Episode 10
I felt a sense of discomfort while casting heal towards the front on Kang Jin-hyeok.
I looked around to see what was going on, and I found a baseball bat crawling out of my inventory on its own.
Kang Jin-hyeok was able to realize from past experience that this phenomenon did not occur without a reason.
“What’s nearby?”
Kang Jin-hyeok quickly grabbed the baseball bat and looked around carefully.
Thanks to the bat’s ability to sense presence, Kang Jin-hyeok was able to vaguely sense the enemy’s location.
Kang Jin-hyeok swung his bat as soon as he saw a part of his field of vision rippling like a mist.
“Eek!”
The lizardman, camouflaged in protective coloration, screamed with a sunken face.
The surrounding lizardmen who saw that sight were so startled that they revealed their original colors.
“omg!”
“A monster came all the way here?!”
The clerics became lost in thought as they discovered a group of monsters appearing right next to them.
The Titan Hunters who were fighting in front seemed to be busy chasing Andoyoon, who had suddenly rushed out.
They had no idea that there was a group of monsters attacking them from behind.
Kang Jin-hyeok shouted at the panicked clerics, telling them not to worry.
“I’ll take care of those guys, so you guys just focus on healing!”
The clerics who heard those words jumped with surprise.
“You’re going to stop that by yourself?”
“It’s a crowd!”
Even if I roughly counted them by eye, there were more than 20 of them.
It was tantamount to suicide for a cleric to take on something that even dealer-type hunters had difficulty stopping.
“We’d rather help you!”
“If we fight together, something will work out!”
The clerics thought that if they held out while healing each other, they would be able to prevent a surprise attack.
But that method could never be a solution.
“If that happens, all the hunters in front will die. Even if the heal is delayed by just a little bit, their blood will start to drain away.”
“Well, still… … .”
“I’m saying this because I’m confident. Don’t worry and just focus on what you’re doing.”
Kang Jin-hyeok said confidently, then grabbed the bat and ran towards the lizardmen.
The clerics who had been half-believing and half-doubting witnessed Kang Jin-hyeok crush the lizardman’s head with a single swing and gathered their ranks again.
“How can a cleric hunt like that… … .”
“Now, don’t look away! Let’s focus on healing as he said!”
“yes!”
As the Cleric began to heal the Hunters, the Lizardmen moved to somehow stop him.
But once Kang Jin-hyeok blocked the path, the lizardmen could no longer move forward.
“Where!”
The head of the lizardman who had been forcibly thrown forward was crushed like clay the moment the baseball bat struck him.
The lizardmen’s morale plummeted as they watched their comrades die before their eyes without even being able to scream.
How can you not be able to defeat even one enemy despite their overwhelming numbers?
Some of the lizardmen could not bear the humiliation and rushed forward.
Five or six of them swung their swords at the same time, thinking that they could rush in all at once, but not a single one of them reached their target.
Kang Jin-hyeok moved his body quickly and soon found himself back at the lizardman’s side.
With his confidence boosted by his previous battles, he moved forward without hesitation and swung his bat.
“Kkieek!”
The lizardman, who had been hit in the side, fell down, tangled with his comrades who had rushed at him.
While Kang Jin-hyeok was breaking the heads of the fallen lizardmen one by one, one lizardman gritted its teeth and attempted a surprise attack.
The lizardman, who stabbed the tip of his sword into Kang Jin-hyeok’s back, smiled in satisfaction.
However, contrary to expectations, the opponent who was hit by the sword did not fall down bleeding.
“Squeak?”
Kang Jin-hyeok hit the head of the lizardman, who was looking bewildered, with a bat.
Then he frowned and stroked the area where he had been hit by the sword with his hand.
“Hey, f*ck, this is gonna sting.”
Thanks to the chainmail armor he received from the dwarf, which he wore underneath his clothes, the damage Kang Jin-hyeok received was limited to bruises at most.
“Squeak!”
The lizardmen, seeing that he was safe even after being hit by the sword, ran away without looking back.
Even the monster realized in its head that it had no chance of winning if it tried to attack any further.
The clerics watched the scene and could not help but be amazed.
“Wow… … You really stopped it all by yourself.”
“Is that person really a cleric?”
The clerics were surprised that a hunter of their own profession was showing the kind of performance they would expect from a B-class or higher dealer.
In particular, the sight of beating up monsters with just a baseball bat left a stronger impression than hunting them using flashy skills.
Clerics weren’t the only ones who watched Kang Jin-hyeok’s activities with interest.
S-class hunter ‘Seo Sang-ho’, who rushed over after finishing the raid, also didn’t miss his appearance.
“Andoyoon survived thanks to that cleric.”
If Kang Jin-hyeok had not stopped the lizardmen from following behind, the clerics would have been annihilated.
It’s obvious what would have happened to the Titan Hunters who lost their Cleric.

“Should I try doing some work too?”
Seo Sang-ho, who was watching the situation from a distance, warmed up his body with light stretching.
And then he leaped forward in one breath and landed in the center of the group of lizardmen.
There was no way for the Lizardmen to deal with Seo Sang-ho, who flew over a distance of over 200m in 3 seconds and fell like a shell.
bang!
As soon as I landed, there was a loud noise and the surroundings shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
The Titan Hunters cheered when they saw the flashy appearance of Seo Sang-ho.
“It’s the guild leader!”
While everyone was happy that they were now alive, Andoyoon alone had a trembling expression.
He asked his colleague next to him in an irritated voice.
“Who called the guild leader?”
“I called you right away when the incident happened. It’s not a problem to ask for help from your guildmates.”
“… … Doing useless things.”
I could have done it without that person.
Andoyoon seemed to want to say that.
But no one admitted it.
If the one who took command could not stand it and collapsed the camp first, who would believe and follow him?
Unlike Ahn Do-yoon, Seo Sang-ho did not act alone.
Even though he had enough skills, Seo Sang-ho first took care of those who were tired and pushed out.
“I’ll make way for you, so those with 50% stamina, fall back!”
Seo Sang-ho shouted loudly and then filled his fist with aura.
The Lizardmen were literally torn apart as the 4th job advancement of the counselor, the Emperor of Power, turned the front line upside down with a fist strike.
“What is that all of a sudden… … !”
Kang Jin-hyeok stared with his mouth open at the scene unfolding right before his eyes.
“It seems like the S-class hunter Seo Sang-ho has arrived!”
“Seo Sang-ho? Are you talking about the leader of the Titan guild?”
“Yes! I can go home now.”
That’s the strength of an S-class hunter.
Kang Jin-hyeok was greatly impressed by the sight of him turning the tide of the battle on his own.
Compared to my skills, I could feel that I still had a long way to go.
And I also began to have the expectation that one day I could become that strong.
Seo Sang-ho, who had sorted out the situation 15 minutes after appearing, counted the corpses of the lizardmen scattered everywhere.
Even if you estimate by eye, there are at least 300 or more.
Even if you use clerics as mercenaries, it is not a scale that can be handled by bringing in new recruits.
“Andoyoon, you crazy b*tch.”
Seo Sang-ho realized that it was a mistake to appoint the vice-guild leader based on performance.
He approached Andoyoon, who was hunched over, and grabbed him by the collar.
“What were you thinking, trying to solve this on your own without even calling for reinforcements? Did you plan on dying together?”
“If we ask for help in that situation, the guild’s reputation will be… … .”
“It’s probably because you don’t want to lose face, not the guild’s!”
Seo Sang-ho was displeased with Ahn Do-yoon’s attitude of trying to achieve results by excluding hunters from other groups.
The executives had been keeping quiet for a while, saying that it was a great benefit to the guild, but now they could no longer tolerate it.
I never thought that, being in charge of new employees, I would cause a crisis like this just for the sake of saving face.
It would have been better if he had conducted calmly until the end, but Andoyoon gave up even that.
Seo Sang-ho realized that it was useless to say anything to this kind of person.
Seo Sang-ho frowned and let go of Ahn Do-yoon’s collar.
“I’m not going to let this go, so go back and wait for the outcome.”
“No, what did I do wrong? It was just bad luck that caused this.”
“This X guy is really… … .”
Seo Sang-hoon almost threw a punch at any moment, but he barely held himself back after seeing the gazes of those around him.
Beating up the guild leader in front of a lot of people only caused discord within the guild.
As someone in charge of a large guild, it was my duty to prioritize the situation over personal feelings.
“ha.”
Seo Sang-ho sighed and calmed down.
One of the Titan Hunters, noticing the serious atmosphere, spoke up to change the subject.
“Guild Master. First, let’s reward the clerics who helped us.”
“Oh, right. I almost forgot.”
Seo Sang-ho thought of Kang Jin-hyeok, who was active against the lizardmen.
He walked directly to where the clerics were gathered and expressed his gratitude.
“Thank you for your help. Without you, it would have been a big accident.”
Kang Jin-hyeok couldn’t believe that the Titan guild leader was bowing 90 degrees to express his gratitude.
I used to think that all the people in the big guilds were arrogant, but it seems that wasn’t the case.
There was another surprising thing.
Seo Sang-ho approached Kang Jin-hyeok and extended his hand first to shake his hand.
“I saw you single-handedly take on the Lizardmen who came attacking you. You were quite skilled.”
“Oh, yes.”
Kang Jin-hyeok took Seo Sang-ho’s hand with a bewildered expression.
“If you don’t mind, may I ask your name?”
“My name is Kang Jin-hyeok….”
“Do you belong to any guild?”
“No, not yet.”
“Then how about our guild? Of course we will waive the entrance fee.”
Kang Jin-hyeok looked bewildered by the sudden suggestion.
An S-class hunter personally recommended it. It was something I couldn’t believe even after experiencing it myself.
“You’re letting this human join the guild?”
Ando Yoon intervened before Kang Jin Hyuk could even open his mouth.
He remembered the face of Kang Jin-hyeok, who had protested to him just a few days ago about monopolizing the monsters.
It was unacceptable to allow a low-ranking hunter who had no skills and just whined to join the prestigious Titan.
And more than anything, it was a huge blow to my pride that I had received help from a hunter who was not even worth a single penny.
“What makes this guy so great that he makes such a suggestion?”
Seo Sang-ho was tested to see how far a person’s patience can go.
I was so angry that someone who was already acting all quiet was even making a fuss.
‘I can’t stand it, I can’t stand it, no, f*ck, I can’t stand this.’
Finally, Seo Sang-ho spoke with the veins in his neck rising.
“I’m the one who cleaned up the shit you made behind my back, you fucking piece of shit-filled b*tch!”
All the hunters present were shocked by the sight of the guild leader hurling verbal abuse at the vice-guild leader in a loud voice.
Kang Jin-hyeok looked at the scene with amusement.
The sight of a hunter who had once even stabbed himself in the back being jointed by his superior was a sight I wanted to watch with popcorn in my hand.
How can I make this atmosphere more exciting?
After much thought, Kang Jin-hyeok opened his mouth with a smile.
“Thank you for the offer, but I really don’t want to join a guild with people like that.”
The moment Andoyoon heard those words, his eyes rolled back.
It was so frustrating to be ignored by the guild leader in front of other people.
I couldn’t stand it when even a hunter I had never heard of said something like that.
“Know your topic and keep talking, you piece of shit!”
Ando Yoon stretched out his hand as if he was going to slap Kang Jin Hyuk in the face.
Seo Sang-ho saw it and tried to stop it, but there was something moving faster than him.
The one who fell backwards with the sound of a crashing piece of metal was not Kang Jin-hyeok, but Ahn Do-yoon.
“Oh my… … .”
Kang Jin-hyeok swung reflexively as soon as the bat sensed a threat.
Normally, Andoyoon would be able to avoid such attacks.
Now, Andoyoon’s stamina and MP were at rock bottom due to the long battle.
In the meantime, I was hit with all my might by a bat with durability S enchanted on it, so there was no way I could endure it.
‘A class A hunter was knocked out by a human like me? This is a scoop.’
As expected, everyone around them took out their phones and started taking pictures of Ando Yoon without saying who would do it first.
In probably less than 10 minutes, this incident will be posted on all kinds of communities and become a hot topic.
Kang Jin-hyeok chuckled as he put the red baseball bat into his inventory.
