Chapter 24 – Giant’s Canyon (2)
Giant’s Canyon Raid
Objective – Hunt Ogre Mage ‘Pach’ and ‘Cho’Roch’
Time limit: 1 Hour.
Despite the Operator’s mission briefing, the hunters continued to stare among themselves wordlessly. The mood was stiff. Xian Wang clapped his hands one more time to gather their attention.
“Let’s introduce ourselves at least. I’ll start. My name is Xian Wang, Chinese. I am 30 years old, and I use a spear in fights.”
Again, no one responded. This time, Xian asked Serin to help him out.
“Miss Serin, could you please introduce yourself? I already know, but most people here still don’t know who you are……”
Addressed directly, she finally opened her mouth.
“I am Serin Han. Korean.”
With her short reply, the other two men also introduced themselves. Beginning with the Shield wielding Guardian.
“Raj. Indian.”
And the ‘Assassin’ with a dagger
“Santiago. Mexican.”
Santiago took his dagger and cleaned his nails. When the sleeve of his shirt slid down, an intricate tattoo could be seen on his arm.
‘South American Drug Cartel?’
Sungjin kept him in mind. In the late game, he had seen many individuals with extremely dark past.
After all, violent individuals were better suited to survive and adapt to danger.
While Sungjin was thinking about this, the rest of the hunters turned to look at him.
“I am K.”
At his response, Xian Wang asked him
“Kei…… Kei……? Are you Japanese?”
Sungjin couldn’t help but smile before replying
“Nationality…… why does that matter at all?”
Xian Wang answered raising both his hands up.
“Ah, well…… I guess it doesn’t. Ok then, let’s talk about how we’re going to fight from this point forward. I use a spear…… and I can fight enemies from some distance away.
The Guardian spoke up.
“I have invested heavily into endurance. And I spent all the coins I got until now into armor. I should be able to provide a sturdy shield wall.”
On his belt were several Recovery Potions. He must have done lots of Tanking until now. The next was Santiago.
“I am…… experienced with slashing throats with a dagger. I’ve noticed that all monsters…… also have throats.”
There was something incredibly threatening about him. Next was Serin Han.
“.……You’ve probably heard already, but I am an Archery Gold Medalist.”
Last was Sungjin. He thought about what he should say for a moment, but he got a fun idea.
“I am a mage.”
Everyone looked at him incredulously.
‘I should try one spell before raid begins’
Sungjin aimed away from the hunters and recited an incantation.
“Binding Frost! Frostbite!”
Sungjin’s hand emitted bright blue right, and then a 10 meters squared area of the ground that he indicated froze over. Sungjin inspected the effects of his spell.
