Kill the Hero

4.

A + Rank Dungeon is the stage for a chance at the highest item of Legendary rank.

But the only thing we can do to take that chance is get to the first floor.

The A + rank dungeon on the second floor or higher is completely different from the first floor.

I know the stage of opportunity, but no one can rush it, and I don't lack the recognition that my skills, courage, and ambition are already different.

Kim Woo-jin also acknowledged that part.

‘They're so talented. ’

Those who entered the dungeon with themselves to hunt the needle snake acknowledged that they were different talents.

‘Skilled people who will be able to find their own pace as much as you give them time. ’

I was embarrassed by the sudden appearance of Survival Quests, but I acknowledged I was skilled enough to find my own pace if I just gave him time.

So I gave them time.

‘I don't have to solve everything by myself, leaving such talented people behind. ’

He rested well and gave me no time to prepare for the attack on the second floor, as well as reclaiming Faith.

I gave it for five days, not one day.

For those five days, Kim Woo-jin and Lee Jina made no small effort.

“Attention!”

Ahn Young-jun, a two-metre jewelry man and a maritime guild player who listened to rescue signals and talked to 85 players, was the result of Kim Woo-jin's efforts.

“Almost all the survivors are here, so I'll let you know. ”

Ahn Young-jun said to those who gathered together.

“We're going to try the needle snake hunt first. Do you have any objections? ”

He says that, but his voice doesn't have a shred of willingness to say hello.

Furthermore, Around Ahn Young-jun, who was spitting, there were people tied with red shoulder bands just like him.

Everyone was tying up a sign to show everyone the same knot.

Fifty-six?

That's 56 people.

‘It will be more if we combine the hidden. ’

At least 56 of the 86 survivors were clearly shown to be in league with Ahn Young-jun, and were actually unilateral to what Ahn Young-jun said.

‘60 people · · · · · · · · worked harder than expected. Everyone seems to have a good plan since there's no turbulence. ’

It was as Kim Woo-jin thought.

The players who agreed to join him, including Ahn Young-jun, did not want to miss out on the Hojae that was coming.

Of course, they know that five days of peace from the first floor is not natural, unless they are fools.

However, it was clear that they did not have a better chance of going to the second floor with enough rest and planning for five days anyway.

“No objections, so I'll tell you what to watch out for. You just need to be careful. Do not interfere with our hunt. ”

Ahn Young-jun and his colleagues came out stronger to seize the opportunity more firmly.

“As soon as I interrupt, I will define and kill the enemy. ”

I'll kill you. That's all I'm saying.

‘You're talking to me. ’

It was a moment to reveal the willingness of the death penalty if it interfered with the hunt for the mysterious talents who might be here.

Then came a man in front of Kim Woo-jin.

He was a big, curly-haired black man.

He asked Kim Woo-jin a question in English.

“Do you understand what I'm saying? ”

Kim Woo-jin answered the question as if he was waiting.

“Good luck. ”

5.

Red hide, red bamboo that can only be seen in the dungeon, was wandering around the place like an ocean.

Shhh!

The entire body of a monster snake, 33 meters long and about a car thick enough to be swallowed by a single bite, was covered with thick red thorns like a hedgehog.

Needle snake.

He dares to emit a deadly blow that can't be beaten. He moves between the enemies.

Shhh?

Suddenly, his seductive movements stopped.

The stopped one started flapping his tongue.

Then the tip of my tongue began to feel that the needle snake had not been resting.

The round eyes of the needle snake turned lengthwise.

Before the battle, you turn into the eyes of an angry monster.

Kyaa!

And that anger spread throughout the body.

“Fire!”

At the same time, fireballs fly towards the needle snake.

Kuang!

The flying fireballs spit out an explosion that strikes the body of the needle snake.

It was clear evidence that magic, not just a ball of fire, was powerful magic.

The power also refused to compare with a simple fireball.

To put it into a parable, you get hit by a fireball.

Kyaa!

I expressed how powerful the ball of fire was with my screams.

That was the beginning.

“Fire!”

At the sound of Ahn Young-jun, a man of jewelry, who can be seen everywhere, once again, fireballs began to fly towards the needle snake.

“Fire!”

It was done three times over.

Three flying fireballs destroyed the needle snake and its red hide in an instant.

Champion!

I saw such a word come to mind.

However, no one expressed their joy when they saw the scene.

Rather, everyone who was watching the scene began to have eyes full of roses.

They risked their lives to hunt a needle snake.

I knew better than anyone that I couldn't catch it.

“Ready!”

Later, the people who were all over the place moved.

Bang!

The appearances were far too armed for perfection.

Their appearance, wrapped in armor, leather inside, and even a shield bigger than their own bodies, reminded me of a chariot.

Srr!

At that moment, the needle snake moves in the blazing fire.

Shaa!

The needle that spewed out the snake's unique sound narrowed the distance to the target with such fast movements that it did not fit into its body.

“Oh, oh! ”

The moment I surrounded the target, I wrapped the target around my body.

Phew!

And then he just blew up the target.

Like a child grabbing a bug with his hands and exploding it.

Those who looked around became dazed.

What is it? ’

Did you blow it up?

There were many cases, but the number of times I blew up with such a short fuse was because I did not think properly.

“Wake up! ”

At that time, Ahn Young-jun's voice rang out loud in the forest.

“Take your time! Get the wizards ready to cast! Fire!"

Immediately after the shout, arrows started flying from everywhere.

Pa!

The spiderweb-looking arrows stick to the body of the needle snake with a long thread attached to its tail.

And then I started to tie his body to the ground, to the trees.

“Fire!”

Meanwhile, once again, the fireballs embroidered the sky.

“It's moving.”

And some players start to move with a wooden barrel full of oil in their hands.

It was to allow oil to seep into the wounds or gaps in the body of the needle snake, causing more fatal damage.

It was a demonstration that they had prepared for clever combat beyond mere combat skills.

“They're gonna get us. ”

Lee Jina, who had seen the scene from afar, said in a slightly tense tone.

“Perfect tactics, perfect tactics. ”

Then one of the skeleton soldiers next to him replied.

“Tactics aren't perfect. ”

Lee Jin-ah gives a fat look to the skeleton soldier's voice.

“That's not perfect? ”

It couldn't have been more perfect for him.

While skillfully positioning tankers starting with the initial spread of firepower, using the abilities of silent hunters, the process of constraining the behavior of hunting and immediately entering additional attacks was so cool that even the dizzying top guilds couldn't be seen.

Kim Woo-jin gave me five days, so I also played as a team as much as possible.

Teamwork like that wasn't made just because it was shiny for a day or two.

“It's no big deal to be bluffing. Wrong tactic. You're not doing it, are you? ”

Because of this, Lee Jina thought that Kim Woo-jin was acting out.

Then the Skeleton Soldier asked him a question.

“What do you do when you see a monster for the first time? ”

“For the first time? Let's start with the jab. ”

“Is that a jab? ”

“Jab? ”

Then YiJina nods as if she understood.

Why Kim Woo-jin wrote that it was tactically wrong.

“If you don't have any certainty about the needle snake, it's most important to create an element of certainty. ”

The first thing to do against a needle snake that no one had ever caught was to measure the needle snake.

It was important to know how tough the leather was, how resistant it was to fire, how much movement it was, and how much it was able to resist.

“This isn't a game. ”

It was a story that only in the game would benefit from the use of powerful firepower during the Preliminary Games.

“The bigger problem is just beginning. ”

That's why it was more problematic going forward.

“Is there another problem? ”

“With no information about the needle snake, it might come out when the needle encounters the enemy. ”

“Blow up needles or spray fog poison like you said? ”

“You should be prepared for an attack. ”

The needle snake's bizarre attack was not a problem.

Rather, they would have prepared more meticulously than Kim Woo-jin thought.

“But there won't be a manual for when he escapes. ”

“Run away?”

It was then.

Kyaaa!

Lee Jina was startled and reacted as the needle snake burst into tears and started pounding.

“Back off!”

“Move!”

His struggle has left the area in disarray, and the players are pushed back to avoid getting caught up in the rubble.

“Huh?"

“Huh?"

As he struggled, the needle snake silenced the surrounding area and immediately carried out the next action.

“No, he's getting away! ”

He begins to leave the battlefield at a rapid pace.

You move away from the enemy at an incredible speed, even before the tankers respond.

In the blink of an eye, the image of the needle snake disappeared.

YiJina was surprised by that and said.

“You're really running away? ”

It wasn't just Eugenia who was surprised.

The players who fought in the battle in a fierce rage were also surprised by this sudden situation.

No, beyond the staggering levels, their accidents stopped.

“You're running, aren't you?”

“What do I do? Should I follow?”

“Orders?”

When the rumbling began to spread between them, the Skeleton Soldier said in a cold voice.

“You did what you shouldn't have done in front of the monsters. ”

“W-what is that? ”

“To show that he was embarrassed. ”

It was as Kim Woo-jin expected.

Kyaa?

The needle that ran away without looking back questioned the fact that there was no trace, and turned its gaze to where it was.

The impression of the players who were bewildered by the needle snake's sudden movements touched the needle snake's senses.

Of course, the needle snake did not properly understand or interpret what the players said, their behavior or their gestures.

It just instinctively feels like they're embarrassed right now.

Of course, the needle snake rushes towards the weakened prey.

Even the needle snake was clever.

Sii!

He remembers the location of those who threw fireballs at him, and runs with all his might toward it.

In that sudden situation, a proper response was impossible.

“No, I'm going to the Wizard! ”

“Don't, stop! ”

The tankers tried to stop the needle with their bodies, but their actions focused solely on their defensiveness were slowed.

“Run!”

The wizards were also trying to figure out the situation and escape, but it was virtually impossible for them to escape from the needle snake who lacked the stamina.

Kyaaa!

Swinging my spiny body like a whip, the needle began to sweep away the players.

“Kuaak!”

“Ugh!”

Screams and deaths began spreading everywhere.

“Everyone, get in line! ”

It awakened the players' survival instincts.

“You expected this much damage! ”

These are the people who came here with their deaths in their heart.

Instead of wandering around in first-floor dungeons, they are qualified to digest the first-floor dungeons perfectly and challenge the second-floor dungeons.

For such people, this scene was much more familiar now.

“Move in front of the tankers and buy some time! Wizards to safety, hillers to safety! ”

Players regroup as they take damage.

It turned a one-sided massacre into another battle for repairs.

Kyaa!

After some time, the opposition phase once again unfolded.

Hrrrrrrr!

“Fire!”

And once again, in the opposite phase, the fireballs began to embroider the sky.

But this time, the needle snake also tried to counterattack.

Shhh!

Under the spilling fireball, the needle snake clammed its mouth tightly.

Then his body starts to swell up like a balloon.

The players who saw the scene shouted.

“It's gonna blow!”

The needle snake screamed with its body.

Phew!

Needles embedded in the body of the needle swept through the area with a massive storm.

But surprisingly, the damage was not great.

“Ugh · · · · · · · I knew this would happen, but I never imagined..”

Somewhat anticipated and prepared

So the atmosphere was reversed.

The players were confident that the situation had passed as expected, although the damage had been done.

“He's out of needles! ”

“All you have to do is attack! ”

Above all, the needle snake was no longer the monster they thought it was.

Shaa!

Players gain confidence in the weakened figure, and some of them narrow their distance from the golden needle snake.

“I'll peel his skin off and use it as my wallet. ”

“If we catch them, they'll be the first to catch them, so they'll be sold at a high price. ”

First, I wanted to be the one to put a knife in the body of the needle snake, and I burned such curiosity.

“Yuck!”

One of the dogs suddenly started nauseous.

“Oh, oh, oh! ”

Starting with him, players who were close to the needle began to whip one by one.

It was not difficult to understand why.

[Poisoned by Needle Snake.]

I was so kind as to hear a notification.

“Fig., poison. ”

The hole left behind by the thorns, the venom from the needle snake, begins to bite around it.

Even the poison was odorless, colorless.

There was only one thing a player could do in front of a colorless poison.

“Back off!”

“Go back! ”

Falling back to a place where the poison can't reach you.

But even then, it wasn't easy.

“Yuck!”

“Shit, go further back! ”

The influence of the needle snake's venom was wider than the players thought.

No, it was expanding.

It's as if water is continuing to flow from a non-drying spring.

Lee Jin-ah, who was watching the scene, put out his tongue.

“What's the range? Even if you're an A + rank boss monster, that's enough! This is not a magazine! ”

The Skeleton Soldier did not answer that question.

It just burns the eyes with golden light.

6.

‘Poison.’

The eye of Kim Woo-jin, who was looking through the Skeleton Disease wearing the Grim Reaper's mask, saw a needle spreading poison gas.

That was it.

Kim Woo-jin didn't give it much meaning because it was expected. There was no change in his face. The eyes didn't change much either.

‘Now that the veil is exposed, it's time to reveal what you've hidden. ’

It was at that moment that the scope of the poison exceeded his anticipated criteria that Kim Woo-jin's expression began to change.

At that moment, Kim Woo-jin changed his eyes.

[Horus' eyes open.]

[Connecting with Skeleton Soldier. Increases Magical Power Consumption significantly.]

You used Horus' Eye Skill, and the Skeleton Soldier's Eye is also starting to turn golden.

Soon, I could see Kim Woo-jin.

[Woman of Huanglongs]

- Item Rank: Legendary

- Available from Lv. 1 and higher.

- Item Description: This is the female owner Huanglongs had. Powerful magical power.

- Magic Power +50 on Ownership

- Magic Power Recovery Speed +200 percent when owned

‘A + rank for a reason. ’

A rare thing that gives a powerful power to the needle snake from the neck of the needle snake.

The moment I checked it, Kim Woo-jin no longer looked at the needle snake.

Kim Woo-jin got up from his seat.

You see a pile of dead bodies, twelve skeleton soldiers holding bows in front of them.

Kim Woo-jin, who was in the middle of the view, said.

“Place the body. ”

I immediately heard the answer.

- Damn it, you think I came here to bury a dead body? Yeah? Yeah.

Kim Woo-jin said briefly in his complaint.

“Change roles with me if you don't want to. ”

- My childhood dream was to be an undertaker professional, and now my wish has come true. I'll work hard.

Kim Woo-jin, he started hunting Needle Snakes.
