n“Thirty-eight.”

nThe appearance of the woman who said this stood out in many ways.

nShe wore bright, golden armor, had a short, sporty haircut and yet her beauty was eye opening.

nNone of these things were ordinary. But these weren’t what made her the most unique.

n“Two people are missing.”

nHer name was Kang Young-ji, a member of the Messiah Guild who was said to be among the best players under level 40 in the guild.

nMore precisely, she was deliberately not trying to pass level 40.

n“After reaching level 40 and waiting for a month…”

n

n

nShe’d reached level 40 more than a month ago and after that she had stopped trying to level up.

nThis was all in preparation to hunt the Horned Fox Dungeon.

nThe Horned Fox’s horn was worth a lot and she was willing to sacrifice a few months for it.

nIn other words she was determined to clear this dungeon somehow.

n“We just entered the dungeon yet two guys disappeared silently before the first battle?”

nHowever two people had already disappeared.

n“Sorry.”

nThis problem didn’t give a good or a bad feeling.

n“Don’t apologize. Send a search party.”

n“Yes?”

nThe dungeon was one that had been failed 12 times and the maximum number of entries was 40 people.

n“Send out a search party and bring the two of them back alive.”

nThe absence of 2 out of a group of 40 was a percentage that couldn’t be ignored as it represented 5% of the group.

n“Without the Needle Snake Hunter, the plan will change.”

nNeedless to say, when the Needle Snake Hunter’s group had been brought in by the Messiah Guild, they had been made the core of a plan.

n“Go quickly.”

nAt the words of Kang Young-ji the Messiah Guild members began to move hurriedly.

nKang Young-ji also prepared to move.

nThe other Messiah Guild members also became aware of the situation.

n“Do you want us to all move directly?”

n“It’s too dangerous,we should just send a team to search.”

nEveryone was a bit worried, but Kang Young-ji was different.

n“We need to be cautious in case the two of them intend to betray us.”

nBetrayal.

nEveryone shut up when they heard that word.

n“When you’ve first entered the Messiah guild you need to be wary of the things you hear. Don’t believe anyone but us.”

nThe Messiah Guild fought to save the world without caring about the other guilds.

nThe Messiah Guild members all stood and nodded at Kang Young-ji’s words.

n“Then let’s all move together.”

n“It’s better to exercise your body than stay still in the cold anyway.”

nIt wasn’t just the Messiah Guild Members who stood, members of the other guilds who had entered the dungeon with them also began to rise.

n“What should we do if we’re left alone?”

n“We should take a look too.”

nKang Young-ji looked at them with a smile.

n“This is not a joke and we are in a dungeon. We still need to watch the base camp.”

nAt that time, the players of the search party gathered around her. When she saw this, she put on her golden helmet.

n“Very well. Then shall we go see the skills of the First Needle Snake Hunter?”

n…

nKang Young-ji was an expert. Even within the Messiah Guild which was one of the top five guilds in the world, she was a person who could receive special treatment.

nIn fact, when she was just level 10 she’d received a scout offer that guaranteed billions of won.

nSo when she’d heard that someone had successfully hunted the Needle Snake, she was more annoyed than surprised.

nThere was a resentment because someone stole what she felt should’ve been hers. So this time she willingly agreed to the offer when she knew that the Needle Snake’s hunter would be in this dungeon.

nShe was prepared to show that she was much stronger than the so-called Needle Snake Hunter and she was very confident if they were to fight.

nBut her plan wasn’t so simple. She was planning to beat the First Needle Snake Hunter skillfully and put him below her. She would then work with him to fight to save the world, using him as a colleague or subordinate at the same approximate level.

nThat was the plan she’d had until a few moments ago.

n‘This is ridiculous.’ (TL: Dun Dun Dun…Another one bites the dust…)

nHowever, the moment she saw twenty fully armed Skeleton Soldiers slaughtering a group of monsters, she was forced to think again, even her common sense seemed to have shifted.

n‘How is that..?’

nOf course she’d heard the news.

nThe fact that Isaac Ivanov was a Necromancer with extremely strong skeletons was a rather famous story. The Messiah Guild also conducted serious investigations and discussions to see if it was worth it to nurture a Necromancer player. However, the Skeleton Soldiers that they had, simply weren’t strong enough.

n‘How can the skeletons fight so well?’

nThese Skeleton Soldiers’ fighting abilities were much higher than regular players.

nNo, they were like expert players.

n‘If it’s like this…’

nIt wasn’t easy for Kang Young-ji to think of a player who fought as well as they did.

nEventually a thought came to her mind.

nWhat would happen if they were made to fight that group of skeletons?

nGulp!

nA sound came from her throat.

n“Hey, what do we do captain?”

nThen the subordinate next to her asked a question.

nNot surprisingly, the men who came with her were also embarrassed.

nWhen Isaac Ivanov’s group disappeared, they came to rescue them. However no one needed rescue.

n“Should we help?”

nShould we help?

nWith that said, Kang Young-ji looked back at the battlefield.

n“It’s a good place to hunt, if he needs help we can go exercise our skills.”

nThis was his hunting ground and the screams of monsters could be heard throughout.

nKang Young-ji made a decision as she saw this.

n‘I’m not someone who can defeat him.’

nIsaac Ivanov was not someone who could just be beaten by anyone.

n

n

n‘I need to properly inform the guild.’

nFor this, the opinion of the Messiah Guild’s executive officers was needed.

nKang Young-ji was planning to properly describe Isaac Ivanov’s abilities to the guild.

n‘He must be on our side.’

nAlso she was intending to have them invite him to join the Messiah Guild.

nThen someone shouted.

n“There’s a big problem!”

n“What’s wrong?”

n“More monsters are coming!”

n(TL: I think the next chapter will really make up for the length of this one.)
