Chapter 22 Special Training College‘Damn, what is this? No matter how much a dungeon, what kind of settings do you have?’
It was supposed to fall down, but it fell with the sand, and as it came out, it suddenly jumped upwards.
It sank down as if the ceiling was the floor.
Gravity was just the opposite.
thud!
“What… what?”
Others must have felt embarrassed.
Yoon Tae-sung looked at the hole he came out of. The floor is also the floor on the other side.
The sand sucked in like a vortex spreads to the bottom.
Considering the original gravity, it could be called the ceiling.
Yoon Tae-sung looked around.
It is a very large circular space. The floor was hard but flowed similarly, and the ceiling was shaped like a pyramid, and it was shining with a magic stone embedded in the middle.
If a line connects the vertex of the pyramid and the hole at the bottom, it is located somewhere in the middle. Some manpower must be holding the Magic Stone.
‘That’s the altar. Where is the boss monster…?’
There was no boss monster to protect the Magic Stone.
If you look closely, the altar was located at the apex of the pyramid. The location is unique, so I didn’t know about it.
“Shoot the pyramid’s vertex above me!”
If the Altar is destroyed, the manpower that moves the Magic Stone will also disappear.
At Yoon Tae-seong’s words, Baek Cheol-min aimed and pulled the trigger.
Something moved quickly and deflected the bullet. It was clearly moving, but I couldn’t see it.
No matter how powerful a monster was, it wouldn’t be able to deflect bullets.
If it’s a monster that moves quickly in the air on steel…
At the two corners of the triangular base were stone statues made of bronze. But one was empty.
‘Can a gargoyle appear in the 1st rank?’
No matter how low the rank, the gargoyle can never be rank 1.
Although small in size, a gargoyle is still a gargoyle.
It is a type of golem made of bronze or brass.
Usually made in the form of a giant lion or wyvern. It’s too big and heavy to be overbearing.
Just thinking about the weight, you can tell that it is incredibly strong.
The gargoyle you see now was in the form of a hawk. They are also similar in size to each other, so compared to general gargoyles… although it may be weak.
The problem is that it flies so fast that it’s hard to follow the eye, and it’s made of bronze.
“I, that one is a hawk.”
Baek Cheol-min found the one on the ceiling.
“A Magi made of bronze.”
Taesung Yoon moved very quickly using Haste. Then a bronze hawk in one place was about to soar up quickly, but Tae-Sung Yoon slammed it down to Byeok-Yeok Island.
The capital and bronze wings collided, and the bronze was dented.
The other flew quickly and attacked Yun Tae-seong, but the hawk’s wings were very sharp.
Yoon Tae-sung stepped back.
One of the attacked birds flew through the air, but could not speed up properly, and leaned to the side.
– You ignorant bastard! What did you dare do to my beautiful work?
Suddenly the hawk shouted loudly.
It just sounded strange to say something, but Tae-Sung Yoon understood what he was saying.
‘I don’t know how the people I meet speak runes.’
Rune is not a very common language.
– What a beautiful piece of art this is, your eyes are rotten!
While provoking him, Yoon Tae-seong tried to find out where the hell he was.
He called the bronze hawk ‘my beautiful work’.
In other words, the bronze hawk did not speak, but only conveyed his own words through it as a medium.
– You dare to invade the dungeon I protect, die!
PPPIPPPIPPP…!
Suddenly, the bronze hawk with its wings crumpled began to shoot a long needle at great speed towards Yun Tae-seong. He makes his own body with a long needle and shoots it. In other words, the gargoyle itself was transformed into a long hand.
– Haste!
Yoon Tae-seong blocked the long needle with a knife while avoiding it with Heist.
Titing!
The long needles that bounced off and stuck to the floor turned into liquids and gathered to form a single shape again.
it’s a snake
He blocked the snake several times with a knife.
Then a wind of fire blew and wrapped around the snake.
Kwon Hyuk-soo was attacking the snake with a flame wind.
The snake’s surface began to melt, but it was difficult to melt bronze with a first-class flame.
The snake moved quickly to avoid the flames, but seeing it, Yoon Tae-seong struck it hard with his sword.
– cleavage island
He used a cleavage island, a technique that focuses on hitting stronger than speed, as a knife.
Quang!
The snake was smashed in half and destroyed, but the sword was also broken in half as a reaction to the impact.
Before the bronze gargoyle turned to dust and disappeared, Yoon Tae-seong quickly threw his sword.
The two bronze hawks flew and moved, but no matter how fast they moved, they could not catch the sword of the first island of Cheonma.
It was a surprise attack, so it was too late to dodge.
A blunt knife, which had been broken in half and was a meter long, pierced the wall, but pierced something before that.
Green blood flowed down the blade.
The dwarf, who looked like a human, turned to dust and disappeared before he could even show himself.
Tuk!
The bronze falcon flying towards the sword collided with the wall and fell to the floor.
Two objects arose in the place that had turned to dust. It was very rare for a boss monster to give both a skill book and an item.
[Bless (4)]
[Blessing with divine power.]
[Ring of Gargoyle]
– You can summon and use the designated Gargoyle.
I tried to read the skill book, but first I just grabbed it.
“Did anything good come out?”
Lee Hwang-jo and Park Dae-jin were the first to approach. Perhaps the reason most hunters participate in dungeon raids is because of skill books and items.
“Bless? Why can’t you learn it?”
Hwang-jo Lee snatched the skill book from Tae-seong Yoon and tried to acquire the skill, and Tae-seong Yoon said it because it was ridiculous.
“It would be perfect for you to die later. If you had acquired the skillbook in front of me, I would have crushed your head right away.”
Lee Hwang-jo’s face turned blue.
Because already… Tae-seong Yoon once killed one person by cutting the head. Even in front of Lee Hwang-jo.
“Don’t you know that the skill-tree is determined by attributes? Since this is a divine attribute, it cannot be acquired unless it is the same attribute. Since it’s a 4th rank, I can’t even learn non-attributes.”
There are principles in the skill-tree too.
“Hey, fuck! What were the conditions? It’s old, you go! I don’t take it because it’s dirty.”
He threw the skillbook at Yoon Tae-sung.
But his eyes were greedy for the ring, and he was just greedy.
“It belongs to the government.”
The squad leader came up to me and said.
“Did I never agree?”
Why are you giving this away for free?
At least you can lend it out on condition that you get it back later.
The squad leader thought about what to do, but decided to leave for once.
The dungeon disappeared and the team that had dived into the dungeon appeared in its place.
When a dungeon disappears or explodes, the energy wave of mana changes abnormally. The format is similar, but the difference is time.
If it disappears the moment it changes abnormally, it is clear, and if it continues sending abnormal signals for about a day, it explodes.
The platoon commander was very nervous when the signal sent an abnormal warning by the mana scan, but the dungeon disappeared and the team appeared.
‘Haha, I’m glad.’
Tension like a war every day. To be honest, the dungeon can explode at any time and you can engage with monsters.
number of people was identified.
The team was unharmed, and there were no two hunters.
A team and 10 hunters entered, but 2 died? It was a more dangerous mission than I thought.
chuck!
“The mission has been completed. I have something to report to you quietly.”
“Hmm… the squad rests, and you follow me.”
The platoon leader took the squad leader and moved to a quiet place. It is a small barracks and serves as a bath room. Soldiers guarding the dungeon should also have time to relax with a cup of coffee.
“The loot is skill books, items, and magic gemstones. But… the Hunter side doesn’t offer anything. It’s a bit like fighting…”
“It can’t be helped.”
Should I point the gun at him right now and tell him to drop the item? Rather than that, it is better to solve the problem through dialogue in the dungeon management department.
“Two deaths. As you can see from the video I shot, that’s a bit of a problem.”
One was killed by the worm, but the other was killed by Yoon Tae-Sung himself.
Of course, in the wartime situation, although the opponent acted as if it was a mistake, he clearly intentionally attacked Yoon Tae-seong. Even in very dangerous situations.
But will people really understand the work inside the dungeon as a wartime situation?
The six seemed to be a team, but the other two were not hunters. So, it is highly likely that this incident will be known to the public.
The squad leader reported that, and the platoon leader frowned.
Because this was a serious problem that could never be resolved through dialogue.
“How about somewhere else?”
“Your team came first. First of all, don’t say anything about this matter. I will report to the above, and the above will take care of it.”
This cannot be handled even by the platoon commander.
‘Director Park Hae-Joon is from the National Intelligence Service, so there must be flexibility, but Captain Kim Moo-Sung is a little inflexible.’
Captain Kim Moo-seong is a person who has led numerous special forces and sent troops to conflict areas.
He is very talented and has great leadership skills.
However, he was very patriotic and placed great importance on the duties of a soldier. He was very loyal to the country, and thus inflexible.
He was a real soldier, a man who worked for the country.
Because the dungeon disappeared, the platoon of the dungeon management department that manages the dungeon was disbanded.
The team and the hunter came to the central headquarters of the dungeon management department.
The dungeon management department is just starting out. The size of the staff was not large, and just the right people were in charge of various tasks.
Most of the personnel were soldiers guarding the dungeon and personnel in charge of the hunter registration.
Instead, the building of the central headquarters was quite large, as we would have to replenish the personnel in the future.
Director Park Hae-Joon.
Although younger than that time, Tae-Sung Yoon will never forget the face of Moo-Sung Kim.
Because he was the commander of the suicide squad.
‘Shit! Why is that person the deputy head of the dungeon management department?’
“Nice to meet you! Captain Kim Moo-seong, who was appointed as the deputy director of the dungeon management department.”
The other person was on a break, and only Yoon Tae-seong met two people. Of course, we’ll talk about the loot we got.
“It was hard. After all, I was an experienced person, so I finished the dungeon the fastest.”
Manager Park Hae-jun spoke first.
“There were some problems during the dungeon clearing process. First of all, items from the dungeon are owned by the government. It is an inevitable part of dungeon research.”
Captain Moo-Sung Kim said.
“I never agreed on that. For hunters, dungeon loot is very important. If the government took all of them… it would probably eliminate the need for a system to register and manage Awoken as Hunters. No one will try to attack the dungeon.”
“Instead, we pay a reward according to the mission.”
I don’t know how much as a bounty, but that’s also a tax. I wouldn’t even give it a billion dollars.
“I do not know? I don’t know if people who registered as hunters really want only a bounty.”
“If one team rejects, the other team will also reject it, so this is by no means an exception.”
Again, Captain Kim Moo-seong was a man with no flexibility whatsoever.
It is good to dedicate one’s life for the country, but the aspect of thinking of the government’s policy as an absolute principle did not match Yoon Tae-sung’s own inclination.
In fact, although Yoon Tae-seong was discharged from the special forces, he did not fit in with the military inclinations.
So I even punched Lieutenant Kim Dae.
“Instead, the government lends me about a month for research. After that, you must return it. In particular, the skill book is of no use except for the Awakened.”
But in fact, even if the government did research, there was nothing to find out.
I didn’t know the rune in the skill book itself, and it was all I could do to develop a mana core by structurally using the design of the rune in the item.
It was very likely that it was also the product of a random coincidence.
Looking at Capt. Moo-Sung Kim’s expression, it seemed unlikely that Tae-Sung Yoon would accept this proposal.
