Kill the Hero

5.

The moment 19 players entered the dungeon, a dry stage welcomed them.

A cliff of thin dirt surrounds them like a stadium, giving it the impression that it brought a corner of the Grand Canyon to life.

It was an amazing sight worth spitting out at least once.

However, not one of the 19 players who saw this scene was interested in seeing it.

“Hey!"

“What?”

“There's the oyster! ”

All they cared about was the cliffs that surrounded them, the caverns that stood there like rats.

There are 11 caves.

The entrance was large enough to fit a large SUV.

“Look at that. ”

“There's a trail next to the entrance to the cave. ”

There were artificial traces next to the entrance of such a cave.

There was an X mark with a sharp blade. Some dungeons had two X's.

It was a trail left by players who had already visited this dungeon before.

“Are you telling me not to go in there? ”

“I think you just checked in. ”

There was a brief discussion about the trail.

“Well, whatever. It doesn't change that we have to catch those Goblin bastards inside anyway, right? ”

It was literally a short discussion.

“It's best to kill the Goblins. If that's what you're after in a cave like this, it's not a job. ”

“Well, a Goblin is an annoying man for catching a runaway, just like catching a rat in a poison. ”

“One tank ahead, and it's game over. ”

“How many idiots died without clearing this dungeon? ”

Players came here to hunt, not to comfort the dead and collect their ashes.

“Two X's would kill two parties, right? ”

“That means you have two party items. ”

Rather, they were much more interested in collecting the remains of the dead.

No, it was obvious he was after it from the start.

“We're going in here! If you come in here without our permission, you will kill me without warning, so don't come in here! ”

“Here, here, here. We'll take these three. Don't touch them. If he touches me, I'll cut off one of his fingers. ”

“We'll go in here. ”

The evidence was that the three parties began to take over a cave with two X's without hesitation.

If they knew the characteristics of the Hop Goblins and knew the characteristics of the caves, they would never have tried to take over the caves that appeared to have been annihilated by the two parties.

“Four of you, no complaints? Huh?”

And there would have been no need to reveal your teeth in order to protect the cave from other competitors like prey.

“Yes, nothing. ”

Kim Woo-jin was confident that he would send an answer to them.

‘No one has ever prepared a proper hunt for a Hop Goblin. ’

That gaze of Woojin Kim turned to three skull guild members wearing skeleton masks.

‘They didn't come here to hunt Hobb Goblins in the first place. ’

Based on such information, Kim Woo-jin drew a new picture in his head.

‘The Skull Guild won't be able to hunt 444 Goblins on their own unless they're fools, so I'll wait for other players to reduce the number of Hop Goblins. ’

As he painted the painting, Kim Woo-jin did not hesitate to head for the cave without any X marks.

Ugh!

‘If you want to give me time, I should thank you. ’

Then, after marking the first "X" next to the cave, he entered without hesitation.

The hunt for Hop Goblin Cave has begun.

6.

Hobb Goblin.

Their appearance was not that different from those of ordinary Goblins.

It was all the difference between being smaller than a Goblin, but more muscular than a Goblin, and having a horn the length of a finger on its head.

However, his personality was completely different from that of ordinary Goblins.

The average Goblin was scared. When a colleague dies, he doesn't look back. He runs away as an offering, but he can run away as long as he smells his colleague's blood later.

But the Hobb Goblins were different.

They were fearless. Rather, they were no less favorable than Orcs, and the more they gathered, the stronger they got.

Then what if we have to deal with these Hop Goblins in a dark cave where a car passes by?

Most people think like this:

Have an armed warrior stand in front of you with armor and shield to block the way before you do it sequentially.

Yang days, his thoughts were the same.

He made the Tough Fighter of Life his target. He prepared for the fact that he had to hunt Goblins in the cave.

You get a bigger armor to make sure you block the passageway with your body. You get a bigger shield.

In fact, the sheep who put on their armor and put up their shields were blocking much of the cave.

In other words, not all of the cave passageways were blocked.

Kyaa!

“Oh, oh! ”

That's why one Hop Goblin was able to escape the gap created by Yang Days.

“Shit, watch out! ”

Yang Daysu was embarrassed by that.

However, it was nothing compared to the embarrassment of two wizards, Healer, and an archer who believed in such a number of days and prepared only an attack from behind.

Howbeit, the movements of the Hop Goblins seemed even more bizarre in the situation where the torch only illuminated the cave.

“Ugh!”

“D, run! ”

The two wizards backed away from the incoming Hop Goblins.

‘Oh, I don't see it. ’

The archer who has to fight has also failed to respond to the sudden incident.

Ting!

You strike an arrow, but the arrow is just stuck in the ground.

Kyaa!

“Grr!”

When the archer again stuck an arrow in the demonstration, the Hop Goblin was already attached to Hiller.

Kyaa!

The Hop Goblin attached to the hiller snapped his shoulder with my teeth.

Of course, Hiller also wore his own armor, so there was no bloodshed.

“Hey, go away! Aaaah! Help me! Help me! Aaaah! ”

However, it was impossible to stop Hiller's scream from consuming the spirit of the two-day party.

What's going on back there? ’

It was also impossible to prevent the double-day spirit from being sold behind the scenes.

Kyaa!

“Joe, look out! ”

The Hobb Goblin squeezes out once again for a split second.

This time there were two.

Kyaa!

A total of three Hop Goblins started rampaging inside the party.

It wasn't just a two-day party.

“No, I missed it! ”

“Joe, look out! ”

“Aah!”

The same thing was happening in three caves.

It was also the third job for the Hobb Goblins there. There were three X's next to the cave.

That was why the Hop Goblins were able to move more systematically and more favorably.

Of course, some places didn't.

That was where Kim Woo-jin was.

Kyaa!

Kim Woo-jin's method of hunting was also fundamentally the same as others'.

He also blocked the passageway, preventing the Hobblin Goblins from passing by.

However, he did not block the passageway by wearing armor or raising his shield forward.

Kang!

Instead, he was a cage.

Literally.

Something seems to have been taken from the cage and intercepted between Kim Woo-jin and a group of Hop Goblins.

In addition, the bars are slanted, and the supports are placed underneath so that they do not fall on the floor.

If you look at it from the side, it looks like a right triangle.

Trembling!

And behind the bars were Skeleton Soldiers holding long spears.

Puck!

Skeleton soldiers stick to the bars and stab the Hop Goblins, one by one.

This was Kim Woo-jin's hunting method.

‘It's rewarding to be prepared. ’

It was not difficult to prepare.

Melting Normal-grade items from the dungeons and making them as easy to assemble as tents after melting them was too easy in the real world. Even in dungeons, the materials were heavier than steel but lighter than steel.

The cost was no different from what players spent on expensive spirits and cocktails in any of Gangnam's bars.

However, the value of that cage was appalling.

Kyaa!

Even though the Hobb Goblins were blinded by the death of their own kind over and over again, none of the Hobb Goblins were able to do anything about it. They have not broken the bars, and there are no weapons beyond them.

Kang!

At best, the rocks were all thrown, but even so, most of them were blocked by bars.

Puck!

Skeleton soldiers, on the other hand, stabbed a spear through the bars very skillfully.

Furthermore, the Skeleton Soldiers did not just stab.

If I could aim for the same area as the eye, I was the first one, and I was aiming for a place where the wound could be as deep as possible and there could be a lot of bleeding.

Puck!

I also did not forget to stab and drop those who were lying on the bars like a shrine.

Of course, the cage wasn't perfect.

Depending on the shape of the passageway in the cave, there were occasional gaps that could be squeezed out.

Queek!

A Hobblin Goblin just scrunched out of the gap.

That was it.

Kim Woo-jin will only observe the gap if he knows exactly where the gap is.

Puck!

Queek!

As soon as the Hop Goblins came out of the gap, Kim Woo-jin's flying arrow pierced the Hob Goblin's glabella.

‘You're walking right into a trap. ’

In fact, for the Hop Goblins, the gap between the bars was like the surest trap leading to death.

That's what a trap is.

There is no such thing as a trap.

It looks like you can go, but the only thing that can't come back once you put your foot in is a real trap.

So Kim Woo-jin and the Skeleton Soldier hunted the Hop Goblins step by step.

Soon, there came the screams of the Hop Goblins, as well as the silence that could not even hear their breath.

[Level has increased.]

Then I heard a notification in Kim Woo-jin's ear.

It was a reminder of the end of the hunt.

However, Kim Woo-jin's gaze, when Kim Woo-jin turned his head back on the alert, was not the gaze of the hound that ended the hunt.

It was the look of the hound that discovered the real target.

7.

Skull mask.

“Remember.”

A beautiful voice flowed through the hideous mask.

“Our goal is to get him to vomit information somehow. That's why you can't kill him. If you kill someone by mistake, everything that comes into this mess becomes a bubble. ”

However, the speech was far from beautiful.

“If you think it's dangerous, use potions to save your life. We'll have to torture him for at least two days before he spits. ”

Park Yi-yeon, a guild member of the Skull Guild, repeatedly said a creepy word.

The other two men did not answer the same question, yes.

You do not question the terrifying command of taking a player and torturing him for information.

It was as if the fishermen didn't question the idea of catching fish.

Moreover, Park Yi-yeon, she has been doing this since before becoming a player.

From a secret unit under the Self-Defense Forces, she was raised for many peacekeeping activities and has been an entrepreneur in getting information out of people before becoming a player.

“I'm going in.”

It was frankly not enough to go into the cave alone and deal with the players fighting the monsters.

“From now on, all conversations are in sign language. Stick with your senses and move as hard as you can. ”

Just remember one thing.

“Don't forget the teachings of the palace. ”

A palace ( ⁄ 24339;) of Noda Heiji, the owner of Achilles' bow, a legendary tier item.

However, I do not forget the teachings of a hunter more famous as one of the heroes of the Messiah Guild than such a modifier.

'Here we go.'

When Park Yi-yeon, who had the lesson, sent a call, the two remaining people answered with a call.

So the three of them went into the cave.
