chapter 333
333 – Twisted Dungeon
“If you’ve found your confidence… Shouldn’t it be time to go to a training camp in preparation for a fight with the Ilseom Guild…?”
Ham Eun-young seems to be worried about sparring, which is four days away from the dungeon.
For some reason, the song kept cutting out during the battle.
‘Hmm… Runner 1, Hayun, won’t get hurt. If I do my best, there won’t be any big problems.’
I don’t know if other people believed that too, but I wasn’t as anxious or nervous as I was when I first heard the story.
Although there is a feeling of being overshadowed by Yeonhee, the people gathered here are all in the top 1% of talent.
Everyone must be feeling that my combat power is far beyond C-rank.
Even the combined number one brothers are powerful enough to be difficult to deal with as a single C-class hunter, and if Geomryongi is also summoned, wouldn’t the people of the Ilseom Guild, who are secluded in the mountains and only focus on training, be scared?
“I need to practice against Arin. But I don’t think it’s necessary to keep doing it for several days. Let’s do it the day before the sparring, right? I think it’s just me and Yeonhee.”
‘Still, I don’t think he’ll take them all down alone.’
“Please don’t let it fall on me.”
Joo-a pretended to be weak for no reason, and Noh Hayun nagged her as if she didn’t like her.
“If you’re going to eat it raw, you should run the simulation in your head too.”
“Of course! But please make sure we don’t have to fight! I’m really bad at dealing with opponents who attack me in close combat. The best way is to surround them with rocks and try to counter them.”
“It depends on how you fight. There is nothing more dangerous to a hunter than being trapped.”
“Pee-“
“Ah, a little childish.”
When Joo-a licks her tongue, Hayun is shocked and frowns at her.
However, everyone seemed to think deeply about her words, and she began to deal with various things while with monsters.
‘Because you’ll hear a lot of stories from witches. The level of advice given is high, so it is quite helpful to the team members.’
Whirring!
Poop-!
‘Okay. Get the fourth Hanjaling.’
Hanjaling, a precious food ingredient, appeared in the number of one or two a day, and they were caught as soon as they caught their senses and piled up in the warehouse.
“I always feel that way. I feel so comfortable when I go out with Yeonhee.”
“Well, if I had gone out with Vision, I would definitely have had a hard time. I probably would have stayed here for 15 days, right?”
“What’s wrong with our guild?”
“Honestly, you can see the difference, right?”
“That’s right.”
After a few days of nothing happening, Noh Hayun seemed to have lost a lot of motivation.
The event she expected didn’t happen, and going through a dungeon she had already cleared several times was boring for her.
Unlike her, I was satisfied with her because it was profitable just to collect the ingredients for the skull bomb and the bones, which were Wang’s staple food for her.
But I think I’ve experienced this flow once…
Not only stimulating situations are helpful for growth, but in that respect, it may be Noh Hayun herself who needs to change her thinking.
‘When the great monster appeared, Noh Hayun should have been with me, not Arin.’
If that were the case, I would have experienced a higher world and acted more cautiously than I do now.
“Ah, I’m bored.”
“?!”
“Huh… ?!”
“Hey, it’s really unlucky.”
Noh Hayun even spoke taboo words that should never be uttered in a dungeon.
Is it because of her earnest wish? As the expedition reached its end, an unusual wind began to blow.
‘…Hmm? What is it?’
As I was replenishing energy with my colleagues ahead of a boss battle, a small gate began to open in the wavelength of my senses.
I immediately reported this to my colleagues.
“Oh! Finally! Let’s go now!”
“First, start by searching from a distance-“
“Okay, so hurry up.”
Noh Hayun put me ahead as if she had been waiting.
All of the companions climbed on the shoulders of the summoned beasts and headed toward the suddenly created gate.
Soon we saw an amazing sight.
“Huh? What are those?”
“Someone walks out of the gate?”
People who were clearly Asian were coming through the gate one by one.
” Zhe shi n?(Where is this place?)”
” Su?Y? W? Cai shu? W? Men buyao maoran jinqu! (That’s why I told you not to go in without permission!)”
Thanks to the amazing ability of the system, I was able to understand the meaning naturally even though it was in Chinese, but the problem was that it was unheard of for people from other countries to flow into another dungeon through a gate.
‘…What new kind of shit is this?’
It was a party of six people in total, with a ratio of three men and three women.
They looked very nervous as they saw groups of hunters appearing one by one, including our party.
The gate they came out of had already shrunk to the size of a baseball, so they were unable to return and were surrounded.
“Damn! Was it really a gate that led to another dungeon?”
“Now I’m going through this again and again…”
They were talking to each other, sharing their confused feelings, and then one person came forward and spoke.
“Hey—! We belong to the ‘Steel Heart’ of ‘Xian’!! I entered through a passage I hadn’t seen before and ended up here! “Can you tell me which dungeon this is?”
At the words of the rugged woman who seemed to be the leader, the C-class hunters, who had now surpassed ten teams, were very upset.
“Xian? Are you really Chinese? What happened?”
“The dungeon has been unstable these days… Is it now connected to other countries?”
“Ah… This isn’t real. There are enough hunters in the mountains.”
“It’s interesting… But it’s dangerous, right?”
Yeonhee seemed interested, but the other party members all reacted negatively.
China was once severely defeated by ‘Necrosqual’, which was said to have the highest fighting power among the great monsters that have ever appeared.
Although China is said to have lost much of its strength due to the accident, China still maintains its status as a superpower.
It is also a country with the largest number of high-level hunters in the world.
As has always been the case between them and our country, there is nothing particularly good about being connected.
‘Well, at least one small gate is connected, so there won’t be a problem right now. The future is problematic.’
If there are multiple passages like this in the dungeon, and people from any country in the world can pass through it, it is obvious that the dungeon that is managed at least will become a lawless place.
‘Maybe other countries aren’t the problem… As time goes by, maybe in another dimension…’
I quickly shook off her hair because it seemed like a crazy idea, and before I knew it, I looked at the woman with light blue hair who was walking in front of her.
“I feel like I’ve taken a wrong turn! This is Korea! This is the Frogfolk dungeon!”
“”?!””
The Chinese members of Cheoljisim looked very surprised at Noh Hayun’s shout.
– ······!
– ········?!
They talked intensely for a while.
However, he soon calmed down and soon made a move to gauge our level.
Woooooung─
‘The control of magical power is quite delicate. We’re measuring it by spreading just enough magic power that we won’t notice.’
I’m probably the only one here who noticed this.
Because they were B-grade strongmen by our country’s standards.
‘I don’t think they’re doing that to attack us. Even if it were me, I would try to approach it as cautiously as possible.’
After realizing that this dungeon was not a very high-level place, they managed to relieve their tension and narrowed the distance towards us.
“Could you possibly help us get out?”
A leader with a strong heart who shows a polite attitude and asks a favor from Noh Hayun, who was the representative.
They weren’t asking for help because they couldn’t find the exit to the dungeon.
You must be worried after you leave.
Noh Hayun nodded willingly, even though she looked a little disappointed for some reason at the sight of them being more polite than expected.
“Well, this is an event in its own way.”
“I didn’t hear clearly. Did you say it was an event?”
“No. Let’s go. Follow me.”
‘What on earth did you expect? Did you think we were going to fight at all costs?’
No matter how strong they are, there would be no reason to do something like that against hunters who are several times more numerous.
We took them and moved to where the boss stage was.
“Huh? Why are Chinese people suddenly?”
“That’s what we want to ask.”
The management office employees managing the boss battle looked embarrassed at the sudden situation.
And as we talked about it, we unexpectedly ended up teaming up with them and having a boss battle.
“Let’s see how skilled the Chinese are?”
“Hmph… I guess that’s where it is.”
But after a while.
Fuuuuu!
‘… That’s pretty good.’
A Chinese woman with a huge power device mounted on her forearm.
When she swung her arm, her boss monster’s face exploded at once.
The explosive release of magical power instantly chilled the hearts of many hunters who were watching.
“…”
“Strong…”
The Chinese killed all the Frogpolk variants in less than 3 minutes.
Although they were an opponent of a level higher than us, even taking that into account, they showed extremely strong combat power.
What’s unusual is that they showed a fighting style in which they concentrated their strength on one person.
“Is that what she’s wearing on her arm her her called’Link’developed in China?”
“I heard it’s a device that can hold a certain amount of mana. This is my first time seeing it.”
“It’s not just about collecting mana. It’s a high-level piece of equipment that fuses the magical power each party member has refined into one. I heard there’s a genius ‘inventor’ in China. I guess it was true.”
After defeating the boss, they naturally followed us as if it was no big deal.
The Chinese people who came out of the gate headed somewhere following the guidance of officials from the management office, and they did not forget to thank us before leaving.
“Thank you. Noh Hayun of the Vision Guild. I will definitely remember you.”
“I didn’t do anything, so what?”
“I like that you have a cool personality. Contact me whenever you come to China.”
“Good.”
Our hearts were complicated as we watched them leave.
“Still, they were people who didn’t have a bad feeling.”
“The problem is that the dungeon is becoming more unpredictable.”
“Well, I wonder what will happen with only one or two gates created?”
But that was just our idea.
On this day, the same phenomenon occurred countless times around the world, and a number of casualties occurred due to fights between hunters of different nationalities.
*
The church has now become our hideout.
We stopped by this place on our way back from the dungeon and suddenly thought that the atmosphere of the church was too dark.
Yeonhee said she had a feeling she would come here often, so she used her summons to kick everything, including the messy chairs, to the wall.
“It’s spacious because you put it away, right?”
“Crack, crack, crack!”
“Whoa, I’m nervous.”
There is only one reason why Yeonhee is nervous.
This is because it is time to use the ‘Mysterious and Auspicious Summoning Scroll’ obtained after completing the quest to kill 500 monsters.
It is a quest reward given after experiencing all sorts of things in the dungeon of Nargul.
A summons book that I am not sure if I will be able to obtain again in the future.
“You shouldn’t expect too much. At least ‘Sword Dragon’ will appear, right?”
“Crack, crack, crack!”
