Kill the Hero

4.

[This stop is Poongsan Station, Poongsan Station.]

Kim Woo-jin raised his head and looked out the window at the guidance coming from the train to Ilsan.

As the train left history, the developed scenery of Ilsan-dong, Goyang City, unfolded.

‘This place will be destroyed in two years' time. ’

However, the Ilsan landscape in Kim Woo-jin's head was a landscape that was trampled miserably by monsters and devastated in front of the chariots and artillery artillery that were moving to get rid of such monsters.

I didn't imagine it.

Was it a Twin-Head Ogre? ’

In 2025, Ilsan was virtually deprived of the functionality of the city by a twin-headed ogre that fled from a six-story dungeon gate.

And it happened all over the world.

‘Soon. ’

Monsters currently appearing at the Dungeon Gate are intimidating, but at least an ordinary person with a firearm was able to suppress them.

It was the same in 2025. There were no monsters that humanity could not catch.

There was a problem that we needed to deploy chariot troops and fighter troops, not just firearms and artillery.

It was around that time that the world realized the importance of great players and powerful items.

Leaving a dungeon on more than five floors was practically the same as losing the land.

Of course, some people knew that much earlier.

Currently, all players over 100 levels were aware of it.

I couldn't tell.

If you were to face the monsters directly in a three-story dungeon, it would have been easy to imagine what would happen if they jumped out of the dungeon and no one would have had to make them do it.

‘If you know that, you'll never let go. ’

Park Yong-wan and other high-level players risked their lives to get into the dungeon and level up fiercely, and obtain items in the crowd.

Knowing that a time like hell would come when the world couldn't survive without being strong, being stronger when the world was stable was the best way to survive.

‘I don't have to think about it later. ’

At the same time, it was also why they acted as they would without looking back.

2 ⁄ 8765; I know it will be an age of lawlessness in three years, but I honestly have no reason to behave with regard to tax investigations or hearings that will take place in 10 years or 20 years.

There was nothing wrong with selling a country when the order of the world was broken.

The Messiah guild was able to shine even more brightly because it was an age of lawlessness and darkness.

And thanks to the Messiah Guild, Kim Woo-jin didn't have to think about the difficult things.

Of course, I liked the time, I didn't want to tell the same story.

Kim Woo-jin only saw the reality.

‘The world needs to have a minimum of power before that happens. Power that can withstand the threat of the Messiah Guild. ’

If the rules of the world had remained weak at the time the Messiah Guild would have eaten Kim Woo-jin instead.

[This stop is Ilsan, Ilsan Station.]

With that reality in mind, Kim Woo-jin arrived at the destination.

5.

After getting out of the Sunsan Station, I saw a wide farmhouse and a plastic house filled with soil.

The Dungeon Gate, Kim Woo-jin's destination, was inside the most pathetic of its vinyl houses.

The vinyl is torn, and the crumbling vinylhouse greets Kim Woo-jin.

That was it.

There is no one waiting, just a dungeon gate.

You said you ate three parties, right? ’

It was not suitable for a dungeon gate that had already eaten three parties.

After eating three parties, the dungeon was very likely to be turned away by players in the future.

With a dungeon full of cobalt, common sense and skill players will not choose this dungeon.

That is, like the Messiah Guild, monsters will vomit relentlessly until they are abandoned and cleared by players who don't mind the risks.

Then at least we needed to be prepared for the sudden rush of monsters from the dungeon to do damage to the surrounding area.

Of course, no matter how many people died, people who just made money never cared about such things.

‘Hayashi Gonska, you're better than that guy. ’

In other words, he was not that fucking human.

It was not a mistake.

‘I'm keeping it clean. ’

If you had left the dungeon that had already eaten up three parties, there should have been traces of it left nearby.

Or the monsters should have come out and moved.

But the surroundings were clean.

No sign of the monster's footprints, not even the tire tracks of a car.

It meant I was cleaning constantly.

Kim Woo-jin smiled at that.

Funny guy.

Kim Woo-jin had never seen a human in his life who cared about managing a dungeon like this before.

‘I'd like to meet him. ’

For the first time, I wanted to meet a guy called Oh Se Chan.

There was nothing else to consider.

No matter how many people died in this dungeon, no matter how difficult the difficulty, no matter what monsters Cobalt was, it didn't matter to Kim Woo-jin.

As I said before, it was Kim Woo-jin who dealt with the dungeon when he turned his back on everyone.

‘To do that, we'll have to clear this dungeon. ’

That's why Kim Woo-jin entered the dungeon without hesitation.

6.

- Kim Woo-jin, the dungeon is in. I went in alone. I think I'll clear it myself.

“Really? Call me when you get out. ”

- Yes, sir.

The man who put the smartphone down with the call was a young man.

In terms of age, the appearance that would appear to be mid-20s, but the wavy head, thick hornrimmed glasses, muscle-bound body and neurogenic appearance made age colorless.

“What's going on? ”

A middle-eyed man with blue eyes asked a question on a blonde hair with a slim, medium-sized feel that looked like he was in his early 50s.

In addition, the language spoken by the middle-aged man was Russian.

Of course, the answer was also Russia.

“Just because some weirdo wants to make a deal with me. I'm testing it.”

A middle-aged man tilted his head when he said he was a new customer.

“Crazy?”

“Why don't you ask me to pay for transportation? ”

The middle-aged man smiled.

“Trying to rob you of money, you must be a stranger." ”

“Yes, you don't know me. But he contacted me directly that he wanted to make a deal with me through Park Yong-wan. ”

In front of the name Park Yong-wan, the middle-aged man immediately smiled.

“You mean Park Yong-wan from the Firebird Guild? ”

“Is there another bastard named Park Yong-wan that I know? ”

“If you're from Park Yong-wan, you'd better not accept it. ”

Unlike the joking young man, the middle-aged man asked a serious question.

Then the man said in a serious tone.

“I'm not from Park Yong-wan's side. ”

“Are you sure?”

“If you were from Park Yong-wan side, you would make a deal with me through Park Yong-wan. You don't want to be a customer like this. Well, the details are to pass the test and find out. ”

"What are the chances of survival? ”

“You can enter a dungeon with no more than level 20, a maximum of 4 on a difficulty C + rank, and you have to catch 100 cobalt on your own, so the odds aren't that high. ”

The middle-aged man was surprised and said,

“Went in alone? A dungeon with cobalt? ”

The middle-aged man knew Cobalt monsters well.

“Dangerous.”

“Yes, very dangerous. ”

And it was the same for the young man, Oh Se Chan.

“A very dangerous monster who can deal with Goblins and Orcs like you because he has a similar level of olfactory ability, lives in an organized group like wolves, has a companion, and knows how to handle tools enough to use a bow. ”

He also knew how dangerous monsters like Cobalt are and that they need to hunt in a completely different way than Orcs and Goblins.

I also knew that watching incompetent players enter a dungeon with such cobalt without proper preparation was a suicide watch.

“You've got some skills. ”

Moreover, the middle-aged man knew that Se-cchan was never a suicidal man.

“I don't know.”

“Don't you see?”

“Yes, I have no more than 20 levels, no more experience in second floor dungeons, and my career as a player is now beyond the power of a newbie who started over a month ago. However, someone who doesn't even know me contacted me through Park Yong-wan. He even asked me to help him pay for the oil. But after everything we've done, he's not the one looking for an easy way. ”

“Most likely an assassin who's after your life. ”

“Assassin?”

“An unidentified talented person approaching with interest can often be seen in films featuring assassins. ”

A middle-aged man said, and he laughed at me.

“I'd like that. Most of them will be dead in 10 years anyway, and if they're alive in 10 years, that's more like it. And if I die, Gorbachev, you're not a loss, are you? Everything in your name will be yours. ”

At his words, Gorbachev smiles bitterly.

“Whatever it is, it's good. Even if you're a human who's coming to kill me, all you need is your skills. All I need is a monster that can come back smiling, even if I put it in a dungeon like hell. That's why I took Cutline for five days. ”

Five days later, Gorbachev shakes his head.

“Looks like you could really use a monster. ”

“Yes, as long as you're not a monster, you can't kill 100 Cobalt in five days." ”

The eyes of Oh Se-cchan speaking sparkled.

‘Once that monster is in your hands, we can finish this game. ’

Gorbachev, who saw that look in his eyes, stood up.

“Then I better get back to my work, too. ”

He waved his hand and said.

“I'm sorry I didn't make it to the airport. I guess I'm in a bad place. ”

“If you're sorry, why don't you upgrade your seat to a business? ”

“I'll walk you to the airport. You mind if I take the subway? ”

“· · · · · · Done. ”

7.

Rock and tree foothills.

Knng, knng!

A cobalt patrols the foothills alone.

The appearance of such a cobalt did not lack the expression "monster."

Walking on two legs, not four, on the dog's head, and holding a sword and shield in both hands was no more frightening than Orcs or Goblins.

However, the height was close to two meters, and the presence of cobalt, which appeared to be at most 1.4 meters in height compared to a muscular mass of Orc, did not appear to be particularly threatening.

Fighting one-on-one with warrior-type players shouldn't be too difficult.

In fact, Cobalt was as good a catch as any player with more than 10 levels of hunting experience.

Because of this, most of the players, when hunting Cobalt for the first time, if they had a lone patrol, they would hunt without hesitation.

However, I rarely hear such heroic stories.

Only a handful of those who hunted Cobalt in that way came back alive.

Literally.

He never misses the smell of his own people's blood, and if it's to avenge his own kind, it's like taking the inevitable curse of Cobalt's blood with him before he dies.

Ugh!

That was why Kim Woo-jin, who appeared behind Cobalt's back, wrapped Cobalt's neck with a wire in his hand.

Cack!

Cobalt lets out a silent scream with his mouth wide open.

Then Kim Woo-jin slowly waited until Cobalt's heart stopped beating.

Later, Cobalt died with a long tongue.

‘Sacrifice secured. ’

It was a moment when I got my hands on a sacrifice that did not shed a drop of blood.

In fact, Kim Woo-jin didn't have to.

With his current combat strength, he was able to catch a hundred cobalt, even if he was just being hit.

If I exaggerated, all I had to do was catch the cobalt that came after I dipped the blood of the cobalt in my body.

‘Now we just have to dig a trap. ’

But Kim Woo-jin did not.

I'm willing to fight bloody battles if I have to.

However, it wasn't Kim Woo-jin's hunting method that became bloody in situations where it didn't have to be.

If there is overwhelming power, creating more overwhelming results, that was Kim Woo-jin's hunting method.

“Summon Skeleton Soldier. ”

To that end, Kim Woo-jin summoned the Skeleton Soldier.

“Black Bone.”

[Skeleton Disease is possessed by the power of the dark world.]

Skeleton disease with black bones.
