The boss appearance message was displayed to everyone inside ＜Closed Iron Ore Mine＞.
For those who enjoy games, especially MMORPGs, the word ‘boss’ is like a kind of stimulant.
A thrill when fighting, a great sense of accomplishment when killing, and a lot of money when paying.
Because it is the prey that gives most people everything they want.
So it was only natural that people who saw the message about the boss appearing would want to scour the dungeon to find the boss.
* * *
The first man to discover the passage that Dojin had pierced, Kato of the Nanginhoe, narrowed his eyes.
“I’ve never heard of a hole like this… … .”
While muttering, his guild members who were contacted gathered one after another.
The number of guild members of a similar level gathered and came out to hunt, so there were ten people.
Gato asked the guild members.
Have you ever heard of a passage like this?
To that question, Hiromi, the only woman in the group, answered.
“I’ve never heard of a passage here either.”
“Hiromi is right. It is certain that I have familiarized myself with the internal structure of the dungeon through preliminary research.”
A pig quietly glanced at Hiromi while adding words. Kaminari was famous for his paranoid intelligence gathering even in the Ranjin Association.
Gato nodded at his words.
“I can trust the words of Kaminari, the brain of our ronin society. Then there is a high probability that a boss that has never appeared in this dungeon will appear inside this dungeon.”
Gato decided to enter as if he had nothing to think about at Kaminari’s words.
It was quick judgment and action.
But there was something much faster than that… It was the death of the boss.
Before they even took a step, the message that the boss had been defeated was delivered to everyone in the dungeon.
“… … .”
Nanginhoe is embarrassed by the sudden situation.
‘It’s not like the boss appeared and the path was created… Who drilled through this hole?’
There is no doubt that he received a special quest, pioneered a secret passage, and caught the boss from the inside.
Gato’s conclusion, which he had squeezed out in his own way, reached a certain part of the truth.
contemplation that follows. Then what to do.
A normal game user would have returned to the original hunting ground rather than take additional risks once the boss was caught.
However, the Nanginhoe was different.
Said the pig, Kaminari, who raised his glasses.
“Huh, it looks like you’re hunting something other than a boss.”
Nanginhoe is a group that started as a guild of the first-generation virtual reality game set in the Warring States Period in Japan.
Since the game itself, which became the starting point, had the theme of war and murder, the Nanginhoe, which made a name for itself there, had no hesitation in indiscriminate PKing.
There is a record of notoriety here and there after going through the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation virtual reality games.
Killing those who caught the boss doesn’t necessarily mean you can get the items left by the boss, but their style is to go hunting for people if there’s even a chance.
The tangible and intangible penalties such as grudge or chaos that would follow from the act of murder were not important to them.
“You must have been injured and tired from fighting the boss anyway. Finish quickly before recovering.”
visor. Gato said as he drew out his sword.
Gato ran ahead.
I imitate the running posture of ronin or samurai in old movies.
From his name to what he did, he could be said to be a guy worthy of the name Nanginhoe.
However, the sword he was holding was a rapier, so it didn’t look very suitable.
* * *
After catching the boss and taking the loot, Dojin decided to go outside.
The first reason is Teresa’s injury.
A broken leg was not an injury that could be treated with potions or low-level healers.
Even if you are a player (Regenian), you have to take it to a high-ranking healer in an adventurer’s guild branch or temple to treat these injuries.
And the second reason… … .
‘It’s a headache when the guys who smelled the boss flock to it.’
The further you go inside, the more complicated the tunnel becomes like a maze, but the section where Dojin drilled is before it became complicated.
It wouldn’t take long for the hunters to discover the newly opened passage.
There is a high probability that what will happen after that will be a repetition of what happened many times in the previous life.
As soon as Do-jin confirmed that Teresa’s bleeding had stopped with the help of the potion and So-so, he had Sang-su carry her on his back.
“If you miss Lessa, you will die.”
Soso warns with red bloodshot eyes.
Sangsu smiled bitterly.
“Couldn’t you just say it with an expressionless expression as usual? Seeing you cry really scares me.”
“Shut up.”
Listening to the conversation between old friends, Do-jin walked back the way he had come.
But then. A sharp noise was heard from the front.
Dojin frowned.
When he turned around, he saw two equally nervous people.
Sangsu said with a grunt.
“… Isn’t that sound from the good people who heard the news that the boss was caught and tried to clear the way for us tired of fatigue and injuries?”
Dojin shook his head.
“That would be nice, but based on my personal experience, I think it’s much more likely to go bad.”
“As expected. damn… … .”
Dojin measured the remaining mana.
The mana potion he drank after the battle had already restored his mana to 80%.
“Well, no matter what happens, we’ll be fine going out.”
Do-jin, who said while looking at So-so, who was wet with anxiety, resumed his stopped steps.
After a while.
“uh? Kato-san, over there!”
As they passed through the mine shaft and came out into the clearing, someone pointed at them and shouted.
‘what? That little pig.’
It was Kaminari of the Ronnin Association.
Do-jin looked at the pigs with fluctuating jaws and even more fluctuating belly fat, and those around them.
’10 people. One mage, two healers, and seven melee.’
If there are 10 people, it’s a full party, so it’s two parties.
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
More like a raid than a party.
Looking at the monsters around him in a short amount of time, he could guess that he was not lacking in skill.
Even considering that Regen stopped for a while because all the mana was concentrated towards the boss monster, it was not negligible.
If it goes head-to-head, the odds will be close to zero.
At best, sending one or two, at most three, while approaching is the limit.
While Dojin quickly analyzed his and the enemy’s power, Gato stepped forward.
“four… No, only three?”
Contrary to Do-jin, who estimated the defeat, Kato was sure of victory as soon as he saw Do-jin and his party.
One woman with an injury that made it impossible to fight right away, and three that were obviously exhausted.
It’s a fight you can’t lose.
Gato, who confirmed his absolute superiority, aimed his sword at Dojin with an arrogant attitude.
“How do I do it? There are too many pages.”
Sangsu whispered and asked Dojin.
“When I signal, I run toward the exit.”
Dojin, who gave a similarly small answer, looked directly at Gato.
“Aiming a knife means to fight, and the reason must be because of the boss message, right?”
Gato nodded leisurely.
“You’re asking something obvious.”
“What if it wasn’t us who caught the boss?”
“That’s something you’ll find out when you open the boat. don’t be too embarrassed There are few deaths as meaningful as dying with the sword of Gato, the great swordsman of the Ranginkai.”
Gato laughed fiercely.
The Nanginhoe guild members surrounding him also laughed ferociously.
Looking at it, Dojin thought.
‘What are all these assholes doing? Should I say I’m lucky though? In a situation where you have to drag the time, it’s better if the opponent is a concept-drunk idiot.’
It’s Do-jin who went through all kinds of concepts while playing LOST, but it’s been a long time since I’ve been such an asshole.
Lined up with triumphant expressions, they look like cheap genocide villains.
“Whoa, Kato-san, do we really need to go all out against these guys? That alone is enough.”
Even the assimilation power was updating the high point in real time.
A pig resembling a human stepped forward, raising his glasses buried in his flesh.
Juggling daggers with one hand and stepping on a frivolous step that was not befitting his size, it was a spectacle that fit perfectly.
“… … .”
Seeing the level drop, Dojin felt both a headache and a hyeonta at the same time.
In the opposing camp, ‘Oh, as expected, the gray remnant of the Ranginkai, Kaminari-kun!’ The same nonsense is flowing out, so it’s hard to face it.
Dojin controlled his stomach and looked at the pig who walked forward to see if it was Kaminari or vomit.
“Hey, this body will be merciful and give you a chance to live. Come out one by one and compete against me. If even one of the three beats me, I’ll let you go alive.”
“It must be true that Rostania is close to destruction. The block meat that should be hung in the butcher shop speaks for itself.”
“What, what?”
LOST’s perfect interpretation and translation function conveyed Dojin’s last words to Kaminari.
It was fatal verbal abuse for Kaminari, who was unable to get out of her fatness even after adjusting her weight and height to the limits of the in-game avatar customization function.
“Yes, your boy… … ! Cancel that statement! If you don’t want to die, cancel it right away!”
Enraged, Kaminari stomped the ground with his feet.
Dojin looked at the floor and said, ‘Is there an earthquake, why is it shaking like this?’, further provoking Kaminari.
“I will kill you unconditionally! The other babies behind it will be good to stay still! The moment I get in the way of hacking him up, my allies will wipe you all out!”
The provocation seems to have gone in perfectly, so let’s slowly roll it around to pass the time. Thinking so, Dojin called out to the excited Kaminari.
“hey.”
“Heh. tell me If this is my last will, please listen-”
Then, aiming for the moment he answered, I activated the spell I had prepared in advance.
The quickly completed “Wind Blade” brushes past the pig’s throat.
Kaminari’s face crumpled.
“A cowardly cub!”
Kaminari ran towards Doujin.
Although the distance is quite far, he was confident of victory.
Those who are behind in numbers will not be able to refuse the offer of a one-on-one match, so there is no need to worry about the guys next to you.
Then there is only one wizard left. As a thief class, it was nothing more than their prey. That’s because he’s exhausted from the boss fight, so he’s a very easy prey.
‘Looking at the casting speed, it seems that the main magic is the wind attribute. If I avoid that one more time, this body will win!’
If you’re careful with just one or two high-skilled spells, mages are garbage.
Thinking so, Kaminari took about five steps.
“uh?”
Suddenly the floor rose.
grasp. Kaminari hurriedly turned around, but couldn’t help but feel his side graze.
‘What kind of casting-‘
so fast! Even before the astonishment was over, Do-jin prepared a new magic.
As Kaminari regained his balance, an ice arrow flew at him.
If you dodge one, another comes, if you knock out one, another comes.
The interval was too short.
To the point where I can’t get my feet off it.
Kaminari rolled around awkwardly.
Kaminari, who had lost his pride, tried to close the distance somehow, but Dojin blocked his approach like a ghost.
“Ouch!”
Kaminari, who managed to block them one by one, got an ice arrow stuck in his abdomen.
Regardless of the sensory synchronization rate, the system temporarily paralyzed Kaminari’s body by calculating the pain and shock she received.
“Kaminari-kun!”
Hiromi called out to him in an anxious voice and healed him.
Other colleagues who were on the lookout also tried to help.
All of that is needlessly passionate and over-emotional.
It’s like directing a scene from a boy’s cartoon.
That would also be a way of playing, but it was a difficult area for Dojin to sympathize with.
All the more so because those who showed hostility to him were doing it.
Do-jin lit a cigarette for the magician while Kaminari got up, saying not to interfere with the one-on-one match.
It was to dope as long as the waiting time came soon.
At that time, taking care of himself, Kaminari muttered as he watched Dojin spitting smoke.
“Don’t look at me with those eyes… … .”
“What?”
“Don’t look at me with those eyes… … . Don’t look at me with disdainful eyes just because I’m tall and handsome, you son of a bitch! Before I hack that face!”
Kaminari, whose inferiority complex exploded, approached Dojin with much faster movements.
In an instant, a golden shimmer spread from Dojin.
“Thanks to you, I took my time well, butcher shop block meat. It’s a pity, but I have to stop playing around here.”
There was no time to get angry at the verbal abuse.
“Huh?”
Dojin’s magic, which stopped ‘moderately’, was not something Kaminari could handle.
The magic that flew one by one became three or five.
Paba Baba Park.
“Kaminari!”
The Nanginkai panicked when they saw Kaminari pierced with three ice arrows in an instant.
I was so flustered that I forgot even the hot-blooded game I had been engrossed in, drunk with superiority, and tried to run right into it.
However, they couldn’t run to Dojin.
“Keep, keke… … !”
A huge number of iron ore golems were created around Kaminari and the rest of the idiots who were not dead but staggered as if they were about to collapse.
A predicted Poxen phenomenon that occurred when the mana reduced by the death of the boss was used to create normal monsters at once.
This was the reason why Dojin took the time to talk to those who were inferior.
‘Anyway, sick people. 10 people should have attacked at once from the start.’
But in my experience, those with an advantage would waste time even trying to enjoy the situation. really useless.
‘What… Even though I believed in that and went out.’
The class that Dojin believes in the most. They were idiots drunk on their own strength.
Because their patterns always had a similar context.
“Jump. The finish can be cut off from escape.”
