Episode 61

Second Cataclysm (6)

In the crystal ball that shows the situation of the KNM guild.

There was Jin Chang-hoo, Kim So-ha, and one monster.

As Jeongdo confirmed through observation before entering the dungeon, there were two types of monsters that appeared in this dungeon.

One is a normal monster, a Kaumka warrior.

The other one is the boss monster, the Kaumka Chieftain.

And the monster seen in the crystal ball now looked different from the Kaumka warriors I had seen so far.

No, the appearance itself was similar, but the size was different.

It looked 1.5 times larger than the Kaumka warriors I had seen so far.

In addition, it has a huge kite shield that covers more than half of its large body.

Even though I couldn’t see it in person, its power seemed to be transmitted beyond the crystal ball.

It was certain. This guy is not normal.

‘Could it be a boss monster?’

That was my first thought, but I quickly shook my head.

The notification window that appeared before breaking the tower and coming here. He had clearly cleared the level 1 mission. This means that there are two stages or even higher stages.

It was unlikely that the boss monster would come out of the first stage mission being carried out by the KNM guild.

So, is it a special entity among common monsters?

‘Is this also a change caused by the second cataclysm?’

A phenomenon that could not be found in existing dungeons. I decided to wait and see the situation for now.

As long as we have S-class tank Jin Chang-hoo, at least we won’t be pushed back.

After a while like that.

‘That’s not good.’

There was no problem with the specialist side. After Sanghee joined, progress was progressing to the point where the word “free pass” was truly appropriate.

But the other side.

As expected, the KNM guild was not pushed back. However, it was not even possible to overpower it. Jeongdo frowned.

‘I don’t have enough deals.’

A mutant(?) Kaumka warrior who uses a shield as his main weapon, just like the Kaumka warrior that Jeongdo fought against.

Of course, its defensive power was extraordinary. No, it seemed to be so strong that it could not be compared to the warrior he had faced.

Even though he was S-rank, tanker Jin Chang-hoo’s attack skills did not do much damage, and A-rank dealer Kim So-ha was even more miserable. Soha Kim was a dealer who used speed as her main weapon. He moved quickly and succeeded in stabbing the sword directly into the body of the Kaumka warrior rather than through the shield, but the damage was limited to a scratch.

However, Jin Changhu’s defense was also strong, so the fight was going to be a long battle. In the end, it was a contest to see who would run out of stamina first. And judging from the fact that Kim So-ha’s scratches healed at a visible speed, it was clear that the Kaumka warrior had the upper hand in physical strength.

As far as I could tell, I looked through the list of supports I could provide.

‘The only thing that seems useful right now is strengthening the attack power of allies.’

It would have been nice if there was an option to weaken the enemy’s defense, but unfortunately, although there was an option to weaken the enemy’s attack power, there was no option to weaken the enemy’s defense. First of all, he consumed two Sun and Moon Souls to strengthen his allies’ attack power.

however.

It was difficult to pierce the shield of the Kaumka warriors. The moment the KNM guild’s attack touched the shield, the jewels embedded in various parts of the shield began to glow and block the attack. And Kim So-ha’s attack, which succeeded in avoiding the shield, only resulted in a slightly larger scratch and had a minimal impact on the battle.

Kim Soha’s performance was so poor that one wonders how she became A-list. She only had decent speed and everything else was subpar.

But this was somewhat of an illusion. In fact, Kim Soha’s level is respectable even among A-listers. Before I knew it, Kim So-ha’s skills had improved to a level where she seemed frustrated.

‘If only I could go there!’

I was confident that I could plunge a spear into the head of a Kaumka warrior if I had such a great tank supporting me reliably in front. But unfortunately, there are currently 20 monogamous marriages. It was 10 short for metastasis.

“ah… ”

Inside the crystal ball, Jin Changhu delivered a heavy blow, but it was blocked by the shield again. The jewel on the shield glowed and blocked it again. At least I could have easily won if I didn’t have that shield.

“for a moment… shield?”

And jewelry?

At some point, I suddenly thought about it and took out an item from my inventory.

The shield he got from the Kaumka warrior he first defeated.

“It’s here too.”

Just as Jeongdo said, the shield he had just taken out had several jewels embedded in it, like a shield in a crystal ball.

“Sun Moon Hon.”

It was definitely true. The jewel embedded in the shield had the same shape as the Sun Moon Soul that had been offered on the altar so far.

‘Then perhaps!’

Jeongdo hurriedly placed the remaining 20 monogamous souls and shield on the altar and closed his eyes.

“do!”

The transfer command, which had not been activated due to a lack of Sun Moon Soul, was activated. Without hesitation, Jeongdo lay down on the altar and used transference.

* * * * * *

Pee it!

Kim So-ha’s sword once again grazed the body of the Khaumka warrior.

Yes, it was literally a grazing wound. It wasn’t a wound that would affect the battle at all. Although it was an attack made with some force. Kim Soha spit out an expletive without even realizing it.

“Holy shit… ”

How did this happen?

When Seo Sang-hee of the association requested cooperation from the KNM guild, he volunteered before anyone else. And he allowed it because he thought it was an opportunity to create a good image within the guild. Of course, the reason he applied had nothing to do with that reputation.

Sanghee Seo.

This was the woman who kicked his confession three times.

The initial rejection was refreshing. Because that was the first time I had the experience of not being able to achieve something in my life. She was the first woman he could not catch, with her looks, ability, and family. But Kim So-ha did not give up.

The second time I was rejected, I felt embarrassed.

From the beginning, I thought that the first rejection was just a normal throw away. However, she politely declined the confession with an expressionless face. She was very shocking to Kim Soha.

The third time I was rejected, I felt angry.

no? why? What are you lacking? Of course, Sanghee was an S-level user and he was an A-level user, but he was still young. A promising player who is certain to reach S-level someday. Are you rejecting me like that? She couldn’t tolerate it so she poured out her anger and threats on her.

She just listened quietly to the story. She then sighed and asked me to go to her quiet place and talk alone.

‘It’s over.’

Soha Kim thought so. When she found herself alone with a woman, there was not a single woman she could not capture. She was the same whether that person was a popular idol in the entertainment industry or the only daughter of a big name in the political world.

however.

When he followed Sanghee into the place, the first thing that greeted him was Sanghee’s small fist.

“Kek.”

The blow hit me square in the solar plexus, and I had no choice but to let out an ugly scream and fall down. And after that, I was really beaten up. I was beaten to dust on a rainy day.

And after a while.

Sanghee huffed and said to Kim Soha, as if her anger wasn’t going away.

“Damn it. It’s sad that I’m getting old, but now the little bastard is acting manipulative. hey. “Am I easy?”

Muong.

That one word was the final blow.

It was a really childish, cliché, and no longer relevant story.

‘You’re the first woman to treat me like this!’

The dashes I’ve made to her so far have been half jokes.

Kim So-ha truly fell in love with Sang-hee like that.

So, in order to get closer to her, I supported this dangerous expedition. Of course, it was surprising that her guild put her through a long process to improve her own image.

‘Well, whatever.’

He may be a little difficult to deal with, but he is definitely strong. She knows that Jin Chang-hu is participating in this expedition because of her, and wouldn’t she think better of herself? It was an expedition she participated in with that thought in mind.

“… “This is eleven.”

The monster in front of me didn’t look tired at all. No, on the contrary, the person who is hitting me is getting tired.

“Kim Soha! “Aim for the heart from the back!”

‘shit. Easier said than done.’

I bit my lip in response to Jin Chang-hoo’s urging. Even if he quickly turned around and struck him, his attack power did nothing but scratch him. However, if you collect mana for a moment to deliver a powerful blow, the monster notices and swings its shield at you.

“ah. Damn it for real!”

This is because of this guy who is doing something. If he had teamed up with Sanghee instead of that guy when he first formed the team, this situation wouldn’t have come about. If she didn’t do anything, let alone get close to her, she would end up dead here.

“Calm down. “What is this because of that dog-bone bastard!”

I knew it was a really shitty thing to do, but I just couldn’t bear it without blaming someone.

And then.

“thing. I’m sorry for being such an asshole. Move aside. “You can’t see it.”

“huh?”

Kim So-ha, who was attacking a Kaumka warrior from behind, turned around when he heard a sound coming from behind him.

Whick!

He felt a presence quickly passing by him. Her speed is so fast that even Kim Soha, who is well-versed in speed, can barely react. Kim So-ha noticed that the being ran towards her monster and she looked towards the monster.

“… uh?”

The scene caught in Kim So-ha’s eyes.

The monster that treated his attacks like mosquitoes until now.

It was falling apart with numerous holes in its back.

“Whew. done.”

There was also a man holding a Bangcheonhwageuk and looking at the falling monster.

* * * * * *

Jeongdo thought as he looked at the corpse of the Kaumka warrior at his feet.

‘I was lucky.’

Coincidentally, the place he was transferred to was on the back of a Kaumka warrior. Perhaps it was because Jin Chang-hu in the front was attracting aggro from the Kaumka warriors, or perhaps because he judged Kim So-ha at the back to be something that could be ignored, the Kaumka warrior’s back was defenseless.

As soon as he saw that, he unleashed the greatest attack he could.

A combination of Changryongbo and Ho bombardment.

The distance was just right. When charging into Changryongbo, the Khaumka warrior was located at the point where the maximum speed could be achieved. In addition to this speed, if you successfully hit the gunfire, you will be able to take down that guy.

The moment Do-do made up his mind and activated the two skills, an unexpected notification appeared before his eyes.

Tiring!

<The skill combination was successful. You have mastered the dragon attack!>

‘what? Skill combination?!’

The skill was activated before I could fully understand the extent of it.

Shupaat!

Jeongdo rushed at a faster speed than the Changryongbo he normally used and caught up with the Kaumka warrior in an instant. And the ensuing bombardment also had such force that the person using it was surprised.

“Kaaaaah!!!”

The blade of the spear covered with blue steel made the back of the Kaumka warrior into a honeycomb. It was such a vain ending that you can’t even think of a monster that had held on so firmly until now.

And when the Kaumka warrior fell, Jeong Do and Jin Chang-hu, who were standing behind the Kaumka warrior, met their gazes. He looked very surprised when the monster, which had been resistant to attacks no matter how hard he tried, suddenly collapsed.

“hello?”

I felt embarrassed for no reason so I said hello first. Changhu spoke to Jeongdo with a still surprised expression on his face.

“… “Can you please explain the situation?”

“yes. Sure. therefore… ”

Jeong-do explained what he had experienced so far to Jin Chang-hoo and Kim So-ha, who came next to him. Their team cleared the first stage of the mission and discovered a device that could provide support to other teams, so they came to support them. He also explained that Sun Moon Soul is needed to operate the device.

And after finishing the explanation, Jin Chang-hoo opened his mouth.

“This is truly amazing. “I can’t believe I was able to find the strategy for a mission-type dungeon in such a short period of time.”

“I was lucky.”

It was literally like that. Who would have known that <Communication> and <Game> would create a mission-type dungeon strategy? However, Changhu shook his head when he heard those words.

“It’s impossible just to be lucky. Doesn’t this fallen monster prove it?”

The corpse of a gigantic Kaumka warrior. It was a proud result achieved through sheer strength. Jin Chang-hu bowed his head to Jeong Do.

“Thank you for your help. And I’m sorry, but can I ask you to guide me now? “I think someone who has experienced it once will have a better direction.”

“Sure. “Just trust me.”

Jeongdo smiled and agreed with Changhu. Of course, as Changhu thought, it was not a mission he had experienced before so he knew the way.

<Navigation is activated. We begin guiding you to the Kaumka village.>

After all, the strategy book existed.

So Jeongdo and Changhu. And after the brief explanation, Soha Kim, who had somehow remained silent, set out on her journey again.
