Chapter 41 – Aces (4).

“Shudder.”

In the front, ‘Anubis’s senior warrior’ is flashing his eyes, and in the back, Choi Da-eun of the ‘Milky Way’ guild is widening his eyes.
Truly a dilemma.
I had to choose one of two options.

“Hey, yabal!”

The face of Choi Da-eun, who smiled broadly at me, passed through his mind.
Although I usually behave harshly.
Seeing my growth and being more happy than anyone else made me feel really good.

I didn’t want to disappoint Choi Da-eun.
To express my emotions accurately, I wanted to show them more to Choi Da-eun.

“I’ll show you, a completely different me.”

If it was really a situation where he was about to die, Choi Da-eun would have intervened.
It is a position of responsibility as a team leader.
But watching the situation and trying to continue the battle for a long time?

‘It must be that they think it’s a battle with enough potential.’

Have you ever fought properly?
Not monsters weaker than me, but monsters equal to or stronger than me.
Have you ever had to fight with all your might against those like ‘anubis’ advanced warriors’ right in front of you?

None.
If you want to be anxious, you run away.
I didn’t want to take the risk.

What is my goal
Do you just pick and choose to do things that make money like this?
From an F-rank Hunter, growing slowly like a turtle crawling?

Not.
I want to become an S-class Hunter.
I want to become stronger, let my name and face be known, and become more confident.

When I go home, I get treated like an ugly son, but I don’t like that either.
It is my dream to give her little sister some pocket money and proudly stretch her shoulders.

In order to do that, there is no time to be complacent about the status quo.
I had to squeeze the time to spur my growth.

‘But I don’t want to overdo it.’

With a little bit of courage.
Since the ‘Adamantine Buddha’ is still there, there will be no danger.
I think I can catch ‘anubis’s advanced warrior’.

It’s not okay to catch and kill low-ranking warriors.
I have a party too.
Hunting in the ‘Tower’ is not something you do alone.

“Sir Seonwoo! We have them too!”

Eunseo Lee, the supporter of Team 4, screamed.
A supporter specialized in support classes.
She has ‘Blessing’ and ‘Heal’ as her secondary skills.

“Blessing!”

A pure white blessing covers my body.
Strength and agility increased.
2 each for an F-rank Hunter.
When it comes to fighting, even this much was sensed.

The ranged dealers loaded their skills and waited.
In case there was an aggro, I widened the distance with the advanced warrior.

Without any offensive skills, I can’t play the role of a dealer.
I have no choice but to play the role of a tanker.

─ Show it somewhere. The regrets you have, the regrets about life.

Anubis tapped the floor with her staff.
Thump, thump.
The senior warrior took a step with his leg in response.
I felt like the ground was shaking, I was mistaken.

Anyway, it’s a dungeon monster after all.
They exist to be hunted by hunters.
It’s a monster that everyone else catches, but I can’t believe it.

If you think about the 10th floor hunting that will be about 15 days later….
I can’t afford to be embarrassed by a high-ranking warrior.
You should be able to easily defeat the 5th floor dungeon monsters.

I fixed my posture.
Even in front of ‘anubis’ advanced warrior’, he was not scared.

A senior warrior holds a spear and looks down at me.
It has a huge body that is incomparable to that of a low-ranking warrior.
If you simply bump it, you’ll be blown away like you’ve hit an 8-ton truck with a broken steering wheel.

He has to keep his feet on the ground and hold on.
Resolving to do so, I dodged the spear he threw.

* * *

Quaang-! Bang-!
Hwareuk!

The spear of a high-ranking warrior pierced the floor.
The sharp spearheads were stabbing the stone floor.

Park Seon-woo came to his senses.
He did not back down even in front of ‘anubis’ advanced warrior’.
I didn’t have the proper equipment, so I was busy dodging the attack without being able to block it.

Aggro was definitely being pulled.
The senior warrior was doing everything in his power to kill Park Seon-woo.

This was an opportunity.
Members of the 4 training teams performed their respective roles.
After half a year, the proper hunting was carried out.

Clap, clap, clap clap clap-.

Choi Da-eun starts to clap while watching the 4 training teams hunt.
The guys who couldn’t do anything like idiots are finally doing their part in the dungeon.

Especially Park Seon-woo.
It is a great development.
Could she be as moved as this, even if she herself had given birth to her child, and that child had begun to take her toddler?

‘Absolutely not.’

Can’t be expressed in words.
Park Seon-woo, who used to be an asshole, started to understand and follow what people say, but compared to a toddler?
It’s nonsense.

“Kieh!”

Park Seon-woo screams and confronts the advanced warrior.
While avoiding his blade like a ghost, he couldn’t avoid the sudden punch or leg.
It was often knocked against the wall.
Then he jumped out again and charged the senior warrior.

“Sparta!”

Takes a powerful leap toward becoming a high-ranking warrior.
After raising his leg as hard as he could, he kicked the senior warrior in the chest.

Baka-!

Perhaps Park Seon-woo’s strength was unexpectedly strong, but the advanced warrior couldn’t control his body.
Body leaning backwards.
I couldn’t get my upper body back up and I fell.

Coo-!

Park Seon-woo did not miss this opportunity.
He rode on top of a high-ranking warrior and hit them indiscriminately.
Continuous punches from the mount position.

Anubis watched the scene blankly.
Naturally, I thought that a high-ranking warrior would win, but he seems to have underestimated his opponent too much.

The advanced warrior’s movements gradually slowed down.
The guy, who was wriggling to get up somehow, stopped without even lifting a finger.
He is dead

“Hee-eok, hee-eok, hee-eok.”

Park Seon-woo rose from the top of ‘Anubis’s Advanced Warrior’.
He gasped for breath as he brushed the dirt off his body.

“It’s easy.”

I only caught one high-ranking warrior.
However, Park Seon-woo caught Gao as much as he could.
The mindset that if it is not this time, when will I try it.

‘… I’ll see you today.’

It’s still F-class and close to an idiot, but I decided to look after it until today.
Choi Da-eun quietly watched Park Seon-woo’s back.

─ She didn’t know that she would defeat even a high-ranking warrior. The lingering feelings for her life are great.

It’s only a 5-story dungeon.
Even if it was a test, it was not a high-level test.
Because F-rank Hunters are no different from infancy.

‘Top’ had a surprisingly human side.
The proof was that the dungeons on the lower floors were composed of appropriate difficulty levels.
If it wasn’t for such consideration, humans would not have even thought of challenging the ‘top’.

─ Okay, I’ll deal with you myself. This is my final exam

Anubis rose from his throne.
The sand scattered on the floor soared and each formed a soldier.
Sand soldiers who are stronger than lower warriors but weaker than higher ones.

Difficulty increased dramatically.
Is it because it’s a boss monster?
Not.

‘He’s a sand soldier.’

Choi Da-eun knows the answer.
If you use a skill or tool that includes water to neutralize the sand soldiers, you can clear ‘Temple of Anubis’ very easily.

However, it was kept a secret from Team 4.
It’s information that he can give you, but he watched them with anticipation.

“Joe, what a fuck!”

Park Seon-woo looked back.
Choi Da-eun glanced at her eyes and took a posture.

It’s the same as before.
There was no development in thinking.

Oh, is Da-eun Choi still?
So you’re saying we can clear enough on our own?
Okay, Totsugeki.

Park Seon-woo ran towards the sand soldiers with courage.

“Oops! Wait a minute! It was boned!”

The sand soldiers blocked Park Seon-woo’s attack and knocked him down.
And at once he rushed in and lifted his leg.
It’s not a joke, five or six sand soldiers gathered and started to trample Park Seon-woo.

Puck! Puck! Fuck! Puck!

Park Seon-woo curled up with his head wrapped in his arms.
He thought he had to block at least a vital point, so he desperately took a defensive stance.

Looking at Park Seon-woo, Choi Da-eun let out a sigh.
I was hoping it would get better.
The hunting of the 4 training teams came to an end like this again.

I wasn’t angry though.

‘Thinking about a month ago….’

This one was pretty good too.
If he continued to grow, he would be able to accept things like that with great sensitivity.

Choi Da-eun unleashed a thorn whip.
It seems impossible to hunt Anubis, so she decided to go out on her own.
Park Sun-woo’s role ended here.

“Ah! Evil! It hurts, it hurts! Save me, Da-eun!”
“… Fuck this, don’t call me friendly. son of bitch..”

Even when I tried to help, hearing Park Seon-woo’s voice made me angry.
There was no way the tower of hatred built up over half a year would easily collapse.

“It hurts, it hurts!”

Choi Da-eun swung a thorn whip.
The sand soldiers collapsed in unison.

Park Seon-woo, covered with falling sand.
He coughed and spat out the sand in his mouth.

─ It’s not an ordinary living thing.

Anubis glared at Choi Da-eun.
Soon after, the ‘Temple of Anubis’ was attacked.
Even if it was a boss monster, it was only a 5th floor dungeon after all.

It was chewing gum for a C-class Hunter.
