Chapter 61

9. This Isn't It...

...Random? What kind of drawing game is this? As I stared at the system window in disbelief, and a trident thrown by a monster passed right next to my ear. Damn it, I thought I should do something first. As soon as I made up my mind another system window popped up.

[Do you wish to perform a random summon?]

[Yes/No]

[Remaining Count: 3]

Somehow, it feels like it's urging me to choose again, and it's making me uneasy, but I can't help it. I continued firing my gun while shouting at the system window.

“Yes!”

[Performing random summons.]

Blue light began to gather around me, accompanied by an emotionless system voice. I felt like I was playing some kind of hero-drawing game. If I had to choose, I want Eden or the Valkyrie members to come out. Kang Soo-hyun is still young and he is not fit for combat because he is a detector.

It's a 1/5 chance. Even if I was unlucky, would I really summon Kang Soo-hyun with a 1/5 chance? Maybe it's the effect of summoning, but monsters don't approach me easily. I looked at the blue magic circle with its intricate patterns with half nervousness and half anticipation. Gradually, the blue light faded, and a figure appeared.

"Oh? Hyung!"

“...”

What's wrong with my luck?

Kang Soo-hyun, who was looking around with a puzzled face, saw me and opened his eyes wide. Then he closed his eyes and smiled.

"Haa..."

“Why are you here alone? I was worried."

"That's..."

I wanted to tell him we were in Area 4, but it wasn't the right time. As the magic circle summoning Kang Soo-hyun disappeared, the monster horde once again charged towards us like a herd.

"Watch out!"

"...!"

As if it was a welcome greeting, a huge trident flew towards Kang Soo-hyun. Kang Soo-hyun, who dodged easily, looked around and glanced at me.

"Don't tell me this place..."

"Get behind me first!"

If this continues, Kang Soo-hyun and I will both die. But somehow I have to buy time. So I pulled Kang Soo-hyun, but he didn't budge.

"Hey, the situation right now...!”

"It's all right."

Kang Soo-hyun, who spoke in a relaxed tone despite the dangerous situation, raised his hand. Then he stretched out his hand towards the monsters swarming the narrow passage.

[Stop]

"...!"

[You have been afflicted with a status ailment.]

After hearing a voice that seemed to shake my head, I couldn't move my body, and neither could the monsters that attacked us. When I managed to move my eyes to look at Kang Soo-hyun, he gave me a confused look.Visjt novelbin(.)com for new updates

"Eh, why did hyung get affected too?"

"...!"

I opened my mouth to shout, but my voice didn't come out.

Party, form a party and use your skill. You idiot!

Kang Soo-hyun and I weren't at the same party in this dungeon raid. That's why the area-of-effect (AoE) skill affected me as well.

I was knocked back by the great firepower. I gritted my teeth and endured as the flames pouring from my gun engulfed the monsters. Ah, indeed, it was a fire-attribute weapon. Even though the weapon grade increases, I feel that it might not be enough to defeat elite monsters.

However, just then, a bright blue electric current started flowing with a crackling sound between the monsters fired by the gun. My eyes widened at the sight of it.

"What is it?"

Spark, spark.

"Keuaaa!"

"Keuoo!"

The blue electric current spread quickly, reminiscent of the lightning skill Hae Song-yeon used against the Murlocs in Area 1.

"Ugh!"

I stopped firing and retreated further back with Kang Soo-hyun. There was a pungent smell from the monsters being burnt by electricity.

I checked the weapon information to see what happened. And I found short sentences with additional descriptions.

[Additional Effect: A-grade Lightning Magic]

"Oh..."

It was a weapon with lightning magic as an additional option. The weapon grade might have been lower before, but my Golden Hand passive skill seems to have upgraded the weapon grade by adding this additional effect.

I wiped out all the monsters that flowed into the aisle and looked ahead. I called Kang Yoo-hyun, who was standing in front of the passage entrance.

"Hey, Kang Yoo-hyun!"

"...?"

Kang Yoo-hyun, who was swinging his sword with ferocious momentum, turned his head. The monsters that were rushing towards him seemed to have diminished.

“Leave this place to us, you quickly go take down the mid-boss"

“...”

“Only then can we re-group with the rest of the team members!"

If we continue on like this, there seems to be no end in sight. The area surrounding the mid-boss of the 4th Area, ‘Akaros,' was filled with numerous elite monsters. So, it's not an area that just the three of us can easily conquer.

In the original work, even Kang Yoo-hyun and Sung Yoo-bin had a hard time dealing with the current situation with just the two of them. Sung Yoo-bin, with her exceptional firepower, would attract the aggro of elite monsters to buy time, while Kang Yoo-hyun descended alone into the deep sea and defeated Akaros and cleared it. Looks like we have no choice but to follow the same strategy this time as well.

"Hurry up!"

"...I understand."

The main character seemed to have the same thoughts as me, so he quickly grasped the situation and nodded his head. His gaze briefly shifted towards Kang Soo-hyun, making me wonder if he was worried about his little brother? I'm also a little worried whether I can protect Kang Soo-hyun well. I tried to open my mouth and say something, but Kang Yoo-hyun immediately turned around coldly.

"Oh, wait, skill..."

"I don't need it."

"I, I..."

I tried to catch Kang Yoo-hyun because I belatedly remembered my Catnip skill, but he just said something rude and went straight into the water.

What if the mid-boss monster turned into an SS-rank like the Draugr King!

As soon as I let out a frustrated sigh, the monsters once again surged forward in a horde. Kang Soo-hyun used his skill again.

[Stop]

Meanwhile, I quickly reloaded my firearm. My firearm-like weapon must be reloaded with magazines just like regular guns. Of course, it is different from real bullets. Ammunition in this magazine is different from regular bullets. Instead of bullets, they contained various elemental magic imbued by skilled hunters. As a result, each magazine was precious, but that was to be expected from the Odin's Guild. There was a large pile of bullets with attribute magic in my inventory.

"All right."

Immediately, I started firing again.
