‘The exoskeleton looks quite difficult…. Can my dagger even harm it?’
pretty glaringly, a dagger would have a shorter attain than a metal longsword Jin-Woo used earlier than. So, if he desired to cause a deep wound, he needed to beef up his assaults.
Jin-Woo held the dagger in the reverse grip. He figured that it’d be less difficult to hurt the monster by conserving the blade in this style.
“Keuruk.”
in the end, the spider stood earlier than Jin-Woo. Then, it raised its the front legs up and bent them at an perspective.
‘what is it seeking to do?’
His interest lasted best for a quick second – Jin-Woo’s eyes shot open huge subsequent.
SLAM!!
If he didn’t instinctively tilt his body out of the way, the spider’s legs would’ve penetrated his chest simply now. The spider’s legs stabbed into the ground in the back of him earlier than rising up within the air, its joints folding back up. And from the ends of its legs, portions of the rocky ground fell.
Jin-Woo sneaked a look in the back of him.
The stone ground now had a pretty full-size hollow in it.
‘If I got hit by that, it wouldn’t have ended with me feeling a piece of ache in my chest, huh.’
Jin-Woo’s glare sharpened even more. Now changed into the time he needed to pay attention even harder.
‘It’s coming!’
sleek!
The spider’s legs that to begin with resembled bullets being fired should now be captured in his eyes.
Left.
He ducked his head decrease to stay away from the spider’s left front leg.
right.
He tilted his frame again and allow the spider’s proper leg brush beyond him, before he took a step closer.
proper.
He avoided the spider’s leg that took purpose at his head yet again, and took two steps ahead this time.
Left, right, right, left, right, proper, proper, left, left.
Slam! boom! Kwahng! Kaboom! Slam! boom! Kwahng! Kaboom!
The spider’s legs stabbed and destroyed the ground so loudly that his ears actually felt numb from the ache.
Jin-Woo kept away from the spider’s assaults one by one and got closer and in the direction of the monster.
in the meantime, Yu Jin-Ho couldn’t pretty consider his very own eyes.
“Wha-what the hell is up with this man?!”
even though he turned into watching from afar, the ones assaults had been so ferocious that every one the hair on the returned of his head turned into standing up.
however, that guy was evading them all even as status proper in the front of the monster, now not to say he become truely getting closer too.
considering the fact that green and calm movement, Yu Jin-Woo felt a chill run down his backside.
“And he’s alleged to be an E rank?!”
there was no freaking way.
If it become him status there and no longer Seong Jin-Woo, then he’d be torn right into a rag by now. He didn’t have any self assurance in any way to keep away from the ones assaults even once.
however, Jin-Woo changed into evading them with out creating a single mistake.
An E rank doing some thing that a D rank Hunter consisting of himself couldn’t even dream of doing?
There should only be one reason behind this.
‘……he’s a faux registrant!!’
Yu Jin-Ho’s expression hardened.
Out of these relatively talented Hunters, there had been a few who could freely manage his or her magical energy. if they felt adore it, they may effortlessly faux the consequences and get a decrease ranking.
Hunters who got assigned lower ranks than what they must’ve were given within the first region virtually by means of hiding a element in their magic electricity – such human beings had been labelled as ‘faux registrants’.
And possibly extra alarmingly, most of these fake registrants carried round alternatively sinister motives for doing so.
‘along with, that serial killer whose hobby became to go into low ranked dungeons and murder all of the different lower ranked Hunters….’
As simplest people who were gift knew what occurred interior a dungeon, there was no better area to devote crimes than the arena behind the Gates.
Yu Jin-Ho nervously swallowed his saliva. suddenly, Jin-Woo seemed a long way scarier than the spider.
‘And just why did I should insist on coming to this vicinity….?’
Yu Jin-Ho felt like he’d get away in sobs at any moment now.
graceful! graceful! sleek!
in the meantime, the spider’s assaults poured down without a damage.
Jin-Woo dodged all of those attacks and grew confident of his victory. Having decreased the space between them little by little, the pinnacle of the spider changed into nearly within his reach now.
The assault sample of the spider turned into as an alternative easy so he could get close to it pretty without difficulty.
‘For now, I’ll purpose for its eyes.’
It turned into the basics of all primary rules to assault the monster’s susceptible factors. So, he determined to attack the eyes of the spider, which gave the impression to be the weakest factor in its defences.
‘As soon as I stab my dagger in the ones eyes….!’
simply as Jin-Woo made up his thoughts….
He all of sudden sensed that the spider’s assaults had bogged down for a few purpose.
sleek! swish!
was it because his eyes had adjusted completely to the speed of its assaults?
boom!! Slam!!
No, that wasn’t it.
His eyes may’ve been misled, but his listening to could not be fooled. The loud noises coming from the exploding floor came to him a beat slower than earlier than, due to the fact a few seconds ago.
Jin-Woo changed into already quite assured of his instead incredible feel of listening to so he ought to feel this diffused alternate.
It changed into then, a sure ominous premonition flickered past in his mind.
whilst he took a more in-depth appearance, the muscles across the area of the spider’s mouth had been trembling pretty imperceptibly.
‘Why is it seeking to open its mouth now?’
Jin-Woo had been on the brink of bounce up 3 metres and attain the pinnacle of the spider, but he sensed some thing ominous turned into about to show up. Jin-Woo hurriedly modified the course of his soar from forward to his rear.
after which….
Splash!!
From the mouth of the spider, dirty and turbid liquid spewed out.
Jin-Woo rolled at the ground for a second before regaining his stability. He quick took a look behind him. The spot at the ground he had been standing best till a 2d in the past turned into now emitting smoke as it got scorched black.
Sizzle….
Stones at the floor melted away powerlessly.
Jin-Woo swallowed his saliva after considering that.
‘If I had jumped ahead just now….’
It wouldn’t have been best the floor that changed into melting proper now.
possibly sensing that Jin-Woo had been distracted, the spider rushed in the direction of him in no time.
Rustle!!
Jin-Woo raised his head. through then, the spider become already right in the front of his eyes.
sleek!
Jin-Woo jumped up to avoid the large spider’s legs.
Slam!!
The b*stard’s assaults had recommenced.
“D*mn it!!”
After that, Jin-Woo were given near the monster’s head several times greater. every time he did that, even though, he had no desire however to retreat on the way to prevent that disgusting digestive juice.
when the spider’s assault sample had turn out to be , it have become that a whole lot more difficult to cope with it. If he were given nearer after evading all the ones snapping legs, the digestive juice spewed out. Its legs attacked again once he needed to retreat to a distance due to the juices.
“Sh*t!”
Feeling frustrated now, he determined to attack the legs along with his dagger.
unluckily, the legs were also covered in that thick exoskeleton and no matter how in many instances he cut it, he couldn’t even nick it once.
Jin-Woo bit his lower lip.
‘This isn’t going to work.’
The spider handiest wanted its two the front legs to assault him, however alternatively, he had to use his complete frame to keep away from them. It changed into apparent who might tire out first right here.
‘Tiredness.’
[Tiredness: 57]
As he thought, his Tiredness Stat become swiftly growing up.
while this Stat hit 70, his speed could lower, and while it reaches ninety, his breathing could become too heavy and it’d emerge as that much tougher to freely pass about.
He become walking out of time.
‘If I need to get closer to it, then…..’
pace.
His pace become the problem.
boom!! growth!! increase! growth!!!
‘Wait. velocity, is it?’
As Jin-Woo continued to barely stay away from each of the legs dropping rain, a notion entered his head.
‘Yeah, I had that, didn’t I?’
He certainly possessed a single active ability. He had forgotten all approximately it due to the fact there has been no need for him to apply it, till now.
‘dash!’
[You’ve activated ‘Skill: Dash’.]
[Your movement speed has increased by 30%. One Mana will be spent every minute during its activation.]
in conjunction with the ones messages, Jin-Woo’s frame became even quicker as though a booster were activated. Evading the spider’s legs had end up even simpler as a end result.
sleek! swish! sleek!
increase! increase! increase!
He unexpectedly kept away from the spider legs slamming down like lightning bolts and in the blink of an eye, arrived before the monster.
Taken by using wonder, the spider hurriedly spewed out its digestive juice.
but, thanks to the increase in his pace, his movement had now this sure composure to it. Jin-Woo easily refrained from the digestive juice and pounced toward the spider’s head.
lessen!
His dagger slashed at the spider’s eyes.
[‘Effect: Paralysis’ has been activated.]
[The effect has been cancelled due to the high resistance of the target.]
[‘Effect: Bleeding’ has been activated.]
[The target’s stamina will decrease by 1% per second.]
“yes!”
one of the special effects the Poison Fang of Kasaka possessed had activated efficaciously.
Rooooaaaar!!!
The spider roared out and staggered approximately.
Jin-Woo didn’t miss this starting.
the instant his feet landed back on the ground, he jumped up once more and climbed on the spider’s frame to get to the top of its head.
The spider went loopy and swung its legs all over the location, however Jin-Woo wasn’t going to let the ones blind assaults land on him.
Slam! growth! Kaboom!
Holes persisted to seem on the terrible, innocent floor alternatively.
Now status on pinnacle of the spider’s head, Jin-Woo started out stabbing the eyes of the spider together with his dagger.
Stab! Stab! Staaab!!
ROOOAAARR!!!
Stab! Stab!!
ROOAARR?!!
The spider rampaged around this manner and that, but Jin-Woo endured until the give up and continued to shove his dagger into the head of the spider.
“Keu, keu-ru-ruk!”
The spider commenced tottering approximately dangerously. It turned into glaringly getting broken now. Seeing this, Jin-Woo’s hands picked up velocity.
And finally, the big frame of the spider sooner or later tilted to the aspect.
THUD!!!
but, Jin-Woo didn’t live his hand. No, he saved going at it, till the spider become dead for certain.
Stab! Stab!! Stab!!!
“Keuruk. Keureureureu….”
along with the final gasps from the spider, several messages popped up in his view.
[You’ve killed the owner of this dungeon.]
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
[Level up!]
“I did it!”
while included from head to toe within the spider blood, Jin-Woo raised his hands up high. maybe because it become a chairman monster, his degree jumped up through three.

From stage 18, he had jumped up to attain 21 in one go. And that wasn’t even the quit. except the level up messages, some thing else additionally popped up as properly.
Tti-ring.
[‘Store: Buy’ function is now available with your level having reached 20.]
‘Oh, so i’m able to sooner or later spend the ones Gold things now, eh?’
That became a pleasant message, for positive. but, now wasn’t the proper time to relaxedly browse via the shop.
RUMBLE…..
The cave started to shake only a little.
[With the death of the dungeon’s owner, the entrance of the dungeon will be destroyed in one hour.]
[Remaining time: 59 minutes 58 seconds.]
indeed, he needed to get out of this area earlier than the Gate closed on him, in any case. browsing via the shop might be carried out once he turned into someplace safe.
just as Jin-Woo became approximately to climb down, he spotted some thing glowing brightly within the center of the spider’s head.
‘Is that an object?’
however, unlike the monsters from the on the spot dungeon, there has been no message approximately recovered gadgets, nor could he automatically declare them.
What should it’s, then?
Jin-Woo contemplated briefly before realising what it was.
‘Ah, these items have magic crystals, don’t they?’
irrespective of how busy he changed into, how should he overlook something so treasured like that?
Jin-Woo extracted the magic crystal hidden deep within the head of the lifeless spider. This became a C-rank magic crystal extracted from the boss monster, so it have to as a minimum go for round ten million received, clean.
because the trophy for his glamorous victory, this would do very properly.
Jin-Woo lightly jumped down from the useless spider’s head.

He landed lightly at the floor and turned around, and well, he found greater glowing lighting fixtures, this time coming from the spider’s belly.
now not simplest that, however numerous of them, even!
Jin-Woo was now feeling instead amazed.
He heard stories of a few monsters owning two, three magic crystals, but there had been truly too many lights to say the ones ought to all be magic crystals.
‘What may want to they be, then?’
He used the dagger to slice open the stomach and persisted directly to its stomach, which resulted in half-digested stays of the insect-kind monsters to pour out to the ground. And the lighting were coming from the ones.
“No manner….?!”
Jin-Woo rummaged via the lifeless insects one on the time.
And simply as he suspected, all of them possessed their magic crystals. positive, some of them had melted down and emerge as smaller than earlier than, but quite plenty of them had survived and remained as precise as new.
while he collected the intact ones, he counted over ten.
“I definitely hit the jackpot this time!”
He got here to earn this month’s hire, however at this rate, he’d be incomes manner extra than that.
“H-hyung-nim.”
whilst Jin-Woo looked back, he saw Yu Jin-Ho there.
“Please, put them in here.”
Yu Jin-Ho then proceeded to cautiously tuck inside the magic crystals belonging to Jin-Woo inside his device bag. next, he reached within the nook of the identical bag and pulled out a Thermos, earlier than pouring the flask’s content on its lid.
“Hyung-nim, you must be feeling thirsty. Please, drink this. It’s water.”
indeed, it became a cold, refreshing cup of water, crammed right up to the threshold.
‘Why is this youngster doing some thing no person asked him to?’
