All Stat Slayer
Chapter 39: (2): Season 1: Preparation

“The party system has been activated. Upon examining the description, it didn’t seem too difficult. It was just like an online game. It was a system where party members share experience points when they form a party. Since the same rewards apply when you’re in the same battlefield, he wondered why they introduced a party system. But that doubt was quickly resolved.

“Is it recklessness or stupidity?’

This dungeon is a dungeon with no limit on the number of people. Having witnessed Hyun-seok’s abilities even to a small extent, they must have become greedy for clearing it and broke the promise by entering the dungeon. Hyun-seok and his team, in other words, the Inha Guild, probably thought they could clear this dungeon and seemed eager to join forces.

‘Or maybe they thought they could clear this dungeon from the beginning… Would it be better to cooperate and slay together?’ The man said.

“Since we’ll receive the same achievement rewards anyway… Let’s cooperate and slay together, and we’ll only take 10% of the items,” said Hyun-seok, amazed, with a wry smile.

The man interpreted that smile as his agreement and burst into laughter. However, the man underestimated Hyun-seok. Hyun-seok was not that kind or that bad, just an ordinary person. At least that’s how he saw himself. This situation naturally made him feel annoyed. Furthermore, they were only going to take 10% of the items. From the perspective of the Easy Mode, even 10% amounts to a large sum of money, 1 billion. he understand the greed, but it irritated him.

The party system was conveniently activated. The Inha Guild formed a party. According to the explanation of the party system, when they form a party, the party members share the battlefield and recovery field, as well as achievements.

Hyun-seok smirked.

“Then let’s go in.”

Jong-won made a puzzled face beside him. Jong-won had been observing Hyun-seok since childhood. While Hyun-seok called Jong-won a crazy dog, Jong-won occasionally referred to Hyun-seok as a psycho. Well, crazy dogs are naturally crazy, so they usually rampage, but when someone who is usually quiet gets angry, it’s terrifying.

‘And it’s scary that guy gets angry without realizing that he’s angry.’

The shape of the dungeon was similar to the Easy Mode. If you followed the winding path, there was a large empty space, and in that space, there were monsters, either alone or in groups. However, unlike the Easy Mode, trolls were visible.

Since the difficulty had increased due to Hyun-seok, it meant that this dungeon was of a level that didn’t suit him. Hyun-seok led the Inha Guild members and walked toward the vicinity of the center of the open space. The guild members of the other guild followed him, pretending to be friendly, and mentioned various things. They said their guild’s name was Pyeongchang.

The monster that appeared in the first room was an orc.

“It seems like the difficulty increases as we go further back in the dungeon.”

Orcs were monsters that appeared in the Easy Mode. In a normal mode dungeon, it meant either an abnormally strong orc or that the difficulty increased as you went further back. However, the orc didn’t look particularly strong. The only problem was their numbers. In Easy Mode, orcs were usually spread apart. So they had been clearing them one by one (except for Hyun-seok).

But now, three orcs were gathered in a corner and as soon as they noticed them, they started running towards them at a rapid speed. It seemed that the monsters in the dungeon had become more ferocious as the system said. The way they ran towards them was like a raging bull. It seemed like they wanted to hit something to relieve their anger. Hyun-seok focused his eyes on the orc running towards them as if to calm his irritation.

Ever since a certain point, monsters of Easy Mode specifications had stopped attacking Hyun-seok. Maybe it was because of the huge gap between them, but when they saw Hyun-seok, they carefully avoided him.

Crack!

The orc let out a fierce roar and passed by Hyun-seok, attacking the Pyeongchang guild members behind him. Although they became more aggressive, they seemed reasonably violent.

‘Why are these guys!’

The Pyeongchang guild members were initially taken aback, but they gradually began to fight back against the orcs. However, there were as many as three orcs. Even for a high-level slayer, it wasn’t an easy task to slay three orcs simultaneously. Only Hyun-seok and Jong-won could be considered as exceptions. It was easy for them to kill orcs when their strength stat reached 100.

Hyun-seok didn’t help.

“Let’s go to the next room.”

“Oh, brother?”

Min-seo looked up at Hyun-seok. The strange situation where the orc passed through the Inha Guild and attacked only the Pyeongchang Guild aside.

“Oh, oppa is mad.”

Hyun-seok was furious. He usually doesn’t get angry over trivial matters, but when he does, it’s hard to calm him down. The scariest thing is that he doesn’t show much anger, just as Jong-won thought. He would express his anger and frustration to someone he’s really close to, but he wouldn’t show much reaction to a stranger.

However, as if they heard the commotion from this side, the orcs started rushing in from all directions. Three orcs from each direction, a total of twelve, were sprinting with their nostrils flaring. It seemed like they had become more aggressive. The Pyeongchang Guild members, who noticed the orcs approaching, panicked and begged Hyun-seok.

“Hey, wait a minute!”

Hyun-seok didn’t even bother to listen and kept walking.

“Please! Help us here!”

Even they are not a weak guild. They would at least be of intermediate level. However, it would be impossible to face fifteen orcs all at once. Min-seo grabbed Hyun-seok’s sleeve.

“Oppa, aren’t you going to help those people?”

If left alone, all the Pyeongchang Guild members would die. Of course, as monsters in easy mode, they didn’t have an incredibly strong attack power, so they wouldn’t be instantly killed. But it was clear that they would die if time passed.

Hyun-seok kept walking, ignoring everything. From behind, screams erupted. They begged to be saved, admitted their mistakes, and promised never to engage in such reckless acts again. Most of them were sobbing and begging Hyun-seok, who was moving away, as they faced the terror of death. When their HP dropped below 50 percent, they started screaming. They begged to be saved. They would do anything he asked.

When their HP dropped below 30 percent, they would stop the battle in consideration of PnP regulations and safety. It meant that it was a dangerous situation where they truly felt threatened. They were surrounded by orcs and couldn’t even escape. In desperation, they would give up all the rewards and do anything he asked, just to save their lives. Finally, Hyun-seok turned around.

“Min-seo, do you still have the contract you made with your teacher?”

“Uh, yes.”

“We will get their consent for it soon.”

“Okay.”

Considering the dungeon’s current form, there would probably be a few more rooms ahead. They would have to give up all the rewards to Inha, whether they liked it or not. Since the party system was applied, they wouldn’t even divide the achievement rewards.

Jong-won let out a sigh of relief.

“I thought you were going to abandon them for real, you bastard.”

No matter how much Jong-won called him a crazy dog, people were still people. It was almost impossible for a person who had led a normal life, unless they were a heartless person or a psychopath, to simply abandon and let someone die.

Jong-won thought to himself.

‘That guy… Would he have abandoned and left if he got even angrier there?’

In the past, when he was very young, in elementary school. Jong-won recalled an incident from his childhood and shook his head. No matter what kind of experience he had in the past, hadn’t Hyun-seok grown up to be upright and honest?

Suddenly, something caught Jong-won’s eye.

“Hey, Hong Se-young. Why are you staring at me like that?”

“……”

Hong Se-young didn’t respond as if she was mesmerized by something. Jong-won turned his eyes in the direction of Se-young’s gaze and saw Hyun-seok’s back.

Jong-won spat.

“Damn it… When did she get bewitched too?”

What was even more bewildering was that Pyeong-hwa seemed to be in a similar state. Later, when Jong-won listened to her, she seemed calm and firm, showing a masculine side. Although she seemed kind and gentle on a regular basis, when she expressed her anger and showed determination, she appeared manly, which Jong-won couldn’t understand according to his common sense.

Jong-won ran.

“Let’s go together!”

Hyun-seok and Jong-won appeared in front of the Pyeongchang Guild members who were despairing, screaming, and begging for help.
