Kill The Hero – Chapter 185 – Reason to Hide (1)

One of the secrets to humanity’s prosperity over the years was the fact that it didn’t stop progressing, even in the face of despair .
It was the same when the world turned into a game overnight .
Everyone despaired, but they nevertheless continued advancing in some way .
The same was true with Isaac Ivanov and the so-called ‘Hellhound Disaster’ .
But it wasn’t just despair .
[The act of terrorism was carried out by the same group that killed Kim Woo-jin!]
[The Japanese government declares war on terrorism!]
People moved to find and deal with the cause of the disaster .
[What kind of dungeon is the Hellhound Dungeon?]
[The Hellhound, the Demon of 4 Floors!]
They also began researching ways to clear the Hellhound dungeon .
However, this wasn’t to predict the probability of Isaac Ivanov’s team clearing the dungeon .
-Can’t Isaac Ivanov’s party clear the Hellhound dungeon? It’s a similar situation to the Hatchling, isn’t it?
ㄴThis is different from the time with the Hatchling dungeon . At that time, Isaac Ivanov intended to hunt it alone .
ㄴ Right, Isaac Ivanov chose to attack that dungeon because he was confident . On the other hand, this time was an accident .
ㄴ The worst possible accident .
Because even the average person understood that the difference between 3 Floor and 4 Floor dungeons wasn’t just the addition of one floor .
Nevertheless, the reason for the research and discussion on how to clear the Hellhound dungeon was simple .
[The world vows to avenge Isaac Ivanov!] (TL: again)
[The most valuable dungeon in the world appears . ]
The moment Isaac Ivanov died, the Hellhound dungeon would become the most valuable dungeon in the world .
That was why everyone in the world became interested in the Hellhound dungeon, and asked many questions to the Japanese government .
How many times had the Hellhound dungeon been challenged?
What was the number and level of the players who attacked the dungeon?
The Japanese government answered these questions easily .
“At the time of the discovery, another party had already been attacking the dungeon, after that attack failed, we tried to attack the dungeon once more, but that failed as well . There were no other attacks after that . ”
They said that there were only two attacks and those who participated weren’t particularly special .
This was definitely a positive factor .
Rather than them trying to clear the dungeon ten times and failing every time .
The problem was that the Japanese government’s announcement wasn’t true .
“Even when the nuclear plant exploded, those guys weren’t so forthcoming with the information, were they?”
Of course, Oh Se-chan would not believe the Japanese government’s announcement so easily .
He had already investigated the Hellhound dungeon beforehand .
And it didn’t take him long to figure out .
“That’s right . Otherwise, they wouldn’t have hidden the dungeon away for three years . ”
The fact that the dungeon had appeared in 2021, three years before .
“There’s nothing strange about hiding it . ”
Of course, it wasn’t unusual for them to hide the Hellhound dungeon away .
After all, the value of an rank Dungeon was quite high after all .
“But to hide something like that in Tokyo is quite hard . ”
The problem was the price they would have had to pay to keep it hidden .
Hiding a dungeon wasn’t as simple as building a tent to hide the dungeon gate .
In that case who would take care of the monsters that might escape from the dungeon?

“Right, and since it’s a 4 Floor dungeon…there might be monsters that cannot be dealt with by normal weapons . ”
And as Oh Se-chan’s subordinate had pointed out, there was a high probability of the appearance of monsters that couldn’t be dealt with by ordinary guns .
This meant that they would need to at least prepare more powerful weapons like artillery and tanks .
“And they have to hide that too . ”
The cost of hiding it would be much higher than just managing it in the open .
And to do that for three years rather than a day or two far exceeded the scope of common sense .
“We know that well don’t we? How much that would cost . ”
“We know that very well . ”
The price of that was something that Oh Se-chan and his men, who went by the name Dungeon Brokers, would know better than anyone .
“But they did it anyway…so there must be a reason . ”
In other words, Oh Se-chan couldn’t understand why the Japanese government would pay such a price for an dungeon .
And there was one more person who shared his thoughts .
“Kim Woo-jin also feels the same way . ”
…
Players who attacked 4 Floor dungeons usually failed on the fourth floor .
But that wasn’t always the case .
There were also situations where players failed 4 Floor dungeons on the third floor .
“Because everyone tried to save as much of their strength as possible for the final floor . ”
In preparation for the hard challenge, everyone would want to conserve their strength and hide their trump cards unless absolutely necessary .
It wasn’t strange that they’d feel that way .
“Especially for 4 Floor dungeons where the boss monster is named in the dungeon’s title . ”
If they knew what monster they would have to face on the fourth floor, they couldn’t help but feel that way .
It was the same for the Hellhound dungeon .

Players who entered the Hellhound dungeon would have their minds filled with the Hellhound as soon as they arrived on the third floor .
“It’s important to conserve strength . ”
Of course, this wasn’t a foolish decision .
In fact, it was a very logical and rational decision .
“But in this case, it’s the problem . ”
But as always, there were exceptions for everything .
“Because the damage can be minimized as long as you’re willing to make sacrifices and endure some of it . ”
But what if they felt it was possible to conserve more power by using a situation where the majority would live at the expense of a few?
What if they could be saved by sacrificing a few?
Then the accidents would begin to happen .
“It’s suicide to make such a decision against the boss monster of the third floor, an Ogre . ”
Moreover, when dealing with monsters like Ogres, such decisions were bound to have many accidents .
-Excuse me .
Then Lee Jin-ah’s voice was heard in the ear of Kim Woo-jin who was wearing the Grim Reaper’s mask .
The voice had been delivered through the skeleton that Kim Woo-jin was connected to .
-Why are you doing that while I’m fighting against the Ogre? Huh?
In addition, Lee Jin-ah was currently locked in combat with the Ogre boss .
-Also when will I be getting reinforcements?
In fact, he was fighting alone .
He was going against the Ogre without the support of any Skeleton Soldiers except for the small Goblin Skeleton that Kim Woo-jin was using to watch over the situation .
In such a situation, Kim Woo-jin’s mention of sacrifice made Lee Jin-ah incredibly dissatisfied .
Hearing Lee Jin-ah’s words, Kim Woo-jin spoke through the Skeleton Soldier’s mouth .

“Ogres are monsters that are hard to find . But they were also difficult to handle when you do encounter them . Battle experience can’t be bought with money so you should take this opportunity to learn everything you can . ”
-What?
“Endure it . ”
Kim Woo-jin’s words scared Lee Jin-ah greatly .
-What the hell are you saying? I thought you said you would launch an attack after I grabbed the Ogre’s aggro .
Kim Woo-jin shrugged slightly .
“That was a lie . ”
-A lie?
“Because you need to gain experience fighting against Ogre’s and you never would have faced the Ogre alone if I didn’t tell you that . ”
-Fuck, of course, I wouldn’t! It’s an Ogre! An Ogre!
It was then .
-Ugh, fuck . Fuck!
Lee Jin-ah stopped talking since he had to focus completely on the fight .
-Roar!
Soon after, the Ogre’s roar was heard .
It seemed the Ogre had learned Lee Jin-ah’s expression because of his swearing .
Kim Woo-jin, who was watching the situation through the skeleton, gave Lee Jin-ah some brief assurance .
“You won’t die, you’re wearing the Nemean Lion’s skin . ”
Of course, there was no answer to his assurance .
But Kim Woo-jin didn’t really care about that anymore .
‘I finally found it . ’
Because he had finally found what he was looking for .
[Anubis’ eyes have opened . ]
The Ogre’s nest and the remains of the players who had come before . That was what Kim Woo-jin had been looking for .
