Chapter 546 – Splitting the Sky (1)
“Although this dungeon has already been cleared, it is classified as S-class. A strong enemy appears that can cost you your life if you make a mistake.”
Professor Jeon Yeon-nam spoke to me in front of the entrance to the dungeon.
Since it is a cleared dungeon, I can examine its general composition, but I intentionally did not look at anything other than the grade.
If you actually go to a dungeon, you don’t go in knowing all the information.
“I know.”
When I nodded and answered, Professor Jeon Yeon-nam sighed slightly and continued the story.
“I think that with the capabilities that Xian showed in this final exam, it is enough for him to clear the exam on his own, but he will have to constantly doubt every situation. Because there are so many variables taking place in that large gap between Class A and Class S. The scariest thing is. It’s a mental attack, but I’m resistant to it… “
As a result of rapid growth for nearly half a year, most resistance levels have increased significantly.
After being at the bottom of the Academy for exactly half a year, a year later, we are now at the top.
“Professor, don’t worry.”
Although I spoke in a confident voice, the professor looked at the watch I was wearing on my left wrist as if he was still worried about sending me to an S-class dungeon alone.
“If you have any problems, contact your watch right away.”
“If I call you, will you come running right away?”
“It cuts through space and rushes in.”
He entered the dungeon thinking that the professor was very trustworthy.
“If it’s a Hansian student, it’s not like I have to worry that much.”
Professor Jeon Yeon-nam spoke softly as he looked at the back of his student, who was close to the transcendentalists of Utopia when it came to his special moves, but was now superior in every aspect.

Going beyond the broken space was new every time.
If you are possessed in the lower world, it feels like you are gently permeating into that class, but in the dungeon, it feels like you are suddenly flooded with mana of a new nature.
I didn’t really get that feeling in the low-level dungeons because the amount of mana they had was small, but I felt it clearly from the high-level A-level dungeons I visited recently.
When I opened my eyes wide and checked the general atmosphere of the dungeon, I saw that it had an environment close to modern times.
The tall buildings were the most noticeable, followed by the green color that did not suit the city.
Looking at the huge vine plants and moss surrounding the gray building, it seemed to be a dungeon modeled after a world that was ruined for some reason.
“S-class dungeons are definitely very different.”
Presence detection – flame.
I decided to send out a wave of heat to the surroundings and look for life.
The wave spread out in a very wide direction and found a few creatures with cold blood, but there was a problem.
“It’s very big.”
Kugugung!
As if sensing my presence, the ground slowly shook and the huge monster lifted its body.
After making several improvements, I adjusted it to a point where it wouldn’t be detected by most opponents, but I have cold blood…
‘Isn’t it detected?’
I think it was just a coincidence, like when the crow flew and the ship fell.
A guy with overall gray skin with green moss on his back started walking in a different direction than where I was.
Since I didn’t know what I had to do to clear the dungeon, I decided to follow that guy.
Yeongtu (影套). Daepyeongbo (踏影步).
Not only did I hide my body in the shadow, but I also dyed my surroundings with the shadow and then ran while stepping on the shadow.
It’s been quite a while since I followed the giant monster while hiding its presence.
The big guy was not slow, so he moved a long distance in an instant, but there was a huge barrier there.
Toda da da da da da!!!
Quang! Kwaang!
The people on the wall began firing machine guns and missiles to intercept the giant monster.
‘What kind of dungeon is this… ?’
Rather than entering a dungeon, did I use summer possession? It was to the point where I was mistaken for a moment.
However, even though people were unleashing maximum firepower on the monster, the monster’s advance could not be stopped.
Kwasik!
The monster that rushed in after receiving all the attacks opened its large mouth and a bit into the barrier.
The firepower used to block the monsters stopped, but everyone began to evacuate from the wall because they knew they could no longer stop the monsters.
‘I don’t know which side I should take.’
I decided to buy time to make a decision by driving out the monsters.
Ten wheels of wave ring resonance.
One wheel of flame burning equipment.
Kwaaaaang!
The white flame passed through one ring and struck the side of the monster that had chewed through the barrier.
Because it kills heat and provides maximum purification power, it acts as a strong physical force and barely burns the green moss.
“□□□□□□□□?”
The gray monster slowly turned its head in the direction where I was standing.
But since he couldn’t find me wearing a shadow, he shook his head back and forth and slowly began to back away from the barrier.
I headed toward the barrier, watching the monster retreat away from the barrier.
“What? Are you backing out?”
“Did you see that white thing?”
“I survived…”
When the monster destroyed the barrier, the people who were running away came to the edge, saw the monster retreating, and threw out a few words.
“Start by counting the casualties! All remaining personnel repair the barriers!”
When the person who appeared to be the leader of the barrier shouted loudly, the people who had relaxed a little gathered their angles and started moving again.
It seemed quite adept at repairing damaged barriers using equipment slightly more advanced than modern technology.
I was quite disturbed to see that.
‘What on earth is this dungeon?’
*
Wearing a shadow, I slowly walked around beyond the barrier.
Like an outpost, green tents were pitched here and there, but the tents didn’t look that good.
Inside the tent were what appeared to be bullets or extra weapons, which seemed to be stored to be placed on top of the barrier.
As on the wall, only the human race was present, and everyone seemed nervous due to the monster attack a while ago.
“The barrier was broken, but no one died, right?”
“You’ll find out when you come down…”
Someone who cares about the people on the wall. A person who is resigned to the current situation.
What should I do to clear this dungeon with so many people? If you end up killing all the giant monsters, that’s all you need to do.
I’m not sure why I arrived in such a strange dungeon because it’s an S-class dungeon.
‘The person who can get information is the leader of the barrier… ‘
“The support team quickly moves to the barrier! We need to prepare again for the monster attack!”
It seemed like that man was leading his men out of a bunker beneath the ground.
“Restore the barrier and fill up with bullets!”
I went down to the basement through the open door.
*
The upper part felt like an outpost, but the lower part seemed to have been a converted subway to create a space where people could live.
Although it was a fairly large space, the underground still poses problems for people to live in.
As I walked around the basement, I saw a young woman holding a baby who looked like she had just been born, and an old man who seemed to have lost hope in life.
The youth were manufacturing bullets and firearms for use above in a factory-like place, and there didn’t seem to be that much material left.
‘I think we will reach a limit soon because we cannot properly supply.’
When I roughly figured out the situation in the dungeon, a dark green window appeared in front of me.
I felt uncomfortable that the status window was dark green rather than the light blue I usually see, but the content wasn’t that special.
『Dungeon Main Quest』
《Restore the light.》
‘It is light.’
I thought it was a very vague goal, but fortunately there was a sub-quest.
「Quest-1」
〈Kill (0/5) Stonesh.〉
「Quest-2」
〈Revealed upon completing Quest-1.〉
「Quest-3」
〈Revealed upon completing Quest-2.〉
It doesn’t mean everything is there, but you just have to follow it one by one.
Stonesh was most likely the word people here used to refer to the giant gray monster seen earlier.
‘It won’t be particularly difficult.’
I can’t say that an enemy that can be defeated even without using Afterflame Breakthrough is a difficult enemy for me to deal with.
*
Kwaaaaa!
“This is five.”
I reached the number specified by the quest by piercing the back of the guy sleeping in the ground.
「Quest-2」
〈Kill (0/3) Besamos.〉
What is Besamos? When I saw the moss in it, I thought it looked like it was related to bugs.
“Stonesh and Besamos are monsters I’ve never heard of before.”
Although time was spent on improving combat power, the basic knowledge was already sufficient.
Just because it’s an S-class dungeon, the monster’s information isn’t necessarily kept secret…
Buuuuung!
While I was thinking that, I heard a loud sound that echoed throughout the space.
When I protected my ears with my inner energy to muffle the sound, I realized that it was the sound of insects flapping their wings, and I thought that the only place they could target was the barrier.
‘I have to go back quickly.’
I jumped high, bursting the heat ring inside my body.
Reaching the highest point, I created a ring of shadow and heat and turned to the huge bug in the distance.
Black and white twin wheels, super acceleration.
A black ring was formed in front and a white ring was formed behind, and as I was moving forward receiving acceleration from the white ring, I passed through the black ring and increased my speed further.
Besamos was flying in from three directions of the barrier that had split the sky, waving its large wings.
Black Wheel Yunbo.
I created nine rings of shadows with sharp ends and held them in my hand.
Circular flow spiral X3
Rotate your body, apply rotational force to your arms, and apply rotational force to the flying ring.
Boom! Pop! Boom!
A spinning black ring exploded as it passed through Besamos’ body.
When I passed the second quest and landed on the ground, people wearing large earmuffs to block the vibrations that exploded their eardrums were watching me come down from the sky.
「Quest-3」
〈Protect the Garam area from monster attacks. 〉
〈Time remaining 24:00〉
For me now, fighting all day is not that difficult.
‘This is very awkward.’
The problem was that I had to live with people who looked at me with eyes full of fear as I fell from the sky.
