Chapter 184 – Demonmancer, Not Summoner

The two new members I brought with me were also women, so the atmosphere felt a bit chilly.

“It’s Sunggyu.”

Park Tae-ri said.

“Yes, talk. I will be out for a while.”

Han Soo-bin stood up.

“Let’s go together.”

So, I went outside the cafe with Han Soo-bin this time and sat looking up at the sky.

“You are amazing.”

Han Soo-bin said to me.

“Where are you getting them from?”
“Where is it… It’s a fate. Precious.”
“There are only seven precious ties with women… I know.”

Han Soo-bin said that and she said nothing more.
My throat felt stuffy for some reason.
I wish I had something to explain, but I couldn’t have that.

‘Come to think of it.’

Unlike other women, she met Han Soo-bin without a special relationship.
Rather, would you say this one feels fresher?

On the one hand, she thought that maybe it was no coincidence that she had known her.
For some reason, it feels like something is going to happen through her.

However, the quest has not yet responded through Han Soo-bin.

About 10 minutes passed so frustratingly.

Eana Kim opened the cafe door and gestured.

“Sunggyu-ya, it’s enough now, so come in.”

I went back to the table.
And fortunately, when I went back, the atmosphere there was somewhat organized.

Park Tae-ri said admiringly.

“You brought great people to the party.”

Kim Ga-eun was a professor at Gaon Academy.
And she was a first-class hunter with excellent telekinesis.
I haven’t yet seen her show off her abilities in earnest, but it was something I could guess just by looking at her information window.

Besides, if she wants to become a professor at Gaon Academy, a hunter of a tolerable level can’t even give her a business card.
The professors were talented enough to run a guild.

They each had a story or they chose this path because they liked teaching more than playing in the field.
Therefore, there was no need to doubt Kim Ga-eun’s ability at all.

And Lee Seung-ah.
I wondered how she introduced herself.

Park Tae-ri said.

“One is a professor, and that is Gaon Academy. And the other one is that rare sorcerer… He really gained a lot of power? Both of you are A-level.”
“Ah yes.”

Lee Seung-ah seemed to introduce herself as a summoner and class A.
I wasn’t sure how long this secret could go unnoticed, but I wondered if it would be better to talk about it and move on for now.

If you suddenly say that an S-class or a demon magician has entered the party, there may be some confusion.

Anyway, while I was looking at the sky outside, the greetings all seemed to have ended.
We started talking in more detail.

The B-class dungeon to be conquered tomorrow is a dungeon that has been around for a long time, so a lot of data has been accumulated so far.
It means that it was not that difficult for us to prepare for the attack.

Besides, since I had the experience of clearing a dungeon once before, it was easy to come up with formations and strategies.
If there’s a variable there, it’s the two newly added people.

Kim Ga-eun, who uses telekinesis, and Lee Seung-ah, who uses summoning.

Since they were to be supported in the middle range and back, the party was more well-balanced than before.

“Then let’s wrap up here for today and see you tomorrow.”

As the party leader, I announced the dissolution of the meeting.

#

It’s Saturday.
The party members all gathered in front of the B-class dungeon that they decided to attack on time.
The other members already had the experience of entering a dungeon once last week, so they seemed fine, but Lee Seung-ah was full of worries.

I approached her and asked

“Are you okay, Seung-ah? To be honest, with this member, even B-level dungeons are too easy. Don’t worry, just relax as if you were on a field trip today.”
“The field trip… But I have to do my part as well. There’s no point in coming to the dungeon together if you’re just following them around.”
“I understand your feelings, sister. But that means you don’t have to push yourself too hard today. My sister is new to dungeons. You won’t come to the dungeon just today, so you can do it for two or even three people later.”

These are not empty words, but Lee Seung-ah will be very active in the future.
Above all, she is an S-class Hunter.
After long research, she has mastered the art of summoning demons to a certain level, and has recently made significant progress in it.

So, what was left for her was to freely unleash her own potential as she built up her experience step by step.

To be honest, I’m used to this role.
I have been in the guild for 15 years, and for some reason my juniors tend to rely on me, so I took on a lot of roles taking care of the less experienced juniors in the dungeon, whether I wanted to or not.

We entered the dungeon together and proceeded with the raid in an orderly formation as we did last time.

The B-class dungeon was definitely much more difficult than the C-class dungeon I entered last time.
Still, the number of members increased by two, and from the beginning, each member’s individual skill was good, so there was no blockage in attacking.

After about 6 hours of attacking, the end of the attack finally began to appear.
The place we entered was the second floor of the dungeon.

I judged the number of monsters on the 1st floor to be too small, and deliberately avoided the 3rd floor and above considering the level of difficulty.
No matter how successful the last raid was, this is the second party raid, so there shouldn’t be any mistakes.

That was the reason why I chose the second floor, which was considered suitable for travelling.

It was a time when I wanted this attack to end without too much trouble.
Park Eun-ha, who was acting as a guide, suddenly let out a loud scream.

“Kyaaaaah!”

When she looked at her startled sound, she saw a monster of a type she had never seen before, holding her back in the six hours of raiding.
It was a reptile-type monster with black spots on its green body.

‘Why is he here…’

Because I had researched this dungeon beforehand, I knew that monsters wouldn’t appear on the second floor.
The monster’s name is Ekitai.

So, it was the boss monster of this dungeon.
The reason why he was supposed to be on the top floor was here, of course, because he wasn’t the real boss here.

It is the same species as the dungeon boss, but slightly different.

Sport.

In this way, there were often cases where mutant monsters suddenly appeared.
If it was a monster that had been created a long time ago, it would have gone to where it should be on its own, but it was clear that this monster had just been born.
He was also born on the second floor.

Park Eun-ha appeared from an unexpected place – above her head – so she couldn’t react and grabbed her leg.

Its teeth are very sharp, and if he is bitten by them, he is poisoned with a terrible poison.

“It’s a galaxy!”

Me, Han Soo-bin, and Kim Ea-na shot arrows at him.

Whoop, whoop, whoop,

However, the ekitai variant was so nimble that it twisted its body to avoid it.

My vigilance increased, and I started running through the dungeon at random while holding Park Eun-ha’s legs.

“Shit!”

Although unexpected situations like this often happen in dungeons, I hoped that they would never happen, at least during our party’s raid.

“Catch! You have to catch it!”
“Hey Eunha! You must never bite him!”

It was when he was playing hide-and-seek with monsters like that.

Suddenly Kurrung, the surroundings vibrated.

When he turned his head to see what was going on, Lee Seung-ah was drawing a magic circle in the air with his stick.
A familiar demon he had seen twice before was coming out of that magic circle.

Lee Seung-ah reposes the name.

The red devil with one horn recently signed a master-servant contract with Lee Seung-ah.
And he has been given permission to operate in this world.

Lee Seung-ah exclaimed.

“Kill him! And we have to save him!”

“Keeik!”

The demon raised a high voice as if it understood the command.

Lipos flapped his wings and flew away quickly.
Certainly, the movements of demons were different from those of human hunters.
In particular, because he was able to fly in the sky by flapping his wings, he easily caught up with the unpredictable movements of monsters.

Lipos snatched the Ekitai variant from the air with his claws.
As I held onto his shoulders and tightened his claws, black blood began to flow from the monster’s shoulders.

“Kikiiik!”

He screamed in pain, and in the end, he had no choice but to let Park Eun-ha go.
Then the demon grabbed the monster’s head and bit it with its teeth.

Kwajik!

It wasn’t just a single bite, but it started to gnaw on the guy’s head with its teeth.

Munching munching,

There was no way to describe it other than that it was a demon.
