Episode 27
“what???”
Park Hyo-sang and Kim Chu-ho look at me with wide eyes.
You thought you were quietly accepting the contract, but you probably didn’t know that you would unexpectedly receive a counteroffer.
“Hahahahaha.”
Belatedly, they shake their shoulders and burst into laughter.
It seems like they think of me as a kid who doesn’t know anything about the world.
The two men chuckled for quite some time, and the two new hunters watched the scene with anxious eyes.
“Mr. Cheon Hae-seon. There seems to be some mistake. It is the healer’s duty to heal party members. “It’s like we’re on the front lines and slaying monsters.”
“I know.”
“… … yes?”
“Of course, if you get hurt, the people here will heal you. “I have no intention of breaking the rules set by the Hunter Association.”
“No, but two million won…” … .”
“Didn’t I tell you? “This is a case of asking for ‘protection’ rather than ‘healing.’”
It seems that Park Hyo-sang and Kim Chu-ho finally understood what I meant.
But their gaze was still cynical.
“Mr. Cheon Hae-seon. I know you are the greatest healer of all time. But dungeons are more dangerous than you think. “With no birds to protect us, we will have to worry about our own safety first.”
I can’t believe I had to hear this from someone who I doubt has ever experienced a 5-star (★★★) dungeon.
My mouth was itching, but I said only the necessary words.
“I will take care of that. “If you don’t add anything to the contract, I won’t sign it.”
“This is so… … .”
As Park Hyo-sang scratches his head, blonde and tanned Kim Chu-ho encourages him.
“older brother. What are you worried about? “Whether it’s 2 million won or 20 million won, there’s no way that’s going to happen.”
“hmm… … . Sure, whatever. Haeseon Cheon. “Please do so.”
Hyo-sang Park inserted the phrase I requested into the contract and then signed the contract.
I thought it was going to be a boring dungeon, but it turns out to be more fun than I thought.
* * *
“Aaaah!!”
“Wow, our princess was very surprised. “Cluck.”
Park Hyo-sang lifts a limp nutria above his head as if to tease the young esper.
The interior of the dungeon resembled a ruined sewage treatment plant.
Most of the Poison Dungeon is made up of dense forests.
The structure seems to be different depending on the type of monster.
Chwiik.
The veterans had better body movements than I expected.
The idea of ripping off protection money was absurd, but in reality, they quickly cleared the dungeon without the need for support from espers.
“Ahh!”
A nutria suddenly rises from the river and jumps towards the male esper’s face.
puck!
At the right time, the blade held by Kim Chu-ho stabs the nutria’s side.
Esper’s face turns white when he sees the guy fluttering his arms and legs in the air.
“haha. Don’t worry. “We don’t receive protection money for nothing.”
Esper nodded with a scared face.
‘Well… … .’
It’s not my job, so I just ignore it, but it’s extremely frustrating.
If this is the case, there is no point in providing training at the association.
What happens if you only complete the number of attacks?
If you clear the dungeon with this protection, will you be able to play your role in battle later?
“Why don’t you try something?”
“yes… … ?”
“I say there’s nothing to do if there’s no one injured, but that won’t be the case for you two. You just entered the dungeon and you’re going to leave without doing anything? “You pay that expensive million won?”
“… … .”
“The nutria here is nothing more or less than a large rat. Even if I get bitten, if I heal it right away, there won’t be any scars. “You didn’t become a hunter just to scream.”
Although they look young, they are actually two or three years older than me.
Although there was a significant difference in rank, it was an insulting enough remark.
But I didn’t hesitate to spit out a bitter comment.
Because I hated their helplessness.
People who died cruelly in the open building.
If the same situation happens later, will they be able to protect people?
“Mr. Cheon Hae-seon… … that’s right.”
With a white face, the female esper turns around and collects ether in both hands.
Wedge.
Burbubbuk.
The harsh advice turned into a sharp arrow of lightning and struck the nutria.
Seeing that it was still alive even though it was hit squarely, the ‘E’ rank is an ‘E’ rank.
But it doesn’t matter.
Because at least he showed some action to do something.
“haha. “I said you don’t have to do that.”

Two veteran hunters smile and look back.
From their perspective, it would be easier if you helped out.
A pair of new hunters attacked the nutria from the knight’s rear, and the hunters’ hunting speed gradually increased.
The veterans skillfully extracted the core from the nutria’s body.
They say they will distribute it later, but if you don’t check the number from the beginning, you will definitely close your eyes and cut your nose.
“How much longer do we have left?”
“Whew. You only need to move forward 10 meters from here. “There are nutria the size of a house.”
“omg… … .”
The male hunter is shocked to hear that it is the size of a house.
‘I’m playing.’
There is no way a monster of that size would appear in a 1-star (★) dungeon.
What kind of monster is the size of a real house?
Yes, Daebeom.
That’s what I’m talking about about that guy.
Anyway, I think it’s time.
It’s time to forcibly ‘protect’ hunters who are busy making money.
Sigh.
The healer usually stands last in the party.
This is because it is vulnerable to enemy attacks, and on the other hand, there is no need to attack from this side.
So, none of them knew that I had taken out Exa in a ‘white dream’ state.
With White Dream activated, I dipped the blade into the river.
Crackling… … .
An invisible white gas slowly spreads inside the sewer.
Too much can have adverse effects, so this is the right amount.
Baekmong’s Blade has two powerful effects.
Sleep effect.
And the anesthetic effect.
As an ‘S’ class healer, there will be no change for me, but this will not be the case for them.
Chwiik.
“Ugh!”
Park Hyo-sang, who was skillfully cutting down a nutria, gets bitten on one of his arms by a nutria.
“haha. older brother. “What are you doing in front of the kids?”
Kim Chu-ho chuckled and cut down the nutria that was clinging to Park Hyo-sang.
“shit. It’s embarrassing. “I guess I’m older now too.”
Park Hyo-sang grumbles and walks towards me.
Before entering the dungeon, Pori consumed a lot of my poison, so it is full of healing power.
I treated Park Hyo-sang’s injuries thoroughly.
“Oh oh. As expected, the ‘S’ class is different. “It feels like my skin has completely grown.”
He chuckled with a look of genuine admiration on his face.
This guy.
Wouldn’t now be the time?
“Tongue, bro!!”
An urgent voice is heard from behind Park Hyo-sang.
This is because a lot of nutria were attached to Kim Chu-ho’s left and right limbs.
“what?!”
Park Hyo-sang, who has completed healing, runs quickly.
The once relaxed war situation suddenly changes.
They were fighting fiercely and engaging in a bloody battle with the nutria.
The field jacket I was wearing had already become tattered a long time ago, and new blood began to bleed as soon as it healed.
“f*ck! Why is it so strong all of a sudden?”
I covered the slightly raised corner of my mouth with one hand.
It’s not that nutria has become stronger.
It’s just that their reactions have become dull.
The smoke Baekmong created was temporary, but it was enough to affect the people here.
I took advantage of the moment they were fighting to hold the hands of the two espers.
“Come this way.”
Shall… … .
At first glance, it may have seemed like a move to avoid nutria, but that was just an excuse.
As soon as I held hands, I completely erased the ‘white dream’ ingredient that had infiltrated the two espers.
Let’s have a ritual and eat some rice cake.
With sober mind.
“uh… … What should I do?”
The espers targeted the nutria with their own techniques, but unlike before, they were unable to attack it easily because they were so tightly attached to the bodies of the two men.
The embarrassed espers ask me with anxious expressions.
I scratched my head and answered vaguely.
“I didn’t know that the 1-star dungeon would be this strong. “If we’re not careful, those two people will be in danger.”
“that… … !!”
Chwiiiiiik.
As if hearing those words, a slightly harsher crying sound is heard than before.
To make matters worse.
Although it was smaller than what veterans had said, a huge nutria that appeared to be 2 meters long had appeared.
“Ugh… … !!”
The visual was so hideous that the Espers, who showed their fighting spirit, took a step back.
Unlike the small species we were dealing with now, the hair on its body stood up like a mane.
Of course, if the two veterans join forces, they will be able to defeat him without difficulty.
That is, if it is ‘usual state’.
“profit… … !!”
A shadow of despair falls on the faces of Park Hyo-sang and Kim Chu-ho, who were struggling with Nutria.
It’s hard to deal with all the miscellaneous mobs, and you also have to deal with the boss mob.
“f*ck!! what are you doing!! “Do not attack quickly!!”
Park Hyo-sang, now in a hurry, curses and urges the Espers.
“Yeah, but. “It’s so close!!”
“Hey you idiot!! Then don’t let that big guy over there come!!”
“yes… … yes!!”
hmm.
If that’s the case, the boss mob’s target might be aimed at the Espers.
Looking at the two men’s faces, that seems like a good thing.
No, rather, it seems like he desperately wants ‘Hughes Nutria’ to attack someone else.
Wedge-
bang!
“Krrr… … .”
The two espers’ attacks hit the boss mob, but the monster didn’t seem to be hit other than flinching briefly.
This is only the level at which a new esper can attack from a long distance.
In the midst of the fight, the veterans who checked the status of the boss mob looked despairing.
“older brother. If this continues, we’re all going to die!”
“Kill me quickly while I’m talking about bullshit!”
Chwiik.
The two men eventually can’t stand it and retreat in this direction.
I quickly recovered both men.
Of course, excluding the white dream ingredient.
“older brother. It seems like the monsters have grown up. “Let’s wait for the next opportunity.”
“Are you crazy? Who will give the next permission to hunters who failed to conquer 1 star!”
Nutria slowly approaching.
Four men and women tremble with anxiety.
I asked Park Hyo-sang while slightly covering the corners of my mouth.
“Would you like me to protect you?”
“… … what?”
“I don’t think you two are capable of protecting us. “If you ask me for protection, I will clear the dungeon.”
Park Hyo-sang, who was dumbfounded, couldn’t even give a proper answer.
Even though you have been healed, the ether within your body has its limits.
If you continue to use it without taking a break, you will run out.
“Stop talking bullshit. “Because there’s nothing you, a healer, can do.”
“is it so? Then please go quickly and fight. Like I just said, you can’t be a hunter who can’t even get 1 star.”
Park Hyo-sang glared at me for a moment, then gritted his teeth and ran to the battlefield.
And a few minutes later.
“Huh. Huh. Chi, please heal!!”
Since the ether has already been depleted and paralysis has occurred, do you have the willpower to fight properly?
He came back crawling, half dead.
Shall… … .
“I can’t just heal you like this forever. Because even my ether has its limits… … .”
“Is that really true?”
Of course it’s lame.
Although there may be limitations, the healing of these small children(?) is at a level that is not affected even if hundreds of people flock to the area.
But because I had to hear the two letters I wanted, it created anxiety.
“I’ll ask again. Shall we proceed with an additional contract?”
“… … .”
“Damn it, bro!! If we keep going like this, we’re all going to die. “You can either get out of here or pretend to be fooled and sign a contract!”
A knight protected by a healer.
Considering their type, it was an extremely humiliating situation.
But in the end, Park Hyo-sang had no choice but to raise the white flag.
“Mr. Cheon Hae-seon… … . Please protect us… … . “If you clear the dungeon, I will fulfill my contract.”
“yes.”
I jumped up from my seat with a short answer.
The Exa in my hand had suddenly changed to its unique black color.
A deadly weapon that kills even if it passes by has begun to ravage the nutria along with the ‘dogbo’.
Green onions!
Suddenly! cook!
“Chwii… … !!!”
An extremely poisonous penetration that does not even allow screaming.
About twenty nutria plunged their heads down the gutter in just a few seconds.
“this… … this… … !!”
“Unbelievable!!”
The two espers, as well as the two knights, look at us with eyes filled with astonishment.
It would have been impossible for them to even confirm what had happened.
“Chwiik!!”
Hughes Nutria leaps from his seat as if angry.
Just as its snout was about to bite my head, I jumped to a much higher position than the nutria.
Perfect!
The sound of teeth clashing was loud, and the back of the nutria, which had lost its target, was slashed from above.
Pushyook-
thud!
Battle over.
I cleared the dungeon in less than 30 seconds, putting to shame the veterans who were fighting with blood on their heads.
‘A battle that could kill you was this easy.’
As I searched for the same movie while dodging it every time, this type of battle became much more comfortable.
“Mr. Cheon Hae-seon! you… … !!”
“What is it?”
Beyond the fallen nutria, four men and women were unable to close their mouths.
