Maxed Out Leveling Novel

Chapter 103

36. Dungeon Break (3)

When Cha Shin Hyeon came out of the dungeon, there was even a pretty plausible tent installed when he was airlifted.

“You came… OMG! … Are you?”

The members of the Tamra guild, who had toured the dungeon together before, now play the role of guarding the entrance, were startled.

Hey, it’s strange that I’m not surprised that I brought four or more monsters bigger than the Great Tiger.

However, I was able to calm myself down when I realized that the mistletoes were only expressing their hostility and not fighting. Come to think of it, haven’t you played with one of them before? one or four

Cha Shin Hyeon, who nodded lightly, gave a brief order.

“Wait.”

The target of the order is not the ones we had with us from the beginning, but the new ones we picked up (?).

Whoa!

The power of the spirit compels action and, in addition, the power of the spirit weighs on the body like shackles. The three of them screamed fiercely and crashed badly to the ground.

Cha Shin Hyeon dragged only one into the tent.

“Ugh!”

The people who wanted something were startled by the sound of the beast’s roar from outside. If Cha Shin Hyeon wasn’t there next to the mistletoe that came through the tent, there would have been a bigger commotion.

“Oh, are you here?”

Kim Ha-geun greeted them with a shaky tone. Nodding his head, Cha Shin Hyeon asked, looking around at the people with his mouth wide open.

“Are you all here?”

“Oh, yes. Everyone came quickly.”

“It’s nice not to have to wait.”

I don’t know if Kim Ha-geun’s authority is pretty good, or if everyone was paying attention because of the second revelation of the goddess of manners, but she only had about 30 minutes and they were all already there.

“Sit down. Come this way… … .”

“Fine. You can sit here.”

Cha Shin Hyeon slapped him and his knee bent in the mist. Try to stick to the floor as much as possible like a rug, so that the height is low enough. It almost got to the point where I sat on my buttocks.

Seeing this, Ha-geun Kim smiled bitterly.

“Are you going to have them as pets?”

“I’m not a bad guy to sit on a pet. How do you raise a guy who wants to bite his owner right away when he is released? They just pamper them for a while.”

From the point of view of Mischik, who is treated as a disposable product to be thrown away, he may have wished to die sooner rather than later.

Anyway, as Cha Shin Hyeon sat at the entrance with a haze on, the atmosphere became a bit heavy.

To some extent, it was intentional.

“I am not going to explain it in length, as you must have heard the general story of the guild leader Kim Ha-geun, and you must have seen the corpse of the mistletoe at least once.”

Cha Shin Hyeon opened her mouth.

“I am not a hunter under Tamra, but as a person involved in a bridge, I would like to hear from you. What position are you going to take on the current situation?”

“… Hey, can I ask you one question?”

Among those who had been watching for a while, a man in his mid-30s spoke out as if he was determined.

“That’s right.”

“that… The one you’re wearing next to you. Are you really a monster?”

“I didn’t expect to receive criticism from there.”Cha Shin Hyeon laughed like it was funny.

It was he who had the courage as the representative, but Cha Shin Hyeon noticed that some people showed signs of dissatisfaction or suspicion, even if it was small.

“Then do you see this as a cat or a dog?”

“Of course, it doesn’t look like a normal animal. But isn’t it strange enough that a monster suddenly jumped out of the dungeon? To be honest, if Cha Shin Hyeon hadn’t been mentioned, I would have thought Kim Guildmaster was joking.”

“I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s not good to deny reality that way. Do you think I called you out of boredom?”

“Well, that’s not what it means… … .”

The man quickly lowered his tail. He said it vigorously, but if you distort it a little, it is an attitude that denies Cha Shin Hyeon’s prestige.

Cha Shin Hyeon smiled and gestured.

“Come out.”

“… Yes?”

“Come and see.”

The man approached, crawling with anxious eyes. Cha Shin Hyeon asked, shoulder to shoulder like his friend.

“What level?”

“It’s four, forty.”

“The muscles don’t seem to support the rear.”

“It’s a Legion class.”

“Oh, Shielder? it will be strong That’s good.”

Singing, Cha Shin Hyeon took the man outside. From that look, the soldiers somehow felt the figure of a sergeant leading the recruits to the back of the barracks.

Has it been 2 minutes?

Kang! Kak!

Suddenly, the sound of metal clashing against each other, the synth, and the roar of animals began to mix.

“What, what?”

Knowing what had happened, people who were near the entrance to the tent hurriedly ran outside.

In a small vacant lot, a man was fighting a mistletoe. Cha Shin Hyeon put in one of the fog pins that had been waiting.

It wasn’t with the intention of fucking him, but he gave me time to gather equipment from my inventory, but that didn’t make things much better. Wasn’t he the guy who couldn’t win even if they were in their 40s in the first place?

“Wow!”

“Now, as you can see.”

Irrespective of the situation of a man who moans while being on the defensive, Cha Shin Hyeon commented in a calm voice as if relaying a sports game.

“Are there any animals that are not monsters that can show such power?”

“Uh, no.”

Even those who did not believe had nothing to say when they presented such clear evidence in front of their eyes.

What is a monster other than a monster that unilaterally drives a hunter who can even destroy the bones of a beast like a lion or a tiger with a single blow. It was a clear proof that only what appeared was not a mutation.

bang!

A heavy kick strikes the shield.

While the man staggered out of balance, the tail of the mistletoe stretched out, aiming for a gap. Its flexible yet tough tail cleverly wraps around the man’s ankles.

“laugh?”

The man, completely out of balance, barely slammed the edge of his shield into the ground to avoid falling. However, he couldn’t stop until a subsequent attack that flew into empty space.

A shadow fell on the man’s face.

At that moment, the son-in-law suddenly lit up.

A thunderbolt-like, no real thunderbolt cut the space in a straight line.

Don’t fall for it!

A spear of lightning struck Mist Peng’s head directly.

The monster whose brain burned out in an instant could not even scream and died instantly.

“go… thank you.”

The man who had lost his mind for a moment lowered his head belatedly. Actually, it was a bit funny to thank Cha Shin Hyeon because it was Cha Shin Hyeon who attached the mistletoe and Cha Shin Hyeon who saved him.

The overwhelming power of Cha Shin Hyeon, who handled the monsters that the level 40 hunter had been struggling with lightly, made the hearts of many guild leaders cool.

“Why is this serious?”

As if nothing had happened, Cha Shin Hyeon said calmly.

“The biggest thing is that a monster that would have been enough for a hunter to deal with could come out of the dungeon and harm ordinary people. Objects coming out of the dungeon are stronger than existing objects. It’s harder to deal with.”

He continued his explanation, turning his gaze to the body that had turned into charcoal on the top of his neck.

“And as you can see, dead monsters do not disappear. That’s fine, but the problem is… It means that no monsters come out of those monsters.”

“Yes? Is that true?”

Kim Ha-geun was surprised and asked a question.

“I haven’t tried dismantling the mistletoe, but it probably will. Because there is already precedent. We caught a few to use as samples, so check it out later.”

Saying so, Cha Shin Hyeon gave a brief explanation.

The rabbit corpse found in the tutorial dungeon, and the things he confirmed by visiting the dungeon himself. About the Rift and the special monsters that appeared in the Rift.

“Of course, the corpse of a monster has value as a research material for scientists. It may be sold at a high price in the process of developing new materials or such. But that is for later.”

A few research samples are sufficient. How many dungeons are there in Korea and how many monsters can be caught?

Then there is almost no difference from just hunting animals. The profit structure itself is significantly different from when you only had to sell Monstone.

“But obviously… Did you not collect the monsters? It was from the existing monsters that disappeared when they died.”

“It was.”

“Then, isn’t there a possibility that these special monsters are literally a small number of special variants? In fact, the number of special monsters was very small.”

“Or maybe the dungeon itself is an unusual case… … .”

“It could be a temporary phenomenon.”

The other guild leaders carefully gave their opinions.

To put it bluntly, he is trying to look at the situation in a positive way, but to put it bluntly, it seems that he does not want to admit the reality.

“If you say it, I’d love it too.”

Cha Shin Hyeon mumbled in a slightly sarcastic tone.

“I don’t know why the goddess delivered the message at this point, considering it was just a passing thing.”

“that… … .”

The atmosphere on the left became heavy again.

“Well, nothing is certain at this point. You’re right, we need to watch a little more. but.”

Cha Shin Hyeon nailed it.

“In case it doesn’t happen, you have to be prepared.”

* * *

Wishes ended with wishes.While Cha Shin Hyeon toured all the dungeons on Jeju Island for a month and a half, the number of dungeons in which cracks were discovered and monsters crawled out increased exponentially.

Fortunately, high-risk dungeons, except for the foggy dungeon, are still good enough. The low-risk dungeons were barely able to cope with Tamra’s own manpower.

But now is the time to decide your attitude.

Leaving the final decision alone, Cha Shin Hyeon returned to Seoul.

Immediately, he met with the Dawning’s leadership and received a report on the progress.

“As a result of watching from May 15th to the end of June, we got some estimates.”

Lee Ji-hye explained in a not very bright voice.

“There seems to be a high correlation between the occurrence of cracks and low-risk dungeons where the number of monsters increased. At this point, cracks have been found in more than a quarter of the dungeon.”

“A quarter already? Didn’t the monster increase in most of the low-risk dungeons in Korea?”

“Yes. So, it is only a matter of time before new monsters pour out from thousands of dungeons. At this rate, I think it will happen before winter comes.”

It wasn’t just Korea.

The phenomenon of monsters coming out of the dungeon has already been witnessed in many countries around the world, and it is called ‘Dungeon Break’. It meant that the monster broke the dungeon and came out.

Even the great powers have yet to wait and see the situation and have not made an official announcement about the situation, but it is not that they did not do it, it was close to failing because they did not know the cause.

“Can you stop it?”

“It is not difficult. Even if the new type is stronger than the old type, the hunters are not weak enough to be attacked by low-risk monsters. And the new type doesn’t regenerate as much as the old type. I think there are fewer of them coming through the cracks.”

But the point is, that’s not the point.

Lee Ji-hye kept her bitter smile.

“The problem is that the pitcher no longer appears in the dungeon where the crack is found.”

“okay. I also checked in Jeju Island.”

Old monsters do not appear in dungeons where new types of monsters appear.

In other dungeons including the Mist Pup Dungeon, Cha Shin Hyeon had also personally checked it out. The appearance of a new type does not mean that the old type disappears completely, but a new type of pitch has not been regenerated.

In other words, once you catch a pitch in these dungeons, you can no longer get monster stones.

“Unfortunately, we confirmed that catching new species gives experience points, but in fact, money is the most important thing in running an organization, isn’t it?”

The reason why the hunter is a high-yielding job is that monsters come out when you catch monsters. Because monsters can be converted into electrical energy, they instantly become money. Just like oil or natural gas is money.

But what if you don’t give a monster stone even if you catch a monster?

Even if you want to give money, you have to earn it. How do you make money you don’t have?

“Hey, we have so many dungeons, and in dungeons of medium risk or higher, we can survive because the monsters open up… Small guilds with one or two low-risk dungeons are already dying. It’s not that your income has declined, but that it suddenly went to zero.”

“I’m going crazy.”

Cha Shin Hyeon shook her head, and Lee Ji-hye sighed in response.

“Oh, and one more sad piece of information you should know.”

“I want you to stop listening to that. What?”

“That’s it.”

Lee Ji-hye added in a melancholy voice.

“We have also confirmed that the number of monsters in medium-risk dungeons has increased since last month.”

“what?”

“So, just like the low-risk dungeons have been since last year. The rate of increase seems to be a little faster.”

“… hi.”

It is a mountain beyond a mountain.
