Episode 65
Ditarterone (2)
next day.
Jeongdo was in Cheorwon, Gangwon-do.
‘It’s almost time.’
When he arrived at the location indicated by the coordinates, he was chewing an energy bar. It took some time to get there because the road was rougher than I thought, but I arrived before the dungeon was created.
and.
Jijijijik.
The sound of the air being torn apart was heard and a large crack appeared in the air. Jeongdo looked at that figure and smiled.
“That’s accurate.”
then. Would you like to check the information before going in? To some extent, I used observation towards the dungeon.
Tiring!
Dungeon name: Doppelganger Nest
Number of people limited: limited to 1 person
difficulty : ???
Type: Boss type
Monster that appears: Doppelganger (Boss)
Hidden Information: The skill stone <Mirroring> can be obtained when defeating the boss.
“… omg.”
A scary dungeon appeared.
Doppelganger. Boss type. Difficulty cannot be measured.
Just by looking at this, I could get a rough idea of what type of dungeon it was.
‘The level of difficulty will vary depending on who enters.’
Doppelganger.
This guy frequently appears in games and comics. A monster that copies the opponent’s abilities. Since there had never been any news of it being discovered until now, it seemed like it was a new Mons that appeared during the second cataclysm.
Naturally, there is no information about doppelgangers. Jeong Do asked Ixia something he was curious about.
“Ixia. “Can a doppelganger copy someone else’s equipment?”
<No. In our world, doppelgängers only copy the other person’s abilities and cannot copy their equipment.>
“That’s right.”
If so, it’s definitely worth a try.
His current status is at the A-level level and has reached S-level due to the effects of the equipment. This means that if the doppelganger cannot copy the equipment, it will ultimately be a fight between Class A and Class S.
“good. “Go in.”
Jeongdo injected mana into the crack and was sucked into the dungeon.
* * * * * *
“… “It’s blatant.”
The structure of the inside of the dungeon was simpler than any dungeon that Jeongdo had experienced.
There was nothing in the large enclosed space except for one thing.
One large door in the front.
It was the door to the boss room.
‘Now that I think about it, there were no regular monsters in the dungeon information.’
The dungeon that appears this time is a dungeon where only boss monsters exist.
The last dungeon was a mission-type dungeon with a lot of twists and turns, but this dungeon is simplicity itself. Jeongdo inspected the equipment with a wry smile.
“Whoa… let’s go.”
I opened the door to the boss room.
I turned my body sideways in the same position I opened the door.
Shoo!
As soon as the boss room was opened, a quick stab was fired towards Jeongdo. As if he had expected this, Jeongdo lightly turned his body to avoid it and retreated from the door. A figure walked out from inside the door with the sound of clicking one’s tongue.
Doppelganger.
A doppelganger who looked exactly like Jeongdo walked out the door holding a spear. And I asked the degree.
“what. “Did you know I was going to surprise you?”
“I saw something like that happen a while ago.”
It was one of the differences from the dungeon before the second cataclysm.
Bosses in previous dungeons recognized the enemy and charged at them only after the boss room was opened. So, the key to conquering existing dungeons was to prepare powerful skills in advance just before opening the dungeon door.
However, this method did not work for the newly created dungeons. Rather, while waiting for the door to open, the boss monster made a surprise attack. The reason why Kim So-ha was treated so absurdly was because of this.
This time, Jeong-do asked his doppelganger.
“I also want to ask you something. “Don’t doppelgängers usually change their appearance after encountering someone?”
“This isn’t fun. For some reason, I wasn’t surprised. “You even guessed my identity.”
The doppelganger frowned and said as if he didn’t like it.
“This is my nest. The moment you come in, my nest captures your information and passes it on to me. As a result, I am exactly like you… ”
The face of the doppelganger who spoke up to that point became stiff. And after a while, he spoke to Jeong-do in a shocked voice.
“Unbelievable! Did the copy not work properly? How could this… “What on earth are you?”
Jeongdo used observation towards the doppelganger.
<Doppelganger (Type: Jinjeongdo)>

Mana available: 71

Possessed skills: <Information Draw (Enhancement)>, <Bonding Draw>, <Combination Draw>, <Dual Rod>, <Dragon Attack>, <Host Bombardment>, <Lion’s Rear>, <Changryongbo (Enhancement)>, <Dragon Blood Awakening>, <Kaumka’s Fighting Spirit>, <Observation>, <Status Window>, <Immortality>, <Dungeon Map>, <Inventory>
The same level as the degree. And the status was visible without the item’s effect applied. Even the skills were the same, but there was only one difference.
<Communication-lv.2>
That much was different. The doppelganger was shocked because it was impossible, but for Jeong-do, it was as expected. I was confident that <Communication> would not be copied as is.
‘If <Communication-lv.3> is so easy to obtain, it can’t be the second time since the creation of the universe.’
He is the only talent in the entire universe endorsed by Winry. Barely(?) there was no way he could fall for the doppelganger’s copying ability. However, it was surprising that the doppelganger was so panicked. He is not a talent whose <Communication -lv.3> has a big impact on the battle.
<Isn’t it a matter of identity or pride? I think I would be shocked if there was a monster I couldn’t eat.>
“… “Don’t sympathize with strange things.”
Anyway, if the opponent was embarrassed, it was an opportunity. Jeongdo stepped on Changryongbo and rushed towards the doppelganger.
Shoo!
The strengthened Changryongbo was able to rush faster and farther than its existing speed.
‘It ends like this!’
However, just before the spear reached the doppelganger, the doppelganger retreated in an instant. The doppelganger also used Changryongbo.
“stomach… “It was dangerous.”
Although the attack was clearly avoided, the doppelganger’s complexion was not good. He found out from an exchange that had just occurred.
That a certain level of ability is superior to oneself.
If he continued to fight like this, his defeat was certain.
And I also realized that the cause was due to the equipment I was wearing. The doppelganger shouted at Jeong Do.
“You bastard! How cowardly! “Compete fairly!”
“… “You’re fighting for your life, but your cowardice is total.”
If the monsters are your opponents, even if they become more cowardly, how can you freeze to death by selling your hat? Jeongdo said it coldly.
“There’s a lot of talk about invaders. “Die peacefully.”
“Now, wait! “I didn’t come here because I wanted to either!”
Stop.
The movement that was about to rush again stopped.
“What do you mean? “Did someone force him to send it?”
It was interesting content. A chance to uncover the dark side of the monster invasion. Seeing that Jeongdo was showing interest, the doppelganger said.
“I will tell you anything. So please don’t kill me.”
“Hmm… “Who knows what might hit you in the back?”
“I will release the momentum. “If you think I’m doing something strange, kill me immediately.”
After saying that, the doppelganger’s spirit noticeably weakened. Even considering the distance was somewhat far away, the mana gushing out was barely noticeable.
‘what? ‘Is it real?’
The moment when Do-do is about to let go of his doubts.
<Master! no! It’s a lie!>
Ixia shouted.
“huh? But now I can hardly feel the doppelganger’s mana… ”
for a moment. Isn’t this too hard to feel? Even if you release the momentum, it is strange that you do not feel this much mana as long as you have basic status. Jeongdo used observation on his doppelganger.
And the information confirmed through observation was shocking.
<Doppelganger Type: Jinjindo (Load: Wired Construction)>
The reason why I barely felt any mana from my doppelganger.
The doppelganger was loaded by wire with an album load!
“Holy shit!”
The reason why Wired was loaded from the album is obvious. A method that he consistently used and saved him from danger.
A combination of luck and luck!
Jeongdo stepped on Changryongbo once again.
“late! Take note! “We never compromise!”
Paaaat!
Hundreds of millions of business cards spread out over the doppelganger’s head. It was a sight that other people could not see, but thanks to having the same level of skill, I was able to see it.
“come!”
The doppelganger shouted.
And a business card falls towards the doppelganger!
It was normal.
A normal business card without any light was absorbed into the doppelganger’s forehead.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Unfortunately, the doppelganger was mistaken about one thing.
Of course, Jeongdo often drew at least gold in crisis situations and was lucky, but there were other factors as well.
In order to aim for a confirmed rare or higher, I drew a bond up to nine times and then participated in the battle.
In particular, the items received a lot of correction. And of course, since the doppelganger did not have such items and preparations, the results were bound to be bad.
Jeongdo once again used observation on the doppelganger. Who did they actually select?
<Doppelganger Type: Jinjindo (Load: +1 Wired Construction)>
“… “It gives me goosebumps.”
I couldn’t laugh.
It was too trivial to laugh about.
Jeongdo said to his doppelganger with a bitter expression.
“Congratulations on your success in strengthening.”
Sigh!
“Oops!”
Rare monster doppelganger.
He lost his life like that because of the dirty and biased element of luck.
And at the same time.
<Level up! Mana increases by 1 and strength increases by 1.>
<Level up! Reflexes increase by 1.>
<Level up! Mana sensitivity increases by 1.>
.
.
.
<Level up! Mana increases by 1 and health increases by 1.>
“woah.”
A total of 10 level up notifications appeared. A real explosion. As expected, an invisible factor called experience limit was preventing the explosion.
Degurrr.
As I was looking at how much my abilities had increased, a bead rolled in front of me.
“Oh. “There was this.”
The skill stone I saw in the dungeon information.
Jeongdo picked up the skill stone with a satisfied smile.
* * * * * *
Dokdo.
A tragedy was taking place on a small island east of South Korea.
The original population of Dokdo was about 40 people. There are 35 Dokdo garrison members protecting Dokdo. And one user dispatched by the government. The rest were civilians.
However, there are currently only two people living on Dokdo.
Those two people were not people who had previously lived on Dokdo.
“good. “The dungeon will appear in a little while.”
“Knowing in advance which dungeon will be created. “It’s a miracle that only he can do.”
The two men were Class A users dispatched to Dokdo by Karma executives. They killed all the people on Dokdo to break the ice.
“You’re here.”
Jijijijik.
A crack appeared in front of the two men. After checking the scene, one man took out two items from his arms.
Blood jade and analize.
The man analyzed the dungeon with Analyze.
Beep, beep, beep.
“I’m sure.”
The grade shown in the analysis is ‘Unknown’
There are two cases where it is displayed that way.
One is a very special dungeon, such as a treasure dungeon or a doppelganger dungeon.
Or when the limits of what can be measured are exceeded.
In other words, it was a case where SS-class monsters existed.
The two men nodded and went to the front of the dungeon to use the blood jade.
Wooooow.
As the blood jade melted, the dungeon began to tremble rapidly. Eventually, when the tremors reached their peak.
Jijijijik.
The cracks in the dungeon began to collapse. The brake occurred successfully. After seeing that, a man opened his mouth.
“good. Let’s escape quickly. “You never know what kind of monster might come out.”
“okay.”
Just as the two people were about to tear the warp scroll apart.
“oh. this. for a moment.”
A soft male voice caught the two people.
“huh?”
“what?”
In an unexpected situation, the guild members turned their heads in the direction where the voice came from.
There was a handsome middle-aged blonde man wearing a robe and holding a cane. An outfit that clearly claims to be a wizard. One strange thing was that he had a pirate hat on his head. A middle-aged man with blonde hair smiled and asked the two.
“I was originally going to wait 30 days, but I was called in suddenly. Do you know the reason… Right.”
The middle-aged man’s eyes were focused on the man’s hand trying to tear the warp scroll.
Hands stained with red blood.
It was a trace of melted blood jade.
The middle-aged man, who understood the situation with just that, nodded.
“indeed. Is that what happened? “This is an unplanned situation, so what should I do?”
The man stroked his chin as if he was troubled. Karma’s two men, who were dumbfounded by the unexpected situation, asked the middle-aged man.
“what! you. “Where on earth did you come from?”
“Is it an association?”
The middle-aged man tilted his head in response to the two men’s questions.
“Association? What organization is that again? “I came from there.”
Where the middle-aged man pointed, there was a crack in the dungeon that was gradually disappearing.
“what?”
“This bastard. “What are you talking about?”
The two people who still didn’t know exactly about intelligent monsters couldn’t understand the middle-aged man’s words.
And the results were terrible.
“this. After all, living things are noisy. “Let me help you.”
Perfect!
The man snaps his fingers.
“Kwaaaah!!!”
The bodies of the two Class A users began to melt. It was a terrible sight, as if it had been touched by strong acid.
After some time has passed.
The two men had turned into pure white bones. The middle-aged man smiled as if he was very satisfied with that.
“good. “You are the first subordinate sailor of the new world.”
After saying that, the man looked around. What you see is an endless sea. The man smiled as if he was satisfied.
“Well then. “Let’s gather more crew.”
And after some time.
A state of emergency was declared not only in Korea but also in all countries near Dokdo.
