5 – Meeting with childhood friend [EPISODE – 0]
After telling Si-eun that she was going outside for a while, she headed straight to the gate.
And, I faced the gate I had marked.
The gate in front of me now was a B-level gate for one person, and no one challenged it even after half a day had passed.
It was an unpopular gate called the so-called poop gate.
Maybe that’s why no one challenged the gate for 24 hours after the gate appeared.
“It’s not worth the challenge.”
I was puzzled at first.
The rewards from this dungeon weren’t that bad.
If you catch a few monsters and defeat the boss, you can get about 5 million won in money due to a pretty good grade of magic stone.
And it didn’t even take that long.
So I was puzzled, but when I saw the boss, I immediately knew why.
‘Hmm… The boss is King Poison Snake.’
The boss of this dungeon is a snake-like dimensional species that uses powerful venom.
The gate where this guy lives is often spread with strong miasma.
So, to clear this dungeon, antidote and cure are essential.
The price of the antidote and cure is quite formidable.
In other words, even if you clear this dungeon, the medicine will cost more.
It is bound to be a situation where the belly button is bigger than the belly.
That’s why I would never challenge a dungeon or something like normal.
‘Because I am immune to all conditions.’
However, I have immunity to status abnormalities due to my warrior skill.
So I don’t need to pay for treatment.
In other words, since I have no expenses, it is a very suitable place to test my skills.
‘Is it okay?’
I go through the gate
And a space like a dark cave spread out.
Purple miasma spread around.
[This is a space where powerful miasma spreads.]
[All miasma is blocked and nullified by EX-class skills.]
I was full of thoughts that if the skill didn’t work properly, I’d come out right away, but it seemed like it was activated properly.
Even though there is poison in front of my eyes right now, there is nothing wrong with me.
Inside the gate, which should have been as painful as entering the chemical and biological room, now I can breathe as if I’m breathing in fresh air.
Because of this, it is immune to miasma, so it can be said that half of the gate has been cleared.
Now, the key to clearing this gate is actually how to deal with miasma.
However, it is still too early to be relieved.
Saying that you’ve cleared half of it is the same as saying that you haven’t cleared half of it yet.
“Shaa~~~”
As I stepped into the gate, the glinting eyes of the dark cave were glaring at me.
The identity of the pupil was a snake-type dimensional species called ‘Junior Poison Snake’.
As a dimensional species born from the King Poison Snake, these guys are also C-class dimensional species that use powerful poison.
But, at least it’s a C-class, rubbish mob.
I was just dealing with it quickly.
squeak.
I severed the snake in front of me.
Even if I didn’t have EX-class skills in the first place, I’m a hunter who had A-class abilities before retirement.
Even if you haven’t worked as a hunter for a long time, you can take down a snake like that with a piece of cake.
squeak.
squeak.
Did you kill about 20 of them like that?
There were no more live Junior Snakes to be seen.
I’ve killed every Junior Snake in sight.
‘If I wait now, the boss will appear.’
So now the boss will come to me on his own.
Now I just have to wait, relax, and wait.
‘I never thought the hero’s skill would be this powerful.’
And while I was taking a break, I felt once again that my skills were enormous.
The first effect of the skill
[One. All physical abilities increase significantly overall.] I expected how much physical abilities would increase, but it was really beyond my imagination.
The body was too light. My thoughts were so clear.
It’s not just my physical abilities that have gone up, I can feel that everything has gone up, including my reflexes, accuracy, and judgment.
It felt completely different from the previous battles I had been fighting.
After all, it was undoubtedly a fairly fraudulent skill.
[Gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg gg]
As I was thinking about that, the ground began to shake.
Looks like the boss is about to appear.
“You’re here.”
I got up and grabbed my sword again.
And I faced the boss mob that came to me.
King Poison Snake.
A King Poison Snake that boasts a much larger size than Junior Snake.
It is a dimensional species that fights hunters using powerful miasma and sharp teeth.
“Shaaa~~”
King Poison Snake glared at me for a moment before headbutting me with lightning speed.
After all, it’s a snake-shaped dimensional paper, so the speed is formidable.
visor!
I countered King Poison Snake’s attack with my sword.
It was definitely a heavy attack because I was afraid who wasn’t the boss mob, but it wasn’t to the extent that I couldn’t block it.
No, it was too slow.
King Poison Snake’s attack looks like a slow video.
I was able to stare at the boss’s every attack in slow motion.
However, I couldn’t avoid it, because my body also slowed down in that slowed down time.
I guess I need to adapt to this time.
‘If I hadn’t acquired the skill, I might have had a bit of trouble.’
If I hadn’t acquired the warrior skill, I wouldn’t be able to guarantee victory when fighting 1:1.
First of all, the poison was a problem, but even so, the speed of the King Poison Snake made no sense.
The movement was so fast that it easily exceeded the speed of sound.
I’m not a weakling, of course, but it’s fair to say that the King Poison Snake is a tricky foe.
However, I am very strong.
squeak.
My sword quickly aimed at Snake’s head.
When King Poison Snake was startled and tried to dodge my sword with his unique reflexes, it was already too late.
At that time, my sword had cut King Poison Snake’s head.
I slashed the Poison King Snake.
Tring!
[You have defeated the boss of the gate.]
message was heard.
It’s a familiar sound you hear when you clear the gate.
sparkle!
And with that familiar sound, welcome things also came out.
It was a blue-colored magic stone, a B-class magic stone that appeared at a B-class gate.
All in all, it was an amount worth about 5 million won.
I packed these things in my bag and left the gate.
So I returned to the real world and headed straight to the place.
It was a hop house.
“Big…”
drank beer
The cool carbonated alcohol coolly wets my throat.
‘The sword has been swung so well today.’
And as I drank, I remembered what had just happened at the gate.
Originally, I went to the Hunter Academy to learn swordsmanship, but I didn’t wield it this well.
My swordsmanship was inferior, maybe it was because I didn’t have a proper teacher, but I just wielded it like a normal hunter.
However, now I felt a strange aura from the sword.
Every time I wielded something, it felt like my skills increased significantly.
Every time I swing it, I realize what the problem is with my sword, and I constantly think about how to wield it in a better way.
Every time I wield it now, I began to see things I hadn’t seen before.
It would be correct to say that something was being corrected in order to be able to wield the sword better.
Did you mean this by saying that all of the skill’s growth rates are tripled?
It’s a vague feeling of knowing.
‘I’ve only swung it a few times… if it’s this much…’
And while thinking about the skill, I had no choice but to look forward to it.
And I only swung my sword a few times and caught monsters, but I became much stronger than before.
What would happen to me if I killed more dimensional species and swung my sword like this?
With a trivial question, I smiled slightly.
I felt like I could become stronger than anyone else.
How will I ever change?
I couldn’t imagine it.
“By the way… why am I not drunk?”
As I thought about that and drank my glass again, I felt a question.
Originally, I would have been slightly drunk, but I didn’t get drunk at all.
Besides, the alcohol was not very tasty today.
It was just like drinking a bitter liquid.
‘Ha… Does immunity to all abnormal conditions include this…’
I thought I knew why this situation had come to me.
[2. You are immune to all status ailments.] Apparently, getting drunk is treated as a status ailment.
ugh…
It seems that there are not only good things about being a warrior skill.
It seems too big to not feel the taste of alcohol.
I suddenly want to throw away my warrior skills…
That’s how I was drinking a tasteless glass of wine with a bitter expression on my face.
“Huh? Isn’t that Siwoo?”
“Inari?”
“It’s been a while Siwoo.”
I met a friend after a long time.
It was my childhood friend, Inari.
“how have you been?”
Inari, my childhood friend whom I greet brightly.
He is currently the 4th best hunter among S-class hunters.
He is a childhood friend who dumped me in the past.
