168 – Good acting
“We’ll be in the front?”
Bae Joo-ah tried to smile and looked back at us, but sweat was wet on her forehead.
Even for her, who is always bold, it must have been nerve-wracking for her to take the lead in a boss fight, especially against a thousand orc troops.
“hehehe! It’s a perfect day to raise the level of the skill that was manifested today!”
“Are you okay with magical power? Did you go wild today?”
“Gwa, it’s okay! This much… Because Ilwoli is there. Isn’t that right, Ilwol?”
“Tak-“
“Eh? Why are you only bumping into me once? No. Don’t go anywhere else, stay by our side. Please-“
Nod-
‘That’s a rock spear or something, it made me feel so good…’
If there’s nothing special, I’ll have to pay attention so that Jua can enter the range of the magic circuit.
“That… Why don’t Eunyoung ride on top of a monster?”
“Can I…?”
Ham Eun-young’s physical ability is almost the same as that of E-class. Her feet were also relatively slow, so it was easy for her to be pushed and trampled by hunters from behind if she stood in the vanguard.
“Lizard No. 4. Take Eun-yeong on her shoulders.”
“Drunk!”
“Thank you…”
“Don’t say anything. I’m going to ride too. I’ll go with you.”
“Uh… Well, then I…”
“Oh yes!”
In the end, all three of them, except Arin, rode on the Lizardman’s shoulders to proceed with the battle. At first, there was a lot of resistance, but now it seems that I have tasted the comfort. And it has the advantage of increasing the field of view. Good in many ways
Eun-young’s ability to exert more power in such a large-scale battle must be able to continue to be displayed without interruption, and to do so, her mental stability was important.
So, I placed Fatty and a few more Lizardmen around Ham Eun-yeong. Ham Eun-young should feel a bit grateful to us if we care about this much. She also clears up a little bit about hand mirrors.
– Kyaha~ The line is killing me. Even if you try to cover it, it won’t be covered.
– Hya- I wish I had sucked it once.
– Crazy bastards. Ugh-
Now, the eyes of the Apex party members, who were openly harassing the female hunters, met mine for a moment.
‘What do you want to try?’
From noble mtl dot com
I took their gaze calmly, but they put their fingers on my hair and twirled them around and laughed out loud.
What’s so funny… Should I tear my mouth apart and make it smile for the rest of my life?
There was no reason to dissuade him from such a low-level provocation, so he stepped forward and blocked their view so that Yeon-hee and the other party members wouldn’t notice.
– I really don’t like that monster’s eyes?
– It is unacceptable to mix monsters with humans.
– I need some education. Kkeukkeuk-
– Is it possible to break the head with one blow of the mace?
– It’s just a fist, right?
– Puch hee hee!
‘Hmm…’
I sighed and waited for the boss battle to begin.
If they behave suspiciously, we can throw a few bombs at them to quiet them down. You have to be patient
Trudging-
After a while, the hunters who had challenged the boss battle began to come out of the circular translucent membrane all at once.
Their condition was so miserable that you could tell just by looking at them that the battle was not going smoothly. Most of the basic days were with injuries that needed to be recuperated, and they threw a word at each of us while we were waiting.
– Orcs have a combination. Be careful.
– What if there are so many spearmen? f*ck…
– It would be better to build a detached unit to return to the rear. We just woke up just like that.
– The Captain level is not the Orc Intermediate level. It would be right to see it as an upper-middle class.
– Hit-and-run. I’m going to have a hard time. Kikki.
It was an unspoken rule for the hunter after the boss battle to give advice to the next hunter. Some would sneer at you, asking you to try your hand at it, but others would offer good information.
‘The spearman is here too… Detached, should I do the same as before?’
But leaving our party members behind was something that bothered me. Of course, those worries were thanks to those beggar Apex bastards.
If it wasn’t for them, I would have flown alone first and ruined their formation.
“They just stick together. Splitting in half seems dangerous.”
As Arin said, I think it should be like that this time.
– Ugh… Hansoo…
I often see people carrying a colleague who has already died.
It seemed that the overall ability of the monsters went up in the boss fight as well.
I checked and found that there were five dead.
If the boss battle mortality rate is over 5%, it is classified as a dangerous group, but to think that the Orc dungeon, which is called soup for D-class hunters, has already become like this. It also far exceeded the normal range.
Every time I entered the dungeon, I felt confused because of the severe gap with the memories of my previous life.
– I will enter the next group~
Five people died, but the entry signal from the management staff was light.
Since the hunters enter the dungeon after writing all the memorandums related to ‘disclaimer of responsibility for death’ anyway, no one cares about our deaths.
It’s like taking a risk and making that much money, but what am I supposed to do? So, several months pass with the death rate drastically increasing, and only when the public opinion of the hunters reaches the brink of an explosion, then they rush to raise the dungeon rating.
Of course, it’s not uncommon for a given dungeon’s grade to go up. And not everyone wants that to happen. The number of hunters decreases as you go up in rank, but it would be difficult if the number of dungeons to manage increased.
Guilds have already separated profitable dungeons from unprofitable dungeons, and factions fight to occupy profitable dungeons within the guild.
Orc dungeons weren’t very lucrative because the orcs even utilized the manastone mines, so they were prone to being neglected naturally.
What’s interesting is that if the government, the Hunter Association, and the Guild Council somehow raise the dungeon level through an agreement, the system will also reflect it. Isn’t it really a mystery itself?
“Hey~ Isn’t this the famous Summoner Lee Yeon-hee? What a f*cking honor?”
We, who had to stand in the forefront with Apex Party, felt embarrassed from the start by those who quarreled.
Even the comments are so typical that it makes me laugh out loud. It was clear that there was a manual or something to do when fighting with those guild offices.
But I can see now that these guys aren’t that simple.
There was a woman who calmly contemplated us behind a few men who were arguing with me in front.
The mana that flowed from her body was so delicate and secret that it was impossible to notice unless you were a person with sensory abilities like me.
In front of them, they were like gangsters, pretending to be ignorant and violent, while hiding other schemes behind their backs.
‘This ability? It feels like [Stealth] Is attached to magic… It’s definitely unique.’
According to my memories and intuition from my previous life, this was a type of skill that grasped the opponent’s capabilities. The structure of mana varies greatly from person to person, so it was not immediately clear what kind of skill it was.
Several suspected abilities came to mind, and she was contemplating what to do with her abilities.
“Hey, can’t you hear me?”
“If there are any good artifacts, let’s share them together.”
“Or something like a magic stone is fine. Hee hee hee-“
The guys in charge of fertilization were carrying out their duties with frowns.
To sum up what they said, in one word, they were saying to give up what you have before taking a bad look.
They say that sharing keywords are the trend, but these days, people say extortion comments like that.
Um… Cliché.
“Shouldn’t you talk to me?”
“Really unlucky from the start.”
Bae Joo-ah and Arin, suddenly caught in a dispute, did not stand still and responded confidently. Then, the hunters in the Apex Party turned their heads left and right and hit back.
“Heh heh, Shibeol. Look at the nasty things young b*tches say.”
“Hey, girls. Don’t regret it later, crawl on your own. Just today, I’m confused about how many times I’ve scolded people who react like you do. Do you really need to be hit to come to your senses?”
“Yes. Damn Se-young Ma.”
“If you say one more word, you guys will tear your jaw?”
“Fuhahahahaha-! Junho, did you meet the right person?”
“These f*cking b*tches-“
A man named Junho, who had snake tattoos all over his face, strode towards us.
At the same time, the Apex woman’s skill was climbing up my leg like a snake.
The Apex woman, the source of this ability, was still breaking out in a cold sweat with her eyes closed.
Seeing that [Compassion] Didn’t activate, it was definitely not a mental debuff.
Seeing that there is no feeling of diminishing mana or any other sense of incongruity, it seems that the system’s ability to understand the other person’s capabilities is correct.
It’s a skill that doesn’t give direct damage or effect, but it does pass my information.
Normally, I wouldn’t be so easily dealt with, but on the contrary, I thought there might be things I could gain based on their reaction to my information, so I left it as is.
‘Probably, it’s a skill like [Guanyin] Or [Spy].’
Both skills were useful skills for determining the target’s combat power and location, and it is known that the hunter who was hit by the skill might have become the target of the skill.
Both are known to be rare skills, but they are lower than Jo Ki-man’s [Exploration], Which can grasp the target’s potential, and it was not very difficult to meet the owner.
‘I know it’s an ability that can only be used by one person at a time. The cooldown is also long. To use it on me… Means that he regarded me as the biggest obstacle in the first place.’
Obviously, when they were giggling at me earlier, they looked down on me, but even that was an act or if the information was shared afterwards, I don’t know.
‘These are dangerous guys. I’m sure there are a lot of guys who looked down on me and got their noses hurt.’
Actually, the Hunter who started the fight first was one of the two. Those who have higher skills than me, so either fully understand my capabilities and attack, or those who don’t understand the capabilities but recklessly push them forward.
It was usually the latter. There aren’t many cases of harassing the weak, who are far below themselves, who can only understand their capabilities unless they are a psycho. Call those guys villains.
However, if the power difference is that much, it is usually impossible to enter the same dungeon.
That’s why guys who take such steps are bound to look down on them, and the way Bae Joo-ah and Arin are responding without being too nervous is an expression of confidence stemming from that.
I took out five bombs while blocking the party members.
“Whoa whoa whoa- what is this again?”
“That skeleton is that. That skeleton soldier who uses bombs and fireballs.”
“What? It must be a skeleton soldier!”
‘You’re good at acting. This uncle I cut out all other options for armor, and I’m wearing the one with high defense.’
It was an equipment setup to focus solely on the role of a tanker.
Perhaps the runes are also covered with thorn runes or vitality runes that give reflective damage.
