章 30: Boss fight part-1
The weapons from GOB destroyed pierced through the sleuth of bears. The mighty bears were now turned into a puddle of flesh and blood.
Jin-Woo was shocked at what just happened. Weapons appeared out nowhere, those weapons were more overall high-quality ones. Who are these boys?
Without waiting for orders, the system started the extraction process automatically.
[Shadow extraction was a success.]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Back at the team camp, the A-rank Hunter Kim Cheol was pissed. His whole team was wiped out due to cold and lack of food. His anger had already driven him to madness like state.
Kim Cheol was struck super-hard by something in the back of his head and kissed the ground as his entire body slid across the snowy ground for several metres.
The eyes of the Hunters grew wider.
"Team leader!!"
Jin-Woo had hit Kim Cheol so hard that steam was still rising up from his palm.
Jin-Woo spoke in a dumbfounded voice.
"How dare you speak rubbish when it was you who drove your friends to death?!"
"Jin-Woo oppa!"
Hahn Song-Yi displayed her happiness as tears formed in her eyes.
"Team leader!"
"Those kids are also here."
It wasn't as much as Hahn Song-Yi, but still, the two male Hunters' expressions also brightened up considerably. Park Hui-Jin also breathed a sigh of relief after confirming Jin-Woo's face.
Unfortunately, Jin-Woo didn't have much leeway to respond to their welcomes.
"Ssh!"
Jin-Woo placed his finger on his lips and gestured them to keep quiet. The four people, seemingly getting ready to embrace Jin-Woo at any moment now, all froze up like ice statues.
Park Hui-Jin cautiously asked.
"W-what's the matter?"
Izayoi: "Those bastiches are here."
Gil: "Let's kill those mongrels."
Jin-Woo glared at the fainted Kim Cheol, the dumb bastard who deserved to be beaten up, before turning around.
"Looks like Kim Cheol brought along unwanted visitors."
He sensed countless presences hiding in the forest. Right now wasn't the time to worry about Kim Cheol or Go Cheol or whatever. The real problem lay elsewhere, after all.
Shururu…
After sensing Jin-Woo's glare, the White Phantoms undid their stealth and revealed themselves one by one. At a quick count, there were around 20 of them.
And among them…
Jin-Woo's glare was fixed on a long-haired White Phantom riding on horseback.
'….That has to be the boss.'
An overwhelmingly mighty aura was coming from that creature, incomparably heavier than any Ice bears and the White Elves near it.
If that guy wasn't the boss of this dungeon, then just who else could be?
For the first time in a long while, Jin-Woo's skin broke out in goosebumps.
Just as Jin-Woo was shivering ever so softly from its powerful aura, the boss also recognised Jin-Woo's strength in one go.
"So, there really was one. A truly worthy being among all the human trash."
Jin-Woo: "….What did you just say?"
"Not you him.", he said pointing at Gil.
"…?"
Gil: "Are you mongrels here to challenge me?"
When Jin-Woo spat out a response purely out of reflex, the boss displayed an expression of pure surprise.
"You, can you understand our language?"
Jin-Woo was also taken aback.
'How is it possible to converse with this guy?!'
Not only could he understand what a monster was saying, but he could also actually converse with it, too.
A language he couldn't even remember learning before fluently rolled out of his mouth as if it was his mother tongue.
"You…. You know how to speak the language of the monsters?!"
Park Hui-Jin's expression said her shock was so extreme that she didn't know what to do now. Seeing that, Jin-Woo realised that only he could understand what that boss was saying here.
'Is this because of the System?'
Like, an automatic translation feature?
Jin-Woo shifted his gaze back to the boss. The boss returned the gaze with great interest.
"To be able to converse…. Very good. There is someone I wanted to introduce to you all."
The boss pointed at one of the White Phantoms standing behind it.
"I'm sure you're familiar with him already."
Jin-Woo's glare sharpened instantly. Indeed, he recognised that particular White Phantom.
'That guy is….'
That guy was none other than the bastard that fired an arrow at Hahn Song-Yi before breaking out in a mocking grin. How could he forget that arrogant batard's face?
That exact same smile was still etched on the monster's face.
"This friend informed me of a truly strong being among humans. And this friend wishes to challenge you to a duel, so how ab….."
Even before the boss finished his words, the 'Knight Killer' Jin-Woo threw flew in a straight line.
Stab!!
And the dagger landed right in the middle of the grinning White Phantom's face.
"Heok!"
The shocked cry came from the Hunters, though, Yun Ki-Joong hurriedly covered his mouth to stifle the cry he let loose inadvertently just now.
Plop.
The White Phantom collapsed on the ground.
Jin-Woo extended his hand out, and the 'Knight Killer' buried in the dead Elf's face shook around a little before it got pulled out and flew back to him. Jin-Woo grasped the returned 'Knight Killer' in reverse grip and lowered his posture.
"Anything else you want to say?"
The boss spoke up in admiration.
"….You seem strong too."
Then, it climbed off the horse. However, as if it wasn't planning to fight yet, it didn't draw its weapons nor showed any willingness to engage in battles.
"However, you know this already, don't you?"
The boss maintained a leisurely expression and continued to engage him.
"….That you can't fight this number all by yourself."
There were over twenty Ice Elves here.
However, their number wasn't important. No, the real danger came from the fact that there was the boss monster among them.
The rest of the White Phantoms were no match for Jin-Woo, who had raised his level as much as he could by hunting every single Ice bear in this forest.
….Exactly like the fool who got killed with a dagger to its face.
'So, how should I go about killing the boss?'
While Jin-Woo began kicking his brain into gear, the boss continued on.
"So, I shall make a simple suggestion."
"A suggestion?"
"That's right. It won't be such a bad suggestion for yourself."
"…."
Jin-Woo was inwardly surprised.
It was a well-known fact that humanoid type of monsters possessed intelligence. But he never expected to see a monster trying to negotiate with a human. So, he couldn't help but get curious here.
"….I'll hear it."
The boss smiled as if it had expected that answer and opened its mouth.
"Before that, I want to ask you something."
"…..?"
"Why are you among these humans, when you're not one of them?"
Jin-Woo's expression crumpled deeply.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Ahaha. It seems that you have no idea...huh."
Izayoi: "Fuck this."
Izayoi jumped and delivered a kick right on an elf's face. The elf's head was destroyed by the impact.
Izayoi: "It's my WTF taekwondo."
Gil: "May I join the party. Gáe Bolg."
A crimson spear appeared in his hand. He didn't stop there and threw the spear at an elf.
Stab!!!!
Two elves died right on the spot. The hunters were shocked after watching this, they thought that the kids were lost and were saved by their group leader.
