Teresa said that she had to hunt iron ore golems for the equipment crafting quest and that she had her own way of doing it.
Even though you and your friend, who are dealer warriors, are not tanks, you can perform a tank-like role with the skills of “Knockback” and “Drain.”
Of course, I know that our hunting efficiency will be lower than that of other parties, so I will give you half of the loot that our party gets.
“… So, even if you lose a little bit in experience, you’ll be able to earn more money. Okay? Please help me. I’ve been here for three days because of this quest.”
Teresa’s expression was one of desperation, filled with the sadness of rejection over the years.
I waited for Dojin’s next words with a nervous heart, wondering if I would be rejected this time too.
“Okay. We’re leaving anyway, so let’s go right now.”
“Huh? That, that means you’re going with us?”
Teresa was loading up a new card for persuasion, offering to even cover the cost of the potion if he tried to refuse.
But Dojin accepted it too easily, and said he had no reason to waste time, so he immediately cleaned up and got up.
“W-Why so urgently?”
Teresa stands up and asks, still hesitant.
It seemed like he wasn’t able to adapt to the sudden turn of events.
Dojin said to her like that.
“Doing this is all a waste of time and loss of experience.”
“That’s… true. Then just wait a moment. I’ll call the other party members!”
“Oh, before that.”
Dojin’s call as if something had come to mind.
Teresa stopped in her tracks as if trying to run.
“There’s something I’d like to try out while hunting. Could you help me with just that?”
The answer that came back was, of course, yes.
* * *
After exchanging brief greetings and names, Dojin asked what he needed to confirm.
“Do you have the skills “Shatter Strike” and “Shock Sword”?”
Each was a question directed at Teresa and Sangsu.
Sangsu nodded first.
“It’s an essential skill for inspectors from the beginning, so I learned it. I used it quite a lot, so I’m quite proficient at it.”
“Me too! It’s an essential skill for a hammer warrior, so I kept using it.”
Teresa also answered, holding out her battle hammer.
“But are their skills important? They won’t work anyway. Even if your magic is different, their attacks won’t even hurt the monsters here.”
Aside from Soso, who asked the question, Sangsu and Teresa also looked curious.
Why are you asking about their ‘attack skills’?
Dojin answered with a smile.
“You’ll know it when you see it.”
As we walked and talked, we soon found ourselves at the entrance to a closed iron ore mine.
* * *
The inside of the mine was filled with noise.
The sound of each party’s tanks dragging monsters around.
The sound of a wizard using magic to wipe out a group of monsters.
Sometimes it’s the screams of a party that gets tangled up in their path and gets wiped out.
“Tch! What are you going to do with your aim like that! If I had been a little later, I would have been killed too!”
“Tank, please drag the monsters to the designated location properly. Don’t keep letting them drift like that. If the wizards and healers get swept away, we’ll all be wiped out. Yes?”
In addition to that, there was a lot of blaming and swearing.
It was a completely different atmosphere from instance dungeons where independent spaces are created for each individual or party.
“This way.”
Dojin led the hesitant party members to find a suitable spot.
All eyes are focused on them.
In hunting grounds where tanks are essential, a team with no shield bearers and members carrying battle hammers and longswords stands out.
“What is that refreshing combination?”
“Do they even have hammer-shaped shields these days?”
“It’s obvious, it’s obvious. He must have joined a party without tanks because he was flirting with pretty girls. Those worker bees are a bigger problem than the queen bee, the problem. Anyway, his face is probably all messed up with customization.”
Words said with a snickering smile.
Because of the loud noise, their conversation could not reach Dojin and his group, but their mocking gazes alone could tell what they meant.
“Don’t be discouraged. What do those guys say that makes you feel discouraged?”
It was the moment when Soso got annoyed at the sight of Teresa, who was hiding in the hammer and looking crushed.
A clump of stones arose nearby.
An iron ore golem was created.
The thing made of a mixture of stone and iron recognized the nearest enemy as soon as it raised its large body.
“Wizard, step back! We’ll take care of it!”
As soon as she saw that, Teresa lunged forward.
So the constant also spirals.
Kwang.
The iron ore golem’s fist clashed with Teresa’s hammer.
Then, they move away from each other as if they were being hit by something.
It was the effect of the “Kick Out” skill.
However, the iron ore golem, which had excellent physical defense and resistance, easily escaped the impact.
The attack continues before Teresa can pull herself together.

This time, Sangsu tried to deflect the iron ore golem’s heavy fist with his longsword held diagonally using “Drift”.
At that moment, Dojin’s magic was completed.
It is a remarkably fast casting speed compared to same level wizards.
《The Curse of Softening》
The cursed 2-star spell “Curse of Softening”.
A very basic curse spell that literally turns something hard into something soft and lowers the opponent’s defense passed through the golem.
Cock.
The longsword, which was slanted to deflect the attack, was stuck in the iron ore golem’s wrist.
“uh?”
Sangsu was startled.
Of course, it should have been a hit and sparks should have flown, but the taste was so different.
The inexperienced inspector was shocked by the unexpected situation and the sword that had stuck in his body.
The next attack by the iron ore golem that dug into the gap.
“Sangsu!”
Surprised, Teresa moved.
The hammer he swung instinctively struck the golem’s shoulder.
Kwaang. Pubbug.
Then, the golem’s shoulder and even its chest shattered as if it was collapsing, and the broken pieces flew towards Sangsu.
Sangsu, who was suddenly hit by a rain of stones and iron, let out a groan of bewilderment, but it was only minor damage compared to being directly exposed to the golem’s fist.
The iron ore golem fell down with a heavy “Kwoong” sound and soon shattered into pieces of iron ore, returning to its original form.
“… … .”
“… … .”
The two people stared blankly at each other, unable to adapt to the situation.
“Uh… Were they originally like this… … ?”
“It wasn’t like this when I came in before… … ?”
Others who were watching the Dojin party were also surprised.
“Hey, what’s that? What’s that? It crushes iron ore golems like butter?”
“Crazy! At what level does a golem need to be to be destroyed with one blow of a hammer?”
Could it be that he used some special skill?
No, that’s definitely a high level.
That’s not it either. Looking at the equipment, the level is similar to ours.
There are a lot of speculations going on.
Even Teresa, who sent the iron ore golem to the underworld with her battle hammer, doesn’t know how she did it.
In the midst of all this, it was Soso who roughly grasped the situation.
“What do you think this guy is doing?”
At Soso’s words, Sangsu and Teresa’s heads turned towards Dojin at a frightening speed.
“Ah, as expected. The magic struck the moment I hit it with the hammer. I was so nervous that I didn’t even see it. Haha.”
“No, I didn’t see it either. Wow… Even though I know their attack power isn’t that high, it was still dizzying to see such a huge fist flying right in front of me.”
Soso sighed as she watched the two idiots laughing and saying, “Now I know.”
“Excuse me? Explain to me. Did you do something? There was some kind of black smoke billowing from that big guy.”
“It’s just a curse. I tried it to see if it would work, and it does. The effects are even better than I imagined.”
Dojin looked at his hands as if he was surprised himself and made an admiring face.
Unlike anyone else, his acting skills were at the peak of his ingenuity.
“Ah… …! This is what you were trying out earlier? But the curse… isn’t it incredibly sweet?”
As Teresa said, curse magic consumes a lot of mana.
But there’s a secret here: a significant amount of the mana consumed goes into penetrating the magic resistance of the target being cursed.
In other words, if the opponent’s defense is weak, it becomes easier to break through, which means the amount of mana consumed also decreases.
‘And iron ore golems have no resistance to magic at all.’
It has no barrier to break through, and no minimal resistance to reduce the effects of the curse it has been placed on.
What would happen if we put some kind of curse on an iron ore golem that would reduce its defense?
Even the physical defense that was once a source of pride falls without any end.
But it’s a hassle to explain these circumstances and principles one by one.
At that time, it was more profitable to catch one more.
“Compared to range magic, the mana efficiency doesn’t seem that bad… Wouldn’t it be better to hunt like this? We’re not in a position to drive monsters as much as other parties.”
There was no opposition.
Sosoya, I was of the opinion that it was okay to just go with the flow.
Teresa and Sangsu were the type of people who wanted to deal with Dill rather than Tank.
From the beginning, it was tilted toward further expansion of power.
“Since the Inspector is the fastest, you should be the one who drives the team. As for the Warrior, you should be the one who takes care of the curses I cast right away. This way, the Healer will probably have less of a burden. If you drive the team without a tank, dangerous situations can arise.”
The party members moved according to Dojin’s instructions.
In a situation where it was unclear who should lead, and everyone was watching each other closely, Dojin was naturally considered the leader of the party as he was given reasonable instructions.
Once the direction was set and the horses began to move according to Dojin’s instructions, the hunt went smoothly.
“Teresaaaa! I’m dying!”
If you keep joking around, Sangsu will bring down the mob.
《The Curse of the Lotus》
Dojin cast a curse.
When a thick cloud of smoke enveloped the golems and then dispersed, Teresa saw it and prepared to swing her war hammer around like a baseball player.
“Whoaaah!”
He swung his sword, making a sound that was hard to tell if it was a scream or a shout.
《Shatter》
Then, with a “kwaang” sound, part of the golem explodes, sweeping away the golems behind it.
A warrior’s attack power that focuses on strength and attack power, even choosing a large battle hammer specialized for one-hit kills.
When Teresa crushes the battle line with a heavy attack, Sangsu, who was the driver, changes his role to a sub-dealer and helps with the finish.
Soso heals and buffs them to replenish their lost health and stamina.
Compared to other parties, the number of enemies caught at once was smaller, but the overall speed and stability were much higher.
The sight of the Dojin party hunting in a completely different way, and actually killing far more monsters in the same amount of time, drew people’s attention in a different direction than the initial ridicule and mockery.
