Hoarding in Hell Novel

Chapter 79 Then something like that (2)

After an awkward silence, mental panic, and some commotion, the expedition was able to calm down again.

Fortunately, John’s message, correctly interpreted, did not mean ‘this is not the boss’.

It meant that he wasn’t the final boss.

Yoo Seong-yeon, the leader of the Obsidian Team, started to sort things out.

“Normal dungeons require only finding the hearthstone, which is the primary goal. And this werewolf warrior… seems to be the secondary goal. So, you have to achieve the third goal?”

John did not answer, but the consensus was that he probably would not.

However, the 3rd goal of the truncation dungeon has not been revealed yet. Because of this, hunters usually completed only the second round and returned.

At the point where I thought everything was finally over, I had to fight again, and my morale had to be broken.

Everyone looked at the Hearthstone with thirsty expressions.

Just put your hand on it and you can get out.

“Team leader Seo Tae-kyung… should have already returned?”

Red Butterfly picked up her watch and checked the time. The time promised with Seo Tae-kyung had already passed. I thought he would have returned by now.

Nabi and Yoo Seong-yeon put their heads together and pondered what to do. The red butterfly opened its mouth first.

“The reason Priest John stopped leaving was because the Flood wasn’t over yet.”

“But everyone is exhausted. Except for Kang Hyunmoo, we have found all the missing people…”

“Do you think Team Leader Yoo Seong-yeon should use the Hearthstone?”

Yoo Seong-yeon pondered for a moment, then shook his head.

“Not right now. We’ve found the hearthstone, so don’t worry about not being able to return home. Let’s explore the area and find Kang Hyunmoo, or at least figure out what the tertiary goal is. If it seems like it, I’ll come back.”

The enemy butterfly nodded her head heavily.

While Yoo Seong-yeon went to inform the other hunters of her decision, she looked around the dungeon with a complicated expression.

The mysterious rituals of the ratmen ceased, but the flames were still burning.

If there is one comfort though, it is that all but one hunter have now been found.

Even if you are exhausted, having someone to discuss with you head-to-head gives you the ultimate relief in the dungeon.

Wandering alone in a dark and narrow dungeon was worse for the mind than the physical strength.

Because of this, Naked Butterfly was worried about one person who was not here now.

‘ Mr. Kang Hyunmoo, where are you?’

***“Ah, there is.”

Hyunmoo found a secret safe where the wall had been pushed.

The structure of the Black Beak Citadel of the Fallen Empire and this truncated dungeon are very similar in structure, although there is no relation.

The difference was that the Black Beak Citadel was built on an open mountain, and the truncation dungeon was in the dark ground.

Anyway, thanks to the similarity in design, Hyunmoo was able to wander around the truncation dungeon like he did.

Among them, the location of the treasury, which could not be reached due to the soldiers guarding it at the Black Beak Citadel, was included.

“It’s more like a warehouse than a treasure trove…”

Anyway, I don’t know what’s hidden. But Hyunmoo opened the secret safe and smiled.

Inside the safe was a legendary item that was said to be difficult to find at this time.

[Helburg’s Displaced Passion (Legend)][Classification: Two-Handed Sword][Physical Attack: Medium, Magic Attack: Medium High, Penetration: Low][Special Ability: Consumes mana to raise heat from the sword. Mana consumption increases with temperature. The bearer has heat immunity.][Note: The first witch hunter Helburg believed it was right to burn her witch. The problem was his passion like an arsonist who burns and sees once he encounters a problem, but the ashes from burning witches have become witch plagues and have begun to spread. Helburg’s madness that everything related to witches should be burned began to burn the empire in the end. In the end, Helburg was shattered to ashes by the imperial dragon Morkphenon.]

It was a two-handed sword that looked pretty flashy.

Hyunmoo swung it once, thinking of who should have had this weapon in the first place.

‘Originally, I said that it was something that Lee Ji-tae found and used usefully.’

According to the records of Baekgol, it was a weapon that was used as a symbol of Lee Ji-tae.

Lee Ji-tae had an acceleration skill and an ultimate skill called Brilliant Wings, and he enjoyed using the Brilliance Wings to observe the enemy from the air and then use acceleration to slam it down.

Thanks to its gorgeous visuals and powerful effects, many people liked it. By adding Helburg’s disjointed passion to this, the skill linkage became much stronger.

‘But now it’s in my hands?’

Of course, since Lee Ji-tae already has usable weapons, there is no problem. Hyunmoo preyed on Tom with Helburg’s elusive passion without any regrets.

Tom devoured the sword as it split apart as he did when he ate a bloody dagger. After eating, Tom’s appearance began to change. A little longer than before, and colorful patterns appeared.

[Tam (legendary/genuine)][Classification: Sword][Physical Attack: Medium, Magic Attack: Medium, Penetration: Low][Special Ability: Eats up a sacrificed weapon and gains the ability of that weapon. It has the ability to shed body fluids, causing a healing effect when sending body fluids to an ally, and dealing damage when sending body fluids to an enemy. Consumes mana to raise the heat from the sword.][Absorbed Weapon: Blood Dagger, Helburg’s Disjointed Passion, and 4 other types]

‘The ability is also rising.’

The effect was better than when I fed a few rare weapons.

At the very least, it seemed that the specs would improve if he had to eat something with a higher ability than himself.

Seeing that even lower grades than himself were displayed as ‘a few other species’, it seemed to be a sword with a strong sense of discrimination.

‘The taste is picky.’

Still, it was an advantage that I didn’t have to bother carrying this and that.

When I lightly infused mana into Tam, the blood filled with blood, and the pattern engraved on the sword began to shine brightly.

The heat seemed to flow right out of the pattern.

Hyunmoo also started digging through other safes. But since then, nothing as good as Helburg’s disjointed passion has come out.

Strength increase potions and ratman statues were all. There was an explanation that the ratman statue had the effect of dreaming of mice when sleeping on it by the bedside.

‘It’s garbage.’

I drank the potion to increase strength as soon as I picked it up. But it didn’t seem like he had much power.

“…is it because of the difference in difficulty?”

The thought of discovering the hidden space of the dungeon made me feel like an idiot.

Except for Helburg’s inconsistent passion, the difficulty level was like garbage in Hell.

Hyunmoo grunted and headed towards the last place. Before opening the door, Hyunmoo remembered where this place was for a moment.

It was the place where Yanok Max chanted a spell at the difficulty level of Hell.

‘By the way, do you think everyone came this way?’

As soon as Hyunmoo came to the truncation dungeon, he checked the expedition’s life and death. Although their numbers have decreased, they are still alive.

John was also unharmed. It was as expected, but when I checked that there were no wounds, I thought I was worried for nothing.

‘No. I would never have come here.’

Some sections to reach this point had to pass through the secret passage several times. As there was no trace of anyone leaving or leaving, it seemed as if they had not come this far.

Hyunmoo opened the door on the top floor. For a moment, I could feel the vibration of the entire dungeon. Hyunmoo realized that the dungeon was transforming once more and started running quickly.

‘If this is a time-limited secret room, there might be something useful.’

Tack, Tack! While spurring the walls and floors swaying randomly, Hyunmoo watched the structures of the dungeon move in the thick darkness.

‘I think my night vision has improved a bit. Is this also because of the increase in ability?’

It wasn’t just night vision. I was running on a dungeon that was moving casually, but it didn’t seem like it was just because my visual acuity improved.

It felt like I could clearly see what principle, how, and when the dungeon would move.

‘What, did your hair just get better?’

He honestly never thought he had a bad brain. There is no basis. He thought so anyway.I didn’t have a chance to blossom my talents, but I was hoping that maybe it was only now that my talents started to blossom.

Hyunmoo kicked off the moving hallway and arrived at the end.

Tak, the moment I stepped in, an open square caught my eye.

“her.”

In terms of scale, it was similar to the rooftop where Yannock Marx chanted spells. But the details inside were crude and messy.

Hyunmoo expected something in the middle. But waiting there was one little ratman.

To be precise, it was a hamster ratman.

“Yanok?”

“Take it.”

He answered in a cute voice.

***

“Here… there must be a way to a hidden boss room…”

Yoo Seong-yeon looked around and traced objects and walls. She looked at the enemy butterfly also the hearthstone and the bizarre jinn carved around it.

When she saw the monsters rioting around here, she looked like Jin had a meaning, but had no idea what it meant.

“Isn’t it on a different road?”

“Even if that were the case, there would be hints related to it. Dungeons with complex structures give hints as much as they do. Of course, dungeons with that complex structure only appear from 4 stars or higher… There isn’t.”

Naked Butterfly looked at John. But it seemed that even John didn’t know.

The Hunters were really frustrated because they thought they could all go out. The enemy butterfly had to find a way to something of her.

“Even if I’m alone, I’ll look around and come. If it’s to run away, I’m confident…”

It was then. Suddenly, the dungeon began to shake and the structure began to change. Realizing that the dungeon transformation had begun, the hunters hurriedly gathered. If you don’t scatter, there’s nothing to lose.

“The deformation is quite large! Hold on to each other!”

Naked Butterfly realized that this transformation was as great as the transformation that the Hunters were subjected to when they first dispersed.

Soon, the walls of the dungeon began to move quickly with a thud.

Fortunately, the room itself didn’t seem to change much. But when the seat of the hearthstone fell to the floor, everyone’s faces turned pale. In an emergency, there was no way to escape.

“What, did you touch something?”

Only the room they were in was fine, and the entire dungeon seemed to be undergoing cataclysmic change.

Yoo Seong-yeon’s expression hardened as she looked at the rapidly changing wall.

“The room is rising upwards.”

I don’t know where they’re heading, but they were soaring at a very high speed.
