Episode 44
‘Unbelievable… … .’
The crystal status of minerals varies depending on the difficulty of the dungeon.
In 1-2 star dungeons, there is almost nothing useful even if you mine hundreds of kg, while more than half of dungeons above a certain level of difficulty are covered with valuable ingredients.
And the mineral area of the 7-star dungeon that I entered today was so rich that it could easily be called a ‘golden field’.
however.
Yuk Cheol-wan’s hands and feet were as stiff as a stone statue.
There’s only one thing he’s moving.
The only pupil was looking at Cheon Hae-seon.
‘beautiful… … .’
Yuk Cheol-wan is a warrior before he is a tank.
Because of his personality and abilities, he was only assigned to be a ‘tank’, but he had a fairly high level of knowledge in combat.
He was also a hunter who used his strength in regular dungeons at one time.
So I could know more clearly.
Cheon Hae-seon’s movements are at a level that cannot be explained.
It’s not just about speed.
Yuk Cheol-wan was paying attention to his ‘growth’.
It seems like it was just yesterday that the Purple Scorpion was captured, but Cheon Hae-seon had already surpassed the movements of that time.
Yuk Cheol-wan knew very well how difficult it was for a hunter to develop his abilities.
Once awakened, it is not easy to grow without special methods.
Even if an A-rank knight pours billions of dollars into ether, the increase rate will not be 3% at best.
But what is Cheon Hae-seon like now?
Even with literally astronomical amounts of money invested, it was showing impossible growth.
Parbat.
I knew that the new method he used was different from the method of a typical hunter.
So, even with a healer’s body, monsters can be slaughtered.
But to be honest, his fighting skills were so-so.
If it weren’t for that ‘dagger’ that inflicts fatal wounds with just a swipe, even Cheon Hae-seon would not be able to escape the struggle.
thud!!!
But Cheon Hae-seon was different.
There are no unnecessary movements like before.
It’s so fluid that it almost looks like a kind of ‘dance’.
Sword dance.
Among the enormously large golems, Cheon Hae-seon’s movements of defeating them with a single blow were literally ‘art’.
‘It’s been over 10 years since I acquired my hunter qualification, but I haven’t seen a single person grow like Hunter Hae-seon Cheon.’
Without even realizing that Bi-su was fussing next to him, Yuk Cheol-wan was busy just appreciating Cheon Hae-seon’s magical movements.
* * *
I intentionally struck the first attack on the golem’s forearm.
I wanted to see how they came out.
Crumbling.
Sure enough, the highly intelligent golems grabbed their own arms and tore them off.
He realized that the spreading poison energy was unusual.
Thanks to the ‘Purple Scorpion’ that attacked by cutting off its own tail, I was able to see that they also had their own ‘countermeasures’.
Suddenly.
The location of the core varies from monster to monster.
However, if it is the same ‘species’, the core is mostly located in the same place.
Even if you cut off their arms, legs, or even their necks, they started regenerating while cutting off the hit range.
After some experimentation, I was able to confirm the location of the core.
The only place that doesn’t play.
It was on their right side.
Faaat.
All golems are mostly slow in movement.
If it gets hurt, it just regenerates, so even if it gets hit in a few places, it fights by trying to catch it once and destroy it.
Obviously, this method doesn’t work for me at all.
Now that the location of the core has been discovered, they will only suffer ‘irreparable wounds’.
thud.
I hear a much louder roar than when I walked this way.
It’s only natural that a body the size of a five-story building falls and becomes lodged in the ground.
When they swing their arms the size of pillars, when they roar in anger, and when they fall to the ground after losing their lives, they scatter a thick lime substance.
Since toxic substances are being sprayed even at the moment of death, the special effect of ‘space encroachment’ does not seem to be an illusion.
Any decent hunter would have hardened their lungs without even knowing that they were poisoned.
However, not a single hair is harmed to this ‘king of addiction’ body.
“Ah, my eyes sting.”
At best, it is a blow that will make you rub your eyes.
Suddenly.
Fast and precise.
Jump over the golems and shove Exa into their sides.
Most hunter devices won’t be able to leave a big scar on these guys.

It would feel like cutting hard concrete with a fruit peeler.
However, a blade made of ‘black ether’ is stronger than most materials.
Although it cannot cut a golem’s body like cutting a head, it is at least enough to create a wound that penetrates the body.
And with just that level of injury,
thud!!
The golems fall down on their faces.
-Gooooooo!
The last remaining golem lets out a roar full of anger.
-Quwang!
… … Why are you crying like that?
The voice is also small.
However, it soon became clear that Pori’s roar(?) had a different meaning.
At the golem’s roar, other nearby monsters began to gather one by one.
From low-level mobs that don’t seem intelligent to species that seem quite strong.
It seems like the golem is gathering all the mobs in this dungeon to deal with me.
“It’s nice to save time.”
Suddenly.
I used ‘Dovetail’ to move between the legs of the last remaining golem, then immediately leaped upward and cut into its side.
The guy fell down with a ‘thud’ sound like the other guys, and I poured a lot of ether into Exa to extend the blade.
“Ugh. “It feels like cutting a stone.”
It seems that even the internal organs are made entirely of hard material.
It must be hard to extract all the cores of the golems here.
While the remaining monsters gathered one after another, I extracted a black core from the fallen golem.
He spread his palm, placed Exa, and placed a large black core on top of it.
Concentrate your mind while holding a core larger than a bowling ball with both hands.
Sharr.
“Eat as much as you can.”
Some into the arms of Exa.
And the rest on my body.
As the black core is converted to ether, Exa’s blade naturally increases.
The blade stretched for a while, and Exa trembled.
Is there about to be an overload?
If you’re not careful, Exa may explode.
-Keeeeeeek.
Various types of guys surround me, each making threatening noises.
“Are you all gathered?”
As soon as he finished speaking, numerous monsters spewed poison all at once.
Shuaaaa.
“Aye!!!”
“Hunter Cheon Hae-seon!!!!”
Even the party members who were somewhat at ease seemed shocked by this scene.
That’s because he ended up showering with poison without any protective equipment.
Monsters are hard to see because of the thick smoke created by the poison.
But it doesn’t really matter.
After all, Exa was fed to get rid of everything around her.
Take Exa in the reverse position and swing your arms as is.
The world’s deadliest substance spins around like a top and begins to indiscriminately massacre the entire area.
Bub bub buk.
-Keeeeee!!
Like a boomerang, he turns around and catches Exa, who comes back, and throws it again.
Grab Exa, who is covered in blood, and throw him again.
Repeat the same operation until the poison mist disappears.
Soon the fog cleared, and only a few monsters remained in front of me.
“What are you going to do with my clothes?”
Green onions.
It’s not a crustacean or golem type, so it doesn’t matter where you cut it.
After killing the remaining monsters, I wiped the blood off the black ether.
“Hunterniiiiim!!”
“Please don’t come.”
“?!”
“This area right now is the most dangerous place in the world.”
This is where hundreds of poison monsters of various types died.
For an ordinary person, if the smoke touches their body, their skin will melt.
“Ugh. “I guess it won’t work.”
Bisu took out the machine from his bag and started it.
At first glance, it looked like a small air purifier, but when you pressed the button, the surrounding toxic substances were sucked into the device.
“oh… … .”
I think we should definitely acknowledge the black market Poison Dungeon Jjambap.
There may not be a poisoner like me, but they were fighting against poison with their own skills and know-how.
Push-hik.
“and. “It’s so severe that this machine blows up in less than a minute.”
Bisu sticks out his tongue and taps the device with his foot.
Although it was broken, the toxicity was greatly reduced thanks to the device.
“I guess I won’t be able to move like this.”
“I guess so.”
Yuk Cheolwan nodded and took out a new training suit from his bag.
When entering a poison dungeon, an extra set of clothes is essential.
“… … “Why don’t you at least try to look at something a little different?”
“why? “Leave this beautiful sight behind.”
Bisu rests his chin with both hands while smiling like a bad boy.
He’s the same age as me, but he acts slyly like a neighborhood guy.
“ruler. ruler. Dagger lady. “The world has changed a lot, but let’s keep our manners.”
Yuk Cheol-wan lifted her up to make room for her, and only then did I change my clothes.
“… … “It’s terrible.”
Seeing the clothes discarded on the floor made me feel something new.
What a powerful poison I had just been exposed to.
Every single fiber was damaged to the point where it was embarrassing to call it clothes anymore.
On the other hand, there were no hits left on this side.
Even if it was inside the body, it was surprising to me that even the body hair was intact.
It was not clear whether it was not damaged from the beginning or whether it healed immediately.
“It’s absolutely terrible.”
Yuk Cheol-wan frowned as he looked at the corpses and my clothes around him.
I had heard that it was harsh, but it felt like I was completely sick of it after actually experiencing the environment of the 7-star dungeon.
“How much longer do we have left?”
“About three hours?”
I spoke to Bisu as if warning him.
“Don’t wait too long like last time, grab what you need and go out first. “You probably already knew that this was a 7-star dungeon.”
“What are you talking about? “I haven’t even seen the boss mob yet.”
“hey. “The golem difficulty level is 6 stars, so wouldn’t the boss mob be worse than that?”
“I have to check. “Do you know your father’s personality?”
“… … .”
hmm.
That makes sense.
To the Yaksha, ‘I’m sure it’s 7 stars! What happens if you report ‘I couldn’t confirm the boss mob!’
Rather than paying off your debt, it may end up costing you your head.
“If you don’t think it will work, run away.”
“Is it always like that? And do you know? “I wonder if it will be of any help to the maverick Palpuni.”
“I think it would be a big help even if we don’t have to worry about it like this right now.”
“I… … .”
While they were arguing, Yuk Cheol-wan suddenly intervened.
“My father’s personality… … . Perhaps you two have a relationship in which you have promised a future… … .”
“No?!”
“no.”
Although the tones were different, we gave the same answer, which seemed to make Yuk Cheol-wan even more confused.
hey.
Don’t get me wrong.
“We’re moving slowly.”
After gathering the collected items and black cores at the entrance, we rechecked the equipment.
Now that the subordinates guarding the dungeon have been defeated, all that remains is to infiltrate the enemy’s stronghold.
An old woman who was appraising rare herbs on the black market told me.
<If there is a gold movie, there is no way you wouldn’t know about it.>
What the old lady said was true.
Even when you first enter the dungeon.
Even when the golems’ lime dust tickles my nose.
Even when taking a shower with the poison of various types of monsters.
‘It smelled.’
The temptation of a deadly scent that I have never smelled before.
The smell was still clearly coming from one direction.
All five senses were whispering to me.
Over there, over the hill, is the owner of the 7-star dungeon.
And that there is a legendary treasure that has never been seen before.
Geumyeonghwa (金永花).
It was definitely there.
