Leveling
CH 86

It was a long distance as well as a short one.

Focusing strength onto his legs slightly, Jin Woo jumped up and immediately shot off the ground.

When he landed, he was behind the huge backs of the High Orcs.

Step

After landing, a riddle appeared in his head.

"It's easy for me to kill High Orcs if it's just like this"

But then there's no point in using 'Stealth'.

Including Son Gihoon, the Hunters here could be considered to be at the top of the country.

If they witnessed a High Orc being attacked by an invisible force, everyone

of them would quickly realize that 'Stealth' was being used.

Well, almost every one of them .. except the naive female Hunter hasn't noticed yet.

"Well, it doesn't matter if I get caught too"

However, with a later re-measurement, he did not want to invite anger that did not

need from the Hunters Guild.

Because of that, Jin Woo had planned to probably just wait until Raid

totally failed ... But it seemed like the danger to Hunter would become too great.

Female healers are almost dead now.

And then.

A light gathered in Jin Woo's eyes.

"I must act unnoticed"

He decided to intervene in this battle.

The entire passage took about one, maybe two seconds for Jin Woo to think.

Moments later, both Tanto and the Knight Killer were in his hands.

Lately, the dagger would appear reflexively before he even gave

mental command.

"When did I call this?"

In the middle of the battle, Jin Woo smiled amusedly.

The familiar grips of the dagger calmed his racing heart.

Thank God he can't be seen right now.

He would look like a madman, as he smiled in the midst of this chaotic melee.

The leader of the sweating Raid who fended off the three High Orcs.

"First, are these people"

Jin Woo started acting.

With his body lowered, he held the dagger with the reverse grip and

cutting Achilles tendon High Orc.

"Yetoooooo!"

When his ankle was severed out of nowhere, the High Orc warrior cried out in pain.

This is just the beginning.

With smooth movements that can be described as a dance, Jin Woo moves in between

the High Orc.

One was stabbed by Tanto Baruka in his ribs.

Another was cut behind the knee by the Knight Killer.

"Kreureuk!"

"Kow!"

Adrenaline from battle is not enough to withstand their pain.

After cutting and stabbing in a completely unexpected way, the soldiers

High Orcs became stiff.

This is more than enough.

Son Gihoon immediately jumped for his counterattack as the High Orcs showed a gap.

stab!

"Creu .. kreureuk."

"Mir,pant"

Son Gihoon raised his head.

The longsword in his hand was stuck at the heart of the High Orc.

"Creuk."

The high orc that was glaring with its lips quivering immediately showed the white part of its eyes

and fall backwards.

thud

The tanker clenched his fists.

'Yes! We can do this! "

The man killed the surrounding High Orcs one by one.

Meanwhile, Jin Woo moves non-stop around the Dungeon.

"Yetoo!"

"Woook!"

In a world of slowed time, he casually moved and broke the balance

various battles around while doing his best not to make it visible.

the slash!

Every time he passed the High Orc, a small but effective wound appeared in the High Orc.

"Kreureuk!"

"Moru?"

When the High Orcs were thrown into chaos by the injuries that suddenly appeared

in their bodies, the attacks from the Hunters did not miss the opportunity.

"What ... is the fight this easy?"

‘What feeling is this?’

"Are we winning against a lot of High Orcs without any casualties?"

The Hunters had decided that at least one or two of them would die

in this battle.

Contrary to their expectations, the fight went on to greatly benefit them.

a smash!

The mace swung by one of the Hunters hit the head of the High Orc.

With that, a pleasant voice sounded in Jin Woo's head.

[You have leveled up!]

‘Oooh.’

His efforts were not in vain.

He's leveling up.

Even though he did not kill or cause any deadly injuries, it seemed like he was

still earning EXP points by just helping out.

"The only thing I really killed were two of them"

All he helped in the murder were thirteen of them.

If his actions still gave him EXP points, it made sense that he would level up.

Excited by it, Jin Woo's movements become even faster.

the slash!

stab!

"Yeah!"

Due to Jin Woo's invisible support, the curtain of battle is quickly closed.

‘Fiuh-!’

Jin Woo took a step back and returned the dagger to storage.

The man looked around the battlefield.

"I think I've had enough ..."

The situation was almost over; the operation was a success.

And he has leveled up as well as a bonus.

Jin Woo looked at the ground.

Nearly twenty bodies of the High Orcs were scattered there.

"If I drop it myself, I might be able to level up again"

Regretfully, but this was the Hunters Guild hunting ground; the Guild had paid a sum

huge money for this Raid right.

He has done the best he can.

'All right'

With a satisfied expression, Jin Woo returned to the corner where the porter was supposed to be hiding.

"Byhah!"

Their initial situation was reversed, right now the Hunters were surrounding the last High Orcs.

His screams sounded loud throughout the cave.

Watching the last enemy fall, Jin Woo releases Skill 'Stealth'.

shoooo

The Hunters sighed.

Looking around, they confirmed that all the High Orcs were dead.

"Is ... over?"

"Looks?"

"Wait"

Before they could celebrate, Raid Leader Son Gihoon examined the injured.

"Open! Is anyone hurt?"

In reality, it was rare for anyone to be injured at the end of the battle with Healer

highly rated.

As long as they cling to their lives, they can definitely be healed.

When Son Gihoon asked that, he did not really ask if anyone was injured.

He asked if anyone was dead.

Staring into his eyes, the female Healer shook her head.

There were injured but no casualties.

"Then…"

The faces of the entire Raid group brightened.

"We won!"

"We really won!"

The Hunters celebrate it together.

Jin Woo looked at her with his hands crossed.

"Is the High Orc that strong?"

From what he saw just now . maybe it wasn't.

Not having a Raid experience in high-ranking Gates, the celebratory atmosphere of the raiding parties

currently not understood by Jin Woo.

At the time, Jin Woo had no idea.

For Dungeon Rank-B and Rank-A difficulty levels, Dungeon rank was not the only one

things to consider to determine.

The carefully measured magic power is reviewed to know the approach and

party composition appropriate for Raid.

Even for Rank-A Dungeons, High Orcs were at the very end of the top-tier monster pyramid.

And if it was not an ordinary orc but more than twenty High Orc warriors ...?

The victory of a paryt is no different from a miracle.

The person responsible for this accident did not even know what he had done.

Jin Woo silently congratulated the party's raiding victory.

"Hmm?"

He saw the female Hunter approaching Son Gihoon with a serious expression.

His eyes said he wanted to say something.

Jin Woo focused his hearing towards their conversation.

"Gihoon oppa"

"Hmm?"

"When we fought with the High Orcs ..."

The healer carefully explained what he saw.

He said if he saw a High Orc suddenly hovering in the air and

releasing his own head, it then flew off to attack and kill the orc

other high.

His face was serious.

"..."

Son Gihoon was at a loss for words.

"I'm telling you the truth!"

Seeing the red face from Healer's embarrassment, Jin Woo struggled to keep his laughter in check.

Meanwhile, the Hunters celebration only lasted for a short while.

They gathered around the Raid Leader, Son Gihoon.

"Leader, shall we continue?"

“Isn't that a bit dangerous? Thinking that the High Orc would appear right in front

entrance”

"Why don't we back off now?"

Son Gihoon stared into the cave and covered his mouth.

'Maybe it wasn't easy for him'

Jin Woo understands Son Gihoon's feelings.

In a Guild with two S-Rank Hunters, this was probably the first and last time

Son Gihoon will be given command of the attacking group.

To think that he should end what might be the pinnacle of his career

as soon as it ...

'Anyone would want to go ahead and finish it'

Unless they're cool-headed leaders ...

After making a decision, Son Gihoon slowly opened his mouth.

Jin Woo's eyes narrowed.

Thankfully, Son Gihoon is not a fool.

"Let's back off now"

The decision of the Raid Leader was absolute when he was in the Dungeon.

As long as you're part of his party, it's an unspoken rule that you

must follow the orders of the Raid Leader.

In ancient times, weren't disobedient soldiers even executed before battle?

On one hand, Dungeon was a much more dangerous place than the ancient battlefield.

Therefore, who your leader is often determines about your safety in the Dungeon.

Son Gihoon did not disappoint his team-mates.

At his command, the entire Raid group heaved a sigh of relief.

"Fif-y"

"I think Son Hyung is going to be stubborn"

Son Gihoon grinned and slapped the shoulder of the man who had just spoken.

"I'm not that stupid"

"I know.Geez, look at hyung, my hands are shaking”

“Stop being like a baby.All right! Let's go!"

Jin Woo took the bag.

And as instructed, Raid's group began to move back to the entrance.

Jin Woo smiled defeated because of that.

"I want to go in a little bit more"

Still, he's just a guest here.

An ordinary guest should not go against the will of the homeowner.

Sorry, but it looks like today will only end like this.

"Damn ..."

Frustrated at the fact that the Raid Leader did not believe him, the female Healer

come to Jin Woo's side while pouting.

"It really happened."

With her cheeks puffing like a child, she asks Jin Woo with

hopeful, full of hope,

"Did you happen to see that High Orc-"

"No"

"Jinner ..."

His hope was shattered in an instant.

Jin Woo thought he might crush his stomach for holding back a laugh.

________________________________________

How long are they walking?

Suddenly, the party leader stopped.

Son Gihoon raised his right hand.

"B-stop!"

His voice was filled with panic.

The Hunters are tired of walking and Jinwoo, who has focused his senses on the

the back of the sobbing party detected the monsters, also stopping.

There was a commotion among the Hunters.

"What's going on?"

"What the fuck?"

“Why is the road closed? Wasn't it still open! ”

Jin Woo passed through the chaotic crowd and reached out.

Eyes widened.

'This ... blocked?'

There was an invisible barrier blocking their way.

The first thing that came to his mind was the Instant Dungeon.

An invisible wall separating the Instant Dungeon and the real world, like both

being in a different dimension.

But Jin Woo then shook his head.

‘No, it's not the same.’

The wall closed intentionally.

Feeling the magic power mixed in it, it was clear that it was a monster

with intelligence.

'But why?'

Why would it prevent them from leaving, instead of preventing them from entering?

Suddenly, Jin Woo turned his head sharply.

‘...?’

As if waiting, a terrifying wave of magic power came rushing from

the inner end of the Dungeon.

'My Lord…'

This is the boss of the Dungeon?

It was on a different scale from the magic power he felt from outside of Gates or

even in the Dungeon until now.

The other hunters also felt that power and shuddered.

"W-what?"

"I'm suddenly cold"

Looking at the bleached faces of the Hunters, Jin Woo thought of a theory,

"If it's a boss who can erase or hide his energy ..."

The wall that wasn't there when we came in.

And the boss who revealed his magic power after making the wall.

"Does that ... set a trap for the Hunters?"

When he thought like that, a chill crept down his back.

As if he was being given a clue,

step

step

From the darkness of the distant Dungeon, the footsteps were much louder than the group

The first High Orcs could be heard.
