From a Porter to an S-Class Healer

Episode 51. Dungeon where elves live

After returning from Jeju, we were quickly put into work. The job recently assigned to me was to run around dungeons with new hunters.

Existing dungeons that don’t disappear even after clearing them were on the side that were well attacked. The hunters in charge solve it easily, but the schedule was tight because there were so many newly created dungeons recently.

I also don’t have much experience. Because the title of senior was so intensely engraved, I had a slightly gloomy heart.

“… Are you here today?”

“I guess so. Seo-Jun.”

I tilted my head. I looked around and saw an ordinary apartment parking lot. Dungeons open in places like this. It’s pretty common, but it’s the first time I’ve actually seen it.

Residents were told that they had already evacuated. I’m really glad that the monsters were reported before the dungeon entrance came out.

If left unattended, the building may collapse. It would not be strange if a major disaster occurred at any moment.

Yoo Chae-eun, who came with me, turned around and said to the juniors. He looked like a senior with a veteran feeling.

“Are you all used to it now?”

“yes. That’s right!”

Shin Seo-yeon nodded and clenched her fists. Next to him, Kang Soo-hyuk with a shield answered in a loud voice.

Applicants who had previously entered the interviewer and judged them. Did they pass and participate in the dungeon together?

Really. The feeling is new.

Kang Soo-hyuk already had quite a bit of experience, but he had a great attitude to learn. In a way, he might be the real senior. The youngest among them must have been Shin Seo-yeon.

“For now, the purpose of reconnaissance is not to take the porter.”

Recently created dungeons do not have porters. This is because the D-class, which is the porter’s grade, itself is stronger than the general public, and there is a huge difference from the C-class, the hunter-class above it.

If the starting position is different as in the aquarium, the porter is dead. Wasn’t I also not able to defy properly once before returning and got hit by a goblin?

I nodded. I tapped the backpack I was carrying with my hand. First of all, I got all the basic necessities.

“Then shall we go in?”

At my question, the members nodded with firm expressions. Maybe everyone was nervous.

“Well, you don’t have to worry too much.”

Seeing Seo-yeon’s stiff expression on her face, she spoke as if encouragingly. It wasn’t that Kang Soo-hyuk was less nervous simply because he had a career.

Kang Soo-hyuk participated in the fight against the Bone Dragon. Perhaps it was a great experience for him. However, Shin Seo-yeon, who did not participate, will feel fear enough. Even with my co-workers.

As far as I know, I’ve heard that she’s already trained several times in small and medium-sized dungeons. He opened his mouth again to relieve his worries.

“You know I won’t get hurt or die as long as I am there. Are you sure you don’t believe me?”

“ah. no. It’s not that I don’t trust Hiller. I wanted to start off with a fall… .”

Shin Seo-yeon answers gloomy. Her voice is getting smaller.

“Then I will designate you as ‘Guardian Angel’. If anything happens, I will show up.”

“Thank you… .”

Then, Shin Seo-yeon is relieved. At first glance, Yoo Chae-eun’s voice was firm enough to feel cool.

“Seojun-san, come in now. Shin Seo-yeon Hunter? I understand your anxiety. However, for the safety of the citizens, the Hunter fights at the risk of his life with the monsters. So, trust in your colleagues is even more important. Please trust us.”

Shin Seo-yeon atrophied at the sharp horse with bones in it. This was really awkward. It didn’t matter whether I was too nervous or not.

⁕⁕⁕

To express the inside of the dungeon, it was literally refreshing. The cool breeze and the forest spread out in front of you. It was truly a feast of green.

“… There are a lot of trees.”

“It seems so.”

I opened my mouth looking at the dense trees. Then Kang Soo-hyuk affirmed my words and looked around.

“Seojun, shall we walk forward first?”

At Yoo Chae-eun’s words, everyone began to enter the forest. Next to Kang Soo-hyeok, who was vigilant with a shield, Shin Seo-yeon looked around while holding her sword.

Yoo Chae-eun was also ready to shoot arrows at any time. I also stretched out and prepared to swing my arms at any time.

Even after walking for quite some time, the monster is nowhere to be seen. In an awkward atmosphere, he coughed and opened his mouth.

“… by the way. What kind of monster is the boss of this dungeon?”

“Ugh. I do not know. Oak?”

I was fed up with Yoo Chae-eun’s answer without realizing it. Her lips twitched slightly. Well, that was a joke.

“If this is a forest terrain dungeon, there is a high probability that it will be a ‘Tree Monster’ or ‘Ogre’.”

Instead of me, Kang Soo-hyuk answered with his characteristic thick voice. To his words, Yoo Chae-eun dazedly affirmed.

“… I do. I’m a little worried.”

I carefully inspected the floor to see if there were any traps along the way. The faint smell of earth seeps into his nostrils.

“It’s ‘ent’.”

Kang Su-hyeok, who was at the forefront, discovered the tree monster first and informed us. At that sound, he quickly took a fighting stance.

Treant moved in front of us, moving a thick, hard-looking tree trunk. The dark auburn tree trunk was bigger than I expected.

Treant, a huge monster that lives in the forest and takes the form of a tree.

It is known that they do not attack their opponents unless they attack first. Of course, this is the first monster I’ve ever seen. I’m on the quiet side, so if it doesn’t harm the forest, I won’t touch it… .

“coming!!”

Kang Soo-hyuk quickly raised his shield. Then the sharp leaves flew at us flew towards us.

Get-! Padded–!!

Kang Soo-hyuk, a giant shield protecting his allies, used the ‘Guardian Shield’.

Leaves were studded in his shield, which activated the shield. He hastily buffed the members with ‘sacred faith’.

His purple shield quickly swallowed up the leaves. Is it because of the buff? A smile appeared on Kang Soo-hyuk’s lips as if he was feeling energetic.

“Why are you attacking us?”

“I don’t know. But for now, we have no choice but to fight.”

Tah–!

Yoo Chae-eun quickly fired an ‘arrow of the wind’. Go straight to the center of the tree monster.

However.

When the arrow imbued with the spirit of the wind saw Ent, it was startled and stopped. It’s not magic, and the arrow flies and stops in mid-air. We all stared blankly at it.

“what? What’s up.”

“Ahhh!!!”

Leaving behind Yoo Chae-eun’s bewildered voice, Shin Seo-yeon rushed forward. Her sword struck the Treant’s branch.

Awesome–! Brilliant–!!

The thorny branches attacked Shin Seo-yeon’s legs. I quickly used ‘cure’. A fresh green light spread from his fingertips. In an instant, her wounds healed.

You can see the ent faltering. That’s enough of an intelligent monster. Could it be the boss of this dungeon? Yoo Chae-eun pulled the bow again, wondering if she had similar thoughts to me.

“Why are you attacking us? I didn’t do anything harmful to the forest!!”

I looked at Ent and shouted out loud. would you have understood what I was saying Treant’s attack, trying to wield a branch, stopped for a moment.

“Ahhh!!!”

Without missing the gap, Shin Seo-yeon stabbed the thick stem of Ent with her sword. Apparently, the sword penetrated easily because of the buff I gave him.

The stem of the ent, who was not taking a defensive posture, drooped. Shin Seo-yeon’s sword is pierced through the hard stem.

“Healer, have you seen it? I defeated the ent!”

“Wait. Something.”

I think it’s weird.

A satisfied smile spread across Shin Seo-yeon’s face, perhaps because of the thought of ‘I did it.’ Just as I thought something was wrong, I heard a shriek that sounded like a tear in my ears.

“no. aah!!”

As I turned my head toward the sound, I saw a beautiful woman with pink hair. But it was different from the normal person.

The quality looks good, but a unique green garment that looks like it’s made of grass. It gave off a dreamy atmosphere with Western-style features.

And above all, the shape of the ears was different. Ears with sharper tips than humans.

“… Elf?”

In the silence, I spoke like a fool. Tears were flowing from the eyes of the pink-haired woman who looked like an elf.

⁕⁕⁕

“Lina, how are you? Do not work too hard.”

The blonde-haired elf, Ari, asked with a worried expression. Seeing her like that, Lina responded with a bright smile.

“Even if I’m okay?! Come on, look at the others.”

really he was fine Leaving behind the worried Ari, Lina slowly walked towards the water.

Striking pink hair. Among the elves, he had a very outstanding appearance. Lina, slightly choked, moved to the place where her races were gathered.

“ha. What should I do now?”

Lina sighed slowly. The existence of the current elf itself was in danger.

Long ago, orcs appeared in a dungeon that was suddenly opened. After a persistent battle, a considerable number of elf men were taken away. Of course, many elves lost their lives at that time.

to take revenge.

to get men back.

Everyone risked their lives to practice. They made weapons and rearranged the army to visit the orcs’ place.

That was just recently. I was finally trying to make a long dream come true.

Unfortunately, the orcs were nowhere to be seen. Because the residence they lived in was already in ruins.

Lina opened her tightly closed eyes. Not even the corpses of their relatives were found. I couldn’t waste a moment’s time just thinking about it.

“Ogre… .”

The biggest problem now was the more dangerous and powerful monsters than the orcs. They had enormous size, muscles, and a ferocious character. A literal monster that eats elves.

If it was just one, I could have done something. There were three marinas.

I’m back now, but I don’t know when the dungeon will attack again. Even thinking about it again, I got goosebumps and my heart trembled.

When he turned his head, the injured elves were lying side by side in the clinic. Ari, who was taking great care of her patients, widened her eyes as if she had found her.

“Lina, are you really okay?”

“yes. I’ll help too. What can I do?”

“… Actually, the herbs are a bit lacking. can i get it It would be a little dangerous, wouldn’t it?”

The world tree’s ‘healing’ ability has long since disappeared. Herbs that were not even looked at in the old days were so rare and hard to find.

Ari also says no, and says that she will try something. But Lina quietly took her bow and moved her feet.

“it’s okay. I will be back.”

“… sorry. And be careful.”

Lina quietly headed out of town. A small elf village on a not very large scale.

It is their hometown and the place where they will live in the future. future generations also.

Maybe this world will be destroyed. I gulped down my saliva from the unstoppable anxiety.

Fabulous–! Padded–!!

I hear the ent’s attack. This means that there must have been an intruder. Fortunately, it is not presumed to be an ogre.

“What other dungeons have been created?”

Lina held her bow tightly and ran in the direction of the sound. Long pink hair fluttered in a mess. The view from where we arrived.

It looked like the ent protecting us was hit by a human woman’s sword and collapsed. A strong ally and supporter collapses like that.

“no. aah!!”

Read from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

No. no!!

The power of the hand holding the bow is released. Tears flowed. This could not be.
