Return To Level Up

Mikhail looked down at the hordes of monsters in the distance with tired eyes.

Now they were on a high hill. Thanks to this, my field of vision was clear and I was able to see from a distance.

The problem was that all he could see was monsters.

“Uh… no matter how you look at it, it seems like there are too many?”

It took only 2 hours to get here.

Ha-jin Kang at first started walking and then started running, but it ran just enough for the weak Awakenings of Russia to endure.

After running for 2 hours like that, it spread all over, but the Guardian's guild members took out the potion from the subspace and ate the potion and became alive again.

It was a potion that boosted the stamina that had run out. Also, my mind was lifted a bit.

But when I looked down at the hordes of monsters from the top of the hill, my morale plummeted.

The number of visible monsters seemed to be tens of thousands.

I didn't know that the huge group of monsters Kang Ha-jin was talking about was talking about this size.

"Can we... fight those monsters?"

At Mikhail's words, Hajin Kang looked at him with an expression as if he was asking what he meant.

“It’s relatively small, so it shouldn’t be too difficult.”

"Yes? Is that small?”

“It’s still close to the entrance. If you go deeper, you'll find hordes of monsters that are ten times as large.”

A cold sweat broke out on Mikhail's forehead.

“Tenfold? The monsters you see over there are likely to be in the tens of thousands... We only have 1,100.

Mathematically, that means you have to deal with dozens of monsters per person.

Of course, a strong Awakener might be able to do that.

However, among those 1,100 Awoken, there were also many Awoken who could not guarantee victory even if they fought the one monster below.

“If you fight, your level will go up and you will gain experience, so it’s okay.”

It didn't seem like it would, but Mikhail couldn't shake his head.

It was because Hajin Kang's eyes were burning so frighteningly.

He was momentarily overwhelmed by Ha-jin Kang's atmosphere.

“Come on, let’s start slowly.”

At Ha-jin Kang's words, the Guardians were accustomed to preparing for battle. Each of them drew their weapons and stood up to charge.

And on top of that, various buffs were poured.

Hajin Kang's buffs were equally poured into the Russian Awakening Forces.

Kang Ha-jin's buff, which has been strengthened several times in the meantime, and has risen to proficiency, boasts tremendous efficiency, was so great that the moment he received it, he lost his mind.

“Hey, this is...!”

In particular, Mikhail's surprise was enormous.

The moment he received the buff, he thought that he might be able to win this battle.

“Come on, I don’t have time, so let’s go.”

The Guardians started charging first, then Mikhail followed in the ice.

And a thousand Awoken Russians ran away with great excitement.

They couldn't control the power that was boiling all over their body.

He soon collided with a horde of monsters.

It was a semi-surprise attack, so a part of the monster horde was torn down.

“Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!”

Roars poured out everywhere. The monsters sensed the presence of the Awakened and ran towards them.

That was when the real fight began.

Mikhail frantically fought the monster.

Buffs kept coming in for a single moment, so he could concentrate on fighting.

From the moment he started fighting, he even forgot that he was supposed to lead the Russian Awoken troops.

He simply surrendered himself to the battle.

Blood splattered all over his body. No matter how great of a buff he received, he had to fight so many monsters that he couldn't help but get injured.

But at that moment, a pure white light exploded nearby.

It was a healing bomb.

Mikhail grinned as he felt the wounds on his body disappear and his stamina and energy returned.

He remembered what Kang Ha-jin had said earlier. He was fighting like crazy now.

And it was the same with other Russian Awakeners.

It was his first experience in his life.

* * *

The Guardians were a little different from the Russian Awakened. No, it was very different.

He had been working with Ha-jin Kang for a long time in the first place, so he knew better than anyone how to use buffs and healing.

Also, he knew very well how to link it to create greater efficiency and create greater destructive power.

There were no monsters left in the place where the Guardians swept away.

The monsters we were dealing with now were relatively weak in this dungeon, so the battle itself wasn't very difficult.

They were told in advance before entering the dungeon.

Until the fifth battle, it was said that it was for the adaptation of the Russian awakening.

So I fought as far away as possible from the Awakened Russia.

These monsters cannot all be dealt with by the Awakened Russia, so the number must be greatly reduced.

The Guardians fought just that much.

So the first battle ended.

* * *

Mikhail and other awakened Russians were lying on the floor, panting.

A sense of exaltation and achievement enveloped her body.

I don't know how many levels I've raised in one fight. In addition, the combat experience gained through this battle was valuable that money could not buy.

"How is it? Would this be worth doing?”

In response to Ha-jin Kang's question, Mikhail forced himself to stand up, grinned and nodded his head.

“It was a really great experience. Maybe… I thought that I could close this dungeon.”

Kang Ha-jin's eyes lit up slightly at those words.

Mikhail also seemed to have decided that the dungeon was difficult to close.

“Did you think it would be difficult to close the dungeon?”

Mikhail's expression hardened.

“Rather than difficult, I honestly thought it was impossible.”

“Is there a reason?”

“First of all, it’s too big. We have to explore this dungeon all in time, deal with monsters, and break the core, which I didn’t think would be possible.”

That assumption turned to certainty, especially after seeing the hordes of monsters they had just fought.

If there are countless hordes of monsters like that, it would be impossible to close the dungeon, no matter what country helps.

However, after receiving the buff from Ha-jin Kang, that thought has changed.

“Okay, now that we’ve rested enough, let’s head to the next game.”

"Yes? Already? I took a break for 10 minutes now...”

“Unless there is anything else to do, rest is 10 minutes.”

Mikhail stared blankly at Kang Ha-jin.

But he couldn't stay. Because I really started with the Guardian.

Mikhail got up hastily, trained the Russian awakenings, got them up and set off.

He had no choice but to hurry, fearing that he would lose the Guardians if it was too late.

The success or failure of this dungeon hunting depended only on the Guardians.

If they missed them, the Russian Awoken Army was over.

As Mikhail followed, Ha-jin Kang increased his speed as if waiting.

The Russian Awoken had to grit their teeth and follow them.

So I met the second group of monsters.

There were far more monsters swarming than the first.

Mikhail felt as if his mind was soaring high into the sky at the sensation of the buff that entered his body.

And he was afraid at the same time. It was because of the sensation of being forced to draw out the remaining strength and energy in the body.

Anyway, the fight started, and the Russian Awoken showed a bit more progress than when they fought the first horde of monsters.

So he went on to subdue the hordes of monsters one after another.

The faces of Mikhail and the Russian Awakenings grew a little pale each time.

* * *

“Is that a drone?”

"Yes."

Mikhail stared at the drone in front of Kang Ha-jin with surprised eyes.

“Does this really work?”

It was natural for Mikhail to react like this. Because he never had an easy problem using electronic equipment inside the dungeon.

Of course, not all dungeons had electronic equipment.

In some dungeons, electronic equipment works smoothly.

A typical example is public dungeons.

Anyway, by the way, the real thing was this new type dungeon.

In the new type dungeon, the electronic equipment becomes stale,

It wasn't all just being eaten. As soon as it gets eaten, it breaks down.

But it's a drone.

“If you have something like this, write it down beforehand.”

“There is a limit to the operating time.”

Mikhail looked at the drone with curious eyes. He looked like he was really working when he talked about working hours.

“I am writing this briefly to check the outline of the dungeon. Come on, let’s check it out together.”

At Ha-jin Kang's words, Mikhail looked at the three-dimensional hologram that appeared in front of her with curious eyes.

The screen taken by the drone's camera appeared as a hologram.

“This is not an electronic device.”

"Yes? What is that…”

Magical power revolved around the drone. And the drone popped up.

Mikhail's eyes widened at the sight of the drone soaring high in the sky in an instant.

He wasn't the kind of drone you'd normally think of.

“Now, look at the screen.”

It was like a map when the screen shot from a high place unfolded three-dimensionally.

A very expansive map unfolded. There was no end in sight.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

And I saw a horde of monsters filling up the map.

Mikhail was at a loss for words.

How many hordes of monsters he'd hunted so far, he was fed up with so many left.

“I can’t use it for a long time, so I’ll check it out quickly.”

As soon as Ha-jin Kang’s words fell, the drone flew at a much faster speed.

The three-dimensional screen changed quickly according to the drone's path.

Mikhail was shocked to see it.

The hordes of monsters we've dealt with so far are just the tip of the iceberg. There were still a huge horde of monsters left.

That was not all.

Separated monsters were also scattered everywhere.

There were also a bunch of little monsters scattered here and there.

But I didn't really care about that. Because there were too many huge hordes of monsters.

“Can you really organize all of this?”

Mikhail said in a skeptical voice. And the faces of some Awakened people who were watching the screen from behind turned pale.

Morale, which had been soaring with successive victories, dropped to the bottom again.

Kang Ha-jin was not worried.

You'll lose your morale right away, but once you jump into the horde again, you'll have no choice but to fight.

Soon after, the drone crashed.

Even then, the drone had not reached the end of the dungeon.

“It’s a really big dungeon.”

Mikhail muttered with a pale face. He definitely understood. That this dungeon can never be closed.

Perhaps it would have been possible if all the awakened people around the world had gathered their strength to help?

'Maybe that would have been possible...'

I thought that maybe that was the answer to this disaster.

“Okay, now that we have rested enough, let’s start again.”

At Ha-jin Kang’s words, the faces of Mikhail and the Russian awakening turned pale.

They had a much greater fear on their faces than when they just watched the drone footage.

I was more afraid of the hunting of the strong Ha-jin, who was rushing to the extent that his physical, magical, and mental powers reached the limit right away than the monsters who still do not know how many there might be.

Because that was the reality right in front of us.

“Now, seeing the video earlier, I believe you have roughly checked the locations of the monsters. Strike from the nearest one. Start!"

Hajin Kang ran quickly.

And the Guardians followed.

Mikhail's stomach churned at the sight he had seen dozens of times over and over again.

Perhaps he thought that he might be over the limit while fighting again.

Another limit that has already been crossed five times.

Mikhail and the Russian Awakened were half weeping and running hard, following the Guardian's farther away.
