Episode 161. The Holy Knight Slayer
Tiring!
[You have entered the ‘Abandoned Temple’ gate.]
The name of the gate we entered was ‘Abandoned Temple’.
It was a dungeon-type gate.
‘Because it’s a dungeon, the variables aren’t that big.’
If it was a special gate, it would have had to perform a specific mission, and there would have been variables resulting from that.
But it’s a dungeon gate?
All you have to do is simply hunt monsters and move forward.
furthermore.
“Is this the temple hallway?”
“Yes. There is no other way, and it seems like we just have to keep going forward.”
Because it was dark, it was difficult to secure visibility, but basically, this dungeon was a straight line.
No need to worry about getting lost.
but.
“Hmm. It seems like surprise attacks have become a bit more difficult.”
It will be difficult to surprise them as the path is simple.
Well, it wasn’t a big deal.
“These are traces of the battle between the religious sect’s bastards!”
“The monster is… a lizardman? It’s a 7-star monster. Everyone, take note.”
“yes!”
Anyway, all we had to do was follow them secretly and fight the ones who were exhausted.
“Okay. Let’s move forward while making no sound.”
There was nothing to salvage from the lizardmen’s corpses.
The magic stone had been mined, and the usable parts were left disassembled and abandoned.
So we cautiously advanced along the temple corridors.
The leader was Geum Yu-gang.
As a 7-star hunter, I have the most sensitive senses, so I will be able to keep my distance so they don’t notice that we are following them.
“… It seems that they are indeed strong.”
“I see. You defeated a 7-star monster with overwhelming force.”
It’s a new thing, but they were strong.
As far as I knew in advance, there was only one 7-star knight commander, and it seemed like they got through this place without much damage.
Thanks to the divine magic that boasts incredible efficiency.
I looked back at the faces of the suicide squad members.
Gulp.
There was a hint of considerable tension.
Even though you’ve planned everything and determined that there’s a good chance of success, you’re still afraid.
to be honest.
‘It’s difficult to complete this operation without anyone dying.’
There can be no harm.
Even though we were fighting against guys whose stamina had been drained by repeated battles, the sect guys were strong.
However, we are just those who want to punish the Gaia Church even at the risk of our lives.
Self-patch. Swish-
We kept going.
Trying to keep the sound to a minimum.
‘The temple is quite large.’
I tried to find out a little more information about the dungeon.
Because that might help minimize damage in later battles.
Even if it wasn’t a special operation like this, it was something that had to be done basically in the dungeon.
also.
‘The appropriate entry level is 7.’
I looked back on the dungeon information confirmed with the “Tenauzes System”.
‘The monsters that appear are Lizardmen, Warriors, and Wizards. The boss is Lizardman King.’
There were no hidden boss monsters like in the ‘Burning Earth’ dungeon in the past.
It’s just a habit of trying to predict variables in advance and respond accordingly.
However… there were some variables.
【Eugene.】
‘why?’
【Here, the power of the dragon? No… It seems a bit different from power, but there is something.】
‘Is it something to do with dragons?’
【I think so.】
Coincidentally, it was here that Frill detected something.
‘hmm.’
I’m not sure, but it might be what they call a ‘holy relic’.
‘There were times when the spirits’ heritage was used as a holy relic.’
Maybe this time, the relic is the dragon’s legacy.
‘If I do it well, it could be related to my specs.’
If it’s the Dragon’s Legacy, it will definitely help me.
It may be possible to upgrade directly or indirectly through Metheus.
Still, for now, it was right to focus on destroying the Gaia Cult rather than on compensation.
‘Opportunities like this don’t come often.’
Beyond simply stealing the relics, it is rare to have an opportunity to eliminate the power of the Gaia Cult in such a way.
How far did we advance like that?
“stop.”
Geum Yu-gang stopped the suicide squad.
“I sense a presence ahead. I’ll step back and wait.”
If we get closer, it might notice our presence.
They had to avoid being discovered as much as possible before they could fight the boss monster.
‘I can definitely feel it.’
I too could feel the presence of ‘a dozen or so’ people beyond my dark vision.
So, I made a proposal to Geum Yu-gang.
“Representative Gold.”
“What?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to make a surprise attack rather than retreat?”
It doesn’t seem like they’re their main force, so let’s launch a surprise attack now.
“Why? Didn’t you decide to do it during or after a battle with a boss monster?”
“But aren’t the circumstances a little different?”
“… … ? What are you talking about?”
But Geum Yu-gang didn’t understand what I was saying.
“…?”
I didn’t understand either.
“Based on the traces so far, they are advancing while dismantling monsters. If there are any that are separated from the main force, I think it would be better to defeat them individually.”
Isn’t that obvious?
Even if we had originally planned to launch a surprise attack when they were tired, there was no reason to throw away this opportunity to defeat them individually.
however.
“I can’t be sure of that. I can’t rule out the possibility that they’re advancing together with the main force. Let’s proceed as originally planned.”
Geum Yu-gang’s thoughts were different from mine.
Here, the basis was presented.
“There are only about ten of them. There are about 70 of them in total, so it’s clear that they’re not the main force.”
“A dozen people? How did you know that?”
“… Don’t you feel it?”
But somehow, Geum Yu-gang didn’t seem to be able to figure out their numbers.
why?
“I can only faintly sense their presence from afar. Even though I am a 7-star hunter, it is difficult to discern their numbers from this distance.”
“……ah.”
I realized.
Of course, I thought Geum Yu-gang would have a better sense of humor than me… .
‘Did I feel better?’
That’s what it was.
As I gained the powers of various dragons and my magical power-related abilities increased, I reached a level where my skills were far superior to those of a 7-star hunter.
And, it seems that Geum Yu-gang also realized that.
“You… are you even able to figure out specific numbers?”
“Yes. I can feel it.”

“… Oh my god. Wasn’t that a 6-star hunter?”
“That’s right… but it works.”
He gave me a blank, dumbfounded laugh.
“What happened?”
“It seems that Hunter Kim Yu-jin has much better senses than I do.”
“…Huh? Does that make sense?”
“I thought it was nonsense, but it seems to work.”
“Hunter Kim Yu-jin…!”
The admiring gazes of the suicide squad members were a bonus.
In this situation, like this?
This is a bit burdensome.
“Anyway, it is certain that there are about ten people standing alone in front of here.”
Rather than just listening silently, I talked about future plans.
“Good. Surely you wouldn’t say something like that when you’re not sure. Let’s do as Hunter Kim Yu-jin says.”
“All right!”
“Everyone, prepare for battle and approach slowly. When I give the signal, everyone charge at full speed.”
So we decided to take them down one by one rather than keeping our distance.
Let’s move forward for a moment.
“… It really was.”
As if he had figured out the number of gold-digging robbers, he spoke again in a tone of disbelief.
And at the same time.
“hmm!?”
“Who’s in the back!”
A dozen or so paladins are on guard, bewildered as they realize our presence.
As expected, they were dismembering the lizardman’s corpse.
“charge!”
Geum Yu-gang ordered an assault without delay.
“”leasehold”!”
“Piercing Arrow!”
The friendly forces began to charge forward and launch ranged attacks.
“Wh, what!”
“Contact the main unit immediately!”
Me too.
“Battle Leap.”
Hoooow-
I used the dash to quickly close the distance.
The unique skill, “Battle Leap,” sent me to the knights faster than anyone else.
Kuung!
“Ugh!”
“This, this…!”
In an instant, I was dropped into the middle of them.
‘Target number 1 is….’
On the right, a knight taking out a message stone.
The first thing we had to do was cut off any means of contact with the main force.
Controlled the additional effect of “Battle Leap”, which uses a weapon to strike nearby enemies simultaneously.
Rather than trying to cut off the neck, target only one message stone.
Kwajik!
“Oh, no!”
It was a success.
The Eternal Frost Sword, wielding the Aura Blade, cut the paladin’s arm in half along with the message stone.
‘Okay. Now all means of communication are blocked.’
I focused my attention on the front, but I didn’t feel any particular movement.
It seems to be quite a distance from the main unit.
“Wow, do you know who we are!? We are the ones who carry out the will of the Goddess─”
“It’s noisy.”
One of them belatedly revealed his identity and cast ‘Do you know who I am?’, but was dismissed.
Because I already knew everything anyway.
“… These ungodly people!”
Just fight, there was a lot of talk.
“asleep.”
Scream-!
With the Eternal Frost Sword, I cut off the head of a paladin.
It wasn’t difficult.
They weren’t particularly good at fighting, so they were only given the task of dismantling monsters.
Most of them were 5 stars, but only one was 6 stars.
Even though I was so flustered, I couldn’t use my divine magic yet.
“They were unbelievers!”
“You know that now?”
Ugh.
“As long as the Goddess is with us, we will not give up! “Saint Armor”! “Saint Auror”!”
Swaaaaaaah-
Eventually, the paladins grasp the situation and quickly cast divine magic.
“Saint Armor!”
“St. Auror!”
They’re getting tricky.
Since its defense and attack power will have increased significantly, it won’t be able to be cut down as easily as it was just now, and if it can’t be taken down in one hit, it will somehow show its cockroach-like vitality with its heal skill.
But it didn’t matter.
“Die, you fucking idiots─!”
“Whoaap! “Dancing Sword”!”
Because the suicide squad arrived soon.
They were filled with anger and attacked the knights.
“Ugh, ugh…! Shit!”
“Goddess… … .”
They fell without mercy.
Our number is 20.
Moreover, each and every one of them is elite, and is equipped with all sorts of items based on the wealth of Geumyu River.
It was not a force that could be stopped by a mere dozen or so low-ranking knights.
especially.
“You dare attack me and play with our Hwayoung’s life. I will make you pay the price!”
Hooow- Quagagagagag!
The golden greatsword wielded by the angry 7-star hunter, Geum Yu-gang, was overwhelming in itself.
“Oh my, how can this be… … .”
Crunch! Crunch!
It was short.
How long does it take to kill them all?
“at las…!”
“We did it!”
“These crazy, pseudo-children! They look great!”
The suicide squad members looked at each other and cried out in joy at their first victory.
It’s not much compared to what we have to accomplish today, but the first victory is still significant.
It was especially encouraging that there was no damage.
Well, I was going to let you enjoy it a little longer, but… .
“Just calm down for a moment.”
I calmed everyone down.
Why?
“Hey guys, why aren’t you receiving the message stone… … huh?”
A priest who appeared to be a messenger from the main force had suddenly appeared.
“W, what the… Paladins…!?”
It was good that some of the paladins were defeated individually, but in order for this individual defeat to continue without a hitch, this guy had to be dealt with quickly first.
He opened his mouth with a smile, looking at the priest who was assessing the situation with a dumbfounded expression.
“Come in.”
Is this your first time as a Paladin Slayer?
