Rustle-

“Ugh!”

Sss-

“Ugh…….”

Inside the crevasse hidden in the gap of the curved slope.

In the dark path only the Department Head’s bizarre groan resounded.

– Feel like muting;

– Why is his body trembling like that?

– Thought people do that when going to cold places.

– No, it’s because of the debuff.

– Making a fuss acting up saying he would carry it. Lol

The chill spewing from the White Wyvern’s Heart continuously tormented the Department Head.

Seeing him stubbornly not letting go of it even so it seems he wants the Dwarf’s Metallurgy quite a lot.

“What is that effect exactly?”

Kim Jae-ha who was watching the Department Head from the side asked.

Because although they were moving together with the sphere, nothing was particularly visible except the chill debuff.

“You remember the info right?”

“I remember. Although the contents were somewhat strange.”

[White Wyvern’s Heart]

Rank: ?

Grade: ?

Description: A crystal where the White Wyvern’s chill is condensed to the limit. The dense chill spewing to the surroundings hinders challengers of the trial and at the same time protects them. It seems there might be some other usage besides that.

The important things in the info are two.

One is the chill that serves as both hindrance and protection for challengers.

And another was the ambiguous words that it seems there might be some other usage.

“Do you see that?”

“Uh?”

When Han-bit pointed at the empty air Kim Jae-ha’s gaze followed.

However nothing was visible.

“You’re saying what is visible?”

“There are grains like floating dust right? Those are all Frost Poison.”

“Frost Poison?”

At the name heard for the first time Kim Jae-ha made a questioning expression.

The one who answered that question was Avant-garde.

“It is a poison that freezes the target from the inside leading to a painful death. But for it to be a space full of Frost Poison like this……. It’s amazing we are still alive.”

As much as it’s a poison rarely seen, detoxification is also not easy.

Between adventurers people even said it’s manners to quickly kill a person poisoned by it.

“The chill the White Wyvern’s Heart spews is special. Because it strongly repels power of a similar nature. Using that characteristic we avoid the Frost Poison.”

“It’s like a unique barrier. Then can it protect against all cold attribute damage?”

“No, that’s not it. Because it can only block cold damage weaker than what the heart spews.”

Whatever the element the hierarchy by power is honest.

No matter how good a barrier is it is bound to break to a strong power.

For example like the technique the Snow Drake uses.

However this too had a weak point.

[It seems there might be some other usage besides that.]

The most important last description in the item information.

The current plan was established thanks to this characteristic.

To survive the Snow Drake, to retrieve the dwarven heritage it’s an absolutely necessary object.

Trudge-

The party advancing sharing the necessary information like that.

The back figure of the Department Head waddling carrying the sphere clearly stood out.

“Ah, you shouldn’t step there?”

“Uh?”

At the words Han-bit casually threw out the Department Head’s body stopped.

A posture that froze while stepping with his right foot.

“Wh, what is it?”

“There are some traps here. Since it’s like a landmine it might explode you know?”

“You should have said such a thing quickly!”

“I just remembered now, what can I do?”

“This f*ck…….”

– Lol

– Mmhmm. Can’t help it then.

– If you’re annoyed be careful then.

– If you have tact explode and die.

At the innocent answer the Department Head frowned heavily.

Something that might be under his foot.

If he dies like this there is a high possibility he won’t be able to return here again.

“Quickly think of something! If I die I’ll completely invalidate the deal and everything!”

The Department Head obstinately screamed.

“Hmm.”

Han-bit examined the floor pretending to agonize.

And then nodding his head spoke resolutely.

“Try lifting your foot slowly.”

“Uh? You said it explodes!”

“If you are really careful it might not explode. You can’t stay like that forever right?”

“Ugh…….”

At the words that couldn’t be refuted the Department Head’s pupils shook.

“Phew.”

He exhaled as if nervous.

The Department Head gulping his saliva started moving his foot very slowly.

“Please, please…….”

Far too slow and cautious movement.

The action he poured his heart and soul into proceeded taking almost over 1 minute of time.

And finally, his foot completely lifted off the ground.

“Done!”

“Oh, it didn’t explode.”

The Department Head shouting cheers of joy as if genuinely happy.

Han-bit who lightly responded approached the place his foot was lifted from.

He who tilted his upper body and examined the floor spoke with a refreshing voice.

“Ah, it wasn’t here?”

“…Uh?”

At the casually spat out words the Department Head’s facial expression turned stupid.

Han-bit calmly tapped the floor with his foot.

Tap- Tap-

The explosion that doesn’t occur no matter how many times he steps on it.

To matter of factly, it was a really ordinary ground that was nothing at all.

“Well, nevermind then.”

“This f*ck……! You did that on purpose right? Uh?”

– Lollllll

– Again, the habit of fishing for people came out again.

– The highest victim in this field is the Ranger.

– Luxury supporting actor ㄷㄷ

– 1st tier in getting-done-in roles.

– The reaction hits the spot indeed. Lol

The Department Head recalling his efforts protested blushing his face.

However Han-bit wasn’t one to listen.

“If not it’s good right. Now, let’s keep going. If you’re late it’ll be taken by others.”

“This bastard……!”

Although anger rose at the mockery-like words, he had to move his steps.

Because the dwarven heritage couldn’t be taken away by other players.

“Phew. Since I’m an adult I will hold it in, hold it.”

Sss-

The Department Head’s heat quickly subsided to the chill the sphere was spewing.

That his steps became noticeably rougher than earlier is because he was certain there were no traps.

“The floor has changed.”

While advancing on the path, Avant-garde noticed the change.

Because the state of the floor had subtly changed from a certain point.

It was a slightly colder and coarser texture.

“What does that kind of thing matter?”

The Department Head clicking his tongue continued walking.

Han-bit watching that appearance threw a warning again.

“It will be better to be careful?”

“Where are you trying petty tricks again? You think I’ll be fooled?”

The Department Head who spat out annoyance concentrated on the sphere held in his hand and took a step.

That moment.

Crack-!

Something popped out as a crack formed below the floor.

“Uwaack!”

The surprised Department Head fell down landing on his butt.

Even amidst that he who protected the sphere hurriedly examined the front.

[Snow Flower (Lv.1)]

“Hah, what is this, f*ck.”

The Department Head confirming the name tag exhaled and felt relieved.

A single flower woven with pure white crystals.

A level 1 monster and such, it was too trivial.

To the extent not even a weapon is needed.

“This kind of thing……!”

Crunch-!

The Department Head lifting his foot high put strength and stepped on the flower strongly.

A will to kill the monster that surprised him clearly lingered.

“It’s easy right?”

The Department Head snorted and tried to lift his foot slowly.

That moment.

Snatch-!

Suddenly something grabbed his leg.

“Ugh!”

Several stems of vines soaring from the ground.

The surprised Department Head flapped his legs trying to shake it off.

However the more he struggled the binding strength of the vines became stronger.

“Sh*t! What the f*ck is this!”

His leg spitting out curses was completely bound at some point.

Rumble-

Along with that the ground heaving.

When the ground completely split open, the enemy revealed its appearance.

[White Snare (Lv.113)]

Swish-!

The pure white flower attached to the top of the body and the ferocious teeth attached below.

Dozens of strands of vines attached to both sides were threatening.

It’s an appearance befitting a monster that lures enemies using the flower as bait to predate on them.

– Ew.

– Look at the way it looks;

– Since he got caught isn’t it a win-win?

– Are they tentacles?

– They are vines, teacher.

“Uwaaak!”

The Department Head seeing the bizarre exterior screamed.

And then shouted at the top of his lungs toward the employees.

“Hey! What are you blindly standing there for! Quickly save me!”

“Ah, yes!”

The Taeyul side people who reacted belatedly tried to move urgently.

However they didn’t have the leeway to take care of others.

Grrrr-!

Monsters revealing their appearances everywhere around.

Every single one was guys exceeding level 100.

“Ugh!”

“Maintain formation first!”

The number of monsters was 2 times more than the players.

Because each one was stronger than themselves, it was difficult to even properly form a strategy.

“You there, don’t move.”

At that time, Liwei who was following leisurely moved.

He who readied his spear lightly took a stance.

And.

Whoosh-!

He threw the spear straight towards the front.

RUMBLE-!

The wave charging while shaking the ground swept the monster horde.

When it scattered and disappeared, absolutely nothing remained in that place.

– Click. Lol

– Melting like a slime;

– This is a vanguard.

– Equal to me or higher.

– Delusion OUT

Clack-!

The thrown spear returned to Liwei’s hand again.

Slice-!

He approached the place the Department Head was caught and killed the last remaining White Snare.

“Ack!”

The Department Head freed from the binding landed on his butt on the floor.

He who flustered for a moment made an awkward expression and hurriedly raised his body.

“Follow me. I will take the lead.”

Liwei started walking ahead with the spear hanging down.

The party frozen for a moment breathed a sigh of relief and followed his back.

Swoosh-!

Slice-!

The monsters continuously appearing met death at the same time as they appeared.

‘Certainly different.’

Han-bit examining his movements spat out admiration inwardly.

2 years since RP launched.

Because it wasn’t a skill an ordinary person could reach in that time.

It was clear he was a person with outstanding talent not only in spearmanship but in battle itself.

“Hmm.”

That appearance was also clearly imprinted in the Department Head’s eyes.

Because he was one who had never seen a vanguard this closely, greed he hadn’t even thought of blossomed.

‘Can’t we just win over that guy too?’

They are dragging Black Dragon’s leash by putting in flawless threats.

Even if there are annoying corners, this absolute superior-subordinate relationship does not change.

However the value of a true vanguard cannot be compared to Black Dragon.

Rather wouldn’t making Liwei onto the same side to strike the back of Black Dragon’s head be a beautiful picture?

“Heh.”

A despicable laugh naturally leaked out.

Connections with the vanguard, the hidden skill Dwarf’s Metallurgy, retaliation against Black Dragon and Kim Jae-ha.

He could put all these things into his hands.

“Ugh! Let’s rest for a moment and go!”

The Department Head abruptly put the sphere down on the floor and requested a rest.

Black Dragon following behind merely shrugged his shoulders and agreed.

‘Stupid bastard. Try getting done in once.’

The Department Head spitting out curses inwardly called up the system.

And sent one message to Liwei.

[Black Dragon told you a lie earlier. This deal was made because that guy assaulted me. Since I will dig out the info, strike off trash like that and let’s join hands between us. Since I will match the conditions generously.]

The completed message was successfully transmitted immediately.

Whether the alarm sound rang, Liwei’s gaze headed to empty air.

Seeing even his hands moving he must surely be reading the message.

Srrk-

A little while later, Liwei turned his body to the Department Head.

And then taking long strides approached.

‘Yes, you should.’

The Department Head was certain.

That is definitely a positive reaction.

Now if he joins hands with them they will be able to take a considerable advantage in the competition.

Step-

Liwei stood in front of the Department Head with an expressionless face.

And then tilting his upper body spoke quietly.

“Don’t cross the line. You trash bastard.”
