Chapter 31
Episode 31 I’m here to sweep the dungeon. (3)
What came out of the ground was a small, antique wooden box.
“As expected, it was a dungeon box.”
-Dungeon box?
“Sometimes you find boxes like this. “It’s called a dungeon box.”
-It’s not like it’s an old-fashioned thing to say that an item comes out of a box.
“I know.”
-Huh…
Darkness waved his sword blade to both sides.
-It shows monsters and hidden items? This map is so crazy!
“Anyway, this benefit is only given while you complete this quest, so what’s the point?”
-That’s true, but…
I lifted the dungeon box and looked up and down. Since there was no lock, it seemed like I could open it right away.
-What are you doing? Open it quickly.
“You said it was boring, but are you curious?”
-Geez…
Baek Woo-jin teased Darkness once and opened the box. A bright yellow light flashed inside the box.
“Gloves?”
What was in the dungeon box was a brown leather glove. Although it looked a little dirty, it was well-maintained, so it looked like someone had used it with care.
“Darkness! please!”
-Ugh, I’m doing it.
About 5 seconds after Dark’s words ended, item information appeared in front of Baek Woo-jin’s eyes.
[Gloves of the Free Knight.]
These are the gloves used by the Free Knights who wandered the continent. It is neatly trimmed so there is no problem in wearing it right away.
Grade: Rare
Wearable conditions: None.
Swordsmanship +4
Mana +4
“Awesome!”
-You have to bow to the system.
I heard that most of the items from the dungeon box were crap. I was lucky enough to find a rare item for inspection. I really wanted to bow to the system.
“It’s perfect.”
Baek Woo-jin immediately put on the gloves and tried moving his fingers. It was soft to wear, perhaps because it was well-maintained.
“I got everything I got. “Let’s finish it.”
-Looking at the map, it looks like you only need to catch two more.
“okay. “I can leave 6 to you.”
The number of orcs remaining was 8. Six of them seemed like they could be handled by the talented people who came to the party, and two were stuck in the left corner.
Baek Woo-jin ran to the corner and took out the two remaining orcs.
Coo coo coo coo.
As the last orc fell, the dungeon shook, as if there had been an earthquake. This means that the dungeon disappears because all the monsters are dead.
[You have cleared the dungeon with the highest contribution.]
[Quest progress 1/20]
-The quest has also progressed.
“Let’s go out now.”
As I moved to the exit of the dungeon, I saw talented people from the Daewoong guild and the Boramae guild. They stood blankly with black bruises on their faces. They seemed like people who had lost their soul.
“What on earth happened today?”
“Is there even an expert from the party?”
“no. “They were all level 3.”
“I feel like I’m possessed by a ghost.”
“Ugh…”
Baek Woo-jin followed behind the talented people and quietly left the dungeon.
-They just had fun throwing punches, and you took care of all the benefits.
“It’s all their karma. “If they hadn’t cursed at me, I would have taken it in stride and finished it.”
-Tsk, that’s right.
“The parties I didn’t touch would have caught more orcs than usual.”
Baek Woo-jin didn’t even touch the parties that didn’t swear at him. Thanks to this, the 9 talented people were happy to have captured more orcs than expected.
“They say that good fortune comes to people only when they live a good life.”
-You are far from being good, but good luck follows you. How many things did you get just today?
“As I said before, I am a person who doubles the favor and takes revenge tenfold. “It means being good at the root.”
-You’re laughing.
When Baek Woo-jin left the entrance of the dungeon, chatting with Darkness, Moon Ju-young appeared.
“Thank you for your effort.”
“It was a good dungeon. thank you.”
“no.”
Moon Joo-young lowered her head with a calm expression.
“Have you had much experience in actual combat?”
“I killed the boss and about 90 orcs.”
“yes?”
Moon Joo-young’s smiling expression hardened when he heard that he had caught the boss. He doubted whether his ears were working properly.
“Did you just say 90 orcs?”
“okay.”
“Ah…”
Moon Ju-young’s mouth opened wide at Baek Woo-jin’s light answer. Knowing Baek Woo-jin’s skills, I expected that he would catch the boss. But it didn’t make sense to kill 90 orcs.
‘What is this person’s true identity?’
It was absurd. Usually, the number of monsters in a level 2 dungeon is around 150. Caught 90 of them means that you caught 3/5 of the monsters in the dungeon by yourself.
“Did you have a party inside?”
“I went there for training, but there’s no way I could do something like that.”
“Huh…”
Moon Joo-young’s eyes trembled violently. It’s not that there are no competitors, and it’s an insane level of performance to kill 90 monsters and bosses among 29 talented people in the guild and party.
‘This person needs to move up quickly!’
Moon Joo-young pledged not to spare any support in helping Baek Woo-jin become stronger.
“young master. “I’ll get the next dungeon right away!”
**
Thanks to Moon Joo-young’s generous help, Baek Woo-jin cleared two more dungeons in two weeks and is now on his way to the fourth dungeon.
-If you beat the dungeon today, it will be the 4th.
“Thanks to the competent escort. “I don’t know how they do it, but they get the dungeon very easily.”
-Moon Ju-young would listen even if you told him to die. You must be doing all sorts of things.
Baek Woo-jin chuckled at Dark’s words and looked at the competitors for the dungeon he was entering today.
“Hmm…”
-Why?
“Their atmosphere is a bit strange.”
Usually, before entering a dungeon, the faces of those with abilities show a mixture of excitement and tension. However, there was a shadow on the faces of the talented people seen now.
“Today’s dungeon isn’t particularly difficult.”
-Aren’t you nervous because it’s your first time in a dungeon with a boss?
“is it?”
-They are competitors anyway, so why bother? Just do your thing.
“For the first time in a while, you are saying the right things.”
Baek Woo-jin chuckled and turned his head. As the darkness said, there was no need for him to care whether their faces were dark or not.
“It’s open.”
Baek Woo-jin entered the dungeon as soon as it opened. This dungeon was a level 2 dungeon with nols appearing.
[Deira Gnoll Dungeon]
Terrain: Forest.
Total monsters: 130.
Remaining monsters: 130.
Monsters caught: 0.
Monster characteristics: Good with weapons. When injured, they run away and bring their compatriots with them. Attacks the target that attacked first.
Boss: Deira Gnoll Fighter.
Boss characteristics: Has fast movement and attack speed and is good at close combat.
“He’s a nol fighter.”
-He is a smart guy who uses dual swords and invites close combat. If you get close, they will even bite you with their teeth.
“Then we’ll have to approach and fight.”
-Did you listen to my explanation? I heard you’re good at close combat.
“It’s worth training if you fight where your opponent has the advantage.”
-Well, you say the right thing this time.
“haha!”
Baek Woo-jin smiled and looked at the map. As he was calculating the shortest route to the boss, a large middle-aged man approached him.
“hey.”
The middle-aged man with a scary look looked more like a gangster or a gangster than a person of ability.
“You’re trying to do something hyena, right? “It’s 80%.”
Baek Woo-jin frowned. I couldn’t understand what they were talking about when they suddenly said 80%.
“Don’t pretend you don’t know everything when you know it all. They say they will let you follow us if you give 80% of the items and magic stones you obtained. “If you listen well, I’ll add you to the guild.”
The man said that and pointed behind him. Behind him, 28 talented people, excluding Baek Woo-jin and the middle-aged man, were gathered in one place.
‘what?’
-Why are you doing that?
‘This isn’t just a dungeon, it’s a dungeon with a boss. They’re clearly different guilds, but it’s strange that they’re all together and not competing.’
-Come to think of it, when I was outside the dungeon, those guys were divided into three groups.
‘Suddenly they are making nonsense about putting me in a guild, and the talented people behind me are looking at me with dark expressions. ‘These guys are a bit strange.’
Baek Woo-jin looked at the people behind him with a questioning expression. Except for a few talented people who exuded bad energy like the middle-aged man in front, they all had heavy faces.
“You have no choice anyway. “If you refuse and follow me, I will rip your arm off.”
The man exposed his teeth as if he was growling and threatened Baek Woo-jin.
“Huh…”
A laugh came out of Baek Woo-jin’s mouth. I thought about touching it to find out who it was, but I was grateful that it started an argument on its own.
“Because I’m busy. “Leave that bullshit to your little bastards.”
Baek Woo-jin waved his hand as if swatting away flies. A vein rose on the man’s forehead when he saw that.
“You bastard!”
The man swung a fist like a pot lid at Baek Woo-jin.
“I can’t even look at you because your words and actions are so cheap.”
Baek Woo-jin stepped backwards and struck the middle-aged man in the back of the head with the sheath of his sword.
Sigh.
The man’s head hit the ground with the sound of a nut cracking. There was no movement as if he had been stunned by the blow.
-It’s a nice shot. It sounds cool!
The darkness also giggled as if it didn’t like the man.
“More Deokcheol bro!”
“What is this!”
“Did you see this guy hit first? “I am not at fault.”
Baek Woo-jin shrugged his shoulders as if teasing them.
“You bastard!”
“dare! “Brother!”
The deacon and prosecutor rushed to Baek Woo-jin.
Bye!
Baek Woo-jin hit the prosecutor on the forehead before he could even draw his sword, sending him flying backwards.
“Wow!”
He walked in a circular motion, moved behind the deacon, and hit the back of his head and hit the ground.
“Are you not going to attack me?”
Baek Woo-jin dusted off his sword scabbard and looked at the confused talents.
“We’re not close friends and we’re in different guilds. Haha…”
The prosecutor, who was about to draw his sword, smiled awkwardly and bent down. The wizard next to him also waved his hand and gestured that he had nothing to do with them.
-That’s bullshit. You may not know about the guys behind you, but the guys I just mentioned are all part of the same gang.
‘know.’
-If you know, why don’t you lose?
‘Am I a gangster? Beat up people who didn’t even attack you?’
-Then are you going to leave it alone?
‘Now is not the time. ‘I think I know who they are.’
Baek Woo-jin put the sword sheath on his waist again. He looked at the talented people once, then turned back and ran toward the boss.
“Those are the guys who run a multi-level guild.”
-Multi-level guild?
“They call it a multi-level guild and a gangster guild. Simply put, it’s a guild run by talented gangsters. These are people who prey on the weak and forcefully exploit them. “I murder, I rob, I steal, I lend money, I do whatever it takes to gain it.”
In his past life, there were many cases where multi-level guilds grew into large guilds, so Baek Woo-jin knew what kind of people they were.
“They’re divided into three guilds, but it’s safe to say they’re actually one guild.”
-Are you really trying to monopolize the dungeon?
“that’s right. That’s why they gave me an 80% offer. “The one I’m introducing is probably a multi-level guild.”
-Huh…
Baek Woo-jin continued, understanding Darkness’s bewildered reaction.
“The people messing around in front are the real guild members of the multi-level guild, and the people helpless in the back are probably people who were forced to join due to their weaknesses.”
-They are trash. Go and destroy it before it runs away!
“Because now is not the time. “It’s obvious how those idiots move.”
Baek Woo-jin smiled.
“If you catch the boss and go back, they will greet you kindly at the exit.”
**
“Brother Deokcheol. The monster’s aura has disappeared. Looks like he got the boss.”
“Take care of the monsters in front and everyone move to the entrance!”
Kim Deok-cheol, who had fainted after being stabbed in the back by Baek Woo-jin, gritted his teeth and led the talented men toward the entrance.
“Since we caught the boss, the damn thing must have been injured too. When it appears, immediately throw a fireball at it. When the fireball hits, it sprays poisonous needles and shoots arrows. The rest are all about hitting him at the same time. okay?”
“older brother. He seems strong, but will this work? I caught the boss by myself…”
“Do you do business for a day or two? Not long ago, you killed a level 4 swordsman using this method. Just do the same! “There is no business in surprise raids and raids!”
Kim Deok-cheol and his subordinates often ambushed and killed people stronger than themselves. They planned to murder Baek Woo-jin in the same way as then.
“I’ll tell you how scary the dungeon is.”
Kim Deok-cheol had no intention of letting go of the man who had stabbed him in the back. They will kill you painfully and take away your items and magic stones.
“If you guys just keep watching this time, I know you’ll go back and search. okay?”
“Oh, I understand.”
The 20 talented people behind them lowered their heads as if they had no choice.
“come. “Get everything ready.”
After about 30 minutes, Baek Woo-jin was seen approaching the exit. Seeing that half of his clothes were stained with blood, it seemed as if he had been injured, as expected. Kim Deok-cheol raised his hand and signaled everyone to prepare.
‘Now!’
The moment Baek Woo-jin entered the entrance, two wizards hiding on either side used fireballs.
Hahaha!
Flames fluttering like a snake’s tongue rushed towards Baek Woo-jin.
Quaaaang!
As the fireball exploded, a firestorm swept over the place where Baek Woo-jin was standing.
“Now is the time. Throwing poison needles and arrows and everything…huh?”
Kim Deok-cheol, who was giving instructions as he ran, turned white. This is because Baek Woo-jin, who should have been hit by a fireball, disappeared.
“He’s gone! Be careful….”
“Aaagh!”
A tearing scream was heard from the right. It was the scream of a wizard throwing a fireball.
“Ah…”
Kim Deok-cheol turned his head, shaking his hands. The wizard collapsed, bleeding, and Baek Woo-jin appeared behind him.
“Hey!”
When I saw Baek Woo-jin’s cold eyes, an unknown chill permeated my whole body. The chill felt like the dungeon had turned into an ice cave.
“Ah…”
Kim Deok-cheol finally realized that he had touched a monster that should not have been touched.
Jerk.
A cool voice came out from the mouth of Baek Woo-jin, who slowly approached.
“It’s too late to regret it.”
