Maxed Out Leveling Novel

Chapter 47

17. Jeju Island (3)

The dungeon’s risk is usually calculated by considering the strength of each monster and the total number of monsters. That is, it is a number that calculates how much power is required to clear one dungeon.

However, apart from the level of danger, there is a number called “irritability” among hunters.

Even in dungeons with the same level of risk, there are places where it is easy to hunt and places where it is uncomfortable. Of course, the former is convenient, but from the standpoint of making a living, you cannot choose the latter.

Bulldog Monkey Dungeon was very annoying before the danger.

‘I’ve been through it, so it’s worth it.’

It was Cha Shin Hyeon’s conclusion after walking through the jungle for two hours.

First off, the weather is unpleasant. Fortunately, the trees were thick and there was no direct sunlight, but the heat and humidity were terrible. The average person would be exhausted after walking for 30 minutes.

Just standing still is annoying, but the bulldog monkey crawls out endlessly after just a short walk.

Moreover, the means of attacking them are also limited.

You have to climb directly up a tree or attack from a distance, except for Warriors and Shielders, who are relatively dull. Cleric is originally a secondary class.

Although the Assassin is agile, it does not specialize in dealing with large numbers of enemies from the front. Archer and Mage attacks were sometimes avoided by monkeys or hidden behind trees.

Monkeys, on the other hand, climb through trees, spewing fire and shooting poison arrows, just like my house—it was really my house.

In short, they were very dirty guys to deal with.

This was the reason why Min Ki-yong welcomed Cha Shin Hyeon’s visit so much.

Of course, the previous ones were not relevant to Cha Shin Hyeon.

Hanseo’s body was unaffected by the climate, and it was unreasonable for a monkey to avoid his attack.

“I will come again.”

“Well.”

When Archer informed, Cha Shin Hyeon raised his powers.

The moment the monkeys appeared, the non-attribute magic changed to lightning in an instant. The magic attribute (circle) skill that converts magic into elements is very natural.

As soon as it changes, a sphere of lightning is fired at a frightening speed. The moment it reached the point of impact, the sphere turned into a net and attacked the monkeys at once.

hey hey!

The monkeys fall to the ground like worms that touch an electric flywheel. He suffered so much damage that he couldn’t even control his body.

In the meantime, the Hareubang guild members quickly ran forward. It stops the breathing of monkeys scattered here and there.

Whoops! Whoops! Whoops!

Attacking the scarecrow would be easier than this. Unable to resist, the monkeys with air holes in their necks disappear one by one as ashes. The guild members diligently picked up the remaining monsters.

After all, experience is divided by the amount of damage dealt to the monster’s HP. Even if you don’t catch them alone, if you kill them halfway like this and let them hit the last hit, you both get experience points.

Of course, I don’t know if the electric poultice reduces the monster’s HP by exactly 80%. because it is not marked.

But no one complained.

“This is so, I wonder if it can be like this.”

Min Ki-yong scratched his head.

“We don’t have too much work to do.”

If you’re hunting and complaining as easily as picking up money that has fallen on the street, you’re a real bad guy.

“Personally, I feel sorry for the post-processing that a novice hunter would do…”

“I’m sorry! If we don’t do this, we’re really going to be bad guys.”

As Cha Shin Hyeon hinted, Min Ki-yong slapped his hand.

At least none of them were perverts eager to fight monsters. Who doesn’t like to make easy money and earn experience?

Rather, Min Ki-yong was worried about Cha Shin Hyeon.

“Are you any better than that? The consumption of mana must not be normal.”

“I’m still in control, so I’m fine. If it’s hard, I’ll tell you to stop first.”

Cha Shin Hyeon replied calmly.

“If that’s the case, I’m glad… … Take a little break though. It was almost lunch time.”

“Is that so?”

After consensus was reached, each of them found a suitable shade of tree and sat down.

There was no need to make a fire and cook rice like camping. They had a great meal called a specialty store lunch box.

Over lunch, Cha Shin Hyeon chatted with Min Ki-yong.

“How many people usually attack this dungeon?”

“Usually, we work in teams of 10 people. We put in two teams at a time and move in the opposite direction to clear the monsters.”Min Ki-yong explained.

“If you increase the number of people in a team, the number of bulldog monkeys that come at once also increases. It’s good for about 10 people to deal with, and the role distribution is smooth.”

“i See. However, it seems that the number of monsters in the dungeon is not normal for 20 people to deal with them all.”

It wasn’t just something to say.

It was the sound of scanning and reporting the entire dungeon as a gigam.

So far, four hundred and five hundred monkeys have been killed, but there are still several times the number of monkeys left. This is a higher number than the monsters in the Bucheon Dungeon, where the supply was disgustingly large.

“Yes. Yes.”

Although he could not grasp the overall number, Min Ki-yong also felt roughly the situation of the dungeon.

“I have been visiting this dungeon frequently, even though it’s a little overkill, but it’s been a few months since I’ve been there, and it’s still a monkey paradise, so I wonder if the number is decreasing.”

Min Ki-yong smiled bitterly.

“Well, if you look at it positively, you might think of it as a pollinator that gives money and experience points, but honestly, it’s difficult. No matter how well a high-risk dungeon level goes up, it doesn’t matter how many times a day it goes up. If there is no change in level even after going to the dungeon for several months, I sometimes feel anxious that this is the end of my talent.”

“Ummm.”

Sadly, Cha Shin Hyeon, who did a lot of leveling when bored, did not have much sympathy.

However, a new question just popped up.

‘It’s a Hunter’s talent…’

The same monster gives the same experience, but the experience required for a hunter to level up is different for each hunter.

The higher the talent, the faster the level up. Even if you put in the same effort, you hit it fast. If you’re a high-ranking hunter, it’s safe to call him a genius hunter.

But himself?

Of course, since you’ve caught monsters higher than your level, it’s only natural that your level has risen sharply.

However, even after reaching the level of a high-ranking hunter, I never really thought that the level up was blocked.

It’s not about honing your talents.

If you have great potential as a Hunter.

Why me.

‘Is that no class?’

Those who do not have any talent in any of the six classes, cannot even become hunters in a natural way.

In fact, there are very few no-class even middle-level hunters. The limits of talent are clear, and after a certain level, there is little growth.

but he is not

A talented no-class.

It was a contradiction that I had never thought deeply about before.

‘It’s not a question that can be answered by thinking…’

That’s not to say that it’s not something to even think about.

Cha Shin Hyeon once etched this subject in a corner of his mind.

He lifted his head out of contemplation.

“I’m sorry. I was just thinking about something for a moment.”

“no. Fine.”

Min Ki-yong, who was keeping his mouth shut so as not to disturb Cha Shin Hyeon, showed a faint smile.

“Anyway, you don’t have to worry too much. If you let go of your impatience and hunt step by step, your skills will eventually improve. There is nothing more harmful than setting your limits.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

“And the number of monsters, to be honest, I don’t think there is any solution other than how to train more hunters in Tamna. I’m only here on a temporary basis…”

Cha Shin Hyeon shook his head slightly.

“First, let’s reduce the number as far as we can.”

“Ah, thank you so much.”

“The more I catch, the more I gain, so is there anything to be thankful for? It would be much more convenient if the monkeys could gather in one place.”

An idea suddenly ran through Cha Shin Hyeon’s head as she was muttering.

‘wait.’

monkeys gather

It would be nice if we could gather together on our own, but I wouldn’t be able to act so comfortably.

If you don’t come together on your own.

if… … What if I could forcefully collect it?

It was a seemingly absurd imagination, but he had the ability to turn even the most absurd assumptions into reality.

‘You’ll see.’

Cha Shin Hyeon quietly focused.

The sound of being able to scan an entire dungeon with Gigam means you can influence the entire dungeon if you wish.

Transcendental senses, which were usually closed because they did not feel the need, are released sequentially.

thud… … thud… … thud······.

The existence of everything in the dungeon is felt one by one. Compared to plants such as grass and trees, the presence of hunters and monsters is exceptionally large. Thousands of heartbeats ring out

Overwhelming yet a little tired feeling.

At this moment, Cha Shin Hyeon became a transcendent looking down on a small world.

in that state.

[Gather together.]

Cha Shin Hyeon’s will penetrated the entire space.

Exactly, except for the hunters, to all the bulldog monkeys there were two thousand and 453.

key?

Key profit!

Unfortunately, the effect was not perfect.

What Cha Shin Hyeon intended was an absolute command, but as it was dispersed among thousands of monkeys, it was lowered a bit. Some hesitated and some were confused.

Still, more than half of the monkeys moved.

About 1,500 bulldog monkeys started running towards this place where the party was eating their lunch.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who watched it for a moment, closed her sense of transcendence.

His head was a little heavy, probably because he was mentally exhausted.

However, it was a satisfactory experiment.

‘This is also possible.’

A heart sword shape was mixed with Hyegwang deep fish.

In the words conveyed from his heart to his heart, Cha Shin Hyeon implants his will.

In other words, it moves the other person’s heart according to their will.

It was a technique that was different from other techniques such as the use of aggression to interfere with the opponent’s brain and to apply a kind of hypnosis. Although the results may be similar.

Now, it’s only half the effect because it’s cast on thousands of monsters at the same time, but what if it’s cast on a single target?

‘If you can’t stop the heart sword, it won’t be able to stop the heart sword mixed with the plant.’

I don’t know exactly what the results will be.

It can be half-baked, it can be so powerful that it can break your ego, or you can become like a puppet.

Playing with people’s hearts was far from Cha Shin Hyeon’s taste, but it was meaningful in that he pioneered a new area anyway. To achieve enlightenment while hunting miscellaneous monkeys that will disappear with a quick blow is something that even those who know nothing about martial arts do not know.

With a faint smile, Cha Shin Hyeon finished the lunch box.

When he finished eating, the hunters who ate first and were vigilant around let out an urgent moan.

“Huh!”

“What, why?”

“Bulldog monkeys are coming!”

“From this side too!”

“what?!”

Min Ki-yong got up from his seat quickly and looked around.

Not long after, he realized the situation and opened his mouth.

“Oh my God…”

Everywhere I looked, east, west, north, and south, there were monkeys.

I was clinging to one tree so close that I thought the branches would break, but all the trees around me were like that. It was meaningless to count how many.

The command that Cha Shin Hyeon gave was ‘Gather together’.

They didn’t tell me what to do together.

I came here because of the command that echoed in my head, but all I see are humans. No further orders are issued. No, I don’t know why you came here.

hey hey!

profit!

The monster’s choice in confusion was not to sit down like a human and do not know what to do, but to exclude the enemy in front of them first.

The hostility that hundreds of monsters radiated all at once was so strong that even seasoned middle-class hunters were terrified.The only person who was calm was Cha Shin Hyeon.

“It’s better than that.”

“… … Yes?”

“I don’t know why, but these guys have suddenly gathered in a swarm, so why not just wipe them out all at once.”

“You, aren’t there too many…”

“I see it. Gather.”

When Cha Shin Hyeon gestured, the hunters quickly gathered.

If Cha Shin Hyeon doesn’t help anyway, they’re all dead. I followed closely as instructed.

When the five gathered, Cha Shin Hyeon immediately raised her magic.

Paaaah!

The magic of the wind soared in a straight line towards the sky. A raging storm smashed all the branches in the way and cleared the road coolly.

Five bodies are sucked in along the passage.

“Ugh!”

Whether the bewildered four struggled or not, Cha Shin Hyeon neatly ignored them. The five quickly soared into the sky as if riding in an invisible elevator.

It was the same with the bulldog monkeys that were bewildered. Before spewing fire or shooting poison, humans had already risen several tens of meters.

Five people who flew in an instant were located 150 meters above sea level.

“The more you struggle, the harder it is to maintain.”

“Sorry, I’m sorry.”

With a slightly trembling voice, Min Ki-yong barely answered.

No matter how brave the hunter was, he had never experienced floating 150 meters above the ground. When Cha Shin Hyeon releases the magic, he falls to death at the moment.

Min-gi-yong, who barely calmed his heart by taking a few deep breaths, bowed his head, trying not to look down as much as possible.

“thank you. I couldn’t even think of a way to escape to the sky…”

“It’s not an escape.”

Cha Shin Hyeon spoke softly but firmly.

“I would have told you to wipe it all out at once.”

“here… … Are you talking?”

“If you do it below me, your allies will get involved.”

he grinned

“This is also a good place to visit.”

Magic power spreads out in all directions. It spreads like a net over the forest where monkeys are gathered.

Cha Shin Hyeon’s mana is infinite, but the mana he can control at once is finite. The more he tried to wield higher magic, the smaller the scale had to be.

So, this time he was helped by the power.

He created a bead made of Kanggi, that is, Kang Hwan (罡丸) in the air, and at the same time covered it with the magic of flame and hid it.

The guild members of Hareubang did not notice that fact.

Kang Hwan’s aggression supplements the property of width.

Maximizes the properties of flame with the magic of flame.

Dozens of large fireballs appeared out of nowhere, then fell to the ground.

bang! Quang! Aww!

Every time a ball of fire fell, dozens of meters around it were engulfed in the explosion.

The shards of the river engulfed in flames were thrown out in all directions, bursting and burning trees and monkeys alike.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

After stopping the escape by detonating the monkeys from the outskirts of the area, they poured fireballs generously in the middle. It was so crowded that dozens of monsters were smashed every time it exploded.

At least you should be thankful for the fact that when a monster dies, it turns to ashes and disappears. Otherwise, it would have been a hellish road full of blood and flesh below.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

The final explosion swept away, leaving nothing but ashes. Hundreds of meters of forest were crushed and turned into barren ruins.

“Eww… … Ugh…”

The bodies of the Hareubang guild members looking down were trembling.

Floating in the sky, manet was no longer a problem.

Even if the target was a monster.

The overwhelming confidence that only one person showed was more than awe, it was closer to fear.
