Chapter 76: 76

There were three guilds and 20 people from each guild, plus Su-hyeun and Lee Ju-ho . The number of people for this raid for the green-colored dungeon was 62 . Su-hyeun felt awkward and uncomfortable to work with so many people like this .

This position was also called the raid leader . He never was a raid leader even in the game . So, this situation was really uncomfortable for him .

1“Well, I guess what I did in Anyang was something like a raid leader . ”

When the outbreak of green dungeon occurred in Anyang City, Su-hyeun was the one who led the people . But at that time, he just had thought he had to gather people . He didn’t think of himself as a raid leader .

“What do you think?”

Lee Ju-ho came close to Su-hyeun, who was standing at the entrance of the dungeon . He poked Su-hyeun’s side and asked, “Well, I was just thinking there were too many people,” Su-hyeun answered .

“Too many?”

“Yes . I don’t feel comfortable working with this many people…”

“I see . Since you always worked alone . ”

Lee Ju-ho nodded as if he understood . Normally, people who climbed the Tower of Trials didn’t do that by themselves . They usually made a team of at least two and as many as ten . And when that happened, of course, the Tower of Trials adjusted the difficulty to the number of awakeners .

But even if the level of difficulty increased, the party that made up for the weakness of each other was far superior to the individual . However, in the case of Su-hyeun, it was impossible to look for a party . It was the same for Hak-joon . Unless the one wished to attempt suicide, people didn’t try anything higher than level 8 .

“If you are capable, it is comfortable to do it alone . As always, the problem is most people are not capable of that,” Lee Ju-ho said .

“I guess so . ”

By the end of their conversation, all team members were ready .

Su-hyeun was the one who was at the head . Since he was the only S-Rank of the raid group, he had to prepare for any risks that could happen .

Splash—

Su-hyeun immersed his feet in the green colored sea . At that moment, he felt like he was being sucked deeply under the sea . Soon, in front of his eyes, the huge dome-shaped space appeared under the sea .

It looked like a dungeon in the sea, like an underwater city . It was a world that would appear in a movie . Numerous huge ships sank and fell on the ground . Countless buildings were scattered around . Above was the sea, but underneath was land . It was a wonderful experience .

“Wow…”

Lee Ju-ho and other awakeners who followed Su-hyeun also admired . It was an amazing dungeon that even surprised a person like Su-hyeun, who had experienced many dungeons . It was natural that other people were amazed .

“Is it like Atlantis? What kind of dungeon is so gorgeous like this?”

“It’s not a normal dungeon,” Su-hyeun said as he looked around .

The other guild masters including Lee Kang-hee responded, “Isn’t that obvious? The level of the dungeon is…”

“Light,” Su-hyeun said as he pointed the above, “the light comes all the way down here . ”

“…Yes?”

“We are at the bottom of the ocean . No matter how shallow the depth, the light doesn’t come through all the way to the bottom . Especially not this clear . ”

What Su-hyeun said was true . In the case of a typical cave-shaped dungeon, there was no way to get the sunlight . In this case, they just thought that it was bright because the top was not blocked . But Su-hyeun’s realistic sense did not miss even a small thing . First of all, he doubted about the background of the dungeon .

Kyao, kyao—

Miru, who was laying around Su-hyeun’s neck, suddenly began to cry . It raised its head to the top .

Su-hyeun muttered, stroking Miru’s head, “I guess it won’t be easy . ”

Su-hyeun narrowed his eyes . Lee Ju-ho looked at Su-hyeun and swallowed with tension .

“What are you doing? Let’s move!”

Somebody urged from behind . He was Lee Kang-hee . Then, the other two guild masters raised their voices toward him .

“Hey, why are you in such a hurry? We have to figure out the structure of the dungeon first . ”

“Yes . Let’s trust Su-hyeun and wait for now . ”

One of them was the Gambler’s guild master, Park Mo-young . The other was Red Devil’s guild master Kim Taek-hyun . Lee Kang-hee crumbled his face as if he didn’t like the other two who complained to him . Read more chapters at Listnovel . com

“It’s okay . As Mr . Kang-hee said, there is nothing to figure out here now . Let’s slowly move and see,” Su-hyeun said and began to walk .

Lee Kang-hee glanced at the two men once and led members of Papillon Guild . The other two guilds were followed as well . The city was quiet . Even though more than 60 people moved together, they felt unnatural that the sounds from their footsteps were filling the whole space .

“It is so quiet . ”

Lee Ju-ho, who muttered in a very quiet voice, was surprised and closed his mouth . He didn’t expect his voice to sound so loud . It was that quiet .

“What are you so nervous? Relax,” Su-hyeun said .

“Well, I can’t help it . It is so quiet . ”

“It’s better to deal with the monster’s raids . This quiet dungeon is better than a noisy forest with birds chirping and beast crying . ”

“Well . That makes sense but…”

It was amazing that Lee Ju-ho was able to think so reasonably even in this eerie situation . He shook his head and changed the topic .

“This place . Is this a place like Atlantis?”

“Probably not . ”

“Why not? Here is the underwater city, too . ”

“But still . ”

Su-hyeun was sure that this place was not Atlantis . There was nothing to say to explain why . Even if he told him the truth — that he had visited Atlantis — he would not believe him .

Su-hyeun thought .

This place was not more prosperous than Atlantis, and it was much more severely destroyed, just like a ghost city .

He could not feel any signs or gazes, even though he was paying attention to all his five senses .

Krrr—

That time, Miru started crying low . Su-hyeun turned his head .

“Watch out, left and right!”

“What?”

Swish—

Hundreds of arrows came from all sides . They were not ordinary arrows . Each one of them was powerful enough to penetrate an iron plate . Because it was not a living monster, there was no sign . It was a trap .

Swoosh—!

Woosh, whoosh—!

Flames soared from all sides . They weakened the arrows . More than 60 awakeners either struck or blocked such arrows one by one .

Swish, swiiish—

But the arrows were not stopped . The arrows with magic came from all in different directions . Su-hyeun wrapped the area with his Flame skill and looked around .

Looking at the trajectory, he could tell where the arrows came from . The problem was the distance .

“To destroy all the traps from here…”

Purr—

That time, Miru cried while watching Su-hyeun .

He nodded and asked, “You know how to do it, right?”

Purr—!

Miru answered with spirit . Su-hyeun was a little nervous . Miru was only five days old .

Who would believe in their child if not their own father?

Schwing—

Su-hyeun drew his sword out of the scabbard . He injected his magic to the sword . Then, he closed his eyes and felt the trajectory of the arrow . The situation was similar to the training done in the basement of Authority building .

The distance was far, but the difficulty was easier . Unlike the slabs, the traps didn’t move .

“Hey, Miru,” Su-hyeun called .

Purr—

Miru cried low .

Whirl, whirl, whirl—

The magic that was injected into the sword was amplified and quickly grew out of power . Before the power disappeared, Su-hyeun quickly swung the sword .

Swish—

The magic shot through the sword was shattered into numerous branches . They flew towards the traps working from side to side .

Wham, wham—

Crack, crack—

The number of arrows that came flying was significantly reduced . Su-hyeun gathered his magic to the sword again . Miru did the same . To be precise, Miru was amplifying the power of Su-hyeun .

“Good . Like that…”

Clang—

Wham, wham—

Su-hyeun who smashed all the remaining traps looked at Miru with a grin .

“Good job . ”

Meow—!

1Miru answered with excitement at Su-hyeun’s praise . In the meantime, other awakeners who were in the panic looked at Su-hyeun with confused faces .

“W-what was that? What?”

“I don’t know…”

“Did he just intercept all the traps from here?”

They saw it, but they could not believe it . Lee Ju-ho would have been the same as them if he had not seen Su-hyeun before . What Su-hyeun just did was something like a superhuman skill .

Lee Ju-ho thought,

He wondered if Su-hyeun could focus more in an actual fight . This was not just a matter of strong and weak . Su-hyeun quickly figured out where the traps were . He focused his magic and controlled to distribute it . The accuracy was amazing, too . It was not possible if any of them were lacking . Originally, it was a task for dozens of people, not just one . But Su-hyeun did it all by himself .

“You make me speechless,” Lee Ju-ho said .

“You can skip the praise . Everybody all right?”

The other awakeners nodded .

“Yes, yes . ”

“Everybody is fine . ”

“We are the same . ”

Fortunately, there was no injury because of the quick response .

Su-hyeun nodded as if he was relieved and said, “Then let’s keep going . ”

Su-hyeun began to walk again . The team which had been stopped for a while moved again . Lee Ju-ho walked close to Su-hyeun . He looked at Miru who was making purr sounds . It was smiling, lost the plot .

“Was that Miru’s ability? Amplifying your magic?”

“Yes . It is still young, so it couldn’t do anything but a simple supporting role . ”

“That was a way better than just a simple supporting role . Do you know how hard to get magic boosting items?”

“It doesn’t only boost the magic . It also can help to increase Strength, Agility, and other physical abilities,” Su-hyeun said .

Lee Ju-ho was speechless at that response .

he thought .

This was quite comparable to some fraudulent items . It was not even one year old . Lee Ju-ho was amazed by Miru .

“Hey, Miru?”

Purr—?

At Lee Ju-ho’s friendly calling, Miru tilted its head sideways .

“Let’s be close friends . ”

Grrrrrr—

Miru exposed its teeth as if it only cared for its father . Lee Ju-ho, who felt like he was dumped by a woman who had a secret crush, shook his head and sighed out .

“Umm…”

At that time, Su-hyeun stopped walking and looked around as if he was embarrassed .

Lee Ju-ho asked in a weak voice, “What is wrong?”

“This place…”

Clink— Clink—

“…might be a little troublesome dungeon,” Su-hyeun said .

They could hear a shrill sound from everywhere .
