even when the bugs chomped and bit at him with terrifying depth, Hwang Dong-Seok remained steadfast and waited for the danger to counter-assault.
….To make certain that the aggro wouldn’t deviate from him even if the damage sellers landed a crippling blow to the enemies.
‘This have to be sufficient!’
With that concept, the actual hunt had ultimately begun. to hunt, the actual motive why the Hunters have been called Hunters in the first location!
Hwang Dong-Seok roared out.
“assault!”
along with that short however manly shout, all of the collected firepower of the crew poured out at the marauding insect horde.
Kiiieehhhk…
Kiieehhkk!!
The pained screams of the monsters rose up from here, there, and anywhere.
Jin-Woo stood at the lower back and discovered this situation as it spread out. That was the contractual responsibility he needed to adhere to for this raid.
He inwardly simulated how he’d fight by myself as his eyes continued to take inside the struggle taking place in front.
‘How irritating.’
Jin-Woo had to suppress his urges to hurry available several times already. He ought to see so many open gaps within the ranks of the monsters. And he also spotted the Hunters missing the ones gaps and retain to dedicate simple mistakes.
So, how should he no longer feel annoyed while he became not allowed to do whatever and in reality needed to stand round?
Even then, the damage to Hwang Dong-Seok’s team proved to be tremendously non-existent. It turned into all due to the fact their teamwork was instead wonderful.
It appeared that the relaxed manner of Hwang Dong-Seok before the raid started out turned into now not just for a display, after all.
“Jin-Seok-ah! 11 o’clock!”
“Hyung, they may be coming out of your right, too!”
“Joon-Tae, Seok-Min, Gyu-Hwan!! cope with the proper!”
“k!”
“Cheol-Jin, your wrist’s swollen up. Retreat to the rear.”
“Hwang hyung, this ain’t an awful lot to fret approximately.”
“You wanna move back most effective after sweeping easy the entrance? We don’t know how lengthy this raid will take, so forestall being hasty from the get-cross. manipulate your tempo, got that?”
“Roger that.”
possibly due to the fact they’ve been working collectively for so long, they have been able to communicate pretty easily. Being capable of talk quick like this will unavoidably result in an wonderful teamwork as well.
It changed into a global apart from the ragtag bunch of Hunters introduced together with the aid of the association.
‘What’s extra sudden is that this kid turns out to be pretty handy, too.’
Jin-Woo’s gaze shifted over to Yu Jin-Ho next.
when a monster bit into his defend, he kicked it away and swung his sword quickly at it. The expensive sword effortlessly separated the monster’s head from its frame.
For a novice rank D Hunter, he became protecting himself admirably well.
‘His kick-a*s equipment is filling up the hollow left in the back of via his loss of abilties and revel in, huh.’
certainly, it became not for not anything that pretty plenty all Hunters struggled tough to get themselves appropriate gadget.
when their gazes in short met, Yu Jin-Ho quickly raised his thumb up.
“…..”
due to his expressions that appeared as though he changed into desperately pleading for a tremendous reaction, Jin-Woo became left with out a preference however to reciprocate the same gesture as well.
looking alternatively glad now, Yu Jin-Woo became around.
Kiiiehhhk….!
whatever the case may additionally have been, the give up of the struggle was drawing closer. as soon as the coast changed into more or less clear, Hwang Dong-Seok issued every other order to his dongsaengs.
“Don’t forget the magic crystals! We cut up them exactly 9 approaches!”
“Yep.”
“that is my favored part of the raid.”
“Me too.”
Hwang Dong-Seok showed his laughing dongsaengs amassing the loot, and walked towards Jin-Woo.
“Aigoo, we survived all thanks to you.”
“Excuse me?”
“well, you had been the first one to alert us about them monsters developing from above, weren’t you? How did you know, though?”
“It become…. a gut feeling.”
Jin-Woo got here up with a half-cooked tale immediate.
quite obviously, he couldn’t come out and say that his belief Stat changed into excessive, now could he?
“Oh, sincerely? A gut feeling, huh…. well, we got fortunate today. I don’t even need to imagine what might have befell if we didn’t find out them in time… whew-woo.”
Hwang Dong-Seok patted his chest whilst speaking up.
It changed into then.
one of the Hunters rummaging thru the carcass of the insect gestured at Hwang Dong-Seok to come back nearer.
“Hwang hyung, please come over here for a sec.”
The dongsaengs had all collected in one spot. So, Hwang Dong-Seok went there to enroll in them as well.
“Mm?”
“some thing’s a chunk off about these crawlies.”
The Hunters parted ways when Hwang Dong-Seok arrived, permitting the bearded guy to squat down and take a look at the surroundings. He couldn’t spot some thing out of the regular, though. regardless of wherein he seemed, all he could see become the dead bugs.
“What’s off about these?”
Hwang Dong-Seok tilted his head.
one of the dongsaengs pointed at the leg of the insect monster closest to him.
“I’m quite positive that wound didn’t come from us.”
“…..”
Hwang Dong-Seok’s expression crumpled slightly. He took a more in-depth appearance earlier than elevating his voice.
“looks like…. some thing took a big chew out of it, doesn’t it?”
“proper? That’s no longer the best one with wounds like that, you see. Looky here. This one, that one over there, and over there, too. seems like that one’s lacking a pair of wings as nicely. ought to these creepy crawlies were overwhelmed down already before fighting us?”
Hwang Dong-Seok’s expression hardened even more.
Now he realised why the struggle went off so smoothly while in comparison to the number of the monsters they had to fight.
“could or not it’s that…. this stuff have been fighting in opposition to some thing else?”
It turned into then.
although it had been for the briefest of all short moments, Jin-Woo nevertheless sensed the gazes of the numerous individuals of this group landing on him.
Their eyes shifted away as soon as Jin-Woo displayed a hint of sensing them. With this, he became certain now.
‘As I idea….’
His preliminary suspicions proved to be correct.
considering their teamwork became so correct, they ought to’ve been preventing collectively for a protracted, long time already. And without all and sundry demise, too.
however, would this sort of issue be viable with out a Healer backing them up?
no matter how correct Hunters have been, they had been still people on the end of the day. necessarily, they might slip up ultimately. properly, simplest a short while in the past, didn’t their formation almost spoil aside from the assaults of the bugs?
a bigger image sooner or later formed inside Jin-Woo’s head and a subtle smile fashioned on his lips.
‘maybe…. i’m able to use them to my benefit.’
so long as they acted inside his calculations, that turned into.
Hwang Dong-Seok smiled and stood returned up.
“properly, now. Why don’t we go in a little bit deeper? We is probably capable of clear this dungeon as a substitute quick if this continues up.”
Hwang Dong-Seok intentionally spoke up with a noisy voice.
He didn’t do that for the sake of his dongsaengs. well, the unique members of the team have been already surrounding him, to begin with.
within the interim, Yu Jin-Ho smiled brightly and approached toward Jin-Woo.
“Hyung, did you see it? You noticed it, proper? With this, I kicked a few critical monster a*s these days, didn’t I?”
Yu Jin-Ho swung the sword around inside the air. Seeing this, Jin-Woo quietly asked him.
“hiya, that sword and the shield, they’re honestly expensive, right?”
“Pardon? Ahh, after I told my dad that I’d be taking part in my first raid, he got them for me.”
“properly, in that case, I think you must preserve your wits about you, too.”
Jin-Woo gently patted Yu Jin-Ho on his shoulder and followed after the opposite Hunters taking walks deeper inside the dungeon.
“what is he talking approximately now, all of a sudden?”
Yu Jin-Ho tilted his head in confusion earlier than chasing after the departing organization.
*
The cave regarded to go on forever. however, bizarrely enough. they hadn’t stumble upon a unmarried monster as of yet.
since the dungeon become fashioned like an extended cavern, there has been no way that they’d omit every different, too.
“may want to it’s that the crawlies at the doorway were the whole thing?”
“Eii, no way.”
“Now that would be honestly atypical.”
“nevertheless, there should be a chairman on the give up, right?”
“with out one, why might a Gate remain open, then?”
The opinions of the Hunters had been shared among themselves as they roam the expansive however empty indoors of this large dungeon.
“keep it.”
Hwang Dong-Seok within the lead all at once stopped taking walks. He stopped so abruptly that people at the back of him ran into his lower back.
The Hunter whose nose had slammed into the pinnacle of the fellow in the front requested with a sullen expression.
“Ouch, what the heck…. Hwang hyung, what is it?”
“Gyu-Hwan-ah. I need a mild over there.”
Joh Gyu-Hwan managed the ball of light floating up in the air and redirected it further up ahead, precisely in which Hwang Dong-Seok have been pointing at.
“Holy sh*t.”
“a majority of these….?”
all of the Hunters spat out low groans.
The torn wings, legs, torsos, or even heads of the bugs – stays of the various dead insects were strewn about everywhere as a long way as the light shone. The further into the cave the light got to, the extra the quantity of the stays they may see. And additionally, a huge chamber placed on the end of all of it.
“That’s the boss’s room.”
a person muttered out softly. Hwang Dong-Seok nodded his head.
“everybody, get your gadget ready.”
The Hunters quickly armed themselves. anxiousness was evident on the expressions of every person present.
With Hwang Dong-Seok main them in, the relaxation of the Hunters cautiously and silently entered the boss’s ‘room’. however, their silence most effective lasted for some seconds afterwards.
“J-Jackpot!!”
The Hunter with a crimson nose cried out. He was none aside from the man whose nostril slammed into a person’s returned of the pinnacle.
at first, it was forbidden to shout out too loudly inner a dungeon. due to the fact there has been a possibility that a monster they didn’t need to combat would possibly hear the noise and run closer to where the Hunters were.
however, none of the others scolded the purple-nose for his mistake.
“Wowsers.”
“How plenty ought to all of those be?”
“it’s far a real jackpot, innit?”
anybody was manner too busy gasping out in admiration and happiness, that become why.
“Wait a 2nd.”
whilst Joh Gyu-Hwan constant the beam of light high up within the middle of the air, the state of affairs within the room became clean for all to look – as well as the jewel-like stones jutting out from one of the walls of the cave.
“they are mana stones!”
“The whole wall is made from them!”
these mana stones contemplated the mild attractively and brought about the eyes of the Hunters to sparkle brightly in greed as nicely.
Mana stones!
They had been one of the treasures that would be located inner dungeons.
even though every stone possessed a decrease quantity of magic electricity in comparison to a magic crystal extracted from a monster, they nearly always have been determined in massive quantity, so if one have been able to mine them, one should earn a giant income.
besides, the mana stone deposit that they had discovered changed into notably huge. The entire wall of the huge cave become virtually crammed up with those stones.
“allow’s do a short calculation.”
A Hunter with a mathematical mind commenced transferring his palms in a hurry.
“If we are able to mine them all, we may be incomes as a good deal as ?one million,000. despite the fact that we cut up nine ways, we’re looking at a payout of over ?100,000,000 in step with head.”
“Ohh, ohh!”
Smiles shaped at the faces of the Hunters.
Yu Jin-Ho had been staying at the returned till then, and while he heard the ones words, he started poking Jin-Woo’s side along with his elbow.
“Hyung, display me your copy of the settlement.”
“Why?”
“simply trust me on this one. I’m pretty informed on the subject of regulation, you see.”
Jin-Woo shrugged his shoulders once and exceeded over the settlement as requested. Yu Jin-Ho walked over to Hwang Dong-Seok even as sporting that.
“Excuse me, seniors? I wanna ask you approximately some thing.”
The eyes of the celebrating Hunters without delay targeted on Yu Jin-Ho subsequent. Yu Jin-Ho flapped open Jin-Woo’s contract and confirmed it to them.
“Mister leader, that is Jin-Woo hyung’s contract. As you could see, there may be no clause approximately splitting the treasure beside the magic crystals earned from the hunting itself.”
anybody there caught on to what Yu Jin-Ho changed into trying to mention.
– It’s standard to percentage the treasures or different uncommon gadgets determined in a dungeon similarly among all of the participants of the raid. The splitting of the income, in this example, isn’t the same as monopolising the magic crystals of the monsters one hunted themselves.
In other words, the mana stones needed to be break up ten methods, now not nine.
The mild inside the Hunters’ eyes modified significantly, however Hwang Dong-Seok actually smiled and took a leap forward.
“Of course, we’ll be sharing them equally. I realize the guidelines nicely. We nonetheless have some things to take care of before that, even though.”
Hwang Dong-Seok raised his index finger and pointed to his the front.
Yu Jin-Ho grandly flinched from that. He concept that he become the one being pointed at, without a doubt.
He shuddered slightly and grew to become his head round to take a glance, and sooner or later noticed a spider as big as a residence quietly squatting way over there.
“Heok….!”
Yu Jin-Ho began taking hurried steps backwards and covered his mouth after seeing the spider’s look. as if it became fast asleep, the massive spider didn’t even budge an inch from the spot.
across the creature, there had been empty shells of the lifeless insects piled up as high as a mountain.
A truthful few of them have been ‘1/2-eaten’, and there were bodily fluids jumbled in among them as well, basically resembling a trash pit full of food waste.
“That’s the boss, huh.”
“Did that issue eat the bugs within the dungeon?”
“well, it positive did devour plenty, didn’t it?”
Hunters glared at the spider and exceeded their evaluations one at the time.
Hwang Dong-Seok called the others to collect round. Jin-Woo and Yu Jin-Ho, too, stood in the front of Hwang Dong-Seok as nicely.
“As you all recognise thoroughly, as soon as the boss is killed, the Gate will start ultimate up. So, earlier than we kill the spider, permit’s mine the mana stones first.”
each person nodded their heads.
“Cheol-Jin-ah, did you bring alongside the gadget for the activity?”
the man named Lee Cheol-Jin shook his head.
“No. Who knew we’d find mana stones internal a C-ranked dungeon? all of the mining equipment is again inside the van.”
“Oh, come on now, dude…. Didn’t this hyung always tell you to maintain it around simply in case?”
“My bad, my terrible. I’m in reality sorry approximately this.”
Lee Cheol-Jin grinned brightly and started apologising to Hwang Dong-Seok, the relaxation of his teammates, or even to Jin-Woo.
Hwang Dong-Seok spoke up whilst scratching the lower back of his head.
“Aigoo. What a bother this has become. in that case, why don’t you two live here and wait? We’ll cross outside and fetch the device inside the meantime.”
