“There are two rookies, and they are shouting sutras. If it ever gets into her ear, she will be tied up and beaten with 500 whips.”
The words of the worker who had threatened to intimidate him were coldly refuted. As if it wasn’t his true intentions, he quickly understood and sighed. A sigh could be heard even in the ear of the man who was putting his ear to the closet door.
“Get some fireproof gear and go downstairs.”
“Okay, okay. Where was that fire-resistant hood?”
“That closet over there.”
Hearing that, Karin had a nervous expression on her face. Because I heard footsteps approaching the closet. Naturally, strength entered the arm that was in contact with Jain, and it became a state of being hugged tightly. Suddenly, the door opened.
“Here you are. Hey, newbies. We’re going to take this hoodie in good condition, so find what’s left and come down.”
“All right!”
“It’s just frozen.”
A chuckle of laughter was heard. Karin sighed a bit of relief. It wasn’t because Karin and Jain were in the closet, but because they opened the closet next to it and took some equipment. Then I heard the answers of two people who were called newcomers, and the sound of walking down the stairs. Apparently, the skilled people left this room first and left for the ‘site’, and it seemed that only two newcomers were left in this room.
“Did I get this wrong? ”
“Don’t be weak. There is no other place that pays such a high salary.”
I could hear the newcomers chirping. And suddenly, the closet door opened.
“yes?”
“nice to meet.”
This time it was the closet where Karin and Zain were in. Zain grinned at the two newcomers who had a bewildered expression on their faces.
*
The first basement floor of an undiscovered dungeon.
As soon as I set foot in this place, the sound of something screaming echoed through the stone wall. Then there was the sound of a whip being beaten. Looking at it from a distance, it seemed that a woman with hair like a bun was swinging a whip at something.
“The new bastards are very distracted? Why are you so late?”
“sorry.”
The workers who formed a circle around the bun-haired girl gave them pin glasses. The newcomers, who wore black hoods to hide their faces, bowed their heads. Not only them, but everyone was dressed the same.
‘Is this guy’s voice like this?’
The laborer tilted his head for a moment, but soon turned his head. It was because they were the first ones I met today anyway. The two newcomers soon joined Wonjin. Among them, the taller one asked the worker.
“Can you tell me what kind of mission you are doing?”
“What? You’ve already explained it a hundred times more. Are you stupid?”
“sorry. It’s stupid.”
To be honest, I had nothing more to say. The Rosalind laborer sighed and repeated the explanation he had given several times.
“Do you know what the skill of that famous Star Seekers member, Lady Rosalind?”
“No, I don’t know.”
“What the hell do you know? Well, that’s why I came here to do something like this. It’s a fire attack.”
“Fire Strike… ”
It was a skill I knew. It is a unique skill, and whenever you fight a rival, that enemy inherits some of the stats ahead of you. It was a skill that was considered almost like a growth cheat because if it was hung on two rivals, they complemented each other and overlapped each other’s growth.
“I am doing this troublesome work here in order to activate the raging fire.”
“So, in this dungeon, you’re hunting monsters that could be your rivals and making them fight, right?”
At that, the newcomer next to him asked in a young voice.
“Ha, but, obviously, I said this was a very dangerous secret. It’s not a sin to fight monsters, right? Why do we need to keep the dungeon undiscovered?”
“ok? Newbie, were you a woman? I thought you were short.”
“yes… ”
The voice of the younger of the newcomers was completely female. I didn’t know because I didn’t speak. The worker soon answered the question as well.
“Why do you think you’re wearing that fire-resistant hood?”
“Yes?”
“Open your eyes and look. What is she fighting with?”
And the two newcomers turned their heads towards Rosalind. Then he let out a sigh.
“Keeing… ”
The target that Rosaline is wielding her whip right now is a small, cute puppy with sparks fluttering all over her body. It was because it was the spirit of flame, Amduk. The worker saw it and said.
“okay. Not a monster, but a spirit. Fiery Strike does not activate against monsters.”
“Well, here… ”
“It’s not a dungeon, it’s a nest of spirits.”
Only then did I understand why the workers were so cautious. In this world, spirits were treated as quasi-persons. This was because there were many high-level spirits that could communicate with humans, and even if the low-level spirits were harmed, the high-level spirits had to retaliate. It would be nice if only he was retaliated, but the spirit’s retaliation was not frequented by the public, so it was often the case that everyone in the vicinity suffered retaliation.
What Rosaline was doing now was as much a felony as hunting humans under the law.
“The lady’s level right now is perfect for the lower spirit Amduk. That’s why you’re growing up by flailing at Amduk. Now, you know what we have to do, right?’
The worker shrugged and said.
“If Amduk doesn’t know the subject and thinks it’s going to endanger the girl, he will run in and pull it off, and if he tries to run, he will stop it. Until the Fiery Strike is triggered.”
“What kind of rival is that, it’s just torturing you… ”
The female newcomer clenched her fists and muttered. little girl The worker clicked his tongue. On the other hand, the big rookie was worried about something else.
“But, isn’t it forbidden to touch the spirits? It causes the wrath of a stronger spirit. What were you going to do when Amduk, their mother, appeared while tormenting Amduk?”
“Isn’t it okay if I don’t get caught? So, when the fire blast is finished, it’s all done.”
The worker deliberately laughed and pretended to cut his throat.
“Looking at the story, how many people have you already killed like that?”
“About 20?”
“I am. It’s a miracle that Amthuseus hasn’t appeared yet. Firefighting Strike is a skill made for rivals to fight each other in good faith, not a skill designed to be used like this.”
“Hey, newbie. I am the father Isn’t it unavoidable to bring money into the house? And why all of a sudden?”
The worker growled. Meanwhile, Rosalind’s abuse of Amduk continued. Amduk, a puppy with scarlet flames burning all over his body, was whipped and moaned one after another. Occasionally, Amduk would dodge the whip and rush to Rosalind, while workers in fire-tolerant hoods rushed in and pulled Amduk away. Amduk continued to let out a pathetic scream. Amduk continued to endure such aimless and endless abuse.
“Keeing… ”
Amduk, who was scratching the floor and looking around, suddenly looked towards the two newcomers. And then, he ran straight to the newcomer. Spirits had the power to read minds. In them, he found a heart of compassion that was not found in other workers, so he rushed forward with a piece of hope.
“He’s coming this way. Trust and hold on to Hood, newbie!”
It was as he said. The female newcomer embraced Amduk, who rushed into her arms. Laughter erupted from all sides.
“Then, throw that Amduk again!”
But the laughter subsided. It was because the female newcomer hugged Amduk tightly and did not let go. It was as if he was trying to protect Amduk.
“What are you doing! If you are an employee, do your duty as an employee!”
Rosaline, standing in the middle of the circle, let out a shrill voice. However, the female rookie who embraced Amduk clearly refused.
“no.”
“Be cheeky!”
Rosaline’s long whip flew straight at the female newcomer. But the female rookie crouched down and simply dodged the whip. In the chaos, the hood was removed, revealing the face of the female newcomer. Seeing the exposed face, the worker groaned as if it was ridiculous.
“What, what? who are you?”
What was revealed was a girl with fiery red hair tied in two. It was Karin. Next to him, of course, was Jain. They stole the clothes of the two newcomers from upstairs and infiltrated this place after disguising themselves. The two newcomers were now tied with ropes and locked in a closet.
“A spy! Intrusion!”
The worker shouted a whale whale. Rosaline’s face hardened at those words. If you are a spy, you must kill him. Rosalind, having made up her mind, lit a red flame in her whip. And, once again, he swung the whip at Karin and Jain.
“Wow, what, nonsense.”
And he let out a groan that seemed to have gone mad. It was because the man next to Karin grabbed the whip with his bare hands as lightly as if he was holding a jump rope.
“I am.”
He took off his hood, revealing his dark hair. Jain had now activated the Fist of the Jinmu Bongryong in his hand. In this state, Jain’s hand had more durability and fire resistance than diamond. When I applied a light force, the whip broke.
“Photo.”
“okay.”
Karin, who was next to her, quickly took out her magic camera and took a picture of this situation. The evidence that Rosalind and her family committed a felony of touching a spirit in an undiscovered dungeon was contained in the camera. Handing this to Nora would complete the mission. Jain threw the piece of whip in his hand and muttered as if chewing it.
“I don’t have a healthy baby.”
A golden serpent pattern appeared from its neck, and it was glistening with brilliance.
“It’s confiscated, you too.”
serpent of tyranny. A skill that steals the opponent’s unique skill.
The target of the snake’s tongue was, of course, Rosalyn.
