Return of the Archmage

Chapter 8

Han Seo-young and Han Tae-sung are relatives of the same age.

Unlike Han Seo-young's family, which runs parties and maintains a livelihood, Han Tae-sung's house, which runs large businesses against users, has much more money.

That's why Han Tae-sung, the only son, was able to raise his level quickly.

Above all, he is a main-class tanker belonging to a famous guild.

Considering that the ability of a tanker is determined above all by the quality of the equipment, one can infer the size of the business.

Then Han Seo-young called him.

"You've got one more thing left to pay off, haven't you?"

One more time, right?

"I need to pay it back tomorrow. Do you have time?"

Oh, I have an appointment tomorrow.

"Empty it if it's not a crack. It's urgent.”

Okay, I'll pay you back the promised debt for free physical potions. What's up?

Hold your breath and look at the ceiling.

Physical potion that I picked up by chance a year ago.

Although she could sell it for more than 100 million won, Han Seo-young decided to invest in relatives who had a future instead of money, and Han Tae-sung readily accepted it.

And three times promised help.

I wrote it twice and it's the last one.

I can't ask for help or ask for money, but I'm wondering if it's right to use Han Tae-sung, who grew from a tanker that barely entered a level 2 crack in just a year to a tanker that easily tanks from level 3.

But it wasn't long.

This is the last confirmation.

Although the decision has been made, there needs to be an opportunity to blow away the lingering doubts and worries.

Instead, Lee did not stop Lee Hye-sung, who said he would enter the second-level crack, but took out the last card.

If you acknowledge Lee Hyesung, it will help to shorten time by going around level 2 rather than level 1 crack.

Of course, her decision is not the only one.

"I'm going to level two crack tomorrow. Please tank me.”

"Ajeossi's party? There's a tanker. Why? Is something wrong?”

"No, not my dad. Go with Hyesung."

"What? You two go in? You want me to be a tanker? Are you crazy?"

No matter how much you're supposed to grant me, if you want to die with me, I won't grant it to anyone with a decent mind.

Verbal refinement was needed.

"Crazy. How do you two get a level two crack? I told you. Hyesung woke up after the accident, but he's a little different. I don't think it's a bad thing, but I thought I'd remember it later in an environment similar to a crack in an accident. I've got a 28-level healer, and you're not going to be a crack radar, but the monsters aren't going to kill me."

"That's true. But isn't it a little dangerous? I'll talk to him, and I'll tell him.….”

"How can I bring a party into this?"

"Well, still, it's a little...….”

"Why? Are you scared?"

We can't leave out a moderate stimulus.

Smiling and asking secretly stimulates the man's desire to win.

Especially if you are Han Tae-sung, who is expected to grow up to become a famous tanker of the guild.

"What are you talking about? I've never died in a level 2 crack even if I've been surrounded by ten.”

"But why are you so scared? It's not like the three of us are going after each other. We're just going around for a while."

"Do it, do it!"

Han Seo-young is pretty even though she is a relative.

The words and eyes of a beautiful woman in the world stimulate every man's instincts.

I don't care about sexual feelings.

It's more so because they're related.

We have been together since we were young and want to be recognized.

That's how it came in.

Han Taesung.

Without knowing anything.

"What, but why is he holding a sword? What about the armor? I'm going to tank it anyway."

"Oh, you never know. All right, let's get in there."

I really didn't know.

It was a great illusion that he was so happy that he would finish his debt so easily, thinking it was like a picnic and accepting his last wish for free.

***

The difference between a level 1 crack and a level 2 crack is the sky and the ground.

The difference will increase as the level of the crack increases, but the biggest increase in difficulty that users feel is from level 1 to level 2.

There is only one reason.

Monsters are starting to think.

Monsters become smarter as crack levels rise.

They become clever and use skills that they thought were privileges of users.

Humans even use them in creative ways that they have never thought of.

He gives up his subordinates generously, kills humans, and freely utilizes his natural physical ability.

The starting point is level 2 crack.

How embarrassing must it be for monsters who threw themselves according to their instincts without thinking and started to think and poke their vital points.

I can't get used to it.

So user death rate at level 2 crack is the highest.

In such a crack, Lee Hye-sung ran out as soon as he entered.

First, he swung a sword at three visible orcs.

"Hey! What are you doing?"

Even before a frightened Han Tae-sung shouts, the sword cuts off the oak neck and breaks it in two.

Han Seo-young also didn't think she would run this recklessly.

She really knew how to use it as a black self-defense.

Because the magic impact I've already seen was too strong.

But now there's no sign of magic anywhere.

He is a dealer with a sword that looks perfect on the outside.

"Crazy! What's wrong with him?"

"I don't know."

I'm embarrassed, but anyway, they've spent years in a rift.

Despite a brief hesitation, the body was already preparing for battle.

Take out a shield bigger than your body and Han Seo-young prepares for the heel.

If a one-man tutorial user with physical strength, strength, and agility gets hit wrong by an orc living in a level 2 crack, he's a heel and he has to do what he can even though he's likely to go to the hell in one room.

“…….”

But the preparation behind the brief hesitation was meaningless.

Han Tae-sung, who was taking out the shield and running three steps, stopped.

"……what is it?"

Lee Hye-sung's black hair was faster than Han Tae-sung's hesitation.

He stabbed one sword in the heart of another orc without wasting its movement, pulled out the chopsticks stuck in the tofu as if they were being pulled out, and finished the battle by putting them between the eyes of the last orc.

"I told you, I do some swordsmanship."

Lee Hye-sung laughed as he shook off the blood on the sword.

Boom-

Han Tae-sung's shield fell on the floor.

***

Oak usually lives in level 2 cracks, but is often seen in level 3 cracks.

So I often saw Han Tae-sung.

The number of attacks blocked the most with shields is also large enough to be considered okra.

Therefore, as other users do, they know well about orcs.

"That's not the Oak I'm going to die for.….”

Orc is stupid.

Compared to other intelligent monsters, they tend to stick to their instincts.

That's why it's scarier.

For users.

An ignorant body stats that don't fit.

Tough leather.

A daredevil instinct.

There's nothing more frightening than a nut to kill an enemy if you throw your life away.

As soon as I realized that my sword, which I thrust into the vital spot, didn't go into the vital spot properly because of the leather, I had to be beaten back and leave the world.

Although it is a level 2 monster that comes from a level 3 crack, users do not let their guard down.

In particular, it is more difficult to fight at least three of them.

A party that hunts three-level cracks easily takes more than 10 minutes when it meets orcs.

But it ended in 10 seconds.

No, I don't know if it took 10 seconds.

What are you doing while watching Lee Hye-sung jump out for a second? I saw him wielding a sword for about two seconds. I saw his neck fall down, and I took out the shield asking what crazy thing it was.

In less than five seconds, everything was over.

Unprotected, a bare-footed iron sword ended the lives of three orcs like water.

"Is that a walking pig, not an orc?"

“…….”

To prevent too much confusion, Han Seo-young had no choice but to tell the truth.

Of course Han Tae-sung didn't believe it.

"You said you were a wizard."

"I know."

Han Seo-young shrugged her shoulders because she couldn't believe it.

Meanwhile, Lee was running out and hunting monsters.

Just like before.

Just by swordsmanship.

Run and avoid the monster's attack and stab the sword into the vital spot.

That was the whole battle.

"So easy."

"I know."

The viewing user has a sage time.

Actually, I can't help but believe it.

I just don't want to believe it.

What I've been struggling with for years to crack.

You just have to avoid it and poke it like that easily.

It's more despondent to know that it's not as easy as it sounds.

"Since when have you been like that?"

"Yesterday, no, the day before yesterday."

"That's why you decided to hang out with him?"

"Looking at it today, I can be sure. I don't know what it is, but it's definitely different. I'm sure it'll climb higher.”

"Can I join you?"

"Are you confident you'll give up everything and come? I don't know if there'sir.

Han Seo-young as well, but Han Tae-sung achieved more.

It may be nothing compared to the top rankers, but if this continues, it will grow so fast that even the rankers can stare at it.

I thought the current top rankers were not as fast as he had been at his level.

Pot-!

"Oh! The level has gone up. Level 2 crack is good."

“…….”

But seeing that makes me shake.

I feel like I'm going to catch up.

No, I don't even think it's a problem to be caught up.

What will happen in a year?”

The term "saksu" is not a reason.

The promising rice cake is seen from the beginning.

This guy's gonna make it.

There are buds that can only be seen when you have a keen eye, but on the contrary, they are so big that anyone can see them.

That's the case with Lee Hye-sung.

A year's worth of cracked rice will tell everyone.

At that level up speed.

If you have that much sense.

With that kind of ability.

"Hyesung! Do you have a seat at your party?"

"9:1. If you're confident you can share it with Seoyoung, come."

“…….”

I think I can be a ranker.

Han Tae-sung saw Han Seo-young.

With desperate eyes.

pure aspiration

Han Seo-young's eyes that she had until last night.

Han Seo-young nodded.

"If you're confident you'll give up everything, come. You might regret it. I said I wouldn't. Well, since you're going to eat cracked rice, you've only got one life, right? He's young, too. I want to believe it's a good choice."

"I'll look at it today and answer it by tomorrow."

"But I can't do half of it. 9:1. This is the rule.”

"…Comet has that personality. Don't I look like you?"

"I learned it from you."

Lee Hye-sung shouted at Han Seo-young, who comforted her junior who was suffering from fresh culture shock.

"Hey! Ten! Throw three cores!"

"Did you hear that? Throw it to me."

"What……."

"This one."

"Why this?"

"Throw it and you'll know."

3 level 2 cores from hunting, whether taken out of a backpack.
