How to Survive as a Player Chapter 18

#18

Jaeyoung Lee’s frowning expression as he tried to overcome his fear and the sight of him pulling the trigger with his trembling fingertips came into view in great detail.

no.

Sehyun couldn’t even blink because she felt like what would happen to Jaeyoung Lee if she took her eyes off him. His dry saliva passed, and his heart pounded uncontrollably. The moment his hardened and trembling fingertips twitched, Se-hyeon gritted his teeth and raised his bow for Lee Jae-young.

[You have acquired ‘Fear Resistance LV.1’.]

There was no time to check what was in front of my eyes. In order to save Lee Jae-young, Se-hyeon pushed aside the fear and moved, and shot the arrow while trembling and gritting her teeth.

I didn’t overcome it. It was something I endured.

Kwaduk-!

As if all night’s training had not been in vain, the arrow fired in haste without any time to apply skills stuck close to the area Sehyeon had intended to aim for. Near the neck where the buds are waving.

Keek! Kkeek-!

When the arrow flew in with a thud, the sharp claws that were pointing at Lee Jae-young changed direction and headed toward Mokuldae, where the arrow was inserted. The arrow of Lee Jae-young, who pulled the trigger, was lodged between the eyebrows of the monster that was scratching its neck with her fingertips.

Only after seeing the two monsters rolling around gasping for breath was Sehyeon able to let out his breath. My vision turned red and I was out of breath.

Even though it wasn’t over yet, I felt weak, perhaps because I thought I had passed the crisis. Unlike Se-hyeon, Jae-young Lee was moving towards the monster to take his last breath.

However, it was not Lee Jae-young who took the last breath of the monster, but the three men who were trembling and hugging each other from behind.

“Ugh!!”

“die! “You f*cking bastards!”

“Rain, get out of the way!”

The men who pushed Jaeyoung Lee’s shoulders and rushed at him began using their skills to stab and beat the monster. After hitting them with all their might for a few minutes, the monsters soon rolled their eyes out and died. The corpse of the dead monster, with its tongue removed, soon turned into black ash and was scattered into the air as if blown by the wind.

In the place where the monster was, there were two red magic stones the size of fingernails. The three men who had killed the monster, sweating profusely, flopped down in their seats as soon as they saw it.

“Brother, don’t overdo it.”

Sehyun’s gaze shifted to my side. Lee Jae-young was looking up at Se-hyeon with a calm look, her face color not changing at all. Calm eyes blinked as they looked at Sehyun.

“Jaeyoung, how did you… .”

“uh? uh… . Me, that… ah! I have fear resistance skills! Yes, fear resistance has been there from the beginning. So it was okay, yeah.”

There were many doubtful parts to believe, but Se-hyeon did not want to doubt Lee Jae-young. It was Lee Jae-young who jumped out and fought before anyone else, and it was Lee Jae-young who made Se-hyeon move.

Sehyeon admitted that I had been complacent about monsters. The monster was not that strong. He was rather weak. However, the moment I faced the reality, I was so overwhelmed by life and pressure that I couldn’t do anything.

There was a bigger difference between what I saw on the screen and what I felt with my own skin than I thought. I was so overcome with fear that it became a trauma, and my body was still shaking. It almost felt like Jaeyoung Lee was amazing.

Suddenly, I finally realized how my vassals, whom I had randomly thrown into the dungeon in the past, felt. At this level, okay. In the beginning, it was enough to stage a coup and purge the king.

“Take care of the magic stone… “Let’s go again.”

“Should I just stand in front? “I think it’ll be okay if you’re behind me too.”

“Thank you, Jaeyoung. But I’m okay now.”

Lee Jae-young’s gaze turned to Se-hyeon’s fingertips. However, Jaeyoung Lee nodded quietly without saying anything. It was a moment when I was grateful for the child’s consideration.

“I’ll take the magic stone and go back. “You can go, right?”

Sehyeon spoke to the men who were still sitting down. The men, startled by Sehyun’s words, were about to say something, but then looked at him and stood up hesitantly. He was the first to step back, which was a natural action for people with shame.

“I’m sorry.”

“… “I told you it was impossible for us to do that.”

“I-I…” My stomach hurts… .”

“We will take the lead, so please attack us later. I don’t expect much. “Let’s just get back safely.”

Passing by people scratching the back of their heads with embarrassed expressions, Sehyeon adjusted his bow. In fact, if Sehyun wasn’t Jaeyoung Lee, he had no idea what would have happened by now.

Sehyun called out the stat window in a whisper. When I looked at the stat window, I saw that a skill called <Fear Resistance LV.1> had appeared in the passive skill list. If she just gets up to level 2, she won’t be as scared, even though she won’t be able to move as quickly as Lee Jae-young.

“I’m going.”

Sehyun turned off the stat window and walked ahead, side by side with Jaeyoung Lee. As I went further into the cave, I could hear the sound of wind from somewhere.

I followed the sound of the wind and left a mark on the floor. When about 20 more minutes passed, everyone encountered the two bat-shaped monsters again. To be exact, Jaeyoung Lee found out the location of the monster first.

Still, he said he got the hang of it after dealing with him once, and this time, Sehyun first shot an arrow covered with <Purification’s Fall LV.1> and blew off the head of the bat-shaped monster.

Before the figure of the first monster exploded with a bang and disappeared into ashes, Lee Jae-young ran with a crossbow, raised his claws, and hit an arrow in one of the eyes of the second monster that flew in. Sehyeon’s arrow was once again lodged in the monster’s mouth, which was screaming grotesquely.

The monster was pierced twice more in the forehead and died on the spot while screaming. Even in Sehyun’s opinion, it was a very quick and smooth move for a first attack. So much so that he thought it was a good idea to make bows and crossbows.

Of course, everything was made possible thanks to Lee Jae-young’s quick actions. Although it was puzzling that he didn’t have the slightest fear, everything was explained by ‘resistance’.

The ability to find monsters and the way they dig into them without hesitation. Accurate firing ability. There was a high possibility that Lee Jae-young was more into combat than Se-hyeon thought.

So I thought there was nothing to worry about. At this rate, the number of monsters in the dungeon was not that large, and although it was a flying type, its intelligence was low, so its combat ability was not very high.

Wouldn’t this be okay?

There were three people behind me who couldn’t help me, but I thought that if I kept my head straight, I would be able to wake up easily. She certainly might have been. If only the people following comfortably behind me knew a little more about their own abilities.

Our thoughts began to diverge when we faced a three-way fork in order to obtain the final 10th magic stone.

“First, let’s leave a mark.”

“If I just keep doing this, I think I can clear it, right? Hey bro. “If you clear it, the village chief will give you something?”

“I will give it to you! “I called Group 2 yesterday and asked about compensation.”

“Besides, we haven’t hurt anyone yet!”

“I’m going to get just one more thing and go right back, so wake up from your dreams.”

Sehyun, who was examining the point where the wind came from by putting needles on her finger, spoke in a passing voice. The men who had been chattering excitedly at those words distorted their faces.

“No, you’re going to come all the way here and just leave?”

“Oh, we can help too. “Think again.”

“Okay, let’s get ready to move. “I’ll leave once I get the last magic stone, so you guys try your best together.”

The magic recovery potion was slowly running out. Now there are only three left. The recovery of magical power was slow, so I had to safely eat another one before the next monster appeared. While thinking about it, Sehyun took out a magic recovery potion from her inventory and drank it down.

“Brother, should I give you mine too? “I haven’t written anything yet.”

“are you okay. If you just grab a bunch, there’s no problem. Save it and eat it later when you need it. Don’t just give it to me, okay? Don’t give it to me even if you ask for it. “I don’t give you things like this.”

Jaeyoung Lee rolled his eyes and belatedly shook his head. Only after seeing that, did Sehyun put the empty bottle in her inventory and head towards the rightmost path among the three paths.

The cave had a structure that became increasingly wider. I kept hearing fussing from behind, but I completely ignored it. After about 10 minutes, Lee Jae-young pricked up his ears.

“There are three, no, four in front. however… uh… weird. There’s something mixed up… ?”

Jaeyoung Lee tilted his head and narrowed his eyes. Although it was only for a moment, Sehyun saw Jaeyoung Lee’s eyes turn bright red. It disappeared in the blink of an eye, but its eyes were torn apart like a monster.

“Mixed? “Tell me more, Jaeyoung.”

“brother… But I don’t know either. The three in front are actually bats… I feel something different, but it’s vague. It feels like it’s there, but it’s not there… Are you sleeping? “Oh, I guess he’s sleeping.”

Jaeyoung Lee spoke with an exclamation as if he had reached a conclusion. Of course, Sehyun didn’t understand most of what he said.

“All you have to do is get rid of the three, bro. Then it’s okay. Yes, it looks like I’m sleeping.”

“Isn’t it dangerous? Or go back somewhere else.”

“It’s okay if you come out right away. And uh… It’s the same everywhere else. There are all oysters next to each other, and they occupy each one and sleep there. But I’m sleeping well so I’ll be fine. “I just have to deal with the three wandering around.”
