120 – Sketch
I shook my head and looked down at the wolves again.
After throwing a few skull bombs in addition to the pack of wolves arranging their battle lines, they threw themselves down.
Several times, he chose those who were damaged and couldn’t control his body properly, and thrust the dagger into them several times.
– Acquired very little EXP.

As expected, there was not even a hint of improvement in the level. These guys and mine will be at least five levels raw, so I think it’s better to set expectations in the first place.
Wow wow wow―!!
Without even time to breathe, I heard a cry announcing the 2nd wave. The hunters all turned their heads in the direction of the cave at the trembling that radiated from the resonant chamber much deeper than normal guys.
I also took advantage of the lull and moved to where our party was.
‘It holds up better than I thought.’
Although the stamina of the summons seemed a little off, I was still satisfied with the solid defense line.
However, Baek Ah-rin, who was placed in the forefront, was pouring sweat all over her body like rain, but outside, she looked very dangerous because she was naked amidst the melee unfolding in such an isolated space.
Even at a cursory glance, her arms and thighs, where her inner flesh was exposed, were packed with large and small wounds.
‘A wound like that will heal quickly, but aren’t you overlooking the bleeding too much…?’
Hunter shouldn’t have the mindset of ‘Well, this is it’ no matter what opponent, but Arin tended to have less of a sense of danger against enemies inferior to her.
“Haa- January has arrived. It’s finally the champion wave. It’s a little burdensome to deal with more than two of them.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll cover it with rocks.”
Looking at the exhausted Arin, she rather thought that it would be right for her to improve her basic skills a little more in this dungeon.
Or, there is also a route where she falls into the government and catches the villains. Given her quick feet, excellent hearing, and one-on-one combat abilities, I think she’s perfect for that…
After a brief moment of thought, the boss finally appeared. Champion of Lesser Dire Wolf.
It was a little bigger than normal wolves, and it was easy to tell them apart from normal wolves because it was a mutant with small horns sprouting from its head.
Of course, those horns are for decoration now, but when you meet the Dire Wolf, who has risen to a higher level later, he will show a completely different fighting style.
Dada da da da—
A total of ten bosses appeared. Two of them ran towards us without delay.
“Why are they attacking us first, who are the furthest away?!”
“Whoa- Okay. I’ll take care of both of them, so please take care of the rest!”
Arin took a step forward as if I could solve this much. She has more experience in D-class dungeons than we do, and she tends to go out alone today, perhaps because she is the party leader.
She didn’t have to do that, but she tried to keep an eye on it because it wasn’t polite to stop her if she said she would. I was also looking forward to it, wondering if she was going to show ‘lightning steps’ again.
When I was paying attention to her movements, two more champions rushed after the two that rushed at us. Four in total.
“……! Let’s fight together!! We are one! Teamwork! Teamwork!!”
She jumped up, Arin, she hurriedly stepped behind me and she shouted.
“hahahaha! Come on, these guys!”
“Ugh- Arin, why are you living like that…”
“What, what am I!”
Jua saw her friend’s ugliness and fanned her own face for no reason.
“Four of them are crazy. I don’t know why half of them are coming to us, but they block the road!”
Removing her hand from her flushed face, Bae Joo-ah blocked a part of the road ahead with her favorite ‘rock barrier’, and Arin and I took charge of those who were divided into several branches as they returned.
And the other two were taken by Lizard No. 1 And Knottooth No. 2.
Lizard No. 1, Which has just risen in rank, will not be an easy fight against the champion, and the Orc warrior ‘Raintooth No. 2’, Whose rank is much higher than the original wolf, will be easily dealt with.
“Encircle! Because there is no training in the dungeon!”
Of course, as Yeon-hee said, there was no need to fight honestly one-on-one. Even if one was blocked, the summoned beasts rushed at him like bees, and Yeon-hee’s bow and Jua’s rock magic [Rock Fist] Aimed at the blind spots of the champion wolves.
Arin, who was already in one-on-one with the champion next to me, was skillfully shedding his front paws and teeth attacks, gradually building up her damage.
The champion obviously showed overwhelming physical ability than a normal wolf, but it seemed difficult to hit Arin because it had to be a certain level difference.
And when Arin pushed the wolf to the fullest, I had already stuck the dagger to the champion’s neck and pinned it to the floor.
Keugegege-!
The fight is over the moment he grabs the scruff of his neck and lays him on the ground after feeding a bomb to the one who rushes at him.
Rather, it felt more difficult to deal with when surrounded by 5-6 wolves.
– Killed the Lesser Dire Wolf Champion!
– Obtained the Rune of Speed (Intermediate)!
– Acquired a small amount of experience!
It was easy to subdue the lesser dire wolves as they are now because they only fought physically, but those who were later promoted were not at such a pitiful level.
The horns that sprouted from the champion were not for physical fighting, but a body part with magical potential. Thinking of the lightning bolts coming out of their horns, these guys were at the level of cute companion dogs.
Puck-puck-!
“Let’s go!! Panting- how about it! You damn dog!”
Arin, covered in blood all over her arms, kicked the back of the defeated champion and said exhilaratingly.
Still, as a person specialized in one-on-one battles, he was able to subdue faster than No. 1 And No. 2, Who were cooperating with other summoned beasts.
“Chuwaak!!”
The Lizard 1, which is in a pincer attack with the Lizard troops, still struggled. It seemed difficult to keep up with the champion’s agile movements, and the sharpened machete cut through the air.
On the other hand, due to the wolf’s claw attack, the skin of No. 1 Was exposed in several places and was spurting blood.
However, when Specter joined in to help Lizard 1, the balance turned around in an instant, and the rest of the champions were eventually overpowered.
It seemed that the reason why it took so long to catch a champion even though the summoned beasts attacked was due to the decrease in physical strength due to ‘bleeding’.
Maybe that’s why there were not one or two summoned beasts who were struggling against the normal wolves that started to come in again.
At that time, the ‘bleeding’ of the summoned beasts gradually subsided at the sound of refreshing singing that came from somewhere.
――♪
‘…Hahm Eun-yeong, it’s definitely useful.’
It wasn’t just dispelling mental magic. Ham Eun-young’s skill that even shows the ability to delay the deterioration of abnormal conditions.
A bard possessing the ability to exert multiple effects, this was a lumber that was hard to miss.
‘Hmm… Mage, bard, melee dealer…’
If you think of the summons as tanks, if you have a proper ranged physical attacker or a mage who is more specialized in attacks, a plausible assortment would have been matched.
Yeon-hee is in charge of the long-range attacker, so there were two people who immediately came to mind when thinking of magicians. Noh Ha-yoon from the ice type and unique from the natural type.
However, it’s a little disappointing that Yudalli’s personality overlaps with Bae Jooah. Because both are close to the support type.
On the other hand, Noh Ha-yoon has a clear affiliation, so it is a problem that he is a talented person who cannot be with him for a long time. Of course, unpredictability also plays a part, but it’s not a big problem because I can control it.
‘If you make a guild with such a combination…’
I jumped back into the bosom of the swarming wolves and began drawing a sketch of an ideal future.
――― “It’s over, it’s over. hahahaha.”
When the seemingly never-ending wave ended, Bae Joo-ah barely smiled as she looked at the cavity full of wolves’ corpses.
The smile he made with his face covered in bloody flesh looked like something out of a horror movie, but thanks to that, he was able to see Bae Joo-ah’s face again with his glasses off.
She brushed off the by-products from her face, but she put on a sullen expression as if she didn’t like something.
‘Just by looking at your face, the world is kind…’
I thought it didn’t suit me to ripped off the runes from the guys who were chasing us earlier with a face like that.
– The summoning circle has disappeared. Everyone please come out of the cave. Notice once again. I’m going to close the barrier soon, so everyone get out of the cave-
The management staff outside sent me a sign to leave.
“Huh- Yeon-hee, how was your day?”
“It was fun for me. At first, I didn’t get used to it… But I think the first boss battle has its own pleasure.”
“hahahaha? That’s really unusual, Mr. Yeonhee.”
“Ah… Is that so?”
One hunter who was dragged to pieces while floating in the air was the only fatality, but there were many other hunters with near-severe injuries. However, perhaps because of the relief that it was over, people’s voices gave off a very bright feeling.
– Did it end well? Honestly, wasn’t it more than double the usual amount?
– Yes, it’s a miracle that only one person died…
– Ah- f*ck my legs… No matter how random the number of champions is, this is the real Eva. I cleared this place a few times, but suddenly like this? Aigoo – no luck.
– Well, isn’t it thanks to the summoner over there? I was really crazy about the quantity.
– People say he’s a genius these days, but he’s real. Shouldn’t you say thank you and at least tell your face?
– Arthur… I heard he doesn’t mix with people who don’t have talent.
– What? Are you real?
‘Where did you hear the rumors that didn’t sound like words… Are you that bastard? Little Red Riding Hood.’
I remembered the face of the guy I met during the promotion test. I was still thinking about it once a day. That way, even if you pass by, you can cook it right away.
One person dies, but it is not correct to say that it ended smoothly, but the boss battle is a high-risk, high-return game in the first place.
That’s why the Earth Spirits never participate in boss battles. This is because monsters do not appear as reliably as in the field, and there are many variables, so the risk is much higher.
People whose faces are bright even though it was a tough battle are people who have saved anything, and people who are frowning as they are are people who did not have a lot of income. Reaching the top spot in terms of contribution is not that easy.
“Doesn’t it seem like we’re at the top of our contribution?”
“Yeah! Thanks to Mr. Yeonhee.”
“No hehehe-“
“The number of runes is fixed, so I got a lot, but the number is zero… No matter how random it is, shouldn’t I reflect this much suffering?”
Our party had a boss battle and got 11 runes of speed, including 4 runes taken from the bodies of champions. Normally, it would have been a satisfactory harvest, but none exceeded 17. That’s why Jua is so angry.
We caught our breath for a while and then got out of the wolf’s den. It was because the boss stage, which lasted nearly an hour, was already slowly descending into the dungeon.
I made my summoned beasts hold torches and walked while lighting up the surroundings. If you do this, you will attract a lot of aggro from the monsters, but if you attack me, it was thank you from my point of view.
It will take time until the next evolution
