- Volume 4 Episode 3

He hurried his pace and encouraged his crew.

"Hurry up! They're all here! Now I'm alive!"

The crew looked puzzled.

They still have a long way to go before they reach their intended save point.

Rather, it was a situation where it was thought that he had lost his way forever because he strayed from the designated road and wandered without knowing where.

But have you all come?

I don't understand the words that say that I'm alive now.

But Jung Daesik didn't care and went ahead.

The crew forcibly followed the sprinting steps.

Then he looked at Jung Daesik, his eyes clouded with hope and anxiety.

darkness everywhere.

The sky was dark, and it was hard to tell where the earth came from.

There was nothing to see as tall grasses spread endlessly around.

Still, Jung Daesik, as if seeing something, relentlessly walked forward through the grass.

He even flashed his hand and shouted.

"Hey! Hey!"

Seeing this, the crew was terrified.

If you made such a loud noise, all the monsters from all directions could have gathered.

Still, Jung Daesik jumped in place and raised his voice.

"Here, here!"

He hurriedly pulled out a glow stick from his arms.

As he lifted it up and shook it, an unbelievable scene unfolded before his eyes.

Another glow-in-the-dark bar suddenly appeared from a very close distance.

Soon, people appeared through the bushes.

It was the rescue team they couldn't help but wait for.

"Oh my gosh!"

It was none other than Peter Chang who ran at the forefront.

Seeing him, the crew relaxed and sat down or groaned with joy.

"It's Peter Chang...!"

"I'm alive...!"

"It's a rescue team!"

Peter Jean came closer and spoke to him, his eyes wide open.

"How did this happen? Why are you coming from there?"

Jung Daesik opened his mouth to replace Kim Si-on, who did not have the energy to answer.

"I walked out of bounds while avoiding the monsters. That's why I'm coming from a direction that isn't a set path."

Peter Chang let out a sigh.

"Somehow... I thought I couldn't find it no matter how much I looked for. In the end, it was getting dark and I was about to evacuate. Monsters were everywhere, so I thought it would be impossible for the rescue team to move alone. Did you find it?"

Peter Chang said that if Jung Daesik hadn't shouted, he would have passed without knowing.

The rescue team was moving while killing as much as possible to avoid monsters.

It was the same with Jung Daesik and the rest of the crew.

If we made a mistake, we could have avoided each other by leaving each other close by.

However, Jung Daesik was not only looking for monsters with an extension of his attention, he was also looking for a rescue team.

When Shin Chae-woon went to call them, he thought they would be nearby.

That cannot be explained individually, and there were injuries that needed immediate treatment, so Jung Daesik shortened his words.

"Let's call it a fluke. Do you have any healing potions? There are two wounded people. The rest of the crew have exhausted all their magic."

"Of course. Come this way."

They took cover in the grass and treated the wounded.

Yumi Hwang drank her magic recovery potion and put her heels on Taehoon Yoo.

Tae-Hoon Yoo and Si-On Kim drank an additional healing potion.

The rest also drank the magic recovery potion.

Jung Daesik used Awakening on Sogangdu as soon as he gained magical power.

He was deeply asleep because he could not overcome the aftereffects of the 5th stage transformation, but he woke up immediately after using the awakening skill.

"Aww!"

Doo, who woke up screaming as if he had had a nightmare, looked around him with bewildered eyes.

"What, what? What happened? I'm definitely with the Wyvern......"

It didn't look like the memory was completely blown away by the 5th stage transformation.

Sogangdu's face turned into a pale, bloody face.

And he said with bewildered eyes.

"With the 5th stage transformation... I lost my mind... How did I survive?"

Seeing him muttering, Mirae Heo explained the situation.

" Jung Daesik came to rescue you. He has carried you all the way here."

"uh......?"

So Gang-doo looked at Jung Daesik from afar, and then showed a very sympathetic look.

He said as he bowed his head and scratched the back of his head.

"I don't want to see your face. For me, on the other hand... I was trying to make up for my mistake..."

Looking at him with a gloomy expression on his face, there was nothing else to say.

It is true that the operation was distorted due to his mistake, and the reason that the situation became difficult was because he lost his reason due to an unreasonable transformation.

However, he did not want to point out such a right or wrong in a situation where he almost died and all survived.

Jung Daesik shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Well, there must have been no help. Anyway, everyone was safe, so it's okay."

"...I'm sorry. And thank you for saving me. I will definitely repay this favor."

"It's not necessary. What kind of grace is it with the same crew. I just want you to be a little more careful about that transformation next time."

Kim Si-on appeared in the back of Jung Daesik, who answered in a sullen manner.

Jung Daesik had no intention of reprimanding him, but the deputy commander, Kim Si-on, had a different idea.

She looked at her lullaby with a cold expression and said.

"You know better than anyone about the mistakes you made today, right?"

"I'm sorry. There is no excuse. It's absolutely my fault."

"Be prepared, there will be punishment."

"of course."

After treating the wounded, the crew hurried back to the save point.

However, Jung Daesik stopped Peter Jang from leaving.

"Wait! You can't leave now. Wait a minute."

"Wait? Why?"

"A monster is coming from 12 o'clock right now. You'd better hide here until it passes."

Peter Jean frowned and tried to say something.

Then Kim Si-on came forward and stopped him.

"It would be nice to hear from him. Jung Daesik's abilities have allowed us to get out of here, avoiding the monsters."

Peter Jang accepted Jung Daesik's recommendation from Kim Si-on.

The crew bowed in the bushes and waited.

And soon, the monster Jung Daesik spoke of appeared.

Whew oh oh oh----!!

It was the Wyvern that flew with a strong wind noise.

He was unusually large for a Wyvern.

Coloring the dark sky even more black, the Wyvern flew over their heads.

Because the Wyvern was flying low, the bushes shook, and the crew bowed in panic for fear of being exposed.

If the Wyverns had snowed even for a moment, they would have been able to see them lying on the floor.

But the Wyvern passed them by without noticing anything.

Seeing the Wyvern moving far away behind his back, Peter Chang said, wiping away the goosebumps that had risen.

"...if it had been on the move, it would have been really bad."

The Wyvern was flying low, so if it had been moving across the bushes, it would have been noticed at once.

No matter how much he joined the rescue team, it would not have been easy to deal with a wyvern of that size.

Peter Chang, relieved, soon turned his attention to Jung Daesik.

And he said in a serious tone.

"Hey, how long are you going to be in the Titan raid?"Then, Kim Si-on openly showed his temper.

"Peter Jean!"

At Kim Si-on's nervous reaction, Peter Jang burst into laughter.

Still, he did not give up until the very end and left a void.

"The story goes on and on, and first we move to the save point. Until then, Jung Daesik, you have to take the lead."

Peter Chang recognized his abilities and made him walk without hesitation.

As before, Jung Daesik used his attention-expanding skill to guide them forward in a direction free of monsters.

* * *

The crew sighed at the save points built by the rest of the hunting group.

After taking a short break there, we decided to go to base camp where Team 3 and the support team were waiting.

Then Jeongyeon Lee from the investigation team came forward and said:

"Wait, then how's the exploration going? Kim Si-on, I was only trusting your promise, didn't the plan go awry?"

Kim Si-on said with an expression of sighing.

"We need supplies, so we have to go back to base camp wherever we go. Other schedules are next."

In the current situation where the number of injured people is increasing, there was not enough manpower to guard the investigation team.

In addition, supplies such as potions were exhausted, so returning to the base camp was essential.

Jeongyeon Lee did not insist that she should go right now.

Since the investigation team was only allowed to accompany them, they had no right to decide on the schedule.

The way back to the base camp unfolded in a completely different direction than when we arrived.

Except for the wounded Si-on Kim and Tae-hoon Yoo, the Foreign Legion took the lead, and most of all, Jung Daesik seemed to lead the hunting team.

Since their purpose is to return, Jung Daesik's ability was needed to avoid monsters as much as possible.

However, unlike before, there were quite a few people, so it was impossible to avoid all the monsters.

A couple of times, I encountered a monster, but one was a worm and the other was a small Grand Mall, so it wasn't difficult to deal with it.

Jung Daesik, who regained his magical powers, killed them all before the other crew could even touch them, and arrived at base camp in half a day without much difficulty.

At base camp, they were very busy carrying the Crazy Buffalo's accessories out.

It is true that the appearance of the Crazy Buffalo had a hard time, but it made a lot of money.

Of course, the biggest income was none other than Wyvern eggs.

Jung Daesik took it out in front of the container box where the wyvern eggs were kept.

"The Wyvern Egg."

Afraid to say that, a large egg suddenly appeared out of the air.

People widened their eyes in surprise.

I usually use something like a dimension pocket, so I had to pretend to take out anything.

However, when the Wyvern egg appeared with a single word, he was surprised and asked a question.

"What the hell kind of item is that? I think it's different from the usual Dimension Pocket."

Jung Daesik only shrugged his shoulders once and was silent.

Then, he helped the Wyvern's egg settle into the holder inside the container.
