Chapter 223

223. 8 months later 4

“Ah~ I finally arrived.”

“If we had left a little later, we wouldn’t have arrived on time.”

It was after the sky had turned black that Kang Seung-hyeon and a group of adventurers arrived at the temporary camp.

It was a little slow to bring three people with luggage, but fortunately it was okay because I had come up with other adventurers halfway up.

“Welcome to the temporary camp at the top of Skana Mountain...”

Upon entering the campsite, the adventurers were greeted by a tired-looking Adventurers Guild staff.

After all, it looks like it was extremely ground up to build a campsite.

“This is a tent for accommodation, this is a restaurant, this is a general store...”

“If you need anything, let us know.”

“Have a good rest today. The full-fledged raid will start tomorrow...”

Although it was made in a hurry, everything was there.

However, since it was a campsite prepared for a special mission, it was smaller than a general monster clearing camp.

‘The number of people, including the staff, is less than 40.’

Even though it was a mountain village, it was a situation where a village was blown away, so the staff were generally nervous.

“He’s the one who evaded the pursuit of many adventurer parties, so let’s be careful. Carelessness is defeat.”

“It is said that it is often seen in the Blon Valley, so it would be good to lay a trap there.”

“Let’s divide into three teams and drive them into the corner to catch them. Mobility is an important task, so let the ranger take the lead...”

The adventurers, on the other hand, were planning their plans with a calm feeling that wasn’t too tense or exhilarating.

‘You’ll do fine. I don’t care if there are many wounded.’

Kang Seung-hyeon was not interested in the plan, so he was sitting a step away and reading various materials given to him by the union staff.

[Skanakia Village Crisis Report]

[Survivors: 0] [Death: 287]

[Bodies were found all over the village in a terribly disfigured state...]

“You were here? Thank you earlier!”

“huh?”

Then someone’s voice was heard.

When I turned my head, the adventurer from earlier approached me politely. Seeing that my feet are fine, it seems that I went to a healer and received treatment.

“I am Mina. What is your adventurer’s name?”

“My name is Young-Hoo Lee.”

Kang Seung-hyun sneakily checked his ID.

Among the many fake identities created, the name used in this quest is Lee Young-hu, who has gone a long way.

“Can I sit here?”

“Please.”

“Thank you, Lee Young-hoo! Excuse me a little bit.”

Mina sat in an empty chair nearby and watched the scheming group of adventurers.

“Wow, everyone is passionate.”

“He was burning with enthusiasm.”

“I heard earlier that some people over there were people who challenged to catch the Shadow Wolf even before this quest turned into a raid.”

“is it so?”

According to Mina, 1/3 of the raid members were party members who tried to attack the black beast and failed.

In other words, they are called experienced losers.

“Can we win this time? Let’s defeat that monster together!”

Naturally, ponytail hair and narrow eyes were also among those losers. According to Maina, she was the only person who participated in the first party without giving up.

“I don’t think it’s okay for a newbie like me to get involved.... As expected, at times like this, you just have to watch and follow what they’re told, right?”

Mina wiggled her hands and said.

After all, this guy was a novice adventurer who blindly participated because he was attracted by the high reward.

‘There’s always at least one kid like this.’

Kang Seung-hyun thought pathetically and opened his mouth.

“You’re a fledgling? Mina-san fought bravely against the black beast... no, the shadow wolf.”

Of course, without revealing his true intentions, he smiled kindly.

‘If I encourage it moderately like this, I’ll fight bravely again and get hurt.’

Kang Seung-hyun of 3 years ago was a trash who looked at people more than he does now.

Because the raid has already started.

“Ah, everyone is impatient.”

“...”

“Well, tonight is just before the full moon, so the moon is bright, so there won’t be any big problems with the search, right?”

Just then, a man with ponytails smiled and approached Kang Seung-hyun.

“Waiting until tomorrow in the first place was a waste of time. Isn’t it?”

“...”

“It doesn’t make sense to postpone it to another day, but...”

he said and disappeared into the mountains.

Apparently, he overheard the conversation with the troller earlier.

‘You unlucky bastard. I’m sure this bastard is the culprit.’

Kang Seung-hyun clicked his tongue as he saw the ponytail.

I don’t know what kind of grudge he has against the shadow wolf, but seeing that he comes to the side and gives a damn about trying to delay the raid, he’s definitely not a normal person.

‘I don’t have time to argue, so let’s move first.’

If left as it is, enraged adventurers will roam the forest and beat the black beast to death.

‘It’s okay if I find it first.’

The easiest way to find someone who has disappeared is to make them appear.

‘I’ve been worried about something ever since.’

Others did not respond, so I passed it on because I thought I had heard it wrong, but I said,

“{I’m sorry! I’m sorry!}”

“{I didn’t do that on purpose...}”

In fact, Kang Seung-hyun heard the black beast talking earlier. It was a lot of noise, but it sounded very embarrassed.

‘Even when I looked at the reports and data, there was nothing that the monster talked about. There was only a sentence written saying that it made an incomprehensible scream.’

He obviously heard the black beast speak, but others couldn’t understand at all.

Usually people think it’s hallucinations, but Kang Seung-hyun came up with a hypothesis.

‘Maybe this is Korean?’

Azul Continental people can’t understand the words of the dimension mover who turned off [God’s Communication], but there is no problem between the dimension movers.

‘So I wanted to try it in a quiet mountain, but the situation is such that I can’t help it.’

Kang Seung-hyeon cleared his throat and went up to the camp guard. Usually camp guards have magic installed to amplify sound.

‘It means it’s a perfect place for broadcasting.’

Kang Seung-hyun, who went up to the guard, turned off [God’s Communication] and shouted.

“□※°′′...※◎ ↑%%$#.”

“◈ишх°F%^$^$^.”

“œÞøħ%*#@@|P{{.”

Kang Seung-hyun’s voice echoed throughout the mountain.

“What is it?”

“what is this sound?”

Since [God’s Communication] was turned off, it was naturally felt as an incomprehensible scream to the adventurers’ ears.

But if there was someone somewhere in the mountains who could speak Korean, a Korean dimension mover, whatever.

“{If anyone can hear this voice.}”

“{Please come to the mid-slope of Skana Mountain}” “{

I have a question I want to ask you}”

You might have heard these words.

chin chin chin.

Kang Seung-hyun, who finished the broadcast, went straight down the middle of Skana Mountain.

In fact, there is no evidence that the black beast always speaks Korean, and even if it does, there is no guarantee that it will always appear.

Still, the reason why I went to the middle of the hill was,

‘If you don’t try it, it’s enough to search in the mountains.’

It is because Kang Seung-hyun does not regret his choice.

And Kang Seung-hyeon, who finally reached the halfway point.

“{I am not like that...}”

I found a black beast hiding in the grass and trembling.
