The Player Who Returned From The Apocalypse

Chapter 233

[ You have entered the S-class gate. ]

[ The quest hunting has been accepted. ]

[ Hunt the monsters inside the gate for a week. ]

[ The quest is cleared by killing 100 monsters. ]

[The quest will be cleared after a week. ]

[ The reward is determined according to the amount of monsters caught. ]

[ Survive. ]

[ Some monsters become allies. ]

As soon as Sungjin entered the gate, he checked the system message.

To put it simply, you can catch up to 100 monsters within a week and receive a reward commensurate with it.

The problem was that these 100 would be S-class monsters, and there were cooperative monsters.

'It's here again.'

cooperation with monsters.

Does it really come out that often?

This is the third time using the gate so far.

The first is when using a D-grade gate, when you annihilated them because there was no concept of monsters.

And then it was time to reinforce the constant party at the B-grade gate. I was going to have a conversation with the elves, who were fellow monsters at the time, but what was perceived as an enemy because of killing a monster before was clearly visible in my mind.

Perhaps something similar will happen this time as well. This time I had to make sure that didn't happen.

“….”

After checking all the quests, I looked around.

Perhaps because of the high temperature and humidity, plants large enough to block the view were predominant.

The field of vision was difficult to see because of the large reeds, so it was necessary to check it using fluoroscopy and farsightedness. Looking up, it felt a little dark because the branches of the trees were blocking the light.

A river flowed slowly nearby, but it looked deep and the monsters seemed to move little by little in the distance.

After a while, other parties started to come.

"Quest, do you give me something good?"

"You always think about the results first. Think about how you will survive for a week."

"What? Aren't you going to catch me?"

"Are you crazy? Think about it. This is an S-class gate. And we are in the position of monsters."

"How about that?"

"Think about when we enter the gate. Only Awakened characters with a level higher than the gate level can enter. Then, the monster we need to catch is a level S level or higher. Are you going to catch a hundred of them? Did you wish to die?"

"Ah. I know. I know. What are you nervous about?"

As soon as Valdemar and Peter entered, they checked the system messages that were different from usual and started a conversation.

Peter, who was running the information guild, got the gist of the role.

This is not the gate they normally attack.

This is the one being attacked.

Considering that their former gate clear probability converges to almost 100%, the opponent's power would be beyond imagination.

I didn't know maybe a hundred monsters would actually appear.

"Even so, running away doesn't fit your temper."

"First of all, it's information. It's basic to move based on it. You probably know it too."

"I know. I know. Sungjin. Let's do a favor."

Valdemar, who lost in an argument, asked Sungjin as if he couldn't do it.

Obtaining information, namely, the job of a recon hunter.

Although there was no such lineage directly in this party, Sungjin and Nurari had the ability to do so.

"Let's go first. Come this way."

Since I had checked the surroundings in advance, I led them to the cave where I had marked them beforehand.

The hiding place was well done and there were no monsters around, so it would be a pretty good hideout if you deal with a few magic tricks.

I was planning to put them here and start exploring properly.

"Then. I'll go. Let's go."

"Yeah. Let's go."

Nura-ri closely followed Seong-jin's words and followed him.

And when there was a reasonable distance, he said.

"Have you figured out all the monster locations?"

"I understand everything, but I'm a little worried."

"worry?"

"Before, I killed those designated as fellow monsters in the gate. Thanks to them, the title of Murderer seems to come up."

"Oh, that's it."

After hearing Sungjin's explanation, Nu Lari nodded his head.

It happens often.

They are from another world, even though they are designated as colleagues by the system.

Those who did not agree with each other and attacked other worlds were usually warlike.

There may be differences in the division of roles and you may not like what you just look like.

You may develop an aversion to being a different species.

You might just hate being a monster.

No matter how trivial the reasons may be, quarrels and disputes arise and eventually lead to catastrophe.

And what he got was the hidden title of Murderer.

"What's wrong with that?"

"How about. If you have this, it will be difficult to talk to fellow monsters or something."

"No, you were going to talk to them?"

As if it was nonsense, Nurari stopped walking and said nonsense.

"Why? Is there a problem?"

"Well, if you do, I won't stop you, but honestly, I'd like you to quit."

"Why?"

"It's not like that's all, but in my experience, this fellow monster isn't a very good system. I've ridden the gate many times."

He bent over for a moment and put his hands on the floor.

He showed me what was on his hand.

"It's not good every time. Both the process and the result."

His hands were stained with green blood from monsters.

* * *

Seongjin and Nura-ri approached the suspected fellow monsters, and slowly approached them using stealth.

Reeds grow thickly in the river submerged up to the ankle, and there are huge trees around.

And when I looked down, the color of the water was green, and the bloody smell of monsters was vibrating.

“I think you are right.”

It takes quite a while to get to the gate from the other world.

But as if a battle had already begun, the green blood was getting thicker.

Not one or two bloods.

Fellow monsters are fighting each other.

"So, what did you say? They are called fellow monsters in the first place, but harmony doesn't work well even with people you know. You call it an empty spot? You can think of it as similar to that."

Nura-ri explained with examples in an easy-to-understand way for Seong-jin.

In general, people who know each other often fight even if they organize a party.

However, when people you don't know get together to form a party, starting with the division of roles, race, gender, personality, level, and skill are all considered, so there are more quarrels and more frequent fights and killings in the gate than expected.

But what happens when you have a party with a monster?

It is easy to fight and kill because they are treated as monsters because they are treated as monsters because discrimination occurs regardless of race and conflicts between races and prey and predators occur easily.

"Once you encounter them inside the gate, they are monsters unless they are companions. They are invaders who take profit while consuming other worlds. Do you think such people are colleagues because they are tied up as colleagues by the system? They are bastards who sold their conscience?"

shhh-

The dagger flew with the sound of breaking the wind.

Seongjin, who felt it coming towards his forehead, did not avoid it, but grabbed it with his hand and threw it in the direction it came from.

"Kreuk...!"

There was a boiling sound, and Seongjin approached the place.

There, a tooth resembling an elf, but with dark skin color, was lying on the floor with a dagger stuck around his neck.

dark elf.

Unlike normal elves, it cannot handle magic and plants, but it was a monster with a higher level of skill in stealth and search.

Perhaps it was through that skill that he saw through and attacked.

- Murderer, Ivan

When I looked up above his head, the titles and names that came out were glowing red.

Perhaps others will see the same phrase.

[ Quest achievement: 1% ]

tuk.

In the end, the dark elf who died dropped a manastone on the ground and died. Then the system message in the corner changed.

The quest is to hunt 100 monsters within the gate.

It seems that fellow monsters were no exception to this.

After all, fellow monsters are also monsters.

Pavat-

Flutter!

The other dark elves around them began to gather.

They hid around and aimed their bows and daggers.

Then, a huge black dragon appeared and a dark elf riding on it.

maybe he's the boss

Above their heads, all of them, the same title, Murderer, was floating in red.

“Would you like to talk for a moment?”

"Are you ignoring my words to the end? It's not a category that makes sense."

"Even so. It may have the same purpose as us, and there are others like you."

"Someone like me?"

"The good-natured idiot who came through the gate and tried to settle down."

"It's a black history, so don't tell me. And that's a special case for me..."

"I know. But, just in case, you have to think about it. You only have one life, right?"

He lifted his head and looked up at the sky to see the dark elf captain waiting with his arms crossed without attacking even during conversation with Nu Lari.

If you don't attack all the time, maybe that doesn't mean you're willing to have a conversation.

"Are you finished talking?"

"It's over. You've worked hard to wait. For what purpose did you open the gate…."

"Then, take the punishment for killing our people."

"Yeah, you're good at cutting words."

look at the horseshoe

Isn't it just a one-sided fight?

"Let me tell you, I didn't attack first, the elf attacked. I just gave it back."

"I was aiming for the head, but the target went to my neck."

"Shut up."(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

"Shut up!"

“….”

"Do you think that our elves' lives and that of hybrid humans are the same?"

"no."

my life is more precious

Because that's the way people are originally.

However, the dark elf captain nodded his head as if the meaning was not conveyed properly.

"You killed our compatriots like that. Normally, even if you die, you can't pay for your sins, but if you give out all the items you have, I will give you a special pardon."

I've talked for a long time until now, but what I end up doing is robbery. Perhaps if I kill it like this, I don't know if the item will fall, so it's a symbol of killing me if I give it all out.

There, even in words, racism is openly exposed.

"Because there's a guy like that, we're going to fight. Okay?

"Yeah. I wasn't like you."

"That's why you said yes. But it's insulting to hear that over and over."

"It's my mood."

As they blatantly ignore the Dark Elves and gossip about them, the eyes around them turned bloody.

The dragon also glided low and began to spit fire wildly from its mouth.

"…rejection?"

"If it were you, would you? Eat this."

[ I used skill taunt. ]

I just lifted my middle finger, but the skill was used automatically.

"Yeah. Then die."
