The Dungeon Cleaning Life of a Once Genius Hunter - Chapter 73
073
073
A dark passage somewhere in an underwater dungeon.
When about 10% of the oxygen was left, Kim Min-ju, Cha Seok-hyun, and Yoo Ji-woo were barely able to find the boss.
Grrrr-.
Big space.
Inside, a huge creature making strange cries began to move slowly.
“Wow…”
The first to react to the creature in front of him was guild leader Cha Seok-hyeon.
It was so big that the eye couldn’t even see it all.
30m? No, about 50m?
An elongated body covered with tens of thousands of scales.
A head big enough to swallow 50 people in one gulp and sharp blue eyes.
The huge thorns sprouting all over its body seemed like they wouldn’t even allow anyone to get close.
“…Shall we go back?”
Yoo Ji-woo also smiled embarrassed at the overwhelming appearance.
Cha Seok-hyun almost nodded his head unconsciously.
If that woman hadn’t pulled out her weapon with a casual expression.
“There isn’t much oxygen. “I will proceed as quickly as possible.”
“Okay, sleep…”
Cha Seok-hyun couldn’t continue his words.
This was because there was not a single hesitation felt on her back as she calmly approached the boss. As if it were a natural thing.
Defeat a red-level boss with just three people?
This is a story that would make anyone laugh.
This is especially true when you look at yourself, who is ranked second in the country.
chance?
It is not a situation where such a thing can be questioned in the first place.
There is not enough electricity and not enough oxygen.
There isn’t even much information about the boss.
Just a hopeless situation.
In this situation, she thinks there is a good chance.
No, it’s not at a promising level.
Now that woman is convinced.
They say they can subdue it 100%.
‘That person is not normal either…’
When I heard it, did he say he was in a priestly relationship with the head of the department?
Truly the teacher and the student.
Cha Seok-hyun smiled without even realizing it.
“Ugh, I don’t know.”
He finally let out a light sigh.
He took out all the dozens of robot dogs he had brought from his arms.
[Unique Skill: Steam Punk – Awakening] A
mechanic class skill that can produce guild-level power even with a single body, and Cha Seok-hyun’s trademark.
[Revolutionary Legion]
Clap, clap, clap―.
The robot dogs started making loud noises and changing their shapes all at once.
Eventually, dozens of large steam golems were completed.
Cha Seok-hyun’s team, which brought him to second place in the domestic rankings, was revealed.
“If I had known this would happen, I would have brought all the ammo from the warehouse.”
Yoo Ji-woo swallowed his regret and took out his weapon.
[Unique Skill: Artemis]
Clap―.
Artemis, a specially made sniper rifle based on my own skills.
He immediately lowered his stance and aimed the softly glowing muzzle precisely at the boss.
“Whoa…”
Kim Min-joo took a deep breath.
He adjusted his sword in front of the Imoogi with its teeth exposed.
[Unique Skill: Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara – Awakening]
[Six-Thoughts Avalokitesvara]
The moment when a mysterious air current began to flow along the entire body.
[Fourth Strike – Eleven-Faced Avalokitesvara]
Her red eyes flashed.
***
As expected from the beginning, it wasn’t easy.
Kaaaaagh!
A roar that feels like your whole body is being twisted.
If I was even slightly distracted, I might lose my mind.
Every time the boss moved, the entire dungeon shook, and if you got hit even once by the swinging tail and rushing head, you would die.
Ji-ing-.
“Avoid blood!!”
Quagwagwang-!!
Above all, that breath of immense power.
You have to be prepared to lose some of your limbs the moment you even brush against it.
Minju Kim used the entire space and moved her legs without stopping.
The red eye glow could not keep up with her speed, leaving a dark afterimage.
Of course, I couldn’t just avoid it.
I had to dig deep, even if it was too much.
[Six Avalokitesvara] It’s
time to catch your breath once again.
[1st attack – Holy Sound]
Sweep, swoop.
He immediately penetrated under the Imoogi’s chin and delivered a sword strike precisely towards its neck.
Kyaaaaa!
But it wasn’t enough to cut down that huge guy in one go.
Instead of cutting, the sword was deeply embedded in the scales.
Just as Kim Min-ju was momentarily embarrassed, the Imoogi’s mouth widened right in front of her nose.
A moment of desperation.
[Unique skill: Artemis]
[Bulletin – 15 days]
[Check reload]
Bang!
Yoo Ji-woo’s bullet went right through the Imoogi’s left eye.
Wow!!
The Imoogi writhed in pain.
Kim Min-ju used that opportunity to pull out the sword from the scales.
[Revolutionary Corps – Concentrated Fire]
Bang bang bang bang―.
Boom, boom, boom!
Immediately after, the steam golems’ bullets and cannons rained down mercilessly.
However, it could not cause significant damage. It just draws the boss’s attention and gives Kim Min-ju an opportunity to attack.
The same was true for Yoo Ji-woo’s bullet.
The powerful bullets fired one by one at a critical moment created a small gap each time.
With the help of the two people, Kim Min-ju’s sword flew without a single mistake.
No conversation took place during the process.
Just an experience and a feeling. They relied solely on those two to perform their respective roles perfectly.
Dozens of attacks followed like that.
Before I knew it, the bottom of the sea was turning red with the blood that the boss had shed.
“Heo, heo, heo…”
Kim Min-ju took a deep breath.
As much as I exerted all my strength, my stamina was dropping rapidly.
But… it is possible.
If things continue like this, we can really subdue them.
But the problem is.
‘Damn my vision…’
My oxygen was almost running out.
My vision became blurry and it became increasingly difficult to control my body. My head hurt like it was going to explode.
I am feeling the limits of my physical strength.
I can’t take it any longer.
This attack must end.
“CEO Jiwoo Yoo.”
Minju Kim took a deep breath and opened her mouth.
“yes.”
“Please leave a gap of about 5 seconds.”
“…You have 5 seconds to hit all the bullets you have.”
“Please do so.”
“…all right.”
“CEO Seok-Hyeon Cha, please take off those scales. “I guess it’s possible, right?”
“We’ll try, but we’ll have to blow up all the robots we have now. If that happens, I won’t be able to fight anymore…”
“It’s okay.”
Kim Min-ju continued speaking while holding his sword tightly.
“Because I’m going to finish it this time.”
A boss room filled with silence.
It was the moment when the boss, who showed no signs of falling despite dozens of attacks, showed his teeth again.
[Unique Skill: Artemis – Awakening]
Yoo Ji-woo put all the bullets in his belt into the gun.
[Ammunition – Excess]
[Overload]
I pulled the trigger without hesitation.
Pick-.
Kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
The bullet fired silently hit the Imoogi’s head.
[Revolutionary Corps – Rebellion]
Clap, clap, clap―.
Without missing the opportunity, all of the steam golems clung to the boss. Soon it started to turn red and feverish.
Boom boom boom!!!!
All the robots exploded with a fierce explosion sound.
At the same time, Minjoo Kim closed his eyes.
[Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara – Awakening] Yoo
Ji-woo consumed all of his bullets, and Cha Seok-hyeon’s Transform Form Weapon exploded.
[Six Avalokitesvara Inside and Out]
[Contact – Avalokitesvara Avalokitesvara]
There is no second chance.
If you don’t finish here… you die.
[Right Dharma King Tathagata]
Kugugugu-.
The airflow that had been flowing out of her all along burst out like an explosion. At the same time, the surrounding area began to vibrate loudly.
Cha Seok-hyun and Yoo Ji-woo could not keep their mouths shut at the sight before their eyes.
Kim Min-ju’s current appearance could never be called human.
Finally, the moment when she grabbed the sword and took a step.
Suddenly, my legs lost strength and my body slumped forward.
My chin and knees hit the ground.
Oxygen had already run out.
Still, I wasted too much breathing trying to concentrate.
‘Please move…!’
I gritted my teeth as if they were going to break.
Shake –
In the end, she couldn’t get up.
The moment I fell, unable to control my body, the sound of two people screaming came from my helmet. Still, she couldn’t lift a finger.
A consciousness that gradually becomes distant.
Before I knew it, I could see the huge teeth of the Imoogi rushing towards me.
‘…It’s over.’
The last thing that came into the sight of Kim Min-ju, who was losing consciousness like that…
[Acquired Skill: Omnipotence]
was a huge white spear.
With this, her consciousness ceased.
thud-.
At the same time, the huge head fell helplessly to the floor.
“….”
Air bubbles leaked out from the corner of Kim Jun-woo’s mouth.
Bare body without a suit.
A strike of unbelievable power.
Cha Seok-hyun and Yoo Ji-woo could not keep their mouths shut at the sight.
***
Korean Association Yeouido Administrative Headquarters.
I foolishly forgot that the board of directors meeting had been convened through the association president.
While I was in the middle of organizing the site, the promise suddenly came to mind and I immediately rushed to Yeouido… but
two hours had already passed.
I opened the conference room door in a huff and entered.
Sure enough, at the same time, complaints from the directors poured out. And the most prominent among them was Planning Director Lee Doo-sik.
“Hey dude! “How many hours are you going to be late while calling busy people?!”
“sorry. “Something happened.”
“You were saying that if you’re late, you’ll be late…”
But he trailed off as he looked me up and down.
“Why are you so wet? “Is it raining outside?”
“no. “Go for a swim and then come back.”
“…?”
His eyebrows waggled.
“Why is your face like that again? “Who hit you?”
“Well… it’s no big deal. “You don’t have to worry about it.”
As I said that, I gave a light silent bow to the association president, Park In-beom, who was sitting at the head of the table.
Then, the president of the association spoke first in a heavy voice.
“How did the operation go?”
“The subjugation was successfully completed. “Only three people captured the boss.”
At those words, admiration came pouring in from all over.
The directors also seemed genuinely surprised.
“Except for team leader Kim Min-ju, there are no injuries. “They say it’s not a serious injury, so you don’t have to worry.”
“hmm.”
The president of the association nodded once.
“Now let’s get to the point. “What does it mean that we might have to deal with the International Association?”
I looked at the surrounding atmosphere and cautiously opened my mouth.
“During this operation, my men were attacked by the International Association.”
“what?”
“I think they were trying to push for a hostile takeover of the Korean association.”
The conference room was engulfed in cold silence.
All directors, including the president of the association, froze, unable to open their mouths.
I continued talking.
“Strictly speaking, it seems to be another organization related to the International Association, but it would be difficult to give details here…” He
trailed off and hurriedly changed his mind.
“Anyway, the attack failed. It was dangerous, but fortunately we were not harmed. Thanks to that, they didn’t get what they wanted. That means they could attack again.”
And I prepared it much more carefully.
“…Are you sure? “It was the International Association that attacked us.”
“Unfortunately, there is no evidence.”
“It’s just heartache.”
“you’re right. But that doesn’t mean you can stay still. We’ll have to somehow prepare for the future. However….”
“Our current situation does not allow us to keep the international association in check.”
I nodded.
Even if you have signed a partnership agreement with a guild, they are only an operational force and cannot be of any help outside of that.
We have already become the target of international associations.
As long as you have the time stone, the attack will not stop.
And even though I know that, I’m not a brat enough to suffer.
You don’t know it once, but you don’t know it twice.
Now that you know their purpose, you have to be prepared to fight back somehow.
“We need the strength to respond to future attacks. In order to do that, I would have to grow even bigger than I am now… but in this small piece of land, no matter how much I grow, there will be a limit.”
“That’s right. “Even if it is the largest independent association, it is ultimately an independent association.”
The president of the association nodded.
“So? How are you going to increase your size?”
“Isn’t it obvious?”
I looked at the president of the association carefully and expressed what I had in mind.
“I have to go abroad.”
