[Proceed to the Second Floor . ]

The first thing that greeted the group of 100 players as they entered the second floor was a wave of sweltering heat .

“Ah!”

Extremely high heat without any moisture wrapped around them as they finally looked around at the land which welcomed them .

‘A desert!’

A seemingly endless desert filled with red sand was the stage for the second floor of the dungeon .

‘Oh my God…’

‘This is the worst . ’

They despaired because they encountered one of the worst situations they could possibly find within a dungeon .

Their feelings were understandable . A desert stage was one of the scenarios where humans had the most disadvantages .

‘We have to catch the Firefox here…’

‘Even if this is an A+ rank Dungeon, isn’t this too much?’

Faced with such a situation, if the players didn’t show expressions of despair when realising that they had to face extremely difficult monsters while also fighting against the environment, it would be strange .

‘Just as expected . ’

Kim Woo-jin, who had already expected such a situation, didn’t change his expression .

He knew the danger of this desert stage more than any other person there .

‘But the heat is worse than I expected . ’

In the desert stage, it was not easy to find a place to rest and the most pressing concern would be the availability of drinking water .

Of course, most of the people who entered the dungeon brought enough water to last them at least 5 days in the dungeon, and if they simply drank enough to survive they should be able to last much more than 5 days .

The problem was that if they wanted to stay in a shape that allowed them to battle at any time, the situation would be different .

‘The limit would be 2 days . ’

Kim Woo-jin estimated that the maximum amount of time the people here could fight at their optimal conditions was only 2 days .

And 2 days could only be guaranteed if the opponents the players faced were not too difficult for them to handle .

“There!”

Suddenly, someone shouted, pulling Kim Woo-jin out of his thoughts .

“There’s something over there . ”

Everyone turned to look toward where the person was pointing .

Then, a giant fox about 5 meters long and covered in flames, appeared before their eyes .

No one reacted to the unexpected appearance of the Firefox . Similarly, when the Firefox noticed the 100 players before it, it didn’t move .

It was as if time had stopped .

[Horus’ Eye has opened . ]

Only Kim Woo-jin tried to understand and analyze the current situation they were in .

The Firefox’s information appeared in front of Kim Woo-jin’s golden eyes .

His eyes swept across the Firefox’s body before settling on one of its tails that was glowing brightly .

[The Nine-Tailed Fox’s Third Tail]

->Rarity: Legendary

->Level: Level 1 or higher

->Description: The Third Tail of the Nine-tailed Fox which holds mysterious power . If all nine are gathered, the holder will gain the power of the Nine-tailed Fox .

->Effects:

All stats +5%

+10% Health Recovery rate

+10% Magic Power Recovery Rate

Upon contact, blind an enemy for a certain period of time .

‘The Third Tail . ’

The Tails of the Nine-tailed Fox was a group of nine items which had never been completed, not even before Kim Woo-jin had returned .

Therefore, he had no idea what effect it would have if all nine tails were collected .

The obvious thing was that they were incredibly rare and hard to collect, so their power could go without saying .

‘There is nothing better than blinding . ’

Even then, the effect of the Third Tail was more than enough for a legendary item .

‘I need to get it somehow . ’

Kim Woo-jin’s eyes were glowing .

Then, the eyes of the Firefox and Kim Woo-jin met, following which the fox’s eyes changed .

Until then, no matter how you looked at it, to the Firefox, the eyes of the players were that of prey . In them was nothing but fear, surprise or worry, without daring to harbor any hostility or murderous intent toward it .

However, Kim Woo-jin looked at the Firefox as if it was a prey .

This was enough to ignite the fighting instincts within the fox .

‘It’s coming . ’

Kim Woo-jin noticed immediately that the fox had switched from it’s inquisitive mode into a hunting mode .

His prediction soon became a reality .

Hoooh!

The Firefox made a bizarre sound as it pounced toward the 100 players . It’s speed was fast, appearing to be even faster than a bullet .

“Huk!”

It was too sudden!

By the time the first victim noticed the Firefox’s approach, it was already biting into their shoulder . The people around them were not even fast enough to recognize what happened much less to respond to it .

“Kuuaak!”

Eventually, the player whose shoulder was bitten by the fox let out a loud shout .

Chiiik!

The players could feel the great heat even in the current hot environment and a greasy smell, like cooked meat drifted into their noses .

A chill went up their spines .

The fear moved them .

“Tanks!”

The players were shocked by the sudden situation but they were already prepared to lose their lives in the battle against the Firefox anyway .

“Stop it!”

If they were afraid and were going to hesitate before they even tried to fight, then they wouldn’t be there in the first place .

“Huoh!”

“Huoh!”

Tanks who seemed to be wearing armor with fire resistance, rushed toward the Firefox while shouting to showcase their fighting spirit .

Of course, they rushed in after ensuring that their fire resistance was as high as it could be .

Each of them had items that increased their fire resistance as well as buffs that increased resistance .

‘We just have to hold out . ’

‘We’ll take turns dealing with it . ’

Furthermore they were prepared to deal with the firefox sequentially .

‘Then we can at least get some casting time . ’

During this time, the mages also casted their magic at the Firefox .

But it didn’t take them very long to realize that it wasn’t very effective .

“This monstrous bastard . ”

The moment a tank charged toward the fox and made contact with its flames…

[The powers of an unknown and powerful being gives you darkness . ]

“Huh?”

Those nearby clearly noticed the darkness that covered his eyes before he became the second victim of the fox .

‘What the?’

‘So suddenly?’

They realised that there was more to the Firefox than they’d initially thought and so they had to change their plans .

Of course, it wasn’t that easy .

‘What do we do?’

No one had an idea as to how they should progress . This situation was expected since the group had no information, and no experience dealing with the Firefox .

Ppiiii!

Suddenly an ear piercing whistle spread through the battlefield .

Ppiiii!

The whistle sounded again .

Ppiiii!

Soon after the players heard the third whistle, they began to move .

‘Retreat signal!’

When they heard the whistle three times, the players all scattered without looking back .

‘They all scattered!’

No one hesitated when they heard the previously agreed upon signal .

Prioritizing the agreed signals was something that any player who survived till the second floor could understand .

‘Let’s run for it!’

It was a time when a retreat was necessary so naturally everyone ran away as fast as they could .

There was only one person who interpreted the signal differently .

“Spasiba!”

The moment he heard the signal, Lee Jin-ah charged toward the fox with all his might .

This move was completely unexpected . No, it would be strange if anyone could see it coming .

“Run away!”

“Don’t hesitate to run!”

The moment the retreat signal sounded, everyone ran wildly across the desert sand without looking back . 1

No one looked back and even if they did, they would only think that Lee Jin-ah misinterpreted the signal .

The sacrifice of the rest of the group to save one was the greatest taboo during group activities like this one .

Of course, the Firefox wouldn’t reject such a situation .

Hoooh!

It willingly watched as Lee Jin-ah rushed toward it .

Soon the distance between them was very small and the Firefox opened its mouth wide to welcome Lee Jin-ah .

However, Lee Jin-ah wrapped his arm around its neck as if holding it in a headlock .

At that moment Lee Jin-ah’s eyes shook as the pain of being burned alive, which was one of the greatest pains a human could suffer, spread through his entire body .

“Kuuuuh!”

The fact that he didn’t scream was a surprise in itself .

But that wasn’t the end .

Hoo! Hoo!

The Firefox that was caught by its neck obviously struggled so the pain Lee Jin-ah felt also increased .

Nevertheless, Lee Jin-ah did not let go of the fox in his arms .

Lee Jin-ah held on for dear life . He gave his all as he kept repeating his goal in his head .

‘I will hold on for 6 seconds and eat Hokkaido Snow Crab!’

1 second then 2 seconds…by the time 3 seconds passed, Kim Woo-jin finally appeared .

In his hands was a 2 meter long black spear that had sunlight reflecting off of its neck .

In this state, Kim Woo-jin rushed across the desert .

Eventually, Kim Woo-jin thrust the tip of the spear into the mouth of the Firefox that was desperately trying to escape from Lee Jin-ah’s grasp .

Puk!

The spear went in so deep that the fox was not even able to scream .

Soon however, the spear began to melt .

The heat from the Firefox’s body melted the spear that had pierced its mouth in no time .

Naturally, this wasn’t enough to kill the fox .

Instead of dying, it stared at Kim Woo-jin with eyes that promised murder .

However, Kim Woo-jin was not surprised or scared and he simply gave an order .

“Let it go!”

The instant Lee Jin-ah let go of the fox’s neck, Kim Woo-jin grabbed him and retreated .

“Kuuuh!”

As he hung on Kim Woo-jin’s shoulder, Lee Jin-ah couldn’t help but let out a moan .

“How many seconds?”

Kim Woo-jin answered with a smile .

“5 . 99 seconds . ”

“Re-, really?”

Kim Woo-jin only responded to him briefly .

“Good job . ”

“No, was it really 5 . 99? Are you sure it’s not 59 seconds?”

At that moment, a notification sounded in Kim Woo-jin’s ear .

[The Firefox has been afflicted by Black Blood . ]

[The Firefox’s health has been greatly reduced . ]

[The Firefox’s attack has been greatly reduced . ]

[The Firefox’s defense has been greatly reduced . ]

[The Firefox has been poisoned by deadly poisons and its vitality is rapidly reducing . ]

This was the result after the Firefox consumed the blood of 3000 monsters as well as the black blood formed by condensing the blood poison .

‘This should reduce the Firefox’s abilities to less than half its usual . ’

Of course, this still wouldn’t kill the Firefox immediately .

Rattle!2

So the moment he received the notifications, the skeletons that Kim Woo-jin had already summoned all began to charge toward the injured fox .

At the same time, Kim Woo-jin threw Lee Jin-ah onto the desert sand .

‘It ends here . ’

“Book of the Dead!”

Then immediately summoned a large book .

After Kim Woo-jin opened the book, the slabs that filled the inside were taken out and destroyed .

[The pages of the Book of the Dead have been destroyed . ]

The fragments of the destroyed slabs soon mingled together and transformed into Skeleton Soldiers in white armor .

Ten Skeleton Soldiers who had been prepared specifically for this stage had finally made their appearance and started running towards the Firefox without hesitation .

Lee Jin-ah who saw this sight could not stop himself from commenting .

“I now know the power of money…”

Kim Woo-jin raised an eyebrow at this .

‘He has more vitality than I expected . ’

He considered if he should push him more in battle .

Meanwhile a great fight had begun .
