maintain up.’
Jin-Woo hurriedly introduced the message home windows lower back up.
He didn’t even have time to revel in the notices of his level going up four instances in a row, as his eyes were presently constant to the first actual message.
‘Oh, my god.’
Jin-Woo’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
[You have defeated your enemy.]
‘This wasn’t the boss monster??’
His taken aback gaze shifted over to the large sagged at the ground, and not using a awareness to be determined within its dull eyes.
The awesome energy that become on another realm as compared to other Giants, and the overpowering charisma that even left Jin-Woo surprised. regardless of what, this creature seemed, sounded, and smelled like a chairman, yet it became seemingly not. The system’s message really said that this aspect was a ‘ordinary’ monster.
It became then.
“Hyung-niiiim-!!”
He heard the overexcited voice of Yu Jin-Ho coming from a distance.
Jin-Woo raised his hand quick to sign the sparkly-eyed Yu Jin-Ho going for walks over right here that he should forestall right there.
“Heok!!”
It was unknown whether or not he became an excellent listener, or perhaps he turned into simply scared without difficulty, but regardless, the child iced over up right in his tracks.
in the meantime, Jin-Woo’s glare have become even greater extreme than before.
The message of [You have killed the owner of the dungeon] hadn’t appeared yet. that may simplest mean that this raid became a long way from over.
That wasn’t the most effective suspicious factor right here, either; it was impossible to perform ‘Shadow Extraction’ in this big monster, as nicely. He couldn’t see any black smoke growing up from the corpse, a telltale sign of it being a candidate for the extraction.
And, just as he suspected….
when he glared tough at the large’s corpse as though to bore a hollow thru it, a mechanical beep went off in his head.
Tti-ring.
[It’s impossible to perform Shadow Extraction on the target.]
‘What’s taking place?’
Jin-Woo’s brows furrowed deeply as the scenario started out exceeding his expectation in extra ways than one. however then, he heard the sounds of bones clattering against each different coming from someplace.
The jaw of the massive became suddenly shifting once more.
The creature’s mouth became pried open and a humanoid-form of some thing emerged from there.
‘…..!!’
Jin-Woo reflexively got into a conflict stance. Flashes of sharp light gleamed off the blades summoned into his palms. fortunately, the voice coming from the large’s mouth grew to become out to be a familiar one.
“Oh, my king…. it’s miles I, Beru.”
the former ant king managed to extricate itself and stepped out, before showing the suitable courtesy in the direction of Jin-Woo.
“….It’s best you.”
Jin-Woo decreased his vigilance.
After Beru entered the giant’s frame, his presence were given hidden by the large monster’s near-bottomless magical power and as a result, it have become momentarily impossible to distinguish him.
After confirming that it was Beru for real, Jin-Woo back his shortswords again to his storage.
Beru trudged out ahead even as covered from head to toe in the massive’s flesh and blood. It wasn’t that tough to assume how tough the former ant king struggled in the monster’s head.
Jin-Woo changed into approximately to heartily praise his underling with a grin but his expression crumpled in an immediate.
‘What the hell is up with this stink…..?’
A really disgusting odour was getting more potent as Beru got nearer. perhaps he may also scent it, his expression changed into also deeply crumpled as nicely.
He eventually stood before Jin-Woo and bowed his head in a dignified fashion.
“nicely, then…..”
Jin-Woo was about to pat his ant soldier on the shoulder as a gesture of a task well completed, however located a yellowish liquid of unidentifiable nature there and sneakily withdrew his hand.
“you probably did well, Beru.”
“….I thank thee, oh my king.”
Jin-Woo was likely incorrect whilst he idea that he heard a barely sullen tone of voice coming from the ant soldier.
anyways, what he needed to deal with changed into no longer the identity of this weird liquid on Beru’s shoulder. If this brilliant-big giant-type monster turned into no longer the ‘owner of the dungeon’, then wherein become the real owner?
simply as that concept labored its way into Jin-Woo’s mind, this passed off.
Wuuuuu….
all at once, the air all round him trembled.
‘….!!’
Sensing but some other change taking area, Jin-Woo hurriedly raised his protect up. Beru additionally sensed the threat best a beat slower and quick elevated his ordinary body length to face shield earlier than his Sovereign.
“Kiiieeehhk!!”
A effective gust of wind assaulted them proper afterwards.
‘Keuk.’
Jin-Woo’s brow creased up.
The stormy winds violent enough to rip out timber, roots and all, swept all round him, however then, they abruptly slithered off to somewhere else.
The commotion died down nearly instantly.
Beru decided that the scenario were normalised and stepped away from Jin-Woo’s front. meanwhile, the latter surveyed the environment handiest to gasp out in pure shock.
‘How should this be?!’
What all at once ‘attacked’ him simply now weren’t a few gusts of wind. No, what he mistakenly idea as typhoon winds changed into in reality the horrifyingly disgusting and bottomless magic energy the useless large possessed.
That massive quantity of magical strength clawed and swept the whole thing in the location away because it moved absolutely somewhere else.
‘What approximately Yu Jin-Ho?!’
Jin-Woo hurriedly turned to look at the back of in which Yu Jin-Ho had been. luckily, the child turned into unscathed due to Igrit defensive him.
Jin-Woo sighed in remedy.
‘Fuu.’
Now that he observed more leeway to search his region, Jin-Woo quick snapped his head in the route wherein that great magic strength had disappeared to.
‘…..’
It became deep within the Gate.
each single drop of the mystical strength the useless giant possessed become sucked into the Gate.
It became as though the Gate itself had swallowed up that magic electricity.
The black ‘barrier’ blocking the Gate had shattered a long time in the past for the duration of the dungeon ruin. The indoors of the Gate, which become the inside of the dungeon, might be seen surely from the out of doors.
Guuoooo-….
The air itself regarded to cry out softly.
Jin-Woo thought that he had skilled all varieties of trials and tribulations in his existence thus far, but even he had in no way visible nor heard of a bizarre occasion like this one earlier than.
‘some thing else is in there.’
His notion Stat become telling him as a great deal. Jin-Woo stared at the interior of the dungeon, his eyes progressively getting narrower and narrower.
some thing became anticipating him in there, the moment that he regarded its presence, the hair on the again of his neck all stood proper up. A deathly chill got here knocking and goosebumps broke out throughout his body.
Ba-thump, ba-thump, ba-thump!
as though it changed into resonating with the crying air, his coronary heart started out beating faster and faster.
“Hyung-nim….”
Yu Jin-Ho had crept up nearer and nearer until he turned into status subsequent to Jin-Woo. He too stared at the massive Gate.
this might get very dangerous. Jin-Woo looked at Yu Jin-Ho and spoke in a heavy voice.
“You live here and await me.”
“yes, hyung-nim.”
Yu Jin-Ho nodded with out elevating a fuss. His choice to follow was pretty sturdy, however at the identical time, he figured that he’d be greater of a predicament than anything else.
Jin-Woo left the kid on standby outdoor, and led his Shadow infantrymen into the mouth of the Gate, moving into the dungeon itself.
‘that is simply…..’
while entering some top-ranked dungeons, he idea that he got quite used to the idea of things being ‘huge’ by using now. however, his thoughts had to be revised the moment he entered this unique dungeon.
‘…..manner too huge.’
Jin-Woo walked within the passage that appeared so limitlessly tall and wide. It changed into as though the phrase ‘big’ have been invented just to describe this vicinity, and he continued to swallow lower back his gasps of astonishment.
He nevertheless didn’t make any noises inside the dungeon, though.
He endured to preserve this habit shaped all through the time while he changed into a lowest ranked Hunter and lacked any way to shield himself from the monsters, despite the fact that he substantially handed the tiers of ‘normal’ rank S awoke through now.
It become in no way a terrible thing to remain cautious of 1’s environment, after all.
Jin-Woo’s eyes glowed softly in the darkness.
He didn’t decrease his vigilance, not even for a moment, and persisted to enhance closer to the quit of the dungeon. The soldiers, having recovered to their ideal nation despite being concerned in any such fierce warfare earlier on, silently accompanied proper after him.
And so, just how long did they have to stroll?
Jin-Woo’s steps subsequently came to a stop.
Beru, strolling right at the back of him, raised his hand to signal the Shadow army to forestall, as properly. possibly because he become previously an ant, the species optimised for lifestyles in a massive group, he became as an alternative adept in commanding the large navy.
Chut.
The entire Shadow military came to a perfect halt. Beru scanned the squaddies once, earlier than sticking close to Jin-Woo’s again.
“Oh, my king….”
“Shh.”
Jin-Woo raised his index finger, and endured on a quick while later.
“can you pay attention it?”
Beru targeting the ambient noises for a bit bit, before nodding his head.
“….sure, i can hear it, my king.”
Beru may also hear it now.
simply over yonder changed into the cease of the dungeon. From the location wherein the dungeon’s boss should typically be, laughter came out from there. It changed into so smooth that only the beings on the stages of Jin-Woo or Beru could perceive it.
the best-natured laughter of a man persevered to resound out as if he become certainly thrilled approximately something.
Jin-Woo couldn’t help however get perplexed here.
even though the darkness of the dungeon had masked them and that they couldn’t see every different, the alternative party have to’ve felt Jin-Woo’s method via now. It’d be the same story for the Shadow navy extending a long way in the back of him, too.
‘Even then, it may still snort like that?’
Of course, Jin-Woo had already assessed the state of affairs.
top notch magical power, one so effective that it even made respiratory hard, changed into hidden within the darkness just over yonder. The enemy’s charisma that gave him a foreboding sensation without difficulty passed that of the large’s magic strength when it changed into nonetheless alive.
but, Jin-Woo himself become no pushover, both. He unleashed all of his cloaked magic energy, too.
Wuuoongg-….
Ripples unfold out to Jin-Woo’s environment.
The massive wave of magical electricity rippled out, one sturdy sufficient to knock away all the Shadow squaddies within the region if it had contained any amount of malice.
Even then….
Hahahaha-
The opponent didn’t prevent guffawing, even then.
The corners of Jin-Woo’s lips additionally arched up in reaction.
‘Aren’t you an exciting fella.’
With a smile on his face, he stepped into the boss chamber. He became greeted by an unfathomably massive and open area that should have served as the house for the high-quality-large giant monster.
Jin-Woo persevered to stroll closer to where the laughter turned into coming from without a shred of hesitation.
His Shadow squaddies observed after him and marched forward, as well.
Chut, chut, chut, chut…. (TL: SFX for steel boots on foot on a hard floor.)
The spectacle of so many monsters enveloped in black smoke advancing forward in unison changed into extra than enough to instil fear inside the hearts of each enemy looking.
but….
“Hahahaha!!”
but, the sort of issue wasn’t applicable to a certain man, whose entire frame changed into tied down with the aid of chains, with the only exception of his head.
was it him sincerely being tied down?
No.
It wasn’t as easy as that in any respect.
The black chains linked to the walls of the dungeons now not best wrapped tightly around this unknown man several times, a number of them even pierced straight thru his body, the emerging ends seemingly taking root inside his flesh.
It become this kind of wretched sight that each person watching would right away start thinking, if that changed into punishment then simply how large turned into the crime dedicated to warrant such treatment?
Jin-Woo furrowed his brows.
however, the person shaped a bright smile whilst searching at Jin-Woo as if he had run into a completely close pal.
“Oh, how humorous this is! So very humorous!! All of you detestable Ruler b*stards, take a very good look at who had come to look me first!”
Jin-Woo got here to a stop, no longer too some distance but now not too close.
the man fast carried on.
“The chains… hurry and undo those chains. I know all the plans of the Rulers. I need to let the alternative Sovereigns recognize of the tru…..”
the person’s words came to a halt, then. His eyes, filled with pleasure simplest till a second in the past, had cooled down in an immediate as if it had all been a lie.
“…”
This unknown guy quietly peered into Jin-Woo’s eyes. while that became happening, the latter additionally carefully studied the former. And it became in that moment he realised that this man’s face and that of the terrific-huge massive guarding the Gate had been precisely the equal.
‘It’s no longer…. a human.’
The ripples of magic electricity coming from it have been too one-of-a-kind from a human’s. besides, the reality that it changed into talking the language of monsters so fluently ought to handiest mean this guy become now not human, for certain.
but, why was a monster being limited interior a dungeon in this fashion?
in the resulting ten years because the first Gate opened up, all kinds of extraordinary monsters made their appearances, but this will be his first time listening to about the appearance of a monster that was all tied down and couldn’t circulate inside a dungeon.
but, if there has been one clue given away now, it became the time period this being used with such disgust – ‘Rulers’.
“…”
“…”
A quick bout of silence flowed in among them.
best after some time did the lips of this unknown guy part open.
“you are…. not the only that I understand of.”
Jin-Woo had no idea who this man mistook him for, however he wasn’t making plans to disclaim that, both. properly, he also had never visible the face of this tied-up guy earlier than. with the exception of the useless large outdoor, of direction.
Jin-Woo threw a query.
“Did the ones Rulers or some thing make you appear to be this?”
“they’re seeking to use me. as the stepping stone for laying the inspiration of the authentic warfare about to take place.”
This become the first time something like this passed off. Jin-Woo had tried to provoke conversations with sensible monsters up till now, but none of them have been capable of provide an explanation for their origins in any respect.
however then, the only proper in front of his eyes had revealed the cause for its lifestyles for the primary time ever.
It said, to put the foundation of the proper battle.
whether those phrases had been truth or lies, Jin-Woo realised that they could emerge as an important clue to unravelling the whole thing.
“just what are these things called Rulers?”
“historic enemies of the Sovereigns.”
‘Sovereigns….’
The angel statue back then started out to go berserk because it was being pushed to the nook. It cried out something approximately different Sovereigns now not taking this lying down. for the time being, despite the fact that he have been to set aside what sort of lifestyles these Sovereigns were….
He kind of realised simply where one in all them can be right now.
“in that case, the reason why those beings tied you up like that is that….”
“That’s proper.”
the man spoke back with sorrowful eyes.
“i’m also a Sovereign.”
after which, he explained further with a desperate voice.
“it’s miles pretty possibly that each the Sovereigns and Rulers are aiming for you proper now. however, you lack the energy to combat towards them. so as to stand a threat in opposition to them, you’ll be needing have an effect on, too.”
Out of all of the tough-to-fathom phrases being spewed out, Jin-Woo nevertheless managed to trap what this man wanted to mention the most.
“influence?”
the man nodded his head.
“launch me from my seal. I shall resource you.”
