Chapter 133 – Monster Wave (2)

At the sight of Kreals invading the yard like insects, I felt like my head went blank.

These crab-type monsters, which were at most the size of king crabs, were by no means dangerous or difficult to deal with.

As soon as I realized what this phenomenon meant, I just felt a complex feeling that was difficult to describe.

Allowing the invasion of C-class monsters meant that all the barriers protecting the island had already been destroyed, and in that case, it was not a problem for hundreds of Kreals to crawl around the yard.

It was the same as meaning that a B-rank, A-rank, or, as the maid Eunbyeol said, an S-rank or higher monster was approaching this place.

As evidence of that, even though they hadn’t reached the yard yet, medium-sized monsters presumed to be B-class were approaching this place from afar.

He should have asked for help from other high-ranking hunters who could quickly clean up the scene.

Or give up like other areas eroded by monster waves.

Regardless of the choice, the urgent priority was to escape by helicopter as Eunbyeol said.

The problem was that monsters were already swarming around the means of transportation.

Just when I thought I didn’t know where to start, several daggers flew forward from the back.

Kwajik! With a sound, the five or six kreals whose bodies were pierced by the daggers died as they were, and the weapon that pierced them quickly returned to the rear as if attracted by a magnet.

“First, we’ll break through from the route to the helicopter.”

Maid Eunbyeol said calmly, holding the daggers that had just pierced the monsters.

I wondered where the hell that weapon came from, and what the awakening ability was so I could handle it like that, but there didn’t seem to be time to leisurely ask about it.

“I guess so. Do you also have a weapon, Mr. Seongcheol?”

“I am ready.”

Doshi-hee, who took her own bow out of her travel bag and connected her bowstring, asked me, and I answered by showing her the greatsword I took out of her pocket.

“Avoid useless battles as much as possible. Escape is the first priority.”

“I know.”

Ping. With a sound, the two arcane arrows from Doshi-hee’s bow split the front.

Her arrow neatly crossed the path from the villa entrance to the heliport where the helicopter was built, clearing the path of monsters and other annoying structures at once.

‘Gegegegegege.’

‘Kegeg, kegegeg’

Of course, it was only a temporary phenomenon and soon the route was covered with kreals again, so we had to move forward in a hurry.

Even though we didn’t discuss it in advance, me, Doshi-hee, and Eun-byeol naturally lined up.

A avant-garde who advances while slashing the creals that rush back into the path I took with my greatsword.

Eun-byeol is a mid-level lieutenant who handles those who approach from outside the range of my greatsword or from behind.

And Doshi-hee in the rear guard intercepted the medium-sized monsters approaching from a little distance one by one with his arcane arrows.

Wajijik, Kwajik, Puuk.

The weapons of the three went forward, dealing with monsters in their own way, and before long, they were able to reach the heliport where the helicopter was parked.

Of course, there was no way that monsters wouldn’t have invaded the heliport, so of course it was impossible to leave right away in this state.

“I will take care of the monsters attached to the helicopter. Master and Kim Seongcheol-nim, please take the time to prevent the other monsters from approaching.”

“Yes.”

“I understand, Eunbyeol.”

Eunbyeol lifted the skirt of her long maid uniform and took out a few more daggers from the inside. She intercepted dozens of kreals crawling around the helicopter and repeated the hunt to retrieve her weapon.

It was quite a secret skirt.

Of course, I couldn’t afford to watch the scene where she dealt with the monsters, so she was me.

The problem was that these damn monsters weren’t purely climbing up the stairs, so no matter how much I tried to block them from one or two directions, it wasn’t enough to stop the monsters coming from the helicopter from another direction.

Doshi-hee’s archery is not a very good awakening ability to deal with a large number of enemies, and in the first place, she seemed in a hurry just to reduce the number of B-class monsters that were approaching quite close.

At this rate, let alone escape, all three of us would end up buried in monsters and facing a bad ending.

“Si-hee, I’m going to leave the room for a while!”

“Seongcheol?! Where are you going?!”

Anyway, each one was just a bunch of mobs that could be wiped out at once, so if that was the case, it would be more efficient to gather these monsters in one place and then attack them.

After moving to the large yard under the heliport, I screamed loudly so that a loud voice echoed everywhere.

“Aaaaa!!”

All the eyes of the kreals around me, who were caught in my awakening skill ‘taunt’, were focused on me, and hundreds of dozens of kreals around me except for a few rushed at me at once.

It was an optimal situation to wipe them all out at once using Bayonet Tempest.

Ujijijik, Kwajijijik.

After the sound of the greatsword slicing through the shells of the surrounding wind and crustacean monsters rang several times, the corpses of the Kreals piled up like a crater around me.

As soon as the helicopter raised its head to check what was going on, I heard the voices of Doshi-hee and Eun-byeol calling me from the heliport.

“Ready for takeoff. Please board quickly, Mr. Kim Seong-cheol.”

“Mr. Seongcheol! Quickly!”

Looking at the slowly rotating blades, fortunately, Eunbyeol was also sitting in the cockpit and starting the engine as if she had finished cleaning up the surrounding monsters.

As soon as I climbed the stairs of the heliport again and entered the helicopter, the door closed, and immediately the helicopter driven by Eunbyeol took off into the sky, leaving the monsters under my feet.

“Are you both all right?”

“Ha, that, that’s right….”

“I’m fine too, Mr. Eunbyeol.”

“First of all, I will go to the nearest Centeri International Warp Gate Terminal. New Guinea Island has a stronger sacred barrier than this island, and we expect to be able to quickly receive support requests from high-ranking hunters.”

“Yes, that would be nice… Kyaaaaagh?!

Thud. With a sound, the aircraft began to shake as if our helicopter had crashed into something.

“It is believed to have crashed into an aircraft. Both of you, please fasten your seat belts.”

“Bee, an airplane? You mean you bumped into something like a bird, Eunbyeol?!”

“No, it is assumed that the attack came from below.”

“A monster wave that started in the sea area must have been marine monsters, but among them there are monsters that can attack in the air… Kyaaaaagh?!

“Wow!”

Thud! Along with the sound, the aircraft shook violently once again, and Doshi-hee and I desperately pressed our buttocks into the seat while holding on to the helicopter’s fuselage.

Even in the midst of this, Eunbyul calmly driving in the cockpit of a helicopter was truly phenomenal concentration.

“… It is an ink shell.”

As soon as Eunbyul, who seemed to have discovered something, said that, Doshihee and I instantly got goosebumps.

“If it is a marine monster that can fire ink shells to this height….”

“Sir, could it be the Kraken… ?”

At the name of the S-class monster that came out of Doshi-hee’s mouth, Eun-byeol nodded quietly from the cockpit.

A monster in the form of a giant squid appeared through the helicopter window, half covered in black liquid.

“Daddy, can you escape quickly, Eunbyeol?”

“Just because of that attack, we lost a lot of altitude. We need more time to take off again.”

The question is, will the Kraken, having captured its target during that time, send us off safely?

As if it had already been properly targeted, I could see the Kraken’s ink cannon flying toward the helicopter through the window.

Thud! With a sound, the black fluid from one of the three ink cannons once again lodged itself in the side of the helicopter.

“It’s great.”

“Kyaaaaah!”

Even Eunbyeol, who had been expressionless the whole time, bit her lower lip as if she was in trouble and put on a puzzled expression, and I was already able to realize that the situation was not normally serious.

The helicopter piloted by Eunbyeol couldn’t leave the island where the villa was located and had been going up and down repeatedly for several minutes.

At this rate, there was a high possibility that it would gradually drop in altitude and then touch the ground again, or it would be destroyed in mid-air due to the impact of ink shells.

Frustrated, in my heart I asked Esilla for advice on how to resolve the situation.

‘How can I not, Esilla?’

「The probability of escaping this island without removing the Kraken, an S-class monster, is estimated at about 2%.」

I knew at least that 2% wasn’t a good situation to talk like Hyeja.

‘Then how can I defeat the Kraken?’

「The Kraken’s weakness is its one and only ‘eye’ hidden between its tentacles. However, A-class hunter Doshi-hee’s arcane arrows cannot cause significant damage to the Kraken’s eyes.”

‘Then, with my sword?’

“The master’s swordsmanship itself is capable of cutting off the Kraken’s tentacles and gouging out its eyes, but I don’t expect it to be able to withstand the hard skin of the black Kraken that the master is currently using.”

Eunbyeol was in a position to drive a helicopter, so of course she couldn’t use it with full force. She wasn’t even sure she had the skills to catch that Kraken in the first place.

As soon as the thought that this or that was a not-so-obvious solution entangled in my head, a weapon I had forgotten passed through my mind.

‘Then, with the Mithril Greatsword?’

「You can inflict effective damage.」

‘How many awakening points do I have left?’

“Total 1160 points, including points earned this morning.”

‘Is it barely enough….’

The moment the thought entered her head that she might have to force herself to have sex in this helicopter, Esilla continued.

“… Also, there are two rewards for completing the first achievement that you haven’t received yet.」

… Yes, there is no law to die.
