chapter 36
36 – The dungeon exam goes strangely (2)
‘…… That one?’
Siwoon’s body froze on the spot.
Before him,
Something stood on his feet, his head dropped and his eyes closed.
With a sword engraved with an ancient language behind his back,
He was tall enough to be two meters tall.
It was rotten with all the skin on its face peeling off.
‘Looks like a soldier who lived in ancient times?’
Siwoon saw that and thought of an ancient soldier.
In ancient times, it was full of seething monsters and monsters.
It is said that they endlessly slaughtered humans, and they constantly trained and ate humans to survive.
So, in the ancient times of the other world, all men had the appearance of giants.
“……….”
The giant neither spoke nor moved.
“Aren’t you dead?”
A hunter approached the giant.
“Don’t approach me!”
When the aide-de-camp shouted in astonishment…
The giant’s sword was already moving.
“Quaaagh!”
“Kyaa, kyaaak!”
The screams of the hunters echoed.
The head of the approaching Hunter fell to the ground as it was, and his headless body trembled as it spurted blood and thumped! Fell to the floor
“Aagh!”
In an instant, it became a mess.
The hunters were frightened and backed away.
Thump!
Thump!
The giant grabbed the sword back and returned to where he was standing.
Then he closed his eyes on the spot.
“Sah, a person died… dead!!”
Taesik shouted as he looked at the desperate hunter’s corpse.
The eyes of the hunters were focused on the assistant.
“Jo, assistant manager… “
“Um, what is that? How could there be such a thing in an exploratory test?”
“Tell me!”
“……….”
Under the eyes of the hunters, the assistant was trembling with his mouth open.
“Aides sir!”
Soon is approaching.
“Something is wrong, right?”
“Ah, ah…… I think I came to the wrong dungeon.”
All the hunters froze at the assistant’s trembling voice.
And her next word was enough to shatter everyone’s hopes.
“Mi, I’m sorry. I… What can I do about that giant… ….”
The assistant said with difficulty as her face lost her will.
She seemed to know too.
The identity of that giant.
‘What can’t the assistant do? So you’re saying we’re all going to the other world here?’
‘Wrong dungeon…… ?’
‘Then, will my youth end here?’
‘How did I become a Hunter! If we die here, who pays for Taejeong and Sangeun’s college tuition….’
‘Oh, Dad… …. Mom… ….’
‘I thought I would be able to live on my shoulders by paying off the loan by getting a loan and preparing my own private house… ….’
“Look over there!”
Hunters’ eyes moved at the hunter’s self-talk.
A red magic circle spread around the giant whose eyes were closed.
And that magic circle grew little by little.
Deeded!
From behind, the roar of the wall was getting louder and louder.
The front is guarded by a killer-like giant, and a huge wall pushes back.
If it stayed like this, everyone would become a ratpo, or be cut to pieces by the giant’s sword, or one of the two.
“Assistant.”
The assistant, who was sitting down and had a face that had lost the world, slowly raised his head.
She was standing and she was looking down at herself.
“You know about that giant, right?”
“Oh, I know….”
“Tell me then.”
The assistant was trying to open his mouth with his chin shaking.
“That giant is Zach, the corps commander of the army Ledin led….”
Yeonhee interrupted.
She is interested in other world history, so she knew other world histories that were not on the Hunter Qualification Exam.
‘Reddin? The swordsman of the kingdom of Balkas?’
Siwoon’s eyes shone.
Because he also studied history, he knew the person named Redin.
He treated the sword like a ghost and was passed down as the sword god, and he was a person who protected the world and disappeared.
Yeonhee continued.
“History says that Jacques was originally a good person…. Histories say that he lived to defend his kingdom, and his end was killed by the forbidden magic of a black mage. When he sobbed before closing his eyes, he cried so much that it is said that the continents shook…….”
After Yeon-hee finished her words, she looked at the giant with pity.
“…… Maybe there is a way.”
Yeonhee stood up and slowly approached the giant.
“Stop!”
“Then it becomes a corpse!”
Some hunters shouted.
On the other hand, the other hunters didn’t stop her when she said that there would be a way for her.
Perhaps this was my expectation.
Yeon-hee approached the giant.
“You are a good-natured person… …. Was it really hard for you to die an unfair death and say goodbye to the world?”
In an instant, the giant opened his closed eyes.
“I read you in a history book… ….”
Yeonhee slowly reached out to the giant’s shoulder.
“I know how you feel, I will comfort you… ….”
Boom!
Immediately, Siwoon threw himself at Yeonhee.
“Ah!”
Yeonhee, entangled on the floor with Siwoon, groaned.
On the other hand, the giant’s sword that missed Yeon-hee was stuck in the ground.
Thump! Thud!
The giant approached Siwoon.
‘Damn it!’
Siwoon’s body froze.
Intuitively, he knew that he would not even be able to compete with this giant.
‘The sword is flying!’
Siwoon closed his eyes.
Suck.
I heard the touch of a blade on the nape of his neck.
‘……… ?’
Siwoon slowly opened his eyes.
The giant stopped throwing his sword at Siwoon and stood there.
The sword stopped at Siwoon’s neck and trembled faintly.
Wheein.
‘I’m crying…. A giant.’
I could not read the intentions of non-humans through body signals, but I could instinctively know them.
The giant was crying.
Thump!
Thump!
Then the giant turned his back and returned to his place.
“The giant has stopped attacking!”
“What just happened?”
The hunters whispered.
Yeonhee looked up at Siwoon who was holding her in her arms.
“Go, thank you…. I am alive thanks to you.”
“Don’t approach me recklessly without a clear method.”
“Okay….”
Yeonhee’s cheeks turned red.
Siwoon grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her up.
Siwoon thought.
‘Why did the giant stop attacking? Why is it only for me and not for anyone else?’
It was strange.
From the dead giant being here…
The cry of a giant aiming a sword at Siwoon…
And the action of the giant who suddenly stopped attacking…
It was then.
Deeded!
In the back, the wall reached a distance where the hunters could see it.
“I finally figured out a way! If you touch that giant’s shoulder, the sword will stop.”
One of the hunters jumped up and said.
Then he trudged in front of the giant.
With his confident eyes, he reaches for the giant’s shoulder.
“Kwaaah!”
Hunter’s arm separated from his shoulder and fell to the ground.
“Kuuu!!”
The moment he tried to stop the bleeding by holding the flesh of his severed arm with his other hand.
The giant’s sword moved once more.
“aaagh!”
“Keah!”
Hunters covered their ears and shouted at the horrific sight.
The body of the approaching Hunter lay flat on the floor, cut in half. The floor was smeared with flowing blood.
It was terrible.
“Hey, assistant!”
Taesik approached the assistant with a huff.
“If you are an aide responsible for the safety of the hunters, do something! You are the strongest here!”
“Mi, I’m sorry… ….”
Slap!
“Ah.”
The assistant caressed his reddened cheeks from Taesik’s touch. Her glasses flew off and fell to the ground.
Taesik looked at the assistant.
“You. I will file a complaint. Does it make sense that the dungeon exploration test put us in a dungeon like this? I’m going to put you in jail without your consent. Okay?”
“……… It’s black.”
The assistant sobbed as he covered his face with his hands.
“Sue, accusation, and that was the story when I went out here, man!”
Other hunters shouted.
And then the hunter pounded the ground with his fist and sobbed.
“Oh! If I had known this was going to happen, I wouldn’t have become a Hunter, I’ve only been studying and losing my hair, and then I’m going to hold a memorial service, Aigoo!!”
Deuddeudeuk!
“Aww. Rice, the wall….”
One of the hunters shouted.
At some point, the wall that was pushing up reached the Hunter’s back as he shouted.
Deuddeudeuk!
And with the force of the pushing wall, Hunter was approaching the giant.
“What do you do with this wall!”
The hunter turned his body and pushed hard against the wall.
The male hunters followed and reached out to the wall.
“aaa!”
No matter how hard the hunters tried, the wall just moved.
“f*ck! You can’t die here.”
Tae-sik also shouted, pushing the wall with all her strength.
Siwoon looked around her in a tense situation.
‘There must be a strategy to get out of this dungeon.’
Sweep the giant’s head and toes, and then…… I looked around.
“Ugh, ugh! Oh, no.”
“Try to touch that giant!”
The hunters pushed against the wall shouted.
‘There is no time. There must be a strategy for this dungeon, but….’
There must be a way to attack the dungeon.
Finding a hidden button on the floor and luring a giant into it, or discovering a device. Like killing that giant in a strange way.
In novels and movies, the main character uses such wit to get out of a crisis. However, this is not a fantasy novel.
It’s a reality.
‘In that case.’
Siwoon’s eyes were on the corpse that had been slashed by the giant’s sword.
Blood drips from between his ribs from the dismembered corpse.
‘I can’t die like that.’
I remembered Plan B.
Siwoon clenched his fists and went towards the wall.
“Get out of the way everyone!”
Siwoon shouted with strength on his wool stick.
“……… ?”
“Rain, Vicky? Even if we put all our strength together to block the wall, it wouldn’t be enough!”
The hunters stared at Siwoon without thinking of getting out of the way.
“I have an idea.”
Kacan!
Siwoon threw the sword he was holding onto the ground.
“Stop the bullsh*t!”
“Is there anyone who has found a way, considering that there is a way?”
That’s right.
Two hunters who thought of ways to do it all on their own.
But one almost died, and the other was turned into a corpse right in front of me.
It was then.
“Everyone… …. There is no time. Please follow the words of that hunter named Siwoon Lee.”
Yeonhee interrupted.
Then,
“Shut up!”
“I don’t want to die, shut up!”
Hunters seemed unwilling to fall off the wall.
Whew, after letting out a sigh, Yeon-hee continued her conversation calmly.
“There is no other way, right? We cannot block this wall with our own strength. Trust that Hunter for once. That person got a perfect score on the Hunter Qualification Test.”
The expressions of the hunters changed instantly.
Hunters were also aware of Siwoon’s perfect score.
‘He must be a smart guy.’
‘I know he’s a strange guy who passed with a perfect score, but there’s no way he has another idea.’
‘We’re all going to die here….’
Yeon-hee, who saw the hunters struggling even though they couldn’t take their hands off the wall,
“That person must have a different brain structure than ours, so maybe the method he came up with can work. Trust us, we……. You can’t die here, can you?”
Yeonhee’s words bent. Had started to cry.
The hunters’ eyes moved to Siwoon.
“…… Is there really a way? You?”
“Are you sure?”
The hunters asked. Because the situation was the situation, I didn’t even think about attaching a respectful word.
Siwoon nodded his head.
“First of all, get away from me as much as possible.”
Hunters were worried.
“Come on! There is no time.”
The Hunters flinched at Siwoon’s shouting and removed their hands from the wall and moved to the opposite side of Siwoon.
And I watched Siwoon.
Siwoon clenched his right fist.
Boom!
“What, what are you doing?”
“Why are you punching the wall? Is that the way you came up with?”
“You crazy bastard!”
“I am an idiot for expecting that. Hey.”
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Dust fell from the ceiling of the dungeon due to the impact.
By the way.
“Bye, the wall is starting to crack.”
One of the hunters shouted.
The hunters’ crumpled impressions began to straighten out.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Siwoon’s right fist bone throbbed.
“Aha!”
With the sound of Siwoon’s spirit.
Kwaji Jijik!
The cracks that spread around the wall cracked, and some parts began to break.
The wall was demolished and a space was created on the other side of the wall for one person to pass through.
“Rice, the wall…… Is it pierced?”
“How to punch that solid wall?”
Shiwoon sent a hand signal to come here.
“I don’t have time! The walls keep moving. Come on everyone, come here.”
Tata-tat!
From the frustrated Hunter…
The Hunter who watched Siwoon’s actions…
And all the aides who had buried their heads and cried ran.
Deuddeudeuk!
Siwoon grabbed and led the hunters one by one through the hole in the wall.
***
“Did you save your life?”
“Phew, I lived….”
The hunters all moved to the space behind the wall.
The wall they were pushing with all their might was still moving forward with only the left side of the wall where Siwoon was punching him.
“Yeah, but… Aren’t dungeons cleared only when the boss dies?”
“Right. If that’s the case, you won’t die from being crushed by a wall, but you’ll starve to death here.”
“They say you can’t get out of a dungeon unless it’s cleared.”
The relieved Hunters said with anxiety.
Siwoon grinned.
Then he pointed to the wall.
“Look at that wall.”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on the moving wall.
“Ser, no way….”
Taesik was surprised and monologued.
Siwoon nods his head to Taeshik and sends a gesture that says he is right.
Taesik opened his mouth with a surprised face.
“That wall is moving towards the giant! And that wall will soon crush the giant’s torso. This guy is really great.”
Taesik admired it.
Siwoon implemented a way to do both avoiding the wall and killing the giant at the same time with an instantaneous wit.
The method is Plan B, an expedient method that is different from the formal attack.
Sometimes the ignorant method works.
The assistant manager ran to Siwoon with his big breasts bobbing.
“The hand… are you okay?”
Siwoon shook his head.
“I think it will fracture.”
Siwoon raised the corners of his mouth and spoke innocently.
“Heel.”
As the assistant guarded Siwoon’s hand, a soft green aura wrapped around Siwoon’s hand.
Deuddeudeuk!
At some point, the wall was moving forward with great force, reaching the giant’s toes.
All the hunters look at the moving wall with nervous hearts.
“Siwoon.”
Yeonhee called Siwoon with worried eyes.
Siwoon looked at Yeonhee who was calling him.
Yeonhee’s face was full of anxiety.
She opened her mouth cautiously.
“But… What if that giant moves and comes out through the passage we came out of?”
