23 – Entering the Dungeon
It was a dark night when we arrived at the place after passing through the portal.
It was dark without a single light, and only the full moon in the sky shone brightly, illuminating our vision.
“Ugh, what is this place?”
Han Yu-ra looks around and clearly shows an expression of disapproval.
At a glance, it’s clear that he didn’t read the materials of the advance party.
Before, it was always me who played that role, so it seems that someone else is in charge in the guild now.
“As Wonwoo said, there are many graves all around.”
“Yeah, sure. The number is higher than I expected.”
Except for the area where we got off, we could see crosses and tombstones erected to such an extent that we could not see the end.
“What, the two of you pretended to know each other and shared something?”
Hanyura approaches and grumbles as if he is dissatisfied.
“Didn’t you receive the information passed on by the advance party provided by the association and the guilds that joined before that?”
Han Yu-ra gets quiet for a while. Then he speaks shamelessly.
“That’s up to you guys to figure out. Because I am in charge of combat.”
“Whoa….”
A sigh came out of my mouth when I saw that scene after a long time.
Still, I expected something like that, so since I came to the dungeon with you, I couldn’t help but take care of it.
Sujeong, who is next to her, is also dissatisfied with Han Yu-ra’s attitude, but since I don’t say anything, she seems to let go.
I think I need to do a brief briefing for Han Yu-ra, so she decided to explain.
“First of all, most of the monsters in this dungeon are undead. And the fate that the number of monsters entered ahead of them, even though there were a lot of A-class hunters in the rock guild, they said they came back because of their strength.”
“Then it would be more accurate to say that it is more difficult than a strong boss monster because there are many of them, right?”
I shook my head at Han Yu-ra’s question.
“I don’t know about those people because they haven’t been to the depths. First of all, there will be more battles than usual, so you need to pay attention to your physical strength and magic power management. There are two S-classes, but they are also a minority.”
“Yes. Well, if it’s me, I’ll handle it lightly.”
I don’t like it, but since I’ve seen it for a long time, it’s true that it’s not just a bluff.
In addition, there is a crystal, so if you control the strength well, there will be no big problem in attacking.
“Wonwoo, so where should we go now?”
After reconfirming the notes she made in Sujeongi’s question, she pointed her finger in the direction and said.
“If you walk around the northwest, there is a lung, so let’s go there. There are probably boss monsters and dungeon hacks in there.”
“Okay. Let’s go there.”
“For now, since you’re a party member, I’ll follow you.”
Unlike Sujeongi, who obediently follows her well, it was hard to see Han Yu-ra pretending not to win.
I rummaged through my bag, took out a compass from among the items I had prepared, and checked that it was working properly, checked the direction again, and took the lead.

Sujeong followed closely behind, followed slowly by Han Yu-ra, vigilantly.
‘I feel strange.’
As I walk across so many tombs, I sense a strange aura coming from the ground.
And after a while, the ground wriggled and moved, as if proving that the feeling was not wrong.
We stopped and stared at the floor with our backs to each other.
“No matter how high the dungeon is, it’s already out?”
It was a story from the advance party information, but I didn’t expect it to come out not too long after leaving the portal.
Hands sticking out of graves and ground. Wriggling, he waved his limp hand to get out of the ground, and gradually his body began to reveal himself.
Flesh was falling off everywhere, and a foul smell wafted from its decayed body.
And in the distance, the white bones were approaching with the sound of crackling bones.
Zombies and skeletons. Matching the atmosphere of the dungeon, undead class B monsters greeted us in large numbers as if they had been waiting for them.
I was taken aback by the larger number than expected, but I calculated that the fact that the two people I was with were S-class hunters was enough.
In the meantime, when she was surrounded, Han Yu-ra, who was next to her, ran out first as if she couldn’t stand it.
As soon as she saw that figure, she immediately ordered Sujeong.
“Sujeong-ah, we are on the other side!”
“Yes? Ah yes!”
When she made a decision that was different from what she expected, Soo-jung thought it strange for a moment, but still followed the instructions right away.
Perhaps Sujeongi also thought about breaking through by concentrating her attacks on one point as per the standard.
However, if there are two S-ranks, and one of them is Han Yu-ra, it would be a wise decision to fight against such a large number.
“Haaap!”
With her spirited spirit, Han Yu-ra opened her own magical power and swung the sword ‘Yeomhwang’ she held in her diagonal line.
A fire suddenly erupts from her sword body, and the zombies in front of her are swept away by the sword and her body burns away.
Immediately, a large number of zombies fill the spot again, but again, they are knocked down helplessly by Han Yu-ra’s sword.
‘I really feel it once again, but if you look at the power itself, it is worth counting among the S-class. There aren’t many people who will be pushed around.’
That was the reason why she once insisted on Han Yoo-ra and never thought that she would not be an S-class.
The firepower that can put several B-class monsters to sleep at once is the part that is ahead of Sujeongi.
The problem is that I have to control the overflowing firepower, but judging from what I’m doing now, it’s still rampant.
I went to the vicinity of Sujeongi, who was cutting the zombies coming from different directions and the skeletons that approached nearby, and joined the fight together.
“Leave that to Han Yu-ra. Unless there is a special variable, everything will be taken care of.”
Han Yoo-ra glanced at her side, and Soo-jeong nodded her head and said.
“Okay. But what the hell is that woman thinking? If that’s the case, she’d rather attack a small place alone like me in the past.”
Sujeongi also seemed dumbfounded at the fact that she only cared about getting rid of her opponent without looking at the situation around her.
In the meantime, after blocking the skeleton that was trying to attack her crystal tooth from behind, she punched her and shattered her bones.
“It didn’t get fixed. She told me to die, but she never listened. So in the end, she changed her method and persuaded the hunters who were going with her to match it as much as possible.”
“You must have suffered a lot. Look at that.”
Sujeong offered words of consolation as she looked at the place where there was only moonlight, and where there was no fire, the place was lit up with fire here and there thanks to Han Yu-ra’s magical power.
After that, we silently attacked the monsters in front of us.
Based on the attack using Sujeongi’s unique characteristic [Cut], I took care of only those that Sujeongi missed.
It’s a B-class monster, but it’s relatively slow, so it was easy to defeat using the hit-and-run method.
As time passed, so many monsters were separated or scattered on the floor.
When I looked up at Han Yu-ra, I looked straight ahead and was wiping my sweat.
However, it can be seen that zombies and skeletons that have not been dealt with properly rise up wriggling and aim for Han Yu-ra.
“Dangerous!”
She shouted as she ran quickly and smashed her skeleton’s head with her foot.
Hearing those words, Han Yu-ra turned around and swung her sword to slash the throats of her zombies in one fell swoop.
“Huu, if you’re going to do it, should you handle it properly?”
She never thought she’d do her nagging again, which she had done before. She’s a clumsy finisher and she should have helped me like this since the old days.
The girl named Hanyu stood still, she looked at me, and then she replied shamelessly.
“… What. Of course, if you’ve taken care of this much, you should take care of that much.”
She was offended by those words and wondered if she had done something wrong. But now it’s the beginning of the dungeon, and she can’t lose an S-class hunter.
In this case, the answer is to just skip it.
“Ah, that’s it. What I said was wrong.”
After spitting out like that, I went in the direction where Sujeong was.
“I don’t hear that I have a good personality either, but that b*tch is really rude. Shall we just end it here, Wonwoo-nim?”
Sujeong-i seems to have heard everything, but she seems to be serious. But she shook her head to stop it.
“Okay. Let’s focus on our work It made me think that maybe we wanted to be annihilated while doing this among ourselves.”
“Who is it?”
“The president of the association gave the order. I don’t know why.”
Sujeong-yi calmed down her excited expression at those words and thought about it before she agreed.
“Maybe. I don’t know exactly why, but it seems like the Starlight Guild or something is trying to keep us in check.”
“Isn’t it? So even if it seems like a beggar, let’s be patient. If I see you today, I won’t see you anymore.”
“Yes, Wonwoo.”
As the two of them were talking while tidying up, Han Yu-ra approached her slowly and asked.
“What are you talking about just the two of you?”
“No big deal. When you’re done, let’s go again. Come up again.”
After Han Yu-ra stopped talking, Soo-jeong stood next to her and started walking again.
A stinging stare came from Han Yu-ra behind her back, but she ignored it.
There are no kids here who can take Han Yu-ra’s side anyway, so she will have no choice but to follow her.
“Hey, go with me.”
As they said that, they started following us.

“Let’s take a break and go.”
Lee Won-woo talked about resting for the first time after fighting more than 10 battles.
“Wouldn’t it be better to hurry up and find the abandoned house?”
Sujeong Choi presents a different opinion. Wonwoo Lee shook his head and said.
“According to the advance team report, monsters appear more often than in normal A-class dungeons, and there are more of them. We just experienced it. I think it would be better to rest while you can.”
“Okay. Let’s do that.”
Sujeong Choi, who was persuaded by Wonwoo Lee’s logical words, agreed.
Aside from that, Hanyura had already used a lot of his magic power, so he desperately wanted to rest.
Those two fight together, but he had to deal with it alone.
‘Even though it was difficult, I feel refreshed after a while.’
Han Yu-ra felt comfortable fighting as she pleased after a long time.
After going to the Starlight Guild, there were too many things to worry about. From the linkage to the control of the firepower caused by his extraordinary magical power.
In addition, having to take care of the same guild members and even lead them made it a headache.
I had to hear that if I neglected even the slightest, the same side would be attacked because of my attack, or that I would fight by invading the attack range.
Of course, she, Hanyu, only thought that it would be okay for others to match her S-class self, so she said it in the back of her ear.
‘Aren’t you doing well by yourself like this? What’s wrong with me?’
She is the most brilliant being, and no matter how much she thinks about her inability to play an active part, she thinks it’s the problem of the people around her.
But today, I don’t know why, but from Han Yu-ra’s point of view, something went smoothly.
She said that if she did something herself, it was as if the stage was ready, and she could run amok without caring about anything.
She says that she has a bunch of zombies that she can cut easily, or that there is an open space where she can attack without controlling her strength.
When there was a dangerous moment, Lee Won-woo came and covered it at some point, so I didn’t feel anxious about making a mistake.
It was really comfortable after a long time. Because she only needs to care about the attack.
‘What?’
Then, a thought suddenly passed through Han Yu-ra’s head.
This feeling of being able to do anything freely and comfortably has been a sensation I haven’t experienced in a long time since I was running around dungeons with Lee Won-woo.
As she joined the Starlight Guild, she also joined experienced hunters. But the only thing that gave me this feeling was the moment I was with Lee Won-woo.
The difference between having and not having Lee Won-woo.
Then, I wondered if Lee Won-woo was responsible for all of this situation.
“Yura Han! What are you doing. I’m going to go to the cliff over there and rest for a while, so move.”
At that time, the voice of Lee Won-woo urging Han Yu-ra broke his thoughts and laughed.
‘Is it possible that such a thing is only possible for a D-class hunter? It must have been a difference in condition or a coincidence.’
Looking at it earlier, he seemed to be able to use magic again, but even so, he was a much lower level hunter than himself.
Thinking that it was because the number of people was small and her physical condition was good today, Han Yu-ra stopped her thoughts and moved her body.
