Chapter 51

[Sleep Disruption]

Flame Valley.

It was a landform made up of black strangely shaped rocks and lava flowing.

As soon as I arrived, I fanned my hands and looked around as the heat spread through my entire body.

“Whoa… it’s hot, hot.”

A volcano was visible a few kilometers away to the west.

Right up there lived the ‘Fire Giant’, the ruler of the Flame Valley.

When you kill the fire giant, this gate will disappear and dozens of gates around it will also disappear.

In addition, I can obtain the soul stone, which is my goal.

Perhaps because we were still at the entrance to the gate, there was no sign of any monsters nearby.

I guess I’ll have time to do some maintenance.

“Equipment team. Please replace it with fire prevention equipment right away.”

[Yes!]

Soon, equipment support team members got out of the vehicle with equipment bags. They clung to me and the little boy, two at a time.

Cheon Seol-ah, leader of the equipment support team who came to me, said.

“manager. “Please raise your arms.”

Crash. Crash. Clap!

The armor previously worn was separated from the front and back, and armor made of fire-retardant material took its place.

The entire process was completed in one minute.

Cheon Seol-ah said as she put a new helmet on me.

“Armor replacement complete.”

Cool energy flowed from the helmet, cooling my head.

I looked down at the overall white armor with a light blue tint and was impressed.

“This exceeds your expectations?”

It wasn’t just the pitching. Cold air flowed from the entire armor, helping superhumans move comfortably even in this harsh environment.

Cheon Seol-ah nodded.

“I was surprised when I received it for the first time.”

This fireproof armor was the latest equipment provided only to our 7th team, combining the latest engineering technology, body parts of cold monsters, and craftsmanship.

Jang Yeong-shin, right over there, had made the little boy a disguised favor for me a while ago.

Youngshin Jang came out of the golem and was walking towards the little boy.

“…Lily.”

For some reason, the little boy looked a little glum from earlier.

“…yes?”

In response to the little boy’s helpless response, Jang Young-shin spoke while pressing the button on the little boy’s armor.

“…If you press this…. ice cream will come out.”

The little boy was so surprised by the surprise event that his eyes widened.

“ice cream?”

It was ice cream in the form of a jjjuba.

The smile was a little weak, but the little boy said with a bright smile.

“Thank you, brother!”

Jang Young-shin, who could not bear that smile, blushed and turned his head.

“…It’s nothing special.”

It was nice and warm up to that point.

The problem was that no matter how much I looked, there wasn’t anything resembling a button on my armor.

I glanced at Jang Young-shin and muttered.

“You shameful bastard. “Isn’t my mouth also a mouth?”

When Cheon Seol-ah saw me like that, she shook her head.

“manager. “If an adult does that, he or she looks petty.”

Then, as if he had already brought it, he unfolded the weapon box in front of me.

“What weapon will you use?”

The weapon box contained various types of weapons.

Swords, spears, whips, axes, blunt weapons, and even ranged weapons.

All weapons were perfectly polished and shiny.

After thinking for a moment, I picked one of them up.

Since Iron Golem joined the team, I thought I could use this.

“I’ll take this.”

“…It’s unexpected.”

I smiled at Cheon Seol-ah, who looked puzzled, and called Wang Gu-ho and Jang Young-shin to talk.

“You guys listen carefully. From now on, your role will become very important.”

Because that’s how I feel comfortable.

Kung! Kkkkkkkkkkk!

The first monster we encountered was a flame dog.

Flame dogs, which are the size of large dogs and emit flames from their entire bodies, were more annoying because they moved around in packs.

Kkkkkkkkkkkk!

A pack of flame dogs discovered us and came running towards us, barking furiously.

The number is about 20.

It was a perfect number for first shooting practice.

Let’s start by gathering some targets.

“Wang Guho!”

Before I could shout, Wang Guho was running forward.

Deukdeukdeuk!

Wang Guho, whose entire body was turned into rock, stomped his feet loudly and provoked a group of flame wild dogs.

Qua-ang!

“Dum…p…la…ah!”

Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!

A pack of flame wild dogs rushed towards them, barking fiercely. Soon, Wangguho was surrounded and attacked by a pack of flame dogs.

“good. “It came together just right.”

I sat roughly on top of the vehicle and pointed the gun at the place where the monsters were gathered.

What I was holding was no ordinary gun. It was

a special weapon made to deal with fire attribute monsters, and it

contained liquid nitrogen bullets.

―Pow!

The fired bullet hit the back of a wild dog.

At that moment, the bullet exploded and rapidly froze the surrounding area.

Blah blah blah!

Gaining confidence, I pulled the trigger one after another.

Pow! Pow! Pow!

Blah blah blah blah!

The liquid nitrogen bullet exploded and rapidly cooled the surrounding area. The flames on the flame dogs’ bodies went out and they froze like frozen meat.

I put away my gun and put Jang Young-shin in.

“Go and finish it.”

[…….]

The Iron Golem rushed at the group of half-frozen and weakened flame dogs and swung its huge fist, smashing and crushing the frozen enemies.

Pow! Burbubbubbuk!

It only took a few minutes for the nearly twenty wild dogs to be cleared away.

I grinned as I reloaded the bullets.

“The world is comfortable.”

Wang Guho gathers the monsters in one place, I shoot them to freeze and weaken them, and the Iron Golem rushes in and destroys the enemies.

That was enough.

Best of all, I can just sit on the car and lift my fingers.

Pow! Pow! Bubble bubbling!

Even when other monsters appeared after the Flame Dog, the battle unfolded in the same way.

Of course, I am also human, so my aim sometimes goes astray.

-Pow!

“Shh… car… go… wow…!”

Wang Guho, who had been hit in the back, began to tremble.

I said to Wang Guho, who looked back at me with an aggrieved look on his face.

“What are you looking at, man? “Stop acting harshly and start fighting.”

“You…are…doing….”

What are you doing too much? You knew that would happen, so you put on cold weather tights in advance.

Thanks to the Iron Golem joining us, we moved forward faster than I expected.

Then

“…haa.”

The little boy who was sitting next to me and shooting with me – thanks to which there was a lot of frost on Wang Gu-ho’s back – sighed heavily.

“Why is something so small a sigh?”

The little boy looked sullen the whole time he came here.

I felt good for a moment when I ate ice cream, but that didn’t last long.

“It’s not working….”

“What’s not working?

Grumble!

The flame that bloomed next to the little boy’s face flew towards the fire centipede who was fighting Wang Guho in front of him.

-Phew!

As the explosion died down, the flame centipede was seen with almost no damage.

The little boy said with a more gloomy expression.

“It doesn’t work…”

I said something and that was it.

I said it was no big deal.

“Of course it doesn’t work. “You have nothing to do today, so just stay quiet.”

At that moment, the little boy looked back at me with a very shocked face.

“I’m useless now…?”

I suppressed the laughter that was about to escape and nodded very seriously.

“hmm. I guess so. If you eat too much, don’t listen well, and don’t even communicate with the flame…” ”

…….”

I think it was when I was about five years old. My father said, ‘You are not my son.’ He once lied with a serious face.

I wondered if the little boy’s expression now would be similar to my expression back then.

I thought that if I played with him any longer, he would start crying, so I ruffled his hair and said,

“But are you still useful?”

“…don’t do it!”

The little boy slapped my hand away and turned his head.

And then I let out a small sigh of relief.

I chuckled and looked straight ahead again. A lava lake was visible not far away.

As long as I passed that lava lake safely, there were no major obstacles to get to where the fire giant was.

“…But that’s where the problem lies.”

After a while, we arrived in front of the lava lake.

The lava lake was literally a place where lava pooled like a lake.

To get to your destination, you had to circle around and pass by.

The problem is that at that moment, a monster will come out from within and attack us.

I looked back and said.

“Medical team. “Can you please give me one monster corpse?”

The support team brought with them a carcass of a flame dog that they had brought with them. I threw it with all my might towards the lava lake.

Whi-profit-!

The flame wild dog flew in a parabola.

By the time it flew all the way to the center of the lake,

it was phuwaaaaaaaa!

Lava splashed in all directions, revealing something.

It was a huge snake, measuring 20 meters from head to tail.

Thump! seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

The snake swallowed the flame dog in the air and went back into the lake.

with a plop-!

The lava sprang up in all directions again, but quickly calmed down.

“…there it is, as expected.”

When I looked back, the leaders gathered in one place were looking at me with blank expressions.

“manager. “I just said that…”

I nodded.

“If I had just passed by without checking, it would have been a big problem, right? “I have to catch that thing first…”

No matter how much fire-proof clothing you wore, going into lava and fighting was crazy.

However, there is no long-distance attack method that can effectively hit the guy in the lake.

Of course there was a way.

I pretended to think for a moment and then suggested a solution.

“Equipment team. “Can you make a big fishing rod?”

“yes? …Surely that snake?”

Cheon Seol-ah, who took a moment to understand what I said, opened her eyes wide.

I nodded and said.

“You only need to use it once.”

Cheon Seol-ah thought for a moment and nodded.

“I think it’s possible.”

“Then please make it as quickly as possible.”

I turned my head and looked at Wang Guho and Jang Youngshin.

“You guys…”

Just as important as the fishing rod was the bait. A bait that is large enough to make the snake drool and strong enough to withstand a harpoon stuck in the roof of the snake’s mouth.

As it was an important role, I decided to give both of them equal opportunities.

“You two play rock, paper, scissors.”

““…….””

After a while, the two stood facing each other like western gunmen.

“Uh…ah…ah…ah…ah-!”

In the end, Wang Guho screamed and flew into the lake.

It seems that the god of misfortune loves Wang Guho.

Still, I guess it’ll be okay since they put fire-retardant armor on top of my petrified body.

The moment Wangguho flew to the center of the lake, a monster snake jumped out from the center of the lava lake.

Fuwaaaaaaaaaa!

The monster snake sprang up with lava splashing in all directions, opened its mouth wide, and swallowed Wang Guho.

Hot!

At the same time, I shouted.

“Pull it!”

Three guild vehicles connected to the fishing rod stepped on the accelerator at the same time.

-Booaaaaaaaa!

-Booaaaaaaaa!

-Booaaaaaaaa!

At the same time, the Iron Golem, which had thrown away the Giant T-Rex, used its monstrous strength to pull the fishing rod.

In an instant, the fishing rod became taut. A giant snake began to cut through the lava lake and be dragged out.

Kiyaaaaa-!!

The giant snake screamed and writhed. Soon the fishing line became so taut that it seemed like it would break, and the wheel continued to spin in place, emitting a burnt smell.

It was Wang Gu-ho who broke the balance of the tense tug-of-war.

“Uh…ah…ah…!”

Phew!

The harpoon protruded through the roof of the snake’s mouth.

Kiyaaaaa!

At that moment, the giant snake writhed in pain and the balance of power completely collapsed.

“Pull it!”

The little boy and I joined in and pulled the fishing rod.

The giant snake was dragged further and further out of the lava lake.

And in the end,

Qua-Aaaaang!

A monster snake was dragged to the ground and rolled around, changing the surrounding terrain.

I shouted as I quickly cut the fishing line.

“Stay behind all vehicles and ensure a safe distance! King Guho! Are you okay?”

Wang Guho vomited out of his mouth the moment the monster snake was dragged to the ground.

On one side, Wang Guhao stood up and spoke.

“I…I’m…okay….”

I looked a little dizzy, but I was okay.

I supported Wang Guho and stepped back for a moment.

The plan was to reorganize the battle lines and go on the attack.

Meanwhile, the monster snake came to its senses and raised its head.

Kiyaaaaa!

Now all we had to do was pull it out of the water.

The monster snake was of enormous size, and hunting it was no easy task.

I took the scimitar and stepped forward again. To my left and right stood Jang Young-shin riding the Wangguho and the Iron Golem.

“Let’s just grab that and get some rest.”

It was then that the earth suddenly shook.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!

The ground shook so much that it was difficult to even stand properly.

The lava lake boiled over, rocks collapsed, and landslides occurred.

And the air started to get so hot that it was difficult to breathe.

“This can’t be right….”

I raised my head and looked at the top of the volcano.

A huge being crawled out from inside the volcano and was walking towards us, dripping lava.

thud! thud! Thump! Thump!

Every time I took a step, the earth shook.

I couldn’t even tell from here how big or how heavy it was.

“…….”

It seems that the commotion we caused woke up the fire giant.
