184 – To Qualify – 3
The next day. After all the fatigue from the white dungeon was relieved, we headed to Inwangsan Mountain.
Is it because of the ruins that occurred on Mt. Inwang? Soldiers surrounded the entire Inwangsan Mountain and were guarding incoming personnel.
“This is Cheonsuho, who applied for the invasion of Mt. Inwang.”
“We need to make sure that the number of people allowed to enter the ruins. Excuse me, do you have a license…”
We handed out our cadet cards. There shouldn’t be a problem since we got the qualification to enter the ruins by attacking the Manisan ruins the other day.
After checking our cadet cards, they opened the way, and Yeon Ji-ho and Ji Ah-yeong were able to enter by showing other qualifications.
“You’re on high alert.”
“It has to be. It’s on a different level from dungeons.”
Artifacts that can only be obtained from ruins are of considerable value.
As such, the dangers of the ruins were by no means small.
It’s the same as sending out monsters like a dungeon, but the number is far greater than that of a dungeon.
Of course, that doesn’t mean soldiers and heroes are protecting this place. What they are most wary of is preventing the villains from attacking the ruins.
Artifacts are quite powerful equipment. So if the villains get it and use it, people’s damage will increase.
Among some well-known villains, there are even those who caused a massacre with the artifacts obtained by attacking the ruins, so it was only natural that the heroes wanted to attack the ruins as quickly as possible when a ruin occurred in each country.
“Ah. Yeon Ji-ho hero.”
At that time, a hero found us and approached us. It seems that there are many people who know about Yeon Ji-ho, who has been quite active as an A-class hero. The hero who greeted him looked around at us behind him and smiled bitterly.
“I feel very uneasy about having to entrust the raiding of the ruins to the cadets. The investigation of this place is not over yet…”
“You don’t have to worry. The Taylor family and the Jin family’s heirs also participated.”
“Is that so? That’s a relief. Oh. And the villains who were targeting this ruin attacked yesterday.”
“…Really?”
Jiho Yeon’s expression slightly distorted.
In the worst case, it’s probably because we might fight the villain after we finish raiding the ruins.
It is difficult to capture the ruins, but it is not that difficult to attack the ruins and take the artifacts from those who came out exhausted. Originally, when you are hurt is the best time to attack.
It’s wise, but it’s better to use that wisdom for people.
“…This is why villains.”
Beside me, Jin Shi-yeon grumbled briefly. After calming her down, I watched Yeon Ji-ho listen to her precautions.
And having received a rescue request just in case, he said as he returned to us.
“Maybe there will be an attack by the villain after the raid on the ruins.”
“Is it the Blade of Dawn?”
“Well. Recently, it has been said that a lot of villains have gone under the blade of dawn, but not all of them are like that… Anyway, everyone be careful. Are you going to go in right away?”
“There’s no need to hesitate. Let’s go in.”
“Hmm.”
The mischievous look has completely disappeared. As Yeon Ji-ho took the lead, Cheon Soo-ho approached me and asked.
“Hey. By the way, Hero Yeon Ji-ho is also a tanker. I am also a tanker. Then how do I arrange them?”
“I’ll go with a system of two tanks. I’ll give you the Diamond Sutra and Cheonri while watching the situation.”
“Hmm. Yes. I believe in you.”
I have to believe only in my previous life. After preparing like that, we moved to the ruins of Inwangsan Mountain.
The inside of the Inwangsan ruins was made of forest unlike anything I’ve seen so far.
The endlessly vast forest revealed a terrible ominousness in itself.
“The energy of the forest makes you lose your way. I don’t think it’s just a forest.”
Ji Ah-young pulled out her own wand and slowly blew her power into it. It was a clear light that was created under her magic and spells. It perched above us and lighted the way.
“I think you’ll be attacked the moment you get off that road… Hey. Go inside.”
“What?! Why am I?!”
“Because it’s good to see it in person.”
“Sheesh.”
He clicked his tongue briefly and looked at me. First of all, he gave me the Diamond Sutra and Cheonriju, and he looked at his hand and smiled contentedly.
“I’ve heard that there are freshmen who can use ridiculous buffs. It’s just ridiculous.”
“Thank you.”
“I’m more grateful. Then I’ll go in.”
He took a small breath and stepped out of the path. And that moment.
-Ujijijik!!
The forest moved, branches falling like spear blades towards him. If it wasn’t for the Diamond Sutra and his high defense, there would have been holes here and there.
After barely using his skills to block the attacks of the tree branches, he returned to the trail again.
“See? You have to be careful walking down that trail. The trees will attack you the moment you stray from the path.”
“Wow… Ruins are definitely ruins.”
“This is a nobleman’s level. In other places, there are places where they seduce you and let you enter deeply, and then kill them on the spot.”
There was no such thing at the Manisan Ruins. It is said that the ruins are easy ruins.
“Perhaps you should pay attention to that when catching mid-bosses or bosses. You said that this boss is likely to be a bad guy? He’s famous for being clever and cruel… After deliberately pushing him that way, the opponent suffers.” I enjoy receiving them too.”
Of course it is, but it’s okay. There is an attack method and everything you need is prepared.
“Then let’s go.”
Red Wolves or snake-type monsters appearing mid-way blocked the way. However, it wasn’t too difficult to catch something like that with our current power, so we were able to get to the central area without a problem.
It’s a fairly large vacant lot. There are three roads that diverge there.
It didn’t matter which one I chose. Because I have to attack all of them anyway.
“Then, shall we attack from the far left?”
It’s the far left. We got our bearings and we moved right away. As soon as I entered the forest road on that side, I started hearing voices from the forest on the other side of the road.
– Here it is! Here it is!
– Hey hey hey… Someone please help me! Please…!!
It was a voice filled with sobs and earnestness. As Cheon Soo-ho tried to respond to the voice that made me think that he should go and save him right away, I punched him in the side.
What did he hear earlier?
“Ugh!”
“There are many cases where ghost-type monsters are lured in that way.”
“Ah. Is that so?”
“Just don’t react. If anything, at least wear earplugs.”
I took out the prepared items. Cheon Soo-ho, who saw that, immediately picked up and put on earplugs.
But others didn’t wear them.
“Is everyone okay?”
“Because a battle might break out.”
“I can endure this much.”
“Yes! Yes! I am a cold city woman with no blood or tears!”
You’re lying. I stroked Yoo Choa’s hair. Yeon Ji-ho and Ji Ah-yeong are skilled heroes, so they didn’t seem to care much…
Serenia looked finer than expected.
I was most anxious about him.
“Then Jesus said to him, “Go away, Satan. It is written, Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only. Matthew 4:10. There is no reason to react unnecessarily to nonsense.”
Wow. The usual drunkard’s appearance shows the devout priest’s appearance everywhere. This is great.
“Huh. Then let’s go.”
Wavering the rosary in her hand, she moved her steps leisurely. It puts her mind at ease that everyone is pretty than she thinks. I wonder if this will pass all the black dungeon screenings.
We arrived at the end of the road, ignoring the monsters that appeared halfway through, as well as the voices and shadows desperately calling for help. In a space that looks like an empty lot, there is only one child.
As soon as I saw a child sniffing with his head down.
“Die! Enemy of the Lord!!”
Because it’s a ghost type, it must have already died?!
I picked up a gun and shot it. A bullet that went right through the forehead knocked the child down, but Serenia only snorted.
“The filthy smell of running away from death wafts up!”
“…Uh. Uhh. Heh. Hee hee hee hee hee hee!!”
The fallen child gets up quickly. What appeared on the raised face were blood-red eyes. The child’s body twists and turns at the same time as the ominous feeling created by the flow of eye light.
-Bang! Bang! Bang!!
Like it or not, Serenia held up her cross and shot her bastard.
“To attack while transforming…”
“Heh! Attacking when the enemy is weak is the teaching of the Lord!”
“Yes. Yes. Good work. I will come out of my shell soon.”
The appearance of the child begins to change. Her slanted eyes stretched out and a long red tongue came out of her mouth full of sneers.
All that remains is one terrible ghost.
– Hee hee hee! Hee hee hee! How did know?!
“It smells. The smell. The filthy smell of the enemy of the Lord!!”
With a roar, Serenia raises her gun. Her ghost giggled at her, then thrust out her sharp claws.
– I’ll tear you apart and make you the master’s meal!!
Uh huh. Where to catch someone else’s team healer. I shouted after buffing everyone.
“Let’s destroy it!!”
With my signal, the battle to catch the first ghost has begun.
