Kill the Hero

Chapter 212 – Attack (3)

Editor: Ana_Banana

Grrr!

The fifth floor of the dungeon was a forest that was on fire.

The trees in this forest looked the same as normal trees except for the fact that the trunks, branches and leaves were all made of charcoal.

Fire Trees.

This was a forest made from this mysterious type of tree that could only be found in dungeons.

It was an indescribably terrifying forest.

This forest was one that couldn’t be inhabited by normal living creatures because they would be choked by the stifling heat of the flames till their lungs dried out.

Grrr!

And in this forest of Fire Trees, a dog could be seen walking slowly.

This dog, which was made entirely of fire, soon stopped in front of a Fire Tree, that, unlike the others, was burning with blue flames.

Chch!

After that, the dog’s body began changing.

This small dog suddenly became a lizard with a long neck, which used its long neck to eat the flames of the blue Fire Tree.

Foxfire.

This was a monster that only appeared in 5 Floor dungeons and above which had the ability to transform into any other monster.

Naturally, as it was a monster made of fire, physical attacks had almost no effect on this monster, and even magical attacks were not very effective.

Chch!

Proof of its formidability came from the fact that no other creature dared get too close to the Foxfire.

For the first time in a long time, something dared to appear in front of the Foxfire.

And it wasn’t just an appearance.

“Hooo.”

The short breath this person exhaled revealed clear hostility and killing intent towards the Foxfire.

Naturally, the person who appeared was none other than Kim Woo-jin.

Dressed in the Nemean Lion’s skin, Kim Woo-jin stood in front of the monster with Ganjang and Makya in both hands.

Chch!

When Kim Woo-jin appeared, the bizarre sound was heard once again as the Foxfire changed its appearance.

Surprisingly, it took the form of a dog again.

A hunting dog that could quickly escape at any time.

It was quite eerie.

The moment he exposed a flaw, the Foxfire would transform into a huge monster, and all he’d be able to do was scream in pain as his body was burned by its flames.

However, there was no sign of fear or hesitation in Kim Woo-jin as he looked at the Foxfire with golden eyes.

Those were by no means the eyes of a warrior prepared to die.

‘With this, I just have two left.’

Instead, they were the eyes of a hunting dog who’d found the prey.

‘I just need to get those two from the Messiah Guild.’

Kim Woo-jin, the owner of those eyes, muttered quietly.

“Protection of the Sun.” (TL: descriptions below)

[Gawain’s Necklace emits the Protection of the Sun.]

[Protection of the Sun skill activated.]

Then he heard another notification.

[King Arthur’s Ring buffs the power of Gawain’s Necklace.]

[The Protection of the Sun skill becomes even stronger.]

It was a notification of the start of the hunt.

…

The Burning Forest.

Kim Woo-jin, who was standing alone in this forest slowly put the swords in his hands back into his inventory.

Lee Jin-ah, who had watched everything from a distance with eyes filled with astonishment, couldn’t help but voice his thoughts.

“Crazy bastard.”

His fearful voice reached Kim Woo-jin’s ears.

[Your level has increased.]

[Earned the Achievement ‘Foxfire Hunter’.]

[Earned the Achievement ‘Solo Foxfire Hunter’.]

[Inventory increased by five spaces due to the achievement’s effect.]

And he also heard the notifications signifying the end of the dungeon.

[The Emissary of the Underworld has fallen in love with your ability.]

[The rank of the Vampire skill has increased by one.]

[The rank of the Book of the Dead skill has increased by one.]

Then he received the notifications filled with favoritism.

However, Kim Woo-jin didn’t read the notifications.

In fact, he paid no attention to them at all.

He simply picked up the burning tail in front of him and placed it in his inventory.

It was then.

[The dungeon has been cleared.]

[You have cleared the dungeon. A Skill Stone(A) has been awarded.]

When he heard the notification, the look in Kim Woo-jin’s eyes changed and he shouted.

“Lee Jin-ah, get ready.”

Then a dungeon gate appeared in front of them.

…

Surprisingly, Rumors did not spread very well in the Amazon Rainforest.

In this place without an owner, the value of information was very high.

However, there was no such thing as cooperation in this place.

Even if people could work together or share information, they usually wouldn’t because betrayal was commonplace in that place.

This place was like a mud pit where the reckless would never be able to survive.

“How long has Isaac Ivanov’s party been in there?”

“It’s been three weeks now.”

In other words, this meant that the few who had gathered to the dungeon gate Isaac Ivanov was in were not reckless.

They were sufficiently prepared and informed in order to catch the prey they were after.

“What about the gate?”

“There are thousands of mines. Some of them were planted by us.”

It was a basic tactic to prevent the prey from running by covering the location with landmines.

“What about sensors? Have you installed any surveillance sensors?”

“I barely managed to do it with a drone.”

They had even installed surveillance and alarm sensors over the minefield with drones.

“The problem was that we weren’t the only ones.”

They had already gone to such a level, so no one had any doubt.

“At this point, it’s impossible for Isaac Ivanov’s party to escape.”

“He’ll definitely get caught.”

No matter how powerful Isaac Ivanov and his team were, they would have no choice but to become helpless prey in this situation.

“Oh!”

“They came out!”

Then, the signal came.

“Isaac Ivanov is out!”

“It’s time to be hunting dogs!”

At that moment, the would-be hunters became filled with excitement.

“If we catch him, we’ll get at least three legendaries!”

“That’s about three A+ rank dungeons!”

This once in a lifetime opportunity made them go crazy.

There seemed to be no place for reason.

“Huh?”

But it didn’t take long before cold water was poured onto their heads.

“Why are they moving so fast?”

“What?”

“Ah, wait! They disappeared!”

…

“The Amazon Rainforest?”

When talking about the dangers of the Amazon Rainforest, many people compared it to a dungeon.

This analogy wasn’t exactly wrong.

“Monsters and outlaws with weapons are everywhere. And regardless of what happens, the world would never find out.”

This was because the Amazon’s ecosystem wasn’t very different to dungeons.

However, they were only similar. There was a clear difference between the Amazon Rainforest and a dungeon.

The Amazon Rainforest was actually far more dangerous than a dungeon.

This was because you could use all the cutting edge equipment you couldn’t use in dungeons, like guns or tracking equipment, to your heart’s content.

From a certain perspective, having to deal with armed personnel was simply hell.

The Lightning King’s disciple, Shakira, knew that fact better than anyone.

It was almost impossible to escape in the Amazon Rainforest if you were being hunted.

“So, after leaving the dungeon gate, they bypassed the minefield without any issues?”

“Yes.”

“And after that, despite the countless pursuers and surveillance equipment, they disappeared like ghosts?”

“That’s correct.”

But now, Isaac Ivanov’s party had done just that.

After exiting the dungeon gate, they evaded their pursuers in an indescribably perfect manner.

“The next thing you found…”

“Were traces of a meal.”

And even during this escape, they still had time to eat, and even left evidence of it.

From Shakira’s perspective, this wasn’t good news.

The Lightning King had said it clearly.

Bring him Isaac Ivanov, or bring him his corpse.

It was a second chance for Roberto. There would be no third chance after the second.

In addition, Shakira would also not get a third chance if she failed.

“Haha.”

Nevertheless, she couldn’t stop herself from laughing.

“A meal. So a man who was able to completely erase all his tracks in the Amazon Rainforest left behind the traces of a meal.”

That was how ridiculous this situation was to her.

“All I can do is laugh.”

At that moment, she wasn’t even thinking about the fearsome Lightning King.

Instead, there was just one thing on her mind.

“What the hell are you planning?”
