Today Ji-Hae and I will be doing a portal raid on a high rank portal. I tried contacting Pyon Hee-Ra yesterday, and she said that we could participate in their guild raid portal.
The portal raid we will be doing today is an A-Rank portal raid, it might be difficult but I think we can get it done.
When Ji-Hae and I got there somehow the guild members looked at us with strange eyes. I don't know why but I don't think they're happy with us being here. Maybe they weren't happy that people who weren't members of their guild would be participating in this raid.
"You've arrived, hunter Lee Won Myung" Pyon Hee-Ra greeted me when I arrived.
"Yeah, by the way are you sure we can join this raid?" I hesitated a little after seeing the guild members.
"It doesn't matter, anyways I already know you and you are an S-Rank Korean hunter!"
"Then I guess it should be fine." I answered like that, but honestly the atmosphere here is not good. I felt suffocated because they kept staring at us.
Especially the red-haired guy, he scolded me once because I refused to join his guild. Looks like he'll be participating today too, and I think he hates me a lot.
"Hyungnim, why do they keep staring at us?"
"I don't know either, but let it go"
"Even though they have an S-Rank hunter, they don't look happy."
"That's okay, besides, I haven't been proven to be able to become an S-Rank hunter. And the responsibility as an S-Rank hunter is certainly big."
"Alright then let's show them hyungnim!" Ji-Hae looks pretty excited today even though the Blood Moon members are constantly putting pressure on us.
I think this will happen more often in the future so I have to endure. Being an S-Rank hunter doesn't mean I'll be immediately accepted by everyone.
"Are you ready?" Pyon Hee-Ra asked me and Ji-Hae.
"We're ready any time!"
"This portal is a fiery cave, it's going to be a little hot I hope you guys can survive" Pyon Hee-Ra said that because she was worried about us.
Goa fiery, maybe this will be a little difficult but I think I can still handle it. And also they have given us heat-resistant capsules, at least we can withstand the heat for 30 minutes by eating these.
Then we immediately entered the portal after Pyon Hee-Ra finished relaying the information to her guild members. Ji-Hae and I came in late since we weren't part of their guild, I felt a bit left out but that's okay.
Once inside the portal, I could feel a strong heat. Even though it was only a few steps in front of the portal but the heat was already this strong. The soil also looks like volcanic soil, and this place does look like a cave. This place is quite large, this place is not dark because there are volcanic fires that illuminate it.
Some of the guild members seem to have eaten heat-resistant capsules, some have started wearing masks to breathe better. So far Ji-Hae and I can still walk well.
The monsters in this cave seem to have Lava Cobras, besides that there are also Imps. Looks like this place won't be easy, nor do they get any information about the third monster that is in this portal. Usually high rank portals will have 3 or more different types of monsters, I hope those monsters won't make things difficult for us.
After walking about 100 meters into the cave, we found some lava cobras. It was quite large, and they were trying to prevent us from walking into the portal. Besides that, it seems that in this portal the objective is to defeat the boss monsters that are here. I have to be careful.
"Everyone quickly form a formation!" Pyon Hee-Ra quickly ordered her guild members.
They formed a defensive formation in order to deal with the lava cobra without getting hurt. It can be seen they have 4 tankers, and 3 melee dps. In addition they have 3 magic users, and 2 supports. A good combination, but the lava cobra also has ranged skills.
The lava cobra started to attack, he shot his fire at them. The tanker used its protection skill and managed to block the lava cobra's attack. Then the red-haired person ran towards the lava cobra using his sword. He quickly aimed for the cobra's head, and it looked like he was being helped by the supports to amplify his attack.
His slash managed to injure the lava cobra's head, but it still wasn't over. Pyon Hee-Ra uses her warlock ability, death shower. It was a powerful Aoe skill, the attack rained down on the lava cobra until the lava cobra died.
"Good job guildmaster!" The red-haired person praised Pyon Hee-Ra's greatness.
"You're great too Henry" Pyon Hee-Ra replied to the person.
It turns out that the person's name is Henry, is he not Korean? No wonder his face does not look like a Korean. They did a great job as a team, Ji-Hae and I didn't even do anything.
We just stood behind and watched them, at least for now it should be fine.
We then walked deeper into the fiery cave, after walking for about 30 minutes we managed to find about 6 lava cobras. They managed to kill him without any of the members being hurt. Ji-Hae and I haven't done anything either, it's as if we weren't given a chance to help them.
But it seems that some people are already very tired, the duration of the anti-heat capsule seems to have run out too. Some of them seemed unable to walk anymore because of the heat. I feel that right now the heat has increased dramatically. I'm not sure but I feel that we can't go any further.
"Guildmaster! Let's continue, we have to finish this raid!" Henry said to Pyon Hee-Ra.
"I'm not sure, some of the guild members already look exhausted." Pyon Hee-Ra seemed to be thinking about the current situation.
"Trust me guildmaster! We can still continue! We are the no. 2 guild in Korea after all." Henry looks like he wants to convince Pyon Hee-Ra.
Then the other guild members convince Pyon Hee-Ra that they are still capable. Even though he looked doubtful, Pyon Hee-Ra decided to continue this raid.
"Then let's go deeper and let's finish this raid."
Then we walked deeper again, I felt this place getting weirder.
"We'd better stop the raid here." I spoke to all of them.
"Why? Are you scared? Aren't you an S-Rank hunter?!" Henry looks to make fun of me.
"It will be more dangerous if we go deeper." I tried to prevent them from continuing the raid.
"Stop that nonsense, we will continue this raid." Henry said confidently.
The other guild members looked convinced as well.
"We'll continue this raid since it's already here." Pyon Hee-Ra said that.
I can't seem to stop them. Then I'll keep an eye on the situation.
After walking for a while we ran into 2 Imps, they were hard to kill because they could float in the air. And they were holding fire spears, they could also shoot fire balls using those spears.
"Everyone attack at the same time!" Pyon Hee-Ra ordered all her guild members.
Then the magicians including Pyon Hee-Ra fired their magic at the 2 Imps. The imps tried to defend themselves, but the magic still hit them. Then they fell, and Henry and the other members took advantage of the situation to finish off the two Imps.
"This is so easy! I think we'll finish this quickly!" Henry said that to cheer up all the guild members.
I could feel that up ahead there was a different aura. Looks like the monsters there are very strong, maybe it's the boss monster.
After taking the mana stones from the two Imps, they continued walking towards that place. There is a big door blocking, the door looks quite big.
"Looks like this is the boss room." said Pyon Hee-Ra.
Flames surrounded the place, and there were two lanterns to the left and to the right of the door. In the middle of the door was a sign in the shape of a human palm. There's no clue as to where it is, but it looks like the way to open it is to put your palm there.
"I think we should put our palms here to open it" said Henry.
"Do it." Pyon Hee-Ra replied.
Then Henry put his hand on the door, and it opened. The ground shook, and all the lanterns died. The room inside was very dark and we couldn't see anything there.
"Looks like this place is nothing," said Henry.
After we all entered the room, suddenly there was a lot of fire lighting up the room. And in front of us was Haize.
"I-isn't that Haize?!" Henry looked surprised, as did the other guild members.
Haize is a demon-shaped monster and has wings. It was large in size, and it emitted flames all over its body.
"We won't be able to fight it!"
"Are we going to die here?!"
Some of the Blood Moon guild members looked very frightened. They weren't sure if they could kill Haize.
Besides this room is getting hotter, several guild members are seen falling and unconscious.
"What should we do guildmaster?!" Henry asked Pyon Hee-Ra.
"W-we have to fight him!" Pyon Hee-Ra looks quite frightened.
Haize even though the monster was in the A-Rank portal, his strength was on par with the monsters in the S-Rank portal. And difficult to kill because he is very strong and can also emit fire.
Henry suddenly runs towards Haize, and he tries to attack her.
"Die you damn monster!" Henry shouted.
But the sword shattered instantly after hitting Haize's body. The haize looked at Henry and tried to attack him. However Pyon Hee-Ra fires her spell Death Beam.
The attack managed to stop Haize's attack. But such a powerful attack couldn't even injure Haize's body in the slightest.
"Run here Henry!" Pyon Hee-Ra shouted. Then Henry ran back toward us. The haize got angry and he spouted fire around him.
The situation is getting worse, looks like I have to take care of this.
