Chapter 74 – Dungeon Exploration by Jena and 3 Others (Party Name Undecided) – 6

The boss in the shape of a giant squid had its leg burned and shrunk due to the barrier of fire activated by Harin. Then, unable to cross the vine made by Jiyoon, he fell unsightly.

Looking at the wriggling boss, I came up with a solution to try before seeking outside support.

“I think I could take it down if I put the muzzle in its weak point and shoot it at the head, or put a grenade in it. What do you think?”

Even while looking around to ask for opinions, the hand that had been trained repeatedly removed the empty magazine and inserted the new magazine properly without wasting it.

“…Do you think you’re okay?”
“I am against it.”

Yena’s positive reaction and Jiyoon’s negative reaction flew at the same time. When Yena glanced at Ji-yoon as if to tell her first, Ji-yoon looked at her slanderer and continued her words.

“Your opponent has lost an eye right now, right? Wouldn’t it be better to make a sound and induce it elsewhere and then create a situation where the seriously injured person is safe? If you get caught up in a fight, you won’t be able to escape.”

As soon as Jiyoon finished speaking, the wounded suddenly began to grunt and try to get themselves up.

“Why are you doing that all of a sudden?”
“If we get in the way, we’ll avoid it.”
“Because I don’t like grabbing my ankles…”

With a staggering gait, he squeezed himself into a gap in the rock. It was in a corner, so the aftermath of the fight didn’t seem to reach it.

After Jiyoon stomp his feet to heal the wound, he asked him several times not to move on his own this time.

“How about I make grilled squid with magic here?”

As Harin pointed her staff at the still struggling Squid Boss, she confidently suggested.

“I thought about that too, but I think if I fail first, then Harin will take care of it. In a situation like this, isn’t it better to conserve magic power?”

When I pointed out that other monsters living in the dungeon might invade, Harin lightly clicked his tongue and agreed that I attack the boss first.

Finally, when she looked at Miami, the bald-headed hunter, he made an expression that he did not expect to ask his opinion.

“Yeah… See all the enchanted bullets and grenades? That would work. I’ll do the distraction by getting close.”

She volunteered for the most difficult part of her body. She didn’t intend to forgive me for criticizing me that much, so she replied with a silent nod.

As if waiting for us to finish planning, the Squid Boss stood up and stretched out in all directions wriggling his eerie legs.

Yena, who was at the front, hit the approaching bridge with her shield, and the bald-headed hunter was crushed with a hammer, while Harin and Jiyoon moved nimbly to avoid it.

The squid boss rushed towards Jena and the bald-headed hunter, who sensed it with her legs in a bizarre form with her eyes emitting light from flares.

Jena did not overdo it and stepped back behind her, blocking her legs with her shield and cutting them off with her sword. The bald-headed hunter held on by herself, wielding her noticeably slower two-handed hammer.

He waited for an opportunity with her upper body bent, then jumped out in front of her, aiming for the moment when her attack on Jena stopped. I ran as hard as I could and kicked the stone floor as a runway.

As the still-uncut squid legs wriggled out of her, as if she felt a stream of air, and as she tried to shoot, Jenna slapped her shield with the hilt of her sword from behind her and shouted.

“…Here it is!”

The squid boss, stimulated by Jena’s cry, screamed and moved its huge body.

The moment I thought that if I made a mistake because I moved faster than expected, I might not be able to get on top of the boss. The bald-headed hunter swung the two-handed hammer vigorously into the face of the squid boss.

“I am here too! Oops!”

The two-handed hammer that collided with the hard boss’s skull couldn’t overcome the impact and slammed at the hilt. And a cracking sound was heard.

The attacked squid boss stopped moving by grabbing the bare-headed hunter who attacked her closest instead of Jena by her leg. Then he began to tighten himself so hard that his body was crushed.

“Turn it off…!”

Thanks to the bald-headed hunter, the gliding body was able to fall right in front of the squid boss’s face. I dodged the flying leg reflexively because it touched her body and put the muzzle into the eyes that could see the faint flare.

I didn’t do anything that puts a lot of energy like in a cartoon movie. Instead, she deliberately pointed her gun at what her brain might be and pulled her trigger hard.

There was a scraping sound like her chainsaw, and Squid Boss shook like crazy. When her empty rifle rang out, she quickly reloaded and repeated the action.

Even though there were no bullets left, the squid boss was still alive. Bored with her tenacious life force, he slung his rifle behind his back and drew a pistol from its holster.

I aimed it at the opposite eye of the rifle and fired all the bullets until the pistol ran out with fully automatic fire.

I even used all the combat knives I brought, but the squid boss wriggled persistently as if he could recover if he didn’t really break his brain.

As she pulled out her shrapnel grenade, her last resort, Jena, who had been watching her movements from a distance, approached and opened her arms.

“…Throw and jump!”

She pulls out the grenade’s safety pin and stabs the tattered squid boss in the face. And she believed Jena and threw her body towards her floor. As soon as she caught hold of her body, she laid down her shield and lay flat.

Tinnitus was heard along with the sound of an explosion.

As her surroundings quieted down and her heat dissipated, Jena first peeked at her face over her shield, then raised the corner of her mouth.

“…Great job.”

She followed Jena and poked her face over her shield to find the giant squid boss’s head hanging limp, half blown off. It didn’t look like it was playing.

“Oh, who is that bald-headed man?”

She looked around her, wondering if she might have been caught in the explosion, and she pushed aside the charred squid leg and crawled out from under it.

“The rotten new chicks… Cough.”
“…I wonder if I owed my life to that new chick and survived?”

When Jena spoke in a pungent way on behalf of all of us, the bald-headed hunter let out a deep sigh without retorting.

At that time. I could see the shadow of a person falling from the first floor of the dungeon to the bottom here. I tried to close my eyes, imagining the horrors that would soon follow, but as I got closer, I saw familiar black hair and golden eyes.

This spin is thump. With a sound, he landed on the floor in a cool pose like a scene in a hero movie.

“Hey guys! Are you all right?”

Before we could even answer, he came quickly and touched our faces, tummy, or buttocks…!

“What are you doing!”

As the excessive physical contact continued, the heat rose to his face. When I made a loud noise, Ispin gave me a relieved expression and hugged me tightly.

“Great job. Was it very difficult?”

While he hesitated, not being able to respond to her heartfelt consolation, Lee Spin did the same to Yena, Harin, and Jiyoon, making sure that she was not hurt anywhere.

She thought it was a day she was simply trying to match, but it turned out to be a really hectic day before the sudden confrontation and boss.

.
..
…

With Ispin’s help, everyone quickly moved to the dungeon entrance. All party members were seriously injured, and Son of Beach was loaded into a waiting ambulance and taken to the hospital.

The confrontation did not fizzle out as the bald hunter openly declared their defeat before being evacuated.

The hunters, who were trying to repulse, saw the charred and smashed corpse of the squid boss that Ispin had painstakingly dragged from below, and shut her mouth while making a trembling expression.

“If in doubt, there is also a body cam that captures the subjugation. Does anyone else have any objection besides the corpse?”

When Harin shouted with an eager expression on her face, as if to raise an objection, the hunters who witnessed a different scene grumbled and withdrew.

In the meantime, I had suspected that Ispin had some hidden skills, but looking at what he showed today, I doubted whether he was a class A hunter who hid his identity.

I had the feeling that even if I asked him what his true identity was, he wouldn’t answer. Later, when they got closer, she made a note in her mind that she would ask.

When the case was over, she moved to the Hunter Association using the car she had been riding with. She submitted all the evidence of hunting the boss along with the reconnaissance information Yena wrote.

And today, I thought we were disbanding, but Ispin suggested that we hold a party to commemorate the success of her first mission as a formal party.

Hearing that he would allow me to drink as much beer as I wanted, my stomach growled, irritated by the smell of grilled squid all day long.

I nodded while holding back my shame, and all of them went back to the Hunter office without exception.
