Chapter 59
“We’re planning to deploy the attack party after observing the situation inside a little more. We have Hunter Choi Cedric inside right now.”
It was meant to reassure him, but Kwon Jiwoon shook his head.
“It doesn’t matter. It’s an urgent situation, so please send them in immediately. I will go too.”
“……! I’d be reassured if Hunter-nim supported them. We’ll be ready to deploy them right away.”
“Ah … you can’t!”
Lee Chorok hastily interrupted them.
“Stand back.”
The public official pulled her back. Kwon Jiwoon looked at her with a cold stare. Goosebumps crept up the nape of her neck. Still, she moved her trembling lips.
“Monster Hell makes its cocoon and builds a barrier when it gets settled for a meal.”
“What?”
“A protective barrier has already been activated around the rift. If you forcefully break it … If the complex etheric flow is broken, they won’t be able to come out of it forever!”
Halt. The silver-haired Healer stared at Lee Chorok.
“…It’s not a natural rift. Why is there such a dangerous thing here?”
“That’s … I don’t know …… Ahaha……”
In addition to the large fine, 72 hours of Dungeon Safety Training was additionally decided.
Lee Chorok, who has now become a part-time worker at a fruit shop and a huge debtor, looked at the rift emitting blue light.
The seller told her it surely wouldn’t wake up.
The Monster Hell, gleamed extravagantly in the starlight of Blue Celaeno Flower, shone like a demon.
The prayer she repeated in her heart was a desperate earnestness.
‘Please be safe, Customer-nim.’
The sharp gaze of a Hunter, whose nickname was The Silver Wave, turned towards her. If something happens inside, she doesn’t think he’ll let her go.
‘Please come back alive soon.’
Please save me from those eyes…….
***
A plant-type monster that shoots digestive juices to dissolve living things and takes in nutrients.
Its digestive fluid is stronger than hydrochloric acid, and it can even melt the outer skin of a hard-skinned monster.
A very scary creature that catches its prey with its agile vines and slowly melts it.
By Ether-Wiki.
Seeing the Monster Hell that appeared in front of me, I was bewildered for a very short time.
This is because there is a swordsman who ranks second here.
A speed-type dealer who penetrates into the front of the enemy with agile movements. It is a skill that no one can match among swordsmen.
His well-known nickname is….
“Go! Kongdrick!”
“….Don’t call me that.”
While saying that, Choi Cedric smiled leisurely. He came forward with a sword as tall as his height. Wait a minute, the same Munchkin line was a bonus.
Sreeng. The blade drew a circle.
In an instant, it digs into the front of the Monster Mell and cuts it diagonally. He cut off the roots again without leaving any gaps.
Shashashak, Bang!
The Monster Hell was neatly split in two. The stem that spouted digestive juice also lost its strength and drooped.
“Done!”
Now it’s time for the escape gate to open….
“….Huh?”
Keuoooo!
The Monster Hell, which seemed to be dead, arose again. The wound from the sword healed without a trace.
That’s absurd. I’m sure it just died!
Choi Cedric fixed the sword and held it. He shouted.
“Well, it’s the same if you’re still alive. If I cut it over again, it’s over!”
Wow, that’s so reliable. The comfort of the Munchkin bus is amazing.
Choi Cedric, who ran with a bang, jumped up. His body flew through the air. A lush branch of the resurrected Monster Hell appeared in front of him, but Choi Cedric’s sword is faster.
Swiish, kaang!
The big swinging sword cut the Monster Hell clean. Then, the bursting lightning skill is thrown down.
Pooooong! A shard of wood struck by lightning. This time, I was convinced that we had succeeded.
However … a new branch sprouted from the tree stump hit by lightning and quickly resurrected.
Perhaps even Choi Cedric did not expect this to happen, he frowned and shook his head.
“It doesn’t make sense. I’ve never heard of a B-class minion resurrecting without a cooldown.”
Then, something came into my sight.
“Hey, look over there! That one!”
“Why? Don’t come out and just stay in the shield … Huh?”
A starry blue flower was hanging on the top of the branches of Monster Hell.
I wasn’t mistaken. It was the Blue Celaeno Flower that was revived with a lot of efforts.
Choi Cedric’s face hardened in an instant.
“That … No, we have to take that to Rona.”
The flower seemed to be sucked into the rift with us and it got swallowed by the Monster Hell.
Wait, let’s put our thoughts together.
The power of Blue Celaeno Flower is regeneration. Having swallowed the flower, the Monster Hell naturally continues to regenerate. In other words, in order to prevent it from regenerating, we first have to deal with the source of power, the Blue Celaeno Flower.
Yes, the conclusion. You have to pull out the flower first to get out of here.
“…….”
“…….”
Choi Cedric also came to the same conclusion as me. However, instead of eliminating the flower, he took a defensive stance.
Chiirk!
He only avoided the attack of Monster Hell that began again, and seemed to have no intention of attacking.
“Cedric, what are you doing? At this rate, it will only be resurrected again!”
He shook his head with a stiff expression. A low desperate voice was added.
“I need that flower to save our Rona. We can’t get rid of that.”
“…….”
Stand firm and defend against attacks. At first, Choi Cedric held out well. He cut the stem while avoiding the attack, and when it revived, he cut it again.
“…Kugh!”
But as time went on, his movements started to slow down a little.
“Ugh….”
The skin burned with an acrid smell. Choi Cedric does not move even though the pain must be considerable.
“Stand back.”
Choi Cedric cut down the vines that attacked me while blocking the attack of Monster Hell. Still, there is no end to this. The cut-off vine quickly grew back, and it seemed that the monster piece of wood will never give up on today’s main dish.
“Don’t tell me, are you planning to die here?”
“That’s not true. But….”
His gaze turned to the flower of the starlight in the distance. He knows. As long as the flower has already fused with the monster, it is difficult to separate it. Here, it is a rational choice to kill the boss, exit the dungeon, and retrieve the flower seed again.
I’m sure Choi Cedric knows, but….
Even if he gets hurt, he doesn’t want to give up medicine to save his sister. He can’t cut the flower that can save his sister with his own hands.
Shush!
After a moment of distraction, vines soared from the floor.
“Hyaaah!”
At that moment, Choi Cedric grabbed his sword and jumped up. It was as light a motion as flying.
He stepped on the branches of Monster Hell and took another leap. Avoiding the subsequent attack, he approached in an instant and stretched out his hand toward the Blue Celaeno Flower.
10 meters, 5 meters, 1 meter … is it working?
“….! Keus!”
Just before he could touch the flower, the Monster Hell shook its body. His hand slipped down, clutching nothing but air.
It is difficult to pull out a single flower from the tip of a huge tree that moves violently without injury. Not to mention that it’s a tree that spouts digestive juices too.
A vine wrapped around Choi Cedric’s body as he tried to make a leap again.
Swoosh, bang!
He cut it straight away, but this time, it shoots digestive juices at the spot where he’s about to land.
“Ugh….!”
His unprotected feet touched the digestive fluid sprayed on the floor. However, instead of attacking the Monster Hell, Choi Cedric took a defensive stance again.
If this is the case, there is no end. The only ending is waiting for the rescue and enduring the brunch of this monster and its minions.
I had to make a move. I nervously carried on with my thoughts.
“….All right!”
‘The Bond of a Cup of Coffee.’
[Target: ‘Choi Yichan’ has been selected.]
The S-class Choi Yi-chan’s skills will be helpful. That’s what I thought.
“…….”
“Umh…..”
I turned off the system window without using Choi Yichan’s skill. This is because all the skills that can be used were skills that strengthened original ability by multiples.
Even if you inflate a dust, it’s still a dust. With my 20 strength and +2 attack power, even if I use it multiple times, it would still be weaker than a single cut of Choi Cedric’s sword.
It’s not that Choi Cedric is weak in the first place, he isn’t actually struggling with the Monster Hell.
The cooldown of ‘The Bond of a Cup of Coffee’ is 24 hours. I have to be careful because I can only use it once.
‘Then what should I … huh?’
[The Bond of a Cup of Coffee (B)
Details: (Lv.1) You can copy the skill of the person who drank the Ultimate Coffee. (00:05:00)
Cooldown: 24:00:00
Available for: Choi Yichan, Kim Taewoon.]
I tried to turn off the unhelpful skill window right away, but an unfamiliar name caught my eye.
Kim Taewoon? Who was that? Was there such a person?
“…..Ah.”
That’s right, it was the name of a journalist from Hunter Scope. Too many things happened in one day that I forgot about it.
I thought it might be of some help, so I opened up the skill window.
[Views Explosion! (F)
(Lv.1) You can write an article that contains information about the target.
There is no guarantee that the article is necessarily true.]
[Paparazzi (E)
(Lv.1) You can follow the target without being detected for a certain period of time. (01:00:00)]
………………….
………………….
It’s truly the skills of a trash journalist … It optimized for fake news production. This is why fake news is all over the world.
For a moment, I was busy complaining in my mind.
While Monster Hell was persistently attacking today’s main dish (Choi Cedric), there were the minions who were aiming for the side dish (me).
Ssssshk!
“Huaaaa!”
They’re the bug-type monsters. None of them are actually strong. However, the swarm of insects had its own visual pressure.
“Huah! Eh, F-killer!”
But there is no such thing in the inventory.
Wiiiiing~
“Go away! Aahh!”
Instead, I took out the shovel and pounded the floor, but it was not enough to fight off the swift swarm of insects.
Then….
I used my skill towards an approaching swarm of bugs that’s going to eat my flesh.
‘Aaah! The Floor is Shiny!’
Shashashak!
“….Huh?”
The amorphous ether overturned the floor, and the bugs disappeared from the surroundings in an instant.
That was not the end. The skill stretched out to make the floor completely shiny.
Keuoouooo!
The screams of Monster Hell rang out. All the roots that had fallen to the ground were cut off.
It tried to spread its roots again straight away, but not a single dust was allowed on the floor.
