The boss monster Barg is at minimum an A-grade monster.
While I could leisurely defeat it if I took my time, Yoo Eun-seol did not delay.
The six wolves that were guarding were Barg’s guardian monsters.
They were targeting the party members in the back.
I had to swiftly take down the boss and go assist them.
“Bloom a single flower.”
The ultimate skill unfolds without hesitation.
[Snow Plum Blossom]’s [Snowy Drifting Plum Blossom].
[Snowy Drifting Plum Blossom] is a skill used together with rune magic.
Moving the two short swords at an extremely fast speed, it continuously slashes and cuts the opponent.
The path of the cuts is from the opponent’s knees to the calves behind them.
It viciously cuts both the front and back, leaving massive scars.
The blood that blooms like flowers within.
The falling petals were not my plum blossoms, but the opponent’s blood.
Barg, an A-grade monster, could not withstand that lethal move for even 10 seconds.
Gruhh…
Thud!
The huge body fell onto the rocky mountain, making a loud noise.
I, who had instantly taken down the boss monster, immediately moved my body.
Since the mage Kim Chae-eun was afflicted by an abnormal status, Do Jae-hyun was solo tanking.
As a fellow party member, and as a senior Holder…
I had to go help them…
“…Huh?”
Having dashed to the entrance of the boss room in one breath, I was bewildered.
The wolf-type B-grade monsters that were clearly six in number…
Were all lying defeated as corpses.
And the wounds engraved all over their bodies.
Were clearly traces left by a sword.
Wolves defeated by physical attacks, not magic.
It meant the warrior Do Jae-hyun alone had taken down all six wolves.

“Holder Do Jae-hyun? How did this…”
“Ah, haha…”
Do Jae-hyun smiles awkwardly as he scratches his head.
Seeing that, Yoo Eun-seol realized she had misunderstood something.
‘He wasn’t an ordinary C-grade.’
When they first entered the dungeon, honestly, she was disappointed.
She finally found a Holder with the ‘aura of a dragon’, and his skills also seemed decent.
She even went so far as to save him from a crisis…
But he introduced himself as a C-grade Holder.
An ordinary student Holder attending the academy.
And this fell short of the criteria for the party member Yoo Eun-seol was looking for.
Minimum B-grade.
And that was the minimum, he had to surpass A-grade.
Even if Yoo Eun-seol wanted to raid…
To raid the dungeon <The River Touched by the Breath of a Dragon>, considered the highest difficulty in history. She couldn’t bring a mere C-grade Holder.
‘Was he hiding his strength?’
But as they challenged the dungeon together.
His exceptionally outstanding skills began to stand out.
Do Jae-hyun perfectly fulfilled his role as the tanker in a 3 person party split into damage dealer, tanker, and support.
He blocked the monsters’ attacks sturdily at the front without any particular injury, and sometimes defeated the monsters himself when Yoo Eun-seol’s attacks didn’t reach.
And now, the battle inside the boss room.
By ‘almost solely physical attacks’, he alone defeated six B-grade monsters.
Introducing himself as a C-grade Holder…
He proved without a doubt that he was by no means at an average C-grade level.
“The rest room… seems to have appeared where the boss was sitting.”
Yoo Eun-seol didn’t bother asking.
Why was Jae-hyun so much stronger than ordinary C-grades, or what was the trace of electrocution left on the wolves’ corpses…
That process was merely in the realm of curiosity.
What was important was the result.
The result that Do Jae-hyun was the ‘special Holder’ she was looking for.
“I’ll give up the rewards from the rest room. I hope you two can split it.”
“…Eh?”
At the sudden declaration, the two were bewildered.
Do Jae-hyun waved his hands busily and spoke urgently.
“That doesn’t make sense. When Holder Yoo Eun-seol took care of most of the hunting…”
“But didn’t I see Holder Do Jae-hyun handle it alone just now?”
As Do Jae-hyun made an embarrassed expression, Yoo Eun-seol smiled slightly.
“I’m joking. If you had enough time, the two of you could have cleared the dungeon together. Since I directly experienced that, giving up the rewards should be no burden. Rather, I have something to discuss alone with Holder Do Jae-hyun…”
Yoo Eun-seol turned to look at Kim Chae-eun.
“Could you give us some space? You can go check out the rest room.”
“The t-two of you?”
Embarrassment colored Kim Chae-eun’s face.
More than talk of giving up the rest room rewards, she seemed much more surprised that Yoo Eun-seol had something to discuss alone with Do Jae-hyun.
“Yes. It’ll be quick.”
“Ugh…”
Kim Chae-eun lowered her head and let out a groan.
Then after alternately glancing between Do Jae-hyun and Yoo Eun-seol, seemingly agonizing over it…
She finally nodded reluctantly.
“I understand… senior.”
In an extremely deflated voice.
Kim Chae-eun entered the rest room alone.
Not knowing the reason, Yoo Eun-seol simply nodded.

“Dungeon raid?”
After Kim Chae-eun left for the rest room.
A conversation on the rocky mountain hillside.
At Yoo Eun-seol’s sudden words, I asked back in bewilderment.
What could an S-grade Holder like Yoo Eun-seol have to discuss alone with me…
The proposal I got from her was, surprisingly.
Forming a ‘2 person party’ for raiding a specific dungeon.
