Episode 31
Whoosh.
Was the expression ‘the wall falling down’ this intuitive?
As the second dungeon began, the wall on the floor, the ‘ground’, completely collapsed.
“Aaaah!!”
“Wow!!”
Hunters, including me, fall helplessly.
Knights with strong bodies will be fine, but espers will have their entire bodies crushed.
You have to decide.
Should I show my true abilities to the guild members here?
I had several thoughts for a split second, but I soon made up my mind.
Anyway, if I don’t unlock all my abilities, everyone will die here.
Pot-
In the midst of my endless descent, I kicked off the remains of the rocky floor and flew towards Lee Ye-chan.
The guy closed his eyes tightly and was shaking his arms and legs.
“Aaaah!”
“Stay still!”
I grabbed Lee Ye-chan’s waist with my left hand.
Although this was not an easy situation, Lee Ye-chan was firmly anchored by the strong grip of a ‘D’ ranker.
“Ahh!!”
Of course, the person involved will have to feel the pain of having their back crushed, but it is better than dying.
Pot.
He barely turns around, kicks away another boulder, and leaps towards a nearby female esper.
Even though ‘Solo’ is also ‘Solo’, I can feel that my movements have become lighter.
I feel like repeating Mr. Oh Ji-ho’s video for two weeks definitely helped.
Combat movements are movements, but I felt like I was starting to understand the meaning of ‘using the body’.
Wow.
“Sigh!!”
The female esper could not even scream as her slender body was grabbed so tightly.
I feel like my ribs are broken because I feel a ‘popping’ sensation at my fingertips.
At the same time, a new floor appeared below.
“f*ck… … !!”
I gritted my teeth, held both arms, and rotated my torso.
bang!!!
Even though I focused all the black ether on my back, I felt a tremendous pain.
The pain is so severe that it reminds me of the time before awakening.
My head feels dizzy.
“Everyone okay?! no… … !!”
Hunter Choi In-ho, the leader of the team, looks around and is surprised.
You can probably guess the situation just by looking at their lying posture.
“Hunter Cheon Hae-seon!!”
Choi In-ho comes running to me every month to check on my condition.
There may be minor injuries to others, but it won’t be as much damage as the damage I did, having taken on the weight of two people by myself.
“I am… … it’s okay.”
I stopped Choi In-ho with one hand and placed the other hand on the female esper’s waist.
Shall… … .
“Hmm… … .”
Fortunately, the damage to the bones was not severe.
While treating Esper, the pain in his back was gradually subsiding.
“It’s possible to heal yourself while healing others… … .”
Choi In-ho muttered to himself as if this was his first time seeing something like this.
“What about the others?”
“ah… … . Except for these two people, they are all knights, so it’s okay. I thought he was seriously injured, but Hunter Cheon Hae-seon was like this… … .”
Choi In-ho was so overcome with emotion that he could not speak.
Not only did he throw his body to save the esper, but he also thought about the safety of other hunters.
Judging from his overwhelmed face, he seems to think that way.
I meant to check how much power was lost, but I guess I misunderstood.
I looked around, leaving Choi In-ho’s bright eyes behind.
In fact, there doesn’t seem to be any major damage to hunters.
Since they are made up of high-ranked hunters, they seem to be able to withstand this level of shock.
Well, in fact, I couldn’t withstand it even with my strong body that was at the ‘D’ rank level.
“Hunter!! “I will never forget this grace until I die!!”
Upon hearing the situation, Lee Ye-chan repeatedly bows and greets me.
Not only Lee Ye-chan, but also the female hunter who rescued him and other guild members expressed their gratitude.
On the one hand, he looks very curious.
Although I’m an ‘S’ ranker, my type is a healer.
Aren’t espers and healers alike weak in body?
But while the healer is falling, he saves another esper and carries the load.

Even looking at it objectively, it was clear that it was strange.
But I had no desire to explain.
Because the real crisis started now.
“How far have you fallen?”
“I thought I had experienced all the hardships, but this is my first time experiencing the ground collapsing… … .”
Guild members shake their heads and look overhead.
The blue sky spread out, ignoring the fact that the ground had collapsed.
The sky under the earth.
It’s amazing.
“Uh… … .”
And then, dark spots begin to appear in the bitterly blue sky.
“What is that?”
A few turned into dozens, and dozens turned into hundreds.
Choi In-ho gritted his teeth at the sight of them appearing in a swarm like a swarm of bees.
“Harpy… … !!”
harpy.
That’s a name I’ve heard before somewhere.
As I watched hundreds of birds flying from afar, I called out to V1.
<Happy / type – normal, physical, flying type / kill difficulty 4 stars (★★★★) / physical level ‘B’ / other level ‘B’>
Even though it is not a poison monster, the reason its guitar level is ‘B’ is probably because it is a flying type.
The head and body resemble a human, but it is a monster with wings and claws.
Should I say it’s like a second dungeon?
The difficulty of defeating the mobs that were flocking was not normal.
There were four ‘B’ rank knights in the group, but a gloomy shadow was cast on everyone’s faces.
This is because the knights do not have the means to subdue the monsters floating in the sky.
You can only counterattack when they come down to attack, which means the right to attack lies entirely with the Harpies.
The types that can attack first here are two espers.
‘B’ rank female Esper and ‘C’ rank Lee Ye-chan are the only ones.
Above all, the number of hundreds of birds covering the sky makes you click your tongue.
“How do you catch all that?”
“manager. What should we do?”
“calm down! First, get in line!”
Although the situation was not good, Choi In-ho led his team like a leader.
A tanker-type knight stands at the front, and knights on the left and right form an arrowhead shape.
And the two Espers and I settled in there.
This is a formation that protects espers and healers from the claws of the harpies and fights back.
‘It’s effective. but… … .’
“come!!”
Wedge.
Harpies basically do not howl.
All you can hear is the heart-chilling sound of the wave as it descends to cut up its prey.
The harpies create a large wave and attack this area in droves.
Kagang!!
Kang!!
The tankers’ shields and the knights’ combat devices collide with the harpy’s claws.
bang!!
A telekinetic power that is closer to explosives than flames surrounds them, and Lee Ye-chan fires lightning as quickly as possible.
Pajik!
And I healed my teammates in real time until the Harpy’s attack ended.
Kang!! Kang!!
“… … !!”
The attack that felt like an eternity was over.
There are dozens of harpy corpses scattered around.
Although there are minor injuries, the damage here is zero.
It was a moment when Choi In-ho’s leadership shined.
“good. Let’s keep reducing the number of harpies like this!”
Choi In-ho seems to have gained confidence and encourages his teammates.
however,
Flap flap.
The harpies that were gathered in a ball-like group began to spread out.
True to its nickname ‘cunning wings’, it sought the optimal way to hunt us.
A round band floating in the sky.
They formed a large circle above us.
“this… … !!”
The triangular arrowhead formation shows the highest efficiency when attacking from the front.
But what if attacks come from all directions like this?
“Change formation!”
Choi In-ho, as if sensing a crisis, deploys knights in all directions.
Wedge.
This time, it wasn’t just a passing wave.
The cunning harpies pushed back those who had finished their attack and swung their claws while taking turns sending in the lively ones.
“Ugh!!”
The arm of a knight who had been fighting became tattered.
I tried to lift the shield with my free hand, but at first glance, it seemed difficult to hold on for long.
If things continue like this, the formation will collapse in an instant.
“Everyone get down!”
As the ‘B’ rank female esper shouted angrily, the knights quickly fell to the ground.
I also stopped healing and quickly lowered my upper body.
“Mine explosion!”
Kwagwagwagwang!!
A roar explodes above your head.
At the same time, dozens of harpies surrounding the area turn into roasted sparrows and melt away.
The harpies, surprised by the power, instantly jumped into the sky, and the smell of explosives was all around them.
‘This is the power of B-Rank Esper.’
A senior esper who saved the team by blowing up the surrounding space.
It was an unbelievable amount of killing power that could have been accomplished by just one person.
however,
Grumble.
Unfortunately, the price was also certain.
“Come over here.”
It seems that there was a big reaction because the ability was applied to the entire surrounding area rather than a local area.
The female esper collapsed towards me, her nose bleeding.
“Damn… … . “Is today my memorial day?”
Knight, who has just finished healing his arm, curses.
The other hunters didn’t say anything either, but they seemed to be mentally preparing themselves.
The crisis was briefly overcome thanks to the B-ranker’s hard work, but there were still more than a hundred harpies flapping their wings in the sky.
If they attacked in the same way, there was no way to stop them.
After infusing healing power into the female esper’s body, I laid her down and stood up.
And slowly, he walked outside the group.
“Hunter Cheon Hae-seon?”
Choi In-ho looks at me with puzzled eyes.
By any chance, is he running away?
A look of disappointment passed by for a moment, but that look did not last long.
I saw the blade in my hand.
“It’s dangerous! Hunter Haeseon Cheon! “These guys can’t do anything just because they have weapons!”
I guess they think of me as a childish healer who doesn’t know anything about the world.
Just watch.
I’ll teach you how to catch those damn bastards.
Flap flap.
Their eyes are fixed on me.
The highest priority when a predator attacks its prey.
It was a completely natural phenomenon to attack someone who had strayed from the group alone.
Ugh.
Blow a lot of black ether into the hand holding Exa.
The healing power is now less than half, but the black ether is the same.
The length that used to be the size of a finger joint and would be embarrassing to call a blade has now grown to the size of a hand.
I slowly backed away to deliberately lure them away.
“Hunter Cheon Hae-seon!! Come over here!!”
As if Lee Ye-chan’s anxious cry had become a catalyst, all the harpies descended towards me.
Wedge!!
Pot.
Just as their claws were about to rip through my body, I used ‘Dogbo’ to get out.
“Cheon Hae-seon hunter niiiiing!!”
Yechan Lee seems to think I’m still there.
I’m saying you shouldn’t cry out so bitterly because you’re not dead.
I moved the new model around and lured it out.
So that it is shaped like an arrow, like the formation we stood in at the beginning.
No, to be exact, make it form a straight line.
‘I like it here.’
It was basically a plain, but there were large rocks here and there.
I moved between two relatively close rocks and hoisted Exa onto my shoulder.
Wedge.
The harpies appear to be angry at being toyed with and approach with their claws exposed.
‘Pierce as far as you can.’
I injected as much ether as I could into Exa and threw it with all my might.
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-bak!
After the first Harpy, the second, and the third.
Exa, fired with vicious force, penetrates their torsos and extends endlessly.
Ten as we move forward.
Five on the way back.
Since I caught 15 fish with one throw, is there any business left?
‘no. It’s not enough.’
This type of straight attack is excellent for ‘killing’ the opponent, but for me right now, it’s enough to slightly injure me.
This is because the toxicity of the black ether contained in the blade can cause fatal injuries with even the smallest wound.
He grabs Exa who has returned and escapes ‘alone’.
Let alone chasing me, I had to look left and right to see where they had moved.
‘Like this, by increasing the scope… … !”
The harpies flew in again in droves, and this time they spun Exa like a disc and flew it.
Sigh!
Exa returns in a big circle.
As I expected, dozens of harpies in its radius fell to the ground without even using their strength.
Even those with the slightest abrasion on their wings took less than 3 seconds for their bodies to freeze and die.
More than fifty.
With two attacks, one-third of the Harpies were annihilated.
Only then did a shadow of fear appear on the harpies’ faces.
“mind… … Nonsense.”
The hunters opened their mouths as if their jaws had fallen out as they watched me gently shake off the blood from the blade.
