After waiting for quite a while, we are finally about to enter the portal. Ji-Hae gave us all 1 bottle of immunity potion, he said this is just in case something dangerous happens. I didn't expect him to spend a lot of money just on his party members. He is a nice person, after all we have to prepare ourself for the worst.
Then we entered the portal together. After we entered the portal, why out of all of them we got the land of the dead. After all the party members entered they became a little restless because of the terrain. But at least within a 30 meter radius around the portal, we won't be affected by the ill effects of that land of death. In addition, this effect will not be painful at first but will accumulate when we stay too long there.
"Everyone listen to me! Even if we enter the land of the dead, we still have to continue the hunt!" Ji-Hae loudly spoke in front of everyone.
I didn't expect him to be such a good leader, at this rate then it should be fine. After all, this party looks pretty experienced, and I think they've done raids on D-Rank portals a lot.
"If the situation gets bad use the immunity potion I gave you, then get out of the land of death"
Looks like Ji-Hae's plan is pretty good, even though we got debuffed from the land of the dead but we should be able to last quite a while with the amount of mana we have. My mana is around 2000 I should be able to last a long time, I also have a shadow step to save myself. Immunity potions can be used in an emergency and I can escape from the land of death zone.
"Are you guys ready? We're going south." Ji-Hae gave us directions.
"We are ready!" everyone answered enthusiastically.
Seems like all the party members have calmed down, now we can hunt better. Then we slowly entered the land of death zone. To be honest the debuff effect didn't have much effect on me. But I can see that some of my party members are looking a little troubled. Naturally, not everyone has a lot of mana capacity. As you can see, some of the members are having a hard time because of this debuff effect. While the magician looks fine. Even though my class is a swordsman, thanks to my necromancer class I have high mana capacity. Even my magic stats are very high for a swordsman.
After walking for a while I think we have arrived at the werewolf area, I can hear voices from far away. The sound of howls and also sounds from the bush area. This area has quite a lot of trees and it is quite dark here because there is no sunlight and it seems that there is only a little light emitted by the stars in the sky. Our vision is poor in this area so we have to be more careful. I will rely on my hearing.
"Everyone stop" Ji-Hae stops everyone.
"Looks like there's something up ahead, from here on we have to walk slowly"
I also heard a sound from in front of us, it seemed like there were several werewolves up ahead. We walked slowly down this road. Everyone is not talking and they are very focused.
After we took a few steps forward, we saw that werewolves were there.
"Looks like there are 3 werewolves there, we will attack them suddenly." Ji-Hae gave the order.
Then our tanks came forward and walked slowly. Meanwhile, a chaser was ordered into the forest to approach the werewolves. Then other dps such as warriors and archer will help the tank attack from the front. After that, we just had to wait for Ji-Hae's cue.
"Now!"
Then we attack simultaneously, it seems the werewolves noticed our attack. They immediately set up a formation to fight, but our chaser managed to attack from behind without them knowing. Their formation became a mess.
"Archers and mages attack them now!"
Then our mage shoots fireballs and archers shoot arrows continuously. However it didn't hurt the werewolves much, they tried to counterattack but were blocked by our tank. This is my chance to attack. I then ran from the left, this was their blind spot. While they're focused on our tanks, I'll deal a vital attack.
I ran towards the werewolf while pulling my sword, the werewolf looked at me but our distance was too close. I had to deal with critical damage before he hit me back. I managed to cut his arm, but he looks really angry. He attacks me carelessly, I dodge his attacks. Then I used my sword to stab his heart. Instantly his movements stopped and he lay on the ground.
There are still 2 werewolves left and they look dying. I took a few steps back to launch another attack. But our warriors dealt an attack on the werewolf. And the other werewolf died from the consecutive attacks of our mages and archers. We managed to kill them all, but our tank is hurt. He was only slightly injured while blocking the werewolf's attack. Then he got healing from the priest.
"That's a great attack hyungnim, I didn't expect you to be able to move that fast."
"haha... it's not that great."
"Your sword looks cool too. Is it made of monster bones?"
"Ohh this sword, yes you're right it's made of monster bones."
"I've never seen a sword made of monster bones before, it's very cool!" He looked at me with that happy look.
Then after our tanks were healed, we prepared to continue our journey. But suddenly a warrior fell, and it seemed he couldn't continue the raid. Looks like he's running out of mana because he's been in this place for too long, well we've been here for about 30 minutes that's normal. Let's see how much mana I have left.

What... my mana only decreased by 100? It's great I still have a lot of mana left so I should be fine. After that Ji-Hae gave the warrior a mana potion to replenish his mana, and it seemed he could continue the hunt.
Come to think of it I just realized that most people with guardian class won't have mana above 200. Normally people with classes like warrior or swordsman they only have 100 mana. But unlike Korea's no.1 hunter he has a magic swordsman class so the mana capacity is also very high. I have two different classes, am I a genius? Haha I'll stop being stupid for now. Looks like Ji-Hae wants to go deeper and hunt more werewolves. Then we walked through the many trees around us, I was worried that a gorgon might suddenly attack us. It's quite dangerous but after all our party has a lot of members so it should be fine.
Then we actually found a lot of werewolves, in front of us there were 6 werewolves that were 2 times the previous one. But it looks like they're roaming around the area, it's like they're on patrol. And the werewolves also seemed to be more organized than the previous 3 werewolves.
"There are 6 of them, we will attack together directly from the front. We are twice their number so we can do this!"
The right decision from Ji-Hae, because if one attacked separately it would be difficult. They were on patrol and also there were a lot of them. If the one who attacks from behind fails then he won't be able to be saved, besides that we also can't continue to let our mages consume a lot of mana. Therefore we will rely more on attacks from warriors and archers. There is also a spear wielder in our party, he can help protect our party members like archers and mages who don't have the ability to dodge fast enemy attacks.
Then we stormed them quickly. They were aware of our attack but were different from the werewolves before. They didn't form a formation, but they still stood scattered. That makes it difficult for us to attack because they can also attack us from several directions. The tanks will find it difficult to withstand their attacks if we attack rashly.
"Archer try to shoot the werewolf" Ji-Hae ordered.
But the werewolf managed to dodge the arrow easily. Our attack failed, looks like we have to attack them head on.
"Then we have no other choice, everyone attacks them directly!" Ji-Hae shouted while running towards the enemy.
I decided to attack the werewolf next to our party, I ran to the werewolf. And he managed to withstand my attack. I didn't think it would be that difficult to go head to head with a werewolf. I tried another method, I outwit the werewolf by trying to kick his leg, he tried to take a step back. But he didn't realize that I had attacked him with my sword. He couldn't dodge and I managed to kill the werewolf. It seemed the others were having a hard time attacking the other werewolves.
I was going to help them, then I ran to help Ji-Hae. But just as I was running, suddenly a werewolf howled loudly. We were startled, and I suddenly heard footsteps coming from the bushes. It was as if there would be many werewolves coming toward us. And my guess was right, there were 6 more werewolves coming from the bushes, and they surrounded us. Now we're surrounded from all directions and we're still having a hard time killing the werewolf earlier. Why did things become like this?
