Paper 147 Excavation of Ruins
Samhyeon PMC’s assistant team leader [Choi Yun-ha] was originally assisting the [Knights of the Cold Cold] who were attacking the [Indomitable Tower].
It was her and the team’s job to save their stamina and block the variables in advance when and how it would happen.
That’s why they had to attack the 8th floor first, and they had to pave the way ahead.
But it was too much.
Their average rating was A, and they were armed personnel between strength levels 5 and 7 who could not be S-class.
As the [Frigid Knights] reached the 11th floor, their role was over.
“… … after.”
Choi Yoon-ha wiped the sweat off her chin and looked at the sand castle far away. [Indomitable Tower] This is the main attack point for the newly commissioned ruins after the auxiliary role is over.
“Chief, I think this is enough. All maps have been completed except for the main sandcastle where the boss mob is located.”
“What about dismantling the trap and building the supply depot?”
“This is the end. It can be finished in an hour.”
Ruins of the Class B Red Desert tribe.
Surrounded by deserts, Samhyeon PMC was waiting for the top hunter to serve as a VIP.
Choi Yoon-ha’s assistant team, who assisted [Knights of Cold Cold], is the highest-level assistant tip in Samhyeon PMC.
A team with an average grade of A.
Of course, for the current team, it is not difficult to attack these B-grade medium-sized ruins. But the reason there is a support team is because of the VIPs up there.
It is not that they, including Choi Yun-ha, do not have a desire to attack ruins on their own, obtain rewards, and become stronger.
No, on the contrary, I hope more intensely than others.
‘I decided to receive 9% of the artifacts from this attack.’
5% of that will be taken from Samhyeon PMC, the rest goes back to the auxiliary team. That’s why you suffer so much.
Choi Yoon-ha can become an S-class with only the artifacts. No, it’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s already S-class, and it’s armed enough.
It’s just that I’m still in this position because there was no successor to lead the auxiliary team.
‘Let’s do a little more. In a few years, I’ll be able to take over the team leader and move to the main strategy team.’
Choi Yoon-ha looked at the team members and said a word.
“Let’s all suffer a little bit. After this raid, a new artifact will be given.”
“yes! sure. There is nothing wrong with this!”
“The team leader has to go to the main team now!”
They earn high salaries.
But anyway, I am an office worker. If you’re an A-rank hunter, playing free makes more money. Still, the biggest reason I’m on this support team is that I can use artifacts that the average A-class would never dream of.
Compared to the risk of the work you do, the quality of the artifacts you get is significantly greater. It’s not something you can fully own, but it’s undeniable that it’s the safest and fastest way to become an S-class.
It is the same even with this ruin attack.
If it wasn’t for the fire resistance artifact set given by Samhyeon, I wouldn’t be able to stand comfortably like this.
Even considering the price of the set alone, it is tens of billions of won per person. There were 8 people, so they lent artifacts worth hundreds of billions.
If not Samhyun, where else could he do this? Not just fire resistance, but the armor, accessories, weapons, etc. that you have been wearing all along.
If you look at the price of each one, it is an artifact of an amount that she could not dream of even if she collected an A-class throughout her life.
“Is it today? That the capture team is coming.”
“Yes, in two hours.”
“I wonder who it is. A VVIP who takes care of us, who are the best in PMC, and pays only 9% commission.”
Hyeyeon Choi smiled.
Since when did you care about that?
She ran through the pad.
『Remnants of the Red Desert [Desert] [B] [Lv. 06]』
: The tribes of the Red Desert were engulfed in flames when the red dawn fell and burned the monsters, and when the moon rose, they cooled down and promised the next battle.
* [Medium Ruins]
* [Desert space]
* [Brilliant Oasis]
“Did you mark the brilliant oasis as well?”
“Yes, I think this place will be used regularly. After completing the Ruins raid, the place with the highest value is here.”
Yunha Choi nodded.
It’s not bad.
It was because it was full of the finest water that could only be collected from Yeongsan Mountain, worthy of its name [Brilliant Oasis].
The most valuable thing in conquering the ruins is the ancient artifact called [Relic], but it’s the end if the first conqueror takes it.
After that, things like regenerated monsters and [Brilliant Oasis] have the greatest value.
“Don’t let go of tension until the end and stay focused. Because you don’t know when and how variables will arise. Until the VIP attack is over!”
Choi Yoon-ha shouted like that.
And several hunters appeared at the entrance of the ruins. She tried to get closer and say hello, but the moment she confirmed the VIP, her face couldn’t help but harden.
* * *
『Hercia’s Flower [Frost/Firemaster] [Rare] [Lv. 8] “
: A magic engineer’s magic circuit with a genius talent for Hercia’s horns and snowflakes. The hand of the producer with delicate dexterity reached and completed a mysterious result.
*[Hersia’s Crystal]
*[Advanced Cold Force Field]
[Hercia’s Cold] is an option that governs the creation and control of cold air by combining the Snowflake’s [Cold Air Generation] and the Horn’s [Cold Air Control].
It has become an artifact that can freely handle a considerable amount of cold as if it had acquired cold-related characteristics.
This alone is a great artifact.
The stationmaster was made separately.
This thermal force field made of cold gives it strong resistance to fire and adaptability to cold.
I’m still only level 8 and haven’t reached [History]. Because there is no story and no time, only the level is high.
‘This is enough.’
You don’t have to force it to historical grade. You don’t even need to set a level. There was no need to forcefully consume SP.
First of all, hercia and snowflakes themselves were [higher] ingredients, so it wasn’t an option that would be good anywhere.
“Wow, is this great? This will be the ruin gum.”
“I only made three. My artifact is made of predator-grade horn, so I’ll periodically field it. Maintenance must be done by each person. President Jeong Woo-yeon has quite a bit of magic power, so you can maintain it yourself, and Hee-yeon and Miji can be maintained with what I paid for them.”
There were three snowflakes in total.
So there were only three [Flowers of Hersia] that could use the cold force field.
Unfortunately, President Jung Woo-yeon can use fire resistance black magic on his own, so it will be okay even if the force field given by Ji-hoo is released.
However, Heeyeon and Miji were level 7 because their power levels were still low, but it was safe to have [Hercia’s Flower] one by one.
So they entered the ruins.
Anger-!
A red and blue light enveloped them.
At the same time, the field of vision changed brightly and the vast desert landscape came into view. I saw 8 hunters on one side, and I saw the team leader Oh Yong-pil standing next to him.
“… … ?”
Jihoo tilted his head.
Because it looked like someone I had seen.
It seems like they are too.
“… … !”
“At that time, the surprise attack on the second floor… … ?”
“… … .”
They looked puzzled as if they recognized Jihoo and Lee Heeyeon. From Lee Hee-yeon’s point of view, it seems that she was remembered as the hunter who ambush Ji-hoo.
At that time, team leader Oh Yong-pil opened his mouth.
“… … hahahaha, I remember having a bad accident at that time. That hunter has been kicked out and now he can’t even live as a hunter, so I’d appreciate it if you could be kind to him.”
Well, if you think about it, only one hunter who had a fight with Lee Hee-yeon was at fault. Yoon Ha-ra Choi, head of the assistant team, rather bowed her head and apologized.
It’s not that you did anything wrong.
“I have long forgotten. We just focus on attacking.”
Jihoo said.
Lee Hee-yeon also nodded, apparently not feeling that deeply.
Team leader Choi Yoon-ha also didn’t change his facial expression outwardly, whether it was because he didn’t think much of it or because he had a good poker face.
But something was burning inside her.
‘The VIPs were these people.’
yes, it can be
The problem was their power level. These are the people who were on the second floor just a few months ago. A hunter named Lee Hee-yeon was at level 4 in military power, and I remember that she barely made it to the 5th floor.
President Shin Ji-hoo.
He is a producer in appraisers. I don’t have any bad feelings for him. Rather, I am grateful for the grace given to the [Knights of the Cold Cold].
however.
Wasn’t he someone who had almost no power level until just a few months ago? How is it that they attack the B-class ruins in 3 days?
she heard
Even if I didn’t know who the VIP was, I heard that they are active on the 8th floor of the [Tower of Indomitables], and attack the ruins to get flame-related artifacts before going up to the 11th floor.
Of course, I thought it would be an S-class hunter.
‘That doesn’t make sense.’
From nob le mt l. co m
My stomach boils.
Bubbling, like boiling water.
No, like boiling lava.
It wasn’t anger or jealousy towards them. It was anger and despair at his own weakness.
fought all his life
So what I got was an A grade at level 7 of power. Even so, I still thought about being on the auxiliary team for 10 years.
I thought that only then would I be able to become a full-fledged S-rank and confidently step into the Samhyun main attack team.
however.
These are only a few months.
‘Could this be the difference in talent?’
The world was unfair.
Choi Yun-ha’s eyes were filled with despair.
But nothing could be done.
* * *
“I see despair.”
It was out of the blue.
President Jung Woo-yeon opened his mouth, Jihoo and Lee Hee-yeon. And Miji Kim pricked up her ears.
“yes?”
“The team leader of the Samhyeon auxiliary team, who just passed by. I feel sorry for myself and despair. Warlocks are sensitive to feeling the feelings of others.”
“… … okay.”
“I don’t see any malice. It’s hopeless, but it doesn’t seem to be the style of giving it to others. He is a strong-willed person.”
Jihoo nodded.
Team leader Choi Yun-ha, whom he saw, was like that. He was humble, firm, and a great man who knew how to apologize.
‘It’s not something I care about.’
They entered the desert ruins.
It is a desert full of sand.
The scorching heat and sunlight, with your feet sinking deeply, deliver more pain than you can imagine. If it wasn’t for the [Flower of Hersia] that Jihoo made, his stamina would have plummeted.
Jihoo didn’t even shed a single drop of sweat because he had a [witch’s robe]. In addition, the main monster spawn points and traps on the map created by the auxiliary team. And since [Brilliant Oasis] was there, it was not difficult to capture.
The problem was the sandcastle with the main boss, but it was supposed to be attacked on the second day.
It means there is still time to talk.
“It probably has to be that way.”
President Jung Woo-yeon looked at Jihoo and said.
Jihoo knows what that means.
“It’s all tempting.”
“hahahaha, that’s true, but making artifacts is also President Shin’s ability. Just like I create and use the undead.”
“Yes.”
Jihoo shrugged.
it could be. But it’s none of Jihoo’s concern. If it’s unfortunate, I’ll collect the money and come to you myself.
“This is the area where sand worms appear. Prepare for battle.”
Koogoo Palace-
The sandy floor began to vibrate.
Starting with Sand Worm, the most basic monster, scorpions and snakes will appear, and skeletons and mummies from the Red Desert will appear.
All of them are objects with fire properties.
shoot aaa-
Jihoo pulled out a stream of water from the [Witch’s Robe], and froze the ends with the cold extracted from the [Hersia Flower].
President Jung Woo-yeon took out the Death Knight and Dullahan and sent them forward, Kim Mi-ji attacked by mixing [cold] with [wind] excluding [fire], and Lee Hee-yeon charged with cold energy in the great sword of the iron stingray.
Kwaaang-!
An intense shockwave spread in all directions and the sand rushed like waves. The high-speed attack on the B-class medium-sized ruins has begun.
And it wasn’t too difficult.
It was thanks to the perfect blocking of the most annoying flames and heat. They quickly ran towards their primary goal.
