Kill the Hero

1.

[Kill Goblins hiding from Orc hordes to advance to the next floor.]

New notifications knocked players' ears at the same time as they entered the dungeon.

The silence is pale.

“On one condition. ”

It was Jeong Hyun-young who broke the silence.

He wears armor made of black leather and carries a huge shield on his back like a bag, turning towards the throne.

“The attack conditions are not difficult, so let's move on the first floor. Instead, if you find a Goblin, don't kill him alone, let him know about it. ”

There was no answer.

It was because I had already spoken to him before entering the dungeon.

Jung Hun-young also, without waiting for an answer, immediately said to his party members.

“Well, let's get back to work today! ”

“Wow!"

“Yep!”

His companions shout in excitement and hurl themselves along Jung Hun-young into the dense forest.

Afterwards, the other party moved in the opposite direction to Jung Hun-young's group without leaving a note like this.

Kim Woo-jin is all that's left now.

The lonely Kim Woo-jin sits motionless.

Then I remembered the conversation I had with Jeong Hun-young in the bathroom.

‘The fight is on the second floor. ’

Jung Hun-young said the plan in the bathroom.

The 1st Floor Dungeon uses normal activities and asks you to kill the Skull Guild members who concealed their identity as they enter the 2nd Floor Dungeon.

We did not explain why.

Nothing unusual. When a bodyguard is guarding a factor, doesn't that explain all the reasons in detail?

And I didn't even have to explain why.

‘Looks like you're in a hurry. ’

Kim Woo-jin obviously knew why.

‘Even if it's D + rank, the second floor is the second floor. ’

Through Lee Yeon Park's memory, she was able to determine how many times Jung Hyun-young had already traded with the Skull Guild, how many times they were the main customers of the Skull Guild, and how good they were.

At the same time, you can see the skill of the assassins sent from the Skull Guild to kill you.

‘There's nothing you can do to clear this dungeon without me. ’

It was not a problem for the nine of them to clear this dungeon unless Park Lee Yeon mistakenly remembered their abilities.

‘Especially that Matsumoto. ’

Among them, one of the Skull Guild's assassins, Matsumoto, was quite skilled.

"Guardian of the holy light." ’

I was carrying the light that made Lee Se-jun a hero, the guardian of the holy light.

They had no problem clearing the second floor dungeon.

‘But if I go crazy, I'll be in trouble. ’

However, if Kim Woo-jin becomes a variable and moves, the situation had to change in some way.

For example, if Kim Woo-jin escapes from the first floor.

Or if you have a problem hunting Kim Woo-jin and more than two deaths occur.

In that case, I had to keep the greater damage in mind even if I cleared it.

Above all, Kim Woo-jin already had a career that was out of the hands of the Skull Guild.

‘They can't have Anubis' eyes, so they want to keep me alive as long as they can. ’

The skull guild wanted to underestimate Kim Woo-jin, but they couldn't underestimate him, and most of all, they needed to keep him alive in order to get information from him.

Taking that into account, hunting Kim Woo-jin was much harder than I thought.

‘I think it's best to clear the first floor quietly and move from the second floor. ’

As much as Happiness on the first floor should be avoided.

In other words, on the first floor, they will act as hunters looking at their prey.

He won't care if the prey grazes the grass or drinks water or what he does.

‘I'll just watch what I do on the first floor. ’

Of course, they won't care about accumulating the bodies of Orcs who will become Kim Woojin's blood, weapons, and soldiers.

When I came to think of it, Kim Woo-jin woke up.

2.

Jeong Hun-young, a 29-level player, was an undeniable talent.

He also made a tough life fighter his best fighter, and his situation judgment and command skills were excellent.

And he was good at calculating.

“So what about him? ”

“I'm constantly catching Orcs. You're quite skillful.You can poison them with blood poisoning and then escape from cooking well, dig traps, and more. ”

“What else is unique? ”

“Not really. We're still focusing on the hunt. If it's any indication, they took care of the body separately. Well, that's wise. ”

“Keep an eye out, though, just in case. Be sure to identify his behavior patterns and abilities. That way we can get him clean. ”

That was why Jung Hyun-young wasn't escorting Kim Woo-jin, but was hunting him down.

“Don't you worry too much? ”

“Yeah, why don't you lie down and eat? An assassin and a bodyguard, which is basically the end of the game. I can't help it if I have a failed career. ”

As I said before, Jung Hyun-young's skills were real.

A real skilled person who doesn't have to worry about work just because he has a few career failures.

“It's this easy, and it's one billion won per two, so · · · · · · it's too easy to make money. ”

In his position, there was no reason to hesitate to take the money in return for failing the mission.

As his colleague said earlier, the game was actually over the moment Jeong Hun-young's group betrayed him.

“The skull guild is always bigger. ”

“I don't know where they get their money from. ”

Moreover, this was not the first time I made a deal with the Skull Guild.

Nevertheless, it had never been discovered. That's how perfect their work was.

Even if I loosened the tension a little, I honestly didn't have a problem.

“Don't loosen the straps. ”

However, Jung Hyun-young rather tightened the tension strap.

“The Skull Guild is no fool, and there's no need to spend this much money on easy things. There must be something we can do for Kim Woo-jin. ”

That was why Jeong Hyun-young was a real skilled person.

“So first, we need to find out everything he's got. ”

Jung Hyun-young, who was speaking, immediately looked at a male colleague next to him and said,

“Always emphasize, you shouldn't hunt when you're on the lookout for a bunch of prey. Try to pull as hard as you can, relax, and then go for it. ”

With the answer, Jeong Hyun-young looked around.

“Better yet, isn't it time for a shift? ”

A woman wearing a lightweight leather armor and a feathered hat nods.

“I see. It's time for my shift, and I'm not coming. ”

Everyone is silent for a moment because there are no watchers sent to keep an eye on Kim Woo-jin.

I felt tense.

It was evidence that no one knew how important punctuality was in surveillance.

“Shall I go? ”

A female player raises her hand.

Jung Hun-young said to him.

“No, we're all going together. ”

3.

Grrrrrrr!

An orc moves through the dense forest.

Grrrrrgh!

The mover's behavior was very violent and neurotic.

The Orc now smells blood, and it smells very fresh blood.

At the same time, it was proof that the Orcs were hungrier than ever before.

Khh!

A piece of meat that smelled like blood appeared in the eyes of such Orcs.

A player is shivering with blood on the floor.

Khhh!

Orcs start racing towards the literally prepared meal table.

It was that moment.

A player appears from somewhere, bashing the Orc's head in with a giant hammer in his hand.

Grrr!

The orc falls to the ground as it sounds, with the sound of something hard breaking beyond a simple strike.

Ordinary people just died there, but there was nothing strange about it.

Khh!

However, the fallen Orcs moved to get up quickly, rather than dying.

Khh!

However, the skull fracture and damage to the brain left a fatal wound on the Orc's senses, including the sense of balance.

Sheepdog!

The Orc that was about to rise falls to the ground once more.

Players with hammers towards such Orcs again begin to bash the heads of the Orcs.

Grrr!

The sound of the skull cracking repeatedly resonates.

At that moment, Jung Hyun-young, who was beating the hammer, shouted.

“Keep an eye on things! ”

The horse immediately approached the fallen player, a man wearing an armor.

In the man's left hand was a bottle of wood containing potions and a white light that meant the healing skill was activated in his right hand.

It meant he was a hiller, and that's why he was wearing armor.

It's only natural to give stronger defense gear to a weaker healer when maneuver is not important.

“Two!”

In the meantime, Jeong Hyun-young summoned the two remaining colleagues.

Two of them quickly appeared.

Grrr!

Jung Hun-young slaps the hammer at the Orc's head again and yells at the two of them.

“Look out! ”

In response, the two men were alert with their own weapons.

Jung Hun-young, too, has now begun to ignore the Orcs trembling around her.

What's going on? ’

At this moment, Jung Hun-young's eyes were sharp enough to remind me of the beast.

It was worth it.

The search party was hit by the same thing as the snow, but even those who were after the snow had to have more than their usual skills.

It was evidence that there were two others around here with intelligence and skill.

"Who?"

And who might that be?

Here, Jeong Hyun-young did not specify any enemies.

At that time, I heard a voice behind Jung Hyun-young.

“Kuaak!”

The sound of the screams of Hiller Ile running to heal a fallen comrade.

When Jeong Hyun-young turned to the sound, he saw two Orcs with only bones left in their eyes and Lee Il-yeong, who was stabbed with a horrible blade of bone in his hand, and Kim Jin-wook, who came to rescue, cut his throat and couldn't even scream.

"Trap!"

You see Hillor walking into a trap with his allies.

“Hostiles!”

“Skeletons!”

Two colleagues who were on guard nearby announced the arrival of the enemy.

Jung Hun-young looked around again.

Then he sees the skeletons already surrounding them.

The number of the skulls with the black bones was seven, all holding knives made of bones coated in red blood.

Jung Hun-young shouted at the sight.

“Phew · · · · · · · · ·. ”

Team up!

I tried to shout it.

Phew!

If Kim Woo-jin, who was hiding in the ground, had not come behind him and cut his throat with the dagger in his hand, he would have been able to shout.

“Hustle!”

Jung Hun-young sighed.

[Addicted to blood poisoning.]

In Jung Hun-young's ears, he heard a terrifying notification.

However, Jeong Hyun-young had no time to care about the sound.

Puck!

Kim Woo-jin stabbed a hole in Jeong Hun-young's neck this time.

Fluffy!

Jung Hun-young collapsed.

“Kuaak!”

And Hiller Ilseong fell mortally wounded by two skeleton soldiers.

One of the Skeleton Soldiers turns to the other as if he no longer cares about Ilsung.

“Oh, oh! ”

“Brother!”

The remaining two stared in astonishment at the scene.

Uh, what do we do? ’

What, what? ’

When they looked at Kim Woo-jin, their eyes were filled with horror.

4.

The first thing the players who joined the Messiah Guild heard was advice.

“From now on, trust no one but the guild members. Especially in a dungeon. ”

Advice about trusting no one except colleagues of the Messiah Guild.

Most of the players in the world were the enemies of the Messiah Guild.

Kim Woo-jin handled only the most difficult things in the Messiah Guild.

In the process, I approached it with favor, but I experienced many times when I changed my face color and exposed my enemies in the dungeon.

Of course, Kim Woo-jin knew better than anyone how to deal with that class.

It was important to hit the back of his head before he was betrayed.

That's why Jeong Hyun-young and his group were dealt with first.

They had to be forcibly kind and vigilant to get Kim Woo-jin's back.

And now it's over.

Puck!

Jung Hun-young's last survivor is killed by the Skeleton Soldier's Blade.

[Skeleton Soldier has achieved 3 kills. All stats are increased by 9 percent with the Dominant effect of the battlefield.]

It knocked Kim Woo-jin's ear more clearly through the notification.

The moment he heard the notification, Kim Woo-jin approached the dead and met him in the eye.

[Anubis' eyes open.]

I began to read their memories with my dark-bitten eyes.

I started searching how they were trying to do themselves and what connections they had with the Skull Guild or whether they had with the Messiah Guild.

He also found out how they handled the funds they raised while committing illegal activities.

That was it.

Kim Woo-jin didn't have any special emotions in the process.

- We're supposed to keep him alive? They want to torture me. Khh! He must have suffered a lot.

- What a jerk. If I die betrayed, I won't be able to close my eyes.

- Better yet, I'm thinking about buying a watch this time.

Kim Woo-jin didn't have any special emotions even when he read about his plans to betray himself, knowing that he would be tortured by the Skull Guild.

It was the same when I met dead Jeong Hyun-young's eyes.

Kim Woo-jin didn't pay much attention to what he thought of himself.

- So Park Yong-wan will give you his bodyguard duty, and you'll give him 5 billion if you hit him on the back?

- Yes, sir.

- Only one player's back count is 5 billion a day.

- Is it low?

- I don't think so. I'm thankful for this.

- Thank you always, Mr. Kim Jae-hoon.

It was the only thing that caught Woojin Kim's attention.

‘Jae-hoon Kim.’

A colleague who had the name of the Messiah Guild appeared in his memory.

‘I finally have a tail that I can grab right now. ’

Kim Woo-jin raised his head.

Now, Kim Woo-jin returned to his usual gaze and started heading somewhere.

Soon, a Goblin hung from a tree in the footsteps of Kim Woojin.

Kim Woo-jin throws a slasher at the Goblin.

Puck!

The scepter cut the goblin's ribbon, barely hanging on.

[You defeated the hidden Goblin.]

[First Floor Dungeon has been cleared. Moving on to the second floor.]

Kim Woo-jin, he didn't want to stop hunting here.
