#5. A man of SS level talent (3)
“… “Is this the boss room?”
Everyone stood there tensely.
The space you enter when you open the door is… .
It was like a palace.
A palace in ancient Greece.
In the middle of the circular space, there was a bedroom covered in black silk.
Moonlight pouring from the dome-shaped ceiling. The moonlight illuminated the bed like a light, giving the entire stone room a grotesque appearance.
“It’s bizarre… . “Is that the final boss lying there?”
In response to Namgung Do-eok’s question, Damdeok looked back at the guild members.
Everyone is very tense.
“Everyone, listen carefully. From now on, we must join forces.”
Quietly and calmly, Damdeok began to explain the strategy.
These were explanations about the only weakness and power amplification of the Minotaur, the strongest creature created by the thunder god Thor.
Everyone held their breath and listened, and Namgung Do-eok also nodded silently. There was even solemnity in the eyes of some of the crew.
Especially within the guild, the eyes of the ‘guides’ were shaking wildly… .
‘Nonsense. Not only the path of the labyrinth, but also the boss strategy… .’
‘Even as 4-star hunters, we can do something that takes hours, even days… .’
The young man in front of me was doing it on his own in an hour.
They even felt skeptical about the life they had led.
‘… … .’
“Then let’s get started right away.”
“I understand. “Don’t do that.”
Starting with Damdeok’s words, the operation was carried out secretly, but as quickly as possible.
Four quick-footed unit members each grabbed an end of the black silk of the bedroom, kicked off the wall, and flew up.
Sigh!
As the black silk rolled up covered the open ceiling, the bright bedroom suddenly became dark.
– Crrrrr… !
The monster crouching in the center of the bedroom slowly raised its head.
A monster with the head of a bull but a human underneath. Minotaur.
– Wow!!
Its thunderous roar filled the stone chamber, and immediately the Minotaur’s angry horns turned towards the front.
“Now is the time!!”
At the same time as Damdeok shouted, the guild members who had already surrounded the bedroom rushed out.
‘It was said that you get strength from the moonlight.’
It was something I overheard in a conversation between unknown gods while toiling in a dungeon.
It is said that the Minotaur’s power is amplified by moonlight.
If the battle continues without blocking the moonlight, the Minotaur’s power will continue to amplify, and eventually the entire dungeon will collapse.
So the priority was to block the bright moonlight pouring in first.
And then… .
“Behind the horns! “All shooters, aim behind the horns!”
Although it was only for a moment, this area was particularly transparent compared to other places.
The back of the horn is the Minotaur’s only weak point!
“Uracha!”
Namgung Do-eok was the first to charge in with his double axes raised.
Let’s go! Sparks fly from the Minotaur’s horn along with a harsh sound.
“let’s go!”
“Support the guild leader!”
Afterwards, all members of the attack team rushed to the back of the horn.
Kagang! Kaga River! visor!
Attacks pouring in without stopping.
The Minotaur’s body gradually pushed back.
‘also. ‘It will be cleared more smoothly than you think.’
It would be a natural result since he knew his weakness and even blocked the power of moonlight.
There is only one thing left now.
‘Let’s be quiet and not be disturbed.’
With my current skills, it would only be a hindrance.
I quietly moved to a corner of the boss room.
I felt the gaze of the support team members already gathered, but I tried to ignore it.
‘Look, please. I’ve just awakened, but I can’t lie around with the Minotaur.’
Usually, only hunters who specialize in combat step up to attack bosses.
The rule was that the remaining guides, porters, magic stone extractors, etc. should wait in the back to avoid danger.
‘For the support team, even one hit from the boss is fatal.’
And that would be the same for me, who had just awakened.
This is a different problem from lizards, tarantulas, and goblins.
“Tskcha.”
I comfortably took a seat in a corner and uploaded my profile.
“Wow, it looks like a lot.”
There were quite a few skills that came to mind throughout the battle.
It was fun to watch.
[Talent: Swordsmanship talent (SS), martial arts talent (SS)]
[Skills: Combat concentration (S), boxing (E+), dagger technique (E), instantaneous charge (F), counterattack (F)… .]
“hmm? But I’ve never heard of anyone developing a skill called boxing?”
We clearly saw the emergence of ‘jabs’ and ‘uppercuts’, but boxing… .
I tilted my head for a moment and then realized.
“ah! “It’s a combination!”
Fusion of skills.
Skills of the same attribute are combined to evolve into a stronger skill.
It was amazing.
‘This is why talented people become stronger.’
They would have continued to create and fuse skills to obtain more powerful skills.
“It’s a good system.”
Damdeok grinned and closed the profile window.
‘I got two top talents. The skills I will acquire in the future will be much greater than today.’
Whether you like it or not, your life will unfold in a new way.
‘Goodbye to the talentless Yoo Dam-deok!’
“Waaaaaa!!!!”
A shout was heard at good timing.
When I looked up, I saw Namgung Do-eok holding the Minotaur’s horn and riding on top of it.
“It’s over!!!”
At the same time as Namgung Do-eok’s loud cry, the ax blade struck the back of the horn loudly.
– Grrrr!
That was the end of it.
A clear message appeared before everyone’s eyes, and the Minotaur’s huge body collapsed with a loud noise.
Damdeok just stared blankly at the message in front of him.
“Is this a clear message…? .”
Yu Dam-deok. 27 years of talentless life.
It was the first time I cleared a dungeon in my life.
* * *
bright.
As soon as I came outside, my eyes were squinted from the bright sunlight.
‘It’s different from the dark dungeon.’
Dozens, if not hundreds, of voices were heard in a dizzying manner.
“Namgoong Do-eok. “Please say something!”
“I heard that all other raids are lost. Is there a secret to clearing them?”
“Is it completely cleared?”
“How was it possible to clear the raid so quickly with just one raid?”
“Please tell us your thoughts!”
I was out of my mind.
The sunlight pouring down on me was enough to distract me, but with camera flashes popping up everywhere and microphones being pointed at and endless questions being asked, I was completely exhausted before I even took a few steps.
No, honestly, it was impossible to move forward at all.
My eyebrows naturally furrowed.
No, that’s right.
I’ve been fighting hard, but this isn’t a team kill… .
Although I desperately wanted to go quickly and rest comfortably, the reporters had no intention of opening a road.
He looked at the reporters with a look of incomprehension, but the other guild members were calmly staring straight ahead as if they were used to it.
Namgung Do-eok slowly opened his mouth.
“First of all, let me start by telling the people that Seoul is safe. “As of now, the labyrinth dungeon has been completely cleared.”
At those words, cheers and applause erupted from all over.
In response to the enthusiastic reactions of citizens, reporters began to ask questions in more excited voices.
Most of the questions were about how it was possible to clear it so quickly and what was difficult about the large-scale labyrinth dungeon.
Namgung Do-eok cleared his throat for a moment.
And then he slowly opened his mouth.
“It’s all thanks to this young man here.”
The person Namgung Do-eok extended his hand and introduced.
It was me.
‘… … .’
I was embarrassed for a moment.
Numerous cameras and people’s eyes were focused at once.
No, of course my contribution is great, but suddenly… .
“please introduce yourself!”
“How did you help me?”
“Did you know the strategy?”
“This is my first time seeing you, where do you belong?”
“Tell me something!”
A barrage of questions comes in like angry waves.
I looked at Namgoong Do-eok with a look of help, but he just smiled silently.
As if he was also curious about my identity… .
‘This is so difficult.’
Aren’t you a normal person who has just discovered your talent, let alone a hunter?
An ordinary person with no guild or affiliation helped conquer the dungeon? It was obvious that it would be a hassle.
No, it goes beyond that and may raise unnecessary suspicions.
After thinking for a while, I opened my mouth.
“Affiliation and guild are not important.”
Everyone was silent at my words.
Perhaps because it was an unexpected answer, some people were talking amongst themselves.
“The important thing is that we cleared the unprecedentedly deformed dungeon that appeared in the middle of Seoul today, using only our country’s power. “Without any help from any foreign power.”
The reporters’ mouths opened slightly.
They probably think it touched on a sensitive diplomatic issue.
However, the gathered citizens began to be enthusiastic with cheerful expressions.
“Wow! “That’s cool!”
“So what’s important about affiliation? “We’re all Korean kids!”
“The two-block haircut is awesome!”
I scratched my freshly cut two-block hair and looked at people.
Have you ever received so much attention in your life?
Honestly, it was awkward.
But I didn’t feel like I really hated it.
okay,
Just skip it like this.
I’m going to go home now and relax… .
“Well, are you targeting the US military in Korea?”
“Then what do you think about this Hunter Agreement with the United States?”
“Please give us your opinion on the G9’s proposed international hunter issue!”
The reporters seemed to think it was time to rush in like a swarm of bees.
It can’t go on like this.
I made my way through the crowd with a fake smile, like something a celebrity would wear.
‘I don’t know, that kind of thing. What do I know?’
It is a public fact that the U.S. Hunter Bureau has been established at a U.S. military base in Korea.
It is also true that in return for their help, they take away 30% of the dungeon shares.
But what about today?
American hunters, who are said to be able to fly for a long time, spent all their time wandering around without being able to find their way. I don’t know anything about diplomacy, the international situation, the Hunter Agreement, that kind of thing.
I just… .
“I’m Korean. That’s all I belong to.”
He spoke firmly to reporters who kept asking about his affiliation.
It was annoying so I was told to please stay away.
“Oooh! “It’s Ambassador Joo-wook!”
“Corea Power!”
The citizens were so enthusiastic that they even shouted cheers.
Some people even set up human barricades and escorted the way out.
Thanks to this, Damdeok was able to get out of there safely.
* * *
Only after confirming that the subway door was closed did I lean back against the backrest.
Somehow the day is long.
Real-time news was coming out of the electronic display board above.
“Ha, what is that again?”
The face of the person in the video was familiar.
A video I made a while ago about my affiliation as Korean. It was edited briefly and repeated.
What followed was an interview with compliments from hunters who had cleared it together, and an interview filled with cheers from citizens.
As I stared at the screen in bewilderment, a familiar message appeared before my eyes.
[Yoo Damdeok, the lowest level god! The name’s popularity is rising rapidly!]
[Magic power increases depending on the name value!]
“what?”
If it’s divine power… .
It was clearly a word that was listed as a qualification in the gods’ announcement.
‘that’s right. ‘I was able to apply for Thor’s part-time job because he was a non-spiritual officer.’
In other cases, it was not possible to apply due to the limitation of having a minimum physical strength of 1,000 or more.
But what does it mean that the physical strength has increased?
Before I could even realize its meaning, welcome messages came to my mind one after another.
[New announcement has been opened!]
[(Recommended) Job posting that is perfect for you! Apply now!]
