The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 63

Near Jamsil.

As we rushed there, the control team, medical support team, and most of the operation team had already arrived.

The Chilseong Guild that ran after me had more serious faces than ever. In particular, Guild Leader Son Jong-hyun was almost in a state of panic.

It is said that his wife belongs to the ‘Earl Gray’ guild where the accident occurred in that dungeon.

Leaving behind him, who was almost in a daze, I approached the team leader and quietly asked him.

“What happened?”

“The dungeon is an orange-level dimensional dungeon. Since this is a dungeon with so many risk factors, we were planning to collect as much information as possible and carry out a subjugation within the next week… I think we entered for the purpose of interception.”

Team Leader Pyeon answered while checking the tablet PC.

Orange level dungeons are places where the operations team can only be conquered after being fully prepared.

This means that it is definitely not a dungeon that a private guild without a systematic system would enter to intercept.

‘If you install it without knowing the topic, you end up like this.’

My teeth chattered.

“Are you sure there was an accident? “Do you understand the internal situation?”

“The control team monitor confirmed entering the dungeon an hour ago, and the boss monster stopped moving after that. “I quickly checked with the drone and found that the boss room was closed.”

It was despairing news.

There are only two cases where the boss room is closed.

First, if you haven’t entered the boss room.

Or, if you enter the boss room but there is no battle for a long time.

If it’s the former, it’s fortunate, but if the current situation is the latter…

“We believe that we have been wiped out….”

“Aaaah!!”

Guild leader Son Jong-hyun’s screams rang out, perhaps because he had heard Team Leader Pyeon’s words. And then, losing his temper, he rushed to the entrance of the dungeon.

“What are you doing! catch!”

“Let go! “Let go of this!”

“What are you going to do when you go in? Orange level! “It’s a dangerous place even if you go in with a plan!”

“Just calm down first…!”

The operations team hunters tried to stop him, but his eyes were already completely relaxed.

puck-!

In the end, I went over and punched him in the face.

Even though he controlled his strength, he collapsed on the floor as if his entire body had lost strength.

“Please calm down. “If they go in now, the damage will only increase.”

“….”

He looked up at me with a vain look on his face.

“Then you fucking leave me like that? “Is this because you are self-employed?”

“yes. I am self-employed. “Then why did you act so presumptuously by falling for the words of a fool?”

“That’s what you’re going to say…!”

“And I didn’t say I would leave it alone.”

“…?”

Son Jong-hyun opened his eyes wide.

I continued with a light sigh.

“We’ll go in. So please don’t make a big deal out of it anymore.”

Son Jong-hyun no longer moved. Instead, he just looked at me with a puzzled face.

“That manager…”

At that time, the team leader approached me and whispered carefully.

“What is it?”

“No matter how much you think about it, there is no reason for us to step forward. We don’t have much information yet, so if we try to rescue them, even the operation team may suffer damage. I feel bad saying this, but… I am self-employed. And if I go in now, it might already be too late…”

I nodded without realizing it.

That is correct.

There is no need for the association to step in when people are talking shit to each other and causing accidents.

If you look at it objectively, yes.

A rescue operation is several times more difficult than a regular subjugation operation. The budget involved is enormous, and even if the operation is successful, it is not a profitable operation.

If you look at it financially, it’s a total loss.

However, to me now, leaving the company without an accident was more important than just tens of billions of won.

The next person will take care of the cost.

“Operation team.”

“yes!”

“Seal off all areas near the dungeon right now. When the guilds start rushing in after hearing the news of the accident, it doesn’t work either. “Use force to prevent anyone from entering.”

“All right.”

“The control team reports the situation inside the dungeon in real time.”

“yes.”

“And Operation Team 1. “You go in with me.”

Operation Team 1 behind me nodded.

He then spoke to Kim Min-ju.

“I have no intention of taking my time as this is a serious issue. “I will lead, so stay alert and follow me.”

“sure.”

A humorless answer.

Team 1 members were also more serious than ever.

“Okay everyone, get your gear.”

The start of the operation was declared.

***

“Accident?”

The news had just reached Yang Min-ho, who was drinking at the bar.

“okay. I just heard about this from someone I know at the National Police Agency. It looks like the guild guys mistakenly entered the orange level because they mistook it for a dungeon.”

“Oh, that wasn’t a mistake.”

Yang Minho hung the phone on his shoulder and answered awkwardly.

Rep. Jeong Hoon was quite taken aback by the unexpected answer.

“What what? “If it’s not an illusion, what is it?”

“When I first handed over the information about the dungeon to be intercepted to the guild guys. They told me it was a blue level dungeon. Well, I guess they went in there with full confidence.”

“Why why…?”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

Yang Minho asked back in a light voice.

“What better cause to cause conflict than someone dying?”

Rep. Jeong Hoon could not bear to answer immediately.

I asked him to take care of everything, but I never thought he would be this crazy.

“Well, that’s true, but… When I heard the news, I heard that the association had already launched a rescue operation.”

At that moment, Yang Min-ho’s eyebrows twitched.

“…yes?”

“They said that Team Leader Kim Min-ju, Operation Team 1, and Director Kim Jun-woo are directly leading the operation.”

“Why the Association? That shit happened because of the guild. “You’re going to rescue the guild when blocking the intercept isn’t enough?”

“I know you guys. Well… I heard that too, but I’m not sure.”

Yang Minho’s head moved quickly.

But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t understand it at all.

What benefit does the Intercept rescue operation have for the Association?

Instead of benefiting, it’s obvious that if you make a mistake, you’ll only incur a huge loss…

‘Kim Jun-woo… What kind of plan are you planning?’

Yang Minho’s eyes sparkled.

When he did not respond, Rep. Jeong Hoon opened his mouth again.

“Anyway, since the elite team has come forward, I think there will be a rescue. And once rescued, it doesn’t seem like the guild will bother the association any more. Isn’t this… going to cause a problem with the request?”

“well.”

Yang Minho tilted his head.

“It’s not a dungeon where an inexperienced operations team leader and a former janitor can do anything.”

“Really?”

“Yes. “Instead, you could just go out and rescue them and only make things worse.”

Yang Minho said, trying hard to keep his composure.

Rep. Jeong Hoon also seemed to feel a little relieved.

“okay. Well, you can’t make a mistake. “I will trust you and wait.”

“Of course. “Don’t worry.”

Yang Minho hung up the phone and sighed heavily. Then, I swirled my glass and gathered my thoughts.

Of course, it was not expected that the association would conduct a rescue operation directly. When you think about it with common sense, it made absolutely no sense.

However, even if a variable arose, the plan could not be modified now.

All we can do is keep going like this and hope that the rescue operation fails.

‘But just in case, I should prepare to cut off his tail.’

Yang Minho’s eyes lit up.

***

The inside of the dungeon was a dark old castle. It felt like I had come to the Middle Ages.

Something similar to a bat was flying around the black exterior wall, and lightning was striking the view outside the window.

“There is not much information, so we move in slowly.”

“yes.”

Together with Operation Team 1, we carefully advanced along the large hallway.

If it were a dungeon I had defeated, I would have rushed straight to the boss room without even looking around, but unfortunately, this was my first time in this dungeon as well.

There were so many rooms, and it was so dark that it was difficult to see clearly. I also couldn’t relax my nerves because I didn’t know where something would pop out.

The good news is that I at least know what a boss is.

In fact, I couldn’t say it was fortunate that I didn’t know anything about it except that its name was Black Tiger Dragon.

Well, since there is a dragon, I can roughly guess what kind of monster it will be.

‘Tsk, the flying guy is really picky.’

While I was muttering to myself, the radio rang.

He was the team leader.

“Where are you currently?”

“We have just entered and are moving forward along the hallway.”

“If you go straight, there will be a staircase on your right. If you go up the stairs to the top, there is a large door, which is presumed to be the boss room.”

“I understand.”

I answered briefly and then quickly increased my walking speed.

Fortunately, there were no monsters running out on the way.

Thanks to this, we arrived at the location indicated by the team leader without difficulty and took a moment to catch our breath in front of the large door.

Please just stay alive, I told myself and opened the door.

“….”

The inside of the room was so dark that you couldn’t even see in front of your nose. It seemed like the only way to confirm was to go in person.

It was that time when everyone slowly entered the room, holding their breath.

Rustling―.

“…!”

A red light flashed in front along with the sound of footsteps.

“Bow down!!”

Sigh!

Something thin and sharp grazed my head.

An attack that would have pierced the forehead if it had been a little late.

As soon as we entered, everyone was very shocked by the situation where they almost lost their breath, but I quickly raised my hand and instructed them to stop the movement.

“Don’t move. “It responds to sound.”

He gave an order in a barely audible voice.

Fortunately, it seemed like it had been delivered and everyone froze in place.

A situation where you can’t even breathe.

I don’t know what kind of space it is or where the boss is… but there may be survivors, but I can’t use powerful skills with a large range.

‘It’s more annoying than I thought…’

I wonder how many minutes passed without me being able to move a finger.

As my eyes became accustomed to the darkness, I gradually began to see the shape of space.

It looked to be about 100 pyeong.

The first thing that caught my eye was a number of silhouettes crouching in the opposite corner, holding their breath. They are survivors.

‘It’s alive.’

I was truly relieved.

Of course, I couldn’t move hastily. Because I haven’t found the boss yet.

I rolled my eyes again and looked around the space. Before long, I was able to find the boss on the ceiling.

Black Tiger Dragon.

As its name suggests, it has a huge black body, eight red eyes, and eight legs.

‘Fuck. Why is that a dragon…?’

It was a huge spider.
