’t it strange? Why didn’t anyone save Lee Soo-hyuk and Kim Min-soo when they were beaten?”
“ah! Come to think of it!”
Kim Yoo-jung’s voice interrupts. Ahn Ho-yeon had no choice but to nod.
“Certainly, Jaehyun is right. First, Chairman Kim Ji-yeon said. If there is a problem at this camp, tell the instructors immediately. But……”
“……The instructors all disappeared……?”
Seo Ina interrupted and said. Kwon So-yul also nodded.
“I think the same. It’s kind of strange. It is also true that a monster of this level has emerged from within the city. I can’t feel the instructors’ magical power nearby.
As if they were all gone.”
Her words created a deep silence among the group.
Jaehyun sighed and clenched his fists.
‘As expected, the culprit…’
He exhaled as he raised his head. A small amount of magical energy rises from the body, concentrating everyone in the field.
However, Jaehyun didn’t seem to care at all about the gazes that were gathering towards him.
He sneered and recalled a man’s name.
Heimdall.
‘It’s that guy.’
* * *
About two hours ago. Temporary outposts on the outskirts of closed cities.
“Anyway, do we have to suffer like this? You’ve already eliminated all the monsters in the shallow area where the outdoor camp is taking place.
Chairman Ha is also funny. Is it okay to place instructors in a place like this?”
The name of the man who sighed and opened his mouth was Lee Tae-hyun.
As one of Instructor Milles, this is typical of radar supremacy.
For reference, the grade was B.
It’s not that high, but to him who is never low. The current treatment was unreasonable.
‘To use people like me in a place like this!’
For this reason, Lee Tae-hyun was dissatisfied with Kim Ji-yeon, the chairman of the board, and Milles Academy.
To think that he, a B-class raider, had to take care of them by chasing after them.
“I am not a babysitter.”
he muttered nervously.
The junior instructor standing next to him spoke appropriately.
“no way. Still, isn’t it because we have to suffer so much to come out with usable kids?”
“It’s worth writing about. They don’t think about improving their skills and play the press or George.
Did you see that Min Jae-hyun or him before? Can you honestly say What kind of S-class skill is that at that age? What’s there? Have you already reached level A? Those who grumble like that should all return their licenses.”
“Still, no way Miles tried to manipulate the live broadcast. do you know That guy named Jaehyun Min might have a lot of talent.”
“Do you really believe me? Anyway. The problem is that you are so naive. It’s a problem.”
Lee Tae-hyun shook his head and said. He was dissatisfied with the new radars that had recently been uploaded.
What was it like when you decided to become a radar?
The first generation of raiders had a lofty goal of saving dying people.
There was such a thing as romance back then!
But these days, it’s full of guys with celebrity disease who just want to get on TV. It was something he couldn’t understand.
At that time, the junior spoke as if he had read his thoughts.
“If you keep doing that, you’ll hear the old jokes. Besides…… For us, it’s a honey if we don’t put in effort and come in well with a good salary. what.
To be honest, being an instructor at Milles Academy is much safer than my current radar job. Because I have a family.”
Lee Tae-hyun clicked his tongue, but couldn’t help but agree with his opinion.
He also has a sister-in-law. He is in his mid-thirties.
For the sake of his family, he had to refrain from raiding raiders who frequently entered dungeons.
You don’t know when you’ll die, and the experience of trembling with anxiety every day is something you do when you’re young.
Now that I have a family, it is many times better to belong to an academy and work safely.
“No matter what…”
Lee Tae-hyun was about to say something more with a dissatisfied expression.
coo coo coo…!
Suddenly, the clouds in the sky began to gather in one place and gathered over the heads of the two in a disturbing red color.
Woo woo woo!
at the same time. The sound of a trumpet coming from somewhere.
“Is this… a trumpet sound?”
Before Taehyung could finish his words, a shadow suddenly fell over his head.
“……uh?”
At the same time as he raised his head, a huge darkness opened its mouth wide and within a minute.
Kwajak!
He swallowed Lee Tae-hyun exactly.
The junior, who was watching the scene from the side, trembled and filled both pupils with astonishment.
“Battle battalion this is…”
He quickly tried to grab the radio, but failed.
Soon after, a flaccid tentacle pierced through the junior’s back.
“Heuk!”
An army of innumerable demons that could be glimpsed through the empty pupils of juniors.
The astonished whites of the eyes turn red and slowly start to cool.
“No… no…”
He used his last strength to grab the radio that had fallen to the floor.
Sentences close to astonishment that he never wanted to say slowly leaked out of his mouth.
“Danger code 11. ……Variables… has occurred… Everyone run away…….”
