Chapter 287 – Part 2 – The Boss Has Appeared!

“Hehehe.”

Norikane Jigoro could barely contain his laughter as he watched the party members walking away.

‘Power is such a wonderful thing. Hehe. I can create the situations I want so easily like this.’

As the team leader and the newbie disappeared into the forest, he was left alone with Do Eun-jeong just as he desired.

‘Hehe, the more I look, the more voluptuous her body is.’

The sight of Do Eun-jeong waiting for the departure signal with innocent eyes, unaware of anything, stirred a strange pleasure in him.

“Let’s go.”

Jigoro wandered through the dungeon alone with Do Eun-jeong, looking around.

It appeared he was being cautious of monsters, but in reality he was scouting for a suitable location.

‘This place looks good.’

He found a location perfect for his deed.

‘There are no traces of monsters, and if I position myself with my back to the rock, I can handle any surprise attacks too.’

Jigoro stopped in front of a rock.

“Let’s rest here for a moment.”

“Ah, yes.”

Do Eun-jeong tilted her head.

‘How far did we walk that we’re already resting…’

She didn’t know the reason, but she had no choice but to do as told.

As she stood guard with her sword drawn, watching the surroundings, Jigoro spoke.

“When you’re resting, actually rest, will you? Put away your weapon too.”

“Ah, I’m sorry.”

She wondered if this was okay, but Do Eun-jeong had no choice but to dismiss her weapon.

Since Jigoro wasn’t holding a weapon either and was relaxing comfortably.

As she stood there awkwardly without a weapon, Jigoro gestured for her to come over.

“Come here.”

Do Eun-jeong flinched and trembled as she approached.

Because Jigoro suddenly started stroking her arm.

“Your skin is smooth.”

Jigoro, who had been smiling lecherously, suddenly grabbed her wrist and twisted it, then held a dagger he had summoned to her throat.

“Why, why are you doing this!”

“It would be best to stay still. Unless you want a cut on that pretty face of yours.”

Jigoro, revealing his true nature, spun the blade in front of her eyes threateningly.

“You know the difference in our combat power, right? Resistance is useless.”

Do Eun-jeong’s combat power was around 4,000.

It couldn’t compare to Jigoro’s which exceeded 10,000.

“Wh-why are you suddenly being scary like this, Supervisor…”

“Why? Because I like you.”

Seeing the supervisor scanning her body with bloodshot eyes, Do Eun-jeong belatedly realized what the supervisor wanted.

“P-please don’t do this.”

“Hehe, even your frightened appearance is pretty. You’re the most appealing among the women I’ve worked on recently.”

As Jigoro smiled and sneakily tried to undress her, Do Eun-jeong resisted firmly.

“Tsk tsk, if you’re going to be this uncooperative, nothing good will come of it.”

Jigoro held the dagger to her throat again.

“You see, I may be working as a supervisor now, but I’ve killed quite a few people as an assassin. Killing one like you would be nothing. Frankly, if I kill you here and say you were eaten by monsters, that would be the end of it, wouldn’t it?”

“P-please spare me.”

“I have no intention of killing you right away. If you cooperate well from now on, I’ll at least spare your life. It would be even better if you’re enthusiastic about it. Who knows? I might cherish you for a long time. Hehe.”

“…”

When Do Eun-jeong stayed still, thinking she understood, Jigoro tried to undress her again.

For Do Eun-jeong, who wasn’t mentally prepared yet, it couldn’t help but be confusing.

“P-please don’t do this!”

When Do Eun-jeong shook off his arm, Jigoro frowned.

“What? Do you really want to die?”

When he showed the dagger with murderous eyes, only one thought came to Do Eun-jeong’s mind.

‘F-first, let me buy time. Then somehow a way to escape will appear.’

Do Eun-jeong smiled and tried to appease Jigoro.

“I-it’s not that, but isn’t it a bit dangerous to do it in a dungeon? There are monsters here too, so wouldn’t it be better to do it outside…”

“You don’t need to worry about that. With the rock behind my back, there’s no chance of being ambushed, and even if Worwolves appear, it won’t be too late to deal with them. I may not look it, but my agility is nearly 150.”

“Wow… r-really? That’s amazing.”

While agreeing with Jigoro’s boasting, Do Eun-jeong was busy thinking of ways to escape.

“Well then, shall we begin?”

“Ah, um… couldn’t we move locations? Doing it on this dirt ground is a bit…”

“What does the location matter? Isn’t it more thrilling to do it outdoors?”

“B-but if the team leader comes back and sees us…”

“The team leader? Kekeke.”

The corners of Jigoro’s mouth turned up.

It was clear mockery.

“Tsk tsk, how can you be so clueless? Don’t you realize the team leader is in on this too?”

“What? What do you mean…”

“Do you think it’s a coincidence that you and I ended up on the same team? Why do you think I let the team leader and newbie hunt separately? Without party members nearby, I can’t even see what items were obtained in the messages.”

“S-surely not…”

“The team leader knew from the beginning. That I wanted you. Even knowing that, he sold you out to me. When I actually asked, he agreed to help without hesitation. Very enthusiastically.”

“Th-that’s…”

“So don’t think about trying to buy time. The team leader won’t appear until the time limit is over.”

“…!”

When Do Eun-jeong looked at him with a shocked expression, Jigoro chuckled.

“Why are you looking at me like that? Did you think I was that clueless? Every woman I rape tries to escape and buy time, how could I not know? Kekeke.”

At that moment, one word came to Do Eun-jeong’s mind.

Screwed.

‘He noticed everything…’

Having come this far, Do Eun-jeong decided to mention Yang Jo-young as a last resort.

“If you touch me, Hunter Yang Jo-young won’t let it slide!”

“Would he really? The Hunter Yang I know isn’t someone who shows affection to mere subordinates…”

“…”

“Even if that weren’t the case, I could just play dumb and say I never touched you.”

“Hunter Yang Jo-young would never believe that…”

“He would. If it were you, would you trust a newbie who just joined, or would you trust my word when I’m established in the Association? I think it’s the latter.”

“…”

“So you should give up and enjoy it too. It’s no fun if only I’m enjoying it, right?”

Jigoro grinned and slowly approached.

Just as Do Eun-jeong, thinking she had no choice, tried to summon her sword for a surprise attack.

Crack!

“Ahhhhh!”

Jigoro, who had approached at some point, broke her wrist so she couldn’t hold a weapon.

“That’s why you shouldn’t resist. Since you have to do it anyway, wouldn’t it be better for you too if we take it easy?”

“Ahhhh…” Her wrist was broken so she couldn’t summon a weapon.

For her, a swordsman, this was the worst situation.

‘But I can’t use magic either…’

She could summon a sword in her unbroken left hand, but since she wasn’t used to it, she would need time to adapt.

‘Still, I should try everything I can.’

But as if seeing through such thoughts.

Grab-

Jigoro quickly grabbed Do Eun-jeong’s remaining wrist.

Crack-

“Ahhhhhhh!”

“Now you can’t summon weapons with either hand. Without weapons, you can’t use skills either. Hehe.”

“Ahhh…”

The moment both wrists were broken, the game was over.

Do Eun-jeong was now no different from an ordinary woman.

“P-please… please stop!”

“Hehe…”

She tried to push Jigoro away with force, but with her naturally low strength stats, there was nothing she could do.

‘Ugh, no. I need to quickly find another way…’

“Geez! Can’t you just stay still?”

Just as Jigoro, annoyed by her struggling, raised his fist.

“S-Supervisor!”

At a third party’s voice, Jigoro’s head snapped up.

“Wh-what? Who’s that?”

Choi Seong-min, who had left with the team leader, was approaching with a bloodied appearance, limping.

“Ahem.”

Jigoro, who had been about to rape Do Eun-jeong, cleared his throat and stood up.

With both wrists broken, Do Eun-jeong was no longer a threat.

Choi Seong-min, who had come close, was panting.

“Y-you were here, Supervisor. Huff, huff…”

“What’s that? That state you’re in?”

“I was… attacked.”

“Attacked? By whom?”

“I don’t know. It seemed like a monster… all I could see were red eyes.”

‘Red eyes…’

A monster came to Jigoro’s mind.

‘A Red-eyed Worwolf appeared?’

The boss of the Worwolf dungeon that was invisible except for its eyes.

From the testimony, it was definitely that one.

‘Of all times, why now? Damn!’

What was this at the very moment he should be enjoying himself?

“What about the team leader?”

“Th-the team leader… was taken.”

“Taken? You mean he’s dead?”

“I was too busy running away to see properly… but probably. Ugh…”

Looking at Choi Seong-min’s staggering state, it seemed he had barely escaped.

‘The team leader is dead. So I have to catch the boss alone…?’

Right now, catching the boss was more important than Do Eun-jeong.

He could embrace a woman anytime, but the opportunity to meet a boss didn’t come easily.

‘If I catch the boss, I can get massive rewards, but the fighting power is lacking.’

The team leader, who was the strongest after himself, was dead, and both of the weaklings with combat power below 4,000 were injured.

But catching the boss alone was indeed burdensome.

‘Nothing’s going right.’

As Jigoro grumbled internally, he suddenly realized a fact he had overlooked.

‘The boss being still alive means… it could come this way too, right?’

Even though Jigoro was D-rank, he was afraid to face a Red-eyed Worwolf alone.

“You stupid bastard! Bringing the boss here!”

Jigoro angrily shouted at Choi Seong-min.

“If you keep dripping blood like that, won’t the boss smell it and follow you?”

“S-sorry.”

“You should have died there instead of coming all the way here! Quickly look around to see if the boss is nearby!”

“Y-yes!”

Jigoro, who had been grumbling, also kept watch of the surroundings.

Since Red-eyed Worwolves were only visible by their eyes, they weren’t easy to find.

That’s when it happened.

A strange sound suddenly came from behind Jigoro.

Thunk-

“Huh?”

Jigoro turned his head and was momentarily confused.

Because the newbie had suddenly struck Do Eun-jeong’s back of the head, knocking her unconscious.

“What are you doing?”

“Ah, this?”

In the midst of confusion, Choi Seong-min smiled.

“I didn’t want to create a witness.”

“Did this guy hit his head?”

Just as Jigoro, noticing the change in speech, was about to say something.

“B-b-boss! Red-eyed Worwolf!”

At Choi Seong-min’s shout, Jigoro tensed up and turned his head in the direction he pointed.

“What? There’s nothing there? Where is it…”

The moment he turned his gaze back.

Stab-

A dagger pierced into one of Jigoro’s eyes.
