Level Up
Chapter 2 Part 3
[Previous] [Table of Contents] [Next]
The dungeon didn’t just appear anywhere. There was a designated area where dungeons appeared. Those areas were controlled by the Dungeon Headquarters, but they could not be in control of all the dungeons.
Sometimes, there were dungeons being created by itself and there were dungeon hot spots that have not been discovered yet.
But the area that Hyunsuk and Chang Soo’s group was in, was one of the places that were being watched by the Dungeon Headquarters.
Chang Soo looked at Hyunsuk with a confused look on his face.
Hyunsuk was carefully choosing the next dungeon to clear.
This land was originally a part of the northern parts of Gyeongi-do. But as dungeons started appearing, it became a land that was handed over to the Dungeon Headquarters.
There were two significant differences in the dungeons. It differed so much that even the naked eye could sense it.
Hyunsuk slowly looked around the different dungeons.
There were a total of 78 different dungeons floating around in the air. Hyunsuk would be
choosing one of these dungeons to enter next.
But because there were an immense amount of dungeons being cleared, only 40 of them were accessible to other players.
No matter how many dungeons were cleared, this area had a set amount of 78 dungeons.
There would not be an increase of numbers of dungeons.
The floating dungeons appeared to be sucking in everything around them, but in reality it wasn’t absorbing anything. Even the air that was flowing around it didn’t exist.
There were two colors that indicated the type and level of the dungeons: black and white.
There were many more black dungeons than white dungeons. Even in different dungeon hot spots, black dungeons were ten times more common than white dungeons.
It was a given that the thunder dragonfly was a part of a black dungeon and the dungeon that Hyunsuk was looking for was a black dungeon.
“This is it.”
Hyunsuk walked in front of the dungeon he chose and stopped. A bronze level 1 dungeon.
You could figure out the level of the dungeon by how fast it was spinning and the size of the floating orbs. Anybody could see that the speed of how fast the orbs were spinning determined the level of the dungeon. For example, a level 5 dungeon’s orb spinned very slowly.
And a bronze level 1 dungeon’s orb seemed like it wasn’t moving at all because it was spinning so fast. It was super easy to determine the middle level, level 3 of the dungeons because it spinned at a mediocre way.
A bronze level’s orb was half as big as an adult male’s height. A silver level was as big as an adult male. A gold level was twice the size of a silver level.
In this area, there were dungeons all the way up to the gold level. But if you went to a more popular area for dungeons, there were levels of platinum and diamond.
The level higher than diamond was the King level. There were only two that existed in the entire world and a level higher than the King had not been discovered yet.
Anyways, Hyunsuk was standing in front of a bronze level 1 dungeon. He turned around and looked at Chang Soo and his group. It was his indication that he wanted them to enter the dungeon first.
“Why don’t you give us some time to rest before using us like slaves again?”
Hyunsuk didn’t respond to Chang Soo’s question. Instead, he just stared at Chang Soo and his group.
At Hyunsuk’s reaction, Chang Soo turned around with an embarrassed look and walked towards the dungeon while grumbling.
Almost as if Chang Soo was being sucked into the incredible speed of the orb, he entered the dungeon and his comrades went in after him.
“It’s taking longer than I thought… I guess we have to call it a day here,” Hyunsuk mumbled while approaching the dungeon’s entrance.
But different from the words he mumbled, his facial expression was bright. It was because a few days later, Chang Soo and his group members would become accustomed to the hunting routine that they would become faster.
Hyunsuk’s goal was to get through a dungeon five times in one day.
In one dungeon, it was possible to obtain 15 magical stones therefore, it means that it was possible to make an ideal total of $75,000,000.
Of course, if Hyunsuk took all the magical stones to the Dungeon Headquarters at once, they would get suspicious. But if he allocated the magical stones properly and took them in a timely manner, he would be making a steady amount of money throughout the rest of his life.
Truthfully, there was something way more important to him than selling the magical stones to get money.
Hyunsuk looked up at the floating letters on top of the dungeon and he entered.
“The Changing Thunder Dragonfly Dungeon.”
That was what was written on top of the swirling orb.
*
“Oh shit! Run!” Chang Soo yelled out very loudly. As soon as the people that was a part of his group heard, they all scattered in different directions.
RIIIIP!
There was a huge vine coming towards them like a whip. Chang Soo felt chills run down his back. If he was to be hit by it, his body would have been split in half down the middle.
‘Shit! What the hell is this guy doing?!’
Chang Soo rolled his body forward in search of Hyunsuk. From a distance, he saw Hyunsuk standing and signaling for them to come towards him.
CRACK!
If Chang Soo hadn’t moved, he would have been hit by the vine that passed by the spot that he was just in. There was a huge gaping crack on the floor.
The thing that they were handling in this dungeon was called the Vine Ghost. It is the dungeon’s master creature.
Earlier, it wasn’t this hard to handle the creature. It was because Hyunsuk was working with them to defeat it.
Hyunsuk was unbelievably, incredibly skilled at wielding a blade. The knife that he was holding had a blade of 50 centimeters and with that, he chopped and cut the vines that were coming at him without any problems or struggles.
That was why it was so easy for him to capture the master creature of the dungeon.
But that was not the case right now. Hyunsuk had completely taken himself out of the fight.
When Chang Soo’s group and Hyunsuk were fighting the thunder dragonfly, Chang Soo and his group members worked together to fight and bait the dragonfly while Hyunsuk delivered the most crucial and vital attacks to the creature. But right now, Hyunsuk was being completely nonchalant and it pissed Chang Soo off because he was not helping them.
If it was up to Chang Soo, he wanted to hold the knife that Hyunsuk was holding and wield it around to cut up the Vine Ghost.
But that was not something just anyone could do.
Another vine flew towards him. Chang Soo clenched his teeth hard and swung his knife in the direction of the flying vine.
SLICE!
This was the strength of the Vine Ghost. Although the vines that it threw out were slender and narrow in width, it was as strong as steel.
Chang Soo thought it was incredible that Hyunsuk had managed to cut through these vines multiple times.
“Oh shit! What the hell is he doing?!”
Chang Soo could not hold in his frustration and yelled out. At that moment, something had flown towards the Vine Ghost.
There was a grotesque cutting noise. The Vine Ghost’s head had been severed cleanly. And just like a joke, the vines stopped moving.
Chang Soo was face to face with the vine. He swallowed hard and slowly turned his head to look at the spot of where the Vine Ghost’s head had been cut.
Honestly speaking, Chang Soo wasn’t even aware that that was where the Vine Ghost’s neck was. He just thought it was a tree that was wrapped in numerous amounts of vines that shot them out in order to attack.
‘That was the weak point of the Vine Ghost?’
His body was covered with chills. Chang Soo turned around in the direction of where Hyunsuk was standing.
Hyunsuk was sitting on top of a hill looking like he was completely exhausted. It seemed as if he used a lot of his power to throw the knife in order to save Chang Soo.
Chang Soo was walking towards Hyunsuk but stopped. Hyunsuk had stood up and started walking in Chang Soo’s direction.
Hyunsuk did not even look at Chang Soo. Instead, he headed straight for the dead body of the Vine Ghost.
Just like the thunder dragonfly, the Vine Ghost did not have many valuable parts on its body.
It didn’t even possess a magical stone.
‘If it’s the master creature of this dungeon level, its magical stone would have held a big value…’
From the outside, this dungeon was a bronze 1 level dungeon, but this was where the changing thunder dragonfly resided.
It was a dungeon that was definitely different from what it seemed like on the outside.
That was why when this dungeon was cleared, the amount of power received by it was unbelievably huge.
Chang Soo stared at Hyunsuk, who was probing around the useless Vine Ghost’s body and approached him.
But there was no point in doing so. Hyunsuk had finished searching for anything valuable on the body and he stood up.
In Hyunsuk’s hand, he held a very large magical stone.
“You, one lucky bastard.”
In all the creatures that Hyunsuk hunted, he was able to retrieve a magical stone out of it. Chang Soo was now sure of it. It wasn’t just luck; Hyunsuk had a secret as to how to dissect the magical stone.
That was why Hyunsuk didn’t partake in the fight and patiently waited until he was given a chance to throw his knife at the Vine Ghost’s weak point.
There were different ways to kill different creatures, but Hyunsuk was planning to only kill the Vine Ghost and the thunder dragonfly in front of Chang Soo.
From this, all that Chang Soo would gain was probably just the two: the Vine Ghost and the thunder dragonfly. But even gaining those two creatures wouldn’t be an easy fight.
“Let’s go. Today’s hunt ends here.”
At Hyunsuk’s words, Chang Soo and his group followed him. But their eyes were different. They were all thinking what Chang Soo was thinking.
In order to close the dungeon, you must kill the boss creature of the level and find the core of the dungeon and destroy it.
The core of the dungeon didn’t present itself until you have killed the boss creature.
‘Well… the core doesn’t have to show in order for you to destroy it…’
Hyunsuk was incredibly sensitive to the flow of magic. Therefore, even if it didn’t show to the naked eye, he could sense about where the core of the dungeon was.
He could also destroy it.
But he wasn’t going to do so. Hyunsuk knew all too well of what would happen if he was to close a dungeon level when there were creatures still alive in it.
Finding the core wasn’t hard to do. The core held an incredible amount of power, health, and strength in it. Even a normal player could walk around it and come to sense that the core was nearby.
The core was in the shape of a huge boulder. If you broke that, the dungeon would close.
When the dungeon closed, you received power, health, and strength.
Hyunsuk approached the core and stood in front of it. You didn’t break the core using strength.
WHOOSH!
Hyunsuk poured his power into the core. The core started burning bright red.
Chang Soo, who was witnessing this act thought, ‘Geez… If you looked at the things he does, you’d never think that he was a rookie player in the dungeons.’
Who the hell is this guy?
