Solo Leveling Novel, Chapter 141

Solo Levelingi 141

After the minor incident is over .

Jin-Woo moved to the front of the gate with the Knight guild .

Just before he entered

“Wait a minute . ”

President Park Jong-soo and vice president Chung Yoon-tae checked the team’s equipment and condition one more time .

The noisy atmosphere in front of the entrance disappeared and it was now silent .

. . . ‘

Jin-Woo liked this tension before he entered the dungeon .

It calmed his mind .

He could not even imagine the time when he was afraid to pick up phone calls from the Association .

“There’s no problem, sir . ”

“Good”

Nodding, Park Jong-soo moved closer to Jin-Woo, who had stepped back from the leading position in the front .

Jin-Woo’s eyes soon turned to him .

“Sung Jin-Woo . ”

“Yes . ”

Jin-Woo unfolded his arms and faced Park Jong-soo .

Park Jong-soo bowed his head .

“Please take good care of me . ”

It was a short but wholehearted remark .

Jin-Woo replied in the same words .

“Please take good care of me too . ”

Park Jong-soo and Jung Yoon-tae took the lead, and the rest of the hunters went in one by one .

Jin-Woo made sure all the Hunter went inside

and slowly, he walked into the gate

* * *

[You have entered the dungeon . ]

As always, the system message that others can not see greeted Jin-Woo .

Hmm?

Jin-Woo tilted his head .

The dungeon had a huge passage that even giants could pass by .

He hadn’t been to the higher dungeon often, but he was lucky to have seen it once .

Nevertheless, Jin-Woo was not worried about the size of the dungeon .

It’s the sense of the Dungeon’s air

What is it?

He felt comfortable inside the dungeon for some reason .

There were countless times when he felt the ominousness that came through the air, but this was the first time {he felt comfortable about it} .

but

“We’re going!”

Contrary to Jin-Woo’s premonition, the offensive team encountered difficulties from the entrance .

“Twin Head Orge!”

“Everyone, be careful!”

The Magic Beast, which came out of the boss class of the senior dungeon, stood in front of the entrance with glittering red eyes .

“Oh dear-!”

The size of the twin head ogre is more than twice that of an ordinary one .

It was hard to tell how much its strength could be .

If a Raid team encountered a Twinhead Ogre in the Dungeon, they would be busy running away from it .

“Go!”

The Kinghts’ team was different .

Park Jong-soo, the tanker, jumped in front of the Ogre .

It lifted a gigantic club over its head as if it had pulled out a tree and smashed it down .

Kwang!

The shock vibrated resonated the whole cave

However, Park Jong-soo, who had enhanced his body muscles with a skill, endured the enormous power of the Twinhead Ogre without bending his knees even a little .

“Oh, Lord!”

“I’m okay!”

“Gram, I’m also going in . ”

Jung Yoon-tae, a sub tanker, stood beside Park Jong-soo .

Park Jong-soo, who succeeded in attracting the Ogre’s gaze, let out a heavy roar .

“Attack!”

The Knights’ counterattacks began .

Arrows, spells, swords and spears fell upon the Twinhead Ogre .

Euaaag! (sfx for monster howling)

The excited Twin Head Ogre was furious .

However . . .

Park Jong-soo did not give him time to be distracted .

Occasionally, some attacks slipped past his defensive stance, but Jung Yoon-tae quickly took them all

thump!

Jung Yoon-tae, who just received a kick from the Ogre, was pushed back instantly

Thanks to that, the other hunters were unharmed .

“Oh, my God!” (not suitable for context)

The dealers’ attack began to rip the Ogre’s body apart .

Heavy breathing!

Jin-Woo saw why the Knights Guild has been in the first place in Yeongnam for a long time .

“Howl!” (i suspect this is the Ogre roar)

Eventually, the Ogre was pushed back with a foamy mouth .

Thud!

It was the moment when a boss-level Magic Beast fell down without a single casualty .

A neat victory

“Nicesu!” ( i heard it from KR streamers)

Leader Park Jong-soo clenched his fists .

Was it because of him?

His team and himself were more determined than usual

How did we look in the eyes of Hunter Sung Jin-Woo?

‘If you are impressed by teamwork and decide to join the guild, you will not have much to worry about . ‘

A glance

Park Jong-soo and Jin-Woo’s eyes met .

Park Jong-soo, who worried about Jin-Woo reading his mind, is agonizing over what to do . Eventually, he smiled and approached Jin-Woo .

“I’m going to rest for while . ”

“Oh, sure . ”

Jin-Woo nodded .

Unlike him, who is full of Recovery potions, other hunters had limited magic power and stamina

It is essential to rest for a while after fighting a strong Magic Beast .

Park Jong-soo came to the side of Jin-Woo, looked at the Orge’s body and said with a distorted face:

“That’s a big deal . ”

” . . . ”

Jin-Woo’s eyes turned to Park Jong-soo . (redundant imo)

Park Jong-soo said . (redundant imo)

“I don’t think this is going to be easy since the entrance is a twin head ogre . ”

He touched his chin and smiled at Jin-Woo .

“Do you know the nickname of the Twin Head Orge?”

Jin-Woo shook his head and Park Jong-soo said as if he had waited .

“Dough . ” (Kr trans needed) – 무덤 (grave) 지기 (keeper)

Is it a nickname given to the meaning that there are so many victims because it is such a powerful charm?

However, Park Jong-soo’s explanation was different from what Jin-Woo had expected .

“This is . . . . ”

He looked inside the cave .

A gloomy atmosphere seemed to flow from the other side of the pitch-black cave

“This guy who is supposed to be the boss in other dungeons, but since we meet him at the entrance ”

Park Jong-soo spoke with a worried voice .

“There are undead out there . ”

* * *

A phone call came to the Hunter Association Reporting Center .

The caller was a young girl

“Hello, is this the Association?”

As soon as the call connected, the sobbing sound coming over the phone made the receptionist aware that it was not unusual .

“Yes, that’s right . Could you tell me what’s the matter? . ”

“Right now, *sob*, it’s our school . There are monsters outside”

“Outside? What is your position?”

“I’m hiding . I was with a friend, but my friend *sob* I, I was in the bathroom . ”

It was hard to communicate, which was interrupted by the sobbing and crying .

But an experienced employee could connect words to make out what the girl wanted to say .

A message immediately went up to the headquarters .

[Magic Beasts appearance outside the school, confirmation of one victim, and the students are being evacuated . ]

Did the school experience a Dungeon break?’

The receptionist shuddered with fear of the horrifying scenerio and focused on saving the schoolgirl .

“How many monsters are there? Are they nearby?”

– I don’t know . *Screaming* *sob* . so many screams, *sob* . Am I, uh, dead?

“Please calm down and listen to me . ”

She knew from experience how vulnerable humans could be at a dangerous moment .

Because of it, the person receiving the call had to remain calm .

Calm down the caller and offer the best solution for the situation .

That’s her role .

“The Hunters are on their way now, and they never give up on students, so you have to stay calm until the end, okay?”

-“Is . is that so? *sob* I will live?

The voice over the receiver began to quiet down a little .

It was a good sign .

The receptionist, who believed she had succeeded in calming the girl, asked the most important question to survive .

“And those monsters . . . Do you know what kind of Magic Beasts are they?”

“Ye . . Yes, I know . I know . I saw it . On TV . ”

“What is it?”

It is a good solution to hide in the bathroom if its senses are dull and only using its eyes to chase humans .

She prayed that the monster that appeared in the school was that species .

“The . . . the body is humanoid, with a black, ugly face . Oh, and the skin is green . ”

Don’t tell me?’

The receptionist’s eyes widened .

“Or . . . Orc?”

“Yes, that’s the one . Orc . ”

No!’

She jumped up and shouted, unwitttingly

“Get out of there! Now! Orc—”

then

A desperately scream came out and the sounds of the bathroom door broke down

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa” (really want to put Kyak Kyaa here) :))

* * *

The Knights’ raid was smooth .

It was so smooth that something felt strange .

Another one .

“Khhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

A rotten animal, the size of a house, ran away from the dealers and was caught in the magic and met it’s end .

The same thing happened repeatedly, and the Hunters began to wonder .

“It’s weird”

“Why do they keep looking at us and running away?”

“Don’t you think they’re being chased by something?”

In the dungeon, powerful undeads such as vampires, liches, dread worms, and red ghouls came out successively .

They were not easy opponents .

Extremely hard to kill, and one shouldn’t be careless when killing them because they would recover or come back and attack again at any moment

But .

They did not bother fighting and gave up their lives to the Hunters helplessly

as if they were too scared to resist . . . ‘

It was Park Jong-soo’s assessment of the magic beasts .

He even thought that he didn’t have to bring Sung Jin-Woo

No one knows what’s going on in the Dungeon . ‘

Who knew that a top A-class dungeon could be so easily raided?

So what . . . ‘ (seems redundant)

It wasn’t that bad because he could cleanly finish the raid without anyone getting hurt .

It was a good thing, even though minor injury happened here and there

On the other hand, Jin-Woo was disappointed .

I expected it to be a top A-grade dungeon . . ‘

Although there was still terrible mana coming out from the inside, but if it continues to look like this, will I be able to get any experience?

He didn’t even have single a chance to act because of the Knights guild

. . . ‘

Jin-Woo softly sighed

But then, it rose .

Jin-Woo’s footsteps stopped .

Huh?’

As Jin-Woo turned around, Healer Jeong Ye-rim came to a halt .

“What is it, Hunter Sung Jin-Woo? Is there anything in the back?”

Jin-Woo did not answer .

My heart began beating like crazy, unable to answer every question .

Don’t you think so?

The pupils of Jin-Woo’s eyes on the outside of the gate shook loudly .

Only then did Jeong notice that something was strange .

“Hunter Sung Jin-Woo?”

At that moment .

Jin-Woo’s face hardened like a stone .

* * *

“Euaaag”

“Kkyaaag”

Ghastly screams rang out from all over the school

Less than half of the students left the school alive .

The other half had already been killed or were running around the school to avoid the Orcs .

But the running didn’t last long .

The Orc’s hunt, which began downstairs, gradually went upstairs and killed everyone in it’s way .

“Euaaag”

Students who were unable to escape and remained in the classroom covered their ears from the screams downstairs .

The third-grade classromms was on the top floor of the building

Jin-ah was among the third-grade students who had yet to escape .

The only means to defend themselves from the Orcs was a classroom door that was poorly blocked .

“Ah . . . ”

“Damn it”

The boys held chairs, mops, or anything that could be a weapon in their hands .

None of it, however, was strong enough to calm their trembling minds

They just hoped the hunters arrived first before the Orcs got into the classroom .

Boom-!

The door crumpled

“Euaaag”

“Kkyaaag”

During the screams of the students, two bloodstained orcs came into the classroom to see how many humans were there to be killed .

“Oh, oh . ”

The boys, who were guarding the gate, threw the mop and ran to the back door and opened it .

But

The Orcs, who had been waiting in the back door, hammered an axe on the boy’s forehead standing in front of them .

Crckk!

The boy collapsed with his eyes wide open .

“Euaaag”

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

Both the front and the back of the classroom

All the exits were blocked by Orcs .

The rest of the students stood by the window screaming, but everyone knew that jumping off from the sixth floor was the same as being caught by the Orcs .

Brother! Brother!

Jin-ah closed her eyes mumbling Jin-Woo again and again amidst students who tried to escape from the Orcs to the corner .

Her brother was an S-rated hunter .

She felt as if he would come running from somewhere .

It was her only hope .

“Greuk”

“Ugh?”

The Orcs, who had driven the students into the corners of the room, stopped .

The Orcs talked in their own language

“Captain, there is a person with mana . ”

“Kill him first . ”

Unlike ordinary humans, humans who can handle mana are dangerous .

They needed to be dealt with first

One of the Orcs, who was ordered by the captain, looked at the students and found Jin-ah .

“Ah!”

The orc grabbed her wrists and dragged her into middle of the classroom .

“Is this her?”

“Yes, Captain . ”

His subordinate was right .

She was weak, but the Captain could feel mana somewhere

Whether it was the girl’s ability or a weapon, it did not change the fact that she was the first person to be removed .

The captain lifted his axe .

“Ah, ah . . . !”

Jin-ah looked at the axe over her head and closed her eyes .

“Cruk”

The captain snorted, brought his axe down with a nonchalant face .

Shiik-!

‘Brother!’

But then .

Huaak-

The black smoke from Jin-ah’s shadow instantly materialized

Snap!

The captain of the Orc scouts opened his eyes in surprise .

Isn’t my wrist being held in a High Orc’s hand in black armor?

“Cruk?”

Before the captain Orc could say anything

the High Orc punched him and smashed his head like a watermelon .

Creack
