Episode 220
Heart-pounding S-rank Gate Strategy!
“With this sword bestowed by my Lord, I shall sever the heads of enemies and offer them to you.”
“I don’t need that kind of thing, so please hold back.”
“Hohoho. Our Witch Coven will burn everything to ashes.”
“Leave the corpses behind.”
“Hmph, no. I’ll search to see if there are any items worth transferring ownership of.”
Why is everyone so enthusiastic?
“Don’t overdo it and cause power losses.”
This main game is a closed-type Gate that will reopen tomorrow.
Physical injuries can be healed by Roan, I suppose.
But weapon and armor damage needs to be repaired one by one.
Ah.
Repair Factory. I miss you.
While I was regretting choosing the Dark Magic Tower as the second building.
Screech.
The vehicle rented from GGG came to a stop.
Click, I lightly bowed to the staff member who opened the door and stepped outside.
“Is this the place?”
“Yes. This is Wind Valley, the Gate where Wyverns appear.”
But why is Executive Sofia armed?
When I saw her at the airport, she was wearing skinny jeans, a white cotton t-shirt, and a hat.
It was clearly comfortable clothing.
Now she’s wearing heavy armor that looks heavy just by looking at it.
And in her right hand was the large warhammer I’d seen before.
“When guild guests enter a Gate, it’s natural for a guardian to accompany them.”
I understand the need for a guardian.
But it’s a bit burdensome when such a high-ranking person suddenly comes along.
“There aren’t many skilled individuals who can cover variables in an S-rank Gate.”
“Yes.”
Right.
It’s actually reassuring.
My first time entering an S-rank Gate.
From what I could tell, the difficulty seemed quite brutal.
If my Familiars and Minions aren’t enough, I’ll just toss it to Executive Sofia.
Just collecting monster corpses would be tremendous profit.
Hehe.
“It’s fortunate we can enter too.”
“Seongsu. Don’t you know much about Wyverns?”
“I only know they’re flying-type Dragon Race.”
“You need to study more.”
“If Boss hears that, it might actually happen, so shh.”
The bickering Support Team.
This is an S-rank Gate, everyone should be a bit more tense.
“We’re just trusting in big brother and going.”
“What can B-rank scrubs do in an S-rank Gate anyway?”
“Big brother. Loyalty, loyalty!”
At this rate, if they ask me to guarantee them, they’ll even stamp their seals.
Boss. Please stop these guys.
“The trust in Hunter Park runs deep.”
Why are you acting like this too when you should be stopping them!
Emilia was making sounds like “hehe, heh” as if she’d failed as a human and passed as a beast.
Sigh.
It’s my own mouth’s fault.
Executive Sofia stood beside me.
“It’ll take about an hour for the strategy support team to arrive.”
“Since we’re going to warm up, let’s just get a taste and come back.”
“Will you be okay without the support team?”
“One man army.”
Hehehe.
I’ve always wanted to say that.
A complete form that can cover close-range, long-range, and support!
I’ve cleared all the difficult A-rank Gates with the highest grade.
Usually, it’s not even a warm-up.
“Hmm. Good.”
Executive Sofia’s permission was granted.
Shortly after, the party entered the Gate in order.
* * *
The moment we reached beyond the rift.
Whoooosh!
Rough wind that made it hard to maintain balance struck us.
I struggled to lift my eyelids.
An endless cliff spread out before my eyes.
“Whoa.”
One wrong step.
Or getting caught and pushed by the strong wind would send you falling into that dizzying place.
“Ingrid.”
“Please leave it to the Girl.”
[Unique Technique ― Eclipse]
[Dark Veil X 3]
[Modified Technique ― Expand]
The Black Sage’s skill spread widely in the form of pitch-black mist.
Though it didn’t match the original purpose of defense.
As the fierce wind became soaked with dark attribute mana, its force significantly decreased.
“This is dizzying.”
“Won’t we die if we slip?”
Even the Support Team, who said they only trusted me, shrank back at the violent scenery inside the Gate.
Executive Sofia laughed briefly.
“Don’t worry. It looks endless, but if you fall, you return to the entrance.”
“That’s a relief.”
“Instead, you take fall damage equivalent to being hit by an Ogre’s fist while defenseless.”
“…”
Absolutely.
I must not misstep.
The example being oddly detailed was also brutal.
It’s like she experienced it herself.
Thanks to Ingrid, the wind calmed down and I could leisurely look around.
“The terrain is quite brutal.”
Wind Valley was called a valley, but it was a space with sharp rocks standing everywhere.
The distance between rocks varied greatly.
Some were light enough to jump over easily.
But there were also rocks dozens of meters away that looked difficult to reach in a single leap.
“Don’t worry. You can ride on my back.”
“Mm. Thank you very much.”
“The wind isn’t the only problem, is it?”
Executive Sofia pointed to the sky.
A beat too late.
A pitch-black monster weaving through the fierce winds came into view.
“Krararara!”
Ten meters tall.
Similar in size to Predator – Lex.
But it looked much larger due to its fully spread wings.
The wyvern strutted through the air without being shaken by the fierce wind, glaring down at us.
“Hyung-nim. That dragon will have additional spec bonuses.”
“Like the Primitive Species?”
“Yes. Since it’s a flying type, there will probably be additional bonuses too.”
One obstacle after another.
“Sir.”
“I can take it down if it gets a little closer.”
Fierce winds and the variable of a flying type.
Even Sir Isra couldn’t guarantee a successful hunt in this environment.
“Hoho. Iron Head, I told you this fight belongs to the Girl.”
“Hmm. Just this once, I’ll yield the first move.”
[Eclipse Witch Coven]
―Black Sage 5 units
―Skeleton Wizard 5 units
The Black Sages standing behind Ingrid.
They immediately rearranged their mana upon summoning.
“This Gate has strong wind attribute mana, so magic power will be halved.”
Executive Sofia’s interference disguised as a mutter to herself.
I just watched with my arms crossed.
This was none other than Eclipse Witch Ingrid’s work.
There must be some reason for it.
Ingrid, having finished rearranging, let out a short laugh.
“They weren’t the Girl, after all.”
A confident declaration.
[Unique Technique ― Eclipse]
[Black Thunder X 3]
[Photon Ray X 3]
Pitch-black lightning and white light writhed in the air.
A form woven with Unique Technique just before activation.
Befitting an A-rank spell, it scattered intense energy in all directions even without being released.
[Modified Technique ― Extreme]
The opposing light and dark mana collided.
Crack!
They swirled and tangled chaotically, forming a gray sphere.
[Chaos Bullet]
Boom!
A thunderous roar that tore through the atmosphere echoed at close range.
Almost simultaneously.
A hole appeared in the body of the wyvern flying in the distance.
“Kwararararak!”
The wyvern plummeted to the ground with a scream.
To punch a hole through an S-rank monster’s chest in one shot.
As expected, Ingrid’s magical skills far exceeded common sense.
“Hiiik! This is Olson’s theory! When you perfectly balance light and dark attributes, instead of an explosion, it transforms into chaos attribute, ah. This isn’t the time to be organizing the conversion process…”
What is this.
It’s scary.
If the goal was to attack my mind, it succeeded.
I felt like I was going to lose my sanity from Emilia’s waterfall-like muttering.
“Haha. I’ll finish it off.”
[Imperial Swordsmanship (Modified)_Isra Form]
[6th Form ― Flash Cut]
[Aura Blade]
A blue-black sword pierced through the wyvern’s jaw and shot upward.
The Aura Blade easily penetrated the sturdy scales and hide.
[Experience has increased.]
[Level has increased.]
As expected of an S-rank monster.
Experience shot up significantly.
“Iron Head! The corpse is falling!”
Ingrid’s urgent voice.
Don’t worry.
At this distance, I can easily retrieve it.
[Death Space]
An ability that can retrieve corpses up to 30 meters away.
I often used it when retrieving Tigris when his charge was blocked.
But it was also useful for retrieving corpses at medium range.
“I really have nothing to do today, huh?”
“Hyung. Should we sing a song?”
“Just don’t stray from my side. You’ll die if you miss a step.”
“Ah, got it, hyung.”
I rang the alarm bell for the support team’s safety negligence.
But still.
How are we supposed to cross between these rocks.
“Leave it to the Girl.”
Ingrid modified her technique once again.
She fused wind magic and water magic to create a passage for us.
“This should be enough to go back and forth, right?”
“I was counting on you.”
It seems like even the S-rank Gate conquest will end easily?
* * *
Sofia came to observe Min-ho’s Gate conquest.
‘Just in case an accident might happen.’
Even though Yoo Jeong-kim had highly evaluated the Two Vassals’ military power.
Sofia couldn’t let her guard down.
Wind Valley wasn’t difficult because it was S-rank.
Even among S-rank Gates of the same level.
There weren’t many places with conquest difficulty this high.
It was fortunate that the generation time was recent.
Otherwise, the mana concentration would have risen, establishing it as a source of concern for the Guild.
‘The terrain itself is just too unfriendly.’
The wyverns’ force was one thing, but.
The interior of Wind Valley significantly restricted Hunters’ abilities.
It reduced the power of most elemental magic.
Warrior-type Hunters found it difficult even to find proper footing, making it burdensome to properly wield their weapons.
‘I can’t even imagine how much it hurt when I fell down there.’
There was a reason the example was so detailed.
Sophia only suffered minor injuries.
But one warrior-type Hunter sustained serious injuries and is currently recovering.
‘Sigh. I should stay by his side to prevent him from overexerting himself.’
He would understand once they entered the Gate.
If Min-ho pushed himself too hard and got injured.
It would be troublesome since it would disrupt tomorrow’s Gate conquest schedule.
Had about five minutes passed since she thought that?
“Krararrak!”
Seeing a wyvern that had been roaming over a hundred meters away crash down.
Sophia retracted the thoughts she had held just moments before.
“What did I just witness.”
Ingrid’s ability to combine and reconstruct magic spells.
Even when she saw it during the sparring match with James, it didn’t produce this level of power.
But to have destructive force capable of shooting down a wyvern with excellent magic resistance!
Sir Isra’s skills had also improved dramatically in just a few months.
It seemed like just yesterday he struggled to dispel James’s aura.
Now he slaughtered wyverns with Aura Blade.
What?
Don’t overexert yourself?
‘Did you foresee this far with just one look, Master?’
Should she be amazed by Yoo Jeong-kim’s observational skills?
Or.
“Haha. Let’s compete to see who can hunt more wyverns.”
“What are you saying, Iron Head, when you can’t even get off the rocks.”
“Hmm. Are you afraid you’ll lose?”
“Bring it on!”
Should she be amazed by the development speed of the Two Vassals who were burning with competitive spirit toward each other?
No.
She was thinking wrong.
The one who deserved praise was Min-ho, GGG’s business partner.
‘Tomorrow’s conquest. I don’t need to worry about it.’
But here’s the thing.
What would happen if they conquered the Gate they entered for warm-up?
Sophia shook her head from side to side.
Surely that wouldn’t happen.
A Gate that even GGG was researching conquest methods for.
For one A-rank Hunter to conquer it in less than a day?
‘I should suggest we return without overexerting ourselves.’
Various thoughts crossed her mind.
But the conclusion was the same.
Sophia decided to become Min-ho’s restraint during this Gate expedition.
