At one point, the three threw them to the floor in anger.

who are you kidding?

Why do three identical items pop up in a row?!

If it hadn’t been for the last item, I would have split that Mimic in half right away.

No, since I took out everything to take out anyway, I have to get rid of it.

“Kwaebi.”

─Kei!

He raised his thumb and made a gesture of slitting his neck.

Farewell, Mimic.

It’s your fault for spitting out three shit items.

fast. Mimic ended his life due to Kkaebi’s hitting with a bat. do not pay off.

“Still, I’m glad I got this one.”

Take a look at the last item that came out.

[Blue flower not in full bloom (D)]

■???

An item that can only be appraised with precision measuring tools.

However, the information about this flower is already in my head.

Full bloom series.

It is an item that is the main ingredient for potions, and blue flowers that are not in full bloom are used to make mana recovery potions.

‘This isn’t bad enough.’

Even if you can’t get a D-class item, it’s over 1 million won.

It can be seen that the price is vastly different from D-class artifacts, which form a market price of 50,000 won to 200,000 won.

And the blue flowers that have not fully bloomed are currently valued at a whopping 2 million. You can make more than 100 mana potions, a D-class artifact, with just one blue flower.

Aren’t they too cheap compared to potions?

The quality of the potion depends on the Alchemist’s skill.

It was only natural that the price of raw materials was much lower than that of the finished product.

As I was stuffing the items into my backpack, Baek So-ah, who came up behind me, said with a complex and delicate expression.

“It’s crazy, really. You can get items from mimics like this? More than that, how do you know how to do this… No, no, that’s it.”

Baek So-ah shook her head once and said,

He spoke with a very serious face.

“I’ll keep what I saw today a secret.”

“yes? Is it a secret?”

“How to get items from Mimic. Wouldn’t you hate the spread of this exclusive information?”

“You don’t like it? Not even special information. It doesn’t matter if you register your information with the association.”

“···What?”

“Useful information is good for many people to know. I have no desire to eat alone.”

Her eyes widened momentarily.

I am often surprised today.

It’s a bit ridiculous, but it’s much nicer to look at than frowning.

Baek So-ah constantly sent suspicious eyes as she packed the items and left the hidden boss room.

“Hey. Be honest. Aren’t you Hyunseong Lee?”

“What are you talking about?”

“No, it is. Even if it’s different from the image I showed you for the past 3 months, it should be moderately different. Did the Gaegwacheonseon beam even hit?”

“What kind of beam is that… People can change a bit.”

“Not a little.”

“Stop talking nonsense and now there is only the right road left, so let’s hurry up.”

I took it as a pointless joke and laughed bitterly.

Nevertheless, the questioning, whether suspicious or a joke, continued.

Even as I entered the last route, the road on the right.

“Have you ever had a head injury? Didn’t the moneylenders just come and beat you?”

“I am not hurt. And why did the moneylender come to me?”

Even while watching Kaebi and Chloe subjugate over 200 dwarves.

“But how much debt do you have?”

“Why are you suddenly in debt?”

“You can’t hide it. You’re in trouble right now because you’re in debt. Right?”

“There is no debt. But it’s not that much, and it’s not a difficult situation. What are you misunderstanding?”

“Okay, that’s it. It’s true that you have debt. Hmm…”

Even on the way to the boss room.

“I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, but even if it’s true that my personality has changed, the attitude of exploring dungeons isn’t something I’ve done once or twice. I mean, it’s so sophisticated. It’s also a question of knowing the Mimic’s strategy.”

“Among the top foreign explorers, there must be quite a few people who know about the Mimic, right? It’s just not disclosing information.”

“I mean, why do you know information that the association doesn’t know?”

“Shouldn’t you know everything that the association doesn’t know? Also, since mimics don’t appear often in Korea, isn’t it why they didn’t collect information?”

“…Well, it could be.”

Baek So-ah’s barrage of questions continued without a break.

It felt like I was on an outing rather than exploring.

It would have been unimaginable if it were a common low-level explorer.

In a dungeon like a battlefield, gossip and explore? Anyone who sees it will treat you as a patient suffering from insensitivity to safety.

Unlike her relatively relaxed,

I was busy keeping an eye on the front while arguing moderately.

“Are you there already?”

“I know.”

Then, before I knew it, I reached the front of the boss room.

The time Baek So-ah casually pushed the door of the boss room.

The word “insensitivity to safety” that I had just thought of a while ago circulated in my head again, and a dungeon trap that I had forgotten for a while momentarily came to mind.

I’m sure it was said that an arrow would fly at the same time as opening the door…?

Before he had time to tell him to stop, Baek So-ah had already opened the door wide.

“If you have a summoner, low-level dungeons are definitely comfortable. Even the boss room is so leisurely…”

Baek So-ah, not looking ahead, still turned her head to me.

On the other hand, my gaze was fixed on the front.

Hey profit! An arrow is seen rushing through the wind.

The target is the first person to open the door.

In other words, arrows were flying towards Baek So-ah’s face.

There was no time to worry or think.

I instinctively reached out my arms toward the defenseless woman.

Pooh-!

With my hand as a shield,

I barely blocked one of the arrows that were aiming at her face.

“Uh, uh…?”

“Take it easy…”

If I had known it would be like this, I would have kept the bandage on.

Red blood dripped from the palm pierced by the arrow.

it hurts so bad

Because the durability is low, it just pierces like a piece of paper.

I regret so much.

Why did I do this?

It was really a bit of a no-brainer.

Baek So-ah could have easily avoided it, or even hit it without much damage.

‘A habit from when I was a hero came out on my own.’

It’s a past life habit.

Hero’s mindset 7.

When nearby citizens are exposed to danger, protect them even by throwing yourself away.

It can be said that it is a habit that was forcibly instilled like brainwashing in a hero training institution.

I need to fix this habit soon.

‘Cause I’m no longer a hero

The most precious thing is my life.

There is no reason to sacrifice oneself to save people.

“… Baek So-ah. Catch the boss so I can remove the arrows.”

“uh? uh, uh!”

He groaned and raised his arms. To ease the pain in his swollen palm, he pressed down with his other hand. Since he couldn’t pull out the arrow like this, the wisest course of action was to quickly catch the boss and destroy the arrow. Dungeon bound items disappear without leaving any form when the monster dies.

Baek So-ah, who was embarrassed, came to her senses and emitted flames from both hands.

ㅡKiki Kiki Kick!

“What are you splitting, you crazy dwarf bastard!”

Baek So-ah’s face crumpled.

Towards the boss ‘Dwarf Captain’ who taunted us while grabbing his belly button, he stretched out both hands and spewed out pillars of fire. The range was about to cover the entire cave.

ㅡKieheek!

The dwarf captain, who had no place to escape, was swept away by the flames, his whole body being burned, and finally scattered as ashes.

Wow. Just take this in one shot.

In times like these, I really envy the finished job.

Even if the dwarf captain is a 2-star monster.

Since it’s a dungeon boss, it must have been calibrated to be stronger than a normal object.

It was a moment of admiration.

I saw the arrow that had pierced my hand slowly disappear.

Then, dark red blood flowed from the hole in the palm of his hand.

The whole arm trembled.

As the wound interlocked with the wind, I could feel the tearing pain beyond the tingling.

“Hey! it’s okay?”

Baek So-ah hurriedly approached and grabbed my hand.

“Be patient! I’ll treat you right away!”

I wondered what he had brought in the small bag on his side, but it seems he brought a recovery potion. Preparedness is good.

Baek So-ah opened the stopper of the flask containing the potion, and poured the potion onto my palm without delay.

It stung at first, but that was for a while.

A warm, fuzzy feeling wrapped around the palm of my hand.

In less than a minute, the miracle of new skin sprouting quickly occurred.

I guessed that he would have a high-quality potion because he was rich, but I didn’t expect such a fraudulent effect.

…What kind of potion did you bring?

I repeated opening and closing my hands.

It runs fine with no problems.

see the effect crazy this

“Hey.”

As I stared blankly at my hand, I heard Baek So-ah’s cool voice.

“why?”

“What are you going to do?”

“What are you talking about?”

“Where is the madman who stretches out his hand to block arrows?”

“…what do I do with the reflexive protrusion? I can’t just watch you get hit.”

“Even if I was right anyway… No, that’s it.”

Baek So-ah sighed and turned her head.

why do you get angry

Although there are some aspects that are slightly different from the description in the novel, most of them seem to be similar.

I didn’t even want to say thank you.

Because I know you’re like that.

I guess so.

He’s not the kind of person to say thank you for just blocking an arrow.

During the novel’s completion, I have never seen Baek So-ah say thank you to anyone in the work.

Not even once.

yes. It must have been.

“…Anyway, what is it? ······First of all, thank you.”

now i don’t know what

Have I read another novel?
