Chapter 63[OK]

"진우 오빠!"
"Jinwoo oppa!"

한송이가 눈물까지 글썽거리며 반가움을 내비쳤다.
Han Song-yi burst into tears and let out a welcome.

"공대장님!"
"Captain!" 

한송이 만큼은 아니지만 남자 헌터 두 사람도 얼굴이 환해졌고, 박희진은 진우의 얼굴을 확인하고서야 안도의 한숨을 내쉬었다.
Not as much as Song-yi, but two male hunters also brightened up, and Park Hee-jin sighed with relief only after checking Jin-woo's face.
하지만 진우에겐 팀원들의 환대에 응해 줄 여유가 없었다.
However, Jin could not afford to accept the hospitality of his team members.

"쉿."
"Shhh."

진우가 입술에 검지를 붙였다.
Jinwoo put a finger on his lips.
금방이라도 진우에게 안겨들 것 같았던 네 사람이 일제히 얼음으로 변했다.
Four men, who saw Jinwoo's gesture, turned silent.
박희진이 물었다. 
Park Hee-jin ask

"왜, 왜요?"
"Why, why?"

패 죽여도 시원찮을 자식.
It is also unactimated to be killed.
진우는 기절한 김철을 노려보다 뒤돌아섰다.
Jin-woo turned around looking at Kim Cheol-soo, who was in despair.

"김철이 혹을 달고 왔어."
"Kim Chul is only got a bump."

숲속에서 무수한 기척이 느껴졌다. 지금은 김철인지 고철인지를 신경 쓸 때가 아니었다.
There was a great deal of foreboding in the forest. Now was not the time to pay attention to whether it was Kim or scrap iron.
진짜 문제는 저쪽이니까.
The real problem is over there.
스르르-
seuleuleu-
진우의 시선을 감지한 백귀들이 '은신'을 풀고 모습을 드러냈다.
The Ice Elves, who sensed Jin Woo's eyes, broke the "hide?? " and showed up.
대략 20여 마리 정도.
About 20 of them.
그중 하나.
One of them.
말을 탄 긴 머리의 백귀에게 진우의 시선이 고정되었다.
Jinwoo's eyes were fixed on the horse's white long-haired Elf.

'...저놈이 보스다.'
'...that's the boss.' 

아이스 베어, 아니 주변의 백귀들과 비교해도 압도적인 기운이 놈에게서 흘러나왔다.
Compared to the ice bears, or the surrounding Ice Elves, overwhelming energy flowed from him.
저런 놈이 던전의 보스가 아니라면 누가 보스가 될 수 있을까?
Who could be the boss of Dungeon if that wasn't him?
오랜만에 살이 떨려 왔다.
I've been training for a long time.
진우가 놈의 강함에 전율하는 동안, 보스도 진우를 한눈에 알아보았다.
While Jinwoo was thrilled by his strength, the boss recognized him at once.

"정말로 있구나. 쓰레기들 중에서도 쓸 만한 녀석이."
"There really is a guy who can be used among the trash."
"뭐라고?"
"What?"
"...?"
"...?"

진우가 무심코 내뱉은 말에 보스가 놀랍다는 반응을 보였다.
Jin-woo's careless remarks gave a surprising response to the boss.

"너, 우리의 언어를 아는가?"
"Do you know our language?"

진우도 놀라기는 마찬가지였다.
Jin Woo was equally surprised.

'어떻게 대화가 가능한 거지?'
'How can we talk?'

마수의 말을 알아들을 수 있었다. 
I could understand the boss's words 
그뿐 아니라 마수의 말도 할 수가 있었다.
Not only that, but he was also able to say boss 's words.
기억에도 없는 언어가 모국어처럼 줄줄 흘러나왔다.
Words that were not in my memory flowed out like mother tongue.

"당신, 마수들 언어도 할 줄 알아요?"
"Do you know how to speak, too?"

박희진은 하도 놀라서 더 이상 어떻게 놀라야 할지 모르겠다는 표정이었다.
Park Hee-jin was surprised and had no idea how to be surprised anymore.
그걸 보고 진우는 지금 보스의 말을 알아듣고 있는 사람이 자신뿐이라는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다.
From that, Jinwoo was able to confirm that he was the only one who could understand what the boss said.

'이것도 시스템의 영향인가?' 
Is this also the effect of the system?'

자동번역 같은 거.
Like an automatic translation.
진우의 시선이 다시 보스에게로 향했다.
Jinwoo's eyes were on the boss again.
보스가 흥미롭다는 눈빛을 보냈다.
The boss gave an interesting look.


"대화가 통한다라... 잘됐군. 너에게 소개해 주고 싶은 이가 있다."
"The conversation works... Great. I'd like to introduce someone to you."

보스는 손바닥으로 뒤쪽의 백귀 한 명을 가리켰다.
The boss pointed to a Ice Elf at the back with his palm.

"이미 구면이겠지."
"It's already a spade."

진우의 눈매가 예리해졌다.
Jinwoo's eyes became sharp.
확실히 낯이 익다.
He is certainly familiar.

'저놈은...'
'He's...'

처음 레드 게이트 안으로 들어섰을 때 한송이에게 화살을 날리고 조소를 보냈던 놈.
When he first stepped inside the red gate, he threw an arrow and laughed at Han Song.

그 건방진 낯짝을 어떻게 잊을까.
How can I forget that impudent face?
그놈은 여전히 입가에 미소를 머금고 있었다.
He still had a smile around his mouth.

"인간들 중 강한 자가 있다고 알려 준 친구지. 이 친구가 그대와 승부를 내고 싶어 하는데, 그.. ."
"A friend who told me there was a strong man among us. He wants to play with you, he..."

말이 끝나기도 전에 진우가 던진 '나이트 킬러'가 일직선으로 쇄도했다.
Even before the end of the speech, Jin-woo's "Night Killer" poured in in a straight line.
퍽!
peog!
웃고 있던 백귀의 얼굴 정중앙에 단검이 박혔다.
A dagger stuck in the center of the smiling Ice Elf's face.

"헉!"
"heog!"

비명은 헌터들 쪽에서 나왔다.
The scream came from the Hunters.
윤기중은 자기도 모르게 소리를 내지른 입을 황급히 틀어막았다.
Without realizing it, Yoon hurriedly closed his noisy mouth.
털썩.
Plop-
백귀가 그대로 쓰러졌다.
The Ice Elf fell down as it was.
진우가 손을 뻗자 백귀 머리에 박혀 있던 '나이트 킬러'가 흔들리기 시작하더니 곧 뽑혀서 되돌아왔다.
Jinwoo reached for his hand and the 'Night Killer' stuck in his head began to shake, then was pulled back.
진우가 '나이트 킬러'를 역수로 쥐고 자세를 낮췄다.
Jinwoo lowered his position by holding the 'Night Killer' as a weight lifter.

"다른 할 말은?"
"What else do you want to say?"

보스가 감탄을 터트렸다.
The boss burst into admiration.

"...정말 강하구나."
"...you're so strong."

그러고는 말에서 내려섰다. 하지만 아직 싸울 마음은 없는지 무기를 들거나 적의를 보이지는 않았다.
Then he stepped down from the horse. However, he has yet to raise his arms or show hostility.

"그러나 너도 알고 있겠지."
"But I'm sure you know."

그러면서 여유 있는 표정을 일관한 채 계속해서 대화를 유도했다.
He continued to encourage conversation with a relaxed look on his face.

"이 수를 상대로 이길 수 없다는 사실을."
"The fact that you can not win against this number."

스물이 넘는 아이스 엘프들.
Over twenty ice elves.
수가 중요한 게 아니다.
The number does not matter.
녀석들 틈에 보스가 끼어 있다는 사실이 위험했다.
It was dangerous to have a boss among them.
나머지 백귀들은 아이스 베어들을 잡으며 최대한 레벨을 올려 둔 진우의 상대가 되지 못했다.
The rest of the white spirits were no match for Jinwoo, who raised the level as much as possible by catching the ice bears.
방금 단검에 맞고 죽은 놈처럼.
Like the one who just got shot by dagger and died.

'보스를 어떻게 처리한다?'
How do you handle the boss?'


진우가 머리를 굴리는 동안 보스가 말을 이어 갔다.
The boss kept on talking while Jinwoo was rolling his head.

"내가 제안을 하나 하지."
"I have a suggestion."
"제안?"
"suggestion?"
"그래. 너에게도 나쁜 조건은 아닐 것이다."
"Yeah, it would not be bad for you, either."
"..."

진우는 내심 놀랐다.
Jinwoo was surprised.
인간형 마수에게 지능이 있다는 사실은 익히 알려져 있었지만, 인간을 상대로 거래를 제시할 정도라고는 생각해 본적이 없었다.
Although it was well known that the humanoid was intelligent, I never thought it was enough to offer a deal to humans.
그래서 일단 한번 들어는 보고 싶어졌다.
So I wanted to hear it once.

"...들어 보고."
"...listen to me."

보스가 그럴 줄 알았다는 듯 웃으며 말문을 열었다.
The boss opened his mouth with a smile as if he knew it would happen.

"그전에 하나만 묻지."
"Just one question."
"...?"
"너는 왜 인간도 아니면서 인간들 틈에 있는가?"
"Why are you in human beings, not human beings?"

진우의 미간이 구겨졌다.
Jinwoo's hair was wrinkled.

"무슨 헛소리야?"
"What are you talking about?"
"하하, 본인도 모르고 있었던 건가?"
"Ha ha, did you not know?"

보스는 실소를 터트리며 자신의 관자놀이를 가리켰다.
The boss burst into laughter and pointed to his temples.

"우리의 머릿속엔 끊임없이 목소리가 들려온다. 인간을 죽이라고. 그런데 네 앞에서는 그 목소리가 들리지 않는군."
"We have a constant voice in our heads, to kill humans, but not in front of you."

아.
Ah.
그런 이야기였나?
Was it such a story?
그거라면 진우에게 짐작 가는 구석이 하나 있었다.
There was a speck of it to Jin-woo.

'인간이라는 말은 아마 헌터를 뜻하는 거겠지.'
'Human beings probably mean Hunter.'

자신은 지하 신전을 나온 뒤 시스템에 의해 '플레이어'라는 특이 체질로 변했다.
After he left the underground temple, he was transformed into a unique body called a player by the system.
엄밀히 분류하면 헌터, 즉 각성자들과는 조금 달랐다.
Strictly classified, it was a little different from Hunter, or the Awakening.

'그래서 내가 인간이 아니라고 착각하는 거다.'
'That's why you think I'm not a human being.'

그렇게 생각하면 앞뒤가 딱딱 맞아떨어졌다.
It was a perfect fit to think
진우가 납득했다는 얼굴을 하자 보스가 고개를 끄덕였다.
The boss nodded when see Jin Woo's face.

"우리는 싸울 필요가 없다. 이쪽도 쓸데없이 피해를 보고 싶지는 않으니."
"We don't have to fight. I don't want to hurt you unnecessarily either."

보스가 결론을 말했다.
The boss made a conclusion.

"네 뒤의 인간들만 넘겨라. 그러면 네 목숨은 보장하지. 어떤가, 우리의 제안이?"
"Only pass on the humans behind you. Then I guarantee your life. What about our proposal?"

대답에 앞서 진우가 되물었다.
Before the answer, Jinwoo asked again.

"나도 하나 묻자."
"Let me ask you one, too."
"좋다."
"good."
"너희들은 누구냐? 어디에서 왔으며 왜 인간들을 죽이려는 거지?"
"Who are you? Where do you come from and why do you want to kill humans?"
"우리는."
"We are."

그때였다.
It was then.
줄곧 미소를 띠던 보스의 얼굴이 한순간 굳어졌다.
The face of the boss, who had been smiling all along, hardened for a moment.
그것도 잠시.
That's for a while.
원래의 표정을 되찾은 놈은 자연스럽게 말을 이었다.
The man who regained his original expression naturally spoke.

"우리는 싸울 필요가 없다. 이쪽도 쓸데없이 피해를 보고 싶지는 않으니."
"We don't have to fight. I don't want to hurt you unnecessarily either."
'뭐지?'
'What?'

진우가 눈살을 찌푸렸다.
Jinwoo frowned.
보스는 마치 허락되지 않은 질문을 받은 게임 NPC처럼 같은 말을 반복했다.
Boss repeated the same thing like the game NPC, which was asked unauthorised questions.

"네 뒤의 인간들만 넘겨라. 그러면 네 목숨은 보장하지. 어떤가, 우리의 제안이?"
"Only pass on the humans behind you. Then I guarantee your life. What about our proposal?"

여유 있는 얼굴.
a relaxed face
자신의 행동이 이상하다는 걸 전혀 눈치채지 못한 표정이었다.
He looked as if he had never noticed anything unusual about his behavior.
뒤의 백귀들도 보스의 이상행동에 아무런 반응이 없었다.
Ice Elves in the back did not respond to the boss's abnormal behavior.

'...'

진우가 상황을 지켜보고 있자, 보스가 독촉해 왔다.
As Jinwoo watched the situation, the boss urged him to do

"제안을 받아들이겠는가?"
"Will you accept the offer?"

진우는 마수들의 정체와 의도를 알아내려고 했었지만 헛수고로 돌아갔다.
Jin-woo tried to find out the identity and intentions of the captives, but returned to nothing.

'그렇다면...'
'Then...'

남은 건 선택뿐.
All you have left is a choice.
대답은 한참 전부터 정해져 있었다.
The answer has been fixed for a long time.

"거절한다."
"I refuse."

진우의 입꼬리가 올라갔다.
Jinwoo's mouth came up.

'그냥 보내 주기에는 너무 탐스러운 그림자를 가지고 있거든.'
'It's too much of a shadow to just send.'

놈을 처치하고 그림자를 가진다.
Get rid of him and have a shadow.
처음 보스를 본 순간부터 마음먹었던 계획을 이제 와서 철회할 생각은 없었다.
From the moment I first saw the boss, I had no intention of withdrawing the plan now.

"나와 내 병사들을 상대로 싸울 작정인가? 이 정도의 수적 열세를 혼자서 극복할 수 있다고 생각하나?"
"Are you going to fight me and my soldiers? Do you think you can overcome this kind of inferiority in numbers alone?"

진우가 씩 웃었다.
Jinwoo grinned.
병사들?
Soldiers?

'너만 있냐? 나도 있다.'
'Only you? Me too.'

그림자 소환.
a shadow recall
시전자의 의지에 따라 진우 그림자 안에 갇혀 있던 병사들이 진우의 등 뒤에서 모습을 드러냈다.
According to the caster's will, the soldiers trapped in the shadow of Jinwoo showed up behind Jinwoo's back.

"으, 으악!"
"Oh, my God!"

이번에도 또 비명은 헌터들 쪽에서 나왔다.
Again, the scream came from the hunters.
윤기중은 자기 옆에 소환된 아이스 베어의 그림자, 그림자 마수병을 보고 질겁하여 엉덩방아를 찍었다.
When Yoon saw the shadow of an ice bear being summoned next to him, he was frightened.

"아, 아..."
"Ah, ah..."

창백하게 변한 멤버들의 얼굴을 보고 있자니 안타깝기도 했지만 지금은 위기 상황.
It was sad to see the faces of the members who turned pale, but now we're in a crisis.
일일이 설명하고 있을 시간 따윈 없었다.
There was no time for explanation.

'뭐, 위기가 아니더라도 설명은 안 했겠지만.'
'Well, even if it was not a crisis, I didn't have to explain it.'

29명의 그림자 병사들.
29 Shadow soldiers.
병사들 앞에 선 진우가 보스를 노려보았다.
Jin in front of the soldiers looked at the boss.

"이제 누가 더 열세지?"
"Who's better now?"

드디어 보스가 적의를 보였다.
The boss finally showed hostility.

"...잔재주를 부리는구나. 좋다, 원이라면 죽여 주지."
"... you play tricks. Okay, I'll still kill you even if you have an advantage."

보스가 양쪽 허리춤에 차고 있던 단도 두 개를 빼 들었다.
The boss pulled out two daggers on both waistlines.
바라던 바였다.
It was my wish.
진우도 오른손엔 '나이트 킬러'를 왼손에는 '카사카의 독니'를 쥐고서 전투를 대비했다.
Jin-woo also prepared for battle by holding the "Night Killer" in his right hand and the "Kasaka's dog" in his left hand.

'잔재주라.'
'balance'

맞는 말이다.
That's right.
수적으로는 앞설지 몰라도 보스를 잡기엔 화력이 조금 부족했다.
Although it was ahead in number, it was a little short of fire power to catch the boss.
진우도 알고 있었다.
Jinwoo knew.
아마도 보스의 자신감은 거기에서 나오고 있는 것.
Perhaps the boss's confidence is coming out of there.
강력한 원군이 필요했다.
Strong reinforcements were needed.

'강력한 원군이라면...'
'If it's a strong reinforcements...'

하나 있긴 했다.
There was one.
진우의 시선이 힐끔 옆쪽을 향했다. 거기엔 쓰러져 있는 김철이 있었다.
Jinwoo's eyes glanced sideways. There was Kim Chul falling down.

"공격!"
"Attack!"

보스가 외치자 백귀들이 활시위를 당겼다.
The Ice Elves pulled the bow as the boss shouted.

"곰탱이들!"
"Bearman!"

진우는 마수병들을 앞에 세웠다.
Jinwoo put the Bearmen in front of him.
푹! 푹! 푹! 푹!
Hook! Hook! Hook! Hook!
크아악!
Aahhhhhh!
화살 세례를 받은 마수병들이 울부짖었다.
The beasts of the arrow howled.
백귀들이 다음 화살을 쏘기 전에 병사들이 달리기 시작했다. 마법병도 캐스팅에 들어갔다.
The soldiers started running before the white spirits shot their next arrow. Magic soldiers also started magic.
진우의 눈이 번득였다.
Jinwoo's eyes flashed.

'내 타겟은 너다!'
'My target is you!'

진우는 발뒤꿈치로 바닥에 떨어져 있던 김철의 장검을 김철 쪽으로 밀어 주고서 튀어 나갔다.
Jinwoo sprang up, pushing the Kim's long sword, which was on the floor with his heel, toward Kim.
시선이 고정된 곳은 백귀들의 보스. 보스도 진우가 오기를 기다리고 있었다.
The spot where the gaze is fixed is the boss. The boss was also waiting for Jinwoo to come.
두 사람이 가진 네 개의 단검들에서 끊임없이 불꽃이 튀었다.
The flames were constantly splashing on the four daggers of the two men.
캉! 캉! 카강!
Caen! Caen! Kajang!
그림자 병사들과 백귀들간의 백병전도 개시했다.
Shadow soldiers and elves also started a battle.

고명환이 박희진을 돌아보았다.
Ko Myung-hwan looked back at Park Hee-jin.

"저... 우리도 도와야 하는 거 아닐까요?"
"Well ... do not you think we should help?"

박희진이 고개를 저었다.
Park Hee Jin shook her head.

"이건 우리가 낄 수 있는 싸움이 아니에요."
"This is not a fight we can take part in."

거대한 검은 괴물이 손톱을 휘둘러 대고, 부서진 검은 병사들이 금방 원상태로 돌아오고, 상급 마수 백귀들의 검과 화살이 난무하는 전장.
A battlefield in which a giant black monster swings his nails, broken black soldiers return to their original condition immediately, and the sword and arrows of a superior elite elves.
'여기서 B, C급인 우리가 뭘 할 수 있겠어?'
'What can we do here, B and C?'

허락된 것은 기도뿐.
Only prayer is allowed.
박희진은 긴 머리의 백귀와 아슬아슬하게 싸우고 있는 진우를 가슴 졸이며 바라보았다.
Park looked at Jin-woo, who was struggling with a white long-haired elf.

"크윽!"
"Cough!"

진우의 입에서 신음이 나왔다.
A moan came from the mouth of Jinwoo.
과연 상급 던전의 보스!
The boss of the senior dungeon!
비등해 보이는 싸움이었지만 진우만 몸 곳곳이 찢기고 베이는 중이었다.
Although it was an uphill battle, only Jin Woo was being torn and cut.
이대로 3분이나 더 버틸 수 있을까?
Could I hold on for three minutes like this?
병사들의 재생이 계속되면서 마나도 급격하게 떨어지고 있었다.
Manas were falling sharply as the soldiers were revived.
이윽고 마법병의 주문이 완성됐다.
Soon the cast of magic soldiers was completed.
백귀들의 한복판에 배구공보다 훨씬 큰 불덩어리가 떨어졌다.
In the middle of the snow field, a ball of fire feel much larger than a volleyball.
쿠아앙-!
Cuaang-!
레벨업 된 마법병의 힘이었다.
It was the power of a level-up magic soldiers.
고막을 뒤흔드는 강렬한 폭음에 김철의 정신이 돌아왔다.
The powerful blast that shook his eardrums brought Kim back to his senses.

"으음..."
"Uhm..."

김철이 고개를 들었다.
Kim Chul looked up.
캉! 캉! 퍼엉-!
Kang! Kang! Pueong!
흐릿한 시야에 무시무시한 백귀들의 모습과, 백귀들에 맞서 싸우는 검은 병사들이 보였다.
There was a hazy view of the Ice Elves and shadow soldiers fighting against each other.

'뭐지... 이건?'
'What... what is this?'

어떻게 된 일인지는 잘 모르겠지만 자신이 왜 여기 누워 있는지는 잘 알고 있었다.
I don't know what happened, but I knew why I was lying here.
뒤통수를 내려쳤던 손!
The hand that hit the back of my head!
뒤에서 들리던 목소리!
The voice come from the back!

'그 목소리는 성진우였다!'
'That voice was Sung Jin-woo!'

정신을 차리고 나니 수치심과 증오심에 손끝이 부들부들 떨려 왔다.
When I came to my senses, I was shaking with shame and hatred.
마침 손끝에 장검의 손잡이가 잡혔다.
Just at the tip of my hand, the handgrip of the long sword was held.
어차피 백귀들에게 포위당했다면 살아나갈 방법은 없었다.
If they were surrounded by Ice Elves, there was no way to survive.
그렇다면 적어도.
At least.

'성진우 그 새끼 숨통은 내가 끊어 놓고 만다.'
'Sung-jin, I will cut off your breath.'

비열한 눈빛에 진우의 뒷모습이 비쳐졌다.
The look of Jinwoo was reflected in his mean eye.
...찾았다!
...found!
놈은 백귀 하나와 싸우느라 뒤쪽을 전혀 신경 쓰지 않고 있었다.
He was not paying any attention to the back while he fighting against a Ice elf.
이건 기회였다.
It was an opportunity.
김철이 벌떡 일어섰다.
Kim Chul stood up.
그리고 달려 나갔다.
And ran out.

"으아아아-!"
"Uh-ahhhhh!"

다가오는 김철의 기척에 진우는 속으로 쾌재를 불렀다.
In the upcoming Kim Chul's presence, Jinwoo sang a delight inside.

'그래, 너라면.'
'Yes, if it's you.'

진우는 김철을 믿었다.
Jinwoo believed in Kim Chul.
전력을 다해 달리던 김철이 진우의 목을 노리고서 있는 힘껏 장검을 휘둘렀다.
Kim Cheol, who was running with all his might, slashed his sword hard, aiming at Jinwoo's neck.

"뒈져라!"
"Get lost!"

앞에는 보스가, 뒤에는 김철이.
The boss in the front and Kim Cheol in the back.
꼼짝하지 못할 상황에서 진우가 외쳤다.
Jinwoo shouted when he was stuck.

"이그리트!"
"Igris!"

기다리고 있었다는 듯 그림자에서 튀어나온 이그리트가 김철의 검을 쳐 냈다.
Igris, who came out of shadow as if he had been waiting, pushed out Kim's sword.
채앵!
CHAEIN!

"아니!"
"No!"

김철의 눈이 커졌다.
Kim's eyes grew bigger.
핏발 선 눈!
Bloody eyes!
하지만 그가 무슨 말을 채 하기도 전에 이그리트의 검이 가슴 깊숙이 박혔다.
But before he could say anything, Igriss's sword was pierced deep in his heart.
puug!
검은 가슴으로 들어가 등을 뚫고 나왔다.
It went into his chest and broke through his back.

"커억!"
"Coughing up blood Sfx"

진우는 급히 뒤로 빠졌다.
Jinwoo jumped back.

'김철이라면 이렇게 나올 거라고 믿었다.'
'I believed Kim Chul would come out like this.'

자기감정에 따라 앞뒤 생각하지 않고 움직이는 사람. 짧은 시간이었지만 김철을 파악하는 데는 충분했었다.
a self-conscious person It was a short time, but it was enough to catch Kim.
진우를 노려보는 김철.
Kim Cheol looking at Jinwoo.

"너... 너..."
"You... You..."

김철은 그 말을 끝으로 숨을 거두었다.
Kim Cheol died at the end.
이그리트가 보스를 막아서는 사이 물러선 진우가 쓰러진 김철의 그림자에게 명령했다.
While Igriss was blocking the boss, Jin-woo, who stepped back, ordered Kim Chul's shadow, which collapsed.

"일어나라!"
"Get up!"

그러자.
Let's do that.
으아아아아-
Aaaaaaaaaaaa-
묵직한 비명 소리와 함께 그림자에서 커다란 손이 튀어나왔다.
A heavy scream and a big hand came out of the shadows.

Chapter 62[OK - 51]

그림자 병사들의 빠른 접근!
Shadows soldiers quick approach!
하지만 아이스 베어의 성난 손짓은 그림자 병사들의 움직임보다 훨씬 더 빨랐다.
However, the angry gesture of the ice bear was much faster than the movement of the shadow soldiers.
부웅!
Booong!
콰직!
Kwartt!
후려치기 한방에 그림자 병사 하나가 완파됐다.
A shadow soldier was crushed by a blow.
칠흑의 갑옷 안에 들어 있는 게 그림자가 아니라 사람이었다면 사지가 분리되었을 만한 끔찍한 공격이었다.
It was a terrible attack in which the limbs would have been separated if they were human, not shadow.
'흠...'
'Hm...'

진우가 눈살을 찌푸렸다.
Jinwoo frowned.

'역시 무리였나?'
Was it too much?'

힘으로 보나 덩치로 보나 그림자 병사들이 상대하기에 아이스 베어는 조금 과한 적이기는 했다.
Icebear was a bit overkill for the shadow soldiers to deal with the force of the big boy.

그런데.
by the way
놀라운 일이 일어났다.
A surprising thing happened.

'헉!'
' Oops! '

진우의 눈이 커졌다.
Jinwoo's eyes grew bigger.
아이스 베어의 앞발에 맞아 가슴이 찢겨진 병사가 쓰러지기 직전 검은 연기가 변한 것이다.
The black smoke changed just before the soldier collapsed after being hit by an ice bear.
슈와악- -
Shuwaak- -
검은 연기는 한걸음 떨어진 곳에서 다시 뭉쳐지며 원래의 모습을 되찾았다.
Black smoke reassembled from a single step away and regained its original form.

'좋아!'
'Okay!'

진우의 얼굴이 밝아졌다.
Jinwoo's face brightened.
언데드.
Undead.
잠깐 잊고 있었던 그림자들의 본질을 다시금 깨닫는 순간이었다.
It was a moment when I realized the true nature of the shadows that I had forgotten for a while .
자신의 공격이 무위로 돌아간 걸 보고 흥분한 아이스 베어가 크게 울부짖었다.
The excited ice bear cried out loudly as he saw his attack returning to failure.

"크어어어!"
"Grauer-!"

그렇게 보병들이 시간을 끌어주는 동안 후열에 배치된 마법병들이 주문을 완성시켰다.
Thus, while the infantry pulled time, the rear guard completed the order/casting .
쾅!
Bang!
콰광!
Quagwang!
마법병들의 손끝에서 떨어져나간 불덩이가 여기저기 폭발을 일으켰다.
Fireballs falling from the magical soldiers' fingertips caused explosions everywhere.
폭발에 휩쓸린 그림자 병사들은 바로 바로 재생되는 반면에, 불이 붙은 아이스 베어들은 고통에 몸부림치며 괴성을 질러댔다.
Shadows caught in the explosion were immediately revived, while the burning ice bears struggled and roared.

"그어어어!"
"Oh, dear!"
"크워!"
"Cough!"

그림자 병사들은 빈사상태가 된 곰들에게 다가가 지체 없이 검을 쑤셔 박았다.
Shadow soldiers approached the dying bears and stomped them into the sword without delay.
푹!
Whoo!
푹!
Whoo!
기세등등하던 아이스 베어들이 보병과 마법병의 협공에 쓰러져 가기 시작했다.
Ice bears, who were struggling, began to fall into the pore of infantry and magical soldiers.

'이야...'
'Yi...'

진우는 흥미진진한 눈빛으로 상황을 관망했다.
Jinwoo looked at the situation with an exciting eyes.
보병의 빠른 재생력.
the rapid regeneration of infantry
마법병의 강한 화력.
the strong firepower of a magic
그림자 병사들의 전력은 기대이상이었다.
The shadow soldiers' strength exceeded expectations.
아이스 베어들은 병사들의 기세에 쫓겨 동굴 입구 쪽까지 밀려났다.
The ice bears were driven to the entrance of the cave by soldiers.
그렇게 전투가 끝나나 했는데.
I thought the battle was over.

"크어어어억!"
"Grauer!"

고막을 뒤흔드는 포효와 함께 입구 쪽에서 거대한 무언가가 모습을 드러냈다.
A huge thing appeared at the entrance with a roar shaking the eardrum.

'저건..."
'That...'

지켜보고 있던 진우의 눈도 휘둥그레졌다.
Jinwoo's eyes widened as well.
근처에 있는 아이스 베어들보다 머리 하나가 더 높고 어깨도 배로 넓은 녀석이었다.
He had one head higher than the nearby ice bears, and his shoulders were twice as wide.

"크어!"
"Grauer"

놈의 한 방에 그림자 병사들을 휩쓸려나갔다.
The shadow soldiers were swept away by his blow.
붕-!
Bunge-!
콰지직!
Quagjjik!
병사들의 재생 속도가 파괴되는 속도를 따라잡지 못했다.
The soldiers' pace of regeneration failed to catch up with the pace of destruction.
콰직!
Quacky!
퍼걱!
Puff!
진우가 신음성을 흘렸다.
Jinwoo groaned.

"우두머리의 등장인가..."
"Is it the appearance of the chief?"

무리가 있으니 개중에 대장격인 놈이 있을 것이라고 예상은 했었다.
There were crowds, so I had expected that there would be a chief in the crowd.
그런데 놈은 예상보다 더 크고, 더 강했다.
But he was bigger and stronger than expected.

"크워어어!"
"Kuer!"

거대한 아이스 베어는 그림자 병사들을 닥치는 대로 분쇄하며 무서운 속도로 접근해 왔다.
The giant ice-bear has been approaching his shadow soldiers at breakneck speed.
그때 메시지가 떴다.
Then a message appeared.
띠링.
Ring sound.

[마나를 모두 소모하여 그림자 병사의 재생이 불가능해집니다.]
[It consumes all the mana, making it impossible for the shadow soldier to regenerate.]
[마나를 모두 소모하여 그림자 병사의 재생이 불가능해집니다.]
[It consumes all the mana, making it impossible for the shadow soldier to regenerate.]

뭐?
What?
황급히 마나량을 확인했더니 시스템의 경고처럼 마나가 고갈되어 있었다.
When I checked the mana in a hurry, the mana was depleted like a warning from the system.

[MP: 0 / 1860]

마나가 소진된 이후 파괴된 그림자 병사들은 재생되지 않고 그림자로 변해 진우의 그림자 속으로 돌아왔다.
After the mana was exhausted, the destroyed shadow soldiers were not recreated but turned into shadows and returned to the shadow of Jinwoo.
병사들을 재생시키기 위해선 시전자의 마나가 필요했던 것이다.
The soldier needed the owner mana to revive.

'그놈의 마나...'
'My mana...'

이걸로 지능을 찍어야 할 이유가 하나 더 늘었다.
There is one more reason to invest in intelligent.
진우가 옆머리를 긁적거렸다.
Jinwoo scratched his head.
우두머리 아이스 베어의 등장으로 전세가 한 번에 역전되어버렸다.
With the arrival of the chief, Ice Bear, the tide turned around.
하지만 진우에겐 아직 여유가 있었다.
However, Jin-woo still had time to spare.

'저쪽에서 대장이 나왔으면 이쪽도 대장이 나가야지.'
'If there's a captain out there, l'm out too.'

팔짱을 끼고 있던 진우가 그림자 병사들의 대장격을 불러냈다.
Jinwoo, who was arm-in-arm, called out the shadow soldiers for a general strike.

"이그리트!"
"Igris!"

진우의 그림자에서 떨어져나간 그림자 하나.
a shadow that fell from the shadow of a pendulum
그 그림자 위로 갈기 달린 투구를 쓴 기사가 스르륵 올라왔다.
The knight with a grated helmet climbed up over the shadow.
진우가 턱짓했다.
??? The rain quivered.
이그리트는 진우에게 고개를 숙이더니 우두머리를 향해 뛰쳐나갔다.
Igris lowered his head to Jinwoo and ran toward the leader.
탁, 탁, 탁, 탁!
Tak, tham, thump, thump!
우두머리가 휘두르는 앞발을 피해 가랑이 사이로 슬라이딩. 다리 옆을 지나치며 허리춤의 단검을 빼내 힘줄까지 베었다.
Sliding between the crotch to avoid the front paws that the leader wields. Passing by his legs, he pulled out a sword from his waist and cut its tendon.

"크어어!"
"Grauer-!"

그게 시작이었다.
That was the beginning.
장검을 뽑아 든 이그리트는 쏟아지는 공격을 요리조리 피해 가며 우두머리의 몸뚱이를 깎아나갔다.
Igris, who drew the sword, dodged the boss's body while dodging the pouring attack.
힘줄, 발톱, 앞발, 다리, 우두머리의 신체가 살아 있는 고깃덩이처럼 하나씩 썰어졌다.
The bodies, tendons, claws, front feet, legs, and head were cut one by one, like meat pits.

"허..."
"Huh..."

이그리트의 현란한 동작에 진우가 감탄을 터트렸다.
Igris's flamboyant gesture left Jin-woo with admiration.
마지막은 머리였다.
The last one was head.
스걱!
Scram!
목에서 분리된 거대한 아이스 베어의 머리.
the head of a giant ice-bear separated from its neck
땅에 닿기 전에 머리를 낚아챈 이그리트가 성큼성큼 걸어오더니 진우 앞에서 무릎을 꿇었다.
Igris, who grabbed the chief's head before reaching the ground, strode and knelt in front of Jinwoo.

턱.
*Chin*
머리는 진우 발아래 놓였다.
The head was laid at the feet of Jinwoo.
마치 군주에게 바치는 진상품처럼.
Like a genuine knight to a monarch.
진우는 머리를 조아리고 있는 이그리트를 바라보며 마른침을 꿀꺽 삼켰다.
Jinwoo gulped down his dry mouth, staring at Igris, who was tightening the head.

'이그리트가 처음부터 검을 썼으면 내가 이길 수 있었을까?'
Could he have won if Igris had to use his sword from the beginning?'

우두머리를 잃은 아이스 베어들은 우왕좌왕하다 병사들에게 썰렸고, 전투는 곧 마무리 되었다.
The ice bears, who lost their leader, were thrown down by the soldiers, and the battle was soon.
결과는 대만족이었다.
The result was satisfying.

[그림자 보병 Lv.2]
[Shadow Infantry Lv.2]
[그림자 보병 Lv.3]
[Shadow Infantry Lv.3]
[그림자 보병 Lv.2]
[Shadow Infantry Lv.2]
[그림자 마법병 Lv.2]
[Magic soldiers Lv.2]

병사들의 레벨이 착착 올라가 있었다.
The soldiers were rising steadily.
그림자 병사들 자체가 스킬인 덕분에 진우도 레벨이 3계단이나 올라있었다.
Thanks to the skill of the shadow soldiers themselves, the level of Jinwoo has risen by three.
그리고 무엇보다 마음에 드는 점은.
What I like most is.

"일어나라."
"Get up."

[그림자 추출에 성공했습니다.]
[Shadow extracted success.]
[그림자 추출에 성공했습니다.]
[Shadow extracted success.]
[그림자 추출에 성공했습니다.]
[Shadow extracted success.]

새로운 친구들을 얻을 수 있다는 점이다.
You can get new friends.
크어어어-
Crocodile-
우두머리 아이스 베어를 포함해, 진우가 선택한 아이스 베어 몇 마리의 그림자에서 검은 덩어리들이 기어 올라왔다.
Black clumps climbed from the shadows of several of the ice bears chosen by Jin-woo, including the chief of the ice bear.
'갑옷을 입은 곰이 나올 거라고 생각했는데...'
'I thought a bear in armor would come out...'

예상과는 달랐다.
It wasn't what I expected.
'그림자 마수병'이라는 이름이 달린 녀석들은 언뜻 곰의 형상을 하고 있긴 하지만 고체인지 기체인지 모를 괴물들이었다.
The creatures with the name "Shadow Marcy Bottoms" were monsters that looked like bears, but could not be solid or gas.
숨을 헐떡이는 녀석들의 어깨 위로 계속해서 검은 수증기 같은 것이 피어올랐다.
Over and over their breath, something like black water vapor continued to rise.

'비쥬얼이 좀 안타깝긴 해도 아이스 베어의 그림자들이다.'
'It's a little bit sad, but it's the shadow of an ice bear.'

그 힘, 그 파괴력.
its destructive power
분명 쓰임새가 있을 터.
It must be useful.
그때였다.
It was then.
그워어어-
Grauer-
어디선가 들리는 곰 울음소리에 진우의 귀가 움찔했다.
Jinwoo's ears fluttered at the sound of a bear crying somewhere.
그것도 한두 마리가 아니다.
There are only one or two of them.

'곰밭이 여기가 끝이 아니라 이 말이지?'
'This is not the end of the bear field.'

오늘은 너무 늦었으니 내일은 저쪽으로 한 번 가볼까.
It's too late today, so let's go there tomorrow.
진우 얼굴에 환한 미소가 떠올랐다.
A bright smile came over Jin Woo's face.

***


"으아아악!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"
"커헉!"
"Kuck!"

동료들의 비명.
the screams of one's colleagues
김철은 눈을 부릅떴다.
Kim Cheol opened his eyes.

'이럴 리 없다!'
'No way!'

내가.
I am
이 김철이가 실패를 하다니!
Kim Chul Lee, who is failing!
백호 길드의 엘리트가 될 몸이었다.
I was the elite of Baekho Guild/white tiger guild.
정예가 되기 위해 특수 교육까지 받았다.
I even received special training to become a elite member.
그런데 실패라니?
But failure?
인정할 수 없었다.
I couldn't admit it.
추위와 허기를 견디며 설인 떼와 싸웠다.
Anh chiến đấu chống lại sự tĩnh lặng của cái lạnh và đói.
다음은 눈거인들이었다.
The following were snow giants.
2명을 잃긴 했지만 눈거인들도 잡았다.
We lost two people, but we killed them, too.
던전 공략은 순조로워 보였다.
The dungeon seemed to go smoothly.
하지만.
but
하지만!
But!
눈거인들과는 혈투가 끝나자마자 기다렸다는 듯 백귀들이 후방에서 들이닥쳤다.
Ice elves rushed from the back as if they had waited as soon as the fight with the snowmen ended.
이 요망한 것들은 공격대의 체력이 다하기를 어디선가 숨어서 지켜보고 있었던 것이다.
These elves have been hidden somewhere to watch the attacker run out of shape.
이어진 것은 학살.
The killing continued.
순식간에 헌터들은 궤멸당했다.
In no time the hunters were destroyed.

"대, 대장!"
"Bo.., boss!"

쓰러진 헌터가 피 묻은 손을 김철에게 뻗었다.
Falling Hunter reached out to Kim Chul his bloodstained hand.
김철은 주춤주춤 뒷걸음질 쳤다.
Kim shuffled back.
어느새 나타난 백귀가 헌터의 등 위에 올라타 단검으로 목을 그었다.
Suddenly, a Ice elf appeared on the back of Hunter and severed his head with a dagger.

"커, 커걱!"
"keo, keogeog!"

웃으며 목을 긋던 백귀가 김철을 올려다보았다.
A smiling Ice elf looked up at Kim Chul.
김철은 비명을 질렀다.
Kim Chul screamed.

"으, 으아아아아!"
"eu, euaaaa!"

그리고 뒤도 돌아보지 않고 숲쪽으로 뛰었다.
Then he ran towards the forest without looking back.
숲에 아이스 베어가 있다고?
There's an ice bears in the woods?
보이지 않는 곰들은 눈앞에 있는 설인들과 눈거인, 백귀들에 비하면 우스운 존재였다.
The invisible bears were funny compared to the snowmen and the snow-capped, Ice elves
김철은 젖 먹던 힘까지 다해 달리고 또 달렸다.
Kim ran and ran as fast as he could.
멀어지던 김철의 등을 노려보던 백귀들이 활을 들었다.
Ice elves aiming at Kim's back as they were moving away raised their bows.
조준하고, 쏘려는 순간.
At the moment before they shoot.
머리카락이 허리까지 오는 긴 머리의 백귀 하나가 팔을 들어 저지했다.
A long white-headed elf with hair reaching its waist held up its arm.
백귀들은 활을 내렸다.
The Ice elves lowered their bows.

'...'

장발이 손가락으로 김철을 따라가라는 사인을 보내자, 백귀들의 신형이 하나둘 스르륵 시야에서 사라져갔다.
When the long hair signalled to follow Kim with its fingers, the new figures of the Ice elves disappeared from the scene of snow.


***


김철이 수풀 속에서 튀어나왔다.
Kim Chul came out of the bushes.

"헉, 헉, 헉."
"Huck, Huck, Huck."

숨이 턱 끝까지 차올랐다.
His breath rose to the top of his chin.
헌터들을 도륙하며 조소를 보내던 백귀들을 떠올리면 아직도 오금이 저려왔다.
Fear still fell when I think of the Ice elves who used to stealth and laugh at hunter.
문득 손을 내려다보았다.
I suddenly looked down at my hand.
얼어붙은 손에 감각이 희미해졌다.
The sensation of the frozen hand has faded.
발끝은 감각을 잃은 지 오래였다.
The toes have long lost their senses.
지금 상태로는 제대로 싸울 수 없었다.
I couldn't fight properly as it is.

'이 추위 때문에... 아니, 며칠째 굶지만 않았어도 그렇게 당하지는 않았을 거다.'
'This cold... No, if I hadn't eaten for a few days, I wouldn't have suffered that."

김철은 끝내 공격대의, 아니 자신의 실패를 인정할 수 없었다.
Kim finally couldn't admit the striker's failure _ or his own.
중얼거리던 김철이 고개를 들었다.
Kim Chul, who was muttering, looked up.

'그런데, 어디까지 들어온 거지?'
'But where did I get it?'

김철은 주위를 두리번거렸다.
Kim looked around.
어디선가 희미하게 피 냄새가 났다.
There was a faint smell of blood somewhere.
김철은 그 냄새를 따라갔다.
Kim Chol followed the smell.
멀지 않은 곳이었다.
It was not far.
나무 사이를 지나 시야가 탁 트인 장소가 나오니 믿기 힘든 광경이 펼쳐져 있었다.
There was an incredible view through the trees, as the open-air spot appeared.

'이럴 수가!'
'This is crazy!'

동굴 주변에 스무 마리가 넘는 아이스 베어들의 사체가 있었다.
There were more than 20 bodies of ice bears around the cave.
어쩐지 영역 표시가 없는 나무를 찾아보기가 힘들었는데도 아이스 베어가 안 보이더라니!
It was hard to find a tree without a landmark but I couldn't see an ice bear!

"뭐지?"
"What?"

김철은 사체들을 살폈다.
Kim examined the bodies.
모든 사체에 칼자국이 낭자했다. 군데군데 불탄 자국도 있었다.
The whole body was covered with stab wounds. There were some burns.
김철은 머릿속에 성진우와 성진우를 따라간 헌터들이 떠올랐다.
Kim Cheol thought about the hunters who followed Sung Jin-woo.

"설마... 그 녀석들이 아이스 베어를?"
"Don't... those guys kill ice bears?"

아니.
No.
김철은 고개를 저었다.
Kim Chul shook his head.
검상을 입은 아이스 베어들은 모두 장검에 베여 있었다.
All the blackened ice bears were cut down by a sword.
그가 아는 한, 숲으로 간 멤버 중에 장검을 쓰는 헌터는 없었다.
As far as I knows, none of the members who went to the forest were wearing a sword.

'E급 헌터 둘은 아예 무기도 안 들고 있었고.'
'E-level hunters were armeless at all.'

냉정히 말하자면 그들이 이곳에서 살아남았을 가능성 자체가 없었다.
To put it bluntly, there was no chance that they would have survived here.
그렇다면 남은 결론은 하나.
Then, there is one more conclusion left.

'이 근처에 백귀들이 있는 건가!'
'Is there Ice Elves around here?'

가슴이 철렁 내려앉았다.
My heart sank.
간신히 백귀들을 따돌렸다고 생각했는데, 이렇게 가까운 곳에 머물고 있을 줄이야.
I thought I had managed to get rid of the Ice Elves, but I didn't think I'd stay this close.
잔뜩 겁먹은 김철은 숨을 죽이고 숲 쪽으로 돌아갔다.
Frustrated, Kim Chul went back to the forest holding his breath.
좀 더 멀리, 좀 더 빠르게.
Further, faster.
어서 백귀들의 영역에서 벗어나고 싶었다.
I wanted to get out of the white-snow field.

***

그 무렵.
At that time.

"우어어엉!"
"ueoeoeong!"

아이스 베어가 비명을 지르며 쓰러졌다.
An ice-bear collapsed screaming.
그림자 병사들이 달라붙어 숨통을 확실하게 끊어 놓았다.
Shadows clung to them and snapped their breath.

[레벨이 올랐습니다!]
[Level up!]

"좋아."
"Good."

진우는 또 다른 곰밭에 있었다.
Jinwoo was in another bear field.
여기 도착한 지 5일 째.
It's been 5 days since I arrived here.
곰밭만 세 곳을 돌았다.
There were only three bear fields.

'이제 숲에 있는 곰들은 다 처리한 거 같네.'
'Now I think I've got all the bears in the forest.'

그동안 레벨도 많이 올랐다.
The level has also increased a lot.
병사들의 레벨도 마찬가지.
The same is true of the level of soldiers.
곰 하나에 둘이 붙어야 간신히 제압이 가능했던 병사들이 이제 혼자서도 곰과 1:1 승부가 가능했다.
Soldiers who were able to control only two bears can now compete with the bear alone.
만족스러웠다.
I was satisfied.
병사들의 능력치가 올라감에 따라 아예 역할도 분리했다.
As the capabilities of the soldiers increased, they separated roles at all.
저장할 수 있는 그림자는 30개.
There are 30 shadows that can be saved
28명은 싸우고 1명은 마정석을 줍고 1명은 고기를 챙겼다.
Twenty-eight fought, one picked up Mana stone, and one packed meat.
손가락 하나 까딱하지 않고 사냥과 전리품 획득을 할 수 있으니 무척이나 편했다.
It was very comfortable to hunt and win trophies without even lifting a finger.

'더 이상 마수들의 기운이 느껴지지 않는다.'
"I can't feel the energy of the beasts anymore."

숲의 마수들은 얼추 다 정리한 것 같았다.
The forest monsters seemed to be extinction.
그렇다면.
If then,

'슬슬 보스를 잡으러 가야 하나?'
'Do I have to go catch the boss?'

던전 브레이크까지 아무리 못해도 1개월. 최악의 경우에는 수개월이 걸릴 수도 있다.
No matter how bad you can get to the Dungeon brake, it can take a month, and in the worst case, months.
언제 열릴지 모르는 게이트를 마냥 기다리고 있을 수만은 없었다.
I couldn't wait for the gate to be opened.

'그 건방진 엘프 놈도 잡아야 되고.'
'I've got to catch that arrogant elf, too.'

감히 마수 주제에 헌터를 도발했던 놈.
a man who dared to provoke Hunter with a charm.
그놈의 건방진 미소가 아직도 아른거렸다.
His cheeky smile should be smashed.

***

어디선가 나는 고기 냄새.
the smell of meat from somewhere
킁킁.
Sniffing.
김철은 허기로 예민해진 코를 씰룩거렸다.
Kim's nose was twitching with hunger.
레드 게이트에 갇힌 뒤로 먹은 거라곤 토끼 한 마리가 전부.
The only thing I ate since I was stuck in the red gate is a rabbit.
음식 냄새에 절로 침이 넘어갔다.
The smell of food made my mouth water.

'꿀꺽.'
'gulp.'

어쩌면 백귀들이 식사를 하고 있을지도 모른다.
Perhaps the Ice Elves are eating.

'그래도 놈들이 소수라면...'
'But if they're a minority...'

충분히 제압하고 음식을 뺏을 수 있다.
It is enough to overpower and take away food.
그런 결론을 내릴 정도로 배가 고팠다.
I was hungry enough to come to such a conclusion.

'가 보자.'
'Let's see.'

김철은 최대한 발소리를 줄이고 조심스럽게 냄새가 나는 쪽으로 다가갔다.
Kim Chul lowered his steps as much as he could and approached the smell carefully.
그리고 마침내.
And finally.
수풀 속에 숨어 진우와 함께 떠났던 다른 헌터들을 발견했다.
He hid in the bushes and found other hunters who left with him.
김철의 눈이 커졌다.
Kim Chul's eyes dilated.

'아니?'
'No?'

고기 냄새는 그들이 피운 모닥불에서 나오고 있었다.
The smell of meat was coming from their campfire.

'저치들이 어떻게 아직 살아 있지?'
'How are they still alive?'

김철이 눈을 번득였다.
Kim Cheol glanced in the snow.
E급 헌터 하나가 보이지 않았다.
No Class E Hunter was seen.

'자신 있게 앞장 서 걷어니 제일 먼저 죽었나 보군.'
'You must have been the first to die since you took the lead yourself.'

그건 당연한 일이었다.
It was a matter of course.
하지만 당연하지 않은 장면이 눈앞에 펼쳐져 있었다.
But there was an unusual scene before me.
이걸 어떻게 해석해야 하는가?
How should I interpret this?
뭔가 이상했다.
Something was out of the ordinary.

'가만, 저 녀석들 복장이...?'
'Wait, those clothes ...?'

방한용 옷과 담요, 천막, 그리고 여러 장비들이 눈에 들어왔다.
I saw the clothes, blankets, tents, and other equipment.
철저히 준비된 상태였다.
It had been thoroughly prepared.

'대체 이게 어떻게?'
'How the hell is this?'

당황하던 김철의 시선이 한곳에 멈추었다.
Kim Cheol-soo's bewildered gaze stopped at one place.
고기 옆에 놓인 빵.
bread beside the meat
그들은 식량까지 완벽히 갖추고 있었다.
They were perfectly equipped with food.
당혹감이 분노로 바뀌어 갔다.
Embarrassment turned into anger.

'이놈들이...'
'They're...'

뿌득.
Sour.
김철은 이를 갈았다.
Kim grated his teeth.
저렇게 많은 물품들을 준비해놓고 자기네들끼리만 가져갔단 말인가.
They prepared so many items and took them by themselves.

'내 손이 얼지만 않았어도, 아니 배만 든든히 채웠어도 아이스 엘프들쯤은 충분히 상대할 수 있었다.'
"If my hands hadn't frozen, or had my stomach full, I could deal with the ice elves enough."

레이드팀에게 고루 지원했어야 할 물자를 자기들끼리만 가로챘다고 생각하자 더 이상 참을 수가 없어졌다.
When I thought they were the only ones to steal the supplies ,which should have applied to raid, I couldn't stand it any longer.
김철은 수풀을 뛰쳐나갔다.
Kim jumped out of the bushes.

"너희들!"
"You guys!"

박희진이 깜짝 놀라 일어섰다.
Park Hee-jin stood up in amazement.

"김철? 당신이 어떻게 여기에?"
"Kim Chul? How can you be here?"

하지만 거짓말로도 반갑다고 말하기는 힘들었다.
However, it was hard to say that it was welcome even to lie.
김철의 시선이 너무 살기등등했기 때문이다.
This is because Kim's eyes were so gaunt.
김철은 적의를 숨기지 않았다.
Kim Chul did not hide his hostility.

"우리 공격대는 식량과 장비가 모자라서 던전 공략에 실패했다. 그런데 너희는 어떻게 그만한 식량과 장비를 갖추고 있는 거냐?"
"Our offensive team failed to attack the dungeon due to lack of food and equipment. But how do you have such food and equipment?"
"그건..."
"It..."

박희진은 말을 잇지 못했다.
Park Hee-jin couldn't speak.
여기서 진우 이야기를 꺼냈다간 김철의 분노가 진우에게 향하게 된다.
If you bring up Jinwoo's story here, Kim's anger will turn to Jinwoo.
진우는 은인이나 마찬가지였다.
Jinwoo was like a benefactor.

'처음부터 저 인간이 성진우를 바라보는 눈빛이 예사롭지 않았어.'
"From the beginning, that human being looked at Sung Jin-woo was not unusual.'

박희진은 입을 다물었다.
Park Hee-jin kept her mouth shut.
그러자 김철이 눈을 부라렸다.
Then Kim Chul 's eyes turned.

"나도 너희 전부가 공범이라고 생각하진 않는다. 누가 이것들을 숨겼지? 누구 짓인지만 밝히면 나머지는 눈감아주겠다."
"I don`t think you are all accomplices either. Who hid these? I'll overlook the rest if I reveal who did it."

김철의 목에 힘줄이 돋아났다.
A tendon broke out in Kim's neck.

"누가 장비를 독차지하고 동료를 사지로 몰았느냐 이 말이다!"
"Who took all this equipment?"

고함 소리가 숲 속에 메아리쳤다.
A cry echoed through the forest.
김철은 피를 봐서라도 기어코 동료를 배신한 죄를 물을 생각이었다.
Kim intended to bite his friend for the crime of betraying him, even for the sake of his blood.

"셋을 세겠다. 그때까지 누구 짓인지 불지 않으면 너희 모두 공범이라고 생각하겠다."
"I'll count to three. If you don't tell me who did it by then, I'll think you're all accomplices."

한송이가 박희진의 소매를 잡아 당겼다.
Han Song tugged at Park's sleeve.

"어, 언니..."
"Oh, sister..."

박희진이 한송이를 안아 주었다.
Park Hee-jin hugged Han Song.
고명환과 윤기중도 식은땀을 흘리며 침을 꿀꺽 삼켰다.
Ko Myung-hwan and Yoon Ki-joong also gulped down.
김철은 A급.
Kim Cheol is in grade A.
여기 있는 모두가 힘을 합쳐도 감당할 수 없는 상대였다. 하지만 어느 누구도 진우의 이름을 꺼내려 하지 않았다.
Everyone here was an unaffordable opponent. However, no one wanted to name Jin-woo.

"하나."
"One."

김철은 허리에 차고 있던 검을 뽑아냈다.
Kim pulled out the sword he was wearing around his waist.
스르릉.
seuleuleung-

"둘."
"Two."

여전히 하급 헌터들은 입을 열 기미가 보이지 않았다.
Still, lower-level hunters showed no sign of opening their mouths.
하급 헌터 따위가 말을 안 들어?
You don't listen to, lower-class hunters?
그 점이 김철을 더 화나게 만들었다.
That made Kim even angrier.

'이것들이 나를 뭐로 보고...'
'What do they see me as...'

김철의 눈이 살기로 번들거렸다.
Kim 's eyes bundled up to live.
가장 먼저 이 여자.
This woman is the first one.
공격대를 배신하고 하급 헌터들과 떠난 박희진을 먼저 죽인다.
I will kill Park Hee-jin, who betrayed the offensive team and left the lower-class hunters.

'그래, 뭔가 꿍꿍이가 있으니까 공격대를 떠났던 거지.'
'Yes, she left the assault because he was up to something.'

그렇게 밖에 생각할 수 없었다.
I could only think so.
박희진 앞에 선 김철이 마지막 카운트를 내뱉었다.
Kim Cheol, who stood in front of Park Hee-jin, spat out the last count.

"셋."
"Three."

박희진이 눈을 꼭 감았다.
Park Hee-jin closed her eyes tightly.
그때.
then

"넷."
"Four."

빡!
Bam!
뭔가에 뒤통수를 세차게 얻어맞은 김철이 얼굴을 바닥에 처박은 채로 몇 미터를 미끄러졌다.
Kim, who was hit hard in the back of his head, slipped for several meters with his face on the floor.
헌터들의 눈이 커졌다.
Hunter's eyes dilated.

"공대장!"
"Army Captain!"

어찌나 세게 때렸는지 진우의 손바닥에선 아직도 김이 모락모락 피어오르고 있었다.
Jin-woo was still steaming in the palm of his hand.
진우가 어이없다는 듯 말했다.
Jinwoo said, "Are you dumbfounded?"

"동료들을 진짜 사지로 내몬 게 누군데 헛소리를 하고 있어?"
"Who are you talking about when you're really throwing your co-workers out of your arms?"

Chapter 60[OK]

In front of the red gate.
Baek Yoon-ho's expression was dark.
Ahn Sang-min explained briefly about Sung-Jin-Woo, but the anxiety did not decrease.

"In the end, isn't it just a guess?"
"Yes, I"

Ahn Sang-min admitted it with a mild heart.
It's true that there's nothing proven yet about Sung-Jin-Woo.

'You would have understood if you saw Sung-Jin-Woo Hunter.'

Sung-Jin-Woo was definitely different.
It was frustrating for Ahn himself that he could not explain it in words.
Baek's gaze glanced toward the gate.

"Then you'll only have to trust Kim Chul.."

It was then.

"Kim will have no problem."

There was one more person in the place with Baek Yoon-ho, Ahn Sang-min, and Hyun Ki-cheol.
Three heads turned to him at the same time.
First Manager of Administration Department.
He looked at three people and said to himself,

"I prepared Kim Chul Hunter for a strong education so that He could prepare for any accident."

Originally, the second administration department was responsible for the education of the new Hunters, while those above A-rank were directly trained by the first administration department.
Those who enter the elite squad are different from the starting point.
With Joo Sang-chan's strong confidence, Baek Yoon-ho's face was slightly softened.

"How was Kim Chul Hunter's performance?"
"It's very good, and the fighting power itself does not lag behind at all when compared to the current raid members of the Baekho guild."
"Really?"

Baek-Yoon-Ho managed to get his smile back.
Kim Chul A-rank
an indispensable item among the higher Hunters
If only he, the leader of the squad, could lead the B-Rank Hunter well and clear the Dungeon!
Although some C-rank hunters were avoided, the recovery of higher-level hunters was more important than anything from the perspective of Baekho Guild.

'Luckyly, Kim Chul Hunter's ability is outstanding...'

The dying fire of hope revived.
Joo Sung-chan, who reassured the president, looked at Ahn Sang-min next to him.

"Now that I hear of it, E-rank Hunter showing a possibility of re-awakening? That's what you said."

Joo Sung-chan's eyes were pathetic and sniffed.

"Our Kim Chul Hunter will be much more useful than that without a foundation.""

Ahn Sang-min's expression hardened.
a blatant disregard
However, he did not raise his voice and blush.

'You'll find out who's right...'

At the same time as if they had promised, they looked up at the red gate where Hunter was locked up.
Woo Woo-woo-
The red light of the Red Gate seemed even more ominous today.


***


"You're not E-Rank, are you?""

a daring question of a woman
Sung-Jin-Woo said.

"Then let me ask you one question."
"Anyway."

Sung-Jin-Woo's eyes were directed at Kim Chul and the Hunter around him. They were making plans before the departure.

"How can you be so calm as a freshman?"
"The first thing we're being taught is that 'anything can happen in a dungeon.' "

Anything can happen in a dungeon.
Sung-Jin-Woo was the person who knew more than anyone here.

"We're all educated. Especially, that person over there, Kim Chul, got a special education. I'm going to join the white tiger elite."

I'm not afraid of dungeon because I'm educated.
Sung-Jin-Woo was absurd. And I realized that these are no different from one another.
verbal education, somehow what's the use of it? 
you do not know the dread of the dungeon.

'Knowing and experiencing are totally different.'

Especially when it cracks a little bit with the confidence that you know the dungeon, the perforated dam breaks down and the water will fall down as it pours in.
It is difficult to accumulate, but it is a moment to fall down.
No wonder I could see the future of Kim Chul's team.
Even though they looked fine on the outside, they were also beginners.

"You haven't answered yet."
"Yeah?"

Sung-Jin-Woo's gaze shifted back to a strange woman.

"The answer to my question."

The question is whether E-rank is right.
She was more tenacious than I thought.

"Why should I tell you that?"

Despite his blunt remarks, Park Hee-jin, a woman, clenched her fists and cheered.
Having met many people, Park knows what that reaction means.
It was confidence.

'I was right too!'

There was another reason to be sure.
When I was educated at Baekho Guild, I saw quite a bit of the movements of senior hunters.
But Sung-Jin-Woo's hand.
I had never seen a fast move like a hand when catching an arrow.

'I could barely see what happened with my own eyes.'

she was a former athlete and a combat team, so she was confident in his physical vision.
Park Hee-jin's eyes were shining.

'This man is at least A-Rank.'

No, maybe...
Park asked again to get the answer she wanted.

"Can not you just tell me, please?"
"No work."

That's it.
Sung-Jin-Woo turned his head.
He did not want to be swayed by questions and answers, and most of all, Kim Chul was approaching.
Kim Chul and Sung-Jin-Woo's eyes met.

"We are."

Kim's voice was so thick and low that it sounded very threatening no matter what his actual intentions were.

"We go towards the road."

They are not just here to report their route of travel.
Kim's eyes asked what you were going to do. with a hidden meaning not to follow us

'...'

Sung-Jin-Woo looked around and looked back at Kim.

"We go to the forest."
"... good luck."

I think you guys need good luck.
Sung-Jin-Woo saved his words.

"You too."

The Sung-Jin-Woo team moved towards the forest.
As soon as he saw their image disappear into the bushes, Kim burst into a grin that he had endured.

"Idiots."
"Yeah?"
"Look over there."

Kim untied his arm and pointed to the trees in the forest.
There are not a few.
Everywhere his fingers pointed, there was a scratch of a giant animal.

"Well... that!"
"It's a bear."
"Ice bear!"

Species of the bear that are particularly dangerous among the beasts!
It was their demarcation.
Kim Chul's hunters kicked their tongues when they saw it.

"Dune"
"I would rather have been waiting here."
"One E-rank in the foreground is going to kill everyone in their heart."
"Did you have a good education with e-rank?"

Kim Chol laughed at the forest.

That's right. E-Rank.

only...
Suddenly, Kim's smile disappeared.

'That team has mostly C-rank, even B-rank...'

But why was he thinking of Sung-Jin-Woo as the captain?
There was no discomfort until I thought it was just strange.
Kim shook his head.
'...what do you think?'

He's going to die soon.
It was more urgent to think about their work than the weak people who could not afford it.
Who can die, but who should live?
Kim Chul turned towards the road and gave her strength to his neck.

"Start."

***


Sung-Jin-Woo took the lead.
However, Park Hee-jin soon blocked Sung-Jin-Woo's path.

"What?"
'Are you crazy?"

Sung-Jin-Woo put his arms around him, not hiding his unpleasant looks.
The following words were warnings to choose carefully.
Park Hee-jin lowered her voice to see if Sung-Jin-Woo's intentions were heard.

"I'm sorry, but I have to say this."

Park Hee-jin's fingertips pointed to a tree nearby.

"Do you see that?"

a huge nail mark on a tree

"There! There!"

All the trees around them were badly damaged to the point where it was hard to find a healthy tree.

"It's all over the bear area," said the bear's habitat!

A dog or a monkey is weaker than a tiger or a lion.
The same was true of monsters.
A tiger or lion was much more difficult to deal with than a dog or monkey.
What about bears?
Among them, white bears were one of the strongest carnivores.
Now the Sung-Jin-Woo team has set foot in the place where the beasts based on such a terrible beast.
Park Hee-jin had a passion.

"We have to go back now! Before the Mighty One!"

Tsk.
Sung-Jin-Woo clicked his tongue.

'What?'

Park thought Sung-Jin-Woo would be angry, surprised, naive, or respond to one of the three.
But expectations were wrong.
He was obviously the one who made a hasty decision, but he looked at this with a pathetic look.

'Why are you looking at me like that?'

Park Hee-jin's face blushed with shame.

"What, what?"

His voice rose again.
Sung-Jin-Woo sighed deeply and opened his mouth.

"It's hard to find trees without area markers, so there isn't only one or two ice bears, right?"
"well, we have to go back soon ..."
"That's why we're moving into the forest."
"Yeah?"

Park opened her eyes in a circle.

'Even if you do this, you do not understand.'

Sung-Jin-Woo was forced to tell the story.

"While I'm in the woods, I just have to worry about Ice Bear."
"Ah!"

So then Park Hee-jin realized what Sung-Jin-Woo wanted to say.
The fact that there are many ice bears means there is no Ice Elf to hunt them.
He meant that he didn't have to worry about the appearance of stronger beasts.

'Why didn't I think of it...'

Park Hee-jin was embarrassed to shout out loud in front of Sung-Jin-Woo.
She was reddened to the neck and could not lift her face.
Sung-Jin-Woo kicked his tongue inside.
The reason why the dungeon is scary is that it does not know what will come out.
If you don't know your enemy, you won't be able to cope.
But isn't the enemy of this place visible?

'A beast in the form of a bear.'

I don't know how strong the ice bears are, but it was clear that they were weaker than the two elves just before.
They were dressed in bear skins.
So I chose the forest.
I planned to level up in the forest and look for an opportunity while observing the movements of Kim Chul team and the bear
It was the safest way.

'...?'

Suddenly, Sung-Jin-Woo looked suspicious.

"Why is your face so red?"

Park Hee-jin's face was too red.
Park Hei-jin did not even look up and said with a mosquito-only voice.

"Chu ... It's cold."
after-

Deep sighing, Sung-Jin-Woo called the store and searched through the list of available items and chose thick fur and winter shoes.
a belt ring

[Item: Warm Hair Clothes]
Difficulty in Access: None
Category: Miscellaneous
It's very warm clothes.
- Price: 10 Gold

[Item: Warm Gloves]
Difficulty in Access: None
Category: Miscellaneous
It's very warm when you wear it.
- Price: 10 Gold

10 golds of fur and shoes.

Unlike items with options, general merchandise without options did not cost much money.
No, it was very cheap compared to the gold you had.

[The amount held: 431,930 gold]

'How can I still pay for junk...'

Sung-Jin-Woo chose to buy.
Sung-Jin-Woo bought all five of them with 100 gold.
Thur-
Five clothes and five pairs of shoes appeared under the feet.
Of course, four people except Sung-Jin-Woo opened their eyes.

"Ugh!"
"What, what? A space magic?"

Park was surprised and raised her head.
Sung-Jin-Woo spoke calmly whether or not someone else was surprised.

"Pick one by one."

The moment I tried to pick up the nearest fur coat, Hanson, who was nearby, suddenly caught my sleeve.

'...?'

Sung-Jin-Woo and Han Song-yi, who faced eye contact, spoke with difficulty.

"Oh, what is it, sir? you've caught an arrow earlier, and you've taken out clothes with a strange magic."

Sung-Jin-Woo has a crease in his forehead.
If this continues, questions would continue to pour out, and it would become so annoying.

'Yes, let's be clear on this occasion.'

Sung-Jin-Woo spoke firmly.

"You're here, so I'll take care of you. Instead."

Sung-Jin-Woo's voice dropped.

"Don't ask me anything."

Sung-Jin-Woo looked up and looked back at Park and other hunters.

"You're welcome. Don't ask me anything, and don't ask for anything."

And he continued.

"If you don't like me, you can just leave. I won't catch you."

The two male hunters, who followed Park Hee-jin, not Sung-Jin-Woo but B-Rank Hunter, took turns looking at Sung-Jin-Woo and shook their heads violently.

Chapter 61[OK]

And one more.
There was a reason why Sung-Jin-Woo chose the forest.

'Status window.'

[Name: Sung-Jin-Woo]
[Level: 51]
[Job: Shadow Monarch]
[Title: Who overcomes adversity (External 1)]

Sung-Jin-Woo, who called out the window without a noticeable sign, changed the title from "The One Who Overcomes adversity" to "The Wolf slayer."

[Title: Wolves slayer(External 1)]
This is a title given to a hunter who is good at catching wolves. When dealing with beast monsters, all capabilities increase by 40%.

Why should I refuse to use this fraudulent buff?
a belt ring

[The animal monster is here.]
[Name effect applied.]

Sung-Jin-Woo's smile came to his face after confirming the added stats.

'Good.'

It was then.
The hunters screamed.

"And bear!"
"Ice Bear!"

The ice bear, who smelled human, came around in a lounger.
an enemy intruding into territory
It can't look good in the eyes of an ice bear.
Greller-
The ice-bare slowly lifted its heavy body with its icy transparent teeth.
A body that blocks the view!

"Ah..."

It looks similar to the polar bear, but it is nearly twice the size, and its chest was decorated with the symbol of magic.
It's big!
A heavy roar!
After hearing the ice-bearer cry, Hunter froze for an instant except Sung-Jin-Woo.
Park Hee-jin's hair was wrinkled.

'What is it? All you have to do is worry about the ice bear!'

Are you talking about that monster, you know?
I almost fell for Sung-Jin-Woo's fluent tongue.
As soon as I saw the ice bear in real life, I was sure.

'I should not have come into the forest again!'

Feeling threatened, Park Hee-jin stepped forward and shouted at the party.

"I'll draw their attention, so look at the gap, yum!"

Park Hee-jin, who was attracted to her neck with strong grip, had to step back a few steps to avoid falling.
Sung-Jin-Woo stood in front of me.

"What, you!"

Sung-Jin-Woo pointed to Park Hee-jin with his finger.

"I'm telling you, I'm going to kill them alone."

you can not take away my experience.
For Sung-Jin-Woo, these bears were good nutrients to take in order to deal with the true enemy.

"Hah?"

Park Hee-jin couldn't hide her embarrassment.

'Are you trying to catch them alone now?'

Two other magic-hunter hunters stopped casting and made a foolish look.

"No matter how strong you are, he's a master dungeon!"

Ignoring Park Hee-jin's horny voice from behind, Sung-Jin-Woo trudged in front of the ice bear.

'Let's not use a dagger.'

The blood is going to be messed up.
Sung-Jin-Woo returned the two daggers habitually summoned back to the warehouse.
Instead, he clenched his fist.

'We originally promised to go on a field trip, but now we're in a critical situation, you understand?'

Sung-Jin-Woo and Ice Bear's eyes met.
Big!
The ice-bear swung its arm  like a lightning bolt.
Shh!
But they divided the air.

'Although it's big, it's fast.'

Sung-Jin-Woo, who jumped over the head of an ice-bear, fully understood why they was notorious.
'still...'

I could feel that my previous level-up was not in vain.
Just before the ice-bear lifted its head, Sung-jin-Woo punched it on the forehead with all his might.
Boom!
The head of an ice-bear stuck on the floor.
The ice-bear, whose skull had been smashed, pulled out his tongue and did not move again.

[Level up!]

That's right!
I expected that it was time for the level to rise, but I thought it was a good idea to stop Park Hee-

"Well ... what is your identity?"

When I heard a trembling voice, I turned around and saw the faces of four people who were speechless.
Sung-Jin-Woo scratched his side of the head.

'I do not like this situation and I've nailed it before.'

If you see a shocking scene of human memory, it will not last long.
Unfortunately, Sung-Jin-Woo emphasized once more.

"I said don't answer questions. If you don't like my style, go away."

Sung-Jin-Woo's fingers pointed in the direction where Kim's team was.

"Go back again."

Park Hee-jin's face came back as if she had regained consciousness.

"I saw how to catch the ice bear. Do you think I'm going to leave you?"

Park Hee-jin's heart was pounding.
It seemed better than Kim, but I knew soon that it was a big hit that I could not think of.
She quickly came to a conclusion.
You have to follow Sung-Jin-Woo to get out of here safely.
In the meantime, Sung-Jin-Woo just hit the athlete with a sincere heart before he came out of his mouth to go his own way.

"Sung-Jin-Woo, please be the leader. I will follow you as your will."
'I did not ask for a request ...'

After a moment of thought, Sung-Jin-Woo nodded.
Thinking about the future, it seemed to be convenient in many ways.
Park Hee-jin looked back.
A student named Han Song didn't have to ask because Sung-Jin-Woo brought him anyway.
Then, there are two left.

"You two agree, right?"

Hunters, who were suddenly caught in the spotlight, looked alternately at the body of an ice-bear and soon nodded fiercely.

***


In front of the red gate again.
The ceremony that Hyun Ki-cheol made on his forehead stole the sweat with his handkerchief and confirmed the clock.
Baek Yoon-ho asked.

"How long has it passed?"
"It's been about three hours."
"Three hours ... three days have already passed inside."

Baek's voice was heavy.
Of the four people gathered here, only Baek Yoon-ho had ever entered the red gate.
Baek Yoon-ho, one of S-Rank's Hunters representing the Republic of Korea.
For him, too, Red Gate was not the right place.
Baek Yoon-ho recalled his memories of the time with a bitter heart.

"What's really scary about the Red Gate is that it's a completely different world."

It was a rare experience of S-rank Hunter's Red Gate. Of course, Ahn Sang-min, Joo Sang-chan, and Hyun Ki-cheol have focused on three people.
Baek Yoon-ho said.

"It could be a desert over 60 degrees above the gate, a jungle lizard with poisonous pests, or a cold snowy place with a statue on your toes."

gulp.
The three men swallowed the dried saliva at the same time.

"No one knows if it's a red gate or not until we get inside one gate. So what can you prepare?"

Today was the same.
The normally-looking gate quickly turned red as the hunters entered.

"The sun's rays of the sun, the skin burns, the venomous insects all day and night, the skin rots in the biting cold. Those who are so weak are dying."
"My God..."

Hyun Ki-chul screamed as if he could not believe it.

"You have to fight with them in such a bad environment."

Just listening to the story gave a gloomy atmosphere.
But that's not the end.

Let`s say that we have adapted to the environment where we have arrived. So from now on, you have to save food."

You have to get your own food for at least a few weeks or months.
It was not a normal thing.

"There is only one magic compass that I can trust in the harsh environment and frequent hunger."
Mana compass indicating where there is strong mana.
Seeing the Mana compass and visiting the boss to get rid of him was the only way to get out of the red gate besides the Dungeon Brake.

"Just look at that needle and think that it lasts for days, weeks, and months. You don't want to go crazy?"

Three people nodded their heads.
If ordinary people, such as himself and not Hunter, fall into such places, they will not be able to survive a single day, if not for a boss.

"You said it's been three days, right?"
"Yes."

Baek Yun-ho looked miserable when he answered.

"Maybe by now all the Hunter below C-rank is dead."

Kim Chul A-rank
Even if he is good, it is impossible for the A-Rank Hunter to protect his entire team.
Wouldn't you know if Hunter, at least about S-Rank, was next to them?
So

"Now we have to pray for our senior hunters to come back safely."

Conclusion from experience.
In Baek's head, Hunter under C-rank was already dead.


***


dinner time
A large chunk of meat was browned over the bonfire.

"Bear meat, it's a bit tough, but it's worth it.""
"Would you like some more?"
"Oh, thank you."

Ko Myung-hwan served a well-cooked piece of ice-bear meat on a plate served by Yoon Ki-jung.
Two C-rank Hunter from the Sung-Jin-Woo team.
Park Hee-jin and Han Song are not as good as men, but they continue to eat filth.

"I'd like some pepper, please."
"How about salt?"
"The liver is fine."

Everyone seemed to be used to the dungeon.
from bonfire to blanket to tent
There was nothing particularly inconvenient about it.
No, it even looked cozy in some ways.
Koh turned around and said.

"Don't you think the attacks on ice bears have decreased a bit these days?""

Park Hee-jin replied.

"That's because he dried the seeds. That's right."
"When he saw a bear as an enemy in his previous life, they saw his eyes, and when he saw them, they was scared and scared."

The name of Sung-Jin-Woo was suddenly become the president of the public.
Suddenly, Sung-Jin-Woo felt the blankness of Park Hee-jin and looked around.

"So where did the public officer go?"

Yoon Ki-joong, who was concentrating on the meal with a view to bury his face in a dish, did not raise his head until then.

"he said he were going to look around for a while?"

Huh
Park Hee-jin made a face said, "I can't stop him."

"I do not want to be alone in such a high-end dungeon ... Is not it really scary?"

Yoon Ki-jung grinned.

"Don't you think he'll be all right?"
"Well, he hit the boss with his bare hand, the senior lady, Ice Bear."

Kwon Myung-hwan received the message of Yun Ki-jung.
And he continued.

"But... Speaking of which... How much of a rank do we have to have in order to defeat such an incredibly bear?"

Tuk
All of a sudden, everyone was speechless.
Everyone was curious.
I just can not get out of my mouth because I'm afraid of being kicked out.

"...let's finish eating."

Everyone nodded at what Park Hee-jin said.


***


Sung-Jin-Woo, who was rummaging through the forest, came out of the bushes.

'It's somewhere around here.'

I could feel a number of ice bears somewhere.
I started tracking ice bears in the back last night.
It was because I realized that ice bears were constantly coming in the same direction.
Sung-Jin-Woo's eyes were shining.

'I found it!'

Dozens of rocky caves were visible over the bushes. And more than one famine was detected in each of the caves.
There was no need to use the senses.
Even now, before my eyes, ice bears were either entering or exiting the cave.
Roughly speaking, the number is over 30.
It was literally a bear field.
Sung-Jin-Woo's mouth went up a long way.
I came alone on purpose and didn't even have eyes around me.
It's a perfect situation to try shadow soldiers.
I was waiting for this moment.

'Get out.'

When they called the shadows inside, soldiers in black armor surrounded him without a sound.

"You know it's your first move, right?"

As most impressions are determined in the first round, your impressions will be determined in the first appearance.

'...'
'...'

The shadow soldiers stood upright without a trace.
OK.
Sung-Jin-Woo grinned.
Tsk.
The ice bears that smelled Sung-Jin-Woo began crawling out of the cave one by one.

'It looks like it's ready.'

Sung-Jin-Woo pointed to ice bears.

"go."

As soon as the horse was finished, the shadow soldiers glided out.
