Episode 23
The collapsing cave was a complete mess.
Boulders as big as houses fell.
It’s impossible to see ahead because of the dust rising from all directions.
In it, Choi Hyun-seok was suffering from constant noise pollution(?).
[Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!][Level up!] … .
The level-up alarm rang incessantly in my ears.
“Shut up, I’m out of my mind!”
Leveling up wasn’t important right now.
‘I have to get out of here somehow.’
Choi Hyun-seok’s goal is to survive.
To do so, you must escape the collapsing cave.
[Level up!]
Choi Hyun-seok shouted as the alarm sounded.
“Rachel, buff!”
“all right!”
Now, I know what to do with just one word, ‘buff’.
Rachel gave Choi Hyun-seok a buff that increased his physical abilities.
‘Let’s charge straight ahead like this!’
I was thinking of going out of the cave, past the queen in front of me.
“Keeeeeeeek!”
At that moment, Queen Talas ran towards Choi Hyun-seok.
‘Are you trying to get revenge now!?’
Choi Hyun-seok’s head rolled quickly.
‘No. The Queen’s purpose is to find an egg!’
The egg that remains behind you.
It was clear that the queen was running to protect her eggs from the collapsing cave.
His thoughts were well founded.
This is because there was one more person trying to protect the egg even in this critical moment.
“Mom, you have to protect the delicious food!”
Chef Kulkan ran off, carrying an egg.
The queen’s gaze moved quickly following him.
‘Then let’s break through like this!’
[Level up!]
Choi Hyun-seok ran out with the sound of leveling up.
The queen was running towards me from the front, but it didn’t matter.
‘Anyway, the Queen’s aggro is drawn to Al and Kulkan!’
Of course, I know that it is a gambling-like behavior.
But now, it really is a situation where a single second can make the difference between life and death.
In such an urgent time, there was no way to avoid the great queen.
Thump thump thump thump thump!
The Queen and Choi Hyun-seok, who were gradually getting closer, came face to face.
Choi Hyun-seok dug between the queen’s legs.
[Level up!]
Choi Hyun-seok cheered as the level-up alarm was heard.
The Queen ignored Choi Hyun-seok and passed by.
Choi Hyun-seok, who was running under the Queen’s boat, raised his head.
‘It’s huge.’
It feels like time is passing slowly.
The giant queen’s ship passed by in slow motion.
Finally, the Queen and Choi Hyun-seok completely intersect.
[Level up!]
Time flows as it always did.
Kwung, kwung! Boom!
Again dirt and rocks begin to fall from the sky.
Kwaaaaang!
A rock the size of a house fell right in front of my nose.
For a moment the ground shook and I almost fell over, but I managed to keep my balance.
I passed the rock and looked outside.
‘You can go.’
Light is visible through the dust.
The distance outside is approximately two hundred meters.
I can do it well enough.
“Keeeeeek!”
At that moment, a Talas stood in front of us.
A sharp leg flew in.
“There’s no time! Get out of the way!”
I turned my head to avoid the bridge.

Respond with a kick.
Kwajik!
It hit him square in the head.
“Keeek…!”
The bastard staggered for a moment but didn’t seem to be seriously hurt.
however.
Kuung!
I couldn’t avoid the falling rock in time.
Talas, which was lying on the rock, turned into a blood cake.
[Level up!]
Choi Hyun-seok ran again.
‘This won’t do. I have to keep raising my abilities.’
Even now, Talas was still being crushed to death by the rocks.
Thanks to that, the level-up alarm keeps ringing.
You had to use whatever it took to get to your destination.

Bonus points have already accumulated to 71.
Choi Hyun-seok invested his abilities at an incredible pace.
[Level up!]
By chance, I was able to reach level 180 through leveling up.
Choi Hyun-seok invested every single point.
[Battle power reached target]
[Completed the warrior quest]
[You earn 300 warrior points]
It seems that by investing points, the combat power has exceeded 3000.
But there is no time to be leisurely rejoicing.
“Keeeeee!”
Another Talas stood in the way.
Wedge!
Fast-flying legs.
Instead, Choi Hyun-seok dug into the bastard’s arms.
The leg grazed the skin and blood spurted out.
“Urgh!”
I threw my fist with all my might.
Kwajik!
Talas’ head cracks open and fluid flows out.
But it’s not dead.
The bastard was still breathing.
[Level up!]
The alarm sounds again.
Choi Hyun-seok quickly invested his bonus points into strength.
And he kicked the staggering Talas.
“Get behind!”
The heel sinks right into the shell that has already been broken by the punch.
Phew!
Just like that, Talas’ head is shattered.
[Level up!]
Choi Hyun-seok was confident.
There is no need to run away anymore.
‘I will destroy everything that blocks my way.’
The goal is to escape the cave.
Until then, you just have to keep running forward.
“Keeeeeek!”
“Come on, Vicky!”
Choi Hyun-seok kicked the ground and jumped up.
It was a jumping ability that far surpassed that of humans.
Choi Hyun-seok, who had climbed up above Talas’ head in one go, struck down his fist.
Crunch, crunch! Boom!
He hit the same spot repeatedly in one breath.
In one breath, Talas’ outer shell breaks.
Green fluid spurted everywhere.
[Level up!]
Choi Hyun-seok ran again.
Kwah! Boom! Kwaaaaah!
Rocks and dirt pour down like crazy.
It’s hard to even open your eyes because of the dust.
Now the cave was on the verge of completely collapsing.

Choi Hyun-seok invested his abilities without resting.
I’m already at level 198.
It seemed like it would be 200 soon.
[Level up!]
The alarm rings again.
‘Almost there!’
Now we are just a stone’s throw away from the cave.
As the dust cleared, the light began to brighten.
Kurrurururur…!
The cave completely collapses.
The ceiling came down just above my head.
‘last…!’
Choi Hyun-seok ran with all his might.
Kwaaaaaaaahh …
The cave ceiling collapses, sending dust flying in all directions.
It was a huge shock wave, like a massive bomb exploding.
[Level up!]
The final level-up alarm sounded.
Choi Hyun-seok collapsed on the floor.
“Ugh, gasp…!”
He is covered in wounds and looks so bad that you can’t even recognize him.
“I survived…”
But Choi Hyun-seok survived.
***
Gurrrrrr!
The ground shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
Choi Hyun-seok was completely covered in dust and looked like a clay man.
“Whew, whew!”
Choi Hyun-seok spat out the dirt that had entered his mouth.
“f*ck. A warrior’s life is truly spectacular.” “Hero! You survived! You survived!”
“I know.”
“I survived that hell! Can you believe it!?”
Rachel threw away her five-legged hoe.
“I believed you could do it, Warrior!? As expected, the all-time talent Warrior Choi Hyun-seok with SSS-level potential!” “Okay, just say the first verse.” “Warrior, Warrior, Warrior!!!”
“Oh, I understand!”
“Hero!”
Rachel slapped Choi Hyun-seok on the cheek.
slap!
Choi Hyun-seok looked back in surprise.
“What the heck! What the heck!?” “Look over there!”
“huh?”
Choi Hyun-seok looked at where Rachel was pointing.
“Something moving…?”
The rocks were shaking.
Choi Hyun-seok tensed his body.
I didn’t want to lift a finger, but if it was the enemy, I couldn’t miss the opportunity.
Boom!
Finally the rock flew away and what appeared inside was…
“I protected the egg!”
It was Chef Kulkan.
Choi Hyun-seok burst out laughing in disbelief.
“It’s truly amazing in many ways…”
Should we really say that the fighting power is 35,000?
In the meantime, it was unbelievable to see with my own eyes that the egg was kept from bursting.
“Mr. Coolkan!”
At that moment, Choi Hyun-seok opened his eyes wide.
“Oh, Choi Hyun-seok is alive? You’re quite a tough guy.” “Kulkan! Look behind you! Look behind you!” “Huh? There’s something behind you…”
Kulkan, who was looking back, could not forget the words until the very end.
Kwajik!
The Queen’s leg, which had flown in without notice, pierced Kulkan’s head.
dump…
Kulkan died hugging the egg he had so desperately wanted to protect.
Kurrurur…
Rocks and piles of dirt are pushed away.
The queen who had been hidden inside revealed herself.
“Haa… Seriously, please…”
Choi Hyun-seok let out a deep sigh.
The queen, fully awake, shook her head as if shaking off the dirt.
And then he looked at his own stomach.
It seemed as if she was checking if the egg she was carrying was safe.
“Keeeek…”
Below there was only green fluid.
The king tried to protect the egg by keeping it in his brood, but it turned out to be poisonous.
Unable to support the weight of the falling rock, the egg burst open.
The lower abdomen was soaking wet with a thick green fluid.
The queen raised her head and looked at Choi Hyun-seok.
Choi Hyun-seok made a troubled expression.
“Hey. Humanly speaking, you can’t blame me for that, right? Okay?”
Rachel nodded repeatedly at Choi Hyun-seok’s words.
“That’s right. That’s true! But, sir.”
“why?”
“It doesn’t pop out?”
“I want to jump too.”
“Then why are you still?” “Because I feel like I’ll die if I move.”
“aha…!”
The Queen is incredibly large.
But the action was never slow.
Just a moment ago, Kulkan couldn’t even react before his head was blown off.
To begin with, the Queen’s speed was not something that could be overtaken by running.
“So what should we do now?” “Let’s just watch what he does first.”
As soon as Choi Hyun-seok finished speaking.
“Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”
The queen started running, screaming.
Choi Hyun-seok ran towards them.
The Queen’s legs pass right by.
Wedge!
There was a loud noise, as if a fighter jet was passing by.
‘You have to catch the egg to survive!’
Anyway, there is no answer if you just run away.
The legacy of Kulkan.
The last remaining egg.
That’s the only hope.
“Got it!”
The moment Choi Hyun-seok tried to catch the egg.
Whoosh!
The egg disappeared before my eyes.
The Queen was one step ahead.
The queen picked up the egg and placed it safely on her back.
“Keeeeeek! Keeeek!”
Choi Hyun-seok somehow thought that the queen was smiling.
“Hero. What should we do now…?”
“I know.”
Choi Hyun-seok blankly looked at the queen.
‘Ha… I really thought I was alive.’
In the end, this is the conclusion.
Choi Hyun-seok, who had been smiling bitterly, suddenly clenched his fist.
‘No. I can’t die like this.’
How have you held out until now?
He survived desperately, using all kinds of flattery.
I rolled and rolled and rolled and rolled and rolled and rolled and rolled and rolled and barely managed to survive!
‘There is still a way.’
The last method left to you.
Hero points earned by completing this hero quest.
▫Warrior Points: 450
‘While running away, I try to find something useful at the warrior shop.’
There will definitely be some items that will help.
Choi Hyun-seok’s eyes lit up.
‘Avoid your body in time with the Queen’s movements.’
When you run, your actions are restricted.
It would have been better to check the bastard’s movements precisely and then dodge.
‘now!’
As soon as the Queen’s legs were lifted, Choi Hyun-seok threw himself.
Kwaaaaah!
There was a loud noise as the Queen’s legs were planted in the ground.
The legs are stabbed repeatedly.
Choi Hyun-seok dodged the leg with reflexes that surprised even him.
But it’s too early to rejoice.
‘I don’t have time to browse the warrior shop!’
Because I was so focused on running away every moment, I didn’t have the energy to check out the warrior’s shop.
‘I don’t have any stamina anymore…’
Choi Hyun-seok’s stamina is already at rock bottom.
I’m holding on by forcibly squeezing my leg muscles, but how long can I go?
widely!
At that moment, my foot tripped on a stone on the floor.
Choi Hyun-seok fell to the floor.
Wheaaaaaaaaa!
Without missing a beat, the Queen’s legs fly in.
The Queen’s legs are getting closer in real time.
‘no…!’
Choi Hyun-seok closed his eyes tightly.
Kuung…!
A heavy noise is heard.
‘Are you alive?’
For some reason, Choi Hyun-seok didn’t die.
He opened his eyes slightly.
“ah…”
Red skin and a muscular, sturdy back are visible.
“Lord Raidrun…”
The little head Raidrun was blocking the queen’s legs.
“I thought you were alive, Choi Hyun-seok.”
Raidrun said without looking back.
Choi Hyun-seok felt like he was about to cry.
“I’ll take care of the rest.”
Flames began to shoot out of Raidrun’s horn.
He lifted the queen’s leg with his incredible strength.
‘Hey, can you hear that…!?’
Raidran grabbed the queen by the leg and knocked her down.
Kuuung!
The ground shook as the queen’s colossal body collapsed.
Raidrun ran without stopping.
Kwak! Kwak! Kwaang!
Choi Hyun-seok couldn’t even see what was happening properly.
You could tell that Raidrun was attacking just by the screams the Queen was making.
“Ugh!”
In an instant, black light poured out from Raidrun’s body.
He threw his last punch.
Phew!
The Queen’s head explodes.
Warm blood and entrails poured down from the sky.
Choi Hyun-seok smiled foolishly as he was hit by the debris.
“It’s really f*cking cool…”
