Raid Breaker
< [Chapter 29] Longevity (2) >
The beginning was the disappearance of the vanguard.
The vanguard consisted of five Helpers per per Soldier Knight. Their mission was to go ahead and clean up the mess once the scouts saw the presence of a beast or a beast.
The vanguard consisted of five helpers per Soldier Knight, meaning that the enemy in front was a few horseshoes or grade 1-2 monsters.
Of course, there was no reason for the vanguard to go missing.
However, the first wave has gone missing and there have been no emergency reports of any last contact or raid on the enemy.
It just disappeared completely.
At the time of the disappearance of the first wave, experienced bacteria were expected to be exterminated by them. And I considered two possibilities…… the first was the break-in of the ‘Raider’ and the second was the appearance of the Dungeon Boss.
The first possibility, however, was that looters were less likely to break in. Basically, the location of the dungeon itself is regularly managed by the Red Eagles, so plunderers were hardly wandering around and the portal itself was clearly hidden.
Of course, even though everything seemed perfect, the plunderer could hide at any time, but at least the plunderer had no reason to remove the vanguard first and put a lot of caution on the Tachoslope.
If you're not a pillager, the only thing left is a dungeon boss.
Jung Tae-gyun decided that the Dungeon Boss was the most likely to show up and began searching for the Dungeon Boss with the main proceeding.
However, there were no traces of any activity, even though the main process was excellent at searching.
The results were the same even after staying a few days in the place where the first wave went missing.
Obviously, there is a disappearance, but there is no cause...... But since we couldn't stay here for long, the expedition decided to reinforce the reconnaissance and make sure that the scouts didn't stray from the base as far as possible, and then started attacking the dungeons again.
Once again, an okay dungeon attack continues.
However, the expedition has not made any striking strides like before because of the anxiety that there may be another attack.
One day there was a bit of a stuffy situation.
When the dungeon attack was about 50%...... the danger returned to the expedition.
“Huff-puff... Huff-puff... ”
Choi Byeong-un was a knight in Redbird. In fact, he was only a year old since he became a knight. Redbird was his first knight. I originally wanted to enter the Red Eagles, but it seemed to me that a large knight like the Red Eagles had to have a high threshold.
That's why I chose Redbird. After years of hard work and recognition at the Redbird Knights, I decided to become an Officer Knight and enter the Red Eagles with confidence.
But such a grudge?) had a major setback to his plans. Guaranteed positions, rosy futures…… even these hopeful words were useless before death. If he really died, he was a jerk.
So Choi Byeong-un could never die, and his desperate heart made his footsteps run faster.
Did we lose him?
Choi Byeong-un, who was running like crazy, glanced back.
The endless trees... Choi Byeong-un ran from him. The one who swallowed his comrades in an instant tried to swallow even Choi Byeong-un, but Choi Byeong-un hardened his legs like a reinforcement knight and ran off like crazy.
‘We need to call for help……. ’
Choi Byeong-un, who thought he had escaped to some extent, tried to get the emergency radio out of his arms.
But the moment he tried to get the radio out,
Something pops out of his shadow.
Shhh!
It was a big mouth that came out of the shadows. It was a mouth that looked like the mouth of a fish called an angler... … It looked very scary at first glance.
In fact, he was an Angler.
‘Shadow Angle (£39187; £39740;)' ……… This was the most difficult monster to deal with.
I would rather kill a Grade 6 monster than catch such a difficult one.
In fact, the relatively weak of the Grade 6 monsters were much easier to catch than this Shadow Angle.
Kuaaaak! Wood Duck!
An angler protruding from Choi Byeong-un's shadow swallowed him whole. Of course, Choi Byeong-un couldn't do any rescue requests. The smallest fish to be chewed alive by an angler...... His dream of becoming the elite knight of the Red Eagles shattered like this.
The Shadow Angle, which chewed through Choi Byeong-un's entire body, fades back into the shadow.
The fear of the Shadow Angle was that he was a natural assassin. The Shadow Angle was the most powerful assassin, even if it combined all the grade 5 monsters, or even all the grade 6 monsters known to date.
Basically, the Shadow Angle lived in the shadows, but in the usual way, it could never find such a hidden Angle.
Even though he was a monster, he was small, but he only ate one person at a time, walking around in the shadows, so small acts in his favor.
In the end, to catch the Shadow Angle, we have to pull him out of the shadows and fight... … The Smart Shadow Angle never comes out of the shadows unless it's a perfect hunting opportunity.
Since he was a natural assassin and a hunter, he emerged from the shadows and swallowed up the entire target and disappeared back into the shadows.
If he repeated this pattern of attacks, the expedition would be lost in an instant.
A well-known tactic is catching him like fishing after selling a trap through bait, but that didn't work out so well because he was so careful.
Usually, other hidden monsters take the bait and fish like this, but the Shadow Angle almost didn't fall for anything like fishing because it hides in the shadows and watches everything that happens nearby.
Of course, those with special abilities forced the anglers out of the shadows, but there was no way anyone in Redbird had such abilities.
The bigger problem was that Redbird had no idea that the target they were threatening was the Shadow Angle.
One of the things that scares the Shadow Angle is this: Usually, those who deal with the Shadow Angle are only aware of the identity of the Shadow Angle after nearly half of the expedition has been sacrificed.
A fierce, clever and cautious Shadow Angle.
He could truly be called the worst monster.

Another few helpers, including one knight, went missing. There was no sign this time.
They weren't even that far from the mainstream, but they were beaten. By this time, Jung Tae-gyun, who realized the seriousness of the situation, had no choice but to gather all the knights and hold a countermeasure meeting.
“So the conclusion is that you're a hidden monster and you don't know exactly what it is? ”
Jung Tae-gyun asked with a frustrated expression.
“I'm sorry. I'm still looking for tracks, so you'll know exactly what kind of monster they are if you find them." ”
The main proceeding is trying to figure out what kind of monster attacks the expedition with all his might.
It was a situation that hit the wall because there was no trace of anything like it yet, but I thought if I could find any trace of the dungeon boss, I might be able to figure it out.
At that moment, Soohyuk, who was standing in one corner, slowly opened his mouth.
“Could it be a Shadow Angle? ”
Until now, when Su-hyuk opened his mouth, everyone looked at him with an angry expression.
“The Shadow Angle…… and it turns out that the expedition disappears without a trace, and feeds on the expedition bit by bit, fits perfectly with the way the Shadow Angle hunts. ”
On hearing Suhyuk's words, the main procession nodded and muttered.
It was Jan Hyuk who was able to talk about the Shadow Angle that no one had ever thought of because it was so rare.
Yan, who was listening to the meeting with Suhyuk, told Suhyuk that there might be a "Shadow Angle," and Suhyuk told others about it.
“If the real Shadow Angler is the boss of this dungeon…… we should call for help. We'll never catch him. ”
The main proceedings were exploration knights, making him even more aware of the fear of the Shadow Angle. He was already frozen from the moment the name of the Shadow Angle appeared.
“Hmm... Is this really a Shadow Angle? There's no chance of another monster? ”
“I can't say for sure that it's a Shadow Angle, but when I look at it, there's a 70% chance that it's a Dungeon Boss. ”
“So maybe not 30 percent. ”
“Unless it's a Shadow Angler, it's like a 'Tunnel Giant Worm’ or ‘Dark Helm Tree'... They don't hunt like this without leaving a trail. Speaking of which, I think there's an 80% chance that the Shadow Angle is the dungeon boss. ”
The proceedings were straightforward.
He considers himself a great fan of the Redbird Knights, making more and more calls for help.
“Hard. Hard. ”
The expression of the bacteria that heard the main course became even darker.
It was better when I didn't listen to the word "shadow angles."
“Let's think a little more. ”
Jung Tae-gyun could not easily make the rescue request selection.
It was Redbird's first grade 5 dungeon raid.
It was too pride to ask others to fill this important first button because they couldn't fill it.
Even if the Phantom Angle is a difficult opponent, the Red Eagles are able to take care of it. It meant that there would be no great risk if we just called for help.
However, for various reasons, Jung Tae-gyun had to be cautious about the request for rescue.
Jung Tae-gyun continued to worry and convinced the other knights to confirm the identity of the dungeon boss and try boss Raid for once.
He thought it was absurd to give up without doing anything like this.
To be honest, the Knights were not willing, but they had no choice but to agree because it was not wrong.
Once the dungeon boss has confirmed that it really is a Shadow Angle. But the problem was that it wasn't even easy to confirm.
Ultimately, the surest thing was to sacrifice someone, but the bacteria couldn't make that decision. On the other hand, the main event or some other night asked Jung Tae-gyun to make sure that at least one of the cleaners had been sacrificed.
They were knights of typical aristocracy, so they thought it was nothing to do with the death of a helper or a janitor. However, Jung Tae-gyun was furious with every time they said that, and said that he would never do it.
This prestigious character of Tae Gyun gave people faith, but sometimes there were those who were frustrated with him.
The main process was exactly like that.
Although he admired the bacteria as a human being, he did not think that they were all right.
So he started secretly preparing something for the bacteria.
