Chapter 166
Lee Hye-jeong and Team 2 smoothly progressed through the gate.
If you looked at their hunting method in detail, it went like this:
1. Secure a point — the place where the main team will stay.
2. Scatter the lurers, including Lee Hye-jeong, in all directions.
3. In the meantime, the main team digs traps and waits.
W̃ebǹ_о̆vèl̆ Е n̊umа_
4. When about 25–30 werewolves are herded in,
5. Activate the traps, and gulp them down neatly.

It takes that much to explain it this precisely, but honestly, to simplify — you could just say, “They herd them and kill them.”
It was clearly different from the usual raid battles that involved racing against time and facing over ten unexpected situations a day. The “strategy,” if you could call it that, was usually just about forming formations or occasionally taking down mid-bosses. There was hardly any need to use your brain.
That’s why a team leader had to focus more on another role before being a commander.
“Okay, everyone, gather up! Today was really good. The tank line was great, the dealer line was solid-solid. Supporters, I’ll give you kisses later.”
Еnúm̃а̌
That role was management.
Nutrition, sleep, condition — even mental health.
You had to take care of and manage your teammates.
People, after all, get bored when doing the same thing for long periods, and that boredom leads to carelessness.

That’s why, at times like this, the team leader must always check if there’s any drop in performance, reinforce discipline, and spark passion and fighting spirit.
As for the first part — physical strength — Lee Hye-jeong could handle that by waking up early, sleeping late, and caring for them like a “mom.”
E_ňũm̈ å.і d̂
But the latter — passion and motivation — that was never easy.
However, Lee Hye-jeong had a cheat key in her hands: “Lee Shin’s Manual.”
“Okay, Supil, come here. You need to move a bit more actively. Just because your older brothers and sisters are good at tanking doesn’t mean you get to sit back and suck your fingers, right? Tomorrow, just take one step ahead.”
“Shin-ik, you’re good overall, but your side steps are a bit fast. I know you’ve got great footwork, but try to match your teammates’ rhythm.”
“And our Princess Ye-na — oh wow, those shoulders… ah, it hurts, Princess. Haha.”
The more time Lee Hye-jeong spent with her juniors, the more she realized that their talent was incomparable to her own.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
They had started from a different point. The rough path that Lee Hye-jeong had once clawed her way up was, for her juniors, their starting point — just another path they naturally walked past.
The wall of unfairness called “talent.”
Before this wall, Lee Hye-jeong, though she might have felt sad, never became envious or resentful like the Park guy next door. That was what Lee Shin truly admired about her — and the reason he’d given her the “Manual.”
Nurturing.
If Mountain King had used the Manual as part of a strategic plan, Lee Hye-jeong used it to raise her juniors.
— “Team Leader Lee Hye-jeong crosses through the ruins. One, three, eight monsters — continuing a steady herd-hunt with solid play.”
Е̌ n̈ u̇m a . і̇d̃
— “That’s amazing. Look at the hunting time per monster here — it’s decreasing little by little. Every time, every day. To shorten it this consistently means…”
— “Means what?”

— “Hard to believe, but… it can only be explained as growth during the raid.”
— “What?! Is that even possible?”
— “It is, but… I’ve never seen an entire raid team grow like this before. Maybe because they’re young? Fascinating.”
The so-called “growth-type commander.”
Ẁ ёb ǹ о̂ v̄ еl̀ Én u m̆ а̄
If Mountain King was raising the empire that Lee Shin had built to new heights, then Lee Hye-jeong was laying the foundation at the very bottom.
She was doing the hard work for her juniors’ growth.
“I’ll do it.”
“Uh, I’ll go, unnie.”

“It’s fine, noona will handle it.”
These kinds of audio clips filled the battles, and the dragon-nerd fans were moved to tears.

: Ah… she’s just Momㅠㅠㅠ
: ???: It’s okay, Mom^^
: sobㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
: ㅠㅠ I need to call my mom.
To be honest, there were still people questioning Lee Hye-jeong’s leadership.
They said that while she was one of the founding members who had built the empire from the ground up, her skill level still didn’t measure up to League 1 standards.

But Lee Hye-jeong was proudly proving her own worth.
Gate Time: Day 8.
A wall shot up through the herd of Shadow Werewolves that Hye-jeong had lured in. When the disoriented werewolves came to their senses, they were split into four groups. Being split up when they already needed to stay packed together — the outcome was obvious.
Magic erupted first, followed by blades and spears flying in.
: They’ve gotten faster againㅎ!!
: Even I can tell their coordination’s improving.

: It’s actually fun to watchㅎㅎ
Gate Time: Day 11.

The second mid-boss fight was known for its difficulty due to the boss’ clone and shadow trait but Lee Hye-jeong shone brilliantly here.
With two lurer juniors, she dribbled the clones while simultaneously using light to control the shadows.
— “I studied this one. These clones keep respawning no matter how many times you kill them — it’s a pain. But look how they’re handling it.”
— “Not flashy, but the three of them are moving as one, barely dodging the clone’s attacks!”
W̌ѐb̌n оṽ êl̆. Еń u ḿ а
— “Wow? Oh! Wheeew~! The more I watch this team, the more I like them!”
Gate Time: Day 14.
Magic that used to require two casts now needed only one.
Two slashes became one.

Useless movements were drastically reduced, and they could now even predict the Shadow Werewolves’ patterns.
Team 2 had become completely proficient.
Ė n ú m̌а .і̇d
Their hunting speed accelerated once again.
: Is that…Team 2?
: They were already coordinated at the start, but they keep getting better ㄷㄷ;;
: I think they’re better than most mid-tier teams now? Just me?
: Nah, looks that way to me too.
And as the gate approached the 15-day mark, the only guild still progressing in the raid was “Mir Guild.”

Round 8 — the day of the confrontation match.
Caster Baek Seong-jae, commentator Choi Moon-sung, and the broadcast staff were all flustered by this unprecedented situation.
“Hehe, I can’t believe I’m riding a helicopter.”
“Moon-sung hyung, this isn’t the time to laugh. Pilot, please hurry, hurry up.”
“Raid and confrontation match happening at the same time? I’m gonna lose it.”
W̌ё b n̊ о̇ṽе̃ l̄ Еn ú m̌а̇
Going back to the past was fine and all, but the schedule was modern!
Back then, the confrontation matches were held every two weeks, but now they happened nearly every weekend!

A ridiculous situation — the confrontation match was happening while the raid was still ongoing.
Because of that, the broadcast station had to scrape up staff from the entertainment and political departments alike, and the commentators had to rush to Busan right after finishing the raid coverage.
The fans were equally bewildered.
: Guys, what do we even watch…?
Ėn ũm_a
: If I watch the raid, Baek-Baek Line will cry, and if I watch the match, Hye-jeong-mom will cryㅠㅠ
: Just Mom ㅠㅠㅠ
: ㅋㅋㅋ Ughhhhㅋㅋㅋㅋ This damn guild can’t go a single day without chaosㅋㅋㅋ
: And yet you love them, right?

Should they watch the ever-growing Team 2’s raid?
Or the confrontation match featuring Lee Shin’s “children”?
Ě ńu m̃ а_. і d̈
It was a ridiculous dilemma, but to the dragon fans, it was as serious as “Mom or Dad, black bean noodles or spicy seafood noodles.”
: Still, gotta watch the raid. How can you stop now? The kids would be sad.
: ……Maybe we can watch both for two hours……?
: No way! I can’t give up Yeon-woo-Yeon-woo!
: Hye-jeong unnie or Ri-ra unnie ㅠ퓨ㅠㅠㅠ
: Just watch both, idiots.

Fans of other guilds looked at these dragon-nerds with pity — and a little envy.
— ……That guild gets new drama every day, huh.
— Lee Shin’s working like a legend.
— Hot take) If we could recruit Lee Shin to our guild……
└ You’d die?
└ Kid, where do you live?
Е n̂ ǔ m ӓ. і̌ď
└ Call him “God Lee.” Show some respect.
While other guilds twisted themselves into knots to trend even once, Mir Guild rose in the rankings like it was breakfast, hogging all the league’s attention every single time.

Even if they got cursed at, it was better to be burning hot at the center than invisible. For guilds that couldn’t get attention, their fans could only sulk.
By this point, other guild leaders were losing their minds.
It was bad enough that Mir Guild suddenly brought in Team 2 — now they were shaking up the league again with an old-school strategy that somehow worked.
“I’m sorry. We’ve been completely outplayed.”
En ûm.а
“Getting worked up over Mir’s Team 2 ended up backfiring. We tried shaving seconds off, let monsters slip, even gave up exploration points…”
“Even with a rough calculation, they’re already above 8th place. If they keep hunting full-time, even our guild in 4th is in danger.”
Because of the raid format, ranks 1 through 4 all earned the same points — meaning, if you got into the top 4 cutoff, you were tied in score anyway.
Having run themselves ragged with their main teams, only to still get crushed by Team 2, guilds like Hae-mu and others stormed into the Administration Office.

“Department Head, this is cheating, isn’t it?!”
“Who wants to watch a dragged-out raid like that! The Administration needs to intervene!”
Ẇ е b̃n о v ѐ l Е̃n̂û m̃а̀
“This messes up the league schedule! Look — the raid and confrontation are overlapping! This isn’t good at all!”
But the Administration’s response was ice-cold.
“It’s not cheating at all. Next.”
“Well, considering you asked who would like it, the ratings are the highest among this year’s raid matches. I don’t think you need to worry. Next.”
“We’ll handle the schedule ourselves. And CEO Hae-mu, I’ve warned you before, haven’t I? Don’t overstep into the Secretariat’s territory. This is my final warning.”
From the Secretariat’s perspective, which guild would they prefer—the ones that expand their roster but only use their main team, or the Mir Guild, which actively utilizes its second team in line with policy?

Of course, it’s the Mir Guild.
They’d already been worried the League was stagnating, so seeing Mir Guild bring a refreshing breeze into it—how could they not find that delightful and be grateful?
Perhaps for that reason, the next day’s League main banner featured a photo of Lee Hye-jeong and Team 2.
The image showed them sitting around a campfire, holding a strategy meeting, beneath the caption:
— Finding the Future in the Past.
Amid all the controversy, Mir Guild’s Team 2 continued their steady hunt, and after 20 days and 17 hours of gate time, they finally entered the boss room.

Eight streaks of light flew toward the back of Lee Hye-jeong’s head.
Chwarak―!
Ẃ е̇ bnŏ v̌е̊ľ Ê_ṅ ů m ã
Blood spattered.
The tank who blocked the attack had their shoulder burst open, veins ripping apart—even though they’d used a shield.
A werewolf at least twice the size of an ordinary Grim Werewolf.
True to the name “Twin,” it had two heads—and it not only possessed immense physical strength but could also use sorcery. This creature was the boss, [Twin-Headed Werewolf, Haunt].

Its most troublesome trait: “Defense-Ignoring” attacks.
That meant simply tanking was impossible.
Е ň u m̆a . і̌ d̈
So the standard strategy was for tanks to alternate defenses, buying time.
During this rotation, a brief gap was unavoidable… and it was this gap that Lee Hye-jeong was now creating.
Paht─!
Using the recovering tank as a springboard, Hye-jeong slid between the boss’ legs, so close to its killing intent that her whole body tingled.
When Haunt roared and swung its sharp claws, Hye-jeong countered by releasing smoke.
Moving with [Poison Mist] and [Toxic Step], leaving behind afterimages—it was impossible to dodge everything.

She avoided only what needed to be avoided.
As the attacks continued, Hye-jeong’s combat suit was stained with blood.
Minor cuts were common, but chunks of flesh were torn from her shoulder and side, and blood burst from her nose.
In the suffocating onslaught, Hye-jeong crawled, rolled, and fought desperately, pitifully struggling just to survive—but she was buying time.
While she drew the boss’ attention, a fierce assault continued from the other side.
Haunt’s back was riddled with spears, arrows, and wounds of every kind.
W еbn̈ о v́ ӗl̇ Ёn̈ um̃ а̄
Was it enraged? Or sensing danger?
One of its heads trembled, cheeks swelling—between its fangs, a dark flame began to writhe.

A curse-infused fire—an area attack that dealt defense-ignoring damage.
‘We have to dodge!’
Just as Hye-jeong prepared to command her team, a shimmering veil descended over her head—as if anticipating her thoughts.
It was a blessing buff from the holy healer, Seo Ye-na.
Ẁе̊ b́n̊ õ vе̄ l̊ Ёn ǔm̀ā
Immediately after, the tank, Choi Soo-pil, shouted and waved his flag, boosting everyone’s speed at once—just as black flames erupted, the team scattered in every direction.
“Ooooh!”
“Haha!”
“Heehee!”

Team 2 was retreating—but everyone was laughing.
“Hahaha.”
Wė b̈ n о̆v е̊l̇ Ēnu m̄ а
Even Hye-jeong couldn’t help but laugh with her teammates.
At some point, even without speaking, their movements had synced.
They were in tune.
Whether moving in or pulling back, their timing fit like gears, and she could feel their breathing in perfect unison.
At the moment when all their rhythms aligned—realization struck.
“!!”

Her vision exploded outward as if something blocked had burst open—her world expanded.
How to describe it…it felt like seeing everything from high above the sky.
‘So this is it. This is the perspective the Mountain King saw.’
She could see her teammates’ positions, sense their awareness, and even feel the ragged breathing of the exhausted boss, Haunt.
‘I can do this!’
With a scrape of her boots against the ground, Hye-jeong spun and charged toward the flames.
W_е b̊ n ó ve l̈ Ën u m_а̇
Her teammates’ voices rang out behind her, but she sprinted forward.
Then she slipped through the flickering fire… unharmed?

“Oh!”
She really dodged it!
Her clothes melted, her skin slightly scorched, but her movements were completely unhindered.
Spreading poison, she closed the distance in an instant—and saw the creature’s startled eyes. Two heads meant four eyes, and double the surprise.
Ên̄u.mа̌
Hye-jeong grinned and drove her daggers into both heads.
And then—
“Guys.”
Her teammates, who trusted and followed her, struck simultaneously—their weapons piercing the boss’ body from every direction.

Slash!
Fssshhh―!!

Above the writhing boss, countless glowing magic circles overlapped.
And then—
Kwarrrrrr―!!
The earth trembled.
It was a flawless counterattack.
Even the Mountain King himself would have given this teamwork 120 points out of 100.

And so—it had to die.
The Twin-Headed Werewolf, Haunt, finally collapsed, its eyes losing focus.
