Academy Genius Craftsman - Academy Genius Craftsman chapter 133

07. Eldoras (9)

There are many dangers to the hunter who climbs the tower.

Monsters hostile to humans exist everywhere, and it becomes even more dangerous if you mistakenly encounter an elite monster with more power than a normal monster, aka ‘named’. Not to mention the floor bosses who show off their overwhelming power.

Where is that? Field gimmicks such as deadly traps hidden throughout the field and air full of pestilence do not let you relax even for a moment, and even if you meet a hunter like the tower while wandering, there is no law that you are unconditionally safe.

The sudden encounter of a hunter suddenly turning into a looter is still a frequent occurrence in the towers of third world countries with poor security, and no matter how safe Korea is, there have always been ‘minor’ disputes such as fights for positions or interests. .

In order to prevent such problems in advance, a skilled guild leader never neglects scouting.

By the way….

“The scouting party didn’t all return?”

“Yes. No contact… I guess something happened.”

In place of Yuna, who was not given a device because she was underage and did not have the hunter qualification, Im Hana, who managed the scouting party, tapped the temple area. However, no matter how much she sent telepathic messages through the connected device, there was no reply.

Because the basic principle is that the scouts should work in teams of two, even if one member has a problem, the other one can report the problem. However, considering that there was no contact, it means that two people were attacked at the same time without a chance to contact the main unit.

Three groups sent to the reconnaissance party, all six of them.

“… ….”

Yuna quietly furrowed her eyebrows. Anyway, is this possible?

Although this is her first expedition, Yuna generously poured her personal assets and gathered talented people with her heart. It means that the word is never floating around.

Even if he couldn’t do it, he had at least C-class skills and even had a weapon made by Klaproth with new technology, but Yuna’s common sense couldn’t understand that this could happen on the lower floors, not the middle floors.

But even if you say you don’t understand, it doesn’t mean that what has already happened will go away. What should I do now? Should I release the man and go find the scouting team?

No. Although she was both an employer and a guild leader, she was more like a businesswoman playing money with students rather than a hunter. Regarding her tower, Yuna said that she was only an amateur, and that she had hired her expert just in case.

Yuna humbly sought her advice from her own advisors.

“Does this happen often? Inside the tower?”

“Mmm, that is….”

“If you’re in the upper middle class, you wouldn’t know, but in the lower class, it’s unusual. Since there are no unexplored areas on the first floor, there is no chance of stepping on blind traps, and the names you encounter here are not that strong. If you don’t go close to the boss room, you won’t meet the class boss.”

A muscular giant man holding a shield that covered half of her body, an archer woman clad in leather clinging to her body, and a gigantic sword on her face that looked like a bandit with a shaggy beard. A man over his shoulder.

‘Iron Wall Giant’ Sang-woo Sang. ‘Hyeongung’ Im Ah-ran. And the ‘Lord of the Dark Heavens’… Ha Seok-cheol, now self-proclaimed ‘The Dark Heaven’, is the hunter Yuna trusts the most in the guild.

Gam Sang-woo and Lim Ah-ran are top A-class players, and have experience in running their own guilds called ‘Shield Brotherhood’ and ‘Black Arrow’, respectively. When I recommended the establishment of a guild due to a relationship that I had met during the terrorism at the fair, I got permission after deep consideration. This is because both of them suffered some damage in the aftermath of the terrorist incident, and realized the limitations of the guild consisting of only shield warriors and archers.

Of course, the benefit of providing all of the guild members’ equipment from Klaproth would have played a part in their choice if they transferred now.

Heukcheon leader, or Heukcheontaedo Ha Seok-cheol, has some stigma due to the gate boss escape case, but he is a hunter with enough skills to be called a semi-S class. . Yuna thought that being able to bring such a top-tier hunter at a low price through negotiations with the government was an excellent deal even now that I think about it.

Except for the obstinacy of not giving up the long sword and the gigantic sword no matter how much equipment they say they will provide.

“If it’s not a trap or a monster, why doesn’t the scout team come back?”

“Hmph, obvious. You got hit by a person.”

Ha Seok-chul said, crossing his arms disapprovingly. It wasn’t disapproval of Yuna or anyone else in this room, but a very displeased face, as if recalling a bad memory from the past.

“A person?”

“Yes. No wonder. Twenty years ago, it was common in any tower.”

In terms of age, he was almost the same age as his daughter, but since he was the guild leader, Ha Seok-cheol was wearing a banjodae at all times. This way of speaking makes me look more like a Moorim person.

“However, this is not South America or Africa, but it is definitely inside the tower of Korea, a country with the highest level of security… Hunters attacking hunters?”

“Are there any criminals among Koreans? It’s not what I’m going to say, but if there is a motive, whether it’s a grudge or gain, even a licensed hunter can step into crime. And comrade, wouldn’t our guild leader have something more to say?”

Yuna couldn’t refute that statement. Because there was someone who first came to mind when I heard the word raid.

Perhaps, her uncle, worse than her nephew eventually founding a guild, sent a hitman from a distant country… Of course, the reality was completely different.

But it was rather good to keep you alert. Yuna made it her policy to act as prudently as she had suffered.

“If it is really an attack from the outside, what should I do?”

“Unless you know who, where, and how many are lurking, it’s a bad idea to scatter them all over the place. It’s a cold word for those who lost contact, but they think it’s already dead, and it’s best to bolster your defenses in a nearby safe zone.”

“… Okay. Then let’s do it.”

Yuna gathered her remaining guild members and headed for her safe zone, maintaining her utmost alertness. The safe zone is literally one of the few safe spaces in the tower where monsters do not appear. There will be many other hunters besides Yuna and her party there, so she won’t be suddenly attacked.

She thinks so and she gets to the safe zone.

“… Is it too quiet?”

“Mmm.”

The mansion of a wealthy man in the lower part of the city. There was no one in the garden, so it was very quiet. She heard that it was full of hunters taking a break or bartering after a hard hunt, but unlike what she had heard in stories, there was no one in the safe zone.

She originally wondered if it was like this, but Yuna felt something unusual about the look on the guild members’ expressions who couldn’t hide their bewilderment.

“I feel strange. Do not let down your guard.”

“Yes, guild leader.”

Guild members armed with gunblades are in a defensive formation. Inside the formation, Yuna grabbed her accustomed anti-materiel sniper rifle and guarded all sides of her.

That was the moment.

Shuwoong!

A dagger flew quickly from somewhere in an unnoticed corner. The dagger throw, which aimed precisely at Yuna’s heart, was intercepted by Sang-woo Sang-woo, who noticed it in time and raised her shield.

T-ing!

“Ugh!”

Even though I only blocked one dagger, the feeling of heaviness in my arm was unusual. Sang-woo glared at the group of people who showed up in a cold sweat at the power that even a good melee hunter could not avoid fatal wounds if they were hit properly.

All of their black clothes had 卍 patterns engraved on them.

“10,000… !”

Ha Seok-cheol, an experienced hunter, was the first to recognize the 10,000 patterns. Then, all the guild members, including Yuna, swallowed in vain. It is because the weight of the name of Manma-ryun is enormous.

“You’re coming here as well.”

“It saved me the trouble of finding it.”

The tens of thousands of gangsters each pulled out their daggers, killing each other as if there was no room for negotiation or value in conversation.

‘Why is 10,000 people here… !?’

Even with Yuna’s insignificant spirit, the momentum felt by each one was considerable. The numbers were more than doubled, but if the opponent was ten thousand, the numbers meant nothing. Only strong men who knew how to fight properly were needed.

And Ha Seok-cheol, a real strongman, emitted a brilliant blue aura from his attitude.

“You bastards! Bugs that harm society! Where are you crawling in here!!”

In front of Ha Seok-cheol, who shoots like an arrow at a single step and radiates fierce energy, Manma-ryun just showed a calm expression.

“The opponent is a semi-S class. Don’t be careless.”

“At least two are enough.”

Chaeeng! The two crossed daggers blocked the slashing attitude. Ha Seok-cheol swung his sword fiercely and fought quite well, but even so, there were still eight members of the ten thousand men left.

“Kill. Leave no one behind.”

Eight figures rushing like a darting arrow.

“Kuh… ! Ready for battle!!”

The guild members, whose complexions turned white at the command of the guild leader, each raised their weapons.

Soon, dozens of shadows were mixed up in a mess.
