Chapter 98: Stained Rock Pile (10) (2)
Yoo Eun-seol nodded.
“Yes. It’s a somewhat special dungeon, so there are conditions to enter it. I’ve been looking for party members. Coincidentally, Holder Do Jae-hyun meets those conditions. So I was hoping if you’d be willing, to clear the dungeon together…”
It was a bold proposal.
Dungeon raiding with just Yoo Eun-seol and me.
It was likely an experience no active Holder had gone through.
Moreover, this was information I hadn’t seen in the original work either, so it made me even more bewildered.
Yoo Eun-seol was an S-grade Holder who occasionally appeared in the latter half’s confrontation with the <Villain> clan. But such detailed content about dungeon raids wasn’t mentioned.
It was completely new information to me.
I carefully asked her,
“May I know roughly what dungeon it is? I’m still anxious to just accept the proposal…”
I know Yoo Eun-seol isn’t a villainous character.
On the contrary, she has such inner qualities, confronting and fighting the representative villains, <Villain>, in the latter half.
Knowing that, I joined the Stained Rock Pile Dungeon raid without hesitation.
But this case was different.
A dungeon raid with just an S-grade Holder and me…
Anyone could see it was strange.
If I readily accepted and got beaten to death, I’d have no one to complain to.
Fortunately, Yoo Eun-seol seemed to understand.
Nodding, she replied,
“Holder Do Jae-hyun has probably heard of it too. The River Touched by the Breath of a Dragon.”
“Dragon’s Breath…?”
The moment I heard the dungeon’s name.
A familiar feeling hit me, just as she said.
<The River Touched by the Breath of a Dragon>.
That was definitely…
Yoo Eun-seol’s solo conquest that allowed her to rise to an S-grade Holder, and the dungeon was rumored to be the stage for it.
Once I connected those dots, I tilted my head and asked.
“Isn’t that a dungeon whose raid has ended?”
A dungeon Yoo Eun-seol already completed the raid alone.
The dungeon’s first discovery, first clearing…
Solely by Yoo Eun-seol alone.
Its contents were so famous that <The River Touched by the Breath of a Dragon> was a well-known dungeon to the public.
Saying let’s raid it together didn’t make sense.
Yoo Eun-seol nodded briefly before asking again.
“Has Holder Do Jae-hyun heard of double dungeons?”
Double dungeons.
A special medium existing inside a dungeon.
Connecting to another dungeon through it, a dungeon within a dungeon.
Other than the peculiar method of entry, the structure itself was the same as a normal dungeon.
There was no way I wouldn’t know about it.
“Yes, I know about it. There are more overseas than domestic… Oh!”
I calmly answered then flinched midway.
Double dungeon.
And <The River Touched by the Breath of a Dragon>, whose raid was already completed.
Connecting those dots, a faint answer emerged.
“Could the dungeon you’re trying to raid be…”
“Yes. I’m trying to raid the double dungeon inside The River Touched by the Breath of a Dragon. It’s in the boss room, a location only I know. That double dungeon requires two Holders with special conditions to enter… Holder Do Jae-hyun meets those conditions.”
Yoo Eun-seol’s eyes turned to me.
Her hair, clothes, everything is pure white.
That atmosphere of a white snowflake seemed to reach her gaze.
“So while clearing the dungeons together, I’ve been looking for a chance to tell you.”
You don’t have to answer now…”
If it’s alright, we can have a more detailed talk later…”
Additional words like that rang out, but.
Honestly, they didn’t go in my ears well.
She is an S-grade Holder.
Even though I got stronger recently, the fact that I, who just reached B-grade, will be doing a dungeon raid with an S-grade Holder… was quite worrisome,
That I wouldn’t be able to accomplish much, and that it would be too dangerous.
So I honestly told her this part.
“I’m very grateful for the offer but… it will be difficult.”
“May I ask why?”
“Well… I’m better than ordinary C-grade Holders, but still, I just barely made it to B-grade… and with my skills, raiding a dungeon with Holder Yoo Eun-seol seems lacking and dangerous. I appreciate you thinking highly of me but I still think I’m insufficient in many aspects to raid such high dungeons.”
Dungeon raiding with Yoo Eun-seol!
It sounds like something I’d happily accept but thinking about <The River Touched by the Breath of a Dragon> difficulty, those words don’t even come out.
From the dungeon’s entrance, A-grade monsters appear slithering about, the boss room has an S-grade monster… moreover there are rumors it has power surpassing normal S-grade.
The double dungeon within such a dungeon.
Its difficulty absolutely wouldn’t be easy.
I really want to accept the offer too but with my current level, it is near impossible.
But despite my polite refusal…
Yoo Eun-seol’s expression didn’t change much.
Instead, in an extremely tranquil attitude she replied to me.
“You don’t need to worry about that. Holder Do Jae-hyun already has sufficient skills, and if there’s lacking parts, I can teach you.”
“Huh? What is that…”
Leaving aside the talk of having sufficient skills…
Teach me?
What kind of nonsense is this?
But before I could fully understand those words.
Yoo Eun-seol smiled slightly and held her hand out to me.
“Let me properly introduce myself. I’m Yoo Eun-seol, who will be a specialized instructor at the academy starting next semester. If it’s alright with you… I’d like for Holder Do Jae-hyun to take my classes as well.”
Bang-
Like being hit on the head with a huge bell.
What is this, again.
Yoo Eun-seol is an academy instructor?
Just how and what is going on here?
