Chapter 41: (2): Season 1: Preparation

What a real cheating.

He think it was right when Jong-won yelled, Youre a cheater! The Slayers around the world would be astonished and dumbfounded by Hyun-seoks true abilities.

When he entered the seventh room, Hyun-seok was slightly surprised.

The Cyclops is grouped in twos or threes.

However, it didnt pose any significant threat to Hyun-seok. Just like a few flies wouldnt be a big threat to a human. But for ordinary Slayers, it would be a different story. For ordinary Slayers, this Cyclops would be akin to lions or tigers. If a well-trained human with proper weapons and equipment hunts a lion or a tiger, its not that difficult. However, it becomes much more challenging when those lions or tigers gather in pairs or threes. (Here, the term equipment refers to gear commonly used for hunting, not excessively powerful equipment like tanks.)

Well the difficulty has definitely increased. It might be manageable for Jong-won and Myeong-hoon

Hong Se-young also falls into the acceptable category. Se-young is quite fast and has a high evasion rate. But the problem is that if she avoids attacks well but accidentally gets hit, the damage is significant.

Well lets assume Se-young will be fine. But it will be very dangerous for Pyeong-hwa and Min-seo.

The traps installed throughout the dungeon didnt seem to follow any specific rules. It seemed like they were randomly placed here and there. Currently, there were only simple traps like spears piercing the walls, but over time, there might be mazes or much stronger traps. Perhaps there are other traps that havent been discovered yet.

But still, I have to bring them along to make the kids stronger.

Solo slaying is a highly efficient method, especially when someone like Hyun-seok has overwhelming strength. However, solo isnt a universal solution. Its better to grow together with trustworthy people.

That leaves two choices. One is to increase the defense or evasion abilities of Pyeong-hwa and Min-seo, and the other is to preemptively block traps and dangers. The former method is possible if Hyun-seok is there, but its not immediately achievable. The second method is faster.

I need to enhance Myeong-hoon.

[Bonus stat +10 granted.]

[Given at a 50% penalty due to exceeding the normal mode specifications with stats.]

Hyun-seok clenched his fist.

Thats great!

Probably, this normal dungeon can be found if the trappers are active. And if cleared within three hours, it is recognized as a difficult achievement. The conditions are also known. Its a big harvest.

Furthermore, difficult achievements are impossible or nearly impossible for ordinary Slayers. No, they are impossible. But they were possible for Hyun-seok.

Excellent.

Moreover, the rewards from the dungeon were not negligible. Although the level system is limited and cant be known anyway, he received 100 Yellow Stones as a dungeon reward. Yellow Stones are also a type of stone that has not appeared so far.

I need to discuss this with Sung-hyung regarding the true value and price of Yellow Stones.

Though he hasnt known Sung-hyung for a long time, Hyun-seok feels a deep sense of trust in him. He regrets not knowing him for a long time. Sung-hyung also feels the same way about Hyun-seok. Besides the mutual human attraction, they both have enough trust and ability to rely on each other.

Hyun-seok possesses a slaying ability that is irreplaceable by others, and Sung-hyung has excellent leadership and authority as a leader of the Korean Union. They will undoubtedly help each other to evaluate the true value and price of Yellow Stones. Trust and faith in Sung-hyung are the biggest reasons why Hyun-seok remains in the Korean Union.

Anyway, the dungeon clear was smooth, and they grasped a certain extent of it. The Korean Union officially announced the existence of hidden dungeons in the normal mode that some Slayers can discover. They also revealed the investigation results regarding the normal mode dungeon, and the investigator was none other than a Platinum Slayer affiliated with the Korean Union. The status of the Korean Union and Platinum Slayers has risen not only in Korea but also worldwide.

Solo clear of normal mode dungeon. The grandeur of a Platinum Slayer.Increased difficulty. Introduction of party system. Expect various traps!Solo slaying of Cyclops followed by solo clear of the dungeon. Platinum Slayer. Who on earth is he?Park Sung-hyung, the Korean Union leader. We are proud to have him in Korea and the Korean Union.This time, Yellow Stones! What is their true value?

Meanwhile, Hyun-seok discovered another new fact that he hadnt noticed before.

Changed normal mode. Another change in the dungeon!Another fact that Platinum Slayers failed to discover!System changes that will lead to a storm in the Slayer community! Is it a favorable development?
