Requiem Of A Failed Hero

'This situation doesn't look good,' Chunho thought to himself, but he didn't dare say anything in front of Raith, who acted as if he had everything under control.

The issue was that they had hit yet another dead end, making it ten dead ends so far, and they were still nowhere close to the monsters' lair. The last time Raith had killed a yeti was probably an hour ago.

The worst part was that Raith had no sense of direction.

"Sir, Hunter Raven. I think we're lost," Chunho said, finally breaking the silence.

This made Raith visibly uncomfortable since he wanted to maintain his cool demeanor around Chunho.

"Yeah, I think you're right," Raith admitted, looking up at the tall mountain in front of them.

"Think the yetis are up there?" he asked.

"No, we would have seen traces of them if they were," Chunho replied. He took a deep breath and suggested, "I think I should lead the way."

"Why?" Raith asked, raising an eyebrow.

"I have a search skill that allows me to sense where monsters are," Chunho explained confidently, not showing any signs of being intimidated by Raith's presence.

Raith nodded, rubbing his cheek.

"That makes sense. You do your thing," he said, allowing Chunho to take the lead.

As requested, Chunho activated his search skill, causing a circular shockwave to spread far and wide. His eyes glowed blue as he waited for something to catch his attention.

Whim!

The shockwave dissipated, and Chunho's glowing eyes returned to normal.

Raith looked at him with haste and amazement, "You've found the location?"

Chunho nodded, "Yes."

"Fenrir..."contemporary romance

Raith called out, and a large amount of smoke, as dark as the void itself, burst out of Raith's feet and transformed into a massive wolf.

Raith grabbed Chunho's collar and, '

Air leap'

The two of them soared into the air and landed on Fenrir's back.

"Fenrir, follow the direction this man points us towards," Raith commanded, turning to look at Chunho, who was frozen in a state of extreme shock.

'What is this?!! A-a-a monster?' Chunho gazed up at Raith with a crumbling expression, as if a colossal boulder was about to crush him, and he had no way of escaping.

Raith snapped him out of his daze, tapping his back and asking once more, "The location?"

"Ah, there!" He pointed forward, and Fenrir, already warming up its leg, dashed forward. Each step caused a splattering disturbance and quaking of the snow as the wolf ran with all its speed.

...

Thanks to the hunter's skill, the group of new recruits was still alive. Even an A-rank should not be underestimated.

As the third yeti charged toward them, Joon-Ho shouted, "Spread out!"

The recruits quickly moved, each taking a different side of the beast. Though they were terrified, their composure was commendable.

Just as they spread out and surrounded the remaining two yetis, having killed the first one, Joon-Ho saw one of the yetis trying to grab one of them with its massive claws.

He quickly activated his ability and ran toward the beast. His vambraces expanded with a bright, glowing light, forming a large gauntlet charged with Joon-Ho's magical energy.

As the yeti's claws came down, Joon-Ho dodged them and struck the beast with his weapon, creating a massive shockwave from its back. Causing the monster to fly away from the impact.

The recruits quickly attacked the remaining yeti from all sides. One of the mages dispelled an ice spell, freezing the yeti's feet, while the other mage created shields around the female, green-haired damage dealer that the yeti aimed at.

The fight was intense, with the yeti swinging its massive arms and the recruits dodging and striking whenever they had the chance.

As the fight wore on, Joon-Ho began to notice that the yeti seemed to be getting angrier and more powerful with each passing minute.

'We have to finish this fight as quickly as possible.' He ran towards the yeti, dodging its swipes, and struck it back with his gauntlet, expelling a massive burst of blue magic energy into it.

The yeti roared in pain, its cry soaring into the sky more of a call than a death cry.

The yeti, with the last of its strength, turned towards Hunter Joon-Ho.

Not daring to take any more chances, Hunter Joon-Ho quickly activated the special ability of his gauntlet again, and it immediately burst out an even greater energy blast that left a wider hole in the yeti's body.

"Wow..." Hyon-U's face was filled with admiration for Joon-Ho, who was the deciding factor in their victory in the death match.

The hunters were standing around the yeti's lifeless body, panting and covered in sweat.

Joon-Ho turned to them and said, "Great job, everyone. But this is not the end..." He knew that they had all tried their best and with this, he had confirmed their skills and potential.

He looked forward, frowning his face towards where likely would be the direction of their lair, '...if there are more yetis in there, wouldn't it be best to go back? These guys are definitely strong. Three A ranks, four B ranks, and three C ranks. This is not enough to clear an A-rank dungeon, but hyungnim assigned this place to us.' His eyes stayed ahead but squinted like he was beginning to suspect something.

But before he could give reasoning to his suspicion, they were surrounded from all sides by tens of yetis that marched towards them, a mixture of both hunchback and straight-backed ones, with one standing out due to the spiked club it held in its hand.

"For real this time... We are doomed." Hunter Joon-Ho muttered to himself.

The recruits were immediately plagued with shaking limbs and paled faces. As if they had not had enough, the ground suddenly began to vibrate, the vibration was so much that all of them were sure– they thought the yeti with the club was the boss monster but with the ground trembling this hard, how could they not think otherwise.
