EP.93 Stained Rock Pile (5)

There is a difference between party hunting and solo combat.

Party hunting mainly hunts monsters through exploration and proper dilution balance, but solo holders value efficiency.

Catch monsters to catch, and avoid unnecessary monsters.

That was the fighting style of solo holders.

“… … .”

It was the same with Yoo Eun-seol.

She is a type of assassin optimized for solo play.

Among them, a high-ranking holder who is considered to be at the top.

[Silence], which is almost at the Max level, and the talisman rune, which boasts the highest level of ability, made it possible for her to reach the top of the Seoraksan field without much effort.

Only 10 monsters were killed while climbing to the top of the mountain.

They were all Class A monsters.

“Fenrir… Not today.”

Yoo Eun-seol muttered as if it was a pity.

S-class monsters, also called field bosses, do not appear every time.

Because the number of individuals itself is so small, the respawn probability is too low.

This is like luck for ordinary holders who hunt in the field, but it was rather unfortunate for Eun-seol Yoo, who considers S-class monsters to be a reasonable source of income.

“I don’t think there were any suitable holders.”

Even if walking was a nominal activity, it was not just hiking.

on the way to the top.

I often looked at the holders who were party hunting.

The result is still crap.

Far from entering the qualifications he was looking for, he couldn’t even find a holder with the skills he could use.

Maybe it’s because Seoraksan Field is so out of the mainstream.

These days, it felt like the high-ranking holders were nowhere to be seen.

‘Today I just have to go… ‘

After watching the holders hunting in the middle for a moment.

Yoo Eun-seol, who was about to descend as it was, stopped for a moment.

While circling in the middle of Seoraksan Field using [Hidden].

Because I found a slightly unusual sight.

“Blast!”

middle end.

In certain areas within the lush fields…

A two-person party was fighting a wolf-type monster.

A man with a shield and a sword is holding a woman.

I hunted a wolf that ran wildly.

There were countless wolf corpses around, as if a battle had already ended.

‘Hyde Wolf… .’

Yoo Eun-seol immediately recognized the identity of the opposing monster.

A B-class monster, Hyde Wolf.

[Hidden] One of the monsters with runes, it is a vicious monster hiding in various terrain and waiting for the right time to attack.

Looking at the situation, it seemed that as soon as the battle was over, he was aiming for a hole in the wizard-type female holder.

And fortunately, the two seemed to have stopped the attack well.

“You damn wolf cub. Blow up, blow up.”

… Although the man’s words and actions seem a little harsh.

‘… Fight well.’

Eun-seol Yoo, who was willing to help in any dangerous situation.

He soon turned around again.

A two-person party with only two types of warriors and wizards.

Considering the level of the Seoraksan field, it was a pretty ambitious composition, but it wasn’t strong enough to attract Yoo Eun-seol’s attention.

A B-class two-person party that needs to be hit a lot.

That was the end.

‘… … ?’

However, Eunseol Yoo had to stop again.

Something is strange.

I felt a strange energy.

Unfamiliar yet familiar.

Tired but waiting.

That strange and strange energy…

I could feel it from the man in front of me.

‘… … .’

It was hard to believe.

Without releasing [Hide], Yoo Eun-seol moved cautiously and moved closer to them.

And as the distance narrows.

A more vivid and intense energy.

It was certain.

In the meantime, I’ve been looking for it myself.

At the words of Tak Won-ho, he tried to visit the academy…

special holder.

There was one in the bush who was worthy of it.

to that sudden discovery.

Yoo Eun-seol couldn’t hide her embarrassment.

‘Suddenly in a place like this… .’

I saw holders while climbing and descending.

To be honest, I didn’t expect much.

I couldn’t find it even though I’ve been organizing temporary parties myself, because I didn’t think I’d find it in such an ordinary hunting situation.

But for sure.

The energy that resonated in her body was telling that holder that she was qualified enough.

“Chae Eun-ah. it’s okay? Are you hurt?”

A young holder who looks at his colleagues with a very worried face.

He is after Song Do-hyeok in <Lyrics of the Dragon>.

It was the holder with the ‘dragon energy’ he encountered for the first time.

* * *

Hunting in Seoraksan Field went smoothly.

The level of monsters has risen quite a bit since entering the middle part, and Kim Chae-eun was dangerous on the way, so I used the [Wave Cheon Sword] without covering my back…

Anyway, there was no blockage on the way to the dungeon.

‘You have to enter the dungeon slowly.’

The Stained Rock Pile is a dungeon that Park Jin-woo attacked in the mid-to-late part of the original work.

Most of the monsters in the dungeon are level B, and the level A monster ‘Barg’ is the boss.

There was no special gimmick, and the road to the boss room was not difficult, so it was surprisingly not an impregnable level dungeon.

furthermore…

‘I know this dungeon well.’

The dungeons I’ve been attacking so far have been the Academy Underground Dungeon, the Hobgoblin Village, and the Forest Covered with Snakes.

3 total.

Among them, there was no dungeon where I knew the strategy.

The academy underground dungeon only saw the entrance strategy, and the hobgoblin village knew only the entry medium and the approximate level of monsters.

Even the forest covered with snakes is a dungeon where there is no information at all because it was mentioned as if it were just passing through.

Virtually all unknown dungeons, similar to those experienced for the first time.

It was a miracle that all three dungeons even reached the boss.

On the other hand, ‘Stained Rock Pile’ is an undiscovered dungeon where Park Jin-woo’s attack process and results were detailed.

Since it was a dungeon that occupied one episode, I also knew the strategy well.

So, the party members are Kim Chae-eun and I.

Even the two of them were enough to attack.

‘Today is… It might be difficult.’

It seems that the deal is a little lacking.

Because I used [Wave Sword] too emotionally earlier, I didn’t know that I wouldn’t have the firepower to catch the boss monster ‘Barg’.

Inevitably, it seemed good to only taste the dungeon today and postpone the boss room attack until tomorrow.

“Chae Eun-ah, wait a minute.”

On the way to the end of the middle section.

I raised my hand as soon as I saw the two trees coming into view.

“yes? why?”

Two trees in front of you.

They stuck together as if they were a pair.

And inside it, a small space prepared like a shelter.

At first glance, they are just two trees perched on an ordinary mountain, but these are the dungeon entry vehicles that allow you to enter the ‘spotted rock pile’.

When you step into the space between two trees that are close together.

It was possible to enter the dungeon as it was.

I slowly raised my hand among the trees.

Then he gently stroked the tree and said,

“The flow of magical energy is a bit unusual. You can just skip it, I think… ”

“maybe?”

“I think it’s an undiscovered dungeon.”

A small space between the trees.

I put very little magic into it.

The condition for entering the dungeon is to put magic power into the medium.

When an amount of magic that was slightly lower than the proper amount was injected, the airflow in each place began to change rapidly.

“uh? Jaehyun-ah, the magic current is getting stronger!”

“Is not it?”

I smiled slightly and looked back at Kim Chae-eun.

“Shall I go in?”

And in this proposal to do something together…

She has never taken it off.

Kim Chae-eun smiled brightly and nodded her head.

“yes!”

[You have entered the dungeon.]

[The savage energy of the dungeon slightly slows the holder.]

* * *

Undiscovered dungeons, piles of stained rocks.

This is a mountain-shaped dungeon made of rocks.

Although the rock formations were a little tricky, it was an easy dungeon to advance because it was open and there were no complex structures.

The composition is the standard arrangement of the entrance, middle, and boss rooms.

The monster that appears is a wolf-type monster like Seoraksan Field.

‘The monster that appeared at the beginning… ‘

From my memory, it’s probably a B-class gray wolf.

There is no special magical attack, but he is a body-destroying monster with runes aids concentrated on strengthening his physical abilities.

His abilities were also strong in speed, so his movements were sharp and sharp.

In particular, he has the [Strong Tooth] rune like the Toxin Iguana… In terms of proficiency, it was far superior to the toxin iguana, so it was necessary to be careful of their ‘attack after mowing’.

Aww-!!

Ooh, ow-!!

As soon as we entered this dungeon, the monsters welcomed us.

I quickly grabbed the sword in my hand and said,

“Chae-eun!”

“yes… !!”

Kim Chae-eun and I are no longer behind any other skilled parties.

Upon hearing the signal, Kim Chae-eun quickly raised her magic power.

Our core combo early in the battle.

It was to control the monsters with the ice series and create a composition for me to attack.

I also started preparing to use [Fast and Furious].

Also, the most effective attack is the charge.

Gree, ah-!!

Ooh, ow-!!

“What… ?”

But something strange happened.

The number of wolves appearing on rocks…

There were many.

too many but too many

Five, seven, ten, fifteen, twenty…

twenty? thirty?

The numbers were increasing so much that it was impossible to count with the naked eye.

That’s not the end.

Among those countless gray wolves.

A certain gigantic wolf was guarding its seat heavily.

Large body and dark gray mane.

And a sense of intimidation and appearance that seems to tear everything apart.

It was the first wolf I had ever seen, and it was at least an A-class monster.

“Jae, Jaehyun… me… .”

Kim Chae-eun called me with a trembling voice.

That embarrassing feeling was the same for me.

‘Original… different.’

different.

It wasn’t in the original.

Although the Stained Rock Pile is a fairly high-level dungeon, it is not a difficult dungeon to capture because the number of monsters is adequate and there is no gimmick.

Of course, only about four or five gray wolves appear at the beginning.

But the formula was twisted.

The monsters approached several dozen and the special monster in the center.

They came out to meet us to hunt us…

It was a result I had never seen anywhere else.

‘What do we do?’

A situation I never expected.

at that embarrassing sight.

I couldn’t figure out what to do.

Aww-!!

ugh- gurg-

But there was no time to think.

The packs of wolves that have already flocked…

Kim Chae-eun and I were running madly towards me.
