Chapter 155 – Chapter 155
“Beyond the double gate, triple… Maybe even more…”
“If you see various monsters being confirmed, wouldn’t it be highly likely?”
Kim Isol, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between me and my senior, inadvertently spat out a word.
“Like… Earth…”
She’s right.
I also had a thought like that that just happened to pass by.
Whether the world beyond the gate is a place far out in space.
Or something connected to another dimension.
We treat them like monsters, but those monsters are actually just a different kind of creature, and the dungeon is where they live.
Just like humans living on Earth.
Recalling the uproar caused by the appearance of the double gate not too long ago, perhaps the strangest thing is the earth itself?
In a short period of just ten years, tens of thousands of gates have appeared all over the world.
If you think that this place is not a dungeon, but another planet with slightly different types of creatures, it wouldn’t be too strange if there were dozens and hundreds of gates like Earth.
I used to think about it in delusions sometimes.
“Isn’t that rather good?”
“What?”
Hong Eun-young said bluntly, and everyone’s eyes were focused.
Even in the focused gaze, he opens his mouth with a calm expression.
“If monsters hit each other and fight each other, it’s a welcome thing from a human point of view. All you have to do is defeat the last surviving A-class monster. It’s like blowing your nose without touching your hands.”
“That’s true, but in the end, there is a limit to human resources that can defeat A-class monsters. If you think that powerful A-class monsters may suddenly pop out of a gate that was previously B-class or lower, that’s a huge risk factor.”
“Hmm… Wouldn’t it be better if they all died after fighting among themselves and the number of A-class monsters, who were the final victors, didn’t increase? Rather, the probability of regurgitating through the gate would decrease… It would increase the space inside for them to occupy. .”
“It’s not just that the space is narrow, so it flows backwards, isn’t it? Even in this dungeon, there was such a wide space underground… It just popped out like that in the basement of Seoul last week. Besides, most monsters are aggressive. If it’s gone, it’ll eventually come running towards us. More fundamentally… There’s no answer other than finding a way to completely destroy the gate itself.”
A character who has immediately joined our conversation.
Na Hyun-hee said.
It seemed that he thought of me as a leader and wanted to hear my decision quickly.
“Kang Jeong-Hyuk. So, what are you planning to do now? If you get out of here, you will have no choice but to fight those monsters. Will this mess continue or are you going to go underground again?”
“The purpose of our expedition is to rescue Park Yu-ri and the attacking party. If they had climbed the same stairs as us… Did you see the broken door? I’ll have to bet on the odds. I don’t think I’ll be able to find another trace after a few more days of searching underground.”
“So you’re saying you want a place in that mess?”
“I guess that’s something we can’t choose from. Get out of the way!”
A harpy and a gargoyle who had been fighting in the air for a while.
It was the gargoyle that excelled not only in terms of number of heads but also in terms of skill.
As the number of harpies decreased significantly, they searched for other prey, but did they like us?
Or maybe these artificial structures were their preference rather than meadows or forests.
Dozens of them rushed in front of us at the same time.
“Did the guys I met underground enter through this way?”
“That’s later! Everybody back up.”
We didn’t get out of the passage that came up from the basement yet, and we just kept a close eye on the situation outside.
Monsters flying towards us at great speed.
In this position, I can block long-range attacks without using the absolute area, to the extent that I stand in the front.
One sword is enough.
There is still enough room for magic attribute.
“Lee-Sol Kim and Hyeon-Hee Na, protect the others behind me.”
It is said that these guys are at the level of A-rank dungeon boss monsters enough to be displayed on the special radar.
It’s not really a boss if it’s flying like this sometimes, but it can go to the goal the moment you’re not careful.
It must be knocked down at once in the most efficient way.
Fortunately, unlike the underground, it is perfectly possible to secure the view here, and since it is still inside the building, the wings of those who have entered here are not having a great effect.
And there was no need to deal with dozens of them at the same time.
You only have to deal with up to five of them at a time.
At this level, there was no need to activate the flying sword.
Having two transcendental swordsmen standing behind him was reassuring, so he decided to run wild freely.
“Actually, I really wanted to fight like this once.”
It has always fought by relying on magical powers and flying swords.
He was more like a javelin than a swordsman.
It was also quite effective, but if you are a swordsman, can you imagine going wild with a little more flair?
Sword dance.
This is also a skill Kim Isol had.
I wanted to go wild, but my heart calmed down, perhaps because of the nature of the skill.
The overflowing mana flowed through the whole body and rose through the sword held tightly in both hands.
These gargoyles had amazing flying speeds, but they weren’t the type to move so quickly.
Rather than using a vast amount of mana for agile movements, it seemed that he was spending a lot on flying using his wings.
The movement approaching me was clearly visible even without the use of Acceleration.
Took the first step
Even I was surprised by the effortless movement.
The sword’s trajectory drew a soft arc.
The feeling of cutting something is transmitted through the palm.
Thud!
The body of the first guy I swung was split open and fell to the floor.
A feeling as if the tofu had been cut.
Is it the effect of the new sword union?
As if he was drunk, he was intoxicated with the intense satisfaction of becoming a great master of a sword.
That doesn’t mean he was careless.
My movement, which spread like a calm wave, gracefully dodged the attack they were making, and the sword in my hand swung in an arc in succession.
As if putting on a play according to the prepared script, they collapsed to the floor one by one.
It didn’t take long to cut down dozens of gargoyles.
I took down all the guys with minimal magical power in tens of seconds without getting a single scratch.
On the floor, only the severed stone statues and their fragments, hardened to stone and unable to move, were strewn about.
“Whoa…”
I let out a deep breath and ended using the skill.
I was surprised even myself.
I never thought I would have been able to move like this.
And I regret that I have wasted so much mana.
It’s only been a week since I was attacked in the last dungeon.
Powerful enemies to face in the future.
Who would have known that the effect of repeated image training and training while recalling the goddamn Transcendental Bastards would be so great.
From now on, I don’t think I need to rely too much on transcendent skills.
At that time, it seems important to select and operate the necessary technology appropriately.
Now that I can’t get permission 4 right away, I felt the need to constantly research about essential growth rather than doing nothing.
“Everyone will move again. I have a good idea.”
Even thinking about it, I think I’m pretty cool right now, and my heart was proud.
I didn’t turn my head to hide my expression in order to pretend to be more cool.
Everyone must have their mouths gaping because my battle looks so great.
Without answering, I immediately ran out of the building.
“What about those that show up on the special radar?”
“It’s still there. I think the gargoyles and those giants in the sky are like that.”
Even if I didn’t have to check it, I could tell by looking at the way it went back.
The strongest in this area are gargoyles and giants.
The other monsters were just constantly pushing through head count.
“Please be careful not to get involved unnecessarily and follow me. Mr. Chae-Eun and Mr. Chae Min-Woo, next to me.”
“Yes!? Oh, yes!”
The two follow my orders like swords.
I immediately returned my magic to both of them.
A transcendent class fire mage and healer were immediately added to full power.
“I’ll leave the back to you two.”
“Yes!”
“Thank you. I’ll do my best.”
“It’s still temporary, so even if you like it, it’s a problem.”
“Don’t worry. Never betrayed…”
I don’t worry about betrayal.
I don’t even trust you in the first place, so why should I worry about betrayal?
I just loosened the reins for a while.
If they run amok, I have to catch them and kill them.
Feeling the eyes of many looking up to me, I moved through the mess.
The destination is a relatively safe place in the distance.
Among the several gates I checked by strengthening my vision, it was a place where monsters were not pouring out at all.
“Wait here for now. Build a defensive line, and Na Hyun-hee, watch if there are any monsters coming out of this gate. Others, build a line and don’t pull aggro as much as possible. But, take down the minimum number of those who approach.”
Everyone must have realized the level of my skills now, and everyone followed my orders without a single reply.
I plan to leave them behind and head into this gate alone.
All the corpses on the floor nearby belonged to goblins.
If it’s a gate where the weakest monsters, regulars of F-class dungeons, pop out, there’s no need to worry too much, but just in case, I’ll enter first to ensure safety.
“Be careful, chief!”
“Who cares about whom now?”
“Be careful though.”
“…You saw me fighting!”
“You idiot. But I’m worried.”
“That’s right!”
“That… Really? I’ll be right back anyway…”
Suddenly, heat rose to my face.
As if to hide it, I hurriedly moved into the gate.
The view changed in an instant, and a completely different scenery came into view.
I thought I wouldn’t be vigilant in the slightest, but it might have been based on the idea that a group of F-class goblins or even that boss would be my opponent just because they appeared.
Okay.
I was a bit caught off guard.
Grip support.
Super fast like light.
No, there was actually a flash of light.
Fleeting moment.
A sharp blade was hanging from my neck.
[Resists the electric shock. It consumed 2.4% energy.]
“Why are you here?”
“… Hey, I’m here to get you…”
This fucking bitch
