Chapter 138 < 138 Dungeon Reset >

Days passed.

Through the tearful efforts of Seokjeongho, the shadowy cats were gathering smoothly.

The "basement" of the heavenly temple was a dark and isolated room with no light, like the Castle of the Black Queen.

It's an environment that shadows cats love, so I didn't think about crouching once I came in.

Jungdown dug a hole in the roof floor leading to the basement and made a staircase out of flotation.

Usually, I put the lid over the top, then only open the lid when necessary and gently shake the torch to lure the shadows up one by one.

Tr a ns la te d b y jpmt l.ｃo m Once they climbed up onto the roof, there was no way they could ever go down to the heavenly sanctuary again.

“Come here. ”

Twinkle, twinkle.

Miyao-?

Jungdown fluttered and hung around for days to tame the Shadow Cats.

But these cowards' vigilance pierces the sky.

Niyaak!

“ ……. ” T r a n s la t e d by Ｊpmtl.c oｍ

If you don't like anything at all, the Shadow Cat runs away like a shot.

Jungdown had to struggle with devastation a few times.

“Wow, these guys are really tricky. It's not some patience test... ”

[Yes, every cat has a very different personality. and a variety of diets.]

Even rabbits stick their tongues out for the fickleness of shadow cats.

These grumpy bastards could not be tamed just by mechanically illuminating them.

Giving light did not mean eating it.

Some were eating torches, and some were crumbling with sunstones.

Light is the object of hatred and a delicious snack for them.

He ran away without eating the light that didn't suit his taste.

At that kick, even the sunstone lost its light and disappeared.

[Master, you must give light to the Shadow Cat at all costs.]

Bahamut advised me to keep an eye on him.

[Shadow Cat eats light and emits nightmares. So you have to give it a lot of light to get all the nightmares out, so you can use it as a servant of the shadow.]

T rans l at e d b y jpmtl.co m I didn't need a nightmare for shadow art.

The principle of shadow magic was to pluck out all the nightmares and inject a completely blank shadow cat with new memories.

Even Alfa, who was always worried about Jungdown using the Witch's Secret Technique, was somewhat relieved.

“Got it!”

After hard work, Jungdown finally managed to tame the second Shadow Cat.

Mi-ang?

“Heheh heh heh. Here I come! I am your master! ”

It was a tearful moment.

Shadow Cat No. 2, who enters his shadow and rubs his head against his legs.

They all looked alike anyway, so I didn't give them names.

Jungdown waves his shadow bracelet with a touching look.

“Shadow Secrets! Wake up, Servant 2! ”

My daughter!

“Myao.”

Finally, Shadow Servant 2 rises up. Tr a n s l ate d by ｊpmtl .ｃ o ｍ

Of course, he was doing the same silhouette as Jungdown.

The rabbit kicked his tongue.

[Now that you've only had two, how long are you going to train all those kids in the basement?]

“One step at a time, it'll all work out! Don't you know this proverb? Not even one Earth Golem! ”

[What are you talking about?]

According to the rabbit, the Shadow Cats in the basement were already close to 50.

Anything will give you a trick.

As Sukjong became more skilled at enticing shadow cats, the speed was also increasing.

Of course, it did not reduce the difficulty.

Rather, I was even more busy mentally and physically.

He was chock-full of blood and sweat, controlling the flamethrowers.

Suddenly, he burst into cheer.

“Yu, sixty! ”

You've broken through 60 already?]

When the rabbit was surprised, Seok Jeong-ho lifted his arms and shouted. Tr ans la te d by jp mt l.ｃom

“Haha, that's right! Up to 100 Gazuas at this rate! ”

[……?]

At that moment, the rabbit was confused and asked.

[Why were you so excited?]

“…… Yes? Ah.”

The eyes of the rabbit and Seok Jeong-ho met each other.

‘And now I'm excited about what this is? ’

It was Seok Jeong-ho who was too drunk to do it.

I felt anxious and went back to the Shadow Cats, clearing my throat.

“Hmph.”

…… it felt strange.

What you're doing now is nothing but nonsense with no reward.

It wasn't a proper hunt, so it didn't help level up or accomplish anything.

I was forced to do it by Jungdown, and all I had to do was come back for good food.

Of course, the problem was that the rice tasted too honey....

Anyway.

I didn't just hate it.

‘It's been a while since I've been so immersed in blood and sweat...' ’

It was really strange that Nogada.

If I emptied my head and kept repeating the same thing, my sense of accomplishment was no joke.

Moreover, the sound of praise coming from the back hook at the appropriate timing made him even more motivated.

“Oh, it's fast! You're getting pretty good, aren't you? Now he treats the flamethrowers almost like his own hands! ”

“Hahaha, no problem! That's more than normal! ”

His mouth twitches with no reason to smile.

He runs out toward the Shadow Cats, even more motivated.

But he looked behind him and chanted.

His mouth suddenly flutters with an evil smile.

“Heheh, nogadaen is the best compliment. ”

[Scary Human…….]

The rabbit shakes his head.

One day, he was eating that filthy lagoon like his own paw.

After a long time of inactivity, he was finally reborn as a captain who gave jobs to the elderly.

* * *

When I became two Shadow Servants, I showed them a completely different efficiency than when I was one.

First, ducking iron shells became more than three times faster.

Once one of you has smeared the shell with the ant's saliva, the other quickly scissors.

The synergy was tremendous because the hand and foot were slashed.

In the beginning, they moved based on the same memories that came out of the jungle, so they were two and one.

Quadruck!

The ant scissors were out again, so I couldn't use them.

Then Shadow Boy 1 swiftly stepped out to the side and made another pair of ant scissors.

Meanwhile, issue 2 swept away the pieces of shells that had been taken so far and put them aside.

All of these moves were just like the "memory" that Jungdown showed his hands!

“These guys are amazing! ”

Jungdown wanted to give this Shadow Servant to all the producers in the dungeon one by one if he could.

If that were the case, no fighter would be able to ignore the production jobs anymore!

My body is weak and will explode in one blow, but I have no skill, so I will have a way to defend myself by being good at ambush or ambush.

Of course, there's no doubt that the job will be twice as comfortable!

However, the rabbit recognized the idea of being a downer and said with a cold expression.

[It's a bad idea. Don't be so grumpy. Do you think people would appreciate something like that? Rather, you can use that power to ambush.]

“I know. It's not just good people. Besides, it's impossible anyway, can you imagine? ”

Shadow arts could only be used as a charm.

“Oh, wait. By the way.”

I was thinking about how to use the Shadow Servant again, and I came up with an idea.

“Shadow cats used to steal other people's memories and make them come true, right? Then why am I the only one who remembers me? ”

[Why? Shadow Art is a level one.]

“Oh, shit. Is that what it is?”

Shadow Art is a special option attached to the Shadow Bracelet.

It was impossible to level up itself because it was not a skill in the first place.

Jungdown grumbled.

“Serpa only uses it well. ”

[He was a wizard.]

Eventually, a crash erupted.

“Again, again! His Wizard's Throw! Only one wizard in front of me! Bury him alive! ”

Surprise!

[……!]

Just after that, Bahamut, the 'Wizard’, trembled.

“Oh, yes! How about this? ”

At that moment, I thought of a different way to use Level 1 Shadow Art in my head.

“By the way, you can only do what I do myself, right? ”

Jungdown goes straight back to the niche town.

For days now, Seo-yeon's men and Seo-yeon's men have been relaxing there.

For those who had always lived in suspense and danger, the niche town was the best place to rest.

“Phew, I don't know how long it's been since I've slept like this without worrying about monsters and without worrying about food. ”

“Of course, Seo-yeon. I'd like to stay here as long as possible. ”

“I see. If possible.... ”

At first, Seo-yeon's group and Seo-yeon's group, who were still standing with each other on the day, were suddenly engaged in a conversation.

I once risked my life for food and hunting, but I was feeling a little generous as safety and food were replenished.

Of course, some of them killed their colleagues, so it was definitely impossible for them to laugh and talk.

But it was a huge change in the level of exchange of information.

I suddenly came to them and talked to them.

“Do any of you know how to use your body? ”

“Yes? The body? ”

“Oh, was that too sudden? I'm looking for someone who can overestimate my archery skills! ”

“ ……? ”

People wondered what was said.

You want me to teach you archery all of a sudden?

What the hell does that mean?

The man who shined down upon them was a warrior with great abilities.

I thought someone was from production, but it was obvious just to see the golems he was carrying.

If he didn't have the strength in the first place, how would he have caught those golems?

How else did the mysterious snowman wizard who always wears it come up?

‘Probably someone using some... unknown summoning or spirit-related skills. Why do you want to learn archery all of a sudden?' ’

Unlike their illusions, however, the true nature of the game was still a bottle of gem that could not shoot a bow.

Even though the 'target’ could be seen clearly, it was now the reality that if I just shot the target, the target kept twisting.

The plot to settle down was simple.

‘If I learn archery correctly, the Shadow Servants will be able to attack from afar. When your body is weak, it's a ranged attack! ’

Shadow servants couldn't see the "target" like themselves.

So if I learned proper archery and remembered it in my body for just one more time, they would still be able to shoot arrows in that position.

"If that's the case! ’

The number of Shadow Servants continued to grow.

But imagine them all standing side by side shooting arrows at the same time!

Isn't it thrilling to imagine!

Fire in unison!... Khh! ’

Jungdown stood in the middle and thought of himself screaming like a general, and his jaw was torn by the imagination.

“I……. ”

Then someone lifted their hand.

“It's not my primary weapon, but for one thing, I'm the best archer. ”

“What? Who? ”

The head of Jungdown gladly turns back.

It was Ji Seo-yeon who came forward.

But what she said was in her hand, not a bow, but something else.
