‘Aren’t you that much of a beginner? Or did they just follow the path we cleared….’

No matter what happens, the need to take a strong stance remains the same. Now it was a situation where the hunting ground had to be defended.

Trying to trick someone by inviting them to a party failed right away.

“Didn’t you hear me tell you to turn off?”

Where power comes and goes, momentum is important. Whether the opponent is weak or strong.

And the party leader had decided that those wizards were weak.

‘Only two people. We have more people and probably have more combat experience.’

It has been quite a while since I worked as an adventurer in Kagon, which has a large wizard population.

He knew how easily magic casting could be broken.

Even if the worst came to the worst, there was a good chance of winning with the four of us.

On the other hand, Ern was managing his facial expressions.

There were some things that were laughable, but I felt like I would laugh.

‘I live and live and actually hear this.’

The so-called ‘Jariyo’ declaration. I felt a sense of disconnect from the sight of grown adults talking seriously.

Ern once again felt that this was a world in a game.

“I have no intention of touching you, so please enjoy your work in peace.”

“If you interfere, you know you’ll be in big trouble.”

The shield man turned around.

As the distance grew a little further, Lia asked.

“Professor, are you okay?”

“What?”

“I was originally planning to go that way. But if it continues like this…”

The four adventurers were clearly on guard. Let alone passing by, even going near it seemed like something to be said.

“Yes, it’s okay. Just wait a moment.”

“They say you’re leaving soon?”

“That’s not it… Something big will come after a while.”

***

The adventurer said while shooting an arrow at the goblin.

“Why aren’t they going?”

The two wizards were far away, but still within sight.

It wasn’t a distance where I could be attacked, but I couldn’t help but feel annoyed.

“Are you sure you want to carry out the request here?”

“Two people without a lineman? I don’t think that’s right.”

“I guess they’re waiting for us to finish and leave.”

The party leader smiled bitterly.

“I somehow ended up here, but I don’t think I have the confidence to get out!”

Now it is clear. The wizards were novice adventurers full of free rides.

“Kuuut. I guess I can get some reward money for this.”

Key money, or protection fee.

It was the customary fee received when helping another adventurer in trouble.

The adventurers were excited at the thought of getting paid for escorting the two wizards to the entrance.

“Hey, wait a minute. It’s still possible, right?”

“What?”

“Can’t we just drive the monster over there?”

The four people exchanged evil smiles with sparkling eyes.

Meanwhile, Ern took out two of her potions and drank one.

“Leah, drink it too. Slowly prepare for battle.”

“Yes.”

As Lia rested for a while, she listened to Ern explain what was going to happen.

“But Professor, are those adventurers changing their formation?”

“It looks like he’s trying to lead the goblin this way. He’s doing something obvious.”

The party leader shouted at Erne.

“hahahaha! I’m sorry about this! Please take care of me!”

Several goblins came running.

“If you’re in trouble, you can run away or ask us for help!”

Ern didn’t bother to respond and spoke to Lia.

“Take care of this for now.”

“Yes, Professor.”

Because she kept her distance from the adventurer party, Lia was able to easily defeat the goblins.

“……”

The faces of the four adventurers hardened.

“No.”

“Well, you’re better at using magic than I thought, right?”

Ern and Lia were approaching. The adventurers looked at them nervously.

But at that moment, a low sound suddenly echoed in the cave. The ground beneath my feet trembled, and the walls seemed to shake as well.

The adventurers began to look around the dungeon to find out the cause of the suddenly occurring situation.

Ern and Lia were already in the background.

“Hey there!”

An adventurer holding a sword shouted, pointing to the middle of the cavity.

The ground shook in the center and a large shape slowly appeared.

It was a huge goblin.

It looks like an ordinary goblin enlarged several times.

That bizarre form stood tall among the original goblins.

“Goblin?!”

“What! I’ve never even heard of a guy like that!”

The adventurers were greatly embarrassed by the unexpected encounter with the monster.

“It’s really big.”

“Really?”

It was the ‘Goblin King’, the hidden boss of the western dungeon.

The adventurers hurriedly took a step back.

“Hey, wouldn’t you know it from this distance?”

“Let’s just leave like this.”

But something strange happened.

Life began to return to the eyes of the goblins who could not see or recognize the adventurers.

The Goblin King looked at the adventurers. Then the eyes of the monsters in the cavity all turned towards them.

There were too many. A feeling of fear came over me.

Without saying who went first, all four people chose to run away.

Even as they frantically ran away, Ern and Lia caught the attention of the party leader.

They stopped in place without moving.

‘I’m out of my mind!’

He passed by the novice adventurers, thinking they were frozen in fear.

‘Is this my part-time job?’

I thought it would be fortunate if they could become bait and slow down the goblins.

The sound of the adventurers’ footsteps as they ran away echoed in the cave, creating a discordant sound.

Lia asked a question as she heard the sound getting farther and farther away.

“Can we just leave those people alone?”

“You can’t run away anyway and you’ll have to come back. The road is blocked.”

When the Goblin King was created, the existing passage was cut off.

Now, to get out of here, I had to use the shortcut that Ern took earlier.

Ern wondered what their faces would be if they returned after failing to escape.

“But the goblins… Are all watching us…?”

Now the aggro of the monsters was focused on the two wizards.

Just looking at it, it seemed like we could easily get over a hundred.

“The Goblin King’s unique effect is to revive the senses of nearby goblins.”

Lia suddenly had an ominous feeling.

“Professor, I’m sure I’m not doing everything alone…?”

I had heard the explanation earlier, but when I actually encountered them, it seemed like there were too many of them.

‘Oh no way…’ .

It was unrealistic, but for some reason, it seemed like the professor would give him ‘practical training’ even if he had to shove a potion bottle down his throat.

“I’ll take care of the bastards. You just focus on defeating the Goblin King.”

Lia breathed a sigh of relief.

‘I guess this will be enough for today.’

Ern wanted her Lia to experience dealing with monsters larger than herself.

You must use magic while overcoming the instinctive feeling of intimidation. At the same time, you must avoid attacks.

She thought that if she experienced such a boss battle, it would inevitably become her nourishment.

As Erne spun her circle, she slowly moved forward. Leah swallowed her saliva and matched her stride.

“It will feel very different from killing regular monsters. You have to fight as if you are dealing with a person. You remember, right?”

“Yes. It was aimed at the eyes and ears to confuse them and aim for the ankles, right?”

“That’s correct. And what else did you say?”

“…Avoid the attack.”

“You will be able to do well.”

His voice was full of trust and confidence.

Lia’s eyes met Ern’s eyes. She could see the unwavering confidence in Ern’s gaze.

Leah felt confident and relieved in his attitude.

“Yes!”

Ern had faith.

It was not a belief that Lia would do well, but a belief that she would be easy on the boss monster.

‘Honestly, if you can’t do this, you shouldn’t.’

The Goblin King was big, but it was a really easy boss monster.

In fact, the most threatening part was the part where hordes of goblins flocked.

But since Ern had decided to handle it, the only thing left for Lia was a really simple task.

“Wait a moment. I’ll open the road first.”

A group of goblins full of hostility rushed towards Erne.

Ern stood calmly in his seat and slowly looked around at the group of monsters.

.

.

.

Constellations filling the cavity of a dark cave were embroidered.

Each star was a sharp spear of mana.

His eyes rested on the goblin approaching across the cave.

And when Ern’s gaze passed, a rush of magic missiles took its place.

All the magic struck the goblin’s head exactly.

Nothing went astray.

Leah could not keep her mouth shut as she watched the breathtaking magic feast.

The goblin group was gone before we knew it, and only the remnants of the magic stones were scattered on the floor.

Magic Missile is clearly not an area attack spell.

But the cave looked as if a storm had swept through it.

Lia thought she had seen enough of Ern’s skills during her combat training class. But that was a complete misconception.

Overwhelming firepower.

Missiles appeared and flew continuously, and monsters were subdued.

Leah got goosebumps.

‘This is a real battle wizard…’ ‘

In fact, there were very few battle wizards who fought like this.

It was the moment when a wrong concept was planted in Lia’s head.

The cave, which had been bustling with monsters until now, was now open as he said.

As she watched in fascination the scene Ern showed her, she suddenly realized something.

‘Wait a minute… This can’t be….’

A bead of sweat ran down Lia’s jawline and fell to the floor.

‘Could you make the class more difficult?!’

Lia got goosebumps in a different way.
