What came about subsequent have become a chunk of a peculiar phenomenon.
because the footsteps from the opportunity issue of the cavern grew louder and nearer, the Hunters had been making lots less and lots much less sound.
“Sohn hyung….”
“….”
soon, choking silence enveloped the institution.
Jin-Woo’s ears have been perked up, although – seizing upon the hole created thru his surroundings getting quieter, Jin-Woo commenced counting the numbers of the enemies thru their footsteps.
Step, step.
Thud, thud.
thanks to his already-extra paying attention to, as well as excessive belief Stat, he ought to separate out each of the footsteps to their proper proprietors.
‘….48, 40 nine, 50, 51.’
There were a entire of fifty one unique footsteps. the stairs themselves sounded just like the ones of the excessive Orc warriors.
Jin-Woo took a go searching him.
‘…….’
The nervous anxiety changed into truely writ large at the faces of the Hunters. It seemed to him that they also had extra or less found out the scale of the enemy from the resounding footsteps.
This raid team controlled to eke out a victory against 22 excessive Orc warriors. however now, fifty one of them were coming. that changed into over twice as many.
‘….there may be no desire of victory proper right here.’
The raid crew contributors had been taking into consideration sort of the same opinion.
Jin-Woo cast his look down at his shadow. He momentarily perception that it have become wavering ever so slightly in reality then.
Wuuuuu….
He even notion that his shadow soldiers had been howling out, their desire to appearance blood intensifying. Jin-Woo raised his head decrease again up once more.
Thump, thump, thump!
His calm coronary heart that stayed although until now began out pounding more hard.
‘await it….’
….Now wasn’t the proper time however.
Consoling himself as therefore, Jin-Woo silently placed the front.
eventually, the monsters discovered out themselves. The infinite marching excessive Orcs got here to a halt most effective a little bit of distance away from the Hunters.
“Kurururu.”
“Kuruk.”
excessive Orcs growled as though they’d pounce at any given moment. No terms may also need to securely describe the bloodthirsty air of thriller emitted from over 50 high Orc warriors. The cease result of a war become pretty apparent even without simply preventing them.
“this is loopy.”
“How can this nonsensical crap be….”
“Euh….”
Hunters spat out prolonged groans. They endured to retreat ever so barely after feeling the tremendous pressure, however too lousy, their route have become however blocked off.
So, what would they do now?
The Hunters had been all equipped for warfare from a while in the beyond, however no one improved but and without a doubt waited for Sohn Ki-Hoon’s instructions.
Sohn Ki-Hoon’s lips were near tight in a directly line.
‘God d*mn it….’
If handiest both Chairman Choi Jong-In or Hunter Cha Hae-In had been right right here….
Sohn Ki-Hoon’s expression crumpled unsightly.
Rank S Hunters all possessed first rate powers that might overturn any unfavorable situation. If each any such two have been right here, those high Orcs might’ve been no longer whatever the least bit.
‘certainly why, in a scenario like this….’
Why weren’t they right here?
Sohn Ki-Hoon had fought alongside them all of the time, so he should acutely enjoy his powerlessness right about now. The absence of a unmarried rank S modified into a bone-chillingly painful trouble, certainly.
unluckily, he couldn’t keep to lament his misfortune all the time. No, he needed to make an expansion proper right here.
‘preventing here will genuinely bring about our lack of existence.’
but, with their direction of retreat blocked off, he no longer had any desire in the rely.
The day he selected to become a Hunter, the day he stepped foot inner a dungeon for the primary time ever, and the day he misplaced recognition for the first time once you’ve got intently injured….
Didn’t he already guess that a day like these days could come subsequently?
‘proper. That did take location, didn’t it?’
Having resolved himself to satisfy his maker, Sohn Ki-Hoon unsheathed his longsword.
Shurururng….
Sohn Ki-Hoon took a observe his comrades, and the Hunters nodded their heads as although they were watching for the sign. Sohn Ki-Hoon’s gaze shifted once more to his the front.
He then brought the protect right up till his chin and glared at the high Orcs, nonetheless now not displaying any symptoms of movements however.
‘So, did he eventually make his desire, then?’
Jin-Woo moreover got equipped. He concealed his right hand in the back of his lower back, and the ‘Baruka’s Dagger’ appeared there. He then closed his eyes.
His wildly beating coronary heart settled down certainly because the war drew near.
Thump, thump, thump….
dispose of distracting thoughts, and manipulate his respiration.
‘…..ok.’
whilst Jin-Woo reopened his eyes, a pointy sparkling mild have become now burning fiercely inside them.
Gulp.
Hunters forcibly swallowed down their dried saliva; bloodless sweat soaked their foreheads. on the other hand, Jin-Woo become busy smacking his lips.
‘How plenty experience factors will those guys provide me?’
a thin smile of anticipation unfold on his lips.
however, earlier than something should occur….
….one of the immoderate Orcs progressed.
It type of shoved apart other Orcs and emerged from the enterprise, its wild beast-like eyes searching in the course of the Hunters.
“Growl….”
This one possessed a much larger body than the others, and its fangs have been especially longer as nicely.
‘So, is that the chief?’
Jin-Woo narrowed his eyes.
If he got rid of that guy now, wouldn’t the fight grow to be a lot easier?
What should he do here, then?
Jin-Woo fiddled with the grip of the ‘Baruka’s Dagger’ and contemplated; inside the period in-between, that immoderate Orc opened its mouth.
“Kurerack tu sheena, wekudo araknaka.”
The creature’s voice positive sounded loud. The glare of the excessive Orc become constant to the leader of the raid team, Sohn Ki-Hoon.
“Kurerack tu sheena, wekudo araknaka!!”
Rustle, rustle….
Hunters’ gazes busily darted approximately.
“What the hell?”
“Is that thing attempting to speak to us?”
“what is it announcing?”
It modified into then.
The facial muscle mass of the high Orc began trembling. when that odd tremor subsided, a very amazing voice from in advance than came out from the monster’s mouth.
“people…..”
It was as though some thing else had borrowed the monster’s mouth to speak.
“Oh, humans….”
while looking at closer, that ordinary-searching Orc’s eyes were now unfocused and blurry just like the ones of a useless fish that died a long term inside the past.
“Heok!”
Hunters commenced freaking out as if the lower again of their heads have been smacked out of nowhere.
An Orc simply spoke a language of human beings!
‘How can an Orc communicate Korean?!’
‘is this magic? should it is??’
Hunters couldn’t preserve their mouths close at this absolutely unexpected state of affairs. The ‘chief’ immoderate Orc persisted to speak.
“i’m…. Karugalgan….. I…. want…. to…. meet…. people…. have a look at… this…. one.”
A monster desired to speak to human beings?
There in no way were any reviews of this kind of case earlier than.
going via this unheard of event, now not simplest Sohn Ki-Hoon however everybody in the raid group fell into a rustic of natural confusion.
“Ki-Hoon hyung, i’m hoping you ain’t being attentive to the words of a monster.”
“Please, you gotta forget about it.”
“Ki-Hoon-ah, it’s a trap. Regardless what occurs, we gotta attempt to finish it right here.”
“but, still. If it’s an Orc we are able to communicate to, possibly we can….”
“Don’t be an idiot. You’ve been indoors so many dungeons already, so don’t you recognize how they perform by means of now?”
In much less than a second, their evaluations had split up.
Sohn Ki-Hoon maintained his silence for some time, before answering the monster’s terms.
“….Karugalgan. Did you block the cavern?”
“That’s right….. i am…. the proud…. immoderate Shaman…. of the Orcs…. My spells…. can’t be…. damaged…. via the electricity of…. humans.”
“Is there all of us stronger than you inner this cave?”
“Who…. dares to…. oppose…. me!!”
a without a doubt loud roar exploded out from the excessive Orc and slammed into the eardrums of the Hunters. almost all of us frowned deeply and protected their ears, however Sohn Ki-Hoon become simply nodding his head, nevertheless looking as an alternative calm.
His expectation was at the cash.
The lifestyles speakme via that excessive Orc’s mouth turned into, clearly, the boss of this dungeon. because it couldn’t break out from the boss room until the time of the dungeon damage, it modified into summoning the Hunters to go into its lair rather.
‘I don’t apprehend why it wishes us there, but….’
whilst Sohn Ki-Hoon’s solution didn’t come right away, the leader excessive Orc raised its large awl above its head.
“Now, select…. Die right right here….. at the…. palms… of my soldiers…. Or…. follow… my… soldiers….”
“We’ll observe.”
Sohn Ki-Hoon’s instantaneous solution brought on the eyes of the Hunters to develop wider.
“Ki-Hoon hyung!!”
“Mister Ki-Hoon!”
Sohn Ki-Hoon interrupted his comrades looking to dissuade him and waited for the response of the excessive Orc.
“Then, come…. Human.”
With the prevent of these phrases, the blurred eyes of the chief immoderate Orc regained its original readability. And that might be wild beast-like glare of bloodlust. The creature spoke up yet again.
“Ashue tu reka.”
With that one sentence, the excessive Orc warriors burning with fierce hostility withdrew as if it became all a lie. The chief immoderate Orc waited with out chickening out, and beckoned to Sohn Ki-Hoon, telling him to comply with.
“permit’s get going as well.”
Sohn Ki-Hoon became the first to start on foot, and the hesitant Hunters started to observe after him one after the alternative.
‘what is he questioning?’
Jin-Woo stared with a puzzled expression on his face.
there was no question that now not handiest the boss but endless extra excessive Orcs would be looking forward to them in the boss room. that means, their odds of victory may be even lower on that aspect.
So, it changed into hard to parent out what Sohn Ki-Hoon turned into considering whilst he decided on to comply with the monsters.
‘Is he seeking to negotiate with the boss? to be able to get out of right here alive?’
despite the fact that the chances of that succeeding was extraordinarily low….
No.
maybe, this become for the better.
Jin-Woo on the begin believed that this raid would possibly surrender with him searching down a few mob creatures, but now, he were given himself a hazard to fulfill the boss, instead. He again the dagger back to his inventory and slowly observed after the institution.
honestly how long did they stroll?
Sohn Ki-Hoon bogged down his taking walks speed progressively and had arrived at Jin-Woo’s facet. after which, he called out with a hushed voice.
“Hunter-nim.”
“sure?”
Jin-Woo persevered searching on the the front at the equal time as answering him. Sohn Ki-Hoon, too, endured to stare at the backs of the excessive Orcs walking further up ahead.
“We… as quickly as we meet the boss, we’re going to assault right away. whilst that takes place, irrespective of whether or no longer our attack become a achievement or not, the b*stard ought to not be able to maintain the magic spell blocking off the go out.”
That made a certain quantity of experience.
till it became a few sort of hex-kind magic, one had to hold one’s recognition an awesome manner to maintain a spell. mainly if one desired to hold immoderate-elegance magic, an first rate mental recognition turn out to be a need.
however, what about it?
Didn’t remember variety whether they reach killing the boss or managed to cancel the magic blocking off the exit, they could nevertheless meet a canine’s death proper away within the boss room once you’ve got surrounded with the resource of the infinite excessive Orcs except.
the probabilities of this raid institution returning alive had been though pathetically low.
probably to answer Jin-Woo’s interest, Sohn Ki-Hoon spoke with a grave expression on his face.
“at the equal time as their interest is on us, Hunter-nim, please escape from the boss room. after you get out of the dungeon, you have to alert the main attack stress.”
by the point the assault team which incorporates rank S Hunters arrive right here, everything might be over for them. Sohn Ki-Hoon became on the brink of die.
“Are you taking into consideration demise along the boss?”
Jin-Woo sneaked a look at Sohn Ki-Hoon’s expression. His face remained hardened, however there was no wavering in his eyes.
“Our process isn’t to get out of this dungeon alive, however to close the Gates. Many human beings outdoor are paying us a splendid deal of cash for that purpose.”
Sohn Ki-Hoon’s voice obtained extra conviction as he spoke.
“we are able to do our process steady with what we’ve been schooling for. however, you’re unique. There’s no purpose a terrific manner to die here. i’m hoping you could get out of this location alive.”
One need to now listen the unwavering belief in his voice. His terms contained his dedication.
Jin-Woo realised that no longer whatever he may need to say proper now is probably of any help to Sohn Ki-Hoon.
So, he genuinely nodded his head as his respond.
Cha Hae-In ultimately arrived at the place of the second one rank A Gate.
She had her baseball cap driven down low, and as a end result, only a few passersby acknowledged her.
the first element she did turned into to are attempting to find out the mining team.
a few Hunters walked past her and sneaked a couple of glances, but they had been all running for the Guild anyway and none of them paid her any notable hobby after that.
ultimately, she have to see Foreman Bae within the distance – similarly to the mining group round him.
Thump, thump!
Her heart started out beating faster.
standing a hint little bit of distance a ways from them, she scanned the faces of each miner present.
‘where is he…?’
She couldn’t see Jin-Woo among them.
How ought to she say this? It felt like any of her energy have become forsaking her right away.
‘Did he surrender on being a miner?’
Why don’t I anticipate any other minute? He ought to have left the spot for best a second and is coming lower back fast.
3 minutes more.
No, maybe 5.
….And so, she waited for another 15 mins, however Jin-Woo didn’t show up in the long run.
“Fuu….”
After spitting out an extended sigh, Cha Hae-In became spherical to depart. however, only after taking a couple of steps, she grew to grow to be spherical time and again to her precise spot.
She yanked her cap off and took in severa deep breaths, before taking walks closer to Foreman Bae. The gazes of the mining group individuals were directed to her now.
happily, the stink wasn’t so terrible, perhaps due to the ranks of Hunters within the mining group being low.
“Uh? Uhhh?”
Recognising Cha Hae-In, Foreman Bae short ran over to her.
“Cha Hunter-nim? I notion you have been taking a damage today?”
“good day there.”
Cha Hae-In shared a clean greeting with Foreman Bae and after making sure that no person changed into eavesdropping on her, she cautiously asked him a question.
“through using any hazard… Is there a Hunter named Seong Jin-Woo running for you?”
“Mister Seong?”
being attentive to an surprising call being cited all of a unexpected, Foreman Bae shaped a surprised expression.
“in case you’re searching out Mister Seong, he subbed for a porter’s system….”
“A porter?!”
Cha Hae-In gasped out in marvel.
“Are you saying he sincerely went within the Gate?!”
Foreman Bae nodded his head vigorously as even though to reveal that he, too, couldn’t accept as true with it.
“sure, miss. That’s what passed off.”
A rank E Hunter volunteered as a porter and entered a rank A dungeon? And he didn’t without a doubt have dozens of lives or some thing, too.
‘What became he thinking?’
but, even as Cha Hae-In concept approximately it, didn’t she find that man loitering throughout the boss room the day past with guns in his arms? indeed, she did not see incorrect lower back then.
One more detail to be suspicious of, then.
even though she ended up letting skip of the day before today’s occasion as a accident, whilst she actually concept about it in detail, it modified into a as an alternative uncommon aspect for a Hunter with four years of revel in getting misplaced internal a dungeon like that.
‘I want to find out.’
She began questioning that she truely needed to confirm what this Hunter named Seong Jin-Woo wanted from her Hunters Guild. And as a way to do so, she had to input the dungeon.
now not handiest modified into she the vice chairman of the Hunters Guild, however she have become additionally a rank S Hunter as properly. no person ought to try to save you her if she desired to enter a dungeon in which the Hunters Guild changed into appearing a raid.
Cha Hae-In gently bit into her thumb at the identical time as brooding approximately her alternatives, in advance than unexpectedly making her choice.
“I’ll have to enter the Gate myself.”
