Kill the Hero

1.

Numbers are very important in battle, and the difference between 9 and 13 can make the tactics as well as the landscape itself completely different.

Of course, Kim Woo-jin actively took advantage of the difference.

“Do they shoot bows? ”

Four more Skeleton Soldiers were converted into archers, and they changed tactics naturally.

“Now we go in first. ”

You dug a trap and chose to go hunting instead of luring monsters.

With the firepower secured, I wanted to use it generously.

“Yeah, that's it. ”

YiJina welcomed the fact.

“That's what fighting is all about. Of course.”

If you find a monster like a beast, it's not the right way for him to attack and destroy it.

“I'll show you what a monster butcher Lee Jina looks like! ”

His mask, written by Jina, his eyes start to burn with life and determination.

“Huh?"

But the flame didn't last long.

“Why are you suddenly with me? ”

Lee Jina suddenly looked surprised when she saw Kim Woo-jin approaching her.

Kim Woo-jin stood in front of Lee Jin-ah and said.

“I'm in the lead now. ”

Kim Woo-jin, who had been in charge of the war from behind, was now a moment in front.

Lee Jin-ah smiled bloody.

“You'd better do your best. I don't know about anything else, but I can't stand the sight of an absurd man breathing down my throat. ”

2.

“Huff, huff. ”

A man sighs in the center of the battlefield, when the corpse of thirty cobalt is broken.

Such a man's eyes exceeded the tired tone, and there was a desperate need for rest.

The desperate man looked at the man who was barely keeping his life in his sights and said, looking at the man who confirmed Cobalt.

“Hey · · · · · · · · · No, hey. ”

I said it out of respect.

“Can we take a break? ”

Kim Woo-jin did not respond to Lee Jina's request.

Instead, a skeleton on the foothills approached him and shook his head.

Yeah, no.

In response from the Skeleton Disease, she closed her eyes tightly.

Kim Woo-jin passed over the two tightly closed eyes.

‘Fuck you. ’

Kim Woo-jin's battle of recollection was beyond common sense.

To be honest, Lee Jina thought that if she fought Kim Woo-jin one-on-one without a Skeleton Soldier, she could win.

It wasn't vague confidence.

It was obvious that he lost the battle with Woojin Kim, but it was only because he had no reason to fight for his life that he declared defeat, and the situation would have been completely different if he was prepared to die.

Because the angle of death for Lee Jina was different from the level of death for ordinary players.

‘Crazy monster. ’

However, the battle of Kim Woo-jin was so brutal that even the death of Lee Jin-ah was crushed.

It was that great.

"Aren't you the one who regretted killing this monster? How does a man below level 30 fight like that? ’

First, it was very efficient.

In fact, combat was a very inefficient task.

The energy consumption in the process of two people being repaired to cause fatal injuries to each other was enormous compared to a short distance run.

However, Kim Woo-jin did not have such a process to be cured.

It's just a one-sided wound and a fall.

‘The view is different from mine. ’

It was possible that Kim Woo-jin could see the whole thing.

Instead of catching monsters in front of him like RPG games, he looked at the big picture and turned the landscape in his favour.

‘That's how I should fight. ’

From Lee Jin-ah's perspective, it was not just a surprise, but a way to see and learn.

That was also why Kim Woo-jin was battling Lee Jin-ah.

‘If I know an immortal, he'll refer to my fighting style. ’

Kim Woo-jin knew.

She's looking at herself right now.

So I showed him properly.

‘And I'm going to digest it somewhat. ’

Watch and learn.

‘It'll be worth it after a while. ’

In other words, Lee Jin-ah's ability was not yet useful in Kim Woo-jin's standards.

It was natural.

It was Kim Woo-jin who had survived until the end of the century, after all the things that the players had experienced.

If there are many talented people who can see through his standards, it's a strange work place.

And I was happy for Kim Woo-jin.

‘No, it better be worth it. ’

But things are different now.

‘There is no Johann Gerorg anymore. ’

Kim Woo-jin was confident with the support of the candidate today.

Now Johann Gerorg cannot be favored as he remembered.

It wasn't like Kim Woo-jin had created a stumbling block in Johann Gerorg's growth.

In the case of the Flush Ring or Legendary skills, they were passed on to Johann Gerorg after 2025.

In other words, it was not a factor that affected Johann Gerorg's growth right now.

However, the favoritism of the light will act as a lethal factor in Johann Gerorg's growth right now.

And the absence of Johann Gerorg will be the best advantage for the Messiah Guild.

‘Without Johann Gerorg, the influence of the Messiah Guild after the war against Japan in 2025 will spread much faster than I have experienced. ’

In fact, since 2025, Kim Woo-jin has remembered that the worst enemy of the Messiah Guild has been the immortal king.

As the Messiah Guild became brighter, those who wanted to avoid the light gathered under the shadow of the Immortal King.

‘Exposing your ambition will go a lot faster. ’

It meant that the day the Messiah guild threw off the mask was shorter, and that the time given to Kim Woo-jin was shorter as well.

‘Se-jun, you'll take that damn mask off much earlier. ’

It also meant that Kim Woo-jin's time with Lee Se-joon was shorter.

‘The sea I wanted. ’

Of course, Kim Woo-jin was satisfied with the situation.

Kim Woo-jin moved.

“Oh, fuck. All right, let's do it once and for all. ”

And Lee Jina followed that Kim Woo-jin.

3.

[You have 24 hours to attack the dungeon.]

You have been notified of the day 5 of entering the dungeon.

[Level has increased.]

[You have reached level 30. Increases inventory by 6 slots]

[Delegates in the dark world are moved by your growth. Increases inventory by 6 slots]

[A representative from the dark world sends you a catalog of your growth as a gift.]

At the same time, there was a notification that Kim Woo-jin had reached level 30.

‘That's all there is to hunt on the first floor. ’

Kim Woo-jin looked around.

Lee Jina was tired among more than twenty-nine Orc corpses and Skeleton Soldiers.

“Phew, phew, phew! ”

Lee Jin-ah looked like a bomb about to explode.

It explodes as soon as I touch it, and it explodes as soon as I let it.

Trembling!

A skeleton soldier approached Lee Jin-ah.

In the appearance of the Skeleton Soldier, I stared at the Skeleton Soldier with a fierce look that I can't find even the slightest reason.

At that moment, the Skeleton Soldier opened his mouth.

“Time for dinner.”

“Where should I spread my mat? ”

She smiles brightly at the spell and starts looking for a place to eat.

In the meantime, Kim Woo-jin examined his abilities.

[Kim Woo-jin]

- Level: 30

- Lighting: proxy for the dark world

- Ability: HP (92 +123)/Energy (2 +65)/Magic Power (3 +95)

- Achievements: 18

- Extra Points: 3

If other players had seen it, it was a questionable ability in my eyes.

‘This should be enough to clear a level 50 D rank dungeon. ’

It was a stat worth comparing to players of at least level 40.

‘Not enough. ’

However, it was still an infinitely lacking stat for Kim Woo-jin.

He was more of a monster than any monster to hunt.

‘I'm going to do everything I can. ’

Kim Woo-jin's gaze naturally directed towards Lee Jin-ah.

Lee Jina glanced at him, eating a chocolate bar among the skeleton soldiers.

“Huh?"

Lee Jin-ah, who was eating the chocolate bar, started shaking the chocolate bar towards the Skeleton Soldier.

“Do you want to eat? Huh? Give me your hand if you want to eat. ”

Of course, Lee Jina thought the Skeleton Soldier would not accept that ridiculous prank.

Trembling!

“Huh?"

At that time, the Skeleton Soldier comes in front of Lee Jin-ah, like a trained pet, and extends his hand in front of him.

“Oh, my God! Did you see that? She's opening up to me right now! ”

YiJina was surprised and placed the chocolate bar she had eaten in the Skeleton Soldier's hand.

Then I was moved and said in a wet voice.

“Khh! It's also true that there is communication between brothers-in-arms." ”

The Skeleton Soldier immediately delivered it to Kim Woo-jin nearby.

“What?”

I took off the mask of the Grim Reaper that Kim Woo-jin wore for a while and received a chocolate bar.

She yells at him.

“Are you manipulating a skeleton? ”

Kim Woo-jin ate a chocolate bar instead of answering the question.

Among other things, he said as if the answer was absurd.

“So is the washed-up brother, and he's just a freak in a weird way. If you like it for free, you'll go bald. Oh, he's already bald. Anyway, there's nothing wrong with what your ancestors said. Take care of yourself. ”

Kim Woo-jin thought.

‘Bald head · · · · · · · · · ·. ’

The first time he got information about his identity, Kim Woo-jin, of course, began to think about the bald ones he had met in his head.

“What are you going to do about it? ”

At that moment, she asked a sudden question.

“Needle hunting. ”

Lee Jin-ah's talking face was serious.

“It's the second floor from tomorrow, right? ”

I had to be nervous to catch a monster that no one had ever caught before, to be honest with you.

No, I wasn't nervous enough.

“Do you have a plan? ”

If it wasn't Kim Woo-jin, Lee Jina wouldn't have sent him to this dungeon if she wanted to.

Kim Woo-jin is practically a lifeline for Lee Jin-ah.

In that question, Kim Woo-jin recalled information about the needle snake once again in his mind.

Then in his head was a giant snake, 30 meters long, covered with needle thorns like a hedgehog.

‘He's not easy. ’

The needle snake was unusual in its appearance.

‘And poisoned. ’

Above all, it was not just a snake, it was a poisonous snake.

It's also quite poisonous, so it's not even easy for those who haven't prepared themselves for the poison.

‘As soon as the needle bursts, the whole area is utterly destroyed. ’

Even a needle snake had the ability to detonate such a poisonous needle like a grenade shell.

It was an ability to be used only once when I was at risk, but I had already refused to compare it to other monsters just because I had that ability.

‘This is as far as anyone can predict. ’

Of course, most of the people who came here to catch the needle snake guessed and prepared for that.

It's about catching monsters that no one has ever caught before.

It is natural to infer the number of cases that can be inferred by the name of a monster.

“My guess is that the needle is more likely to explode like a grenade. There must be poison on the tip of the needle. ”

Lee Jin-ah also anticipated that and prepared accordingly.

Of course, other players have prepared for that.

In other words, the failure of all players to hunt the needle snake has meant that there is something more troubling than that.

“Poison fumes may flow from the body. ”

“Acting?”

“That's what they'll call the snake of death. ”

Poisonous poison.

That was the real weapon of the needle snake.

“If it is covered with a needle and there is poison on the tip of the needle, the poison is likely to come out of the body. ”

“That's right."

“So what happens to poison if the needle disappears? ”

“Coming out of your body is going to be a problem. ”

Lee Jin-ah's expression was stiff.

“Poison gas is worth catching. ”

I started to suffer with a stiff expression.

But Kim Woo-jin didn't really care about that.

‘But that's not the only way to become an A + rank. ’

What he was concerned about was that the dungeon could not have become an A + rank due to the difficulty of the needle snake hunting.

If it had been an A + rank because of the needle snake, all the dungeons that had appeared would have become an A + rank.

But among the dungeons where the needle snake appeared was a B + rank dungeon.

The strength of the needle snake, no matter how high it is, meant that it was a B + rank.

‘There are other reasons. ’

It also meant that there was something that made this place an A + rank.

Above all, Kim Woo-jin knew.

If you don't get Legendary in an A + rank dungeon, it's not that you don't have it, it's that you haven't found it. ’

The A + rank clearly shows that there is an item or skill page with a legendary rank.

That's what Kim Woo-jin was after.

“So what's the plan? ”

Of course I prepared for it.

“That's how you've been killing monsters so far. ”

“What?"

Beep, beep!

At that moment, I began to hear the sound of a flute calling for help from everywhere, as if it were a promise.

“Call for help? ”

In response, she was surprised.

“Come now? ”

Players who have survived up to day 5 are actually all those who have survived here.

It was unlikely that such a rescue request would be made on day 5, and that there would be such a simultaneous rescue request.

In fact, they didn't have to call it a crisis.

“That's how we wiped out the monsters? ”

Kim Woo-jin and Lee Jin-ah literally wiped out the monsters.

At least there was zero chance of a distress call being made around here.

“This is not a rescue request. ”

“Huh?"

Of course it wasn't a rescue request.

“Then what is it? ”

“The sound of gathering players to determine the order of the needle snake hunt before going to the second floor. ”

He said that, and he laughed in vain.

“No, you set a course for catching the monster? Not all of them together? Confidence in the sky, prick. ”

After saying that he would catch a needle snake that no one had ever caught before, he laughed at the crowd.

But Kim Woo-jin didn't smile.

“I gave you five days of rest, and you need to be confident. ”

“You gave me a break? ”

Then Lee Jina realized what Kim Woo-jin had done.

“Stop, really? ”

Kim Woo-jin didn't answer him in detail.

‘Now we just need to check the catalog. ’

I'm just preparing for a war that starts tomorrow.

“Catalog.”

“Catalogue? Golden?”

< 17.00. Needle (1). > End
