As Hunter started to leave, Yoo Jinho asked with a worried expression,

You want me and Jin Woo hyung to stay here? In the boss room? "

With a laugh in his eyes, Hwang Dongseok replied,

"That monster didn't even wake up after all the hustle just now.You guys will be fine.

I have some things I want to discuss with my teammates while smoking.

We'll be back in a minute"

Jin Woo listened to Hwang Dongseok's half-measure explanation and smiled

in his satin.

‘So, they have revealed their true selves.But to think that

they'll all just walk away.Are you not underestimating us too much?"

That was probably because Jin Woo and Jinho's ratings were so low.

But just as Jin Woo had guessed, Hwang Dongseok and his comrades, were really moving

as expected.

Even if it was a little different from what he had in mind.

It has been 4 years since Jin Woo started working as a Hunter; at that time, he has met

there are many different hunters.

One of them is Oh-ssi ahjussi.

He is a freelancer who occasionally helps with Association work.

"Be careful with lizards"

It was something that Oh-ssi repeated occasionally.

It is common to find danger in Raid.

At that time, there will be certain Hunters who will sacrifice their own friends for

escape safely.

Whether it was because the victim was not part of their team or the victim was much weaker than

them, it doesn't matter.

They will be thrown aside.

Like a lizard cutting off its tail to escape.

"Cutting off his tail ..."

Oh-ssi will call the Hunters with a "Lizard", and their actions, the,

it's "cutting his tail".

The minimum number of people required for Gates Rank-C was 10, but the first team

Hwang Dongseok only consists of 8 people.

“You should know, it is very difficult to get a Hunter Healer class for a private raiding party.

We always do it like this"

If they were "always like this", it meant that they had entered many Rank-C Gates before.

"Of course they won't bother filling the two remaining places"

You need to leave room for the tail.

There was a reason why they didn't care if the filler member was a Rank-E Hunter or a beginner.

And now, just because they were not part of the original group, Hwang Dongseok

he is planning to leave Sung Jin Woo and Yoo Jinho.

"I think it's good for me."

After learning of Hwang Dongseok's intentions, Jin Woo doesn't feel bad.

Instead, that's what he wanted.

However, Yoo Jinho, who was his first Raid, felt insecure.

He asked in a worried voice,

"Well, just keep ... Don't you think we should all go together?"

Jin Woo noticed one of the Hunters moving his hand towards his weapon.

He approached and placed a hand on Yoo Jinho's shoulder.

"It's okay.We'll stay behind and come back quickly here"

The Hunter's hand stopped.

"Hyung ...?"

Yoo Jinho looked at him with a pleading expression, but Jin Woo did not respond and instead

shaking his head.

The young man was annoying, but he couldn't just let him die.

After all, even without any benefit to himself, Jinho tried to help Jin Woo

with the previous contract.

Hwang Dongseok smiled at the two.

"Our car is parked right in front.We won't take long.See you again”

And 8 Hunter left the boss room.

Their footsteps quickly disappeared into the distance.

Yoo Jinho turned around and questioned Jin Woo accusingly,

“Hyung, how can you say that? What if the monster wakes up?"

He's afraid of spiders.

"It seems he has not fully understood the situation"

Jin Woo clicked his tongue in his mind.

It would be annoying to explain every little detail to this kid.

Instead, he began to warm up.

________________________________________

That was when Hwang Dongseok turned around and faced the boss room.

The Hunters who followed him also stopped.

They're actually not far from the boss room, they're just far away until they get enough noise

they will not reach.

Smiling, Hwang Dongseok raised his chin towards Jo Gyuhwan.

"Gyuhwan, block the entrance to the boss' room"

"Should I blow it up?"

"Yes.But don't ruin it too much, we still have to go back into it”

Lee Cheoljin interrupted them,

"Hwang hyung, why go through all this trouble? Why not just

kill them both there? "

Hwang Dongseok turned his sharp gaze towards the man, his eyes narrowed.

No need to put up a lie face anymore.

"Pardon me."

Hwang Dongseok clicked his tongue.

"And if the spider wakes up when we fight? How can we mine

that magic crystal? ”

"I'm sorry"

Jo Gyuhwan joined them, too,

"Hwang hyung, now that you mention it, isn't it that the spider will still wake up

if we try to mine those magic crystals? We can't mine it without causing

sound"

It was something that ate dangerous insect-type monsters.

If they were caught off guard while mining, it would cause disaster for their party.

"And that's why,"

Hwang Dongseok smiled widely, though,

"We'll feed him with those two"

"Ah."

Jo Gyuhwan nodded, understanding the meaning.

Right now, they don't know when the spider will wake up.

Maybe 10 hours from now or 1 minute from now.

So the best option is to wake him up now and feed him, to

revitalize her sleep cycle.

The sound of the door being blown up must have awakened him.

Hwang Dongseok continued, saying,

"We can mine magic crystals when the spider goes back to sleep after eating"

The association had given 5 days to their Raid, which meant that they were still

They will wait to see if the spider will fall asleep.

Otherwise, they would just defeat him and try to mine as many crystals as possible

before Gates closed.

They may not be able to get it all in just an hour, but with a lack of it

people to be divided, they might still be able to earn a large income.

Isn't that better than working in fear?

The most important thing is their safety.

"And of course, that's the worst-case scenario ..."

If they were lucky, they would be able to take all of his magic crystals, defeating

spider, and get Yoo Jinho's gear.

"The sword and shield were .. At least, each of them was worth several hundred million"

There is little they can lose.

The corner of Hwang Dongseok's mouth rose.

"Alright, close the entrance and let's go out for a smoke"

"Yes, hyung."

As he replied, a dazzling light gathered in Jo Gyuhwan's hands.

"..."

Yoo Jinho's eyes were fixed on the spider, doing his best to calm his breath.

He asked with a frightened expression,

"The spider ... You don't think it's gonna wake up all of a sudden, do you?"

"Hm ..."

Jin Woo kept his words.

He had an idea of what was coming, but he felt like explaining it in a way

obviously, since it would make this young man faint.

"Now if I think about it ..."

Yoo Jinho's words came back after five minutes of silence.

Compared to his nagging attitude earlier, it seemed like the young man was really scared

at present.

And at that moment,

A BANG!

With a fierce sound, the entrance of the boss room collapsed.

"Huh? Huh?!!!"

Yoo Jinho ran towards the entrance in a panic, but the falling stones were already

blocking the way out.

He pushed with all his might, but the stones did not move.

Jin Woo approached her casually.

“Hng-! Hyung, help me with this! ”

The young man was still trying to clean the rocks with his only strength

it's about an ounce.

"That mage's name is Jo Gyuhwan?"

Jin Woo notices a flash of light before the collapse.

Mage Rank-C that uses light.

This must be him.

Jin Woo placed his hand on one of the stones.

"I can get out of this easily."

He could feel the weight of the stone through his touch.

It was lighter than expected.

Putting a bit of strength into it, he felt the stone nearby move slightly.

However, he had no intention of leaving.

"ah! I understand!"

Yoo Jinho suddenly stopped pushing and spoke with understanding.

He turned to Jin Woo with a red face and continued,

"Those assholes are trying to kill us! They did not want to share the magic crystals

so they would block the path and let the spiders do their job! "

'Yes.Finally you understand.Good job.'

Jin Woo held his breath.

"You understand.It looks like we're in trouble. "

"Aragh!"

The face that was red with anger quickly turned pale.

Jin Woo doesn't have to ask why.

He saw the movements of the giant monster reflected in Yoo Jinho's eyes.

Anywhere and then turned.

grrrr

The spider, which awoke from the sound, slowly moved its huge body.

The same size as a house.

Has dozens of eyes.

A scary mandible.

Long and thick legs.

Seeing him move it made him seem much scarier than when he was sleeping.

"Gee ..."

Yoo Jinho started to moan in fear.

His whole body was frozen.

On the other hand, Jin Woo directed his gaze at the spider and calmly called out

Casaka's Poisoned Fang from his storage.

'You're mine.'

Finally it was time to test his ability improvement.

Casaka's Poisoned Fang appeared in his right hand.

Holding it as if it was always there, he tightened his grasp.

Now the real hunt begins.

Time to show why the Hunter is called the Hunter!

"Wait,hyung!"

Yoo Jinho frantically stopped Jin Woo, who was walking towards the spider.

"W-what are you going to do?"

Yoo Jinho's hand holding Jin Woo trembled.

Jin Woo pointed at the spider with his left hand.

"I'll beat him"

This was the reason why Jin Woo had followed Hwang Dongseok until now.

If he tries to 'cut the tail', Jin Woo will take all the monsters in the Dungeon

for himself.

It was a good opportunity to gain valuable experience points and magic cores.

'If the boss hadn't eaten all those monsters ...'

He can get a lot more.

Very regrettable.

Meanwhile, Yoo Jinho, who does not know the truth about Jin Woo, looks at him with no

believing.

"What did Hyung say?"

Jinho remembers hearing somewhere that people go crazy sometimes

after being very surprised.

And now, this Rank-E Hunter said he would defeat a Rank-C Dungeon boss by himself.

What is this, if not crazy ?!

"You're gonna beat that monster?"

Jin Woo scratched the top of his head, and,

"Do you want to do it?"
