Kill the Hero

4.

It was a week after Kim Woo-jin left the dungeon after finishing his battle with Kim Jae-hoon and Yang Ji-hoo.

In the meantime, the world has remained the same, with nothing special going on.

Monsters appeared in the Democratic Republic of Congo, causing Cobalt to rise, terrorist players to terrorize in France causing casualties, and displaced refugees in Eastern Europe were displaced by riots that were calling for protection from monsters.

It happened, but those stories were no longer unique anywhere in the world.

“The world is quiet these days. ”

That's why Lee Jin-ah came to the secret office at lunch, lunch, and lunch.

I looked at him with such cold eyes.

In his gaze, she tilted her head.

“Did I do something wrong? ”

At that moment, Lee Jin-ah looked at the line pot that was just soup, if it was between her and lunch.

“You're not looking at me that way because I eat ramen, are you? ”

Lee Jina's expression was crumpled as she spoke.

“Damn, I'm not eating any meatloaf, if I have to. There's only 10 of them in there! ”

He said as if there was no such thing as a misunderstanding on the harsh shore.

“Hey, do you think I'm just doing this for ramen? ”

In response, YiJina also hesitated a little.

“Yes.”

“This is crazy.”

“So it's not? ”

Lee Jin-ah repeatedly replied with a small voice.

“I don't think so. ”

“Shit, that's it! ”

“But that's not all. ”

Ozechan, who was speaking, stroked his head and said.

“The world may seem really peaceful and beautiful to you, but it doesn't look like shit to me. ”

“What's going on? ”

“I abandoned Kim Jae-hoon. ”

“Yes?”

That was unexpected.

Lee Jina also knew what Kim Jae-hoon meant at this point.

“What does that mean? ”

She was surprised and asked again.

“The shark took the bait to catch the big fish. What can I do? I'm gonna have to cut the line quick. ”

Odessan, who was speaking, coldly said with a stiff expression.

“We're running out of time. Two years, three long years. If there's not a force in there to fend them off, then they will proactively reveal their ambitions. And the moment of ambition is actually the end of the game. No. If they show ambition, the game won't end. ”

Lee Jina's face was stiff, too.

And he said to him, "Oh Se-chan.

“So let's hunt this horned fox properly. This is going to change our plans for the future. ”

“Just trust me. Who am I?”

“Who's the insect cub? ”

“Oh, really! Brother! This is all about saving up energy to fight hard, isn't it? ”

“Cut the crap, and there's two things you need to do. ”

Oh Se Chan stretched his two fingers, ignoring Lee Jin-ah.

“One is to support Kim Woo-jin properly. And the other is to make sure that Kim Woo-jin is good. ”

“Skill check? ”

“Yes."

“It's been confirmed, hasn't it? ”

He asked again and said decisively.

“No, I don't think Kim Woo-jin has shown half his real skills yet. ”

“Yes?”

In front of Lee Jin-ah who was surprised, Oh Se Chan continued.

“And in this horned fox hunt, Kim Woo-jin will reveal almost 100% of his skills. I'm gonna do a real talent show. ”

I thought, "Oh Se-cchan, I'm talking."

‘It's not time for me to look at my liver anymore. It's time to collect what you've collected. ’

In his head, Kim Woo-jin came to mind.

‘We have to make Isaac Ivanov the anti-horse of the Messiah. ’

He thought about it, and he smiled bitterly.

‘You must be sorry for Kim Woo-jin. I became a scapegoat to stop the Messiah Guild. ’

It was a bitter smile on my apology for Kim Woo-jin.

I thought of misfortune as much as that bitter smile.

‘I'm sorry, but I have to do everything I can to help. ’

It was a memory before returning to the past.

The corpse of a fallen horned fox in bloodshed, Kim Woo-jin, who was scarred enough to make the corpse of a horned fox feel clean in front of him, was offered to a woman wearing a golden armor.

“Did you say Kim Woo-jin? I've heard rumors, but you're better than they say. How about joining the Messiah Guild? ”

You have been asked to join a guild from the Messiah Guild.

Kim Woo-jin replied to the offer.

“If you want to tell a story, don't be shy. The chief will come and tell you himself. ”

Bring in the head of the Messiah Guild. Of course it was an expression of rejection.

At that time, Kim Woo-jin thought that he and the Messiah Guild would never be connected.

But he didn't accept it.

When he made the second offer, Lee Se-jun came to Kim Woo-jin himself and offered it to him.

“Hunting dog Kim Woo-jin, I need your strength. ”

That was all I could remember.

Whoo-hoo!

Kim Woo-jin's smartphone trembled to let him know that the text had arrived, and Kim Woo-jin naturally opened his eyes.

Kim Woo-jin immediately checked the text.

[July 7, date confirmed]

Kim Woo-jin once again closed his eyes to the text.

Whoo-hoo!

Then the text arrived again.

[Be Good]

Kim Woo-jin did not show much change in his expression in the text.

Instead of changing his face, I looked in front of him.

Armor made of needle snake hide that does not fit in size or shape for Kim Woo-jin.

Those armor were telling me instead of Kim Woo-jin.

I'm ready to show you how good you are.

[Horned Fox Hunting]

- Dungeon Floors: 2nd Floor

- Dungeon Difficulty: A

- Max entries: 40

- Entry Requirement: Level 40 or lower

- Prerequisite: Find the Horned Fox. And hunt.

- Attack Reward: Gives Achievements and Catalogues to Horned Fox Hunters

Horned Fox Dungeon.

A cemetery buried by close to 500 players after 12 unsuccessful attacks.

Such cemeteries were currently managed by the guild of the Messiah.

Given the value of the horned fox's horn, it was a privilege, but I couldn't defend myself from other guilds.

Every guild except the Messiah Guild abandons a dungeon attack even if it fails twice.

You play in the press that you have to enter a dungeon that failed twelve times to get the horn of a horned fox?

I can't think of anything better to swear at.

That's why the other guilds actually don't claim rights to the Horned Fox Dungeon.

It was impossible for Isaac Ivanov to enter such a horned fox dungeon without the permission of the Messiah Guild.

Of course, there must be a reason behind such permission.

There was no need to think about why.

‘You want to see what I'm good at, I guess. ’

To put it simply, it was a test.

The Messiah Guild intended to test the player Isaac Ivanov, who showed them a friendly gesture.

What conditions should be presented if they are worth recruiting or if they want to recruit.

‘You may want to clear the dungeon. ’

Of course, there was also a need to invite a skilled person to clear the dungeon separately.

This dungeon has failed twelve times.

Evidence that the dungeon difficulty was so difficult that many people died even though their skills and configuration were unusual, even when they were attacked by horned foxes.

Honestly, I needed to recruit the right talent, not just an outsider, but a foreigner to clear.

‘Kim Woo-jin would have been impossible. ’

In that sense, Isaac Ivanov was the best player.

Favorable to the Messiah Guild, high profile, and, above all, only two party members.

I didn't have to leave much room to bring him in. A good number to put in when you have a break, rather than deliberately leaving your seat.

I felt like I had created a custom spec to enter this dungeon.

"Oh, that's fantastic. ’

No, actually, all of this was a custom design for a misunderstanding.

“Attacking the dungeon comes first. Respond unconditionally to rescue requests. Failure to do so will result in penalties. On the contrary, call for rescue at dangerous times. ”

It was only because of the lunch that I was able to hear the description in Russian from the staff of the Dungeon Management Team of the Messiah Guild in front of me.

“The Messiah Guild takes dungeon clearance first. Believe that, and remember: ”

Kim Woo-jin nodded his head when he heard the explanation.

“Then I shall enter the dungeon. ”

To that Kim Woo-jin, a member of the Messiah Guild prayed.

“Isaac Ivanov, I sincerely pray that the Messiah Guild returns alive. ”

[Survive for 5 days]

As soon as I entered the dungeon, I tapped on the ears of 40 players who entered the quest conditions notification.

Players, however, paid more attention to other facts than that.

“It's cold. ”

“It's pretty cold, too. ”

I focused on the fact that the cold is a forest that is sensitive enough to break the level of cold where they are.

“Trouble. ”

“I've been warming up, but it's · · · · · · too cold? I'm gonna go 10 degrees below zero. ”

“Even the wind blows hard. ”

And I was nervous.

Lee Jina also said to Kim Woo-jin with her eyes.

This is gonna be a lot more dangerous than I thought.

I expressed the tension I felt by giving me eyes with such meaning.

An experienced, knowledgeable player deserves a reaction.

‘The cold is much stronger than monsters. ’

The cold was more frightening than I thought.

First, there was a risk of verbs. Players' physical abilities were very good, but they were not able to overcome the cold completely.

“Start with the weak players and get the right warm-up supplies! ”

“Wizards and priests, take care of yourself! ”

Moreover, players who invested in non-physical strength or magical strength could not be seen as exceptional compared to ordinary people.

“Keep in mind. Condition management is paramount. If you go upstairs sick, you're gonna die! ”

“There's no time for conditioning. We're all going to the second floor in one batch in five days! ”

However, this was the first floor, and it was also a precaution to go to the second floor without properly managing the condition.

“Should I start a fire? ”

“Let's just wait and see. If you start a fire for no reason and the monsters come at you, you'll be in even more trouble. ”

Critically, while fighting the cold, they had to face the monsters' recurring attacks.

“Twelve unsuccessful attempts. ”

It means preparing for the worst battle on the worst stage.

Then Kim Woo-jin sent a signal to Lee Jin-ah.

It's moving!

The two who received the signal moved.

Everyone walks through a cluttered gap and the two of them quietly leave the herd.

When he was so far away from the herd, Lee Jina said to Kim Woo-jin, checking that there was no one around.

“You gonna be okay?"

Lee Jina, who speaks, is still not relaxed.

“Wouldn't you rather move in with them first? In these environments, things move quickly. ”

It was because I knew the fear of the cold.

Kim Woo-jin asked for Lee Jin-ah who was shy in many ways.

“Can't you fight when it's cold? ”

“What nonsense! ”

Of course, YiJina shouted in a loud voice.

“My nickname was the bear of Siberia! You're freezing me to death! Of course, it's perfect to get cold even if you sweat! Hahaha!”

Kim Woo-jin replied with a smile.

“Good for you.”

“What?"

“Today's gonna be a lot harder than the needle. ”

“Bars, needles? ”

“Yes."

‘If you want to see what I can do, I'll show you. ’

Kim Woo-jin wore the items he had prepared, one by one.

[Attach the flush ring. Increases all skill ranks by one level.]

[Equip Gawain's Necklace. I feel warm in the cold.]

[Install the Mask of the Grim Reaper. You can access the summoned monster.]

I made my intention to reveal my power here today.

Lee Jin-ah cautiously said.

“Let me just eat on time. ”
