135 – Battles always start
“Huh? That bearded man, who came with us when we returned from the wolf’s den…”
“Ahh- that’s right. The guy who was carried on his back is over there. Is his leg healed already? Did he spend some money?”
A man with sideburns and thick beard.
He was the leader of the party that returned from the wolf’s den with us. Was the name he said when he came to ask for it was Park Gwang-bae? It was a name anyway.
Park Gwang-bae, a bearded man who stepped forward, spoke to a man who seemed to be the leader of a middle-aged party.
“Hey… By any chance… Do you intend to try that…?”
“······ Hu- what else are you?”
Even though Park Gwang-bae asked very carefully, the words that came out of his mouth were studded with thorns. First of all, they won’t like the fact that they show interest in the thing they found first.
Although he is smiling servilely, Park Gwang-bae must have made his own calculations and came out. If I had to, I’d be willing to give up fighting.
‘Asura… It’s not the level you’re going to see.’
There were two more people than at the middle-aged party, and there were also two talented people that I hadn’t seen before, so it seemed like I was stabbing myself once… But it couldn’t be.
At best, his strength is enough to make friends with the four middle-aged party members who are confronting him right now.
A glance-
While Park Gwang-bae was talking to the man, his eyes were on the wizard party and the one island party behind him.
‘I’m helping you like this, but you’re not going to do anything?’ It was the eyes that seemed to say.
Because he also notices wizards and one island parties, he was seriously contemplating with his brow furrowed.
The weapon was already firmly in his hand, but it seemed that the destination had not yet been decided.
To some extent, it went as Park Gwang-bae thought, but it was not a balance that would be broken to that extent in my opinion.
If the middle-aged party had been overwhelming enough to match the other two teams, it would have been as Park Gwang-bae thought, but the situation where the three parties had no significant difference in combat power.
Rather than thinking of joining forces to recreate a team, if I move first, I’ll start with the situation where I get stabbed in the back of the head.
It was a number that could come out if you think about it a little, but it was inevitable that Park Gwang-bae’s judgment was clouded while his body was overheated.
I must have been coveted. At the very least, he must have hoped that he would be the last one among the opposing forces.
“Kuhmm…”
Perspiration began to drip from Park Gwang-bae’s forehead.
The two talented people standing behind him also chewed their lips.
They don’t have as good a sense as I do, so they would have realized it only after seeing them directly or approaching them from a close distance. Oh, it’s not like this.
The two players reached the same level as me. However, it was meaningless unless all of Park Gwang-bae’s party members were at that level.
It’s another matter if you have great skills or characteristics, but it wasn’t like that.
‘Shall we jump into the box?’
There were too many eyes to put such thoughts into action.
For a moment, a battle of nerves unfolded between them and the party who had been approaching the box. There is a team that discovered it first, but as time passed, that was not an important factor.
Which party is stronger?
Who will survive the fight?
Is it worth the damage to fight?
These thoughts are put on the table of reason and desire, which are nestled in the head, and are busily evaluated.
Flinch- flinch-
As the wind passed through their necks, the shoulders of the hunters in confrontation bounced up several times at the sound of grass rustling.
The momentum to do it all the time. As the oldest hunter in this position, I assure you that the moment even one person pulls out a weapon, this place will become a mess.
S- S- S- Suk-
Lastly, Yeon-hee summoned all of the Lizard units. Then all the onlookers rose from their seats and waited for the signal to sound.
We must have been seated in the crowd, but as the nearly 70 hunters gradually increased their magical energy, we came to a situation where we couldn’t help but fight.
Glance-
Beads of sweat dripped down Park Gwang-bae’s chin. There is nothing so quiet about this moment. Up to 150 eyes stare at him.
If you didn’t know it would flow into this atmosphere, it would be an experience as it is.
‘Back off. It’s better to be embarrassed for a while.’
Park Gwang-bae turned his lost gaze around and reached the summoned Lizard unit.
Over 30 summons. Power enough to fit the word unit.
Gulp-
Park Gwang-bae’s neck rose sharply once, and then he turned his head toward the middle-aged party and said while bending his back deeply.
“Sir, excuse me.”
“Heh heh, that’s really absurd. Are you going to turn it off soon?”
I wanted to gather courage even though not a single Yeon-hee in the audience could handle it.
Why don’t you call that one?
The man who received the apology must have thought of that while looking at Park Gwang-bae.
However, Park Gwang-bae was not a very easy-going person. He turned his back on the man, but in a way he was a man with a great pulpit.
It’s because it’s not as easy as you think to turn around like that in front of an opponent who has already exchanged momentum with each other.
Of course, Park Gwang-bae was dripping with cold sweat from the eerie energy rising up on his back, but no one but me would know that.
“Shouldn’t you give in first and then try next?”
At this point, you’re bound to think that way. I wonder if it’s okay to just give in to the other team and if that team fails, we should try for the next opportunity.
It is said that after anyone is sucked into subspace, the mimic disappears whether they succeed or fail.
Then you might think that it would be okay to wait for the person who entered the subspace and take the loot.
However, it is known that when the match with the mimic is over and you get out of the subspace, it will fall to another random location in the dungeon.
This is also a word floating around like a rumor, but I was certain because I heard it from someone with experience.
Jeobeok- Jeobeok-
Six hunters, including Park Gwang-bae, soon left and started moving to the hunting ground. Looking at the wooden box with a face full of regret.
Of course, I could have a chance to look at it again from a little distance away, but a dog with its tail lowered once could not stand still.
“Tsk- You’re really pathetic. He pretended to be so naive when he asked for help. He was an insidious person. Is this why I don’t suffer from distrust of humans?”
“I don’t like people like that either.”
Well, one team was left out anyway. The fewer competitors, the better.
“Hunters gathered here!
‘Is this what you’re trying to say?’
A middle-aged man who seemed to have priority now raised his hand and said. He seemed to have decided that he couldn’t do it anymore after seeing the flying flies attacking him.
“This box was the first we found! You all know that it is forbidden to attack monsters that other parties are fighting!!”
“Hey, Mister. When did you fight? We saw everything from the back that you just stared at.”
“I was planning a strategy. Mimics aren’t normal monsters? And I’m talking right now, so why not interrupt?”
“Sounds like a strategy… Ehh…”
“……Anyway, we’re right to choose first! But these two teams prevented us from taking action! We didn’t want to fight! Really!”
‘The tongue is long…’
As the middle-aged man was clearing his throat with an extra nudge, something went wrong with the wooden box.
Rumbling-! Leak-!!
The box rocked and rocked like crazy on the ground, then the rusted lock on the box fell to the ground.
Then, the door of the box opened slightly, and a tongue the size of a human palm protruded out with a thud.
Naleum-Naleum-
Tongue swaying rapidly up and down.
Then two legs on the bottom of the box and arms on the side of the box stood out into the world.
Its limbs were short and thick, as if four bodies of shrieking mushrooms were attached to a box.
It was the size of a small refrigerator, so it was quite tall, so it had the appearance of a monster, but its short limbs that evoked laughter made it less vigilant.
People felt both surprise and fear at the same time, but as if possessed by something, they were gradually being drawn towards the box.
From noble mtl dot com
The box waddled around for a while, then stopped in place and rattled the box.
– Ah. Ah. I am! Golden Mimic Tania-sama’s faithful subordinate! Brown Mimic Tiny! I can’t stand watching your pitiful behavior any longer, so I’m here! No, did you come? I did it…?
—!!
Everybody knows that there are talking monsters, but it’s probably the first time they’ve actually met them.
A mimic that looks as if a screw is missing somewhere tilts its body towards the box and says ‘Did you do it? Did?’ Repeated several times.
‘What is that chubby-looking mimic…’
– The language of the human race is confusing…! Anyway!! One of you, no one of you will be entitled to meet our great golden Mimic Tania!!
――!!
It was a very flimsy mimic, but his one word threw the hunters into confusion.
The number of onlookers increased significantly, and as many as a hundred hunters were watching the area, so it took only a moment for it to become a market version.
“What?! What!! What? Golden Mimic?”
“Ahhhhh!
“Well, it has nothing to do with us… Just in case… So…! You don’t know…”
Just looking at the reactions of Yeonhee, Arin, and Jooah, it was like that.
I’m sure I won an event that excites me, but I feel like it’s very dangerous, but I can’t stay still, and I feel like something big will happen if I participate.
But since nothing was presented, it was only natural that they were confused.
Fortunately, the uproar did not last long. This is because the brown Mimic presented a clear standard.
– The great being served by our golden Tania enjoys an interesting confrontation!! So hit everyone here! No, do you fight? Anyway!
――!!
‘Fighting is good, but who should I fight?’
“What am I fighting against!!”
Thankfully, someone shouted loudly, and upon hearing the sound, Mimick panicked and panicked as if he hadn’t expected to talk to him.
– Huh?! Uh… Uh, so… You guys have to fight, but how to fight… Uhh… Uh, the instructions are clear…
The Mimic’s plump arms opened the box and rummaged for a while, but the brown Mimic couldn’t come up with any answers.
‘… Is there anything decided?’
It was definitely different from what I was told, but one thing was clear.
‘I said only one team would enter!’
After the momentary calculation, the body reacted first.
I ran forward like a bullet and spurred the ground with all my might and jumped high into the sky.
“Huh? Hey, what’s wrong with Sunwol?”
“What are you doing?!”
“Sunwol-ah!! No way?!”
‘Good job! I’ve been annoyed since before!’
After floating in the air, I threw a bunch of bombs at the guys who had been arguing with Arin earlier.
Quack Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwa Kwam!!
