-NEXT DAY-
-IN FRONT OF THE B-RANK GATE (GOBLIN FOREST)-
"Jin-Hyuk is this the gate ?" said Deok-Gu
"Yeah , this is it" said Jin-Hyuk
"But don't u think only both of us are a too much of an entire gate ?"
"Why ? Scared ?"
"No that's not it "
"Deok-Gu did u really forget we are S-Ranks ?"
"No"
"This is a B-Rank gate . This should be a child's play for one of us to handle"
"I know . It's just that it hasn't been long since I awakened "
"Whether u awakened 3 days ago or 3 months ago , an S-Rank is always an S-Rank . So drop the fear and let's enter"
"Okay , Let's Go"
Both Jin-Hyuk and Deok-Gu entered the dungeon . It was a cave dungeon and the monsters here are all B-Rank monsters with a single A-Rank monster as their leader . Jin-Hyuk and Deok-Gu were moving forward as they realised that light is emiting from the interior of the cave . Jin-Hyuk had a little suspicion so he moved at a faster rate with Deok-Gu following him . Eventually , they entered a place which was like a open space inside the cave . Their were stones sticked to the entirety of the place which were blue in colour and emitted a faint blue light . These were "Mana Stones" .
"There are Mana Stones all around the cave " Jin-Hyuk said
"These are Mana Stones ? What are those ?" Deok-Gu exclaimed
"Deok-Gu , you sure you are awakened ?"
"Yeah , Why ask ?"
"How can u not know about mana stones ? "
"Is it something special ?"
"Idiot , after the appearance of mana in the world . These stones are used as energy resources . They don't cause pollution so the world is free from global warming . The faint bluish light and the colour made these stones a famous jewel as well . Not only does it look good , it has mana inside it which can be used for activating a self defensive shield for those who are non-awakeners "
"Whoa , so its really the stones my sister wears " Deok-Gu said surprised
"Collect all of them . They can be sold at a high price in the Association"
"Really ? Make a estimation of the price "
"This is quite the amount here . If I have to guess it will be more than 2 billion won"
"Whoa , so much cash"
"Yeah"
"I am definitely gonna buy a new house "
"I also have share . So I don't think the money is enough to buy a house in Seoul"
"I have an idea . Can I take all of the money ?"
"You can if you survive from me"
Jin-Hyuk said as he released an ample amount of mana to scare Deok-Gu .
"Whoa , chill out bro I was just kidding"
"You better be"
Jin-Hyuk and Deok-Gu continued inside . They reached another passage which was like the previous one . But this was filled with monsters instead of mana stones .
"Atleast , a hundred " said Jin-Hyuk
"How can only the two of us kill so many beasts ?"
"Not both , just you "
"W-Why ? Are u scared ?"
"Nah , it is your training remember "
"Don't be so mean to me "
"Do it or die "
Deok-Gu sighed one last time before heading towards the monsters . He took out both of his daggers which he bought this morning based on Jin-Hyuk's suggestion . He activated his skill and rushed towards the monsters and the rest which can be seen was blood , corpes and flashes of slashing . After about 3 minutes , Deok-Gu killed all hundred beasts and was a bit exhausted . He was covered in blood and his daggers were liked they were dipped in a bucket of blood just now . Deok-Gu heard a clapping sound as he looked up to see Jin-Hyuk clapping on his performance clearly satisfied .
Jin-Hyuk jumped down towards Deok-Gu and landed just a few feet before him . Jin-Hyuk came towards him and kept a hand on Deok-Gu's shoulder as he said
"Good work bro"
"T-Thanks " replied Deok-Gu (clearly exhausted)
Jin-Hyuk gave him a recovery potion which removes all fatigue and restores mana to a certain amount . Deok-Gu drank the potion which healed the minor injuries in his body and replenished around 40% of his mana.
Both Jin-Hyuk and Deok-Gu walked towards the boss room where they met with more groups of monsters . Deok-Gu took less time to kill the next group and even less time to kill the another group . As he was fighting his speed to kill monsters and reaction speed was increasing rapidly .
After about 2 hours of hunting all the beasts , they arrived in the front of the boss room . They opened the door which was atleast 10 m tall indication and estimation of the size of the boss monster .
"Are you ready ?"
"Yeah , kind of "
"Take away all your thoughts bastard and focus on killing the boss"
"But it is my first boss fight alone"
"Don't worry , I will step in if required "
Both of them entered the room . They saw that the boss was an A-Rank monster the Orc Lord . He was atleast 8m tall . He emitted a dark red murderous aura which could shake even an A-Rank Hunter . Jin-Hyuk and Deok-Gu entered .
"Listen up" said Jin-Hyuk
"What is it ?"
"The weakness of an orc is its eyes , knees and ankle . Try to injure any one part and then stab its heart "
"But its skin is thick . Do u think we can pierce its skin ?"
"You are an S-Rank . You have enough strength to do that "
"Okay"
Jin-Hyuk jumped up and took his position on an ice platform he created in that split second . He saw Deok-Gu heading towards the boss. He got up from his seat , its aura was more dangerous than before as he took out his broadsword . The orc jumped towards Deok-Gu but he dodged easily and pierced his eyes and left a deep cut on one of its ankle . The orc lost its balance for some time before regaining composure as his wounds healed itself .
Deok-Gu gritted his teeth as he slashed both its ankle and as the orc lord fell down , he stabbed his dagger right into his chest and killed the orc lord .
