chapter 37
Inside the dark stone chamber where the corpses of monsters were strewn about.
I saw a woman sitting on the floor and taking a break.
Her name is Dominah.
It was a graduating class hunter looking at the end of 300.
She had no choice but to participate in the survival according to the guild’s policy, and she was not the only one dissatisfied.
This is because the long-awaited vacation was rejected because of this.
“We wouldn’t even be on the list anyway. ugh What is his reputation? Without a proper last name.”
reputation level.
Guild fame was a typical reward that could be obtained in survival.
This is used when purchasing buildings and equipment in so-called territory wars, national siege wars, and world wars.
Other than that, it is used throughout the guild system, such as selecting rankings and the number of respawns.
It’s because it’s only a good prey for a large guild passing by if you have to build a castle and raise it.
So, unless you’re a guild that’s usually at the level of a generalist, you’ll buy at most a miniaturized one, but even this didn’t help the guild much in the corner of the country.
In other words, it meant that there was no meaning in the reputation level of small and medium guilds.
“Ahh. By the way, I really liked how fresh that boy was yesterday. Well, if you’re as pretty as I am… … .”
Do Min-ah, who was looking at her phone thinking about the meeting yesterday, took a selfie and waited for the next stage.
And I’m just about to go into correction.
bang!
“It’s Mom!?”
Dominah dropped her phone at the sudden roar and looked around.
“What just happened?”
Her eyes widened and staggered, but she tilted her head and tried to pick up her dropped phone.
Right then.
A roar rang out once again.
bang! bang!
“What, what?”
She jumped up from her seat and instinctively drew her sword.
I realized that this is not just noise.
Dominah concentrated her hearing and turned her body in the direction of the sound.
Of course, there was nothing there.
There are only stone walls.
However, upon closer inspection, I noticed something strange.
The walls were moving little by little and debris was falling.
“I don’t think it was an earthquake… Why are you so scared?”
She waited patiently for the roar to stop.
It’s been awhile since I’ve been staring at you like that.
Quarre.
The wall collapsed, leaving a huge hole in the wall.
Surprised by that appearance, Dominah gripped the sword even tighter, and then something huge began to appear along the hole.
“What, what is it? This monster, the monster… … .”
What came out of the hole was the kind of monster (?) she had never seen in her life.
Arms and legs made of gigantic steel, tall stature that requires bending one’s head to look up, and grandeur to match.
Dominah, who was overwhelmed by that figure, almost lost her mind for a moment.
Meanwhile, something strange caught her eye.
Something that looked like a human face was captured in the center of the monster.
‘human?’
right at that moment.
The monster’s ignorant arm rose into the air.
A spark rose from Dominah’s sword, frightened by the sight.
At the same time, her sword, which instinctively dug in, slashed through the bottom of the monster.
Caang-!
“Kyaa.”
Her new model that bounces off and turns into a round.
After that, she jumped up and fired several skills and attacks, and soon realized that this monster was not her opponent.
Because the defense was beyond imagination.
‘Nonsense. This is nonsense.’
When Dominah was in a panic, Taejeong, who was attacked, was in a state of surprise as Taejeong.
It was because he hadn’t even thought of a surprise attack.
Fortunately, the durability of the aircraft itself was considerable, so there was no damage.
The fact that Dominah’s deadly cooldown didn’t return played a big part in this.
If the cooldown of his aura skill had returned, his legs might have already become scrap metal.
“there. Let’s talk, let’s talk… … .”
Taejeong stretched out her arms and tried to calm her down.
It was a gesture of not intending to attack, but it only served to arouse her fear.
“go away!”
Dominah, terrified, started running.
Tae-jeong hurriedly shouted at her.
“Hey!”
It was quite loud, but she couldn’t hear his voice at all because she was already panicking.
No, it was just the voice of a monster.
When she ran away, Tae-jung was in trouble for a while.
I had never thought of a situation like this before, so I had no idea what to do.
But that worry didn’t last too long.
“Ehh.”
After picking up the sword that Dominah almost threw away, Taejeong started chasing her.
thud! thump thump! thud!
The sight of the machine shaking the earth and running towards it was fear itself.
At least, it felt that way to Do Min-ah, who was being chased.
As the gigantic mechanical monster came close behind, she looked back and her face went pale in an instant.
At the same time, she started running with all her might after eating the transfer skill and potion in succession.
As the speed suddenly increased and the distance widened, Taejeong hit Booster with grass and stepped on it.
Then, in the blink of an eye, the distance closed and she let out a scream.
“Wow!”
Rolling on the floor, she turned around and looked at the mechanical monster approaching.
Where the hell did this stuff come from?
He reached out his hand towards her, who was trembling in fear.
“Oh, no.”
Dominah fell into despair as the hand, which looked ignorant just by looking at it, approached her.
When you want to become dough as it is.
bang! bang!
There was a double roar and the monster began to move away at high speed.
A monster that spewed fire from its buttocks and vanished across the other side in an instant.
Dominah couldn’t take her eyes off her for a while, wondering what was going on.
For a while.
She soon realized that her sword lay in front of her eyes.
“This… … .”

Do-do-do-do-do! tu tu tu!
[Acquire 100,000 EXP.]
[You have leveled up.]
After going through a rather embarrassing incident, Taejeong, who came to the next room, muttered to herself as she continued hunting.
“I guess it wasn’t all empty rooms, was it?”
It was a fact that I realized belatedly, but it wasn’t too surprising that there were people in the other room.
If it is not an independent space, it is natural that other participants are also present.
However, Tae-jung did not have the time to think about that, as he was only looking around the empty rooms.
“It was so strangely made. That there are thousands of people doing this somewhere in this vast expanse. That other people don’t know that. So it’s not surprising that the woman from earlier. Isn’t that right, Gerard?”
– I don’t think it’s because of that.
“It’s not because of that.”
-The reason the human woman was surprised a moment ago is most likely because of the appearance of the owner.
“My appearance? What about me?”
-The Protector Armor is an older aircraft that was discontinued long before the Monster Out Break occurred. If you are not interested in the history of the past, especially military science, you are bound to be unfamiliar with it.
At Gerard’s explanation, Taejeong nodded and partially agreed.
Because it made sense.
Even the person who was using it couldn’t keep his mouth shut at first.
“Anyway, it is. You must have seen me, but I’m just going to attack you. That woman seemed to have quite a level.”
Taejeong thought that the level of a woman was not that low.
Rеаd at ոоbӏеmtӏ.соm
Judging from the corpses of the monsters in the room and the movement of surprise attacks, it was almost safe to say that they were in their senior year.
To allow such a Hunter all the right hits and still be fine meant that the machine’s defense was stronger than expected.
“By the way, Gerard, what if it breaks? Should I call again?”
It was a sudden thought.
What will happen if the body breaks down?
Taejeong was more curious because it was a skill rather than an equipment.
-If the aircraft is damaged and cannot be used completely, the skill will be locked for 2 hours.
“2 hours? Then you can’t use this skill at all for 2 hours?”
-That’s right.
“okay? 2 hours. Are you a little tight?”
Not being able to use skills for a certain period of time was a very fatal penalty for hunters.
If this happened during a tense battle, it would have been tantamount to just dying.
“I’ll have to fight more carefully, but I won’t just like it because it’s hard.”
The hunt continued.
As the stages went up, the difficulty also increased.
The increasing number of objects and the level of the monsters also steadily increased, but there were still no ones that could withstand Taejeong’s Vulcan Cannon.
It’s not because the destructive power is strong, but because the rate of fire is crazy, and it’s almost like a blender once it comes into range.
none of them were exceptions.
Tae-jung, who had been running around like that, realized that the end time was approaching.
[There are 10 minutes until the survival time ends.]
[The 127th stage begins.]
“10 minutes? Is this the last one?”
It seemed that this room was the last for him.
There was nothing particularly difficult about this stage.
However, the number of targeted kills was enormous.
A whopping 13,000 miles.
However, this was a very advantageous assignment due to the nature of the mechanic class.
He mobilized all his firepower and cleared the stage in about 8 minutes, and a welcome alarm sounded in his ears.
[Achieved 13,000 kill! You have completed stage 127.]
[Survival ends in 2 minutes.]
[The final ranking will be announced after the end.]
[A return portal is created after the end.]
“Whoa. It’s finally over. 128 is unreasonable. I thought I would do another one when the time comes. But what about this… … .”
127 steps.
It was a staggering number even for someone who didn’t know much about it.
In addition, he leveled up to 43, so looking at his growth alone, this would be a great success.
After completing all the stages, Taejeong waited for the time to pass with a proud heart.
Soon after, the waiting time ended, and the final rankings came up.
[The final ranking is calculated.]
1st place 127 steps (Complete) [What’s special]*
2nd place 34 steps (Complete) [Do Minah]
3rd place 30 stages (Complete) [Gale]
4th Level 30 (Complete) [Lonely Wolf]
5th Step 29 (Complete) [Kang Hyuk]
“scent. Look at the difference.”
Tae-jung, who was amazed at the overwhelming gap, heard several notification sounds simultaneously.
[It’s nothing special.] has been registered to the Hall of Fame throne.]
[The throne honor buff is given to the Xenix Guild.]
[The combined combat power of the guild member increases by 30%.]
[This guild member’s experience gain is increased by 20%.]
