Maxed Out Leveling Novel

Chapter 50

18. Prelude to Doom (3)

After the break, the party started exploring by choosing the left passage, and after encountering a wolf bat once, they came into contact with the realm of Jinbeop.

However, except for Cha Shin Hyeon, the Samdado guild members seemed to be unaware of the existence of Jinbeop. Whether they reached the realm or not, they proceeded, carefully examining their surroundings with the same attitude as usual.

It wasn’t something I couldn’t understand. Because it wasn’t a jinbeop that had a particularly big visual change.

In this case, unless you are a master who has developed enough to notice that the aura around you is twisted, you may not even know if you have fallen into the jinbeop.

‘I don’t think I’m doing a play.’

If you are pretending not to know the existence of Jinbeop, you should give all the guild members an acting target. You can’t be this calm unless you’ve been thoroughly trained.

First of all, he thought that Jinbeop had nothing to do with them, and Cha Shin Hyeon followed the Samdado guild members as they went.

‘It’s a welcome maze line.’

It was not a stern truth in that it had no lethal power.

Instead, it was faithful to the basics of the welcome maze. It makes you think you’re going straight and gets you lost. Originally, it was combined with the complex topography of the cave, and the effect was doubled.

In the eyes of Cha Shin Hyeon, who perceives it as a sense of humor and sees through with intuition, it seemed that the leading Samdado guild members were walking here and there as if drunk. They would think they were going straight.

‘Are you the type to draw in?’

There are three types of welcome maze.

It’s the same as getting you lost and making you go round and round in a similar spot, but the purpose is different.

A type that sends intruders back outside to thoroughly protect the inner area surrounded by Jin. A type of exhaustion that keeps wandering inside the jinn. A type that lets you go inside after you get lost to a certain extent.

The base system installed here looked like a type 3. It was slow, but anyway, I was still going inside the cave.

That was strange.

If the purpose is to let it pass anyway, why is it that Jinbeop is installed in such a place?

‘The kind that asks you to come in after suffering a little… … It doesn’t make much sense unless you’re trying to confuse me.’

It’s not a very simple formula, and it’s quite large in scale. It was not the kind that could be installed in a short time. However, the effect is somewhat ambiguous.

Is there any reason to go deep into the dungeon and install something like this through the monsters that keep regenerating? Even Samda would have to work while avoiding the eyes of the guild members.

Maybe a clue will come out if you go through it.

“Mr. Lim Jong-wook.”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who had made up her mind, opened her mouth.

“Did you call?”

“Can I take the lead?”

“Yes? Why?”

Lim Jong-wook expressed his doubts.

“I haven’t seen the wolf bats for quite some time, so I did a search, but it’s a bit strange.”

“Even so, I was too quiet, but… … . Is there a problem?”

“The environment we see with our eyes is quite different from the environment we detect with magic. It seems like I’m seeing some kind of hallucination.”

“Yeah?!”

Im Jong-wook was surprised by Cha Shin Hyeon’s plausible explanation.

“A hallucination?”

“I need to confirm that it is, so I am going to take the lead. Just look behind me and follow me.”

“Oh, I see.”

They nodded and changed their formation.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who stood in the front, started walking the original path, not being deceived by the truth.

“uh······.”

“What, what?”

The Samdado guild members who followed were startled.

In their eyes, still unable to escape from the illusion, Cha Shin Hyeon appeared as if walking in a zigzag or even breaking through a wall. But when I followed it, it was not at all.

Ignoring the hindrances of Jinbeop, I walked, and the pace was fast.

Cha Shin Hyeon broke through the distance several times the length of the section that the Samdado guild members hesitated for for 20 minutes in 10 minutes.

Finally, he led the party and reached the center of Jinbeop, the place where the welcome maze leads.

‘Again, nothing.’

The center was like a square.The starting point of the dungeon was also a fairly wide cavity, which was slightly larger than that.

I think it’s okay to play soccer, except for the fact that the floor is rocky and it will cause a lot of trouble if you fall.

Just that, nothing special about it.

Why was the alternative truth here?

Cha Shin Hyeon, who looked around the square with her head tilted, caught his eye.

‘Well?’

Something caught his senses, which he had habitually searched his surroundings by developing a sense of humor.

he lifted his head

The ceiling of the cave is over 15 meters high, so if you don’t pay attention to it, you won’t see it very well.

Cha Shin Hyeon’s senses found suspicious traces there.

‘······what?’

There was a crack in the ceiling.

It was not a natural gap. There is space beyond the gap. The ceiling was artificially cut out and then closed with a lid. It’s so sophisticated and the location makes it difficult to find normally.

There was something in the ceiling space made by digging quite deeply.

A small object emitting a faint electrical signal, and an object with a large size.

It was the moment when Cha Shin Hyeon was puzzled and was about to open the lid with the stinging water.

An electric signal flew here from somewhere far away.

The moment Cha Shin Hyeon recognized it.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

There was an explosion that made my vision white.

* * *

Small guilds don’t have time to worry about that, but large guilds like Dawn also deploy hunters outside the dungeon when attacking the dungeon.

Of course, you don’t need a strong hunter. It’s close to the guard to prevent the dungeon from entering the dungeon, so it’s enough to just deploy the newbies who just joined the dungeon. There were only one or two clerics waiting to heal the wounded.

Today there were two more.

They are Jun-ho’s secretary Shin Yeon-hee and Lee Ji-hye’s secretary Oh Dong-hwan.

“… … It’s okay.”

Shin Yeon-hee, who was wallowing in a tent that had been temporarily set up, suddenly muttered.

“Yeah.”

Donghwan Oh, who was next to him, heard her words.

The two were quite close. We had the same job, we were the same age, and we were doing almost the same thing, so we naturally became friends.

In today’s terms, it’s like a close boyfriend or girlfriend.

They were in charge of the schedules of the guild leader and the sub-guild leader, respectively, but when there was a dungeon attack like this, there was nothing to do.

A dungeon that Jeon Jun-ho or Lee Ji-hye goes to is unconditionally a high-risk dungeon, but Shin Yeon-hee and Oh Dong-hwan are around 30 levels. It wasn’t weak, but it wasn’t at the level of a high-risk dungeon attack.

Since there is no additional schedule for the day of going to the dungeon, I could see that I had a lot of work today. Except to the extent that he later acts as a driver.

“It’s good to have a spare.”

“It would be better if it were like this every day. It’s not something I usually do a lot, but I’d say it’s a little bit busy…”

“It’s better than the secretary of a big company, right? At least we have less time than there.”

“In that sense, I think I got a good job.”

The two of them chattered and chuckled.

It was around that time that the outside of the tent suddenly became bustling.

“Huh?”

Donghwan Oh poked his head out wondering what was going on.

His eyes widened as he looked outside.

“No, why are you two here?”

High-ranking hunters who participated with Cha Shin Hyeon at the Taeyang Festival. Kwon Oh-jeong and Yoon Seong-min, the directors of Dawning, were there.

Donghwan Oh hurriedly left the tent.

Shin Yeon-hee was also surprised and ran out quickly.

“Why did we come to a place we couldn’t come?”

Kwon Oh-jeong asked with a smirk.

Oh Dong-hwan answered with a little trembling.

“Of course not, but… … . Didn’t you two say that you couldn’t participate in this attack because you had other things to do?”

Because of that, Lee Ji-hye participated instead, so Oh Dong-hwan was well aware of the situation. In the original case, one of them would have started the attack together with Jeon Jun-ho.

But, the two of you who said they couldn’t come show up here together without contact?

“It was. It still exists today.”

“Yes?”

“First, get some people together. I have something to say.”

Yoon Seong-min spoke on behalf of Kwon Oh-jeong.

Although it was a bit out of the ordinary, the request of an executive with only four at dawn was nothing more than an order.

I followed everyone’s orders.

Donghwan Oh and Yeonhee Shin. There were five hunters who were vigilant around the surroundings—the words were the boundaries and they were just standing there. Two clerics in case of emergency. A total of 9 people gathered.

Looking at the faces of the gathered people, Oh-jeong Kwon asked a question.

“Are they all here?”

“Yes. As you know, there is no reason to have a large number of people even outside the dungeon, right?”

“It is.”

“Did anyone in particular approach you?”

This time, Sungmin Yoon asked.

“No.”

“I didn’t have either.”

The hunters who stood on the guard united their mouths and answered.

“Okay then…”

Both of them opened the inventory at the same time.

Shooter Kwon Oh-jeong took out a bow and arrow, and fighter Yun Seong-min took out a gauntlet.

It wasn’t strange for the Hunter to pull out his weapon, but there was no reason to take it out now.

‘Are you saying you want to enter the dungeon even now?’

Donghwan Oh and Yeonhee Shin tilted their heads side by side.

I can’t stop a high-ranking hunter from doing what I want, but anyway, this isn’t a bad thing. It’s not even a spoonful.

Even the guild chiefs and sub-guild leaders, that is, people higher than them, are the ones who want to put the spoon on. Oh-jeong Kwon or Seong-min Yoon would not have been such a rare person, right?

While puzzled, Oh-jeong Kwon wrapped around the tradition, and Seong-min Yoon wore a gauntlet.

It was an outfit that could jump right into the dungeon and participate in battle.

“Oh, what did you mean?”

Kwon Oh-jeong muttered with a look that was not at all sorry.

“I’m sorry.”

next moment.

Kwon Oh-jeong, who pulled out an arrow from the tradition with lightning-like hand movements, pulled the demonstration.

Baba Baba Baba Bak!

Three arrows shot at the same time. That number was multiplied several times by the skill. Although there were three main bodies, the arrows made of MP were equally powerful as the main body.

The speed at which the bow was fired was so fast that the next arrows were already in bed the moment after the first arrows left the string.

“Ahh!”

“Ouch!”

The hunters who stood on the guard were not long after joining the Dawning, less than level 20 hunters. It wasn’t even equipped with a full set like when fighting monsters, it was even a surprise attack.

The two clerics were middle-level hunters who even advanced to higher classes, but unfortunately, they were pure assistant priests. There was only one thing that didn’t have the ability to stop the raid.

sucks.

The seven hunters fell like a pile of straw. Only two left.

Fortunately, Shin Yeon-hee was agile as an assassin, and Oh Dong-hwan was able to minimize damage because he was a defensive cleric paladin.

Even so, the skill gap was large, the distance was so close, and he didn’t even have the equipment. Not only did they avoid fatal injuries, but they also suffered quite a few injuries.

“Hey, what is this!”

Shin Yeon-hee shouted in a sharp voice.

I didn’t shoot it as a joke, I actually shot it to kill. In fact, those who collapsed were severely paralyzed. Respect or whatever, it has already flew out of my head.“Didn’t you say I’m sorry.”

Kwon Oh-jeong smiled mischievously in response.

“It was here that we said we had other business to do.”

“From then on, you were thinking of betraying me? Are you guys crazy?”

Donghwan Oh sharpened his teeth.

“What kind of treatment you have been given at Dawning, you hit the back of the head! Did you receive the twilight spell?”

“Yeah, of course. There is no reason to do this alone.”

“You mean bastards!”

“It’s hot. Do you have a common saying at times like this?”

Yoon Seong-min said with a mockery.

“There was an unavoidable circumstance here, something like that. I was just following the trend.”

“Stop the bullshit!”

“Yeah, let me clean it. After all, we have no intention of having a long conversation with you either.”

No matter how much Donghwan Oh shouted, he was just an empty echo.

Yoon Seong-min, who smiled, clenched his knuckles.

Kwon Oh-jeong ordered another protest.

The situation was infinitely hopeless.

Level, compatibility, equipment, physical condition.

There was no single advantage. It wasn’t a little bad, it was a lot of bad.

How to turn… … .

‘Damn it.’

… … there was no

Nettle juice!

Kwon Oh-jeong’s arrow pierced Shin Yeon-hee’s left chest.

Whoops!

Yoon Seong-min’s fist struck Oh Dong-hwan. The resulting shock wave penetrated inside his body, smashing his ribs and destroying his heart.

“dog… … child… … field······.”

They couldn’t even speak and they both collapsed.

Gwon Oh-jeong took out his cell phone while looking around with dazed eyes.

“It’s all taken care of. Yes. You can come.”

After the short call, 5 minutes later.

A van arrived at the scene.

A total of six people got off the back seat.

The guild leader of Twilight is Park Tae-hoon.

Deputy Guild Leader Jang Seong-hyeok.

Four directors of Twilight, including Ryoo Seung-gun and Choi Ji-hyung.

They were all the high-ranking hunters that Twilight possessed.

“Good job.”

“no.”

When Park Tae-hoon gave a brief congratulations, Kwon Oh-jeong and Yoon Seong-min all bowed their heads at once.

They acted like the Twilight Director, not the Dawn Director.

“By now, Cha Shin Hyeon would have been dealt with.”

Park Tae-hoon, who checked the time, muttered.

“Then there are no more external variables.”

The sudden appearance of Cha Shin Hyeon made me revise the plan more carefully, but it wasn’t a big deal. All you have to do is pay the cost and get rid of him.

8 in 2.

No matter how hard Lee Ji-hye struggled and Jeon Jun-ho burned his life, it was a difference in numbers that could never be overturned. Even they must be exhausted from dealing with monsters in the dungeon.

“As of today… … Erase the Dawn.”

Park Tae-hoon’s eyes gleamed blue.
