Dungeon Monsters Keep Offering Sacrifices

22 – Illusions and Misunderstandings

Jeong Ye-rin.

She was a B-class hunter.

She also had healer characteristics.

The position of B-class healer was never easy.

She is a being who can heal most injuries and can raise the party’s maintenance power in the dungeon to the limit.

That was Jeong Ye-rin, a B-level healer.

This alone was unusual, but what gave her wings to her background was something else.

It is a guild.

The guild she belongs to is the Phoenix Guild.

It is a large guild, one of the top five in Korea.

A large guild with rare healer characteristics.

It was a combination that someone else would truly envy and consider as a role model.

But in reality, Jeong Ye-rin, she felt that these things were useless.

If she were an ‘ordinary’ guild member, she would have enjoyed these moments too.

But.

Unfortunately, she was not simply a member of the Phoenix Guild.

The guild leader of her Firebird guild was her own father.

And there were two older brothers above her.

My father is the guild leader.

Her eldest brother held the position of deputy guild leader.

Probably, unless something goes wrong, he will take over and run the Phoenix Guild after his father.

My younger brother was also the same.

Although he did not have as much power as his eldest brother, he was able to exercise authority over the dungeons and personnel rights that the guild had.

And both my father and older brother were Class A hunters.

As a Class B student, there was no time for her to intervene.

If other people had seen it, they would have tilted their heads wondering what the problem was.

If your father is the guild leader and his older brothers control the guild, isn’t it better?

If you just stay still, won’t you be able to get halfway or higher?

This was the perception of people who usually looked at her.

In fact, she was forming a team with the title of team leader.

But unfortunately, it was far from the happiness that people thought it would be.

Because she and her two older brothers were half-siblings from different mothers.

Of course, even if the mothers were different, it would not have been possible if they were generous and took good care of Jeong Ye-rin, but the world was not easy.

One thing that made her different from her mother was that her brothers regarded her as a thorn in their eyes.

From noble mtl dot com

An entity that must be eliminated someday. That was the Jeong Yerin they were looking at.

Of course, it was impossible to completely eliminate it in a country where everything was well maintained.

So, knowingly or unknowingly, we intentionally assigned dangerous dungeons to Jeong Yerin, putting her at a disadvantage.

It was still the same now.

‘There is a Goblin Lord in the dungeon…’ .’

Somehow, a variable appeared in the dungeon assigned to his team.

I thought it was just a simple goblin dungeon, but the appearance of the Goblin Lord, a class A monster.

“Ha….”

As for her, she couldn’t help but sigh.

The Goblin Lord is a leader monster that leads all Goblin-type monsters. Of course, he was also the owner of the dungeon.

A monster that, like a leader, is different from ordinary goblins.

That alone was a pain in the ass, but there was an even bigger problem.

He was acting strategically by having numerous goblins directly under him.

So many hunters had a hard time conquering the dungeon where the Goblin Lord appeared.

If her teammates had only high grades, she wouldn’t have had much to worry about.

But unfortunately for her, Grade B was the highest grade among her team.

The other team members were evenly mixed between C and D ranks.

The problem is that he is a B-class non-combat type hunter who is a healer.

Even if she died and woke up, it was not enough to catch the Goblin Lord.

I had to give this up by notifying the guild.

As a result of her giving up, she and her team will be at a disadvantage, but it is better than losing her life for no reason.

‘Couldn’t they have given us this dungeon on purpose?’

She also knows very well that her brothers consider her a thorn in their eyes.

Nevertheless, I wanted to believe that it was just a coincidence that this dungeon was assigned to me.

She hoped that she wasn’t trash.

So Yerin Jeong thought about this problem as she sat in a cafe.

And that moment.

A man’s murmur was heard from somewhere nearby.

“The Goblin Lord’s weakness…” ….”

That sound really came to her ears by chance.

‘Goblin Lord?’

She hurriedly looked around.

There, a man was working hard on his smartphone.

‘What are we doing?’

Jeong Ye-rin looked closely at the man’s actions.

“Without the goblins, the Goblin Lord is powerless….”

The Goblin Lord can’t use his strength?

What does this mean?

Jeong Ye-rin continued to listen to the man.

And she was able to come to one conclusion.

‘The Goblin Lord can’t use any power without the goblins under him!’

It was a shock, but on the other hand, I first had doubts about whether it was true.

In fact, it makes no sense.

Looking at the situation so far, it was generally assumed that the Goblin Lord had no weaknesses.

A goblin lord who commands numerous goblins.

Even to act strategically, the reality was that when the Goblin Lord appeared, the hunters set it as the first target to be eliminated.

The general strategy was to use extremely powerful ranged attacks to create an opening, and then have the strongest hunter in the party fight the Goblin Lord.

That’s why it was easy to ignore what I just heard.

But in a corner of her heart, there was a hope, ‘Perhaps?’

If you give up on this dungeon anyway, the guild will give you a disadvantage.

If that happens, disciplinary action will be taken not only on the team leader but also on the team members.

Your position within the guild is shaken.

Such a result soon became a big problem that could lead to doubts about the team leader’s qualifications.

Going in knowing that was the same as walking into danger.

This was a serious problem.

‘It should never happen.’

That must be exactly what you guys want.

“Let’s collide once.”

Jeong Ye-rin clenched her fists.

Anyway, you have to lose to get your money’s worth.

If that man said it, there would be no need to go overboard and try to get rid of the Goblin Lord from the beginning.

No matter how much time it takes, it would be enough to just go in the direction of eating away at the goblins little by little.

‘If things go wrong, you can just give up.’

Of course, assuming that the story he just heard was true, it was something that could change the landscape of the hunter ecosystem.

That was based on the assumption that it was really true, but at the moment, you couldn’t blindly believe it.

‘Let’s check it out.’

I was thinking of giving a little thought to the other person.

Jeong Ye-rin immediately stood up and headed towards her man.

“Over there.”

She called the man.

The man put down the smartphone he was holding in his hand and looked at himself quietly.

Jeong Ye-rin intentionally greeted me and handed me her business card. She was putting some kind of pressure on herself by saying that she belonged to the Phoenix Guild.

However, the man revealed his name bluntly and without any emotion.

“Oh, yes. My name is Lee Kang-hyun. “There are no business cards.”

The other party revealed only his name.

Jeong Ye-rin was slightly shocked by this.

‘Ha.’

At the same time, it was absurd.

When I heard the words, it was clear that the other person was also a hunter.

But you only reveal your name?

This was because the opponent was never put off by the background of the Firebird Guild.

‘It was bigger than I thought.’

Look at it even now.

I could see both annoyance and arrogance in the other person’s expression.

‘This much….’

The man even showed confidence that he could solve any situation.

Once I checked that point, I was relieved.

‘For a person of that caliber, there would be little chance that the information I mentioned earlier was false.’

Did you say his name was Kanghyun Lee?

He must be a great hunter.

Ye-rin Jeong stood up from her seat, remembering the name Kang-hyeon Lee.

Of course, I did not forget to say thank you.

If she succeeded in conquering the dungeon, she would come back to look for him.

If everything he said is true, he was a talent that should never be missed.

Of course.

‘What a strange woman. ‘You should never get close to it.’

Lee Kang-hyeon’s thoughts were completely different from Jeong Ye-rin.

* · * *

The Holy Knights were going up the mountain.

“Stop for a moment at this point!”

The procession stopped in its tracks at the shout of a man in the lead.

The man’s name is Werther Leowein.

He was the second son of the family of Duke Leo Bain, a powerful family in the Caln Empire.

“We will search again after a short break! “Let’s all stay alert and rest!”

And currently, he was also the vice-captain leading the Holy Knights in the White Church.

Currently, we were carrying out a vampire suppression operation promoted by the church.

It was not a dangerous practice.

In the first place, their goal was to weaken Baalzerit’s power by subduing only weak vampires.

Baalzerit is a 5-star vampire.

He is a 5-star monster who can destroy a city by himself.

‘If only I could catch that guy with my own hands…’ .’

Can you catch such a Baalzerit yourself?

Occupying the family of Duke Leovine would no longer be a dream.

Just because he was the second son, he stepped down from the position of successor to the family.

Werther was very dissatisfied with that.

‘I can’t believe I’m treated like this even though I’m more capable than my brother.’

He resigned from his position as successor and immediately joined the church.

Fortunately, he was able to perform the duties of a Holy Knight thanks to his family background as well as his skills.

Soon he was able to take on the position of vice-captain. He

Although it was unfortunate that he was not the general manager, there was nothing he could do.

It would have been unprecedented for someone who was not a member of the church to begin with to become vice-captain of the Holy Knights.

“Ha….”

Werther sighed.

In the process of subduing the vampires, one guy ran away.

The current Paladins were those brought in to catch a runaway vampire.

Before we knew it, we had reached the mountain adjacent to the Demon World.

Even though this place was neglected, it was clearly the territory of the Kingdom of Seir, so it would have been a headache if it was discovered.

“I… “Vice-captain?”

Someone spoke to Werther.

He was one of the Holy Knights.

“Is there any need to pursue it? “I don’t think a young vampire who isn’t an adult will cause much trouble, right?”

What the paladin said was true.

Even if the young vampire ran away, it was something that would normally have been ignored.

Capturing a young vampire was not at a level that would help performance.

But now, they have come to the area adjacent to the Demon World to catch that one guy.

What’s more, this is another country’s territory.

To put it bluntly, they were invading another country.

The Paladin could not understand the current situation.

But Werther responded by shouting.

“It is our Holy Knight’s job to protect people in the name of the church!”

It meant to shut up and listen carefully.

However.

‘The sword that bastard was holding…’ .’

Werther saw something else in the fleeing vampire.

A sword that the young vampire was holding in his arms as he ran away.

‘It was definitely a magic sword.’

A magic sword that is said to give powerful strength to the user.

It was a sword that looked exactly like the magic sword I had seen in books at the church.

Werther’s eyes sparkled with greed.
