Chapter: 30
Thud-!
Hanbit, holding Flona, quickly traversed the safe zone.
"Whoa!"
The girl was surprised, her eyes widening at the unfamiliar experience.
Meanwhile, Hanbit concentrated on the wind gathering around his sword.
'Let's go safely.'
The most dangerous trap-filled passage, with one section left.
He couldn't guarantee Flona's safety if he went through it like before.
Swoosh-
As the end of the safe zone came into view, Hanbit focused on the sword in his right hand.
What was important now was the accurate trajectory.
He had to neutralize the traps while maintaining the shape of the passage at least.
Thud-!
Stopping his feet, he turned his body and took a stance.
And as force was applied to his sword-wielding hand.
Wheek-!
The sword swung in an arc.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-!
The wind, flying in a clear form, swept through the cave violently.
The ceiling and walls collapsed and fell along the trajectory of the wind.
All that remained was a newly created space, tilted and on the verge of collapsing.
"I'm going to run a little faster. Is that okay?"
"It's okay! I'll hold on tight...!"
Whoosh-!
He sprang forward before she could even finish her sentence.
The unexpected speed involuntarily drew a scream from timid Flona's mouth.
"Waaaaaaaah!"
Wheek-!
Hanbit used Wind Movement to increase his speed to the extent.
The reason for this appeared from behind the passage he had just passed.
Thud-!
Kwa-deuk-!
A rusty spear blade popped out from the ceiling and plunged down to the floor with a creak.
Some traps couldn't be destroyed by external attacks.
However, thanks to the collapsed passage hindering it, he was able to overcome it with speed alone.
"Be-behind...! Kyaaaaaaaa!"
Flona, whose gaze was fixed behind, screamed at the falling trap.
The viewers watching the scene were equally flustered.
-No way lol
-He's getting past the trap section like this?
-Could this be solved by destroying it?
-No, many people tried to destroy it, but the passage completely collapsed.
-But what is this now?
-This is crazy.
The solution, which was far from their expectations, threw the chat window into chaos.
Thud-!
Hanbit, focused only on the front, didn't stop running.
And after tens of seconds, which felt long to those watching, he reached the exit of the passage.
Kieek-!
Rusty blades flew in from both sides with a grotesque sound.
Hanbit ducked down sharply.
Clang-!
The two blades collided and crossed in the air above his head.
"Ahh!"
Flona, who had been caught up in the impact of the high speed, gasped at the sudden situation.
But Hanbit, who had already changed direction, kicked off the ground and thrust his sword upwards to the right.
Puck-!
The blade pierced through leather.
Keuk-!
The goblin, who had launched the surprise attack, couldn't understand the situation.
This was because his neck was pierced at the same time he launched his attack.
His own weapon was just cutting through the air.
Chaak-!
Hanbit pulled out his sword and turned his body to look to the left.
[Goblin (Lv.24)]
Kieeeeek-!
Another goblin rushed in, screaming at the futile death of his comrade.
Hanbit, reading the simple trajectory of the sword, lightly turned his body with one foot as the axis.
Whoosh-!
The goblin's attack, which was full of force, faltered and was directed downwards.
When its center of gravity collapsed, Hanbit's sword slashed across the enemy's neck.
Chaak-!
The goblin collapsed to the floor, blood splattering in the air.
This scene, which unfolded in such a short time, was shocking to everyone except Hanbit.
"Uh...?"
-Holy shit.
-I was counting on the surprise attack.
-What's with his reaction speed?
-The goblin is level 24 lol
-It ends with a single stab?
-Instant death judgment lol
Flona blinked blankly, and the viewers reacted with bewilderment.
The reason the goblin died in a single blow was simple.
The damage dealt, based on the point of impact, was maximized by piercing a vital spot.
It was a natural hunting method for Hanbit, who had spent a long time immersed in battle.
"Hold on tight. We're going right away."
"Ah... yes! I'll hold on tight...!"
Thud-!
Once again, he sprang forward before she could finish her sentence.
The newly revealed space was a huge area with walls reaching the ceiling, intricately connected.
It was a structure commonly called a maze.
-But there's the maze master.
-If Black Dragon wastes all his time here, it'll be awesome.
-Really, even if you look at the guide, it takes a long time.
-It's so damn confusing lol
The viewers' mood changed once again, as this place also seemed to be notorious.
What they expected was Black Dragon screaming every time he reached a dead end.
Rumble-
The passage behind them closed as they crossed the boundary.
Hanbit, without looking back, moved forward without any hesitation.
Thud-!
Before him, several passages were visible.
The uneven floor leading to them looked suspicious at first glance.
-Uh oh, he's running.
-Didn't this guy look at the guide?
-lol 3 seconds until death.
-Goodbye~
Countless traps were laid out in that area.
Seeing Hanbit continuing to run, the viewers expected a tragedy to unfold.
However, Hanbit's actions deviated from their expectations.
Thud-!
He jumped high and stepped on the nearby wall with his foot.
Just before his body was pulled downwards, Hanbit put force into his foot and jumped again.
"Euaah!"
Flona cried out in surprise at his eccentric act of jumping from wall to wall.
Her arms, which were wrapped around Hanbit's neck, tightened involuntarily.
-?
-What is this?
-He's even running on the walls lol
-This solution is crazy
[Trap has donated 1,000 won.]
[Damn it, come down.]
Whoosh-!
Amidst all sorts of reactions pouring in, Hanbit continued to jump across the walls.
Despite the winding and complex structure, his movement speed gradually increased.
The numerous traps laid out on the floor just lay dormant in silence.
'There it is.'
After jumping over a few more walls, he spotted a gap between the passages on the right.
A smooth floor where the bumpy terrain ended.
Thud-!
With a powerful thrust, he propelled himself across the open space, his body suspended in flight.
Flona had her eyes tightly shut the whole time she was being held.
Thud-!
Reaching his destination, Hanbit landed lightly on the floor.
Right in front of him was the bumpy trap zone.
The section that was long and difficult for others was concluded so simply.
Naturally, the viewers' reactions were heated.
-Wow, this becomes a shortcut;
-This is really crazy lol
-The guys who were casting voodoo spells are shutting up.
-Did he memorize the whole path?
-No, even I can memorize the beginning.
-He'll be blocked soon.
-He can't do that anymore.
-This is a 'dungeon'.
The viewers assumed that he had only memorized the beginning of the maze.
That prediction was completely wrong, but Hanbit was also well aware of the warning that this was a 'dungeon'.
Creak-!
A sound came from nearby.
As he climbed over one of the walls, three goblins appeared in the narrowed passage.
[Goblin Archer (Lv.25)]
[Goblin Archer (Lv.25)]
[Goblin Warrior (Lv.26)]
Kik-!
The goblins, having spotted their prey, moved towards them.
At the forefront was a warrior with an axe.
In the rear, two archers were aiming at Hanbit with their bows drawn.
Zuwook-!
The archers were the first to pull their bowstrings and aim towards them.
Hanbit, without slowing down, instantly closed in on the warrior at the front.
Whoosh-!
At that moment, the warrior swung his axe widely.
Clang-!
Hanbit, twisting the trajectory with minimal force, slipped between the warrior's arms.
Puck-!
Kieek-!
The warrior, pierced through the center of his chest, dropped his axe with wide eyes.
"Eek!"
Flona, who was in Hanbit's arms, now had both eyes covered.
She was only grasping the situation through sound.
Zuwook-!
The two goblin archers had been aiming their bows for a while.
However, because their pierced comrade was blocking the enemy, it was difficult to release the drawn bowstring.
Swoosh-
The flustered goblins exchanged glances and tried to create an angle for each other.
At that moment, Hanbit reached out towards the side of the warrior goblin.
"Fire Burst."
Hwaak-!
A large fireball shot out and surged towards the goblins at tremendous speed.
By the time the goblins spotted the flashing flame, it was already too late.
Peobeong-!
Kieeek-!
The two goblins caught in the explosion screamed and twisted their bodies.
Hanbit, without even watching their demise, kicked off the ground again.
Chak-!
Peobeong-!
The goblins that continued to appear were swept away by his sword and magic.
Although the wind was gathering around his sword, it wasn't the power he would use now.
"Eueuu..."
Flona buried her face in his chest, holding Hanbit tightly.
Even if she was scared, she had no choice but to endure it.
-No way, he's really not blocked even once?
-Why are the goblins melting away so easily?
-He's not even getting hit lol
-Could Flona be saved?
-Isn't he already more than halfway through?
-He's over 70%.
-Him carrying Flona is crazy
The speed of his sprint and the goblins dying in an instant.
The repetition of this situation threw the viewers into confusion.
He should have been constantly blocked in the maze and engaged in a bloody battle with the growing horde of goblins.
It was a notorious section, as even the players who brought Flona out of compassion mostly failed here.
Chaak-!
Hanbit's speed, even with the girl in his arms, didn't slow down.
It was also thanks to Wind Movement that he overcame the limitations of his stamina.
'This is the last one.'
Hanbit's gaze, as he moved forward, landed on the last passage.
[Goblin Gatekeeper (Lv.28)]
[Goblin Gatekeeper (Lv.29)]
Two goblins guarding the exit.
Their size, large weapons, and thick armor alone showed that they were different from the previous ones.
However, their dull appearance itself was the key to the strategy.
Swoosh-
Hanbit hid his body against the wall and slowly moved closer.
And the moment he reached the corner nearby.
Thud-!
He kicked off the ground and closed the distance to the goblins in an instant.
Kkeuk-!
The goblins, caught off guard by the unexpected attack, faltered and took their stances.
The two gatekeepers, their reactions delayed, swung their weapons a beat late.
But that one beat made the difference between life and death.
Chaak-!
A swift sword strike before their weapons could even draw a proper trajectory.
Kkeuk-!
With blood gushing from their necks, the two goblins collapsed with a grotesque sound.
Hanbit stepped over the fallen goblins and towards the exit.
He glanced at the time displayed above.
[18:10]
'It's a bit longer than expected.'
Carrying Flona had delayed him a little more than he anticipated.
He had to eliminate all the goblins he encountered, as even a grazing blow could be fatal to her.
And now, the only remaining challenge was the boss.
-Huh?
-It took longer than expected?
-It's a good thing he took care of all the monsters.
-Failure, yay
-I was trusting you.
-1st place? Even 10th place is impossible lol
The viewers, checking the time, were convinced of his mission failure.
It was impossible to kill the boss in two minutes.
"Um... are we okay now?"
Flona, who was in his arms, asked cautiously.
"It's okay now. I'll put you down."
Hanbit put the girl, who had opened her eyes, down on the floor and looked at the large door in front of him.
Inside was the Elder Goblin.
It was the boss of this dungeon, wielding powerful area-of-effect magic.
'This should be enough.'
Hanbit checked the wind gathering on his sword.
This power, which he had continuously accumulated from the maze, was a little different from before.
Whoosh-!
Sylph, the wind spirit who knew Hanbit's intentions, was holding his wind as if compressing it.
It was helping the wind stay close to the surface of the blade.
It would have been better if it were a sword with high spirit affinity, but this was enough.
"Wait here for a moment."
"Ah, yes!" Flona, who had been looking at the maze they had passed through with wonder, turned her head and replied.
Whoosh-!
He felt the intense wind from the sword in his hand.
[19:17]
The viewers' eyes now busily darted between the screen and the time.
Rumble-
The door opened automatically with a sound as he touched it.
Immediately taking his stance, Hanbit put force into his legs.
And the moment the Elder Goblin appeared from within.
Thud-!
He surged towards the goblin with tremendous speed.
[Boss: Elder Goblin (Lv.30)]
"Hmm."
The Elder Goblin had sensed the enemy through the boundary at the entrance.
He leisurely raised his hand holding the staff.
[19:19]
"Dirty intruder, you shall suffer a painful death..."
Whoosh-!
Suddenly, his warning stopped.
The intruder had reached him in the blink of an eye.
That speed was marvelous.
But that wasn't the important thing.
[19:21]
Crack-!
The mana shield protecting the Elder Goblin.
Originally, it was a skill he would only release after covering this space with area-of-effect skills.
But for some reason, the intruder's sword had already perfectly split his shield.
[19:22]
Clang-!
"Wait...!"
The boss's startled voice was drowned out by the sound of shattering glass.
"Die."
Puck-!
The blade, enveloped in a strong wind, pierced the goblin's head.
[19:24]
