Maxed Out Leveling Novel

Chapter 119

42. Dragon Blood (3)

The shortened autumn passed without a moment to realize, and it has been quite some time since I got used to the rapidly cold winter weather.

The calendar has been updated and it is now 2027. The memory of seeing the first sunrise of the new year is already over a fortnight.

The first dungeon fusion phenomenon and dragon blood appeared three months ago. Fortunately, nothing has happened in the meantime.

Although the fusion continued to occur, it did not evolve into a dungeon with dozens of entrances on a mega-scale, as initially feared. It was because of the frequent merging to the entrance.

Even if several dungeons were merged, the total number of entrances also decreased, so there was no shortage of manpower. It was no longer a 1 dungeon 1 monster, so there was a downside that I had to be more careful when hunting.

I don't know if it's the effect of returning the hemoglobin, but there was no new hemolysis. At least that's how it was reported. It would be nice not to see them again like this, but it's a pity that the meeting was foretold.

Anyway, since the other place was more peaceful than I thought, the place where the biggest change occurred was the Mist Pup Dungeon.

To be precise, it wasn't the dungeon, but the humans who were training in it.

“Wow… … .”

About 300 meters above the sky.

Lee Ji-hye, who was standing on her foot in the air, clenched her teeth and shook her body.

Her whole body was drenched in sweat because she was exhausting both her body and her mind to the limit.

A condensed qi (?), and a condensed hwan (丸). As the name suggests, Kanghwan, which was originally supposed to be the size of a bead, had an elongated and pointed shape as if reminiscent of a blade. It is not that the aerodynamic force is not compressed, but that much is poured, so it is this size even after compression.

There were several Kanghwan swords floating around Lee Ji-hye that, if hit, could send even the most advanced masters in one hit.

Burrr!

However, the energy is unstable as if it is difficult to control. No matter how desperately you try, there are limits to your abilities.

As she tried to make her new river phantom again, she finally let out an urgent scream.

“Ugh!”

Eventually, Kang Hwan Sword, out of control, fell to the ground and began to scatter. Like a stream of water pouring from a shower, the river splashed out in all directions, embroidering the air.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

The river, which fell disorderly to the ground, destroyed the land without mercy. The roar penetrates hundreds of meters and is heard here.

“Wow… lower... … .”

Lee Ji-hye let out a hard breath. Still, Yongke himself was holding on without falling.

“Is this still the limit? Well, it’s still a long enough development, though.”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who was floating next to him, nodded. Even in the midst of exhaustion, Lee Ji-hye retorted bluntly.

“How many times have I ever used my power to such a maximum power. The one cooked is also a water craftsman.”

“You have to get used to it. After entering the Gonggyeong Retardation, physical strengthening almost reaches the limit. If you want to make a powerful attack, you have no choice but to push it with aerodynamics.”

“However, we should not neglect how to handle it delicately.”

"of course. A guy who just shoots and waits to say he has infinite power is not a true unmanned person.”

“I have a long way to go.”

She sighed, but Lee Ji-hye's face was bright.

After 100 days of being taught by Cha Shin Hyeon, she has succeeded in reaching the state of gongyeong!

Considering that after returning to Earth, she trained alone for nearly 10 years, the level she raised was only 3. Hundreds of times faster than normal.

It was possible because her teacher was Cha Shin Hyeon. She is at a level where it must be said that she forcibly raised her state.

“I’m glad it turned out well, though. If it wasn't for you, you'd only let the hard work die and it wouldn't have had any effect."

“… Wasn't this a proven training method?"

“Casting them into a dead ground is a traditional training method that has the greatest effect as much as the probability of death. It's just that I've never rolled this far."“… I'm so glad. because it works To be honest, it was such a strong training that I hated Shin Hyeon.”

If he can fight until everything runs out and recover without any after-effects, Mu-in has no reason to do so. The problem is that if you fight that fiercely, you will almost always have serious side effects.

But with Cha Shin Hyeon, I don't have to worry about that. Since her skill gap is so great, it wasn't a big deal to push her to the edge of her precipice, and when she loses her power, she fills her up, and when she gets injured, she heals her.

Thanks to this, Lee Ji-hye crossed the dead line more than ten times a day, repeating her consumption and recovery. Even if she hates her, she has no choice but to roll when her Cha Shin Hyeon rolls.

With a little exaggeration, she was getting one gig every hour. This is why I was forced to increase my skills.

If there is one side effect, it is that even if the body is fully recovered, the mind is not... Jihye Lee was able to follow her until the end by holding onto her mentality. Teenage masters are not made of foam.

“But in the end, it’s a happy ending, isn’t it?”

"Sure. It is a grace that will never be repaid even in a lifetime. Oh, of course, since the time you saved me.”

“She didn’t expect anything in return, so she just has to be lazy just because she has entered the public domain. Even in the same level 70s, Yangcheng and Alex are much higher than you.”

“Shin Hyeon is above me, is there any way I can play? He has to work harder as much as he paid attention to.”

Lee Ji-hye smiled at her.

Cha Shin Hyeon also smiled.

She's not the only one who's grown in three months.

Although the level displayed on the status window did not rise - he was at full level - his willpower was refined more firmly than before. He himself could feel the difference.

He still hasn't reached the level of completion he envisioned, but this was a satisfactory achievement.

If someone other than Lee Ji-hye had been the subject of training, I wouldn't have put so much effort into using the sword so carefully.

If I had to pick more, it would be about her younger sister, but her sister's martial arts skills were too low to touch the Shim Sword.

"perhaps… … .”

at that time.

Cha Shin Hyeon was awakened by the natural presence of the senses.

“Maybe what?”

"Nope. Rather, your secretary has come.”

Turning around, Cha Shin Hyeon held out her hand. He tilted his head for a moment, but without questioning any more, Lee Ji-hye took his hand. I've done it many times, so I'm not shy.

Without even a moment to feel the flow of magic, Cha Shin Hyeon completed the magic in an instant.

Pot!

Two people who leaped into space appeared in front of the entrance.

Likewise, Oh Dong-hwan was no longer surprised because he had seen it many times. He nodded and apologized.

“What’s going on?”

“I have an urgent call. To be precise, Cha Shin Hyeon.”

Oh Dong-hwan answered Lee Ji-hye's question. She naturally turned to Cha Shin Hyeon and he finished speaking.

“This is a request for assistance from Hawaii.”

* * *

Hawaii, to be precise, the island of Oahu, where the state capital Honolulu is located, and Jeju Island have many things in common. It is a volcanic island with a similar area and is popular as a tourist destination.

In addition to these geographical commonalities, there were similarities in the eyes of the hunter industry.

The point is that there are a lot of high-risk dungeons strangely compared to the area, and there are high-risk dungeons that have a dungeon break.

Alex had been staying in Honolulu for over three months. All other small problems can be solved without his involvement. His earthly task was solely for hemolysis.

He didn't go anywhere, and the earnestly waiting (?) was worthwhile.

At around 4 PM, as soon as he heard the news that an anomaly was occurring in the dungeon, he took the measures he had prepared.

Contact Cha Shin Hyeon immediately, and evacuate civilians near the entrance to the dungeon where the anomaly occurs. This was a necessary measure because there is no guarantee that the person who will jump out will always be friendly.

He placed hunters at each entrance to defend himself, and he was the only person in the dungeon other than those who came in and out to see the situation in between. Weak subordinates only become burdens.

"damn… … .”

And inside the dungeon, Alex was feeling serious anxiety.

“What the hell is going on!”

It is a well-known fact that earthquake-like phenomena occur in dungeons where fusion occurs.

However, since Alex entered this dungeon now, he has experienced earthquakes more than ten times. If he takes it as it is, it makes sense that more than ten dungeons have been merged here.

The secretary, who kept going in and out of the dungeon to report whenever there was an incident, kept asking only bad news.

“Earthquakes are being detected in dungeons all over Oahu. It seems that convergence is occurring simultaneously.”

“It’s not just once or twice that I’ve only felt in this place.”

“So maybe… I wonder if all the dungeons are clinging to each other around this place... … .”

“I’m going crazy.”

Alex clasped his face.

“I heard that a crack can only be crossed if it is large, but are you going to call the size of these cracks and those cracks together? No. I said that it is a part that cannot be touched artificially... Was it originally meant to be like this?”

“Me, and me.”

To him who was reasoning and muttering alone, the secretary carefully spoke to him.

“Is there any other bad news?”

“I’m sorry, but yes. Didn't I tell you earlier that dungeon fusion is happening all over the island?"

"However?"

“It also contains high-risk dungeons.”

“What, what?”

Alex widened his eyes.

“Isn’t fusion only happening in the dungeon where the break occurred? Aren't the high-risk dungeons other than this one on break?”

“I don't know why either. Did the break happen without realizing it, or did the fusion happen without a break? What is certain is that earthquakes occurred in five other high-risk dungeons besides this one.”

“Hey, then… It's almost magical here, isn't it? Since six high-risk ones are combined with dozens of medium-risk and low-risk ones, isn’t it okay to call it a monster safari?”

Alex didn't respond to Alex's question.

“How about the entrance to each dungeon?”

“There are a few places that have disappeared, but many remain.”

"I'm glad it's gone. Pay more attention to security, and if anything happens, report it right away.”

"all right."

The salute secretary left the dungeon.

Alone, Alex sighed deeply.

No further earthquakes occurred for more than 30 minutes. The things to be fused are all fused. The secretary didn't come in anywhere else to see if there was any problem right away.

As Alex grows increasingly anxious over the unsettling peace like the calm before the storm.

sting.

A thrilling power was felt from afar.

From a distance that would otherwise have been impossible to reach, a vast, tangible magical force could be seen soaring into the sky like a pillar.

"what… … .”It is said that he himself can reach the level of communism and deal with infinite aggression, but the total amount is infinite, but there is a limit to the output that can be produced at one time.

And the amount of that magic power... He surpasses the level of the Dragon Blood Captain who produced similar output to himself. To be honest, if you go from power to power, this is the sound of being pushed back.

Indeed, he was such a monster that he could not easily come over to Earth. Alex bit his lip.

Baba Baba Bak!

The pillar of magical power that reached the sky shattered into thousands of pieces. The magical power, transformed into countless rays, spread out in all directions and covered the sky like a net.

Not knowing what he was trying to do, Alex was staring endlessly up at him, while the net that covered the sky slowly melted away.

and.

The beings who have crossed the dimension have approached him at a speed that is neither fast nor slow. He showed off his presence as if he had no intention of hiding it, so he couldn't be ignorant.

Finally they caught Alex's sight.

About twice as large as the one we've seen before. A little more delicate dragon hair. Long neck, slender body and limbs reminiscent of a lizard, and a long tail. Big wings resembling a bat.

Except for its small size, it is quite similar to the dragon that is often depicted. Rather, it was a monster with a more familiar (?) appearance than the ones that appeared before.

The problem is not their appearance.

As they were called ‘thes’, the existence that came into Alex’s sight was not singular but plural.

"three… … .”

Alex groaned.

If the performance I saw earlier was done by myself, if there are three individuals with such abilities, the probability of winning a fight converges to zero.

However, it was impossible to run away without encountering them. Taking a deep breath, Alex cleared his mind.

flutter.

The three upper dragon blood that flew down folded their wings and landed in front of Alex. Three elephants the size of an elephant are standing still, obscuring the entire view.

Jiying!

A wave of yaw force, which was generated in an endless stream, surrounds the surroundings. Alex hurriedly raised his aggression and took a defensive stance, but he did not have the energy to attack.

“You are the only one who is qualified to speak in this whole small space.”

Not telepathically, but by nurturing, the unknown language was delivered directly to Alex. After a moment's hesitation, Alex regained his composure after hearing Cha Shin Hyeon's interpreting magic.

“If it’s something you knew in advance and was waiting for, it’s safe to say that you know about us.”

"exactly. you... … .”

Alex was just about to tell the story.

"Previously."

The dragon blood, which was different from the first one, stopped Alex's words.

“A few months ago, five of my people set foot through this very portal. And then I couldn't come back. Do you know about it?”

“… I do know.”

“Good.”

Madness flashed in the dragon's eyes.

“Then you won’t feel sorry for me.”

"what?"

“Pay your due price for your sins, Mimul.”
