Chapter 166

Since when had I become so sensitive?

It felt like something was constantly flying in and picking at my flesh, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on what this feeling was.

Unable to shake off the unease, I kept checking behind me, but as always, there was nothing there.

What the hell is it?

The question remained unanswered.

So did the unease.

Just then, a mutated Hydra appeared in front of us.

“Prepare for battle!”

Yura shouted loudly.

Muhyuk, snapping out of it, focused on the front. He lent a hand to take down the mutated Hydra that had appeared.

Of course, all he did was shoot arrows from behind, but it was definitely helping.

[Experience increased.]

Yura sheathed her sword.

“Good job, everyone.”

As we moved forward again, Muhyuk kept looking back.

This is, really.

Shaking his head, he looked forward again. Just then, Yura approached and tilted her head, speaking to him.

“Muhyuk?”

“Yes?”

“Are you not feeling well? You keep looking back.”

“I just have a bad feeling.”

“A feeling?”

“Yes.”

“Hmm, about what?”

“It’s hard to explain.”

At Muhyuk’s words, Yura shrugged and smiled.

Okay, let’s ignore it.

Constantly checking behind me when there’s nothing there is a waste of time.

The unease kept lingering, but I tried to ignore it and focused on the front.

I could see the summoned creatures carefully scouting the area.

Originally, I didn’t want to reveal my full power, so I was planning to scout with only a small number. But thinking about it, I wondered if there was really a need to do that.

I felt like trying to hide it was a pointless effort.

Right, I decided not to care.

About other people’s opinions.

Besides, hadn’t I decided to stand against the act of crushing others with the power of other users? If so, shouldn’t I show them instead?

So I revealed it.

All the summoned creatures.

At first, Yura and all the staff were surprised.

But now they were used to it.

“It doesn’t seem to be here.”

We searched for about 15 minutes but found nothing.

“Then let’s go forward again and look.”

“Okay.”

Muhyuk sent all the summoned creatures back.

About 5 minutes later.

Suddenly.

Muhyuk suddenly stopped walking.

This time it wasn’t a mistake.

Ah, this is.

Only then could I accurately define what the feeling had been until now.

Murderous intent, this was murderous intent.

Turning his head, he saw 20 users wearing robes approaching from afar.

The moment he saw them, he knew it instantly.

Player killers.

Users who committed PK.

“Muhyuk?”

The staff behind Muhyuk called out to him, who wasn’t moving.

Only after calling him twice did Muhyuk’s gaze turn to the staff.

“Everyone, prepare for battle.”

Sungminwoo hurriedly came to his side.

“What’s wrong?”

“Those guys, I think they’re player killers.”

Only then did everyone follow Muhyuk’s gaze.

They saw 20 users approaching.

“Ah, robes…!”

Only then did the program staff become nervous. Non-combat staff retreated, and those who could fight moved forward.

Meanwhile, the users wearing robes were getting closer, close enough for magic or arrows to reach.

But they weren’t trying to attack. With the situation like this, it was difficult to attack first.

What if they weren’t player killers?

That thought clouded their minds.

At that moment, Muhyuk transformed his sword into a bow and nocked an arrow. Several people who saw it widened their eyes in surprise.

“M, Muhyuk!”

“No, wait a minute…!”

Before they could stop him, Muhyuk released the string.

Thwack!

The arrow shot out like lightning.

One of the approaching users took out a dagger. He deftly swung it and deflected the arrow to the side, but Muhyuk smiled.

Boom!

Windstorm had exploded.

[Deals 1,987 additional damage.]

The corners of the man’s mouth twitched as he was pushed back by the impact. It was a distorted expression that anyone could see was filled with anger.

“A delicious smell is coming from over there.”

The man said, gesturing with his hand.

The 19 people behind him reacted.

Swish.

They kicked off the ground and began to charge.

“Skeleton Cavalry Summon.”

But Muhyuk was a little faster.

The cavalry that had appeared blocked the way.

Horses as large as rhinoceroses filled the space, and the cavalry riding on them held out long lances, checking the opponents.

However, the hostile users charged without hesitation and clashed with the cavalry.

Clang, Clang!

Armor Knight 1 swung his lance, but the user in the robe dodged it more easily than expected.

As they gradually closed the distance, they began to target the horse instead of the Armor Knight.

Because the space was narrow, they couldn’t properly control the horse, and eventually one of the horse’s legs was shattered.

Thud.

Armor Knight 1 came down to the ground and became entangled with the user. As expected, the cavalry’s destructive power was weaker on the ground than on horseback.

Armor Knight 1, back. Acceleration Thrust.

But he used the skill, aiming for a very brief opening.

“Heup!”

The user in the robe was shocked by the incredibly fast thrust and retreated.

Thwack!

At that moment, five of Muhyuk’s arrows were fired, targeting him intensively.

Four of the arrows were Multishot, and one was Powerful Archery.

Since all five arrows were imbued with Windstorm, even if one hit, it would reduce a significant portion of his HP.

Spot.

But instead of blocking, he chose to dodge.

Probably because of that first attack.

The moment Muhyuk’s brow furrowed, the user in the robe was already moving.

The timing was perfect. He was dodging, piercing through the subtle gaps between the flying arrows.

In the end, Muhyuk’s attack, which he had been confident in, flew away in vain.

Immediately after, he unilaterally pushed back the Armor Knight again, and his skill was truly amazing.

[‘Armor Knight 1’ is being unsummoned.]

[‘Cavalry 1’ is being unsummoned.]

[‘Cavalry 3’ is being unsummoned.]

The cavalry was quickly decreasing.

Hmm.

As Muhyuk frowned,

“Haaap!”

Sungminwoo intervened in the battle.

“Fire, Flame Whirlwind!”

He shouted loudly and jumped into the battlefield, clashing with one of the users.

Only then did the remaining staff come to their senses and start lending a hand in the battle.

“Damn it, they were real PK Beoms?”

“Can’t you tell?”

“Okay, let’s get this sorted out first!”

Muhyuk, who smirked at their appearance, refocused on the battle.

Should I summon them?

“Skeleton Warrior Summon.”

White steam rose from behind the robe users.

Hwaaaaa.

The users flinched and distanced themselves.

From there, several Armor Knights kneeling on one knee and a number of Sword Bones clashing their jaws appeared.

As the Armor Knights unfolded their knees and stood up, their magnificent size was revealed to all.

The number alone was 36.

With 23 Armor Knights and 1 Bureutan, how intimidating would it be?

Only then did the robe users seem to pause for a moment.

Summoning ends here.

I decided to hide the Archer and Mage. It was possible that they might bring other companions.

To prepare for that, I wanted to prevent them from properly grasping Muhyuk’s power.

Because the current state was enough.

It was possible because not only Muhyuk but also Sungminwoo and Yura, and other users who could fight, were present.

Armor Knight 2, Charge forward.

Armor Knight 2, Acceleration Thrust.

I made up my mind and continued to command. At the same time, I occasionally shot arrows to check the users wearing robes.

They were trying to avoid Muhyuk’s arrows at all costs.

If that’s the case.

There was no need to waste Windstorm unnecessarily.

Powerful Archery.

Multishot.

Even then, the Skeleton Warriors located in the rear did not move.

They were just blocking the way.

Was it because of that?

The cavalry died quickly.

In the end, 10 Armor Knights and 11 Sword Bones summoned to protect the rear were投入 into the battlefield.

The rest still played the role of blocking the hostile users from escaping.

Then, the hostile users realized the role of the Skeletons located in the back, and even though they glanced at them from time to time, they didn’t seem to care much.

Bureutan moved at that moment.

Little by little, very little by little.

And again, a long time of waiting continued.

There should be no harm to allies, and the hostile users had to be swept away at once.

1 minute, 2 minutes, and 3 minutes.

Many Armor Knights and Sword Bones had died quite a bit, but Muhyuk was still calm.

Just a little more.

Soon, Muhyuk’s eyes coldly sank.

Clack.

Bureutan’s jaw moved.

Kieaaaaak!

The Qi Wave that was fired covered the hostile users at once.

It was an unavoidable giant wave.

The swept-away robe users staggered, unable to hide their bewildered expressions.

Only then did Muhyuk transform his bow into a sword and use Wind Step to close the distance.

Approaching the user who seemed to be their leader, he indifferently swung his sword.

Windstorm. Cross Slash.

But he didn’t die, so he drew his sword again.

Stab, stab.

As he killed one person, a piece of armor fell to the floor.

After picking it up and putting it in his inventory, he looked at the other users.

There was no reason to delay any longer.

All Armor Knights, Charge.

After engulfing them.

All Strong Strike.

He poured out the skills.

Bang, Kwagwagwagwang!

All the remaining robe users died, and the 19 items that fell were shining.

Everyone sent envious glances mixed with envy, but Muhyuk didn’t care and recovered all 19 items.

It was also stated in the contract. The rights to all items acquired in the item Dungeon belonged to Muhyuk and Sungminwoo.

Meanwhile.

The PK user who was logged out.

In other words, Asura Han, the leader of the users who had deeply pressed down their robes, took out his cell phone and made a call somewhere.

(What’s up?)

“I found a very delicious guy.”

(A delicious guy? Fix that way of speaking first, you idiot.)

“Is there something wrong with my way of speaking?”

(You’ve been a bit off since Illusion. Isn’t that why the guild members avoid you?)

“19 people follow me.”

(You crazy bastard. So, are you strong?)

“He’s a Ranker.”

(Rankers are common.)

“Top Ranker.”

(Hoo, really? What’s his job?)

“Necromancer.”

(Hey, hey. Get rid of it. It wouldn’t be fun. Necromancers are obvious. And above all, I really hate the smell of rotting corpses. No, more than that, if he’s a Necromancer, you and those weird guys can hunt enough. Ignore the summoned creatures. You don’t know that, do you?)

“Of course, I know.”

(Then what’s the problem?)

“You know it too.”

(Know what?)

“Summoned creatures are affected by stats.”

(So?)

“Rank 51, Muhyuk. The first one to apply that.”

(Hmm…?)

“How about it?”

(You’re aiming for that user now?)

The voice on the other end of the phone became serious.

“Wouldn’t he be very delicious?”

(Answer me first. Is that the user who blew up a guild? The Necromancer who only summons Skeletons to fight?)

“Yes, that’s right.”

(Kiya, awesome? Where is he?)

“Treasure Dungeon.”

(I’m taking the kids and going right away. Wait there.)

“I’m already dead.”

(You idiot. Then I’ll hit him first.)

“That’s not right. I provided the information, so I’m going with you. Wait for me.”

(Haa, damn it. Okay.)

“I’m hanging up.”

Asura Han, who ended the call, laughed.

“Heu, heu heu.”

Very sinisterly.
