After The Death Of The Wolf(2)

I instantly sprinted to pick the man up. At the same time, I told the woman to run to the field.

It wasn't that far away, so she should be fine. Right now, this man is the number one priority.

As I was running towards the field with the man, I noticed that his eyes were slowly closing.

"Hey! Don't close your eyes,

Keep them up; we are soon there!"

I tried to run even faster because of this.

As I entered the field, I scanned the vicinity, looking for a specific person.

'There he is!'.

I instantly ran to his location, and his face was full of shock, probably because of my speed.

"Heal this man quickly!"

He was shocked, but as soon as he saw the body in my arms, he quickly collected himself.

"Put him down now!"

I laid him on the ground, and I saw the middle-aged man slowly hold his hands over the man's chest.

It soon radiated a green aura, and I could visibly see the injury closing up. The man with the pale complexion slowly regained his health at the same time.

The middle-aged man wiped off his sweat.

"He should be fine now". 

"Thank you". 

The reason I was looking for this specific man was because of his healing skill, and he was not the only one who had a healing skill.

But he was just the first one I saw.

I ran back to the forest to pick up the elderly woman.

She gave a startled reaction, but I did not care as I picked her up.

I ran to the field, not caring if I was sprinting too fast for her. As soon as I was close to the field, I sat her down and ran back to the forest to find the rest of the elderly people.

As I was looking for elderly people, I saw a party made up of around 10 young people.

"You guys, if you see some elderly people, lead them back to the field!"

Before they could respond, I disappeared from their vision.

I didn't care if the young party did what I said. But it would be good if they did.

Running to the south side because it was the most dangerous. It had traps, and if you were not familiar with the area, you could get injured and, worst-case scenario, die.

When I entered the south side of the forest after a while, I saw a group of elderly people.

'Thank God they were grouped up'

So all I had to do was lead them back.

But as I approached them, one of them had to comment.

"Weren't you the one who told us to leave?"

One of the elderly people was confused.

"That was for your own good; I told you that a monster would spawn in the field.

And now it's safer to stay in the field than here, so follow me". 

As we went back to the field, I scanned the area, and I found out that everyone should be here now.

The young party that I saw in the forest was also here, and it looked like they found some people too.

The leader of the middle-aged group was talking to the young party.

I began to walk in the vicinity, trying to listen in. But as I was getting closer, the leader noticed me.

"Taeho, you should probably hear this too".

One of the young people from the young party started talking.

"The thing is that new monsters have appeared; they are much bigger and stronger than the monsters we fought before.

Our party could only take around 3 of those monsters, even though we were 10 people".

I already knew what monsters they were talking about; it was the elite goblins from the elite forest.

I could guess that elite goblins have replaced the normal goblins.

"But how many normal monsters could your party kill before". The leader started talking.

He was probably trying to estimate the monster's strength. It was a good question.

"Around 10 if fighting normally, and if we were really trying hard, maybe 15."

The leader seemed to be thinking before he responded.

"It's getting too dangerous to leave the field now. We still need to kill 1000 monsters if we want to go home again.

It is only the second day, yet it is already getting this difficult."

'Shit'

I completely forgot that because I killed the wolf on the second day instead of the third. The people here did not get the experience they needed to get stronger.

I essentially made the players here weaker than they should have been.

Killing around 200–300 goblins to make the wolf spawn was not a great idea. Because that made the players on this floor kill 200–300 goblins less than they should have.

'They are way too weak'.

"But we need to group up together and kill the monsters safely".

I have never gotten this far on the floor before, so I wanted to try to be here for as long as possible.

That meant not regressing yet, because I wanted to at least see what happens if you kill 1000 monsters.

I scanned the field to see multiple people here, and more people were still entering from the forest.

Some of them had injuries, but it was good we had the guy with the healing skill.

'These people would not be able to kill those elite goblins if they ran into the forest'

The leader was right. If we wanted to go home, we needed to group up even more.

And I was partly to blame for them being so weak.

But I did kill the wolf that would have killed most of these people anyway.

'So some could say that I did my part'

But if I wanted to go home, all the people that appeared on the field had to at least survive because of my skill.

People were entering the field because of the announcement that came after the wolf died.

I saw some familiar people.

It was Lee Min-ho and his party, and they did not have a single injury at all. Showcasing their strength.

I already knew that they all had at least A-rank skills, so seeing them well was good.

Lee Min-ho could definitely kill one of the elite goblins alone, even at level 1. And now, after one day, even though I killed most of the goblins, they should at least be level 3.

So that party of three people could at least kill five elite goblins alone. If they joined our forces, it would be a huge combat boost.

But there was no need to convince them, as they naturally entered the field.

After some hours,

More and more people entered the field, but there weren't as many as the original 100 people.

It seemed like there were only 80–90 people here.

'So some people died anyway' I sighed. 

I scanned the field, but I couldn't see Park Jihye or the girl with the sports jacket at all.

Park Jihye was not that strong, so she could have also died. But the girl with the sports jacket could fight at least four elite goblins alone. So there is no way she is dead.

'But what if'

I started to think of the elite forest, which was where the elite goblins were. But now that the elite goblins are in the forest near the field, what monsters are in the elite forest?

Will it be the same elite goblins?

Or what if there were monsters that were way stronger than the elite goblins in the elite forest now?

That could explain why the girl with the sports jacket wasn't here.

I looked around the field again to see another familiar face.

It was Goham Nam, the middle-aged man, who kept yelling at the start.

But this Goham Nam was a lot quieter compared to the start and had a more serious face.

It wasn't that he got quieter. I just didn't hear him yell this time.

He probably realized after a day that this was not a prank and that his life really was in danger.

Which was good because, as I recall, his skill was defensive. I tried to remember exactly what it was.

'Was it a shield?'

'Or was it armor?'

Because a lot of people had defensive skills, it was hard for me to differentiate. In the end, when I was trying to know people's skills, I was only looking for a skill that could make me stronger.

Like a temporary buff skill. Therefore, I knew the general category of most people, but not specifically which people had which defensive skill.

As I was trying to remember what skill he had, I could feel a slight increase in mana in the air. 

Bang! 

I looked at the source, and I saw a fire explosion up in the air.

People started to sit down and look at the commotion.

"Can I get everyone's attention?" The leader of the group of middle-aged people shouted.
