79 – An Accelerating Clock

Currently, we are on route C. The most frequent monsters in this dungeon.

Of course, it wasn’t just Lizardmen that were popping up in abundance, it was also a place where miscellaneous guys like Hobgoblins and Big Boars also appeared. However, the number is relatively higher than that of other routes.

In short, it was a course that did not give any time to recover one’s mana.

However, considering our abilities, there was a shortage here too.

Chuwalaak!!

When No. 1 Roared and commanded, the Lizard troops grabbed the Lizardman corpses lying in places and began to peel off their skins.

I couldn’t feel the slightest bit of sadness from the fratricide. They already belonged to Yeonhee. Others, even if they were kin, were only enemies.

– Wow… Hayoon, this is the first time I’ve seen such a sight. Now I understand why you forcibly dragged us here. It feels like opening your eyes.

– Huh? Uh… That, right?

Noh Ha-yoon followed and continued the battle focusing on the monsters we spilled. And now, he was staring blankly at the summoned beasts who were boning at a distance.

My party members seemed to have a strange illusion, but Noh Ha-yoon’s eyes were all on me.

‘Still, the line is well maintained. Just do it from now on.’

On the contrary, seeing Ha-yoon acting much more cautiously than yesterday, I was a bit puzzled, but I didn’t care too much.

Thanks to Noh Ha-yoon, the dungeon subjugation on this day, which was held in a strange tension, ended surprisingly without any special events.

Of course, Noh Ha-yoon looked for an opportunity to stick to us, but that was only possible when there was a variable. As long as you don’t pretend to be crazy and attack me, the distance between us won’t get any closer.

Since we defeated the champion earlier than yesterday, we gathered at the exit to spend some time.

The chatter after a subjugation always has a special taste.

“Why, I’m more anxious because I’m not doing anything.”

Said Helen, her arms crossed, glancing at the no-day party.

“There is definitely something, but I don’t know what it is either.”

Yeonhee also tilted her head as if wondering.

“I can’t. I’ll be back in a little while.”

Jinkyung must have a personality that can’t stand being stuffy, so she eventually approached Hayun Noh, asked her something, and returned to us.

“What? You say you can’t come in for a while? A deal that came in unreasonably today.”

When Jinkyung shrugged her shoulders and said that, our party members shook her head as if they were really strange people.

“That… From what I saw today, it seems that you have a lot of interest in the Skeleton Soldier.”

“Yes? What about Ilwol?”

Yeon-hee asked back in surprise at Ji-woo’s words, who had just joined.

“It always had its toes pointing towards the skull. In my experience, that is often an expression of interest. But again, it looks like you have a lot of vigilance… Overall, I’m interested in the Skeleton Soldier, but I’m guessing it’s a very cautious stance?”

Jinkyung replied to Lee Jiwoo’s opinion.

“It was the same with the first attack. Hmm-“

“But Yeon-hee, this skeleton soldier is really something to be curious about. It’s not once or twice when you’re surprised while fighting together. Abilities aside, judgment is not that of a summoned person.”

At Helen’s words, Yeon-hee’s mouth moved, but her eyes were still looking at Ha-yoon Noh.

“Yeah, but he won’t come for a while. We just focus on our work.”

“Hee hee, so speaking of it, Yeon-hee, do you want to have a meal after finishing? Huh? We really need to eat sometime. For team unity! Just once please.”

When Helen pulled Yeonhee’s arms and said it as if pleading, Yeonhee seemed to be in trouble.

‘Good job Helen. Go buy some meat for him and feed him.’

In the end, Yeon-hee, who had suffered from the Helen Combi for a long time, ended up having the first dinner in her life, and I…

‘The room of time and spirit, what!’

I came back in front of the huge door and wielded my club like crazy.

‘Rather good. Summoners also need time alone.’

Boo Woong- Huwoong

In terms of experience, I spent an hour concentrating on swinging, but I couldn’t even step into the area I experienced yesterday.

‘Is it a matter of a sense of crisis? I feel like I pushed myself into a corner yesterday.’

However, I didn’t say I was nervous because I couldn’t enter the realm of innocence. Because I knew instinctively that such an opportunity doesn’t come often.

‘It’s something I’ve done before. If I work hard like yesterday, I’ll get another chance one day.’

Whoo-

A few more hours to continue training with the mindset of capturing everything I have in one swing.

Yeonhee’s sweet voice shook my mind, and I was soon sucked into the door.

* * *

“hehehehe…!”

The basement of an abandoned building whose construction has been suspended for several years in downtown Seoul.

There, Jo Ki-man and his right-hand man Jeong Ju-in were staring at a man wearing a robe with cold eyes.

“Keah haaa!!”

Jung Ju-in shouted while twisting the dagger that pierced the man in the robe.

“Now… Quickly tell me where the rest of you are based. Then I will kill you painlessly.”

“Kkeuhhihik- That, that place… Kkeuk! Ah, by Ashran-sama’s side!”

“You son of a b*tch!”

Jung Ju-in ripped through the man’s abdomen with bloodshot eyes.

Red fresh blood splattered in all directions, and the primary color was applied to Jeong Ju-in’s clean face.

‘Even if I say it’s useless… ‘

Cho Ki-man shook his head.

Jung Joo-in, who started to have him as his confidant from the 2nd playthrough. From then until now she has been my 6th watching sight. The guys who are active outside the dungeon are of a different faith than the guys who are looking for artifacts in the dungeon.

No matter what kind of interrogation they were, they were terrible guys who would never betray their comrades.

“Sorry.”

In the end, Jung Ju-in, who hid in such a shady place and killed all 30 Blue-Eyes followers who were working on a large-scale transfer door through which the orcs would come over, bowed his head to Jo Ki-man as if he had no face.

“Okay. If I say no, why don’t you listen?”

Startled!

He’s usually Jo Ki-man who doesn’t let go of himself, but when he feels uncomfortable, he’ll talk like that.

“Sorry, sorry-“

“All right. I didn’t come here with high expectations. Let’s close the gate.”

Cho Ki-man moved his steps towards the gate with fine cracks and spoke again in his usual tone.

Whoa-

How many times do you do this?

Jogiman started to put a red curtain around his gate, spinning his hand counterclockwise.

“Blood Seal”

According to Jogiman’s order, the cracks in the gate were neatly filled, and soon the energy of the gate disappeared.

Seal Spell, one of the abilities directly received from the Seven Headed Dragons.

Tuk-tuk-

Black blood was slowly flowing down the curves from Cho Ki-man’s fingers.

“It’s faster…”

The flow of all events was accelerating.

Preparing for the invasion of the Orc army two years later was not much different from before. For a large-scale transfer, that much time and resources are consumed.

However, this time the preparation phase was more advanced than ever.

Singularity fluctuated everywhere, as if denying his last life.

‘Has the clock gotten faster for half a year… no, more than that? Kkeukkeuk… Damn it…’

Ki-man quietly smiled and murmured.

From noble mtl dot com

“Do you think I will end like this…”

He had no doubt that he was the main character of the world. He will clear all the obstacles and make all beings look up to him this time. He was sure of it

Kuk Kuk Kuk ······

Only his distorted, dark laughter echoed in the silence of the abandoned building.

Eight days later, at the entrance to the Lizard Marsh.

We went through some big, if big, changes during the week.

Once Yeon-hee reached level 39, she obtained 4 additional summon scrolls and 4 additional Lizardmen. The current Lizard unit has increased to a total of 19.

In addition, with the income from the dungeon subjugation, the ancient crystal obtained by holding the ‘teeth’ could be turned into an orb.

Thanks to this, her magic recovery speed has increased significantly, and the amount of magic power has also increased by 30. As a result, she has risen to the level where she can summon all summoned creatures at once and operate them for several minutes.

And I caught up with Yeon-hee and became level 39 together, and for 8 days, I did not miss the top of the contribution in the Lizardman Champion Raid, so I was able to fill in a lot of intermediate runes.

Of course, Lizardman champions didn’t always drop intermediate runes. There was a time when only lower level runes would drop with a very rare chance, and that was the case on the 4th day.

So, 6 intermediate runes were added to the 2 intermediate runes that Ha-yoon Noh had added, making the full setting a total of 8 intermediate runes and 2 low-level runes.

—–

Giant’s Rune (Intermediate) Strength +19

Giant’s Rune (Intermediate) Strength +17

Giant’s Rune (Intermediate) Strength +16

Giant’s Rune (Intermediate) Strength +16

Giant’s Rune (Intermediate) Strength +14

Giant’s Rune (Intermediate) Strength +14

Giant’s Rune (Intermediate) Strength +13

Giant’s Rune (Intermediate) Strength +12

Giant’s Rune (Low) Strength +9

Rune of Power (Lesser) Magic +8

I didn’t like the fact that the absolute value of the stamina shared with Yeon-hee was lowered because I replaced the rune of vitality that increases stamina. Since the numerical difference between the rune and the newly obtained rune was so great, I had to replace it.

Our party was a contract to share runes in rotation. However, in the boss raid, the difference in contribution was large for anyone to see, so Yeonhee and I naturally took the intermediate runes.

Even though the three Helen duo gave out only low-grade runes among the runes we obtained, they accepted even that while feeling sorry. The gap between us and them was widening day by day.

The change in abilities over the course of a week was quite large.

‘My muscle strength has increased abnormally. Of course, it’s only for a moment…’

I reached level 40 today and depending on what options came out, I could change the runes, so I didn’t have to worry too much about the numbers right now.
