– Volume 4 Episode 18

Jung Daesik hastily returned entropy.

And he tried to run the upgraded observations to level 2 in place.

“observation.”

Woo woo-.

As he felt that a little magical power was being consumed, information about the monster he wanted to examine appeared in the air.

The monster’s name is Cyclopes.

It was a super-large species of reptile type, a fixed type monster, with a purple pattern wearing a crown.

Perhaps it means a boss mob that produces purple stones.

‘Indeed, the information has become more concrete than before!’

It didn’t seem like it would be easy to kill him because it was filled with a huge amount of life force.

However, the health value, which usually changes from green to red, was displayed in a strange blue color.

‘What the hell do you mean?’

Jung Daesik, who was looking at it puzzledly, came to a realization.

‘Ah! okay. Blue means activity is stopped! Maybe when I start moving again, the health value will be displayed in my own color. Let’s see, then, where is his weakness…’

Because the size of the Cyclopes was so huge, it was not easy to recognize the weak points.

At least it seemed certain that there was no heart in this area.

‘I think we have to move further.’

Jung Daesik went back to his crew and said:

“The heart of the monster is not detected in this area. I think we need to go deep into the dungeon.”

Kim Si-on nodded his head.

“Probably so. You must move to the center of the dungeon to find the heart.”

Going into the center of the dungeon was like going to a more dangerous place.

However, the crew began to move silently, following her hand gestures.

* * *

Dig it!

Padded!

Horn bats were running wild all over the place.

The crew were prepared with Jung Daesik’s warning before the horde appeared, so they responded calmly and fought even when the swarm of horn bats attacked.

“Nine Tails!”

Curry!

Kim Si-on’s black scallops were split into nine strands as if alive and scratched the air, and the magical energy that Mirae Heo sent into the air neutralized the soul bats and dropped them to the ground.

“Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!”

The cry of Sogangdu, which has been transformed into three stages, vibrated the air.

The soul bats that caused chaos staggered and scattered as if drunk, and Jung Daesik exploded them like water balloons with an invincible force.

Take it! Puck puck! Cheeky!

I thought that the offensive of the swarm of Horn Bats, which was tearing up with a strange sound, seemed to stop, then several larger bats flew in from the other side.

The momentum of those two-horned bats seemed unusual.

Jung Daesik sprinted his feet first before the gnomes descended to the ground.

“Ki Cheol-min, let’s borrow some back!”

He ran at an amazing speed using his swift skill, trampled on the back of Ki Cheol-min, who was in the midst of a fight, and jumped into the air.

It was a light movement, as if flying a kite.

“Wow!”

As Mi-rae Heo exclaimed, forgetting the battle situation, Jung Daesik turned over in mid-air.

Then he fell down and grabbed the wings of the giant bats that were flying towards their ground mates.

“Jjijijik!”

The wings of the bats were torn apart, unable to bear the weight of Jung Daesik, who suddenly became heavy.

Jung Daesik lightened his body once more, rolling his feet in the air once more.

In that way he again grabbed the automatic rifle with his back to the floor and his chest pointed towards the sky and fired a flaming round.

Whoops!

The flames that erupted ignited all the giant bats.

The bats, which had turned into charcoal soot in an instant, were ashes by the time they rolled on the ground.

Jung Daesik slammed the ashes and sat down, shouting loudly.

“Get down!”

As the crew fell on his face, clasping his head in fright, Jung Daesik pressed the red button with reinforcements on himself, infused energy into his automatic rifle, and fired at him.

Quarrrrrr!

As if a red tongue was fluttering, flames shot out into the air, making a big burp.

There, bent or burnt bats screamed and scattered in all directions.

Fuwaak!

As the horn bats dispersed and disappeared, the crew sighed and got up.

Sogangdu, whose hair was slightly burnt, grumbled and said.

“I’m going to become bald like this. Do you know how funny it can be when you transform into a bald person?”

Jung Daesik grinned.

“I’d love to see it.”

The crew had the energy to joke, but they showed signs of exhaustion.

As they entered the depths of the dungeon, they encountered hornbats, kelpies, lizardmen, and drakes several times.

We tried to avoid fighting as much as possible, but there are situations where we have to fight unavoidably.

It was a swamp all around, so it was not appropriate to hide.

Fortunately, thanks to the battle taking place on land, the Cyclopes hidden in the swamp has been quiet until now.

Had he bled in the swamp like in the first fight, the Cyclopes would have woken up again.

Kim Si-on approached Jung Daesik and asked a question.

“Isn’t the heart still undetectable?”

Jung Daesik nodded her head, and she said if so, get out of the place where the battle was taking place and get some rest.

But the crew didn’t have much time.

According to Jung Daesik’s observations, the vitality of Cyclopes, which had been quiet in blue, gradually took on a green light.

When it turns completely green, it will probably start hunting again.

At that time, if he found out that he was approaching the heart, he would face active resistance.

‘Before that, I must find the heart.’

Jung Daesik sat down, choosing her dry spot with a worried expression.

She then quenched her hunger by bringing out emergency food.

At that moment, Ki Chul-min came to the side and handed him water.

He asked, stroking his neck with it.

“Ah, did you step on my back?”

“Oh, I’m in a hurry. I’m sorry.”

“No, I don’t need to apologize. Because I didn’t feel anything. It was as light as a feather, right?”

Ki Chul-min’s expression was sharp as he said that.

“Your movements at that time were not that of a normal person. It’s very different from the way you fought before. No, you didn’t move that way until you entered this dungeon.”

Jung Daesik was stingy.

He pretended not to know, took off her shichimi and drank only the water.

He had acquired a floating body the other day, but he was not used to it.

It was only today that he nearly drowned, so he realized the advantages of a floating body and was able to apply it to battle.

Ki Chul-min continued to speak.

“I don’t know what you’re using, but you’re getting stronger at an amazing rate. I wouldn’t have believed it if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes.”

Jung Daesik shrugged his shoulders.

“I don’t learn fast.”

Ki Chul-min laughed bitterly, asking if he was calling that an excuse.

“If it were you, you might really be an all-in-one.”

It was not difficult to guess what Ki Cheol-min’s true intentions were, who muttered to himself.

Perhaps he thinks it’s unfair.

He only wanted to earn money rather than earnestly wishing to be strong.

‘Maybe it was the same with Choi Hee.’

Choi Hee, who is still strong but wants to be stronger than now, also seemed dissatisfied that Jung Daesik, not himself, had all-in-one potential.

Knowing that his own goal was nothing more than to get rich, he might be upset and angry.

‘I’m not getting stronger for free either. It means you’re getting stronger by paying a huge amount every time.’

Unless it’s Democritus’ secret, Jung Daesik clicked inwardly.

No, it was pointless to confide in his ingenious abilities.

It was meaningful to be able to share that ability with others.’I’d rather get money and share my abilities. It’s something I’d welcome with both arms raised.’

Hearing Ki Chul-min’s envious remarks, Jung Daesik for the first time felt dissatisfied with his talent for other parts, rather than a high amount.

If you can sell your skills to other people for money, then a sister is good and a mother-in-law is good.

Jung Daesik said with a dry mouth that he would never have to go through such hardships while walking around the hunting grounds himself.

‘Anyway, thanks to the acquisition of new skills such as floating body, invincibility, stealth and disturbance, combat has become easier. Should I say it’s colorful? I feel like I’m getting stronger.’

It was not only Ki Chul-min but Jung Daesik himself that his combat ability was rising in real time.

In the past, his pattern was so simple that he simply used an automatic rifle to attack from a distance, and attacked from a close range using an Adamant knuckle and a powerful fist.

But now, they were making surprise attacks by stealth, making simultaneous attacks with invincibility by adding confusion with disturbance, and weaponizing their whole body by using steel and floating bodies appropriately.

Whenever a monster appeared, he almost fought alone, but his magic consumption was not that great.

Unlike when fighting ignorantly pouring out magical power with reinforcement, the efficiency improved by mixing various skills.

‘If this is the case, we can fight as much as we want.’

Jung Daesik clenched and opened his fists in his strange confidence.

Then, after a short break, with the walking crew, he used observations to track the Cyclopes’ dynamics.

‘Looking at the speed at which the color changes… about an hour. That is enough to awaken the Cyclopes.’

That’s why the monster’s attack was stopped with the last horn bat.

Before the gnome’s activity, the small dwarfs hold their breath in order not to be eaten.

‘Once the Cyclopes moves once, monsters will swarm. Even if you do not receive resistance from the Cyclopes, there is a high possibility that you will be in danger from monster attacks. Whether it’s killed or cooked, we have to see the match within an hour. Where the hell is the heart…?’

Jung Daesik looked at Kim Si-on in impatience and said:

“I can’t help it. In about an hour or so, the Cyclopes will be active. After that, there will be a series of monsters attacking and there will be an exhausting fight. Before that, I need to find the heart. ……”

Then Kim Si-on asked.

“Cyclopes?”

“Oh, yes.”

” Jung Daesik, I don’t know how you find the heart of this Cyclopes, but even with my sensory magnification, I can’t find a part that can be called a heart. We’ve already entered the depths of the dungeon, and we went further It can be difficult to get back to.”

“Then… how…”

“Stop looking for a heart.”

The crew looked at Kim Si-on with surprised eyes, as if they were going to come all the way here and give up.

But she went on to say.

“It lures him to crawl with a heart.”

“Ah!”

Seeing her enlightened Jung Daesik, Kim Si-on nodded her head.

“This monster is too large, fixed, and dangerous, so I was obsessed with the preconceived notion that I had to find the heart, the weak point, first. But in hunting, there is only one thing. You just have to catch it and kill it. If the Cyclopes is right in front of you, Jung Daesik, you will be able to find the heart easily. Then we will use all our strength to attack our weaknesses and kill them.”

Again, Ki Chul-min was cold in judgment.

Hearing Kim Si-on’s words, he cut it off.

“In a nutshell, isn’t it about fighting him head-to-head?”

Kim Si-on smiled boldly.

“Yes.”
