18. Episode 18

“I can’t believe there was a dungeon in the first chapter of the tutorial.”

Hidden Dungeon, ‘The forgotten hero’s training ground’.

It was a situation that even Sewoon had never thought of.

What is a dungeon?

It is full of monsters that give more experience than normal fields, and if you succeed in attacking, you will receive a different level of reward than in the field.

In particular, when you attack a dungeon for the first time, the reward is several times greater than before.

For that reason, it is known that the majority of dungeons disappear when the first clearing is completed.

Sewoon found such a dungeon now.

Tuck, Tuck.

There was no reason to delay coming here.

Even after returning to the camp, only Sewoon could climb the top of the rocky mountain again, and since he had no items to take with him, Sewoon confidently stepped into the darkness.

‘Looks like there’s no separate lighting.’

I thought it would be an artificial place when I saw the name of the training center, but as soon as I put my foot out at the entrance, I realized that it was not.

Literally a cave.

The ground was uneven, and the walls and ceiling were uneven.

There were even stalagmites and stalactites protruding from the floor and ceiling.

However, that’s where you can check it out.

As I took a few more steps, the light that illuminated the entrance disappeared and black darkness eroded my vision.

Padak, padak!

kiik-

As the vision went out, various sounds began to be heard through the sensitive hearing.

Something flapping its wings and screaming.

A normal person would have already felt the fear and retreated here.

This is because sight is one of the senses that people rely on the most among the five senses, and its loss means fear.

A state where you can’t proceed without even a small torch.

However, Sewoon had a tool that was incomparably superior to a torch.

– Opened the treasure house of greed.

[Night Owl’s Eyes]

– The eyes of an owl, a nocturnal raptor called a night predator in the wild. Even in darkness, it attracts light to brighten the field of view.

In the pitch black darkness, Sewoon’s eyes twinkled.

It was not a figurative expression, but the pupils were shining bright yellow, collecting and capturing the feeble light scattered here and there in the cave.

‘that’s interesting.’

The cave, which could not be seen even an inch in front, begins to be clearly visible.

The only downside is that the color doesn’t look like a black and white photo?

However, since this place is inside a cave anyway, there would have been no need to observe the color.

It’s a much more efficient method than losing one hand from holding a torch.

‘If I went forward without any countermeasures, I could have been pierced before I even met the monster.’

Stalagmites and stalactites were occasionally seen at the entrance.

After entering a certain depth, the stalagmites were aiming for the intruder’s body from everywhere like a trap.

Not only the floor and ceiling, but also the walls protruded, and the sharp stalagmites were full of sharp stalagmites even in the pit that was dug out of nowhere.

There were no traces of artificial creation, but it was a place that seemed to be a natural fortress like a rocky mountain.

Fortunately, I didn’t have to worry about getting lost. Because there was only one way through the cave.

How long did it take?

Finally, the identity of the grotesque noise that had been heard over and over again was revealed.

“Keee!”

Padak, padak!

Bats attached to the stalactites filling the ceiling spread their wings.

It was a bit loud at first, but soon it became loud enough to ring in the ears.

The number of people I saw through the ‘night owl’s eyes’ was dozens, if not more.

Besides, they were no ordinary bats.

‘Vampire Bat.’

A monster commonly called a vampire bat.

As if to prove that they are not ordinary animals, the size of the guys with their wings spread reached 1m.

The cave, which was gradually widening, was filled with them.

‘About this much.’

They are not very strong monsters.

If you simply measure the degree of strength, it is similar to the wolves you faced in the first wave.

Their strength is always in the dark.

In a situation where the opponent can’t see, the attack that thoroughly stabs the opponent’s gap.

Even if you are holding a torch, if you get caught up in their attack, you will miss the torch and the light will go out.

Of course, this does not apply to Sewoon at all.

Hwareuk!

When Sewoon spread his hand, the orb of flame shook.

Hwa-gu, who had been growing until just before the bats arrived, followed Se-eun’s instructions to light up the cave, and by the time it had grown to the point of reaching the ceiling.

Quarreuk!

“Kieack!”

It devours the bats and moves forward.

No matter how agile they are, they cannot avoid the flames that have grown so large in the confined space of a cave.

The bats that covered Seun’s vision instantly burned to black and fell to the ground.

– Predated the ‘Vampire Bat’.

– By absorbing nutrients, Agility increases by 2.

-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ cheers, saying that the taste of well-roasted wings is excellent.

Perfect effect beyond imagination.

However, there was one major side effect.

Excellent water-

“It’s not as sturdy as I thought.”

I only used magic once, but the cave shakes nervously, and stalactites pour over my head like a shower.

After that, the shaking did not stop for about five minutes, and stone dust fell gently.

If he continued to use his magic, not only would his body be pierced by the stalactites, but the cave would collapse.

furthermore.

‘It looks like the ventilation isn’t working properly.’

The smell of bat burn did not go away for a while.

The fine wind felt on the skin informed the circulation of the air, but the wind was extremely small.

If he used fire magic again, all the oxygen might burn up.

“Is it a crossroads?”

The roads were divided for the first time.

If you close your eyes right now and turn your body around, you will be mistaken for the road you have walked, the same road.

The method of choice in this case is usually to follow one wall.

If you hold on to the wall and follow it, even if it’s a long and arduous journey, you’ll eventually reach the end of the dungeon and won’t get lost on the way back to the entrance.

But, who is Sewoon?

Although he received help from his unique skill, ‘Journey Guidelines’, he explored numerous fields and dungeons until he reached the 92nd floor of the tower.

Quite a bit of the dungeon’s characteristics and strategy were perfectly engraved in his head.

“Whoa… … .”

The first thing Sewoon did was to close his eyes.

It gave up the vision revealed through the eyes of the night owl.

Next, use all your senses except your eyesight to grasp the flow of the cave.

sue-

The wind was weak enough to shake the fluff.

Kiek-

Unlike the Vampire Bat, the monster’s roar was sharper and higher.

ugh-

The direction of the weak mana coming in through the breath you inhale. It all pointed to one place.

“This way.”

Sewoon was able to have confidence without having to take out a new treasure.

Without hesitation, he moved his feet in the direction he had chosen.

As I went a little further, the identity of the scream I heard at the crossroads caught my eye.

-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ licks his lips, saying that those wings will taste like chewing.

Blade Bat.

Before I knew it, a bat appeared freely flying inside the cave, which was as wide as a corridor, and its wings were sharp like blades, hence the name.

Every time they flapped their wings, the air seemed to squeak and cut.

such a monster.

“Kieek-”

From nob le mt l dot com

Just like the vampire bats, they clung to the ceiling in groups.

Soon after, they found Se-Won, exuding a distinctive high-pitched voice and revealing sharp wings.

Hwareuk!

Sewoon fired a fireball once again.

I adjusted the power as much as possible so as not to shock the cave and shot it at the bats.

However, the result was slightly different from before.

squeak-

“A monster that cuts down magic in the first chapter of the tutorial.”

Their sharp wings slashed the flames and rushed straight at Sewoon.

Upon closer inspection, I could see that mana had permeated into their wings, albeit faintly.

Even so, it would be impossible to cut down that much magic, but with dozens of blade bats swinging their blades, it seemed that Sewoon’s magic couldn’t hold out.

Kang!

Kaga River!

Dozens of blades collided with Sewoon’s sword.

Each attack was not very strong, but there were so many of them that it was impossible to block or avoid them.

Fortunately, as you can see, the defense was poor.

hooked!

It means that you can hunt a bladed bat just by lightly swinging your sword.

however.

‘There are too many.’

At this rate, it seemed that Sewoon’s stamina would run out before he hunted them all.

The gray wolf cloak was excellently blocking the blade, but the guys were persistently aiming for gaps that the cloak couldn’t cover.

suat-

Finally, a razor bat penetrated the cloak and wound Sewoon’s skin.

Red blood oozes from the long, sharp cuts, as if cut by a knife.

Sewoon, frowning, activates the power of greed without hesitation.

– Opened the treasure house of greed.

[ Lizardman’s scales ]

– The scales of Lizardmen, beasts that inherited the power of reptiles. Quite a few attacks are completely blocked, and if you realize mana, you can even block magic.

There was no need to go through trouble against these monsters while saving power.

It didn’t wear out just by using it, so there was no need to spare it even if the opponent was just a bladed bat.

Teeing!

“Kike-?”

The bladed bat, which had burrowed into Seun’s arms once again, questioned the firm feel of its wings.

Simultaneously with the use of the authority, Seun’s skin, which was not covered by the cloak, grew shiny scales unique to reptiles.

It is not a real form, but a form close to a kind of shield realized with mana.

Because it was still only 1 circle, it was not possible to form scales in a wide range.

However, the only place Sewoon needs to block is the area that is not covered by the cloak.

The moment the cloak and scales covered the whole body, the victory or defeat had already been decided.

Phew, Kwajik!

“Kieek-”

One-sided slaughter.

They tried desperately, but in the end, Sewoon died without even a small wound on his body.

It wasn’t that easy to hit the swiftly flying guys with a sword, but it wasn’t a problem for Sewoon, who had already mastered the Hamel family’s long swordsmanship and the Blood Rang swordsmanship.

-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ makes a snapping sound and chews the wings of a razor bat.

After using the power of gluttony to clean up their corpses, I continued walking.

Light traps and monster attacks continued after that, but there was no threat to Sewoon, who obtained the ‘Night Owl’s Eye’ and ‘Lizardman’s Scales’.

The crossroads also chose the path without hesitation through the knowledge before returning.

How long did it take?

Huung-

Unlike the weak air flow so far, I felt a cool breeze that took my breath away.

The feeble mana also became strong enough to cause the circle to vibrate.

“This was the real practice.”

The cave ended, and an open cavity appeared.

Even when the night owl’s eyes weren’t activated, a faint light filtered in through a small crack in the ceiling, dimly illuminating the cavity.

A forgotten hero’s retreat. It has reached its end.
