Adventurers Are Obsessed With My Cooking

Episode 144. You don’t want to sacrifice yourself?

“Leader. Isn’t it wrong to be angry with someone?”

No matter how you look at it, a sarcastic attitude.

As expected, the man called the leader waved his sword in the air and did not hide his anger.

“Can’t you shut up!? I must have told you guys to just go back?”

“Who? The leader? When? Just do it our way. Are we doing our own thing now?”

“That’s right. We do as we please. Giggles.”

“These idiots… Do you think this is a joke!?”

This is an absurd situation.

Why are they fighting among themselves all of a sudden?

I slowly backed away and moved closer to my comrades.

Then he spoke in a voice so low that the other side couldn’t hear it.

“Let’s go. Stay here and get attacked by the boss.”

“Huh? Is that okay?”

“Cough Coke… Yes, please let’s go…”

“Rachel, are you okay?”

“Shut up, Rachel. She needs to go unnoticed over there. Quickly!”

“Cough… How can you cough… Cough, Cough… Stop it!”

That moment when you are about to quietly leave your seat.

“Stop!”

The man who was the leader of the party over there now shouted at us.

All of this is because of Rachel’s cough.

‘Anyway, that guy isn’t helpful…’

Scratching my head, I said confidently to the man who stopped us.

“Ahahahaha, don’t worry about us, just have a chat with us. It looks like you’re getting angry. Shouldn’t you and your colleagues quickly resolve it? Then we’re busy, so let’s go. Alas, you attacked me earlier. I’ll forgive you generously. Service service.”

“……”

Unexpectedly, the reaction came first from behind.

“Leader! What are you doing? Why are you provoking the opponent!”

Is the sarcasm too obvious?

Rachel, who wants to get out of this situation quickly, is stunned, but she can’t help it.

Who attacked us first?

No matter how much trouble I want to avoid, I have no intention of throwing away my pride.

Of course, I couldn’t help it if they were so strong that I couldn’t even compete with them, but right now I don’t think I’ll ever lose.

“Oh, omda! It’s a skeleton!”

‘Ah, but now seems like the right time to run away.’

A bunch of skeletons were rushing at me from all sides, as if the boss’ skill had been completed before I knew it.

The monsters around here had already been cleaned up, but there seemed to be hundreds of them, wondering where they came from.

‘I have to avoid it before it gets dragged…’

Intermediate Boss The exiled Knight Commander is a nuisance to deal with because he commands the skeleton soldiers around him rather than his own strength.

A common strategy is for the dealers to clear out the rest of the monsters sequentially while the tanker draws aggro from the boss.

In a situation where those who want to kill us have their eyes open like now, it’s best to just run away.

‘If it’s fortunate…’

The fact that the boss’s aggro is directed at them, not us.

If we can leave it to the Skeleton Soldiers’ aggro, we can get out of here quietly like the first plan.

Even the nearby monsters have all flocked here, so it might be easier to move around if you get out of here.

“Lemon takes the lead! Let’s stick to the wall on the left so we don’t get dragged as much as possible!”

“Huh? Oh, okay!”

“The rest of us stick together too!”

“Yes!”

“Okay!”

I have confidence in running.

You have already invested up to 99 in the movement speed increase attribute attached to Blessing.

It’s a pity that I didn’t eat the dish to get an extra 29 points, but this speed is enough to get me out of here.

“Lemon is too fast. If you go further, the chain will break with the person behind you.”

“Okay… Wow!”

Kwakwang!

“Lemon!? …What are you doing!”

“Who knows what to miss?”

“Hey! You guys deal with the boss!”

The tanker from the other party used a dash to attack Lemon, who was running the most.

She was unable to defend herself from the sudden attack and was slammed into the wall of the building next to her.

Fortunately, the damage was not great and it was easily healed by the synergistic Dot Heal, but unfortunately I missed the timing to escape.

Skeletons, which had already come out in droves, were piled up in layers at every corner.

Ring! Tring! Tring!

Non-stop system notifications.

Dozens of skeleton soldiers were looking at us.

“Are you crazy? Let’s die together!”

“It’s not me who will die, it’s you guys!”

I thought you were the leader, but you weren’t?

The man who attacked Lemon was running towards us even in this situation.

Since he is dragging the boss’ aggro, he must have been the target of many times more skeletons than our party.

“Weren’t you fighting with your teammates?”

“Hmph. Never mind!”

Kaga River!

The man’s sword rushed towards me.

I took out my shield and managed to block it, but it was too much to offset all the damage.

Cagan! Kang! Kaga River!

“Ugh…”

Even the attacks continued one after another.

Indeed.

Are you saying this is the tanker of the current Abyss party?

I took several steps back, pushed by his tremendous momentum.

“Haaagh!”

Tuong!

Meanwhile, Lemon, who had returned, struck the man’s side with his shield.

Mumu and Rachel’s attacks followed, and only then did the man step back with his shield in front.

Meanwhile, dozens of skeletons flew and attacked us.

“Melissa!”

“…In Storm!”

Fortunately, Melissa’s wide-area magic was completed in good timing, and a dazzling flash exploded right in front of her nose!

Dozens of skeleton soldiers approaching fell in an instant.

But there was no time to rest.

Some of the elite monsters did not fall down, of course, and ranged mobs such as archers and spearmen who approached belatedly started attacking, and skeleton soldiers who were out of Melissa’s magical range quickly approached, filling the empty spots again.

What’s more, it’s a pity.

“Kyungmin hyung!”

“What’s the situation?”

“What about monitoring the boss…”

‘What is it? Wasn’t the surveillance a party?’

An additional Demon Slash crew appeared.

There were five of us this time, but I didn’t know where another guy was hiding and plotting another scheme.

‘Assassin? Are you hiding?’

“Rachel! Detection skill! Find out who is hiding around you!”

“Huh? Oh, okay.”

Things were changing so rapidly that it was confusing.

‘The priority is…’

I focused on checking how the demon slash crew moved.

The first five people who destroyed the building were nowhere to be seen.

And the leader of the other party that had just attacked us was giving orders to the five people who had just arrived.

“While I drag the boss aggro, you deal with those bastards!”

“Seo, no way… Those guys are Yoo Seok…”

“Let’s talk about it later! If you can kill it, kill it. If it doesn’t work out, keep it in check until I come back and take the time!”

“Kyungmin hyung!”

“It’s an order! So don’t spit out and do as you say!”

“All, of course! But hyung… Where did all the party members go? How did you get those skeletons by yourself…”

“Stop talking about those bastards! I’ll leave the boss and the mobs behind. Hurry up!”

“Oh, I see. Guys!”

Our eyes met with the five who had just arrived.

‘Damn it…’

If we have to deal with 11 or 12 people at the same time, we have no chance no matter how strong we become.

‘At least I have to run away while the boss and the skeleton get in the way…’

It is now, but the future was more of a problem.

What if the demon slashes come after us in earnest?

‘No, you should think that it’s already like that.’

If you didn’t attack right from the entrance, did you mean to keep it a secret that you killed us?

To decorate the dead while exploring the dungeon?

Even while thoughts of stars flashed through their heads, their colleagues were busy arranging the approaching skeletons.

‘If a battle unfolds against them in this situation…’

I turned my head around to check my surroundings.

To find the 5 missing people.

It’s a really big deal on the day of being attacked by surprise.

“Everyone! Go inside the building!”

First of all, you have to get out of this situation.

Fortunately, the other party is surrounded by skeletons and can’t do anything right now.

“Quickly!”

But they didn’t take it lightly either.

Quaang!

An explosive arrow fired by an archer belonging to the 5 that just appeared exploded on the outer wall of the building we were about to enter.

Walls collapsed and debris poured down, blocking the entrance.

“Just break the window…”

Turdeng! Tumbling!

Arrows suddenly rained down on Lemon.

‘Do you intend to make the most of your time?’

It would have been better without the skeleton soldiers.

I clenched my molars.

Then I glared at a man holding a shield.

Judging from the reaction of the people who showed up later, that man must be an executive of Demon Slash.

But the more I think about it, the more I can’t help but be a real madman.

‘I never thought I’d attack while being dragged by the boss aggro.’

Everyone knows how dangerous that is, even without an explanation.

‘That guy in Kangdaesan looks fine, how many crazy people are there in the guild over there?’

Maybe it wasn’t Kang Dae-san’s order.

Maybe that madman just wants to kill us.

But what does that matter now?

Even if you want to argue with Kang Dae-san, if you die here, it’s just the end.

“Listen up everyone. I’ll buy you some time. In the meantime, get inside the building.”

“Uncle…?”

“Just do as they’re told! No matter how you look at it, they look like they’re going to kill us. It’s absolutely impossible for you guys… No, even if we’ve become super strong, it’s absolutely impossible to deal with two parties of demon slashes at once.”

“That said, you don’t have to sacrifice yourself…”

“I know what you’re thinking, but I’m not going to die in a place like this! I’m not going to sacrifice my cool here. I’m just buying some time! So in the meantime, go inside the building and wait.”

“……”

“Quickly!”

Sacrifice?

What a sublime word.

That’s why it’s also a word that doesn’t really suit me.

I thought we had gotten a lot closer, but maybe it was because I only showed my image as a chef, so it seems that the kids don’t know me very well yet.

Sacrifice…

Isn’t that just giving up?

‘It’s not even funny.’

Why give up?

There are enough odds.
