How the Villain Lives

3. The runner.

From the intermediate level onwards, only the top rankers, or rankers, were at different heights. Rumor has it that there is someone who has proven himself to be superior, but that was just a rumor everywhere. Even Seong-hyun, who thinks he is at the forefront, is now barely intermediate (specialized), and it was hard to think of anyone else in the senior ranks.

'No, I think he's mastering advanced spearing if he's too strong.'

I think I've been in for quite some time, but the monster hasn't come out. I could barely find two or three traps. In the front was Ilwoo, behind him Dong-cheol, in the middle was Zinc and Eli, and in the back was Sung-hoon walking in preparation for the situation. It is also important to hold back the front, but monsters can raid in caves like this.

However, after a peaceful atmosphere, Sung-hoon spoke to Eli.

"Is Miss Eli a ranker?"

"I don't know, but other people say so."

"That's great. You must be very strong if you're a ranker, but if you're a top-ranker, you get all the real emotion."

"I can't compare to them."

Eli shakes his head at the sound of a top-ranker. If the rankers were strong, the toprankers were truly heavenly and extraterrestrial. The two most representative were the Mage Mirina and the Chang King.

Mage Mirina was a strong man who single-handedly defeated Moonlight Cave Investigation, a Class C mission, and even though Chang was strong, she was gaining more fame from the power of the Hatefathans he created. Compared to the contenders like that, Ellie is not proud to be a ranker.

"A. You're still that rare wizard ranker. Wouldn't Miss Eli be a top-ranker, if only by wizards?"

"Well, that's not it. Thank you for praising me..."

Eli's face starts to tingle red as he paints gold face-to-face. I was ashamed to say a few compliments, so I lost my voice. I felt more ashamed than I thought.

"Hey! Come here! Werewolf!"

"Here we go!"

"Crrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr"

With a low sound, the wear wolf begins to appear in front. I couldn't say that my body was so big, but I had a feeling that I couldn't deal with the dense muscles on the ground. When only two of them came out, Seonghun entered the front and fell behind him. Eli and Zinc each tried to load magic and arrows, but were forced to stop moving at the cry of Dongchul.

"Don't attack! This will be handled by me and Sung-hoon one by one!"

I don't know if I want to waste power uselessly in a place just yet or show off my strength, but Seong Hoon once pulled a longsword and confronted Werewolf. It was the axing of Dongchul that knocked down the confrontation in the middle of a strange static.

"Bash!"

Qaaaaaah!

The axe shines brightly, so I hit the place where Werewolf was. However, Werewolf, who broke the ground and avoided attacks on the fragments that were made, was about to be hit. After exercising great skill, one Werewolf wielded his fingernails, but was forced to resist the longsword stretched out by Sung-hoon.

"Let's stick together."

"Argh!"

Werewolf's physical abilities are very high. If you're careful, you'll get hit right away. In contrast, however, the monotonous attack pattern and the short rich gave him enough time to respond.

With exceptional agility, the easiest way to counteract Werewolf attacks and the easiest way to strike with joy was from pole to pole.

"Eli. Isn't Sung-hoon a ranker? I'm just playing with one Werewolf."

"Well, I see."

"Oh, man."

Sung-hoon, who was listening to all the conversation while fighting, frowned. I was reluctant to reveal all my skills to others. In the world of The Mission, it was because I didn't know when my colleagues would hit the back. In addition, everyone had a number of spleen that was not visible to others, or concealed three halves of their skills. Of course, Sung-hoon was concealing five halves of his skills by proportion.

Normally, it was normal to be adequately equipped with a Wear Wolf to deal roughly without using any skills. However, a newly acquired intermediate examination (specialization) was creating this situation.

The movement, which was quite rigid, was trimmed as a whole, and the power of the attack, which rose by 10%, had enough power to shake Werewolf's balance.

'I need to be more careful.'

"Power Step! Bash!"

Kwajik!

The moment I thought about it, Dong-cheol finished Werewolf completely. I stretched out my power steps to instantly increase my physical abilities and abandoned Werewolf with a bash. I tried to stop the attack with my fingernails, but the axe that entered perfectly without missing a chance had that much power to disable the defenses.

Dong-cheol, who looked around for a while, noticed that Sung-hoon was still pushing against Wear Wolf. He was a propagandist, but when Dong-cheol stopped in the back, he collapsed without even using his hands.

"Well done."

"Hmph, that's it. It's nothing. You're more than that. What makes you so nervous about Werewolf?"

"Oh, that's what I mean. I didn't learn any active skills."

"What?"

In the words of Sung-hoon, everyone was surprised not only by Dong-chul but also by others.

Skills are divided into two main categories: active and passive. Active is direct and passive is always active. Based on the ratio of active and passive skills in The Mission, the ratio of passive skills was about 3: 7. Most dancers were passive skills that dealt a few percent more damage to the attack than people thought, and Simulation was a passive skill that increased Magic Recovery and Magic Output.

However, anyone was acquainted with one or two active skills.

Even the bash, which is the lowest of all active skills in the enterprise, has 30% more damage compared to passive skills such as' smoothes movement 'and' gives a certain extra bonus'. But it doesn't make sense that you didn't learn any active skills.

"Hey, does that make sense? I didn't learn any active skills.."

"I'm sorry. I didn't acquire active skills because I had a lot of money to spend. At least I have a high level of ability thanks to my performance."

"Hmm."

Dong-cheol looks down at Werewolf's body against Sung-hoon. I've seen shallow wounds all over my body, but I haven't seen any fatal wounds. Definitely lacked a strong one.

"Hey, you're just... no. Let's go first."

"Sorry."

Dong-cheol closes his mouth as he lowers his head and follows. If the other user did, he would have beaten Lord Sung-hoon at once, but his abilities were comparable to those of a ranker. Besides, unlike skill-dependent people, basic combat skills were also smooth.

Dong-cheol, who was sneaking back, lowered his voice and whispered in the ear of zinc.

"What do you think?"

Zinc, the archer, would have judged the situation much more objectively than he was when he was nervous about dealing with Werewolf. Zinc, who held back his eyes as if thinking of something, immediately said what he thought.

"If you look at the instantaneous output, you're better. But if you look at the average combat ability, he's better. I can tie up four Werewolfs on my own if I can keep it under control."

"That's right."

There is no decisive one, but it is still useful overall. I thought it would be easy to clear if I entrusted the monsters with Aggro and the rest of the people took care of it one by one.

Even this level of skill was satisfactory enough. In the battle that followed, the rest showed off their skills.

"Ice Spear!"

Two windows of ice the size of an adult's forearm were made at the same time, piercing Werewolf's body. The Dagger, which struck the leg as it followed, finished the battle by hitting the arrow neatly with zinc on Werewolf's stumbling head.

As he continued his victory about two or three times, Dong-cheol exclaimed as he became a contributor.

"Great! You don't have to worry about this. It's a rush from now on!"

Needless to say, the group's morale had already peaked. The group's skills were excellent, but the senses of Seonghun and Eli's magic, which moderately controlled the numbers while simultaneously dealing with several Werewolfs, were particularly glowing.
