Newbie Life of a Former Ranker

Teresa said she had to hunt iron ore golems for the equipment crafting quest, and that she had her own method.

You and your swordsman friend, who are dealers (dealer warriors), may not be tanks, but they can play a similar role as tanks with the 「Push」 and 「Down」 skills.

Of course, I know that hunting efficiency will be lower than that of other parties, so I will distribute half of the loot the party gets.

“… So, you may lose a little in terms of experience, but you will be able to earn more money. Yeah? Please help me. I’ve been here for three days because of this quest.”

Teresa’s expression was one of earnestness, with the sadness that had been punctuated by the rejection.

I waited for Dojin’s next words with a nervous feeling that I might be rejected again.

“like. We’re leaving anyway, so let’s go right now.”

“yes? Does that mean you are coming with us?”

It was Teresa who was loading a new card to convince her that if she tried to refuse, she would even pay for the potion.

However, Dojin accepted it very easily, said that there was nothing to waste time, and got up immediately after arranging the seat.

“Eh, in such a hurry?”

Teresa stood up and asked a question.

He seemed unable to adapt to the sudden development of the situation.

Do-jin said to her.

“Doing this is a waste of time and a loss of experience.”

“that… It is. Then wait a minute. I’ll call the other party members!”

“Oh, before that.”

Do-jin’s call as if he had remembered something.

Theresa stopped just as she was about to run.

“There is one thing I want to try when hunting. Could you help me with just that?”

The answer that came back was, of course, yes.

* * *

After a short greeting and a voiceover, Dojin asked what he needed to check.

“Do you have [Crushing Strike] and [Shock Sword] skills?”

Each question was directed to Teresa and Sangsu.

Sangsu nodded first.

“It was an essential skill for a swordsman from the beginning, so I learned it. I use it quite a lot and become quite proficient.”

“Me too! It’s a skill that is essential for a hammer warrior, so I kept using it.”

Theresa also answered, holding out her battle hammer.

“By the way, are their skills important? It wouldn’t work anyway. I don’t know if it’s your magic, but won’t their attacks hurt the monsters here?”

In addition to Soso, who asked the question, Sangsu and Teresa were also curious.

Why do you ask about their ‘attack skills’?

Dojin replied with a smile.

“I know when I see it.”

As we walked and chatted, we were at the entrance to the closed iron ore mine.

* * *

The interior of the mine was full of noise.

The sound of each party’s tankers dragging monsters.

The sound of the wizard wiping out the monsters that have been cornered with magic.

Others are the screams of a party whose traffic lines are twisted and annihilated.

“sh*t! What are you going to do if you aim like that! If I was a little late, I would have been swept away too!”

“Tanker, please bring the monster properly to the designated spot. Don’t keep spilling like that. If you are swept away by the law and healer, you will be completely annihilated. Yes?”

In addition to that, there is even the sound of blaming others and swearing.

It was a very different atmosphere from instance dungeons where independent spaces were created for each individual or party.

“Come this way.”

Dojin led the hesitant party members to find the right place.

Eyes are focused on them.

The combination of no one holding a shield and members holding a battle hammer and a long sword in a hunting ground where tanks are essential was outstanding.

“What is that fresh combination?”

“Are hammer-shaped shields coming out these days?”

“It’s obvious, it’s obvious. Pretty girls are flirting with you, so you must have entered a party without a tanker. It’s more of a problem with these worker bee chicks than the queen bee. It must be a face that has been completely altered by customization anyway.”

The words you say with a smile.

Due to the severe noise, the conversation between them did not reach Dojin and the others, but the meaning could be guessed just by looking at them with a smile.

“Don’t be discouraged. What are these guys doing that upset you?”

It was the moment when Soso became annoyed at the sight of Teresa, who was hiding under the hammer and distorted.

Stones came together in a nearby place.

An iron ore golem was created.

A mixture of stone and iron, he recognized the nearest enemy as soon as he raised his large body.

“Wizard, step back! We’ll take care of it!”

As soon as she saw that, Theresa rushed forward.

So the water supply goes out.

Quaang.

The iron ore golem’s fist collided with Theresa’s hammer.

Then, they drift away from each other.

It was the effect of the skill “Slash”.

However, the iron ore golem, which had excellent physical defense and resistance, easily escaped from the impact.

An attack ensues before Theresa can gather herself.

This time, Sangsu tried to deflect the heavy fist of the iron ore golem with a longsword held obliquely.

At that moment, Dojin’s magic was completed.

Compared to wizards of the same level, casting is noticeably faster.

《Curse of Lotus》

Curse 2-star spell 「Curse of Lotus」.

A very basic curse magic that literally changes the hard to soft and lowers the opponent’s defense power passed through the golem.

Cock.

The longsword, which had slanted in to deflect the attack, was embedded in the iron ore golem’s wrist.

“uh?”

Sangsu was startled.

Of course, the sparks should fly, but the taste was very different even though the hand taste was different.

The inexperienced swordsman froze in surprise at the unexpected situation and the sword that had been stuck.

The iron ore golem’s next attack that penetrates the gap.

“Constant!”

Surprised, Theresa moved.

Instinctively, the hammer struck the golem’s shoulder.

Quang. purbubuck.

Then, the golem’s shoulder as well as the chest area were shattered as if it were collapsing, and the broken fragments splashed on Sangsu.

Sudden rain of stone and iron made Sangsu groan in embarrassment, but the damage was minor compared to being directly exposed to the golem’s fist.

The iron ore golem collapsed with a loud sound and soon changed to its original form and shattered into pieces of iron ore.

“… … .”

“… … .”

The two faced each other in a daze, unable to adapt to the situation that had arisen.

“uh… Were these kids originally… … ?”

“It wasn’t like this when I came in before… … ?”

Other people who were paying attention to the surprised Dojin party were the same.

“I-what is that? What is it that crushes iron ore golems like butter?”

“crazy! At what level can a golem be destroyed with one hit with a hammer?”

Could it be that he used some special skill?

not. It is clear that the level is high.

Not even that. Looking at the equipment, the level is similar to ours.

There are various speculations.

Even Teresa, who sent the iron ore golem to the nether road with a battle hammer, doesn’t know how she did it.

In the meantime, it was Soso who grasped the situation at least roughly.

“What do you think this one is doing?”

At Soso’s words, Sangsu and Teresa’s heads turned toward Dojin at a terrifying speed.

“Ah, too. The moment you hit it with a hammer, the magic was inserted. I’m so nervous I can’t even watch it. hahahaha.”

“No, I didn’t see either. Wow… No matter how much I know they don’t have high attack power, it’s dizzying to see a filthy big fist flying right in front of my eyes.”

Looking at the two idiots laughing, saying, “I finally understood,” Soso sighed.

“excuse me? Please explain. Did he do something? Something like black smoke was billowing from that hunk.”

“It’s just a curse. I’ve been experimenting with it, and it works. The effect is better than expected.”

Do-jin looked at his hand and made an admiring face as if he was surprised.

Unlike others, his acting skills reached the pinnacle of dexterity.

“ah… … ! Was this what you said you were going to try? But damn… Isn’t that too sweet?”

As Teresa said, curse magic consumes a lot of mana.

However, there is one secret here, and that is that a significant amount of the mana consumed goes into breaking through the magic resistance of the cursed target.

In other words, the weaker the opponent’s barrier, the easier it is to penetrate, so the amount of mana consumed is also reduced.

‘And iron ore golems have no magic resistance at all.’

There are no barriers to penetrate, and there is no minimum resistance to reduce the effect of the curse applied.

What would happen if you put a kind of curse that reduces defense on this iron ore golem?

Even the physical defense that he was proud of fell without knowing the floor.

However, it is troublesome to explain these circumstances and principles one by one.

It would have been better to catch at least one more fish at that time.

“Compared to range magic, the mana efficiency doesn’t seem to drop that much… Wouldn’t it be better to hunt like this? It’s not a situation where you can drive monsters like other parties.”

There was no objection.

Sosoya, I was in the position that it was good no matter what.

Deal was the kind of thing I wanted to do rather than Teresa and Waterworks Tank.

In the first place, the pendulum of power was leaning towards Dojin.

“The prosecutor is the fastest, so he plays the role of a chaser. Warrior-nim, if I curse you, please take care of it right away. Maybe this side will be less burdensome for the healer. If you go on a sheep hunt without a tanker, you might end up in a dangerous situation.”

The party members moved according to Dojin’s instructions.

In a situation where it was ambiguous who should lead, and reasonable instructions were given to each other, they naturally began to regard Do-jin as the leader of the party.

When the direction was set and the horses started moving according to Dojin’s instructions, the hunt was a breeze.

“Theresa! I die!”

If Sangsu drives the mob while he smokes all the bullsh*t.

《Curse of Yeonhwa》

Dojin cursed.

When something like dark smoke enveloped the golems and scattered them, Theresa, who saw it, prepared by spinning her battle hammer around like a baseball player.

“Whoah!”

It swung with a confused sound whether it was screaming or fighting spirit.

《Crushing Strike》

Then, a part of the golem explodes with a popping sound, sweeping away the golems behind it.

Attack power worthy of a warrior who went all-in on strength and attack power, even choosing a large battle hammer specialized in one-hit kills.

When Teresa crushes the entire line with a heavy attack, Sang-soo, who was a chaser, changes his role as a sub-dealer and helps finish.

Soso sprinkles heals and buffs on them to replenish their lost health and vitality.

Compared to other parties, the number of people caught at a time is small, but the overall speed and stability are much higher.

The appearance of Dojin Party, which hunts in a completely different way and kills much more monsters in the same amount of time, drew people’s attention in a different direction than the first ridicule and ridicule.
