The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 79

079

Several hours of driving on a dirt road in a van that was about to explode.

Two operational teams arrived at the scene.

Huin’s face became serious as he got out of the car.

“Damn it…”

The situation on site was more serious than expected.

The village was already in chaos.

Houses and roads were already completely destroyed, and the surrounding area was full of citizens who had not yet been able to evacuate. There were countless people looking for lost children and children crying in the middle of the street after losing their parents.

But the monster was nowhere to be seen.

‘What an annoying guy…’

Huin frowned.

Doodle Bug Scorpion.

An ant ghost with the appearance of a scorpion.

According to the information gathered so far, it was a guy hiding underground, waiting for an opportunity to hunt.

Since we don’t know when and where they will show up, even if we send both operational teams into battle, it will take quite some time to subdue them.

In the meantime, citizens who were unable to evacuate will remain exposed to danger.

Huin quickly assessed the situation and raised his voice.

“Team 2, guide the citizens to a safe place first! “We are short on personnel, so we are also asking citizens for help!”

“yes!”

“Team 1 searches for monsters with me.”

The two operation teams moved to their respective positions in perfect order.

Huin also quickly took out the detector.

Although it was an old piece of equipment that was more than 20 years old, it was the only equipment that could detect the supernatural wave and determine the location of the monster.

Dudududu-.

Soon, a response was detected on the detector about 300 meters to the north.

“good. It’s not close to the rescue area. First, as we move north…”

coo coo coo-.

Suddenly the ground began to shake violently.

“What is it?”

“Certainly a monster?!”

Confused voices.

But Huin shook his head.

“No way. “It’s clear to the detector…”

Just as I was moving my gaze back to the detector screen.

Quagwang-!!

A huge scorpion soared from the ground.

“…Nothing is going right.”

The appearance of a different monster than expected.

Of course, there was no time to panic.

“A monster appears! “A monster appears!”

“Get into position quickly! “Don’t crowd around and spread out as much as possible!!”

Team leader Nguyen quickly took command.

“Attack! “Pour out all your skills!”

[Unique Skill: Destroyer]

[Unique Skill: Finger Pistol]

Bang―.

Quagwagwang—!

An all-out attack by the two operational teams followed, but little damage was done due to the hard shell.

“manager! “We don’t have enough firepower!”

“I think it will be difficult with our number of people!”

“Shut up and keep attacking! “Continue to increase the distance so that they cannot approach close positions!”

Team leader Nguyen shouted.

Fortunately, the monster that came out on the ground didn’t move much.

No matter how low the power is, it is not so much that it cannot catch monsters that are standing still.

That was the moment I thought about it.

Coo coo coo-.

“It’s all going back into the ground!”

“Keep attacking so they can’t get in! “Once you go in, you never know when you’ll come out again!!”

All kinds of skills began raining down on the monster, which was hastily hiding. But it still lacked firepower.

The monster eventually disappeared.

“….”

“….”

A heavy silence fell.

Everyone kept looking around without moving from their seats.

I couldn’t relax because I didn’t know when or where it would pop up again.

Team leader Nguyen cautiously opened his mouth to Huynh.

“Team leader, it’s absurd to say this. First, retreat, then join other forces and then again….”

“You cannot retreat. “I knew something else would happen in the meantime.”

“So you’re saying we all want to die here?! As long as we live, won’t we continue to subdue or not!”

Huin gritted his teeth.

Team Leader Nguyen’s judgment was accurate.

But it’s not because I didn’t know that that I didn’t allow the retreat.

If they even retreat in this situation where the lives of citizens are at stake, wouldn’t they be proving that they really have no power?

Above all, if we retreat here, what will happen to other villages?

“…I will do as much as I can.”

“We may be wiped out.”

“There’s nothing we can do about it then.”

Nguyen did not respond further.

In any case, the final decision currently rests with Huin, so he had to follow his orders whether he liked it or not.

Gu-gu-gu-gu-

soon the ground began to shake again.

“come. “Everyone, get ready.”

Nguyen opened his mouth with a cracking voice.

Everyone was ready for battle again.

Their expressions all seemed to be prepared for something.

Everyone was on edge, but the monster did not show up easily.

instead.

Ssssss―.

Suddenly the ground gave way and a large hole appeared.

“What is it?”

“It looks like it’s digging into sand from the inside.”

“Just in case, don’t go near the hole…”

The sand the operation team was stepping on began to be sucked toward the hole in a large circle.

It seemed like a whirlpool was forming on the ground.

“What the fuck… everyone come out quickly!”

Huin quickly shouted, thinking it was a mistake.

The operations team also tried to escape quickly, but it was already too late.

Ssssssssssssssssshhhh!

“Uh huh…?”

“Team leader T…!”

“Aaaah!!”

The whirlpool spun violently, threatening to suck everything in.

“Save me…!”

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!!”

Those who could not escape were buried in the sand before they could even use their hands. At the same time, it was sucked into the hole at high speed.

“What are you doing! catch!!”

Immediately Huin rushed over and stretched out his hand.

“Truong! board! “Come to your senses and join hands!!”

I raised my voice like I was dying, but it wasn’t enough on my own.

There was no reason left in the team members who were already completely panicked.

“Woo-eup….”

“Woop….”

“….”

The voices of those who fell into the sand hole gradually quieted down. It didn’t take long for everyone to completely disappear into the sand.

Huin was completely frozen in panic.

It happened so quickly.

There was absolutely nothing I could do.

Who on earth could face such a monster?

It was a time when even rational judgment was clouded by such thoughts.

[Unique Skill: Hyperpanic Berserker]

[Unique Skill: Thousand-Armed Guanyin]

Boom!!!

A black shadow flew in from somewhere and hit the hole directly.

Kieeeeeee!

A roar echoed from the ground.

At the same time, the whirlpool also stopped spinning.

Thanks to this, people who had been buried in the sand appeared again on the ground.

Huin raised his head with an embarrassed expression.

I wondered what on earth had happened.

That’s because the two women who should have been locked up in the base were right in front of him.

“How could you…”

Huin trailed off without realizing it.

‘What is it? Are they the same guys…?’

I felt a great sense of intimidation in the eyes of those women looking at me. It gave off a completely different atmosphere from the previous tension-free appearance.

To be more specific, the atmosphere is closer to that of a monster rather than a person.

“Ugh. “I knew it would be like this.”

At that moment, a familiar voice sounded low.

Huin unconsciously looked back.

“What nonsense is this? “Have you all tried to kill yourself?”

Kim Jun-woo was walking towards him with an expression that said everything was a hassle.

***

I was more annoyed than anything else.

I never thought there would be a fool who would make such a stupid plan…

“Why didn’t you retreat? “Did you want to pretend to be a hero?”

Unconditional retreat in case of emergency.

This is the most basic rule of subjugation.

If you throw your life away even though you could have escaped, you are not a hero, you are just a fool.

“You must have known that subjugation would not be possible under these conditions. Or are you planning to kill everyone here?”

“…What are you telling us to do? “If we don’t do this in the first place, there are no monsters we can subdue.”

Huin immediately clicked his tongue and continued speaking.

“What do these people who have received a lot of support from a good country know?”

“So you just tried to attack me with the intention of killing me?”

I let out a long sigh and shook my head.

“Is this ignorant or innocent?…”

“What what?”

“People eating in the dungeon must not die. Be it the operations team, the control team, or even the cleaning team. Isn’t this basic? “What do you plan to do with the remaining dungeons if you all leave for the other world since we already don’t have enough people to subdue them?”

“Do you think someone is doing this because they don’t know that? “Because I don’t have the ability, even if it’s like this…!”

“You’re fighting to the death because you don’t have the ability? Cut out the bullshit. “The truly incompetent person is your superiors who made it impossible to subdue even a single green-level monster without being prepared to die.”

“….”

Huin’s mouth became stiff.

What a shocked face.

I told it like it is, so I don’t know why you’re so surprised.

“Don’t be mistaken. You are not without ability. There is no capable leader. Look at the situation now. “Isn’t this what happens when orders for subjugation are issued without any consideration of the situation or conditions of the operation team?”

“….”

Huin still remained silent.

Now I think I understand why he didn’t even listen to my words that I would help him.

It’s not that you didn’t believe me.

These guys just despaired of reality and lost confidence.

Coo coo coo-.

It was then.

The ground shook again and the sand began to swirl.

I quickly figured out the number of people.

‘8 melee players and 11 ranged players… I looked at it earlier and the skills of the wizard classes seem to be pretty good…’

I guess this is enough.

“Here we come again! Everyone, escape quickly…!”

“no. Don’t avoid, attack. “If you attack the ground, a monster will pop out.”

“what?”

“I’m telling you to hit the ground with all your skills. “Don’t make me say it twice.”

There was no time for a war of words, so I spoke firmly.

If you miss this opportunity, there is nothing you can do about it no matter who comes.

“It’s okay just this once, so please do as I say.”

“…Fuck.”

“I don’t know, damn it.”

It was already too late to avoid it.

Although the hunters were skeptical, they all poured their skills towards the ground.

thud-!

Unable to withstand the skill flowing into the ground, the monster appeared outside.

“Uh huh…?”

“Now you can attack.”

The hunters’ skills were aimed at the monster this time.

Me, Kim Min-ju, and Han Yu-bin quietly watched their attack from behind.

I wanted to take this opportunity to figure out my power.

Well, actually, it’s obvious even if you don’t look at it.

‘Tsk, the firepower is weak too.’

The highest one is like a B-rank pull-up, and the rest are all CD-rank.

“With that kind of power, we’ve successfully subdued them so far.”

“Is it okay if I don’t help you?”

Minju Kim asked worriedly, but I firmly shook my head.

“What does that mean? “You have to try it yourself.”

Scorpion-type monsters have very high basic defense thanks to their hard carapace.

But on the contrary, the attack itself is not that threatening. To compensate for this, they hide in the ground and attack, but if even that is blocked, they become vulnerable to all attacks.

Even if you lack equipment and personnel, it is a monster that can be easily defeated.

Kieeeeeee—

the monster, which was taking the attack with its body fully exposed, soon screamed.

Sensing danger, he tried to dig back into the ground, but in vain. Because the skill was poured into the ground, the sand hardened like a stone.

“Everyone, please focus. “They knew there was nowhere to run, so they would attack indiscriminately.”

“Spread out the long distance positions a little more. Don’t get caught up in nothing. Anyway, the main attack has to be done by melee people. Think of it as support.”

“There’s swordsman class! Even if you hit it with a hundred blades, you won’t even get a scratch on it! “Aim for the head!”

“We’re almost there. For the wizard class, keep giving them skills so they can’t hide on the ground. “Priests, use debuff skills to tie down the monster’s movements as much as possible.”

“great. Everyone just do that.”

From then on, I made detailed adjustments and attacked the monster from a sufficient distance.

As time passed and results were seen, the hunters’ movements gradually improved.

A few minutes passed like that.

“Huh, huh, huh…”

“Uh, huh…”

Thump –

The monster fell down with a heavy sound amid heavy breathing.

Soon cheers rang out from everywhere.

We were hugging each other and yelling… It wasn’t all that crazy.

I don’t really understand why they make such a fuss after just catching one green grade monster, but…

well, they say they are happy, so what can they do?

“so.”

I opened my mouth to the person among them.

“Are you willing to listen to me now?”

“….”

Instead of answering, he looked at me with a stern expression.
