Chapter 35
‘They were the ones who discovered the undiscovered dungeon.’
To complete the quest, he had to head to that dungeon.
However, it was an undiscovered dungeon that has not yet been discovered by users.
When Lee Hwa-Rang performed the quest before returning, it was quite some time after the dungeon was discovered, but now it remains an undiscovered dungeon.
‘Good.’
An undiscovered dungeon means it has not been cleared even once.
In other words, if you hunt the boss monster, the item will drop with a 100% probability.
As he recalls, this dungeon is not a mini-dungeon that one person can enter, but a dungeon that requires three or more people to gather.
Since the number of people was just right, it was an offer that Jeong-Hoon had no reason to refuse.
“Let’s go in.”
Johannesburg took the lead.
When he entered the portal, a message appeared before Jeong-Hoon.
[The party leader has applied for a dungeon. Would you like to accept?]
At the time of PrettyPong, Jeong-Hoon had set everything up so that he could decide everything. But in this party, all party members had to agree to enter the dungeon.
When Jeong-Hoon agreed, the portal flashed and swallowed them.
[Lv.52 White Fang’s Den]
The dungeon level is 52.
Originally, it would be right to form a party of 6 or more people including a healer.
Johannesburg at level 78, Canvasla at level 75.
Limited to under 100 levels, if the difference is more than 20 from the dungeon level, an option is given to greatly increase all stats.
So they didn’t need a healer.
Of course, it’s another story for Jeong-Hoon.
‘It’s here.’
At the end of the dungeon, Vulcan’s equipment would be left alone.
That’s because the guys who robbed the blacksmith’s shop were attacked by the White Fang and dragged into this dungeon.
They’ll probably be lying dead next to the boss.
“Krrr! Humans! How dare you come here?”
[Lv.50 White Fang]
As many as 100 of them.
Guys hiding in trees and bushes, shining their eyes.
And the leader White Fang, leading them, was standing on a rock, staring at Jeong-Hoon, Johannesburg, and Canvasla.
“There are more than I thought?”
“Right.”
Johannesburg and Canvasla were relaxed.
This is because they had a buff to increase all stats, and White Fang had a debuff to decrease all stats, as the level difference was more than 20.
“It’s dangerous, so stay behind.”
“If anything happens, shout.”
In this battle, Jeong-Hoon was completely excluded.
Because he was simply filling in the headcount.
Of course, Jeong-Hoon wouldn’t just watch.
‘There’s no reason to waste time.’
Jeong-Hoon took out the Red Dragon Bone Bow and pulled the string.
And he aimed at the leader standing on the rock and released the bowstring.
Whoosh!
The arrow shot flew like a parabola and accurately pierced the leader’s forehead.
[Critical hit!]
White Fang’s weakness is the head.
A critical hit occurred, piercing the forehead, the soft part of the head.
“Cough!”
The White Fang, whose head was pierced, slumped sideways and rolled under the rock.
The White Fangs, who were hiding and watching the situation, were thrown into confusion when the White Fang, who was acting as the leader, died instantly.
[White Fang falls into ‘confusion’.]
Jeong-Hoon pulled the bowstring again and released it.
This time, the arrow accurately pierced the forehead of the White Fang hiding in the forest.
[Critical hit!]
A critical hit again.
‘I need to beat them up some more.’
There are too many of them.
In this case, add Magic Missile to add more firepower.
Jeong-Hoon chanted the formula and activated Magic Missile.
“Uh…?”
“What is that?”
Johannesburg and Canvasla froze with their weapons in their hands.
How can a level 34 martial artist shoot a bow so well?
There’s not even a quiver.
When he pulled the bowstring, an arrow was created where there was nothing.
“Hey… isn’t this a little weird…?”
While he was staring blankly, Canvasla poked him in the side.
Johannesburg came to his senses.
“It’s definitely weird…”
“Right? Damn, how can a level 34 kill a level 52 White Fang with one shot? And that’s a martial artist?”
===
[Player Information]
-Nickname: Hoon
-Level: 35
-Class: Lower Martial Artist (1st class)
===
No matter how much he looked at it, he was a low-level martial artist.
His level was 34, but it became 35 as if he had leveled up by hunting White Fang just now.
Even so, the level difference with White Fang is a whopping 17.
One shot a White Fang 17 levels higher?
He had never heard of it.
Whoosh!
Regardless, Jeong-Hoon continued to hunt the White Fangs.
[Critical hit!]
One White Fang falls with one arrow.
“Hey! Look at that!”
While he was admiring his archery skills, Canvasla pointed to another place without noticing.
He was annoyed for a moment.
“What… Huh?!”
Johannesburg, who was about to spit out a word, lost his words.
A bluish lump was beating a White Fang like a boomerang.
“That’s a Magic Missile!”
Canvasla, the wizard, recognized the Magic Missile at a glance.
But the problem is that he, the wizard, did not cast any magic.
That means…
‘Could that martial artist be… no way.’
That’s too much.
Then who cast that Magic Missile?
No matter how much he thought about it, the caster was only a martial artist.
“Aren’t you going to help?”
Jeong-Hoon’s words woke Canvasla from his thoughts.
Currently, Jeong-Hoon is the only one hunting White Fangs.
Johannesburg and Canvasla, who boasted that he should just watch when they entered the dungeon, were preoccupied with watching, let alone hunting.
“Ahem, we’ll step up too!”
Johannesburg drew his great sword and ran forward.
Following him, Canvasla created a fireball and threw it at White Fang, joining the battle.
* * *
For a party of 3 or more, the frequency of White Fang’s appearance was unusual.
The place he passed was full of White Fang corpses.
‘Not bad.’
First targets were Johannesburg and Canvasla.
Their role was over when they entered the dungeon.
So he was going to take care of them right away and comfortably conquer the dungeon, but…
‘Then what’s the difference between me and them?’
Jeong-Hoon’s original purpose was to end the game.
He didn’t want to backstab them like they did.
It didn’t make sense to deal with them even though they didn’t bother to pick a fight, so he turned his target to the leader, White Fang.
The choice was successful.
Johannesburg and Canvasla were pretty good at hunting despite being a normal grade 1st Class change.
Johannesburg, a warrior, went forward and drew aggro, and Canvasla added firepower from behind.
And Jeong-Hoon leisurely shot arrows and hunted White Fangs one by one.
Thanks to this, we were able to reach the boss zone faster than expected.
“…Hey.”
Johannesburg spoke to him for the first time since entering the dungeon.
This is the first time he has spoken to him since he has been concentrating on hunting since coming to the boss zone.
“What is it?”
“Are you really a martial artist?”
“Can’t you see the player information?”
“…No, does this make sense? Why are you shooting arrows so well? Even Magic Missiles… What the hell are you doing?”
“I’m a martial artist. I learned this skill as a martial artist-only skill.”
“Make sense…”
Johannesburg also knows how extreme the Steadfast Will learning process is.
This is why everyone avoids the profession.
There were no decent skills, and the special skill they threw was Steadfast Will.
“Ahem, anyway, about the reward…”
Canvasla intervened in the conversation.
“Let’s split it 33% each.”
Jeong-Hoon suggested sharing the stake equally.
Both thought for a moment, then nodded.
“All right…”
“Thank you.”
At first, they were going to fill Jeong-Hoon in as a headcount and split the reward 50% between themselves.
Also, the subjugation difficulty was not that high, so it was possible to subjugate it sufficiently.
However, as Jeong-Hoon hunted like crazy, 70% of the contribution so far was Jeong-Hoon’s share.
The remaining 30% was theirs, so it was difficult to divide the reward. Jeong-Hoon first suggested that they share 33% each, so they could not refute.
“Then let’s go in.”
Jeong-Hoon led the way into the boss zone.
In front of it, a giant White Fang was squatting.
[Lv.70 Giant White Fang]
However, his eyes were not on the boss, but on the bodies next to him.
A question mark was blinking above the corpses’ heads.
[General Quest: Thief Rex]
-Restriction: User who completed Woo-Gang’s quest
-Reward: Stolen items
-Description: The small Rex Bandit was wiped out by the White Fang’s attack. Defeat the giant White Fang and retrieve the items they stole.
Correct answer.
Through this quest, he will be able to entrust the refining to the blacksmith Vulcan.
Jeong-Hoon accepted the quest.
“I’ll pull aggro!”
Johannesburg jumped forward.
His sword attack poured out on the giant White Fang.
However, unlike the normal White Fang, the boss’s level is a whopping 70.
Even though Johannesburg was above par, he could not push the giant White Fang.
This is because the equipment is a little poor compared to the level.
“You damn human!”
[Lv.70 Giant White Fang uses ‘Roar’.]
[You are in a state of abnormality (fear).]
The unique skill the giant White Fang had was an area debuff.
Jeong-Hoon, who was only half the level, felt his body freeze.
Although his mind was calm, his body, which was only Lv.35, was trembling, caught in an abnormal state.
Despite this, Jeong-Hoon’s face was calm.
‘This feeling is nostalgic too.’
An abnormal state that he had been tired of.
If he used divine power to get out of the abnormal state, it would be an easy problem to solve, but Jeong-Hoon did not do so.
“I’ll block it from the front!”
Johannesburg and Canvasla were hardly restricted in their movement despite being under the Giant White Fang’s area debuff.
Because the level was high.
Therefore, they started attacking the giant White Fang to protect Jeong-Hoon.
Thanks to this, Jeong-Hoon was able to leisurely watch the situation and operate his mana.
[Martial Artist’s exclusive skill, ‘Steadfast Will’ is activated.]
[Acquire the skill, ‘Debuff Resistance (Rare)’.]
Raising mana to overcome the abnormal state and circulate it throughout the body.
That was the condition for acquiring new skills.
Originally, it would have been a longer process.
‘Is it because he’s a Martial Artist? Steadfast Will reacts quickly.’
After the first class change, the speed at which Steadfast Will reacted became faster in a different dimension.
Well.
This is called a Legendary class.
Jeong-Hoon grinned.
[‘Debuff Resistance’ reacts to divine power.]
[The level of ‘Debuff Resistance’ increases to 5.]
Debuff Resistance skill that reacts immediately to divine power.
The skill he just acquired instantly rose to level 5.
[Debuff Resistance]
-Type: Passive
-Level: 5
-Grade: Rare
-Strongly resists debuffs. (Up to 10%)
Up to 10% resistance.
Jeong-Hoon then used his divine power.
Unlike mana, divine power is not limited by level.
That’s why healers of the non-combat type are always in demand and are treated preciously.
[Freed from the abnormal state (fear).]
The trembling of the body subsides.
Jeong-Hoon slowly pulled the bowstring.
Currently, the giant White Fang was completely focused on Johannesburg.
‘The vital point of the giant White Fang is also the forehead.’
However, its defense is stronger than that of the Lv.52 White Fang, and the exposed area is narrow, making it very difficult to hit.
You need to shoot more carefully.
But he’s not worried.
This is a bow he has touched so many times that he’s sick of it before returning.
It’s an archery skill he learned from those who are good at archery.
‘Only by removing even the slightest tremor can you hit the target properly.’
Advice he heard from Lee Hwa-Rang.
It is undeniable that he has overcome countless hardships with the help of his colleagues.
Although they are now no different from traitors, that advice was enough to become flesh and blood.
Johannesburg and Canvasla teamed up to push the giant White Fang, but the last hit will be Jeong-Hoon’s.
He pulled the bowstring and released it.
A powerful arrow with Arrow activated.
The arrow was shot in a parabola and then hit the giant White Fang’s forehead.
And very accurately.
“Kyaak!”
[Critical hit!]
A critical hit occurred and the giant White Fang’s massive body collapsed sideways.
