Chapter 73 – Dungeon Exploration by Jena and 3 Others (Party Name Undecided) – 5

It was safe.

It wasn’t completely unharmed. My whole body was sore and shook so much that I couldn’t stand upright.

However, she survived.

Feeling relieved, when she turned her head to the side, all she saw was red blood and pure white bones. It was a shock that took my breath away. I looked up to see if it was Yena, and it was the party members of the Son of Beach.

Because she was a hunter, miraculously her life was attached, but her limbs were grotesquely bent in the way they weren’t supposed to move, and some of her bones protruded through her flesh.

“…Cough, Cough.”

As she turned her head in the direction of the sound, Jena, covered in dirt, was coughing violently. When her eyes met, she let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

“…It’s my unique skill that makes me and my party members invincible for only 5 seconds.”

Before she even asked how she did it, she confided the principle. She was likewise relieved that she had survived the fall without any serious injuries after taking care of Harin and Jiyoon, who woke up coughing.

When Jiyoon saw the seriously injured Son of Beach party member, she was startled and ran away with the medicine chest.

“Leave the wounded to me.”
“Can’t I save it?”

Harin asked softly so only we could hear, but Jiyoon shook her head.

“You have to stay alive. Apologize to Yuna. And since I owe her life, I will correct any nonsense that comes out in the future.”

Harin nodded knowingly, and Jiyoon hurriedly approached them.

Not paying attention to her painful moans, she checked the rifle to see if it had any invulnerability from being attached to her body, and then she stood close to Jena.

“…Looking at the navigator, we are now on the 8th basement floor.”
“The final floor?”
“…Yes.”

The range of the flashlight on her body felt very weak compared to the terribly silent and dark surroundings.

While catching her breath in order not to give in to her pressure, she took out her flare and chemical light and showed them to Jena.

“I will light up.”

Jena nodded and picked up some of her chemical lights with her right hand, which was not holding her shield. Duduk. She threw her chemical light around her, which began to glow with a thud.

The moment when the suffocating darkness dissipates and the light regains its prestige. I could see shining things beyond the pushed darkness. Yena seemed to have noticed her too, so she swallowed her breath and winked at Jiyoon, who was nursing her fallen people, and Harin, who was guarding her.

Jiyoon paused her treatment for a while and moved the fallen people to one side of the wall, while Harin magically created a wind and sent the smell of blood up the collapsed ceiling.

“…How long do you think you can fight?”
“If that’s all you have around, you should be able to leave a couple of magazines. If not, you will have to fight with only a combat knife from the middle.”

After checking the remaining ammunition and grenades, she told Jena. With numbers like this in front of her, she added that fighting with a combat knife wouldn’t last long.

Yena nodded her head and took her stance. The monsters gathered here were looking at us through the light of the chemical light as if a line had been drawn. While continuing the confrontation, not knowing when she would attack, Ji-yoon informed him that the first aid was finished.

“Do you think you can get out?”

She couldn’t bear not to ask. Yena hesitated for a moment, then nodded her head.

“…If it’s too late, the master will come.”

Who is the master? I couldn’t ask back. It was because the monster had advanced as if she had waited long enough.

“Harin. Build a wall of fire on the other side. Yuna reduces the enemy while I hold out.”

Jiyoon took out several potions and staff as if she knew what to do, even without Yena’s instructions.

“I’ll do my best.”

When she proposed to overcome the difference in numbers even a little bit, Jena stood in front of me holding her shield tightly as if entrusting it to me.

I took the fragmentation grenade that was hanging from her chest and pulled out her safety pin. She gave it the fire attribute and threw it towards enemies.

The grenade bounced off the wall once and landed on the tentacles of the jellyfish-shaped monster in the group. Soon, the grenade exploded, and the flying fragments endowed with the fire attribute broke and split the bodies of the monsters.

The battle began in earnest with the monster’s scream.

“Fire. Become a wave and block the enemy!”

Harin narrowed the aisle with fire rising like a wall, and Jiyoon threw the potion she brought and broke it, then threw a seed there. A vine that had grown frighteningly blocked part of the passage. The cooperation of the two reduced the number of enemies entering at once.

The enemy sprinting towards us quickly aimed and fired at what we thought was the main part. The monster that was following stumbled on the body of the monster that had fallen in front of them and fell.

After passing through the obstacles, the monsters that finally arrived in front of us steadily reduced their numbers by striking them with a shield and slashing them with a sword.

In this state, she thought that Yena would be able to endure long enough until she came to the rescue. Suddenly the monsters retreated.

And the cause of our fall to the bottom of the dungeon, which I put off in one corner of my memory, crawled on the cold stone floor with black eyes shining.

I had no intention of leaving it alone until it came. I immediately aimed at the boss’s head and fired a 3-shot. His bullet failed to pierce his thick skull bone, leaving only a red mark.

I pulled out the safety pin of the shrapnel grenade and quickly blew it away with the help of Harin’s wind magic. Iron beads and pieces of iron with fire attributes were poured out with an explosion, but they only hesitated a little. Kept coming

When my attack didn’t do much damage, Harin’s magic poured out. It’s as if she wasn’t sincere until now. She chanted so fast that she couldn’t even hear it properly, and fired magic of various attributes.

Fire roasted passageways, thunderbolts rained down, and wind ripped like knives. The water became a wave and pushed the monster away, and the ground rose like thorns.

The boss wriggled and approached in a bad mood even though he was steadily receiving damage such as his legs being cut off or parts of his body being burned, and his body recovered the moment he stood on the border of the chemical light.

“That guy has the ability to regenerate… Cool..!”

Turning around at the sudden voice, the bald-headed hunter coughed up blood and looked at the boss we were facing.

“Hard… If you don’t break the bones of his skull and destroy the little brain inside him, cuu cu cu cu ca ca! Won’t stop You, still young chicks, will not be able to break the skull…”

The bald-headed Hunter staggered to his feet, using her two-handed hammer as a support, with her head half broken. Blood oozes out of the pure white bandage that was wrapped around the body.

“Stay still! I can’t move!”
“Keck. …Noisy. As a senior, can you lie still when younger juniors are panicking?”

After spitting out blood, he staggered and stood next to Jena. Jena glanced to her side and frowned when she saw her bald-headed hunter, who was in no condition to fight properly.

“…Stop.”
“Huh… From that rain academy.”

The bald-headed hunter ignored Jena’s restraint and pointed at me even in this situation and sarcastically.

“Can you fight to the end with her comrades and die in this situation?”

When we meet at the mid-junction. I can’t believe what Lee said. I’m not even prepared to risk her life. No respect for her colleagues. It seemed to be an extension of the word.

Are you thinking of dying together?

“No.”

I pointed the gun at the boss. The target is the weakest part as long as it is a creature. It was an eyeball.

“I’m going to go out alive and give a shot to arrogant academy hunters like you.”
“Is it…”

I lost interest when I saw her respond by raising a two-handed hammer. She ignited the red smoke and glowing flares and threw them hard. And the moment the flare hit her line of sight, she pulled the trigger.

The flare, which was supposed to burn slowly, collided with the fire-type bullet, causing a violent reaction and being sucked into the boss’ eyes.

A flare that pierced the eyes of the boss emitted sparks from inside the boss’s body, causing the giant squid to dance and sway.

[—–!!!]

The monsters who were watching while holding their breath were flattened by the legs of the squid or slammed into the wall.

“Doesn’t that great regenerative ability not save the pupil?”
“…Puchit.”

At my provocation, Yenna burst into a small laugh. She didn’t know which part aroused Jena’s emotions, but she didn’t feel bad.

“…Yuna. The boss seems to want to dance, but can you make the other eye twinkle too?”
“Of course. But it moves too much, but can you throw it instead?”
“…Okay. I’ll throw it now”

Jena ignited her flare, and she threw it with all her might. She pulled the trigger the moment the fast-flying flares and the twisting eyes of the boss and her muzzle lined up.

[-!!!!!!]

The boss overturned the surroundings with a much more intense dance than before. The monsters who survived the first dance were all turned flat by the rampaging boss in a state where they were blocked and unable to escape.

When the boss, wriggling with pain, couldn’t see anything, she recklessly tried to headbutt us, as if she had decided to crush her with her huge body.
