Yi Ju-Hui become shaking her head at him. It seemed like she became deeply concerned.
really, Jin-Woo changed into worried inwardly as properly. Now commonly, he might never try to take on any unnecessary threat. not simplest did he lack the capabilities to do so, however he turned into also no longer courageous enough, too.
however, Jin-Woo had a more youthful sister who turned into about to become a university pupil within the coming months.
‘I’ve no cash saved up….’
presently, Jin-Woo turned into twenty-4 years antique.
He turned into at an age wherein he need to be concentrating on his instructional hobbies, but he gave up on that dream because, properly, he had no money. He certain as hell didn’t want his little sister to go through the identical sacrifice, the same pain as he did.
right now, every cent turned into valuable to him.
It wasn’t simplest Mister Park who needed a large score these days.
Jin-Woo raised his hand up high.
“I vote for going ahead.”
It was then, he heard a gentle sigh of resignation coming from his side.
element 2: The twin Dungeon
The passageway went on and on for all time.
In front, Mister song and different strong Hunters had taken the lead. tune had summoned a small flame on pinnacle of his palm to illuminate the way ahead.
Mister Kim requested him as he walked alongside music.
“We’ve walked surely far, haven’t we? Shouldn’t we recollect the time we want to break out from here as properly?”
“How long have we been taking walks?”
Kim looked at his wristwatch.
“around…. 40 minutes.”
“A Gate shuts down completely one hour after the boss is killed, so we’ve a window of twenty minutes left or so.”
“If we can’t see the boss in the subsequent twenty minutes, I recommend that we must simply surrender.”
“I guess so.”
tune nodded his head for some time, earlier than pointing to his back together with his thumb.
“Mister Kim? It’s darkish out in front, so why don’t you function yourself at the back of me?”
Kim stared at song’s flames for a 2nd or , before he wordlessly pulled out his smartphone and switched on the display.
and then, the passageway got illuminated instead brightly.
“…”
track alternated his gaze among his flame and the cellphone, before he too wordlessly commenced searching for his very own cellphone.
***
The very returned of the group became the spot reserved for Seong Jin-Woo, who was injured pretty badly no longer too lengthy in the past, and Yi Ju-Hui, who didn’t own any combat skills in any respect.
Jin-Woo scratched the lower back of his neck.
“Pardon me, I… I’m without a doubt sorry.”
“approximately what?”
“about, you know, dragging you right here towards your needs.”
“I’m fine with it, so that you don’t want to mind me.”
Jin-Woo cautiously studied Ju-Hui’s expression. She in reality did now not look first-class in any respect.
Jin-Woo tilted his head this manner and that while looking to read her mood higher, before he requested her once more, even extra cautious than before.
“Are you… certainly first-class?”
That precipitated Ju-Hui to shift her gaze closer to him.
“Of direction I’m no longer. Are you of a sane mind?! if you had been stabbed more than one inches higher, you’d have a hollow on your coronary heart by way of now! And, what approximately the ones injuries on your legs and arms? I worked so hard to heal you somehow, yet you wish to throw yourself into yet another dungeon?? Plus, you don’t even understand wherein we’re going, too!”
She spoke so quick that Jin-Woo felt like his thoughts changed into getting numb from hearing her.
however, she become right about the whole thing.
If it weren’t for the presence of the super Healer ranked B, Yi Ju-Hui, Jin-Woo wouldn’t have been capable of carry on living unaffected, by no means mind operating as a Hunter. It turned into a small marvel why such high ranked and tough-to-find Healers had been valued so significantly within the halls of the association.
‘Wait, now that I reflect onconsideration on it, I owe omit Ju-Hui lots, don’t I?’
Ju-Hui become a Healer-kind Hunter, a rarest of the uncommon breeds.
no longer simplest that, she was a genius ranked at ‘B’ as nicely.
The association continually asked her to heal the injured Hunters whenever a Gate opened up. And on every occasion Jin-Woo participated in a raid, he’d nearly usually come to be sitting down next to her.
“Are you in ache? Please maintain on for a little while longer.”
“Haven’t I seen you before….? by way of any risk, are you the character from the remaining time?”
“You’re injured once more?”
“It’s like, we’re walking into every other quite regularly these days, isn’t it?”
“You said that your name is Mister Jin-Woo? well, that… Is it going to be alright?”
“maybe, uhm, this lifestyles of a Hunter doesn’t really fit you….”
“….You’re here again.”
“show me your arm. No, now not that one. Use bandages on that arm. I supposed the opposite one with the bone fracture.”
at the moment, it was manner past the point of Jin-Woo feeling thankful for everything she had achieved, and firmly into the territory of him being apologetic for inconveniencing her.
“…”
when Jin-Woo looked dispirited, Ju-Hui additionally felt a chunk bad approximately scolding him just now and her mind-set softened up extensively.
“You’re genuinely sorry?”
“yes, i am.”
Ju-Hui fell into a deep contemplation for a piece, before she commenced watching at him with the corner of her eyes and her lips slowly arched up.
“if you’re absolutely sorry, then… how about you buy me dinner sometime?”
Now that become a completely sudden provide.
Jin-Woo looked at her with an expression of marvel and observed a teasing smile etched on her face like a teenage girl.
‘A teen girl, huh…..’
The fact was, Ju-Hui became nonetheless a younger girl who had barely entered her 1920s.
Didn’t she say that she’d be twenty-one subsequent yr?
If her lengthy hair become changed with something shorter, and her cutting-edge attire become swapped out for a school uniform, she’d absolutely look like excessive school senior.
His wandering mind pictured the photo of Ju-Hui in a faculty uniform and his face reddened up truly.
while Jin-Woo hesitated with his answer, Ju-Hui’s cheeks started out puffing up like a balloon.
“What the… You don’t want to shop for me dinner?”
It came about, proper then.
abruptly, it have become pretty demanding out in the front.
“We discovered it!!”
“It’s the boss chamber!”
Jin-Woo and Ju-Hui’s gazes routinely shifted to the the front.
and that they noticed a huge stone door blocking off the passage.
Hunters immediately surrounded this door.
“what’s this? Why is there a door on the give up of the cavern?”
“Have we ever encountered a boss chamber with a door before?”
“this is absolutely the first time, I’m certain of it.”
“This… Doesn’t this experience strangely dangerous?”
Hunters started out to explicit their doubts and fears one at the time.
given that their personal lives had been on the road here, they had to be cautious and meticulous.
but, if one were to end up too cautious, one could turn out to be failing to comprehend the heaven-sent opportunity in the first place. Mister song figured this became one such case.
“Are you all planning to return empty-surpassed after coming this a ways?”
music positioned his arms at the door.
“If that’s what you want, knock yourselves out. I’m pushing beforehand, despite the fact that it method I’ll be going by myself.”
tune turned into a rank C Hunter with ten years of experience.
If it weren’t for his age, which become over sixty, he’d be making a killing in a massive Guild by way of now thanks to his high-quality competencies.
And while a Hunter like that voiced his opinion with such self assurance, others commenced to sense much less hectic than earlier than.
“Wait a minute.”
a couple of Hunters commenced recalling rumours of twin dungeons.
“I heard that there are wonderful treasures hidden within twin dungeons.”
“Yeah, I heard that a positive small to medium Guild determined a twin dungeon and grew into a huge Guild nearly overnight.”
“Monsters inside a dungeon usually own roughly the same ranks no matter in which they may be positioned, so the hunt itself have to now not be too tough…”
What if there had been great treasures hidden with the dual dungeon just as the rumours stated, and the monsters beyond this door were approximately the same issue as the rank D, E creatures they fought until now?
‘i can’t allow that old guy monopolise all the treasure.’
‘No freaking manner.’
‘Postnatal care, the faculty charge for the primary born youngster, and permit’s no longer forget, this month’s lease is nearly due, too….’
The opinions of the Hunters have been now on the equal web page.
Jin-Woo, too, steeled himself.
‘i’m able to’t go back domestic with just a unmarried rank E magic crystal. At a naked minimum, I gotta kill a rank D, no, one greater rank E monster!!’
It didn’t even should be a monster, too.
‘If it’s treasure as an alternative….’
Treasures or rare loot located in a dungeon could generally be divided similarly amongst all of the individuals in a raid. It become pretty a specific manner of sharing the rewards in which one may want to best take ownership of magic crystals one procured by way of themselves.
‘If we score massive these days, then matters may enhance at home for a while.’
Jin-Woo nervously swallowed down his saliva.
Ju-Hui noticed his decided expression and asked him.
“Is that how the expression of someone who’s a Hunter as a hobby looks like?”
Jin-Woo shrugged his shoulders.
“Who’d guess their lives of their predominant line of profession nowadays? except it’s a hobby, glaringly.”
“…..Eh?”
just as a dumbfounded expression fashioned on Ju-Hui’s face, song pushed the dungeon’s door and it creaked open.
There ought to’ve been some type of mechanism hooked up at the heavy-looking door, since the physical electricity of a sixty-12 months-antique man changed into enough to effortlessly open it.
Slam!
Now that the door was huge open, the huge open indoors found out itself. Hunters hurriedly rushed in.
“permit’s go in as well.”
Jin-Woo feared that he’d fall in the back of, so he grasped Ju-Hui’s hand and took the lead.
“Ah…..”
Ju-Hui’s face reddened barely as she observed after him.
***
As quickly as Hunters sat foot inside, flames erupted at the numerous torches packed tightly at the walls all at the same time. thanks to that, the interior brightened up significantly.
“What’s the heck? The lights came on through themselves?”
“First time seeing a dungeon like this one.”
“something’s…. distinct approximately this place.”
Hunters carefully studied their surroundings. the general environment of the location become just like that of an ancient temple.
now not simplest that, an vintage and truly decrepit temple, some thing that is probably buried and hidden beneath the floor; moss and weed will be visible sporadically at the floor, walls and the ceiling.
several Hunters reduced in size back and shuddered barely.
“it’s a bit creepy in here, isn’t it?”
“Doesn’t it sense like we’re being watched by way of a person?”
Leaving behind the scared Hunters, the three, 4 strongest of the organization went in deeper.
“Tsk! Don’t say some thing that would jinx us, will ya?”
“let’s quit this speedy and pass domestic.”
The interior was nonsensically big. The chamber became shaped like a massive dome. It turned into as large as numerous Olympic stadiums, the one observed in Seoul, have been prepare – no, perhaps it turned into even larger than that.
but, one couldn’t help but feel that it turned into still inadequate.
The cause for that was as an alternative apparent.
“That…. that thing over there….”
“N-no freaking way that factor’s the boss, right?”
inside the deepest part of the dome, something so common sense-defyingly humongous sat on a throne just as massive as itself. It changed into none other than a massive stone statue of a god!
“Oh, my god….”
“Wow.”
shocked gasps leaked out from the Hunters.
the primary picture stoning up in Jin-Woo’s head become of the Statue of Liberty in ny. If that statue sat down on a chair, wouldn’t it’s as huge as that statue of the unknown god?
well, Liberty became a girl, even as the one sitting on the throne became a dude, though.
‘No, grasp on. maybe it’s even bigger than that…’
Hunters started nervously swallowing their saliva near the foot of the god statue. The taut and heavy apprehension and tension were clean to see on their faces as they concerned about this statue being the dungeon’s boss.
‘…….’
but, the statue did not budge an inch.
What a lucky factor that turned into.
“Whew….”
Even tune spat out a sigh of comfort.
“k, all people. unfold out.”
Now that they discovered a few leeway, Hunters break up amongst themselves and began searching around the place.
“I don’t suppose there’s a single monster in right here.”
“you believe you studied so, too?”
“never thoughts a monster, i will’t even see a unmarried worm, too.”
The chamber of the stone god statue might have been large, yet its actual inner shape turned into at the less complicated side. on the partitions, endless torches might be found there. And in front of those walls, extra stone statues, barely taller than a person, stood tall and unmoving. There have been plenty of them here as nicely, determined at a positive distance from one another.
“they are all as an alternative stunning, aren’t they?”
“It’s like, they’re works of artwork, no?”
objects held by every of the stone statues were various and unique.
some held weapons, there was one with a book, some carried musical contraptions, and even torches.
“It’s as though….”
“they are like statues of a holy temple or some thing.”
tune completed what Kim desired to say.
“Mm?”
Then, tune determined something under his toes.
“This… Isn’t this a magic formation?”
He observed a magic formation that he had never visible earlier than placed in the middle of this temple.
It become then.
“Excuse me, Mister music? Ahjussi, something’s written right here. Can you come over right here and take a glance?”
one of the Hunters discovered a statue that was exceptional from others and called out to tune.
song stopped studying the magic formation and got up from the floor. other Hunters all amassed across the statue track become headed off to.
handiest this statue featured a couple of wings and carried a stone slate. What the Hunters targeted on was the letters carved into this slate. song took a sweeping observe the slate and muttered to nobody specifically.
“It’s Rune alphabet.”
The Rune ‘alphabet’.
words that couldn’t be discovered anywhere on the planet, and discovered only inside dungeons; simplest the Hunters who had ‘woke up’ the magic-related professions may want to decipher them.
“The legal guidelines of the Karutenon temple.”
music examine the very first verse.
With a deeply frightened face, Jin-Woo listened to the contents of the slate, as study out with the aid of Mister tune.
however, a person all of sudden tugged at his arm.
while he seemed back, he spotted Ju-Hui and her deathly-light complexion.
