"Oh, my God!"

If the monsters managed to pierce us with their claws or wound us deeply, we would die. There was a chance that we would also die if we went too close or got entangled with them.

The reason this party was able to hold their defenses until now was because they were maintaining their formation, despite the relentless attacks they were receiving.

As Jung Jinho's group had also done their fair share of hunting, they surely knew of this. That was why they were able to bear the hordes of rampaging monsters.

"Shit!"

Those guys weren't backing down and were still doing their best to fight off the burning monsters. It was a fascinating sight for me.

"Sorry, I'm so sorry!"

Only trash like me could enjoy such horrendous circumstances.

As the number of monsters decreased, the actual burden on us was supposed to be reduced, but those guys still did their best to stave off an entirely new kind of monster, which was definitely heartbreaking to see. Although they were pushing the burning monsters as far away from themselves as possible, the problem was that they couldn't do anything about the flames that burned their bodies.

The considerable physical exhaustion and the burning heat continued to eat away at their stamina.

The temperature was rising in the dungeon.

There was no telling how much direct flames or heat Jung Jinho's group was facing.

"Ahhhhhhhhh!"

I wasn't sure what was happening, but I could see some changes in the monster's status window.

Their health seemed to be decreasing rapidly, but their magical power had increased by one point. It could have been due to the flame that I had fired at them.

"Extinguish the fires, motherfucker!"

Even Buddha, could not help but swear furiously in such a situation.

"Sorry! Just a little bit now! Please hold on a little!"

It felt as if some kind of holy warriors were fighting against armies sent directly from hell.

After some time, it became clear that they had to sacrifice something in order to get rid of the monsters for good.

It depended on their stamina, or on the tricks that Jung Jinho was hiding from the rest.

As I couldn't hear him cast any spells, Jung Jinho had probably decided to keep them hidden for the time being.

'He will hide his skills until the right opportunity comes.'

It was good judgment on his part to hide the true extent of his powers until the very end.

And it wasn't just me. Kim Hyunsung also knew about these things already.
