How to Survive as a Player Chapter 19

#19

He spoke with such confidence that Sehyun had no choice but to believe it. He thought about giving up and going back, but he couldn’t ignore the quota when he returned unscathed. Moreover, Group 2 even cleared the first floor of the dungeon yesterday and came back with no results.

If you don’t want to be pointed at and compared, it would be better to fill the quota of 10 magic stones and return.

“let’s go.”

After making up her mind, Sehyeon walked slowly, pulling the arrow on the bowstring. Because bats sense magic faster than expected, I did not use the skill in advance.

After walking a few steps, a space made of a circular dome came into view at the end of the winding road. As Jaeyoung Lee said, there were three bats gathered there and circling the dome-like space as if scouting.

Sehyeon aimed at the closest one and fired <Purification’s Fall LV.1>. As soon as they heard an explosion sound, the two monsters turned to look at Sehyun.

The one who jumped out first was Lee Jae-young. Lee Jae-young, with the crossbow firmly fixed to his shoulder, tumbled and followed the path of the flying bat. When the monster raised its claws and began to descend, he pulled the trigger in succession, aiming at the heart and abdomen.

The crossbow now has 4 arrows. We had to see the outcome in it.

Unfortunately, the first shot did not reach the distance and missed. However, the arrow that flew next pierced the solar plexus and chest of the monster within shooting range.

Keekeeek-!

A terrible scream filled the cavity. Jaeyoung Lee looked around with a somewhat nervous expression, aimed at the monster’s eyes, and fired his last shot. The arrow hit the monster’s left eye and penetrated his eye, rupturing his brain.

This was the result achieved before the monster landed. The monster turned into black ash and scattered with the wind.

On the other hand, Se-hyeon pulled the bowstring again as soon as Lee Jae-young jumped out. In order to divert the attention of the other guy who was looking at Jaeyoung Lee, he deliberately fired an arrow at the monster’s feet.

The gaze was successfully turned to Sehyeon. The monster turned its gaze, opened its mouth wide, flapped its wings, and flew towards Sehyeon. Sehyeon dodged by rolling his body diagonally and immediately hooked an arrow onto the bowstring and pulled.

The place where the arrow was fired was at the back of the monster’s neck. The monster let out a sound and began to struggle as he stretched out his hand to pull out the arrow.

Without missing the opportunity, Sehyun loaded the arrow again, used the skill, pulled the bowstring to its limit, and shot.

My back muscles tightened, and my shoulders felt stiff. Unlike when I was at the training center, I was not able to recover, and my body was already exhausted from the countless arrow shots. The tip of his finger, which had been holding the arrow’s arrow, was completely shriveled and torn. However, I couldn’t even feel the pain due to his tension.

The arrow passed right through the monster’s head and lodged in the wall. Immediately after that, the monster’s head exploded with a crackling sound, and its collapsed body turned into black ash and scattered.

As the monster’s body disappeared and the magic stone was revealed, the phrase I had longed for came into view. It was news about leveling up.

[You have leveled up.]

[You have acquired fear resistance LV.2.]

Perhaps Jaeyoung Lee has already reached LV.2. Since he killed more monsters than Se-hyeon and his eyesight and speed increased at some point, it was likely that he did it a couple of hours ago. Maybe he has already reached level 3.

“Brother, I think we should leave quickly. “I just saw signs that the noise was going to wake me up.”

I don’t know what ‘that’ is, but seeing Lee Jae-young, who had never been agitated since coming here, talk so anxiously, there was a high possibility that it was a dangerous monster. Or a boss or something. Although it was strange that there were three of them, Sehyeon decided to avoid the place first.

“Okay, let’s go out. Come here, Jaeyoung. “You’re not hurt anywhere, right?”

“huh. But wow… Brother’s finger… .”

“No, I don’t understand why they don’t do more when they handle it so easily?”

“okay. “They said we would help them too.”

“Come on, think about it some more. If we give up here, we will become worse than Group 2, so what will happen then? Don’t do that, help us. huh?”

In an instant, three men blocked Sehyun’s path. Se-hyun and Lee Jae-young, who came all this way without saying anything, seemed like very generous people because they didn’t move out of the way even though they were being watched a lot. No, actually, I acted like a pushover.

“Why are you all so greedy? “We don’t plan on doing anything more, so you can do it among yourselves.”

“No, you guys can do enough, so why are you leaving it out like that?”

“What, what? Huh… .”

“Don’t do that, we have plenty of time, so let’s just stay a little longer. “We picked up most of the magic stones.”

Se-hyeon stopped Jae-young Lee, who was trying to step forward, and grabbed the bow instead. Then he pulled out an arrow from the quiver on his thigh and pointed it right in front of their noses.

“If you don’t want to get your head hurt, you’d better get out of the way. “No matter what happens here, the monster is largely to blame, so think about it carefully.”

They said that if you kill someone and blame it on the monster, it will be over. At those words, the men’s faces became thoughtful.

“No, there’s no need to go that far… .”

“Get out of the way.”

“Well, I don’t know what’s so urgent… “Let’s put down the bow first and talk for a bit.”

“Brother, we have to get out quickly!”

Lee Jae-young urgently grabbed Se-hyeon’s sleeve. Lee Jae-young’s eyes wandered all over the cave. My eyes were trembling. As soon as he saw that, Sehyun lowered his bow and pushed past his men.

No, I tried to do that. Until the men put their strength on their back foot and grabbed Sehyeon.

“Well, then hand over all the magic stones to us. I’m sick of living like this now. I’m sick of it… . You guys fight well. uh? We don’t know when we will die. So give it up just once. “The Archduke will take care of it.”

“brother! Where are you going, you bastards! “Let go of your brother right now!”

“It’s not about what we do! “Just give me the magic stones, just the magic stones!”

“The Archduke… “Did you order it?”

Sehyun asked, pulling her arm out of the men’s grasp. I wondered what had blinded him to come out like this, but he seemed to vaguely understand. Why are they doing this?

They had been targeting the magic stone from the beginning. And Se-hyun and Lee Jae-young would have wanted to die here.

“We can’t talk, but we’re doing this because we all have good intentions. They are still young. They are good at shooting arrows, have a higher survival rate than us, and are trusted by the village chief. we… no. No. So please save us.”

“brother! We have to get out quickly! hurry… !”

“Okay, let go of this! I need to get out of here quickly… !”

I don’t know if the combat world’s strength was originally this strong, or if it was because Sehyun was the weakest, but I couldn’t shake off the hands clinging to my arms. Lee Jae-young, who was tearing off his men’s arms, sat down holding his head as if his head was hurting.

The men did not let go of their arms despite Sehyeon’s single shout. Rather, he groped his body as if he wanted to take the magic stone first. When his hand, which had been searching here and there, reached for the small pocket tied to his waist, someone looked behind Sehyeon and muttered as if possessed.

Those were words that made my heart sink.

“That… what… ?”

Everyone’s eyes turned to Sehyeon as he reached into his pocket. Jaeyoung Lee was still sitting down with his head in both hands. Sudden change in air. The moment I felt that, everything became quiet.

I couldn’t even hear or feel breathing. What I felt through my skin was a creepy sensation that sent shivers down my spine.

Something was watching this way. My instincts whispered that I shouldn’t look. On the contrary, he kept urging me to look at the opposite s*x. Pushing away the instinct that caused conflict, Sehyun barely raised her gaze and looked at where everyone was looking with trembling eyes.

It was a pure white creature from head to toe. It was three times larger than other bat monsters, and had pitch-black eyes of unknown depth.

Albino.

Yes, it was an albino. The sight of him turning his head as if curious about what he was doing wasn’t very threatening. However, the moment it straightened its tilted head and opened its mouth to smile, everyone was gripped by an uncontrollable fear.

Jaeyoung Lee was the same. The moment of death that was constantly replayed in their heads took everyone’s breath away as eerily as the torn corner of the monster’s mouth. The monster’s curved back straightened with a popping sound. At that moment, everyone barely came to their senses in a fleeting eternity.

Of course, I wasn’t in my right mind. The first thing that came out was a scream.

“Aaaah!!”

“Aaaah!!”

“Aaaah!!”

The three men, whose pupils were blown out of fear, trembled and fell to the ground on their buttocks. But, determined to survive, he turned over and began to crawl away, scratching the floor. A foul smell reached the tip of her nose. Despite the foul smell that soaked the floor, the men showed their determination to live, shedding tears and snot.

Despite this, the albino monster did not move a single inch. As if his prey had already been decided, he didn’t even look towards his men. Eventually, as the screams grew distant and the men disappeared from sight, the monster’s black eyes changed.

The pupil was slit to the side like a goat’s eye, and the eye was horribly curved.
