Chapter 12: (2): – Season 1: Preparation

***

Hyun-seok raised all his stats to 100 in tutorial mode. In fact, he even has nine extra stat points. He knew that penalties would be applied because of that. However, he didnt know whether those penalties would also be applied in the dungeon.

It seems like there are still survivors around.

The notification read safety zone revoked and recovery zone revoked, indicating that there were safe areas in the game, places protected from monster attacks. Hyun-seok and Jong-won took the lead and started running.

In the distance, three men were running toward them. They looked pathetic. Their clothes were tattered, their hair was disheveled, and they looked like they hadnt showered in days.

Damn it, this is the entrance!

Still, they had no choice but to keep running toward Hyun-seok and Jong-won. Jong-won asked, Are you guys, survivors?

One of the men replied, Damn you. Are you guys another rescue team full of lies?

It was not surprising that they were skeptical. There had been quite a few slayers who had claimed to be rescuers, but they were all useless. They usually died fighting orcs and caused chaos by attracting more orcs from other areas. The rescue teams were actually getting in the way of their survival.

For a while, no rescue teams came, but then they suddenly appeared again. Apparently, they had cleared the dungeon in IUET, and the strategy information had been released.

Anyway, that was not important right now. The safety zone had disappeared, and even the crystal that restored their health had disappeared. They had been relying on those things to recover their health, but now they were gone. They were left with no choice but to die.

Another man suddenly fell to the ground.

Weve already made a mistake.

You idiot! What mistake did we make? Hey, if you have something to eat, give it up willingly.

One of the men pointed his weapon, an ordinary sword, at Hyun-seok and his group. Jong-won shrugged his shoulders and said, He seems pretty confident for someone begging for food.

Shut up!

The man clenched his teeth. Whether they had food or not, death was inevitable. The orcs hadnt discovered their location yet, but once they did, they were as good as dead. The rescue team had experienced too many failures to hold onto hope. It was a die-or-die situation.

Hyun-seok stepped forward.

We didnt bring any food supplies, but we might be able to help you. This is IUETs combat slayer, Ha Jong-won, and I am Yoo Hyun-seok. This is our support slayer, Yoo Min-seo. We came to clear the dungeon.

IIUET?

TheSolo Orc Slayer?

HaHa Jong-won?!

IUET was incredibly famous. As a guild that had cleared the dungeon this time, they had become well-known, and among them, Ha Jong-won was a particularly renowned slayer who ran a separate assassination group and was famous for being a top-tier slayer who could solo orcs. He was considered one of the most famous slayers in Korea.

As soon as he revealed that he was Jong-won from IUET, the situation was turned around. The three survivors handed over all the information they had learned so far to Hyun-seoks party. There was one open space in the dungeon, and if they followed the winding path, they would come across three rooms. Moreover, it was limited to a maximum of seven people, and there were safe zones at certain intervals that blocked monster access and restored health, but they suddenly disappeared. That was because of Hyun-seoks entry, but he didnt bother to mention it.

To these people, Hyun-seok and his group were their only hope. It wasnt originally the case, but because Jong-won had intervened, they had gained hope. A hard-earned hope. They were thinking that they should be careful, because if seven Orcs rushed at them all at once, they wouldnt be able to avoid being wiped out. With the safe zone gone, if even they died, there would be no hope of survival.

Min-seo smirked.

If the Orcs are sensitive to sound should we call them over here?

Jong-won nodded.

Yes. Thats a good idea.

The faces of the survivors turned pale.

W-What the!

O-Orcs! Not other monsters!

From their perspective, it was an unreasonable idea. Orcs usually hunt in teams of 5-6. Hunting is possible with fewer numbers, but the danger is too high. But to hunt seven Orcs, not even defeating them individually but all at once was insane. It was like saying Lets commit suicide. Min-seo shouted,

Orcs! Come out! Come out! Come out! Come out!

D-Dammit!

But the deed was already done. At the same time that Min-seo shouted, echoes resounded in the cave.

Were screwed

Aare you crazy?

Seeing the men show a perfectly logical response, Jong-won grinned. He could explain in detail, but it was too much trouble. Seeing is believing.

Kruooo!

The Orcs roar could be heard from far away. Thump! Thump! Thump! The sound of running could be heard as if they were running their hardest.

Despair enveloped the faces of the survivors, and at that moment, Hyun-seok took a step forward. He had come with the purpose of rescuing survivors from the beginning. There was no need to hide his strength when his purpose was to rescue. No, he intended to show his full strength.

Unnecessarily, it was troublesome that rumors had spread about how strong he was, but he had already prepared for countermeasures. After understanding the situation, Hyun-seok grinned. It was hard to find tension in his face.

Min-seo, stand back.
