chapter 84
33. How to beat Yun Kun-woo (1)
Meanwhile, Jeong Woon-gyeong is in command at the Aegis party.
The moment she came out of the gate, she couldn’t help but panic.
‘Damn it! I didn’t expect it to be a dungeon that was almost completely transformed into an external dungeon!’
In fact, it was natural.
Although a gate was created in the downtown area.
It was an ordinary mid-level dungeon group that could be used as an evaluation site for cadets.
It means that there are no more dangerous dungeons than B grade.
That’s why I didn’t even think of turning it into an external dungeon.
Unless it was a high-level dungeon, that phenomenon didn’t happen often.
“Even the instructors have no reaction. It seems that he knew that external dungeons would change. That, too, would be an evaluation factor.”
Song Xia said quietly.
She was right.
The area was already tightly controlled.
A number of gates were checked, and civilians were evacuated long ago.
Theia’s instructors and the upper echelons couldn’t have grasped the situation during the process.
It meant that the true dungeon evaluation began from now on.
“Oh… it’s troublesome! I mean, I used up all my holy power in the dungeon!!”
Ha Ye-eun made a frightened expression.
Like I said, I thought the evaluation would end with just clearing the dungeon.
The attack plan that Jeong Woon-kyung had drawn up was swift.
So, An Yu-min, Song Si-ah, and Ha Ye-eun.
He used that mana and stamina sparingly to attack the dungeon.
‘But it was all in vain. The boss area already didn’t even exist because of the external dungeon…’
Had I known this was going to happen, it might have been better to have another sub party member.
Since the 4-person pot was rated higher than the 5-person pot, choosing a 4-person pot has now become a negative factor.
Jung Woon-kyung glanced at An Yu-min.
An Yu-min was in a bad condition for a while after entering school.
It seemed fine now.
Perhaps, it was thanks to the improved relationship with Lee Jun-woo, who was headed for a catastrophe.
‘Well, I don’t think I’m going to have a fling again.’
Anyway, that wasn’t the point.
An Yu-min is the party leader.
When an unexpected situation occurred like now, her will was important.
Ahn Yoo-min said.
“Let’s move. You can’t lose to a party with that Yun Gun-woo.”
I was relieved at that response.
‘are you okay. It consumed mana and stamina, but it looks good.’
As always, Ha Ye-eun, who ignorantly used up her divine power, had a bad expression.
That sacred power pig with an empty brain will regain its strength if it takes a little rest while the other three are active.
‘Then Song Xia…’
Song Shia also seemed to be in good shape.
No, the performance in the dungeon today was amazing.
A spell that uses curses and blood, belonging to a very high class among spells.
He didn’t seem to feel anemia while using those high level magics.
‘What happened? Could it be that the true blood awakened?’
As much as Jung Woon-kyung is also a Yoho tribe.
He knew very well that the true blood, which is the origin of sub-species, was very special.
‘But it can’t be.’
However, I also know that female vampires with true blood are a bit unique.
Unusually, because the condition of love was attached.
If you vampirize with the true blood power activated.
You will be bound by that man for the rest of your life.
‘So I have to be more careful than choosing a marriage partner.’
It was unlikely that that cold, sociopathic Song Shia would fall in love beyond liking.
That vampire with whom no one was friendly at all.
Suddenly, I thought of Lee Jun-woo again.
I know what happened between Song Shia and Lee Junwoo.
Still, it would be an overestimate to say that I drank blood from that man.
‘That’s… for a vampire, it’s the same as having a first night with a man.’
Even if young blood can play love games.
True blood, very special blood.
And Song Shia, who has the noble status of Song Yoo-hwan’s daughter, would never act so impulsively.
Even if the succession rank is low, Jeong Woon-kyung is no different from the royal family.
I am well aware of that position.
‘It’s not like a tragic heroine in some kind of romance fantasy. It’s an absurd delusion.’
But in an instant, her face blushed.
Just imagining that vampiric moment was highly irritating.
Since she is also a sub-species, the part that receives rational stimulation is quite different from that of humans.
For a Yoho woman, a man strokes her hidden tail.
It was like spending the first night.
Although the ambitious Jeong Woon-kyung, no, Jeong So-so, would never show his tail to a man like that first.
‘I keep thinking about the wrong things… let’s focus!’
Although the area is downtown, it was like a maze with a large number of buildings and alleys in a narrow area.
“Now this is a dungeon, even in reality! Please follow my command again!”
So, do not move recklessly in this terrain.
Perhaps the gates created throughout the area and the dungeons within them were all integrated and appeared in reality as they are now.
I had to be careful.
And I had to keep the topography of this area clearly in my head.
‘The gps map doesn’t work because of the dungeon.’
Of course, I didn’t expect to change the dungeon, so I couldn’t memorize all the maps.
Still, I learned the terrain to some extent during the pre-exploration.
Unless there is a madman memorizing all the topography of the downtown area.
Jeong Woon-kyung was confident of being the first to enter the new boss area in this area.
“You can’t lose to the Yun Geon-woo party! Let’s hurry!”
So, the Aegis hurriedly attacked the area again.
In the area, there were numerous monsters that jumped out of the gate.
‘They’ve already become stronger because they’ve already completed their externalization.’
So everyone in the party had to pay more attention.
Fortunately, Aegis is in a better position.
Other high-class parties were far behind Aegis.
No one seemed to notice that the outside dungeon was changing, so he seemed to lack a lot of stamina.
Not to mention the classes below it, of course.
It wouldn’t be strange if most of them didn’t find the boss area and were retired like this.
‘At this rate, our Aegis will have a much better advantage!’
But when you enter the new boss area.
An unexpected party had arrived there first.
It was Lee Jun-woo’s party.
And Yun Gun-woo too.
***
About an hour had passed since I came out of the gate.
The cadets seemed quite panicked.
It wasn’t surprising.
“Outside dungeons… Maybe because of the realization, monsters and topographical maps seem to have risen a lot. There are many retired parties.”
Lim Jaeho said.
As he said, the party members passed the retired high class cadets.
“They are stupid. You don’t even know the terrain around you, and you just try to move so fast. They are sick.”
After saying that, Jeong Si-woo glanced at me.
“The person who memorized the topography of the area perfectly… unless there is a party member with a very good memory and thorough preparation.”
It was a well-intentioned compliment.
Like Siwoo Jung said.
When Xia Song and I came here a few days ago, I memorized all the terrain.
Normally, it would have been a waste of time and useless.
Through the original story, I knew everything that was going to happen here.
‘Because external dungeons also happened in the original work.’
That’s why Theia’s board of directors designated this place as the evaluation center.
In dungeons attacked by high-ranking hunters or heroes, external dungeons and their actualization occur very frequently.
Due to the hellish dungeon created in reality, it is also common for the battlefield to become fixed.
Already in Korea, there were quite a few restricted areas that became dungeons and became uninhabitable.
‘That’s why the ability to cope with an unexpected situation is the main evaluation criterion.’
In such a situation, of course, it is advantageous to know the topography of the area completely.
Where gates are easy to build.
Where the gate already existed.
Even if you properly understand that place, you can drastically reduce the consumption of your physical strength in confrontations with monsters.
‘Of course, memorizing all of the topography had to be premised.’
Basically, the gps map is disabled in dungeonized areas.
Today was a midterm exam, so the equipment I could bring was limited, so I couldn’t take pictures of the surrounding terrain in advance.
It was annoying though.
Thanks to me memorizing the terrain perfectly, the party was heading towards the boss area of Hyeonikdae downtown very quickly.
It will be highly evaluated just for not retiring until now.
However, my goal is to achieve results that exceed even Aegis and Yun Gun-woo’s party.
So, it was time for a real evaluation.
“The unpleasant smell is spreading. If my senses aren’t strange, the boss area seems to be around here.”
At Jaeho Lim’s words, I cheered inwardly.
‘As expected, having a party with Lim Jae-ho was the answer.’
The five senses of werewolves are different from those of humans.
In particular, in a battle against monsters, humans can never follow that keen sense.
Through prior information, he led the party members to a certain extent.
In addition, Lim Jae-ho will guide the party to the exact boss area.
There was no need to hesitate now.
“Let’s enter the boss area as it is.”
Everyone in the party nodded at my words.
Aegis hadn’t even arrived here yet.
Another competitor I care about is Yun Gun-woo.
Kwajijijijijik-
At that moment, I saw a huge lightning strike from beyond.
I expected it to some extent.
It seemed that Yun Kun-woo was also quickly approaching the boss area.
‘He wouldn’t have known that there would be an external dungeon conversion…’
So, it meant that he was breaking through this area with simple force alone, even when his physical strength was considerably consumed.
In the meantime, it means that there is even intelligence to approach the boss area.
“Let’s catch the boss first before the other hinders come!”
Jung Si-woo also said urgently.
“Be careful from now on! In the boss area, all resistances are further reduced!”
I shouted that to my party and entered the boss area.
And when only 5 minutes had passed.
Yun Kun-woo caught up with the group.
