[Hunted the Red Eyed Orangutan]
[The Emissary of the Underworld is impressed by your actions.]
Lee Jin-ah looked at Kim Woo-jin who was looking down at the Red Eyed Orangutan which had a spear sticking from its heart, like he was looking at a monster.
‘Oh my God.’
The moment he entered the dungeon, Kim Woo-jin summoned a Skeleton Soldier and began gathering information about the environment.
After five hours, he was able to draw a map on the ground using a branch after which he began moving and three hours later, this was the scene that he witnessed.
‘Is this even possible in 8 hours?’
It was beyond common sense.
However to Kim Woo-jin, this was nothing special.
‘There’s no reason to drag on a tracking quest.’
In fact, this strategy was standard for him.
Blitzkrieg, whenever the Messiah Guild took part in a dungeon with other guilds, the best way to avoid the threat of getting attacked was to quickly clear the dungeon before the other party could act.
Being able to clear dungeons faster than anyone else was one of the trademarks of the Messiah Guild.
[Proceed to the next floor.]
It was just shocking for players who didn’t know the truth.
“What happened suddenly while I was eating?”
“It happened during a battle! Ahh!”
So one after another, the players were forced to move to the second floor, regardless of whether they were eating or fighting.
Soon 241 players had made it to the second floor.
Once there, they received another notification.
[Hunt 30,000 monsters to advance to the next floor.]
30,000!
The faces of all the players who had advanced became frozen solid.
“What? 30,000?”
“Is there a mistake?”
“It isn’t 30,000 on the first floor, but the second…Isn’t this too insane?”
There was no one there who didn’t know how long it would take for them to hunt 30,000 monsters.
This was the same even for Kim Woo-jin.
‘30,000 isn’t small.’
He also knew how hard of a task it was to hunt 30,000 monsters.
Of course this fact didn’t make him lose focus.
At this moment, Kim Woo-jin’s head was filled with one thing.
‘Since it’s 30,000 then those who are targeting me will also focus on hunting since it will take a while, I have to finish before then.’
It would take a long time to hunt 30,000 monsters, but even then he didn’t have time to waste.
Kim Woo-jin immediately put his thoughts into action.
Krrrr!
Just in time, a group of Red-skin Orcs appeared, growling menacingly at Kim Woo-jin and Lee Jin-ah.
Rattle!
Ten Skeleton Soldiers that had already been summoned, made their appearance to face off against the Red-skin Orcs which were much stronger than the common Orcs and showcased their will to fight.
The situation was explosive.
And in such a situation, Kim Woo-jin lit the fuse.
“Berserker.”
In that moment, he had activated the skill that he had gained after achieving level 60, Berserker.
…
No matter who saw it, they would consider Kim Woo-jin’s fighting style to be incredibly reckless.
Even a huge battle which anyone would think is ridiculous, Kim Woo-jin would throw himself into it without hesitation.
It was as if he couldn’t wait to die.
However the basis for all his actions were a strong conviction in his victory, or a solid plan for escape.
This was the type of player that Kim Woo-jin was.
A player who could rationally calculate even his own life.
So what would happen if he lost all his reason and descended into madness?
The Skeleton Soldiers whose capabilities were based off of Kim Woo-jin, were showing the answers to that question.
Rattle!
Ten Skeleton soldiers who were created from the skeletons of giant Orangutans rushed toward the Red-Skin Orcs while flashing with yellow light.
Kuah!
The eleven orcs roared loudly and charged forward.
Soon the two groups collided.
Literally.
The Skeleton Soldiers who would usually aim for gaps in the offensive of the Red-skin Orcs, instead clashed directly with them.
Crack!
In the process, parts of their bones were broken, but the skeletons didn’t seem to care.
Puk!
While in the arms of the orcs, they dug their blades which were made of bone, between the ribs of the orcs where the muscles and skin was the thinnest, stabbing into the heart directly.
In that moment they had given up their bones and taken the heart.
[Afflicted by Blood Poison.]
It was also the moment when the blood poison that had been stabbed into the strong hearts were pumped to the rest of the Orcs’ bodies.
Puhup!
Each of the orcs vomited blood. The battle was over.
Even if the Red-skin Orcs were known for their toughness, there was nothing they could do after their hearts were stabbed and poison spread to every part of their bodies.
Psshk!
Even if they endured, all they could do was fall to the floor, tremble and wait for death.
“Whoa…”
As he watched this sight, Lee Jin-ah couldn’t help but exclaim while putting his hand over his ribs on the left.
Lee Jin-ah had fought against the skeletons in the last dungeon to the point where he’d almost died.
Therefore Lee Jin-ah knew better than anyone.
‘How can anyone stop that?’
It wasn’t easy to stop the attacks from the Skeleton Soldiers in the first place.
‘And what kind of berserker is that? If you’re crazy then you should fight blindly, how does it make sense that they still aimed for weaknesses like that?’
Moreover the thing that really made Lee Jin-ah’s spine cold was that they still managed to aim for a place to land a fatal blow despite being berserk.
This was only possible because Kim Woo-jin’s skeletons instinctively grasped and aimed for the weaknesses of all monsters.
‘They directly gave up their bones to target the heart.’
It was also scary that the skeletons would not die even after their bones were broken.
The damage that would have been fatal to a player was more or less just physical damage for the skeletons.
Actually, among the skeletons, those that weren’t severely damaged even began to recover to their previous state.
Gulp!
At that moment, Lee Jin-ah pushed some saliva past down his dry throat.
At the same time, Kim Woo-jin’s image came to his mind.
‘If he had fought according to his usual style…’
He compared the way the skeletons usually fought and the way they had just fought with the Orcs.
Lee Jin0ah couldn’t help but ask.
“How about that new skill’s effects?”
Kim Woo-jin answered after thinking for a moment.
“It’s not bad.”
“Not bad? I think it’s awesome.”
In response to Lee Jin-ah’s words, Kim Woo-jin began to gather the bodies of the Red-skin Orcs nearby.
“I’ll make a proper judgement after confirming everything.”
“Confirmation?”
“Summon Skeleton Knight.”
At Kim Woo-jin’s words, the flesh and skin of the five bodies that he’d gathered began melting off, leaving only the bones.
Rattle!
Immediately afterward, the bones began to reassemble into a new form.
Unlike the Skeleton Soldiers, a bright red flame began to burn in the skull of the Skeleton Knight which had dense ribs that resembled armor and a frame that was twice as large as the other skeletons.
[Summoned a Skeleton Knight.]
Kyaah!
The summoned Skeleton Knight also made a bizarre sound unlike the other skeletons.
“Berserker.”
At the moment, Kim Woo-jin spoke again.
The red flame in the Skeleton Knights blazing skull suddenly began to turn yellow.
[The power of the Berserker has entered the Spirit of the Skeleton Knight.]
[All Skeleton Knight stats increased by 20%]
Kuah!
At the same time, the cries of Red-skin Orcs who smelled the blood of their comrades, came from the distance.
The sound reminded Kim Woo-jin of a memory.
‘Come to think of it, I’d lost my reason and had a crazy fight.’
He remembered a time when he had fought as crazily as the Skeleton Soldiers just a moment ago.
‘It was when I was dealing with Johann Georg.’
It was a memory of him fighting against the King of Undead.
