I Returned, But My Power is the Same

The battlefield was clean.

I looked around more, just in case, but the Scorpion Man was nowhere to be seen.

It was our victory.

Soon, the notification also informed the fact about him.

[You have cleared the stage.]

[You can move to the next floor.]

[The waiting time is about 1 hour.]

There's nothing more to see

Finally put down the sword.

The members then rested with peace of mind.

Everyone looked tired.

The battle progressed easily, but that doesn't mean that stamina or stamina has not been lost.

“Wow, I thought I was going to die.”

“So that’s it. It came out terribly.”

“If the leader hadn’t removed the gate, he would probably still be fighting, right?”

“I will. It's terrible.”

Everyone shook their heads.

It was definitely a difficult situation.

There were too many, though there were too many heads.

The Scorpion Man itself also had high original combat power.

“How are you all doing?”

He approached the members and asked.

The members who used to drink potions laugh like they did when haha.

“It’s fine. It just itch.”

“Yes, nothing is wrong.”

I think I'm doing that on purpose, just in case I'm worried.

It would be better not to say anything at this time.

Anyway, medical officers are walking around to heal wounds.

Then you'll be fine.

And everyone was busy talking about something else right away.

“But, Commander, how the hell did this happen? It's just like the manager said. We are in the center, and monsters are coming from all directions. Even that monster is a Scorpion Man.”

“Isn’t that the kind of situation that often happens when you go around a dungeon? It's packaged as a stage. And didn't you train not only on Scorpion Man, but also on other monsters in the same way? It just happened.”

“Isn’t it a miracle that that coincidence?”

Members raised their voices here and there.

"Yes. Commander, don't you have some kind of prophecy ability?"

“No matter how you think about it, it’s amazing.”

“Scorpion Man isn’t a monster we see often, is it? If it were me, I wouldn't have trained with him at all."

If you say you've returned, you'll be able to convince everyone right away.

But even if you convince me, I'm sure you'll hear some crazy shit.

That's why I hid it even from my family.

“Actually, I have a good sense of touch.”

So he replied:

So that when a similar situation occurs on the next floor, it can be easily moved over.

“Is it a touch?”

"Yes. Trust me in the future.”

He smiled and walked away from the members.

And I took a seat on one side and drank the potion simply.

I didn't lose any stamina or stamina, but I always have to drink potions just in case.

at the end of each battle.

bum bum-

I drank too much.

The neck is a bit sharp.

A glass of cold drink is longing.

where would this be

As I was digging through my biscuit bag, something suddenly appeared in front of me.

It was a drink.White fingers were holding it.

I looked up and saw Major Young So-jin's face.

“Eat this.”

"thank you. How do you know I'm looking for another drink?"

“If you pretend, you pretend.”

“Doesn’t the vice-captain eat?”

“I am here.”

Major Young So-jin takes another drink and shakes it in front of me.

And come and sit next to me.

“Chief, it was like an actor from a hero movie earlier.”

“I am? when?"

“Okay. When the sky rises and you destroy the gate. It was really cool.”

“Baby, I’m embarrassed. But even so, I can't compare him to an actor who appears in such a movie."

“Why, you were really cool.”

Major Young So-jin smiles as he speaks.

After all, you're the one who made fun of me.

“The deputy chief did a good job. If it wasn't for the Vice-Captain, I wouldn't have been able to finish it so well."

“What have I done? You just put a spoon on the table set by the headmaster. But what I just said is so sincere.”

“What do you mean?”

“It was like an actor from a hero movie.”

“Ah, if you keep doing that, I won’t be able to lift my head. It seems to me that you are saying that to the members as well.”

“It’s true, but what should I do, then?”

face turns red

I coughed in vain and got up from my seat.

“Okay, now we’re ready to go up to the second floor.”

“Is that time already? it's a shame. I don't know why play time goes so fast."

Major Young So-jin, who was muttering with a prickly face, stood behind the members again.

I want to take another half day off like this, but the system can't do that.

When the waiting time is over, you must go upstairs.

what's ok

Everyone lost their stamina and stamina, but they weren't seriously injured.

Even if I got hurt, I fixed it with potions or medical officers' heels.

Alright, just go up like this.

And you have to clear it.

Like now on the first floor.

However, as I have said several times, it is a situation that cannot be neglected.

As the level increases, the difficulty increases.

The second floor is especially so.

* * *

[We have arrived on the second floor.]

[The stage will start soon.]

When I opened my eyes, there was a jungle that could be seen anywhere in the Amazon.

The weather was hot and humid.

The sky was dark and it looked like it was going to rain at any moment.

The discomfort index skyrocketed, but it's hot and humid, so bear with it.

Avoid the rain or stop if it hits.

What matters is the stage.

Whatever the environment, you just need to clear that stage.

“I will wait for you for a moment.”

Of course, training is also provided for the second floor stage.

However, the content is very difficult, so even if you have trained in advance, it will not be easy.

[2nd Floor - Time Bomb]

[Soon, a blue arrow will be created in front.]

[Follow the blue arrow to your destination.]

[A time bomb is installed at the destination.]

[You must reach the destination within the time limit to prevent the time bomb from detonating.]

[However, at least 40 people must reach the destination.]

[If the number of people is not met, the time bomb will explode.]

[And bounces out of the tower.]

in short.

This means that at least 40 people must follow the blue arrow to reach the destination within an hour to avoid the time bomb detonating.

Then, if we just need to get to our destination quickly, it can't be that simple.

Kirrrr-

Kirr-

A groan began to resound in the jungle.

The members were agitated.

"what? What are you talking about? Is it Monston?”

If it's a monster, it's a monster.

But to be more precise, it's a plant-type monster.

There are vines in the jungle, and the vines turn into monsters and attack the target.

Of course, there are other monsters as well.

It's a daunting stage in many ways.

I heard that there were a lot of casualties at this stage even before the return.

We can't repeat that nightmare.

I raised my hand.

“A stage like this was practiced tens of hundreds of times during training. As long as you do what you practice, you can break through without any problems.”

"Yes."

“It would be better not to think about entering up to 40 people. Thinking that everything went in unconditionally, you go that way.”

It would be really nice to go all in, but it's probably going to be difficult.

The reason was again revealed in the jungle.

A vine that became a monster.

Other monsters around them also began to shine their faces.

The Scorpion Man I caught earlier was so terrifying that it looked cute.

However, it is foolish to cut off only 40 people in order of skill.

Because if you subtract that you are behind, you will be subtracted again next time.

Then it loses meaning.

Meaning of one 'team'.

“Medical officers and signal officers accompany us, but please move from the rear as much as possible.”

"all right."

Medical officers and signal officers are, in fact, safest to be left here.

But I can't.

[The time limit is three days.]

[Follow the blue arrow within three days to reach the destination with at least 40 people.]

Because the time limit is three days.

In other words, three days is the distance to reach.

can't leave it alone

“Shall we use our strength again?”

“Anyway, this time, the manager’s prediction came true. There is a time limit. Even so, I didn’t know that even the vine monsters would come out the same.”

“Chief, how good does it have to be for this to happen?”

I think I spoke well earlier.

Everyone is puzzled, but they say it is so and pass it on.

Of course, things were going so that I had no choice but to do it.

[A blue arrow has been created.]

[The time will decrease from now on.]

A blue arrow was created.

as time decreases.

“Let’s go.”

I took a short breath and stepped out.

And with the members, they went into the jungle.

* * *

“I’ll go ahead and remove the vines first, as we trained.”

"Yes."

in the jungle.

Monsters spread all over the river.The most difficult of the dogs was the vine.

Not only was she wrapped around her body, but her jaws were wide open from the side of the stem.

Literally, he had his mouth wide open.

Something that looked like a fly-hell was about to bite the members' bodies.

Teeth sprouting densely like that of a shark.

A liquid that is presumed to be poisonous.

Bitten wrong and it's over.

“I will open the way first.”

There is no need to conserve energy here.

Gathered a lot of mana and blew a sword wind.

In harmony with the unity of the gods, it stretched out drawing a huge half moon.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

The vines fall down like reeds.

Then the other monsters around them were also torn to shreds.

The road was open.

But that was the only way the sword had passed.

The rest was still littered with vines and monsters.

There was nothing to worry about.

That part was resolved by the members on their own.

“How long have you been preparing? I can't be beaten by this vine."

“Don’t wipe it all away!”

All the team leaders are sergeants.

All of the deputy managers are sergeants.

Even the members below them are talented people who say they are born in each unit.

No matter how tough, sharp, and bitter the vines were, there was nothing for them to bow down.

It was the same with Major Young So-jin.

At the forefront, everything in sight was being cut.

The monsters weren't too shabby either.

Whenever her sword moved, their heads and limbs flew in all directions.

Okay, let's go like this.

“Keep moving forward!”

"Yes!"

“Teams 3 and 4 will continue to break through to the side, and Teams 1 and 2 will break through head-on with me!”

He continued to lead the members.

The vines that had been tangled so tiredly began to disappear little by little.

And the monsters began to disappear.

But it's too early to be reassured.

Because the time limit is three days.

You'll probably have to camp for a couple of days.

Of course, it has nothing to do with Sookyoung.

Because that's what I've already expected.

“I will go ahead and heal the wounds. If you are infected with poison, drink the antidote immediately.”

"Yes."

After about eight hours, we reached the end of the jungle.

The vines were no longer visible.

The monsters also disappeared as if they had ever been there.

I stopped moving for a while and concentrated on treatment.

Fortunately, no one was seriously injured.

I said goodbye to the medical officers and went forward.

To see what lies outside this jungle.

I've only heard of it, but I haven't seen it in person.

The moment you came out of the jungle.

It was immediately clear why the hunters who came here before returning suffered so much damage.

“Heh heh, this is no joke.”

"So."

The members who came after saw the sight in front and could not forget their words for a moment.

Where everyone's eyes reach.

A super high-ranking monster, the Chimera, was flying.
