NOTICE: Many of the novels have been removed because they might cause violations, which we were not aware of earlier.
Episode 199. It doesn’t seem to exist, but it is.
It may not seem like it, but it is there.
This is a phrase that Choi Jin used when describing a reptile that exists on Earth.
It was not the obvious method of hiding among the trees, but the creature’s characteristic of using advanced magic to hide and ambush others.
[Grass’s Nest].
This was a Grade A gate known as the habitat of the ‘Green Dragon’, one of the three dungeons where dragons appear.
And I already know how to deal with the treacherous monsters that haunt there.
To prepare for days like this, I got some advice directly from Choi Jin, the famous dragon hunter.
Moreover, the information collected at that time is recorded without missing a single detail.
【Strategy Tips】
· When you first enter the dungeon, all green dragons are hidden, so you should take a 360˚ look around with the analyzer.
· The transparent state is removed when the dragon is hit.
· Since they move slowly, there is no problem if you catch them one by one, but be careful because a dragon in hiding may approach them in a melee. (If they gather together, there is no answer.)
In addition to this, it has high resistance to physical attacks, comparable to a golem.
Or it has a similar color to grass, but surprisingly it is not weak to fire, etc.
When I opened the notebook I brought, the information about the green dragon that I had written down in my notebook was revealed in detail.
“If you haven’t received the buff yet, come this way~”
“How many potions did you bring? Three? You bought a lot. Didn’t the higher-end ones have a shortage of stock these days, so they had to be resold?”
“Everyone memorized the positions, right? You shouldn’t be flustered later in the dungeon. You should definitely turn on your analyzer from your own angle at every timing.”
But why has it been so noisy around here lately?
I stopped reviewing the strategy and raised my head. What I saw were hunters wearing various types of equipment.
This was none other than a bridge in Daejeon where the [Grass Nest] occurred.
The people I saw before my eyes were fellow hunters who would go hunting dragons together.
“Team Leader. Please take a look at this new equipment I bought. I bought it at the market last time… .”
however.
“I finally found something that fits… … .”
A glance.
The Korean Tower Hunters who were preparing for the attack at the gate entrance kept glancing in one direction for some reason.
And the reason they are sending me such secret glances must be because of that young man.
“Wow. Seeing Jeong Ha-seong in person, his magic is really amazing… … .”
“Hey, be quiet. Keep your mouth shut. S-class’ hearing is incomparable to ours, so you can really hear it.”
Standing in this place was the most famous awakener in Korea.
A white coat with countless diamond-shaped patterns. And two pairs of bracelets and a red one-handed sword.
The other person was dressed in a way that made him look a bit hot in this warm weather.
But for a hunter who values performance over style or seasonality, that’s a natural choice.
I stared blankly at the young man who had an item called [White Blade] slung over his shoulder.
As if sensing that gaze, the other person turned his head and met my gaze.
“What’s going on?”
To be exact, I hope that ‘something’ won’t happen in the future.
“No. Nothing.”
As you can see from this image of us standing next to Jeong Ha-seong, we were safely permitted to go on a dragon hunt together.
-You’re going to bring Ha Sung? And Pay just has to treat him like other A-class hunters?
-yes.
-Ah~ Then of course it’s OK. It’s definitely OK.
I thought they would refuse such a request, since it was a license that they had won through a fierce bidding war with the Neo Sisters and Park Burst.
After listening to the story in detail, it is clear that dragons are creatures with high economic value.
At the same time, they all have exceptional strength, so the hunting process is difficult and the probability of casualties is quite high.
So, if an S-class hunter participates, the guild will welcome it or something.
Since the number of people is small, there is no need to share the profits greatly, but with top-level participation, the risk to guild members can be drastically reduced.
‘As I said last time, there was a lot to sort out related to Chairman Ko, so Esther herself couldn’t come in the end.’
Anyway, I’m glad that my application for participation was accepted without a hitch.
I left a message for Ha-seong to wait here and headed to where the guild members of the Korean Tower were gathered.
Before departure, it was to do a final check to make sure I hadn’t missed anything.
“Team Leader, Ha Seong and I are both ready. What time will we leave?”
“I think it’s time to start. We just finished checking it out.”
But suddenly, I sense a strange atmosphere.
Until just now, this area had been quite noisy, but as I approached to talk to the leader of Team 1 at Matap, the noise suddenly died down.
‘what.’
Sigh.
When I turned my head to check, I could detect the hunters hastily avoiding my sight through my limited body vision.
“Ahem.”
“Keuh-hem.”
aha…….
I also appeared to be an S-rank Awakened person. So I guess I was getting attention along with it.
‘They don’t even know that what they are looking at is an empty shell, and they close their eyes like that.’
Poor thing.

Once upon a time, before a dragon hunt.
I looked around at the hunters gathered on the bridge and became absorbed in their thoughts.
I never thought that this day would come, as I was reincarnated into a body that was an F-class with no answers.
It felt really different to be treated like a special strong person again.
“Wow, what kind of gaze is that… … .”
“They say that Hunter Kim Ki-ryeo will instill manners in you if you see him in person… … .”
There were some differences in the detailed evaluations, though.
Still, I decided to be satisfied with being treated as an S-class hunter like Jeong Ha-seong.
***
The dragon hunt began soon after.
“Good luck to you too, Ha Sung!”
“Both of you, be careful!”
The joy of S-class participation was short-lived. In the actual hunting, Jeong Ha-seong splits up with the Korean Tower team.
Well, sticking close to an S-class pyromancer will only increase the number of casualties.
“Okay, let’s move to the right from now on and slowly reduce the number of dragons.”
Ha-seong and I were grouped together and began to attack separately.
But, funny enough, the progress itself was much faster for us, the minority.
This is thanks to the presence of a great magician whose sixth sense itself is an analyzer.
‘Oh… … . The level of hiding is definitely high. Isn’t this much better than that guy, Park Jun-tae or something?’
Unlike the Korean team that carefully moves forward while checking the enemy’s location with tools as if crossing a stone bridge, the S-class team walks with long strides.
Soon after, a sleeping dragon is discovered.
Okay, now that we’ve identified our goal, it’s time to get to work.
“Jeong Ha-seong.”
I lifted my index finger and pointed exactly at the enemy’s location. And then I said this.
“Cast it as ‘clearly’ as possible.”
Ha-seong reacts quickly to this.
Before he could give any further explanation, he summoned a spear of red flame into the air and fired it straight ahead.
“Kaaaaaaah!”
The dragon that was hit by Hasung’s skill was released from its state of transparency and let out its first words filled with pain.
The green dragon’s wings, through which the skill passed, were left with round holes, as if made by a punching machine.
The edges of the wound were not yet perfectly clean, but considering the past when it had only been a blurry flame that could almost be considered irregular, wasn’t it truly a great step forward?
“good job.”
This was the achievement of the past.
I’ve pretty much fixed that primitive sorcerer’s habit of draining his magic whenever he casts a spell.
“Now the circle is printed out.”
Seeing how sharp his magic had become in just a few weeks, you could tell with your eyes closed that Jeong Ha-seong had been working hard all this time.
That’s why my conscience is hurting even more… … .
‘Euuum.’
In fact, I had teased Ha-seong about this by saying that I would check if he applied well what he had learned in class.
Since Kang Chang-ho was locked up in a detention center, he needed another source of labor to hunt dragons.
But Ha-seong doesn’t know that some alien is not only eating up a week’s worth of lessons, but is also trying to pass on the work to him.
“Mr. Kim Hunter, which do you think was better, the first or the second?”
“uh?”
“The first skill I shot evenly used mana on the part that looked like a long pole. The second time, I tried concentrating my power on the spear head. I’m not sure if it worked well.”
The disciple waited for evaluation with an extremely gentle expression.
The sight even looked like a model student who had done well on a test, waiting for praise from his respected teacher.
‘Ha Seong-ah, this is why you have been taken advantage of by the association… … .’
As expected, Jeong Ha-seong appears with a sincere attitude, not even aware of someone’s evil plan.
But this behavior cannot be stopped by mere pangs of conscience.
No, rather, I should grit my teeth and take advantage of that young man’s good side.
‘If only I could make the probability of obtaining the dragon’s lungs even 0.1%!’
If it weren’t for this overwhelming greed, I wouldn’t have entered the monster den in the first place.
“Hmm, it seems like the task is too simple to just burn the dragon to death.”
Immediately after the first green dragon falls.
I ordered the young hero.
From now on, don’t kill the green dragon you meet immediately, but try to render it incapacitated.
“Hey, you know this is all a suggestion for you, right? It’s to practice controlling your strength~”
So Ha-seong started to try various things towards the new dragon he met.
At first, we tried to remove the activity by burning the limbs, but it failed as the monster could not withstand the damage and died.
Next, they tried the idea of burning the surrounding oxygen to suffocate it, but when they took away the flames, they found the dragon in a properly crispy state, etc.
There was some trial and error, but the S-class hunter soon got the hang of it at a rapid pace.
“Okay.”
Using the same thin fire spear I had used at first, I targeted and damaged only the monster’s important muscles.
‘I see now that I’ve brought Jeong Ha-seong inside the gate. As expected, the experience gained from hunting is definitely not something to be ignored.’
Sling.
I opened my eyes wide and approached the dragons in their corpse-like state, shaking on the ground.
And he stabbed its tongue several times with the Hydra’s blade that he had drawn out in advance.
If you do this, your life, which was barely hanging on, will be cut off by the overlapping poison damage.
“Kkieek.”
It was an act called ‘spooning’ in technical terms.
The minimum threshold for rewards for top contributors to drop is lower than you might think, so even a weakling like me has a chance of getting additional items.
Of course, Ha-seong didn’t find this situation particularly strange.
Because what I did was a common behavior in the hunter industry anyway.
‘That’s because it’s rare to try this on a monster as dangerous as a dragon.’
The only regret is that I am the only one reaping these great benefits?
But I can’t let the fourth S-class hunter just be seen doing nothing but spoon-fed food to others.
“Jung Ha-seong, I’ll be the one finishing things up from now on. Don’t worry about it and just focus on practicing… … .”
I decided to be satisfied with this much.
But at that time.
“Kaaaah!”
“Oh my.”
Ting!
When I was about to put my sword to the next dragon to work on the addiction.
Suddenly, the dragon on the floor turned its head and struck the blade coming towards its mouth.
It seems like he just nodded, but I wonder how the impact was so big that his wrist turned.
‘I dropped the knife.’
Twinkle.
It seemed like the dragon’s last gasp of effort, as a new item soon floated up next to Hasung.
However, Ha-seong walks towards the sword that bounced off without even checking the reward given to him.
“Oh, I’ll bring it to you.”
The return of the flat tone suggests that the secret of someone’s grip being so weak that it feels feeble has not been revealed.
That was the moment.
Ha-seong, who was bending down to pick up the sword, suddenly flinched his shoulders.
“uh?”
“ah.”
When I focused my gaze to see what was going on, I saw a thin line drawn on the hero’s finger, as if a red silk thread was running up it.
No, you have to lift the sword handle first. If the direction is twisted, you can just grab the blade!
“What is it, are you bitten?”
As I approached with brisk strides, Ha-seong spoke with a slightly surprised look while picking up [Hydra] again.
“Yes. I didn’t know that this item would have such good magical conductivity. But it wasn’t cut too deep, so it’s okay… … .”
Sigh.
Ha-seong stopped talking and looked down at his index finger.
“… … .”
“… … .”
And there, lying there, was skin dyed a bluish color.
Ha-seong and I stood side by side like that and had a conversation without expression.
“Excuse me, what grade was this sword?”
“Epic.”
