Chapter 31

There was no need to change to a weapon below 80 Gold.

At least 130 Gold or more…

Only then would the effect be felt.

Checking the inventory, the Gold had accumulated quite a bit as the materials for the Poison of Slowing and Poison of Hallucination were sold.

There was enough money.

Yes, let’s invest.

I decided to raise the price range a little more.

Only then did a weapon I liked start to come into view.

Oh, this is good.

[Alex’s Longsword]

Attack Power 47

Strength +2

Durability 140/140

Usage Restriction: Stamina 20

[Instant Sale Price: 145 Gold]

Stamina was attached to the usage restriction.

Instead, Strength 2 was attached as an option, and the damage was a whopping 47.

It was much better than the Twilight Longsword currently being used by Sword Bone 1.

Muhyuk stared at the price for a moment, then pressed the purchase button with a sigh.

[Would you like to purchase?]

[Yes/No]

A phrase to confirm again.

When I pressed Yes, the money was deducted and Alex’s Longsword entered the inventory.

I rummaged through the swords again.

I need to buy five more…

I was able to purchase five more swords by investing about 2 hours.

The Gold used was 1,000.

Haru, no, spending ten million won in just two hours…

Muhyuk was surprised again.

Still, it means I’ve grown this much, so it’s not all bad.

Of course, I have no intention of taking a loss.

I vowed to get my money’s worth from the newly purchased weapons.

“Skeleton Summon.”

I summoned the summons and handed them the purchased weapons.

After recovering the ones I had been using, I put them up for auction.

They are decent weapons, so if I sell them all, I will get more than 200 Gold.

I finished organizing and got up.

Now, let’s fight again.

I lured a free Ogre by shooting a Bone Arrow.

Kuaaaah!

I aimed at him in the same way. The Ogre’s movements slowed down and the damage accumulated.

It’s definitely different.

A relaxed smile even flowed across Muhyuk’s lips.

The difference was significant just by changing the weapon. It felt much easier.

And the results were also completely different.

All the Bow Bones survived, and one Sword Bone also survived and dealt with the Ogre.

Good!

After all, the power of money was great.

“Corpse Disassembly.”

This time, one Ogre bone came out.

“Bone Assembly.”

The problem was that the stats decreased as the Bone Assembly failed.

Frowning, I caught the Ogre again, but this time, one bone came out, and the Bone Assembly also failed.

Damn it. My Mana is also running out.

I had no choice but to take a break, so I sat down in a place where Ogres did not respawn. Of course, I didn’t just sit there.

I have to make up for it!

I took out a disposable crafting tool from the inventory and started making a sword.

Clang, clang!

I felt the gazes of the users, but I ignored them.

[The sword is completed.]

It was a mediocre sword.

Tsk, about 5 Gold.

Considering the cost of the disposable crafting tool, it was almost no profit.

Still, it was better to sell it than to leave it in the inventory.

After putting it up for auction, I got up.

My Mana is full too.

It was Muhyuk who was hunting again.

Guardian Guild member Akran.

He became the leader in the level 30 Dungeon and led the remaining Guild members.

His expression, having finally reached the end of the maze-like Dungeon, was already that of a victorious winner raising a toast.

“Everyone, you’ve worked hard.”

Considering many factors, 150 promising level 30 players have entered the Dungeon.

They were more skilled than their level, and their growth was no exaggeration to say that it was the growth of the Guild.

“What hard work.”

“You worked harder.”

They praised each other and laughed.

In such a pleasant atmosphere, Akran took a step forward.

“Well, then let’s really finish it now.”

“Let’s do it.”

The exit of the Dungeon can be seen in the distance.

The distance is getting closer.

At what point was it?

Light poured out from the exit and enveloped them all.

[Clearing the Dungeon.]

[Rewards are given.]

Spheres fell in front of each of them.

“Oh…”

“Is this the reward?”

But a question arose from everywhere.

“I don’t have one?”

“Oh, me too.”

“What is this?”

At that, Akran turned his head.

Holding a white sphere in his hand.

“What’s wrong…”

The message that appeared at that moment.

[The number of reward recipients has been exceeded.]

[Calculating each person’s Contribution Points.]

[Rewards are given to only the 99 with the highest Contribution Points.]

[The Dungeon disappears.]

When I opened my eyes again, I could see the area around the gazebo.

“Guild Leader?”

Akran made a blank expression as he saw the Guild Leader waiting outside the Dungeon.

“What’s wrong?”

“Well, that’s…”

Akran’s explanation continued, and Guild Leader Kim Bada’s face quickly hardened as he listened to him.

Then, he hurriedly sent a level 30 Guild member into the Dungeon.

“The Dungeon… is gone.”

“What the hell…!”

On what should this anger be vented?

On that user who used the Dungeon first?

Or on the Dungeon itself?

It was neither.

He was angry at himself for not knowing that there was a limit of 100 people, and for not even guessing.

But he couldn’t let this anger linger. He tried to regain his composure and swallowed the heat.

“Hoo…”

Kim Bada closed his eyes for a moment and then opened them.

His eyes were already coldly sunken.

“What’s the situation with the Dungeon excavation?”

“We found one more place today.”

That was fortunate.

“Don’t let anyone in. Even if they are our Guild members.”

“Understood.”

“And put more people into Dungeon excavation.”

“How many should we put in?”

“Five times as many as now.”

Now that he knew that the Dungeon would disappear, what was important was not management.

It had become the discovery itself.

“One last thing.”

“Yes, Guild Leader.”

“Also, find out the locations of Dungeons managed by other Guilds.”

“Ah, understood.”

There was something easier than discovery.

Taking other people’s things.

I hunted Ogres and checked the messages from time to time while resting.

All the materials for manufacturing the Poison of Slowing and Poison of Hallucination had been sold.

2,200 Gold.

Even though I spent 1,000 Gold to buy a sword, that much had already been collected.

Should I buy Illusion stock?

Currently, Illusion is in the 2.6 million won range per share. But the future stock price that Muhyuk remembered was definitely over 10 million won.

If you buy stocks and know how to be patient, you will definitely make more than 4 times the return.

Yes, let’s buy it later with the remaining amount after deducting half a year’s living expenses when we exchange it for cash.

Was it because I made a plan?

I suddenly wondered how much the paid information fee would be.

Because it is settled once a month.

There was still a long way to go.

Well, it’ll be quick if I concentrate.

I smiled and got up.

It was time to hunt Ogres again.

Step.

I approached the Ogre playing in the distance.

But coincidentally, other users who appeared to be in a party were approaching the Ogre that Muhyuk was aiming for.

Muhyuk paused for a moment as they confirmed each other in an ambiguous location.

Should I find another one?

Muhyuk was thinking of yielding even though he was sure he had started first.

Because it would be annoying to bump into them.

But they were approaching the Ogre without caring even after discovering Muhyuk.

His brow furrowed for no reason at that sight.

Did they not care in the first place?

Muhyuk chuckled.

He erased his smile and took another step.

Just as the distance narrowed.

“It looks like that person is going to hunt?”

“What are you talking about? We found it first.”

“Hey, that’s not right. That person was first…”

“Hey, hey. We were watching all along.”

“We did see it.”

“That’s right. Sitting comfortably. Right?”

“Sigh, do whatever you want.”

The opposing party was five.

Two women, three men.

Two men were melee, one was an archer.

One woman was a mage.

The rest were priests.

I grasped the composition of the party at once.

“Excuse me, are you trying to catch that Ogre?”

A user presumed to be melee asked Muhyuk.

“Yes.”

“Haha, I think we found it first.”

“I started first. I arrived first too.”

“Heo, you’re being too reckless. We clearly saw it first, and you weren’t even visible when we started?”

“I was definitely first…”

“No, we saw it first.”

“…”

“Why? Is there a problem?”

The corner of the man’s mouth curled up as he asked back. As if he was looking at an unbearably fun toy.

My stomach twisted for a moment.

Why is that?

If it was my old personality, I would have just laughed it off.

I would have nodded, thinking that it was better to avoid it.

I didn’t want to do that now.

Have I changed?

Because I had been paralyzed for over 7 years?

Because I gained a new life?

Or is it because it’s a game?

I don’t know the reason.

But, I couldn’t stand it.

So I ended up spitting it out.

“Get lost, you moron.”

The words in my heart.

This was the first time. But after spitting it out, I felt so refreshed.

On the other hand, the opposing user, who had not judged the situation, was stunned for a few seconds and then shouted.

“You crazy bastard!”

He then drew his sword, kicked off the ground, and narrowed the distance.

The movement was precarious, but it was clearly at a level that could be caught. But Muhyuk deliberately did not avoid it.

He only raised the Skull Staff to block the man’s sword.

[Blocked the attack.]

[You are in a hostile relationship with the ‘Assa’ party.]

[Self-defense is established only for the ‘Assa’ party.]

A message popped up.

Now then…

From now on, Muhyuk’s attack will be self-defense.

I swung the Skull Staff in my hand with all my might and hit the man’s side.

The man who rolled on the floor frowned as he checked the lost HP.

“This bastard…”

“Hey, are you okay?”

“Forget it. The damage is quite high. Get ready for battle.”

“Ah, okay.”

In the meantime, Muhyuk had already summoned the Skeletons.

“What, Skeletons?”

“Pfft, what can those weak guys do?”

I ignored the words of the Assa party member.

Swish, swish.

I applied the Poison of Slowing, Poison of Hallucination, Weakening Paralysis, and Tears of Hemorrhage to the weapons of the Sword Bone and Bow Bone.

The Assa party, who were watching the scene, made dumbfounded expressions.

“What is that guy doing?”

“Just shoot an arrow.”

“Okay.”

One archer shot an arrow.

Muhyuk, who was already prepared, was not flustered and sent Sword Bone 1 to block it with a Shield.

Bow Bone 1, rear shot.

Bone Arrows flew towards the priest and mage.

“Shield.”

The mage’s protective magic unfolded.

But the range was narrow, and it seemed difficult to protect even one person.

Thanks to that, the priest was hit by an arrow on one shoulder in an defenseless state.

The priest’s expression, which had been nonchalant, suddenly hardened.

[Dealt 62 damage.]

[‘Tears of Hemorrhage’ is applied.]

[HP continuously decreases.]

[HP (12) decreases.]

[HP (13) decreases.]

[HP (11) decreases.]

I hurriedly used healing magic.

[HP is restored.]

[HP (12) decreases.]

[HP (11) decreases.]

But the bleeding still didn’t stop.

“Wh, what is this!”

“What’s wrong?”

At that moment, another arrow flew.

The priest desperately rolled his body, but was hit again by successive arrows.

[‘Poison of Hallucination’ is applied.]

[Hallucination is not applied to users.]

[Sustained damage is taken.]

Continuous HP decrease due to poison and bleeding.

In an instant, more than 20 percent of HP was consumed.

“He, healing!”

He was in a situation where he had to use healing magic on himself continuously.

If this happened, Mana would be insufficient. He might not be able to use healing magic on other colleagues fighting in front.

The priest shouted urgently.

“There’s poison on the arrow!”

“Damn it, I’ll block it for now, so you three take care of it.”

“Okay.”

Eventually, the man with the Shield ran to the priest.

He blocked the flying Bone Arrows.

Change target.

Muhyuk then changed his target.

He aimed at the man who was confronting Sword Bone in the front.

Transformation.

Muhyuk also transformed his staff into a bow.

He put an arrow on the string and pulled it.
