Chapter 734 – B-Class Dungeon, ? (2)
The dungeon I entered with Do Ye-hee was in the mountains during a winter blizzard.
I never would have thought that as soon as I crossed the gate on a tropical island, I would be buried in snow like this.
While I was a little amazed by the snow that was up to my knees, I heard a voice similar to Do Ye-hee’s scream coming from my right.
“It’s cold… !!”
… Of course it must be cold. I fell into this snowy mountain wearing only that thin dress.
I felt sorry for Do Ye-hee, who had her shoulders and one thigh almost exposed, so I first cast a heat-generating spell on her.
“What are you doing all of a sudden?! Ah, you’re forcing me into a dungeon where I don’t know what’s inside! Mama, if I freeze to death here, I think the Dodo Dokyung Group will leave you alone…”
“Well, it’ll be a little less cold now.”
“… Uh?”
“I know how to use fire magic. “Fever is the most basic of all basics.”
“… I see. But I can’t ignore the fact that you brought me to this unidentified dungeon without consulting me. If something goes wrong with my body…”
“That’s something you only talk about after a problem arises. First of all, it seems like you can go back and forth to the gate itself regardless of clearing the dungeon.”
“… “That’s a good thing.”
Upon hearing the news that she was not trapped in a dungeon, Do Ye-hee’s expression brightened, but she immediately shook her head as if this was not the case.
“Oh, no! Now that I think about it, it’s not a good thing! What would you have done if it was a dungeon where you couldn’t go in and come out again? Such irresponsible words…”
“It’s okay, I was thinking of using this as a means of escape at the time.”
“Yes?”
With those words, I took out a warp gate from my subspace pocket and showed it.
Do Ye-hee looked at the wide disc in my hand and blinked as if she couldn’t understand what was happening.
“It’s a warp gate. I have one too. “The gate to the other side has already been installed elsewhere.”
“Warp gate? “You carry something like that around?”
“Because you always have to prepare for emergencies. For your information, the other side leads to the Gangdong-gu branch of Eun and Jade Co., Ltd., So it wasn’t impossible to escape even in the worst situation.”
Of course, you have to go through Bell’s Dungeon in the middle to be exact.
The warp gate to Bell’s dungeon on the company side was just temporarily deactivated for now, but it was a mobile facility that could be used again at any time by speaking to Bell.
“Well, if you have such means, please tell me in advance! Ha, anyway, I was shocked because I thought they were really leading me without any plan!”
“I didn’t expect it to be that surprising. Sorry, I was a little impatient.”
“… I wish I knew. “Now that I know you didn’t do it without thinking.”
It was Do Ye-hee who forgave her surprisingly easily, so her Belle’s Dungeon Hang Gate, which she had taken out to persuade her, was stored back into her sub-space pocket.
And one more. I naturally started talking to Do Ye-hee’s attendant who had secretly followed her side.
“By the way, did you say it was Seolhwa?”
“Who? “My attendant?”
“Uh.”
“Could it be that you, like Eunbyeol, have the same grip on my attendants…” .”
“That’s not it, I was wondering if Seolhwa isn’t cold. “I asked Seolhwa in the first place, but why did you answer Yehee?”
“…”
“… You’re amazing, Seong Tae-kyung. Seong Tae-kyung is the first person to see through my disguise right away.”
With those words, the scenery next to Do Ye-hee distorted, and Seol-hwa, her attendant, appeared.
As expected, that person was the one who came in with me.
“How did you know? Seolhwa’s camouflage is probably the ability to never be detected.”
“First of all, since I was Yehee’s attendant, I couldn’t stand by and watch my master being dragged into me, and then I just noticed him by sight. “I know it’s there by presence, but the fact that I can’t see it probably means that it’s an awakening ability related to camouflage or hiding.”
Actually, I just guessed it because another heart appeared next to Do Ye-hee.
Although the heart symbol indicating the amount of points expected to be earned did not specifically have the name of the hunter in question written on it, at least it was not that difficult to determine who the opponent was by looking at the number written on it.
If that number is the same as the woman who was talking with me just now next to Do Ye-hee, there is only one answer.
“You noticed it by sight? “Are you not just some kind of animal hunter? Do you even have the ability to explore?”
“Uh. “I have it.”
“Yes?”
“Why are you surprised? “You said you were a multi-awakener.”
For your information, it wasn’t really a lie that I had navigation skills. There was an ability gained by maximizing Mina’s favorability.
Of course, the method I used to find the story was not this search ability, but I answered yes by lumping it together appropriately.
If I had to explain one thing in the first place, ‘Hunter Sexual Desire Manager’ was an awakening ability that was overwhelmingly difficult to explain.
“I already came in and found out that round trip is free, so let’s quickly conquer the dungeon first. “It will be easier to use it later if you know roughly what level it is.”
“… Now that I think about it, this dungeon is the dungeon that your guild will enter, right? “I don’t understand why I need to help you decide on a grade that says you’re good.”
“If you don’t like it, don’t. Instead, if you meet Sihee later, you’ll have something more to talk about. “Last time, I was raiding a dungeon with your sister, and when I came to my senses, I realized that at some point, she left me alone and ran away first.”
“… I beg your pardon?”
“It seems like my relationship with Sihee is recovering to some extent these days, so there’s no need to scratch and cause trouble, right?”
“Can’t you just be honest and ask for help? “Why can’t you just say it in a way that scratches people’s minds like that?”
“Huh? Why are you suddenly introducing yourself?”
“Ugh… !!”
When I asked her if she was introducing herself, Do Ye-hee glared at me and bit her lip as if she were angry.
It probably means that you, too, have a point where you feel prickly.
“So, if I had honestly asked you to help me, would you have helped me?”
“… “You haven’t said you don’t like it yet.”
“Stop doing anything you don’t want to do.”
“…”
“Then I’ll be honest with you, so please help me. “Exploring dungeons would be much easier with your help.”
“… Well, okay. “I have some spare time until this dungeon problem is resolved anyway, so I’ll accommodate you for that amount.”
… Wow, he’s actually more helpful than I thought.
I may have had a strange prejudice about Do Ye-hee for no reason. I guess it wasn’t a very good impression from the first meeting.
She’s had quite a few incidents with this woman, so it probably means that they’ve managed to build a decent relationship with her.
“I will accompany you too, Master, Seong Tae-kyung.”
And for some reason, this was the moment when a party of three people was formed, including Do Ye-hee’s entourage, who thought it would turn out like this.
⁎ ⁎ ⁎
A three-person party made up of me, Do Ye-hee, and an attendant named Seol-hwa.
The three of us stuck together and moved forward through the calf-deep snow.
With my exploration ability, I found enemies and traps around me, and the ‘soil bunker’ created by Do Ye-hee’s awakening ability moved with us and protected us from enemies coming from outside.
Perhaps because it was a snowy mountain and the soil was mixed with a lot of snow, it felt like I was in an igloo.
Meanwhile, Seolhwa was analyzing the monsters roaming around outside through the square window on the wall of the igloo.
“Snow Horned Rabbit, Class C. Yeti, B grade. White Wolf, B grade. … “If we look at the analysis so far, the dungeon in question is estimated to be Class B.”
“If it’s level B, it’s a level of difficulty that Yehee and I can conquer.”
“You can’t let down your guard just because it’s a B-class dungeon. “There are cases where non-standard monsters are boss monsters, such as the red dragon of the Blue Valley Fjord.”
“I know that. “If you think the boss monster is too strong to deal with, then of course you run away without looking back.”
“… Great. “I had no intention of risking my life to fight.”
First of all, Mr. Seolhwa’s report that I have heard so far was a fairly positive observation.
Snowy Hare, Yeti, White Wolf. Because they were all guys who could obtain profitable monster materials.
In the case of snow horned rabbits, you could get horns and leather, and from yeti and white wolves, you could get fur.
In any case, early guilds had no particular difficulty in maintaining facilities as long as there was only one profitable dungeon. At this rate, I think I’m almost certain to win.
“By the way, Seolhwa, what is your awakening ability?”
“… Ah, you mean my awakening ability.”
“If it’s a skill that’s difficult to talk about, you don’t have to talk about it. “I asked because there was a possibility that we might have to cooperate in case we had to fight.”
“No, I was thinking that I had to say this to Seong Tae-kyung anyway.”
Considering that his body briefly became transparent earlier, he was guessing that it was a stealth-type awakening ability, and as expected, Seolhwa introduced his awakening ability as ‘the ability to control shadows.’
“Many people find it difficult to understand simply the ability to manipulate shadows, so we usually introduce them under the name ‘Shadow Wizard.'”
“That’s pretty cool to hear.”
“Thank you for the compliment, Seong Tae-kyung.”
And then he immediately seemed to explain about his ‘shadow magician’ abilities.
I listened carefully to her explanation of her awakening abilities, imagining situations in which I would have to cooperate with her during her battle.
Shadow Grasp, which summons shadow vines from the shadow of an opposing monster and restrains them.
A protective veil that raises the shadow to the ground and absorbs incoming attacks into the shadow.
Other than that, he was the owner of awakening abilities that fit the description of a ‘shadow wizard’, such as night shadow injection, which strengthens weapons by injecting shadow essence, and a shadow cloak that hides his form in the shadows and makes it invisible, just like before.
“It’s both amazing and amazing. “I think Seolhwa is the first person to fight using shadows.”
“There is speculation that there were quite a few shadow casters among ninjas and assassins in the past. However, a truly competent shadow caster would naturally not reveal his identity until the end, so his abilities would not be famous.”
“… Ninja or assassin?”
“It’s just an example.”
If you look at the examples of ninjas and assassins, it seems that he was not just an attendant but Do Ye-hee’s bodyguard.
It’s not like I looked hateful for no reason and suddenly my life was in danger.
I hope that Seolhwa is not a different type of person on the outside and the inside, so for now I just continue exploring the dungeon.
