Kill the Hero

4.

Glenn Park, San Francisco.

A large, concrete cubic building lined up with rural houses reveals its presence.

In addition, armed soldiers filled the area around the concrete architecture were making the architecture more intense.

Of course, the most intense thing that made that concrete architecture was the dents that existed in it, the dungeon gates.

Then a man reaches for the dungeon gate.

Then the window opened in front of the man's eyes.

[Forest of the Dead]

- Dungeon floor: 3rd floor

- Dungeon Difficulty: A + Rank

- Maximum entries: 199

- Entry Requirement: Level 81 or lower

- Prerequisite: Kill the Master of the Dead!

- Attack Reward: Skilled Stone (A)

The man who checked the quest window immediately took his hand out of the dungeon gate and told his colleague beside him.

“Dungeon information check, clear. ”

Immediately next to him, he reached out to the Dungeon Gate and said after looking at the same quest window.

“Clear. ”

It was not just their identity, but the dungeon administrators.

People who check the dungeon gates for any unauthorized intruders or changes in the dungeon status.

It wasn't great.

Players can access the dungeon quest information at any time by touching the dungeon gate. If there is an illegal intruder, they can reach into the dungeon gate without gaining any information and cannot enter the dungeon.

It was enough to check if the water was cold or hot.

“Phew.”

And frankly, it didn't have to be checked that often.

How much more than a simple administration like this one now, where the building is built and protected, once a day was enough.

“No, I don't want you to check hourly. I've been building buildings like this to protect them. ”

This was why Adams, the manager who abandoned the dungeon attack and managed the dungeon with player abilities, complained.

In his complaint, his colleague Haidt said a few words.

“What can I say? The case has grown so big. ”

In the minds of the two conversations, one incident struck the world recently.

Even the Americans failed to invade the Forest of the Dungeons!

The Great One Guild has placed a prize on the dungeon raid.

“A product is a legend. ”

Items of Legendary rank are no different.

“It's not just the Legendary. King Arthur's Ring, right?”

Moreover, it was not just such a legendary item, but just listening to it put its value on an unusual item, King Arthur's ring, as a target product.

“This is absurd. ”

It was an ambassador I could never find before, and the world was surprised in front of the ambassador.

Naturally, everyone's attention was focused on the Dead Man's Forest Dungeon, which is why they now check the dungeon hourly.

Players who have been staging third-floor dungeons around the world for this dungeon raid will gather to greet them sooner or later, if there is a problem, it will hurt America's pride once again.

Of course, people were also curious about this situation.

“But why would the Great One Guild be stupid enough to put that on a prize? ”

Why would the Great One Guild do this?

Is it worthwhile to raid the Forest of the Dead by hanging the ring they already have?

“Are you sure you want to attack the Forest of the Dead dungeon like the Great One Guild said? ”

In response, the Great One Guild only gave a theoretical answer that it could do anything to attack the dungeon.

“Can you believe that? ”

Of course, no one believed what he said.

“There must be another reason. ”

Because people still asked questions.

What is the goal of the Great One Guild?

“Taunt?”

In Lee Jina's words, Kim Woo-jin nodded instead of answering.

“So it's not because of any great purpose or prejudice that we've done this, but because we're going to have this product, we're fucking awesome, we don't have this in your house, we're trying to provoke you like this? ”

Kim Woo-jin nodded once more at Lee Jin-ah's question.

In response to something, she said.

“So they treated you like shit? ”

The straightforward words that popped out so suddenly, the listener could be frowned upon.

However, Kim Woo-jin nodded without making any changes.

It was because there was nothing wrong with what she said.

‘You're not wrong to fuck with me. ’

If the Great One Guild thought Isaac Ivanov was a dangerous competitor, they would never have made this bet.

‘But you wouldn't underestimate me. ’

However, Kim Woo-jin did not think that the Great One Guild underestimated him.

I couldn't.

‘You never know what I'm capable of. ’

Isaac Ivanov showed everyone his skills against the Golden Lion on his debut.

And there was the Great One guild, and that's where this started.

In that situation, if the Great One didn't know Isaac Ivanov's skill, it wouldn't even be possible for the Great One Guild to be here right now.

‘The Great One Guild is a group that seeks Jill. It's not a group that underestimates their enemies. ’

Above all, the Great One Guild Kim Woo-jin knew was a dense group.

‘Rather, I will evaluate Isaac Ivanov beyond what I have shown you. ’

It's no big deal that Isaac Ivanov showed me. He was lucky. A group that's more precise than he showed me with something hidden in mind, rather than devaluing it for the same ridiculous reason.

Nevertheless, if they came out this way, there was only one reason.

‘There's something great about it. ’

holding a hand that cannot be beaten.

“Well, the members are spectacular. Ellis is the third lowest level player of the year, right? I'm sure she'll be confident if she goes in like that. ”

One of those hands was Elise Highton, whom she just spoke of.

‘Elise Highton, a worthy successor to Trinity. ’

She was definitely capable of acknowledging Kim Woo-jin.

‘I'm worried about her. ’

But Kim Woo-jin saw that her combat abilities were no better than Isaac Ivanov's.

In other words, it was never possible to bet that it was King Arthur's ring believing only in her.

‘Even if you give her King Arthur's ring. ’

Even if the Great One Guild were to give King Arthur's ring to Elise Heiton, Kim Woo-jin didn't think it could be such a hot bet.

‘Only Isaac Ivanov can do that. ’

Isaac Ivanov's name would be worth more than that, of course, but this round wasn't just Isaac Ivanov's.

"It's hard to overpower the Messiah Guild and other competitors. ’

If Isaac Ivanov joins the Messiah Guild, that is still not enough.

‘Nevertheless, if you have placed a bet, it means there is one more here. ’

Of course, Kim Woo-jin knows.

There must be a good reason for the Great One Guild's betting background.

‘There is something. ’

That's why Kim Woo-jin was nervous.

‘This dungeon is not going to be easy. ’

Like the Great One Guild, he did not underestimate what his enemies had.

“But what have you been looking at? ”

That's why Kim Woo-jin was prepared.

“I'm working on a shopping list. ”

“Shopping list? ”

“I think I need to invest a little more in this dungeon raid. We've doubled the number of skeletons we need to summon. ”

At that, she was surprised and said.

“Ha! You're spending money at last. ”

At this point, Kim Woo-jin tilted his head.

“Spend my money? ”

“Huh?"

In response, Lee Jina tilted her head.

“No, you said you were shopping. Then we'll spend the money. Isn't that shopping? ”

Kim Woo-jin said that question.

“I said I was making a shopping list. ”

“What?"

At that moment, she screamed as if she had realized something.

“Is it Park Yong-wan? ”

Kim Woo-jin didn't answer his name, and Lee Jin-ah said with her tongue.

“You suck real bone marrow, suck it. ”

Lee Jina pitied Park Yong-wan for the first time in Kim Woo-jin's image of wanting to eat again from Park Yong-wan.

“Poor Park Yong-wan. He must have sold out his country in his past life. Otherwise, you wouldn't be bitten by this sick son of a bitch. ”

Kim Woo-jin still did not react to what Lee Jin-ah said.

‘If you taunt me like this, I can't let you go. ’

There was only one thing Kim Woo-jin could see at this moment.

‘I definitely trample it somehow. ’

Establishing a sequence.

The day of battle has come.

November 19, 2023.

The world was still full of monsters and dungeon gates and the chaos and chaos created by the players, but the attention of the people of the world was only focused on one place.

[San Francisco Enters Battle Day!]

[The Forest of the Dead ends in that nightmare!]

In San Francisco, the attention of everyone in the world was focused on the Forest of the Dead dungeon located there.

I was looking forward to the attention.

- The prize is King Arthur's ring. That's fantastic.

- Who's gonna clear it?

- I want the Messiah to do it.

What are you talking about? The Great One Guild will be cleared of course.

Who will be the legendary owner of King Arthur's Ring to know that the value of his name is not unusual?

The media and public opinion expressed more excitement and excitement than ever.

However, the mood of the players who participated in the Forest Dungeon of the Dead was the opposite.

There was absolutely no excitement in the faces of 199 people who participated in this ridiculous prize winning event, who were recognized and chosen by the world.

“Phew.”

“Relax, Relax. ”

Rather, the players' faces were full of tense colors.

And on top of all that tension, vigilance was coated.

There was no conversation between them.

The guild did not share even the eyes of those who did not know, and even those who knew them normally.

No, most of the time, neurometastases toward each other start as soon as the eyes meet.

‘There are signs of a flawed attack everywhere. ’

Kim Woo-jin, who was watching the scene, lost his mind.

‘Well, the product is the product. ’

Players saw this reaction because of King Arthur's ring, of course.

Although King Arthur's ring's stats were not disclosed, the players could not have known its value.

‘Plus it's an opportunity to become a legendary item owner · · · · · · ·. ’

Furthermore, if King Arthur's Ring is acquired in this dungeon raid, it is likely that the best beneficiary of the raid will become the owner of the ring.

It means you can put the ring on your finger, not pay for the guild.

It was more than I thought.

Legendary items are hard to get, but it's even harder to use them.

‘There's no holding hands. ’

Of course, in such situations, there can be harmony and cooperation between the guilds.

‘We will also compete internally. ’

Furthermore, even though they were in the same guild, they were very likely to compete with each other.

‘If you hold hands, it's a worst-case scenario. ’

Nevertheless, if several guilds hold hands, it is likely to be necessary to eliminate a strong talent.

It was not a good sign to attack the dungeon.

‘Durahan is never a weak monster. ’

Moreover, the identity of the boss monster, the owner of the dead in the Forest of the Dead, was Durahan.

It was a really scary monster.

‘Fourth toughest boss monster in a three-story dungeon. ’

Boss monsters stronger than Durahan on the third floor of the dungeon by Kim Woo-jin's standards are just three scary monsters.

That's why the Great One Guild and the Frontier Guild had failed to attack in the first place.

It's a good situation to leave no room for such monsters to cooperate, rather than cooperate.

‘Nothing bad for me. ’

Of course, it wasn't bad for Kim Woo-jin.

After all, the Great One will be the most vigilant in this situation, and your vigilance against Isaac Ivanov will naturally drop.

In fact, the attention of all the players here today was focused on the Great One Guild.

No one cared about Isaac Ivanov.

The only thing he cares about.

“Isaac, I'd like to ask you for an interview. ”

“Isaac, this is strike number two. What are your goals?"

“Are you going after King Arthur's ring? ”

Only reporters were asking questions towards Kim Woo-jin, who was in the distance.

Of course the journalists knew.

It's virtually impossible to get an interview with Isaac Ivanov, and what they're doing right now is they're writing evil against the wall.

Rather, they now knew it was an attack on Isaac Ivanov.

With less than an hour left to attack a dungeon than ever before, there is no possibility that asking a player repeatedly before the dungeon attack will have a positive impact on that player.

So some expected.

"It's amazing that Isaac here is so nervous that he can only yell once. ’

‘Angry Isaac, not bad for a title. ’

Isaac Ivanov wishes to respond nervously to the stimulus of repeated journalists and come forward.

I was hoping a topic would pop up here today.

“Huh?"

“What, what? ”

At that moment, I began to see signs of that wish coming true.

“It's Isaac!”

Isaac Ivanov, who was far away, steps forward to where the journalists are.

The camera shutter burst restlessly and the journalists' voices began to rise.

Soon, Isaac Ivanov, standing in front of the reporters as if he were standing on the photograph line, pointed to a journalist with his finger.

“Yes!”

CNN reporters and cameramen with microphones approached Isaac Ivanov without hesitation.

“Isaac Ivanov called us. Can I ask you a few questions? ”

And I immediately started the interview.

“We won't be asking questions for a long time. But I want to say something to you personally. Is it possible?"

“Of course.”

Isaac Ivanov speaks fluently in front of them, leaving the microphone in front of me in English.

“First of all, I want to thank America for allowing us to attack the Forest Dungeon of the Dead. I also want to thank the Great One Guild for fulfilling my proposal. Furthermore, I salute you beyond gratitude for bringing together the best of us through the ring of Arthur. ”

It was a framed horse, so the crowd didn't react much to it.

That's all you got? ’

Is that all you came here to say? ’

Some complained about situations that were not even news.

As the complaint grew, Isaac Ivanov began removing an item from his inventory.

A crossbow appeared in the air with nothing like magic.

“Park Yong-wan from the Guild recently supported me with this precious Wilhelm Tel crossbow. ”

Isaac Ivanov, with the crossbow in his hand, points to the left.

“I'll bet this valuable item is for this dungeon. ”

At that moment, the sound of the camera shutter that was relentless stopped.

“So, you're going to put a Legendary item as a prize? ”

Only CNN reporters instinctively asked the question, and Isaac Ivanov answered the question.

“Shouldn't you give this kind of prize to those who risked their lives to attack the dungeon? ”

Just then, a commotion started spreading on the quiet stage.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk! ”

“Cow, on the news! ”

In front of the commotion, Isaac Ivanov smiles lightly.

It was an hour before entering the dungeon when the plates shifted.

< 34.00. Taunt (2). > End
