Maxed Out Leveling Novel

Chapter 66

23. Incomprehensible (2)

A dungeon with an appropriate level of difficulty was originally set based on whether a hunter of that level could easily raise the level.

The difficulty multiplied by 5 is the recommended level limit.

For example, if it is a 3 difficulty dungeon, the level of a hunter who has exceeded level 15 will rise like a slug by hunting only cancer in the dungeon.

As time passed, this became a word to represent the level of dungeon monsters, and the word ‘difficulty’ was replaced with the word ‘risk’, leading to where it is now.

“The sound of a dungeon suitable for leveling up means that the level of monsters is also suitable for you. It’s a level where we can attack without getting killed or seriously injured.”

In other words, there is no reason why you have to go to a dungeon that matches your level.

You could give up experience and go to a lower dungeon, or you could take a risk and go to a higher dungeon.

It’s just that it’s inefficient, so it’s just a matter of distributing it appropriately to the level in large guilds, etc.

However, the higher the risk of the dungeon, the harder it is to attack at a lower level. Because the monsters are that strong, you can get hooked.

When that situation gets worse.

There are also very dangerous dungeons that even high-ranking hunters cannot even dare to attack.

It was impossible, and they were classified as mysterious dungeons.

“Actually, it is a word that is rarely used in the industry.”

Lee Ji-hye explained in detail.

“Isn’t that a negative feeling? If you say that it is a dungeon that cannot be attacked, you might think it is incompetent.”

“It’s not that the hunters are incompetent, but that the monsters are capable.”

Cha Shin Hyeon nodded.

The power of the Hunters is already remarkable. If you compare it with the Moorim, you get an estimate right away.

Even under a method of nurturing that has been refined and established for more than hundreds of years, it is difficult to become a master at the peak of training after decades of training. On the other hand, here, starting from the bare ground, within 15 years, a high-ranking hunter appeared in storm water.

‘Well, if it’s a one-on-one match, it’ll be more advantageous to be a top performer.’

This is unavoidable because the direction of development is different.

Because martial arts are used in battles between humans, various and delicate differentiations have occurred, but the hunter focuses only on monsters. Since most monsters are large and strong, they naturally become obsessed with power, and they become so simple that they are easily destroyed.

Anyway, the gist was the individual’s fighting power against monsters, and when it comes to destructive power, there was no difference between the supreme master and the high-ranking hunter.

In other words, the speed of growth into the strong is overwhelmingly faster for the hunter than for the uninhabited.

If a stronger monster comes out even after growing so fast, it’s not because the hunter is lazy, it’s just because the monster is strong.

“Anyway, the standards of incomprehensibility change from time to time. Hunter’s level changes. At a time when even high-ranking hunters did not appear yet, dungeons with a level of 11 or higher were also called incomprehensible.”

“Then your reaction to the incomprehensible means that all dungeons in Korea have been able to attack?”

“Yes. None of the dungeons that have occurred in Korea so far exceed a risk of 13. That was enough, even without me, under the leadership of Jun-ho Jeon, it was at a level that I could manage to attack.”

Of course, it was safe to have at least one more high-ranking hunter. Jihye Lee added.

“But the dungeon in Chuncheon… … If I had to name the level of risk, I think it would be around 16. It’s funny to judge the incomprehensible, though. It was like jumping up a few steps all of a sudden.”

“It’s not nice.”In fact, this in itself is not a serious problem right now.

If you can’t attack, you can’t attack.

The hunter does not have a noble mission to eliminate monsters, but only acts purely for himself. It is a very simple logic of power, wealth, and honor.

He fights for his life, and no one knows if he defeats the monster at the end.

No, you can appeal to your strength, but if you die after that, you are dead.

So if it’s dangerous, just take his foot off.

Nevertheless, the reason why Tamna invited Cha Shin Hyeon or asked Lee Ji-hye was simple.

because I was anxious

If you do not subdue the dungeon, the monsters will grow naturally. No one liked to see the number of powerful monsters that could not be dealt with.

It was like watching the number of wild beasts kept in cages. Even though I thought it was safe looking at the sturdy iron cage, I felt uneasy in every corner of my heart.

Since other dungeons have been regularly attacked, the fact that monsters accumulate in the neglected dungeon and what may happen if they accumulate also contributed to the increase in anxiety.

“Leave it. Come to think of it, something like that happened.”

“What?”

“It happened in a dungeon managed by Tamra.”

Cha Shin Hyeon, who suddenly remembered what happened a few days ago, briefly explained about the foggy dungeon.

“… … You were attacked by monsters as soon as you entered the dungeon?”

“okay. A place that has never been completely cleared since it was newly discovered a few years ago. The environment was so bad that even reconnaissance was impossible, so it seems that they only hunted little by little in some areas of the dungeon.”

“It means that there must have been a lot of monsters.”

“Since it was said that there had never been such a thing before, I thought it might have been because it had been accumulating for a long time and then burst. To the extent that the activity area was pushed back to the safe zone, the entrance to the dungeon.”

“If that’s really the reason, the reason why we shouldn’t neglect the dungeon has become even more solid. Even if you try to touch it later, it may become impossible to even enter.”

“Of course, other dungeons with similar circumstances were fine, and it was a phenomenon that only happened in the foggy dungeon, so it is not recommended to jump to conclusions. Anyway, let’s go to Chuncheon Dungeon right away.”

“Oh, thank you.”

Lee Ji-hye frowned and bowed her head.

“If you wait a little bit, I will prepare it and take you right away.”

“Okay. Just give me your address. I will go alone.”

“Yes? That, though.”

“I don’t want to drag a busy person. I feel like I’m disturbing you, so I’m sorry for nothing.”

Cha Shin Hyeon said succinctly.

In the end, Lee Ji-hye, who was in conflict, chose the path of Meoksabonggong (滅私奉公).

She has practically nothing to help Cha Shin Hyeon – except for her level of companionship – and she’s been too busy to follow along for no reason.

“… … I know. Please go carefully.”

Sounds a bit gloomy, I guess you’re mistaken. Cha Shin Hyeon silently nodded her head.

I was afraid to even talk about the dungeon in the foggy dungeon, but I decided to put it off. Anyway, to inform you of the outcome of the Chuncheon Dungeon, we have to meet once more, so it is not too late to tell.

Even so, throwing the word “crack” like a riddle at a busy person and then going away.

‘It’s not urgent.’

Rather than an anomaly of unknown cause now.

I was more curious about the monster in front of me.

* * *

Cha Shin Hyeon, who headed straight to Chuncheon, found an early lunch and found the dungeon.

The Dawning Hunters, who were on guard around the entrance to the dungeon, let Cha Shin Hyeon pass, as if they had been contacted in advance.

I did not receive any information about the inside of the dungeon on purpose. Up until now, I had always been briefed on terrain and monsters, but this time I left it in an unknown state.

Although Lee Ji-hye didn’t know much.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who lightly checked her outfit, entered the dungeon soon after.

widely.

As soon as you land, your body leans. This is because the entrance was on a fairly steep slope.

Looking around, it looked like a mountain. Hills are usually made of piled up soil, and what is being stepped on is a blackish stone. Because of that, it looked barren without a single tree.

The always-on gimmick informed us that there were no creatures within several hundred meters of the dungeon upon entering the dungeon.

Reconnaissance is basic for unknown places.

In the meantime, in Jeju Island, I had to adapt to the people around me to some extent, but since I came alone, I don’t have to do that at all.

wiggle.

Cha Shin Hyeon’s body rose lightly into the air.

He flew like a bird toward the cloudy sky.

As the altitude increases, the entire dungeon becomes visible at a glance.

‘Hmm.’

Cha Shin Hyeon, looking down, let out a light sigh.

The bumpy stone floor continues all the way to the far side of the field of vision. The places that rise up to a height of several hundred meters above the stone floor can be called mountains.

Those mountain peaks were scattered all over the dungeon. Not too many, maybe a dozen or so. The distance between each peak is about two kilometers.

The problem is that mountain peaks are not normal peaks.

There was one crater per mountain peak, which appeared to be well over two hundred meters in diameter. The crater was too large for the gentle, low mountain height.

What is boiling there is reddish lava.

‘There are no signs of monsters anywhere else.’

If so, there is only one place to go.

With a subtle expression, Cha Shin Hyeon picked up a crater and fell.

As he got down to the crater’s edge, he looked down at the lava with curious eyes. It was of course the first time he saw the volcano in person, so he was amazed.

‘It’s amazing that there are monsters living there.’

The place captured by the senses is inside the lava. Am I soaking my body like a fish? Or is there even a space below where the lava is located?If you look a little closer, you’ll see.

Cha Shin Hyeon jumped into the crater.

Anyone who saw him would think he was about to commit suicide by immersing himself in the lava, but his body sank gently on the flowing magma.

It didn’t affect him at all that his feet were liquid or that he was emitting hot air. There was no difference either on the rocky mountain or here, except that the smell was so bad that he stopped breathing for a while.

Could it be that he couldn’t tolerate it?

bubbling-

The lava began to sway and boil.

yet.

👌👌👌👌👌👌

Something erupted through the lava.

No, the expression ‘pierced through’ may not be correct. It appeared because it looked like it was formed when the lava itself became sticky.

Its size is 20 meters. It just looks like a building is standing there. If we had to express the appearance, we could call it the shape of a melting person.

‘Isn’t it a living thing?’

It was definitely different from the monsters I had seen before.

There were a lot of guys with special abilities, such as spewing fire, creating wind, and turning into fog, but basically, monsters felt like ‘animals’. Although the appearance is bizarre.

But that lava giant (tentative name) was very heterogeneous. It is a monster made of lava instead of bones and flesh, with no feeling of being alive.

Cha Shin Hyeon lightly clenched his fist.

He waved his first ticket as a greeting.

Paaan!

The wind blows the lava giant’s head away with one blow. The clumped lava exploded, creating a fireworks show.

But.

through-

The lava in the lower part of the neck shuddered and crawled up, then made the head again.

However, if the size was reduced as much as it was restored, that was not the case. The lava giant was submerged in the lava, and the exploded head eventually remixed with the nearby lava. It was reproduced with almost no loss.

Cha Shin Hyeon, who frowned, opened her index finger this time.

Shh.

When he swiped his finger in an oblique line, the upper and lower body of the lava giant were diagonally separated along the path.

However, the boundary of the upper body, which seemed to slide down, is crushed and starts to flow again. The lava that moved gully becomes one again and rises upwards.

The lava giant regained its form without difficulty.

I don’t know if I should call it regenerative power or resilience, but it wasn’t an average guy to nullify his attack twice anyway.

“her.”

Eventually, Cha Shin Hyeon opened his mouth and let out a smirk.

“Look at this guy.”
