CH 258

underdog (2)

The coalition advance team crossed the portal.

3 guilds represented by the KH Guild, a total of 4 guilds in a combined raid of 30 people.

"We divide into four groups and search each direction."

It's hard to expect teamwork in an improvised raid anyway. The time to match the limbs was too short, and the best method was adopted.

Each guild forms a group to demonstrate extreme teamwork. And the execution of an organic operational coalition for each group.

The surrounding map is an abandoned urban terrain, and cover-ups are widespread.

Papa.

The teams that were divided into east, west, north and south gathered to the starting point again.

Perhaps because of luck, no monsters were found near the starting area.

"I think this building would be suitable. We use this as our base camp."

It's good. Who's on the defense team first?

"It starts with us."

The Jangsan Guild came forward and took charge of the defense team.

One defensive group rests while guarding the base camp, and the other three groups go hunting.

This is a pre-agreed strategy, and it is the goal and purpose of entering the 8-star dungeon.

Boss raids are not their purpose.

Just increasing each individual's rank through hunting, and increasing the power of each guild through this.

Their mission this time is not to clear this dungeon, but to increase the appropriate experience.

All of these operational ideas were possible because of the hearthstone.

"Come on, don't overdo it and let's fight."

"Good luck."

"Let's see. I take the U-class first."

Before they started hunting, they shared jokes with each other and dispersed.

and never met again.

*The 6 members of the Jangsan Guild kept the base camp strong and waited for the other group to return.

"It's not even a bird, it's flying around worryingly."

A four-legged beast gliding in the sky has been watching me with a very bad mood.

uh? At 12 o'clock, something is approaching."

I looked over at the words of the team member in charge of the guard, and the team member who was vigilant on the other side shouted urgently.

"It also approaches 6 o'clock!"

"What, what?"

The leader of the Jangsan Guild did not make a decision easily.

If we kept the base camp, we would soon be surrounded, and if we moved to the battlefield, we didn't have a specific assembly point set aside.

"Hey, move."

Life in the present is more valuable than future plans.

The Jangsan Guild team in charge of defending the base camp has moved.

He quickly moved to the 9 o'clock direction and defeated the monster.

done. It's like a Lizardman... ."

"Get a job!"

A Lizardman who has failed to find a job is an easy opponent even with an S rank.

The monster hunting they tasted while leaving the battlefield quickly awakened their confidence.

Hunting in an 8-star dungeon!

We can too!

"Quickly kill and move!"

The voice of the Jangsan Guild leader was full of confidence.

It's a problem because there are so many monsters, won't it eventually decrease if you hit and fall?

'Heh, if you're just giving me so much fear... .'

Former champion Lee Seong-woo did that.

If the strategy up to 7-star dungeon was exploration and hunting, from 8-star it was war and assassination.

bullshit and bullshit

It's just a whisper to scare you. Aren't you a loser like Lee Seong-woo anyway?

It's just a dwarf word for nothing.

Run away for a while, then gather around the area and join the other team.

If you hunt like this, you will shoot SS grades and U grades as well.

"Come on, let's be strong."

Yep!

The Jangsan Guild team ran away without a break and killed the monsters.

And he kept running like that.

*8 head guilds.

The first few days were good.

Some S-class mercenaries were upgraded to SS, and it felt like teamwork had risen to the top.

"Damn it, there is no end."

It's an awakening that his physical abilities are beyond the realm of human beings, but how long can he move without resting?

No matter how strong they are, can they survive for days without sleeping?

Simply holding on and maintaining the best possible condition for battle are two different things.

Now, four days have passed, and it seems cumbersome to use a knife, and without properly finishing the monster, they rushed through the siege and escaped.

It is more desperate to secure a safe hiding place and sleep for a while than to confirm and kill a fallen monster and gain experience.

"Shivaal!"

They rushed to escape by the monster corps that were constantly narrowing the siege.

*KH Guild 8 people.

"Huh, I got it wrong."

Ten days have passed since I went hunting.

We haven't been able to get back to our first base camp yet.

There is no means of communication between scattered team members.

Fortunately, the bright complexion of the KH team is because they have a hearthstone.

At the last moment, he had enough of a bastion to escape, so he was able to continue his original purpose of hunting.

'Damn it.'

Lee Sung-woo's words were not empty words.

I thought it was a troll like a loser.

manager. I will come again."

"Let's go."

The encirclement of monsters is narrowing.

In the first few days, they hunted monsters, and in the next few days they formed a long front and fought back and forth.

And now they're just being chased like rabbits that come and go.

"Aaaaah."

That four-legged beast that never approaches the attack range and only flies in the sky is annoying.

Go.

*7 members of the Woongbi Guild.

A large man was running with a person behind him.

manager . I'm lazy."

"What bullshit! Hold on!"

"Leave me and go."

Shut up!

Three have already died.

Four people left.

If even the subordinates lying on their backs die, there are now three.

"Only the spirit will surely save you."

"I'm the team leader ."

Youngman, lying on his back, simply called the team leader.

hate.

I hate this feeling of being a burden.

Nevertheless, the reason why only Young cannot make a decision is because he thinks that the end of the other living companions will not be very different anyway.

If one die and the other team members can live, it would be, but there is no hope for this team.

If you're going to die anyway, isn't it okay to die together at the last moment?

"Youngman, are you breathing?"

"Yes."

"Can you see that?"

Yes?

Youngman, who was lying on the team leader's back, pushed his swollen eyelids with blood bruises and forcibly opened his eyes.

uh?

"Damn, I don't know what it is, but I think we bought it."

Papa Papak.

Thousands of hordes of monsters are chasing you from afar.

And for some reason, monsters were falling behind them, covered in blood.

The appearance of beings chasing the monsters that are chasing them.

The team leader lowered his spirit and looked at the team members.

"Go into that building and hold on."

Yep!

I know that there is no ecosystem between monsters in an 8-star dungeon.

Neither goblins nor orcs nor ogres fight each other. All of them are just subordinates of the monarch.

There is no reason why the mysterious existence that stirs up the monster army in this dungeon is the enemy.

The monsters that used to hunt them down with a vicious face are now being hunted down as prey.

Papa Pat!

It bumps into a building and rolls on the floor.

manager. Are you just passing by?"

Know. Quiet.

They are being pursued without even thinking of searching the hidden building.

It was not an illusion that the faces of the monsters looked like they were terrified.

doo doo doo doo.

A herd of water buffalo with huge triangular horns raced like crazy, hit the monsters' backs and threw them into the sky.

"Kurre."

"Kung, Kung!"

Behind them, wolves and four-legged beasts passed, killing the monsters.

'monster?'

At first I thought so.

The giant wolf looked just like a monster wherever he looked.

However, as soon as he thought of a man who was associated with a number of beasts, he could feel the tension in his mind relieved.

"Looks like a champion has arrived."

He once had a record of saving a raid that was left behind in a dungeon.

This time, he probably came to the rescue at the request of the Alliance Guild.

"Hey, I'm alive."

"Damn it, I'm alive. I live!"

A swarm of monsters is already running away from the beasts.

He vomited out intense emotions.

"It was here."

"Come out."

The face protruding from the wall of the building was not Park Soo-ho's.

However, as he is a hot character in the mercenary society, the face they know.

'Han Dong-soo.'

Guardian guild president and motive for mercenary exam.

"Oh, that one is seriously injured. Seyeon!"

Dong-su hurried to find Jin Se-yeon, and he approached and cast a healing skill.

woo woo woo.

"What?"

Young-man, who had been injured in various places and was unable to move, soon returned and recovered from the injury.

"Go, thank you."

As the body gets better and the pain lessens, the hope that I am truly alive begins to wriggle.

Then a man suddenly came up behind them.

A person so familiar, so famous that I wondered if there was anyone in the world who didn't know him.

"Stand out."

Yep.

Suho looked at the four people and asked.

"Is it four?"

That's right. I'm from the Ungbi Guild... ."

"I can't introduce myself."

" ."

Suho cut off his horse.

I do not wonder where his former affiliation is or what his name is.

"If you follow me, you live, if you stay, you die. Choose."

Does anyone have the wrong choice for this easy question?

The conditions of protection followed their ears as they tried to answer.

"I only seek my subordinates."

" ."

The meaning of Suho was clear.

follow me saves me

Who would choose death right now?

good.

"I'm about to die right now, so what?"

Suho smiled when all four of them agreed.

"Welcome."

They are not Suho's bus, but have already reached S or SS grades on their own.

Veterans with at least 5 years of mercenary life.

got good power.

A large man who was the leader of the Woongbi Guild.

Kang Seok-ho asked.

"Are there any other survivors?"

"We saved 15 people including you, not 7 people who jumped out."

The person who jumped out would be a KH guild member with a hearthstone.

Thirty people came in, and there were 22 survivors.

With only eight deaths, should we say that we are happy or sad?

'It was an unreasonable plan in the first place.'

He trusted only the hearthstone and sent his poor power into the 8-star dungeon.

To pursue the guardian guild that develops without a break.

blind to experience.

For a moment, I forgot the weight and risk of an 8-star dungeon.

"Let's go out because we've saved everything."

Suho turned his back and went in the direction the beasts were chasing, and Dongsu took the survivors.

"Hehe, welcome to the family."

Kang Seok-ho is a person he knows too.

12th guild in Seoul.

The representative awakener of the Woongbi Guild and an SS-level veteran.

Before the appearance of the Guardian Guild, he was a veteran mercenary who was ranked among the top 10 in Korea.

Mercenaries who ruled Korea before the appearance of the Guardian Guild.

'I got two old rankers.'

From Hong Se-hee to Kang Seok-ho.

* Gangneung 8-star dungeon occurrence site.

"Uh, come out."

It's been two days and three hours since the last attack.

The reason the ship was delayed compared to the previous attack was probably because of the rescue of the survivors.

Papa Pat.

A reporter muttered as he was counting the number of people who passed through the portal.

"Eight people are not enough."

"What? disappear."

The portal gradually decreased in size and disappeared.

The 8-star dungeon, which attracted the attention of the world beyond Korea, has been extinguished.

; 8-star dungeon annihilated. The victory of mankind.

The headline of the article with the most views was too much to convey hope.

A field where mankind has given up observation.

Even now, dozens of hundreds of dungeons in the field are being created and breaking is repeated.

A beach near the Arctic glacier.

The break of one dungeon, 40 days after its creation, was imminent.

'37 days left.'

The break time of this dungeon was known only to regressor Lee Seong-woo.
