Chapter 69 – Rift (3)

The invasion of the rift was easier than I thought.

Monsters like giant ants appeared, probably because it was a cave, and sometimes intelligent creatures like goblins appeared and attacked us.

Of course, it was easy to catch monsters of that level without much effort.

When Park Jin-seong, who stood at the forefront, swung his greatsword, all the monsters that rushed at him were torn apart, and most of the few monsters he missed were pierced between the eyebrows by Ki-hoon Lee’s bow and died.

But luckily, Scarlett and I swung our swords to deal with the demonic spirits that survived and attacked.

Although it was something I had already experienced in the labyrinth, the feeling of swiping the living monsters with my sword, not fantasy, was honestly not a pleasant feeling.

The sword swung along the designated sword path tears and pierces the flesh of the attacking monster.

The flesh-slicing sword continues to cut the bones of hard monsters, and cuts even the toughest joints to split both ends.

The monster whose body was cut in half passed away without even properly screaming.

Of course, there were only a handful of them, and most of them were torn like pieces of paper by Park Jin-seong’s lightly wielded greatsword.

However, the number of monsters that attacked was not so small that it was disrespectful, and there were times when I was taken aback by the traps of highly intelligent monsters like goblins.

For example, the ground suddenly turns black and a thorn trap appears, or poisoned arrows fly.

There was no one who suffered.

Goblins just died brutally like other monsters.

“Oh… ….”

Park Jin-sung and Lee Ki-hoon’s skills were better than I thought, and admiration sometimes came out of my mouth.

If you try, can you win? I do not know.

‘I’m not saying I’m going to fight.’

If you fight one by one, you might be able to win by a narrow margin, but if two people fight, even if you fight 2 to 2, including Scarlett, you will lose.

That’s why the combination of Park Jin-sung and Lee Ki-hoon was great.

They complement each other’s weaknesses almost perfectly.

It’s me, but it doesn’t matter because my goal is to make money with the mindset of working part-time.

It was to the point where I wondered why talented people like Park Jin-seong and Lee Ki-hoon were in such a D-class rift.

Two people, if they took a little risk, they could go to a C-class rift and make a lot more money…….

But strangely, my head has been pounding since before.

It feels similar to when the [Sixth sense] Is over-activated and overloaded.

Should I say I’m glad it hasn’t been that painful yet?

Except for a little irritating thing, it’s still bearable.

Rather, when I look at the amount of byproducts that go into the subspace bag containing the monster byproducts obtained from the cracks that Jinseong Park has brought, I think of the amount that will be mine, and my mouth waters.

I suddenly understood why Park Jin-sung and Lee Ki-hoon went through a D-class rift.

Certainly, if you go to the C-class rift, you will earn a lot of money, but the risk is high.

Above all… The profits earned from D-class cracks are higher than expected, so even if you go around D-class without risk, you can eat and live.

Then Park Jin-seong, who was walking in front of him, suddenly stopped.

Scarlett looked at Park Jin-sung and asked cautiously.

“… Why are you like that?”

In response to her question, Park Jin-seong silently pointed in front of her.

When she moved her gaze to the direction her finger was pointing at, an unexpected sight opened up.

Countless goblins lay there, torn apart and dead.

I thought there was a boss monster around here because there was a body with wounds that looked like it had been bitten by something like a huge jaw.

The corpse next to it was relatively unharmed.

A shape that seems to have been forcibly cut with a knife with a less sharpened blade.

Then the corpse was more intact.

There were still some glitches, but it was much more stable.

And the next corpse…….

As if cut gently with a single blow, the cutting edge was clean and not clean.

It was as if a child who had picked up a tool for the first time practiced while playing with it to learn how to handle it.

I’m sure if it’s a goblin, I can cut it cleanly, but…….

‘The problem is the ridiculous growth rate.’

The first goblin’s corpse was mutilated so many times that it was hard to imagine that it had been cut, but the last corpse was clean enough to believe that I had cut it.

At that rate of growth, if I don’t get rid of it quickly, next time instead of the goblin, I might be dismembered and roll on the floor.

If this is what the boss monster did, it is clear that the grade measurement is wrong.

Park Jin-seong seemed to be thinking the same thing as me, and after pondering for a long time with a serious expression, he drool.

“Ummm… …. First of all, just look at what kind of boss monster it is, and if you think it’s dangerous, should we retreat?”

Definitely a wise choice.

If you can catch it, catch it, and if you’re new to it or if it looks dangerous, run away first and then ask others for support.

When the other three nodded in agreement with Park Jin-seong, Park Jin-seong corrected his sword and slowly walked forward.

Contrary to what he had shown so far, he clearly showed a nervous expression.

Maybe I’m nervous too, so I get the illusion that the red cave, which wasn’t so dark, is even darker than before.

It was terrifying to think that even the reddish cave had somehow changed its color due to blood.

It takes a long time to walk a short distance, unlike before, when I walked in strides.

We moved forward slowly for a long time, but during that time, the living monsters were no longer visible.

The cleanly cut monsters make the previously red cave even redder.

As I move forward looking at the corpses, I hear a human voice from somewhere.

“——, — ————?”

“———. ——— —— —————.”

The voice of a cheerful young girl and the voice of a man without energy.

I don’t know what he’s talking about because it’s so small, but it must be a human voice.

But were there people who entered the rift before us?

‘After this rift opened, we should have been the first to enter… ….’

I wish it wasn’t, but… Or a villain organization. Or criminals.

Thanks to [Sixth Sense], It seems that they heard it a little earlier than others, but it was only after they had walked a little further that they hardened their faces when they heard the voices coming from inside.

Probably, all sorts of cases come to mind in their minds, such as a villainous organization or an innocent person who was unlucky and swept into a crack.

Park Jin-seong nodded his head with a determined expression as if he had made up his mind to check, and went a little further.

Lee Ki-hoon, who was chasing me from behind, swallowed his saliva and put an arrow on the bowstring.

Perhaps because everyone was silent, even the sound of the bowstring tightening could be heard clearly.

Scarlett and I looked at each other once, nodded, and squeezed each sword handle.

Before long, I got out of the narrow cave in a straight line, and a large space appeared.

Perhaps this is the boss room.

And the boss that should be there…….

Contrary to our expectations, the boss was fine.

Monsters in the form of giant ants kept pouring out, and the boss was in the form of a queen ant with huge wings.

A black body that shimmers in black and a huge mouth that will suffocate the body if bitten.

By far, the most noticeable part of this boss right now is undoubtedly the clean cut between its head and body.

It was as if it had been cut cleanly in a single blow, to the point where it looked as if it hadn’t been one from the beginning.

Two human silhouettes can be seen next to the queen ant carcass.

As expected from the voice, there was a girl who looked very young and a slim man who looked sick.

The girl was white enough to compare with Dina’s, and similarly, between her pure white hair, a little bit of her beautiful golden hair was showing itself.

A cute face with dense eyes, nose and mouth that catches the eye.

Pure white eyes that feel even sacred that can be seen only after activating the [Sixth sense] A little more.

“Butterflies! When is Seria coming?”

A young and cute voice shouts brightly.

And around the girl, the aura of starlight reminiscent of the holy power of the [Saintess] Emphasizes her presence like a halo.

Because of that, the man who was with the girl who showed up later was a pale-skinned man who looked like he would collapse and die at the slightest blow.

“Seria go somewhere, I won’t see her until tomorrow.”

His voice shows that he is tired, but he still feels caring.

The coexistence of the black hair and sharp pupils torn vertically like a beast gives a strange sense of separation.

At first glance, a combination that doesn’t seem dangerous at all.

Possibly a person who was nearby when the rift broke out and was caught in, or a hero who entered this place by mistaken for another rift.

Maybe that’s why.

The reason Park Jin-seong, whose vigilance was slightly relaxed, showed up without saying anything to us and approached them.

“Have you ever been caught in when a crack occurs? If you do not know the way, we may be able to guide you.”

As Park Jin-seong approached with a friendly smile, the man showed a little wariness and the girl tilted her head, as if not understanding why.

I want to go back with Park Jin-seong even now.

Kung. Thud.

My heart beats strongly.

I can’t approach Park Jin-seong because my body doesn’t listen properly.

Chiiyiing.

Now I know the cause of the headache that has been bothering me ever since.

My sensitively activated [Sixth sense] Was screaming that the girl and the man were in danger.
