Chapter 32

And now back to the present.

Gyeon Zio, a talented person who was good at holding the leash and had already become the civilian of the group, looked lost in thoughts.

The worst possible thing that could happen in a dungeon.

Who was the cause?

When humans encounter a crisis, the first thing they do is to push blame on others.

“This is all definitely because of you! Yoon Eui-seo, you bastard!”

‘No… a sudden rush like this?’

“If it weren’t for you! Let go of me! That bastard, a top 20 ranker suddenly stepped in and then this happened! We didn’t even call for you, you just barged in!”

In the end, Yoon Eui-seo was grabbed by the neck.

If a skeleton like thin man got shaken like the balloons in the gas station, even the sympathy that was originally not there would come out.

Gyeon Zio (1st) suddenly got sober and glared at Hwang Hon (6th).

‘This conscience-stricken gangster tofu…’

“What?”

Yoon Eui-seo, who was pushed to edge, glanced at Hwang Hon with sad eyes.

“Wow, why is everyone staring at me…?”

“Ai Haetu Hwang Hon.”

“……!”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I was so excited that I spoke in english without noticing. I have a disease that kills me if I don’t swear at Hwang Hon.”

“T-There is such a disease?”

“I am the owner of the Hwang Hon Anti fan club.”

“….I wonder if Hwang Hon would disappear behind the twilight?” (A play on his name, Hwang Hon also means twilight)

“What are you doing!”

Tak Lamin’s shout bursted out.

The two S-ranks quickly turned their heads.

The situation was easy to understand because of Yoon Eui-seo lying down on the floor. Hwang Hon murmured with a stiff face.

“What the fuck is that bastard doing…”

Yoon Eui-seo, ranked 29th in Korea.

He is also a rare A-class tamer.

There would probably be no chance of victory even if all the raiders rushed to attack him at once.

The ranks between awakeners created such big gaps. He didn’t deserve to be treated like that.

Zio stared at Yoon Eui-seo.

A person she unintentionally ran into a lot lately.

Starting from Yoon Kang-jae’s argument that his brother is the ‘magician king’ to dragon scales.

It had been bothering her.

She was sure he would show up in front of her when the time was right.

She followed him into the dungeon to see what other uses Yoon Eui-seo might possibly have…

Bullshit dragon.

‘It’s a sweet potato field.’ (Sweet Patato = a term used to describe a persons frustration)

Even when reading a web novel, the sweet potato section was a scene that stimulated the spirit of the cider that would soon come that made readers engaged. (Cider = opposite of sweet potato, a feeling of relief and happiness)

“Oh, no. Agent! It’s fine. I’m sorry, everyone. I’ve caused you trouble.”

‘Your party member, Gyeon Zio, cries out saying she hates sweet potatoes.’

“It’s all my fault…”

‘No, that’s not it, you son of a bitch. Stop it.’

“So let’s go for it first. We have to start with an attack. I have to save my brother. Please, I’ll, whatever…”

Yoon Eui-seo bowed down to the waist.

Just before Zio’s expression hardened.

| 6 | Late night snack king: Your Hwang Hon. Yoon Eui-seo

“So go and straighten your back, while I am still being nice.”

A low voice as if talking to oneself

But it went right into the ear of the person who it was meant for.

Zio could see everything until someone’s back starts shaking when he finally hears it.

「Straighten your back and lift your chin.」

He straightened his back with clenched fists.

「Look straight ahead.」

The basic posture of a hunter that faces the front.

A hunter and a Korean ‘First Line’ ranker Yoon Eui-seo raised his voice with red eyes.

“…anything and everything, I’ll take responsibility.”

“…”

“I won’t let anyone die, so let’s continue with the attack! Please proceed!”

A ranker was an individual, not a group.

But, very rarely, there were moments of uniting.

The chat window was located on the right as usual.

Zio, who glanced at the familiar place, turned her head in disbelief.

[Timer – 00:04:44:30]

The time remaining was about 5 hours.

The subspecies under the king parasite were chestworms that crawled on their stomachs and laid eggs.

They contaminated its hosts and didn’t discriminate between races.

So if the civilians weren’t rescued quickly, they might never be able to go back, regardless of whether they attack them or not (information according to Tak Lamin).

In addition, since the difficulty level changed, it seemed that the half-legged species weren’t the only ones that appeared.

Zio put up the Yonggary figure towards the right.

As soon as they came out of the building’s basement, an arrow appeared over the ‘True friendship figure’! Arrow direction rising upwards.

Damn because it’s a magic hologram, if it had any form, then this mess…

Chaaak- Pok!

“Ugh, yuck. I think I am going to throw up…”

“No, are they a virtue? Every time one dies, there’s a terrible stinking mud attack, Eui-ssi. Does anyone have any towels left?

“There isn’t. If anyone has mana stones, hurry up… Hunter Yoon Eui-seo  What is it? Are you okay?”

“I-It’s okay… I’m okay.”

Holding his bent knee, Yoon Eui-seo wiped off his cold sweat.

“More than that, I’ve lost connection with the golden birds that I sent earlier, and there was a lot of visual disturbance from the fourth floor… I couldn’t even see what’s going on. They probably got eaten right… away”

Yoon Eui-seo slowed down his words after reading the room.

This is because the atmosphere had decreased rapidly.

…

…

The group was frozen from tension and headed for the emergency exit door in front of the 4th floor.

‘UR Grade’ dungeon.

Regardless, the previous floors were far too easy.

Everyone had a hunch that this was the real challenge

There were only 2 people that remained calm in this situation where everyone was afraid of moving forward and opening the door.

“Uh-huh, that’s not good.”

The 6th place in domestic rankings.

Hwang, who had a strong breath, cracked his neck with a condescending attitude.

With a laugh he held the emergency exit handle powerfully.

“Don’t be so hard on your son, Ma Monster. Even so, Mon…”

Squeak-.

“W-Woaaaah-!”

Kwang!

Gasp. Gasp.

Hwang Hon slammed the closed door faster than the light. Looked back at the party shivering with blue faces.

“Well, what are you just sitting there for? Come on, get a bug spray! I just saw the biggest bug in the world, that cockroach. Oh, my God. It’s the Mother. What a surprise.”

“…My god. Isn’t he lacking something?’

[Your contractor, “Reader of Fate” grudges to say that after coming down from the outsider’s back.]

‘…’

Mm-hmm.

Zio quickly came down from Tak Lamin’s back that she had been hanging behind, and brushed off the pitiful figure.

W-what can she do about it?

‘I really hate it.’

“Stop it! Stop it! What the hell are you doing, you bastards? Are you sleeping? Is it a good night?”

“The ultimate! Does anyone have an ultimate left?”

“Are cockroaches usually flying creatures? Come on, Babel! Let’s cut some slack, aah f*ck it!”

Pssss!

‘I-I got an ultimate. Guys, I’m here!’

[The deity, ‘Reader of fate’ is terrified.]

[Look, little girl, he is telling you to take care of your reason and not catch a flying bug with a scythe.]

“Cesco! Cescooo!”

“Who made the cesco noise! Who was it!”

“Wait a minute! Hunter Bang Tae-ho! You can’t throw it over there…!”

K-Kung- Taktaktak-!

The chains were collapsing.

Gyeon Zio instinctively rolled her body.

In the area collapsing beneath her feet.

Her body, which seemed to lose its balance for a moment, quickly rotated in the air.

Using the falling pieces as a stepping stone, she slammed and bounced her legs at the same time.

Lightly settled between the corner wall gaps.

[Characteristic, ‘Cat Parkour’ is disabled.]

[Your contractor, ‘Reader of Fate’ lifts up the scoreboard with a rating of 10.]

‘…Safe.’

Zio blew on her short hair that was stuck on her cheek.

Everything had happened so fast.

The last thing she saw was the scene where the side of the elevator collapsed due to someone putting in the wrong thing.

There was no hall of fame for trolling. It was where the majority of the party stood…

Only read this at europalation.wordpress.com, please do not repost

The party channel was still quiet.

Even beyond the wall, it was strangely quiet.

Huh? Wait a moment. Isn’t this deja vu…?

A cold sweat rolled down.

Gyeon Zio, who was an experienced escape master, felt a bit nervous.

‘Tell me it’s not part 2…’

Let’s take on the pressure and slowly raise our head.

“…”

The scene revealed before her eyes was an empty crater with ferocious teeth marks that seemed to have been devoured by a beast.

Everything around was hazy.

The eggs on the floor, which were tangled with mucus, and the swarms of insects gliding with poison were nowhere to be found.

Only the gruesome holes and the limestone that fluttered like a blizzard remained.

And.

One man standing in the middle.

“……Elsa?”

“What the heck… gasp!”

Hwang Hon turned around to make a sound, and lowered his chin.

Nyanachi-nim, why are you here…?

Surely no one was supposed to be here?

Despite that, the situation from his point of view could be understood.

it was obvious

Everyone fell down and he thought he was left alone, so he went all out with his skills. That impatient gangster.

The random crater that tore off the concrete wall and swallowed it only then came into context.

S-Rank hunter, Hwang hon.

Alias ‘Asura.’

A battle between the devil and sura, who fought endlessly.

They ate whatever they want without being a picky eater, leaving only traces of a wonderful meal in the past.

‘Sorrysorry. Caught you on the spot.’

The most interesting view of someone else’s power.

Zio, who was acting as a fragile civilian material, took her hands straight to her mouth.

OMG! She is very surprised right now.

“This is ridiculous. No wonder… G-Gangster Tofu-nim is mister…?”

“Aida. C-Calm down, Nyangachi. I can explain everything. Ha po, put your phone down! Ugh, don’t turn on the camera! Let’s calmly talk to each other, huh, ack bugs, bees!”

“Argh! Where where!”

Pss – Boom!

Tuuk.

……

“Rega… t-there, was…?”

“….”

“….Take it away…”

……

Static…

no silence.

It was a defense mechanism done out of instinct.

King-Zio, who tore a medium-sized loyal species monster with magical powers, blinked her eyes.

Uh… uhm.

Quietly, moving her arms and legs stiffly like a robot.

She carefully picked up her cell phone (4-year contract) that had been thrown to the floor while squatting down.

Click, click, click. click!

”…With auto burst mode pressed.”

“…uh, uh. Yes. No matter how slow it might be to delete it, it doesn’t hurt…”

“Thank you for your consideration…”

“It’s nothing…”

Many minutes passed in a strange silence.

He took off his sunglasses for no reason and wore them again, and looked around once in a while. The two of them brushed the dust off their clothes.

They no longer needed words between each other.

Hwang Hon raised his index finger without saying a word.

‘You too…?’

Only read this at europalation.wordpress.com, please do not repost

A complete, breath-taking on-the-spot arrest.

No place to escape.

The answer given was already decided.

Therefore, after completing her calculation, Gyeon Zio slowly raised her thumb.

With an awkward smile.

‘Me too…!’

T/N: I am really sorry for how confusing this chapter might be, so I am going to try explaining what happened. Basically at the end the area collapsed and everyone got seperated/was nowhere to be found, but Zio used a skill to avoid the collapse and stayed on the floor. Then she ran into Hwang Hon who realised no one was around and so used his true skills (remember he is still hiding his identity for others) to fight. Because Zio is pretending to be a civilian she tried acting shocked and took out her phone to I guess take pictures and Hwang Hon tried taking the phone away then the phone fell to the floor and Zio used her magic to attack the monster to avoid it attacking the phone instead which made Hwang Hon realise that Zio was also hiding her strength. So the end is basically

“You too(are hiding your strength?)”

“Me too(am hiding my strength)

or at least that’s what I got from it! I also read this novel as I translate so idk if this revealed Zio’s identity as Jo or if the summary is 100% accurate, I apologise for that
