chapter 342
342 – Children Standing in Front of Something Huge
Kwaaak-!
Woowoouk-!
The claws on the dire wolf’s front paws are extremely sharp.
Each of his claws looks like a famous sword that has been carefully refined and polished.
It has high agility and intelligence, so when its attacks keep missing, it tries to make a difference by shaking its lower body.
Nevertheless, the reality was that his attack did not feel threatening to me.
‘Maybe three out of ten times. There’s definitely a reason why Master told me not to use it.’
A technique with a success rate of less than 30% cannot be used in actual combat.
Every time ‘Bran’ failed, there were fifteen holes drilled in his body.
With the satisfaction of having trained sufficiently, I raised my sword from bottom to top.
Buuuuuk──!
– Your level has risen!
– Three abilities to increase…
It’s been a while since my level went up.
I didn’t feel anything at all even after defeating Frogfolk, but Direwolf seems to give me quite a bit of experience.
The stats gained by leveling up were invested in wisdom, senses, and strength.
Wisdom and magic power values that have not yet met the minimum usage conditions for [Meteor] Will be available through two artifacts that will be obtained soon, including this dungeon.
Only after pushing all the direwolf corpses into subspace was I able to join the party members who were gathered in groups of twos and threes to talk.
“What kind of mess is this from the first battle?”
Bae Joo-ah wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand with an expression of disgust.
“It feels clear that the probability of variants appearing is increasing.”
Yeonhee, who was talking to Jooah, actually looked a little flushed.
This is probably because the werewolf ‘Rakan’ unit almost swept away the dire wolves.
“Wow – if there are that many werewolves. Isn’t it okay to just go through the top dungeon?”
Joo-a asked more excitedly, and Yeon-hee answered by shaking her head.
“That’s not necessarily true. Should I say that it feels like the level is reset when you first summon it? Anyway, they start with slightly lower abilities than the kids you meet in the actual dungeon. You need to raise their level first.”
Of course, that was only when Yeonhee did not provide any support, and about half of Rakan’s troops had already tightly wrapped their upper bodies with the ‘mysterious mucous membrane’ created by Yeonhee.
With that alone, the overall combat power can be seen to increase dramatically.
‘This isn’t a game. I wasn’t the only one with poor efficiency. Yeonhee also needs to head to a higher place.’
If it weren’t for my [Kleptomaniac] Skill, I would have found another growth route a long time ago, such as jumping a few levels and aiming for a higher level dungeon.
“More than that, let’s talk about the sword dragon and the castle…”
Yeonhee concluded her thoughts during the battle, gathered the party members together, and shared information about the newly joined summons.
Were Raven, Dire Wolf, and the Were Wolf I saw earlier were ignored.
“I’ll let you know in advance. Everyone, don’t be too surprised… Please watch them one by one and get used to it first. Once you get used to it, I hope we can study ways to cooperate in battle.”
“I wonder what a great summoned beast it is.”
“I’ll know it when I see it.”
“Arin, have you seen them both?”
“I only saw Geomryong, me too.”
After disarming all summons except me, Yeonhee took a deep breath and summoned Shadow Drake and Elder Golem in that order.
“”······.””
I thought I would be shocked and shocked, but my colleagues’ reactions were surprisingly calm. No, were you so shocked that you lost your mind?
The appearance of a huge black drake and an even larger golem.
Gulp-
With their heads raised high in the sky, the colleagues’ necks keep fluttering as they look at the summoned guys.
That’s right, the sword dragon glaring at us through its curled wings looks like an evil dragon to anyone.
In front of this guy who looked like he was going to spit something vicious out of his mouth at any moment, his colleagues were just small and weak lambs.
At least Noh Hayun seemed to be more curious than afraid, but the fact that he couldn’t move easily was no different.
(······.)
Geomryong, who appeared first, gently turned his head to the right and looked at his colleagues.
– ······.
Still, seeing as they don’t show much resistance, it seems to mean that the status of their colleagues is somewhat acceptable.
Or maybe it’s because they’re all women.
Damn you son of a bitch. Are you the only one who hates me?
Kuuuuung──!
[······.]
Unlike Geomryong, the elder golem ‘Castle’ looked around the surrounding environment before people.
The appearance of the elder golem blended well with the fresh nature of this place, making it feel as if it had lived here as a guardian deity for a long time.
“Go, go, go, golem…?!”
“Wow – it keeps getting bigger.”
The last time I called him from church, he was crouched down so it was hard to see him, but when I saw him in an open space with his shoulders wide open, I was truly surprised at his size.
Because the castle appeared and cast a dark shadow over our heads.
‘I think it’s much longer than 7 meters. Regardless of height, physical strength is really…’
As the small moving castle moved slightly in front of their eyes, as if stretching, the party members opened their mouths and could not close them.
It was truly astounding and shocking.
Slowly, the response I had been waiting for was coming.
“Ugh…”
“…”
“Hey…Haha?”
In particular, Ham Eun-yeong, who had kept his mouth shut since entering the dungeon, seemed to have lost strength in his legs and even fell on his butt.
Shake-
Then, a mackerel-patterned cat quickly jumped out of Eunyoung’s mirror, looked around all around, and took a stance to throw a punch.
(What kind of guy is this?!)
I spoke to the cat that was making loud noises.
‘…What are you doing?’
(Hmm? What happened that made Eunyoung so embarrassed? Explain.)
I was in a cat state, so I pointed to ‘Geomryong’ and ‘Castle’ with a gesture of my chin rather than speaking to the guy who was feeling numb.
When the cat found the two, its eyes widened.
(These guys?!)
‘Oh? Do you really know this guy?’
I asked back with anticipation.
(How would I know?)
‘…Do you want to die? Why do you react like you know?’
(Hmm – Anyway, they are useful guys. Are these guys the big monsters you were talking about? They don’t seem to have much power for that.)
‘No… It’s a summoned beast summoned by Yeonhee. Compare it to some great monster.’
No matter how powerful the sword dragon and the elder golem were, the difference between them and the great monster was heaven and earth.
(I see. Still, that golem looks very sturdy. I like it. Is the glowing space in the center a space to protect the summoner?)
As soon as the quick-witted cat saw it, he noticed it and asked.
‘That’s right.’
(It looks like there’s quite a lot of space, right? How about taking Eunyoung along with her? She’s small, so she won’t take up much space.)
‘You’re laughing… If you burn them one by one like that, what about the other kids?’
(Other races are none of my business.)
‘I wonder if someone is a demon…’
(Hehe – Are you recognizing the proud demons?)
‘…’
There are times when I strangely can’t communicate with this guy.
However, if we had to protect someone along with Yeonhee, that person would be Ham Eun-young. Other kids have enough to worry about.
In any case, I had to spend quite a bit of time explaining and understanding the summons so that my colleagues could allay their fears.
“Sword Dragon is okay, but maintaining the castle also consumes a lot of mana. Unless there is a crisis, I don’t think I will be calling in the dungeon for the time being.”
“Obviously, if Yeonhee’s summons are all wiped out, we will lose the opportunity to grow. You need to make some adjustments.”
Colleagues continued to chat while moving.
At first, it was mainly about battles, but as time went on, it became more like small talk.
“Did you say sword dragon? I think it’s really cool. His body is full of acting, and his sharp wings are really cool.”
“Hehe- right?”
“I like Castle. I think it gives the feeling of having a strong home. Isn’t that why you gave it that name?”
“It’s similar. It doesn’t feel that way now that I’m standing, but when I’m crouching down, it’s like a really small castle.”
“Ahang-“
Unlike usual when moving relatively quietly, it seems like there is a lot to talk about after seeing the amazing summoned beasts.
I thought as I listened to voices chattering like the chirping of small birds.
‘The place where the artifact is hidden is still a long way away, so we can proceed while taking advantage of this for the time being.’
I check my abilities one by one and support the growth of my party members. But it shouldn’t be too late.
Since the distance from the entrance to the exit of this dungeon is long, people usually stay overnight.
However, at our current speed, we will be able to quit on the same day without being too late.
The guys who watched us fight earlier were going their own way, more than 600 meters away.
The party members were a little excited after successfully completing the first battle and meeting some amazing summons.
I was also influenced by it and began to move with light steps. Then, quite unexpectedly, I discovered that there was a hidden space underground.
‘…There’s no one there?’
The structure was very similar to the underground space where Blue Eyes believers used to hold ancestral rites.
‘I don’t think there’s anything particularly beneficial. Still, you never know.’
I started to turn slightly ahead of my colleagues.
“Crack, crack, crack!”
“Huh? Down here?”
Nod-
When I gave a signal pointing to the destination after about 10 minutes of travel, my colleagues’ eyes sparkled.
Hayun wasn’t there at the time, but the rest of the colleagues were together when they discovered the mine. He seemed to think I had discovered something great again.
‘Nothing… Nothing.’
I felt a bit sorry for giving you hope for no reason, but I had to check it out first.
‘There’s no need to go in through the rotating door.’
[Tunnel Destroyer]
Kwakwakwakwa-
After digging a tunnel and repeating going down and up several times, a great tunnel was completed.
It took less than 3 minutes.
This is the moment when you can really feel the effect of raising your skill level in a dark space.
‘Digging is the best!’
“Hey, Mr. Skeleton? Are you a ground dog? If you’re good at that, what are we going to do…”
JooA pouted her lips with an expression of boredom.
Yeonhee was constantly scratching the back of her head in embarrassment.
But I knew that JooA wasn’t sincere when she reacted like that.
Because there’s no one who doesn’t like being sucked at a talented party.
“Hey, let’s go in first!”
People who follow me into the underground space.
The place we arrived at in less than 10 minutes seems to be the same space used by the blue-eyed guys.
