nKill The Hero – Chapter 134 – White Troll (3)

nTranslator: Seven

nEditor: Ana_Banana

nClever hunters never rushed.

nWhether they succeeded or failed, they would prepare for the next hunt without haste.

nAnd that’s what the White Troll did.

nThe fact that it managed to catch two players in one hunt didn’t mean much.

nCrunch! Crunch!

nIt simply ate its prey while preparing for the next hunt.

nThis behaviour also stemmed from its confidence.

n

n

nCrunch! Crunch!

nConfidence in the fact that the prey in its territory did not pose any threat to it.

nIt was the same confidence that a lion in the grasslands, who wasn’t afraid that a deer would attack him, had.

nKrrr?

nTherefore the White Troll was confused when he saw his deer, the players, moving towards him instead of running away.

nOf course, his confusion didn’t last long.

nKrrr!

nRegardless of what they planned, the White Troll never expected the players to be able to severely hurt him.

nInstead, this guy who had never encountered players before was interested in this prey that came to him on its own.

nSwish!

nIt was an arrow which flew through the trees with an eerie sound that changed that thought.

nIn a straight line instead of a parabola, the arrow flew the trees like a snake before digging deep into the Trolls face, right below its eye.

nPuk!

nA bone-chilling sound could be heard as the arrow stuck into its flesh.

nBut that was the only sound. However, as the White Troll did not scream or react in any way to the arrow.

nFor the White Troll, there was no reason for him to scream over such an attack which was the equivalent of a scratch.

nBut then he realised the problem.

nThe area where the arrow and stabbed him, which should have healed already, was instead turning black.

nIt was a completely unexpected event.

nKrrr?

nThe players received a notification while the White Troll in front of them was still unsure of what was happening.

nThe White Troll has been afflicted by Blood Poison.

nThe notification was the sign that Kim Woo-jin’s blood poison had taken effect.

nImmediately after the notification was heard, other sounds began to fill the soon to be battlefield.

n“Charge!”

n“Charge!”

nThe battle began.

n…

nEven if you are a very good player, your field of view is bound to narrow once you start fighting.

nRoar!

nThis was especially true for the tanks who had to deal with the monsters up close.

n“Dammit it’s enormous.”

n“Don’t try to block it, dodge! If you try to block you will get sent flying!”

n“It’s hard to even breathe right now.”

nThey were in situations where they had to give up their attention on everything else and focus on blocking or dodging the attacks from the monsters that they were facing.

nThat was why it was important to have someone with the ability to command take part in such battles.

nThe others wouldn’t know, but the commander would have to pay attention to the monster’s condition and the current situation before deciding what actions should be taken.

n“His movements are getting faster!”

nAnd that was why Jeong Yeon-hong was the leader of her group.

n“And there are many obstacles around Jeong-su. Tell him to get out of there immediately!”

n“Yes!”

nEven in the situation where she was constantly pulling the string of her bow, she paid attention to the White Troll’s status, assessed the situation of her teammates and commanded the group in real time.

n‘She’s not bad.’

nEven in the eyes of Kim Woo-jin, her commanding skills weren’t bad.

n‘She deserves to be the leader.’

nThat was why there was no shortage of players who were willing to follow her even with her dirty personality.

n‘But it’s still not enough.’

nOf course, it was only better when looking at it from an average point of view, but when looking at it from Kim Woo-jin’s standards, it was not satisfactory.

n‘It needs to be more natural.’

nIf her abilities were up to Kim Woo-jin’s standards at this point then she would not have had to suffer under him to such an extent in the future to the point where she tried to kill and got beaten four times.

n‘If they keep going like this then at least four people will die.’

nThat was why Kim Woo-jin was convinced that although they would defeat the troll, they would still pay a heavy price to do so.

nKim Woo-jin in the past would not have been concerned about it.

nBut it was different now.

n‘It’s time to stop pretending to be weak.’

nKim Woo-jin’s purpose in this dungeon was to show Park Yong-wan his abilities and value and the current situation was the best way to do so.

n“The more the poison accumulates, the less the Trolls physical ability will be.”

nThat was why Kim Woo-jin stepped forward.

n“Then he will speed up his movements.”

n“Speak clearly.”

n“It means that he will reveal his full power.”

n“Isn’t this his full power now?”

n“He’s a smart one. He knows how to leave some gas to accelerate at any time. Remember the first time he attacked us. How did he move?”

nAlong with those words, Kim Woo-jin extended his hand toward Jeong Yeon-hong.

nOn his palm were arrowheads made using his blood weapon skill.

nIn that position, Kim Woo-jin continued.

n“The moment he slows down will be the most dangerous moment. That is when you should retreat unconditionally. In particular, Lee Jin-soo, was injured in an attack from the troll two minutes ago, he just didn’t notice it because of the adrenaline in his system. You should get him off of the battlefield.”

nWhen she heard his words, Jeong Yeon-hong stared at him for a moment before taking the arrowheads from his hand.

n“You, bastard.”

nAfter a short curse, Jeong Yeon-hong changed some of her arrowheads to the ones that she had just received

n“The lives of my team and me are very expensive, so you better take care of us.”

nWith that, she gave an order to her party.

n“From now on, this guy is in charge!”

nAfter she said that, Kim Woo-jin also spoke.

n“Then I’ll speak informally from now on.”

nAfter saying that, Kim Woo-jin began to command the team with a cold but calm tone.

n“Lee Jin-soo, get out of the battlefield, Lim Hye-sun, move to the front line. And Jo Joo-hyuk, shut up and focus on the battle.”

n…

nThere were many abilities that a commander needed to have.

nMost importantly these abilities weren’t things that you could develop or acquire just because you wanted to.

nIt was only developed after you had the talent and was also lucky enough to survive tragic experiences.

nIn that sense, Jeong Yeon-hong and her team were quite lucky.

n“His pace has changed. He’s losing his balance so we’ll retreat in a spiral.”

nThey were experiencing the best commanding that they could receive at this time.

n“The poison has spread all over his body.”

nSo 49 minutes after the battle with the White Troll had begun.

nCrash!

nThe White Troll, a monster with the terrifying nickname, ‘Veteran Hunter’, fell to the ground.

nYou have earned the achievement ‘White Troll Hunter’

nThe Emissary of the Underworld admires your abilities.

nThe Emissary of the Underworld has bestowed some power unto you.

nThe rank of the Blood Weapon skill has increased by one.

nOn the third day after entering the third floor of the dungeon, the terrifying monster had been defeated.

nIt was very surprising.

nWasn’t it just three days ago that everyone thought running away was their best chance at survival?

nIt was like a group of deer hunting down a lion in the wild.

nThat was why.

n‘We got him?’

n‘Did we really hunt a White Troll?’

nEven though the hunt was successful, the players were still in doubt instead of cheering their victory.

nThere was one more thing that surprised them even more.

n‘No one died?’

n‘Is this even possible?’

nThere were zero casualties.

nIn front of this fact, Jeong Yeon-hong, who had experienced all sorts of hardships, could not help but be surprised.

n‘Does this make sense? This is his debut isn’t it?’

nAbove all this should be Kim Woo-jin’s first time attacking a 3 Floor Dungeon.

nIt was his first time entering the third floor and his first time facing a White Troll.

nYet he still saved everyone.

n

n

n“Who are you?” (TL: or ‘What are you?’)

nThat was the only question that came to Jeong Yeon-hong’s mind as she looked at Kim Woo-jin.

n“We’ll talk about that outside the dungeon in three days.”

nKim Woo-jin gave her a smile and a short response. (TL: Kim Woo-jin smiled at someone?!)

n“Then I look forward to our kind cooperation.”

nThis was the moment that the name Kim Woo-jin would become known to the world.

n“Ah, and as promised, divide the troll’s corpse and store it in your inventories so that you can give it to me when we leave the dungeon. I’ll weigh it accurately so please don’t try to cheat me. I would also like my 1 billion won per person. The payment should be made within a week after we clear the dungeon, any later and you will incur interest.”

n“What?”

n“And you have used my blood poison as a weapon 318 times. That is 73,123 won per use.”

nAnd it was a very, very well known moment.
