Chapter 870 – 870. Hero Academy (6)
I muttered as I carefully looked around the inside of the dungeon.
“It doesn’t look like a dungeon.”
The dungeon we entered now had a very different atmosphere from the cave-type dungeons we had entered before.
Well-shaped bricks, neatly stacked walls, pathways made with such neat walls, and murals painted in each aisle…
Yes, this place is like…
“It’s like the inside of a pyramid.”
It was like a pyramid, an ancient structure.
I don’t know if it’s a real pyramid unless I see it from the outside, but that’s my current impression.
After hearing my impressions, Joo-ah Moon looked around and spilled her impressions.
“I’ve been to dungeons a few times, but this is the first time I’ve been to a place like this.”
As Moon Ju-ah commented, dungeons in the form of such elaborate structures were not common.
Most of them are in the form of irregular caves, and depending on the situation, there are short dungeons that can be completed in 30 minutes.
“I can understand why the Tower tried to attack this place while risking its pride.”
Even a 30-minute dungeon was the current state of the industry in which decent rewards could be expected if it was a newly created dungeon.
However, this large-scale dungeon was newly discovered.
It started to make sense that Yeriel didn’t seek help from other guilds even though she was being criticized by the media.
“I wonder what will come out at the end of a place like this.”
Moon Ju-a said it playfully, but I also nodded at her words.
Even in the process of breaking through the dungeon, the artifacts that came out were often priced in the tens or hundreds of billions.
However, the concept of a transaction would be impossible if it was the final reward of a dungeon like this.
‘I wonder what will come out if it comes out.’
At first, I came in with only the thought of helping Sung Soo-ah and Yeriel, but as I explored the dungeon, I began to look forward to it without realizing it.
The expectation that an item as great as [Cerberus’ Eyeball] Would come out.
But those expectations…
(Chichichik… Today’s side dish.)
The sound of the microphone suddenly came and faded away.
I answered in a trembling voice after lifting the radio in my hand.
“Jelly.”
To be honest, I was reluctant to say it with my own mouth.
If you didn’t know the meaning, you could just skip it, but I got annoyed because I figured out the meaning of the password.
However, the being on the other side of the walkie-talkie, unable to detect my irritation, asked me in a hard voice.
(Chichichik… Is everything okay over there?)
“Doesn’t exist.”
(Chichi-chik… What is it? Aren’t you Oh Tae-min? Chi-chi-chik…)
Among the guys I killed, there was a guy named Oh Tae-min.
As soon as I heard the sound of the walkie-talkie, Moon Joo-a, who was next to me, urgently told me.
“You look like a senior.”
“Ah…”
It seemed like I had made a mistake because I only found out the password through dreaming.
However, an apology here could have made the problem worse.
“You’re right.”
When I answered on the walkie-talkie, a strange voice answered from the other side.
(Chi-chi-chik… Is it because the signal isn’t good? Anyway…)
Fortunately, the guy over the walkie-talkie didn’t suspect my mistake or me, but it seemed that he had heard it wrong due to poor communication.
After barely getting over the crisis, a voice came from the walkie-talkie.
(Chichichik… It looks like we’re going to clash with the jellies only in the morning. You’re nervous too.)
“All right.”
(Always be prepared to supply supplies in case of emergency… Then… Chichichik…)
As soon as the radio went off, I started running.
As I ran, Moon Joo-ah and Lena, who were walking side by side, also started running at my pace.
Running like that, we were able to arrive at a huge hall.
And that hall… It was divided into two forks.
Jua Moon looked at me and asked.
“Which way are you going?”
“…”
Before entering the dungeon, Jua Moon had searched her entrance, so she was able to roughly know the route of the gang members who broke into it.
The problem is that the route splits in the middle.
The bigger problem here was that we didn’t know exactly who was at the destination of the two divisions.
I want to help Yeriel too, but I came here to save Seongsuah decisively.
If you make the wrong choice and arrive at Yeriel, and if a big problem happens to Sung Soo-ah…
“Wait a minute.”
I told Armonia by communication while ordering to stand by.
‘Armonia, send me Viola and Beatrice.’
[All right.]
I had no intention of summoning the two in front of Moon Ju-ah.
As if I had made up my mind, I headed towards the aisle on the left and said.
“Let’s go this way.”
“Okay!”
Moon Joo-ah reacted quickly to my decision and started running next to me.
And just in time, the voice of Armonia came through the communication.
[I will send Viola and Beatrice to the passage on the right.]
‘Yeah, from now on, pay attention to that rather than me.’
[All right.]
If it was Viola and Beatrice, there would be no need to worry.
Viola was protected by ether, and Beatrice’s fighting ability was weak, but her mobility was excellent.
More than anything, the reason I called them was because I was sure they were safe.
I haven’t seen a single monster or monster since I entered the dungeon.
And my question was also felt by Moon Ju-ah, who was running next to me.
“What? It’s a quieter dungeon than I thought. If it’s a dungeon that has just been discovered, it’s normal for monsters and beasts to pour in…”
As Moon Joo-ah said, the inside of the dungeon was too quiet for a newly discovered dungeon.
It was a dungeon that suited the quiet atmosphere, but it was so quiet that I couldn’t help but feel uneasy.
I moved for about 5 hours like that, but I couldn’t meet the monster in the end.
“That’s awful… In terms of the atmosphere, it seems like there will be a lot of guys like Mira and Lamia…”
Even if there were no monsters, it was a place where scorpions and snakes would crawl.
However, he did not see the creature itself, let alone the monster or monster.
Like…
“What can I say… It feels like the dungeon is dead.”
It seemed that the dungeon had run out of life and died.
But despite that, the demonic energy emitted strongly, so I couldn’t relax.
I asked Armonia while leading Lena and Moonjua.
‘How about Viola and Beatrice?’
I was honestly worried.
Beatrice had experienced Magy before, but Viola had never experienced Magy.
I thought I would just send it back if I had a hard time.
But…
[… I like it as if it were on a picnic.]
‘…’
Rather, they treated my concerns as fools.
Armonia explained that Viola was not affected by magic at all thanks to the ether, and rather, she liked exploring new places.
‘What about Beatrice?’
[… Beatrice also likes it, saying the atmosphere is good.]
‘A friend isn’t just a friend…’
What… I’m glad you like both of them.
Much better than struggling.
However, as he learned that they were both safe, he began to worry more and more.
“How wide is it?”
Even after running for 5 hours, she could not face Yeriel or Seongsuah, nor her gang members.
Even I had all their temperament windows open.
When they got closer to a certain distance, the temperament window automatically opened and they were able to identify their location.
Even so, the temperament window never opened.
In addition, this dungeon was like a maze, and the roads were spread out in all directions.
At least Moon Joo-ah was able to quickly find the traces of the gang members and follow them accurately.
When another crossroads appeared, Jua Moon stopped me and started to look around.
“Hang on. The traces are subtle, so I’ll have to look closely.”
Every time there was a fork in the road, Joo-a Moon identified the traces of where the organization had gone.
And, unexpectedly, there were no problems with Viola and Beatrice.
[Ether is well aware of the traces of people and leads them well.]
Thanks to the ether, the two were able to continue chasing the members without much trouble.
If it wasn’t for Moon Joo-ah, we would have been lost in a maze-like place long ago.
However, apart from Moon Ju-ah’s help, I started to feel urgent.
‘I would like to subdue them before they attack…’
If Yeriel and Seong Soo-ah fight with them, there will be damage, and the damage will lead to the mistake of Yeriel and Seong Su-ah.
Now, Yeriel and Seong Soo-ah did not come to attack the dungeon.
He had come in to rescue a colleague who had entered before.
Even the guys who get in the way have things that can make wizards in trouble.
One small damage could grow like a snowball rolling down from the top of a mountain.
I was worried, but there was also a part of me that was relieved.
‘It’s fortunate that there are no monsters.’
As with us, no monsters were found on Viola and Beatrice’s side either.
That said, there was a high possibility that Yeriel and Seongsuah’s party, who had just entered this dungeon, would not have met the monster.
In the midst of such relief, Jua Moon opened her mouth as she ran her hand over the wall.
“I went over there.”
I nodded and started running again in the direction Moon Jua indicated.
Let’s run for another hour like that…
“… Found!”
Countless temperament windows began to greet me from afar.
Munjua turned her head to look at me with a surprised look on her face as she ran.
“And… I still don’t feel popular at all. Which one?”
“It’s over there.”
“Kya… That’s really great.”
I didn’t react to Moon Ju-ah’s curious expression.
No… It was hard to react.
The reason was simple.
‘I’m already fighting!’
It was because in the distance, countless temperament spears were mixed together as if they were colliding.
