chapter 210
210 – Obtain Unique Skills
“Hey… I’m okay now…”
Bae Ju-ah blushed and waved her hand. He helped me in some way, but he seems very embarrassed.
However, it was Noh Hayun and Yeom Tae-seok who showed a bigger reaction than Bae Joo-ah.
I hadn’t applied any buffs to those two until now, so it was natural for them to be surprised.
– ······!!
They both turned their heads to me at the same time, and I pretended not to notice and continued cutting. I’m just a monster, so please ask someone else.
As if they had heard my inner thoughts, they poured out questions about the buff to Ham Eun-young, who was nearby.
After hearing the answer her to her satisfaction her, Noh Hayun looked at me intently with a flame-like spark in her eyes her.
Those eyes clearly showed a strong desire to achieve something. I don’t know what it was, but it was clear that he was taking advantage of me.
‘No matter what, don’t keep giving monsters those looks… Are you going to get scolded by Yeonhee for doing that?’
Kwaang—!
At that time, a powerful explosion occurred not far away, and one hunter’s right arm was completely lost.
It was the dancer’s self-destruction of her, and just looking at the face of the injured hunter, it seemed like she was blaming herself for her mistake.
“Ugh…! Damn…! I definitely avoided it.”
‘As expected, I have to be careful about that.’
You must have thought you had dodged that hunter, but you need to be careful because the ‘Bone Dancer’s’ self-destruction can cause fatal injuries even if it comes in just a little bit.
If you think about it, it’s strange.
Do top D-class hunters who have climbed through all limbs make a mistake in reading the attack range? That probably isn’t it.
In the end, the skill that guarantees self-sacrifice has a certain power beyond awareness, so it was necessary to respond much more conservatively.
“Think of expanding the distance by 1 meter when it explodes!!”
Yeom Tae-seok told them to keep a clearer distance and fight. However, it is not easy due to the proportion of hunters who are close-range.
– Yes!
– Okay-!
Nevertheless, the hunters on the battlefield were immediately responding to Yeom Tae-seok’s instructions.
Yeom Tae-seok also had no awkwardness in giving instructions to others, so I guess that’s what he’s proud of.
“Aura of devotion-!”
Taeseok Yeom’s wide-area support skill warmly embraces nearby hunters and grants immunity to [Stagnation], [Fear], And [Paralysis].
Immune to three conditions at once… It was an amazing ability.
The hunters’ eyes looking at him showed something similar to respect. Even though there were many hunters here who had higher combat power than Yeom Tae-seok, the atmosphere they were in made it that way.
Ham Eun-young also sang hard, boosting her morale and recovering from mental fatigue that Yeom Tae-seok’s skills could not cover.
Joua and Arin’s performance was steady as always, and the Orc wizard was also seen slowly becoming accustomed to earth magic. Hmm…Is this still at the level of playing with dirt?
Still, the one who showed the most overwhelming appearance was, of course, Noh Hayun.
Suooooo──
The icy energy began to swirl around her body like a storm.
‘That’s…’
If I remember correctly, that skill is one of the special skills of a ‘witch’. I don’t know if she was taught it or learned it on her own, but it’s most likely the former.
I heard that if it’s a normal route, you need to be a high-level hunter to develop that skill.
Kwa-ga-ga-ga-gak───!
Unlike [Ice Field], Which rises from the ground, [Freezing Storm] Is an area-effect attack that freezes enemies from above.
Its power and range are beyond imagination, but I understand that it consumes a lot of magical energy and there is a limit to the number of times it can be used per day. So I guess it was only used now?
Although she judged the current situation to be unusual, the joy on her face showed that it was an act close to self-satisfaction.
‘It’s such a waste… I’ll save it.’
It was a shame for me. This is because the atmosphere of the dungeon didn’t seem like it would end like this.
The freezing storm instantly turned more than a hundred monsters into chunks of ice. It’s a really crazy skill.
In terms of impact alone, it is an ability comparable to my [Fire Explosion]. But why doesn’t the fireball level increase like this?
Noh Hayun looked around and found me and smiled. It seemed like the smile she had a meaning of gratitude, which made me wonder.
‘What did I do…?’
Anyway, from the first time I met him, he was a child that I couldn’t fathom.
Poop-!
Rumbling-
I’ve already had more than a hundred skulls in my inventory that have collapsed due to my swing, and the magic stone’s attribute [Obsessions] Was sucking it up like a crab.
The quest values had long since surpassed 1200, and judging by the tingling in my body, my experience was rising rapidly.
The term ilchwiwoljang is often used.
When she sees Noh Hayun, her memories of suffering together in the canyon naturally come to mind.
There was a huge difference between the level of the enemy back then and the level of that skeleton unit now.
Of course, we have to exclude the Orc senior warriors who were higher than the Giant Skulls, but considering that the Giant Skulls, which are two orders of magnitude higher, are actually more annoying than the Orc Senior Warriors, it can be seen as a much more difficult battle.
Hunters from other parties who were actually fighting were dying one after another.
No matter how much Yeonhee covers it with summoned creatures, the difference in quantity is about 1:8, so what can she do?
It was very unfortunate for me to see top D-rank hunters die, but there was nothing I could do.
Fortunately, none of our party members suffered even the slightest injury, so we should be satisfied with that.
After 30 minutes of fierce fighting, the number of enemies was reduced to 1/3. At that point, it was a point where the tension could be eased because the outcome of the game was decided for everyone.
“Everyone! Focus—!”
However, with good timing, Yeom Tae-seok awakened people’s concentration with a loud shout.
When Arin asked him while walking earlier, he said he had been a D-class dungeon assistant for two years. It definitely feels like a veteran.
However, Yeom Tae-seok also said that he will challenge for promotion for the last time this month.
He was definitely a person who would have been a waste to remain in the D class.
Rather, I don’t know why I wasted my talent in a place like this for two years. Considering his age, you can roughly guess the reason.
But Taeseok Yeom’s situation right now didn’t interest me in the slightest. Because…
—-
Fire Ball Lv.3
– Deals damage equal to 250% of magic attack power.
– Inflicts the status abnormality [Burn] With a 25% chance.
– Burn: Health recovery effect -30%, defense -25%
—-
‘At las! Ha… I feel like crying.’
Actually, it’s been less than 15 days since I changed jobs, but it somehow feels like it took an incredibly long time. I guess that means I lived a dense life.
And the fact that the fireball level has increased…
– The acquisition conditions for the skill [Flame Explosion] Have been met.
– Acquired the unique skill [Flame Explosion]!
– Acquired the achievement [Pioneer]!
‘Good night! Even achievements!’
—-
【Flame Explosion】
– Explodes the accumulated ‘Mark of Flame’ all at once.
– Deals damage equal to 750% of magic attack power.
– For each ‘Mark of Flame’ exceeding five, attack power +100%
– Ignores all beneficial effects and armor except [Invincibility].
– Each explosion permanently reduces the target’s maximum health by 100.
– Enemies hit by five fire explosions are guaranteed to die.
—-
‘…’
Uh… How should I explain this skill…
Just take it once. I’ll kill you. Feeling like this?
A crazy ability that deals 750% damage with five fire marks, and adds 100% for each additional mark.
The skill descriptions that went beyond common sense written in rows below made me feel so far away that my mind became dizzy for a moment.
‘Ignore defense, destroy maximum health, conditionally confirmed death…’
There was a set of items that could be called fraud even if only one was present.
‘Isn’t it the best ever? I’ve never heard of a skill like this in my life.’
It was unfortunate that [Invincibility] Could not be penetrated, but it was a problem that could be solved later.
‘It feels a bit far to obtain an artifact that requires going to a grade A dungeon…’
There was definitely information about him in the memories that came back while doing the mimicry.
A skill called absolute defense [Invincible].
This is because I know where the spear that neutralizes that absolute shield is hidden.
Rattle-
‘All my bones are shaking.’
If [Blast of Insanity] Is the final means to the end.
[Flame Explosion] Will be your main special move.
However, in order to do that, it is important to know how quickly you can build up the stack of [Flame Slash].
You will need to diligently practice using skills such as [Reckless Charge] And [High-Speed Flight] To accurately hit your attacks.
‘Whew-‘
After taking a deep breath, I resumed the fight. This is because many monsters still threaten hunters.
10 more minutes passed like that. Now half of the hunters were out of battle.
Hunters with low stamina are tasked with picking up the dead and acquiring loot.
Hunters who were still fresh continued to participate in battle.
It was the point at which the roles were divided exactly in half, and the monsters were low on stamina, so the tension in the battle was completely eased.
‘Oh no… Let’s not do this. Really…’
Dark clouds with an ominous aura began to rise in the sky.
I immediately took out a red firework from my inventory and launched it into the sky, and the party members immediately gathered where I was.
Crumbling—!
The dark clouds, filled with lightning, gradually expanded their presence, and soon they covered our heads, blocking even the occasional sunlight.
“What kind of bullshit are you doing this time?”
“Fuck… Isn’t this unusual?! Let’s jump! Quick!”
“Let’s hurry up and finish this! I don’t feel like this!”
All of them had worked as hunters for at least one year. The moment the anxious energy passed through the air, their bodies reacted first.
Regardless of whether they were in a party or not, there were people who ran alone towards the exit of the dungeon.
‘Fuck, I helped you so much, so at least say thank you, you bastards!’
But we were the first to prepare to move.
I gave the signal to the party members right after the dark clouds bloomed.
‘This feeling… If what I experienced back then is true, even if I go now, the exit will probably be…’
“Let’s run straight to the exit.”
Although there were some expected situations, I decided to run to the exit first. Hoping my predictions are wrong.
Yeom Tae-seok and I were in charge of defeating the charging monsters, and all other party members were ready to ride on the Lizardman’s shoulders.
Gurgling–!!
The suspicious energy was getting stronger, so there was no reason to delay.
“Ahh! Is the dungeon going to be closed?”
‘Correct answer.’
Every hunter knew that unusual phenomena usually continued for several weeks before a dungeon was closed.
However, in my memory, there was no information that Nargul’s dungeon was closed at this time.
Something happens that I have never experienced and cannot remember.
There was nothing to react to like that anymore. Just respond.
Although it happened suddenly, we kept our composition and kept running.
In particular, Yeom Tae-seok said that he had experienced the closure of a dungeon once, and calmly told the story about it and set out together.
