“Woah, this is a huge door.”
Both pockets of his pants were filled to the brim with crystal beads e to think of it, these were the same training pants he wore when he left the house), jingling pleasantly as he raised his head to look forward. Jung Si-woo could probably reach the top of the door only if he jumped with all his might, and that would be a great feat. That’s how huge the door is.
‘Even if it’s only a test dungeon, does it make sense to be able to reach the end this quickly…and the werewolves couldn’t even touch him during the fight.’
Unlike Jung Si-woo, who was looking at the door in fascination, Soo Ah-rin was exhausted. She knew that he was strange for saving one who was falling down from the Sky Castle without hesitation but to think he was this strange.
“Jung Si-woo, did you learn any martial arts?”
“Just a little bit of basic Taekwondo, Hapkido, Judo, and Kendo. Because I was born like this, I had to learn them to control my power.”
Indeed, Soo Ah-rin decided not to ask to what extent was the basics he was talking about. Instead, she decided to tell him what he had to do now.
“Before entering the boss room, always check your physical health and stamina for thest time. You have to prepare the most powerful skill or spell to be used against the boss…but you have no skills yet, so it can’t be helped.”
“Why do you need to prepare skills and spells in advance?”
“Because all dungeon bosses have a three-second grace period once you open the door.”
It was another game-like term.
“Does that mean I could attack it during the grace period?”
“Are you able to attack the boss within three seconds?”
The boss wasn’t immediately behind the door, so yers with melee abilities often didn’t have that advantage.
“Three seconds, right? Got it.”
“The boss of the dungeon is closely rted to the monsters in the corresponding dungeon. There are a lot of werewolves in this test dungeon, so you can guess that the boss of the dungeon is also a werewolf or their superior.”
Soo Ah-rin said this herself, but it didn’t make any sense. This was because if you move to the upper level of werewolves, most of them broke through level 100. The criteria for selecting monsters in this dungeon was crazy! Either Jung Si-woo had gone insane, or Soo Ah-rin was the one that had lost her mind!
“Anyway, it doesn’t change the fact that only monsters that I can handle appear. It’s fine.”
“That was what I’m concerned about…no, it’s fine.”
Leaving Soo Ah-rin, who was resigned to her fate, Jung Si-woo exhaled deeply, bending his knees as he took a sprinter’s starting stance. He had kept the crystal monster beads in a safe ce. It was an obvious choice so that it wouldn’t slow him down, but he still had the money on him.
“Please open the door.”
“Oh, I hate myself for increasing your reasoning power.”
Soo Ah-rin ced her hand on the door and took a deep breath. Fighting the boss was scary, even in a test dungeon. Even if there is no death, the trauma of the boss battle remained for a long time. Though they have the best wings, if they can’t beat the boss, they couldn’t be promoted to a yer and would remain as candidates for years.
‘I can’t let that happen. This person must pass through the test dungeon…!’
Those who can’t pass the test dungeon in Sky Castle could go back to their daily lives, but they still didn’t know what would happen to those who can’t pass the test dungeons in the Ant Cave. It would be great if he could get out of the dungeon and back to his daily life, but what if that weren’t the case? Moreover, even if he can escape from the dungeon, what happens to Soo Ah-rin, who had been reborn as a supporter? She was even more anxious because it went smoothly so far. The future where Jung Si-woo fought the boss but was forced to kneel in vain was painted in her mind, and the next moment was colored in ck.
Although she was maintaining a bright tone, Soo Ah-rin’s body had been faced with death just a few hours ago. Once she started to feel anxious about one thing, she became anxious about everything. Perhaps the fact that she met Jung Si-woo was also just her dream.
“Perfect, thanks.”
“Huh? …Ah!”
She btedly realizes that she had opened the door of the boss room. The door that was opened couldn’t be closed again. Moreover, as soon as she opened the door enough for him to squeeze through, Jung Si-woo was already running forward!
[Groooooowwl!]
“This…!”
Soo Ah-rin fell on her back after hearing the boss’s clear howl. A werewolf was definitely an outrageous monster, but this one was different from just a normal superior werewolf!
“LevelLevel…100! Giant ck Wolf!”
“Ha!”
Did her words reach Jung Si-woo’s ears? It seemed that wasn’t the case when she saw him running straight toward the boss without hesitation. The Giant ck Wolf was in the far corner of the vast boss room. It was a ce that allowed no chance for an attack during the grace period, but that wasn’t enough to dampen Jung Si-woo’s spirit.
“Hup!”
“That is absurd!”
Within about 1.3 seconds, Jung Si-woo jumped from the floor in an attempt to race against time. Then, as if gravity flipped on its side, he dashed toward the monster as if he were falling toward it!
“I, sword.”
“Do you really have to make a joke while in this life-threatening situation?!”
“Fly!”
[Grwaaaaaaagh!]
Jung Si-woo wasn’t a human, but a beast. It meant that he knew exactly where to attack first to weaken the enemy. Three seconds, with only one chance to attack the enemy. The spot he aimed was its eyes.
[Grahhhgh! Geuhagh!]
“Huu.”
Jung Si-woonded on the floor and smiled victoriously. In his hand was the Giant ck Wolf’s left eyeball.
“You can collect body parts of the enemy during the fight.”
“When the monster dies, it disappears! That aside, it’sing from behind you!”
“I…know!”
Jung Si-woo threw the eyeball in his hand without looking back. The eyeball that flew in with a terrifying intensity hit its remaining eye.
[Gagh!]
The result was clear, as even its right eye gorily exploded.
“This…”
Jung Si-woo didn’t even see the enemy, but he hadpletely grasped the enemy’s condition and perfectly aimed for its weakness. Even when she was clearing the 32nd stage dungeon with the members of Soaring Tempest Guild, there was no yer like this.
“Oh, it hit the eye. Nice!”
“Did you just throw it randomly?!”
She just couldn’t put up with him!
[Graagh! Graaghgh!]
“Huu…!”
However, the loss of both eyes wasn’t enough to weaken it. He had a more acute sense of smell than vision, and he also possessed overwhelming agilitypared to other monsters over level 100. Crucially, three seconds passed since the boss room opened. It didn’t seem so difficult for the Giant ck Wolf to rush to Jung Si-woo and bite him. The monster also thought the same and acted immediately.
[Graaaagh!]
The earth vibrated. The floor through which he passed was smashed, and stone exploded all over. It was almost as frightening as his mother, who chased him with a broom.
“If you’re hit with that blow directly, you’ll die! Avoid it!”
“Thank you for telling me what I didn’t know!”
[Groogh!]
If the enemy were fast, he would try to tackle it and break its legs, but if I tackled the Giant ck Wolf’s legs while it dashed toward him like that, he would break his own legs. Then apply judo and use his strength to throw him over… It seemed like his life would be thrown over as well, so skip that. Then what should he do?
’The grace period has ended…there’s only his sense of smell left, but is there any way to use it somehow to trick him? ‘
Jung Si-woo hurriedly thought about avoiding the rush of the wolf. But to his surprise, he had a good idea.
“Good…”
He took off his toppletely. A muscr body like a sculpture was exposed to the air.
“What are you doing?!”
Soo Ah-rin looked at Jung Si-woo intently. Was this the form of a person who sought light without giving up even in the dark? If there were a phone, she would’ve taken a picture.
“Here!”
[Gwarghhhg!]
Jung Si-woo stopped in his tracks and threw his shirt to the opposite wall. Honestly, he thought it wouldn’t be deceived unless it was a fool, but fortunately, the Giant ck Wolf was a fool that ran as hard as it could to chase the shirt. Actually, there was no mana in his body, so the monsters’ sensing ability was lowered, but he didn’t know that.
“Okay… Ha!”
Whatever the situation, it was true that right now was a great opportunity! He waited for the Giant ck Wolf to rush to the other side of the wall and catch up with his shirt, and then attacked its hind legs with a heavy sliding tackle the moment he stopped. Surprisingly, with a loud cracking sound, its leg waspletely broken!
[Graaaaaagh!]
A horrible scream sounded out through the boss room. He tried to attack Jung Si-woo by swinging his other leg right away, but he had already been thrown back.
“It’s weaker than I thought!”
“You’re the weird one! You!”
If the attack didn’t go right, Jung Si-woo was thinking about taking off his pants this time, but fortunately for him, and sadly for the young girl behind him, the Giant ck Wolf lost one of its legs perfectly.
[Groowghh!]
“Yes, just hang on a little more!”
Jung Si-woo was a little bit scared when it first rushed toward him at an incredibly fast pace, but now he almost burst outughing when he saw the Giant ck Wolf limping toward him.
“Fight!”
[Growwgh!]
Of course, he broke both of its legs at the same time! The moment when Jung Si-woo’s sliding tackle, who didn’t know how to hold back,pletely crushed both hind legs, the Giant ck Wolf finally lost his bnce and rolled to the floor!
“Yes, I win!”
“I can’t believe this…”
Who would have imagined that a yer candidate without a single skill would be able to achieve this victory against a level 100 Giant ck Wolf? Moreover, to be able to defeat it this quickly!
[Groogh…]
However, while Soo Ah-rin remained speechless, Jung Si-woo beat down the Giant ck Wolf. The boss monster, until the end, couldn’t throw a single solid hit to Jung Si-woo before it lost its life.
“Oh, his body didn’t disappear. This boss can be looted as well, right?”
“…I don’t know.”
Jung Si-woo finishes looting 15 $100 bills and one small ck monster bead from the monster boss.
[Test Dungeon has been cleared.]
[The calction will begin.]
A small me rose from the underground and began to reveal its shape.
