I Am The Sorcerer King chapter 15

Chapter 15

The monster cannot be killed with ordinary weapons, since the strength in its body is balanced with mana. The high-class beasts had no normal physical strength at all, as did the ogre that caused Song Hoon’s awakening.

– Moo-oo-oo! Mumbled a blind bull with a hole in his throat. Not many creatures survive such a wound.

“Hmm … His brains are pretty valuable. And the heart is important, too, so he punched his throat. Indeed, this guy chose the most profitable. ”

Since everyone was in debt, they lived rather economically.

– Wow! Oppa, you’re cool! Why do you need us at all in this situation?

– What are you! He was only one. If there are many of them, then someone may suffer.

Nobody knows what might happen on the battlefield, so a healer is needed to be in charge of healing. Even if the help of a healer is not needed during a fight, he should still be there. Just in case.

Because the healer could be the last hope.

– Wow … How is that even possible? After that, can I quit the support position? – Xing Sang Jin stood nearby and couldn’t close his mouth in surprise.

– These are not all my abilities. They work in proportion to my level or mana level. But, in principle, this is enough to grab a blind bull. I think we should catch another, higher level, as planned.

Everyone nodded in agreement at Song Hoon’s words. Porters bustlingly jumped out of the car and moved towards the body of the blind bull. The guy watched carefully as they, moaning, loaded the body into the luggage compartment.

“I think I can level up quickly. Hike, I’m lucky, “Sung Hoon thought.

***

The warrior climbed deeper into the truck. Finally, everyone arrived at a place where they could catch a more dangerous monster. One of the assistants got out of the car, holding what looked like a controller in his hands.

The drone took off into the sky. That way it was possible to locate the monster and get its attention. In order to lure him, special food was usually hung on the drone. A human bait was also used for the approaching monster.

The world is changing rapidly. The appearance of monsters and awakened ones changed him for the better, and at the same time for the worse.

Bait work was one of those horrors. The mortality rate of such people is very high. Although the pay is quite high, it is still a huge risk to life.

– Found! – Shouted assistant Choi.

Kim Do Jin stood by and looked at his monitor.

– It’s Claws?

Yes, this creature was given just such a nickname – “Claws”. The insect looked like a cross between a crayfish and a stag beetle, while its figure slightly resembled a human.

“When did the Claws appear in this area? ..” Kim Do Jin muttered.

– Did you find him? Healer Min Ye Yeon asked.

– Yeah. It seems to be a scout …

Since they were insect-like monsters, they spent their lives in a colony. Having created a nest, the monsters terrorized the area around, killing all living things.

“They probably built a nest just recently. If you look at the map of monsters, then there were no Claws in this area.

– I do not like these freaks …

– Yeah. Usually at least five hundred critters crawl out of the nest.

– Claws? Are these the same creatures? Well, like ants. “Song Hoon interrupted Kim Do Jin and Min Ye Yeon’s conversation.

– Yeah. They dig the ground like ants and create their nest. They also have a queen, her rank is B.

The ogre at the gas station that Song Hoon saw was an A-rank monster. Among these critters there are those that have a weak attack, but there are also strong ones. Monsters like the Mandrake have been ranked A due to their rarity and location. But her attack strength is roughly C-rank.

– Unlike the case in the parking lot, there is far from one monster.

– If a class A monster appears, then a state mobilization is carried out.

– Yes …

“Well, then let’s get ready. If we lure beetles near their nest, then we can catch them. When they come together in a bunch, it won’t be easy, but it will bring a lot of money. Do you agree?

– Agree!

– Money is good.

Everyone did this job only because of the rustling papers. Therefore, the members of the squad unanimously supported the idea.

***

The monster, which was called “Claws”, ran, making strange sounds. But he wasn’t just running out of boredom. The sense organs of this beetle were specific – they could transmit signals to their other relatives.

The claws found the food and naturally began to chase it. While the beetle moved, it distributed signals to its brothers in the area. So very soon they will also come running in this direction.

What he was chasing so quickly was the drone. 50 kg of pork meat, from which blood flowed, was suspended from a rope. In fact, the drone could fly faster, but it deliberately moved at a speed available to a beetle.

Ahead of this whole procession, Song Hoon was waiting.

– I’m shooting! Li Jin Su shouted.

Its striking power is large enough. As he grabbed his bow and used his mana, a strong wind rose from his bow, shaking the air around him.

The archer’s hand moved very quickly. The shells began to fly out at great speed. One by one the arrows flew, revolving on their axis.

In the blink of an eye, Claw turned into a kind of hedgehog. Although his body was covered with a shell, this did not mean that the beetle would ignore the sharp arrows, which were now literally stuffed with them. Claw’s movements became dull, he began to emit heart-rending sounds.

– Piercing Demon Spear!

The black spear, thick as a beam of light, shot into the air and pierced the monster’s head. After that, the spear glowed and disappeared, and then reappeared in the hand of Park Jin Suk, the Master of the Demon Spear.

So easily they knocked down the first Claw monster.

“Oh… Sung Hoon, that was just fine,” Park Jin Suk was startled.

– What exactly? – interested in Min Ye Yeon, n along with her and Lee Jin Soo.

– Now, when I was shooting from a bow, my shots were much more powerful. I heard that Sung Hoon has a buff, but I didn’t think it was that strong.

“Wow …” Min Ye Young looked at the guy with an impressed look.

And then…

– Seven critters approaching from different directions! One hour, four hours, six, ten and eleven hours. For one hour, two. At ten o’clock, too, two! – said the assistant watching the monitor.

At his shout, Kim Do Jin began to issue instructions:

– Jin Suk and Jin Soo, before the monsters get close, prepare for an ambush. We start with critters approaching from directions at four, six and eleven o’clock! We leave the monsters alone for one and ten hours. Xi Sang Jin is using debuffs, Ye Yeon will heal me! Song Hoon, use paralysis!

– Received!

– Yes!

Park Jin Sang and Lee Jin Soo quickly launched an attack. Arrows and spears cut through the sky and flew at monsters approaching from different directions.

At that time…

– Of the directions for one hour and ten hours – which of them is the closest?

– For ten o’clock!

Kim Do Jin quickly rushed in that direction.

“Hmm … He wants to aggravate the monsters for ten hours and direct them to the creatures from the first hour?”

While Sung Hoon was thinking about it, Kim Do Jin actually did so. At the moment of approaching those monsters that were advancing from the direction of ten o’clock, a red energy ring formed on their heads.

“Psychological shock. Power that grabs the attention of the enemy. ”

Song Hoon, as a magician, immediately recognized this skill. As soon as the monsters began to follow Kim Do Jin, he began to run away with all his might. His goal was to head for one hour. Shin Sung Jin aimed his hand at the two monsters behind Kim Do Jin.

– Weakening!

The entire effect of the debuff is focused on two monsters. A purple flash flashed, and immediately disappeared. The movement of the Claws has noticeably slowed down. This was due to the fact that physical strength, endurance, agility and other characteristics of overgrown beetles were weakened.

“Hmm … Really amazing. From the point of view of magic, is it something like a ray of weakness? ”

Song Hoon watched closely. This is his natural instinct as a magician. But then it was time to step into the game, and the guy raised his hand. When Kim Do Jin almost reached the Claws from one hour’s direction, Sung Hoon aimed his palm at those monsters.

– Paralysis!

A bright flash, and the monsters in that direction shuddered and stopped. Song Hoon used magic and a mana cube.

– Paralysis, paralysis, paralysis!

In an instant, the three Claws stopped. Although the paralysis lasts only five minutes, Sung Hoon still had a lot of strength to use this ability a hundred times.

– We start with the creatures that are paralyzed …

– Paralysis, paralysis!

The moment Kim Do Jin wanted to give the order, Sung Hoon used paralysis on all the remaining monsters.

– Why.

All the Claws were now paralyzed. They looked startled and frightened.

– A? What? Can you use this skill on several at once?

“Yes, but don’t forget that we only have five minutes. We need to quickly deal with them.

– Ha ha! Laughed Kim Do Jin, the Iron Berserker, raising his weapon in the air.

One hit and the monster’s head is shattered.

– So, the hunt continues!

***

All this action lasted for several hours. The hunters caught 45 Claws, received 810 million, and some of the bodies were thrown into a truck. Back at the checkpoint town, they sorted out the bodies belonging to the HD Group. According to the report, it was clear that the amount was simply huge.

The cost of one Claw was 18 million won, but for 45 critters, they saved 810 million won.

“This is usually the case,” Deputy Kim Tae Hyun said, holding a calculator in his hand.

They were in the HD Group office in the checkpoint city.

– The cost increases slightly depending on the amount of damage. If there is little damage, as in this case, then there is about a 30% surcharge.

– True? And how much does it turn out? Min Ye Young’s eyes lit up.

“You got it in advance, right? And she said that all these debts … “- Sung Hoon chuckled, looking at the girl.

Because he knew perfectly well the reason for the sparkle in her eyes.
