43 – Deceiver

“I think today will be a day I will never forget. To find two artifacts!! How are you so good? Huh? Huh?”

Yeonhee pokes at my side as she walks and asks me playfully.

I responded with a shrug of her shoulders, and she hummed her long hum and moved on at her bunny walk.

Occasionally, he paused and thought hard about something, but he muttered, ‘Those with one-eyed patterns…’ And it seemed that Yeon-hee was also a little concerned about her blue eyes.

Maybe there will be a reward if Yeonhee kills them.

‘Those… Robes don’t have a shadow attack function? The cloak almost reflexively causes the shadow to pop out and attack.’

As I was walking, I thought back to the time when I got rid of my blue eyes, and I had such a question. I learned that not all blue-eyed followers had the cape, but the ones wearing the robes were so low-ranked that they couldn’t even get assigned to them.

There was nothing to be sure of if there were other roles. Just a guess.

‘They’re branches are very divination organizations, so they won’t be able to attack and attack in a specific way… Can we just hope that we run into each other in a dungeon?’

Of course, if their purpose is to find artifacts, they’ll have a lot of bumps into us, but looking at their behavior today, they don’t seem to be as good at searching as I am.

‘Still, the fact that he was hanging around by the tomb means that he knew the location of the artifact to some extent, but hmm…’

“Ah, the exit.”

We reached the exit and, as usual, we said goodbye for a while.

“Wouldn’t it be possible to keep walking together if you wear a full body armor that can cover your face?”

Of course, there are hunters who walk the streets wearing gear, but no hunters even cover their faces. I’m sure you’ll get checked out.

Leaving behind Yeon-hee’s face full of regret, she was sucked back into the dark space.

·········

Sometimes when I step foot in this desolate place after being with a chattering child, I sometimes have the illusion that I may have been dreaming.

‘Sometimes it’s so quiet…’

Soothing himself, he began to move his body as usual while holding the dagger.

Whirik-

Shashak-

‘Yeonhee seems to be on track now… If you go to the Fire Monkey Dungeon and check its hidden space, you can challenge the Lizard Marsh or Hobgoblin Dungeon right away. Then I changed jobs…’

Of course, it would be okay to safely go around the Treant Forest or Fire Monkey Dungeon and achieve growth.

‘We don’t have much time.’

Down- Poof!

Remember the movements of your life as much as possible and fight with an imaginary enemy in front of you. Because this is all I can do right now.

The Giant’s Dungeon.

In this place called one of the world’s 8 greatest dungeons located in Geoje Island, Jo Ki-man and his party members were taking a break on the stairs going down to the 5th floor after clearing the 4th basement level.

The reason this dungeon is called one of the world’s 8 greatest dungeons is that no one has reached the lowest level. Of course, the remaining 7 dungeons were also dungeons that did not reach the lowest level.

And that was also true of Jo Ki-man, who is living his 7th life.

‘I’ll show you where the end is this time.’

It’s surprising that he’s grown to this level, having been an F-class hunter for 10,000 years without a single skill, but it’s embarrassing to even think of him not being able to clear this dungeon even once despite living six lives.

The highest number of floors in this dungeon known so far is the 6th floor.

Even that was a record only Jo Ki-man had set.

But that was the result of the 7th round, and the highest floor that Jo Ki-man reached up to the 6th round was the 9th floor.

When I thought of the huge monsters with overwhelming power, I felt dizzy and my fist moved to my forehead.

‘Even the Seven Headed Dragons were extremely cautious when mentioning giants. If it weren’t for those blue-eyed guys, I’d be able to focus more on this dungeon. Damn it!’

The ‘Blue Eyes’ organization, which interfered with his work every time it was repeated, was very annoying even to Jo Ki-man.

I can’t just leave them alone, but they’re too well hidden to actively seek them out, so I could only count on one hand the number of bases I’ve identified until the 6th playthrough.

So what I came up with was to use Lee Yeon-hee, who is called a genius summoner, to keep them in check.

‘If you leave it alone, it will grow too much. A monstrous year…’

She was a woman who should not be left unattended, because in the third round, when she fully supported her, she went beyond the level of keeping her blue eyes in check and became the ruler of the hunters.

Because the Seven Headed Dragons want only Jo Ki, the incarnation of himself, to grow into the most influential being in this world.

So let it grow enough to use it moderately, but don’t let it climb endlessly.

‘Orc corps commander… It’s only right until then…’

An Orc corps commander with a weapon as powerful as the monsters on the 9th floor of the Giant’s Dungeon.

A monster corps led by the Orc corps leader appears, and Lee Yeon-hee, who has a strong sense of justice, reduces the size of the corps to some extent. Of course, without my support, Lee Yeon-hee has never defeated the corps commander, so he will struggle and die.

After this, Seoul is in crisis and on the verge of being completely conquered by the orcs, he appears and solves the problem, imprinting a perfect hero image on the people.

Jogiman, who drew such a scenario in his head, nodded slightly.

“What do you keep mumbling to yourself?”

It was Kang Kang-soo who awakened Jo Ki-man, who had fallen into thought. As possessed of a fiery temper as much as her abilities, she was just as reluctant to Cho Ki-man as Lee Yeon-hee.

Of course, only Jo Ki can easily subdue her by force, but her influence or role was difficult for anyone to replace. Of course, only her early age made her uncomfortable, although other reasons outweighed it.

“In the dungeon, you would have told me to pay attention.”

Jo Ki-man glanced at her, responding calmly to her effort.

“Can you make me not care? Gil.De.Jang?”

Anyone could tell that Kang Yeon-soo didn’t like Jo-gi-man that much just by looking at the way he pressed down the word guild leader.

“Huh- Rather than that, Mr. Owner? You can’t find the hidden space at all?”

Jo Ki-man’s most faithful subordinate, versatile A-class hunter Jung Joo-in, who plays the role of a secretary as well as a searcher, just nodded her head without saying a word.

“If only one artifact fell, there wouldn’t be a jackpot like today. Jeop-“

It was a lecturer who wanted to focus on today’s subjugation, which had already achieved sufficient results.

“Chuck- if I push to the 6th floor today, I’m sure something good will come out. My intuition tells me that, right?”

Tank tanker Cha Moo-yeol, who recently joined the S-rank Hunter, burst into laughter and said, and Kang Kang-soo sighed, “Please.”

Kangsu Kang, who is in charge of managing the guild’s finances, was always thirsty for results, so the other team members considered it as a normal complaint.

“Ah~ I want to see our cute Yeonhee.”

“You mean the summoner?”

“Yes, how cute. hehehe-“

“Isn’t that your taste?”

“What did he say again. Do you want to die?”

“Sorry, sorry…”

When the lecturer growled and glared at him, healer Koo Min-min, who had the courage to joke with him, scratched his head and lowered his head.

“Certainly, if you deal with monsters, it will be of great help to the team.”

“I heard before entering the dungeon that the number of summons has already exceeded 5. I’m really looking forward to it.”

Looking at Kang Kang-soo, who was chatting about Cha Moo-yeol and Lee Yeon-hee, Jo Ki-man thought.

‘It’s not bad… The gap is big compared to other episodes, but is it rather good? I can stay a little longer.’

To make things go according to his plan, he needed to turn a blind eye to his growth to some extent.

In addition, as I found out through [Search], The potential of her summons was not much different from that of a 10-year-old F-class hunter, so there was nothing to worry about. She doesn’t make a Skeleton Soldier grow into a Lich just by using a little flame bullets.

Perhaps other summons are the same.

“Let me go down again.”

Something like scales were reflected on Jo Ki-man’s face as he descended the stairs, but no one noticed.

The fire monkey dungeon was closed for another day, so we subdued the Treant Forest dungeon once more.

Unfortunately, the level didn’t go up, but we finished the subjugation smoothly and made an income of 300,000 won. We gathered in a studio and had a strange discussion where only one person spoke.

“That’s why I’m going to go to the Fire Monkey Dungeon one more time. It’s too bad to try it just once, right? And since the officials dispatched from the Bureau of Investigation found nothing wrong, wouldn’t it be okay?”

‘You shouldn’t be more anxious about the point you couldn’t find, Yeon-hee.’

It was absurd that 30 people were massacred and the cause could not be identified at all. However, the personnel dispatched from the secretariat must not have been very incompetent, and they really couldn’t find out, which is very embarrassing.

I drew a simple picture on the notebook that Yeonhee always leaves on the floor and circled it a few times.

“Um… You mean we only go around the entrance?”

Nod-

“Ilwol is a coward. hehehe.”

‘I saw it correctly.’

I tilted her head back as if I was taken aback by her words, and her eyes widened in an arc and she giggled.

‘I’ve lived my whole life with a safety orientation, so it’s not wrong.’

But this time, I couldn’t yield. Because you can’t walk around in a place where you don’t know what danger might lurk.

Kidduk- Kkaduk-

Yeon-hee, who was watching Wang Wang-i’s eating show, her fat belly bouncing up and down, nodded her head, saying, “Let’s do it.”
