Kill the Hero

< 46.00. Giant's Forest (2). >

4.

The higher the dungeon level, the more diverse and mysterious the players encounter at the same time.

Monsters, of course, face each other in different dimensions.

It was now.

It was a big world to meet the Giant's Forest and the players who entered the dungeon.

The size of the rocks lying flat on the floor was the size of a cottage, and the tall trees that rose each reminded me of a high-rise apartment, and the leaves that fell nearby were large enough for an adult to cover and sleep.

The players who entered the scene looked like the servants of a small country that had fallen into the Gulliver's country.

What an admirable sight.

“Damn it.”

However, what the players vomited in front of the scene was not an admiration of the amazing world, but a lament.

[Defeat the Queen Spider to get to the next floor.]

The alert I heard immediately was the reason for the sighing.

“From the first floor, the Queen Spider. ”

“You don't think there are striped ants here, do you? ”

“I don't feel good. ”

At the end of that sigh, I started worrying about the worst situation that everyone had imagined.

“Hey, oysters! ”

“Looks like an anthill. ”

And that concern soon became a reality.

“Is it the combination of the queen spider and the striped ant? ”

“Worst combination ever. ”

The queen spider and striped ant coexisted, and the worst thing I had ever imagined happened in the dungeon on the first floor.

Of course, if you insist, it wasn't the worst.

“But where did you meet him on the first floor? It's better than meeting him on the third floor, through the first and second floors. ”

“Fight while you're still in shape. If she's not feeling well, we can't hold off the Queen Spider's pheromones. ”

It was clearly a positive factor that I faced the worst situation I had ever imagined while my power was at its most intact.

Most of all, players knew.

“Well, whatever the situation, it doesn't change the fact that we have to attack. ”

“Yes. We can't stop on the first floor, can we? ”

The dungeon attack must begin, no matter what the worst-case scenario, as long as it's in the dungeon.

“The Messiah Guild is moving! ”

The Messiah Guild was the first to move on from that fact.

No one questioned that.

“As expected, the Messiah Guild moves first. ”

Rather, that was what everyone expected.

“This is a dungeon with nothing but the pride of the Savior, and Isaac Ivanov cannot allow this dungeon to be invaded. ”

“The Messiah guild children will not be nice and meek, but of course they will. ”

The moment Isaac Ivanov raids Giant Forest, he becomes a player who attacks the dungeon Lee Se-jun gave up.

It was absolutely unacceptable for the Messiah Guild, and there was only one way to stop it.

The Messiah Guild invades Giant Forest!

It was not an impossible story.

When Lee Se-jun gave up on the Giant's Forest raid in 2021, the level of players attacking the dungeon on the fourth floor was clearly different from the level of players in 2024.

Players had a much higher level of experience in all areas such as experience, item settings, etc.

Above all, I felt differently.

“No one deserves the glory of the Savior. ”

“Sixty of them are about to die. ”

Lee Se-jun was responsible for the fate of the Messiah Guild at that time.

His death could have been a quick challenge in the situation leading to the death of the Messiah Guild.

Those who came here, on the other hand, worshipped Lee Se-jun as a god, and entered the dungeon without hesitation for his honor.

If death can cover the scuffs of their idols, then it was the Cultists who would gladly give their lives.

Therefore, players did not question the movement of the Messiah Guild.

So how does Isaac Ivanov get out? ’

Instead, I question Isaac Ivanov's movements.

‘Isaac Ivanov also spit something out, so he won't be able to leave here easily. ’

‘They stick together somehow. ’

Even for Isaac Ivanov, there is no avoiding the battle of the Messiah Guild under his own honor.

Isaac Ivanov also moves in the interest of the crowd.

“Isaac, give the order. ”

Specifically, players from the Firebird Guild came to assist him with the request.

Isaac Ivanov gives the order.

“Rest. ”

“Yes?”

“It's your job to rest for three days. ”

“W-what's that? ”

Isaac Ivanov no longer gives orders to the fire guild players who are baffled by incomprehensible orders.

Instead, I just touch the ring on my right hand.

That's how the dungeon attack began.

5.

The combination of queen spiders who enslave monsters using pheromones and ants who dig holes and live in them was simple.

There is no place where the Queen Spider's pheromone effect can be maximized more than the labyrinthine enclosure.

Moreover, in the case of striped ants, there was something different about them.

Striped ants have a habit of using paralytic venom to paralyze their prey and bring it back to the queen alive.

I didn't mean not to eat the corpse, but mostly I did.

That's why Lee Se-joon gave up the dungeon attack.

Monsters paralyzed by striped ant paralysis enter the queen spider's room immediately and become enslaved by the queen spider's pheromones.

More troops, not food.

Furthermore, as the herd grew in this way, the striped ants naturally expanded their oysters.

The anthill grows larger, the number of monsters that live increases, and the cycle of evil begins again.

This is as everyone expected.

The same was true of 60 players in the Messiah Guild.

‘The anthill is already complicated enough. ’

‘Do not move too fast. ’

The Queen Spider, Striped Ant, and the danger of mixing the two species, they clearly anticipated.

The problem was that the expectation and the expectation were the right kind of work.

[The Queen Spider's pheromones attack.]

[I'm losing my mind.]

[Smell sweet.]

“Dammit, the Wizard is down! ”

“Healer! Healer! ”

The status of the striped anthill occupied by the Queen Spider was much worse than expected by the members of the Messiah Guild.

“Stop fighting! Stop fighting! Fall back! ”

Of course, they had to struggle with the attack.

On the third day of entering the dungeon, the Mesia Guild was forced to retreat for the seventeenth time from the ant den.

“Did the attack fail even in this cave? ”

“It's practically over. It is now impossible for the Messiah Guild to attack the Ant Den on their own. ”

In fact, it was also the moment when the Messiah Guild could not reach the Queen Spider by itself.

Do not stick to the same strategy for more than three days, as it was one of their own.

No matter what the odds were, of course, it was not because of the strategic masters, but because of the possibility of subjugation and solidarity.

And when you attack a dungeon with your wife and your ship, you face nothing but failure and death.

“I can't risk my life on the first floor. ”

“Now we must act wisely. ”

Even though the Messiah Guild was prepared to die for idols, it was not reckless enough to spend its life on the first floor of the dungeon.

In fact, after the seventeenth failure, the Messiah Guild immediately began to rest.

“Well, it came out just as I expected. ”

“That's right."

It was mostly what I expected.

“If it had been 60 people, Lee Se-jun would have wiped it out 3 years ago. ”

This dungeon was a dungeon where no one else, including Se-jun Lee, had abandoned the attack and where more progress had been made than at that time, but that was when close to 300 players came together.

Sixty members of the Messiah Guild were unable to answer even if they tried to die.

“Is Isaac all that's left? ”

In this situation, players focused on Isaac Ivanov's march.

More precisely, other guild players were waiting for Isaac Ivanov's proposal.

Unlike the Messiah Guild, they had no intention of rebelling against Isaac Ivanov.

When I asked for cooperation, I responded to the cooperation, so that when the dungeon was attacked in the future, I was aiming to raise my name on the bridge.

It wasn't just their idea.

Didn't Isaac Ivanov enter the dungeon with as many players as possible for support as well?

Why don't you make me an offer? ’

However, after entering the dungeon, Isaac Ivanov has never asked another guild for help or cooperation.

It was not enough to not ask for support or cooperation.

"No, but why don't we go into the anthill once in three days? ’

In the three-day race, Isaac Ivanov and the guild had never entered the anthill.

In other words, they were not attacking themselves.

“I'm not saying I don't hunt. ”

“All I had to do was catch a few wandering hillbillies. ”

Hunting is all about catching monsters that move outside the ant den, and even that number is small.

‘I expected Isaac Ivanov to wipe out the anthill with an army of skeletons unaffected by pheromones. ’

Isaac Ivanov, who has swept away monsters with overwhelming combat power so far.

The whole crowd questioned that.

But the question didn't last long.

[You hunted the Queen Spider.]

[Go to the next floor.]

“Huh?"

“What?”

Day three of the dungeon entrance, the first floor was overrun.

6.

Kim Woo-jin, he still clearly remembers attacking Giant's Forest.

In January 2025, the Messiah Guild sought to eliminate the giant forest that had been a glitch in Lee Se-jun's career, and picked Kim Woo-jin as a card for the raid.

The dungeon attack that started that way was a nightmare.

More than 60 deaths appeared on the first floor to kill the queen spider, and 11 days were spent on the raid alone.

The damage was painful, so everything I got that day during the dungeon raid was imprinted on the bones.

Kim Woo-jin set up a countermeasure based on the information engraved on my bones.

The method was simple.

Kim Woo-jin made a bomb out of a corpse.

[Use syphilis.]

[Engrave a corpse explosion brand.]

The corpse of the monster was turned into a lump of poison using a Seeking Skill, and then the corpse explosion imprint was engraved.

Kim Woo-jin then transported the bomb.

It wasn't that hard.

[Ring of Solomon]

- Available from Lv. 100 and higher.

- Item Description: King Solomon's Ring. It has incredible power to understand and handle everything that is alive.

- Magic Power +100 when equipped

- All AP +10% when equipped

- Can use skill 'Solomon's Command’ when equipped

Solomon's orders were to manipulate striped ants with his skills that made monsters of lower level perfect hands.

The corpse bombs were naturally transported through striped ants and piled up in the Queen Spider's den.

All that's left now is to detonate that bomb.

Pair!

It was enough for one short clap.

[Queen Spider is addicted to blood poisoning.]

[Spider Queen is addicted to Black Poison.]

Moreover, there was even poison in it that contained black blood.

Kim Woo-jin's poison filled the Queen Spider's room in an instant, leaving her to die.

[You hunted the Queen Spider.]

[Achievement ‘Queen Spider Hunter’ achieved.]

[Delegates in the dark world admire your abilities.]

[Delegates of the dark world convey some of their powers.]

[Corpse Explosion Skill Rank has increased one level.]

That's how Kim Woo-jin hunted the Queen Spider on the third day.

Of course, all this was known only to Kim Woo-jin and Lee Jin-ah.

“Uh, what did you do? ”

Other players, of course, even the firebird guild players moving in with Kim Woo-jin, were appalled in front of this ridiculous situation.

Furthermore, some frightened eyes were blooming with fear.

For humans, sometimes the unthinkable event comes more intensely fearful than the terrifying violence.

Kim Woo-jin smiled at their eyes.

‘Here we go. ’

With the horse, Kim Woo-jin changed the ring on his right hand.

Then I heard a notification.

[Wear the ring of Osiris.]

[Revive skill can be used.]

On the notification, Kim Woo-jin painted a picture in his head.

‘I will resurrect Hell Hound on the second floor. ’

Hell Hound, a picture of that monster alive slaughtering monsters.
