Even for the same A-rank monster, the level is not necessarily the same.

Even if they are of the same grade, there are monsters with much stronger power than normal A-rank monsters, such as B-rank Shadow Rippers and A-rank ogres.

That guy who swallowed the martial artist in an instant and disappeared is one of those guys.

Desert Plague Great Sandworm.

It is a super-large monster that grows up to 20m in length and easily exceeds 2m in diameter. It moves deep in the sand and is not easy to find.

The level of intelligence is high, and even by world standards, only one or two are found a year, but each time it comes out, it causes so many victims that it has been named a disaster.

It had never appeared in Korea before, so I never thought that he would appear… .

“Hey, hurry back and get back in formation!”

Dae-chan Kim urgently shouts, but the hunters who have already run are quickly returning.

Fortunately, there was no second attack and the formation was safely reorganized, but Kim Dae-chan’s expression is serious.

“As it is, form a formation and quickly retreat to the outside of the portal. That guy is not a monster you can catch with all your might right now!”

In order to catch the Great Sandworm, you need to capture it with bondage magic when it comes up through the sand and fight against it.

Of course, there are 5 wizards in our party too, but they have already consumed a lot of mana in battle, and 2 of them except for the 3 examiners are candidates who have just come to take an A-rank exam.

No matter how much Kim Dae-chan is a flying and crawling S-rank hunter, he cannot take out the guy from the depths of the sand, so it is a normal judgment.

“No, then how about Mr. Hyunji… .”

“I’m sorry, but I can’t help it. already caught There is no chance of survival.”

Daechan Kim shakes his head and says, but this is clearly a wrong judgment.

The great sandworm has no teeth, so it swallows people whole and digests them only with stomach acid.

Of course, the inner leather is as strong and tough as the outer skin, so it is difficult to break through.

Still, if you’re an A-rank hunter, you can hold out for about 30 minutes.

In the original work, there is a story in which one of the main character’s party is rescued after being eaten by the Great Sandworm.

“no. It may not be dead yet. Kill him quickly to save him.”

“Shin Hyuk?”

“What is that… Say something that makes sense.”

Since the leader has already ordered the retreat, everyone has negative opinions and facial expressions, but Kim Dae-chan, who actually ordered the retreat, has a different expression.

“Great sandworms don’t have teeth, they digest their prey only with stomach acid, and their inner skin is so tough that they can’t break through, but an A-rank hunter should be able to last about 30 minutes.”

“Is this information clear?”

“As a teacher at Hunter School, I frequently check papers and materials about various monsters for accurate education to students.”

“But it’s impossible with all our strength right now to catch him. I’ll try to do something if you come out to the front, but I heard he’s quite a clever guy… .”

“It’s true that his intelligence is high, and it’s standard that you need at least five S-rank wizards or good A-rank wizards to catch the Great Sandworm, but there is a way.”

“How?”

“There is a paper that was previously published in the United States. It was a thesis that started with a hypothesis that the Great Sandworm appears in a desert-type portal, but maybe it likes water a lot. In fact, when it rained, I saw him rise above the sand, and since most of his body is made of water, it wasn’t that he appeared in a desert-type portal, but that the portal might turn into a desert because of him.”

“What does it have to do with him liking water and catching him? Stop talking about papers and explain the method.”

“We sprinkle water with magic to attract him. Then he’ll come up knowing it’s raining. Just aim for that time, freeze it, and catch it.”

“Wait. There are only two people who can use freezing magic.”

“Isn’t every magician able to create water? Two people use freezing magic and the rest use water creation magic.”

“The Great Sandworm has a lot of magic resistance, so even 2 people won’t be able to freeze it… .”

“I know. So instead of freezing him, freeze the ground around him. Earth has no resistance.”

“You mean the ground is frozen?”

“If the soft sand turns into hard frozen ground, he won’t be able to move easily. I don’t think it would be that hard to freeze it if it’s wet, right?”

Everyone looks admiring, but in fact, all papers are lies, and this is the method used by the main character in the original work.

“Even though it’s an easy magic to create water, you can’t spread it all over this large area.”

“I can specify the location.”

It moves in the deep sand, but I noticed it finely earlier, so I can do it if I use a little more energy.

“yes? Then give it a try.”

“Great sandworms have degenerated eyes, so they locate us via vibrations rather than sight. They can attack us first, not the water, so don’t move until the ground is completely frozen.”

I warned him and raised my energy to the limit and infiltrated it through the sand, and I soon found its location.

I was worried about what would happen if I ran away, but it was underground about 20m in front, not too far, as if it was not filled with one person.

“It is 20 meters ahead of us in the ground. Please pour water over it. Bringing him out is the most important thing, so please use up all your energy.”

As the three wizards recite their spells, large water droplets form in the air 20m away and fall terribly to the ground.

The bottom is sand, so it permeates and disappears quickly, but water creation is a basic magic among basic magic.

The water is pouring incessantly, probably because they were told not to leave enough energy.

The guy below must have known that there was water outside, and wet sand rose up, revealing the Great Sandworm.

Earlier, when it swallowed Mutuga in an instant, only its head came out and went into the sand again, but this time it came up slowly, exposing its entire body, and it was so huge that it reminded me of a train.

“I… I guess you really like water.”

“I am glad that the thesis is true. Now. Ice magic, please. Avoid getting hit by him as much as possible.”

The two wizards in charge of freezing must have been casting in advance, and as soon as the words ran out, frost formed like before, and as soon as they touched the ground, they started to freeze in an instant.

Fortunately, he was distracted by the water and didn’t seem to notice anything wrong yet… uh? what?

Suddenly, Kim Dae-chan rushes forward without a word.

I was going to aim for the time when I was completely frozen, but why did I suddenly start alone without a word… .

Feeling frustrated, I ran after Kim Dae-chan.

Perhaps he felt the movement of Kim Dae-chan, who was ahead of him, and he suddenly turned around and started banging his head on the floor.

thud! thud!

The ground was already frozen, but as if it hadn’t been frozen deeply, a huge hole had formed in just two passes.

Fortunately, Kim Dae-chan arrived and stabbed the body of the fleeing guy with a sword wrapped in blue sword steel.

Perhaps because it was sword steel, it pierced the tough leather like tofu, and blue blood splattered.

However, it seemed that the attack was not very effective against the giant, and he struggled and in an instant struck Daechan Kim with his tail.

thud-!

It seems that he crouched down for a moment and took a defensive posture, but Kim Dae-chan flew away as if he couldn’t completely offset his power.

So why did you go out alone… .

I thought that I might miss him if I went on like this, so I raised my energy and sent them all to the bridge and finally reached him.

I had already entered more than 2/3 of the hole and saw that only the tail was left, so I immediately threw my sword.

It didn’t matter even though it quickly went into the hole up to its tail at a speed that didn’t suit its huge body, and even the sword it threw was no longer visible.

Because the sword is not a skill that relies on sight.

Since it is connected to the sword based on the unity of the body and sword, the range is virtually unlimited as long as one follows the inner strength and mental strength.

Of course, as the distance from the sword increases, the consumption of internal energy and mental power increases exponentially, so it is not a skill that can be used indefinitely.

Soon after, the sense of the sword connected to me informed me that it had penetrated my tail, and I proceeded with the sword.

In that short moment, I felt like I was going to lose the connection at any moment, but I gritted my teeth and endured.

The ground shuddered as if he was ignorantly emitting light from below, but my sword reached his head and succeeded in severing the nucleus that functions like a heart.

At the same time, the connection was also cut off, but the strength of the body was drained all the way, and the feeling of exhaustion drove me to the ground.

Looking at the sky turning yellow, fortunately, it seems that this guy was the last monster… oh wow, i feel like i’m going to die

I thought there would be no lack of internal energy after reaching the peak, but after scratching all the way to the floor, I don’t think I can lift a finger.

“ruler… Did you do it?”

Kim Dae-chan, who flew away earlier, returns and asks, but he looks ignorantly surprised.

When I looked at it, I couldn’t believe it, but I thought, ‘Then Ji went into the ground alone and suffocated. Why do you suddenly go out alone and make things difficult?’

But I didn’t have the energy to talk at such length, so I squeezed and squeezed my mouth open.

“all… Shut up and dig the ground.”

Earlier, he advanced his sword and confirmed the survival of the martial artist.

Since the monster is dead, there is a possibility that it will come up on its own, but it probably used all its strength to hold on, so if you don’t rescue it quickly, you might suffocate.

He frowned at first, probably offended by the word “shut up,” but soon understood what he meant, ordered people to come over in a loud voice, and started digging.

All the wizards, spearmen, and archers who came running threw their weapons and dug the ground.

Judging from the cheers that followed shortly thereafter, it seemed that the martial artist had been rescued.

Although my first impression was not good, I would have been very embarrassed if I was wrong because I received an apology, but it is my first time meeting him and I may not see him again today, but it is worth the hard work.

“Is that your sword? I found it in the head.”

Hyunsik holds out a blood-soaked sword.

“Oh, thank you.”

“Daechan-sama also said that you defeated him, but everyone was surprised to find your sword in his core. How are you feeling?”

“It’s hard to even speak after I scraped the mana all the way to the floor. How about a martial artist?”

“I confirmed that he was unconscious but breathing, so I decided to send him out of the portal for treatment.”

“Fortunately, the.”

“Can you move? If you need treatment, I will assign someone to go out first so that you can receive treatment.”

“Ah, then how will the screening be… .”

“Starting with detecting monsters hiding in the sand at the beginning of the attack, it’s no different than catching a guy like that by himself, so what are you worried about? Of course you will pass.”

“okay. I don’t think I’ll need treatment, and I think I’ll be fine with a little rest.”

“Are you really okay? Don’t overdo it. How can you rest in a place like this… . Even if you take a break, go out and rest.”

“Still, there is still left to organize the corpses.”

“That’s enough for us to do.”

“No, but… .”

“Uh-huh, it looks like you’re in a state of mana exhaustion, but it’s not good to overdo it at that time. Jeongsan has nothing to worry about either. It’s all being recorded on the body cam, so there’s no such thing as someone taking your share, so don’t worry and go out and rest. You deserve it.”

I said it was okay again, but Hyun-shik told me not to be stubborn and left, saying that he would report to Dae-chan Kim and come back.

nice!

In fact, my energy is already recovering quickly, and my physical strength has returned to some extent, and I am able to walk alone.

If I had told the truth, I would have had to participate in cleaning up the corpses, so I was just trying to be a little annoying… glad to go through

After returning the silver ID and waiting for about 5 minutes, the staff gives you a shiny gold ID.

A-Rank Hunter Kang Shin-Hyeok.

There was no theory test, only mana measurement and practice, so I thought it would be easy to pass, but it was harder than I thought.

Of course, if it weren’t for the Great Sandworm that appeared at the end, it would have been as expected… . Well, even if you go to Moro, you can only go to Seoul.

I received a decent amount of money, but the body of the Great Sandworm is not included.

The company put it up for auction and it takes about a day or two, but I’m looking forward to it because it’s a rare monster with high efficiency and it’s distributed according to the contribution.

Everything is satisfactory, but there is still one thing to be done.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a business card.

[Ares Guild master Daechan Kim

010--4321]

When I arrived at the association after cleaning up the corpse and got off the bus, Dae-chan Kim approached me and gave me a business card saying that he wanted to talk and contact me when the promotion process was over.
