SSS-Class Suicide Hunter

5.

The white light subsides.

By the time I woke up, I was already back in the middle of the battlefield.

A pretty familiar sight came into view.

- Kirre, Kiehek!

Strange screaming monsters.

Soldiers who fight against him and bleed.

Thousands of monsters rush in to take down the port.

Stage 11. Preemptive for supply.

The first battle to defend the Aikim Empire was fought.

“Thank you! You have come to help our empire, warriors! ”

The appearance of the general NPC coming to greet us was no different than the last round. He wears the same armor, looks the same, and spills the same line.

“Warriors! Quickly help us save the Empire." ”

But that's it.

That was the same thing as the last round.

Everything has changed since the moment the Hunters took over.

“Gather the Black Dragons! ”

A cruel voice splits the battlefield. Master of Black Dragons. Witches. Now, as I do in the battle of a gate only I can remember, the witch cried out with an error. Her voice had something instinctively catching people's attention.

“From now on, the Black Dragon controls this war! ”

The Witch came to the battlefield.

“Peacekeepers! Take the left! Break through! All temples and refinements are right-wing! Our Black Dragon is about to breach the center. If you have any dissatisfaction with your command, speak up after the battle! If you have time to talk right now, grab another Orc! ”

The world has changed.

“Wooooo!”

Hunters' screams were evidence of change.

The Giant Guilds are in disarray. Perhaps I shared information that the 11th floor stage is a group war. There was no hunter who bludgeoned like the last time.

“Girls, follow me! If he dies before I do, he dies first! ”

And a celestial moon led by a serpent.

“What the hell is that? No, everyone, back up the Moon! We have to help those Boars get away from isolation! ”

And a vigilante led by a paladin.

“Ah-ha! Individual action is instant execution, people! Move thoroughly in teams! ”

Manchurian preaching led by the Inquisitor of Ethics.

“Everyone's got a lot of blood. We're taking it slow. Don't overdo it. ”

Elegance led by the Earl.

There were no gaps in any guild. Everyone breaks through the battlefield faithful to their role. Specialized in combat, Hunters wielded their swords ahead, and Auxiliary Hunters were honoured for their magic skills behind. Daeha! Hunters push back and forth, pushing back a host of monsters like a rough river.

“Oh · · ·! ”

General NPC has lost elasticity. I wonder if he was impressed by the sight in front of him.

“Surely God has not abandoned his empire yet! Behold! The warriors who have crossed this world are forcefully pushing monsters away! Imperial soldiers! Do we stand idly by? All forces, follow me! ”

The scholars scream and rush in.

I took a step back and watched him.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

Yeah, it is.

Again, what people need is a little something.

Even if I move a little bit more discreetly, the landscape that unfolds on the stage changes so much.

At that time, the messenger said badly.

- Zombie, you okay?

What is it? ’

- This will make you less conspicuous.

The messenger frowns.

- There's no one else who likes to stand out like you. You're obsessed with people's attention. This should give you less attention than the last round.

‘Well, maybe. ’

I shrug.

‘But I don't feel bad about this either. ’

Oh, fuck. But they've grown a little bit.

‘Growth is nothing. You're still gonna take what I can carry? ’

Suddenly, I could feel his gaze behind my neck.

Looking back, the old prosecutor gazed at me silently.

It was a sword.

“Huh."

I was a little embarrassed and asked.

“What are you doing there · · · Senior? ”

“I'm watching you. ”

The swordsman replied in a tone that seemed natural.

“Like I said, I'll watch for five days and then decide whether or not to kill you." So, I'm watching. ”

“· · · Uh. Well, you're not really going to watch me for five days, are you? ”

“That's an odd question. Of course I intend to. ”

Oh, my god.

What is that, a stalker?

“No, you have to kill monsters, too! This will give you quest rewards in the order in which you contributed to the battle! ”

“Hmm.”

The sword turns its gaze and swings it lightly.

Aaaaaaah!

The blue-light error scratched the front in an instant. As if 20 Goblins had never screamed properly, their heads flew off. A fountain of blood blooms in the middle of the battlefield.

The sword glanced at me quietly.

“Don't worry, I'll cut you in half. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Don't mind yourself. Just do your job. ”

He's a dead man.

He was on a different level.

“Phew. What a surprise. ”

I shaken my head and turned to the Black Dragon Witch. The members of the Black Dragon Guild stopped me on the way, but I stopped when I saw the sword following me. Eventually, the witch realized we were approaching and let us through.

“What's going on? Hunter Kim, and a crook. ”

The witch narrows her eyebrows and twitches.

“I'm busy leading the guilds right now. I'm a little distracted. I'd appreciate it if you could just wrap this up in 30 seconds. ”

“I have no business. ”

The old man grumbled.

“I only followed this young man. ”

“What? What? No, that's okay. I don't care! I don't care about you right now. Please, if it's not important, just get out of here. Team four! ”

While giving the swordsman a face, the witch gave the guild members a busy order.

“Don't be foolish to come forward, but stay where you are! If you don't want the spear stuck up your ass, don't move! What are the 12 teams doing? You think we're here for a walk? Hunt straight!”

“I'm sorry! Black Dragon Juice!”

“If you get a chance to apologize, swing that knife again! ”

He seemed really busy.

I said I was in a hurry.

“Black Dragon Juice. I have a 10-story clearance reward. ”

“That must be him. So what?"

“Here's your minimap reward. In my eyes, the battlefield looks like a minimap. Enemies and allies are marked by dots. Of course, we can see where the enemy commander is. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

It was not until the witch turned her gaze and looked straight at my face.

“Really?"

“What would I do if I lied? It's true."

“Then come to me at once. What have you done so far? ”

Bang, bang! The witch grabbed my right hand.

“Tell me! Where are the boss monsters!? ”

This man reveals himself when he's distracted.

“Well, there it is. ”

I set my finger in the direction indicated on the minimap.

“I can't see very well surrounded by monsters, but over there-. ”

“Repeat that you agree to use the skill! Come on!"

“Uh, I agree with the use of the Black Dragonism skill. ”

“Metastasis!”

Paaaaaaaah!

The next moment, the witch and I were floating in the air. To be precise, he was falling. Up in the middle of the battlefield. A vast army of monsters and human forces huddle beneath you.

The witch howls in the wind, her black feet waving.

“Where!? ”

“Hey!"

The sound of the wind was loud, so I shouted aloud.

“In the direction I'm pointing now -. ”

“Metastasis!”

Every time the witch called out a moment ago, we swiftly approached the location of the boss monsters.

I embraced the witch a little more from above. It didn't mean anything. I want to be able to fall out of the sky with just my right hand.

I cooperated quietly to make sure the witches understood that. And he still cried with a frown.

“Are you a little confident in using a sword!? ”

“Enough to catch the boss here! ”

“Then I'll send you over the monsters! One punch, okay? ”

“Yep!”

I knew exactly what you meant.

“Metastasis!”

After the final transition, we flew right over the boss monster.

Just under ten meters.

A giant Goblin with a fancy banner was squawking at the monsters around him. On the other hand, I would command an army.

“Kim Gong-ja!”

“Iraaaaah!”

I coughed around my body with error. Did he hear our voices? The Goblin, who was leading the monsters, tilted and looked up.

- Glug?

The Great Goblin came forward and looked at me.

But it was too late.

Uhhhhhhh!

The blade dug into the head of the giant Goblin. His body was torn into two sinuses.

However, even the great Goblin couldn't resist just because the name is Boss Monster. He just stared at me until the last time, as if it were unfair. Well, technically, it was unfair that he died twice for me.

- Glug.

- Khh, r · · · ·?

The monsters who lost their leader in slumber looked at me. I didn't seem to recognize it because it happened so quickly.

I smiled.

“Why?”

Stomping over the corpse of a Giant Goblin.

“Can I cut you in two? ”

Later, the monsters scream.

- Kiiiey!

- Glug! Glug!?

Goblins and Orcs are scattered all over the place. One escaped, six fled, and thirty quickly escaped. Monsters start to flee from all sides, as if the dominoes had collapsed.

“Azaaa!”

The witch clenches a small fist at your side.

“Good job, Kim Gong-ja! Oh, my God! I can't believe we're clearing a stage in less than an hour! He wouldn't have killed 50 hunters! Maybe 30 people didn't die · · ah! It can't be better than this! ”

I've never seen a witch so excited.

The reason I was expressionless in the last round · · · Is it because Hunters died quite early in the ride? And now you're happy that the damage is so minor?

‘Surprisingly simple. ’

A person who grieves or rejoices over how few victims there are.

I smiled.

“I was so excited. Calm down. ”

“When people get excited, they have to get excited! I'll compliment you again. Well done, Kim Gong-ja! I haven't completed a stage with as few sacrifices as today since I raided the tower. Be proud of yourself!”

The witch smiles brightly.

He did not lift his mouth as he did at the castle wall, but really smiled.

“Thought you wanted to monopolize the Clear Rewards yourself. I'm so glad the new hero is someone like you. What a relief. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Starting today, all the press and journalists in the tower will rush to you, so get ready! ”

Pure kindness.

‘That's right.'

The witch reaches out her hand to shake her hand.

‘That's it. ’

Holding hands, I thought,

‘I'm glad to be noticed by ordinary people · · · just a lot of people. I feel absolutely good. Being the best of them, being jealous, jealous, being the hero. It's all so overwhelming. ’

But...

‘Not as much as these people appreciate it. ’

hard-working people.

Even if I never say I did my best in life.

Those who can clearly say they did their best to live.

A sword at its peak with a single blade.

A coven of witches with the greatest power in the world.

And many, many others who really work hard.

‘I · · · ·. ’

I squeezed the witch's hand.

‘For these people, I want to live a life that is recognized. ’

Not only that.

‘I want to protect these people. ’

Don't be ridiculed by the Demon King.

without insulting or blaspheming hard-working people like salt salts. It's not mocking, it's consistent with cruel ridicule, it's not working with despicable tricks. I just want to acknowledge them and be recognized by them.

No, I don't.

I want to earn their respect.

Even if it's an impossible dream.

‘I want to live like that. ’

In a slightly different world.

I wanted to change a little more, too.

That was my deepest desire.

- Shit.

The messenger mutters.

- It's worth watching.

Soon after, you hear a voice announcing the 11th floor clearance.

Giant letters came to mind in the sky.

+

[Attack Contribution Ranking]

1st place. Kim Gong-ja

2nd place. Witch

3rd place. Inquisitor

4th place. Serpent.

5th. Paladin

Rank 6. Earl

7th. Swordsmanship

•

+

As the world has changed, clear rankings have subtly changed.

The sword that finished second in the last round slipped all the way to seventh place.

On the other hand, the witch who was in sixth place last time suddenly rose to second place.

[Top raiders will enter the 12th floor first.]

[The remaining raiders cannot enter the 12th floor until the top raiders are rewarded.]

[Remind all again · · ·.]

And I finally heard.

The voice opens up the 12th floor of the horse.

“I don't know if I'll be able to clear up to the 20th floor in no time. ”

The witch said with a slightly reminded face.

“Though I expected at least 5,000 to be sacrificed, it's a good start. Very.”

No, it's not.

If you leave it alone, you will make a terrible sacrifice on the 12th floor.

Above all, you lose the Earl, who is essential for interacting with the outside. The tower's economy collapses in an instant when the passageway to trade with the outside is cut off. There will be chaos, not 5,000, but 50,000, and 500,000 casualties.

‘I mean.'

Therefore.

‘I'll carry it. ’

A dazzling light enveloped us.

6.

When I opened my eyes again, I was there.

Reality of the Empire.

The last marble floor that was stained with blood is still there.

“Oh?”

“Hmm.”

Hunters were summoned in turn. The expressions of looking at me varied. There was a Hunter with a big smile who said, 'I thought you'd be here first,' and a Hunter who disassembled, 'I never thought I'd win first place again.'

Same as last time.

“Kim Gong-ja Hunter! It was amazing!”

It was like the Inquisitor rushed in and praised me.

“I never thought I'd work with a black dragon like that! Aha. Any luck locating the boss monsters? Is this the reward from the last stage? Probably · · ·. ”

“Wait a minute.”

However, unlike the last round, the Inquisitor couldn't continue to compliment me. I raised my hand to stop him. The Inquisitor tilts his head.

“Yes?”

“I have to tell you something first. ”

Hunters looked at me.

The witch remains slightly reminded. The viper frowned deeply. The paladin has a grave face. The erl is in debt.

While other hunters stare at each other with their own eyes.

What about the sword?

I checked the old man's presence first.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

The sword stood alone in the corner of the throne room. It was quiet. Despite the way I looked at you, I didn't react much. He just squeezes his arms and watches me frown.

Got it!

It was so different from the last time I fired a machete.

That's enough! ’

There are no more outbursts in the early 12th floor.

I got rid of it.

I've succeeded in stopping my hostile relationship for a while.

I felt my heart pounding and said.

“Yesterday. Here's what I told you. ”

“Yesterday?”

“Please.”

I answered the Inquisitor's question.

“If I ask you a favor one day, just hear me out. That's what I said.”

“Ah, yes! Of course I remember! ”

“Please, listen to me now. ”

I glanced at the Hunters.

The guild leaders were eager to ask for favors.

“Five days from now. Just stay here for five days and do nothing. ”

“ · · · · · ·. ”

“Then.”

I took a deep breath.

Then I opened my mouth.

“I'll clear up to 20 floors in five days. ”
