n89. Lord is going to a Dungeon

n“The subordinate monsters will soon come swarming around. I’ll take care of everything, so don’t get caught up in it. Do you understand?”

n“Oh… Yes!”

nJeong Seon-kyung smiled wryly and grabbed her sword. She released the Karma she had been suppressing at once. A vast and dense Karma swept through the cave like a typhoon.

nHit!

nCrash!

nWalls and floors cracked, and stones splattered wildly. Its purpose was to remove hidden traps.

n‘Some traps should be broken with this.’

n“Gasp, gasp!”

n“Ugh…”

nRegardless of their intentions, the hunters became contemplative. When confronted with the power of an S-class hunter in front of them, their bodies reacted first.

n“By the way, is it okay to send Hunter Ko Byeong-gap alone?”

nOh Yeon-woo was sweating profusely and barely spoke. Jeong Seon-kyung lit her cigarette and looked back.

n“Why? Are you worried?”

n“Well… a little…”

n“You don’t have to worry about Ko Byeong-gap. He’s stronger than me, so at least he won’t die in a place like this.”

n“I’m glad to hear that.”

n“If you can afford to worry about him, just worry about yourself.”

nShe chewed her cigarette filter and pointed the sword head-on.

n“The dogs are coming.”

n“Cooooooh!”

n“Argh!”

nHundreds of monsters flooded the aisle. Among them, B-class or higher monsters were also mixed in.

n‘This dungeon isn’t B-rank.’

nShe told the crew that there was nothing to worry about, yet she was worried about Ko Byeong-gap and couldn’t take things back at that time.

nShe soon let go of her thoughts and shouted with determination.

n“If you don’t want to die young, stay alert!”

n***

nCookoo! Cookoo!

nThe Goblins paused and looked up. The tremors of the cave got worse, and there was a loud noise a while ago.

n“It’s nothing. Let’s hurry up and go.”

n“Yes, sir!”

nKo Byeong-gap urged the Goblins to walk.

n‘They must be fighting up there.’

nThe source of that sound had to be Jeong Seon-kyung.

n‘You’re not really gonna blow this whole place up.’

nIn fact, if she decided to do so, she could smash the dungeon without difficulty. If he were to line up how strong she was in Korea, she would be in the 0.2%. She didn’t get the S-class title for nothing.

nPerhaps the number of monsters that blocked the front was significantly reduced thanks to her good lead from the above. Even so, it was a normal crack level.

n“Kigigigig! Kigigig!”

n“Howl!”

n“Get rid of it.”

n“Yes!”

nChangsik and Taesik ran out like an arrow. Their sharp claws cut through the monster’s flesh and crumbled its bones.

n“Whoa!”

nBoom! Boom! Boom!

nA lump of muscle came running from afar, carrying an ax with its big shoulders. One of the strongest C-class monsters, a Gigant Orc, trampled its own allies to rush toward Ko Byeong-gap. It aimed instinctively at his head.

n“Kerreuk!”

nThe two Beast Goblins glued together and threw out their claws. The Gigant Orc quickly became covered in blood, but it didn’t collapse, either.

n“Kree!”

nThe Gigant Orc approached the attack squad and struck down its huge ax.

n“Stop it.”

n“Whoa!”

nKo Byeong-gap ordered without pulling out his sword. Turka blocked the front with a shield.

nBang!

n“Gasp!”

n“Whoa!”

nThe Gigant Orc was bigger, but Turka was overwhelming. He bounced his shield and narrowed their distance quickly. Meanwhile, a big fist hit the Orc’s jaw and blew its head away.

n‘I think he’s getting stronger day by day.’

n“Good job, Turka.”

n“Thank you!”

n“Come on, let’s go.”

nIt took less than a moment for them to annihilate a dozen monsters.

n“This way!”

nAs time went by, there were more and more crossroads. At first, there were at most two branches, but later, four and eight paths appeared.

nHowever, Dorma went on without hesitation. Ko Byeong-gap felt that he was getting closer to Kim Ha-sun’s location.

n‘Please stay alive.’

nThe closer Kim Ha-sun got, the more anxious he became. It bothered him that the one they lost was a healer. She was a top awakener, so she wouldn’t die like a frog attacked with stones. The problem was that her experience was far from sufficient.

nIf she was a first-time healer, she was most likely to know only how to do her specialty. She would have never hit a monster before, let alone on her own.

nImagine that such a person was left behind alone…

nA hunter in her situation, who had lost their calm, would definitely waste Karma.

n‘And if you burn out all your Karma, you’ll die.’

nHe stretched his legs and hoped that there would be no mishap.

nAfter a lengthy sprint, they finally reached the end of the passageway.

n“Lord… Lord? Is this…?”

n“Shh! Everybody hide.”

n“Yes!”

nKo Byeong-gap hid behind the wall and captured the view in front of him. It was enough space that was connected to dozens of passages, which stretched in different directions.

nIn addition, monsters swarmed in it. There were so many that he felt gross just by looking at them.

n‘Why are there so many? There are 6,700 of them here. Some of the strong ones are mixed up in the crowd.’

nThe herd of monsters rushed into several corridors in a hurry. They were presumably headed to the place where Jeong Seon-kyung and the party were located.

n“What should we do? Are we going to face it?”

n“No, there are too many passages. Let’s wait until they thin out.”

n“I see.”

nThey hid and waited for the monsters to disappear.

n‘Is Kim Ha-sun over there?’

nThere was only one large burrow on the opposite aisle, which was different at a glance from the road they had passed so far. Perhaps it was the heart of that dungeon.

n“I think the human that Lord is looking for is over there.”

nDorma recited quietly.

n“Well, wouldn’t it be hard to say they’re alive if they weren’t as strong as Lord?”

n“That’s exactly what I was thinking.”

nOf all the places, she fell into the depths of the dungeon. There was no way she would ever get lucky again.

nNo matter how optimistic he thought about it, Kim Ha-sun would’ve died. Could he take back her body? He didn’t know.

n‘We’ve come all the way here, so let’s take a look.’

nAfter about five or six minutes, almost all the monsters were gone. Ko Byeong-gap glanced at the Goblins and drew his sword.

n“Stick close to me.”

n“Yep!”

n“Let’s go.”

nHe appeared out of the aisle. As soon as he did, he kicked the floor and stretched out like the wind.

n“Crrrr?!”

nHe cleaned up the remaining monsters quickly. They failed to make a proper counterattack against the sudden ambush and collapsed.

nIf they procrastinated, the pack of monsters might come back. Ko Byeong-gap hurried into the big cave.

nThe burrow was dark and long enough for ships to pass. His vision brightened after running for about 20 seconds without a break. At the same time, his eyes and mouth opened wide.

n‘I didn’t think of this.’

nUnlike before, a space full of artificial touches was revealed.

nIt was an open hall. Many large pillars stood on the straight wall, and torches and braziers scattered everywhere to light up the place.

nOn the other side, at the far end, there was a huge throne. It was more suited to a giant than an ordinary human. Of course, the guy that sat there was closer to a giant than a human.

n“Lord, look over there!”

nKiriyan pointed up with his long lightning rod. Kim Ha-sun was floating in the air, covered in blood, and was unconscious. They had no way to know what was supporting her.

n‘Are you deceiving us?’

nIt seemed as if she was left there to be seen, like cutting an enemy’s neck in war and hanging it on a pole.

nKo Byeong-gap slowly lowered his head and looked straight ahead.

nA giant sat on the throne. Its upper body was covered by darkness, and only its two legs were visible, which resembled a man but were unusually large in size. When he stood, he was about 5 meters tall.

n‘It must be the boss of this dungeon. Damn it. I thought it would go to Seon-kyung’s side.”

nThe reason for the deliberate uproar above was to lure the monster there. Of course, he thought the boss of this dungeon would’ve gone there. However, it sat there waiting so calmly…

n‘It’s not an ordinary monster.’

nIts Karma alone was beyond normal. More specifically, it was beyond a B-class monster, but his sixth sense was constantly signaling danger even though it just sat still.

n“Be on your toes. We can’t deal with this in moderation.”

nIt didn’t move at all. Ko Byeong-gap slowly focused his aura on his legs. He was about to jump up and snatch Kim Ha-sun.

nHe leaped in an instant, and suddenly, dozens of lumps of light appeared behind the throne and shot after Ko Byeong-gap.

n“Lord!”

n“Ha-ha!”

nDorma and Kiriyan responded immediately by creating the same projectile. A large explosion occurred near Ko Byeong-gap, and in the aftermath, he failed to snatch Kim Ha-sun.

n“Damn it!”

n“Lord! Are you alright?”

n“Oh, no problem.”

nKo Byeong-gap landed on the floor and stared ahead. Thanks to the lump of light, the image of the giant sitting on the throne was fully revealed.

nHis eyes widened greatly.

n‘I… What is that?!’

nHe had never seen the monster before. It was almost like a human down to the bottom of his chest, but he had four arms, two on one shoulder, and its head resembled a goat.

nIt wasn’t rare to see a beast-type monster, but he had never heard of a giant with four arms with a mountain goat’s head.

n‘What the hell is it…?’

nIt was something really bizarre. The boss held four monsters and three humans in his arms, and they were all female.

nThe monsters were a Harpy, a half-human Basilisk, a Satyr that was a monster closer to a man than a horse, and a female Orc. And above all, three human women.

nThe women were all hugged by the boss with a strange look on their faces. Since the boss’ body was so big, there was room left even if he carried seven women at once.

nThe atmosphere over there was so lewd. The women were all naked, and the boss monster’s bottom bulged.

n“That’s crazy!”

nKo Byeong-gap spat with a frown on his face. He had seen so many things in his life, but he had never been as uncomfortable as he was currently.

nAt that time, the hands of the boss monster, who hadn’t even moved, moved. Kim Ha-sun floated in the air and was dragged over there when he flapped his finger a few times.

nIt wasn’t long before he spoke slowly.

n“Yes… They…”

n“Hm?!”

n“These are… Worthy mothers… But you are not.”

n“Lord! Lord! It’s speaking!”

n“I have ears too.”

nHis hand that held the sword was energized, but he couldn’t rush to attack. It was due to the women being hugged by the boss.

n‘What the hell are those women?’

nThey were obviously human beings. Who were they, and what was he doing with them?

n‘All their eyes are open, but they look out of it.’

nAll the women looked like they were drugged. They fumbled with the boss monster’s body and didn’t even glance their way. Suddenly, the boss monster looked up and spoke.

n“Where is the mother… Is it that way?”

n“What are you talking about? What mother?”

nKo Byeong-gap yelled, and then the boss looked over there.

n“You’re… You’re on the same wavelength, but you don’t really… You don’t look useful. Fierce… Rebellious.”

nHe murmured like that and kept rubbing the Basilisk. However, it looked distressed, as if the grip of the hand was too strong.

n“Stop… Stop it… Ugh!”

nShe shriveled up and died.

nIt was really dead.

n“…”

nThe boss calmly looked down at the dead Basilisk, then threw the Basilisk’s body their way.

nFlap!

nOrca lifted the shield and blocked the flying body. The Basilisk with a twisted body flew haphazardly.

nAt a glance, its body was thin and covered with wounds. It had been weakened badly.

n“A strong mother… I need a strong mother.”

n“Lord, talking to that wacky bastard doesn’t seem to be of any use!”

nDorma said. Ko Byeong-gap responded by staring at the other side with lifeless eyes.

n“Oh, I’ve never seen anyone I’ve wanted to kill so badly. Dorma, Kiriyan. Cover me from a distance. The rest of you, protect the two.”

n“Yes!”

n“I see.”

nKo Byeong-gap got into position and gave off a formidable amount of aura. The Goblins also quickly got in formation.

n‘We have to save those women and Kim Ha-sun first.’

nKo Byeong-gap came up with a strategy that reminded him of his goal. Suddenly, the boss opened his mouth again.

n“I have similar things to you too…”

nHe bounced his finger, and then, about 30 people appeared around him. They were blurry at first but gradually took a concrete shape.

nThey were all Goblins. A King Goblin, which was also said to be the best among the Goblins.

n“Kerreuk!”

n“Kerreuk!”

nEvery one of them was enough to be the bosses of B-rank cracks. Their eyes were red and were growling their way.

n“Huh? Those are…?!”

n“They’re our kin! But why?!”

nThe Goblins on his side were bewildered. Kiriyan shouted, pointing forward at his lightning rod.

n“Back off! How dare you point your weapons at the Lord!”

n“Kerreuk!”

n“Oh no. They’re still….!”

nHowever, it didn’t work. The King Goblins were also all out of their minds. The giant boss monster laughed horribly.

n“Hhhh… With my things… Yours. Which one… would be stronger?”

n“… Hah. Indeed.”

nKo Byeong-gap stood around for a few seconds and laughed bitterly. There was a dark slack on his face.

n“What do you mean, yours?”

n“What…?”

n“I command you as Lord.”

nHe just recited lightly.

n“Kill that big bastard.”

n“Kerreuk!”

n“Kerrreuk!”

n“Huh, what?”

nThe King Goblins turned the edge of their swords and started to attack the boss monster.

n
