Chapter 65: Dungeon Gate (4)
Chapter 65: Dungeon Gate (4)
Seongpan Kim hid in a corner and watched the battle of the four, trembling in fear.
Thud!
Kim Seong-pan, who fell once on the cloud of the boss' feet, got up in a hurry.
Jun-woo ran to Kim Seong-pan and asked.
"Is that skill also used for monsters?"
"Yes, Yes!"
"What is the cooldown?"
"Five seconds."
"What is the effect?"
"When used against an earth attribute monster, it can leave a mark, and the DEF of the marked location is reduced by 61! Boss, the boss is coming!"
As the boss approached, Jun-woo extended his palm toward the boss.
A strong wind blew, and the approaching boss gradually pushed back and fell backward once.
Ji Dong-won's Mace fell on the head of the fallen boss.
"Join the battle. Leave marks on the monsters. A good place to hit."
"Yes, Yes!"
"This is a mana potion. If it's not enough, drink it."
"Yeah! Thank you!"
Kim Seong-pan handed the mana potion and began to use his skill toward the golems with a nervous face.
A purple air stream was shot, and a purple mark the size of an apple appeared on the Golem's side.
Jun-woo shouted.
"Hit the purple!"
Yoshimura looked at the purple and swung her Mace.
Bang!
Every part of the Golem's body was dyed purple.
Thanks to Seongpan Kim's skill, the time to catch 5 subordinates was noticeably faster.
The boss was left alone, and Kim Seong-pan used a skill toward the boss from behind.
Purple marks appear one by one all over the boss's body.
And there, the attack of the four penetrated.
20 minutes or so after subordinates jumped in, dealt with subordinates, and beat the boss repeatedly. A black pig bumped into the boss's right leg.
Pop!
When the boss's right leg was smashed, he lost his balance and fell forward.
The boss swung his arms desperately as he fell, but they weren't fools enough to greet him.
Climbing on the back of the fallen boss, Yoshimura shot down the Mace without mercy.
"Die a little!"
The earth-colored stones that make up the boss's body were being destroyed little by little.
The boss, who could not stand up, could no longer call the Golem, and finally, his back was pierced, and a large soul stone, the boss's heart, touched the Mace.
Kwajik!
The boss's body, who had struggled as the soul stone shattered, sank down and gradually turned into sand.
At that moment, a phrase appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
[The portal to the outside has been opened. The portal disappears after 21 hours, 28 minutes 37 seconds.]
Jun-woo looked at the clock in the item window.
The boss had to be caught within 40 hours, and it seemed to have seen the boss in about 18 hours and 30 minutes.
The remaining portal time is 21 hours and 30 minutes.
A hopeful smile crept across the four's lips.
Yoshimura exclaimed.
"You did it! I did it! Four people did it."
Contributions to the boss floated above their heads.
Seongpan Kim was 4%, Eumeria 12%, Yoshimura 13%, Dongwon Ji 17%, and Jun-woo the remaining 54%.
Kim Seong-pan's contribution was higher than expected, so Yoshimura looked at it suspiciously.
The phrase came to mind again.
[As a reward based on your contribution to catching Otum, the boss of Golem's Rest, your HP increases by 1 per 2% of your contribution.]
When Yoshimura saw the phrase, he burst out in a short exclamation.
"Wow, great."
Due to the contribution reward, Jun-woo's stamina stat increased by 27 more.
Yoshimura quickly counted and opened his mouth to look at Jun-woo.
"Wow Your stamina has increased by 27?"
"Chu, congratulations."
It was too early to congratulate Ji Dong-won.
Another phrase came to mind:
[The person with the highest contribution to solving the dungeon is granted the attribute Otum's Protection.']
All four looked at Jun-woo.
No matter what anyone said, the reward would fall to Jun-woo.
The trait was a reward that was seldom obtained.
Yoshimura and Ji Dong-won made envious faces.
"Wow ."
"congratulations ."
The effect was probably a trait that would have a good impact on tanks.
[Attribute Otum's Protection' has been created as a reward.]
[You can have two talents, you must choose two of the three.]
At level 100, one of the attributes is expanded, and Jun-Woo can apply three characteristics.
But now, only two characteristics can be applied.
[Otum's Protection]
-Class: Unique
-Talent: Defense is increased by 20, and damage taken is reduced by 20%.
[Advancement]
-Rank: Legendary
-Attribute: Increases the level of all skills by 2, and the maximum value increases by 2. All stats increase by 20.
[The Seeker]
-Class: Unique
-Talent: Permanently increases intellect throughout life. Intellect rises up to a maximum of 50, and when an Intellect of 50 is increased by a trait, the trait evolves.
Jun-woo chose the one who advanced and explored without much thought.
Otum's protection was a characteristic that showed a sound effect when attacked.
However, Jun-woo did not intend to fight with being right, and both characteristics he had were necessary options.
[Otum's protection disappears. Instead, some effects permeate.]
[Your defense is increased by 10, and damage taken is reduced by 10% by Otum's protection.]
The trait was not applied due to the character limitation. Still, it was possible to obtain half of that effect, so the quality was a coveted reward.
And all that was left was the item.
Skill books, blueprints, gloves, rings, minerals, and sparkling stones came to mind.
Seeing the sparkling stone, Yoshimura and Ji Dong-won's eyes widened.
It was a promotion seat that would be hard to see if the prediction was correct.
Yoshimura said while carrying the unique skill book that had fallen on him.
"Wow Is it a promotion? Who are you?"
The fact that the promotion seat fell was a sound that could raise that person's job grade.
Miner Kim Seong-pan cautiously approached the promotion seat.
"Go, thank you thank you."
Kim Seong-pan bowed his head to the four who came to rescue him and picked up the promotion stone, a belonging item.
And I used a promotion stone more than I noticed.
It was the moment when Seongpan Kim went from rare to epic.
Yoshimura said while looking at Kim Seong-pan.
"You are a fortunate man."
Ji Dong-won took the ring and some minerals.
Eumeria took the minerals.
The remaining minerals, including one blueprint and gloves, belonged to Jun-woo.
[Super Compressed Mana Cannon Blueprint] [Bound]
-Class: Unique
-Classification: Two-Handed Firearms

-Material: 15 adamantium
10 mithril
20 black pieces
10 Sacred Crystal Crystals
3 Crystal Balls of Light

*
-The value of the blueprint: 18,000,000,000,000
-Value of the item at the time of crafting: 72,500,000,000
It seemed like a weapon that could only be worn with firearms-related mastery.
Since it was a blueprint that was dropped instead of a recipe, Jun-woo was able to get the effect of increasing damage by 10 when making and using this.
In addition, it was a bonus to obtain related knowledge of the blueprint.
Jun-woo's attention was taken from the weapon he saw for the first time.
Yoshimura said curiously.
"If it's white, is it a blueprint?"
Jun-woo did not use it and put it in the item window.
[Otum's Stone Gloves]
-Rank: Unique+

*Increases health by 399

*Increases defense by 15

*If you take 43 or less damage from being hit, you will not take damage.
Item value: 75,000,000
Gloves were of great value.
Since he had everything he needed to bring, Jun-woo looked around once and said,
"Let me go."
There was a blue alien portal at the entrance.
But at that time, Dongwon Ji and Eumeria were taken aback.
Eumeria said hurriedly with her round eyes.
"Wait! You can't go out."
Jun-woo looked at Eumeria as if wondering.
Yoshimura looked at them as they spoke in Korean.
Ji Dong-won said.
"You can't leave right away. We've caught the boss and have time left, so we should look around here."
Eumeria nodded her head.
"The dungeon gate has a high probability of hiding a hidden piece."
It was Eumeria, telling me what I had learned last night.
Yoshimura, who was watching, interrupted.
"Are you sure you didn't just go out? I heard there might be something like a treasure chest somewhere?"
Jun-woo lacked knowledge about the dungeon gate.
The average level did not need to know about the dungeon gate.
The one who knew best about the double dungeon gate was probably Ji Dong-won, who received professional training.
As Jun-woo didn't seem to know, Dong-won Ji explained.
"So, out of 40 hours, we used 18 and 30 minutes. You can explore this cave further for a whopping 21 hours. If you are lucky, you may find a hidden treasure. Of course, it may not be, but there is a good chance there is something here."
Jun-woo nodded slowly.
"Then you're saying you have to wander around the cave more for the rest of the time and get out by the end of the portal time?"
"Right. That's the essence. You can catch the remaining monsters or find hidden treasures somewhere."
"If there is such a thing, I think I know about one place."
Ji Dong-won asked as if wondering.
"Yeah? Where do you think?"
Jun-woo took out the map he drew and marked the end of the road with his finger.
"Because there is a high probability that the boss will be here as well."
"Yeah, that's right. If you go through there, maybe there will be a way ."
Yoshimura intervened.
"There must be something there."
Kim Seong-pan overheard their conversation and did not know what to do.
They wanted to leave the created portal but said there might be something, so they seemed to stay here a little longer.
Whether he should stay with him or go out alone, Kim Seong-pan waited only for Jun-woo's instructions.
Jun-woo looked at Kim Seong-pan and said,
"Looks like you have something to do. Congratulations on your promotion."
"Go, thank you! What can I do to help?"
"I think it would be good if you could write with skill."
"Yeah! Just tell me!"
Jun-woo took out the flying car.
"Ride."
"Yeah!"
A flying car carrying five quickly flew along the path of the cave.
There was no golem in the way of the flying car.
Yoshimura, who was sitting in the passenger seat, asked curiously.
"Did you memorize all the roads?"
"Because it has a number on it."
"Still, that's great. Is it because you have high intelligence?"
Although not scientifically proven, people with high intelligence generally have better memories.
Yoshimura glanced at Kim Seong-pan, sitting behind him in the mirror, and spoke in Japanese.
"If you find something, will you give it to him too?"
"Why?"
"No, it is. Four people came to this dangerous place because of that person, but it's a little bit too much to share. First of all, he was the one who tried to break into your underground workshop, right? I don't think you need to take care of it."
Instead of answering, Jun-woo slowly nodded his head.
They reached the end of the spiral path.
If the road continued, the front wall would have to be broken.
Yoshimura looked around the wall and said,
"Will it break?"
"You should do it. Please give me some skills."
"Yeah!"
Kim Seong-pan hurriedly used the skill toward the wall.
As he became Epic, the improved skill had a more comprehensive range than before and jumped more purple.
The walls were all painted purple.
And there, Jun-woo's cannonball robot started firing continuous shells.
Jun-woo said, looking at the wall that barely moved.
"Shall we leave it like this and go to a place we haven't been to?"
Ji Dong-won answered quickly.
"That would be great!"
"Let's take a look."
The cannonball robot continued to fire cannonballs at the wall, and the five quickly ran into an untraveled path.
Five golems were waiting in the center.
Kim Seong-pan's skill was definitely helpful.
Their eyes that caught the Golem quickly scanned the wall.
It was an act to find out if there was something.
Miner Seongpan Kim walked while staring at the wall.
"If you see something different, please tell me."
Kim Seong-pan quickly responded to Jun-woo's words.
"Yeah! Okay."
With the miner's gaze, Kim Seong-pan concentrated and scanned the wall.
But there was nothing to be seen, and they returned to the place a little while ago.
The cannonball robot continued to fire shells, and the wall was dug little by little.
Yoshimura said while looking at the dug-in wall.
"It was less digging than I expected."
The skill's cooldown was too short, so Jun-woo threw the self-destruct robot on the wall.
The wall was getting cracked open.
Even though I drilled about 3m for 10 minutes, I couldn't see the hole on the other side.
Jun-woo asked, looking at Kim Seong-pan, who was using the skill next to him.
"What do you think? Is there something?"
"Huh that I do not know ."
Without a promise, Jun-woo used his skill and shot a bullet at the wall.
Could it have been 3 more minutes? The fired bullet pierced the hole and went inside.
The four eyes widened when they saw it.
Yoshimura said.
"It was pierced."
As the black pig went and bumped into it, the hole that looked like a ray of light widened significantly.
It was large enough for a person to enter.
Yoshimura and Ji Dong-won drew satisfied smiles.
"Is this the feeling of discovering a hidden dungeon?"
"Haha Shall I go in? Master?"
Jun-woo nodded his head.
Ji Dong-won entered, followed by Jun-woo and Eumeria.
Yoshimura held out his palm as if to stop Kim Seong-pan, who was about to follow him.
"Would you mind waiting here for a little bit?"
If there was a reward according to the participants, it could be shared with Kim Seong-pan.
There was no intention of sharing the reward according to the contribution.
Even without Kim Seong-pan's help, the four of us would be able to catch it.
If anything else was to be found, Kim Seong-pan did not need to know it.
Kim Seong-pan looked at his palm, understood roughly what he meant, and looked at Jun-woo with worried eyes.
Ji Dong-won stopped and looked behind and quickly understood what was going on.
Ji Dong-won looked ahead, avoiding Kim Seong-pan's gaze.
The three were members of the Aegis guild, and only themselves were members of the Daehan guild.
He didn't have the right to decide, and like Yoshimura, he didn't want to go in with Kim Seong-pan.
Jun-woo looked at Kim Seong-pan and said,
"Stay here. There are no golems nearby, so you'll be safe. If any golems come, run inside."
Kim Seong-pan did not feel even the slightest resentment for Jun-woo's treatment.
He was clearly a thief who tried to break into Jun-woo's underground workshop.
Thanks to Jun-woo, I could get out of prison, and thanks to Jun-woo, I survived here.
Kim Seong-pan was only infinitely grateful and apologetic to Jun-woo, who gave him a favor.
"Oh, yes! Be careful and go!"
When Jun-woo turned his back and entered, Yoshimura followed.
The four entered, and Kim Seong-pan was left alone, paying attention to the Golem that might come.
Seongpan Kim moved to the left wall to see all three paths clearly.
Sitting close to the wall, Seongpan Kim waited for them to come out.
But then I suddenly felt that the wall behind me was warm.
Kim Seong-pan's head hurriedly turned back.
It might be the miner's touch, sometimes felt by high-ranking miners.
Seongpan Kim recalled the words of Daenam Jeong, an epic-grade miner.
that Sometimes the walls feel warm. Of course, nine out of ten are bad, but I can't help but dig it. It's not common to feel that way.'
Kim Seong-pan's eyes slowly widened.
Didn't something just warm up?'
The feeling I had just heard had already disappeared, but Kim Seong-pan caressed the wall as if wondering.
Then, he couldn't break through the wall, so Kim Seong-pan sat on the floor again and waited for Jun-woo to come out.
