I Returned, But My Power is the Same

Chapter 20 surprise attack

[You have acquired a mysterious substance!][The effect of the substance is “Increase the amount of stat experience gained.”]

Increases the amount of stat experience gained.

This means that even if you catch the same monster, the amount of experience points you gain is higher.

‘In terms of games, it’s an experience event.’

There is one more important thing here.

This effect…

[The effect of this substance is permanent.]

lasts forever

Unless I artificially erase it.

‘Good.’

I clenched my fists and stood up.

It was time to experience this effect.

“Move to the next giant rat dungeon!”

“Yes!”

I left the dungeon and moved to a certain mountain within the territory.

Another giant rat dungeon.

On the way up, the eyes of the soldiers turned to a certain building.

“Whoa, if you fall over, it’s within your nose, so it’s hard to meet you.”

“Even so, shouldn’t there be some kind of exchange?”

“I’ll have to see it again during battalion tactics training.”

3rd Middle.

Unlike our company made up of only male hunters, a place made up only of female hunters.

Although they belong to the same battalion, they rarely meet as the soldiers say.

‘When a man and woman are in one place, she tells them to get angry … Actually, it’s not wrong.’

There are people who are growing in love even though they have put it this way.

Is it because love transcends borders?

‘But it’s not something we don’t meet very much. Like battalion tactics training, we move together whenever we go out to attack dungeons outside the territory.”

Is it just training or dungeon attack?

When you go on vacation, you are just one man and one woman.

I think we played together a few times.

I shrugged and turned my head.

Next to him, Lieutenant Young So-jin’s powerful command continued.

“Hunter does whatever it takes! Hunter is the immortal hunter! Hunter begins, one two three four!”

“we are! invincible! Hunter!”

“Larger!”

“we are! invincible! Hunter!”

As they were moving in units of platoons, the other squads were also resounding with a certain Hunter song.

In a way, it might be a good (?) phenomenon.

“The tactic is the same this time. We will divide the groups into squads and determine the location of the giant rats, and then launch a siege attack from all sides.”

“Yes!”

“All prepared hunters enter the dungeon.”

“Yes!”

Another giant rat dungeon arrived.

Hunters begin to step one after another.

Our squad was the last to enter.

[Enter the dungeon.]

After that, under the command of the platoon leader, each squad begins to disperse in all directions.

and how long has it been

The radio from the other squad rang.

“Commander, commander, this is squad two.”

“Report.”

“We found a group of giant rats 150m ahead.”

“Good reception. Squad 2 waits on the spot, and the rest of the squad moves to where the coordinates are marked.”

The coordinates are in the opposite direction from where our squad is located.

Lieutenant Young So-jin immediately turned around.

“Let’s hurry.”

“Yes!”

It will take quite some time to get there.Can not help it.

This is what dungeon raids are basically like.

Combat is also a battle, but more time is spent figuring out the location of the monsters and moving them tactically again.

‘Rather, this is good. In some dungeons, you may have to stay for a few nights or a few days.’

I followed Lieutenant Young So-jin for a long time with the members of the squad.

It didn’t take that long, thanks to the speedy movement.

“If you give me a signal, I will go in immediately.”

“Yes.”

Soon each group surrounded a large group of giant rats.

Then it was the same as before.

As soon as the command of the platoon leader was given, the hunters charged at the giant rats all at once.

I got closer especially faster.

‘To see the effect of the beads, you have to catch as many as possible.’

Fortunately, these giant rats were outnumbered.

If you hold on to it without a break, you will be able to pull the mulberry properly.

Snack!

Snack!

The giant rats finally encountered.

I swung my sword like crazy.

Originally, at least five or six swords were stabbed or cut to death, but now it was enough to use only half of that.

and···

[Experience of strength stats increases!][Experience of strength stats increases!][Experience of strength stats increases!]

The effect of the beads is immediately revealed.

If it was like before, the notification would only appear once, but it came up three times in a row.

It wasn’t just the strength stats.

[Experience of the stamina stat increases!][Experience of the stamina stat increases!][Experience of the stamina stat increases!][Experience of agility stats increases!][Experience of agility stats increases!][Experience of agility stats increases!]

The stamina stats and agility stats were the same.

Whoa.

For a moment, I almost screamed without realizing it.

I hid my excitement and continued my hunt.

As a result of beating about dozens of them, I was able to receive another notification.

[Strength stat level rises!][The level of the stamina stat rises!][The level of the agility stat rises!]

Of course, the effect of the stat rune I ate during the construction of the fortifications must have been there.

But even considering that, it was a huge growth.

‘There is a reason that the marble was called the Hidden Peace of the Hidden Peace.’

I feel like I know for sure.

And what’s even better is…

‘It will always be like this.’

***

“uh? Isn’t that 3rd grade?”

On the way out of the giant mouse dungeon after hunting.

The soldiers’ eyes turned to one place at once.

“That’s right, the third company.”

“Hey, we just met here.”

A group of female hunters were walking from afar.

As if he had just gone to a dungeon, his body was full of traces of battle.

Among them, there was one that caught the eyes of the soldiers more.

“Wow, it’s Seong Da-kyung…”

“How do you think she’s getting prettier…”

“I heard that Seong Da-kyung is being dashed by officers as well.”

Seong Da-kyung.

It is said that if you were an idol, you would have stood at the center, so it boasts a beautiful appearance.

The sharp eyes that create an alluring atmosphere are particularly impressive.

In a word, it was an appearance that I would look back on once, no, two or three times if I met him on the way.

‘Pretty is pretty.’

I’m also a man, so I’m blind.

There are monsters’ blood and debris all over their faces, but somehow their appearance is not hidden.

‘It looks like the deputy commander.’

Both are pretty, but the feeling is different.

Seong Da-kyung is a little bit like a thief.

She doesn’t give a glance when the soldiers look at her like that.

‘No matter what anyone says, it’s only natural to get dashed by officers.’

Her face isn’t everything.

Her skills are also outstanding.

‘I think I heard that she passed the promotion exam.’

She is a perfect woman in many ways.

I shook my head and looked away.

‘Am I thinking of others now? It’s time for me to think.’

***

Following the 3rd day, the 4th day also attacked the giant rat dungeon.

I went to a place where the number of horses was higher and suffered rather than hardship, but instead, I was rewarded with experience points.

She could tell just by looking at the status window.

[Choi Do-jin][Strength: Lv.37 (Experience – 0.743%)][Health: Lv.35 (Experience – 0.868%)][Agility: Lv.33 (Experience – 0.942%)]

I just leveled up yesterday, and my experience points are already close to 1% full.

Although this may seem small, it is by no means a small number.

‘Even after 10 years before returning, the highest level was 35. It’s something you can understand just by thinking about it.’

I turned off the status window and looked at the dungeon in front of me.

Day 5.

Last day to attack the dungeon.

Since it was the last day, a slightly more difficult dungeon was chosen.

“You must have already heard the explanation from the dormitory. This dungeon is a Red Goblin dungeon.”

Red Goblin.

As the name suggests, it is an individual of a goblin, and its combat power is significantly higher than that of a normal goblin.

The ax used as a weapon is not crude at all.

The material is also the material, and the large and hard blade is almost at the level that some weapon maker makes.

In particular, the problematic part is…

“The Red Goblin climbs a tree and hides, and when Hunters pass under it, they attack by surprise. You can just walk and a red goblin can fall over your head, that’s it.”

If you just fall off it’s fine.

As he falls, he slams it down with an ax as hard as he can.

There were not one or two hunters who suffered.

‘I’m wearing a combat helmet, so my head doesn’t get hurt, but it’s still dangerous. I’m getting sick a lot.’

I was one of those dogs.

One time, I had a mistake on the back of my neck and I was lying in bed for a month or three.

‘It’s a terrible memory. Ugh.’

I shuddered and checked the equipment.

After the explanation, the platoon commander was preparing to enter.

“Each deputy platoon commander wants to know if there are any abnormalities. Uh, Lieutenant Young.”

“Pr. Lee Min-ho is going down to the medical school with symptoms of dizziness.”

“Are you Minho? Why all of a sudden?”

“It looks like you had a bit of a crowd in the giant rat dungeon yesterday.”

“okay? Then how do I get another kid?”

The Red Goblin dungeon is like a regular goblin dungeon, where battles are fought in squads, not platoons.

Within the squad, it is again divided into three reforms, and if Private Lee Min-ho is missing, there will be a slight setback in the personnel distribution.

The platoon commander is concerned about that part.

Lieutenant Young So-jin pointed to the far right entrance and answered.

“I think the side we are entering will be fine because there aren’t many heads.”

“great. Then let’s go.”

“Yes.”

Now that I’ve figured out what’s wrong, all that’s left is to enter the dungeon.Each squad knocks on the assigned entrance.

[Enter the dungeon.]

Since there was some risk, Lieutenant Young So-jin’s face was more serious than ever.

“Squad leader Joe moves this way, Division leader Joe moves this way, and I and Private Choi Do-jin move this way.”

“Yes.”

“Red goblins can attack from the trees, so be careful.”

“Yes.”

“Then report it as soon as you figure it out.”

“Yes.”

I belonged to Lieutenant Young So-jin, and there were only me and Lieutenant Young So-jin.

It’s because Private Lee Min-ho, who was a senior private, went down to the medical school earlier.

Soon, the squad leader group and the sub-leader group disperse in their respective directions.

Second Lieutenant Young So-jin also started right away.

“Move quickly, but watch your surroundings.”

“Yes.”

Red Goblin.

It’s definitely a tricky monster, but if you’re careful with the surprise part, it shouldn’t be a big problem.

The fact that he has high combat power and good ax is just tickling in front of Hunters equipment.

“Wait a minute.”

“Yes.”

how far did you go

There are a few beautiful spruce trees embedded in it.

Lieutenant Young So-jin fired a magic bullet at it.

I also grinded my bullets into the wood on the other side.

But all that fell were the pitiful leaves.

“Keep moving.”

“Yes.”

A similar situation has occurred since then.

Each time he used magic bullets to determine the presence or absence of the enemy, but nothing was gained.

Did they go on a picnic as a group?

why can’t you see

“stop.”

“Yes.”

Then a few more trees appeared.

But this time it was.

🥺🥺🥺-

A cool breeze scratched their cheeks, and the Red Goblins didn’t even show their noses.

That’s weird.

There are a lot of them on flat ground, but most of them only aim for surprise attacks on trees.

“Move again.”

“Yes.”

It was a moment when he tilted his head like that and passed under the tree.

Something popped out above Lieutenant Young So-jin’s head, who was three or four steps ahead of me.

Sassaak-!

It was a red goblin.

He had been hiding his body persistently even after hearing the sound of the fire.

I’ve caught a lot of red goblins in the past 10 years before returning, but this is the first time I’ve seen such a case… No, it’s not important now.

The ax in his hand is pointing towards Lieutenant Young So-jin’s head.

“Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”

“Vice-Captain!”

I threw my sword at him and hurriedly threw myself at Lieutenant Young Sojin.

And rolled over the bushes.

“Kee, Kee Eeck.”

“Heh heh, heh heh.”

Fortunately, he got a proper hit in the head, so he went back and fell.

Uh huh, that was going to be a big deal.

“Vice-Captain, are you all right…”

“Uh huh. It’s okay, it’s okay.”

I couldn’t speak any more.

Lieutenant Young So-jin was completely superimposed on my body that had collapsed on the floor.

As much as she could feel her breath right in front of her nose.
