Coincidentally, it was also at that time that the spirit dragon’s transformation process was completed.
[The ‘Spirit Dragon’s Remnants’ are going berserk due to contamination!]
Suddenly, two wings emerge from the dark light and spread out.
Crunch.
But the wing was torn apart badly as soon as it spread. One of the falling stalactites had mercilessly pierced the wing.
-Keeeeee!
The strange howl, which could not be determined as pain or anger, was soon drowned out by the loud noise of a large stalactite colliding with the ground.
“Whoa! The ceiling is collapsing!”
Teresa screams. As she said, so many stalactites were falling randomly that it looked like the ceiling was collapsing.
“Avoid it if you know how!”
“How did you do all this- Gyaaah! Sosoya!”
Dojin, who had turned around in a panic, clicked his tongue. Unable to evade or defend properly, Soso was being scattered into light.
The death of a party member. Dojin’s heart broke.
“I have to heal and buff and then die… …!”
Even the heavens were moved by Dojin’s kindness, as a sharp object fell precisely on his head.
Crunch.
However, Dojin avoided it by moving just a little bit, which was annoying. At the same time, his gaze checked the enemy’s condition.
‘They said it was contaminated or something. It’s so damaged that it’s hard to believe it’s a spirit just by looking at its appearance.’
The remains that had just completed their awkward resurrection looked more like undead than a spirit.
The body is disintegrating in real time, as if delayed decay is progressing rapidly.
Even so, the remains were in such a state that they desperately tried to move even while being hit by numerous stalactites.
Dojin shouted, thinking that if he just left it alone, it would definitely escape from there and run wild.
“I feel uneasy about just leaving it alone, so I need to add some damage. I need to deal damage while avoiding the drops!”
At this Teresa glared and said,
“Are you kidding me? I’m going to die right now, how could I be stuck in this situation… Ugh!”
Teresa, who was protesting, gets hit by a stalactite and rolls away.
Dojin gave up his expectations at the strange scream she made.
“If my party members can’t do it, I should do it myself.”
From this point on, Dojin’s solo performance began.
Don’t even look up to avoid falling stalactites.
Anyway, the bigger the stalactites, the louder the sound they make when they fall.
It is no different from a condensed lump of magic stone, and its ripples sometimes invade your vision.
Even with just that much information, a direct hit to the disaster could have been avoided.
《Fireball》
Shoot. One step.
Kwang.
Death passes by.
《Electric Shock》
Shoot. Take a step back.
Kwang.
A chunk of stalactite got stuck right in front of my nose. The fragments grazed my cheek with a thud, leaving a scar, but it wasn’t enough to be a concern.
Dojin’s magic circuit glowed again, and magic was activated continuously.
A series of blunt and relentless attacks pounded the swaying boss.
Normally, the boss of this dungeon does not take significant damage from user attacks.
Attacking the boss was merely an act to charge up special skills.
But not now. Dojin’s attacks steadily piled up damage on the weakened boss monster.
If the deal to break the ceiling is 98, Dojin solved the remaining 2.
in result.
Pachin!
The spirit dragon’s body, which had just been resurrected, shattered into a brilliant light.
[The boss monster ‘Spirit Dragon’s Remnants’ has accumulated enough damage that it can no longer maintain its form!]
It was the moment when the hot hidden dungeon
Dojin, who had reached that point, sat down on the floor without any hesitation.
“I feel really dizzy.”
Both vitality and mana were on the line. It was a battle where there was no time to even drink potions or rest, so it was only natural.
But I won. I finally defeated the boss monster and cleared the dungeon.
Now it was time to pay for their hard work.

A jewel created by condensing the spirit’s energy.
First, the “Spirit Essence” that Dojin was after was shining among the loot.
A normal item that should catch Dojin’s attention more than anything else, as it is something he has been longing for so desperately.
But what Dojin was seeing now was not the spirit essence.
‘What is that?’
His eyes were fixed on a mass of colorful jewels.
A gem slightly larger than a human head, in the shape of a perfect sphere.
Dojin’s instinct whispered.
‘It’s so f*cking expensive.’
That was an item that wasn’t on the drop table of
That means it was likely a special item that would come out when you had all four elements: a hidden dungeon, first discovery, first strategy, and a complete strategy that perfectly defeats the hidden boss.
Dojin took out potions of different types from his inventory, poured them into his mouth, and got up.
His tired and weary body trembled and protested for more rest, but Dojin resolutely ignored his body’s requests.
“Ugh.”
Because of that, he ended up feeling nauseous while walking, but Dojin still walked tenaciously and checked the loot.
[Spirit Essence]
Oh. That’s what I was aiming for. But that’s not the problem.
The important thing is.
[Egg left behind by the spirit dragon]
Rating: –
An egg containing the body and energy of a dead spirit dragon.
What looked like a large jewel was an egg.
‘If you know it… will it hatch?’
Dojin’s heart pounded.
If this really is an egg that hatches, it’s really a jackpot.
But soon, disappointment began to creep into Dojin’s expression.
‘He’s dead.’
It was because the mana contained in the egg that was examined through the eyes had stopped.
There is a bit of a ripple, but this is the basic flow that even a magic stone would have.
If there was really a spirit or something similar to life inside, the mana should have moved like a pulse.
“But it’s really expensive. It’s on the same level as a magic stone that you can get by hunting a real dragon.”
Dojin quickly shook off his regret. No, it was a bit embarrassing to even call it regret.
It’s like this because it’s impossible to tell how long ago he died.
The spirit dragon in his lifetime must have been a truly transcendent being.
This means that it is certain that you will have eaten at least Tier 1 in either the spirit world or the dragon world.
‘If something pops out of the egg left behind by this guy… … .’
An item that is difficult to see even at the end of Dojin’s previous life.
There’s no way something like that could come out at this point…
Still, just in case, I should pack it well.
It was the time when Dojin had neatly organized what he had obtained into his inventory.
[
[The cause of the spirit incident that occurred on Earth was the energy that flowed out during the process of the spirit dragon’s body disappearing.
Now that that’s been resolved, it looks like there won’t be any more violent spirits spawning around the lake.]

What Jeongryong left behind
Rating: Hidden
[The resurrection that occurred for a short time at a moment when even the body was entering the process of destruction after a long time of death may have been a struggle to release the egg it had been carrying into the world.
However, the eggs left behind by the spirit dragon appear unlikely to hatch because they have been left unattended for so long.
If you still feel pain, keep the eggs well and find a way.]
Dojin was speechless after reading the quest details.
‘These kids… … .’
There is only a sin of catching a boss monster.
‘Well… I knew, but that doesn’t mean I wouldn’t kill you.’
The situation is really bad. It’s really bad. You can’t just let the contaminated and out-of-control boss monster live and choose death instead.
Still, he felt a little uneasy, so Dojin closed his eyes and said as he looked at the spot where the remains of the spirit dragon had disappeared.
“Rest in paradise. Don’t worry, I’ll do my best to use what you left behind.”
Regardless of how I obtained it, what I thought was a dead egg turned out to be the starter item for a hidden quest.
If you have it and are lucky enough to complete the quest, you can hit another jackpot.
‘The problem with hidden quests that usually lack clues like this is that it’s too difficult to move on to the next stage.’
Dojin, who had gathered his thoughts and turned around, stopped.
Teresa was staring blankly into space with a sad expression and face.
“Soso died… … .”
Dojin thought as he approached Teresa, who was muttering in a daze.
‘The scene of a friend or acquaintance dying in a place that looks exactly like reality is shocking enough. It’s even more so for someone who has only recently encountered virtual reality.’
The era of virtual reality, which creates an environment that is no different from reality, has more side effects than expected.
Many people suffer from PTSD due to their own death, the death of a friend, or even the death of an NPC.
Those who are overly immersed may experience phantom pain regardless of their sensory synchronization rate, and may also feel that pain in reality.
‘I’m not in a position to talk about others either.’
Since he had experienced all the side effects of over-immersion, Dojin knew very well what she needed most right now.
“Wake up. Mr. Soso, it’s game over. This is virtual reality. If you’re worried, just log out and take care of yourself in reality. If you keep thinking about your friend dying, that’s going to cause problems.”
That’s what separates virtual reality from reality.
“That’s not the problem… … .”
But Teresa’s reaction to the comfort was strange.
“Soso is dead. I wonder how much she’ll whine this time. She’ll be lying down in shock. I know too well. How to gain the upper hand in negotiations.”
Yeah? What is whining and what is negotiation…?
Dojin’s brain couldn’t keep up with Teresa’s words.
Either way, Teresa pounded the floor and cried out her regrets.
“Ugh… …! I should have died instead. I heard that you were taken to Busan before. You pretended to cry without even shedding any tears. When I asked why you weren’t crying, you made a joke about dry eyes. But you said that you were taken away in the end.”
This time I might be dragged abroad!
Dojin said with an expressionless face as he looked at Teresa screaming.
“Oh, yes.”
Well, it’s not just that he’s normal, he looks overly normal, so that’s okay.
It doesn’t seem like we’re in a situation right now where we can split the loot or anything.
It looks like things are serious over there.
“You seem very busy, so let’s just disband.”
Dojin decided to end this party hunt here.
