Chapter 97 < 97.00 Dungeon Reset >

* * *

“Perhaps I should take the time to upgrade my purification skills to Intermediate. ”

In recent years, Jungdown has reconsidered the value of his main skill, Purification.

‘Main Skill’ here refers to the first skill given when a participant was first summoned to a dungeon, which was rated differently than other normal skills.

And finally, the main skill 'Purify’ reached beginner level 10.

Intermediate is in sight.

The rabbit agreed. T r an sl at ed by Jp ｍ t l .co ｍ

[Good. Purification skills are like a natural enemy to the undead. If you put it up intermediate when you have a chance, it will benefit more and more later.]

In the meantime, most purification skills have been used to comfort the air in the dungeons or remove toxins from the food.

Recently, the skill 'Purification' has not been impaired even by the skill of attacking, dealing with rich, ghosts, and skeleton soldiers.

[But the problem is also the skill range.]

“That's right. It only applies to weapons that your hand touches or holds. It's too dangerous to fight too close when you're fighting. ”

[Skill can also evolve remotely when it becomes Intermediate.]

Tr an slat ed by ｊp ｍt l.ｃoｍ “Should I?”

[But would that be okay? You only have to hunt with purification skills.]

“Why do you hunt? ”

The words mixed with the rabbit's concerns made me seriously confused.

The rabbit could now see what it meant.

[…… Yes, just live like a worm for the rest of your life.]

The land of the cleft was a place where the curse of corruption continued to rise, no matter how much it was cleansed.

I've never been more qualified to practice cleansing skills.

* * *

“So what can we do to help? ”

Soon after, Ryu Seung Woo's group leaves the village, steadily preparing for battle at the request of a downfall.

The request was simple.

“While I cleanse the land, stop the skeletons. ”

“Easy.”

“For how long?”

Tr an s l a t ed by jp ｍ tl .ｃ oｍ “Until my main skill becomes intermediate. ”

“... It's easy but intense. ”

Ryu Seung Woo's group sighs deeply at Jungdown's request.

The ground in this breach was a real-time place where skeleton soldiers would sprinkle.

It took tremendous stamina and stamina to defend them until they told them to stop in the midst of the never-ending enemy.

“Hnng, I don't know why. They're giving me a good meal and a good rest. ”

“Downey, wouldn't it be faster to just hunt if you were going to level up? ”

“That's right. We'd rather keep you safe, so if you catch skeletons with your own purification skills..." ”

“Phew, what if I get hurt? I don't even have regenerative skills like Hoyeon. ”

I also knew that hunting was more effective than purifying the land.

However, it was too dangerous to fight with one purification skill without any other means.

“Let's start here. ”

“…… prepare for battle. ”

“Phew.”

It was the beginning of hard labor.

And a few days later, the noble sacrifices of his colleagues (? Purification skills could eventually become intermediate. Trans l a t e d by ｊp ｍt l .c o m

[The 'Cleanse' skill has advanced to Intermediate Level 1.]

* * *

[The dungeon will reset.]

Meanwhile, the resetting of the witch's house after Jungdown and Bahamut left has begun.

Kugu Kugu!

Bloop!

The collapsed walls have been restored and the three basement floors have cooled off.

A second dungeon where not only the witch's house but everything around it is reverting to its original shape.

And there was a cold gaze that watched from afar.

[That's a neat trick.]

The helper on Stage -4 was disdainful.

The targeted dungeon was destroyed. It was natural, but this time it was ruined for good.

What's that building over there?]

* Cough *...

The existence of a massive dirt building that was slowly collapsing on the witch's house was also very strange. Tr an s la te d by jpｍ t l.com

[You can't have built it yourself. Do they have skills like that? What the hell is that for?]

He could not have imagined that he had just built it because he wanted to bathe in a blizzard.

If it wasn't for the purpose of attacking the dungeon, it would not be common sense to build such a building in this harsh cold.

Common sense, of course.

[…… hmm?]

At last, the dungeon reset is complete, and the moment the helper finally enters the boss room, his expression hardens immediately.

It was strange that Gremlin Rich should be sitting on a chair in the bosom as ever.

[…….]

Rich doesn't move.

As if the soul had escaped.

The helper hurriedly checks on Rich's life vessel.

And he hardened his face.

[...... The real soul is gone. The name boss is completely ruined.]

I was so embarrassed.

Rich's Life Vessel was not just a magical reservoir, but a vessel that contained the soul of a lifetime.

However, since the soul disappeared from the bowl somehow in English, this rich man was like a broken doll.

[Did someone set the holy fire? A skill that directly destroys souls? What kind of skills did these guys have?]

There were more than one or two questions.

However, there was no way to come and find out what had happened, unless you continued to follow the participants.

[I can't. We have to change the boss.]

He immediately took action.

It was a special circumstance that the boss was not even reset, but there might be an assistant just in case.

He got rid of the stiff-necked old boss and remodeled the witch's house.

And I smiled with satisfaction.

[Hmm. Not bad. It's gonna be a different dungeon than it's ever been. This should be fun too.]

Of course, the fun is just being in control.

It would have been another beginning of despair for the participants.

* * *

And the day after that.

The jeongdowns and rabbits who came back to the witch's house were embarrassed.

“You don't have Richie? ”

[The dungeon has changed.]

As soon as the second dungeon was reset, he came to retrieve another rich like Bahamuth, but he was nowhere to be seen.

And instead, waiting for them in the boss room was a mass of ghosts.

Guo!

Whoo!

“Yikes.”

In order not to be spotted by the roaming ghosts like swarms of bees, they lurk close to the post and talk.

[You seem to have completely changed your boss.]

The rabbit looked at the ruins at a glance.

“Is that even possible? You didn't do that. ”

[Senior managers have the discretion to change the dungeon traps and guardians. You live like that now.]

“Yes, it is. ”

No one could blame him, but he was always moving the temple's traps around.

[However, this will completely change the way we attack the Witch's house.]

“How does it change? ”

[It's an extermination. It's like catching all the ghosts in a witch's house is the only way to attack.]

“A lot of that? It's annoying.”

[Would it bother you? The maze keeps changing, and the ghosts keep coming through the walls. There are more ghosts than ever before, so I'm going to try to stop them.]

“But wouldn't that be better than facing Rich? ”

Hmm?

The rabbit who thought about it for a moment nodded.

[I suppose so. The objective is different, but the tactical method or difficulty will be almost the same.]

Come to think of it, this ruin was the place to wander around the maze looking for Rich's life vessel anyway.

But now I'm wandering around the maze to catch and kill all the ghosts walking through the walls.

With Rich gone, the way participants struggled and the difficulty was almost the same, the senior helper seemed different.

“Anyway, that's not the point. I'm at a disadvantage. ”

The realization that the Bahamut-like Reach could not be increased in the future was greatly grieved.

Lichs, who were promised to be his, were robbed by someone else.

“Well, there's still a butcher's knife. ”

[... You disgusting human. Even on our side, seems like a thief.]

The rabbit shakes its head in a steady, steadfast manner that searches the witch's laboratory, never giving up on its stubbornness.

I'm glad you're on our side, but it was too bold.

“Hooray! I found the knife. ”

Fortunately, the Butcher's Blade, the treasure of Bahamut, remains intact.

[Butcher's Blade +4]

- Durability: 100/100 (%)

- Optional: Butchering (Level 3)

Improves dismantling of bones and flesh.

- Special Option: Vampire (Level 1)

Restores itself by stealing the enemy's health.

‘Special Options', unfortunately, was an option that could not be registered with the Altar's Reinforcement System.

Here is a brief summary of the long description of the alpha.

1) General Options: Enhance the magic in addition to the finished weapon. (Magic information is registered in the Enhancement System when sacrificed. Applicable to other weapons.)

2) Special Option: The blacksmith brands magic in the middle of making the weapon. (Sacrificing will destroy the weapon's brand and permanently eliminate the option.)

In other words, if you offer the Butcher's Blade as an offering, the special option, 'Vampiric Blood’, means that it will decompose into the air and only ‘Butchering’, a common option, can be registered on the altar.

I was greatly disappointed to find out later.

I thought I'd try to produce a reinforcement weapon with my innate ‘Vampire’ skill, but it was a bad idea.

That's why he returned the sickle of the Grim Reaper with the sword to Bahamut as a special option.

“Come on, let's go. ”

Jungdown quickly returns to the gate set inside the anthill, feeling the ghosts' movements coming from inside the boss room.

The moment the hidden treasure was revealed outside, the boss battle started just like the last time.

Gooooo!

Ghosts start pouring out of the Boss Room!

[Phew, a grave robber.]

“I don't even have a real owner anymore, but the person who picks it up first, right? ”

Seeing the terrifying scene, I was satisfied with another knife.

You didn't have to deal with the ghosts all the time anyway.

He pulls out a single Scream Herb and stomps it on his feet.

Beep-beep-beep-beep!

Ghosts are startled and scattered to all sides by the sound of the creaky plants.

Of course, this is only temporary, and no damage has been done to them.

Before the ghosts come back, you pause for a moment and look back, rushing through the gate and into the niche town.

“…… No. I have combat skills now, don't I? ”

Undead only.

“Cleanse, purify, purify. ”

Pa, Pa, Pa!

A round sphere of white energy clumps across the palm of his hand.

Purification (Intermediate Level 1)

- Purge the target.

- Remote available (discharge)

Yikes.

Dispensing! This is a satisfactory option.

If I thought that cleansing skill, which I knew how to smell or cleanse, would turn out well, I would have put it up hard as soon as I got to the crack ground.

However, even skill nogada is possible when there are colleagues who will take good care of their surroundings.

It was too unsettling to leave the protection of ignorant golems who specialize in destruction rather than guarding it.

“Well, let's get started. ”

He grins and bends his fingers like a pistol at the ghosts, starting to turn back this way.

Then he started firing purification skills at all visible 'targets’.

[You just have to bounce through the gate anyway. Let's see how many we can catch on our own.]

The rabbit starts counting.
