“What on earth happened?”
Shin Su-a who did not hear a detailed explanation asked Jin-su with an expression of half losing her soul.
“That, I will tell you after dealing with those guys first.”
“You must.”
Jin-su drew the Baekcheon Divine Sword and Blood-Sucking Sword and cut off the lives of the monsters that fell into a near-death state. Shin Su-a also summoned the Stone Golem and cleaned up the monsters while swinging the staff like a club.
The hunt ended in an instant.
“Nyaaaa!”
Leo walked toward Jin-su and Shin Su-a with a triumphant gait. The appearance of puffing his chest looked extremely arrogant.
“You did well. You did well.”
Still, what was done well was done well.
“Now explain a bit.”
“Got it.”
Jin-su informed Shin Su-a of the fact that Leo devoured the class change certificate.
“No, it changes like this with one class change certificate? But can summons also change class?”
“I learned it for the first time too.”
Along with that, Leo’s abnormally high skill efficiency was also a large question even for Jin-su.
‘To think he predates the skills and stats possessed by the monsters of Floor 150 by swinging his front paw once.’
It was a thing absolutely impossible to understand with Jin-su’s common sense. On top of that, why the class skill Stat Predation that is unlocked only when the class level hits 100 could be used from the beginning was also a question.
‘Well, let’s think positively.’
The matter of Leo predating the Dark Predator class change certificate cannot be reversed. At least, he had to consider it fortunate that Leo uses the abnormally powerful class skills of the Dark Predator.
‘Regretting cannot reverse what has already passed.’
Jin-su and Shin Su-a continued the hunt.
‘What will rise if the Blessing grows this time?’
The Blessing that grew so far only stopped at the stats rising to level 1322 and the skill level rising to level 922.
‘I hope more Blessing-exclusive skills like skill synthesis or Skill Sharing are created.’
The Blessing-exclusive skills that came out so far were all jackpots.
The status window and classes increased to 2. Skill synthesis allowed obtaining skills of other classes, and Skill Sharing allowed sharing of holy-type and dark-type skills.
‘The most urgent is the class level rise.’
Because the class level is bound at 2, not being able to acquire anything but the basic classes of each class was the greatest frustration.
‘Let’s wait calmly.’
Whatever comes out, it is unconditionally a benefit.
‘Even if the Blessing-exclusive skill I want does not come out, there is nothing to suffer loss from.’
Then instead, the Blessing he already possesses will grow, and that also meant a rise in Jin-su’s power.
‘The summon contract skill is also around the time the cooldown returns, though.’
So far, Jin-su cast the summon contract skill every time the skill cooldown returned. However, he failed the summon contract in succession.
‘The first 2 times were fine, though.’
Leo established revolutionary merit in raising the hunting speed by taking charge of the wide-area provocation roar, and Kkami the scouting.
‘The next 2 times were all failures.’
If it fails this time too, it is 3 consecutive failures.
‘Well, it will go well.’
Even if it continues to fail, there was no great blow. Anyway, the summon contract skill was a byproduct obtained after changing class to a summoner for the buffs of the shadow summons and Dragon Tooth Soldiers.
‘The possessed summons are also many.’
Shadow summons, Dragon Tooth Soldiers, ant colony, Army Summons, Skeleton Knights, dullahan, death wizards.
If it was an ordinary summoner, one failure of the summon contract would act as an enormous risk. Also, the moment Leo and Kkami with no combat ability came out as summons, he would have seriously deliberated whether to discard the summoner class.
However, Jin-su was an exception.
Because he already possessed a summon army to the degree where it was fine to call it a one-man army.
Jin-su and Shin Su-a finished the first day’s hunt within a line of not overdoing it and returned to the lodging. Of course, only Jin-su and Shin Su-a returned.
Jin-su’s summons were immersing themselves in 24-hour hunting without distinguishing day and night.

“Giura died and the Ikeda party was annihilated?”
“Yes, they were in a missing state for a day so we released a search party, and it is said they all died.”
At the report of the subordinate executive, Sasaki, the person in charge of the Minamoto Guild of the starting city, frowned.
“Whose doing is it?”
If another huge guild was involved, it was a matter where a guild war might occur.
“That, they were hit by a newbie who just rose to Floor 150.”
At the subordinate executive’s words, Sasaki frowned.
“Hit by a newbie? By any chance, was it reverse-hit while trying to fleece the newbie?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“If even Giura died, they will know the relation between the Ikeda party and our Minamoto Guild. The rumor?”
“It is still quiet.”
“It is still quiet. Hmm...”
Sasaki closed his two eyes.
Fleecing newbies is something often done. The targets are newbies with no backing who are not affiliated with huge guilds so that there is no aftermath. However, very rarely, this kind of reversal also occurs.
‘If they go around talking everywhere like those guys at that time, it is troublesome.’
A few years ago, an incident similar to this matter occurred. The surviving newbies went around publicly talking that the Minamoto Guild commits PK acts on newbies with no backing.
Naturally, not a small commotion occurred. The guild leader of the unofficial subordinate guild claimed it was the personal deviation of some guild members. He pushed that hanging it on the Minamoto Guild was a lie told by the guild members who committed the deviation to live. And by scattering bribes here and there and applying pressure, it was somehow finished.
‘This time, the problem is larger.’
The guild leader of the unofficial subordinate guild and the executive of the Minamoto Guild also died.
‘Looking at not going around talking immediately, it seems they have more sense than those guys at that time.’
Even so, it was the same as a type of time bomb that does not know when it will explode. Ikeda, the unofficial subordinate guild leader who would claim to be the body, died. Although low-ranking, Giura, the executive of the Minamoto Guild, also died.
It was more dangerous because a similar accident exploded a few years ago.
Of course, those newbies might continue keeping their mouths shut out of fear of collision with the Minamoto Guild.
‘But there is no need to carry such a risk factor.’
It was a problem that could be leaked secretly, not blatantly making a rumor.
‘I will have to deal with them like those guys at that time.’
The guys who went around talking everywhere saying the Minamoto Guild instructed PK were removed without a mouse or bird knowing in the hunting ground after the incident quieted.
“Summon all the party members affiliated with me.”
“Are you going to step forward directly? Even if the skill is excellent, it is a newbie, so is it not an excessive response?”
“For this kind of matter, it is better to do it surely.”
Actually, this problem was a matter that could be easily resolved even if only two or three high-ranking executives were sent. However, the saying that everything is not as good as being sturdy is not there for nothing.
‘The Ikeda party are also guys with fairly excellent skill.’
Especially in Giura’s case, since he was in the executive position in name, he was a considerable skilled person.
Even for a sure finish, it was better to step forward directly.
Also, there was the purpose of obtaining juicy side income.
‘The points the Ikeda party has accumulated so far will not be light.’
That was the same for the executive Giura.
This time, he was thinking of legally supplying points and also buying public sentiment by showing an appearance of taking the initiative and moving his body directly even while in the highest position to the other executives.
“Did you grasp that guy’s location?”
“Yes, he went out to the west gate hunting ground, and Ogawa’s summon is also attached.”
Ogawa is a summoner who summons and controls venomous insects, and although the combat ability is on the low side, the tracking, espionage, and assassination abilities were extremely excellent.
“You did well. Call the party members right away.”
“Yes.”
This kind of matter was good to resolve as quickly as possible. Sasaki was thinking of finishing this matter quickly as soon as the party members gathered.
***
Jin-su and Shin Su-a came out hunting the same as yesterday.
“Nyaaaang!”
At the same time as Leo’s wide-area provocation roar spread, monsters gathered.
Dudududu!
“Krrrr!”
“Kyaung!”
Tak!
Leo ran out first the same as yesterday and threw nyang nyang punches at the monsters.
“Today, it will also be fine if we just do the cleanup.”
“Yeah.”
Jin-su and Shin Su-a only did the cleanup of the monsters that Leo made into a near-death state all day yesterday. But it seemed that was the same today as well.
‘Really, the summons do everything.’
Once Leo’s activity was added to the 24-hour running summon auto-hunt, Jin-su’s work decreased sharply.
“Kaak! Kaak!”
At that time, information about a place where many monsters gathered came from Kkami.
“Kkami has been flying around extremely diligently since yesterday.”
“Yeah.”
Jin-su also agreed with Shin Su-a’s words.
Once Leo started displaying great activity, perhaps she became anxious, even though she was not told to, she diligently flew here and there and conveyed the number and information of monsters to Jin-su.
Thanks to that, the hunting speed became faster.
‘If it goes well, the Blessing might grow within a few days.’
While Jin-su was satisfied with the smooth hunting speed.
Wiiing!
2 flying insects that were going around the surroundings with wing beats that caused noise thrust sharp stingers forward and rushed toward Jin-su and Shin Su-a’s eyes.
Tik!
The stinger of the flying insect that rushed toward Jin-su bounced off just like that on the closed eyelid. Jin-su’s durability stat was too high to pierce with the flying insect’s stinger.
Tik!
The flying insect that rushed at Shin Su-a also could not pierce the protection skill surrounding the body and bounced off.
Whoosh!
Creak!
Jin-su grabbed the 2 with his hands and crushed them just like that.
‘Whose doing is it?’
If only one of Jin-su or Shin Su-a was attacked, he would have passed it off as coincidence. However, the flying insects attacked Jin-su and Shin Su-a at the same time.
“I thought it would go easily.”
“Ogawa’s summon is always like that, what.”
Along with Japanese speech sounds, 10 players took positions as if surrounding Jin-su and Shin Su-a.
“Is it the Minamoto Guild?”
Jin-su asked with a confident tone. Jin-su and Shin Su-a just rose to Floor 150. It is too short a time to incur someone’s grudge.
Those who accumulated grudge were only the unofficial subordinate guild of the Minamoto Guild that launched the ambush on the first day. On top of that, decisively, those guys were using Japanese.
“There is no need to know that.”
Tak!
One among the 10 players rushed toward Jin-su like a bullet.
“Just die.”
Whoosh!
A dagger containing a sharp edge flew aiming for Jin-su’s nape. It was a sharp strike aiming for the gap between the helmet and armor. The movement speed and attack speed were also enormously fast.
However, that was only fast at the Floor 150 level.
Slash!
The Baekcheon Divine Sword that revealed itself outside the scabbard in an instant cut the right arm swinging the dagger.
Puk!
Following that, the Blood-Sucking Sword accurately pierced the heart of the player holding the dagger and greedily absorbed the blood.
“Uwoooek!”
The body of the player whose heart was pierced by the Blood-Sucking Sword dried up like a mummy in an instant and his life was cut off.
“Huh?”
“Endo died!”
“How did he kill Endo so easily?”
Once an unexpected situation occurred, the Minamoto Guild affiliated players who were now reduced to 9 were greatly flustered. However, Jin-su was neither surprised nor flustered.
Tak!
That was why he immediately entered a counterattack.
Shuk!
However, at that time, one black fur ball easily overtook Jin-su and rushed at the Minamoto Guild affiliated players.
‘Leo?’
The one who overtook Jin-su and advanced first was precisely Leo.
‘Those guys are faster and stronger than monsters.’
Even the intelligence was higher.
The moment Jin-su tried to stop Leo.
Puk! Pukpukpuk!
Leo’s front paws were swung at lightning-like speed.
Thud! Thud!
And the remaining 9 Minamoto Guild affiliated players rolled on the floor with their two eyes rolled back and foaming at the mouth.
