Chapter 13: (1): Season 1 – Preparation

Chapter 13: (1): Season 1 – Preparation

Hyun-seok wasnt someone who enjoyed exposing himself and doing something in front of others. However, that didnt mean he always stayed hidden in the background. To put it simply, if it was a situation where he could step forward or not, he wouldnt step forward.

So, even when he awakened as a Slayer in the past, he only talked to his close friend, Jong-won, and watched the situation from a distance. But when it was time to step forward, he did. If he came to rescue someone, then it was right to rescue them. There wasnt a penalty for hiding his strength. He had already made up his mind to use his power freely.

Hyun-seok confidently stepped forward. Whether the survivors faces turned pale or not, he didnt care. It was better to show than to just talk, as they wouldnt listen no matter how many times he spoke.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

He extended his fist towards the orc running towards him, exhaling his characteristic hot breath. It was conventional wisdom to attack with a weapon since the orc had a sturdy shield and hitting it with a fist could result in broken bones or injuries.

Wh-what a reckless

Ha

The survivors no longer believed that they were dealing with someone who claimed to be IUET. They couldnt believe that someone who claimed to be IUET would fight an orc so foolishly. They regretted rushing here with these guys.

Pakak!

A huge sound, as if bones were breaking, resounded.

This cant be happening!

Oh my god!

Screams and cries of the survivors erupted. Hyun-seok clenched and unclenched his fist repeatedly.

That was good.

Suddenly, he looked at Jong-won and said something.

Jong-won, keep watch over that area. If an orc appears anywhere, let me know right away.

Got it. I can handle up to two orcs.

The word cover means to withstand until Hyun-seok comes to help, literally. No matter how famous and powerful an IUET member is as a slayer, the gap with Hyun-seok was huge because Hyun-seok was already a slayer outside the easy mode specification.

As Hyun-seok turned his shoulder and stretched his body, Min-seo asked him, Oppa, why all of a sudden?

There arent many places where high-level monsters like orcs gather at once. Im trying to practice adjusting my strength during this opportunity.

One hit, one kill. Thats the way Hyun-seok has been mastering so far. When he succeeded in one-hit, one-kill 30 times in a row, he acquired the Iron Fist skill through repeated practice. However, he suddenly became curious about how much damage the skill would inflict if he hit with a certain amount of power.

The leader of the assassination team, Jong-won, from IUET, leads the way in dungeon clears!

The dungeon was cleared. It wasnt just Hyun-seoks group that had cleared it, though. They couldnt tackle dungeons with a participant limit, but they had already cleared three dungeons that didnt have a limit on participants.

Six survivors safely return! Family members weep!

A miracle occurs! Twelve days of struggle for survival!

And there were survivors in those three places as well. Some had prepared food in advance, while others barely managed to survive in recovery zones and safe areas until they were rescued along with the dungeon clear.

Jong-won had rescued three survivors while clearing a dungeon with a limit of six people and a very high level of difficulty. As if IUET wasnt already highly esteemed, Jong-wons actions only elevated its status even further.

Hey, but is it okay that only I became famous?

Its not about being okay, its about the best scenario.

Hyun-seok shrugged at Jong-wons words. Even though they did the same thing, Jong-won was the one who received the spotlight. He operated the Assassination Squad and was affiliated with IUET.

However, the survivors almost ended up in a mental hospital. The fact that a man named Hyun-seok had taken down dozens of orcs alone was an unbelievable fact. Jong-won and Hyun-seok claimed to have fought together, which was more credible than the unrealistic stories of the people who had been closed in the dungeon for over ten days. After all, it was unlikely that there would be anyone who could take down an orc alone, at least in terms of common sense. Thanks to this, the testimony of the survivors was mostly dismissed as nonsense.

If theres something good about becoming famous, its that youll probably have a lot of annoying things to deal with. I dont even have a windbreaker like the Hanji Foundation.

Hey, but even if its just regular people, it seems like there are people within IUET who are keeping an eye on you.

Well, I cant help that. Its not like Im purposely hiding my strengthI dont plan on being a full-time slayer anyway

Its not something that needs to be hidden unconditionally. Hes just hiding it because theres no need to reveal it. Hes not even a full-time slayer. Hyun-seok lost himself in thought as he spoke.

Normally, I wouldnt have even thought about it for real

But now, his thoughts seem to have changed a bit. Within the dungeon, there were a total of three rooms. Perhaps because it was still in EASY MODE, there were only orcs and they were easily dealt with. In the last room, there was an orc much larger than the typical ones, with sharp teeth. Fighting that orc was, how should I put it, thrilling. It created a sense of tension and was, dare I say, fun. It was just a simple brawl, though.

What was even more exciting was that after defeating all the orcs in every room and breaking the crystal in the third and final room, they were rewarded with incredible loot:
