I Stole the Number One Ranker’s Soul - Chapter 30

Episode 030

A hot wind blew from the front along with the sound of an explosion.

When I came to, I was lying on the floor.

When I barely opened my eyes, I saw the desk and furniture and chairs lying about like junk.

The powerful shock wave that erupted from across the immigration hall knocked down everything, including furniture and people.

I felt like my mind was turning bright red.

I urgently looked to the side and saw my mother groaning, crushed by the chair she was sitting on.

“mom!”

I quickly moved the chair away and dragged my mom out.

It was a fairly heavy four-person iron chair, but thanks to the Lapis Lazuli Ring of the Apocalypse, it was easy to lift.

Mom looked distraught.

I, too, was completely out of my wits.

But Seo Ji-han remained calm.

– We have to get out quickly. It’s a dungeon creation explosion. This place is going to collapse.

Before he could finish his words, an ominous sound was heard from the ceiling.

Across the hallway from the immigration checkpoint, which had already been cut in half, the steel frame with its bones exposed was slowly tilting.

Because part of the building was sucked into the dungeon, it was unable to maintain its structure and was collapsing.

“mom! Mom, wake up quickly.”

“Uh huh?”

I gritted my teeth and helped my mother up, but she seemed to be completely lost because the situation was so sudden.

No matter how much I pulled her, she couldn’t run properly, so I ended up holding her in my arms and running to the other side.

The shock wave from the dungeon-generating explosion hit her. There were explosions in succession.

Fortunately, Misuk’s wife was already running in front.

People were groaning under the collapsed concrete and building debris everywhere.

I held my mother and ran while kicking or pushing away the fragments of the collapsed building with my feet. I helped the people who were crushed to get out.

Then, I left the screening room and ran out into the hallway.

“Ah…”

My mother, who was looking at my back while holding me, let out a sound of air.

I ran for a while and reached a place I thought was safe before I could see with my own eyes what was happening.

The space where the runway should have been was gone, and a swirling, distorted space was visible.

It looked as if a huge hole had formed in the air and was sucking in the runway and airport corridors.

This is what it looks like if you are outside when the dungeon creation explosion occurs, rather than being sucked in.

Not only me but everyone else was overwhelmed by this unrealistic sight before our eyes.

Except Seo Ji-han.

Seo Ji-han’s voice flowed softly into my ears as I thought absentmindedly.

– It’s been almost a month since the previous dungeon creation explosion, so it’s about time for a new dungeon.

Seo Ji-han muttered bitterly.

In this scene of chaos, Seo Ji-han’s calmness felt foreign.

“Seungju!”

My mother, who seemed to have come to her senses a little, suddenly screamed.

I realized what it meant later and let out a brief scream.

Inside the dungeon, there was Seungju in the area of the explosion.

Since he was in the bathroom in that hallway, he must have been sucked into the dungeon along with the hallway.

“Seungju, what should we do with our Seungju? “What should we do, Seungju?”

My mother was in a daze and grabbed me, repeating nonsense.

Only one thought came to my empty, white head.

This time Seungju entered the same hell I had entered twice.

He’s a very scared guy, and I couldn’t even imagine how scared he must be right now.

My younger brother’s crying face filled my mind.

At the same time, my mother’s tearful face appeared before my eyes.

“mom.”

I grabbed my mom’s hand that was holding me.

I slowly got up from my seat, helping my mother, who couldn’t even stand properly due to lack of strength in her legs, sitting down.

“Should I collect it?”

“Mom, I’m awake.”

My mother stared at me blankly, with an expression on her face as if she were hearing a foreign language she couldn’t understand.

It looks like he doesn’t know what I mean.

“I’ll bring Seungju.”

“Should I collect it?”

A crying, anxious voice called my name.

This voice was like Seungju’s voice crying in the dungeon. When

I shook off my hand and stood up, my mother looked at me blankly, and was belatedly shocked and tried to grab me.

But I was already there . It was after running forward.

“Wait a minute. I have to gather. I can’t gather. I have to gather! I have to gather!”

“Someone please stop us.

” I said, leaving my mother’s voice screaming my name behind me and jumping into the dungeon.

Not by accident, but by my own will.

It was my first time.

All the skills I inherited from King Kergis were there. Although it is S-class, I have no confidence in the level of performance it will show.

Seo Ji-han said that I had the magic ability level to barely be able to use the skill, so I just believed him.

In the worst case, the skill may not activate properly. It may not work, and even if it does, it may only have insignificant power.

But I didn’t hesitate to jump into the dungeon.

In fact, I had some faith in it.

There was a lion’s scythe and other items as well.

Seo Ji-han’s items . So, things like the decision not to touch me arbitrarily or the worry that the media would flock to me if I used the lion’s scythe were good at that moment.

My timid younger brother was alone in the dungeon.

That fact was the only thing that mattered to me. I was

vaguely satisfied with that. As I jumped in, expecting to enter the dark cave of the Wangryu Dungeon, a clear sky and a lush forest with a fresh scent unfolded before my eyes.

“Huh?”

An endless expanse.

The first dungeon I entered and the second dungeon I was caught in were both Chungwang-type dungeons, so I vaguely thought that all dungeons would be cave-like. The

scenery that shattered my stereotypes made me pause even in the midst of my urgency. I had no choice.

– Not all dungeons are like Chungwang-type dungeons. The environment is very different depending on who the monsters are in there.

Seo Ji-han explained quickly.

I nodded instead of answering.

It was better.

The winding terrain. Because of this, unlike the Chungwang-style dungeon, where it was difficult to see even a few steps ahead, it is an environment where you can see relatively far. Although thick trees block the view, compared to the closed structure of the Chungwang-style dungeon, you can see all directions very well

. .

If I were to find Seung-ju, this would have been better.

I hurriedly looked everywhere. I

was looking for Seung-ju’s shadow among the dense trees.

But because of the bushes and bushes, I couldn’t see as far as I thought. Not only

Seung-ju, but also other people who might have been caught up with her. I couldn’t see it.

Where is everyone? Did I get left alone?

My feet moved faster than I thought. I

looked for traces of someone who was somewhere, someone’s voice, and without even guessing the direction, I started running blindly.

“Seungju!”

I shouted out my brother’s name out loud.

I was exhausted because I couldn’t see anything even though I was running until I was out of breath.

A monster might come after hearing this, but if I had paid attention to that, I wouldn’t have rushed into the dungeon so recklessly.

Before coming in here . It would have been nice if I had bought some potions that could help in battle from the market, but Seungju could have gone wrong in the short time she spent buying the potions. I saw how quickly people were dying in the dungeon, so I just thought I had to hurry

.

– Calm down . . Quietly concentrate and listen to the sound.

To me who didn’t know what to do, Seo Ji-han told me to calm down

. That’s right.

Let’s calm down. You have to stay calm

. I stopped on the spot. I

tried to listen to the sound, but it felt like it was beating in my ears. It wasn’t easy because of the heartbeat.

But Seo Ji-han, who doesn’t have a heart, seemed to have heard the sound.

– This way. Run this way.

“Did you hear Seung-ju’s voice?”

– No. Someone’s scream.

I lost my mind at that answer.

I had an ominous feeling, as if the scream I couldn’t hear was Seungju’s death. Although

I was already very tired, I urged my legs. I

jumped and jumped.

Until my heart exploded. I felt like Seungju would die if I didn’t run.

Sharp leaves scratched my cheek like a blade next to me as I was running. It

felt like bleeding, but that was a good thing.

Before the scenery could properly form, it passed by like an afterimage.

The taste of blood on my neck. After running hard, I was finally able to arrive at the epicenter of the screams that Seo Ji-han mentioned.

It was a scene of carnage.

People were running away screaming from tree to tree.

And huge wolves were chasing after them.

Someone was falling and screaming. Monsters in the shape of beasts ran wild excitedly, as if a death horse was the signal for a festival.

– They were gathering.

Just as he said, monsters were gathering from all directions.

There may have been a few coming from the direction I ran too.

Don’t run into them . Should I consider myself lucky that I didn’t?

No, I didn’t have the time to think like that.

I was too busy looking for Seung-ju among the people who were falling and running.

It didn’t occur to me that I, standing still and looking away, would be a good prey.

– Son Mo-ah Back!

I turned around after hearing Seo Ji-han’s voice, but my reaction was too late.

A wolf’s maw pounced before my eyes.

It was a huge mouth that looked like it could easily eat my body.

I was struck by a terrifying sight that I could not even imagine. I froze. The only thing that was clear

was Seo Ji-han’s screams telling me to avoid.

“Ah.”

Die.
