I Obtained a Mythic Item - Chapter 3

Episode 3 A Lucky Day (3

)

“What is this all about? Did a bomb explode?”

“Fuck! Don’t you know that bombs are prohibited in dungeons? What a bastard!”

All at once, the battle lines were disrupted, and the surroundings were filled with raucous voices.

‘What’s going on?’

Jaehyun quickly scanned the inside of the dungeon with his dizzy eyes.

But there was no sign of an explosion anywhere.

‘What is it? It must have been an explosion…’

Then.

Strange black smoke began to rise from the floor.

Shhhh…

The smoke spread in an instant, completely blocking their view.

“Keck! Big!”

“Coke! What the hell is this?!”

Jaehyun quickly covered his mouth with his sleeve and narrowed his eyes.

The black fog that covered them was not just water fog.

‘This… poison fog?’

Poison Mist.

A special fog that literally poisons those who drink smoke.

‘If you drink for a long time, you will die. I have to get out of here.’

“Mr. Jaehyun. I think we need to get out of here quickly. This fog… it’s dangerous no matter how you look at it.”

Lee Myung-ho, who had followed me before I knew it, said while covering his mouth with his sleeve.

Jaehyun nodded and shouted.

“everyone! We have to get out of here…”

Before he could finish his words, Jaehyun kept his mouth shut.

“Heuk!”

“Myung-ho hyung!”

A sharp long sword pierced the chest of Lee Myeong-ho, who was standing next to Jae-hyun.

Jaehyun bit his lip.

‘This is not a dungeon device.’

It wasn’t just Lee Myung-ho. Other people’s screams came one after another from all over the place.

In an instant, a bloody storm hit the dungeon.

‘It should be avoided.’

Dot dot dot dot.

Jaehyun quickly left his seat, constantly refining his thoughts.

The sound of a sudden explosion, the poison fog that filled the dungeon, and the people who were killed.

In an instant, goose bumps all over Jaehyun’s body.

‘This… is not the work of a monster.’

* * *

“Huh uh uh uh …….”

Jaehyun managed to escape the poison fog and the assassins’ attacks and dug into the dungeon.

At the same time he thought

What if the purpose of the assassins was to annihilate all members of the meteor guild?

Heading toward the exit is rather poison.

This is because there is a high possibility that you will be killed by the assassination team waiting at the entrance.

At times like these, it would be much safer to request rescue from within the dungeon.

‘shit! What the hell is going on? ……it’s okay. Now is not the time to think about that.’

Jaehyun took out his smartphone from his coat and turned it on.

If it wasn’t too late and he requested rescue, there was a good chance he would survive.

“How did you get this mythical item, do you think you would die here?”

The moment Jaehyun tries to access the emergency dungeon call app on his smartphone.

Kurrrrr! bang!

A fierce electric shock grazed Jaehyun’s shoulder and pierced him against the wall behind him.

“Kheop!”

Jaehyun kicked the ground. He rolled over and narrowly escaped the lightning strike.

‘what? Who the hell is

…….’

At the sound of the voice, Jaehyun’s face twisted in an instant.

Jaehyun spoke to the enemy standing in front of him with a trembling voice.

“……Jung Woo-min.”

* * *

“I told you. I will see you today.”

Jung Woo-min walked slowly toward Jae-hyun with a smile on his face.

At first glance, the atmosphere is completely different from yesterday. I felt a strange sense of incongruity in the black hood and horn-rimmed glasses I was wearing.

Jaehyun asked in a sharp voice without taking his eyes off Jung Woomin.

“Did you do everything? Dissolving the poison fog and attacking the meteor guild?”

“yes. that’s right.”

Jung Woo-min meekly admitted. There was no trace of guilt on his face. Instead of the usual good-natured smile, there is only a grinning, unfamiliar and heterogeneous face.

Jaehyun was embarrassed, but he didn’t show it and asked with a calm expression.

“Why?”

“What is it? It’s a request from my client. Besides… there are so many people who hate meteor guild.

I went around ignoring the other guilds like that. Is there any way the ugly hair won’t stick?”

Jaehyun bit his lip.

Of course, as the meteor guild expanded, I heard that it was ignoring other guilds, especially guilds made up of fighter-based raiders.

But I never thought to hit it from behind like this.

‘I thought it was just a small war of nerves between guilds… but it was my mistake. shit.’

“Huh……”

Jaehyun caught his breath.

It’s a pity, but I have to forget about the guild work. The first thing was to figure out the situation.

‘The probability that a murder in a dungeon is disclosed to the outside converges to zero. Even if a crime does occur, most cases are closed only with the testimony of an eyewitness.’

Dungeon killer.

It refers to those who recently abused the closedness of dungeons to commit murder. Situationally, this meteor guild raid case would also be a crime using this blind spot in the law.

‘shit.’

Jaehyun gritted his teeth and looked at Jung Woomin in front of him.

Blue mana spurting out from the body.

‘It’s not an opponent I can beat with my skills right now.’

Jung Woo-min is an A-rank wizard. He is a talented person who is in the top 2% nationwide.

On the other hand, Jaehyun is only D rank. It wasn’t great or weak, it was just mediocre.

In addition, Jaehyun is unable to use the power of the Aesir system.

‘All I have to do is keep my mouth shut. Then he won’t kill me either. Because their goal is not me in the first place. It’s cowardly… but I can’t help it.’

Of course, in my heart, the dead meteor guild members and those who fought in the vanguard.

In particular, I wanted to avenge Lee Myung-ho.

But realistically, there was nothing Jaehyun could do.

With the rise of Yggdrasil and the emergence of the Awoken, the world has become miserably intolerant of the weak.

And Jaehyun was the lowest-ranking resident even in that pyramid.

‘under.’

My pride hurts, but I had no choice but to keep my head down here.

After a while.

Jaehyun, who organized his thoughts, opened his mouth with difficulty.

“Jung Woo-min. I’ll do something that didn’t happen today. So…”

Then.

Jung Woo-min cut off his words and took another step forward.

“Brother, but you know what?”

kurlrrr!!

A bright yellow electric shock extending from Jung Woo-min’s hand narrowed the distance with Jae-hyun in an instant.

Koo-goo-goo-goo! Quaang!

Jaehyun, who rolled his body to avoid the rushing electric shock as if measured with a ruler, took a deep breath and looked at Jung Woomin’s movements.

Blood was flowing from the forearm and cheek where the attack had passed.

‘If he had reacted a little late… he would surely have died.’

Jung Woo-min’s attack was carried out in an instant. An attack with obvious hostility. The intensity was too strong to be dismissed as a joke.

Jung Woo-min smiled coldly at Jae-hyun’s stiff face.

“The target of this dungeon is not just one meteor guild.”

* * *

Boom! thud! thud!

《Chain of Lightning》 pours down like crazy.

A B-class or higher wizard like Jung Woo-min can activate magic just by casting it in his mind.

Rune language.

This is because their understanding of the language that forms the basis of magic is much higher than others.

Of course, it’s not as powerful as taking it out of your mouth, but it was enough to deal with D-class Jaehyun.

Jaehyun bit his lip as he looked at his bloodied body.

‘I have to think of something. I have to get out of this situation.’

Jung Woo-min’s attacks were constantly attacking Jae-hyun. While Jaehyun barely escaped the electric shock, he wondered who the person who instigated his death might be.

And finally.

A figure passed through Jaehyun’s mind.

His whole body trembled, and his expression contorted in an instant.

Jung Woo-min looked at Jae-hyun’s face and stopped the attack with an interesting expression.

Jaehyun’s eyes twinkled.

“……Is it your father’s fault?”

Jung Woo-min smiled excitedly at Jaehyun’s distorted appearance, which he had never seen before.

“As expected, my brother has a good head. Because I like that.”

Jaehyun clenched his fists. Drops of blood leaked from the cracks in his closed lips. My whole body trembled with vivid anger.

That his father, who is not someone else’s blood, instigated his death?

Of course, he knew from the beginning that his father didn’t even consider him a child and treated him as worthless trash.

but. Anyway, isn’t this over the limit? You hired a hit man to kill your son?

at that time. Suddenly, an uneasy thought passed through Jaehyun’s head.

‘If so… no way!’

In the feeling of a rising sense of contempt dominating his whole body, Jaehyun had a hard time breaking his luck.

“Let’s ask one thing.”

Jung Woo-min shrugged at Jae-hyun’s rather serious face. It was a kind of permission.

“Has he ever asked you to do something like this before? So, about 5 years ago…”

“I didn’t know I could even hit that. Incredible.”

pounding.

Jaehyun’s brow furrowed wildly. It seemed to stop breathing.

heartbeat thumping loudly. Soon, hot tears welled up in Jaehyun’s eyes.

Five years ago, Jaehyun’s mother lost her life in a robbery and murder. A very cold winter. The mother who cared for herself terribly was moved to the autopsy room as a cold corpse.

The result of the autopsy was murder by another person. It was an unbelievable reality for Jaehyun, who was only 22 at the time.

Tears flowed incessantly.

Mother, I promised to repay your youth one by one. He is a son who only received and gave nothing.

At that time, his mother had already left him.

immediately after the incident. Jaehyun went to the police station every day and tried to find the culprit. However, the culprit was more meticulous than expected. He left no trace, and the case remained unsolved.

Even though five years have passed, the hatred for the killer who killed her mother still remained in Jae-hyeon’s heart. A hatred so deep that I want to kill it right away.

And now I know where the direction of that hatred should be headed.

Jung Woo-min. and father.

All the truth has been revealed.

It was the father who killed Jae-hyun’s mother, Lee Seon-hwa. And it was Jung Woo-min in front of him.

I felt sick to my stomach. In fact, Jaehyun also vaguely guessed. Because my father and mother didn’t get along very well.

but.

It was too harsh to think of my father as the killer of my mother.

A family with only one left.

I was afraid that the person I could rely on would disappear. So I decided to believe. Even if there are a few awkward corners.

however.

‘The result of faith… is this the only one?’

Laughter burst out along with hot tears.

teeth were shaking

A father who killed his only wife and now wants to kill his children as well.

Jung Woo-min, who warmly called him older brother and took good care of even a low-level raider like himself.

‘Now…… I don’t trust anyone.’

Jung Woo-min left behind Jae-hyun, who was deep in thought, and started to create a lightning strike by raising mana again. It was the < Chain of Lightning >, a magic that Jung Woo-min was good at.

Partchutsutsu…….

An electric shock that changed into a sharp chain. It cried ferociously, as if it would tear Jaehyun’s body apart at any moment.

“Because that’s what happened.”

Jung Woo-min’s eyebrows curled.

“Goodbye, bro.”
