89. Lord is going to a Dungeon
“The subordinate monsters will soon come swarming around. I’ll take care of everything, so don’t get caught up in it. Do you understand?”
“Oh… Yes!”
Jeong Seon-kyung smiled wryly and grabbed her sword. She released the Karma she had been suppressing at once. A vast and dense Karma swept through the cave like a typhoon.
Hit!
Crash!
Walls and floors cracked, and stones splattered wildly. Its purpose was to remove hidden traps.
‘Some traps should be broken with this.’
“Gasp, gasp!”
“Ugh…”
Regardless of their intentions, the hunters became contemplative. When confronted with the power of an S-class hunter in front of them, their bodies reacted first.
“By the way, is it okay to send Hunter Ko Byeong-gap alone?”
Oh Yeon-woo was sweating profusely and barely spoke. Jeong Seon-kyung lit her cigarette and looked back.
“Why? Are you worried?”
“Well… a little…”
“You don’t have to worry about Ko Byeong-gap. He’s stronger than me, so at least he won’t die in a place like this.”
“I’m glad to hear that.”
“If you can afford to worry about him, just worry about yourself.”
She chewed her cigarette filter and pointed the sword head-on.
“The dogs are coming.”
“Cooooooh!”
“Argh!”
Hundreds of monsters flooded the aisle. Among them, B-class or higher monsters were also mixed in.
‘This dungeon isn’t B-rank.’
She told the crew that there was nothing to worry about, yet she was worried about Ko Byeong-gap and couldn’t take things back at that time.
She soon let go of her thoughts and shouted with determination.
“If you don’t want to die young, stay alert!”
***
Cookoo! Cookoo!
The Goblins paused and looked up. The tremors of the cave got worse, and there was a loud noise a while ago.
“It’s nothing. Let’s hurry up and go.”
“Yes, sir!”
Ko Byeong-gap urged the Goblins to walk.
‘They must be fighting up there.’
The source of that sound had to be Jeong Seon-kyung.
‘You’re not really gonna blow this whole place up.’
In fact, if she decided to do so, she could smash the dungeon without difficulty. If he were to line up how strong she was in Korea, she would be in the 0.2%. She didn’t get the S-class title for nothing.
Perhaps the number of monsters that blocked the front was significantly reduced thanks to her good lead from the above. Even so, it was a normal crack level.
“Kigigigig! Kigigig!”
“Howl!”
“Get rid of it.”
“Yes!”
Changsik and Taesik ran out like an arrow. Their sharp claws cut through the monster’s flesh and crumbled its bones.
“Whoa!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A lump of muscle came running from afar, carrying an ax with its big shoulders. One of the strongest C-class monsters, a Gigant Orc, trampled its own allies to rush toward Ko Byeong-gap. It aimed instinctively at his head.
“Kerreuk!”
The two Beast Goblins glued together and threw out their claws. The Gigant Orc quickly became covered in blood, but it didn’t collapse, either.
“Kree!”
The Gigant Orc approached the attack squad and struck down its huge ax.
“Stop it.”
“Whoa!”
Ko Byeong-gap ordered without pulling out his sword. Turka blocked the front with a shield.
Bang!
“Gasp!”
“Whoa!”
The Gigant Orc was bigger, but Turka was overwhelming. He bounced his shield and narrowed their distance quickly. Meanwhile, a big fist hit the Orc’s jaw and blew its head away.
‘I think he’s getting stronger day by day.’
“Good job, Turka.”
“Thank you!”
“Come on, let’s go.”
It took less than a moment for them to annihilate a dozen monsters.
“This way!”
As time went by, there were more and more crossroads. At first, there were at most two branches, but later, four and eight paths appeared.
However, Dorma went on without hesitation. Ko Byeong-gap felt that he was getting closer to Kim Ha-sun’s location.
‘Please stay alive.’
The closer Kim Ha-sun got, the more anxious he became. It bothered him that the one they lost was a healer. She was a top awakener, so she wouldn’t die like a frog attacked with stones. The problem was that her experience was far from sufficient.
If she was a first-time healer, she was most likely to know only how to do her specialty. She would have never hit a monster before, let alone on her own.
Imagine that such a person was left behind alone…
A hunter in her situation, who had lost their calm, would definitely waste Karma.
‘And if you burn out all your Karma, you’ll die.’
He stretched his legs and hoped that there would be no mishap.
After a lengthy sprint, they finally reached the end of the passageway.
“Lord… Lord? Is this…?”
“Shh! Everybody hide.”
“Yes!”
Ko Byeong-gap hid behind the wall and captured the view in front of him. It was enough space that was connected to dozens of passages, which stretched in different directions.
In addition, monsters swarmed in it. There were so many that he felt gross just by looking at them.
‘Why are there so many? There are 6,700 of them here. Some of the strong ones are mixed up in the crowd.’
The herd of monsters rushed into several corridors in a hurry. They were presumably headed to the place where Jeong Seon-kyung and the party were located.
“What should we do? Are we going to face it?”
“No, there are too many passages. Let’s wait until they thin out.”
“I see.”
They hid and waited for the monsters to disappear.
‘Is Kim Ha-sun over there?’
There was only one large burrow on the opposite aisle, which was different at a glance from the road they had passed so far. Perhaps it was the heart of that dungeon.
“I think the human that Lord is looking for is over there.”
Dorma recited quietly.
“Well, wouldn’t it be hard to say they’re alive if they weren’t as strong as Lord?”
“That’s exactly what I was thinking.”
Of all the places, she fell into the depths of the dungeon. There was no way she would ever get lucky again.
No matter how optimistic he thought about it, Kim Ha-sun would’ve died. Could he take back her body? He didn’t know.
‘We’ve come all the way here, so let’s take a look.’
After about five or six minutes, almost all the monsters were gone. Ko Byeong-gap glanced at the Goblins and drew his sword.
“Stick close to me.”
“Yep!”
“Let’s go.”
He appeared out of the aisle. As soon as he did, he kicked the floor and stretched out like the wind.
“Crrrr?!”
He cleaned up the remaining monsters quickly. They failed to make a proper counterattack against the sudden ambush and collapsed.
If they procrastinated, the pack of monsters might come back. Ko Byeong-gap hurried into the big cave.
The burrow was dark and long enough for ships to pass. His vision brightened after running for about 20 seconds without a break. At the same time, his eyes and mouth opened wide.
‘I didn’t think of this.’
Unlike before, a space full of artificial touches was revealed.
It was an open hall. Many large pillars stood on the straight wall, and torches and braziers scattered everywhere to light up the place.
On the other side, at the far end, there was a huge throne. It was more suited to a giant than an ordinary human. Of course, the guy that sat there was closer to a giant than a human.
“Lord, look over there!”
Kiriyan pointed up with his long lightning rod. Kim Ha-sun was floating in the air, covered in blood, and was unconscious. They had no way to know what was supporting her.
‘Are you deceiving us?’
It seemed as if she was left there to be seen, like cutting an enemy’s neck in war and hanging it on a pole.
Ko Byeong-gap slowly lowered his head and looked straight ahead.
A giant sat on the throne. Its upper body was covered by darkness, and only its two legs were visible, which resembled a man but were unusually large in size. When he stood, he was about 5 meters tall.
‘It must be the boss of this dungeon. Damn it. I thought it would go to Seon-kyung’s side.”
The reason for the deliberate uproar above was to lure the monster there. Of course, he thought the boss of this dungeon would’ve gone there. However, it sat there waiting so calmly…
‘It’s not an ordinary monster.’
Its Karma alone was beyond normal. More specifically, it was beyond a B-class monster, but his sixth sense was constantly signaling danger even though it just sat still.
“Be on your toes. We can’t deal with this in moderation.”
It didn’t move at all. Ko Byeong-gap slowly focused his aura on his legs. He was about to jump up and snatch Kim Ha-sun.
He leaped in an instant, and suddenly, dozens of lumps of light appeared behind the throne and shot after Ko Byeong-gap.
“Lord!”
“Ha-ha!”
Dorma and Kiriyan responded immediately by creating the same projectile. A large explosion occurred near Ko Byeong-gap, and in the aftermath, he failed to snatch Kim Ha-sun.
“Damn it!”
“Lord! Are you alright?”
“Oh, no problem.”
Ko Byeong-gap landed on the floor and stared ahead. Thanks to the lump of light, the image of the giant sitting on the throne was fully revealed.
His eyes widened greatly.
‘I… What is that?!’
He had never seen the monster before. It was almost like a human down to the bottom of his chest, but he had four arms, two on one shoulder, and its head resembled a goat.
It wasn’t rare to see a beast-type monster, but he had never heard of a giant with four arms with a mountain goat’s head.
‘What the hell is it…?’
It was something really bizarre. The boss held four monsters and three humans in his arms, and they were all female.
The monsters were a Harpy, a half-human Basilisk, a Satyr that was a monster closer to a man than a horse, and a female Orc. And above all, three human women.
The women were all hugged by the boss with a strange look on their faces. Since the boss’ body was so big, there was room left even if he carried seven women at once.
The atmosphere over there was so lewd. The women were all naked, and the boss monster’s bottom bulged.
“That’s crazy!”
Ko Byeong-gap spat with a frown on his face. He had seen so many things in his life, but he had never been as uncomfortable as he was currently.
At that time, the hands of the boss monster, who hadn’t even moved, moved. Kim Ha-sun floated in the air and was dragged over there when he flapped his finger a few times.
It wasn’t long before he spoke slowly.
“Yes… They…”
“Hm?!”
“These are… Worthy mothers… But you are not.”
“Lord! Lord! It’s speaking!”
“I have ears too.”
His hand that held the sword was energized, but he couldn’t rush to attack. It was due to the women being hugged by the boss.
‘What the hell are those women?’
They were obviously human beings. Who were they, and what was he doing with them?
‘All their eyes are open, but they look out of it.’
All the women looked like they were drugged. They fumbled with the boss monster’s body and didn’t even glance their way. Suddenly, the boss monster looked up and spoke.
“Where is the mother… Is it that way?”
“What are you talking about? What mother?”
Ko Byeong-gap yelled, and then the boss looked over there.
“You’re… You’re on the same wavelength, but you don’t really… You don’t look useful. Fierce… Rebellious.”
He murmured like that and kept rubbing the Basilisk. However, it looked distressed, as if the grip of the hand was too strong.
“Stop… Stop it… Ugh!”
She shriveled up and died.
It was really dead.
“…”
The boss calmly looked down at the dead Basilisk, then threw the Basilisk’s body their way.
Flap!
Orca lifted the shield and blocked the flying body. The Basilisk with a twisted body flew haphazardly.
At a glance, its body was thin and covered with wounds. It had been weakened badly.
“A strong mother… I need a strong mother.”
“Lord, talking to that wacky bastard doesn’t seem to be of any use!”
Dorma said. Ko Byeong-gap responded by staring at the other side with lifeless eyes.
“Oh, I’ve never seen anyone I’ve wanted to kill so badly. Dorma, Kiriyan. Cover me from a distance. The rest of you, protect the two.”
“Yes!”
“I see.”
Ko Byeong-gap got into position and gave off a formidable amount of aura. The Goblins also quickly got in formation.
‘We have to save those women and Kim Ha-sun first.’
Ko Byeong-gap came up with a strategy that reminded him of his goal. Suddenly, the boss opened his mouth again.
“I have similar things to you too…”
He bounced his finger, and then, about 30 people appeared around him. They were blurry at first but gradually took a concrete shape.
They were all Goblins. A King Goblin, which was also said to be the best among the Goblins.
“Kerreuk!”
“Kerreuk!”
Every one of them was enough to be the bosses of B-rank cracks. Their eyes were red and were growling their way.
“Huh? Those are…?!”
“They’re our kin! But why?!”
The Goblins on his side were bewildered. Kiriyan shouted, pointing forward at his lightning rod.
“Back off! How dare you point your weapons at the Lord!”
“Kerreuk!”
“Oh no. They’re still….!”
However, it didn’t work. The King Goblins were also all out of their minds. The giant boss monster laughed horribly.
“Hhhh… With my things… Yours. Which one… would be stronger?”
“… Hah. Indeed.”
Ko Byeong-gap stood around for a few seconds and laughed bitterly. There was a dark slack on his face.
“What do you mean, yours?”
“What…?”
“I command you as Lord.”
He just recited lightly.
“Kill that big bastard.”
“Kerreuk!”
“Kerrreuk!”
“Huh, what?”
The King Goblins turned the edge of their swords and started to attack the boss monster.
