Episode 31
One by one, scars are carved into the sand worm’s sturdy carapace.
Scars from a knife cut.
Acrid smoke rose through the cracks.
“Keeeee!”
The sand worm screamed in pain.
“It burns well because there is a lot of firewood.”
A hell burning inside.
It is a flame of power that never goes out and amplifies infinitely.
I cut it several times and shoved the sword between the carapace.
Suddenly the sand worm opened its mouth wide.
“Guaaaagh!”
Yellow liquid sticking out of throat.
It is a strongly acidic solution that dissolves everything it touches.
[Use Unryubo.]
[Consumes 2 chaos per second.]
I changed my position by bouncing my feet.
The moment when the solution hits the rock that was standing a moment ago.
Chi-Ik-
The rock melted like a bubble bursting.
“Is there nothing more to struggle about now?”
“Keeeet!”
This time, Sand runs straight ahead.
Worm.
Like a matador, I kept a tight distance and sent the sand worms charging away.
‘I’ve already figured out its attack pattern.’
Fires shell-like protrusions.
solution.
And rush.
These are all attacks that can be avoided or parried.
Jerk, jerk.
As the fight continued, a bustling sound was heard from below.
It was a Hwarang guild raiding party climbing a mountain.
‘also. ‘They knew that the sand worm was the boss monster.’
All raid hunters wore white shoes.
［Steps of silence］
This item reduces the sound of footsteps.
“Have you been preparing for too long? The bet is already over.”
“Hunter Jeon Min-cheol. Aren’t you overconfident about the sand worm?”
Yoo Seung-woo stepped forward.
“Stop. I can’t take responsibility if you get caught in a fight.”
“It sounds like you can hunt that monster by yourself.”
“Of course. So you wouldn’t have placed a bet?”
“We’ll see how long I can take my time like that.”
“Okay. Stay there and watch the sand worm fall.”
A twenty meter tall monster.
It was difficult to suffocate him with one blow.
I estimated the remaining period of chaos.
[1572/2080]
‘It’s enough as long as there are no interruptions.’
Time is on my side.
The inferno of hell is gnawing away at the inside of the sand worm every moment.
Even if resistance is successful and the fire subsides.
Once the fire has already been ignited, you can rekindle it by injecting magical power into it.
This is the scary thing about fear.
‘From now on, it’s a battle of perseverance.’
The sand worm seemed to instinctively know that it had to take me down to put out the fire.
The Hwarang Guild attack force was in the rear, but they paid no attention to them at all.
Will that monster fall first?
Am I caught?
It will take quite some time before the decision is reached.
I take aim at Sand Worm’s gap again.
I inserted the black sword.
* Rice Rice
The fight between Mincheol and Sand Worm became more intense as time passed.
“Keeee!!”
Sand Worm used every means possible to catch Min-cheol.
Grumbling-

A sand worm that hits a cliff with its body.
The Hwarang Guild attack team was astonished.
“It’s an earthquake!”
“You idiot. This is a landslide!”
A small landslide occurred when part of the cliff collapsed.
Rock fragments fall to the ground.
The aftermath of the landslide even reached the Hwarang Guild raiders.
“shield!”
“Stone Wall!”
Magic hunters hastily used defensive skills.
Thanks to keeping our distance as Min-cheol warned, there was only minor damage.
Mincheol, in the center of the battlefield, was in a completely different situation.
bang! bang
Chunks of rock pouring towards the ground.
It was irregular and extensive.
The landslide was so wide that escaping was impossible.
“Tsk. You’re annoying.”
The black weapon in Mincheol’s hand changed its shape.
［Dark Star – Spear］
He avoided the rocks with strange movements, and swung his spear in situations where avoidance was unavoidable.
The long range of the spear shined.
In situations where a rock was hit directly, it repeatedly hit the pole and bounced in a different direction.
“Crazy. Is that even possible?”
“No. Our engineering team leader can do that well.”
A few hunters muttered in astonishment.
Choi Yujin heard that sound, but didn’t bother to point it out.
He too was astonished.
‘Is it possible to move like that?’
Stone fragments are falling from above.
The ground you are standing on shakes violently in the aftermath of the impact.
Mincheol looked for safe footholds in that hellish island and moved around, dodging or throwing away rocks.
‘It’s a movement that seems to read every attack.’
Excellent fuselage vision.
And judgment.
It was a series of acrobatics that could lead to serious injury at the slightest misstep.
‘It’s not a question of skill.’
Jeon Min-cheol’s physical ability is about C+.
Even if you put it high, it is at the level of a current B-class hunter.
In terms of pure ability, he was similar to Yoo Seung-woo.
If you had the same physical ability as Jeon Min-cheol, would you be able to avoid all of those landslides?
no.
impossible.
Choi Yujin shook her head involuntarily.
Pap-deuk-
Yoo Seung-woo gritted his teeth.
My body is shaking as if I’m about to jump into battle at any moment.
“stop.”
Choi Yu-jin grabbed Yoo Seung-woo’s shoulder.
“This is not a fight for you to get involved in.”
“Commander, if you keep it like this, you lose the bet.”
“The safety of engineering team members cannot be guaranteed if there is a melee with sand worms.”
Choi Yujin’s words were valid.
The key to attacking sand worms is to systematically push through them.
Going on a rampage like now was not part of the pre-planned attack plan.
Yoo Seung-woo bowed his head.
The hand I was holding was constantly shaking.
“Second Air Captain.”
“……yes.”
“This is not the only opportunity. Believe in your potential and believe in the guild.”
“All right.”
As if he had finally come to terms with it, his body began to tremble more often.
In fact, Choi Yu-jin could not look at Yoo Seung-woo properly.
indeed.
Will there be a chance to catch up with Jeon Min-cheol, who is running wild like that?
‘I could be a liar.’
Choi Yujin looked away with a self-deprecating smile.
Mincheol escaped the landslide range and carved scars into the sandworm’s skin once again.
Grumble!
The horrors of hell seeped through the scars.
“Keeeeek!”
The sand worm forcibly extracted the solution and melted the floor.
Occasionally, it would shoot out protrusions while charging.
None of it reached Mincheol.
“Let’s see who can last long?”
Hell’s flames and sacred flames.
Unryubo.
Then, he used the Five Tiger Danmundo to gradually chip away at the Sand Worm’s vitality.
The sand worm’s appearance deteriorated rapidly over time.
Scars carved all over the carapace.
The dark red flames that were burning the inside of the flesh became strong enough to rise through the cracked carapace.
“Kiiiiii……
thud.
Finally, the sand worm lowered its head.
Sand Worm Raid.
Min-cheol alone defeated a monster that 20 new members of the Hwarang Guild had to prepare thoroughly to face.
米 New: #:
As I stepped beyond the blue barrier, familiar terrain came into view.
Ugh!
The moment I return to reality.
The gate that had been maintained so far scattered resonant sounds.
A blue crack several meters long.
Because it lost its core, it can no longer exist in the present world.
The gate, which contracted rapidly, quickly disappeared.
“It’s over.”
I glanced at the spot where the gate was with regretful eyes.
If it weren’t for the Hwarang Guild’s suggestion,
I was able to steadily increase my experience for a few days.
“It’s the Hwarang Guild!”
“The Hwarang Guild’s raiders closed the gate!”
click! Slash! The sound of a shutter being pressed.
The flash flashes and dazzles the eyes.
“Then, please take care of everything afterwards.”
I patted Yoo Seung-woo on the shoulder.
I hate troublesome work.
Yoo Seung-woo bites his lip when his shoulder is tapped.
hey. Then it will bleed.
‘Of course I’ll be angry.’
I smiled.
I won’t be able to sleep well today because I feel unfair.
I had everything planned out, but the wrong guy ended up taking the money.
As I passed through the camp of reporters, Eli came up to me.
“How did it go?”
“Of course I knocked it over.”
I briefly talked about what happened inside the gate.
“Wow. Mincheol Hunter turned the stage upside down.”
“Say it with some soul.”
“Hoho. Still, I feel sorry for you. Thanks to you, the branch will also enjoy the promotional effect.”
“Do you like it because there’s a lot of work to do?”
“This is always welcome!”
Ellie’s eyes sparkled.
“Are you a pervert, since you like having a lot of work to do?”
“Does it feel bad to hear such words from Mincheol Hunter?”
“why.”
“He’s a hunting addict.”
How dare you cowardly use facts.
I took a hit.
Ellie looked at me speechless and gave me an accusatory look.
“By the way. There is no need to arrange for the gate for the time being.”
“Ah. Just because you’re addicted to hunting doesn’t mean you’re upset, right?”
“It’s not like that.”
I looked north.
Far away.
A huge structure built in Seoul.
The image of the tower was reflected on my retina.
‘It’s fascinating.’
The tower can be seen from anywhere on Earth.
It is a supernatural phenomenon that cannot be proven by current science.
“I’m going to challenge the Tower of Trials.”
“Isn’t that too much for a joke?”
“I’m serious.”
-Drenier the Destroyer.
-Storm Lord Altrec.
-Daedran, the ruler of death.
These are the people who entered the tower, gained strength, and became powerful across dimensions.
The tower presents trials to those who climb it.
When you overcome an ordeal and rise to the top, you are given various rewards, including powerful magical power and items.
of course.
Entering the tower is not a condition of being ‘strong’.
In my past life, I was not invited to the tower.
Because Godot has become the loser of the entire universe.
‘Use everything that is available.’
Currently I am weak.
Although I am getting stronger faster than in my previous life.
It was insufficient to compare with angels and demons, beings of higher dimensions.
If you go head-to-head with a class A hunter who is classified as the strongest on Earth right now, you cannot be guaranteed victory.
‘I’m also worried about the movements of the Asmodeus group.’
Demons with black baptism.
Besides Verde, there are four more demons that are not affected by the deterrent.
At the very least, you need to be strong enough not to be pushed back when fighting one-on-one.
“Hunter Mincheol surprises me every time.”
“It’s time to get used to it.”
“If you can’t even talk.”
Ellie glanced at me from the corner of her eye, as if she was disgusted.
I didn’t care and just said what I had to say.
“Ah. And tomorrow morning, the branch manager
Tell him I’ll see you later.”
Climbing the tower requires prior preparation.
Aside from that, there are things I need to give orders to Martin.
‘After cleaning up the surroundings, I enter the tower.’
I finished clearing the gate, but I had a feeling it would get busier in the future.
