Kill The Hero – Chapter 209 – Speedy Battle (4)

It had been a month since the terrorist attack on the Esprit Guild in Paris, France .

The chaos caused by the attack didn’t subside, but instead had grown much larger than a month before .

[Will the Special Player Protection Act be passed?]

The reason for this was the Special Player Protection Act .

-This is nonsense! Players already enjoy enough privileges!

-This is like putting a police badge on a criminal!

-They’re getting paid to indulge!

The ordinary citizens raised their opposition, saying that the bill was an excessive benefit for the players .

The same was true for the players .

They too began using any means to protect their interests .

[The Esprit Guild declares indefinite strike until the bill is passed!]

[The French Guild Federation discuss general strike!]

Some players and guilds began pulling out the strike card .

The aftermath of this came sooner and larger than they expected .

[The number of escaped monsters soars!]

[France is in danger!]

It didn’t take that big of a crack for the dam, which had already reached its limit, to break completely .

This fact terrified the non-player citizens .

-The players are on strike so France will be destroyed .

-I think we have no choice but to listen to the players .

-Dammit, listen to the players!

And this horrific situation frustrated the French citizens as well as people all around the world .

After all, if the Special Protection act was passed in France, it was obvious what the players in other countries would ask for .

It was around that time .

[Johann Georg successfully clears dungeon!]

[Johann Georg does what the Messiah Guild couldn’t do!]

[Johann Georg and ten new heroes appear!]

Johann Georg and the Ten revealed themselves to the world by clearing a dungeon the Messiah Guild had given up on .

It was the moment when a new hero had appeared in the turbulent world .

Moreover, the new hero didn’t stand still after appearing .

[Johann Georg and the Ten immediately start attacking another dungeon!]

[The next dungeon is an A- rank dungeon the Messiah Guild gave up on previously!]

[They only rested for one day!]

After only a day’s rest, which was actually more like travel time rather than rest, they immediately attacked another dungeon .

-What was that? They only rested for a day before challenging another dungeon?

-Are they crazy?

-It’s not just dungeons, but dungeons that the Messiah Guild couldn’t clear, right?

-Could Isaac Ivanov even do something like this?

The world was astonished because no other players had ever moved at such a ridiculous pace .

“Is this possible?”

The same was true for Lee Jin-ah .

He was currently reading an article about Johann Georg with a shocked expression on his face .

“Didn’t they say that they’d been in the previous dungeon for a month?”

Taking a break after clearing a dungeon wasn’t just for physical recovery .

Instead, it was the mental recovery that was needed the most .

The stress accumulated after spending such a long time in a dangerous place like a dungeon, wasn’t something that could be gotten rid of by just a few days’ rest .

“Are they insane?”

Lee Jin-ah turned to look at Kim Woo-jin, who was also reading the same article as him .

However, his expression wasn’t the same as Lee Jin-ah’s .

In fact, Kim Woo-jin wasn’t surprised at all .

‘Johann Georg isn’t a person who would get stressed out by a dungeon attack . ’

First of all, the Johann Georg that Kim Woo-jin knew, was a madman .

Rather than getting stressed in a dungeon, it was more accurate to say he used dungeons as stress relief .

‘Nevertheless, it’s different from back then . ’

However, that was only valid when Johann Georg possessed the terrifying combat power that gave him the name King of Undead .

‘I’ve already taken a lot from him . ’

There was no way that Johann Georg, who had already been deprived of many things by Kim Woo-jin, could be as strong as in the past .

In fact, this was part of the reason that Johann Georg had been so silent beforehand .

‘But if he managed to take away the halo’s favoritism for a while…’

Yet in such a situation, he had managed to display a performance like this?

It was clear .

‘It looks like the Messiah Guild supplied him with a lot of items . ’

The amount of items the Messiah Guild completely surpassed the other four top guilds .

Moreover, Johann Georg now had a team of ten people .

‘Enough to fill the inventories of his entire team . ’

The roles of these ten was most likely that of supporters and inventory .

‘And there should be more . ’

Besides that, there should be more players who would also be used as support .

If they used their inventories, then the number of items they had would certainly be enough to completely crush Isaac Ivanov .

‘They might have even opened Lee Se-jun’s vault . ’

It wouldn’t be strange for them to move at such a pace if the Messiah Guild gave them an item that came directly from Lee Se-jun’s stash .

‘Lee Se-jun’s vault…’

When he thought about that, Kim Woo-jin smiled .

And with that smile, he took out his smartphone and sent a message .

Seeing this, Lee Jin-ah couldn’t help but ask with a curious look .

“Who are you texting?”

“The Lightning King . ”

“The Lightning King? What for?”

“Johann Georg’s appearance has filled Isaac Ivanov with competitive spirit . ”

“Competitive spirit?”

“Yes, a competitive spirit strong enough to challenge an A+ rank dungeon for free . ”

Woowoong!

A text message came from the Lightning King, telling them his answer .

[I’ll prepare the stage . ]

Kim Woo-jin smiled when he saw that .

“And nobody in this world hates free things . ”

…

It was very difficult to defend dungeons in the Amazon Rainforest .

There were many monsters there that would make even the most dangerous predators a meal, as well as the Amazon’s unique environment which made even standing an arduous task .

One of the ways was to choose dungeons close to the edge .

The other was to secure the dungeon so that others wouldn’t be able to touch it .

Once a dungeon was found, the finder would leave traces so that they were able to find it, then they would set up traps around it .

“After this is the minefield . ”

And among the traps, the one that was used most frequently was mines .

The installation was simple, the cost per unit was cheap, and most importantly, the effect was good .

This was one of the reasons that the Amazon Rainforest was considered hell .

Of course, even this wasn’t perfect .

“Be careful, others might have left new mines here too . ”

Sometimes, if one’s luck wasn’t good, hostile forces might interfere with their route by placing new mines down .

“Then, before we begin, I’ll give you a debriefing . ”

While the Thunderbird Company’s workers secured the route to the dungeon gate, Roberto spoke to Kim Woo-jin, Lee Jin-ah, and Isaac Ivanov, who he had created using the Alter Ego skill .

“The dungeon we’re about to enter is the A+ rank 5 Floor dungeon, Burning Forest . ”

Together with those words, Roberto handed them the documents he was holding in his hands .

[Burning Forest]

– Floors: 5

– Difficulty: A+

– Maximum number of entries: 299

– Requirements: Level 159 and lower

– Conditions: Defeat the Master of the Burning Forest!

– Reward: Skill Stone(A)

Honestly, not much information could be gathered from the dungeon’s title, but the fact that the reward was a skill stone meant that it wouldn’t be simple .

But that wasn’t bad .

“If a legendary item is found in the dungeon, then it will unconditionally belong to Thunderbird . ”

After all, regardless of what they find in the dungeon, it would belong to Thunderbird .

That was the condition that Isaac Ivanov’s party had to agree to in order to join the dungeon attack .

“We have no objections . ”

Had it not been for that condition, there was no way the Lightning King would have let Isaac Ivanov’s party into the dungeon unless he was stupid .

In addition, Roberto was joining the attack in order to ensure the conditions were fulfilled .

‘Dammit . ’

But from Roberto’s perspective, this wasn’t a good thing .

No, this was a situation that had already surpassed ‘bad’ .

The possibility of them clearing the dungeon was by no means low .

‘If it’s these guys, they could chew through a dungeon like this one . ’

The power Isaac Ivanov’s party displayed far exceeded common sense .

In fact, Roberto was certain that the monsters in the dungeon would just get bullied by Isaac Ivanov’s party .

That was the reason .

‘If these guys change their attitude…’

This powerful party was not something Roberto and his men could even wish to stand up against .

After all, wasn’t it a dungeon?

‘They’d chew us up too . ’

No matter what happened in the dungeon, there was no way for the outside to know .

Therefore, if Kim Woo-jin was to kill Roberto and say it was an accident, there was no way to confirm or deny his statement .

Of course, the Lightning King would definitely punish them for it .

After all, the Lightning King had never let off someone who crossed him .

‘Dammit!’

But none of that would matter to the person who died .

That was why Roberto was fearful of Isaac Ivanov’s party .

“We’ve secured the route . ”

At that time, the men who went to check the path to the dungeon gate, came back and reported, so Roberto nodded and stood up .

“Everyone, let’s go into the dungeon . ”

No one knew what could happen in the Amazon Rainforest, so there was no break before entering the dungeon .

Then Kim Woo-jin spoke to Roberto .

“We’ll go in first . ”

When Kim Woo-jin said that, Isaac Ivanov and Lee Jin-ah were standing behind him .

Roberto was startled by their appearance .

Usually, in cases like this, the watcher was the one who entered the dungeon first, and Roberto was the watcher in this case .

However, it was clear that Roberto did not even want to enter the dungeon in the first place, and was hesitant to go first .

Then Kim Woo-jin spoke as though he was warning him .

“If we hit you in the back of the head after following you into the dungeon, we’ll be punished anyway . ”

Even when saying such words, there wasn’t a change to Kim Woo-jin’s tone .

Possibly as a reaction to the threat, Roberto no longer cared about what would happen afterward .

“Do whatever you want . ”

In any case, if Isaac Ivanov’s party had malicious intentions, there was nothing he could do about it in the dungeon .

“Then we’ll go ahead . ”

Thus Kim Woo-jin, Isaac Ivanov and Lee Jin-ah began moving along the path designated by the Thunderbird staff .

Before long, a dungeon gate dug into a huge tree greeted them .

They didn’t hesitate .

Lee Jin-ah then Isaac Ivanov entered the dungeon one after another .

And just as Kim Woo-jin reached the dungeon gate .

Boom!

Suddenly, an explosion rang out, causing everyone to turn to the direction it came from .

Boom!

Boom!

Immediately afterwards, two more explosions rang out .

It was the sound of mines exploding one after the other .

“Something is coming!”

In other words, it was an announcement that something was moving through the minefield .

Roar!

Before long, a terrifying roar swept through the Thunderbird Company’s team .

“It’s an Ogre!”

Ogre!

As this wounded beast rushed through the minefield, it roared .

“Ugh!”

“Ahh!”

This roar caused the non-players to stumble .

Boom!

They were instantly incapacitated by its tremendous power .

Roberto was also shocked at its appearance .

‘Why is an Ogre here?’

It was harder to see an Ogre in the Amazon Rainforest than it was to see a jaguar .

Of course, it wasn’t the Ogre’s appearance itself that was strange .

‘Why didn’t I sense it?’

However, it was definitely strange for an Ogre to suddenly appear without any warning whatsoever .

In particular, there had never been an incident where an Ogre had ignored its injuries to charge through a minefield .

Although they were slow creatures, an Ogre was still smart enough to know that after stepping on a mine, it should not continue in the same direction .

Of course, he didn’t have that long to question it .

‘Dammit . ’

Once an Ogre began to run wild, it was hard even for high level players to kill it .

Furthermore, the ordinary soldiers would be virtually useless against it .

‘We have to kill it . ’

At that moment, only Roberto and his men were capable of dealing with the Ogre, so Roberto immediately grabbed an assault rifle from his side .

This was proof that he was adequately prepared for whatever might happen in the Amazon Rainforest .

In other words, it couldn’t be helped .

‘Ah!’

Only then did he remember the dungeon gate .

…

[Find the Red Tree to move on to the next floor]

The notification showed that no more players were allowed to enter the dungeon .

“What’s going on?”

Lee Jin-ah was shocked to see the notification .

“What happened? Why did the notification suddenly appear?”

Then Isaac Ivanov and Kim Woo-jin appeared .

The two of them spoke at the same time .

“It looks like there was an accident . ”

“It looks like there was an accident . ”

The same words .

However, their actions were different .

The real Kim Woo-jin removed a ring from his finger and put it in his inventory .

“Solomon’s Ring?”

Upon seeing this, Lee Jin-ah shouted .

“Did you use a monster to cause an accident?”

When Kim Woo-jin shrugged instead of responding, Lee Jin-ah spoke with a ridiculous expression .

“Hey! Please tell me about stuff like that in advance!”

“It was an accident . ”

“It doesn’t sound like an accident! This is why you don’t have friends!”

Kim Woo-jin stretched out his hand to the angry Lee Jin-ah .

“Aegis Shield and Nemean Lion’s Skin . ”

“Huh?”

Lee Jin-ah, whose expression was just filled with anger, became stiff when Kim Woo-jin asked for the two items in his possession .

After a while, Lee Jin-ah spoke fearfully .

“N-, no matter how wrong I was, it’s still a bit much to make me go naked in an A+ rank dungeon…”

He felt that Kim Woo-jin was going to make him do something ridiculous to increase his skill rank .

Kim Woo-jin spoke simply .

“You don’t have to do anything in this dungeon . ”

Then his gaze deepened as he continued .

“Because I will clear this dungeon alone . ”
