nChapter 107: Dungeon Destruction (2)

nThe message window came out of nowhere.

nThe Awakened who saw it were puzzled.

n-The dungeon barrier located in Saudi Arabia has been broken.

nThe barrier will take 30 days to recover.

n“What is this?”

n“Barrier?”

n“Isn’t there a dungeon in Saudi Arabia?”

nThe Awakened were able to figure out the meaning of the message. There were all types of comments from the Awakened community, including some credible views.

n-There is no need to enter the dungeon to take care of the creatures.

n-Previously all physical attacks didn’t work in the dungeon. That barrier blocking it is now gone?

nThe government dispatched troops to the dungeon in Saudi Arabia and received news that firepower worked.

n-The dungeon is collapsing!

n-No way! You mean it is true? It wasn’t CG?

n-Oh my god. The creatures have come pouring out! It is like they are terrified!

n-Baby! Are we going to just watch? Now if the time for the Heroes to take action!

nThe Awakened felt hope as they saw the dungeon crumbling. All their suffering had finally paid off.

nThe crowd of Awakened started moving. Some were gunning for the benefits within the dungeon, but the emphasis was placed on ‘destruction.’

n* * *

nI heard the news a little late.

n24 hours a day was insufficient to manage the dungeon’s internal affairs and work out the mess with the Tree of Origin.

nLee Sarang solved the issue, but there were still many things to worry about.

nI only knew about the situation after Krasla went outside.

n“The barrier is broken? It must be Paka Griolli’s dungeon.”

n“That’s right.”

nKrasla raised his chin and confirmed it.

n‘It can’t be a coincidence. Did Infinite Flesh eat the barrier?’

nI moved him outside. If not, the barrier in my dungeon probably would have been the one that was destroyed.

nIn the first place…wasn’t it difficult for the angels to slash at the barrier? I hadn’t expected that Infinite Flesh would destroy it so quickly.

n“The South Korean guilds are also moving. In particular, the Devil Hunters raid group that had some success in the dungeon forays.”

n“The barrier is gone so the dungeon is vulnerable. But…it is reckless.”

nThe exterior of the dungeon and its contents were different, but they were linked to each other. The barrier had disappeared, so the dungeon floors would be compressed. For example, the original 30 floors would be reduced to three. This difference was really huge. In addition, there was a difference in the movements of the creatures.

nAfter the barrier was restored, the dungeon would take three months to recover.

nHowever, the level of each Awakened wasn’t that high. It would be easy in 4~5 years, but right now, they would be exterminated.

nPakan Griolli. He was still a duke.

nI thought of a number of variables before opening my mouth.

n“I’m going to move. Be prepared.”

n“The people will follow Master.”

nKrasla hurriedly kneeled down.

n* * *

nPakan Griolli.

nOne of the dukes belonging to Grand Duke Upa’s faction.

nHis personality was aggressive and easily excited. After being deserted by Grand Duke Upa after the auction incident, he had been thinking of how stupid he was.

nOf course, he could increase his investments in the dungeon due to being denied entry to the Demon World Auction. He got quite a few accomplishments due to that. The quality of his creatures wasn’t bad. Rather, it seemed like he belonged to one of the leading groups.

nThere was just one problem.

nInfinite Flesh.

nHe was simple and moved in slow patterns but had superior stamina. Pakan Griolli sacrificed thousands of creatures in order to get rid of it. It was reminiscent of a slime but the stamina and size couldn’t be compared.

nAs a result, it took two months to kill him. 24 hours. He didn’t rest for even one second. Pakan never imagined that it would be so hard to attack.

nBut the damage was too severe. In addition, he used all the points he collected. He even failed to keep the barrier.

nPakan Griolli felt like the situation was urgent. He wouldn’t be able to stop other demons from invading. But this? The humans unexpectedly started attacking.

n“These damn humans!”

nPakan Griolli ground his teeth together.

n-The exterior wall of the dungeon has been destroyed!

nThe 37 floor dungeon has been reduced to four floors. 671 creatures have died from the overlapping spaces. The creatures are confused and have started to escape from the dungeon.

nKung! Kukukung!

nThe dungeon shook relentlessly.

nKiik! Kieeek!

nDue to the barrier disappearing, the authority of the Dungeon Core had weakened. The creatures with low intelligence were forced out of the dungeon.

nPakan Griolli clenched his fists with rage.

n“These mere humans…!”

nThe weak. They would already be gone if it wasn’t for his mercy!

nHe used his creatures to completely destroy the powerful weapons that the humans used. He lost a lot of creatures but he was still a duke. The number of creatures was sufficient for ordinary human opponents.

nBut that wasn’t the end.

nHe destroyed the firepower but a large number of Awakened started moving. They were constantly striking. The Awakened gathered from various parts of the world starting moving towards his dungeon.

nIt would be okay if it was just the Awakened. They were just ordinary humans carrying weapons. The soldiers from South Korea were different.

nIf the barrier was functioning normally then products of modern civilization would be useless in the dungeon…the barrier was now gone so the magic power wasn’t working properly. The weak creatures died before the various weapons. The strong creatures were unable to cope with the vast majority of attacks.

nSwept away!

nThe humans reached the 2nd floor in a few days. There was still the 3rd floor and he was waiting on the 4th floor.

n“I will kill all of you!”

nPakan Griolli growled out fiercely.

n* * *

n“Slowly move forward. Protect the soldiers.”

nThe Awakened from all over the world. Among them was Heaven’s Will from South Korea. They wore magic jewellery to communicate with each other.

nThe United States and China followed behind them. There were some complaints but it was unavoidable since Devil Hunters was the most famous raid group.

nThis was a dungeon. They had to stick together. And a leader was needed. A tacit agreement occurred.

nOf course, there were many Awakened who refused to obey commands from Heaven’s Will. Now those Awakened were screaming from all over the place.

n“The captain of Devil Hunters…I heard that he died? Now it is just a mere raid group. Shouldn’t those from China be leading?”

n“That’s right. Only the semblance of the raid group is leading us? How funny!”

nAnd there were people complaining who ignored the screams. In particular, the ones from China were really noisy. They wanted to use this opportunity to take down a dungeon. The black society didn’t want to lose to South Korea.

nThe black society wanted to take the lead.

n“What…? Only a semblance?”

nYoo Eun-hye couldn’t tolerate it anymore and complained to the guild master of Heaven’s Will, Kim Yong-woo.

n“Quiet! It isn’t good to argue inside a dungeon. We need to be united in this place. Please don’t cause an argument.”

nThe division continued. It was a long-awaited opportunity to surpass Heaven’s Will.

nKim Yong-woo had a lot of worries after the death of the captain of Devil Hunters. He was able to maintain his presence as guild master due to that existence. But the people twisted around him like hyenas once the captain of Devil Hunters died. He had to run every day. There was also strong pressure from outside.

n‘I am lacking.’

nHe inwardly laughed bitterly.

nKim Yong-woo wasn’t strong. There were stronger people overflowing in the guild. They were obviously greedy for the position of guild master.

nIn this society, preferences were given to the strong. The weak were left behind…Kim Yong-woo was barely hanging on.

n‘I have to use this opportunity to resurrect myself. I need to survive in Heaven’s Will.’

nHe could redeem himself right now.

nDestroying the dungeon! He needed to be the leader of this task. Then he would gain greater power for himself. He needed to control all movements.

nFailure? He didn’t want to imagine it. There were those trying to pull him down.

nDevil Hunters discovering the dwarf village on the 7th floor was a great accomplishment, but he was likely to lose all that influence if this was a failure.

nHowever, the black society was still noisy.

n“Bah! The guild master is a scarecrow.”

n“…Be careful with your mouth. Now isn’t the time to find faults with each other.”

n“What? Are you accusing me of something? If you’re not scared then open your mouth!”

nHahaha!

nThey were obviously full of derision. Kim Yong-woo felt desperate. He pushed down his anger. He couldn’t dance to their tune.

n“This isn’t the place. Or have you gone crazy from losing so many lives? At any rate, these guys…”

nBut the other South Korean guilds didn’t tolerate it. In particular, the Mithril Guild consisted of many young people without any patience.

nJapan and the United States were quiet but secretly jumped on the bandwagon. They stared at the Chinese.

nAll members of the black society laughed.

n“Watch your mouths. Do you want to fight?”

n“Hey, you don’t have anything to say so you want to settle it with violence?”

nThe guilds confronted each other.

n“Stop!”

nKim Yong-woo squeezed in between then while sighing inwardly.

nThey needed to help each other instead of fighting…the future was dark.

nThis was only the 2nd floor but more creatures would appear.

nKururung!

nKung! Kung!

nAnd his prediction was correct.

nTwin head ogres. Cerberus.

nDozens of ice trolls…and hundreds of other creatures.

n“You dare invade my dungeon! Humans! Don’t even think about leaving here alive!”

nPakan Griolli was in the centre.

n
