Episode 142
smart.
Team leader Seo Yong-gil raised his head at the sound of a knock on the door.
“Come in.”
The door opened and an employee came in carrying a thick stack of documents.
Team Leader Seo asked as he carefully placed the bundle of documents he had brought with him in a corner of the desk and was about to leave.
“Is there anything special this morning?”
The employee stopped, thought for a moment, and then opened his mouth.
“Yes, not really… Ah, I received a call about an hour ago that the gate attack was successfully completed.”
“I see. I understand. Go out and keep working.”
“Yes, then.”
The employee said hello and left.
‘It’s a gate.’
Team leader Seo thought.
It was certainly still an important issue.
But now it’s no longer something to make a fuss about like before.
They have been successfully targeting the Lee Sang Gate for three years without any problems.
In addition, this time, the gate will be raided mainly by the Sun Guild, the best guild in the country.
There was nothing more problematic.
Still, after thinking about it, Team Leader Seo found the gate gun in the stack of documents and opened it.
A joint raid between the Sun Guild and the Yangji Guild.
Yangji Guild was also a guild with a fairly good reputation in the industry these days.
As expected, there was no doubt that the gate attack this time would end very smoothly.
Team Leader Seo, who had been skimming through the list of raid members without much thought, suddenly stopped.
“huh?”
The name I saw somewhere was there.
Lee Si-hyeon.
“Why is this person here?”
Team leader Seo muttered to himself as if it were absurd.
Sihyeon was a D-class hunter.
Originally, there was no way a person in that position could remember everything about a D-class hunter.
But I remembered this person clearly.
It had to be that way.
This is because Si-hyeon was always involved in large, memorable events.
So there were times when I carefully observed his virginity.
That’s why he is on the list of Gate Gun Raid members this time.
I knew that he had joined the Yangji Guild.
But I never thought I would participate in this raid.
‘Are you a porter?’
Team leader Seo narrowed his eyes as he looked at the letters written next to Sihyeon’s name.
Certainly, if he was a D-class person, it would be impossible to play any role other than a porter at the gate.
In any case, it was possible for porters to participate.
but… .
Just looking at this person’s name makes me feel uneasy.
A lot has happened in the meantime.
… Surely this time?
‘no.’
Team leader Seo shook his head.
That would be overthinking.
Nothing much has happened in that regard for the past three years.
Besides, no matter how much I thought about this, there was no way it could be a problem.
Team leader Seo closed the document, trying hard to erase Sihyeon’s thoughts.
◈ ◈ ◈
“Guuuuuuuuu!”
The twin-headed ogre screamed with its only remaining head.
This is because the leg was cut off by the sword.
Soon, the huge body of the Twin Head Ogre fell to the ground, having lost the body that could support its large body.
Coo!
Dust was flying and the whole place was shaking.
Sigh!
Without delay, Nam Woo-sik plunged the sword loaded with sword energy into the twin-headed ogre’s neck.
The twinhead ogre’s body convulsed violently for a moment and stopped all movement a moment later.
Even though he successfully defeated the infamous monster Twin Head Ogre, Nam Woo-sik’s expression did not look good.
His body was completely covered in the monster’s blood and soaked.
“Whew.”
His breathing was a little rough as he let out a short sigh.
It was a sign that my stamina was falling.
This has rarely been the case before reaching the boss.

It felt like it was the first time except when I was an immature kid who didn’t know how to control my strength properly.
It was a bad sign that the strongest man in the raid showed signs of fatigue, even if only a little.
At that level, it was obvious that the situation for other guild members would be even worse.
“Keuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
A groan was heard as if the pain was being forcibly endured.
Nam Woo-sik looked back with a stern expression.
There, a guild member whose left arm was torn off by a twin-headed ogre was seen frowning and gritting his teeth, barely enduring the pain.
His face was pale and his body, which had been strained to endure the pain, was trembling.
“…Please just be patient.”
Han Ji-ho bit her lip and healed the wound with her heel.
However, the expressions of the guild members watching were dark.
They all knew.
Even if you are an A-level healer, you are not a god.
It was impossible to reattach a torn arm.
You will have to live with a disability for the rest of your life.
It would be difficult for those around him to imagine how he felt when he suddenly fell from a successful B-class hunter to a disabled person.
“C’mon.”
Someone swore.
The others felt the same way, just without cursing.
Considering what they had been through so far, it was natural to feel that way.
It wasn’t just manticores or twin-headed ogres.
When I was bored, such a super dangerous monster would come out and harass the guild members.
Each time, we had to fight a fierce and fierce battle.
Although they were eventually defeated, the guild members became increasingly exhausted and the number of injured increased.
And finally, a seriously injured person emerged.
The current appearance of the guild members was beyond words.
The armor was dented and broken here and there.
The clothes of the magicians and healers who needed the most protection were covered in dust and torn here and there, so there is nothing more to say.
Not the others, but the first attack team of the Sun Guild.
This is the elite raid team boasted by the industry’s number one guild.
It was hard to imagine them being like this to regular monsters in the field, not even boss monsters.
“Commander of Engineering.”
A-class tanker Heo Ki-taek called Nam Woo-sik. He was the vice-leader of this attack group.
Nam Woo-sik looked at him as if asking what was going on.
“I think we should use items sparingly.”
Because very strong enemies appeared whenever I was bored, I was constantly using various potions and scrolls that were only used on bosses.
Because of this, many of the items prepared have already been used up.
That’s why Heo Gi-taek said that.
“That’s right.”
Nam Woo-sik agreed.
What they were thinking was the same.
If the level of regular monsters is this high, then the boss monsters… .
Emergency items had to be saved just for that time.
“…I should have come with you.”
Someone muttered with a devastated face.
He soon had to face the harsh gaze of his guild members.
It was Han Ji-ho’s insistence to attack separately, but the engineering leader gave permission and the guild members tacitly agreed to it.
Even if I said something I regretted now, my morale would only drop.
“Don’t be weak. We’ve always been the best raid team and we’re still the best.”
Nam Woo-sik spoke in a strong voice.
“Okay, don’t tell me you’re going to die for something like this.”
“If you’re scared, just stay here.”
Other guild members also took turns sighing.
The man who had said something he regretted lowered his head.
Meanwhile, Sujin was sitting in the corner biting her nails with an annoyed expression.
‘Damn, damn, damn.’
What is this?
Even though I joined the Sun Guild and have been raiding ever since, I have never once felt seriously in danger.
Even when dealing with a boss, all you had to do was provide fire support while being protected by a tank from behind.
But just now, I felt a real threat that struck my heart.
If I had been a little late in using my shield, I might have died.
This is because the enemy is so close that it is difficult for the tank to completely protect it.
In such a situation, I had to engage in close combat using magic, which I was completely unfamiliar with.
Because of this, her always clean robes were covered in dust and her forehead was wet with dry sweat.
‘Of course, on the day that person is there.’
She frowned.
I tried to discourage them by showing them a perfect and overwhelming appearance.
I wanted to show that a gate like this was nothing to the raid team of the excellent guild I belonged to.
But that thinking was distorted.
‘No, no.’
Sujin shook her head.
If it’s like this on this side, it’s probably even more miserable on the other side.
I’m probably in a situation where I can’t see even with my eyes open.
If they find us, they will have no choice but to cry out for help like unsightly beggars.
“…Yes, I guess so.”
Sujin seemed to relax a little and smiled, twisting the corner of her mouth.

“We’ll be faster, right?”
Dongil opened his mouth.
“No, wouldn’t you know it if you looked at it now?”
Sihyeon said as if it were absurd.
There, I saw three mutant trolls whose bodies seemed to be twice the size of regular trolls.
And Lin Xue was standing alone in front of him, very calm.
Trolls were very difficult monsters with enormous strength and incredible regenerative abilities.
Most wounds healed immediately and it was not easy to kill him.
However, they seemed to be mutant trolls with even greater power.
It was clear that even large guild raids would have a hard time at that level.
“How long will it take to take that thing down over there?”
Sihyeon asked, pointing at the mutant troll with his finger.
“Ugh… I don’t know anymore, I don’t know. Are they really strong or weak? Aren’t they actually very weak?”
Dong-il shook his head with a very confused look on his face.
“No way.”
The unemployed person next to me said that, but he also looked just as confused.
Sihyeon also acknowledged that it was worth it.
Confusion may arise as you kill manticores, twinhead ogres, and other high-risk monsters as if you were catching goblins.
“Haam.”
The person who caused the confusion, Lin Xue, slightly covered his face with his left hand as if yawning and snapped his fingers with his right hand.
Then, hundreds of ice arrows were created in the air.
It was the very technique she loved to use.
The trolls holding huge clubs paused as if they felt threatened when they saw it.
However, they soon began to rush towards Lin Xue, as if they believed in their incredible regenerative power.
Lin Xue moved his right hand slightly, and ice arrows rained down on the trolls.
and.
“Kwaeeeeek!”
The trolls let out a loud scream.
The ice arrows passed through the trolls’ bodies mercilessly.
In an instant, my entire body became a rag.
“…Look at that, look at that. That’s a class 1 magic, Ice Arrow, right? Their skin must be really weak to be pierced by something like that. So, isn’t that really weak?”
Dongil said with a dumbfounded look on his face.
Troll leather was famous for being hard and tough.
Even a passing dog would laugh if such leather could barely be penetrated by something like Ice Arrow.
“If in doubt, Dong-il can come forward next time.”
Sihyeon said with a grin.
“Heh, no. It looks strong just by looking at it. It looks really strong. Hahahaha, I think we’re going fast.”
Dong-il let out an awkward laugh and slightly looked away.
“…Well, I’m glad I got there before those unlucky bastards who only think about their own interests.”
“I guess I can take a nap boss?”
“A nap! That’s good. I haven’t done anything, but I’m tired, hahaha.”
Dongil smiled and scratched his head.
“What are you doing? Let’s go.”
A girl who works hard alone… Lin Xue, the head of the household, urged the group.
“yes!”
I could definitely feel the comfort of the family members who played and ate in their answers.
It was an atmosphere where anyone could see that they were doing their job very well.
‘If I play around like this, it’ll be hard to get used to the next raid… .’
It was so bad that I even started to worry about it.
‘No, just enjoy the present.’
Sihyeon shook his head with a smile and started walking again.
