Chapter 149
Housekeeper in the Dungeon Episode 149
“It’s a humanoid monster.”
Jinhyeon Kang whispered softly.
“I need to identify the monster first, so I’ll come back.”
He jumped out in an instant and exploded the monster, killing it.
“Ugh, Mom…”
The child cried at the cruel sight.
“Shh. “You can’t make a sound.”
The parents hugged the child tightly.
“First of all, this is the only one nearby.”
Kang Jin-hyeon returned after quickly defeating a few monsters.
He even had a very refreshing look for someone who had just exploded and killed a monster.
“Vulnerable to darkness and sensitive to sound.”
He gained a lot of information from the short battle.
“I don’t think it would be too dangerous, at least in the dark of night. “It seemed like it couldn’t recognize the other person if it didn’t make a sound even if it got close.”
Heena asked again after hearing the short briefing.
“So that means that zombie…monster isn’t that dangerous as long as you pass by quietly?”
“I guess so. Instead, it seems to react sensitively to light stimulation. “I think it would be better not to use the lantern as it has been.”
“Ugh. “If I had made a mistake when I turned on the lantern earlier, I would have been in real trouble.”
Heewon belatedly sighed.
It was then.
“and.”
Kang Jin-hyeon pointed to a certain place.
“I can see a blurry light over there. “I can also hear people’s voices.”
“You see the light? “Oh, I see.”
Heena narrowed her eyes and looked at the place where Jinhyeon Kang had gestured. Then, it seemed like something was faintly twinkling in the distance.
There was a very high possibility that they were a couple at the campsite.
“I can hear your voice, so I guess you’re still okay. thank god.”
…As we talked up to this point, Heena was startled by a thought that suddenly occurred to her.
“But aren’t light and human voices dangerous?”
According to Kang Jin-hyeon earlier, didn’t he say that zombie-type monsters seem to be sensitive to light and sound?
It was the perfect condition for the surrounding monsters to flock.
When I thought about it, the monster that Kang Jin-hyeon had just dealt with was also slowly walking towards somewhere.
‘What if you were drawn to the voices and lights of the two people?’
Goosebumps appeared on my back.
“…I guess I should go quickly.”
Kang Jin-hyeon also seemed to have sensed the seriousness of the situation and was about to leave the ground, but stopped when he saw a group of children.
“First, I will sprinkle magic stone powder of welcome around. A powder used to disrupt the perception of monsters. “If you stay in here quietly, no monsters will attack you for at least six hours.”
“Jinhyun, then we will unpack here. “The terrain is flat and doesn’t look bad for camping.”
Heewon suggested camping here. This is because the children looked very tired.
Kang Jin-hyeon also agreed with Hee-won’s opinion.
“yes. “Then please, Heewon.”
“I’ll take care of cleaning up here, so come quickly.”
The conversation between the two took place quickly.
“…I.”
Heena noticed and grabbed the hem of Kang Jin-hyeon’s clothes.
“Jinhyeon, I’m taking you with me.”
“…It’s dangerous.”
“There are a lot of zombies gathering there. “If the situation is truly urgent, it may be better for me to sweep it away with my cleaning skills rather than for Jinhyun to use his strength.”
“that.”
The logic was quite plausible. Conflict flashed across Jinhyeon Kang’s face.
Heena added quickly.
“If you’re worried that I’m in danger, Jinhyeon can protect me, right? “As usual.”
“Do you mean…?”
Kang Jin-hyeon covered his mouth with his hand. This is because the clown is red.
In the end, he nodded slowly.
“…All right. It may be a situation where the number of pages is more of an issue than the grade, so it would be better for Heena to go along, just in case. “Put it on your back.”
“yes!”
Hee-na clung to Kang Jin-hyeon’s broad back.
I was quite used to carrying him on my back now.
“I’m leaving.”
With Kang Jin-hyeon’s soft voice, the surrounding scenery began to change quickly.
After running like that for a few minutes, I really started to hear human voices.
“Shit! OK! “We’ll see whether you die or I die!”
…It was a bit different and radical than I thought, but it was a human voice anyway.
Kang Jin-hyeon walked closer to the sound, and soon Hee-na saw a very impressive sight.
Whoops!
The monster was hit by a fist and bounced away.
Dog love!
Another monster fell backwards with a loud scream from the successive steps.
‘What is this situation?’
Heena watched the situation with her eyes wide open.
“hey! Come on! “Go for it!”
A scraggly woman was shaking her fist with murderous eyes.
And every time she swung her fist, dozens of monsters fell like dominoes.
No, it might be more accurate to say that they are swept away like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.
Because the monster had a human shape, at first glance, it was a scene that looked like a one-on-one gang fight.
Heena carefully whispered in Jinhyeon Kang’s ear.
“I guess that person is also an awakened person…”
In fact, in a situation where he was an awakened person even from the nostrils rather than the eye sockets, Kang Jin-hyeon answered plainly instead of pointing out that fact.
“yes. It seems so. The situation is also quite escalating. “I don’t think it’s the worst.”
While Hee-na and Jin-hyeon Kang were having a short conversation, the woman began to slowly move back.
This is because it was not enough to stop the increasing number of monsters.
But the woman did not give up and continued to move her arms and legs.
“evil! I will never lose! “I will save myself!”
Because there was a lover behind her back.
Her lover faints after being startled by the sudden appearance of a monster…. Her
one and only love, who pretends to be a brave person but is actually very weak-hearted…
‘Get out of here! ‘I ended up insisting that you marry me because you saved my life!’
It was time for the woman to grit her teeth and come to her senses again.
A pitch-black shadow flew and landed next to her.
“What is it?”
The woman was so shocked that she instinctively clenched her fist. However, the opponent easily avoided her attack.
“Not the enemy. “I’m here to help.”
“yes! “I’m here to help!”
A handsome man with a familiar look and a woman riding on his back.
The woman looked at the two with wary eyes.
‘What are these people doing?’
First of all, I would receive help, but the situation seemed very unusual.
After all, it was rare for people to be so calm in the face of dozens or hundreds of monsters.
‘Are you a battle partner?’
Whether or not the woman resolved the question about the two’s identities, Kang Jin-hyeon put Hee-na down and quickly explained the battle theory.
“Mr. Heena, the monster appears to be moving quickly, but if you look closely, the pattern is simple.”
This is because I thought it would be good to increase my combat experience a little and learn how to deal with crisis situations.
Heena understood his intentions well and listened to Kang Jin-hyeon’s words.
“Aha… The moment the movement gets bigger, find an empty spot and hit it?”
“yes. Since the monster is in human form, you will be able to get a feel for which part of the attack will be fatal.”
“Are you talking about places like the head, solar plexus, or crotch?”
“yes. you’re right. “Aim from that area.”
The woman tilted her head as she watched them quietly chatting.
‘One party is learning unilaterally… Then they are not partners. ‘Are you a combat team gunner and assistant gunner?’
That said, the gaze the gunner was looking at the second gunner seemed very impure.
‘No matter how you look at it, selfishness is mixed in.’
“…They won’t be able to even touch Heena’s body, so you can attack them to your heart’s content.”
The line was also strangely meaningful.
Finally, the woman defined the relationship between the two.
‘They’re a couple.’
This is because the emotions contained in the man’s voice seemed no different from my own desire to protect my lover behind my back.
‘It’s a good time.’
She was amazed, even forgetting the urgent situation for a moment.
Perhaps because of that, a corner of the woman’s vision suddenly became blank.
Kaaaaeak!
The monster rushed at me without missing a short gap.
The woman realized this a beat later and bit her lower lip.
‘Ah, you’re screwed!’
My eyes were not closed. Closing your eyes tightly during battle was the same as shouting, ‘Take my life!’
It was time to prepare for the pain to come.
Burbubbuk! pop!
A jet of black energy erupted and exploded the head of the attacking monster.
“You must never lose sight of yourself during battle. “That’s how they get attacked.”
“yes yes!”
“Especially beginners like Heena, you must never let your guard down. Go into battle thinking that your life is more important than the lives of others.”
“yes yes!”
The two people, presumed to be a couple, exchanged words as if they were a coach and a player.
‘What is that guy?’
The woman opened her eyes wide and looked at the black energy extending from Kang Jin-hyeon’s fingertips.
It struck down approaching monsters as stealthily as a snake, but as mercilessly as a whip.
The attack range itself was not wide, but its power was enormous.
‘The male side is a hunter who is at least level A. I guess I can leave for a moment.’
After making her judgment, the woman quickly took a step back. This was because it was clear that wasting more stamina would cause fatigue and become a burden.
The best course of action was to restore his strength by trusting in the abilities of the two men and women who came to help him.
Kiiii!
Oh, okay.
At the same time, the space that the woman had been blocking became empty and monsters rushed in as if an embankment had exploded.
Just in time, Kang Jin-hyeon’s combat lecture ended.
“I’ll be watching closely, so Heena, you can take on the monsters one by one.”
“all right!”
Heena held onto a rolled-up newspaper and made a determined expression.
The monsters that looked like rotting corpses were truly disgusting, but I couldn’t back out of the battle for that reason.
‘I’m going to have to endure in this dungeon for a while, but I can’t just stamp my feet behind Jinhyeon’s back!’
I didn’t want to put any more burden on Kang Jin-hyeon, who already had heavy shoulders.
‘Let’s start with the familiar back first!’
I was glad that the monster looked like a zombie or a human.
Hee-na moved her arms sharply, taking advantage of her experience swinging a newspaper at her obnoxious older brother.
