#20. Hound Dungeon (2)
“Is it there?”
In the middle of Yeouido Hangang Park.
At first glance, a strange cylindrical building was rising tall.
‘It’s really amazing… .’
When I was young, I was amazed that such a building could be created overnight.
But now, the diligence of the gods is just amazing.
‘You must have worked hard all night again…’
Many people were already gathered in front of the pyramid, and it seemed like interviews were in full swing before entering.
“Please be prepared for this attack!”
In response to a reporter’s question, a person who appeared to be the leader of the attack team stepped forward.
It was a familiar face.
‘Address rate… .’
She maintained an expressionless expression the entire time.
“As always, the Sangun Guild will do its best.”
With just that one word, she walked towards the dungeon.
I wanted to immediately ask how I knew Baek Seol’s name last time, but I couldn’t.
Dozens of Sangun guild members stood behind her.
It is not easy to access.
The same goes for reporters.
“Please say one more word!”
“A dungeon has appeared in the middle of Seoul again. What do you think?”
“Mr. Ju So-yul! “Please look here!”
Amidst the clamor, she took a leisurely step.
At the same time, dozens of guild members followed her as one.
‘It’s kind of cool.’
“ah! This is not the time. “I have to catch up quickly.”
In any case, I need to check the effect of the newly acquired title.
I put my hat on tightly.
From the labyrinth dungeon to the destruction of the gate.
His face is already well known.
If you get caught now, reporters will come running like bees.
‘I’ll just quietly check the title effect and come back.’
Damdeok quietly followed closely behind the procession.
* * *
Inside the first hallway of the dungeon.
The guild members, led by Jusoyul, were moving forward quite leisurely.
“These seem to be hiding quite deep this time. “There’s no sign of it coming out, right?”
“Well, I don’t know if it’s a surprise attack or something.”
“Ah, let’s say the Hound made a surprise attack. “They’re big mutts anyway, right?”
“reel? “I was bitten on the butt by a hound last time.”
“What?! Did you see it, man?!”
Ha ha ha ha ha! The sound of cheerful laughter spread.
Soo-yul, who had been silently looking ahead, suddenly stopped.
“for a moment.”
The crew members who were chatting at the low voice of the address began to pay attention.
“Ah, Captain, were we too noisy?”
“Minsu, this guy is talking nonsense!”
They each said a word and reorganized their ranks, but the address still did not move.
Unit leader Gil Dae-man looked at the address carefully.
‘Why are you like that? It’s different than usual… .’
Although he was a quiet person, he wasn’t the type of person to get angry over something like this.
“Captain, shall we stop for a moment?”
As soon as I approached him carefully and asked, one of his hands went up.
“Ready for battle.”
How dare you!
At those words, the members raised their weapons in unison. Although they laughed and chatted, Joo Soo-yul’s attack team were professionals among professionals.
“come.”
At the same time that Zhou Yul said that, dozens of lanterns appeared in front.
Hounds slowly emerge through the darkness.
“uh?”
Gil Dae-man’s pupils got a little bigger.
The crew members also had all the mischief on their faces.
– Crrrrr!
“It’s a Deadly Hound!”
Someone shouted that.
Deadly Hound.
It is reputed to be the deadliest of the hounds, and the venom contained in its fangs was so fatal that a single swipe could cause death within 10 minutes.

“The tricky guys are here. “All members who are weak in close combat should fall back.”
After saying that, Jooyul took out a dagger and rushed forward.
Just as Gil Dae-man and nearby dealers are quickly following behind him,
“Woojjujju!”
A strange sound was heard from behind.
Ju Soo-yul’s eyebrows, which had always been poker-faced, twitched.
“What, is there still someone playing pranks?”
The crew members’ faces turned white at the bloody sound.
Everyone looked towards the sound.
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! “He’s nice~”
At the very back.
A man walking slowly.
Ju Soo-yul’s eyes widened slightly as he saw his face. The same was true for other members.
“uh? what. That person was at the training center earlier… .”
Because he was so conspicuous, most people recognized Damdeok.
Unit leader Gil Daeman approached the man.
“Hey, you. You’re not even a member of our crew, so why did you come along here… omg!”
Gil Dae-man, who was approaching menacingly, hastily backed away.
Hounds coming out from behind the man. They were all deadly hounds, too.
“W-what are you!”
Surprised, Gil Daeman took out his sword.
The same goes for the crew behind us.
They aimed it at the man standing there, then at the hounds with their teeth bared, but the weapons were lost and couldn’t find where to go.
The hounds around the man growled lowly.
The man himself looked relaxed… .
“Shh, it’s okay.”
It was a strange sight.
When the man lightly stroked one of the hounds’ head, the hounds became as gentle as a lie. The hound even waggled his tail when being petted.
“Crazy, what nonsense!”
Gil Dae-man cursed without realizing it.
I glanced at Jusoyul, but she was just watching in silence.
The child was riding.
‘What are you thinking, Captain!’
This man is absolutely dangerous!
Humanoid monster?
Monster type human?
Whatever it was, it was the worst.
However, the leader, Ju Ju-yul, seemed to have no intention of stepping forward.
‘First, we have to reveal our true identity!’
After finishing his judgment, Gil Dae-man immediately pointed his sword at the man.
“hey! “Please state your name and affiliation!”
The man didn’t answer.
Just keep walking forward.
That side was the one with the address rate.
“Huh? hey!!”
Gil Dae-man tried to run over and stop him, but he couldn’t.
Deadly hounds were protecting the man and baring their teeth.
If you get close, you will definitely get bitten.
“Ugh, damn it! Leader! Avoid! “This is a suspicious guy!”
“It’s okay, stay there.”
Ju So-yul responded calmly.
Only then did Gil Dae-man realize that something was strange about the situation.
‘Wait a minute, now that I think about it, why are the hounds in front still?’
Wasn’t it clear that he was ready to rush in just a moment ago?
‘no way… .’
Gil Dae-man looked at the man.
Before he knew it, the man was surrounded by a pack of hounds from the front.
[The one who tamed Cerberus! The title effect has been activated!]
[Number of groups following you: 32.]
“There are already thirty-two… .”
Damdeok looked at the message and nodded.
“It’s a lot better than I thought. The conditions for taming are simple.”
[Title activation condition: physical contact.]
“Now, you too, you too. “It’s right, it’s right, it’s good.”
Damdeok touched the hounds’ heads one by one and weaved through the group.
Every time, the hounds were busy showing off their dogs by sticking out their tongues and wagging their tails.
Not only Gil Dae-man but also the entire crew looked at Damdeok in bewilderment at that strange sight.
“Okay, it’s done.”
[Number of groups following you: 56.]
At this level, it seems like everything has been tamed.
“Okay, now! Everyone sit down!”
I was so shocked by those words! Huge hounds lowered their butts.
“Nonsense… .”
“What is that… .”
Although they were experienced members of dungeon raids, they had never seen or heard of anyone with such abilities.
Damdeok’s strange behavior did not end there.
“Row 1, get down! 2nd row at attention! 3 rows of bread!”
An experiment to find out to what extent the command works.
The hounds performed their movements quickly.
The expressions on people’s faces went beyond surprise and spread into bewilderment.
“Wow, cute guys.”
These guys even gently wag their tails.
It reminded me a little of Cerberus in the underworld.
‘It seems like the effectiveness has been proven to be sufficient.’
Only then did Damdeok turn around and look at the people.
“uh… Does everyone like dogs?”
* * *
“Numbers 1 to 10 dig there, and the rest join one by one to assist.”
The hounds moved in perfect order under Damdeok’s instructions.
“Wow, boss. “At this rate, the magic stone extraction will be completed in no time.”
The rest of the crew agreed with Gil Daeman’s words.
“Iknow, right. “Maybe because it’s a canine-type monster, its ability to dig is amazing.”
“I never thought I would try to extract something using monsters… .”
It was an amazing experience for them.
Extracting magic stones and discovering hidden items are the key to conquering dungeons.
Monsters, not other people, are doing it for us.
All the crew members could do was stare blankly at the scene.
Taking advantage of that opportunity, Damdeok sneakily approached Jooyul.
“hey.”
“That’s a great ability. “Where did you get this ability?”
A sense of discomfort came over me again at her words.
‘It’s not even how I got it, but where did I get it?’
But I decided to put aside my unnecessary doubts. Maybe I’ve become sensitive because I’ve been going back and forth between the world of gods.
What I was really curious about was… .
“Is that bracelet yours?”
A bracelet with an unusual pattern worn by Ju Ju-yul. When I discovered it a little while ago, I thought it was really dark.
‘Same.’
Persephone was also wearing the same bracelet. It’s not just that they’re the same.
Persephone’s words in passing.
“Ah, I shared this bracelet with an old friend. “For humans, it’s like a friendship bracelet?”
My mouth was dry and dry.
How can this be?
If the bracelet is real, then what is the identity of the address… .
“That’s a strange question. “It’s mine, so of course I’m doing it, right?”
“… … .”
A calmer reaction than expected.
Damdeok did not give up and pushed forward.
“Where did you get it?”
“yes?”
“Where did you buy that?”
The answer that came back was disappointing.
“It’s the Internet, right? I don’t know why, but if you like this so much, I’ll give you the link… .”
[The target’s intention is close to good!]
The message that emerged at the right time added to the sense of desperation.
“Oh, no. “I misunderstood.”
Some guild members began to stir.
“Do you like women’s bracelets?”
“Leave it alone, it could happen.”
I think I guessed it wrong.
I guess it’s true that I’ve become more sensitive after going in and out of another dimension these days.
“Hmm, then what was Baek Seol’s name the other day…?” ?”
“yes? Oh, at the dorm at that time? That’s just what I heard the crew say. At the gate, ‘Baek Seol, let’s go.’ I heard you say something… .”
[The target’s intention is close to good!]
A message that always comes to mind.
ha.
Was it something like that?
‘It was all a misunderstanding.’
Feeling embarrassed, Damdeok approached the hounds again.
“now! “You idiots, let’s finish this quickly!”
“Oooh! stylish!”
“The person who does the work for you is a great person!”
The crew cheered for Damdeok.
That day, it took less than an hour to catch and clear the dungeon boss.
* * *
The members came out of the dungeon and naturally stood in the interview line.
Questions poured in without fail.
Damdeok was among the crew, wearing his hat tightly.
‘You won’t be able to see it from here.’
Just before leaving the dungeon, Damdeok made a request to Jooyul and the guild members.
“Please keep what happened today a secret.”
If you become famous, your power will increase, so why did you ask me to do this? .
‘Now is not the time.’
There is a saying, too much is too little. If you go too far with anything, you will end up in trouble.
The controversy over the destruction of the last gate has not yet been put to rest.
If another incident occurred, there was a risk of facing repercussions.
‘For example, those who entered the dungeon without qualification or infiltrated the gate defense area… .’
It was clearly illegal for him to not be a hunter yet. If this fact is revealed and public opinion deteriorates, it will have a fatal impact on the increase in spiritual power.
‘For future activities, it would be better to obtain a hunter’s license.’
The hunter exam is only held twice a year, and the last hunter exam of the year happened to be the day after tomorrow.
Applications have already been submitted.
‘Anyway, I came here to verify the effect of the title.’
I felt better about leaving this performance behind.
“As the leader of the raid, I am very pleased that we finished without any injuries. “This concludes the interview.”
After Jo Soo-yul’s exemplary interview, the people lined up one by one and went down the podium.
When Damdeok was about to go down for the last time,
“… “What is it, Yu Dam-deok?”
A calm voice was heard.
“Yoo Damdeok?”
“Yoo Dam-deok?”
The reporters who heard the name began to murmur.
‘Holy crap, someone said my name!’
I raised my head and looked toward the sound.
“Ha, how ridiculous is this?”
A man who looks like a black weasel.
The man was looking at Damdeok with a sneer.
“You untalented bastard. “Where did you come from?”
