However, the attack was just the beginning. On top of the tree, dozens of goblins that had been hiding there appeared to join in the battle. They threw bags filled with sticky liquid to the Hunters.
Splat! Splat!
"What's this?"
"This is sticky, disgusting!"
"Focus on the battle!"
The goblins continued to throw the sticky liquid at them. Thanks to that, the movements of the hunters were interrupted. Many of them started to be pushed into the pit.
Splat! Splat! Splat!
The monsters continued to suppress the Hunters.
"Fuck! This sticky liquid is annoying! Should we finish off the goblins above?" one of the hunters exclaimed in annoyance.
Several Hunters tried to flip the table. They cast fire magic with the intention of burning the tree up there. However, they were the ones who were burning by the fire.
"Kuaarghh!"
The sticky liquid turned out to be a flammable material, such as oil. As a result, in a matter of minutes, the fire spread quickly.
"You fool!" Park Jisung couldn't hold back his anger when he saw the carelessness of his comrades.
The screams and the scorched smell of flesh wafted through the air. The situation became increasingly out of control. One by one, his men died, either pushed into a trap hole or burned alive.
Now, it was the turn of the monsters who took control of the situation.
"Kuarrrrrgghh!"
Splat! Splat! Splat!
3000… 2500… 1500… The number of the Hunters troops began to decrease rapidly.
Park Jisung clenched his fists. He felt angry and hopeless at the same time.
"I had no choice… there had to be a survivor."
The man quickly jumped high and plunged into the sea of monsters. Then, he broke through the rows of the enemy. His men were confused by his actions.
"Where did he go?!"
"Commander! Do not go!"
"He left us!"
Park Jisung could hear the screams of his men who were left behind. He ignored them and focused on breaking through the monster defenses. He no longer saw any hope in his men.
After that, he dashed as hard as he could to leave the scene of the massacre.
"I have to report to the President. This dungeon… is very dangerous."
While trying to escape, Park Jisung had to stop his footsteps. A mysterious figure stood in his way. The man wore a masquerade mask and had blaze-like hair. An immense pressure radiated from him.
Park Jisung raised his vigilance spontaneously. However, he did not rush to take action. He looked at Isaac from head to toe.
"Judging by your appearance… I'm sure you're different from all of them, aren't you?"
Isaac seemed to show some interest in Park Jisung. "You are right."
A wide smile appeared on Park Jisung's face.
"My name is Park Jisung. I am the Guild master of the Heavenly Dragon Guild, as well as the Hunter Representative from North Korea."
"Then?"
Park Jisung saw an opportunity. "I know very well the ins and outs of the government. Since I was the strongest Hunter there, my position was very high. I can be your subordinate."
He wasn't sure if he could beat the man, so he chose to lick the man's shoes. Isaac also seemed interested in him.
"Become my minion?"
Park Jisung confidently said, "Yes, that's right. If you are willing, I can give you a lot of advantages."
"What's that?"
"Whatever you want. Minerals, gold, metals, all kinds of resources; you name it, I can give. Including the human soldiers." Park Jisung smirked after saying the last sentence.
After his encounter with Goyo, he learned that every monster in the Dungeon had its own characteristics. Some were intelligent, some were nothing more than wild animals. They were different, but they had one thing in common. Every monster had an interest in something.
In Goyo's case, the chief of the dwarf tribe was interested in mining material. As for this mysterious person he had just met, judging from his appearance, the man was not just a random monster. Park Jisung had never seen and heard information about a monster who had such manners as Isaac before.
He thought that Isaac was the ruler of this Dungeon, although this was still just a guess.
Seeing Isaac, who was silent for a long time, made Park Jisung feel confident that the mysterious figure would accept his offer.
"Okay."
Instantly, Park Jisung smiled triumphantly. However, Isaac had not finished his sentence.
"Now, I want you to kill yourself."
Park Jisung's hopes were shattered into pieces. He did not understand.
"Wait… if my words are not clear, I can give you what you want. Even the human soldiers. I can give it to you."
Isaac threw his dagger and stabbed it into the ground, right under Park Jisung's feet.
"I don't need corpse candidates like them. What's more, I don't need someone like you. Not only did you fail to lead your men, but you also betrayed them and your country. Do you think I need someone like you?"
Cold sweat started pouring down his temples. Park Jisung immediately kneeled in front of the man, begging for forgiveness.
"I beg you, Sir! Please spare my life! Please! I have children and a wife! If I die, what will happen to them? No one can protect them, except me. Especially my son, he is only 6 years old! Please!"
Isaac chuckled. "Look at you, you are getting more and more pathetic, hiding behind your wife and children."
Park Jisung banged his head on the ground so many times, hoping for forgiveness, making the blood dripping down his forehead. His actions were futile. He sought a glimmer of mercy from a demon.
Cleak!
Isaac pointed a gun at him. "Now choose, die by your own hands or you'd rather die with your brains splattered on the ground. It is my form of forgiveness."
Park Jisung stopped banging his head. His body trembled, he realized that there was no chance for him to live. However, his survival instinct was very strong. When a rat was cornered, it would eventually fight back.
"Hyaaaaa!"
Park Jisung got up and put all his strength into his last attack. 'Hardening' made his body hard like a diamond. He quickly ran into the enemy in front of him. Then— Bang!
Splaat!
He hadn't had time to fight yet. The man died with his head busted.
"Your level is the lowest among the three guild masters. I've given you a chance to die with honour, but you'd rather die like an animal. Have all humans sold their pride?"
Isaac holstered his gun. Then, he quickly walked away from the headless body.
