“Han Yi-gyeol!”

Before Park Geon-ho, who was surprised, ran to, Woo Seo-hyuk tore the tentacles that were holding me. Then, five or six tentacles appeared anew in the darkness this time.

“Damn!”

The tentacles, which failed to drag me, snatched the body of the shield ability person. Woo Seo-hyuk hurriedly leaned forward and called me.

“Han Yi-gyeol-ssi!”

I knew what he wanted without saying anything. When the wind wrapped around Woo Seo-hyuk and increased the movement speed, Woo Seo-hyuk grabbed the shield ability man who was being dragged and tore off the tentacles.

“Come to the back, all three of you!”

At Park Geon-ho’s cry, Woo Seo-hyuk, who rescued the shield ability man, was pulled with his ability. At the same time, Park Geon-ho threw three iron balls at the monster.

Kuuung!

The explosion flashed, revealing the monster that was hiding in the darkness. Several monsters with tentacles that were fluttering like sea anemones were engulfed in flames. After that, a group of drum-beating kobolds opened their mouth wide and let out an incomprehensible cry.

Kagak, Kagakak! Kyaak!

The spider monsters, which had stopped and did not move, flocked again at the sound. Park Geon-ho and the long-distance team continued to check the monsters, and we backed off.

“Crazy, where did that monster suddenly come from?”

“Does it look like it has a high grade?”

The guild members ran away and grumbled. As we continued to move forward to avoid the monsters that were chasing us, we noticed a large room at the end of the hallway.

Kiaaak! Kyaak!

Monsters were coming from behind at high speed. Still, for some reason, I felt reluctant to enter the room.

‘Is it just me?’

Park Geon-ho and Woo Seo-hyuk looked back and seemed to feel nothing. There was no time to worry about the situation we were being chased, so I finally followed the team members into the room.

“Is there anything to stop it?”

“Get the exit first!”

“Team Leader!”

One of the close team members, who first entered the room and looked inside, pointed to the innermost part of the room and said.

“There is a door that looks like an exit, but it doesn’t open. I think we will be able to get out of this place only if we find a hidden device.”

“Great. I’ll block the monsters, so let the non-combat personnel get out as far back as possible to find the device.”

“Yes!”

I looked around, feeling nervous among the guild members moving in perfect order.

Something felt strange. The empty room we were alone in felt more dangerous than the hallway full of monsters. Kim Woo-jin approached me, who was standing still.

“Han Yi-gyeol, what’s wrong?”

“No…”

I hesitated and shook my head. Even if you are anxious in this situation, there is nothing you can do. Opening the exit door and escaping as quickly as possible…

Looking at the ceiling involuntarily, I felt my heart froze for a moment then quickly beating.

“Han Yi-gyeol?”

Two huge eyes looking down at us. Suuup, I heard the sound of breathing in. I shouted like a scream.

“Everyone, run away—”

Kkiiiiik!

Before I could even finish my words, a terrifying and bizarre sound pierced my ears and filled the room.

“Aaargh!”

“Keuaaargh!”

The guild members, who were preparing for the upcoming monster. grabbed their heads and screamed. Kim Woo-jin’s body, which was standing next to me, collapsed to the floor.

“No!”

Red blood flowed from both ears of Kim Woo-jin, who was quickly caught.

“Wake up, Kim Woo-jin!”

A chilling fear ran down my spine. As I instinctively looked up, something flew open beneath the gigantic eyes that looked at me, creating a black light like a crescent moon. It was the mouth of a monster that smiled while watching us in pain.

I took the fainted Kim Woo-jin into my arms and my face distorted. What should I do? What should I…

“Yi-gyeol-ssi.”

With a soft voice, someone firmly grabbed my shoulder. It was Min Ah-rin.

“Calm down.”

With her rarely stiff face, she quickly glanced at Kim Woo-jin.

“He hurts, but this is enough to heal. He just passed out because he was overpowered by the monster energy.”

“Ah…”

“But things are not going well. You know that, right?”

“Monsters have arrived!”

Thud! Thud!

The guild member who was waiting in the hallway shouted. The sound of drums rang through the room.

“The healer team will take care of the injured. So, don’t worry, just deal with the monsters.”

“…all right.”

My heart was beating fast because of anxiety, but Min Ah-rin’s words helped me come to my senses. I handed over Kim Woo-jin to Min Ah-rin and told Park Geon-ho and Woo Seo-hyuk.

“Team Leader. Can you give me just one close team?”

“The reason is?”

Park Geon-ho, who was staring at the giant monster with a serious expression, gave a puzzled look.

“Monster hanging on the ceiling and monsters coming into the hallway. We can handle both. If my ability supports.”

“You need someone to protect you.”

“Yes. Team Leader please takes charge of the hallway and Woo Seo-hyuk-ssi will take charge here. I will assist you in your ability.”

I had to watch two people at the same time, and in the case of Park Geon-ho, I needed more delicate control because he handled iron balls. I needed someone to watch over me constantly and protect me who used my ability.

Park Geon-ho, who understood my explanation, beckoned to the person who was guarding the non-combat team. It was Shim Soo-yeon, a person with the ability to handle lightning-flowing spears.

“We’d better do as you say. Shim Soo-yeon is taking good care of you. Secretary Woo Seo-hyuk.”

Woo Seo-hyuk nodded his head and raised his ability. Not only his arms, but his whole body began to swell and turn black. His clothes were torn, unable to withstand the changes in his body, and his fine hair rose in the meantime.

Kuung!

After finishing his transformation, Woo Seo-hyuk slammed his huge front paws on the floor and waved his tail. Golden eyes flashed.

“Please take care of me, Shim Soo-yeon-ssi.”

As the wind wrapped Woo Seo-hyuk and Park Geon-ho’s bodies around and talked, Shim Soo-yeon smiled and swung the spear once.

“Don’t worry. I will protect you.”

“Let’s start when you’re ready.”

Everyone stood by Park Geon-ho, except for a few who were guarding the non-combat team. Park Geon-ho threw several iron balls into the air. I floated all the iron balls in the air and waited for the monsters to enter the room.

In the meantime, Woo Seo-hyuk, who had no restrictions on his movements, flew his body towards the monster attached to the ceiling. Woo Seo-hyuk, who grabbed the nape of its neck at once, dragged the monster to the floor.

Hihik, hihihik!

The monster was a humanoid with melted skin. Abnormally large eyes, a torn mouth, and only the upper body floating in the air as if the lower body had been cut off. With a giggled laughter, the monster swung its bizarrely long arms. Woo Seo-hyuk lightly avoided the attack.

Obviously, when my ability was added, it seemed much more comfortable against monsters in the air. I was relieved and turned my gaze to Park Geon-ho. From spider monsters chasing us to tentacles and kobolds with drums. Park Geon-ho beckoned to the rushing monsters.

I knew his fighting style from experience. It was advantageous to leave the monsters at the forefront to the close team and killed the tentacles with the long attack distance. Fifteen iron balls that were floating in the air were thrown at the tentacle monster all at once.

Park Geon-ho, who was concentrating on the iron ball just like me, activated his ability at the right time. Kwaaang! The ground shook and black tentacles exploded into bombs. At the same time, the close team started fighting against the spider monsters.

“Huu…”

The energy flew out like water to where Woo Seo-hyuk, who was engaged in a fierce battle with monster in the air, and Park Geon-ho, who controlled all the iron balls. Uung, the bracelet trembled and the jewel shone.

A huge monster that was injured here and there by Woo Seo-hyuk’s attack opened its mouth. The jaws descended endlessly and the elongated mouth was filled with thorn-like black teeth.

Haaaak!

“Aargh, what!”

“Ugh!”

As the giant monster made an inexplicable cry, my eyes distorted and my body staggered. S-ranks Woo Seo-hyuk and Park Geon-ho also shook their heads and stumbled while rubbing their foreheads.

Each of the guild members screamed and hurriedly backed away. Shim Soo-yeon, who was killing the spider monster that rushed at me, also stumbled.

“Gasp!”

The person with the ability to measure, who was drooping and exhaling hard, opened his eyes and raised his upper body.

“Te, Team Leader! Grade energy…!”

“Ugh!”

“The state of the monster!”

Kiiiiik! Kiiik!

The monsters, which were fighting the close team, suddenly overturned their stomachs and struggled painfully. Park Geon-ho, who frowned, asked the person with the ability to measure.

“What is going on?”

“Ugh, the monster in the centre is absorbing the energy of other monsters…!”

The person with the ability to measure answered with difficulty, nauseating as if he was dizzy. The spider monster, which had not been attacked by B-rank guild members until recently, died helplessly. It was proof that the grade that used to be grade A had fallen below grade B.

Only then did we realize the cause of the anomaly from the first floor. The giant monster that absorbed the energy of other monsters grew bigger and the wounds disappeared.

“A monster that absorbs the energy of other monsters…”

“It was a crime from the first floor to the third floor. Is there no limit to the scope?”

“My stomach hurts…”

Since the monster absorbed the energy, all the talented people in the room felt dizzy. Among them, the most sensitive person was the measuring ability that could not hold it any longer and passed out.

“Haa, Woo Seo-hyuk-ssi. Can you stand it?”

When I asked with difficulty grabbing my chest as I felt headache and nausea, Woo Seo-hyuk also opened his mouth and let out a rough breath and nodded his head.

Even if the level of the monster was lowered, it took a long time to process it because the number was so large. Until then, Woo Seo-hyuk had to deal with the bigger monster alone.

‘We need to handle the situation on Park Geon-ho’s side as soon as possible.’

Woo Seo-hyuk, who caught his breath while waving his tail wildly, jumped up and rushed at the monster again. Hihihihik! As the ability was absorbed, its grade level went up, and the energy felt from the monster became stronger.

I endured the nausea inside and let the wind flow to Park Geon-ho again. Park Geon-ho, who lifted his iron balls back into the air to match, also increased his speed to deal with the monsters.

“Han Yi-gyeol!”

When the number of monsters gathered fell below half, Park Geon-ho, who had entrusted the finishing touches to the guild members, rushed over. Shim Soo-yeon, who had been protecting me like a baton, moved to the battlefield at the command of Park Geon-ho.

“Please support me.”

Park Geon-ho, who came closer to my place, grabbed my waist and arms and lifted us up. I looked at the giant monster facing Woo Seo-hyuk while floating my body and Park Geon-ho in the air at the same time.

There was not much energy left. I had to come to a conclusion slowly.

Full beast!Seo-hyuk finally appeared!!(つ✧ω✧)つ

Also that scene when Yi-gyeol looked up to the ceiling… so eerie… (;ŏ﹏ŏ)

Fighting you all! Hold on, Woo-jin!!
