Episode 71: Limitless Mana Dungeon (1)
Spaang!
In the not-so-spacious 7th floor underground passageway, the ‘wind’ blown by Kang Dong-hyun engulfed all the space.
【Self-defense – Stage 2】
Thanks to the quick deployment of the second stage of self-defense, I was able to withstand the first stage of the strongest gust of wind.
But, over five occasions, the power was gradually reduced and released forward.
After that, four more attacks had to be repelled.
I tried my best to avoid the attack, using not only the protective barrier but also quick evasion and jumping.
It was indeed Kang Dong-hyun.
I thought that if I had been hit properly just once out of five times by the wind, I wouldn’t have been able to break a bone.
That was to be expected, as the metal legs of the small desk next to it were bent in the shape of a Chinese character.
It was a perfect picture to guess what would have happened if it had been a human bone.
But in the end, I didn’t take any damage. I avoided all of Kang Dong-hyun’s attacks and gained some more mana.
【Lightning ratio】
Kang-hoo took out a practice dagger from his bosom and casted the lightning skill on it, throwing it at Kang Dong-hyun.
An ordinary hunter would see a dagger flying fiercely and find a way to dodge or block it.
However, Kang Dong-hyun slashed at the direction the dagger was flying from without hesitation.
“Put the pressure down!”
A fist and a dagger collided in an instant.
Even though it was a practice dagger, it was an attack that carried a considerable amount of momentum.
But, apart from a few sparks flying from Kang Dong-hyun’s fingertips, there was no change.
I secretly thought that his body would be pushed back a little, but it ended with him only flinching.
‘What a foolishly strong man.’
Although it is not a skill that can be underestimated like this, Kang-hoo simply thought of Kang Dong-hyun’s image.
Of course, he is not just strong without any knowledge. He also has his own strategies and tactics.
However, it is true that compared to ordinary hunters of the same level, their physical abilities are superior.
“Hurray! Hurry up!”
Kang Dong-hyun continued to throw his fists here and there to strike Kang-hoo, who was still in hiding.
Each time, a strong shock wave would spread out, causing the inner walls to collapse and shake, but he didn’t care.
【Pungroejin】
In order to make it difficult for Kang Dong-hyun to make a decision, Kang-hoo deliberately laid down a wind and thunder formation to get on his nerves.
It was unlikely that he would be harmed by the Wind Thunder, but he seemed to be concerned about the attack effect it would cause.
“You’re quite the trickster, yes! Let’s see how long you can remain hidden like that!”
There was a reason behind Kang Dong-hyun’s words.
This is because maintaining the stealth state requires mana. It is not possible to remain stealthed indefinitely.
So, if you block Kang-hoo’s attacks appropriately, and attack from all directions in a narrow space.
The calculation was that the situation would eventually end when Kang-hoo’s mana was depleted or it became difficult to maintain hiding.
Unfortunately, Kang Dong-hyun underestimated Kang Hu’s abilities.
Although he thought he had a high opinion of Kang-hoo’s skills, it was infinitely lower than his actual abilities.
For Kang-hoo, who chewed on Mad Solarium, the consumption of mana was not a concern at all.
Stay hidden?
As long as there was no direct impact, the maintenance was possible for 30 minutes without any problems.
Kang Dong-hyun never thought that Kang-hoo could use mana infinitely under special conditions.
It was a fatal misjudgment.
Kang-hoo poured all the mana he had accumulated into the dungeon without holding back, and the end was slowly coming into view.
‘Okay, I get the feeling.’
The 7th floor underground dungeon that greedily sought after mana. The amount of mana it sucks in has been significantly reduced.
The decreasing amount meant that the end was near.
There is no need to take in excessive mana beyond the set amount, so it is adjusted automatically.
【Shadow Walk】
【Welcome Drink】
【Surprise】
Then, Kang-hoo poured out a few of the skills he had been saving onto Kang Dong-hyun.
Will to attack? There was none from the beginning.
It was Kang-hoo’s ploy to thoroughly distract Kang Dong-hyun and buy time.
In the first place, it was an incredible feat for a hunter under level 100 to take on a hunter over level 500.
In human terms, it’s like a 7-year-old child taking on a 25-year-old athlete.
Is the picture being drawn?
This is a matchup that can never happen, and should never happen, unless a significant handicap is given.
Because the odds of one side winning are not 99.9%, but 100%. The battle between the two hunters just now was exactly like that.
‘Okay.’
In the meantime.
The entrance to the dungeon, which has absorbed a generous amount of mana, has begun to change color. It is ready to accept it.
“uh?”
Kang Dong-hyun tilted his head.
It doesn’t seem like that much time has passed, but the entrance to the dungeon is already open?
It was just a very brief skirmish, perhaps the beginning of a reconnaissance operation.
From Kang Dong-hyun’s perspective, his body had not yet relaxed. But on the other hand, the situation was over.

and.
“Catch it if you can.”
Kang Hoo waved his finger at Kang Dong Hyun, who was making a blank expression, and went into the dungeon.
Clean entrance.
Kang Dong-hyun, who had become like a dog chasing a chicken, could do nothing.
I tried to push my body into the entrance with some hope, but all I got in return was a cold rejection.
“Hahaha. This is completely unexpected. Did I underestimate Shin Kang-hoo’s abilities too much?”
Kang Dong-hyun made a dejected expression.
I knew from the previous battle video with Cha So-hee that she was capable of handling a wider variety of skills than I thought.
And we also confirmed that he used his skills a lot and generously in the video.
That is, I thought he was a hunter with a certain level of abundance in terms of mana stats.
But, at the same time, you have to control yourself, avoid attacks, and even inject mana into the dungeon… … .
I didn’t think three tracks would be possible. That would require ‘really’ a lot of mana.
But Kang-hoo did it.
In other words, Kang Dong-hyun completely misjudged Kang-hoo’s ability to handle mana.
“I really want it. If I just get this guy, I feel like Sohee’s death will be a cheap deal… … .”
Kang Dong-hyun whetted his appetite.
They say you can tell a tree’s potential from its cotyledons, and Kang-hoo’s potential appears to be at the level of golden cotyledons.
“First of all, I have to catch it somehow when I get out of the dungeon again. Damn. It’s been a while since I’ve had a stomachache.”
Kang Dong-hyun caressed his stomach.
Thinking about Kang-hoo leisurely clearing a dungeon he has never been in before makes me feel sick.
But there’s nothing I can do.
Kang Dong-hyun also has no idea how to get in here right now.
It was nice to see that Kang-hoo got hit with a punch, and he got in for free without charging a single penny in admission fee.
* * *
As soon as Kang-hoo entered the dungeon, he started to attack at a fast pace.
Although it is referred to as the Limitless Mana Dungeon, it is not actually a proper noun referring to a single dungeon.
This is because there are more dungeons than you might think that require a large amount of mana as an entrance ticket.
In addition, there are cases where the entrance fee is requested in the form of ‘blood’ of a living hunter, rather than mana.
The worst case scenario is where it demands the ‘life’ of a living hunter, meaning someone has to die for the door to open.
In fact, most hunters are reluctant to enter these dungeons for moral reasons.
But the world doesn’t flow so morally and righteously. Naturally, there were many hunters who offered sacrifices.
Anyway, there was a variable in the difficult dungeon entry conditions, and even Kang Dong-hyun appeared.
I got in without any accident.
Kang Dong-hyun’s carelessness also played a part, and his choice to chew out Mad Solar Ki-um without holding back was also right.
“The overall level of the dungeon is around 200. The experience points are definitely twice as much as expected.”
Since it was a form that had never been attacked and had accumulated internal energy, the overall rewards were good.
Even if it didn’t drop any special items or magic stones, the experience itself was plentiful.
“Because this is a one-time opportunity.”
Once you’ve completed the dungeon, you can no longer enjoy the same benefits when it’s reset.
At that time, it will provide the default experience value that has been returned to its original state. It will be half of what it is now.
at that time.
Kwah! Kwah!
A middle boss with a muscular body and a height of about 3 meters appeared from the darkness.
The alert level was raised as we were approaching a bamboo forest area, but it was discovered right away.
however.
【son】
【Depending on the special dungeon environment, you can definitely obtain 1 Aura Stone.】
Along with the name of the middle boss, what was displayed below was something you wouldn’t normally see.
To interpret the content, it was saying that special rewards were added because the energy inside the dungeon was accumulated.
The reward was none other than a red stone.
Amethysts are essential materials needed to upgrade skills. Without amethysts, you cannot even begin upgrading skills.
Kang-hoo currently has a total of 1 red stone.
If you have a summary stone, you can also raise your self-defense skill to level 3.
Furthermore, it is possible to upgrade difficult skills that require two or more stat stones.
If the middle boss gives you 1, it also means that you can expect at least 2 from the main boss.
If you have the time, you can also farm the stone here and have a good time.
“That guy is the problem.”
Crunch! Crunch!
Krrrrrr.
Kang-hoo stared at the middle boss Ad, who appeared nervously, breaking bamboo.
It was a bipedal, crocodile-like monster with one arm sharpened into a blade.
Each body part is a weapon.
“Getting one red stone is like trying to find a star in the sky, but even if you can’t eat it, it’s a blessing.”
Kang-hoo is ready for battle. There is still some Mad Solarium left, so there is nothing to fear.
* * *
That moment.
‘It seems like everything is fine.’
Yoon Sang-mi, who was enjoying herself and being immersed in the pleasure-filled atmosphere of Hades, turned her gaze.
It’s been quite a while since Kang-hoo came in, but there hasn’t been any news, so it seems he entered safely.
‘Who am I worried about?’
Yoon Sang-mi reflected on herself for a moment, wondering if Kang-hoo had done something wrong.
Looking at Kang-hoo, I had a vague but confident feeling that he would not be in danger.
That may be because he knows quite well the path that Kang-hoo has walked so far.
It felt like Kang-hoo always had a second or third plan. That’s why he didn’t seem to panic even when he failed.
Honestly, I was jealous.
Strategic arrangements are impossible without confidence in one’s own abilities and the ability to do so.
Yoon Sang-mi was convinced that she could not face a crisis as skillfully and calmly as Kang-hoo.
Therefore, it was natural to feel awe towards Kang-hoo, as well as a liking for his skills.
Furthermore, his likability as a person of the opposite sex is the same. He certainly had the charm of a cold city man.
at that time.
Kugugugu! Kugugugu!
The sound of busy footsteps could be heard outside the closed iron door on the emergency exit side of the 6th basement floor.
Judging from the fact that the direction of the sound was all downwards, it was definitely moving to the 7th basement floor.
“… … .”
I was a little worried.
There’s nothing you can do about the river that has already entered.
Are you trying to catch Kang-hoo coming out of the dungeon?
Although Kang-hoo clearly said that he had a plan to escape, I couldn’t help but be worried.
The total number of footsteps heard at first glance is at least twenty.
How on earth can one escape the encirclement of so many hunters?
Even Kang Dong-hyun is at the club, so will he be able to get out alive?
