In legends and mythical tales, Dragon’s had always been the most valuable and most difficult prey to hunt .

It was the same after the world transformed into a game .

Among all the monsters that could be found in dungeons, Dragons were considered the most valuable .

However, it was just as hard to hunt as it was valuable .

No, for the players, Dragons could be considered a type of disaster .

There were very few players who deliberately attacked dungeons that had Dragons in them and even fewer who succeeded .

This was why the Dragon Slayer was a legend .

“What’s the probability that Isaac Ivanov will successfully clear the Hatchling Dungeon?”

And it was also the reason that the world turned to him to ask about Isaac Ivanov’s fate .

“Before I tell you the odds, I will tell you the three main reasons why Dragons are so difficult to hunt . ”

The Dragon Slayer kindly answered their questions .

“One is the existence of the Guardian . These Guardians, which dragons create from monsters to protect their lairs, are much stronger than normal monsters . They’re also much better equipped . Some of them even have unique grade items .

Of course, the most troublesome thing about the Guardians is the fact that they are willing to die for their masters . The Hatchling could have as many as two hundred such Guardians . ”

First, he told them about the disaster one needed to overcome before they could even face the Dragon .

“The second is the Dragon itself . It should be noted that most spells will not have an effect, and physical attacks would do almost no damage unless it’s with a legendary item . On the other hand, the destructive power that a Dragon can unleash far exceeds your imagination . Just tapping the ground with its tail would be enough to cause a small earthquake . And when it flies, it is enough to drive you crazy . ”

He then told them about the fact that the Dragon itself was enough to be called a walking disaster .

“But the biggest reason why it’s extremely difficult to hunt Dragons is the third reason . ”

And he also told them something much more terrifying than both of those things .

“Although I am explaining all of this, you will still be unable to understand just how horrifying a Dragon really is . Even if you know all of this information, when you actually come face to face with a Dragon, your mind will go blank . Above all, these explanations of mine are just that, explanations . It’s just like me telling you that a person has two hands and feet . ”

After his explanation, he gave everyone the answer they were waiting for .

“To deal with a Dragon, you need to preserve your troops as much as you’re able . In other words, you need to deal with the Guardians without losing too many people . However, in my opinion, no matter how amazing Isaac Ivanov’s skeletons are, if he were to face a group of Guardians, he would lose at least half of them . And the odds of him defeating the Hatchling in that state…is less than 10 percent . ”

He told them Isaac Ivanov’s odds of success in hunting the Hatchling .

The world was frightened by these words which were basically a death sentence for Isaac Ivanov .

Naturally, after learning that, most of them did not pay much attention to the Dragon Slayer’s next words .

“Of course, if he is able to maintain his numbers after defeating the Guardians, his odds would increase greatly . ”

The Dragon Slayer had also stated the possibility in which he would be able to successfully hunt the Dragon .

…

In a forest being burned by a large fire, two groups faced off against each other .

One was a monster army .

It consisted of a wide variety of monsters, but they all had one thing in common .

They were all well armed .

Roar!

And they all exuded a fearsome aura as they stood in front of a large cave entrance .

Rattle!

The situation of the skeleton army, which faced off against the monster army, was quite similar .

There were many different types of skeletons, they were all well equipped, and they all seemed to be burning with the lust for battle .

There was only one difference between the two groups .

A player stood in front of the army of skeletons .

“Hoo…”

Kim Woo-jin took a deep breath as he stood before his army .

He was holding Percival’s spear in his hands .

He was prepared to fight more fiercely and brilliantly than he had since his return .

This was Kim Woo-jin’s method to reduce the number of skeletons he lost before fighting the Hatchling .

‘It’s been a while since I was on the front line . ’

There was nothing strange about it .

Kim Woo-jin had taken many risks and worked hard to improve his abilities especially for a time like this .

‘Well, I’m kinda tired of killing Guardians . ’

Above all, he had more experience hunting Dragons than anyone else .

Before returning to the past, there was only one person in the world who had hunted Dragons more than Kim Woo-jin, the Dragon Slayer .

In other words, that meant that at this point, the person who had the most experience hunting Dragon’s in this world was no longer the Dragon Slayer, but Kim Woo-jin .

Therefore it was natural for him to have a lot of experience dealing with Guardians .

Naturally, Kim Woo-jin showed no hesitation .

“Let’s begin . ”

Kim Woo-jin immediately began running toward the Guardian army at full speed .

Roar!

The Guardians also began running at Kim Woo-jin .

The first enemies that Kim Woo-jin encountered were three giant Orcs wearing iron armor .

Not only were they large, but the three Orcs in armor also approached him in a formation .

This sight was enough that even a battle hardened veteran might not be able to stop their hearts from quivering .

However, Kim Woo-jin didn’t even pause for a second at the sight of the three .

Without any hesitation, he thrust the spear in his hand three times .

Puk!

And just like that, the spear burst the heads of the three Orcs like watermelons .

However, instead of pausing to admire his handiwork, Kim Woo-jin immediately approached a nearby Ogre Guardian .

Roaaaar!

The Ogre Guardian which had a giant presence and aura that the Orcs could never compare to, approached Kim Woo-jin without hesitation .

Whoosh!

Instead, it quickly swung the giant axe in its hand toward the quickly approaching Kim Woo-jin .

Boom!

The axe hit the ground like an explosive, causing ashes, dirt and rocks to fly up into the air like an avalanche .

Among the items in the air was one Kim Woo-jin .

With one leap, Kim Woo-jin landed on the Ogre’s shoulders and thrust Percival’s spear at its helmet covered head .

Clang!

The spear broke through its helmet, pierced its eyebrows and came out the back of its head .

Thud!

And in that state, the Ogre fell to the ground, causing a cloud of ashes to rise up like a fog .

However, the cloud that was created did not settle .

Instead, it slowly began changing color .

The grey cloud had become a bloody red .

[Goblin Guardian has been afflicted with Blood Poison . ]

[Troll Guardian has been afflicted with Blood Poison . ]

Poison Fog!

It started flowing out from Kim Woo-jin’s body .

‘153 left . ’

The real battle began .

…

Within the huge cave .

Krrr!

The Hatchling, who was laying in the cave, began to stir because of the noise coming from outside .

Krrr…

Of course, although it opened its eyes, it did not pay much attention to the commotion .

Although in Human terms, the Hatchling could only be considered a teenager, its 60 meters long, scale covered body contained power that surpassed common sense .

An apex predator only moved when it was upset or hungry .

The Hatchling closed its eyes again .

It simply waited for its guardians to deal with whatever was happening outside its cave as soon as possible .

However, the commotion did not stop even after a dozen minutes passed .

Krrr!

Eventually, the Hatchling opened its eyes again .

However, the light in its eyes was completely different from before .

The slightly narrower pupils showed that the Hatchling was more annoyed than it had been before .

And since it was upset, it did not hesitate any longer .

After getting up, it began to head outside of the cave .

Thud!

The ground shook after every one of the Hatchling’s furious footsteps .

Thuds!

And when the heavy footsteps came to an end, it meant that the Hatchling had finally exited its cave .

Krrr!

This meant that it could now see its army of Guardians which was close to annihilation, and the group that was slaughtering them .

A weak looking figure could be seen leading the other group .

And at that moment, the Hatchling’s gaze met that figure’s eyes .

They only made eye contact for a short time, but that brief contact was already enough for the Hatchling to know .

This little guy with the needle in his hand was also an apex predator .

And it was in a very dangerous situation right now .

Chak (TL:…sfx…the bane of my existence…)

As soon as it realised that, it spread its wings and prepared to fly .

Without any hesitation, it prepared to use the safest method with which to kill this new enemy .

The Hatchling’s actions were very swift .

Kim Woo-jin, who was far away would also not have a chance to do anything before it got into the air .

Moreover, the Hatchling’s flight speed was astonishingly fast .

Flap!

The Hatchling began flapping its wings a few times .

Fwoom!

At the same time, huge gusts of wind blew everything around it away .

Even if the distance between Kim Woo-jin and the Hatchling was shorter, Kim Woo-jin would not have been able to do anything to stop it from flying .

‘As expected . ’

And of course, Kim Woo-jin knew that .

So he prepared .

“Shiba!”

A card named Lee Jin-ah .
