3 Rounds by Myself

26 – Hidden Quest (4)

All eyes of the guards were on the man who suddenly appeared before them. To the invisible man.

“What, what? Wild boar?”

“Not a wild boar! It’s a person, it’s a person.”

“Did Hart have any subordinates still following that criminal?”

The guards stepped back for an instant and aimed their swords and shields at them.

“Gulp.”

One of the guards swallowed nervously.

The chief of security was also surprised by something strange that appeared in front of him, and gradually stepped back.

‘Sir, … It’s a hassle.’

The head of security stood back, frowned and looked back at him.

“……….”

“……….”

His men await his next order, tense faces.

‘Damn it, damn it! More than half of the troops are already….’

About half of the twenty-odd guards were either lying on the ground or had already gone to the other world wearing shoddy armor.

“Manager! What should I do?”

Sweat ran down the back of the chief of security like a snake.

“What can I do, what can I do, you bastards! You have to kill those two guys.”

Actually, the head of security also wanted to run away.

However, I couldn’t.

I have already received intelligence that Diehard’s residence is a cave in the Havana Plains, and I have been given the mission to capture or kill him.

Severe military punishment awaited those who violated the mission and escaped.

The severe punishment was life imprisonment or the death penalty.

‘I can’t back down. Even if I die, I have to die right here.’

The chief of security bit his teeth and raised his sword.

“Wizard! Archer Joe. Divide left and right, line up, prepare for support fire!”

Cheer up. Chuck.

From behind, I heard the sound of guards arranging the display.

Shuwook!

That moment.

The brown furry object moved quickly.

It was wearing a wild boar’s skin, and after a run-up, it flew this way.

It looked like a flying giant wild boar!

It was a blink of an eye.

The object was very fast.

“Come!! … Kuck!”

By the time the shield soldier in the forefront shouted in surprise, the shield soldier’s helmet and head had already been shattered by the great sword struck by the large wild boar.

***

‘For now, one guy.’

Hannom, struck by Siwoon’s greatsword, passed out with his head on the ground.

“Fire Bolt!”

Flame!

“Dead Amazing!”

“Arrow Shot!”

Shasha Shock!

From behind the guards, lights of various colors flashed, and spheres of flame, arrows, and pointed rocks were created and flew through the wind.

‘I can see it.’

To Siwoon’s eyes, the flying spheres looked like slowly flying tennis balls.

Boom!

I quickly deflected the spheres with the broad side of my greatsword.

Like a baseball batter hitting a flying baseball.

Puffer Pung!

As soon as it touched the surface of Siwoon’s Greatsword, the spheres of mana exploded on the spot like fireworks.

“Kwaaah!”

“Eww.”

The high-pitched groans of the guards continued.

Guards who were within the danger range of the exploding sphere had no choice but to receive a certain portion of the damage intact.

The view of the guards was again obscured by the rising smoke.

Shiun also had a burning pain in his chest and face.

Siwoon also had some of his life force reduced after being damaged by the sphere’s explosion.

‘It’s hot. If it wasn’t for the wild boar skin, it would have been a big deal.’

The leather clothes made of the great wild boar that Siwoon wore were very sturdy.

Thanks to the leather clothes worn inside out, the defensive power was also increased, so I was able to reduce the damage from the guards’ attacks compared to when I was wearing only a white uniform.

‘Because I wear this leather suit, my body is very light.’

In addition, the boar’s skin had an option to add agility.

So Siwoon was able to attack the guards more quickly than ever before.

It is said that Siwoon has a much higher strength stat compared to his level and is equipped with a great sword that is good for his level, but he is only equipped with beginner armor and is not wearing any accessories.

Above all, Siwoon’s level is only 10.

What if! If he hadn’t been wearing this boar skin, he would have already been turned to dust by the spheres that just exploded.

“Strike!”

A guard’s sword looked sluggish.

The sword was glowing red, and it was flying towards the nape of Shiun’s neck.

Taang!

After parrying the attack with his greatsword, Siwoon clutched the greatsword in his right hand and leaned his upper body, quickly embracing it in front of the guard.

“Ouch!”

The guard who was hit in the jaw by the greatsword that was thrown upward rose into the air.

Of course, not with the blade of the greatsword, but with the front of the wide, bladeless greatsword.

‘It’s embarrassing. I can’t kill the guards with a blade… !’

I was embarrassed.

Siwoon could not kill the guards directly with his sword. If you kill the guards belonging to the category of NPC, the crime level in the database will increase.

If that happens, he will be chased by the militia and White Gate, and will be severely punished.

If you were to face such a thing now, in the early stages of your hunter life, your hunter life would already be nothing more than a joke.

So,

I had no choice but to hit the guard with the tip of the bladeless greatsword, putting him in a dying state.

Besides,

There was another reason why Siwoon wore the mask of a wild boar.

Not only for his defensive power, but also to avoid selling his face to NPC guards.

Even if you don’t kill the guards yourself, if the fact that they took part in the mission to catch the traitor becomes known to the outside world, that too will not escape punishment.

Ta ta tak!

I heard the sound of quick footsteps.

An archer from the back came running, stepped on the wall of the cave, leapt, and was pulling a bowstring at Siwoon in the air.

He was a fairly agile archer.

“Kuh.”

A small moan escaped Siwoon’s mouth.

He dizzyedly threw his head back to avoid the arrow, but the arrow’s head swept through Siwoon’s cheek, causing blood to flow down Siwoon’s face.

Boom!

Swords of guards flying from all directions one after another!

“Huap!”

Siwoon held a greatsword in his right hand and swung it hard at the flying swords!

Taang!

“Ugh?”

“Oh, the sword bounced off!”

The swords fell helplessly from the guards’ hands.

Siwoon’s great sword attack, coupled with great muscle strength, was enough to make the sword fly out of their hands.

Moreover,

Siwoon didn’t wield the greatsword with both hands, he only wielded it with his right hand.

It was because he hadn’t noticed that his right hand’s strength was much higher than his own left hand’s.

“That guy is no ordinary guy either, manager.”

“Magic Soldiers! Treat the fallen children quickly. Hurry!”

As soon as the command of the guard chief shouted urgently, the wizards with wands in their hands quickly approached the fallen guards.

“Heel!”

Ta ta tak!

“Not like that!”

Shiun didn’t want to give it a chance, so he jumped straight ahead and slashed his greatsword down at the wizard who was healing his comrade!

Percussion!

‘Sheesh.’

From noble mtl dot com

A sword appeared in front of Siwoon’s eyes and blocked him.

It was the sword of the head of the security department that took all of Siwoon’s greatswords intact.

‘This guy called manager is definitely stronger than the others.’

In between the swords facing each other, Siwoon and the chief of security glared at each other.

The lasers emitted from each other’s eyes collided and sparked a tight fire!

Of course, Siwoon’s face was completely covered by the boar’s hide, and only Siwoon’s eyes were visible in the eyes of the chief of security.

“If you stop helping that traitor right now, I will turn a blind eye to what you have done.”

The chief of security said with burning eyes.

“A traitor?”

“I don’t know who you are or what you’re doing, but the guy you’re trying to protect is a treacherous criminal!”

“That’s funny. He is not a criminal, but a good man who was accused of being a criminal by the quality of politics of the crooks.”

The head of the guard’s treasured sword and Siun’s greatsword’s blades collided with each other, fighting a tense struggle.

Both of them were desperately giving their strength, as if they had no intention of backing down.

The direction of the blades the two collided with each other repeatedly went back and forth in the direction of each other’s faces.

“Sheesh, do you know that if you help a treasonous criminal, you will receive the same punishment, and you will be put to death?”

“I know.”

“Then, I can’t help it. Screw Dash!”

As the guard chief shouted the skill’s starter, the blade of the sword he was holding began to rotate rapidly.

His blade rotated like a whirlpool, and as the force increased, Siwoon’s greatsword bounced off as it touched. Along with that, the sword of the chief of security cut through Siwoon’s chest.

“Ahh.”

Shiwoon let out a heavy moan at the sharp pain in his chest.

In that moment, I felt that something was coming up from the heavy place in my chest!

“Keep whoop!”

Soon, a clot of blood came out of Siwoon’s mouth.

“Cool, cool!”

I just sensed that the attack had drastically reduced my vitality.

Shiwoon took a back step, widened his distance with the chief of security, and stepped back.

It was a crisis.

‘…… Others know what I can do. That manager is stronger than me. sh*t! It’s a pity that I can’t use my skills because I didn’t change jobs!’

That’s right.

No matter how good Siwoon is, he has a lot of strength compared to his level, but he hasn’t changed his job yet. Situation.

Under these conditions, dealing with that head of security was honestly a daunting task.

Seeing that the head of the guards commanded a variety of skills compared to the other guards, he seemed like he had at least a second job change.

Siwoon looked in front of him.

I saw the head of the guard holding a sword and preparing for the next attack, and after that, five guards were approaching, each aiming their own weapon. In the meantime, two guards who were casting heals, getting up and rearranging their equipment.

There were a total of 8 people Siwoon had to deal with.

‘I can’t do it alone.’

His eyes widened.

Even if you get attacked by those guards and die here, you can revive because there is a safe return scroll.

…… However.

Even if that happens,

There was a problem.

The guards will see with their own eyes how the safe return is forcibly returned through the scroll, and if that happens, the guards will notice that Siwoon is a hunter.

Then, naturally, the guards will go on an emergency patrol in the beginning city?

Siwoon is caught by them and rots in prison for plotting treason together.

That is at least 20 years.

‘If I die here, everything will be over!’

Siwoon’s life as a hunter could have ended here.

You said you wouldn’t fail this time…

The third life also ended in failure like that.

“Mr. Diethart! Are you still far from recovering? I mean, I can’t handle this alone.”

Siwoon hurriedly looked back and shouted nervously.

“……….”

Dihart just stood there, staggering and unanswering, with his scattered hair hanging down.

“Why is there an answer! I’m risking my life fighting to the bone to protect you!”

When Si-woon shouts in the face of evil,

The guards, led by the head of the security department, were already about to begin a fierce joint attack on Siwoon.

‘I have to come up with a sharp number.’

Confusion rose in my head.

At the same time, he tried to come up with a way out of this crisis, but his head was hard as a blank sheet, and nothing came to mind.

It feels as if the thinking in the brain has stopped.

‘They will attack soon. If I make a mistake this time, I could die.’

Siwoon looked at the chief of security who was closest to him.

A guy.

At some point, he finished recharging his mana and was about to unleash a new skill.

And next to it, there were two shields surrounded by a solid shield, completely blocking the chief of guard and himself, and behind them, archers and guards with magic skills completed mana recovery, wands and bows. He was aiming at Siwoon.

Even right away… This is the moment just before the attack begins.

Siwoon shifted his gaze to the middle of the guard lineup.

One guard with a shield had a lamp attached to his waist.

The lamp was shining brightly around the dark cave.

‘That’s it.’

The chief of security pointed his sword at Siwoon and said.

“I will ask you one last time. Are you the Sam who will help that traitor to the end?”

The manager’s voice was very serious.

As if this was his last chance, his eyes were heavier than ever.

“Wait a minute.”

Siwoon lowered his head and spoke in a low voice.

All of the guards stopped at Siwoon’s words.

The general manager smiled lightly.

“So, did you decide to give up after all? Well thought out I don’t know what you look like, but you sound like a young guy. Wouldn’t it be a waste of youth to die here? Put down the knife, for now.”

The commander lowered the knife he was aiming at and issued a hand signal to instruct the other guards to stop preparing for the attack.

Then, the manager slowly approached Siwoon.

“For now, give me that knife.”

“Okay.”

Siwoon answered with a resigned voice.

Siwoon puts down the claymore he was holding… Instead, pretending to put it down, he lowered his back to the ground.

The general manager gradually approached Siwoon right in front of him and held out his hand.

“Give me that knife…… Aagh!”

The manager groaned and rubbed his face.

I got hit in the eye by sand that quickly flew from Siwoon’s hand.

“Ouch! This person… This bastard!!”

The manager rubbed his eyes, as if his eyes were very sore.

The manager’s subordinates immediately tried to spread their offensive momentum.

It was then.

Siwoon grabbed something from the ground, rolled it sideways, and threw it at the guards.

They were the size of a human hand!

The stone that flew out of Siwoon’s hand flew quickly through the gap between the guards…

Crazy sauce!!

Something exploded.

It was the lamp attached to the guard’s waist that exploded.

As the bottle of the lamp broke, sharp fragments flew around, and the cave became dark in an instant.

“It’s dark! I can’t see ahead!!”

“He broke the lamp on purpose!”

The guards shouted in confusion.

That’s right.

The lamp, which was the only light illuminating the sight of the guards, was broken, and they couldn’t help but panic.

“You stupid bastards! Don’t panic, shine a light! Magic bottle! Summon Fireball!! Wouldn’t that work?!”

The chief of security was giving orders while rubbing his bloodshot eyes.

‘… Do you think I’ll leave it like that?’

Siwoon had already dug into their gap.

‘I can’t see you guys because it’s dark, but with my eyes I can see what kind of expressions you guys are making!’

“Fireball!”

In the hand of one magician! As soon as the sphere of flame begins to burn…

Boom!

“Keah!”

The magic bottle screamed in an instant.

It was after being hit by a greatsword that frightfully flew right in front of his face in the dark.

The flame that had been burning in the magic bottle’s hand went out, and Siwoon quickly turned his back and swung his greatsword down to the side!

Bahah!

“Keah!”

Unable to see the front, there was a blunt sound that caused the back of the shield soldier’s head to split open, and the shield soldier knelt down on the spot, dropped his head to the ground, and passed out. .

“Magic bottle!! What are you doing! Cast any skill quickly! Shouldn’t you shine a light to secure your eyesight?!”

The chief of security screamed in frustration.

As he shouted, he was rubbing his eyes.

It looked like the sand mixed with the germs from the cave floor had properly entered his eyes.

“…… S, skill! Stand, the light of the setting sun!”

A magician who was perplexed by the chaotic situation shouted the skill starter, but the skill was no longer displayed.

It was because he was scared to shout the starting language, and Siwoon’s greatsword flew from the air and struck him in the chest.

“……… ….”

Cheolpuduck.

The magician collapsed helplessly, and no words came out of his mouth.

“f*ck it.”

The guards continued to moan in succession.

“W-How could he move like that in this dark place?!”

The sword-wielding guard monologued in a trembling voice.

In front of his own eyes, and around him, he could see absolutely nothing.

And.

When I heard the signs of my comrades falling one by one in the darkness, I felt a sense of fear.

Cheolpuduck- Degurur.

The sound of another guard falling was heard.

At the same time, the fallen guard’s head and the separated guard’s helmet rolled helplessly across the cave floor for several meters.

‘It’s done. Now, there are only two left.’

In Siwoon’s eyes, everything was already vividly visible.

There were just two guards left.

A chief of guard and a shield soldier holding a shield and trembling.

“Oh, don’t come!!”

The shield soldiers were trembling in the dark from an attack that could come from anywhere and at any time.

Already, his mana was running low, so he couldn’t even cast a skill.

Ta ta tak!

In the ears of the shield soldier, they heard the sound of footsteps quickly hitting the cave floor and running.

The shield soldier shouted, shaking his legs like an aspen tree.

“Oh, don’t come!!”

It was a pleading cry full of fear.

However, the request in that cry was ignored very lightly.

Let the wide part of the greatsword pierce the nape of the shield soldier’s neck.

He let out a bizarre moan, his tongue curling into his mouth, and then sat down on the floor.

“There’s only one last one left.”

Siwoon turned his head and looked at the remaining Hannom.

“Whoa… ….”

The identity of the sigh filled with anger came from the mouth of the chief of security.

It was after the manager had dealt with the sand that got into his eyes.

“You bastard. You did something that will never be forgiven. Are you prepared?”

The chief of security said, taking off his armored helmet and throwing it to the ground.

When the helmet came off, the manager’s face was clearly visible.

He was a handsome man with very distinct features.

Into his rough eyes, the eyes that contained life were radiating.

‘Should I get another piece of equipment too!’

Siwoon immediately ran to the side and picked up a shield.

It was a square shield that escaped from the shield soldier’s hand.

‘… If you hold this shield in your left hand and use a great sword in your right hand to properly mix the attack and defense combos against him, you have a chance to win!’

However,

[I can’t wear a square shield!]

[The condition for equipping the item is not met.]

[Insufficient level.]

‘Damn it!’

In Siwoon’s hand, the square shield automatically fell to the ground.

To wear a square shield, the level was still insufficient.

Roaring!

“……… ?”

Siwoon opened his eyes wide in surprise at the unusual sound.

Blue heat began to burn in the eyes of the chief of security.

Soon, the heat grew thicker and started to grow.

“Dead Crying.”

The chief of security shouted in a heavy voice.

The director’s eyes were burning black and blue, and his hair was floating upwards.

His appearance was like that of a goblin.

Soon, vibrations transmitted around the land of the chief of security and began to reverberate.

Papa papa papa!!

In the windless cave, a huge wind blew and enveloped the entire body of the chief of security.

Siwoon instinctively stepped back while holding the greatsword.

‘What about that skill?’

Siwoon also knew that skill.

Skill name is Dead Crying.

It was a skill given after the 2nd job change.

‘… As expected, that guy, the manager, was the one who changed his job to the second.’

Siwoon’s hand holding the sword began to tremble.

I was well aware that that skill was a very frightening one.

‘Dead Crying. It’s a technique that amplifies his body for 5 minutes, greatly increasing all of his stats.’

I was at a loss again.

Siwoon couldn’t stop the head of the guard who used that skill.

No matter how bad the level of the guard chief is, at least 50 is above.

On the other hand, Siwoon’s level is only 10.

The minimum level difference is 40.

The difference of level 40 was truly enormous.

Even though Siwoon had fraudulent stats, it was nothing compared to the manager’s abilities.

This is because the manager is already covering his entire body with rare items.

In addition, if the dead cry, a special skill of a warrior who changed his 2nd job, is added,

Awesome… The skill gap widens.

Chumble.

The chief of security approaches with eyes burning blue. The pressure was so great that Siwoon kept stepping back.

I had an instinctive intuition that I would not be able to handle this no matter how cleverly I tried.

“Come to work, kid.”

The voice of the security director was also very husky due to the influence of Dead Crying.

It was like the voice of a thick, modulated monster.

“Dihart!! Are you dead?! Hey!”

Siwoon turned his head in a sense of danger and shouted loudly.

I was desperate!

From noble mtl dot com

At that time, Siwoon’s eyes widened.

‘Finally moving?’

Dihart, he.

I was slowly raising my body.

Then, he placed his hand on his hair, which was covered in blood, and gently parted it upward.

“It’s done.”

It was the sound that came from Dihart’s mouth.

His upbringing was more stable than before.

It seemed that he had recovered somewhat.

“Done? You mean recovery is over? So come on help! Tell me what to do with this guy in front of me.”

Siwoon was in a hurry to step backstab while looking at the manager and Diethart, who were walking towards him without hesitation.

The manager moved his head and moved his eyes to Die Hart.

“You didn’t manage to die. Were you alive In that case, it is urgent to kill you first!”

Roaring!

The manager, who was glaring at Dihart with goblin-like eyes, raised his sword and made a run-up.

Puong!

Chief, as soon as his right foot came off the ground, he heard an explosion and terribly flew towards Diehard.

Because of the effect of Dead Crying, his muscle strength and agility were greatly amplified, so the strength of the jumping manager was enormous.

Shu-wook.

The manager jumped a distance of twenty meters while floating in the air and landed on Diethart’s head.

“You traitor…. I won’t break your heart….”

Pabababak!

A huge spark was flying from the manager’s sword.

‘If I get hit by a sword strike…. Dangerous!’

Tattatata!

Shiwoon felt a sense of danger and started to run frantically toward his manager.

“The first defeat of the king [敗王一斬].”

…… Those were the words that came out of Dihart’s mouth, holding his old spear in his right hand.

And,

Puaaang!

A while ago, a violent storm blew up, incomparable to Dead Crying, to the extent that even calling it wind would not be enough to describe it, and it began to wrap around Dihart.

The enveloping storm began to shake around with a roar.

Papa papa papa! The rupture sound was comparable to that of a thunderclap.

An amazing thing happened right before my eyes.
