In front of Hwajeong, blue energy gathered together.Kureureung,dark clouds began to cover the sky. As the cold wind began to blow in the sky, the Golden Eagle King and its subordinate slowly flew down.Ppiiik-!“H-Hwajeong-ah? What spell is that?”The sky began to darken.As Hwajeong is still casting calmly, there was a change in the weather that caused Hwayeon to feel overwhelming fear.A Runic(語) language, the dark clouds gathering in the sky grew thicker every time a word is spoken. The blue energy entered Hwajeong’s chest, passed through her hands and went to her fingertips.‘Cool.’A type of magic that even Hwayeon has never seen, the energy gathered at Hwajeong’s fingertips looked like sapphire.“Oops. I also need to cast.”Hwayeon, who was looking at the growing sapphire, started casting. The Runic words coming from Hwajeong’s mouth stopped and after a short while.“Blizzard.”Ppiiiiik—! The Golden Eagle King dove in a hurry after Hwajeong started chanting, it wanted to kill the human that it is getting a sense of danger from, however, it was already too late.A gale started blowing in the sky of Candle Mountain, the gale was so strong that it made it difficult for even the Golden Eagle King, the ruler of the Candle Mountain, to fly properly.A huge chunk of ice flew along the strong wind.“It’s hard to control when weakening its power, you should be able to finish it. You might level up thrice with this.”Hwajeong disbanded her party with Hwayeon without confirming the result and she immediately went out of the Instant Dungeon by using return magic.After getting hit by the Blizzard, the eagles flying in the sky was not able to withstand it and dropped to the ground, while the creatures on the ground froze and died instantly.Ram Hwayeon was the only one who left after the hellish blizzard,and her flame arrow flew towards the Golden Eagle King.

“Now then. Jing Gong Gong-nim, do you have “One with Nature”?”“One with Nature? Yes, I have it.”Jing Gong Gong responded to Biyemi’s question and opened his skill window. A skill that assimilates the user with nature to increase recovery.However, it is a strange skill that cannot be used during battle, the skill can only be used outside of battle, during rest after the hunt is over. This is one of the reasons why druids can neither be full healers nor full tankers.“Halee Halee-nim, get behind us.”“Behind? Why?”“Kiki, you’ll see it soon.”Biyemi immediately started casting. Green light got sucked into his body in an instant, it is dark green color that is hard to miss even in a lush mountain.“Poison Spit!”It looked like something similar to when you’re lying down and spitting on your own face. Biyemi quickly finished spitting, no, casting poison on his body.“B-Biyemi-nim? What are you doing?”Leeha thought it was absurd and it flustered Jing Gong Gong. However, Biyemi only continued spitting.“Use One with Nature and follow me. Ha Leeha-nim please get behind us.”“Are you going to lure the wolves?”“Kiki, watch and see what happens.”Biyemi took the lead with confidence, while Jing Gong Gong and Leeha had no choice but to follow him with doubtful expressions.What will happen if dozens Servant Wolves are aggroed at the same time if you walk in without countermeasures? It would be the worst situation.In general, for completing the Golden Eagle quest, dragging the aggro of 5 or more servant wolves at once would result in failure. Moreover, there are dozens of servant wolves on the Candle Mountain.It would take 10 minutes to climb the mountain and from the very beginning, they have already encountered a horde of Servant Wolves.“I see wolves in front.” Leeha said quietly. Beasts’ hearing should not be ignored. However, Biyemi only nodded and kept walking.“Biyemi-nim! Biyemi-nim!”“Please wait and see.”Grrrr, grrrr.‘Damn it, is he crazy? If he wants to die, he should die alone.’Leeha opened his bag to get gunpowder and bullet but Jing Gong Gong was already chasing after Biyemi, so he had no choice but to follow. If a battle breaks out, he will quickly open the gunpowder wrapper.“Hmm?”No battle occurred.Kungkung, Grrrr.“As expected. Kikiki, I knew it. These guys won’t attack us first.”“No way! The Servant Wolves are making the Golden Eagle quest very difficult! How did you do this?”Jing Gong Gong raised his voice and quickly lowered it again.The Servant Wolves around them have crumpled noses, and they couldn’t get close to Biyemi.No, it wasn’t the extent that they couldn’t get close, but rather, it was more accurate to say that they are avoiding Biyemi.“It’s because my body is covered with poison. Kikit, they’re smart, so they know when the food is dangerous. I didn’t choose to be a Lizardman for nothing.”Biyemi looked at Leeha and Jing Gong Gong while gesturing a V-sign.“Why did you pick Lizardfolk?”“Our race have basic resistance to poison, Human Venom Mages don’t.” Leeha was taken aback when Biyemi said “our” race so naturally, but what he mentioned about Lizardfolk shocking itself.Figuring out the basic resistance value of the race and using it this way?Leeha was in awe. He had no choice but to admire it.Dozens of Servant Wolves were rendered useless. It was like Moses in the Red Sea, everywhere the lizard stepped, a path is opened.“H-h-how about me?”“Jing Gong Gong-nim used One with Nature! Now, won’t Jing Gong Gong-nim look like a huge tree to these guys? Kikikit. And with this, the wolves won’t be able to come this way, naturally Ha Leeha-nim would also be safe.”Targeting the Game System’s gap, finding hidden Easter eggs, and using them. This is exactly what Goople intended, but he’s only level 10 and he found one!Leeha looked at Biyemi without hiding his surprise, he has overwhelming knowledge of in-game settings and information. However, it appears that this is the first time that Biyemi this, as he has a rather excited look on his face.‘Amazing. The game is so realistic. We can avoid the miscellaneous mobs, that don’t even give any experience, like this, and pour all my strength on the golden eagle. It’s definitely possible with three people now.’Because there are only three of them, this strategy will work.A level 10 Lizardman with the job of Venom Mage cannot clear it by himself.Of course, the same goes for a level 10 Giant Druid alone. Even if these two people form a party, it is still impossible to clear the quest.Even if they are able to avoid the Servant Wolf and climb to the top, they won’t be able to kill the quest boss, the Golden Eagle King, because there won’t be enough dealers.But now it is different, as they no longer need to deal with the Servant Wolves, Leeha is able to save all 40 sets of gunpowder.With the musket several times stronger than magic of the same level, he could pour it all on the Golden Eagle if Jing Gong Gong can hold on for a little bit and clearing the quest will no longer be a dream.Kkaaak–!In the middle of the Servant Wolves’ area, above Leeha’s party, a crow’s cry was heard. A flustered expression emerged in Biyemi’s face.“Oh! The crow! Unsummon the crow Jing Gong Gong-nim!”“Yes?”No matter how tame the summoned crow is, there was no way to keep it calm as they passed through an area full of wolves.A wild crow would have run away, however with Jing Gong Gong’s care, the crow’s intimacy with its summoner is at 100%, which would mean that it also has high loyalty .It was enough to peck the Servant Wolf’s eyes.“C-cancel summon!”With Jing Gong Gong’s quick casting. The crow flying towards the wolf disappeared like a lie. To be exact, it was sent back to nature’s subspace, it can be summoned again once the cooldown is over.But it’s already too late.“Umm……. We might get logged out like this.”Biyemi swallowed dry saliva, the flustered lizard rolled his eyes around, but it was already too late.The intention to attack was clear fortunately, the attack was not successful, so it was not 100 percent aggro, but the attitude of the Servant Wolves changed.The wolves are no longer retreating. They surrounded the party as they were familiar with group hunting.The servant wolves are ready to attack the unidentified being that threatened them.“Haa. Sorry, I’m really sorry. I’ll stop them, so you guys go down the mountain quickly. If you run fast, you will be able to get out of here.”Jing Gong Gong tightened his gloves, he was determined to pay for his mistakes with his life. Biyemi as well, thought that this would be the end of hunting with Jing Gong Gong.There are more than 20 wolves surrounding the party. It would be better for someone to sacrifice themselves for a hunt that would fail anyway.“Thank you, Jing Gong Gong-nim.”“No. It’s my fault. Even if you don’t have me, you will be able to complete the quest as long as you find a tank. Don’t mind me, just go. I’ll come back in 48 hours.”Quest failure and death, level down and no access for 48 hours.That’s 48 hours in real time, so it’s 10 days in Middle Earth. Even if Jing Gong Gong, who has fallen to level 9, reconnects, it will be quite different from Leeha and Biyemi.It can be said that once Jing Gong Gong dies, the three people will not be able to party again.“I-I’ll whisper to you, so please don’t ignore it.”“That won’t happen. Thank you, Jing Gong Gong-nim. Haa, you will have to hold on to your stamina.”Biyemi fell back and relaxed his ankle. Before the Giant dies, they must reach the foot of the mountain and get to the escape point of the instance dungeon.Even that isn’t really easy. Jing Gong Gong is not a regular tanker, and if there are 20 wolves, he will die in no time.“W-wait. Please don’t attack, Jing Gong Gong-nim. Everyone hang on.”It was then that Leeha stepped forward.When everyone was about to fall into despair, Leeha held his musket.“Why? If you run late, you will be attacked first. I’d rather hit quickly and you guys run away-”“If Jing Gong Gong-nim dies, we can’t hunt in a party again. It’s not good to break up like this.”Leeha held his musket and spoke.“If we live, we live together, if we die, we die together.”“Leeha-nim.”The 2m 50cm creature is even close to tears. When Leeha saw the giant’s eyes getting wet, he was rather embarrassed.“Do you have a way? With your musket?”Biyemi’s words were quick, they did not have enough time to talk slowly. Leeha made eye contact with Biyemi, laughed and started to reload without a word.“Hali Hali-nim? What are you doing?”Biyemi and Jing Gong Gong’s eyes were focused on Leeha.‘Is there anything else? Something like the secret weapon you’ve been hiding until now?’However, he only poured gunpowder, no bullet came out of Leeha’s pockets.‘No, it was a little weird, did he just pour gunpowder twice?’“What are you doing? Flint?”“Keukeuk. Cover your ears.”Leeha raised the musket’s muzzle to the sky. His index finger twitched. BAAAAANG—!”!“Uwaah!”“Keuk, my ear hurts!”Jing Gong Gong and Biyemi frowned. Their heads were dizzy at the loud explosion that seemed to have rung all over Candle Mountain.“What are you doing, will the wolves die when you suddenly shoot up to the sky?”(To be continued.)
