Chapter 9: Guild Dungeon (2)

Chapter 9: Guild Dungeon (2)

A room with an overall beautiful atmosphere that was neatly tidied.

The blackberry diffuser on top of the drawer was exuding a delicate scent, and a large bromide print of Yoo Sung-Eun was stuck on the wall.

Kim YooJung, who was reading webtoons as she rolled on the bed, suddenly lay down facing the ceiling.

She mumbled with an expression of annoyance.

How could he suddenly throw me away and go? Even if hed already called Mom. When I went to his home to tell Auntie, shed gone out to meet a friend. Just you wait. Ill really kill you this time.

How could he leave her in such a crowded place when he knew she had no sense of direction?

No wonder. He readily agreed to come to unnis lecture just to screw me over like this?

After she punched the pillow she had been hugging to push down her surging anger, she let out a short sigh.

phew.

After subsiding her anger, Kim YooJung slowly recalled JaeHyuns actions that day.

I really cant understand.

Thinking about it again, there were parts she still couldnt understand about the way JaeHyun had acted.

He who hated crowded places readily attended Yoo Sung-Euns lecture, and this guy who usually took her around without any problems suddenly left her and disappeared.

Even worse

To apply as a Magician what kind of nonsense is that?

No matter how she thought about it, there wasnt a reason for him to suddenly change his career path.

JaeHyun had continuously trained to be a combat Warrior at ordinary times. If there was a motive that could lead to changing his career path, it was something worth throwing away all of that training and suffering.

Kim YooJung nodded as she mumbled.

The fact that he made such a decision means that theres a reason for it.

The JaeHyun that Kim YooJung knew had a very prudent personality. Because of his difficulty when making a choice, when they went to the cafeteria together, it would take him over 10 minutes to get something.

The personality of such a JaeHyun had changed all of a sudden.

He became another person overnight.

Kim YooJung got off the bed, still full of questions about JaeHyuns actions.

Then she lifted her phone up and started to send a message to JaeHyun.

>>You havent forgotten how you left me behind, right? You just wait. Ill kill you.

Grrrraaaa..!

He suddenly felt a shiver up his spine for some reason. Was it just because of the monsters in front of him?

JaeHyun controlled his breath and looked around his surroundings.

Hoo hoo hoo.

Black smoke started to rise chaotically from between the graves.

Kyyaaaaaaaak!

A different kind of ear-splitting cry was heard, followed by a scream and the sight of a half-decomposed corpse.

JaeHyun quickly turned his eyes and analyzed the enemy in front of him.

Four wraiths, a skeletal soldier, and a draugr?

It was truly a good party. One tank, four dealers, and one long-distance dealer.

Editor: Dealer is a gaming term used as a short form of Damage Dealer

JaeHyun let out a laugh at the absurdity of the situation.

Its better thought out than most parties. Youre telling me to take care of this by myself?

Of course, if he used Lights Sacrifice , these enemies would be defeated in an instant. But relying on just a wide-area spell would not lead to improvement.

He might also run out of mana were he to meet a stronger enemy later.

JaeHyun first planned to assess the enemies attack and the overall situation.

Thankfully, I brought this with me.

JaeHyun smiled lightly as he looked at the staff clenched in his hand.

[Equipment]

Name: Staff Supplied by Yeonhwa Guild

Rank: C

A staff created by a blacksmith affiliated with the Yeonhwa Guild.

It was a weapon he had just borrowed from the guild because of its good quality, with which hunting such low-level monsters shouldnt be a problem.

JaeHyun lightly poured some mana into the staff he was holding and conducted the magic.

Zziiiinng

The staff which was filled with mana started to slowly emit magic.

With the fierce impact of the conducted magic, JaeHyun quickly shot Lightning Chain toward the enemy with a slight smile.

Swwwiiiiiish!

A wraith at the head of the group that had been attacking JaeHyun was struck by the chain.

You have killed a wraith.

You have received 70 experience points.

An alert from the system announcing the death of a wraith rang.

JaeHyun nodded slightly as he put more force into the staff he was holding.

If it was just this much, it was possible for even JaeHyun to hunt with his low level.

Grraaa!

After that were two of the wraiths that attacked him one after the other.

Tap!

After JaeHyun took a leap and closed the distance between him and the enemy, he turned his body lightly to dodge a sickle.

Then

Swwooosh!

He repelled two wraiths by moving the chain toward the wraith again.

You have killed 2 wraiths.

You have received 140 experience points.

The item Staff Supplied by Yeonhwa Guild has been destroyed.

What was this?

What on earth was approaching?

To forcefully stop the suffocating feeling, JaeHyun stretched his hand out toward a piece of the broken staff.

In that position, he forcefully stabbed the piece of the broken staff into his thigh.

"Keuhk!"

He blocked the cry that impulsively came from his mouth with his hand.

JaeHyun decided that whatever was approaching, making his presence here known was the wrong choice.

pant.

Finally able to breathe again, JaeHyuns sight began to return to him.

Then

JaeHyun's pupils narrowed.

This is a shadow?'

Surprised, JaeHyun straightened his body and moved his gaze.

"Ah!"

With an expression full of horror, JaeHyun let out an exclamation of shock.

A demonic shadow creature shaped like a giant was in front of his eyes.

Soon, a shocking name slowly fell from JaeHyuns lips.

Night Shade.

The dungeon boss Night Shade has appeared.

The degree of difference in level with the user is Danger .

Warning! Quickly escape from the dungeon.

Warning! Quickly escape from the dungeon.

The warning alert came twice.

While looking at the Night Shade exuding a dark aura, JaeHyun let out a dazed laugh.

He bit his lip as he felt his whole body tremble.

Damn What is a Night Shade doing on the field of an E-ranked dungeon?! That was a monster that appeared in a dungeon at least C-ranked. I have to escape right away.

Inventory!

Quickly opening his inventory, JaeHyun reached out to use the warp stone.

However, at that moment

JaeHyuns pupils moved furiously. His wandering gaze looked around his surroundings dizzily.

The Night Shades shadow had suddenly disappeared.

Huh?

A sound of bewilderment left JaeHyuns mouth.

<And at that moment>

Crash!

The Night Shade that had appeared beside JaeHyun without his knowledge struck him accurately in the stomach.

Keuheuk!

Bang!

At the unbelievably fast attack, JaeHyuns body flew far and hit a wall behind him.

Cough!

Blood spurted out of JaeHyuns mouth.

The warp stone in his hand fell from his hand and rolled on the ground without his notice.

Damn.

Caution! The amount of HP remaining has fallen to a dangerous level.

Immediately use a recovery item!

Almost all of his vitality had disappeared in a single hit. He only had 40 HP left.

Boom! Boom!

The sound of domineering footsteps resounded. JaeHyun tried his best to focus his shaky gaze and looked at the enemy approaching him.

At the blazing, fierce purple gaze of the demonic creature, his whole body was trembling.

What should he do?

What should he do to survive?

A situation where even the last bit of strength to move was leaving his body.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

In that desperate crisis, the Night Shade finally stood in front of him.

Then, it slowly lifted its massive fist and swung it violently.

Whoosh!

I cant dodge it.

JaeHyun clenched his own fist as he stared at the fist that was rapidly headed his way.

It was coming at a speed he couldnt dodge. In the end, the Night Shades attack hit him directly on the head.

Huh?

No, he had just thought it hit directly.

what the hell? The Night Shades movementhas stopped?

That wont do. No. That kid is an important guest I brought to this place personally, after all.

The next moment, he heard the sound of a womans enthralling voice.

JaeHyun forcefully gathered up his remaining strength and turned to look at where the voice was coming from.

Then

There, he saw a woman with half of her body covered smiling with her eyes.

The eerie face of the woman, half of which was so beautiful one couldnt dare to meet her eyes while the remaining half was so disfigured one couldnt dare look at it, entered his sight.

She smiled toward JaeHyun.

So its you. The child who carries the fate of the Adversary.
