Leveling
Ch 140s

After the little incident ended.

Jin Woo moves in front of Gates with the Knight Guild.

Right before he came in

Just a minute."

GuildMaster Park Jong-soo and his deputy Jung Yoon-tae check the equipment and condition of the team once again.

The noisy atmosphere in front of the entrance disappeared and was now silent.

'... '

Jin Woo liked the tension before getting into this Dungeon.

All because this will calm his mind.

After a minor incident in the past, he was afraid of the Hunter Association's call request, so he couldn't imagine how he had avoided his phone at that time.

But now everything is different.

"No problem, sir"

"Good"

Park Jong-soo nodded and approached Jin Woo, who had retreated from the group's leading position.

Jin Woo then turns around because someone called him.

"Sung Jin Woo"

"Yes"

Jin Woo opens his arms and faces Park Jong-soo. Park Jong-soo lowered his head.

"Please take good care of me"

It was a short speech but it was spoken wholeheartedly.

Jin Woo replied with the same words.

"Please take care of me too."

Park Jong-soo and Jung Yoon-tae take the lead, and the other Hunters step in one by one.

Jin Woo makes sure all the Hunters come in and slowly, he gets in.

* * *

[You have entered the Dungeon]

As always, a system message that others can't see welcomes Jin Woo.

Hm?

Jin Woo tilted his head.

This Dungeon had a huge passageway that even giants could pass through.

Jin Woo has never been into a large Dungeon, but he is lucky to have seen it once. Nevertheless, Jin Woo was not worried about the size of the Dungeon.

Jin Woo felt the air from within the Dungeon.

What's that called?

Jin Woo feels more at ease while inside the Dungeon for several reasons.

There were many times when he felt discomfort coming in the air, but this was his first time.

but - but

"We'll clean it up!"

Contrary to Jin Woo's premonition, the assault team faces difficulties at the entrance.

"Twin Head Orge!"

"Everyone, careful!"

The monster, who came out of the Dungeon, stood in front of the entrance with sparkling red eyes.

"Oh my goodness!"

The size of the Twin Head Ogre was of twice as large as the usual one.

It was hard to tell how powerful his strength was.

'If the Raid team found Twinhead Ogre in the Dungeon, they would definitely always be busy to escape from it'

"Groan!"

But the Kinghts team is different. Park Jong-soo, the main tanker, jumped ahead of Ogre.

Then Ogre lifted the giant beater over his head as if he had uprooted a tree and swung it.

Clangs!

Vibrations echoed throughout the cave.

However, Park Jong-soo, who had already strengthened his body muscles with the Skill, resisted the incredible might of the Twin Head Ogre without even slightly bending his knees.

"Oh God!"

"I'm fine!"

"Park, I'm going in too"

Jung Yoon-tae, who is also a Tanker, stands next to Park Jong-soo.

Park Jong-soo, who managed to attract the attention of Ogre, then let out a heavy roar.

"Groan!"

The Knight team's counterattack begins.

The arrows, mantras, swords, and spears were directed at the Twin Head Ogre.

Euaaag!

The Twin Head Ogre that was attacked roared furiously.

Yet...

Park Jong-soo is not bothered by that.

Occasionally, some attacks sneak past his defenses, but Jung Yoon-tae quickly holds everything back.

Whoosh!

Jung Yoon-tae, who had just received a kick from Ogre, was pushed back instantly.

But, thanks to that, the other Hunters were unharmed.

Bang -

Bang -

The assaults of the assailants began to tear Ogre's body apart.

huhh huh hu!

Jin Woo now understood why the Knight Guild had been in first place in Yeongnam for such a long time.

"Room!"

Finally, the Ogre was pushed back with a foaming mouth.

Thud!

Then, the boss-level monster fell without a single casualty.

What a win.

“Nicesu!”

Leader Park Jong-soo clenched his hands.

Is it because of him?

Tim and himself are getting more excited than usual.

What is Hunter Sung Jin-Woo's view of this?

'If you are impressed by my teamwork and decide to join the Guild, you won't be too worried'

Glance -

The eyes of Park Jong-soo and Jin Woo meet.

Park Jong-soo, who is worried about Jin Woo reading his mind, feels pain over what to do.

Finally, he smiled and approached Jin Woo.

"I'll take a break for a while"

"Oh, sure"

Jin Woo nodded.

Unlike him, who was filled with Recovery potions, other Hunters only had limited magic power and stamina.

It was very important to rest for a while after fighting a strong monster.

Park Jong-soo comes over to Jin Woo's side, looks at Orge's body and says with a distorted face: the:

"It's a big deal."

"..."

Jin-Woo's eyes turn to Park Jong-soo.

Park Jong-soo then continues.

"I don't think this will be easy because the entrance alone is already guarded by the Twin Head Ogre"

Park then touches her chin and smiles at Jin Woo.

"Do you know the nickname Twin Head Orge?"

Jin Woo shook his head and Park Jong-soo said as if he had been waiting for it.

"Grave Keeper"

Was it a nickname given to meaning because so many victims were due to its power?

However, Park Jong-soo's explanation is different from what Jin Woo expected.

"This ...."

Park looked into the cave.

The gloomy atmosphere seemed to flow from the other side of the pitch-black cave he felt.

"This guy should have been the boss in the other Dungeon, but since we met him at the entrance"

Park Jong-soo spoke in a worried voice.

"There will definitely be some incredible undead monsters inside there"

* * *

The phone call came to the Hunter Association Reporting Center.

The caller was a young girl

"Hello, is this an association?"

As soon as the call was connected, a sobbing sound came from the phone making the receptionist aware that it was unusual.

"Yes, really.Can you tell me what happened?"

"Now,*hiks*, in our school.There are monsters that appear"

"Outside? Where's your position?"

"I'm in hiding.I'm with a friend, but my friend*hiks*my friend, I'm in the bathroom"

Although it is difficult to communicate, because it is disturbed by the sound of crying.

The experienced employee kept linking words to find out what the girl wanted to say.

Then.

A message immediately went to the Association headquarters.

[Monster appears inside the school, confirmed one victim, and students are being evacuated]

'Did the school experience a Dungeon Break?'

The receptionist shuddered with fear of the dreadful scenerio and focused on listening to the schoolboy.

"How many monsters are there? Are they near you?"

"I don't know.*hiks**hiks*.so many shouts, *hiks*. Am I, uh, going to die?"

"Please calm down and listen to me"

The receptionist knows from his experience how vulnerable humans are at times when they face danger.

Therefore, he kept trying to stay calm.

"The Hunters are on their way right now, and they'll never give up on saving you, so you'll have to stay calm until the end, okay?"

"Is that so? *Hiks*can I survive?"

The voice on the phone started to calm down a little. That's a good sign.

The receptionist, who believed that he had managed to calm the girl down, then asked the next most important question.

"And those monsters ... Do you know what kind of monsters they are?"

"That .. Yeah, I know.I know.I've seen it.On TV"

"What's that?"

It is a good solution to hide in the bathroom if the monster is blunt in senses and only uses its eyes to chase after humans.

The receptionist prays that the monster that appears in the school is that species.

"His body .. is humanoid, with a black face, ugly.Oh, and green skin"

'Don't say that?'

The receptionist's eyes widened.

"What ... Orcs?"

"Yes, that's it.Orc"

'No!'

The receptionist jumped up and shouted, without any hesitation at all.

"Get out of there! Now! Orc— ”

then - later

Desperate screams came out and the sound of the bathroom door breaking sounded.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

* * *

The Guild Knight's Raid went smoothly.

It was so delicate that something felt strange.

Then.

"Khhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

A rotten animal, the size of a house, on the run from the Hunters is trapped in magic and meets its end.

The same thing happened repeatedly, and the Hunters began to wonder.

"That's weird"

"Why do they keep staring at us and running away?"

"Don't you think they're being chased by something?"

In the Dungeon, powerful undead like vampires, liches, terrifying worms, and red ghosts came out in succession.

And they are not easy opponents.

They were extremely difficult to kill, and one should not be rash when killing them as they would recover or come back and attack again at any time.

But - but

Such monsters at the moment, did not bother fighting and gave their lives to the Hunters helplessly.

'It's as if they're too afraid of something ... '

It was Park Jong-soo's assessment of the monsters that appeared.

He even thought that he wouldn't have to bring Sung Jin Woo if he knew it would be like this.

'But, no one knows what will happen in the Dungeon'

Is there any reason why this Rank-A Dungeon could be so easy to clean up?

'What is the reason ... '

Even so, this is a good thing because Raid can run smoothly.

Well, Raid has so far only inflicted minor injuries here and there.

On the other hand, Jin Woo was disappointed.

'I was expecting something greater from this Gates Rank-A .. '

Although there was still a terrifying mana coming out from it, but if it continued to look like this, would I be able to gain EXP? is what Jin Woo thinks.

He didn't even have a single chance to act because of the Knight Guild.

'... '

Jin Woo sighed softly but then, it turned hard.

Jin Woo's footsteps also stopped.

'Huh?'

As Jin-Woo turns around, Healer Jeong Ye-rim also stops.

"What's up, Hunter Sung Jin-Woo? Is there something behind us?"

Jin Woo did not answer.

His heart started beating like crazy, and was unable to answer every question.

Whatisthis?

The pupils of Jin Woo's eyes staring at the outside of Gates shook violently.

Only then did Jeong realize there was something strange.

"Hunter Sung Jin Woo?"

At that moment.

Jin Woo's face hardened like a rock.

* * *

“Euaaag”

"Kyaa"

Horrible screams were heard from the entire school.

Fewer than half of the school students are running out for their lives.

The other half had already been killed or were running around the school to avoid the Orcs.

But their escape did not last long.

The Orc hunt, which started from the lower floors, gradually climbed to the top and killed everyone in that way.

“Euaaag”

"Students who can't escape and stay in class please close your ears from the screams downstairs"

The third-class room is on the top floor of the building.

Dan Jin ah is one of the third grade students who has also not escaped.

The only way to defend against the Orcs was to block the classroom doors.

"Well..."

"Damn"

The boys held chairs, a mop, or anything that could be a weapon in their hands. However, nothing was strong enough to calm their frightened minds.

They only hoped that the Hunters would come first before the Orcs entered the classroom.

Boom-oom!

Door's busted.

“Euaaag”

"Kyaaag"

Along with the screams of the students, two orcs covered in blood came to the classroom to see how many humans they could kill.

"Oh, oh."

The boys, who were guarding the door, threw a pellet and ran to the back door and opened it.

But - but

The Orcs, who had been waiting at the back door, swung the axe to the forehead of the boy standing in front of them.

Crcke!

The boy fainted with his eyes wide open.

“Euaaag”

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

The front and back of the class All the exits were blocked by the Orcs.

The other students stood by the window shouting, but everyone knew that jumping from the sixth floor was the same as being caught by the Orcs.

Oppa! Oppa!

Jin Ah closed her eyes while muttering Jin Woo repeatedly amidst the students trying to escape from the Orcs into the corner.

His brother is Hunter Rank-S.

And Jin Ah felt as if she was going to run from somewhere and come here.

That's his only hope.

"Grow"

"Ugh?"

The Orcs, who had pushed the students into a corner of the room, stopped.

Orcs then spoke their own language

"Captain, there are people who have mana"

"Kill him first"

Unlike ordinary humans, humans who could handle mana were dangerous.

And they need to be dealt with first.

One of the Orcs, commanded by the captain, looked at the students and found Jin Ah.

"Aah!"

The orc pulled his wrist and dragged him to the middle of the classroom.

"Is this him?"

"Yes, Captain"

Subordinate's right.

Although weak, but the Captain could feel the mana from him.

Whether it was the ability of the girl or from the weapon, it did not change the fact that she was the first person to be killed.

The captain then raised his axe.

"Ah ah...!"

Jin Ah looked at the axe above her head and closed her eyes.

"Hooks"

The captain snorted, bringing his axe down with an indifferent face.

Shik!

'Opa!'

But then.

Huaak

Black smoke from Jin Ah's shadow instantly appeared

Clangs!

The Orc reconnaissance captain opened his eyes in surprise.

His wrist was currently being held by a High Orc with black armor.

"Cruk?"

Before the captain, Orc could say anything. The High Orc punched and smashed his head like a watermelon.

Booms!
