Chapter 44

The shadows entered the water and Hye just looked from the edge. As he watched, he noticed that those shadows were much faster in the water than outside since in a few minutes they arrived at that monster that was far away.

[Total points earned 3500]

"At last! I didn't think it would show up. " Hye said after being relieved by the delayed arrival of the system message

[You have leveled up x15]

[Current Level 237]

[Restored Mana]

While Hye looked relieved at the late arrival of the system's message, his shadows were trying to fight that monster in the water. But the difference in level was too big since the more time passed, the more Hye's mana number went down.

Hye was unconcerned looking at the system message and had forgotten about his shadows in the water until a system message arrived.

[Remove your Shadows!]

[Remove your Shadows!]

[Quick Mana Loss!]

[Total Mana: 20k]

[Total Mana Lost: 10.9k]

[… 13k!]

[… 15k!]

[… 18k!]

After seeing all of these messages Hye quickly sent his shadows back. But what he did not expect was that with his shadows the monster they were fighting against would also come along. Hye tried to put more mana in the shadows to make them faster, and it worked. But the faster the shadows got, the faster the monster got too, and each time the monster approached Hye realized its real size. That creature was not a simple whale because even though it was hundreds of meters or even kilometers away from Hye, and still with part of its body in the water it still appeared to be much taller than a small building with only that part of your body that was out of the water.

After a few minutes with the monster following and attacking Hye's shadows, he finally looked tired and stopped following the shadows. Then after a few minutes the shadows had finally reached Hye again, but the relief lasted for a short time since when the shadows stepped on the ice-covered ground to which Hye was standing, the monster that was still in the water attacked them with something like a jet of water. But a very powerful jet of water, powerful enough that even Hye was not confident enough to stay ahead. Even though I knew it was just water.

And even though the monster was still very far away, the jet arrived at the place where Hye was almost instantly. That attack was so fast that Hye only had time to use his ability to hide in the shadows to enter the shadows of the trees that were just behind him so that he would not be hit by the attack. But in all his haste Hye was unable to keep all of his shadows and 5 of the sevens were still outside.

'Where are you!? Damn it, if any of them die, the guilt will fall on me and that can't happen.! 'Byeol was thinking this because if any of his guild members died in that dungeon, the guilt would obviously fall on her. Since she is the person with the highest rank in the guild who was participating in the dungeon.

After running for a few minutes Byeol was already a long way from where she was with Hye, but even though she was so far away for a moment she felt an intense icy air coming from the direction she was coming from. And with that freezing air she also felt a strong chill that made her paralyze for a few seconds. After approximately 3 seconds, Byeol's shiver had passed and she returned to her main objective at that moment. Even though I was scared and thinking about what could be the cause of that cold air and also the chill that she had felt.

After Byeol continued running for another 17 minutes, she had finally found one of her guild's teams. And when she found them, they were fighting bigger monsters than the ones Hye had faced back there earlier. And his species also seemed to be different from the previous ones since those monsters in front of him were more like bears. And these bears were almost twice the size of the people there, but the thing that Byeol paid the most attention to was that the battle marks she had seen when she was following Hye were nothing like the marks those bears could cause.

While Byeol thought about these things the members of her guild were having a lot of problems dealing with those 8 bears that were attacking them "bring him behind us!" shouted a man who was trying to keep the bears away from one of his injured colleagues.

A woman who was too frightened by the situation she was in to be able to attack or help a colleague, then seeing a chance of survival using her colleague as bait she said "It won't do. Just let him there! " the woman was shaking and unable to do anything, just waiting behind that man for the perfect time to escape.

The man, even with his injured leg, was helping his companion to keep the bears away from the other two who were useless in that situation. said the man with the injured leg, trying to act as bait so that at least his companions could escape and survive.

While they were talking to each other one of the bears came up behind them and attacked the woman who wanted to leave the teammate as bait "aaaaah!" shouted the other woman who was also just hiding behind her companions.

Soon after the bear killed the woman, with the cry of fear of the other he was furious and was ready to attack them again. But when he raised his huge paw to attack them, Byeol appeared behind the bear and punched him in the middle of the belly that left a huge hole.

"Ahhh! Thank you so much for saving me! Now please help agent.! " said the woman grateful that Byeol had saved her. But still scared to see all those monsters that still remained around her.

"Thank you so much for coming to help Ms. Cha." said the two men still trying to prevent the bears from approaching

After helping them with that bear Byeol asked them what his skills were. The man who was trying to stop the monsters from approaching had a fencing skill and was level 120, the woman had a healing skill and was level 97, and the other woman who was killed also had the skill table with the only difference that she was level 110, while the man with the injured leg had a fire control ability and was level 130 being the strongest of the four in that group. After learning about the man's skill with his injured leg Byeol stopped for a moment and realized that it was not as cold there as the place she was before, on the contrary, it was very similar to the temperature outside the dungeon.

After hearing what the skills of each person in the Byeol group were, he sent the woman to heal the man with the injured leg, while she attacked the monsters and the other man protected them while the woman healed the injury.

When Byeol went to face the monsters she realized that now it was not so difficult since she was no longer cold and constantly putting mana on her shield against the cold. In the first attempt she already managed to kill one of the bears with just one blow by blowing his head. After realizing how easy it would be to kill the monsters without her restrictions, she went over to the other two who were together. And after killing the two simultaneously with a single punch, the woman had already healed the injured man.

And now the two men were fighting each other with a monster and protecting the woman behind them. Now there were only three bears left and Byeol would surely be able to kill them. So she went to attack the monster that was closest to her, and after killing him easily she went on top of the other. But when she did that, the other monster used that opportunity and fled into the forest.

The two men killed the monsters they were fighting against at almost the same time and Byeol killed the last one he had there. They didn't care about the monster that had run away thinking it would be okay.

After all the monsters were killed they were finally on shovels and the man who previously had his injured leg said "thank you so much for coming to help Mrs. Cha. And by the way, my name is Chang Ming. And this is my brother Heyong Ming. "

"And mine is Yu Mi" introduced the girl who was extremely scared behind the two men.

"Thank you so much for helping us!" she spoke the three bowing to Byeol at the same time.

"We don't have time for this right now. We have to go and help others. " said Byeol as he walked towards another group within the forest.

'Especially because the more people who die, the worse it will be for me.' She thought that because one of the people who were under her command has died, so if her status dies in front of the public and other hunters, it would only get worse.

"But what about Ji Ae?" asked Yu Mi, weeping at the mutilated body on the floor.

"… There is no way for us to take her since it would hinder us when we go to help others. But we can come here and get her after it's all over. " replied Byeol trying to make them think she is a great person. When in reality she just wanted to make sure they would say good things about her, in case anyone asked something out there.

After Byeol said that, Yu Mi cried a little while she closed her eyes from her friend's body and they went to the direction where the other group would be.

______________________________

After that powerful attack Hye waited a few minutes to get out of the shadow and while he was inside he felt like an idiot after remembering that the shadows didn't need to be in the same place as him to go back. And so five minutes went by.

After five minutes had passed Hye stepped out of the shadow and looked at the damage that attack had caused. When looking to the sides everything was normal, except the part where all the trees and stones that were normal before had now become ice, pure ice. And when looking in the direction of the water in which the attack was carried out all the water until reaching the place where the monster was turned into an ice road. Now the land where the jet caught did not turn all to ice, for some reason the center of the hole where the jet caught seemed that it had not frozen but burned. The edges of the hole were indeed frozen, but the center was a hole so deep and hot that it reached the land that previously had a thick layer of ice covering it. And this was repeated for hundreds of meters of land in a straight line. The range was so long that even focusing on improved vision thanks to his level Hye could not see where the attack dissipated.
