[Episode 15] Ace Party (1) >
“Ugh!”
Seo Ye-jin woke up groaning in pain.
“Are you okay, Yejin?”
“yes…”
I waited for a while, but the system notification that I had hunted a mid-level vampire did not appear.
There were two possibilities.
One is when the guy who inhaled the poison gas dies, but there is no citizen there or Seo Ye-jin’s mouse that shares the same senses, so the settlement is not made.
The other is if the guy isn’t dead.
however.
[You have hunted a low-level vampire (Lv. 28).]
[You have hunted a low-level vampire (Lv. 29).]
Judging from the fact that messages were still coming in about hunting low-level vampires, it was clear that the area was under the influence of the Home Corner area.
This means that even if there were no people with separate citizenship, hunting monsters would have resulted in settlement.
‘It wasn’t that far from the extended area!’
What this means, unfortunately, is that of the two possibilities, the latter is more likely.
There were three mid-level vampires there.
‘I couldn’t kill a single one of them.’
It seemed that only a few low-level vampires, who were slow to react, inhaled the poison gas.
‘What a pity’
If possible, I wanted to handle it all when there was no information on this side.
Now they probably know that poison gas is quite dangerous, and that it is mice that create the poison gas.
‘I wonder if I’ll be able to stay locked in a closed space again.’
If there are mice around, they will react sensitively.
‘I guess I can change my base’
He spoke to Seo Ye-jin, who was sweating profusely.
“Yejin, could you please just check if they move to another place?”
“Okay, phew.”
“Don’t overdo it.”
“yes.”
Still, thanks to Yoo Hye-rin’s poison gas, we were able to deal with quite a few vampires.
Now all that’s left are the guys who were in the conference room we last saw.
But they were all at a level that could be called elite.
‘There’s only one party that can handle them!’
Hadonggun party.
Without them, it would be difficult to deal with these guys without causing any damage.
‘I could send the mice again, but then the burden on Seo Ye-jin would be too great.’
These guys have already been through it once.
If he found a mouse, he might grit his teeth and run at it.
Considering that Seo Ye-jin suffered significant mental damage every time a mouse died, it wasn’t a strategy she could just try again.
While Seo Ye-jin was observing their movements, I decided to check out the state of Ha Dong-gun’s party.
‘The Eyes of the Absolute’
First of all, we confirmed the appearance of Ha Dong-geon, the leader.
“Whew. Whoosh.”
He was working out at the gym.
Next to him was Kim Ga-young, wearing leggings.
Considering that I had been cooped up at home the whole time since I came back from Jangjeon-dong, it was a very positive sign.
‘It’s gotten a lot better’
Even though he had a blank expression, it felt like deep sadness was filling his eyes, but now that atmosphere had been greatly diluted.
I guess it’s thanks to Kim Ga-young being by my side.
‘thank god.’
I watched them for a while.
“What do you think the weight is?”
“It’s much lighter than I thought.”
“…This is light?”
It was true that Hadong Geon was in good shape, but the weight he was lifting with that relaxed expression on his face was a whopping 350kg.
Bench press 350kg.
It was a realm that was nearly impossible for ordinary humans to reach.
Even if there were a human being who could lift this, he would have a body that would be at the top of the 8 billion population.
Even so, you can’t say that a weight of 350 kg is ‘too light’.
His physical abilities, which had reached level 45, were far beyond human limits.
“You try it too.”
“…I?”
“I’ll help you.”
“uh?”
Kim Ga-young, who had been looking at Ha Dong-geon, who had gotten up with an indifferent expression, let out a small sigh and lay down on the bench press.
It seemed like the intention was to just mix it up rather than really lift it up.
Kim Ga-young held the barbell and Ha Dong-geon assisted her.

“Are you ready?”
“huh.”
“Get started.”
“hmm.”
Kim Ga-young gave strength to Ha Dong-geon by matching his rhythm.
“uh?”
Surprisingly, the heavy barbell with the plates hanging from it was lifted by her hands. Kim Ga-young’s arms didn’t even tremble slightly.
Kim Ga-young blankly stared at the barbell she had lifted, then looked at Ha Dong-geon.
“Is that what you’re holding?”
“no.”
“Don’t joke around.”
“It’s true.”
With those words, Hadong Geon let go of the barbell.
“for a moment?”
Kim Ga-young lowered the barbell and then lifted it again.
And then he simply expressed his impressions.
“…Is this true?”
“I was surprised too. I didn’t know it would be this much.”
Although lower level than Ha Dong-geon, Kim Ga-yeong was also a monster who reached level 40.
Even in her case, her abilities were maximized in areas such as eyesight and agility rather than strength.
Yet, he is demonstrating strength that far surpasses that of an ordinary human being.
“Do you know why I said it was light?”
“…Yeah. It was true.”
That was when.
“What on earth are you guys?”
“yes?”
An old man came up to them and spoke to them with a shocked expression on his face.
Although only one man spoke directly to Ha Dong-geon, everyone in the gym was currently focused on him.
“Is this like a hidden camera? Is this fake?”
The man pointed at the barbell with an expression of disbelief.
“Can I hear it once?”
“It might be dangerous.”
“No, I just can’t believe it.”
The man who had been throwing a tantrum ended up lying down on the bench.
and.
“Ugh! Ugh!”
He blushed bright red and struggled to lift the barbell.
But Babel didn’t budge.
Even though his body itself was thicker than Ha Dong-geon’s.
The man lowered his head, his face turning pale.
—
“I’m sorry for doubting you.”
Hadong Geon accepted the apology with a smile.
“it’s okay.”
Looking at that sight, I thought.
‘Looks like you’re ready now’
After confirming that Hadonggun’s condition was good, I checked on the other party members’ conditions.
Kang Deok-su and Kim Geon, who were depressed and drunk, were hunting goblins together.
Five or six goblins rushed toward them, and Kang Deok-su shouted.
“Get up!”
Kang Deok-su’s skill proficiency was increasing beautifully.
A knight appeared right in front of the goblin and swung his halberd.
Crunch!
A goblin’s head was blown off in one blow.
At the same time, the steel knights that had emerged from behind the goblin thrust their halberds into the goblin’s torso.
“Kkieek!”
The movements of the steel knights were also much more natural than before.
Kang Deok-su wasn’t the only one whose ability to utilize skills developed.
Caaaak!
A crow that had grown even larger flew through the narrow cave and pounced on a goblin.
Without Kim Gun having to do anything, the crows had grown larger and were steadily reducing the number of goblins.
‘No need to worry!’
The effect of forcibly taking Kang Deok-su to the goblin den was better than expected.
Kim Geon-do, who had been drinking with them in despair, had also come out of his drinking binge and gone out for a quick hunt.
It was a sight to see two people, one at level 45 and one at level 40, warming up by training goblins that were barely level 10, but just the fact that they were hunting together was encouraging.
Kang Deok-su spoke to Kim Geon.
“how is it?”
“…It’s okay.”
“It’s been a while since you’ve been out, are you okay?”
“A walk to the goblin den? Your hobby is annoying, senior.”
“Hahaha! Okay, okay. But doesn’t that feel good?”
Kim Gun smiled faintly as he watched the goblin break his neck.
—
“It’s not bad. It’s been a while since I’ve hunted, so the black cat and the kids seem to like it.”
Although the dungeon was too low for their level, it was perfect for a change of pace.
Kim Gun said.
—
“Senior, shall we go hunting for the first time in a while?”
Kang Deok-su tilted his head and answered.
“Hunting? If it’s hunting, then it’s still going on.”
“….I mean, not this goblin hunting, but proper hunting. Actually, I haven’t been drinking all this time.”
Kim Geon smiled meaningfully and then whistled.
Whee!
Then a blackbird flew towards him.
Kang Deok-su, who had been watching the scene without much thought, was startled when he saw that the blackbird was getting faster and faster. It was flying at him as quickly as when it attacked a goblin.
Towards his master, Kim Gun.
But before he could ask anything, the black dog, speeding up, pounced on Kim Gun.
“Geon-ah!”
At that moment.
“Don’t worry, senior.”
Kim Geon’s appearance after being attacked by the black cat changed considerably.
“…You, you!”
Not only Kang Deok-su, but I was also surprised.
‘what?’
That’s because Kim Geon’s appearance had completely changed.
Kim Geon slowly spread out both arms.
“!!”
No, now it would be more correct to call them two wings.
“This is now possible.”
The black and the red were combined into one.
“So let’s go outside. Not this narrow cave.”
A new skill.
I quickly went into the management window and checked Kim Geon’s information window.
‘Crow communication?’
The skill that was originally called Crow Ministry was changed to Sympathy.
And the explanation was that such fusion was only possible for targets whose intimacy reached 100.
‘oh my god’
There are cases where skills evolve through one’s own power.
Thanks to Kim Gun, I learned something new.
If Kim Gun could fly in that form, his reconnaissance range would be greatly expanded.
There are monsters in the sky, but they are completely different from the ones moving on the ground.
‘It’s going to be a lot easier from now on!’
I had already thought of a way to utilize Kim Geon’s crow.
It used to be like making Seo Ye-jin ride a mouse on her back and make it move, but now there is no need to do that.
‘Good’
Looking at their appearance, it seemed that both Kang Deok-su and Kim Geon-do were ready.
‘Let’s take a look at Moon Byung-ho’s side too’
Moon Byeong-ho, Oh Eun-joo, and Kim Da-jeong were still out hunting together.
‘I heard the fortress goes quite far.’
The eyes of the Absolute were focused on Moon Byung-ho’s party.
Boohoo—
Owen Ju was seen driving.
It looked like he was just returning from hunting.
The road they were running on had cars slid to one side, and Owen Ju knew that he had cleared it with his own two hands.
Moon Byung-ho, sitting in the backseat, let out a small sigh and said.
“Today too, Deoksu hyung and Geon-i will be drinking heavily.”
“Leave it alone. It will come to its senses in time.”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah. They’re strong guys. Let’s give them some time and wait. Time is the best medicine in these things.”
As Owen had said, I wanted to give them a little more time to heal their wounds, but no matter how much I thought about it, they were the only party that could stand up to vampires.
Ha Dong-geon, Kim Ga-yeong, Kang Deok-su, Kim Geon, Moon Byeong-ho, Oh Eon-ju, Kim Da-jeong,
The Ace Party is the party that has received the most investment among the parties currently in my territory, and has overwhelming power.
I used the ring of communication towards them.
[It’s been a while, everyone. Have you been resting well?]
