NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 114 - Draug Dungeon (2)
“Thank you very much. Hunter Kim Seo-joon.”
Even though the story ended like that, Lee Tae-beom continued to thank Seo-joon.
“I will never forget the hard work you sacrificed for the safety of the country and people!”
And somehow, it seemed that I was misunderstanding something.
But Seo-joon didn't bother to correct it.
“sure. Do not worry!”
After all, good was good.
next day.
Seo-joon told his teammates the story of Lee Tae-bum that happened yesterday.
“...So that's how I ended up raiding the Draug Dungeon.”
After Seo-joon's story ended, the team suddenly began to gather.
“Then during that time…”
“Probably not…”
“Then…”
Then they started whispering among themselves.
It seemed like they were sharing opinions about the current situation.
again after some time.
Seoyoon took a step forward as a representative and asked Seojun.
“So you're saying you're going alone this time, Seo-joon?”
“yes. I guess I will have to do that this time.”
Seojun nodded.
Draugh is a spirit-type monster, and even S-rank hunters couldn't withstand the psychic attacks of Draugr.
It didn't matter to Seo-jun, who had an immovable mind, but the other team members didn't.
Something that could put your life at risk.
So this time I decided it was better to go alone.
And even though it's dangerous, it's also dangerous.
Most of all, it was because if I had to go alone, I could increase the progress rate of Shakyamuni's lecture to the maximum level without worrying about my teammates.
“For one reason or another, I think I’d better go alone this time.”
The very moment Seo-jun announces his intention to go alone.
“Go carefully, Captain!”
“I won’t go out to meet you, oppa!”
“Bye.”
The team members nodded their heads with bright colors on their faces.
“Because I’ll be in charge here. Don't worry and go slowly.”
Even Seoyoon.
Seo-joon muttered involuntarily out of embarrassment.
“Uh… are you not worried?”
“yes? who? A draugr?”
Then Seoyoon tilted her head and asked.
Seo-jun said to Seo-yoon with an absurd look.
“Of course I am concerned. Why are you worried about the draugr?”
“yes? Are you worried about Seojun...?”
Seoyoon started tilting her head left and right.
And no matter how much she thought about it, Seoyoon opened her mouth again as if she couldn't come to mind.
“Is there anything in this world that can worry Seo-jun?”
After that, as if defending Seoyoon's words, the team members added word by word.
“It might be the end of the earth.”
“Why do you have one? money.”
“Oh, you have money.”
“Even now, whenever I hear the sound of money, Woowook Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee of her of of of course of course...”
Soo-yeon seemed to still be in shock from yesterday.
Seojun let out a small sigh.
I wonder if I believe that much...
This feeling is somehow strange.
Seo-joon shook his head as if brushing off his sad heart.
“Aye, that’s it. By the way, I'm going to raid alone, so why do you like it so much?”
Seoyoon answered with a soft smile.
“That’s because you can take a break from dungeon raids while Seo-jun is gone.”
“......”
Seo-joon was able to realize that questions beyond this were meaningless.
And Seoyoon burst into laughter at Seojun's dumbfounded expression and said.
“When are you going to raid? Listening to you, it sounds like you still have time. I will help you prepare.”
Then, Seoyoon made a face telling her to just say anything.
However, Seojun shook his head and stood up.
“no. it's okay.”
“yes? No matter what, since it's a draug dungeon, there are a lot of things to prepare. I will help you.”
“no. It's really okay. If I waste time and get in touch with Youngseong, it becomes a headache again. We have to leave right now.”
“......yes?”
Seoyoon's expression went blank for a moment, as if she didn't understand Seojun's words.
Seo-jun looked at Seo-yoon and smiled.
“Then I’ll be back!”
#
meanwhile.
The fact that a draug dungeon had been created in Korea spread without knowing it.
First of all, there were reporters who basically resided in the association.
Because the Pro Hunter Association has always been a place where incidents and accidents never end.
Besides, it's been a while since the pro hunter test ended.
There was no news related to Seo-joon, but it was all the more so because of the reporters who flocked to it.
That's why Lee Tae-beom thought about keeping the facts about the Draug Dungeon, but stopped.
It was because the danger of the Draug Dungeon was not going to disappear just by hiding it.
There will be confusion, but the people should have been aware of it in case of an unexpected situation.
Therefore, a horse without feet travels a thousand miles.
It had only been a day, but the news had already spread far and wide across the country.
At the same time, it was also naturally known that Seojun, not Youngseong this time, was handling the Draug dungeon.
『[Teal-taker]: Breaking news) 9th Draug dungeon created in Korea.』
.
.
“This is a story I heard from someone I know in the association.
I heard that the Draug Dungeon was created yesterday.
So yesterday, the Association was in an emergency for a while, but
the problem is that this Draug Dungeon is handled by Seo-Jun Kim?”
.
.
.
└[American Fish and Shellfish]: Huh? Seojun Kim? Isn't that what spirituality has to deal with? The Draug Dungeon is very dangerous.
└ [Telling Goja]: It's not accurate, but they say it's because they can't contact Youngseong right now. If the break breaks, it's all over, so I heard that Kim Seo-joon will step in before that. I have some time, but there are unforeseen circumstances.
└ [Between Us and Gomen Nasai]: Seojun Kim has a history of dealing with drags during raid battles, but... is that okay? Sorcery and reality must be very different. Isn't Kim Seo-joon dying for no reason?
└[Three meals a day, what kind of bastard are you]: I'm honestly a bit worried. There's a reason why spirituality is different than other cataclysm heroes. I think the president of the association asked for it, but I don't know if I'm losing valuable talent like this.
└[Benedict corps deployment]: I agree with that. Even in foreign countries, when a draug dungeon is created, there is a place to find spirituality. It's not like they don't have Cataclysm heroes. It's too dangerous to look at.
└[There is something to protect and something to hide]: In that sense, I think Kim Seo-joon is really great. Even so, stepping out doesn’t mean risking your own life because people will end up in danger.
└[The cream puff door opens]: That's right. The future is bright, but you're taking unnecessary risks. Even if you leave it alone, no one will say anything. I don't think I would. This is why Seojun shines. I want to light up.
└[Losing the cow and fixing the brain a bit]: Because of this, it is compared to the black dragon. Ryu Jin-cheol had never done anything like this before. If you want to do something dangerous, say I don't know. And take all the benefits you will enjoy.
└[☆Twelve Thousand]: You are right. Even back then, it wasn't like this. On the other hand, Hunter Kim Seo-jun seems to be a little different from the image of a pro hunter somewhere. These were the Cataclysm heroes of my childhood.
└ [McMorning Disappointing]: Is it true that the above nickname smells like mold? Reliability is greatly increased.
.
.
In the midst of such a focus of national attention.
Although it was unintentional, the image of Seo-joon was getting better and better.
Among them, there were a little... no, a lot of things that were clearly different from the truth, but anyway.
As the story spread and was talked about, the image of Seo-joon continued to soar.
On the other hand, Ryu Jin-cheol was compared to Seo-jun and his image continued to deteriorate.
and.
“Hunter Kim Seo-joon should do well…”
Lee Tae-beom’s worries continued to grow.
Yes, yesterday when Lee Tae-beom visited Seo-joon.
It was because Seo-joon's expression didn't look very good.
Even if you pretended not to, the Draug Dungeon seemed quite difficult to Seo-joon.
However, it seemed that they had no choice but to sacrifice for the safety of the people.
Because of this, Lee Tae-bum felt uncomfortable because Seo-joon seemed to have taken it forcibly because of his request.
If things go wrong and things go wrong for Seo-jun...
“Whoa...”
Lee Tae-bum's sighs only grew thicker.
of course.
It was Lee Tae-bum's personal thoughts.
“Nevertheless, you took the lead like this...”
Those were facts that were clearly different from Seo-jun's thoughts... Anyway.
“I'll have to see if there's any more budget for Hunter Kim Seo-joon.”
Seo-joon was still, but the situation was going by itself.
It was then that Lee Tae-bum was carefully examining the budget documents.
“President of the Association! Association President!”
From somewhere, I heard an urgent call for Lee Tae-bum.
When I slightly raised my head, an association employee was running towards Lee Tae-bum in a huff.
His facial expressions and actions seemed quite impatient even to look at.
Lee Tae-beom asked an association employee who approached him in an instant.
“What is going on?”
And the words of the association staff that followed.
“I got a call from Yeo Young-seong!”
“what?”
Lee Tae-bum raised his eyes in surprise.
“Youngseong? When?”
“This is the road I just ran after being contacted!”
The association staff continued to gasp as if they were still out of breath while answering.
However, Lee Tae-bum did not give him a chance to catch his breath and asked right away.
“What did Youngseong-nim say? No, I will have to contact you directly.”
Lee Tae-bum got up from his seat and moved on.
However, I had no choice but to stop at the words of the association staff.
“It just happened to be in that area... Since you said you were going to deal with the Draug Dungeon right away, you haven't heard from me.”
#
The Drag Dungeon was created in an unknown mountain in Cheorwon, Gangwon-do.
Since the surrounding area is surrounded by mountains, images that are commonly associated with mountain valleys spread out around it.
In a lonely mountain without a single person.
Woo woo woo.
There, alone, a gate swayed.
“I want to know how to find a gate created in a place like this...”
Of course, I knew that it was detected by something called a ‘dungeon magic detector'.
A device that detects the magic wave across the country and identifies and investigates the current status of the gate in real time.
It was a rare invention created by his disciple Jeong Ji-min, who developed the magic of demons.
“I wonder if Soo-yeon will be able to make something like this later?”
Seo-jun shrugged once and pushed himself into the gate.
Woo woo woo.
The vision reversed along with a strange sensation, and
the first thing I saw with the reversing vision was darkness.
The cool air felt on the skin and the shady yet cool atmosphere.
The ashes-covered surroundings reminded me of a devastated city center at first glance.
A sight that would remind you of a scene from a horror movie.
This deceit, felt just by standing still, revealed the danger of the Draug without filtering.
“I wonder who isn’t a Grave Keeper Monster.”
However, Seo-joon was not affected in any way.
Again, I checked to see if the progress of Shakyamuni's lecture had risen.
“…I guess this isn’t enough.”
Seojun shook his head with a regretful heart.
Anyway, the draug is a gravekeeper monster that guards buried treasures and graves.
The dungeon was also very spooky, fearing that no one would know its identity.
“Then let’s go.”
Seojun tightly wrapped his grip on Longinus's spear.
Two steps like that.
no, how many minutes did it take?
stop.
Suddenly, Chiron's senses felt a strange presence.
Seojun quietly looked down at Longinus's spear, which he had tightly wrapped around.
This is none other than the inside of the Draug Dungeon.
It was because only draugs were popular.
Seojun moved slowly.
however.
“huh?”
Somehow, the closer he got, the more he didn't look like a draug.
It was also because Draug was an insubstantial ghost monster, so there was no way he could sense it this clearly.
At first glance, the shape caught in sight was not a draugue.
Whoever could see it had a human form.
It looked like a woman, too, judging from the long, flowing hair.
Are there people in the Draug Dungeon?
‘Could it be Ryu Jin-cheol sent it?'
Seo-joon gripped the spear of Longinus again.
Then he asked carefully.
“who are you?”
“...?”
At Seo-jun's question, the unidentified woman slowly turned around.
and face to face.
It's mysterious.
The first feeling that Seojun saw was this.
Mysterious yet strange feeling.
It was a strange atmosphere that took away the gaze just by looking at it.
The wrinkles on her face that bloomed along with her gray hair showed that she was not small in age.
However, the strange atmosphere made it difficult to guess her age.
Is it because of the atmosphere?
There was a sense of peace around her.
The darkness around her, full of deceit, seemed impenetrable to her.
It's mysterious.
That was the conclusion that Seo-joon had made about the woman in front of him.
So Seo-jun was able to recognize her identity at once.
“Sir Spirit…?”
It was Youngseong, a hero of cataclysm and
one of the five heroes representing Korea.
“...?”
At Seojun's words, Youngseong tilted his head.
Like Seo-jun, the reaction was as if there were people here.
“Do you know me?”
“Is there anyone in Korea who doesn’t know Youngseong?”
Young-soo tilted his head slightly again.
Then he looked at Seo-jun blankly and spat out words.
“Aye. I don't know how you're here, but go back. This is not a place for you to come in carelessly.”
Usually, it was a common response to ask Seo-jun who you really are.
And as if there is no one in Korea who does not know spirituality.
Almost no one in Korea didn't know Seojun.
However, spirituality has built a wall with the world to practice spiritual magic.
Young-seong knew or could not know Seo-jun's name.
That's why it was a common reaction to ask Seo-jun who you really are.
Is Youngseong not interested in Seojun?
Or that it doesn't matter who Seo-joon is.
Spirituality only turned its back after saying that.
And seeing such spirituality, Seo-joon fell into thought for a moment.
The fact that Youngseong is here...
Seo-joon urgently shouted to Youngseong, who was leaving.
“Wait!”
“...?”
Spirituality to stop and turn around.
“You're not trying to deal with the Draug Dungeon right now, are you?”
“Is that so?”
Seojun was frightened and shouted.
“It's not possible! Absolutely not!”
“What did you mean by that?”
“There is such a thing. Anyway, don't deal with the draugr!”
Youngseong stared blankly at Seojun, who was shouting.
Then, indifferently, he turned his back and moved on in silence.
He seemed to be ignoring Seojun's words.
Seo-joon stepped on Jang Sam-bong's footsteps and in an instant blocked Young-seong in front of him.
“...!!!”
The eyes of spirituality that open at that moment.
‘At what moment...?'
It was because he couldn't even feel Seo-jun's movement, let alone his presence.
Seo-joon shouted while blocking the front of such spirituality.
“Oh well. Because you can't!”
“Get out of the way. Draugs must be dealt with while inside the dungeon. That terrible specter must not be released out of the world.”
“It's not possible! You can't deal with draugr! Even if you deal with it, I will deal with it!”
“I can’t get out of here!”
“No!”
Seo-jun had to fight with Young-gyeong out of the blue.
And right at that moment.
tall.
A foul stench stung my nostrils from somewhere.
-Geuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...
At the same time, a creepy demonic spirit flows out.
The shadow of death began to grow thicker around him.
“Hey! Get behind me!”
Youngseong shouted as he stood in front of Seojun.
Soon, a mysterious energy burst out of Young-seong's whole body, and he felt as if his mind was clear.
And soon after, a draug appeared.
It seemed that the commotion had awakened the nearby draugr.
The draugr looked as if a grieving soul was screaming.
-Goooooooooooooooo!!
Draug, who found Yeongyeong and Seojun, let out a terrible scream.
────────────!!!
Thoughts pour down with a long, groaning noise like the tinnitus of hell.
The fear that paralyzes one's hearing gave rise to the illusion of standing on the edge of death, where life is at stake.
All the hatred, malice and madness burst out as if they were engulfing the space.
-Goooooooo!!!
Just looking at the glowing red eyes seemed like it would drive you into madness.
The muscles stiffen, and the sharpened mind binds the body.
Youngseong drew more energy while facing such thoughts.
Mysterious energy forms a barrier and blocks the outpouring thoughts.
“I’ll take care of this, so get out of here! hurry!”
Youngseong turned his head toward Seojun, who had fallen behind.
And spirituality could be seen.
Turbuck.
Instead of running away, I walked forward.
belt ring. belt ring. belt ring.
A strange notification sound that rings somewhere.
< Progress rate of Sakyamuni's lecture 33.9% (+0.1%) >
< Progress rate of Sakyamuni's lecture 34.1% (+0.2%) >
< Progress rate of Sakyamuni's lecture 34.2% (+0.1%) >

.
.
“This...! This!”
The appearance of some crazy bastard.
“......”
The absurdity of spirituality began to ascend.
