I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 58

Episode 058

In any strategy team, the calmest, calmest, and most rational hunter becomes the leader.

Civilians thought that the strongest hunter would become the leader, but strength did not matter.

The leader of Seo Ji-han’s strategy team was not Seo Ji-han, a strong offensive hunter, but Ban Seo-hoo, a defensive type with the most cautious personality.

The team’s tendencies are largely divided depending on the leader’s tendencies.

If the leader is a battle fanatic who only shouts battle, battle, battle without rest, everyone will die from exhaustion while cutting.

That’s why it is said that the leader is always the person who is the most cautious and worried.

At the same time, Seo Ji-han said that I was the right type to be a leader, but I still don’t know if that was an insult or a compliment.

That’s because they said that people who ‘worry a lot unnecessarily’ are good as leaders. Umm.

“Hey, do you really want to get laid?”

The atmosphere suddenly became dangerous.

Ban Seo-jin, with a murderous look on his face, walked with long strides and came right in front of Baek Dae-man.

It felt like they were going to grab me by the collar, so I was just nervous.

No, it hasn’t even been 5 minutes since we entered, and we’re fighting like this? really?

“hey? “Did you say hey now?”

“Oh my, is our leader deaf? “Is this how you can sleep without even hearing the monsters?”

“It’s because the girl has such a dirty mouth.”

“what? “Have you said everything?”

Noh Hee-mang and Noh Mirae are the oldest people in this position, so I would like them to stop me, but neither of them seem to have any intention of joining.

Oh my, No Hope took out a bottle of alcohol from his inventory and was drinking it.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere got worse and worse and they were on the verge of punching each other.

It’s ruined, it’s ruined.

This team is ruined.

Unlike me, who was lamenting, Seo Ji-han’s eyes were sparkling and he was blushing.

“What’s so funny?”

I asked quietly, and he grinned.

– Isn’t it rather interesting if it’s such a mess? Just enjoy it. They say watching a fight is the most fun. Did you bring popcorn?

“Did you bring it?”

– That’s a shame. Eat some snacks.

“That’s Okay.”

As I was shaking my head, Seo Ji-han took out some transparent ghost popcorn and put on movie theater glasses and started watching the fight between the two.

Aren’t you only allowed to change clothes there? Where did you get that from?

“I wish someone would stop me.”

– It will be soon.

There was no need to ask, “Who is it?”

Not long after Seo Ji-han finished speaking, I felt an ominous rumble in the ground.

A subtle vibration that makes you feel like doo-doo-doo.

Even if you give in a hundred times, it is not a sign that a person can make.

As the ground shaking became stronger, Baek Dae-man and Ban Seo-jin, who were about to have a fight, also turned their heads to one side.

This is the direction where the sound is felt.

Noh Mi-rae, who had been sitting blankly, got nervous and took out her weapon, while Noh Hee-mang got up from her seat only after she had finished drinking the remaining alcohol.

And Chungwangryu appeared to stop the fight between Baek Dae-man and Ban Seo-jin.

It was a giant spider boasting pitch-black fangs.

One, two, three…

I counted them quickly and there were about thirteen.

– All the monsters here are poisonous insects. I drank the detox potion beforehand, so there’s nothing to worry about. Most of them are soft.

It doesn’t look very soft.

Unlike the top-ranked horse who spoke in a heartless tone, the sight of thirteen giant spiders was like a nightmare.

Perhaps it was the same for everyone else, but unlike before, I felt a distinct sense of nervousness.

“Active morale boost.”

Noh Heemang must have used some kind of skill. Light appeared on the team members’ bodies for a moment and then disappeared.

I’m not sure what it is, but I feel a little calmer and more focused on the battle.

My body seems to have become a bit lighter.

Although it was very, very, very small.

Noh Hee-man is still an auxiliary hunter.

Everyone was holding something that looked like a weapon, as if they had taken it out at some point.

The only ones with bare hands were me and Noh Hope.

Ah, Noh Hee-mang is also holding a broken bottle of alcohol that she has already finished drinking.

The cross section of that bottle is sharp.

If you point it at a person, it is classified as a weapon and the sentence goes up, but no…

Baek Dae-man was wearing a mace that looked like a vicious massage stick, and Ban Seo-jin was wearing knuckles with long fingernails.

Noh Mirae was also wearing a faintly glowing shield, and the light seemed to be a skill effect.

I should have bought some kind of weapon too.

However, there were no equipment items on the market.

But when I looked at it closely, I realized that those weren’t just items, but regular weapons, and I should have bought some of those.

“There are so many of them!”

Baek Dae-man continued to swing his weapon while spitting out half-swear words.

Seo Ji-han said they are soft, but they seem to be a formidable opponent.

Baek Dae-man and Ban Seo-jin, who were at the forefront, were already showing signs of being overwhelmed.

Noh Mi-rae stepped forward whenever the two became dangerous as they fought with the spider.

The monster that touched his shield retreated for a moment as if it had lost its will to fight.

However, the two people were still unable to inflict fatal injuries on the spiders, so their numbers did not decrease.

In the midst of the melee, I was looking for an opportunity to fire the Chungwang cannon.

It wasn’t easy because we were fighting so closely together.

But you have to do it.

And finally, aiming for the moment when the two groups took a slight step back, he fired the Chungwang Cannon.

In a weaker version that can be fired by hand.

The beam of light extending from my hand hit the one at the back of the thirteen spiders directly.

His plump stomach burst open and he died.

Internal organs and other by-products were sticking out, and the floor was slightly corroded due to the poisonous fluid that had flowed out.

Then, when the second and third strikes were fired, the number of spiders began to decrease rapidly.

Since there was a blocking line in front, it was easy to just aim and shoot.

And the number of spiders gradually decreased until there were only two left.

I used up all my mana almost exactly.

I don’t think I need to drink the magic recovery potion.

I thought so and thought the battle ended relatively leisurely, but that wasn’t the case.

“Damn it!”

Baek Dae-man shouted harshly, looking exhausted, as if his stamina had already been almost depleted.

I soon found out why.

A follow-up unit had arrived behind the passage through which these spiders entered.

This time it’s a scorpion.

There will be no end like this.

I took a magic recovery potion from my inventory and drank it.

“Step back. “Everyone this way!”

I raised my hand and activated Chungwangpo.

The three people who turned around saw the power shining in my hand and quickly left the scene as if they felt something.

And then my Chungwang Cannon exploded.

On the ceiling part of the passage.

Quiang!

A beam of light shattered the rocky area of the ceiling.

With the loud sound of falling rocks, dust rushed in like a tidal wave.

Then, suffocating coughing sounds came from all over the place.

After the dust settled, I looked and found that the passage that had been infested with monsters was clogged with stones and rocks.

A few unlucky animals may have been crushed to death, but what looks like insect legs can be seen between the stones.

Still, there will still be quite a few people left on the other side.

Still, I found time to recover my stamina.

“For now, think of it as a temporary barricade. “Let’s set up camp here.”

Fortunately, no one objected to my quietly presented proposal.

“It’s been a while.”

“I felt a little tired somehow.”

Ban Seo-jin smiled and accepted my words, which was rare.

good. The atmosphere isn’t bad. Please let’s just keep it like this.

However, only Baek Dae-man betrayed my wishes and frowned.

“Are you tired already? This is why…”

Have you lost your sense of being a leader somewhere?

Why do you keep arguing with your teammates when you can’t help but coordinate to prevent fights?

I wondered what would happen when the second game started, but Ban Seo-jin just laughed.

“Take a breath and speak. “My face is going to explode.”

As he said, Baek Dae-man was breathing heavily.

Her red-faced face was shining under the light of the luminaire.

In fact, he seemed to be having a harder time than Ban Seo-jin, but he seemed reluctant to show it.

If this continues, we will fight again.

I felt like drying them wouldn’t work anyway, so I started preparing for camping on my own.

I took out the dungeon bonfire from my inventory, placed it in place, and lit a fire.

The dungeon bonfire, which sells for about 100,000 won on the market, was convenient because once it was set up, it could be retrieved at any time.

No toxic gases are released when lighting a fire.

In addition, special effects were provided depending on the firewood put inside.

Special effects can be achieved by basking in the warmth of a bonfire, and garnid firewood is mainly used.

It is the cheapest, most common, and effective.

The special effect of Garnid firewood is an improvement in overall physical condition.

I had a lot of Garnid logs that I got from the last Beast King dungeon, but since they were just raw logs, they were not appropriate to use as firewood, so I bought some Garnid firewood separately.

Meanwhile, we also sold some logs.

Anyway, the fact that I could carry this much firewood without consuming almost any inventory made it worth using.

The price is not very expensive either.

“I burned Garnid.”

Ignoring Baek Dae-man, who was fussing about something, Ban Seo-jin approached the fire and sat down.

Under the burning green light, faces stained with the monsters’ bodily fluids were visible.

Baek Dae-man’s appearance as he walked hurriedly was also similar to her.

“Wipe it.”

I took out a wet tissue from my inventory and handed it to him.

Seo-Jin Ban looked at the wet tissues with me for a moment, then pulled out a few with some hesitation.

I handed it to Baek Dae-man, but he shook his head.

“I’m going to keep fighting, but I need to clean it up now. “Well, I think it’s a bit different for someone who is neat and tidy.”

As Baek Dae-man continued to get on his nerves, Ban Seo-jin seemed to have decided not to deal with him at all.

At that attitude, Baek Dae-man’s face relaxed a little, perhaps because he thought he had won.

And Noh Hee-mang, who was in a state of despair, quietly approached me.

As I sat quietly next to the campfire, my head and body, tired from the use of magical power, seemed to be feeling slightly better.

But even as time passed, Noh Mirae had no intention of coming.
