Chapter 107 – {The Thieves’ Conspiracy} 2
{The Thieves’ Conspiracy}
‘Kang Mi-hyeon, that bitch’s responsibility is obvious.’
Indeed, Seo Mun-hyeon was in a hurry to beautify and defend that year forcibly.
There is no after story, but I wondered if Ye Eun-chae, a righteous woman, would have been greatly disappointed in Seo Mun-hyeon and turned around because of this.
No matter how much it is said that it is a heroine position that actively appeals to the main character, he was a person who would not sympathize with such hypocrisy as Ye Eun-chae, who had personally experienced it in this world.
“Chun, I’m about to go in, are you ready?”
“Yes, I’m ready.”
“Me too. I’m ready too.”
Ye Eun-chae took out a sword and sharpened her senses.
I also nodded my head to see her becoming serious only in battle, unlike her usual innocent and innocent appearance.
“Okay then let’s go in.”
That’s how Ye Eun-chae and I entered the dungeon together.
* * *
Kieeck!
Entering the dungeon, what Ye Eun-chae and I could see was the appearance of killer ants proliferating without knowing the end.
“What is this?”
As soon as she entered the dungeon, she slashed the few Killer Ants that ran with her sword and dropped her corpse down the cliff. .
The interior of the dungeon, a fragment of another dimension, was made in the form of a mountain full of rocks and soil that could be seen clearly below.
And killer ants proliferated everywhere on the way down, and the group of killer ants that could climb even the flat side of a rocky mountain that humans couldn’t walk on was threatening.
Even the sticky woods scattered all over the place could be climbed up the cliff, so even the topography was a real hell for the Magic Awakeners.
‘The road is about 3 meters long. It’s not narrow, but it’s not very wide either.’
The space to fight was a limited structure, but the opponents were not just guys who just compete head-to-head, but guys who even fired sticky slime.
Even the slime that fell on the floor took a few minutes to harden, so if you accidentally stepped on it, your feet could stick to it.
It was a dungeon with an extremely difficult and dangerous structure that didn’t cost enough to understand why the magic awakeners neglected it.
‘The composition of the monsters and even the topography are all troublesome.’
However, that was not the reason Ye Eun-chae was perplexed right now.
She came here because she knew that it was such a dungeon in the first place.
She was taken aback by the endless group of Killer Ants at the bottom of the mountain.
There were so many that the floor looked black.
At this rate, the dungeon runaway seemed likely to happen tomorrow.
“Thousand, it’s strange. In terms of time, it’s not yet time for Killer Ants to multiply like that.”
When the warriors belonging to the Ye family searched for nearby dungeons as advance corps and gathered entrances and simple information, there was also information about the dungeon here.
Information about this dungeon was recorded on her smartphone.
It was not an official app, but an app developed and used by the Ye family. It contained information on dungeons near the Ye family as well as predictions on the growth rate of monsters.
“Originally, how much was it?”
“It wouldn’t have been even 1/10 of that. It must have been close to two months until the runaway…”
Ye Eun-chae, who showed a puzzled gaze, soon came up with a possibility.
“Then… I don’t think this is a natural phenomenon. Chen, I think, but it seems that someone intervened.”
Ye Eun-chae’s words were correct.
“Yes, there must be someone who intervened in this case.”
As I said that, I figured out where and what the person who planned this was doing.
‘Kang Mi-hyeon’s subordinate, Lee Kyu-cheok. This guy is trying to make the dungeon runaway.’
The act of slightly stimulating the dungeon was repeated so that the monsters inside the dungeon rapidly proliferated.
For example, to imprint that there are intruders in the dungeon, they inflict wounds all over the dungeon, and inflict only light wounds on the monsters and do not kill them.
Then, in order to eliminate the intruder, the dungeon tries to deal with it somehow by producing monsters more quickly.
It was a matter of being killed by monsters unless you were a skilled person to some extent, but if this stimulation is repeated, the monsters continue to multiply even after the intruder escapes from the dungeon.
Since the death of the invader could not be confirmed, it was to be sure to remove it in case it invaded again.
‘But it’s not enough to catch Lee Gyu-cheok.’
He was a villain belonging to a gang of bandits, and he was a villain based in Korea.
As a result, his skills were by no means the weakest among the thieves, and he was a dangerous opponent even as an active villain.
‘In the original work, we met after Eunchae became stronger.’
“Hmm, I can detect it.”
“Cloth?”
“Anyway, Eunchae. It seems there are other people besides us in this dungeon right now.”
At my words, Ye Eun-chae did not doubt or ask how she knew.
With absolute trust in me, she asked another question.
“Cheon, is there a high possibility that he is the culprit who made the dungeon like this?”
“Almost 100%.”
At my words, Ye Eun-chae’s purple eyes were filled with bloody murder.
“Yes. Then I’ll never be able to forgive you.”
At Ye Eun-chae’s words, I prepared to reach out my hand toward the countless monsters below.
‘As expected, it’s more magic than a sword to wipe out the majority.’
I didn’t even have to drag it out for a long time.
“First of all, wipe out the monsters and deal with them.”
Lee Gyu-cheok was breeding monsters while hiding his body with something like a stealth artifact.
However, his miscalculation may be that he never imagined that the Ye family would be aware of the unpopular dungeons around them.
It was common sense that if it was an unpopular dungeon, it would be roughly checked, and if it seemed too dangerous, it would be dealt with or left to the state to deal with.
However, Ye Eun-chae, who has a strong sense of justice, was interested in information about this dungeon, and she was constantly receiving information through the Ye family app installed on her phone, so she was able to understand the number of monsters in the past and the speed of their proliferation. Was able to determine how much
As a result, if she intervened in such a obvious way, Ye Eun-chae could not help but notice her.
‘This must be unexpected too.’
It was Lee Gyu-cheok’s misfortune that he could not have imagined that there would be a righteous person in the Ye family who meticulously took care of the dungeon that was abandoned and unpopular.
However, it will be good luck for people around the area, including Ui-dong.
“Cheon, are you trying to show off your ability to process that many numbers quickly?”
“Okay.”
“Well, if it’s the power of the cloth, it won’t be strange no matter what I do, so I’ll look forward to it.”
I laughed a little at Ye Eun-chae’s words and added.
“Don’t be surprised that it’s beyond your imagination.”
Then, I lightly cast magic while gathering magic power into my fingertips.
“Continuous Explosion.”
Kwaaang! Kwaaang! Kwaaang!
A series of explosions occurred, and the sight of countless groups of Killer Ants being swept away by the explosions and disappearing without a trace was seen.
Not all the Killer Ants in this dungeon were dealt with because the range was adjusted, but all the sticky Woods mixed in between the countless groups of Killer Ants gathered in the dark below were all dealt with.
“Ah.”
And Ye Eun-chae, who saw the destructive power, was looking at me blankly.
The destructive power I showed was so shocking that I was at a loss for words.
“It’s amazing… That’s right.”
But soon, only pure admiration flashed on her face.
Although she showed off her skills beyond her imagination, she had no questions or doubts about her.
She had just as much trust in me as she did in pure admiration for my abilities.
“Cheon, how many monsters are left in the current dungeon?”
“Once the Killer Ants and Sticky Woods on the way down the mountain, which were out of the range of the explosion, are fine, about 5% will remain.”
And the exit was now behind them.
Because there was only one entrance and one exit.
“I’ve been guarding this place, and he’ll show up someday. But it’s better to catch him before he messes with the dungeon again, right?”
“I think so too, Chun.”
“Yes, then Eunchae. Would you like to hold me in my arms for a while?”
“What, what? What, what are you talking about?”
At my words, Ye Eun-chae’s serious face turned red and she stammered with a confused expression.
“If you want to go down quickly, I’m carrying you in my arms to fly to your destination. That’s the quickest way to reach the villain.”
There were still monsters on the way down, so movement would be hindered. Also, it took more time to move as it went down in a circle.
“Ugh, sorry. I was mistaken. Oh, I got it. Ugh!”
Ye Eun-chae, stuttering her words in her embarrassment, put her sword back into her scabbard and carefully prepared to hold her next to me, and I took her into my princess embrace.
The nice scent I felt from Yeeunchae holding her like that made me feel very refreshed.
“Then let’s go.”
