Jin-Woo scratched the top of his head, looking somewhat troubled, before replying with a question of his own.
"What, you want to hunt it, then?"
Jin-Woo turned around even before Yoo Jin-Ho had the chance to respond. There was no need to listen to his reply, anyway.
Even now, Yoo Jin-Ho was barely managing to stand up straight as his legs continued to shudder.
'He'll just get in my way, anyway.'
Jin-Woo slowly approached the spider.
The spider must've discovered the humans' presence as well, as it was changing its direction towards them while shuffling on its eight legs.
It was coming closer.
As if it found the never-before-seen prey rather strange, the spider didn't immediately rush out. Using its thick and long legs to push down on the ground, it inched closer and closer.
"Keuruk."
Finally, the spider stood before Jin-Woo. Then, it raised its two front legs and bent them at an angle.
'What is it trying to do?'
His curiosity lasted only for a brief moment – Jin-Woo's eyes shot open wide next.
*SLAM!!*
If he didn't instinctively tilt his body out of the way, the spider's legs would've penetrated his chest just now.
Jin-Woo sneaked a glance behind him.
The stone floor now had a pretty substantial hole in it.
Jin-Woo also made his move as he dashed towards the spider.
*Slam!* *Boom!* *Kwahng!* *Kaboom!*
*Slam!* *Boom!* *Kwahng!* *Kaboom!*
The spider's legs stabbed and destroyed the ground so loudly that his ears felt numb from the pain.
Jin-Woo evaded the spider's attacks one by one and got closer and closer to the monster.
Meanwhile, Jin-Ho couldn't quite believe his own eyes.
"Wha-what the hell is up with this guy?!"
Seeing that efficient and calm movement, Jin-Woo felt a chill run down his backside.
"And he's supposed to be an E rank?!"
There was no freaking way.
An E-rank doing something that a D-rank Hunter such as himself couldn't even dream of doing?
There could only be one explanation for this.
'...He is a false ranker!!'
Yoo Jin-Ho's expression hardened. He nervously swallowed his saliva.
Suddenly, Jin-Woo seemed far scarier than the spider.
'And just why did I have to insist on coming to this place….?'
Jin-Woo activated all his skills to finish the spider.
The fight occurred the same as in the canon.
Standing on top of the spider's head, Jin-Woo began stabbing the eyes of the spider with his dagger.
*Stab!* *Stab!* *Staaab!!*
*ROOOAAARR!!!*
*Stab!* *Stab!!*
*ROOAARR?!!*
Eventually, the huge body of the spider finally tilted to the side.
*THUD!!!*
However, Jin-Woo didn't keep his hand. No, he kept going at it, until the spider was dead for sure.
*Stab!* *Stab!!* *Stab!!!*
"Keuruk. Keureureureu…."
Along with the final gasps from the spider, several messages popped up in his view.
[You've killed the owner of this dungeon.]
[Level up!]
"I did it!"
When he collected the cores of the monsters and counted them, they were twelve in number.
"I hit the jackpot this time!"
Jin-Woo was just here to experience yet he was able to raise his level by one again which was a huge plus for him.
Till now he was fighting against C and D-level monsters so the new experience was something.
"H-hyung-nim."
When Jin-Woo looked back, he saw Jin-Ho there.
"Please, put them in here."
Yoo Jin-Ho then proceeded to carefully tuck the magic crystals belonging to Jin-Woo inside his equipment bag. Next, he reached inside the corner of the same bag and pulled out a Thermos, before pouring the flask's contents on its lid.
"Hyung-nim, you must be feeling thirsty. Please, drink this. It's water."
Indeed, it was a cold, refreshing cup of water, filled right up to the edge.
'Why is this kid doing something no one asked him to?'
Since Jin-Woo was feeling thirsty anyway, he took the Thermos lid to drink the water.
"Let's get out of here."
"Yes, hyung-nim."
Jin-Woo began walking towards the entrance.
Before they reached it, though, there was a sudden flash of light, and the rocks blocking up the entrance collapsed.
*Boom!*
Afterward, Hwang Dong-Suk and his goons rushed into the boss's room. As soon as they spotted the dead spider behind Jin-Woo, their expressions became dumbfounded.
"What the hell?! Is it really dead?!"
"Did those two hunt it?"
"That spider must've been nothing much, even with that big body and all."
"Well, if a rank D and a rank E managed to kill it, then…."
"Hwang hyung, what should we do now?"
Hwang Dong-Suk scratched his chin while gazing at Jin-Woo and Yu Jin-Ho.
So, he changed his plan and tried to get Yoo Jin-Ho to get on his side and kill Jin-Woo.
Yoo Jin-Ho turned his head to his side. Jin-Woo shrugged his shoulders as his answer. He was implying that Jin-Ho should do whatever he felt like.
With a determined expression, Jin-Ho unsheathed the sword on his hips.
'Finally, he made up his mind, huh.'
A smile formed on Hwang Dong-Suk's mouth. Unfortunately for him, his expectation was not met. Still holding that sword, Jin-Ho stood alongside Jin-Woo.
"Ho-oh? So, you wanna team up with that guy and fight us, is that right?"
Hwang Dong-Suk muttered softly.
Seeing that his persuading failed, he ordered Cho Kyuhwan to finish Jin-Woo first then they would deal with Jin-Ho.
The magician's hands began emitting bright light next.
Seeing this, Jin-Woo's eyes narrowed to a slit.
'In the end, they want to have a go, huh.'
...But then, this happened.
Tti-ring.
There was that mechanical beep again.
[An Emergency Quest has been generated.]
'An Emergency Quest?!'
Jin-Woo raised his head and checked its content.
[Emergency Quest: Kill all the enemies!]
Lifeforms are holding murderous intentions towards the 'Player'. Kill them all to secure your own safety. If you do not follow this instruction, a corresponding penalty will be given.
The number of enemies left to kill: 8
The number of killed enemies: 0
Jin-Woo's eyes opened wider.
'To complete the quest, Hwang Dong-Suk and his teammates must all die?!'
It was then, a beam of light flashed right before his eyes. The light beams left Cho Kyu-Hwan's hands and flew straight at Jin-Woo.
Boom!!
Flung away by the explosion, Jin-Woo's figure flew at a frightening speed and slammed into the cave wall.
Slam!!
"Hyung-nim!!"
Yoo Jin-Ho froze on the spot from surprise.
"Don't sweat over the dead guy and why don't you come over here?" Hwang Dong-Suk beckoned with his fingers.
Jin-Ho stared at the spot where Jin-Woo was. Just like what Hwang Dong-Suk had implied, Jin-Woo wasn't moving an inch as he remained buried under the debris.
"You…. you murderers…."
Tears pooled around Jin-Ho's eyes.
Hwang Dong-Suk and his minìons simply giggled at the label of 'murderers' thrown at their way.
While the others were busy, the content of the quest changed.
[Emergency Quest: Kill all the enemies!]
Lifeforms are holding murderous intentions towards you. Kill them all to secure your own safety. If you do not follow this instruction, your heart will cease functioning.
The number of enemies left to kill: 8
The number of killed enemies: 0
