There were several sounds. Yoon Hyuk-soo and two goblins!
"Prepare to fight!"
The warriors, including myself, stepped forward. The warrior Kim Su-hwan. From behind, the archers and magicians were ready to fight.
Park Eun-taek holding a dagger was a thief and covered the gap between close range and long range attacks. Park Eun-taek was new to dungeon exploration so he licked his dry lips while clutching the dagger firmly.
The command magician Kim In-pil was hiding in the back. There weren't any corpses so all he could do was cheer.
Kyaak!
The adult goblins were 1m in size and wielded threatening claws and teeth. The power of their strong jaw meant that flesh could be torn off. One mistake would be instant death.
I gazed at the creatures while holding the sword. Soon the two goblins arrived.
"Water Sphere!"
At the same time, the magician Lee Ji-hye chanted a spell. A sphere of water quickly drifted from her hand. It was followed by arrows.
Kihik!
One of them was hit. But it didn't die. The bleeding goblin became frenzied and rushed forward.
The Guarder Yoon Hyuk-soo lifted his shield and stood in front of Kim Su-hwan. I raised my sword and attacked moderately.
'I have to pretend. There is no meaning in coming here and not participating.'
Meanwhile, Park Eun-taek stabbed a goblin and took its life. There was only one left now. It was surrounded and easily handled.
"The first hunt was successful. How was it? Can you do it?"
Yoon Hyuk-soo asked as he swept the sweat from his forehead.
"You handle aggro really well. I've participated in a few raids so it is really noticeable."
Kim Su-hwan said as he gave a thumbs up.
The aggro hadn't switched during the hunt. Yoon Hyuk-soo quickly turned his head away. This level of maintaining aggro wasn't enough to be called a genius.
Yoon Hyuk-soo stood next to the corpse of a goblin and opened it with a sword. The heart was the size of a small pebble.
Core.
"The size is okay. We will pick it up."
It was a good start. The Core from the other goblin was larger than average.
Yoon Hyuk-soo recovered the two Cores with glee before clapping his hands like he remembered something.
"Ah, that's right. Are the beginners okay?"
"I-I'm fine."
Park Eun-taek stuttered.
The dagger moved and gave a few direct blows. But it wasn't enough to be called a good performance. This was his first hunt so he wanted to impress the group.
I just shrugged my shoulders instead of answering.
It felt strange attacking my dungeon but it wasn't bad. This level of hunting was enough to let me know the general principles.
'There are still quite a few beginners. The raid group will die if they encounter the wrong opponent.'
Those with high potential could die when they were still beginners in the dungeon. But I inwardly shook my head.
'I can't lower the difficulty of the dungeon anymore…this section will be left alone. If a human with high potential dies to a goblin or kobold then they aren't worth it.'
It was low enough. If I lowered it any more then it would turn into pulp. No, it was hard to find any creatures lower than the goblins and kobolds.
In this way, I participated in the raid so I needed to look at it from the perspective of the raid members. The weak warriors who made it through a crisis would be helpful.
Besides, it reminded me of when I was thrown on the battlefield. If they didn't an effort then they would die under the pressure. I felt like that.
"Huiyu! It is going smoothly."
Yoon Hyuk-soo smiled pleasantly after defeating a few creatures.
It had been 2 hours since entering the dungeon and they had already collected 13 Cores. Each person had already earned more than 1 million won. There were smiles of all of the members' faces.
The dead goblins moved slowly behind the party like zombies. This was the command magic of Kim In-pil.
'The way that they are moving.'
I looked at it curiously.
At that time, Yoon Hyuk-soo said.
"Wait a moment."
They had been marching for 2 hours. It was time for a break.
But there was no place to relax. They needed a place where they could notice the creatures approaching. But it was hard to find such places. Only experienced heroes would know such places.
And there were people with a lot of experience in this raid group. The captain Yoon Hyuk-soo saw such a location. They could relax here in peace.
The raid crew sat around and took a break.
"Haven't we gone in too deep?"
One of the women asked and Yoon Hyuk-soo shook his head.
"Do you think we've walked far? In fact, it wasn't that much. If we walk for 30 minutes then we can exit."
"Really?"
"We've been circling around. Why? Are you afraid?"
"That….."
The woman smiled awkwardly.
"Don't worry. Look at this."
Yoon Hyuk-soo opened a leather pouch and his eyes shone as he looked at the Cores.
"13! Huhu. The size of each one means we can each get at least 200 (This refers to price)."
"Shouldn't Captain-nim receive more?"
The octahedral shaped Core would sell for 1.5 times more than the others.
The captain was the one responsible for holding most of the aggro. Furthermore, he was in charge of all the preparations. Everybody recognized that he was exposed to the most risks.
"I have enough."
"Oh my god!"
The women were all excited. Hunting for 2 hours and receiving 200. This seldom ever happened. Luck was also a skill.
"Should we continue for a little more? Our breathing is fine. Can't we hunt up to 5 creatures without any difficulty?"
Yoon Hyuk-soo made a suggestion. It was a waste to stop here. They had already earned this much just on the first day.
Suffering for a few hours could earn enough for a month. It was dangerous but they were shaking with excitement at the thought of money. It was necessary to invest time.
"Okay."
"Let's go."
Everyone expressed their approval. I also had no reason to refuse.
I nodded and the raid group rested for 10 more minutes before beginning to move.
