The Strongest Person in the World Has Been Summoned

37. Reason for waiting

Around noon when the sun rose high in the sky, I saw a few people in the adventurer’s guild who seemed to be waiting for someone.

Hana Kang, a dark-haired archer, raised her feet on the table and leaned halfway on the chair.

“Aww! Eden~ I don’t think you’re going to come, do you?”

Healer Flora, who was sitting in her chair reading a book, spoke at her words as she stretched out as if she were bored.

“This dungeon seems to require one more vanguard. Wouldn’t it be better to find someone else now?”

“Let’s wait another 30 minutes. He looked like he would come.”

At Eden’s words, the party leader nodded her head.

‘What’s going on…’

A few days ago,

Eden and the others, who were assigned a dungeon that turned out to be B-class, had already entered the dungeon’s entrance once in order to understand the dungeon in advance.

“Is that… Slime?”

As soon as I entered the entrance of the dungeon, I was the one who recognized the identity of the monster seen in the distance.

What the group discovered was slime, a representative monster that welcomes adventurers everywhere.

“What slime is it?”

Boeing- Boeing-

The inside of the dungeon was full of round slimes bouncing around.

At first glance, it’s a monster that looks easy enough to be careless with its cute sound effect and appearance, but it’s also a monster that took the lives of many adventurers unexpectedly.

Basically, a slime, an irregular life form that naturally appears with the characteristics of a place where magical energy is concentrated.

Perhaps it is because they are magical creatures, ordinary slimes are so vulnerable to magic that even a magic missile fired by an apprentice wizard who first learned magic can kill them.

But instead, it boasts considerable resistance to slashing and corrodes weapons it touches, making it a troublesome opponent for melee combatants in many ways.

But if it was only this, the slime wouldn’t have been the monster that drove so many adventurers to their deaths.

The reason for this was because of the slime’s biggest feature, the ability to absorb nearby materials and use them as its own body.

If the place where the slime was born is a volcanic area, the slime will absorb the nearby lava and become ‘Lava Slime’, which boasts an S level of danger. It will be.

Boeing- Boeing-

Eden said as he looked at the slimes that jumped out of place as if he hadn’t noticed Eden’s party yet.

“It looks like a metal slime considering it’s a cave and its color.. What should I do?”

“..No anti-corrosion lubricant for slime. We’d better get back to work today.”

Jake, who usually doesn’t talk much, looked at the slime with fear as if he couldn’t stand the metal equipment covering his body being damaged.

Seeing his colleague nodding his head as if there was a point in his words, Bonden said.

“Then there is still a lot of time until the dungeon is dangerous, so it would be better to come prepared a little more.”

Eden’s party, who quickly got out of the dungeon by accepting the opinions of the party members, began preparing for the slime.

“Anyway, metal slime is too hard to calculate with my magic. This time, I have to go with the feeling of strengthening my colleagues.”

Metal slime, which has its entire body filled with metal instead of acidic liquid, has become vulnerable to physical shock, but has resistance to magic.

If you fire at metal, it will only become hot metal, and if you shoot ice, it will only become cold metal.

Reasonably thinking, Eden went back to the adventurer’s guild and purchased auxiliary magic, including strength-enhancing magic.

While Eden was purchasing new magic, his colleagues began to prepare for the slime in their own way.

“I don’t think I’ll be very helpful in this dungeon…”

At the party, she was a strong archer with powerful anti-personnel power, but she was depressed because she thought her arrows wouldn’t be very effective against metal slimes.

“I’m not very confident either, so I’m the only person in the party who can deal with metal slimes…”

Jake, who was usually in the forefront of the party pushing the enemies and holding on until Eden and Hana annihilated them, was feeling the burden of the heavy duty entrusted to him.

Hana and Jake, who came to buy anti-corrosion lubricant together, are digging into the ground, and Flora, a healer who watched them with a wry smile, spoke.

“Don’t get too depressed. Then, wouldn’t it be nice if I could talk to Eden and bring another avant-garde attacker to the party?”

“Uh huh…? That way…?”

“..Good idea.”

In the meantime, one eye widened at a proposal that Eden Party, which had been working on as a fixed party for over a year, had never thought of.

“As expected unnie! You’re so smart! I’ll tell Eden right away!”

“Whoops…”

It was Flora who laughed warmly as she watched Hana disappear.

“That certainly makes sense.”

“Isn’t it?”

Eden nodded her head at one of the words, sweating as if she had just run into the guild.

“There were times when we felt the absence of a leading avant-garde as our level had risen, but this seems like a good opportunity.”

After accepting a proposal to add one more party member, Eden visited the adventurer’s guild and decided to ask the receptionist if there were any good talent.

“Isn’t it Eden-nim? It’s been a while since you’ve been assigned to a dungeon, have you already cleared it?”

Eden scratched his head as he looked at the receptionist who greeted Eden’s face.

“Unfortunately, that’s not the case. It’s just that the metal slime comes out of the dungeon we’re going to enter, but there aren’t enough people to take charge of the front line.”

At his words, the receptionist nodded as if he understood what he meant.

“Ah~ Then you need someone who is a B-class or higher, and who specializes in physical attacks, right?”

“Yes, that’s right!”

The receptionist pondered over his answer.

“Oh yeah… There are hardly any B-class adventurers who travel alone… But there is one person who fits just right… I’d like to introduce you… Hmm…”

Hana, who was watching from the side, said to the receptionist who was worried as if there was something he was reluctant to do.

“What’s wrong? Is it some kind of wrecker? Or is it a skill problem?”

When Hana asked, the receptionist shook her head and said,

“No! He’s talented, but I’m afraid of rumors. Have you ever heard of ‘Frozen Rose’?”

“Ah! I know! The divinity of that rumor! The approaching men are half assholes!!”

I agreed with the receptionist’s words as if I knew everything.

“Yes.. He’s probably the only one who meets the criteria right now, but he’s a bit reluctant to men. Of course, I’m not suspicious of the people at this party!”

“Ah.. I see. I think I know roughly what kind of person he is. I’ve heard rumors too. But it wouldn’t be bad to meet him once. Could you please contact him?”

As Eden nodded and responded positively to the receptionist’s words, the receptionist said with a confused face.

“Ah..I’ll tell you once you come.. But he came just a while ago and Copson’s gang took him out.

“What? Copson? He’s so bad!”

As one said, Copson’s gang were famous adventurers in this area on the wrong side.

They were a bad-quality tribe that harassed adventurers with a lower rank than themselves, and harassed easygoing people who traveled alone.

Eden asked the receptionist, holding on to one arm that was about to run out.

“What is the name of that ‘Frozen Rose’? Can you tell me how to dress?”

“Uh .. Her name is Yueun Baek. She looks like a cold-looking beauty with brown hair and brown eyes! You’ll probably recognize it when you see it!”

“Okay. Thank you!”

“Ah!! And…He left.. She said she hates that nickname..”

Looking at Eden and Hana disappearing from the guild as soon as the receptionist’s explanation was finished, the receptionist murmured as he stretched out his arms hesitantly at the explanation he hadn’t finished yet.

“What… Is there something special…?”

A day after Eden and Yoo Eun met, the time when the sun rose almost noon.

Yoo Eun was running.

“Heo-euk…Heo-euk…”

‘I think he said until morning…’

It was Yu-eun who hurriedly ran to the adventurer’s guild, remembering the words of the man she met yesterday.

The incident started just two hours ago, and when Yoo-eun, who woke up earlier than the scheduled time, crossed the center of the city, a big commotion broke out in her eyes.

Kwaaang!!!

As if they had escaped from a beast circus located in the middle of the city, Griffins were running rampant in the city, bleeding everywhere.

“Quaaah!”

The city of Masue that sprang out without any warning became a mess, and the griffins who were further aroused by the noise started rampaging.

Cooung-Kwajik-

As the monster the size of an elephant starts rampaging, roadside trees and buildings fall to pieces.

“Damn it! Shoot!”

In the meantime, there was a group shooting tranquilizer guns that appeared to be beast trainers.

aaang!

“Aagh!”

But it seemed to backfire on the overexcited Griffin, who rushed towards them and knocked out the circus troupe at random.

Seeing her messy scene, Yoo Eun thought that it had nothing to do with her, and the moment she tried to pass by,

Yoo-eun caught sight of a child who must have been an elementary school student not far away from the rampaging griffin, who was running away and fell and cried.

“Haa.. I need to deal with it quickly..”

Even as Yueun sighed, she quickly ran to the griffin.

As the excited Griffin surrounded him and slashed the trainers who were trying to catch him with his paws, a man in a circus suit shouted at Yoo-eun, who was quietly approaching him.

“What are you! Don’t get into the adventurer topic! That griffin belongs to Charlie’s Circus, don’t even think about touching it!”

A man with a goatee who stood in front of Yueun tried to drive her away by wildly brandishing her staff.

When Yoo-eun paused in front of him, momentarily stopped by the man’s words, she saw Griffin heading towards her child who had fallen.

Spot-

“Hey are you listening? What is it? Where are you going..? Haaa!!”

What he witnessed when the mysterious man turned his head at the appearance of Yoo Eun, who disappeared in front of the man in an instant.

It was the figure of Griffin, who was slowly collapsing with her head gone, and the figure of Yoo Eun, who was carefully holding a fainting child right in front of him.
