Chapter 21 Grave Robber (2)

Thinking about what to do from now on, I let out a sigh of annoyance.

It was possible because normal field mobs were no longer dangerous to me.

‘Let’s organize it quickly.’

Having made my decision, I left the entrance to the basement and moved.

The first destination is the place where Meseo is located.

There, they caught evolutionary species and collected Meseo.

Not just one, but all of the meseo in the nearby polluted area.

Then he started running through the forest where the snow had not yet melted.

Meseo, who was left alone without evolution, was the best bait to attract aggro from field mobs.

“Kiaaa!”

“Kyaaak! Kyaek!”

In fact, every time I passed, dozens of monsters followed behind me.

After awakening with the silver shield, my body became more sophisticated and solid.

It was to the extent that I could get rid of them without using magic power.

That’s why it was necessary to adjust the speed appropriately when driving.

I diligently ran through the woods to collect the monsters.

A few minutes to run around like that.

Climbing up the tree, I held out my hand to the crowd of monsters.

Pajijik-!

The elemental mana gathered at the fingertips began to disintegrate, and heat shook.

Before long, what bloomed in my hand was a bright red flame.

The fire, which had grown to almost the size of my chest, flew straight toward the monsters.

After that, four fireballs of the same size followed in succession.

As a result, a red fire erupted in the snow-covered mountains and engulfed the monsters.

‘Fire type basic elemental magic, fireball.’

I remember vividly the day I finally added this magic to the status window.

That day was also the day when he succeeded in dissolving the magic of the lightning attribute into the four elements for the first time.

Disassembling an element was like saying that you could use higher-level attributes more efficiently.

‘Because the concentration of magical power is different.’

You can create 3 or 4 fireballs with the magic that can materialize lightning once.

Being able to use more magic with less magic power.

That was the advantage of high-grade magic.

The thicker the screams of the monsters burning in the fire, the more magical energy absorbed by me.

Of course, not all monsters died at once.

So I had to walk into the sea of fire and use my own hands.

A normal person would have been burned.

However, my attribute magic is lightning, which is said to be hotter than the sun.

When the elemental magic was applied to the body, blue sparks arose.

Its wriggling shape seemed to be consuming the flames flickering around it.

In fact, the heat felt in the sea of fire had faded.

This is possible because of the characteristics of attribute magic.

‘The magic of the lower attribute cannot cover the magic of the upper attribute.’

The level with attribute magical power was an absolute truth belonging to nature.

‘Like normal flames can’t burn in lava and get swallowed up.’

The rank of magical power was like an order that could not be changed.

Thanks to that, I was fine even though I entered a place that had become a sea of fire.

A few minutes to stab with a spear or use a blizzard made with the wind attribute in a place where the flames are burning.

Even some living monsters could be finished off neatly.

‘As expected, it’s easier to catch trash mobs with magic.’

At this pace, I thought I could finish it in a couple of hours.

I started the next round with light steps.

There were cases where only normal field mobs gathered, and there were times when evolutionary species roaming around were included.

However, there were no critical moments.

After I was able to properly handle magic power, my fighting power rose dramatically.

Did he repeat such tedious repetitive labor for an hour?

“huh?”

Five red dots appeared on the map that was full of black dots.

It meant that the player had come, and it wasn’t good news for me.

‘There’s no need to share the hunting ground.’

After a short thought, I approached with three evolutionary species.

I was thinking of intimidating him and making him withdraw.

But when I got to where the players were, I changed my mind.

“Get out of the way at 3 o’clock, 3 o’clock! Let’s break through it!”

“Hoo.”

I stopped on a branch and focused my attention on the player below.

* * *

“Push, push!”

“what are you doing?! You have to catch it!”

“Aren’t I playing?!”

As is usually the case when dealing with monsters that came in groups of five or six, a heated and urgent voice was heard over and over again.

Yang Tae-ho, who stood at the center of the commotion, was stunned.

‘I said I was confident, but that was nonsense!’

Some of the party members left because of circumstances, but they said they would be enough.

He said with a loud voice that he was confident because he had enough experience in a 2-star polluted area.

The player, who introduced himself as a phoenix, confidently said everything he said was bullsh*t.

‘Isn’t this too harsh though?’

Part of the existing party is missing, so it is inevitable that there will be gaps.

The important thing is to close the gap between the remaining people.

However, since he couldn’t do that, monsters began to enter the camp.

It means that a monster entered between the player in charge of the back end and the tanker in charge of the front, and rampaged.

“What a f*ck!”

It was really dangerous for a tanker who could hold a shield with both hands.

Yang Tae-ho hurriedly took out the hatchet strapped to his waist.

Then, he slashed the hatchet at the monster approaching his back.

“Keeek!”

Whether it was a monkey or a chimpanzee, the monster with an ambiguous identity backed away while spraying black blood with an ax driven into its shoulder.

If the dealers handled it right now, I wouldn’t have to worry anymore.

Unfortunately, everyone is busy dealing with the monsters surrounding them.

In the end, Yang Tae-ho had to push back the monsters approaching from the front with his shield and deal with those attacking from behind on his own.

‘If I’m not greedy for nothing.’

My income this month was so low that I was a little greedy.

Because the Phoenix offered to give 20% of the loot.

Yang Tae-ho, who runs around like a mercenary without a fixed party, usually gets about 10% of his share.

When there were a lot of people, it was even less than that.

So I didn’t want to miss the chance to get twice the usual amount.

‘I should have been too complacent.’

Although the number of people was reduced, I thought it would be okay because they had experience.

In fact, there were no problems at first.

I encountered two evolutionary species at the same time, but didn’t I block them quite well?

So I even let go of the tension a bit.

However, when dozens of ordinary monsters, relatively smaller than the evolutionary species, gathered, their hands and feet began to get tangled.

‘Is this such a big deal?’

Injuries are increasing, and physical strength consumption due to injuries is getting worse.

In addition to that, mental fatigue was accumulated at the unfamiliar hunting pace.

Yang Tae-ho felt his mouth go dry.

Was it because he felt the danger of his life?

My wife’s face shimmered as she said she would not go to the hospital because of money.

It made me grit my teeth.

‘I can’t look around vainly.’

It was time to do something to get out of the crisis.

What is needed right now is to accurately understand the situation.

From Yang Tae-ho’s point of view, the party was not in good shape.

After enduring to his limit, he passed the monster, but the hunting speed of the dealers was not as fast as he thought.

On top of that, the smell of blood and screams summoned another monster.

The battle is protracted.

‘It would be a big deal at this rate.’

Yang Tae-ho, who swallowed dry saliva in a sense of crisis slowly rising from the depths of his chest, quickly scanned the surroundings.

The facial expressions of the other party members, including Phoenix, were also not very good.

It meant that Yang Tae-ho was not alone in feeling this sense of crisis.

Yang Tae-ho felt intuition that now was the time to break through the retreat.

So, I used the remaining elemental magic.

‘Rock series.’

An elemental rock obtained from a low-grade elemental stone that was purchased with barely enough magical power.

That saved Yang Tae-ho’s life today.

“Get out of the way at 3 o’clock, 3 o’clock! Let’s break through it!”

Everyone quickly understood Taeho’s meaning.

In an instant, he gave up all the left side where the monster’s path was blocked, and started to open the way by focusing on killing the monster on the right side of the party, in the 3 o’clock direction.

However, as a result, Yang Tae-ho’s plan to escape through the retreat did not succeed.

Because they’ve been fighting too long.

“Have fun!”

An evolutionary species appeared, a monster with a size five or six times that of a normal field mob.

Dozens of monsters flocking right now are too much, but even evolutionary species are coming!

“If only… … !”

“no!”

“Drill faster!”

All party members became contemplative.

However, it was impossible to exceed the charging speed of the evolutionary species even if he vigorously wielded the weapon in his hand.

Evolved species approaching right in front of me raised their arms all at once.

A long shadow fell over the party members.

It was like the shadow of death, and despair appeared on the faces of the party members.

At that time, Yang Tae-ho, who was breaking through the retreat, intervened between Jin-hwa and the party members and raised his shield.

I was thinking of stopping that blow.

In the current situation, if the party members were to be swept away like bowling pins, it would be the end.

It was time to protect the camp from collapsing.

That is the duty of a tanker in a bondi party.

Tae Ho gritted his teeth and put his shield in front.

And with exhaustion due to depletion of mana in mind, he squeezed attribute mana.

A thick layer of rock began to rise around Yang Tae-ho’s shield.

It looked like it was growing with life on it.

In addition to that, he added normal magical power to the shield to strengthen the interference power.

The moment when all the preparations were completed and the whole body was strengthened.

thud-!

“Keugh!”

The slap of the evolutionary species hit Yang Tae-ho.

Its strength was so strong that the rock that stretched out from the shield cracked and cracked.

It didn’t stop there, and Yang Tae-ho’s body was pushed back.

But it didn’t collapse.

It was pushed away leaving long marks on the dirt floor, but it succeeded in enduring it.

Instead, there was no strength in the body.

It was because he had gathered up and used up all his remaining magic power, so he entered a state of exhaustion.

But even so, Tae-ho shouted, squeezing even the strength he had been sucking on.

“What are you looking at! I’ll move quickly!”

It was said to the party members who did not step forward even after successfully preventing the initial collision.

“I have to cut my throat right away!”

Yang Tae-ho, screaming, looked back and froze for a moment.

“Kyaaagh!”

There were no people who should have been behind him, and they were all monsters.

While Yang Tae-ho went to the rear, the other party members had to deal with the monster.

However, they ran away instead of protecting Yang Tae-ho, who went to the most dangerous place.

As a result, monsters filled the void.

I could see the backs of the party members who had moved away from the crowd of monsters.

Yang Tae-ho, who had been staring at the scene for a while, lost his mind, and his face turned red in an instant.

“They’re bastards!!”

An angry cry echoed through the tumultuous forest.

“The party leader banishes you.”

At the same time, a system message popped up, and a monster kicked the ground and attacked Yang Tae-ho from behind.

I reflexively groped for my waist, but there was no hatchet to use as a secondary weapon.

It was used to deal with the monster that entered the party’s camp a while ago, and it was not retrieved.

A little monster drooling behind him.

In front of him, the Evolution species raised his hand again with the momentum to crush him.

Yang Tae-ho, who was in a crisis of desperation, became contemplative.

Once again, I remembered the face of my wife, who was obsessed with money and didn’t even go near the hospital.

But this time there was nothing I could do.

Magic power was depleted and all secondary weapons were used.

Death was the only option left to him.

Just in time, the hands of the evolutionary species began to fall down.

Yang Tae-ho blankly watched the unreal scene.

It seemed like the shadow of a daughter who had been miscarried without even holding her in her arms was lingering at her feet.

It seems that I came to pick up my father who couldn’t protect me.

Thinking so, Yang Tae-ho raised his shield above his head without realizing it.

It was not an action with a specific purpose.

No matter what he does now, it won’t change the future of being squeezed into the hands of evolutionary species.

He had no strength to resist the coming death.

Yang Tae-ho raised his shield and closed his eyes tightly.

“… … Eh?”

But no matter how long I waited, the end never came.

Not to mention getting bitten by a monster that came running from behind, and not being crushed by the evolutionary species.

Yang Tae-ho, who had been stiff with his shield raised above his head, opened his eyes.

The first thing he saw was a monster lying at his feet with a half-slit neck.

“Kek, kek… … !”

In addition to that, I heard urgent breathing as if I was going to fall back at any moment.

When he lowered his shield, wondering what the situation was, the body of the evolutionary species standing in front of him was tipping over to the side.
