Shelter Plunder Battle (3)
Two men strolled through the forest.
They approached the castle bearing the enemy's red flag with great caution.
“Haa. That bastard. He makes us do everything.”
“What can we do? We were the ones who signed the contract without understanding.”
The two men walked while muttering to themselves.
The man wearing the red cap was Jang Jin-ho.
The man wearing the blue cap was Jang Jun-ho.
They looked like identical twins.
“That bastard sits comfortably in the office alone, you bastard.”
“Most of the guild members have contracted with him, so what can we do? It's completely his world.”
“Exactly. Damn it, isn't this an unfair contract? How is it possible to deceive the contract terms?”
They wouldn't have done it with a normal contract.
But Hwang Min-soo's contract was special.
“Still, he gives us some compensation. Honestly, I'm satisfied.”
“Tsk. Well, I have to admit his skill in handling people.”
They grumbled but followed Hwang Min-soo's orders because the contract conditions and the rewards given were substantial.
The items he gave them strengthened them.
The information he gave them put them ahead of others.
Honestly, there was enough reason to follow even if it wasn't a contract.
“After this mission, our guild's shelters will increase to four, right?”
“Yeah. Then we'll get one of our own shelters.”
They walked while talking.
“I wonder what kind of guy Kim Min-sung is.”
“Well, he said his class is Predator, I don't know. According to Hwang Min-soo, he summons monsters.”
The name Hwang Min-soo specially mentioned.
Kim Min-sung.
“Is he really the rank 8?”
“I don't know. Is he really that guy?”
Actually, there's no exact info.
It's just Hwang Min-soo's speculation.
But since their guild was formed, it's clear that this person is someone who will interfere with them.
He was designated to be eliminated somehow.
“Even if he's rank 8, with our abilities, it won't be a problem.”
Jin-ho showed confidence.
“Of course. We're specialized in killing people, after all.”
Jun-ho nodded.
Crackle.
“Something's there. Be careful.”
A sound from behind the bushes.
Jin-ho and Jun-ho prepared for combat.
Thud. Thud,
Something approaching with heavy footsteps.
It was clearly the sound of footsteps.
“Orc? And a Bugbear?”
“Well, not much.”
The monster Orc appeared in front of them.
And next to it, the Bugbear King appeared.
Normal people would be terrified by these monsters, boasting about their fear.
But they were different.
They thought it was nothing special.
They felt at ease dealing with monsters.
They knew this level wouldn't be a match for them.
Summoned Orc has died. X5
Summoned Bugbear King has died.
'Orcs are coming from the left.'
With Red Slimes placed on the right, they could roughly predict where the enemies would approach the castle from.
“Jin-hwan. Go left.”
“Yes, Ssaem.”
They were clearly quite strong.
Because the Orcs and Bugbear King had died so suddenly, they hadn't been able to watch the screen share.
'This might be tricky.'
Even though it was Orcs, they hadn't imagined the Bugbear King dying so easily.
That meant they had to judge that the enemy's forces were at least above the Bugbear King.
First, they quickly summoned five Orcs and moved quickly to the location where the Orcs had been placed.
They moved slowly, scanning the surroundings, and saw the dead bodies of the Orcs and Bugbear King.
“Ssaem. It seems they've already gone to our shelter. Let's hurry.”
Jin-hwan saw the dead Orcs and Bugbear King and quickly headed toward the shelter to prepare to defend the flag.
Given the nature of flag capture, it was reasonable for Jin-hwan to think that way.
“Wait a minute.”
Jin-hwan stopped him with a signal and looked around the area first. They couldn't assume they had gone to the shelter without checking.
Just in case, when they were scanning the surroundings!
Whoosh!
Something flew quickly toward them.
Clang!
He immediately swung his knife to knock away the incoming object.
What fell to the ground was a needle.
He quickly looked in the direction the needle had come from.
“Oh. Not bad.”
“Yeah. Knocking this away.”
Two people slowly emerged from between the trees in the direction they were in.
It was the twins, Jin-ho and Jun-ho.
“Which one of the two is Kim Min-sung?”
“I wonder.”
They already knew about them.
'Hwang Min-soo is definitely targeting me.' It had been confirmed.
So they couldn't just stand by like this.
Kiik! Kiik!
The five Orcs charged forward first, wielding axes toward the enemies and taking the initiative.
Thud! Thud!
The Orcs swung their axes wildly at the enemies.
But the enemies dodged the Orcs' attacks with complete ease.
At the same time, needles came out from their pockets.
Shick! Shick!
The needles thrown quickly pierced the Orcs' heads precisely.
Along with that, the Orcs died immediately.
'Those guys are quite strong.'
Orcs alone wouldn't be a match for them.
But they didn't only have Orcs, did they?
'Needles are their main weapon.'
The needles precisely struck vital points.
At that speed, even Blood Clones should have been able to avoid them easily.
Blood Clone
Consumes the user's blood to create doppelgangers possessing 50% of the user's base capabilities.
Shick! Shick! Shick!
Three Blood Clones appeared.
“Whoa. What kind of ability does that guy have that has so many?”
“Yeah. I'm envious of this.”
But Jin-ho and Jun-ho showed no signs of panic.
Even though they were Blood Clones with speeds fast enough to easily dodge needles, the enemies laughed as if it were amusing.
'Come!'
Tat! Tat!
His Blood Clones each picked up their knives and rushed toward the enemies.
Shick!
A needle flew quickly toward one of the clones.
Clang.
But as expected.
This level was easily dodged, and since they could easily knock it away with a knife, it was useless.
“Hmm. So that's how it is.”
Jin-ho and Jun-ho quickly changed the weapons in their hands.
They gripped two daggers tightly and charged straight at the Blood Clones.
Slash! Slash!
Overwhelming movements.
The Blood Clones began to die as wounds appeared on their bodies from the enemies' daggers.
'I can't beat them with just the clones.' Summoning Red Slimes on the opposite side to guard would be too burdensome.
It seemed they had no choice but to face them directly.
“Jin-hwan. Buff and heal from behind, please.”
“Yes. Don't worry.”
Attack power increased by 20%. (Duration 10 minutes)
Defense power increased by 20%. (Duration 10 minutes)
At the same time, the Area Buff activated.
It applied to the remaining Blood Clones and himself.
Movement speed increased by 30%. (Duration 10 minutes)
And the blessing given only to him.
Green light enveloped him, and he felt his body become lighter.
“Kkuk. A guy who can only summon comes out to fight himself?”
Jun-ho dismissed him.
Since he had been fighting using summons all along, it was natural for him to think that way.
While Jin-ho dealt with his Blood Clones, Jun-ho slowly approached him, holding the needle in his hand.
“Hey. Can I ask you something?”
“What do you want to ask?”
“Why are you doing this in your guild?”
Killing people, plundering shelters, and growing power—Cheonhatongil.
What was the exact purpose?
“Kukaha. Do you think I need to know that since I'm going to die?”
With that, he prepared his stance.
He was about to pounce at him at any moment.
And then.
Shick!
A needle flew at high speed.
Clang.
He knocked it away with his knife.
'I have to capture them and question them.'
From their movements, they were clearly strong enemies.
They weren't even a match for Orcs.
Still, their movements were significantly slower compared to his.
It was obvious they wouldn't be a match for him.
Jun-ho ran toward him.
He took two needles from his pocket and threw them at him, limiting his movement range.
Jun-ho was clearly experienced in combat.
He knew how to fight.
But that was the problem in his eyes.
'I can't let my guard down.'
Jun-ho ran straight at him while staring at him.
And at the moment their eyes met.
Flash!
-Petrification
-Causes the stared-at target to petrify for 5 seconds.
He used the petrification ability he had obtained from Medusa.
Jun-ho, who had been staring at him precisely, froze in place without moving.
Unlike Medusa's ability, it didn't turn him completely to stone, but it stopped him from moving.
'Now, let's see if I can make him unable to move.'
He walked toward the immobilized Jun-ho while holding his knife.
He intended to stab his thigh with the knife to inflict fatal damage and prevent him from fighting back.
At that moment.
Flash.
Jun-ho's body suddenly flashed.
'What?!'
At the same time, the blue cap on the enemy's head changed to red.
'Wait! No way!'
The man wearing the red cap was Jin-ho.
Their bodies had swapped.
At the same time, the dagger Jin-ho had been holding stabbed straight forward toward him.
Shick!
He dodged quickly, but perhaps because he hadn't prepared in time from such close range.
He received a slight scratch on his shoulder.
“Kukahaha. Now you're done. There's poison on this dagger.”
With that, Jin-ho backed away, keeping distance from him.
'Poison?'
-Poison Resistance activated.
-Invalidates the poison in the body.
'Huh?'
At that moment, the special ability obtained from the Fairy activated.
Apparently, that level of poison was useless to him.
“This is too bad. It seems to be useless to me.”
“W-what! Why are you so calm? I was shocked!”
Jin-ho looked at him moving normally and panicked.
This poison was a deadly poison that affected humans far more than monsters.
Most people who received it had their skin tissue necrotize within 10 seconds and died within 1 minute.
There had never been anyone who received such poison and remained unaffected.
“Damn it! Jun-ho! Run away!”
“Got it!”
Perhaps he judged that they couldn't handle him.
Jun-ho and Jin-ho suddenly took out a scroll from their pockets.
“Where do you think you're going!”
Before the enemies could do anything, he tried to stop them, but the two who tore the scroll apart were enveloped in white light and disappeared in an instant.
“Tsk. They escaped.”
The enemies who used some kind of scroll and disappeared.
'Is it a Return Scroll?'
Those guys had all sorts of things.
Golden Keys collected while killing people.
They clearly had a lot of items coming from there.
He didn't know if they had completely left this plunder battle or returned to their own shelter, but they had successfully defended.
'What's the situation with the attack team?'
Screen sharing with the Deadly Poison Fairy.
The screen showed the scene.
The figures of Min-cheol and Kang Hyuk, who had almost reached in front of the enemy's shelter, appeared.
