"Jin Woo oppa!"

Han Songyi's eyes were filled with tears as she greeted Jin Woo happily.

"Leader!"

Although not as big as the girl's reaction, but the two male Hunters also welcomed her

happily.

Park Heejin sighed in relief after realizing Jin Woo was here.

However, Jin Woo has no kindness to return their greetings,

"Shh."

He put a finger to his lips.

Halfway through to hurry up and give him a hug, the four Hunters froze because

the Jin Woo Movement.

Park Heejin asked,

"A-what's up?"

Jin Woo glanced at the fainted Kim Cheol.

Jin Woo is still angry at the man, and feels if he wants to attack him to death without

need blink.

"Kim Cheol followed"

Jin Woo felt a strong presence coming from the forest.

Now was not the time to worry about Kim Cheol.

The real trouble comes from a distance.

shooo

Realizing Jin Woo is staring directly at them, White Walkers releases 'Stealth' and

show oneself.

There are about 20 of them.

One of them stands out from the other.

Jin Woo looked at the White Walker with long hair flowing down his waist above

a horse.

‘... He's the boss.’

Compared to the ice bear or even the White Walkers next to him, those long hairs were

exerts great pressure.

If this was not the boss of the Dungeon, who else could it be?

It's been a while, but the cold piles up on Jin Woo's back.

While Jin Woo lightly trembled at the force of the thing, the boss also observed Jin Woo, who was not,

[“So it's true. Junk finally useful also”]

["What did you say?"]

["...?"]

Jin Woo replied unwittingly, and his boss was surprised.

["You.You speak our language? "]

Jin Woo was both surprised,

"How do I communicate with a magician?"

He could understand the language of the elves.

Not only that, he could actually talk to her.

The words he had never learned flowed out of him as if they were mother tongue.

"You ... can you speak the language of the elves?"

Park Heejin runs out of things that will surprise Jin Woo.

His question gives Jin Woo confirmation that he does speak and understand the language

That ice elf.

"Is this also a System effect?"

Something like a universal translator.

Jin Woo stared back at the boss.

The boss looked at him with an amused face.

[“So we can communicate ... Very interesting.There is someone I want to introduce you”]

The boss gestured to White Wakers who was behind him.

["I'm sure you've met"]

Jin Woo's eyes sharpened.

Indeed, he was familiar with this one.

'The bastard ...'

It was the ice elves who shot arrows towards Han Songyi when their group first started

entering Gates.

He could not forget that arrogant face.

Just like back then, a mockery adorned his lips.

[“He has told me if there is someone strong among humans

with someone it, so- ”]

stab!

The smiling face of the White Walker was now adorned with a Knight Killer sticking out from there.

Note: HEADSHOOTS!!!!!

"Aah!"

The scream came from the Hunters side.

Yoon Gijoong quickly covered his mouth after shouting unintentionally.

thud

White Walker is down.

Jin Woo reached out his hand towards the corpse.

The dagger stuck in his head lightly shook, then returned to Jin Woo's hand.

Jin Woo grabs the Knight Killer with an inverted grip and takes a fighting position,

["Is there anything else?"]

The boss spoke in admiration,

["... You're really strong."]

And get off the horse.

However, the boss did not seem willing to fight yet; it did not take up arms or pose

animosity.

["Yet you should know."]

With a carefree expression, it continued their conversation,

["That's not even you can win against this number."]

Jin Woo looked at the ice elves.

There are at least 20 of them.

But their numbers are not the ones that bother him.

That's the boss's power.

The collection of trash around the boss is no match for Jin Woo, who has greatly improved

his level when hunting ice bears.

As a reminder, Jin Woo just killed a White Walkers with a dagger throw.

"So what to do about his boss?"

While Jin Woo is running a simulation in his mind, the boss continues,

["I have a suggestion"]

["A suggestion?"]

["Yes.I think you'll find it to your advantage as well"]

["..."]

Jin Woo was surprised.

He knew that the humanoid magic beast had a resemblance of intelligence, but he never

thinking that they would attempt to bargain with humans.

His curiosity gets the best of him,

["... Let's listen to it"]

The boss smiled as he expected that response,

["Before that, I had a question."]

["...?"]

[“You are not human.Why are you among human beings? ”]

Jin Woo's eyebrows are shrinking.

["What are you talking about?"]

["Ha ha.Are you unconscious? "]

The boss chuckled then pointed to his temple.

[“In our head, there was a voice whispering to us without rest.It tells us to

'kill all humans'.But in front of you, the voice becomes silent"]

Ah.Is that so?

If that's the case, Jin Woo has a rough theory,

'The word "human" may refer to Hunter'

On the other hand, after coming out of the underground temple with the System, Jin Woo's identity may have been

changed to "Player".

In a narrow sense, he may be listed differently from the Hunter, aka the Awakened Being.

"That's why he mistakenly thinks I'm not human"

Jin Woo thinks he's on target.

Thinking of Jin Woo's facial features as approval, the boss nodded, saying,

[“There is no need for us to fight.We want to avoid bloodshed that does not

need in the end”]

The boss got to the point,

["Give us the humans behind you.Then we'll let you get out of here alive.

How about that? Did you take our advice? "]

Instead of an answer, Jin Woo asks a question instead,

["Let me also ask one thing"]

["Very good."]

[“Who are you? Where did you come from and why are you trying to kill humans? ”]

["We-"]

Suddenly, the smiling boss's face froze for a moment.

Then he continued naturally as if nothing had happened,

[“There is no need for us to fight.We want to avoid bloodshed that does not

need in the end”]

'What was that?'

Jin Woo narrowed his eyes.

The boss reacts like an NPC in a video game, forced to repeat his words after trying

to act outside of its program.

["Give us the humans behind you.Then we'll let you get out of here alive.

How about that? Did you take our advice? "]

It kept on maintaining its carefree smile.

The White Walkers behind him also did not show any reaction.

‘...’

When Jin Woo had just observed the situation in silence, the boss emphasized his question,

["Do you want to accept?"]

Jin Woo wants to get some information about the monsters and their goals but

realize if it'll be worth it.

'In that case…'

There's only one thing left.

The answer has been determined for a long time.

["I refuse"]

The corner of Jin Woo's mouth rose.

‘You see, you have a shadow that looks so delicious to me, to let you go

it was so futile'

He would defeat the boss and take his shadow.

From the moment he looked at that long hair, this was his plan.

[“You want to fight with me and my soldiers? Do you think you can hold back

our numbers? "]

Jin Woo smiled broadly.

An army?

‘You think you're the only one? I also have.Shadow soldier, forward'

Following his will, the soldiers waiting in Jin Woo's shadow appeared behind him.

"U-uwaaak!"

Once again, the shout came from the Hunter side.

Yoon Gijoong screamed after seeing the shadow of the ice bear, the Shadow Beast, and fell behind him.

"Ah uh…"

Jin Woo glanced at the pale face of his teammates and felt a bit bad.

But this was a dangerous moment, there was no time to explain.

"Not that I'll explain even if there's no danger."

There are 29 Shadow Warriors.

Jin Woo stood in front of them and glanced at the boss,

["So.Who's holding back who's number? "]

The boss finally elicited a sense of hostility, though,

["... You just use the usual tricks.Alright, I will fulfill your death request”]

The boss took out two tanto on his side. Note: Tanto \= Japanese sword

Jin Woo mimics his action and holds the Knight Killer in his right hand and

Casaka's Poisoned Fang on his left.

'Ordinary metric ... ’

Well, Jin Woo disagrees.

The shadow warrior might have an advantage in numbers, but he knew that strength

they are overall less compared to bosses.

He understood where the boss's confidence came from.

He needs something strong.

‘Wait, if this is the strong power I need ..’

There's someone who's a match.

Jin Woo quickly glanced at his side.

Kim Cheol still fainted there.

["Groan!"]

On the boss's orders, White Walkers directed their bows.

"Buck!"

Jin Woo placed the Shadow Beasts in front.

Hit it! Hit it! Hit it! Hit it!

The kuwaak!

Shadow Beasts roared while being attacked by arrows.

Before the White Walkers could stage their next round of attacks, the Shadow Warrior advanced.

Sahdow Mages also began their casting.

Jin Woo's eyes lit up,

'My target is you! ’

Before exiting, Jin Woo quickly kicks Kim Cheol's sword at the unconscious Hunter.

Jin Woo's gaze is fixed on the boss and boss at Jin Woo's.

The four daggers clashed in an astonishing display of sparks.

Clangs! Clangs! The cla-clang!

Around them, the battle between the Shadow Warriors and the White Walkers raged.

Go Myunghwan turned to Park Heejin,

"Must ... Should we help too?"

The woman shook her head, though,

"This is not a fight we can fight"

It was a chaotic battlefield where gigantic black monsters swung their claws, and,

destroying the black army that immediately regenerated and it was attacked mercilessly with

sword and arrow.

"What can we, Rank-B and two Rank-Cs, do in this situation?"

All they can do is pray.

Park Heejin stared at Jin Woo's figure who was fighting the long-haired White Walker.

"Your!"

The sound came out of Jin Woo's mouth.

This is indeed a high-level Dungeon boss!

An ordinary observer might think that they are equal, but Jin Woo slowly

pushed back.

Various wounds appeared in various places on his body.

Can he hold on for another three minutes?

Even as he fought with the boss, his army's regeneration continued to drain his mana.

The Shadow Mages had finished reciting their incantations.

A fireball that was much larger than a volleyball fell in the middle of the White Walkers.

A BANG!

It was the power of the Mages leveling up.

The deafening sound of an explosion woke Kim Cheol up.

"Mmc ..."

He raised his head.

Clangs! Clangs! Bam! Booms!

In his hazy view, he saw the terrifying White Walker fighting the army

the unknown black.

'What the fuck?'

He didn't know what was going on, but he knew why he was on the ground.

The hand that hit him behind his head!

The sound he heard when he fell!

"That's Sung Jin Woo!"

As soon as he came to his senses, the humiliation and anger he felt made his hands tremble.

His hand found its way to his sword which was right next to him.

Now that they were surrounded by the White Walkers, they were all as good as dead.

At least, uh,

‘Sung Jin Woo.I'll kill that son of a bitch before I die"

Her hot eyes find Jin Woo back.

... I found!

The bastard fought the White Walkers, and his back was wide open.

This is his chance.

Kim Cheol lifted off the ground and ran.

"Yeahah-ah!"

Feeling something strong run to him, Jin Woo celebrates something in his mind,

‘Ya, if it's you.’

Jin Woo believes in Kim Cheol.

Kim Cheol reaches Jin Woo and swings his sword at Hunter Rank-E's neck with

with all my might.

"DEAD!"

The boss in front of him, Kim Cheol behind him.

As if between a rock and a hard place, Jin Woo shouted,

"English!"

As if waiting, Ygritte rose from Jin Woo's shadow and deflected the direction of Kim Cheol's sword.

clang!

"What?!"

Kim Cheol's eyes widened, revealing flushed white skin.

Before she could say anything, the sword Ygritte dug deeply into Rank-A's chest.

staaab!

The sword pierced through the muscular man's chest and came out from his back.

"The cough!"

Jin Woo quickly backed away from the boss.

'Yes.I believe you, Kim Cheol.I believe that this is what you will do"

A foolish man who moves according to his feelings without thinking about the future.

In no time at all, Jin Woo fully understood what kind of man Kim Cheol was.

Kim Cheol glared at Jin Woo,

"You ... you ..."

And those were Kim Cheol's last words.

As Ygritte keeps the boss busy, Jin Woo stands in front of Kim Cheol's body,

"Rise!"

uwaaaaah

A familiar deep scream was heard from somewhere.

With that, a giant hand came out from Kim Cheol's shadow.
