Chapter 66: Chapter 65: Kill Stealing Isn’t Bad Manners, Part 2 (2/2)

--------------

-They're doing pretty well, aren't they?- The party's teamwork was top notch. The three damage dealers attacked the Stone Golem at the exact moment Shin Hyuk held the Golem's aggro. Shin Hyuk didn't let himself be stopped by the Stone Golem's attacks, either. Every time he was pushed back or fell, he got right back up and charged back in. It was simple, but a widely used technique, if the tank was good enough.

”Heal, Flourishing Cure Incense!” The healer, Chun Song Yi, was healing Shin Hyuk every time he got damaged. She also used an AoE healing spell so that the damage dealers could restore at least a little bit of their health.

”What percent is it at?” Shin Hyuk, asked as he retreated once more.

”It's a 3% now. If we keep this up, we can finish it within 5-10 minutes. We five can defeat an eight-man boss raid!”

”Let me know when it's at 1%. We're going to change history today!”

”Yes!” Chun Song Yi shouted in a shaky voice, as if what Shin Hyuk said got her all worked up. However, to me, it sounded as if she was inviting me to burst in.

I slowly crept into the boss room. I had covered my face with a shirt and I made my armor visible. Now what? My clothes smelled a little off from being stuck in the suitcase for four years straight. The shirt I randomly pulled out had a large duck printed on it. I ripped holes in the duck's eyes so that I could see through it and tightly tied the shirt around my head.

”Is that all I need to do? Ah. Open Stats Menu!...”

I gained two levels traveling through the Seorak dungeon. It was only 40 Stat points in all, but I wanted this to be perfect and put them all into my STR.

”My first target is the healer. I'll stealthily take her out, and then take out the archer. If I can take both of them out at once, it would be perfect.” I tightened my hold on my trusty greatsword's grip.

”I'm ready.” At the same time, I heard the healer speak out. ”The Stone Golem's health is at 2% now!”

I moved as soon as she spoke.

The healer kept herself at a far distance from the fight and stood the closest to the door to the safe room. She was in the perfect position to be my first target.

I barely walked five steps and I was right behind her. Not a single one of them noticed me approach. I walked right up to her and stabbed her in the back with my greatsword.

Because of her weak physical DEF, the blade easily went through and came out her front.

”Haah!” Air escaped from the healer's mouth like air escaping a balloon. I wasn't here to revel in the sound and quickly covered her mouth with my hand. I wrapped my elbow around her neck.

”Urgh…guh…” The healer gasped to try to breathe, but could only look at me with confused and indignant eyes. She could only see my eyes through the eyeholes I made.

”You're from the Yung Gong Guild, right? Nice to meet ya.” The healer struggled to get away from me, but with the blade still impaling her through her back and my chokehold on her, it was all in vain. Soon, she lost all strength in her body and collapsed. She couldn't last long with her low VIT.

The archer was my next target. I approached carefully, as this was the guy who had taken command of the party in Shin Hyuk's stead. The archer was so completely focused on the battle and the Stone Golem in front of him that he didn't notice me behind him. I came up right behind him and quickly thrust my sword at him to stab him in the back. The blade managed to sink in but thanks to his high AGI, he rolled forward the moment he felt the blade enter him. He actually managed to avoid the brunt of the attack with his quick reaction, but the damage was already done.

I walked towards him.

”Gah! Who the hell are you?” Shin Hyuk and the other two damage dealers finally turned to look at me when they heard the archer's scream. They just stood there, staring at me, confused as to what was going on.

”Duck…Duck?” Dumbfounded, the archer looked up at me and asked, half to me and half to himself.

Rather than reply, I charged at the archer to take him out first. The archer hadn't gotten back up from rolling yet, and I tackled him with my shoulder and shoved him to the ground. I hit him in the face with the pommel of my sword.

”Motherf...! What the fuck…get off!” The archer swore and brought his hands up to try to cover his face, but I was too strong for him to block any of my attacks.

”Gek!” With one final blow, the archer's head split open and the archer died, his body disappearing in a cloud of smoke. Shin Hyuk and the other two remained frozen on the spot. They just stared at me, eyes wide open.

I turned to Shin Hyuk and spoke to him.

”Hey. You're going to get hit if you just stand there.”

”Oh, crap!” The Stone Golem swung kicked at Shin Hyuk and struck his side. Unable to properly defend against the attack, he flew across the room.

”Ohh…you should be more careful. I told you that you were going to get hit,” I said to Shin Hyuk in a low voice, as he was gasping in pain.

”Who the fuck are you?”

”What the !ell are you doing here?” The two damage dealers finally snapped out of their shock when Shin Hyuk was flung to the side, and shouted at me together.

”Me?” I pointed to myself.

”I'm…well…hmm…Duck Duck? Yeah, that's right. I'm the Stone Golem's friend, Duck Duck. You messed with my friend. For that, I'll kill you all!” In that instant, I recalled what the archer called me and decided to introduce myself as the Stone Golem's pal, Duck Duck!
