Kill the Hero

13.

Every creature has a survival instinct, which signals the moment of crisis.

[Go to the next floor.]

The first time such survival instincts signaled was the sudden attack on the second floor of the dungeon.

You caught a turtle? ’

I didn't get a signal. ’

Players were overwhelmed by the unexpected notification of the dungeon attack.

When they entered the third floor of the dungeon, the world of Zachman appeared to them.

[Black fog eats away at your vitality.]

Black fog.

In the advent of life-eating poison fog, the players' survival instincts send a bigger signal.

"Black fog, this is dangerous. ’

I didn't prepare that many poison treatments. ’

‘If you do something wrong, you might die before you even fight. ’

We need to get out of here as soon as possible, and the players have moved on to a constant signal of survival instinct.

“Let's search. Let's figure out the boss monster first. ”

I started looking for the owner of this place they had to capture to get out of here as soon as possible.

That's how they knew.

“Durahan?”

What kind of monster hurt America's pride?

14.

Durahan.

Armed with two metres of height and black armor, the man carrying his severed head was not that intense in his appearance.

It may sound absurd to ordinary people, but to players who had to deal with an enormous monster, such as a golden lion or ogre, the 2m tall monster was frankly petty.

Nevertheless, Durahan has been perceived as a target of fear by players since the moment it was revealed.

There were a number of reasons.

The fact that there are no weaknesses that are the main characteristics of undead monsters, but that being killed by Durahan is a zombie and taking care of him, or that his skin rots when exposed to the icy cold from Durahan's severed head · · · · · · ·.

However, it was not only the words that made the players most terrified, but also the words left by the player who captured Durahan for the first time.

“It wasn't easy. ”

After he left that note, Durahan became the first Durahan hunter and master of the Messiah Guild, Lee Se-jun.

Trembling, trembling.

Such a Durahan rides his horse through the Forest of the Dead.

Ugh.

Turn it off.

Along with a group of zombies who were killed by themselves.

“That's the worst.”

That's why no one dared to say a word against Jay Jackson.

“Durahan is Durahan, but the zombies are in trouble. ”

Durahan himself was never easy to hunt, but what's more troubling is that he now has about 300 zombies with him.

Zombies aren't monsters that are hard to hunt.

It wasn't more aggressive or more defensive than normal monsters.

Instead, I had no weakness for being like an undead type monster.

I cut off my arms and legs or my head, and I felt no pain in any attack, no death from excessive bleeding, or poison deterioration.

“It will take less time to catch them. ”

In other words, zombies are not difficult to hunt, but they take their strength and time.

“I know a face. ”

Moreover, a group of zombies led by Durahan has already entered this dungeon ahead of them.

Of course, most zombie players are heavily armed.

Armor, that too, can compare their Defense Strength to Ordinary Zombies equipped with items of minimal rarity or higher.

Of course, if you asked me to catch anything, I couldn't catch anything.

If I had the time, I could catch it without too much damage.

[Black fog eats away at your vitality.]

But now the black fog has made it clear to the players.

“The problem is we don't have much time. ”

You don't have much time.

“How long can you hold out? ”

Elise Heiton immediately answered Jay Jackson's question as if he had already done the math.

"We need to reduce the power leakage for up to a week, after that. What about you?”

“We're the same. There's plenty of food, but there's not enough to cure this poison. There are limits to healer's Cure skills. ”

It was then.

“Isaac Ivanov is on the move. ”

A search party said Jay Jackson and Ellis Heiton faced each other.

In that state, Jay Jackson asked.

“What do you want to do? ”

I asked Elise Heiton if he would really roll the dice, and Elise Heiton answered the question.

“We don't have much time, so we have to stop him from failing. ”

Jay Jackson nods.

“Then let's bring the monsters. ”

They throw the dice.

Fifteen.

Most players' expectations were the same when Isaac Ivanov started fighting Durahan.

“Isaac Ivanov started hunting? ”

“Then we'll start with fewer zombies. ”

Isaac Ivanov's primary objective is to reduce the zombie population.

As expected, Isaac Ivanov and the Skeleton Soldier attack the zombies first, not Durahan.

“But it will be hard to leave Durahan alone, so I will take action to buy time with him. ”

“Who was it? A colleague of Shiva's. ”

“Or a skeleton knight. ”

Players also expected Isaac Ivanov to face Durahan with a key lead to buy time to make it easier for Skeleton Soldiers to hunt zombies.

Isaac Ivanov acted as they expected.

While the skeleton knight and Jina and the two alternate sides face Durahan, the skeleton soldiers continue to fight the zombies slowly and metallurgically reduce their number.

That's why the players who had seen the battle were able to speak clearly.

“It's going to take a long time. ”

“Time is of the essence, but not the slightest mistake. Even a small hole will collapse. ”

What are the weaknesses of Isaac Ivanov's battle now, and what are the most dangerous moments?

“Worst case, it's time to get rid of some zombies and start showing up at the point where we're going after Durahan. ”

“For example, a swarm of roaming monsters appeared to hear the sound of battle. ”

What is the worst situation Isaac Ivanov could face?

Furthermore, they expected.

‘The Great One Guild will never know that. ’

‘As the Greatest Guild has the most to lose, you'll have no choice but to do anything. ’

Someone will deliberately make the worst of it.

Of course, they didn't come out of their mouths until that expectation.

‘If Isaac Ivanov fails · · · · · · · ·. ’

‘We may also have an opportunity. ’

I just hope that the worst will happen.

And their wish soon came true.

“Two hundred monsters have entered the battlefield! ”

The worst moment unfolded, and the attention of all was focused on Isaac Ivanov.

I waited for Isaac Ivanov, who faced the worst moment, to make his choice, and in front of them, Isaac Ivanov made his choice without hesitation.

“Fall back!”

“The skeleton soldiers are retreating! ”

Isaac Ivanov, he has retreated.

16.

“Fall back!”

A player from the Great One Guild, who was looking beyond the mist through a haze of dark fog and skill, shouted at everyone.

“Skeleton soldiers are retreating! ”

Elise Highton, who was waiting for the notice, raised one of her lips.

“Wise guy. ”

Jay Jackson, who was next to him, also said a word.

“It's a wise choice to wait until the end rather than the end. Even a legendary item is not more important than life itself. ”

That was the end of the conversation.

“Prepare for battle. Coming right in.”

Elise Highton immediately gave a combat preparedness order to his men and began preparing all the members of the Great One Guild for battle at once.

So was Jay Jackson.

“Support the Great One Guild. ”

In the face of a battle for glory, everyone settles down.

The atmosphere that flowed between them also began to become naturally heavy.

It was then.

“We're still fighting. ”

Something came up.

“What are you talking about? ”

Elise Highton turns his head in the direction of speaking.

“Are you kidding me, Isaac? ”

Isaac Ivanov, a man with a skeleton mask, appears in her eyes.

“Well, how did you get here? ”

Surprised, Kim Woo-jin said to her.

She wasn't the only one who was surprised.

No, when did he get here? ’

How is it possible to enter without being noticed? ’

Both the Great One Guild and the frontier guild players were looking at Kim Woo-jin, who had entered their hearts in horror.

‘Nonsense. ’

In Jay Jackson's case, I was aiming at Kim Woo-jin with my own blade.

It was evidence that Kim Woo-jin felt a threat to his survival.

It was actually worth it.

They've still trapped Ivanov. From Isaac Ivanov's point of view, killing them is self-defense.

Even Isaac Ivanov digs into their hearts without a trace.

What if Isaac Ivanov had thrown the knife instead of talking to Ellis Heiton?

Gulp!

Those who imagined it swallowed it unknowingly.

Tension runs through the surroundings, and cold sweat begins to flow.

Inside, Isaac Ivanov said.

“We're still fighting. So wait your turn. ”

It was a polite voice, but there was not a single person who thought it was polite.

“Don't be ridiculous. Now you've given up the battle. ”

Elise Highton was the only one who disagreed.

“That's right. Battle is not a wine bar. There's no such thing as keeping a drink later. ”

Immediately Jay Jackson lowered his blade and added to Elise Heiton's words.

“There was an accident, but you gave up the battle and withdrew all troops. It's usually called defeat. ”

Kim Woo-jin didn't answer.

Instead, I covered his mouth with my index finger.

Shh. Everyone is silent in that gesture.

As the sound of the surrounding area subsides, the sound in the distance naturally starts to fill the surroundings.

Kang!

You hear the battle.

At that sound, Elise Highton turns his head to where Durahan was.

Of course, there was nothing she could see because of the dark fog.

A player using a skill to see through the fog on her behalf shouts at the situation.

“I'm in the middle of a battle. ”

“What?"

“Sun, the Skeleton Knight is using a crossbow to attack Durahan again. ”

The description reminded everyone of one word.

“Wilhelm Tel's Crossbow? ”

Wilhelm Tel's Crossbow.

Legendary item that sends a chase after a hit target!

That was enough.

“Really?"

Isaac Ivanov, the idea of what he's drawing in his head right now...

“I'm still fighting. The skeleton's retreat is to make tactical changes as the situation changes. ”

So Isaac Ivanov said Elise Heiton and Jay Jackson were indisputable.

Anyway, like he said, he was in the middle of a battle, and he was giving Durahan a valid strike after all?

“Once you summon more Skeleton Soldiers and have your troops ready, they will strike again." ”

Furthermore, he expressed his will to continue the battle.

“It may take some time, but there's no time limit, so I won't object to that. ”

Willingness to fight for hours · · · · · · · No · days.

“Crazy bastard, this place is full of black fog! ”

At that moment, Elise Highton shouts out, unable to resist.

“There's a limited amount of time to fight! And you're wasting your time like this? Are you kidding me?”

Isaac Ivanov said that.

“That's your problem. I can last a month here. ”

“You survived a month in this poison fog? What nonsense! ”

That's when the identity of Isaac Ivanov began to pass through Elise Highton's mind, and in the process Elise Highton was able to find one of Isaac Ivanov's nicknames.

“The First Needle Hunter! ”

Isaac Ivanov: The first time he hunted a needle with a stinking toxic smoke

Kim Woo-jin said that.

“Don't worry. We won't have to fight for a month unless it's a special distraction. ”

With the horse, Kim Woo-jin disappears into the black mist once again.
