Episode 106 PK (2)
Jencia Naifrin.
It’s a pseudonym I mostly use when I’m plundering, but anyway.
She had no particular worries as she entered the ‘Glacier Cave’ alone.
Because I’m confident that I can clear it alone even after killing everyone.
She finished learning the strategy by purchasing information that ‘Frozen Breath’ drops here.
but…….
[… It won’t be a burden. It’s Abman Urikfried.]
Things were off to a bad start.
[I’m a 6th-grade explorer, and Michelle is a 7th-grade explorer. We were originally active mainly on the 4th floor.] [I see, I’m a 5th-grade explorer.]
A 5th-grade archer, a 6th-grade barbarian, and a 7th-grade waterman.
‘Why are these guys on the first floor at this hour?’
I didn’t understand it at all.
Even though it was a crack that opened on the first day, I thought that at most one or two rank 7 or 8 players might come in.
‘Anyway, so what do we do now?’
Originally, she had planned to just play around with it and enjoy her ‘hobby’ activities, then go out and catch the Guardian on her own.
Well, word shouldn’t get out into the city.
Her equipment, skills, and appearance were already known to the guild.
If they find out you’re alive, you’ll definitely be in trouble.
‘It’s too risky to go through it alone, so should I just stay quiet this time and wait for next time?’
At first I thought that way, but it gradually changed.
Isn’t it true that sometimes in life, a crisis can become an opportunity?
‘Tseuup, it’s not like I can’t wait for three months, but it’s still a shame, isn’t it?’
Thanks to my extensive experience in looting, I can get a rough estimate just by looking at it.
‘The Archer is 30 million, the Barbarian is 6 million, and that’s about 3 million.’
A total of 39 million stones.
It’s no easy feat to plunder this much within a labyrinth, especially for a lone raider like her.
‘Okay, let’s do it.’
Soon she was plotting her plans again.
If we take advantage of the special situation of being in a crack, it seems like the angle could come out somehow.
‘The problem is this archer bastard… … .’
Barbarians and water people are low-ranking and warrior-type, so they aren’t particularly scary.
Since there is no way I would have any detection capabilities, I am confident I would win even if it were a 2:1 situation.
But one was different.
‘Why are you so thorough?’
He was as experienced as a top explorer.
He tried to hide his abilities in front of people he met for the first time, and whenever he tried to sneak into a blind spot, he habitually turned his gaze to himself.

It was the same when I slept by a campfire.
The archer sat with her back to the wall, keeping her and Carlson within sight.
‘Ha, it’s not like it’s a surveillance camera or anything. That cat bitch didn’t even care that it was behind her.’
Is it because we are of the same race?
The Sagittarius bastard showed no weaknesses only to Carlson and himself.
Of course, it didn’t seem like he had noticed anything.
It’s probably just a habit.
As I gained experience, it became as natural as breathing.
‘… … That’s why the human race is so ugly.’
She waited patiently.
[And I ate the essence of a goblin archer, and I was trained as a explorer from a young age, so I have some knowledge of traps and mechanical devices.]
As I said when I first introduced myself, I only acted like a beginner and let my guard down.
And then the moment arrived.
[I guess I’ll have to use more force this time.]
The archer pup finally unleashed a new ability.
The four essences that the bastard possessed were already confirmed. Finally, it was the ability of the ‘soul beast’ that he was most wary of.
[Gaaaaah!!]
A gray bear running on all fours while roaring.
As soon as I saw it, the corners of my lips curled up.
The archer pup was a summoner.
It is a tank-type summon that does not have detection abilities and can only act as a meat shield.
Also, is it heaven that helps?
Boom-!
The barbarian was hit in the head with a hammer and fell down.
It may seem like a ridiculous defeat for a 6th-grade explorer, but it’s not an unacceptable story considering that his agility stat was reduced due to [Hypothermia].
No, maybe the 6th grade thing was a lie.
In the first place, that Barbarian wasn’t that important.
“The character cast [Armor Transformation].”
Use skills to change equipment.
An old sword is transformed into a poisoned sword, and the other parts are transformed into specialized equipment for personal combat that she has collected one by one.
And in that state.
“The character cast [Beast Step].”
“You gain advanced stealth status and your movement speed is greatly increased for 3 seconds.”
Activates stealth.
That thing that was introduced as the essence of goblin archer when doing ‘hobby activities’.
fault-
I ran forward, stamping hard on the ground, but the sound of my footsteps was extremely faint due to the advanced stealth compensation.
The archer cub, who was distracted by the orc, still didn’t notice any movement here.

“The character cast [Revenge].”
“For the first hit, penetration and cutting power are greatly increased, and the abnormal status ‘Bleeding’ is applied.”
Within moments, her sword slashed through her target’s abdomen.
It was amazing.
Because the original intention was to stab the heart.
‘I knew you’d react to that.’
Of course, it wasn’t a significant outburst.
I could feel the insides of the body with the tip of the sword, and I had already applied the poison.
Nothing changes.
It just made my death a little more painful.
“Ugh!”
It was a moment when I was trying to enjoy the afterglow while looking at the expression of the archer bastard spitting out blood.
Clang!
Something hit his head and broke, spilling out a sticky liquid.
“What, what is it!”
When I checked, it was none other than the cat bitch’s doing.
“What the hell are you doing to me… … .”
A car that backs away for a moment, thinking that something is wrong.
The unconscious barbarian suddenly sits up and comes into view.
“What, what are you talking about… … .”
I didn’t understand it at all.
It took less than two seconds from the time the skill was used to the time the surprise attack was successful.
And she knows, from experience.
When taken by surprise, they are usually startled and scream with a face full of betrayal.
That’s a normal reaction.
But what about this cat year?
As if he had been waiting for this moment, he rushed in and broke the bottle… … .
The same goes for the barbarian who stands up normally.
Don’t ask why you betrayed me.
As if there was no need to do that.
“Behel—raaaa …
Just run towards them, shouting.
From this heterogeneous behavior, she deduced one thing.
No, it would be more correct to say that I realized it.
‘No way… … You knew I would do this?’

There’s nothing wrong with it.
“The character cast [Beast Step].”
“The stealth state is removed by the Witch Sramp solution.”
That’s absolutely wrong.
***
“The character used [Wild Eruption].”
***
At the same time, calling out to the ancestral gods.
My whole body feels energized, and the attention of the Ice Oak who was beating up Carlson is drawn to me.
[What, what’s the use?]
Of course, there was no problem.
I got hit in the head a while ago, and I just had to endure it.
In that sense… … .
Ta-da-!
Dash, ignoring the orc.
The distance between us quickly narrows as we continue to move the thick, stretched-out Bavarian legs without stopping.
Jencia still had a blank expression on her face.
Well, I guess you don’t understand.
I succeeded in a surprise attack more perfectly than anyone else, so how could I have known that someone would have noticed it before?
Sigh.
I probably wouldn’t have noticed it either.
If I had been the one who came into the crack I opened, I would have thought you were just some ordinary low-level explorer.
I would have just let it be, like dirt on my shoes or something.
Well, at least you were careful about the back of your head.
‘Why are there so many chews in this world?’
Oh, maybe this person isn’t from here?
I erase the thoughts that are blooming like earthworms and hit the ground hard once more.
That was the moment.
“uh……?”
Jencia’s face turns pale.
It seemed like he had finally realized it.
That the ability to hide has become useless.
“Oh, why on earth is this… … .”
Perhaps concealment was the ultimate weapon.
The plan was to first kill Mr. Bear, and then use stealth to kill them one by one.
Assuming there are no magicians or detectors, this is a skill that shows off its immense power in single-player combat even at intermediate level or higher.

In fact, it is an ability that the warrior class cannot help but be exposed to with their eyes open.
I had only one thing to say.
“Year of the Monkey.”
If you were going to hide your identity like that, shouldn’t you have been careful with what you said?
If you hadn’t been talking about eating the essence of a goblin archer, I wouldn’t have known about the hiding.
Phew-!
As soon as we reached the street, I swung my mace.
But isn’t it true that he wasn’t trying to eat me with just hiding?
Jencia dodged my attack with a nimble sideways somersault.
But what should I do with this?
That’s the side with the cat.
“This fucking bitch!”
“Ugh!”
I just stayed still, but Zencia came back to me as I avoided Misha’s sword swing.
Somehow, I felt like I would avoid the large-scale mace swings.
That’s why… … .
Phew!
It’s been a while since I’ve done a shield smash.
As I hit her face with the shield like I was catching a tennis ball, Jencia’s body flies away like a piece of paper.
But did you also invest stats in defense?
Despite having a decent amount of skill, Jencia was able to maintain her balance and land in the air without fainting.
Gulp.
She cried out in annoyance, her nose bleeding profusely.
“These fucking NPCs… … !”
You really were a player.
This is the first time I’ve met someone from the same neighborhood since Tarikan Lien…
Still, nothing changes.
Whether you are a player or just a predator, the guys who tried to kill me are the same ‘chewy’.
“Bjorn! Be careful!”
huh?
Dash one more time, this time to really smash that bitch’s head in.
When I turn around at Misha’s shout, I see an orc.
[Profit!]
Without even realizing what was happening, he brought the axe down on me, trying to split my head open.
I turned my head because it was a bit too much to hit with my head.
Then a huge axe blade is embedded in the shoulder line of the lithium breastplate.

Kakang!
The bones are a little sore, but the damage is not significant.
So this time I ignored it and continued on my dash.
Well, when he dies, the final boss pops out.
But was it impressive that I didn’t flinch at the orc cub’s attack?
“Behel—raaaaaaaa!”
As if he were a tank that deflects bullets, he runs forward with a loud noise, and Zencia runs away in a hurry.
That too in the direction of the entrance we came in from.
I followed her because I was curious, and soon after, Jencia stopped walking.
“Oh, why is the wall… … .”
what?
I followed along diligently, thinking that there might be other factors.
Was he just an idiot?
Sigh.
It was somehow funny.
NPCs are like that, but you’re actually a player and you don’t know this. When you enter the third chapter, the ceiling collapses and the path is blocked.
In other words, this girl ran away without even knowing and headed down a dead end road.
So I also slowed down.
Because a cornered mouse will bite a cat.
I guess we need to be a little more careful.
Thump.
He walks slowly, covering his upper body with a shield.
It’s a passageway only big enough for two or three people to pass through, but I’m a big, precious barbarian warrior.
It is safe to say that there is no room to pass through.
Kakang-!
Well, in the midst of all this, the orc kid hit me in the back of the head again… … .
“Bjorn! I’ll take care of this guy!”
After hearing Misha’s scream, that stopped happening.
“Don’t kill me.”
“Huh? Okay, I understand!”
I took one more step.
Now the distance between me and that girl is only 2 meters.
In reality, they were both within each other’s radius, but Jencia couldn’t rush in.
The order of precedence has already been decided in my mind.
Thump.

Take another step with more confidence.
Only then did Jencia shout urgently.
“Wait a minute! Hey, let me talk! There’s a misunderstanding… … .”
What a misunderstanding.
I guess he just wants to buy time.
I saw the sword glowing red earlier, so it looked like you were using [Revenge].
‘The cooldown was 3 minutes?’
This was done on the basis that the cooldown setting was not set.
In other words, for the next two minutes, there’s no way that bitch can penetrate my shield—
WHEEK!
Jencia, who was trying to negotiate to divert attention from the beginning, cuts off the conversation and swings her sword.
Kakaotalk, bang!
He quickly blocked it with his shield and at the same time, he cut his wrist with his mace. The sword fell to the floor with his wrist bent strangely.
Chakakang.
At first glance, it looked like a one-way street.
Unless this girl has additional skills or equipment effects that can help her overcome this situation.
I can’t be sure yet.
So, it would be better to eliminate the variable.
Because they might have hidden something like a suicide bomber.
“Misunderstanding? Explain in detail.”
“Really… will you believe me?”
“If there is a reason for that.”
At my words, Jencia’s eyes became blank.
It seems like he’s thinking of a story in his head that might convince me.
No, even if you can’t convince them, you probably want to buy time by making a plausible argument.
“I… I don’t know if you’ll believe me—”
As soon as Jencia’s lips opened.
I hit him in the head with a mace.
Phew-!
Although she had shown quite nimble movements, this time she fell down without even reacting.
dump.
Soon, Jencia’s body convulsed and her mouth opened and closed.
It seems like you have something to say… … .
Sigh.
Looking into your eyes, I think I know what you mean.
Advertisements
I guess that’s why you didn’t keep your promise.
I answered honestly, like a Barbarian.
“You believe that? Are you brain-dead?”
Of course it is.
