“yes. all the convicts are rank Cs, however the Hunter from the monitoring division is truly a rank B, so there is nothing on the way to fear about.”
Kim Sang-Sik nodded his head.
The popular opinion said which you’d want round ten C-rank Hunters for you to contend against a unmarried Hunter ranked B.
properly, a B-rank was in my view coming to reveal the troublemakers, not to mention taking part within the raid itself, so there was no purpose to mention no here.
‘One rank B and 3 rank Cs, huh…..’
Jin-Woo quietly studied the faces of the monitoring division’s agent as well as the 3 substitute convicts, earlier than tilting his head slightly.
‘something’s off here.’
He may want to experience a minute trace of murderous intent flowing between the ones four.
turned into this additionally one of the aspects of the improved notion Stat? Or was he in reality being overly cautious?
in any case, he became conquer with this unexplainable tension all of a surprising.
So, Jin-Woo whispered in Ju-Hui’s ear.
“leave out Ju-Hui, please don’t take part in this raid.”
Ju-Hui seemed up at Jin-Woo’s eyes and asked back.
“What about you, Mister Jin-Woo?”
rather than answering her, he too requested back.
“If I say I’ll be going?”
“nicely, in that case, I’m going too.”
She looked like she’d comply with him, irrespective of what.
‘I’m certain she’s most effective doing this because she’s concerned approximately me. And….’
And, he discovered via prior enjoy that, every time Ju-Hui’s face turned into forming that expression, she’d come to be a very stubborn younger woman and she’d never change her mind, irrespective of what.
‘There shouldn’t be a trouble with me round, right?’
in any case, he had experienced handling Hwang Dong-Seok’s gang, which contained 5 rank Cs in their midst.
Jin-Woo nodded his head.
“in that case, okay.”
The agent from the monitoring department finished signing on all the documents, after which came to speak to the accumulated Hunters.
“My name is Kahng Tae-Sik from the tracking division. I agree with you’ve been knowledgeable of the scenario. I’ll hold a completely near eye on those three, so that you can relaxation smooth.”
Kahng Tae-Sik then beckoned the 3 convicts to come back closer. all of them trudged towards him and provided their arms. With a practised hand of his personal, Kahng Tae-Sik rapidly undid their cuffs.
“Wowsers. I idea i was gonna die from the stuffiness just now.”
“We ain’t even slaves, so isn’t it in opposition to our rights for you to tug us around right here and there like this?”
The convicts massaged their freed wrists and continued to pile on their court cases.
Kahng Tae-Sik roundly disregarded them and lower back his gaze returned to the Hunters.
“Who will be taking the lead nowadays?”
song Chi-Yeol, having led raids before, raised his hand about half manner up. Kahng Tae-Sik nodded his head.
“Understood.”
With tune Chi-Yeol within the lead, Hunters entered the Gate one at a time.
“let’s get going as nicely.”
Jin-Woo and Ju-Hui additionally entered the Gate, albeit on the identical time.
perhaps the trauma from the remaining incident remained together with her, because she ever so barely held onto Jin-Woo’s sleeve.
***
Goblins had been the principle enemies for this dungeon. They had been the weakest of all man-type monsters accessible. So, clearing the dungeon itself wasn’t hard at all.
“Kiiieeehhk!!”
“Kiiehhk!!”
those bizarre-searching creatures were susceptible enough for Jin-Woo to fight evenly one on one even earlier than he were given his strength boost. nonetheless, Jin-Woo did his utmost satisfactory to carefully hunt Goblins together with his naked arms.
“Kiiehhck!!”
“Kahk!!”
when Jin-Woo displayed the fight prowess that without difficulty surpassed their imaginations, both Ju-Hui and track Chi-Yeol’s eyes became extra spherical in surprise.
“Wow.”
He changed into hiding most of his real electricity, yet the result of every combat became nonetheless remarkably one-of-a-kind compared to the beyond. Ju-Hui approached him and punctiliously asked him.
“have you ever been running out currently?”
“well… I, uh, I’ve been running each day.”
“going for walks??”
Ju-Hui tilted her head, but properly, he wasn’t technically mendacity here, so….
‘however except all that… I’m not incomes any revel in factors right here.’
“Kiiieeehhck!!”
[The enemy’s level is too low, and your experience points did not rise.]
“Kah-gahk!!”
[The enemy’s level is too low, and your experience points did not rise.]
Jin-Woo fashioned a disappointed expression.
The message of Goblins being too weak and him now not getting any enjoy factors stored repeating itself.
‘This isn’t going to work….’
On top of this, the magic crystals from the Goblins have been also the worst grade there can be.
Jin-Woo took a go searching him.
The C-ranked convicts should’ve been honestly excited with the aid of the taste of freedom due to the fact they had been wildly swinging their weapons and energetically ripped Goblins to shreds.
“Kkkiiiieehhhkk!!”
“Kehk! Kehhk!!”
From that scene alone, it changed into tough to tell apart simply who were the monsters and who have been the people there.
‘I guess there’s no purpose for me to break a sweat these days.’
properly, he wasn’t incomes any experience factors, nor was he making plenty of cash these days, either. A sure concept popped up in his head subsequent.
‘If it’s going to be like this from now on, wouldn’t it’s higher to cease the association?’
pretty a whole lot the majority of jobs coming to the association’s manner have been clearing the Gates ranked D and E. but, if his degree wasn’t going to boom from coming into the ones styles of Gates, then there has been no want to take part in association’s raids anymore.
‘i will easily earn mom’s sanatorium prices on my own now, too.’
He should stop the association at any time he felt like it.
This turned into why having cash turned into constantly for the higher. As soon as he had some, his selection had widened. while contemplating this and that, the raid group entered deeper into the dungeon.
“Uh?”
“Mm…..”
and shortly, a forked street with 3 paths seemed before them.
Kahng Tae-Sik made an offer to track Chi-Yeol.
“on the grounds that the difficulty of the dungeon is low, how about splitting up from right here onwards?”
“sure, permit’s do this.”
music Chi-Yeol comfortably agreed to that concept.
Jin-Woo closed his eyes and prolonged his perception to the max.
‘Now, which route ends in the boss?’
He was hoping that maybe the boss could give him a few experience factors, not less than.
soon sufficient, he should choose up on the auras of all residing creatures in the dungeon.
Jin-Woo opened his eyes and spoke to tune Chi-Yeol.
“Ahjussi, permit’s cross left.”
“okay.”
Jin-Woo, music Chi-Yeol, and Ju-Hui selected the left pathway, Kahng Tae-Sik and the three convicts the right one, and the last two went down the center one.
Jin-Woo’s coronary heart started out beating a touch bit faster.
‘The boss is on the give up of this passage.’
although it couldn’t be defined as strong, a unique and distinct air of mystery from that of a Goblin was leaking out from the end of this cavern-like passageway.
He desired to quickly kill the boss.
however, agencies of Goblins kept jumping out at him each couple of steps he took, and this hindered their progress.
“Kek, kek, kek,”
“Keeriiick.”
“Keeiick.”
And this time, there had been around ten of them or so.
One carried a wood membership. One held a timber sword, one even held a protracted wooden shaft with a stone shard crudely tied across the tip….
they had armed themselves to the pleasant in their capabilities, but…. None of them controlled to threaten him.
‘Haven’t you men had sufficient yet?’
Jin-Woo frowned sincerely deeply. It proved to be a this kind of trouble, those b*stards that were really worth not anything but moved around in big organizations like this.
“There are ten of them this time….”
“What ought to we do, ahjussi? ought to we come lower back after locating the others?”
however, Jin-Woo’s companions had been getting instead sombre approximately the modern-day dilemma they have been in.
“nonetheless, there are most effective Goblins here, so maybe we must attempt fighting them first.”
“ok.”
Flames formed at the tip of tune Chi-Yeol’s palms, while Ju-Hui got prepared to solid her healing magic as nicely.
meanwhile, Jin-Woo turned into scratching the back of his head.
‘Now that I reflect onconsideration on it, I’m no longer feeling apprehensive in any respect even though I’m internal a dungeon.’
was it due to the fact he had come to be incomparably stronger than earlier than? simplest now did he develop a bit bit greater conscious of the modifications that had taken region inside him.
music Chi-Yeol requested Jin-Woo.
“Mister Seong, are you prepared?”
“Oh, uh, sure. i’m.”
Jin-Woo matched the timing with the relaxation of his teammates and slowly hunted every Goblin down.
And so, as they progressively cleared the dungeon….
suddenly, screams reverberated during the dungeon from somewhere, one after the other.
“Uwwaahhhk!!”
“Uwahhkk!!”
those weren’t from the Goblins. No, they absolutely belonged to people.
Jin-Woo, song Chi-Yeol, and Yi Ju-Hui exchanged glances.
They thought the things had calmed down, only for but another determined scream to go into their ears.
“Uwaahhhh!!”
music Chi-Yeol’s expression hardened.
“let’s cross take a look.”
The three of them speedy ran to wherein the screams got here from.
Jin-Woo ought to’ve run quicker than his two companions, but for the sake of their safety, matched their speeds.
….simply how long did they ought to run?
Ju-Hui cried out in alarm after locating someone.
“There’s someone there….!”
And it simply so occurred to be the Hunter from the tracking department, Kahng Tae-Sik. He changed into kneeling on the floor, blanketed absolutely in blood.
Kahng Tae-Sik shouted out at them.
“Be, be cautious! I don’t recognise where they may be proper now!”
Kahng Tae-Sik spat those words out with great difficulty earlier than collapsing on the floor in ache.
“Euh-heuk….”
Ju-Hui couldn’t watch on anymore and hurriedly ran closer to Kahng Tae-Sik.
“maintain on, I’ll heal you right now!”
Ju-Hui turned into wondering like this; regardless of where the enemies were hiding, she became nonetheless a Healer ranked B. meaning, the rate of her healing magic become very speedy.
So, she idea that earlier than enemies attacked them, it’d be more positive for her to quickly heal Kahng Tae-Sik.
“Please preserve on for a little while longer.”
Ju-Hui stood in front of Kahng Tae-Sik and reached out with both of her fingers.
mild rays of light amassed close to the ends of her fingers.
It occurred then.
Kahng Tae-Sik swiftly raised his top body up and took intention at the centre of Ju-Hui’s neck with his hand full of magical electricity.
graceful!!
simply earlier than his fingertip should touch Ju-Hui’s Adam’s apple, someone managed to grab Kahng Tae-Sik’s wrist simply in time.
Snap!
“Ahh…!!”
The taken aback Ju-Hui stumbled backwards earlier than falling on her rear.
Plop.
Kahng Tae-Sik’s expression became one of bowled over amazement.
‘He stopped my attack in that short area of time?’
It became no longer a hard activity for a high-ranked Hunter to address a handful of decrease-ranked Hunters.
The handiest thorn in his facet nowadays came about to a female Hunter ranked B, the identical rank as he turned into. The silver lining about this thorn turned into that she turned into now not a fight-related Hunter. She didn’t possess any capabilities to shield herself, so so long as he succeeded in sneak attacking her, everything might give up pretty without difficulty.
however…. to assume, his sneak attack would grow to be missing.
With things like this, there was no praise for all that terrific performing he had placed on.
Kahng Tae-Sik’s gaze followed the hand grabbing his wrist and to its owner. And Jin-Woo’s face turned into at the quit.
Jin-Woo’s eyes had been emitting a very sturdy light of murderous cause.
Kahng Tae-Sik frowned deeply.
“How dare you, a f*cking association backside-feeder!!”
sleek!
Kahng Tae-Sik’s different fist flew towards Jin-Woo’s face. however, Jin-Woo surely tilted his head out of the manner and permit the fist fly through.
‘What?!’
Kahng Tae-Sik hurriedly yanked his arm unfastened from Jin-Woo’s draw close.
“Huh?”
Jin-Woo displayed his shock next. As anticipated from a excessive-ranked Hunter and his electricity.
Now that each of his arms had been freed, Kahng Tae-Sik started pouring out assaults with out a relaxation.
however, Jin-Woo additionally moved at the speed that didn’t lose out to Kahng Tae-Sik’s and went on the offensive of his personal, too.
Pow-pow-pabababahat!!
Fists and fingers belonging two guys for ever and ever collided and traded endless blows.
None of them showed any signs of backing off.
Seizing this possibility, song Chi-Yeol fast dragged Ju-Hui away from the place.
“Ah-ahjussi….”
Ju-Hui couldn’t finish what she desired to say due to the sheer shock from seeing what was occurring proper now.
however, there has been one character here who changed into even more stunned than Ju-Hui, and that became none aside from track Chi-Yeol.
‘just how on earth is that this feasible…..?’
This fierce war unfolding at a scarcely plausible velocity – he changed into having a hard time looking to follow along with his eyes.
some thing like that changed into expected of a excessive-ranked Hunter, in order that become high-quality, but then, the Seong Jin-Woo preventing that guy couldn’t had been the equal man or woman from music Chi-Yeol’s recollections. The teenagers turned into virtually now not dropping out towards a rank-B Hunter at all.
‘I’m a C-rank, or even i will’t comply with his moves with my eyes!’
certainly, his intestine feeling proved to be right.
The Jin-Woo in the front of his eyes proper now changed into not the identical youth from his reminiscences, an E-rank who became vulnerable but owning a good head on his shoulders.
inside the blink of an eye fixed, the two traded hundreds of blows and they quick stepped again even as trying to capture their breaths.
Jin-Woo glared at Kahng Tae-Sik and frowned.
“The blood for your garments… I’m guessing it’s now not yours.”
Kahng Tae-Sik loosened his wrist and spoke back returned.
“That’s proper, it belongs to the ones b*stards. except all that, I by no means expected to run into a Hunter of your calibre in this sh*tty place.”
truly talking, Kahng Tae-Sik turned into genuinely inspired.
He hadn’t heard of any information regarding a high-rating Hunter slumming it out together with the ones backside-feeders operating for the affiliation.
‘that is going to cost me huge time.’
He notion that these days would be the best time to behave, so he did his deeds, however quite unexpectedly, he ran into a quite steep hurdle here.
Kahng Tae-Sik couldn’t control his curiosity and asked out aloud.
“Who the hell are you? What rank are you?”
Jin-Woo summoned the Poison Fang of Kasaka, and even as greedy it tightly in his hand, answered as a substitute curtly.
“Seong Jin-Woo. I’m rank E.”
