Chapter 64

 

Chapter 64: The Power of New Techniques (1)

 

Even though there were plenty of rooms available, unlike the E-rank zone dormitory, parties were assigned to share rooms.

 

Since it was the D-rank zone, the explanation was that the regional costs were too expensive to do otherwise, but Hanalin’s ears turned red with slight embarrassment at having to share a room with Dohyun and Jiyuchan.

 

Still, what could they do? They were the same party, so they had to adapt.

 

Anyway, though they had come to the room to unpack, Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan only left simple belongings like clothes and stored all the important items in Dohyun’s magic pouch.

 

No matter how much it was the Korean Hunter Association dormitory, you never knew what might happen.

 

Though the doors were locked with magic, it felt unreliable to trust just that one security measure.

 

Most importantly, hadn’t even Association President Han Muyeol told them not to trust Association people?

 

It was a precaution taken with that in mind.

 

The atmosphere was certainly different from hunters of other ranks.

 

The way they were betting on how long the newcomers would last didn’t look very appealing.

 

“Hmm, it didn’t seem like they were doing it with malicious intent though.”

 

“Yes. They really seemed to believe that.”

 

“Hmm, but that doesn’t make them look any better quality either.”

 

All three expressed similar opinions and nodded their heads.

 

They needed to get a feel for the atmosphere of the D-rank zone first. When Dohyun’s party finished their hunting preparations and went outside, they could see Ihae-in’s party waiting.

 

When they came out, there weren’t the same sneers as before, but Dohyun noticed that several of them had the eyes of defeated people and approached Ihae-in’s party waiting in front of the door.

 

Seeing everyone had come out, Ihae-in nodded and took the lead, saying:

 

“Then let’s go.”

 

Following behind Ihae-in like that, they were soon able to leave the safe zone.

 

Coming out to the hunting area, they couldn’t help but feel the terror of the labyrinth vividly.

 

It was understandable since the mazes, whose directions were hard to discern and whose ends were unknowable, were confusing their eyes and senses.

 

This place they had come to after leaving the safe zone was called Basement Level 1.

 

According to Ihae-in’s explanation that the level of monsters and hunters that appeared gradually increased as they went deeper underground, everyone tried to memorize the path while taking note, but Dohyun, who had the pathfinding skill, was naturally memorizing the route, and only Hanalin could somewhat grasp the way.

 

On the other hand, Jiyuchan couldn’t understand it at all.

 

When they reached Basement Level 1, Ihae-in began speaking in a tone suggesting they shouldn’t feel too bad.

 

“Those people from earlier are the ones who gave up.”

 

“Hmm.”

 

“I see.”

 

“Gave up?”

 

At Ihae-in’s words, Dohyun could immediately understand, recalling those few who had the eyes of defeated people from earlier, and Jiyuchan also seemed to understand somewhat and nodded, but only Hanalin asked back as if wondering what that meant.

 

And Ihae-in answered while looking at Hanalin.

 

“They’re people who gave up due to the harshness of D-rank and only stay in the dormitory or safe zone. And when they see new newcomers, they tend to think they’ll end up like them, so they act that way.”

 

“They think it’s not just them who are inadequate, and they have to assume new people will be the same so they don’t look as pathetic themselves.”

 

“Ah.”

 

“How pitiful.”

 

When Ihae-in spoke and Dohyun added that, Hanalin finally seemed to understand and nodded. Jiyuchan also spoke quietly after hearing that, but he didn’t seem particularly sympathetic.

 

There was no one here who couldn’t overcome that and hesitated to move forward.

 

Meanwhile, Ihae-in’s party, who were traveling with Dohyun’s party, were scanning the surroundings without much talk except for Ihae-in, and Dohyun was able to learn quite a lot from watching them.

 

While learning things like how to find the way when forks appeared in the labyrinth or figuring out which doors to use to get where, Rogue Jinhyeon Park from Ihae-in’s party raised his hand to stop the group.

 

When everyone stopped at that hand signal, Jinhyeon Park spoke.

 

“There are enemies ahead. Fifteen in number, judging by their footsteps, they’re estimated to be Labyrinth Goblins.”

 

Dohyun couldn’t help but be somewhat impressed by Jinhyeon Park’s words.

 

The information perfectly matched what he had detected with ultrasonic waves and analyzed, showing that he was a skilled rogue.

 

He had thought his skills and stats were ordinary, but it seemed he had more ability than expected.

 

Anyway, everyone prepared for battle at Jinhyeon Park’s report, and Ihae-in gave a brief briefing to both Dohyun’s party and his own party.

 

“Labyrinth Goblins are quite agile and quick, unlike the goblins in the F-rank zone. Especially the paralysis poison they use is quite potent, so be careful not to get hit by it as much as possible.”

 

Ihae-in’s words, spoken in a somewhat stiff tone again, appropriately raised the tension.

 

And.

 

“Honggu, Minwoo, and Yoonchan will take the front, followed by Jinhyeon, and covering those in front will be myself, Jian, and Yerin from the rear. Finally, support will be freely provided at Yejin’s judgment.”

 

Dohyun was disguised as Minwoo, Jiyuchan as Yoonchan, and Hanalin was remembering her identity as Yerin, so everyone nodded.

 

And when Ihae-in gave a hand signal, the three taking the front, including Dohyun, immediately rushed out.

 

Park Honggu, Dohyun, and Jiyuchan all charged in simultaneously, but Dohyun and Jiyuchan were the fastest.

 

Without needing to arrange formation, Dohyun, who arrived quickly first, spotted an opening while looking at the Labyrinth Goblins and swung his sword with gleaming eyes.

 

Then a subtle golden light left a trajectory in the air, and the end of that trajectory reached the neck of the Labyrinth Goblin at the very front.

 

“Kerruk?”

 

At Dohyun’s sudden appearance, the moment the Labyrinth Goblin tilted its head without even being able to react, its neck was cut, but Dohyun didn’t stop there and slipped through between the Labyrinth Goblins, going deep inside. Jiyuchan, following behind, stood in front of the two Labyrinth Goblins that Dohyun had passed by.

 

And as soon as he stood in front, he shone with sword energy of a deeper golden color than Dohyun’s, and instantly a golden line was drawn in the air, cutting off the heads of the two Labyrinth Goblins along that line.

 

While Jiyuchan was taking care of the two Labyrinth Goblins that Dohyun had passed, Dohyun had penetrated the Labyrinth Goblins’ formation and entered the center, then twisted his body while holding two longswords and drew upon his mana circulation method and the techniques of the Golden Sword swordsmanship.

 

Then Dohyun’s feet, waist, and shoulders, who had been twisting his body while holding two swords, rotated rapidly in an instant. Simultaneously, sword strikes rose like an updraft as if golden flowers were blooming, and the four Labyrinth Goblins in the center had their necks and torsos sliced and torn to pieces in one stroke, soaring in the updraft and scattering on the floor.

 

Thud thud thud thunk.

 

When Dohyun finished off six at once and Jiyuchan finished off two, Park Honggu’s eyes, who arrived late, trembled violently.

 

Hadn’t they said this was their first time reaching D-rank as newcomers?

 

He couldn’t help but be amazed at the sight of the two slaughtering Labyrinth Goblins using techniques he’d never seen before, and it wasn’t just Park Honggu who was watching closely who was surprised.

 

Everyone in Ihae-in’s party who had been watching from behind were all trembling with wide eyes like Park Honggu, but only Hanalin, thinking she couldn’t let her chance to shine be stolen, used magic.

 

Cold mana filled with intent swirled in the air, creating a spear of ice, and when sharp intent was infused into it, the ice spear, sharper than anything else, flew swiftly through the air.

 

The remaining five Labyrinth Goblins were bewildered seeing their companions slaughtered in an instant, but they belatedly came to their senses and tried to charge at Dohyun who was at the front, but when they spotted the ice spear flying in quickly, they twisted their bodies.

 

The moment he thought he had dodged the trajectory of the ice spear flying in a straight line, the ice spear spun fiercely in midair according to his will, completely changing its direction, and struck precisely between the eyebrows of the Labyrinth Goblin that thought it had evaded.

 

Thunk thunk thunk!

 

The ice spears struck directly between the eyebrows of three Labyrinth Goblins at once, and only the two Labyrinth Goblins that had tried to block rather than dodge from the beginning managed to avoid being pierced by the ice spears.

 

Though Hanalin had taken down three, she clicked her tongue in disappointment while looking at the two that had blocked.

 

“Tch.”

 

“….”

 

“….”

 

And Ihae-in, who had been watching all of this, swallowed hard without even understanding what Hanalin had done or how.

 

From Dohyun to Jiyuchan and now Hanalin, he hadn’t realized they were using techniques or magic until they actually used them.

 

Seeing that they possessed the mysteries of concealment that went beyond mastery, Ihae-in watched Dohyun’s party with trembling eyes.

 

Could this really be a party that had just entered D-rank for the first time?

 

Something felt strange, but suddenly this party’s profile flashed through Ihae-in’s mind.

 

It had been an ordinary profile with nothing special, but thinking about it now, it was strange.

 

No matter how truly ordinary a party might be, their profile should have several records written in it, but he swallowed hard as he recalled that aside from basic records of when they entered E-rank and how long it took to advance to D-rank, no other records were written.

 

A profile that was too ordinary even for ordinary.

 

And even the most ordinary party would write a line or a few special notes in their party profile, but there was absolutely nothing like that.

 

What exactly was this bizarre party that had just entered D-rank for the first time but was perfectly executing the mysteries of concealment that D-rank Hunters gradually learn?

 

With such clues, Ihae-in couldn’t help but misunderstand.

 

‘Could they be… agents raised by the Association?’

 

He had heard about it.

 

That the Hunter Association raised agents specifically to handle villains. In terms of other companies, would they be like an audit team?

 

The fact that there were agents who would eliminate Association Hunters if they committed wrongdoing.

 

He wondered if Dohyun’s party might be something like that, and as if to show evidence of this, Dohyun briefly threw his sword upward, then pulled out two daggers from his chest and threw them at the remaining two, the daggers leaving faint golden trails as they struck between the eyebrows of the two Labyrinth Goblins that had been on guard.

 

Thunk, thunk.

 

Even though both had been on guard, they flew so fast and stealthily that they couldn’t even sense them, so neither could block them.

 

And Dohyun caught the two longswords he had thrown upward, sheathed them, and turned back toward Ihae-in with a grin, asking.

 

“How about it, our party is quite useful, right?”

 

“….”

 

Ihae-in couldn’t bring himself to answer, and could only nod with trembling eyes.

 

Seeing Ihae-in slightly frozen with fear, Dohyun tilted his head, not understanding his reaction, but since it wasn’t his concern, he didn’t pay much attention to it.

 

Meanwhile.

 

“Heh, I got three.”

 

“….”

 

Moreover, Dohyun paid no attention to Hanalin bragging about catching one more, or to Jiyuchan whose insides were boiling with anger at her provocation.
