Kill The Hero – Chapter 185 – Reason to Hide (1)

One of the secrets to humanity’s prosperity over the years was the fact that it didn’t stop progressing, even in the face of despair .

It was the same when the world turned into a game overnight .

Everyone despaired, but they nevertheless continued advancing in some way .

The same was true with Isaac Ivanov and the so-called ‘Hellhound Disaster’ .

But it wasn’t just despair .

[The act of terrorism was carried out by the same group that killed Kim Woo-jin!]

[The Japanese government declares war on terrorism!]

People moved to find and deal with the cause of the disaster .

[What kind of dungeon is the Hellhound Dungeon?]

[The Hellhound, the Demon of 4 Floors!]

They also began researching ways to clear the Hellhound dungeon .

However, this wasn’t to predict the probability of Isaac Ivanov’s team clearing the dungeon .

-Can’t Isaac Ivanov’s party clear the Hellhound dungeon? It’s a similar situation to the Hatchling, isn’t it?

ㄴThis is different from the time with the Hatchling dungeon . At that time, Isaac Ivanov intended to hunt it alone .

ㄴ Right, Isaac Ivanov chose to attack that dungeon because he was confident . On the other hand, this time was an accident .

ㄴ The worst possible accident .

Because even the average person understood that the difference between 3 Floor and 4 Floor dungeons wasn’t just the addition of one floor .

Nevertheless, the reason for the research and discussion on how to clear the Hellhound dungeon was simple .

[The world vows to avenge Isaac Ivanov!] (TL: again)

[The most valuable dungeon in the world appears . ]

The moment Isaac Ivanov died, the Hellhound dungeon would become the most valuable dungeon in the world .

That was why everyone in the world became interested in the Hellhound dungeon, and asked many questions to the Japanese government .

How many times had the Hellhound dungeon been challenged?

What was the number and level of the players who attacked the dungeon?

The Japanese government answered these questions easily .

“At the time of the discovery, another party had already been attacking the dungeon, after that attack failed, we tried to attack the dungeon once more, but that failed as well . There were no other attacks after that . ”

They said that there were only two attacks and those who participated weren’t particularly special .

This was definitely a positive factor .

Rather than them trying to clear the dungeon ten times and failing every time .

The problem was that the Japanese government’s announcement wasn’t true .

“Even when the nuclear plant exploded, those guys weren’t so forthcoming with the information, were they?”

Of course, Oh Se-chan would not believe the Japanese government’s announcement so easily .

He had already investigated the Hellhound dungeon beforehand .

And it didn’t take him long to figure out .

“That’s right . Otherwise, they wouldn’t have hidden the dungeon away for three years . ”

The fact that the dungeon had appeared in 2021, three years before .

“There’s nothing strange about hiding it . ”

Of course, it wasn’t unusual for them to hide the Hellhound dungeon away .

After all, the value of an A+ rank Dungeon was quite high after all .

“But to hide something like that in Tokyo is quite hard . ”

The problem was the price they would have had to pay to keep it hidden .

Hiding a dungeon wasn’t as simple as building a tent to hide the dungeon gate .

In that case who would take care of the monsters that might escape from the dungeon?

“Right, and since it’s a 4 Floor dungeon…there might be monsters that cannot be dealt with by normal weapons . ”

And as Oh Se-chan’s subordinate had pointed out, there was a high probability of the appearance of monsters that couldn’t be dealt with by ordinary guns .

This meant that they would need to at least prepare more powerful weapons like artillery and tanks .

“And they have to hide that too . ”

The cost of hiding it would be much higher than just managing it in the open .

And to do that for three years rather than a day or two far exceeded the scope of common sense .

“We know that well don’t we? How much that would cost . ”

“We know that very well . ”

The price of that was something that Oh Se-chan and his men, who went by the name Dungeon Brokers, would know better than anyone .

“But they did it anyway…so there must be a reason . ”

In other words, Oh Se-chan couldn’t understand why the Japanese government would pay such a price for an A+ dungeon .

And there was one more person who shared his thoughts .

“Kim Woo-jin also feels the same way . ”

…

Players who attacked 4 Floor dungeons usually failed on the fourth floor .

But that wasn’t always the case .

There were also situations where players failed 4 Floor dungeons on the third floor .

“Because everyone tried to save as much of their strength as possible for the final floor . ”

In preparation for the hard challenge, everyone would want to conserve their strength and hide their trump cards unless absolutely necessary .

It wasn’t strange that they’d feel that way .

“Especially for 4 Floor dungeons where the boss monster is named in the dungeon’s title . ”

If they knew what monster they would have to face on the fourth floor, they couldn’t help but feel that way .

It was the same for the Hellhound dungeon .

Players who entered the Hellhound dungeon would have their minds filled with the Hellhound as soon as they arrived on the third floor .

“It’s important to conserve strength . ”

Of course, this wasn’t a foolish decision .

In fact, it was a very logical and rational decision .

“But in this case, it’s the problem . ”

But as always, there were exceptions for everything .

“Because the damage can be minimized as long as you’re willing to make sacrifices and endure some of it . ”

But what if they felt it was possible to conserve more power by using a situation where the majority would live at the expense of a few?

What if they could be saved by sacrificing a few?

Then the accidents would begin to happen .

“It’s suicide to make such a decision against the boss monster of the third floor, an Ogre . ”

Moreover, when dealing with monsters like Ogres, such decisions were bound to have many accidents .

-Excuse me .

Then Lee Jin-ah’s voice was heard in the ear of Kim Woo-jin who was wearing the Grim Reaper’s mask .

The voice had been delivered through the skeleton that Kim Woo-jin was connected to .

-Why are you doing that while I’m fighting against the Ogre? Huh?

In addition, Lee Jin-ah was currently locked in combat with the Ogre boss .

-Also when will I be getting reinforcements?

In fact, he was fighting alone .

He was going against the Ogre without the support of any Skeleton Soldiers except for the small Goblin Skeleton that Kim Woo-jin was using to watch over the situation .

In such a situation, Kim Woo-jin’s mention of sacrifice made Lee Jin-ah incredibly dissatisfied .

Hearing Lee Jin-ah’s words, Kim Woo-jin spoke through the Skeleton Soldier’s mouth .

“Ogres are monsters that are hard to find . But they were also difficult to handle when you do encounter them . Battle experience can’t be bought with money so you should take this opportunity to learn everything you can . ”

-What?

“Endure it . ”

Kim Woo-jin’s words scared Lee Jin-ah greatly .

-What the hell are you saying? I thought you said you would launch an attack after I grabbed the Ogre’s aggro .

Kim Woo-jin shrugged slightly .

“That was a lie . ”

-A lie?

“Because you need to gain experience fighting against Ogre’s and you never would have faced the Ogre alone if I didn’t tell you that . ”

-Fuck, of course, I wouldn’t! It’s an Ogre! An Ogre!

It was then .

-Ugh, fuck . Fuck!

Lee Jin-ah stopped talking since he had to focus completely on the fight .

-Roar!

Soon after, the Ogre’s roar was heard .

It seemed the Ogre had learned Lee Jin-ah’s expression because of his swearing .

Kim Woo-jin, who was watching the situation through the skeleton, gave Lee Jin-ah some brief assurance .

“You won’t die, you’re wearing the Nemean Lion’s skin . ”

Of course, there was no answer to his assurance .

But Kim Woo-jin didn’t really care about that anymore .

‘I finally found it . ’

Because he had finally found what he was looking for .

[Anubis’ eyes have opened . ]

The Ogre’s nest and the remains of the players who had come before . That was what Kim Woo-jin had been looking for .
