Chapter 480 – 480. Spooky Water Park
480. Creepy Water Park
“Go Joon-ah! Let’s get out of here! Different from yesterday! The boss monster has changed!”
“… Get out now! The erosion type dungeon attack is here! Things have changed! Originally, the boss monster here was a B-class king slime! Not like that! Get out of here!”
But it’s already too late.
His body soared upward from the lake-like pool.
It was a dragon made of water. He didn’t seem to have any intention of letting us go.
‘…… A water dragon?’
I casually called it that, but there was no monster called a water dragon. In other words, it was the first monster to appear here. Although he has the appearance of a dragon, he probably isn’t actually a dragon.
“No, no way… !”
One of the Hunters was shocked. I don’t know her name, but I do know that she has a special tool to determine the status and information of her monsters. The hunters, including me, pricked up their ears and focused on her words.
Of course, the water dragon didn’t wait even in the middle of it, but Han Ah-yeong created a huge ice shield to block its charge. Frosted water splashed in all directions.
“That’s an amalgamation! A fusion of Ghost, Waterman, and King Slime! At its center is…. What is this?”
“Probably the dungeon core. Originally, the dungeon core was in the body of the king slime. I never thought things would turn out this way in one day….”
Gojun Jang took out the equipment for the first time.
Two long sticks. It has a simple appearance, as if two iron bars were stretched out. There are some hunters who use sticks, but that is to the point where you can’t even call it a weapon.
However, soon the shape of the stick begins to change.
A twin sword that is shiny and sharp.
‘It’s Jang Go-jun’s ability, shape transformation.’
It is the ability to temporarily transform the shape of an object. However, the durability of objects does not change. Even if you transform mud into a hammer, it is just a lump of mud in the end.
“Hunters! Listen carefully! If this is the case, we’ll deal with this bastard here! Members of the Association, please stand by in case of an emergency! Fortunately, there is water here! In terms of compatibility, Ayoung has the advantage! Oh baby! You can’t freeze him?!”
“I’ve already tried, but it’s impossible to freeze them all. At best, it’s all about freezing the surface and reducing mobility. He has excellent mana resistance!”
The water dragon jumped into the air. The place he’s aiming for is us who haven’t chosen a battle position yet.
“Harin!!”
Han Ah-young exclaimed. Han Harin bites her lips and uses gravity manipulation. The direction of gravity is sideways rather than down. It is to divert the direction of the water dragon, which is likely to weigh hundreds of tons.
It was a success. The water dragon flew sideways and hit the floor. Jang Go-jun wields a pair of swords over the water dragon’s body.
Blood trickled down from Hanharin’s nose.
“Senior! It’s okay?!”
He grabbed her staggering arm and supported it.
“… I’m okay. I used too many abilities at once. After a short break, you can use your abilities again. You do what you have to do.”
“Yes. Senior. I’ll take that guy’s neck, so stay away.”
“…… Be careful.”
“Yes.”
I ran towards the water dragon, who had fallen on the floor, holding on to my sword. At most, it’s a state that came out of the lake pool. Can’t miss this opportunity
‘I can’t kill you in one shot, but… It can hurt.’
Roaring! The sword burns.
However, the opportunity for me to wield the sword never came.
Ahyeong Han created a huge block of ice from the sky and dropped it on the water dragon’s head. His head was smashed and water splashed in all directions.
‘… You created this giant block of ice in less than 10 seconds? I have to be at that level to become an S-class candidate.’
This is actually the first time Han Ah-young sees her skills, and I could understand her wholeheartedly why she is said to be her future S-class Hunter.
However, the situation is not over.
The water dragon’s body was split into hundreds of mini water dragons measuring 3M in size.
“The dungeon core was not in my head! One of those things should have a dungeon core! We have to destroy the dungeon core!”
Han Ah-young exclaimed. Hunters rush in and slaughter the mini water dragon that runs away into the lake pool.
“Late! The dungeon core went into the pool!”
Said the female hunter. Hunters kicked their tongues and widened the distance in the pool. The pool is enemy territory. The moment you accidentally fall into a swimming pool, death will come right around you.
The water dragon surged upward again from the pool. The smashed head is back to normal, and the body size is the same as before.
There are two ways to defeat him. One is to target and destroy the dungeon core, and the other is to remove all the water in this space.
‘The latter is impossible.’
Rain continues to fall from the sky, and water is stagnant all over the water park. It’s a really tough boss monster.
Whoa! Whoa!
When the alarm sounded, the hunters’ faces turned pale. It’s a sound I’ve heard several times on my way here. A tidal wave will come soon.
‘It sucks!’
I ran to Han Harin. The situation was the worst. The height of the waves attacking from afar is over 10M. Han Ah-young was busy blocking the water dragon’s attack, so it was best to run away.
‘Send Han Harin to a safe place with a space transfer order and take Han Ah Young….’
Han Harin suddenly looked around at the waves attacking from all sides. The atmosphere was completely different from the frightened Hunters. Harin Han had no intention of running away. He tries to fight back.
“Senior Harin!”
“I’ll stop you.”
Han Harin rises from the ground into the sky. Her black hair flutters violently.
Shortly thereafter, an earthquake occurred.
To be more precise, the aftermath of Han Ha-rin’s use of her ability is an earthquake.
‘… Gravity fluctuates.’
Some light, some heavy, some to the right, some to the sky. Gravity begins to rampage, and the 10M-high tsunami can’t get close to it and it breaks into pieces.
An invisible gravitational storm is crushing the tidal wave.
In the end, the tidal wave couldn’t reach us, and Han Ha-rin, who demonstrated her ability beyond the limit, fell down. I got her
‘Han Harin did this… I can’t run away unsightly.’
I took her to visit her female hunter. The only woman among the hunters who can know the location of the dungeon core.
“Excuse me. Please help me.”
“Ah, yes. Is it okay if I take over Harin? I will protect Mr. Harin. He protected us, but we can’t leave him alone. I am confident that my ability is specialized in protecting.”
“I’d ask for that too…. Do you know where the dungeon core is?”
“… Wait. I’ll try to find one. I need to concentrate, so please watch over me.”
“Yes. I will definitely protect you.”
She gazed at her water dragon from her bosom, her thick-rimmed spectacles on her face. The glass beads of her glasses shine blue.
After about 50 seconds. She shouted as if to hear her hunters.
“The dungeon core is near its tail! The tail is in the pool!”
The Hunters’ faces were distorted. The body of the water dragon was transparent, so it was difficult to see where the tail was. The probability of hitting the dungeon core from a distance is very small. In order to destroy the dungeon core, you have to enter the lake pool and its territory.
“Thank you. Please ask Harin.”
“Wait! Are you thinking of going in alone?! It’s dangerous! Like before, he’ll have a chance to get out of the pool. Aim for that time!”
“I don’t think Ayeong noona or Jang Gojun will be able to endure until then. If you’re not going to throw it away and run away, you have to fight now.”
Hunters become bitter. Most of them are C-class hunters, so they must feel helpless.
“If you stay still, you will die. It moves. I will also go into the pool with Eugene. Anyone want to go in with us?”
“…… Suffering just doesn’t suit my nature. I will join you too.”
“Honestly, I just want to play around from a distance… This is how things are.”
“I will cover you from afar. How can I, an archer, enter? Please leave the cover to me.”
Hunters started doing their job. I was amazed at their unpretentiousness. They are also the hunters of the Suwol Guild.
Gong Ji-young and I ran across the pool and ran towards the water dragon. The scary thing about it is that it is constantly regenerating as long as there is water even if it is damaged and the strength due to its huge size.
‘Han Ah-young and Jang Go-jun are attracting attention well. If you can avoid his sudden movements… !’
As I got closer, I saw the shape of a tail in the pool. It was not standing still in the water, but moving continuously, so we could see its shape.
And the blue crystal in the tail! It must have been the dungeon core.
“That’s the dungeon core!”
“Mr. Jiyoung!”
“Yes! I will blow it up!”
Her fist slammed down into the water at its tail.
Aaaaang!
A shockwave spread throughout the pool, causing the water to spurt. However, the shape of the tail was only slightly crushed, and the dungeon core was also intact.
“I thought it was water… Durability is beyond imagination…. So… Mr. Eugene?!”
I raised my sword and stabbed it towards the dungeon core. However, the dungeon core moves from the tail to the body as if mocking me.
‘Damn it. Could you move? Couldn’t the dungeon core have a will?’
No. It’s not like that. It must have moved instinctively.
“Eugene! Harm!”
An arm extends from the water dragon’s body and strikes Gong Ji-young.
Gong Ji-young jumped and easily avoided it, but I was a little late as she was concentrating on the dungeon core.
‘In an instant!’
I jumped up on the slow guy’s arm. Thanks to an unexpected foothold, the opportunity to aim for the dungeon core came once again.
Hooked!
Hwaryeonbido dug inside. It barely brushed through the dungeon core.
‘Red lightning!!’
Red thunderbolts spread out in all directions from within his body.
‘I reached it!’
It reached, but only part of the dungeon core was smashed. The dungeon core went higher. I clicked my tongue and stepped on his body and jumped up.
Arms shoot up from both sides of his body and aim at me.
“Thank you. It was very difficult to go down… You raised the dungeon core to the top.”
Jang Go-jun, who transformed the twin swords imbued with sword spirit into a great sword, cut off his arm and swung it horizontally toward the dungeon core.
“Shit! Missed… !”
The water dragon’s body was cut off, but the dungeon core was intact. Just before his body reattached, I dug in.
‘Thanks to the blessing of water, I can breathe in this place. At first, I thought it was a useless skill, but… It was a fucking skill.’
Of course, it wasn’t peaceful inside. I feel the pressure crushing my body. It’s impossible to stay here for long just because you can breathe.
‘Are you planning on crushing me with water pressure? . Do you think I’ll stay still!’
He kicked the water and soared upwards.
The red sword tip aimed at the dungeon core. The hand of the water pulls on my body, but my sword has already pierced the dungeon core.
Dismissed!
The dungeon core disappeared and turned into a magic stone bigger than my head. The form of the water dragon turns into normal water and falls down.
I fall down too. The height seems to be roughly 20M, but below is a swimming pool, and I am a hunter. If you strengthen your body with mana, diving at this height is not a problem.
As I fell, I looked at the water park. The dark clouds in the sky disappear, and the deformed structures regain their original appearance.
‘As expected, the last hit is the most thrilling!’
With a plop!
•••
After reporting to the association, the remuneration was divided.
I earned about 3 billion in recognition of my achievements.
It was a lot less money than I thought, but I couldn’t help it. Because most of the monsters were guys who didn’t leave any money-worthy by-products. A series example is a water dragon. I worked hard to kill them, but there are no by-products. Because what made up his body was ordinary water.
‘Fuck. If the by-products of the A-rank boss monsters came out, I would have earned at least twice as much even if I split it.’
