Episode 25
Dungeon Break (3)
3 days after receiving the information.
Jeongdo has been busy since morning.
Gangnam-gu.
I went around there and searched all the currently existing dungeons.
‘Why doesn’t this information have coordinates…? .’
Information about other dungeons was kindly displayed along with the coordinates, but the location of the dungeon that would be broken this time was not provided. Of course, it was a blessing that it was limited to Gangnam-gu, but I expected it would still take up a lot of time.
However, contrary to what I thought, it was surprisingly easy to find the dungeon. Since the association had restricted civilian traffic near the dungeon two days ago, all I had to do was go to a place where there were no people.
Jeong Do found a total of three dungeons while searching Gangnam during the morning.
A class A dungeon that occurred on the road near Seongsu Bridge.
Dungeon name: Kobold Forward Fortress
Number of people limited: 10 people or less
Difficulty: A
Type: Mission type (defense)
Monsters that appear: Kobold Warrior (Normal), Kobold Leader of the Abyss (Boss)
Hidden Information: You can obtain <Kobold Leader’s Battle Gloves> when defeating the boss.
And a C-class dungeon that occurred in Nonhyeon-dong.
Dungeon name: Tarantula’s Nest
Number of people limited: Limited to 1 person.
Difficulty: C
Type: Annihilation type
Monsters that appear: White Widow (normal), Black Widow (boss)
Hidden information: None.
Lastly, a D-class dungeon occurred in Daechi-dong.
Dungeon name: Dungeon Wolf Den.
Number of people limited: Limited to 1 person.
Difficulty: D
Type: Annihilation type
Monsters that appear: Dungeon Wolf (Normal), Dungeon Wolf Leader (Boss)
Hidden Information: When all monsters are annihilated, the level increases additionally.
In addition to these three places, there was one more place, but the attack on that place was currently in progress. Since the expected time for the dungeon break was tomorrow night, it was excluded as a candidate.
‘The best thing is to clear the dungeon.’
If you clear it in the first place, there is no need to worry about a dungeon break. Therefore, I tried to purchase some dungeons, but unfortunately, the A and C classes were purchased by the guild, and the D class was a dungeon discovered by the association.
Among them, the dungeon that Jeongdo is most concerned about is the A-class mission type dungeon.
‘It’s a defense format.’
There was little information about the mission-type dungeon, so I couldn’t know for sure, but I got a rough idea just by hearing the name.
A type of mission that requires protecting a certain base or object from monsters attacking it for a limited time. Naturally, I expected the number of monsters to be enormous.
‘If this dungeon breaks… .’
It was terrifying to even imagine. An enormous number of kobolds will attack downtown Seoul. While Jeongdo was thinking that, a text message came to his cell phone.
[The association is requesting an expedition. If you have any thoughts, please visit the association – Sanghee Seo]
“Good timing too.”
I was already thinking of going to the association now. Shouldn’t we tell you a little bit about brakes? Jeongdo quickly headed to the association.
* * * * * *
Seo Sang-hee’s office within the association.
“I’m sorry for making you come here yourself.”
“no. I’ve been here once, but… “It’s right to come in person.”
Jeong-do sighed inwardly as he looked at Sang-hee, who was doing his work with the WarX strapped to his back. It was really nice of you to come visit me in person.
“Then, let me show you the dungeon we are requesting this time.”
“Before that, I want to ask you something.”
“yes? which?”
Without saying anything, I threw a fastball.
“Hasn’t the association now lost the ability to manage the brakes?”
Startle.
Sanghee flinched briefly at the question, but soon regained her composure.
“… “Is there any reason for you to think that way?”
“An unprecedented series of breaks that occurred recently. In addition, civilian traffic around the dungeon has been restricted since two days ago. Combining those two things got me thinking.”
Sanghee sighed.
As Jeong-do said, anyone who thinks a little bit will reach that conclusion. Sanghee gave up trying to hide the truth.
“The details are confidential, but… “What you think is correct.”
Although he admitted to that extent, he hid the fact that the break was artificially generated. Because he was not a member of the association.
“Then isn’t it a big deal? If a break occurs in a densely populated area, there will be a major disaster. for example… Places like Gangnam.”
“Gangnam?”
Sanghee looked through the dungeon chart, expressing doubts about what Jeongdo had insinuated.
“Hmm. Because it’s Gangnam… Ah, there is definitely a grade A dungeon now. Of course, it would be terrible if something like this happened… “It’s the same everywhere else.”
‘Well, that’s true.’
Jeong Do smiled bitterly at Sanghee’s answer. There are more than one or two densely populated areas in Seoul, so there was no reason to pay particular attention to Gangnam. At most, a lot of high-ranking people live there? However, considering Sanghee’s personality, it seemed unlikely that he would strengthen patrols in just one area for that reason. I was satisfied with mentioning it once and got to the point.

“That’s right. “Ah, speaking of which, for this expedition request, I would like to go to a dungeon near Gangnam.”
The reason Jeong Do came to the association. The purpose was to narrow down the number of dungeons where breaks would occur by reducing the number of dungeons in Gangnam by at least one location.
Sanghee looked at the chart again after hearing Jeongdo’s words.
“hmm. There is a dungeon owned by the association in Gangnam. Extermination type limited to one person. But it is D grade. Are you sure you don’t mind?”
The level is still E level. Of course, it was a formal question because both Jeong-do and Sang-hee knew that his skills were far beyond his abilities.
“Yes, it’s okay.”
“If you are a user, you are sure. “When is the date?”
“If possible, I’d like to go tomorrow morning.”
Sanghee was a little surprised to hear that the words were more hasty than expected, but he quickly nodded.
“All right. “I will send someone to the dungeon tomorrow morning.”
“yes. thank you then.”
After saying hello to Sanghee, Jeongdo left the association.
After seeing off Jeong Do, Sang Hee returned to her office and fell into thought.
‘It’s Gangnam… .’
Hearing those words made me nervous. Sanghee opened her notebook to check her schedule.
“Whoa… .”
When I saw that my schedule was full until tomorrow night, I sighed. I haven’t been able to go home for two days already.
‘Would you like to stop by tomorrow night when you get off work?’
With that in mind, Sanghee started working again.
* * * * * *
Shoo!
“Aww… .”
A small amount of fire pierced the heart of the boss wolf.
<Level up! Increases mana by 1 and reflexes by 1.>
<Because you have annihilated all monsters in the dungeon, your level will increase further! Strength increases by 1 and mana sensitivity increases by 2.>
Pleasant notification windows appeared in succession, but I opened the status window first without even having time to feel joy.
<… Remaining time: 13 hours 37 minutes>
“this.”
Even though he had just defeated the boss, the break notification time continued to decrease.
‘In the end, brakes are either class A or class C.’
It was obvious which one to pay more attention to. Class A and Class C. The scale of damage was on a different level.
“Is it tonight?”
I did everything I could to prepare. Jeongdo looked at the crisis information once again.
<Prevent damage from Dungeon Break… >
This does not mean to prevent the dungeon break itself, but to prevent the damage it causes. It was best to block the brake itself, but in the worst case, it meant having to fight the monster that popped out due to the brake.
He could not receive help from anyone unless he revealed that he could know information about the future. If it were Seoyoon, she would help her without asking why, but she was still too weak. at last… Jeongdo chose to fight alone.
‘I hope the card I prepared works.’
To some extent, I have strengthened my resolve.
That night.
Jeong Do was hiding and waiting near Seongsu Bridge, where the A-class dungeon was located. Normally, there would still be a lot of cars moving around, but traffic was restricted due to the dungeon, so it was impossible to find people. The empty driveway even gave me a bitchy feeling.
‘There’s not much time left.’
There were only about 10 minutes left until the dungeon break appeared. However, the A-level dungeon was quiet.
‘Could it be in a C-level dungeon?’
Should I run right now? While Jeong-do was thinking like that, a car approached from afar.
Squeak.
The vehicle stopped near the dungeon. Jeong-do clenched his weapon, ready to jump out at any moment, but soon relaxed. This was because the people who got off the vehicle were dressed as national users.
‘It’s a dungeon inspection.’
After strengthening patrols in the dungeon, the association was continuously checking the dungeon every few hours. After some time, the users who completed the inspection walked back to their vehicles.
‘I guess I should go to Class C.’
The moment I decided to do that.
A strange thing happened.
The dungeon suddenly started shaking!
“this. no way!”
It’s fake! I judged the extent in an instant and ran towards the dungeon.
“hmm? “What is that guy?”
“… Looks like the information was leaked. Never mind. “This place will soon become a wasteland anyway.”
The man who said that took out the paper from his arms and tore it, a bright light appeared, and the two people could no longer be seen.
“Warp scroll!?”
That is an item that can be obtained with a low probability only when you clear a mission-type dungeon at level A or higher. It was never an item that an individual could obtain. Jeongdo had a intuition that the opponent was a huge force.
“Damn it.”
I was hit. I never thought they would come disguised as a national user. Because the inspection vehicle had arrived a few hours earlier, I had let my guard down.
however.
It wasn’t just something that happened.
The moment when the monsters take out the scroll. At least he quickly used his observation skill on one person!
Name: Seongdonghak
Level: 42
Mana reserves: 46
Strength: 49 Stamina: 37 Reflexes: 51 Mana Sensitivity: 34
Talent: <Camouflage-lv.1>, <Swordsmanship-lv.1>, <Assassination-lv.1>
Skills: <Stealth>, <Running>, <Poison Enchant>, <Grim Sword>
Wow.
“I will definitely repay this debt.”
But now I had to solve the dungeon first. The dungeon was shaking as if it was going to explode at any moment.
‘In the end, I couldn’t stop the brakes.’
If so, damage caused by the brakes had to be prevented. Jeongdo sighed and loaded the wire.
<… Confucius. The atmosphere is so ghastly today.>
“I believe it today too.”
<Combination Draw>
This is the first hand that Jeong-do has prepared. It was something I saved, but… When I had to write, I had to write.
‘The most ideal combination would be Jis and Mikhail Dwarf.’
However, while researching the skill recently, it turned out to be impossible. When trying to make a combination, a notification appeared saying that the combination was too high for the user’s level.
Jeong Do chose Yoo Seon and Yeo Bu in the combination window.
“Yooseon. “Please think of the strongest general in your opinion.”
<Hmm? What is that… >
The moment when Jeong-do used <Combination Draw> without waiting for Yoo-seon to speak.
A brilliant light emanated from the amulet hanging around Jeongdo’s neck.
“uh… ?”
A notification window pops up before my eyes to the point of embarrassment.
<I sensed the saint’s blessing (good luck). A significant bonus is given to the user’s luck!>
‘oh my god!’
This situation was not planned to the degree. A truly pleasant misfortune. To some extent, he even had the illusion that Seoyoon was with him.
At the same time, hundreds of business cards were spread out above Jeong Do’s head. This is an extremely small number compared to <Location Lottery>, which numbered in the hundreds of millions. One of the business cards fell towards Jeongdo.
Yoo Seon’s luck and luck.
Seoyoon’s lucky blessing.
This fantastic combination.
Of course, I brought DIA’s business card.
Paaaaaa!
An intense mana storm raged around the area, and at the same time, the dungeon was completely destroyed and kobolds poured out.
“Whoa… .”
The Bangcheonhwageuk held in Jeongdo’s hand suddenly changed its appearance.
This weapon was also a spear.
but,
Instead of the spear blade and Wolah (moon grain) in Bangcheonhwageuk.
A curved spear blade that looks like a snake aiming for its prey.
Jangpalsamo (丈八蛇矛).
The beloved bottle of a general who was called the enemy of all people during the Three Kingdoms period was held in the hands of Jeong Do.

Possessed Skills: <Lion’s Hut>, <Iron Wall>… and 4 others.
My whole body was overflowing with energy.
Jeongdo had his back to the bridge and glared at the group of kobolds rushing towards him.
<Hundreds of enemies ahead. The back is a bridge. This reminds me of the old days. Haha!>
A loud voice echoed in Do-do’s head. Jeong-do could not overcome his boiling emotions and shouted loudly.
“Jang Ik-deok is here!!!!!!!”
Loud voices filled the street in front of Seongsu Bridge.
Tiring!
<Lion’s Roar activated. The attack power of targets exposed to Lion’s Roar is reduced by 30%. Forcefully receives all aggro.>

Jangpanpa from Dangyang, China.
There is a legendary story about how he stood alone in front of the bridge and stood against Cao Cao’s million-strong army.
It was about to start again here and now.
