53 < (5). 1st Death -3 >

Ants at the mouth of the Dungeon of Ants were similar or even weaker than the Goblins at the Goblin Camp, so Ian was better suited for practicing his skills than before.

[Giant ant has been defeated. 315 EXP gained.]

EXP is very low compared to hunting in the Northern Snow Mountain.

The level was also similar to or slightly lower than Ian's, as the basic experience level itself was low and the effects of the title 'Master of Hunting' were not seen.

However, after killing a large number of people, the hunt appears to have accumulated and accumulated, with only a few XP flowing in.

“Hehe, this is fun! ”

Ian was increasingly realizing how to use his current growth skills.

At first, I used it like an ignorant melee skill, but gradually I realized that I could use it in a way that predicts and matches the movement path of monsters.

Of course, the difficulty of the predicted attack was very high.

However, if you had to use it at a distance, you would be able to use your current proliferation skills effectively even when you encountered stronger enemies.

Ian deliberately tried to play hard until his skills were fully cooked in his body.

‘At this rate, I can get up to 99% of the EXP if I spend a couple of days here. ’

Moreover, if you used it to predict the direction in which current growth would protrude, you could hit more monsters.

It's like playing pool!

If you're lucky, you get a winter in which one sphere hits five or six as you bounce multiple times.

Ian quickly became more knowledgeable about his' current growth ’skills as a‘ gaming expert ’.

And then an hour later.

After a perfect adaptation to the hunt, the giant ants in one area rush at a rapid pace.

“Popsicle Ice Wave!! ”

After using an ice-wave, Ian's current growth flashed on it, and the giant ants that overlapped the slowing effects of the two skills slowed down like dipsticks.

Job-supporting-!

If there's even an "emotional" effect on Ian's weapon and the ice waves overlap, the giant ants' feet stay on the ground!

If you reduce the blood of giant ants by a whole area skill, Lai goes around killing one of the few remaining ants.

After experiencing a surge of electric current until the full amount of spiritual magic was consumed, after a group of hunting, all spiritual magic was restored.

“Khahaha!! ”

Ian got excited and blew up the ironworks.

“Hunting is hunting, of course! ”

It was also fun to level up against units stronger than yourself for the first time in the Northern Continent, but it seemed like such a good way to relieve stress by sweeping away the weaker monsters from the area.

‘As you level up and move beyond level 60, the effects of the title "The Master of Hunting" will be less effective. ’

You've already seen the effects of the title "Master of Hunting," which gives you more experience as you deal with enemies of higher level than yourself.

However, the higher the level, the more difficult it is to hunt monsters at a higher level, so it seems like it's time to change the way we fight.

“Khh, I only have one destruction-oriented broad-spectrum skill... ”

Even though the hunting speed was still fast enough, Ian was a little disappointed.

Electric current proliferation skills were actually not very good skills.

Skills like 'Fire Zone' used by wizards of level 50 may vary in power depending on the equipment, but they did powerful damage that was close to 2-3,000.

Compared to that, current growth only results in about half the damage, even with subsequent damage.

The current propagation skill was a more intense feeling for tying monsters' feet together with the ice waves on the cake.

‘When monsters crawl around with a stack of slowing effects, a few wide magic drops... Khh... ’

But I didn't intend to hunt with the Wizard.

‘I can't do a good job. ’

If so, you can taste monsters with destructive broad-spectrum skills.

‘Huh, what should I take? I wish I could summon Phoenix from the Heights of Flame. "

But it's a wish.

Phoenix was a formidable monster with an average level of 160 to 170.

‘One day we'll catch it. ’

While Ian hunts hard thinking like that, the giant ant on the first floor of the dungeon disappears.

“Rya, let's go upstairs. ”

Leung - Leung -

Ian strokes Lai's mane and moves toward the entrance down to the second floor below.

‘The second floor is a little more dangerous because of striped ants.... ’

Striped ants were slightly smaller and slightly weaker in combat than normal giant ants.

However, it was a more difficult monster to hunt because it had the skills to spray poison all over the area.

But Ian wasn't too worried.

Because he was a monster who had a lot of experience hunting before initialization.

Do I have to die? ’

Ian steps down the stairs as confidently as he can.

* * *

After a full day of hunting, Ian was able to gain up to 99% of his experience level.

The boss of the anthill, the queen, had already caught it on the first day and had eaten the ants like this for two days.

“Huh, 99.9% of experience now. That was some heavy lifting. ”

Ian was proud.

During the hunt, there was also a level up on the cake table, and Raido became level 51.

And I felt even better because my experience was perfectly calculated in the last wave.

“Guys, let's go back. ”

Ian starts clearing out the hunting grounds to leave the dungeon.

You collected the miscellaneous from the fallen giant ants' corpses and cleared out your inventory.

I put a lot of people on my back, and I was summoned back after the duration of the summoning.

Having achieved enough goals, I began to take a step because it was a light step.

But then.

- Plenty.

A lot of people started sneaking around Ian.

Because you found something very tasty!

It was a pile of giant ants piled up in the corner of the dungeon.

After a while, a mysterious system message appeared in Ian's vision.

[You destroyed the giant ant egg.] Increases EXP by 36]

[You destroyed the giant ant egg.] Increases EXP by 32]

“Well, what is this? ”

Ian was embarrassed.

Excited experience up to 99.9%.

“Ah…! No...!! ”

And this is a situation that should never happen if you level up.

“Wait, you can't be level up...? I don't think so... I shouldn't... ”

However, despite Ian's desperate muttering, the system message continued to ring without hesitation.

“W-where are you? Why is the EXP rising? ”

Ian, who was desperately wandering around, soon found a lot of people digging up ants' eggs.

“N-no...! Lots and lots!”

Ian's one and only scream.

Ian opens his mouth desperately.

“Summon lots of people! ”

But….

Wag wag!

Many of them swallowed the last ant's egg while it was shining white.

[You destroyed the giant ant egg.] Increases EXP by 45]

And….

A bright light spread around Ian.

[Level has been increased. You have reached level 51.]

“ …. ”

Fluffy...

Ian sat there helplessly, and Lai stared blankly at him.

And shortly after, Ian faced reality and cried out.

“Ahhhh…!! You can't do this!! ”

Ian cried.

‘Ah... I was so greedy... I should have stopped hunting at 98%... ’

However, he could not pick up the spilled water and put it in.

‘Ahh... so much... ’

I wanted to summon Lot again and beat him, but I had to wait 30 minutes to summon Lot who was summoned again.

“Ugh… ugh… ”

And actually, it was a lot of people's fault.

Ian's own actions that eventually lacked attention.

Now there was only one thing Ian could choose.

“Lai.”

Grrr?

Lai tilts her head, looking at Ian's sad eyes.

Even if you understand Ian well, you can't understand Ian's feelings right now.

“Rest a bit... ”

Ian sighs deeply and releases all the summoners.

“Phew.”

I took off all the items I was packing and put them into Juju Island inventory, except for the account bound hair ornaments.

After all, what Ian can do to level down...

It was just an extreme choice called suicide.

* * *

After finishing the shower, Jinsung muttered in a helpless voice.

“Huh, you're finally going out of the house... It's dangerous outside the capsule.... ”

It was not yet time to pay for the maintenance fee for the trail room, and there was plenty of food in the house.

However, I was surprised to get out like this.

“Hah... After initialization, the first death is suicide.... ”

An unexpected development.

I blamed a lot, but there was no reason to blame a lot.

A lot of people just wanted to eat giant ants' eggs that looked delicious!

I never told you not to eat...

“By the way, do I have to put something on my hair when I'm going to meet a girl? ”

Jinsung dug through the drawer and pulled out the wax.

A wax that I bought and used once for college interviews and stuck in the corner.

Since I had been in the salon for a long time, I had to straighten my hair at least because my hair had grown hot.

It's a minimal courtesy for a woman I've never met...

Honestly, I also had a part in liking Harin.

‘You have to look good to get dishes from Harin. ’

It looked like there was a little pint out....

Ian is roughly ready to go out.

He didn't look so ugly, so he shaved and dressed up a bit, so his brother seemed to disappear a bit.

“Shall we go out now? ”

Jinsung picked up her smartphone.

A message came from Harin.

HG: Ian, I'm on my way. I'll meet you there in front of the convenience store right behind the door!]

It's 1: 30 in the afternoon.

“Would it take you a while to sit down at the cafe after lunch with Harin? ”

Ian killed himself.) It has been less than 3 hours.

“Phew... ”

I sighed deeply.

I can't believe you still have to wait 21 more hours before you can reconnect.

Sadness poured in.

“We must overcome this ordeal. ”

Jinsung, who muttered with a serious expression, left the door and sent a message to Harin.

Jinsung: Yes, I'm leaving now. It'll take about 10 minutes.]

Jinsung walked to the meeting place and thought about what to say to Harin.
