Return To Level Up

Chapter 89

It wasn’t as difficult as I thought to grab Karnan’s leg.

Once the surprise worked perfectly, the [Lightning] that was blown at the same time as the surprise made the other one stiff for a while, which had a great effect.

Hajin Kang took them to the side with their tails too, pulled out magic stones, tied them up and buried them in the ground.

Before that, I had concentrated on checking the information, but I couldn’t get more than the information I got from the tail.

After the leg, his arms met.

Karnan’s arm was holding a bow.

When he grabbed his arm, Ha-jin Kang could roughly guess where his torso was.

These guys surrounded the center of the dungeon.

It was as if the original place had been decided.

Of course, you could move around freely, and the range was quite wide, so it didn’t matter much to the activity itself.

His body was a wizard.

Unlike his arms and legs, it was much easier to deal with because he was alone.

Ha-jin Kang suddenly thought that if they had gathered together, he would have been very difficult to fight.

A guy in charge of search and reconnaissance, a guy who is a tank and a martial arts guy, and a guy who uses a bow and even a wizard.

A surprise attack won’t work, and if you’re dealing with a tank, magic and bows will fly, and sometimes swords will come in by surprise.

He was in a cold sweat at the thought of fighting such bastards.

‘By the way, what the hell is a demon called Karnan who had it all by himself?’

He was said to be a demon knight who pledged allegiance to Marbas.

Asmodian knights fought a lot even with strong Hajin.

They were so strong that every single one of them trembled.

But anyway, it wasn’t like this.

Although he had excellent swordsmanship and strong physical strength and body, he had never seen a demon knight with such a variety of abilities.

‘It must have been a high-status knight.’

He couldn’t help but think so. And since we sacrificed ourselves to maintain this dungeon, we wouldn’t have encountered it before returning.

Anyway, I collected all six of Carnan’s fragmented bodies.

Now it was time to bring these guys together and extract more detailed information.

I still don’t know if it will or not.

* * *

[The origin of the virtual dungeon]

That was the title of the information that Ha-jin Kang confirmed when he gathered all six bodies.

[The origin of the dungeon created by cultivating the power, authority, and body of the demon knight Karnan into six parts. Power, ‘projection’ was instilled by a special culture method.]

That was the first information.

As expected, the origins of this fake dungeon were these guys.

The second information was as follows.

[If the source of the virtual dungeon is completely melted, the virtual dungeon becomes a channel of information.]

Kang Ha-jin, who saw this, was only surprised.

Why did Marbas do this to him, to give and receive information?

He had no idea that he was doing this to build a telecommunication facility in Japan.

If so, he would be able to issue direct orders to the vassals of Marbas, who now possess the bracelets of obedience that are secretly on Earth.

You can report on the situation and modify your strategy or tactics in real time.

Before the return, no one cared about this dungeon. It didn’t explode anyway, and nothing came out of it.

So, obviously, Marbas’s plan would have been successful.

‘I was wondering how you communicated with Marbas and signed a contract, and it was because of this.’

Anyway, now that you know the purpose, you just need to close the dungeon.

However, he still could not figure out how to extinguish the power of projection.

When I gathered the things that were not meant to be just killing, I could see.

Although they are the source of power, killing them does not remove the power that has already taken root.

Hajin Kang was in trouble. How can he get rid of the power he has?

But no matter how much she pondered, there was no answer. Then, suddenly, a question arose about the existence of Karnan.

He actually said he was a weirdo.

He’s not a nobleman, he’s just a knight, but he has powers.

Besides, he was not at the level of an ordinary knight by how diverse the skills he had.

Some of the skills were even distributed to the pieces. In the beginning, it meant that he was very skilled.

In order to solve this question, Hajin Kang concentrated on Carnan itself and extracted information.

He didn’t go well at first. Since Karnan is also a member of Marbas, information collection was not smooth.

However, perhaps because his body was in this place, eventually cracks began to form in the wall little by little.

And soon I was able to get a glimpse of information about Karnan.

[Carnan][A knight that fits within three fingers under Marbas. The conferment of the title was scheduled, but was canceled due to betrayal. After that, in exchange for the oath of allegiance, he was shredded and returned to Marbas. At the moment of his death, he severed his military ties with Marvas himself.]

Hajin Kang found out why he was able to check Karnan’s information. This guy was a knight of Marbas, but he had cut off the relationship on his own, so technically he had nothing to do with Marbas.

‘Does this mean that we can get deeper information by using Carnan?’

And Kang Ha-jin emphasized and read the sentence several times that Karnan ended his relationship with the military.

Maybe that sentence contained the key to solving this problem.

All of the mana stones of each piece have already been drawn.

If left as it is, they will all die, and there may be no way to prevent this dungeon from turning into a communication facility.

‘Wait, then where’s the head?’

These were Karnan’s tail, legs, arms, and torso, respectively.

Most importantly, there was no head.

He said that the six pillars supporting the virtual dungeon were that, but he didn’t say that it was all about Karnan.

Kang Ha-jin’s head was taut.

He seemed to know where his head was.

* * *

Most of the people who fled Japan were Japanese nationals. And there were some Awoken who came to help from abroad.

The Awoken were able to reach their respective countries with the help of the United States.

The Awakening Department in each country that was contacted sent an employee to the United States.

It was to get the Awoken back safely.

Most of the awakened people who applied for this time in Japan were at a high level.

Awakened people with high levels and good skills from the beginning supported them.

Because the situation in Japan was quite difficult, Awakened people without skills could not even apply for it.

It was difficult to lose such an awakened person to the American candy cane, so he took a very active approach.

The Japanese had to feel a sense of relative deprivation as they watched the awakenings of other countries communicate with their own representatives.

And that sense of deprivation soon turned into anger.

It was anger against the existing Japanese government for making the situation this way.

The Japanese, united around a high-level Awakening, vowed to act as soon as they arrived in the United States.

I even made a detailed plan.

And the US agents who were on board the ship gave active support and promises of cooperation.

As I made up my mind and made a plan, I finally arrived in the United States.

The Japanese first formed a delegation.

At the same time as they arrived in the United States, they held a press conference denying the Japanese government that had escaped first, claiming that they were the real representatives of Japan.

Naturally, he insisted that the huge funds and materials the Japanese government stole in advance should also be returned.

So a long and fierce battle began.

* * *

Hajin Kang arrived at the heart of the dungeon.

In fact, there were no monsters at all from the center to a radius of 3 km, so I was able to get here without much trouble.

The fake dungeon was quite huge.

Also, the number and types of monsters that inhabited it were very large as it was large.

Hajin Kang thought that he could raise his level a lot if he moved to deal with urgent tasks right away, but later, if he caught all those monsters step by step.

No, that’s all.

Japan itself was a huge dungeon right now.

The monsters that popped out of the dungeon are scattered all over the country.

Ha-jin Kang was planning to study Japan steadily in the future.

There is a high possibility that dungeons will continue to be opened in Japan in the future.

He wouldn’t do that if Marbas could get a clear picture of the situation this way, but how would he know if there was no communication?

In Japan, dungeons will continue to explode in the future, and the number of monsters will explode.

Monsters will come out from the exploded dungeon, and the monsters that come out will also breed.

The situation in Korea has improved incomparably to before the return, so no big deal will happen for the time being.

That means the dungeon may not be enough.

Then come to Japan. This is a really good hunting ground.

Anyway, I have to level up.

With that thought in mind, Ha-jin Kang, who arrived at the center of the dungeon, first examined the surroundings closely.

There were several stone statues standing there.

The stone statue will suddenly turn into a monster and will not move or move. Because I didn’t really feel anything in this stone statue.

Most likely it wasn’t connected to the system at all.

Hajin Kang looked at the stone statues one by one.

It was a huge stone statue of about 10 meters in size, and it looked quite familiar.

“It’s Carnan.”

All were very similar to Karnan’s appearance. But his attitude was different.

Some were holding swords, others clenching their fists.

Another thing was like using magic.

Not only that, but some were reading books and some were sitting.

They were stone statues that expressed various situations and postures.

There’s no way I’d put a stone statue here for nothing. Obviously there must be something to it.

Ha-jin Kang carefully looked at the statues once again, and also looked at the whole thing from a distance.

And he discovered one of the stone statue’s secrets.

All the statues had different postures, but the direction of their gaze was the same.

So, all the stone statues were looking at one place.

Even the eyes were embodied in the stone.

The place was about 20 meters away from the stone statues.

Hajin Kang went there.

And he dug the floor where the stone statue’s gaze pointed exactly.

He did not dig much, and a fairly large stone chest came out.

It wasn’t just a box. A complex magic circle was engraved throughout.

Of course, it was connected to the system, and Ha-jin Kang was able to check the information.

[Ark of Sealing][A box that can bind and seal the brain and soul. By controlling the surface, you can control the wavelengths of your brain and soul to your liking.]

Again there was Perhaps it contains Karnan’s head.

The reason why I even sealed it must have something to do with Karnan’s termination of military service.

Once this chest was sealed, it could not be opened again.

It was a way to engrave the magic circle in a sealed state in the first place. Even the seams would disappear by the magic circle.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

In this case, there is only one way to use it.

Hajin Kang swung his palm covered with [Crushing] and struck the chest.

Zeng!

Surprisingly, an anti-elasticity came out and deflected the power of [Crushing].

That didn’t mean that [Crushing] didn’t work at all. Obviously there was damage.

“It can’t be done in one or two rooms.”

Kang Ha-jin smiled bitterly and used [Crush] again to hit the Ark of the Seal.

Zeng! Zeng! Zeng! Zeng! Zeng!

The power of [Crushing] penetrated the anti-elasticity and began to reach the chest. Then, the surface of the box was cracked, and the anti-elasticity decreased naturally.

Zeng! Zeng! Zeng!

After hitting it a few more times, the anti-elasticity disappeared and the chest broke.

Pussack!

The ark of the seal flew into dust.

And a head with wide eyes appeared in its place.

It was Karnan’s head.

Surprisingly, he was alive. Karnan was staring straight at Kang Ha-jin.

However, for a moment, Karnan’s eyes became as bright as a fire.

“human?”

Karnan’s eyes scanned Hajin Kang up and down.

“You are really human. Can you hear me?”

Hajin Kang nodded her head. The system intervenes when you talk to the existence of a completely different world.
