Chapter 213: Chimera Hunt 4

He never faced a boss monster, so he thought there were no boss monsters.

He was wrong.

After acquiring the dropped items, Soo Hyuk opened the inventory.

And he checked the token.

‘Oh?’

After seeing the token, Soo Hyuk exclaimed.

‘Green?’

The color of this token was green.

‘Item information is…”

Soo Hyuk checked the item information.

‘Same.’

Only the color was different as well.
Soo Hyuk lost his interest in the token and took out the warp scroll and warped to Beyond.

After arriving at Beyond, Soo Hyuk lined up and checked the time.

‘I wanted to finish it all today.’

Looking at the time, Soo Hyuk frowned.

Among the villages where chimeras appeared, he wanted to solve all the places that received an S grade within today.

But looking at the time, it seemed impossible.

“Where are you going?”

Soon it was Soo Hyuk’s turn.

“Elominis of the Domanian Kingdom.”

“It’s 40 gold.”

Soo Hyuk warped to the village ‘Elominis’.

[You are not affected.]

Upon arriving at Elominis, Soo Hyuk could not help but flinch.

“We have one team left!”

“Join the 2nd team, Elka!”

“Firewall!”

It was because there were many users near the Warp Gate.
Seeing that they were wearing the same guild mark, it seemed that they were from one guild.

The target the users are fighting against.

[Warning!]
[A powerful Chimera Troll Ogre appears.]

It was the chimera boss Troll Ogre.
Soo Hyuk looked at the message and turned his head to see the Troll Ogre fighting with the users.

‘It’s bizarre.’

The troll ogre had a bizarre appearance.
The upper torso belonged to a troll, and the arms and lower body belonged to an ogre.

And the heads of ogre and troll were each attached.

‘Did you only use the body of the troll because of its regenerative power?’

The troll’s ability to regenerate is very good.

And the source of that regenerative power was the heart.
It seems that the synthesis was done in that way to give the ogre the troll’s regenerating power.

[The special quest ‘Chimeras who took control of Elomini’ has been created.]

A quest appeared and Soo Hyuk confirmed it.

‘One monster!’

There was only one chimera left.
In other words, if you hunt the troll ogre, all the chimeras here are dead.

*Roar*

The ogre roared.

“Fall back!”

One of the users who was fighting exclaimed.
Then the users who were attacking the boss quickly retreated.

‘Why retreat?’

Soo Hyuk was puzzled.

‘It is almost dead.’

The troll ogre’s body was full of scars.

If they attack a little more, he thought they could kill it but why are they retreating?

The curiosity did not last long.

Green smoke began spreading out of the troll’s mouth.
It was evidently a poisonous smoke.
It was then.

“Uh?”

A user who came to the warp gate to avoid the poison smoke found Soo Hyuk and exclaimed.

“Good morning.”

Soo Hyuk greeted me with a friendly smile.

“Ah. Good morning.”

“Are you going to hunt that?”

“What? Well….”

The user looked at the troll ogre, blurring the end of his speech at Soo Hyuk’s question.

Poison smoke was still coming out of the troll’s mouth.

‘Look at resilience?’

The wounds all over the troll ogre’s body began to heal quickly.

The troll’s resilience was demonstrated.
Users could not rush and attack.
All they could do was look at the troll ogre, while they were pushed back by the poison smoke.

“I don’t think we can kill it.”

The user who was looking at the troll ogre looked at Soo Hyuk again and said:

“Periodically, the poison smoke is blown out to restore Health. We have been trying for 40 minutes already.”

With a bitter expression, the user ended his words.

“Then can I attack it?”

Soo Hyuk asked the user.

Originally, he was going to watch.
This was because he could cause a riot by touching the boss monster being raided by a guild.

However, looking at the situation. It seemed like he could take care of it.

“Yeah?”

The user questioned Soo Hyuk’s words, then nodded his head while answering.

“Oh, yes. You can attack it.”

****

“Wow, Gilma, who was that just now?”

The Vice-Guild Master of the Dusk Guild Krang asked.
Gilma answered Krang’s question.

He could not speak.

‘What?’

It was frustrating.

‘How many spells did you say it died in?’

He nodded at the user’s question if he could attack because he thought he would not be able to kill it anyway.

However, the user killed the troll ogre with a few magic bullets.

The troll ogre, which the guild could not kill even though they tried for 40 minutes, with only a few magic shots.

‘Is he a high ranker?’

He was a ranker for sure.
It was also clear that he was a high ranker at the top, not a normal ranker.

“Gilma?”

When Gilma did not answer, Krang called again.

“I’m sorry. I was just a little shocked.”

Gilma came to his senses and answered Krang’s words.

“Oh, you didn’t know?”

Krang asked with a slightly surprised expression.

“Yes, it’s the first time I’ve seen him.”

Gilma nodded his head and thought of the user once more.

‘It was the first time I saw that guild mark.’

It was a mark he had never seen before. That is in the Domanian Kingdom or neighboring countries.

“But what reward did you get?”

Krang asked.

“Wait.”

Gilma confirmed the message.

[Items are acquired according to the level of contribution.]
[Obtained the Domanian Kingdom Advanced Medal.]

“It’s an advanced medal.”

“A medal?”

“Yeah.”

“Oh, that’s strange.”

Krang shook his head.

“Why?”

“The number one contributor usually gets the ‘Behind the Scenes Token’.”

“Right.”

“But now, there are no guild members who have received the token.”

“No?”

Gilma shook his head at Krang’s words and smiled.

‘Surely…’

A sudden thought came to mind, Gilma remembered the user who had just caught the troll ogre and disappeared.

__________

“Oh.”

Jang Gyeong looked at the monitor and exclaimed.
Information about Soo Hyuk floated on the monitor.

“I thought he was in the library.”

He began to move apart from Yeon Jeung.
And since he went to the library, Jang Gyeong wondered if Soo Hyuk would spend his time at the library in the future.

“He is participating in the main scenario.”

What kind of wind suddenly blew?

“If this is the case, will it be over sooner than expected?”

He estimated it would take a month just to clean up the Chimeras.

It was because it was almost impossible to hunt boss-level Chimeras in the current state of the users.
But what if Soo Hyuk participates like this?
That time would be greatly shortened.

“Will it be over in a week?”

Because numbers are numbers, it cannot happen in one day. No matter how fast it is, it will take a week.
Of course, this is the case if Soo Hyuk continued to catch Chimeras.

“What will he do when the war starts tomorrow?”

Tomorrow, the war in the demon world begins.
Soo Hyuk received the war quest. He wondered what kind of decision Soo Hyuk would make.

It was then.

*Tiring*

A notification sounded.

Jang Gyeong immediately checked it.
After checking the notification, Jang Gyeong’s expression showed a slight surprise.

“Sigh”

Soon, Jang Gyeong let out a sigh.

“Will this be more fun?”

A very interesting thing happened.

“The Balrogs moved.”

Some of the Balrogs that protect the portal were moving.
They also did not wander around randomly but entered the area under Amiletta’s rule.

Of course, it was not only because of the Balrogs that he exclaimed.

“The war will start faster.”

The original war was scheduled for tomorrow at 1pm.
However, the situation has changed.

The time of the war was greatly advanced.

“If it goes like this.”

Jang Gyeong blurred the end of his words while imagining the war’s new start time. He was even more curious about how Soo Hyuk, who was dealing with the Chimeras, would react.

_________________

Yeon Jeung confirmed the time.

‘It’s 11 o’clock, so can I reach level 219?’

He hunted all day. As a result, the level that was 1 reached 216.

‘Is Soo Hyuk still online?’

Yeon Jeung closed the character window.
Then, he checked the friend list and checked Soo Hyuk’s status.

‘He is still online.’

His level has risen by one from an hour ago.
Seeing that his level has risen, it seems that he is still traveling around the continent to find Chimeras.
Yeon Jeung closed the friend list.

Then he moved to hunt monsters again. It was then.

[Warning!]
[Advanced Balrog Raymond has appeared.]

O.O”

Yeon Jeung was puzzled by the message that suddenly appeared.

Then he reflexively turned his head to the sound of the explosion he had just heard.

A very deep red energy was heading to him.
It had already flown right in front of him, so he thought that it was too late to dodge, therefore he raised his shield and blocked it.

*Bam*

With a roar Yeon Jeung flew backwards, then he quickly checked his hp.

He was shocked by the number. It was because there were only 50,000 remaining. His full hp was 100,000.
He is only wearing a shield, but he obviously blocked it with the shield.

The damage received by blocking an attack was considerably reduced, but it dealt 50,000 damage.
He did not understand how this happened. Yeon Jeung looked at the direction in which the red energy came from.

‘Damn.’

Then he cursed inwardly.

‘How many came?’

He thought only one appeared due to the message. But he was wrong.

‘Five?’

Five barlogs were quickly approaching.
Yeon Jeung quickly turned back and started running.
His chances of surviving the five Balrogs was 0%.
I cannot even log out.

He was already in battle, so a minute was needed.
The Balrogs will not stand still for a minute.

‘I need to update the resurrection gateway.’

Yeon Jeung frowned.

He did not update the spawn point. If he dies, he will respawn in Beyond.

Of course, he had a way out.

‘I am glad I bought them.’

He bought 5 scrolls that can warp him to Ilom.
He needs 5 seconds to warp after using the scroll.
If he holds out for only 5 seconds, he can safely overcome this situation.

*Swoosh*

A familiar sound was heard in his ear.
Yeon Jeung looked back and saw the direction the red energy was flying at.

The red energy was approaching at tremendous speed.
It was clear that if the situation remained as it is, it will approach.

Yeon Jeung changed his direction slightly.
The red energy passed by him as it was and exploded on the ground, causing an explosion.

‘If that hit, it’s over.’

Looking at the explosion, Yeon Jeung thought.
Even if it was blocked with a shield, more than 50% of his hp was cut.

The moment he got hit by one shot, he was going to die.

‘There!’

Yeon Jeung discovered a huge rock in front of him and opened his inventory.

And as soon as he got behind the rock, he pulled out the scroll from his inventory and tore it.

*Swoosh*

A small magic circle appeared under his feet.

‘Please please…’

Yeon Jeung thought, but after 3 seconds.

*Bang*

The rock was destroyed.

And then Yeon Jeung saw.

[You died.]

Death notification.

‘Sigh’

The surrounding space began to darken.
