The Heroine Saves the World

The heroine saves the world

episode 38

The boss monster battle to clear the Guerrilla Gate has begun.

“Suho, you are in charge of initiating the battle.”

Under Kang-han’s instructions, Jang Su-ho felt joy as if he had achieved his life’s purpose.

In a battle situation, the guild leader gave me a role.

That meant that he had gained trust.

‘I can finally do something.’

He has always been regarded as someone you cannot trust or rely on, or rather, as someone like a bomb that can cause a crisis.

Even he, who is like that, has now been given a role.

‘I’ll do it no matter what.’

Jang Su-ho clenched his fists as he thought about that.

And then, Kang-han took something out of the subspace and handed it over to Jang-su-ho.

It was a cast iron shield that was about half the length of Jang Su-ho’s body and had scratches here and there.

“brother.”

I could tell without you saying anything.

That Kang-han had this shield for Jang-su-ho for a long time.

“It’s a D-class item. You shouldn’t rely too much on its durability.”

It didn’t matter.

If the shield breaks, I will block it with my body.

So that no one dear to you gets hurt.

That was the role of Jang Su-ho, the shieldman.

“Brother Ji-sung, prepare for casting.”

“Okay, I understand.”

“Yoochan will find a weak point where he can hide himself and attack it to inflict maximum damage, and Yoo Eul will go in with me.”

“yes!”

“Let’s get started.”

Kang’s one word was the signal.

Jang Su-ho quickly leapt towards the Crocodile King, holding a heavy shield made of iron.

Kuung-!

A loud crash echoed through the dungeon, making it hard to believe that it was the sound of a person and a monster the size of a house colliding.

“Keep going!”

The Crocodile King was pushed back by Jiik, leaving deep claw marks on the floor.

For a moment, he was surprised at how much stronger the intruder was than he had thought, but then he opened his mouth to bite Jang Su-ho.

But before I knew it, the human holding the shield had retreated a few steps back, and my survival instincts were on red alert.

The Crocodile King twisted his body hurriedly.

But it was already too late.

Whoosh, whoosh!

A sharp sound was heard from both sides, and soon, long wounds were left on both sides by blades.

The scar wasn’t deep because of the thick hide, but it was enough to ignite the Crocodile King’s anger.

“Kuaaaah!”

Jang Su-ho, who confirmed that Lee Yu-eul and Kang-han were retreating after attacking once, pushed his shield hard towards the bastard’s mouth once more, not giving it time to properly roar.

Thud!

However, the weight transmitted through the shield was slightly different from before.

Kwajik!

The Crocodile King’s thick, sharp claws left four ghastly lines of marks on the iron shield.

The moment Jang Su-ho staggered back from the shock, the Crocodile King seized the opportunity and raised his front paw.

That was when.

Piririk-!

An arrow struck the creature’s pale belly with a thin noise, like the blowing of a flute.

It was an arrow shot by Yuchan, who had already taken up residence on a nearby tree.

“Good job, Lee Yu-chan!”

Yu-eul shouted at her younger brother and cut off the armpit of the crocodile whose center of gravity had collapsed.

“Keuh-huh!”

Thick black blood flowed from the gaping wounds that ran along the curve of the long, curved blade.

The Guild of Justice did not give the Crocodile King a chance to come to his senses.

When Jang Su-ho charges his shield with his entire body weight , Lee Yu-eul and Kang Han-i take advantage of the gap and stab him.

And then Lee Yu-chan’s long-range attack follows.

The cunning Crocodile King became increasingly furious at his increasingly disadvantaged situation.

“Kwaaaaaaaah!”

The Crocodile King simply ate ‘it’ from the collapsed temple and gained great strength, which allowed him to fight off the invaders until now.

The crocodile’s anger, which had crawled up from the bottom to become the king, was full of venom.

The three that attacked nearby were annoying, but the most threatening attack was from an archer that hid in a nearby tree and kept targeting weak points.

Finally, when the third arrow flew towards the most vulnerable eye, the creature ran towards the tree without hesitation.

Thud, thud, thud, thud.

The Crocodile King, who arrived in front of the tree where Yuchan was sitting, with an eerie rumbling of the ground, suddenly turned around and broke the tree trunk with his thick, long tail.

Boom!

“Yoochan-ah!”

The leafy tree slowly leaned sideways.

If you fall like this, the Crocodile King will be waiting right below with his mouth wide open.

But Yuchan did not put down the bow he had drawn.

Instead, he pulled the bowstring even harder, and the Crocodile King’s face appeared between the leaves.

ping!

An arrow fired from close range pierced the Crocodile King’s eyeball.

“Kueuuung! Kueuuuk!”

The Crocodile King writhed in pain, losing his senses, and Yuchan, who had fallen to the ground, was hit by its tail and was thrown far away.

“Ouch!”

Yuchan, who was pushed back and stopped after hitting his back against a thick tree, finally let out a groan of pain.

“I, a reptile, a baby.”

Jang Su-ho’s eyes turned crimson at the sight of Yoo-chan unable to even curl up due to the intense pain.

Phew, phew.

In the few seconds that he was panting like an angry beast, his black eyes were completely consumed by madness.

“Kill it, I’ll throw it away.”

Just like the Crocodile King had done a moment ago, Jang Su-ho charged.

It was an incredible speed, unimaginable considering he was carrying a large iron shield.

However, there was no body charging like before.

Jang Su-ho raised his shield high with both hands.

and.

“asleep.”

Kwajik! Kwajik! Kwajik!

“Kueeeeek!”

Even the Crocodile King’s thick hide was powerless against the Berserker’s power as he slashed down with the sharp cross-section of his shield.

Crunch! Crunch!

Every time he struck down the Crocodile King, black blood soaked Jang Su-ho’s entire body, but he had no reason left to realize such things.

His appearance as he attacked while swinging his shield, which was his protective gear, like a madman was that of a warrior, not a shieldman.

While everyone was staring blankly at the demon-like sight, Kang-han moved calmly.

“Lee Yu-chan, come to your senses.”

He said this while holding Yoo-chan, who had fallen defenselessly, and handing him over to Han Ji-seong.

“Stand back as far as you can.”

After leaving those words behind, Kang Han went straight to Lee Yu-eul.

“Ha, Han-i oppa.”

Lee Yu-eul hesitated, seemingly bewildered by her younger brother’s injury and Jang Su-ho’s transformation into a berserker.

Rather than trying to appease Yu-eul, Kang-han explained his plan in a low voice.

“Attack from outside of the guardian’s field of vision as much as possible. Berserker can only recognize one target at a time.”

“Oh, I see.”

“Especially attack the area around the wounds that Suho has already made. And… … .”

Kang Han, who had briefly relayed the operation, ran towards Jang Su-ho and the Crocodile King first.

Lee Yu-eul followed him with a stern face, wiping her face with her dirty hands.

Kwajik!

“Kaaaah!”

Now even the Crocodile King was no longer just taking hits.

It swung its front paws powerfully and repeatedly bit at Jang Su-ho’s shield in an attempt to somehow snatch it away.

Jang Su-ho, with his red eyes and crocodile ink-like blood, and the Crocodile King, who charges at you covered in blood.

It was as if two monsters were fighting fiercely.

While Kang-han took advantage of the gap and stabbed the Crocodile King with his sword into the wound on his side from across from Jang-su-ho, Lee Yu-eul cut off his tail.

“Kueeh!”

When the Crocodile King, whose tailbone had been cut off, hesitated, Kang-han stabbed him again with his sword.

It was a blow that went in all the way up to the elbow, but it missed the major organs of the giant crocodile king.

But it didn’t end there.

[Use the skill ‘Punisher’s Lightning’.]

Partsutsutsutsut-!

“Keeek!”

A golden current that started from a spark that flew from Kang-han’s eyes flowed into the Crocodile King’s body.

The Crocodile King, unable to even scream properly despite having his mouth wide open from the powerful lightning, flinched with his large body.

Kang-han, who was holding the sword with both hands and continuing to use the skill, shouted in a loud voice.

“now!”

At the same time, a powerful flow of mana was directed to one place.

Before we knew it, Han Ji-seong’s fingertips were right in front of the battlefield.

His voice, as cold as his blue eyes, spoke softly.

“Ice Spear.”

I wonder if I can call that a Spear .

Instinctively rolling to the side to avoid being hit, Yu-eul thought.

An ice spear as big as the head of a giant crocodile king shot out, shining brightly in the glaring light of the jungle dungeon.

“Ugh!”

The moment the tip of the ice spear hit right between the gaping jaws and pierced through the other head.

[ Defeated the boss monster ‘Cunning Crocodile King (C)’. ]

The system announced victory to everyone in the guild.

Everyone held their breath.

Except for one person.

“Krrrrrr.”

Berserker, who had lost his target, slowly shifted his gaze.

The aim was to find the next target.

The red eyes turned towards Han Ji-seong, where a powerful attack had just come from.

But Berserker’s gaze did not linger there for long.

The place we finally arrived at was behind Han Ji-seong.

A being that is healing Lee Yu-chan without thinking.

A being that has been causing unbearable anxiety for some time now.

“My lady. It is I, my lord.”
