31. Striker (1)

the next day.

Amkena ran the dungeon one lap at a time, then sent the 2nd party, led by Edith, to the 4th floor. And he tried to send our 1st party, who had become three again, to the 6th floor, but the dungeon didn’t open.

[warning! This dungeon cannot be re-entered.]

‘I told you not to sell your eyes like that.’

When a stream is activated, the dungeon belonging to it cannot be re-entered. There is nothing impossible if you have a special skill, but at this point it was impossible.

Jenna muttered as she scratched the back of her head.

“Why aren’t you doing anything?”

“wait.”

After thinking for a while, Amkena made a decision.

[Main dungeon, current challenge floor is 7th floor.]

[The door opens in 10 seconds. Get ready!]

“The 7th floor. Get ready.”

“Brother, the number of people has decreased from yesterday…”

“that’s enough.”

To go to the 4th floor, the level is high, so the experience is low.

You can’t go to the 5th floor. The boss stage was also impossible to re-enter.

As you can see, the 6th floor is blocked, and the only option left for the master is to send us back or challenge the 7th floor.

I wanted to try out the berserk I used last time, but the right stage came just in time. Light covered the gap in time and space, and we were summoned to an unfamiliar place.

‘The field is plain. But it’s a bit different.’

shoot it

A heavy rain was falling on the plain where we were standing. The rain poured down relentlessly and soaked the whole body.

Jenna made a fuss and brushed her hair.

“What is this!”

“It’s cool, isn’t it?”

I drew my sword from its scabbard. Raindrops scattered along the sword’s trajectory.

The enemy was in front.

[Floor 7.]

[Mission Type – Subjugation]

[Goal – annihilate the enemy!]

[Goblin Lv.8 X 13]

Red eyes shone in the heavy rain.

Huge goblins armed with armor and weapons screamed. Aaron held out the spear with her confident expression.

“Thank God, brother! This is worth trying!”

We got into formation quickly. One party is three people. swordsman, spearman, and archer, respectively. The composition of personnel for Geunjungwon is perfect. I practiced formation as well as I got tired of it.

I was in the lead, Aaron was in the middle, and Jenna, who fed the arrows, was in the rear.

“Kiaaa!”

The goblins also stood in their positions. Depending on the weapon each person has, they fall backwards or forwards.

In the pouring rain, we and the enemy split into two groups.

No words were needed. The battle started with the signal fire from both sides of the archers. I knocked the bolt towards Jenna with my shield and broke it. Jenna lowered her stance just enough to touch the floor and fired an arrow.

There is a high risk of blocking a frontal shot against an enemy holding a shield. So aim for the bottom. The arrow pierced the lead goblin’s leg.

While I was distracted, my sword and Aaron’s spear took my life.

‘Activate it.’

As I hit the goblin’s teeth-baring face with a shield, I remembered the feeling.

[‘Han (★)’ has entered a berserk state!]

The sword shattered the goblin’s shield and split him in half headfirst. Blood mingled with raindrops splattered in all directions.

butcher and slaughter

Elevation boiled over. Every time the sword was swung, the goblins were cut into pieces. I could taste blood in my mouth. The rain seeping through the cracks in my armor did not cool my body.

Before I knew it, I was standing in the middle of the goblin corpses.

only one left. He’s holding a broken sword. Jenna aimed her bow at the goblin.

I raised my hand to restrain Jenna.

“Wait, don’t shoot!”

“Why? It’s damp, so I want to go back quickly.”

The battle is almost over.

Then it was time to take a look at this stage. Since the previous mission was an exploration, there is a high probability that this mission will also belong to a chain quest. I looked around the neighborhood.

First special feature.

It’s raining.

second.

A river is flowing.

“Kiaag!”

The goblin, waving its broken sword up and down, lunged at me. I hit him in the side face with my shield.

“Kack!”

I passed the ugly guy and approached the riverside.

Quarrrrr.

The rivers that crossed the plains were overflowing with torrential rain. It’s not a situation to cross. On the day you stumble and fall, you will be swept away in an instant and drown.

I got closer to the river.

‘Has the dam collapsed?’

Remnants of collapsed stones and dirt were seen near the river. I looked around, but nothing else caught my eye. I drove my sword into the fallen goblin’s back.

As I finished it off, a ground-shaking sound shook the ground slightly.

[Stage cleared!]

[‘Aaron (★)’, level up!]

[Reward – 10,000G, Iron Ore (C) X 2, Leather (C) X 1]

[MVP – ‘Han(★)’]

I returned to the space-time gap.

The rain is dry, as if the soaked body seems to be recognized as something to be restored. Jenna squinted her eyes and brushed her red hair.

After the shaking that signaled the rise to the floor was over, we came out to the plaza.

In the plaza, Edith was chatting with the party members at the fountain. It seems to be giving feedback on the last battle. Jenna waved her hand.

“sister!”

“Ah, you guys are here too.”

“Brother, today’s schedule is over, right? Can I go?”

“Do as you will.”

“yeah!”

I turned to Aaron and said.

“What are you going to do? It’s late.”

“I’m thinking of going to the training camp.”

“Do it in moderation. Ruin your body.”

I walked to the inn. I don’t think it’s good to spread that I’m going back. Just like on the 6th floor, I have to record the information I got this time. It was not a good idea to train unconditionally to prepare for battle.

Enter the accommodation through the gate of the square.

When I glanced back, the door to the summoning station was open.

“…”

came out again Aaron was about to grab his spear and enter the training center.

“Aaron, don’t go.”

“Yes? What are you doing?”

I looked up. The sky is shining with rainbow colors.

After a while, the control window came to mind.

[If you want something right now, pay now!]

[Moebius supports the master’s choice!]

[You have selected ‘Newbie Potential Double Package!’]

[Package Components – 5,000 Gems, 100,000 Gold]

[All this for only 90,000 won!]

[The amount will be added to the next month’s mobile phone bill. Are you sure you want to pay?]

[Yes / No]

It was Amkena’s third charge.

[Payment completed!]

[The product has been sent by mail. Please check!]

Jenna is chatting about something with Edith.

“So yes. What kind of drool talk does my brother have when he sleeps…”

“Jenna!”

“Huh? You haven’t gone yet?”

“Stop talking nonsense. Get the lot from my room. It’ll be on the table in my room. The one I pulled last time.”

“It’s annoying…”

Jenna grumbled and went toward the dorm.

Edith asked.

“What’s going on?”

“I think newcomers will come. People you know like you.”

‘I thought I would pull it out.’

As long as the party is divided into 3 people, it is natural to increase the number of people.

However, in the current state, there is no talent to fit into the party. Although some guys are rolling at the training center, they need time to grow.

Then you have no choice but to choose.

‘There are people who have never been billed, but there is no one who has been billed only once.’

I smiled as I recalled a proverb that was widely passed down in official cafes. In addition, Amkena must have gained enlightenment in the last incident.

That you shouldn’t recklessly use paid lottery.

The cause is good though.

In any case, there are principles and methods in paid lottery. If you just pull out a lot like other games because you have a lot of gems, you will lose 100%.

In Pick Me Up, we must not forget that each hero has its own characteristics and personality.

‘slowly. And little by little.’

[Master, advanced summoning begins! You selected 2 consecutive advanced summons. A total of 1,000 gems are consumed. Would you like to summon?]

[Yes / No]

If there are two people, Edith and I can share one each.

It seemed that he finally understood the method of effective summoning.

[Master, advanced summoning begins. I’m looking forward to what kind of hero will come out!]

[Talkak, durururu]

[Too bang!]

[Rare!]

[Master ‘Amkena’ has learned the hero ‘Roderick (★★★)’!]

[Rare!]

[Master ‘Amkena’ has learned the hero ‘Iolka (★★★)’!]

A strong light emanates from the summoning station.

The gaze of the party, including me, was focused on the entrance.

After a while, a man and a woman walked out of the summoning station one by one.

A man in chain mail with a spear behind his back and a young woman in a fancy dress.

‘Why is he dressed like that?’

“Who are you?”

The man in the armor turned to us and said.

He was a middle-aged man with gray hair, but the outline of his body revealed under the armor was strong.

“That’s later. Do you remember why you came here?”

“hmm…….”

The man furrowed his eyebrows and pondered. The woman was tilting her head at the threshold of her summons with a look of disapproval.

The summons door slammed shut and pushed the woman away.

“Oops!”

fluff.

The woman screamed and fell on the square.

“Brother, I brought you a lot… Huh? New people have arrived. What are the names of the two of you?”

“Roderick Sazan.”

“What is that sister doing lying down?”

“Don’t worry. It will wake up on its own.”

“Who are you? Second question.”

“I am Han. This is Edith.”

I asked Roderick how he got here.

As expected, he couldn’t remember how he got there. He said he was serving as a guard in a big city, and when he came to his senses, he was here. And something like a strange sense of duty kept coming back to him, he said.

“It’s like I have to do something. It’s like hypnosis.”

I then asked what he knew about the waiting room.

Roderick was aware of the core concepts including Master, Summoning, and Synthesis. However, he did not know concepts such as levels and skills. It was the same with Edith.

At this point, the characteristics of three-star heroes were established. It seemed that there was no need to ask the woman.

As I did with Edith, I briefly explained the waiting room and its rules.

“Do I have to fight unknown enemies here?”

Roderick muttered in a broken voice.

The one remaining woman fell to the floor and did not know how to get up.

is it a joke

There are times when, with a very low probability, a hero with a high level but not worth it is summoned. In a profane word, it is attached to luck.

Aaron, who was worse off, approached and lifted the woman up.

The woman staggered to her feet.

“Thank you. My head is a little dizzy.”

“It’s nothing.”

Edith muttered so that only I could hear.

“I am noble.”

“nobility?”

“If you live as a mercenary for a long time, you’ll know. You look like an immature young lady, how did you get here?”

‘Come to think of it, everyone except me is from Taoni.’

Anyway, it’s time to draft. Master didn’t distribute the two to the party, as if he knew.

“There are two lots. If you draw red, you get that man. If you draw blue, you get a woman. Objection?”

“doesn’t exist.”

“Jenna. Bring the lot this way.”

“Yes, I’m going. Oh, okay.”

Jenna stumbled as her foot caught on a protruding part of the plaza. Jenna’s quick roll on her feet brought her back into balance. The wind swayed her Jenna’s heartache up and down her.

‘Right is red. The left side is blue.’

You can look at the status window, but I don’t want to write a foul here. It was clear who to pick. A seasoned guard with a long career and an immature noble lady.

Edith’s eyes were also on the right lot. Like me, he noticed the order of the swallows.

“Then let’s go!”

Jenna set the barrel down between me and Edith.

Even if the power of the current serve lags behind us, we have no intention of letting it go.

pull the right If you add Roderick who uses a spear, you can strengthen the middle line.

and that moment.

Hwareuk.

A flame rose from the woman’s hand.

Edith’s and mine’s hands moved like lightning to the lot on the left and overlapped.
