Chapter 41 – Shouldn’t We Pursue Weird Situations in Dungeons? (10)
Streams of light run down the wall.
The stems that ran up and down the walls as if they were cracked were all magic.
“Hey, what are you doing?”
Shin Yoo-jung, who was ahead of me, looked at the ceiling and looked at me curiously.
“Uh… , I think I found something.”
“Find? What?”
“Well.”
Shouldn’t we know that by now?
Beams of magic spread all over the wall, but there was only one place where they came from.
Luminescent stones scattered in the ceiling of the cavity emit weak light.
From the glowstone embedded in the center, all the rays of light originate.
“Hmm.”
It is clear that it plays a pivotal role in the phenomenon surrounding me.
I don’t know how to do that.
“Hey, what did you find?”
Shin Yoo-jung, who couldn’t wait, jabbed my side and urged me to answer.
It’s because I’m so impatient, Won.
I was about to say something to tell him to wait patiently, but then he stopped.
Looking at the frowning face, the words I want to say fit perfectly.
Instead, I pointed my hand at the glowstone on the ceiling.
“That glowstone, something is a little strange.”
The guy who was following my finger at the glowstone frowned.
“What is strange? It’s the kind of glowstone you see often in this type of dungeon.”
They look the same, I know.
After much thought, I made a decision.
It is more than 5m tall from the ceiling.
I wouldn’t have made it to press something like a button.
So, let’s break it.
Gather magic power and create a single sphere.
「Magic Missile.」
A common basic enchantment with no attributes.
The only characteristic of this is that it attacks the enemy with the physical power of the united mana even though it is made of magic.
“Hey, what is this all of a sudden?”
Shin Yoo-jung is embarrassed and steps back.
Without replying, I fired a magic missile at the glowstone that touched my eye.
Whoops!
The sphere flew with great force and shattered the glowstone.
“Hey, why would you break the poor glowstone….”
Before she could say anything, the change had begun.
When the glowstone that supplied mana to the entire wall was broken, the beams of light that flowed along the wall like a spider’s web gradually faded and then disappeared.
Kugu Palace
At that moment, the entire earth shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
“Uh, uh… , What is this, why is this?”
Koo Goo Goo
The sound of something collapsing stimulates the ominous.
“Everyone beware!”
Ji-an Yoon, who had been watching this, came running and stood in front of the two of us.
“Never fall behind me.”
Very nervous, she said to us.
Shin Yoo-jung, who was swaying along with the shaking of the ground, grabbed my shoulder and shook her.
“Hey, what have you done? It happened because of the Magic Missile earlier, right?!”
I feel sick.
The ground is still shaking and I’m about to die, but although I can’t help it, it’s making me nauseous.
Fall!
More and more ominous sounds are heard.
The source of the sound was the wall surrounding it.
“The wall is cracked… !”
As Yoon Ji-an said, the sounds and vibrations I hear now are incidental to the cracks in the wall.
Cracks began to form from the part adjacent to the floor, the farthest from the glowstone that supplies mana, and then gradually rose to the place where the glowstone was.
I suddenly feel that way.
Disassembly was said to be the reverse of assembly, probably.
The reason I thought this was because the ceiling that cracked last started to collapse first.
“Shin Yu-jeong, shield!”
“Because I know, you bow your head!”
It can’t be.
At the debris that started to fall, I overlaid my magic on the shield I lifted.
「Shield.」
A thin film of magical power surrounds us around the shield.
It’s going to be hard to stop all those wreckage with this one.
Then one more.
「Ice Shield.」
On top of the layer of mana, another layer of ice was created.
Perhaps he was thinking of intercepting the falling debris, Yun Ji-an, who was clenching his fists, subtly loosened his stance.
“Hey, if you’re going to use defensive magic, just use it. Why did you focus on my shield?”
Shin Yoo-jeong stared at it disapprovingly, holding onto the shield that was fixed because of the shield.
There’s no reason why
“Because that makes it stronger… ?”
It’s true that I’ve put two layers of shields on, but I’m still uneasy.
Judging from the fact that the offensive magic was much stronger than expected, the defensive magic would also be more efficient than expected, but it was just a guess.
“You’re not fucking me on purpose, are you?”
“Yeah, it can’t be.”
I’m sorry I can’t speak well.
Due to the manifestation of magic centered on the shield, the guy should be able to stretch his arms toward the sky without moving, but I really didn’t mean to do that.
Really.
Tung! Fighting! Tung!
Debris crashes into hard frozen ice.
Another ceiling is revealed above the fallen ceiling.
I lowered my gaze and looked over the wall that was also crumbling down.
What was glimpsed through the pouring stone rain was a large stone statue.
Standing with one hand holding the glasses on his face and holding a book in the other, staring resolutely in one direction.
“… Goblin?”
While looking at the stone statue and being mesmerized, a message came to mind.
[You have entered the Trial of Kalash.]
Was the hobgoblin a while ago not a boss, but a mid-boss?
It happens sometimes
In dungeons with mid-bosses, the safety room also appears twice.
That’s why the party who lacks specs in completely clearing the dungeon uses a strategy of killing only the mid-boss, collecting rewards, and then running away, maybe.
It seemed that this place was also part of such a dungeon.
“Hey… , Did you see it too?”
Shin Yoo-jeong, who belatedly checked the message window, asks me with a half-fazed expression.
“Uh, just.”
“I just hit the glowstone….”
“Perhaps it was a clue to finding a way here.”
Haha.”
What filled Shin Yoo-jung’s eyes with an awkward smile was joy.
When a dungeon first occurs, each guild pays a large amount of money to purchase the right to attack it.
The reason is that.
[You have entered Kalash’s Trial for the first time.]
[When clearing the dungeon, the level of the reward increases by one level.]
It is for this very reason.
Dungeon rewards are divided into five stages.
Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond.
It feels like I just moved the ranked game rating of a game that was famous when I was young.
This refers to the rim of a wooden reward box.
Bronze if it consists of a brown rim, silver if it consists of a silver rim, etc.
Depending on the color of the border, the rewards contained within it also vary greatly.
The box that had only one magic stone in it was, of course, bronze.
“Then the reward is at least silver… !”
Silver Tier Rewards.
There are people who ignore that this is right above bronze, but if you get a good magic stone plus equipment here, you can earn hundreds to thousands.
Hunter equipment is so expensive, so there is such a thing, but for aspiring hunters like us, millions of won for a single dungeon is huge.
Finally all the rubble fell.
“Hey, release the shield quickly, quickly!”
I couldn’t overcome the excited guy’s torch and immediately retrieved the magic power left in the shield.
The transparent barrier in front of him disappeared, and the freed fellow clasped his shield on his back and hurried toward the goblin statue, which made no sense at all.
Looking at it, I think that a child is a child.
Anyway, it should be seen as a new dungeon from this point forward, but they ran at their own pace, knowing what was lurking there.
If my raiding party was like that in the past, I would have ripped the joint straight away.
“Poetry, Shin Yoo-jung! Wait a minute!”
Yoon Ji-an hurriedly called, but as if he couldn’t hear him, he strode forward with light steps.
I can’t help it.
“Follow me. I think that would be better than leaving them alone.”
“Um… , I understand for now.”
After her troubles, she followed Shin Yoo-jung with me.
After leaving the boundary line made of collapsed rubble, what I saw before long was a huge cavity that was incomparable to that of a moment ago.
“Yah! Come here quickly!”
Shin Yoo-jeong, who arrived in front of the goblin stone statue, calls us to see if she has found something about her.
Looking at the guy who ran amok with impunity, me and Yoon Ji-an shook their heads at the same time.
This is definitely a new dungeon area.
I couldn’t confirm anything, so I didn’t know the level of difficulty, the monsters that came out, or the structure of the traps.
“Oh, hurry up!”
In front of the goblin stone statue, who trudged and trudged along.
“No matter how you look at it, this isn’t it.”
A goblin with glasses and an open book.
As I said before, goblins are multi-species within an individual.
There are shamans and shamans among them.
There is no goblin that looks like a scholar.
“Look at this, this.”
Shin Yoo-jung, who couldn’t stand the short wait, grabbed her by the shoulder and led her somewhere.
At the foot of the huge stone statue, there was a stone tablet with an unknown writing on it.
“This… , Unknown text.”
Yun Ji-an, who arrived late, said while looking at the stone tablet.
UnKnown Text.
It is a generic term for the language written on stone tablets and walls that are occasionally found in dungeons.
Through this, scholars are preaching that dungeons are part of a different world connected to the earth.
Having a language means that civilization existed, and since this is a language that does not exist anywhere on earth, it is clear that it is a different world.
What… , From the point of view of the hunters who work hard in the field, it doesn’t matter if this is another world or Earth.
What draws my attention now is the magic that flows steadily along the letters carved into the stone slab.
“Hmm….”
Curious as to what else this might be, I put my hand on the stone slab, and a very interesting thing happened.
The magic that flowed along with the very first string was sucked through my hand.
And that magical power gave me knowledge, not power.
“Nice to meet you, one who has proven his qualifications. I am Kalash, the Goblin Alchemist who created this dungeon… ?”
As I recited the magic power tickling in my head, the two of them turned their heads to me.
“What did you just say… ?”
“Are you sure you are reading this text just now… ?”
“No, I didn’t read it….”
I looked at the slate once more.
Still I can’t read any text.
However, the meaning conveyed by magic power came out of his mouth.
“Wait a minute.”
After calming them down, I put my hand on the slate again.
Second line this time.
“If you are looking at this slab, it must mean that I successfully solved the device I made through small clues.”
I’m sorry, but I couldn’t find any clues.
I just borrowed the power of a fraudulent eye and forcibly opened it.
I immediately put my hand on the third row.
“In this dungeon, the treasure I cultivated all my life lies dormant. This is only you who have proven your qualifications by destroying my device can get a chance to have….”
Then the fourth row.
“He who is not qualified cannot be with you… ?”
It was then that I read the story.
Rattle! Knock!
The doors on the left and right of the goblin statue opened.
“Why did that door suddenly open?”
“Well… ?”
I shook my head at Shin Yoo-jung’s question.
Why do I feel strange about something?
Let’s read the next line first.
“He who is not worthy, let him enter through the open door… , If you don’t enter before the door closes, you will be forever isolated in this dungeon… , What?”
Anyway, the person who unlocked the secret of this dungeon is me.
In the end, it means that I am the one who has proven my qualifications, so the two of them naturally become unqualified.
Awesome-
The door began to close very slowly.
Seeing that you don’t even give me enough time to think, I know one thing for sure.
That Kalash is terribly stingy with time.
“It would be nice to go in first.”
Yoon Ji-an opened the right door first and entered.
Shin Yoo-jung hesitated for a moment, but soon she came towards me, not the door.
“Hey. Looking back now, it seems like our fate is hanging on you.”
“… I know.”
Ah, I don’t like situations where my shoulders are heavy.
Shin Yoo-jung lifted her fist and lightly slapped her on the chest.
Puck!
“Ugh….”
It’s obviously light, but why the hell is it hurting?
It’s just that the fist itself is hard.
Being a natural hard puncher must be what you’re talking about about that bitch.
The moment he frowned in pain, the guy’s body odor seeped into his nostrils.
Side!
The guy who approached me in an instant kissed my lips.
It was only for a moment, but the feeling lingered on my lips.
“This is the reward for clearing the dungeon earlier.”
The guy who did the shocking thing turned his back with his face red.
“If we successfully clear this dungeon… , A better reward than this goes out.”
She left those words and went inside the half-closed door on the left.
“…….”
I was lost in thought.
What’s after the kiss?
Titty touching, sucking, or fella… , Or is it paisley?
“Oh, let go.”
There are so many things that come to mind.
The year that Shin Yu-jeong desired.
“I’m going to tell you what….”
If you can’t clear this dungeon, know that it’s your fault for leaving me with agony.
