Return To Level Up

Chapter 85

The dungeon attack continued very smoothly after that.

Everyone followed Ha-jin Kang’s instructions well, so there was no noise.

Kang Ha-jin has been hunting alone for a long time, but doing it with a group of people after a long time is fun, and things that he had forgotten came to mind one by one.

Hajin Kang’s buff definitely had a great corner.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that the difference in combat power before and after receiving the buff was double.

In the meantime, the proficiency had risen a lot, so the two seals were unlocked.

[Dragon’s Blessing (A)][Increases all stats by at least 5% and up to 50%. Increases ATK and DEF by at least 10% and up to 100%. Increases additional abilities by a minimum of 20% and a maximum of 150%. The increase rate and duration depend on the skill level.]

As all the seals were released, attack power, defense power, and additional abilities could be raised.

The current proficiency level was about half.

The stats were about 30%, the attack power and defense were about 40%, and finally the additional stats were about 50% higher.

Additional stats were various stats that were not displayed in the status window. For example, critical hit probability, critical hit attack power, and attack speed or sense were included.

So, how strong would it be if all of this came at once?

Currently, those who hunt with Ha-jin Kang are strongly addicted to buffs.

When the buff ran out, anxiety surged at once, and sometimes even trembled.

He was addicted to a drug-like buff.

In the meantime, if the body is injured, a healing bomb explodes, sweeping away the nearby undead and healing them.

In such a situation, who dares to resist Kang Ha-jin?

He was ready to pretend to die if he died.

Hwang Soo-young could not hide her tired expression as she watched the awakening process being tamed next to Ha-jin Kang.

‘What are these people going to do later?’

Once you’re addicted to Hajin Kang’s buff, it’s really hard to get out of it.

That was experienced by Hwang Soo-young herself, so she could say it with confidence.

The buffs of the past were far short of what they are now.

Even so, they suffered from withdrawal symptoms, so now they are terrified.

‘Slowly, I’m in danger too.’

Hajin Kang’s buff is not only given to other awakened people. Hwang Soo-young was also constantly receiving buffs.

Perhaps for a while this buff will come up and hunting will be difficult.

Hwang Soo-young secretly sighed as she looked at the Awoken members of Dungeon Breaker who were already addicted.

Then he vowed to take care of them for a while.

* * *

The size of the dungeon was not very large.

However, the difficulty was considerable compared to the size.

A curse was imbued with the attacks of the undead that appeared once.

If it is not healed in time, it will eventually fall under the metallurgical curse and lead to bankruptcy.

Also, everyone had great combat experience. The specs were strong.

And I wore my hair.

They dug traps, used lures, and formed formations and attempted systematic attacks.

I tried a lot of different strategies and tactics to attack the Awoken, but if it wasn’t them, but other Awoken people, I would have been in trouble.

There was a commander entity on the undead side, and they were also a problem.

He was incredibly strong, and even had an escort force to escort the commander.

They come out with timely tactics because of their various classes, but they are really tricky guys.

However, there was Hajin Kang, the natural enemy of the undead.

Heals allies through various buffs as well as healing skills and blows away the undead.

In addition, he was the owner of various auxiliary skills that could immediately break the curse.

Not only that, he was also very good at commanding and fighting multiple Awoken.

Lastly, Hajin Kang was the strongest among all the Awoken here.

So, no matter how wild the undead corps ran, there was nothing they could do.

The undead corps was gradually destroyed by Hajin Kang.

So, after organizing most of the undead, we arrived at the large castle at the end of the dungeon.

This was the last course of this itinerary.

A black castle stood tall in a world that was all gray.

Unusual magic power was constantly flowing out of the castle. It was the very magic that flowed in this dungeon world. The dark and dark magic of death.

“You must have seen the monsters over there, right? It’s really big.”

Hwang Soo-young said that and made a tired expression. There was nothing around the castle.

But from what I’ve been through so far, it might not be that there isn’t really anything.

If you approached that castle, there was a high possibility that a huge number of undead would arise in the surrounding land.

“That castle is the core of this dungeon.”

Hwang Soo-young looked at him in surprise at Ha-jin Kang’s words.

“Is that the core of the dungeon?”

Hwang Soo-young turned her gaze back to the castle and looked at it for a long time. Then he immediately nodded his head.

“Certainly… it could be.”

The other Awakened people still lacked a sense of magic. But Hwang Soo-young was not like that.

Like Gaia’s chosen one, she was very talented with magic. She doesn’t know if it’s something Gaia gave her or if it’s her ability she originally had.

Hwang Soo-young knew for sure that she was constantly emitting magical energy from the castle.

She didn’t even realize that it was the magic that she was now filling this dungeon with, but she said.

So I was able to agree with Hajin Kang’s words that that place was the core of the dungeon.

Hwang Soo-young, who nodded her head, was startled.

“Then do we have to destroy the whole castle?”

When she asked Ha-jin as she looked at Ha-jin with her round eyes, Ha-jin Kang smirked.

“Are you good at breaking things? If you run out of magic potions, I’ll give you as many as you want, so let’s smash them with fire.”

“OMG.”

Hwang Soo-young looked at Kang Ha-jin and her black castle alternately with an absurd expression.

But then she let out a deep sigh.

She realized that she was the only one who could do it.

“I see. You can do it, if you do.”

Kang Ha-jin looked at Hwang Soo-young like that and smiled. And she turned her gaze and she looked at the black castle.

Suddenly, his eyes changed.

The boss of this dungeon lives in that castle.

The one who commands all the skeletons that fill the dungeon world, the Skeleton King.

Of course it’s incredibly strong.

“The operation is… while I’m dealing with the boss, Hwang Soo-young destroys the castle, and the rest clean up the other monsters.”

At those words, except for Hwang Soo-young, the rest of the awakened looked anxious.

“As long as you stay in the castle, the buff will be given immediately. Instead, treatment can be a little difficult. Because the boss isn’t a good guy either.”

Then one of the Awoken stepped forward and said cautiously.

“Uh… honestly, if the black knights Kang Ha-jin and Hwang Soo-young were dealing with while they came here, it would be impossible for us to deal with it.”

Ha-jin Kang nodded her head as if he knew everything, and he continued.

“And no matter how buff it is, if there are skeleton mages mixed in, it will be very difficult to fight.”

Hajin Kang nodded again.

“You don’t have to worry. There are only skeletons in that castle.”

“Yes? Is that really?”

If so, it was worth a try. To be honest, if it was about getting buffed and fighting a skeleton, I was confident I could do it all day.

“Instead, there are quite a few, so please be sure. I don’t want skeletons to come near me or Hwang Soo-young.”

The Awoken nodded their heads in unison.

“Just leave it to me. We will definitely do that.”

Only if the buff is certain. I couldn’t even add it to the end. But he was sure he knew enough.

“Okay then, let’s go finish it.”

Ha-jin Kang took the lead and ran, and the rest of the people followed.

I was worried about what would happen if there were skeletons hiding around the castle, but fortunately that didn’t happen.

Instead, the gates were closed.

When Kang Ha-jin glanced at Hwang Soo-young, Hwang Soo-young quickly increased her speed as if he knew.

Ha-jin Kang gave a buff to Su-yeong Hwang, who was constantly hitting forward.

Hwang Soo-young wrote [Strength] and then cast [One Point Detonation] on his spear.

Her spear was specially made by Yoo Dong-hoon. Since the ability to amplify the power of the skill was attached, the power of the one-point blast became much more powerful.

Soon Hwang Soo-young threw her spear towards the gate.

Aaaaaaaaah!

The gates were torn apart with a tremendous explosion and blown away.

Hajin Kang jumped into it.

A huge number of skeletons were gathered inside the castle gate, but Hajin Kang broke through it and ran in a straight line.

Curl rumble!

Kang Ha-jin’s body and her thunderbolts fell in all directions.

The skeletons that were swept away by the lightning collapsed.

Ha-jin Kang, who made a straight path like that and went all the way into the castle, filled the vacant place of the awakened people who followed.

“Fuck! What are so many!”

Awakened people were terrified when they saw the number of skeletons in the castle.

The thought of fighting these guys made me feel like someone was tightening my heart.

Buffs poured over their heads.

There was no more time to think, ponder, and worry. The Awoken formed the previously promised formation and started fighting all at once.

While each wielding a weapon and using a skill, they constantly spit out swear words.

Do you think this is too much to do?

So the last battle in the dungeon began.

* * *

Hajin Kang took a long breath as he watched the gigantic skeleton collapsing.

She barely managed to win until she even wrote [She’s a Thunderbolt].

“He has changed too.”

It wasn’t just the Skeleton King that came out before the return.

According to the information confirmed, it was a Skeleton Emperor.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The description was attached as a being who was loyal to the Seven Skeleton Kings.

There are a lot of things that change, so I thought it was just that.

Fortunately, I didn’t bring the Seven Skeleton Kings.

If the Skeleton King had added seven more, he would probably have to cross the threshold of death or die.

When the Skeleton Emperor died, he left behind two jewels.

One was the jewel in the middle of the crown, and the other was the jewel in the heart.

Since the crown was also made of bones, all of them were broken at the moment of death, but only the jewels were intact.

What was in the heart was the Skeleton Emperor’s Manastone.

If converted into grades, it is probably a Manastone that will be at least Grade 9. Of course it could be more.

However, the jewels in the crown were not magic stones.

[Marbas’s Promise][Proof of the contract Marvas made with the Skeleton Emperor and Kyindar.]

Marbas’ promise came out again. The content is a little different.

Again, if it was different from before the return, there was always a trace of Marbas’ intervention.

It was as if I had planned everything and programmed it, but as the situation changed, it felt like putting something else into it.

Unlike the one given to the king of cloud eagles, this promise did not contain any power.

He also said that he was a token of a contract, not a promise.

When I focused on the contract, it turned out that it was a contract to free me from the power.

‘So, it seems that this dungeon was the last mission.’

Hajin Kang took two jewels, put them in the subspace, and went out.

Even though the Skeleton Emperor had disappeared, the Skeletons were still running rampant.

Also, Hwang Soo-young was still destroying the castle.

Kang Ha-jin looked at them and smiled.

To be honest, they really helped a lot this time.

Each time Hwang Soo-young destroyed the castle, the strength of the Skeleton Emperor decreased little by little.

Apparently, the boss is linked to the dungeon core, so it affects them.

Also, because none of the skeletons came near me, I was able to fight really comfortably.

Now that they received their help, it was Ha-jin Kang’s turn to help them.

Ha-jin Kang drank his magical potion, and gave him intense electric shocks in both hands.

And he rushed towards the group of skeletons.

Curl rumble!

As if it had become a single ray of lightning, Ha-jin Kang started walking around smashing the group of skeletons.
