Dungeon Hunter Chapter 5:
Chapter 5: Lightning Queen
Chapter 5- Lightning Queen
The previous evening .
A bluish twilight welcomed us .
‘Not bad . ’
I chuckled at the sight of the sunset .
The first experience had a variety of things .
In the end, the only ones that emerged from the entrance were the three women . Lee Ji-hye and I were carrying the two unconscious women .
Yoon Hyuk-soo……
He walked with the sword sunk in him . It was possible thanks to his high stamina . But he collapsed right in front of the entrance . His eyes were closed like he was sleeping .
‘Things have been resolved . ’
Shortly after leaving the dungeon, the two women were transferred to the shop operated by the Mithril Guild . They would handle things for a small fee .
A place for patients was prepared inside the shop . After emergency first aid was completed, they would be taken to hospital . Read at Rainbow Turtle Translations
“What will you do now?”
I asked Lee Ji-hye who was staring at the sky with a blank expression .
“Work hard . I will do my best to live . ”
“Do you still plan to continue participating in raids?”
She shook the leather pouch filled with Cores .
“Except for selling my body, there isn’t any other high income jobs for a twenty five year old single woman . ”
Somehow I could feel something in her voice . It seemed like she needed money to live a normal life .
Anyway, she hadn’t abandoned the idea of exploring dungeons .
I nodded and asked again .
“Do you intend to join a guild?”
Lee Ji-hye opened her mouth without thinking .
“If I can earn money safely then I will sign up . But the screening of the 5 guilds is choosy . If I can’t join them then is it worth signing up to another guild?”
5 famous guilds existed in Korea . fjahuarheandjbnskja
Each of the were led by Starters and the reliable raids was the biggest benefit . There are various merits but it was a big challenge itself joining the business .
Lee Ji-hye seemed to have applied to all 5 guilds . And failed the steps . It was a pessimistic attitude .
I pulled out a business card from your wallet .
“Take this . ”
“A business card?”
“Just mention my name and ask for formal admission . Take it . ”
Lee Ji-hye accepted the business card and red the writing in the middle .
“Heaven’s Will… . ”
“Is there a problem?”
Heaven’s Will was clearly one of the 5 famous guilds .
Lee Ji-hye shook her head .
“No . Rather, what is your relationship with the Heaven’s Will guild master?”
“There is no need to know that . ”
“Randalph ssi . Tell me honestly . You are a beginner right?”
“I’ll take care of it . ”
I didn’t have the slightest intention of explaining . I just let Lee Ji-hye imagine whatever she wanted . It didn’t matter where her imagination ended up .
Lee Ji-hye was locked in her thoughts . Read at Rainbow Turtle Translations
The scene of Yoon Hyuk-soo and Kim In-pil was haunting her head . Those series of actions wasn’t something a beginner could do .
“Perhaps, Park Eun-taek ssi……”
Lee Ji-hye muttered in a small voice .
Park Eun-taek had thrown his body towards the creatures . As a result, they were able to escape .
However, didn’t he have the ability to easily overpower Yoon Hyuk-soo and Kim In-pil? Then couldn’t he leave the dungeon on his own?
Lee Ji-hye swallowed hard .
She should refrain from any speculation . Anyway, it had already happened and she couldn’t turn back time . Above all, she couldn’t easily deal with the man in front of her . She just imagined it . Read at Rainbow Turtle Translations
Lee Ji-hye emptied her head .
‘Excellent . ’
I looked at Lee Ji-hye with eyes filled with praise .
She had the excellent judgement to swallow her words . Her potential was low but she could be the manager of his raids .
“A person absolutely can’t grasp everything . Anyway…I understand . I will get in contact with them . ”
Lee Ji-hye said with a sigh .
This was an opportunity for her . It was a solid path to enter one of the 5 guilds . She wouldn’t lose a thing even if it was false .
“But what are you going to do with that diary?”
I pulled out the diary left behind by Kim In-pil . It was a diary designed in an old-fashioned manner and gave off the scent of mana . bvjakfsadujsaoijds
I used Mind’s Eye to confirm the details again .
Name: Book of Command Spells (U) Description- A demon’s book of madness . Those with low intelligence are likely to be infected by the madness . If it is used during hunting, the magic power of the diary will rise depending on the system . The special job ‘Command Magician’ can be inherited . |
‘This… . . ’
I saw a sneak peak in the dungeon but it was amazing .
A unique rating? In other words, a unique item .
The Heroes weren’t at the level to obtain a rare grade skill or item . That fact that this journal awakened with Kim In-pil was enormous .
I wondered why a human had this item and picked it up from Kim In-pil .
It also have the ability to inherit a special occupation . It was a unique item at a decent enough level .
‘Kim In-pil had something good . ’
A treasure like this being in the hands of someone with no power was a sin itself . Kim In-pil obtaining something so precious .
He must have been a command shaman in a past life . Kim In-pil had died and couldn’t keep the treasure anymore .
Those without Mind’s Eye wouldn’t see the enormous value of the diary and would just think of it as ‘japtem . ’
I decided to take the diary .
“I’ll take care of it . ”
“Burn it if possible . That thing, it must have received a curse . ”
Lee Ji-hye shuddered . The eyes that looked at the diary was full of disgust .
The experiences she went through in the dungeon had a substantial impact on her . She had replenished the nutrition but the mental blow would take time to recover .
Lee Ji-hye’s shoulders sagged before she turned and said to me .
“I will go and try . An unknown beginner? Is this really the business card of Heaven’s Will?”
“Go and do that . ” Read at rainbowturtletranslations . com
“Oh, I should go home and wash first…I also need to go to the hospital . It is difficult . ”
“If it is tough then I can give you a ride . ”
“It’s okay . I can’t depend on you so much . It is comfortable riding in a taxi . ”
Lee Ji-hye laughed and started to descend the mountain . Perhaps the next time I saw her would be at Heaven’s Will guild house .
I gazed in her direction for a moment before turning back to the dungeon .
‘And I haven’t met Yihi . ’
She was so busy that she didn’t even realize I entered the dungeon .
Yihi was the spirit of the Dungeon Core . She was in charge of various affairs in the dungeon and made it less bleak . It was possible to Yihi to create characteristics like flowers or a lake on each floor .
‘She is busy . ’
Right now, building the foundation of the dungeon was in full swing so it must be hectic . I had handed over some points so that she could create necessary things on the 2nd to 4th floors .
‘From the 2nd floor onwards, rare battle gear can be obtained so I need some precautions… . . ”
I also left this to Yihi . Crafty places were designed to wake up the spirit of the heroes .
It should be proceeding steadily right now .
‘I have to go back . ’
The suit was heavy . I didn’t think I would have to wear it in the dungeon for so long . I hit my neck several times before lightly jogging .
* * *
South Korea was noisy .
It had been 9 months since the dungeons appeared . The first guild to break through to the 2nd floor of the dungeon appeared . Read at Rainbow Turtle Translations
Heaven’s Will .
The guild master who was a Starter, Kim Yong-woo . Those three characters were spread all over various video and print media .
The public television channel, QBS used a vast amount of funds to get an exclusive interview with Kim Yong-woo . A famous announcer would only get 10 minutes of interview time but it caused an explosive sensation in South Korea .
The contents of the interview were as followed .
-Guild master of Heaven’s Will, I’m sure many people are wondering about Kim Yong-woo ssi . Please give a short self-introduction .
“Nice to meet you . I am the guild master of Heaven’s Will, Kim Yong-woo . As you know, I am an Awakened and one of the Starters . I am 28 years old . Single . ”
-Thank you for the answer . Then I will quickly jump onto the next question . The dungeons and Awakened are the hottest thing this year! Does Kim Yong-woo ssi have any idea have this?
“The dungeon is obviously a dangerous place . China and the Philippines have suffered significant damage from the monster waves . But as long as the Awakened are present, the creatures can’t run rampant . When looking at our occupation status window, I think our role is to get rid of the devil that exists at the top of the dungeons . ”
-Devil? Are you talking about the devil with two horns?
“Haha . That is everybody’s imagination . Actually, I don’t know what it is . There might be a real god, aliens or humans from an underground world . ”
-I can’t possible imagine it . Now, this is the next question . Recently the popularity of the Awakened in the entertainment industry is soaring high into the sky . How do you see this?
“A good phenomenon . The Awakened are still people . We suddenly went through a change but we still have emotions . I hope you look at us without any discrimination . ”
-I understand . Then I will finally get down to business . 12 people have succeeded in capturing the 1st floor? uteharoajioadksad
“They are the elite 12 members of my guild so capturing the 1st floor with a strategy wasn’t that difficult . It was more difficult finding a way . We spent a whole week finding the path to the 2nd floor . ”
-Amazing . I know how scary the creatures in the dungeons are from looking at the videos . They are horrible looking and cruel so it is unbelievable that you can easily hunt them . Are there many differences between the 1st and 2nd floor?
“Orcs appear . The size is 1 . 5 times larger and it has the nose of a pig . The thick muscles and tough leather means that we almost died several times . Other than that, treasures are hidden all over the place . A scroll that allows you to jump 500m at once, a leather pouch that allows items twice the size to enter, potions 10 times more effective than grinding up Cores, a sword with a rare rating…that is all on the 2nd floor . ”
-Wah! The descriptions are really eye-opening! Does that mean the 2nd floor is a treasure trove?
“It could be seen that way . But we have to be careful . The orcs are really scary . They frightened me during my encounters with them . If I met them alone then I would instantly flee . ”
-The creatures are so ugly that I don’t even want to see them in my dreams . Heaven’s Will guild master Kim Yong-woo, can you please say one final thing .
“Don’t panic if you one day awaken . I hope you think of it as a blessing . And there is a chance for everyone to receive a blessing . We are the protectors of humanity and also contribute to humanity’s development . The dungeon is a very dangerous place but humanity can use the knowledge to take on step further . It is over . ”
The video went up on YouTube and the interview spread all over the world . It achieved 300 million views and foreign news media aired it with subtitles .
The thought of treasure being found in the dungeon in South Korea naturally made people go crazy . Read at Rainbow Turtle Translations
Due to this, South Korea became even more aware of the Awakened . They were looked upon very favourable, except for the sports industry .
Heroes . The guardians of humanity .
The power of those words was beyond imagination . The Cores were used to cure some terminally ill patients and was successful in giving the Awakened a good image .
There were also devices that utilized the actual Core and there were heated debates about the importance of the Awakened .
Foreign celebrities were among the travellers heading towards South Korea . The only thing on their mind were the treasures unearthed in South Korea .
Korea became the subject of the world’s interest!
At its heart was Heaven’s Will .
And behind that…a man by the name of Randalph Brigsiel .
* * *
There was a strange atmosphere during the meeting at the guild house of Heaven’s Will . A total of 45 people were staring blankly at the man at the entrance .
There was silence for a while . Even the sound of saliva being swallowed died . There was tension in their faces .
1 second felt like an eternity . Read at Rainbow Turtle Translations
The man moved . The man that held the room’s attention opened the door to the guild master’s room .
After a while, the silence was broken . They could barely keep their senses .
“My house, my house . ”
“I can’t lose my composure . What is his identity?”
“Just because he succeeded in the raid . Anyone could…this dirty South Korea . ”
Little by little, there was the sound of complaints . Most of them were from people that just joined the guild . They dreamed of going on a formal raid but the guild chose depending on their performance so far .
“Sunbae-nim . Is that guy really that good?”
Eventually, one of the new members couldn’t tolerate it any longer and asked a muscular man sharpening his weapon .
He was one of the 12 elite members that attacked the 1st floor in Heaven’s Will .
“How many times have I told you? He is someone who defeated the orcs . If it wasn’t for him then we would have been wiped out . ”
“I can’t believe it . He doesn’t look like it… . ”
The muscular man frowned .
“I assure you, no one here can beat the orcs in a one on one fight . That man did it . He took on 2~5 of them alone . ”
“Does that mean even Sunbae-nim can’t win against the orcs?”
“The orcs are enemies that protagonists in fantasy novels often face . The kobolds and goblins aren’t their opponent . I would lose 8 out of 10 times if I fought them . ”
The people who heard it couldn’t believe it .
The muscular man was considered as the top 5 powerhouses in the guild . Yet he said that he could only win 2 out of 10 times . They still weren’t convinced that the orcs were so strong .
All members of the guild wanted to participate in the 1st floor invasion . They had quietly waited for the top members of the guild to get some results . uiheruajkndakjdbsa
But among them, a man they didn’t know had participated in the raid . He didn’t participate in any guild meetings so their nerves were scratched when he appeared .
Of course, the man was well known within the guild . They were aware that the guild master had gifted him with a Bugatti Veyron . Read at Rainbow Turtle Translations
In contrast to their snobbish words, each one of them felt their spirit being crushed in front of a giant and felt a crushing pain in their stomach .
No matter how proficient they were, they had never seen something like him . The man proved his skills to the 11 people participating in the raid . And they kept repeating ‘excellent and ‘strong’ in regards to him .
Even an orc was no match . It was no wonder there were complaints .
“Skills are secondary . Is he making a personal raid group within the dungeon? He brought in a female manager and a woman cleaning the toilers…rather than a raid group, it is like he wants to create a flower garden . ”
There was another problem .
The guild gathered the optimal personnel as needed to form raid groups . Now the man was creating a raid group with fixed members of the guild .
Making a raid group would create a fuss .
The separation of powers would affect the guild . The guild members wouldn’t just belong to the guild anymore . They could refuse the guild master’s commands and only move according to the direction of the raid captain .
There were many members that made a fuss .
Lee Ji-hye had been brought in as an outside manager . And he had taken a newly entered girl away . The guild’s new hire that had only been there for a month was snatched away like a falling fruit .
The man’s behaviour was just making a mockery of the guild’s traditions .
Thus there was talk that he planned to make his raid group a flower garden .
And the crucial cause of this turmoil…the fact that both women were beauties was to blame .
The muscular man stopped polishing his weapon and clicked his tongue .
“The leader has given his approval . We are not a mere guild . ”
“I want to hear your thoughts . ” Read at Rainbow Turtle Translations
“This might not be a bad thing for the guild . He definitely has the skills . A skill with the rare rating is definitely worth investing in . I also believe in the results he has produced so far . ”
“If Sunbae-nim says so . Ehyo!”
The guild members sighed as the muscular man shrugged .
“Think about it . We’ve cleared the 1st floor and established ourselves as South Korea’s number 1 guild . That means you will get benefits . The dungeons have appeared for 8 months and now you will have some opportunities to play . Why are baby chicks acting so impatient?”
There were standard requirements .
A much smaller number of monsters now existed on the 1st floor of the dungeon . Information arrived that they were disappearing here and there . The reliability was 99 . 9% . It was good news .
“Our chance has come?”
All the guild members hoped to explore the 2nd floor of the dungeon . They didn’t think the chance would come easily .
The personnel who participated in the raid all received tremendous rewards . The various treasures found on the 2nd floor transcended the rewards received by killing the creatures on the 1st floor .
The muscular man smiled .
“In the near future, 3 raid groups filled with 12 people each will be formed to explore the 2nd floor . It was originally scheduled to be announced a week later but it should be okay for me to tell you this . ”
“Heok! Really?”
36 people would be mobilized for 3 raids filled with 12 people .
All the people who heard the story had wide eyes . The muscular man turned his head and calmly said to everyone who was listening to the story .
“So raise your skills . I’m saying this to all of you . Life is a battle . If something goes wrong then it will end at once . If you want to gain some achievements then build up your skills . ”
“Ah… . . ”
“In that sense, do you want to participate in a 10 day special training?”
Flash!
Hands started to move like lightning .
“Me!”
“I’d like that very much, special training!”
The muscular man’s eyes shone .
“Express **** training . You can’t mess around . If you’re not good enough then you will die . Do you still want to go?” Read at Rainbow Turtle Translations
It was like cold water had been poured on a wildfire .
Hell training . He aimed to show them the real **** .
“Those who want to go, follow me . ”
The muscular man stood up with his weapon .
He was one of the 12 members who participated in the raid with Randalph Brigsiel . He was convinced that only the strong could live in the future .
He had been moving at a lukewarm pace . Continuing to the 2nd and 3rd floor of the dungeon . He didn’t stand a chance with his state right now .
‘I’ve been too complacent with my skills . It has been a few months at best… . ’
An example of the strong becoming lazy .
But there was a strong man in the guild he wanted to follow .
A wall .
And he would go beyond that wall . Read at Rainbow Turtle Translations
‘Huhu!’
The muscular man, Kim Tae-hwan .
He was a man who would laugh while jumping into hellfire .
* * *
“The outside is quite noisy . ”
I said to Kim Yong-woo after hearing the noise outside from the sealed room .
Kim Yong-woo just laughed while raiding my proposal about establishing a raid group .
“There are multiple times when they are noisy . Thanks to Randalph-nim clearing the 1st floor, you are now a perfect target . The time of your proposal… . ”
“A festival . ”
There were no festivals in the Demon World . They divided the spoils of victory and enjoyed the atmosphere but they didn’t have any idea of the concept itself .
In that sense, a human festival was very lively .
“Are you interested? In fact, I would have rented a huge hall sooner or later . It is pretty fun . ”
Despite being a miser, Kim Yong-woo wrote something down . He was using his position as a guild master .
I shook my head .
“That’s okay . Rather, just make sure that there is no problem with the proposal passing . ”
Kim Yong-woo scanned it and roughly shook his head .
“You don’t want it formally?”
“Still, it is good to get things straight . ”
“Hrmm…there is no problem with the proposal itself . I’ve already heard about an independent raid group that only focuses on attacking dungeons . ”
It was the first time I submitted official documents but the story of the raid I was creating had already spread through the guild . The speed at which the issue spread through the guild had spread beyond imagination .
Kim Yong-woo looked at the proposal and muttered .
“The raid name ‘Devil Hunters’…somehow it reminds me of the black flame dragon . ”
Devil Hunters . The name of the raid group would be reduced to D . H .
The name was a reminder of my goal to get rid of all the demons in the dungeons and to become the devil . Read at Rainbow Turtle Translations
“There shouldn’t be any changes . ”
“I think it looks great . Should I seal it now?”
Kim Yong-woo who had his attitude changed asked him . I nodded and Kim Yong-woo immediately stamped the proposal .
This was the moment that the raid group Devil Hunters was launched .
“How are you going to fill the other group? One manager and one new member . You are walking down a very hard path . Wouldn’t it help to recruit more influential people?”
Right now I was thinking about the future of the raid group . I intended to make the strongest raid group but had only found one appropriate person for it .
“My methods will take a bit of time . But I am confident they will become the strong raid group . It won’t be bad from the guild master’s position . ”
It wasn’t bad for a guild to have many strong members .
Kim Yong-woo handed the proposal to me .
“I’m at your disposal . I am Randalph-nim’s faithful servant . I will follow Master-nim . ”
“I never expected this when I rescued you . ”
It was really surprising . I had been wandering the dungeon when I came across Kim Yong-woo and decided to help him . I hadn’t hoped for something like this .
Kim Yong-woo just grinned . bvnabfajdnbsadasjd
“Studying and social experience, I just used every chance I received to do well . Isn’t it thanks to Master-nim that I broke through the 1st floor? I don’t think my choice was wrong this time . ”
Kim Yong-woo .
He thought he was an elephant . But he realized that he was lower than an ant . Instead, he decided to stand next to the elephant .
This was the secret of his life . Otherwise he wouldn’t have become the guild leader of one of Korea’s top 5 guilds .
I received the proposal and said .
“As long as you’re not pretending in order to stab me in the back, I will help you . I hope you made the right choice . ”
“Ahh! Don’t say that even as a joke . ”
Kim Yong-woo waved both his hands .
“Only you know whether it is a joke or not . ”
I gave him advice just in case he was prepared to betray me . It was in order to properly scare him .
I turned my body .
The proposal was stamped so now I was going to plan my raid group .
“Will you participate in the festival?”
Kim Yong-woo asked before I opened the door .
“I will make a decision at the time . ”
“Then I will send you the official documents when the schedule has been determined . ”
“Thank you . ”
“It is natural . ”
Kim Yong-woo’s eyes blazed with his loyalty .
I ignored him and opened the door of the room .
‘This time I will participate . ’
I wasn’t very interested in a human festival but not participating would cause discord within the guild . Read at rainbowturtletranslation . com
I didn’t care but there was a need to create an amicable relationship . In order to be a member of Heaven’s Will, I needed to participate in a minimum amount of activities . I was aware that the other side had no flexibility .
‘I need to slowly build the foundation . ’
The creation of my own raid group! The most urgent thing was to collect all the members .
This time, the new member known as the ‘Lightning Queen’ in my previous life appeared in my head and a warm smile appeared .
* * *
The spacious hall on the guild house’s 3rd floor .
It was the space given to the Devil Hunters raid group . It was a wide area for only 3 people but it would become narrow once the positions started to fill up .
There was no furniture and I felt a strange tension as I entered the empty hall . The manager Lee Ji-hye and newly recruited member Yoo Eun-hye were in a standoff .
Stiff expressions were on their faces .
I slowly opened up .
“What’s going on?”
Lee Ji-hye confirmed my presence and said .
“Captain-nim . You shouldn’t pick her . ”
“Unni . Wasn’t it just a mistake? It couldn’t be helped . ”
“Have you accidentally killed someone?”
“I’m sorry . But you’re not dead!” Read at Rainbow Turtle Translations
It was indeed a meaningful conversation . Lee Ji-hye seemed to be acting unfair towards Yoo Eun-hye .
I looked over their appearances and nodded .
There was a faint burning smell from Lee Ji-hye’s hair so I could guess the reason .
‘It is due to Yoo Eun-hye’s passive . ’
In my previous life, Yoo Eun-hye had been called Lightning Queen . She had a young appearance like a student and the bob cut and mischievous eyes gave him an impressive appearance . However, she was afflicted with some type of passive .
I use Mind’s Eye to take a deep look at Yoo Eun-hye’s status window .
Name: Yoo Eun-hye | |||
Occupation | Hero (Lightning Magician) | Title | * Dozen Lightning Strikes (R, Magic +4) |
Stats | |||
Strength | 20 | Intelligence | 44 |
Agility | 15 | Stamina | 14 |
Magic | 45 (+4) | ||
Potential: (138/423)
Uniqueness: Has received the protection of the spirit of lightning . A state received after being hit by lightning and standing on the door between life and death . Skill: Lightning Bolt (N), Electric Current (N, Passive) |
It was a truly strange status window .
Her potential was outstanding . The owner of the highest potential I had seen until now . It was comparable to Timely Rain’s guild master, Alin .
The problem was the uniqueness . It was the part about receiving the protection of a lightning spirit .
Perhaps due to the lightning spirit, her body acted as a big lightning rod . If lightning struck then it would directly hit her . As a result, she even received a title .
She might suffer a bit but it wasn’t bad . There were many toxins and waste running through the body . The owner of this talent could be called a genius but… .
‘The passive Electric Current is the problem . ’
The lightning had a comfortable place and wandered inside the building . She unknowingly spread this aura everywhere she went . This was the reason why Lee Ji-hye’s hair was burnt .
“Don’t come any closer . If you take one more step then I will attack!”
Lee Ji-hye warned . She didn’t want to attack the enemy but she needed extreme patient to endure the charred hairs . Read at Rainbow Turtle Translations
Yoo Eun-hye had a long face .
“Unni’s hair was so beautiful that I inadvertently touched it . But my passive was activated . Unni, we are Hye sisters . Huh? I won’t do it again . ”
Lee Ji-hye and Yoo Eun-hye . Both of them had names that ended in Hye . People should overlook a small mistake .
But Lee Ji-hye had no intention of forgiving her .
“We are not sisters . How can you call me unni when you burned my hair?”
“Don’t you think it looks good? No, I’m kidding . So don’t be like that . Sometimes I just joke around for fun . I’m sorry unni!”
“You… . ”
“Stop . ”
I finally spoke .
I needed to control the situation .
“Emotions shouldn’t consume you in a raid group . ”
Lee Ji-hye held out her burnt hair and whined .
“But…” bfiahroaijdsaodklna
“I told you to stop . ”
I firmly said .
The Devil Hunters raid group had been formally launched so I needed to discipline them . I was the leader of the raid group and Lee Ji-hye and Yoo Eun-hye were only members .
The atmosphere was heavy as Lee Ji-hye closed her mouth .
“You are the only manager of Devil Hunters . Your job is to check the status of the members and to organize the schedules, such as when we take a job overseas . Don’t disappoint me from the start . ”
“I’m sorry . ”
Lee Ji-hye bowed her head .
She was a bit confused at first but she realized something after coming to Heaven’s Will .
A man that even the guild master listened to! An overwhelming amount of charisma flowed from him . The man talked strangely but it was hard to reject him . He gave off a strong impression .
It was the first time she met a guy like this . A person like that made her the manager .
She couldn’t disappoint him from the beginning .
‘Saying it one time is enough . ’
I was strong compared to humans . And Lee Ji-hye was a wide woman . It wasn’t necessary to repeat it . I decided to stop my harsh words at this point .
I pulled out a small vial and handed it to Lee Ji-hye .
“Take this . It will solve the problem of your hair . ”
Lee Ji-hye’s eyes blinked as she took the vial .
“What is it?”
“A potion I obtained in the dungeon . It is much more effective than grinding a Core up . ”
“Ah… . . ”
Lee Ji-hye’s expression seemed like she had been slapped . Simply grinding a Core into a potion couldn’t revive dead cells .
However, it was a different story if it was one of the treasures obtained . Lee Ji-hye moved her shoulders and freaked out . Read at Rainbow Turtle Translations
“I-I can’t receive this . If this is a treasure from the dungeon… . ”
“If you don’t take it then I will throw it out . ”
“Yes?”
“Like I said . For me, this is an item that I don’t need . ”
My body wasn’t weak enough to need an inferior potion like this . A wound on my body would need an advanced potion to cure . Lee Ji-hye seemed really moved as she looked at me with tears in her eyes .
“T-thank you . I will treasure it . ”
I inwardly shook my head .
I didn’t understand the uproar over a little bit of burned hair .
However, I heard that hair was important to women . In particular, women invested a lot into maintaining long, straight hair .
Perhaps hair was even more important than their lives . Thus Lee Ji-hye’s attitude was natural .
“C-Captain-nim?”
Yoo Eun-hye who was watching the scene asked .
“……?”
“What am I doing here? Cleaning? The laundry?”
“Why do you think that?”
“Well, hehe . I’m not doing something like that?”
“There is no need to . You are different from those people . ”
I had no intention of giving up such a critical power .
Yoo Eun-hye was confused that she wouldn’t be cleaning and asked .
“Then what am I doing? Ah! Rubbing your shoulders? My hands are amazing . Perhaps you might become addicted to it?”
Then tragedy would occur when her passive was activated .
Based on her kindness, Yoo Eun-hye somehow reminded him of Yihi . Yihi would probably scold him angrily if she heard his thoughts .
“You seem to be misunderstanding something . Did you think I brought you here to run errands?”
The sullen Yoo Eun-hye closed her mouth .
“I’m honestly not sure . Do you know what my nickname is? Human lightning rod . I’ve been struck by lightning a number of times . My body even lets out electric currents . Do you know how much disruption and damage I cause to the area? Of course, I know I have a pretty face but Captain-nim is unlikely to bring me for that reason . ” euthaurjnakfnakjdsa
Yoo Eun-hye who was in charge of chores had suddenly become involved in Devil Hunters . That was 3 days ago . Yoo Eun-hye had been worrying about it for 3 days .
“Just have confidence in yourself . ”
“That is to say, yes . Sometimes I think that people don’t see me as a woman . ”
“You are amazing . I have high expectations for you . ”
“Expectations… . ?”
“Yes . Show all the people of Heaven’s Will how excellent you are . ”
“Hehe . I will burn them . It feels nice . This is the first time someone had expectations from me . Still, I’m sorry . You are probably going to be disappointed . ”
Yoo Eun-hye laughed .
From an early age, no one ever had any expectations for her . Many people were scared of her and wouldn’t come close .
She was struck by lightning and visited a shaman but the shaman just proclaimed ‘This is karma from a previous life . Build up your virtue . ’
Even her family and relatives were unnerved and saw her as a burden .
Yoo Eun-hye was delighted when she Awakened . She could finally be called a talent . However, the passive Electric Current flowing through her body brought her back to despair .
‘It is serious . ’
If Yoo Eun-hye was useless then the vast majority of humanity was less than trash . The flower hadn’t blossomed yet but I need to fix that mentality . Read at Rainbow Turtle Translations
‘I should make a move . ’
Her thoughts were full of self-deprecation . If that continued, it was natural for her health to fade . bhjabfuiadjksnasd
Furthermore, Yoo Eun-hye was a magician not a warrior . All her abilities were focused in intelligence and magic, not the physical traits of a tough warrior .
The door between life and death!
In the past, she learned some knowledge while dealing with tough opponents . I didn’t personally experience how great she was . It would be a shame to waste that talent . In the past, Yoo Eun-hye didn’t fully understand her talent or ability as a magician .
Of course, I had no intention of letting the past life repeat itself . Leaving this neglected would be a sin .
If Yoo Eun-hye was perfectly raised then she could ride the lightning and aim it at enemies .
In order to do this, she needed to increase her physical skills through training . Right now her state was too imbalanced . Read at Rainbow Turtle Translations
“Follow me . I will be starting your training from today . ”
I exited the hall .
* * *
“…This is the dungeon?”
Yoo Eun-hye said as she looked at the entrance that seemed like the giant mouth of a lion .
“Haven’t you seen a dungeon before?”
Of course it was a dungeon . Yoo Eun-hye had a horrified look on her face .
“We are just two people . ”
“I am a raid captain and can deal with them . ”
“You might be a raid captain but I’m not strong! How many times have I seen the dungeon?”
I replied like it was no big deal .
“Is that so? Don’t worry . From now on you will see it a lot . ”
Yoo Eun-hye felt like crying . That wasn’t what she meant .
“W-what if I don’t want to? Ignoring my words……”
“No, I will keep it in mind . ” uethanjkasndakjdasd
It was like a situation where I heard a confession .
“Then why……”
“Do you think you will die here? I won’t let that happen . ”
“D-don’t tell me we really came here for training? A dungeon?”
“Yes . ”
“Oh my **** . ”
Unbelievable!
Yoo Eun-hye felt dismay .
An influential leader . However, he was the only capable one . Perhaps she would be a burden .
“Don’t use any magic . You can only deal with the creatures with your sword . ”
“Huh? A sword, you want me to use a sword? Is Captain-nim well?”
Yoo Eun-hye was currently carrying a longsword . She told she was just carrying the weapon for him . It was enough to make her curse .
“That’s right . You have to use the sword . ”
The confirmation killed her . Yoo Eun-hye’s body shook . Read at Rainbow Turtle Translations
While Yoo Eun-hye was crying silently, I looked at my plans for the future .
While the demons were using the training room to get stronger, the Awakened were also experiencing noticeable growth .
Killing creatures or completing quests would cause them to grow . It might be doubted because it couldn’t be seen but experience was always been gained .
I could see it rise with Mind’s Eye . The potential opening . And the way the abilities rose depending on their actions . Using a sword against the creatures would have a higher chance of physical abilities rising .
‘It is best to raise the abilities evenly . ’
Let’s imagine that a magician had 100 intelligence, 100 magic and 30 points for everything else . Obviously their body would explode from an enormous hit from a creature . There were constraints on using magic successively .
Magic wasn’t that easy to use . A double-edged sword . A power that could cause miracles but also rebound on the user . Read at rainbowturtletranslation . com
“Eu…in the end I entered . ”
Yoo Eun-hye muttered as she stumbled after me into the dungeon . Signs of anxiety were clearly evident . She was so scared from the beginning that she couldn’t open her mouth any longer .
“Don’t worry . You aren’t going to die in a place like this . ”
It was sincere .
Yoo Eun-hye’s level of talent was a frontrunner in the world . In my previous life, she had raised her level to being one of the 10 strongest humans .
Unless she encountered a Duke travelling in my dungeon, she could kill anything in here .
“I will believe in Captain-nim . ”
The desire for survival emerged in Yoo Eun-hye’s eyes .
I just laughed .
The story about how I dealt with the orcs on the 2nd floor of the dungeon was famous within the guild . It was funny that the master of the goblins and kobolds couldn’t handle them . Yoo Eun-hye followed without saying anything .
“Finish off the two kobolds that are coming . ”
“Heok . ”
“Get ready to fight . But once again, you shouldn’t use magic . ”
“I-I will try . ”
Her tone changed . It will filled with tension .
Yoo Eun-hye had been to dungeons several times . Despite not killing a lot of creatures, her high intelligence meant she could recover from panic . She wouldn’t give up easily .
“I can do it, I can do it, I can do it……”
Yoo Eun-hye hypnotized herself . She sincerely wanted to live up to my expectations . She also wanted to prove to herself that she wasn’t useless . Read at Rainbow Turtle Translations
It was a good thing . If she continued being frightened by the creatures then I would have been disappointed . It was important to have the will to fight .
“They’re coming . ”
I said in a low voice . uerhaojisklnfadmaldk
“I will deal with one kobold . And the remaining one is up to you, Yoo Eun-hye . ”
“Yes, yep!”
Kieeek!
The two kobolds could smell that prey was present and hurried .
I reached out and a sword appeared out of thin air .
It was a magic sword with a rare rating that I used 20,000 points to purchase . A weapon had been necessary to handle the higher ranked creatures summoned during the beginner’s protection period .
The appearance was different from an ordinary long sword . However, it issued a very sharp light in the darkness .
I grasped the sword lightly and said while looking at the kobolds approaching .
“The kobold has similar strength to you . Don’t use straightforward attacks . Just like the goblins, be careful of their nails and teeth . ”
I demonstrated for Yoo Eun-hye . I moved as slowly as possible and showed her some normal moves .
Kiik!
The kobolds barely reached my chest . The location was a little low to handle with a sword but there were little tricks that could kill them .
Duk .
I kicked the ground . Dust rose up . jgahdfjkadskjadnadsk
The two kobolds hesitated for a moment . I pierced the kobold’s forehead in that moment .
“They are short-sighted . Their eyes aren’t good . Thus, they will briefly panic when there is smoke . In the meantime, use that chance to attack the head . It is best to cut off their heads . ”
At the same time, I removed my sword from the forehead and cut the neck . One kobold was perfectly handled in a moment .
“Now it is your turn . ”
Kieeeek!
The remaining creature went berserk . Its two eyes turned red and it kept snorting . It had a furious appearance .
Gulp .
Yoo Eun-hye barely maintained her spirit . She was barely holding herself together .
I stepped back . I didn’t attack it so the aggro wasn’t on me . Naturally the kobold would aim at the target closest to it .
‘You aren’t going to die . But I won’t act as your guardian . ’
I would stay in the background until Yoo Eun-hye’s life was in danger . Handling the creature alone would greatly increase her stats . Pushing herself to the limit would raise all her abilities .
She needed to cross the wall . But she needed to climb it alone . Yoo Eun-hye was now facing her first wall . Read at Rainbow Turtle Translations
“Huup!”
Yoo Eun-hye took a deep breath and moved her feet like I did . Dust went everywhere .
The kobold hesitated . It was only for 0 . 5 seconds but Yoo Eun-hye didn’t miss the gap .
Bam!
But it was shallow . The sword barely pierced the skin of the kobold . Yoo Eun-hye hastily pulled out her sword and moved it to the neck .
At that moment, the kobold raised its hand . It was a posture to catch the attack and allowed it to keep its neck . nbvamnfbadsnmada
Instead, the arm it lifted flew .
“Ah!”
Yoo Eun-hye cried out in a sad voice as her blow was blocked . She cut its arm instead of its neck . What was she supposed to do now? Finally she turned and looked at me .
But she didn’t put down her sword .
‘No . ’
Her high intelligence meant she could find a resolution . She also had a strong supporter .
Yoo Eun-hye looked at the kobold .
The kobold was in pain from one of its arms being cut off . Its behaviour was noticeable . Yoo Eun-hye felt some hope after seeing its status .
‘Again!’
She raised the sword up high . She lacked the strength to pierce through the thick leather . That’s why she used a strike with all her power .
Bam! Bam!
The sound of the sword hitting flesh could be heard with every swing . Soon the cries of the kobold stopped and it became silent . thjanrkjeadnsmnda
“Haack . Haack… . !”
Teong!
Yoo Eun-hye threw the sword to the ground . She sat on the floor and breathed harshly . She only fought for 2~3 minutes but sweat was pouring down .
The body of the kobold was completely unrecognizable .
“Well done . ”
I smiled with satisfaction . I knew she had thought of giving up when the kobold blocked the second attack to the neck . Because I didn’t tell her what to do if it was blocked .
But Yoo Eun-hye overcame the crisis by herself . The wall had cracked . That’s why I was satisfied .
I pulled out a handkerchief prepared in advance that Yoo Eun-hye used to wipe off the blood . A potion was also used to heal any wounds . Read at Rainbow Turtle Translations
The passive Electric Current attacked my body but I didn’t care .
Yoo Eun-hye watched her wounds being healed with a blank stare before asking me .
“D-did I do it correctly, Captain-nim?”
“Yes . It was admirable . ”
“Ah… . . !”
At first she hadn’t thought it was possible . But in the end, she did it alone . Yoo Eun-hye’s body trembled as she was inspired .
A great performance in front of the captain . Normally her passive skill put captains off from accepted her as a member . The Cores also needed to be divided after the hunt was over . Now there was no need to do that . She could handle one kobold alone .
Yoo Eun-hye didn’t want to lose this feeling . To Yoo Eun-hye who had lived most of her life with a sense of defeat, this feeling was more precious than anything else .
“If you want then we can stop here today . ” nbvmnafamnfsadjksad
I said . I deemed that this was sufficient for the first day . She followed me pretty well and I was pleased with her performance .
But Yoo Eun-hye shook her head .
“Ah, it’s nothing . I am able to do more . I think I can . ”
“Is it really okay?”
“Yes . ”
“Then don’t lose that willpower . ”
Willpower was very important . A commitment that she wouldn’t stop .
‘Not bad!’
Yoo Eun-hye had been scared in her previous life . She wanted to prevent any danger to her body . Safety-oriented behaviours were soaked into her body .
But now Yoo Eun-hye was different . The blood of the warrior inside her had woken up . She would grow wonderfully in the direction I set . Read at Rainbow Turtle Translations
‘Soon she won’t have to work to control the lightning in her body . ’
I looked at Yoo Eun-hye with shining eyes .
There was a sufficient amount of time .
Now I had to check her willpower .
She came here on a forced march but now it was different .
Lightning Queen!
The name of a magician who handled lightning in her previous life . This time she would be lightning .
