Chapter 37

Everyone else is focused solely on their own enemies.

However, only two people, the Guardian Guild Leader and the Phoenix Guild Leader, were observing the overall battle situation, so Muhyuk’s movements were bound to be noticed.

It’s okay. They’re quite far away.

What I need to worry about are the ones at the Dungeon entrance.

Three people.

Just as the distance was closing in enough.

“Skeleton Summon.”

He summoned Sword Bone and Bow Bone.

Bow Bone, rapid fire on everyone.

Sword Bone, Charge on everyone.

The three people at the entrance wore bewildered expressions.

“W-What is it?”

“Block it for now!”

Muhyuk smiled faintly.

If they’re scouts, their levels should be 38.

With the Skeletons by my side, I’m confident that they won’t be able to stop me.

Pang!

The Bone Arrow that was fired tore through the air.

One of the knights covered his entire body with his shield and ducked.

“Keugh!”

He was pushed back by the impact.

“H-Heal!”

His expression was urgent.

And his tone.

But the priest tilted his head.

It was just an arrow.

And one fired by a Skeleton at that.

“What? Why?”

“Just heal me…!”

He couldn’t continue speaking.

It was because Sword Bone, having closed the distance enough, was looking at his shield and slashing down with its sword from above.

Following that, the remaining Sword Bone surrounded the knight and slashed with their swords.

Currently, the attack power of the Sword Bone is evenly distributed from the mid to late 100s to the late 120s.

With eight of them, even if he blocked with his shield, his HP would definitely be decreasing at a terrifying rate.

“This, crazy…”

There was nothing he could do.

Just endure.

He did receive a heal in the meantime, but it wasn’t enough.

His entire body was instantly dyed silver, then faded and disappeared.

He literally melted away.

The priest and mage, who were looking at the spot where he had disappeared, couldn’t hide their bewildered expressions.

“W-What happened…?”

At that moment, a Bone Arrow pierced the priest’s left chest.

[Critical Hit!]

[Deals 186 damage.]

The priest blankly stared at the message that appeared.

186…?

Not even a user, just a Skeleton. He was hit by an arrow fired by such a thing and lost 186 HP.

Clink, clink.

The Sword Bone with its clattering approach felt so terrifying.

“Fire Wall!”

A huge wall of fire unfolded at that moment. It was an attack unleashed by the mage, who was barely maintaining his sanity.

But the Skeleton ignored it and passed through the Fire Wall.

Its HP decreased considerably, but there were only two users left anyway. All it had to do was deal with them.

“T-This!”

The two people were surprised and stepped aside.

Then, the Dungeon entrance was revealed.

Muhyuk’s eyes widened.

There was no need to deal with the two of them, he just had to enter the entrance.

Sword Bone, Charge.

While the Sword Bone approached the two users, Muhyuk kicked off the ground and dashed forward.

Pabat.

The distance to the Dungeon entrance was rapidly closing.

He flinched.

At the same time, he felt an eerie presence.

When he turned his head, he spotted something small like a dot in the distance.

It quickly grew larger and soon became a sharp point.

Ignore it.

Muhyuk looked forward again and increased his speed.

The Dungeon was just a few steps away.

He thought he just had to get hit by the incoming arrow and go inside.

Pook.

Just in time, the arrow pierced his back.

[Hit by the skill ‘One Hit Kill’.]

[Critical Hit!]

[Deals 928 damage.]

[‘Poison of Slowing’ is applied.]

[HP is continuously decreasing.]

[Movement is slowed.]

However, an unexpected number came into view.

928…?

Even if it was a Critical Hit and he was hit by the One Hit Kill skill, which was known to be strong, he never imagined that a whopping 60 percent of his HP would be depleted.

This is too much, isn’t it?

Muhyuk’s pupils shook violently.

No, I mustn’t panic.

The Dungeon was right in front of him.

Just a few more steps…!

At that moment, he heard the sound of air being torn again.

If the same damage came in, he would definitely die. He had to avoid it, but that wasn’t easy either. It was because his movements were slowed by the Poison of Slowing.

Damn it…!

There was only one way.

“Haaah!”

Muhyuk gritted his teeth and threw himself forward.

Just before passing through the Dungeon entrance.

Spot.

The arrow pierced Muhyuk’s chest after all.

Right where his heart was.

Guardian Guild Leader, Kim Bada.

As soon as he saw the scouts from the Phoenix Guild coming out of the Dungeon, he frowned as he watched a user charging towards it.

Is he a member of the Phoenix Guild?

Judging from the atmosphere, that wasn’t the case.

He’s trying to take advantage.

Judging by the fact that he’s trying to enter the Dungeon, his level is 38.

He summoned Skeletons, so his job is Necromancer.

If so, he was confident that he could kill him in one hit. Still, just in case, he was fully prepared. First, he applied the Poison of Slowing.

“Yura.”

“Yes.”

“Give me an enhancement spell.”

After increasing the damage with an enhancement spell, he loaded a magic arrow with a penetration effect onto the bowstring of the bow he had purchased for 2,000 Gold.

On top of that, he used the skill ‘One Hit Kill’ that he had recently learned after reaching level 55.

His stats and weapon alone gave him over 200 damage.

If enhancement and One Hit Kill were added, and a Critical Hit occurred?

He could inflict an overwhelming damage of nearly 1,000.

I need to get rid of the loach.

He aimed at the target and released the bowstring.

Pang!

The arrow accurately pierced the target’s back.

Even the message that a Critical Hit had occurred appeared.

But.

“Hmm?”

The guy didn’t die.

Kim Bada, twitching his eyebrows, loaded another arrow onto the bowstring.

Does he have over 1,000 health?

A level 38 Necromancer?

It didn’t make sense.

He’ll really die this time.

Rapid Fire.

He couldn’t use the One Hit Kill skill due to the cooldown.

Instead, he fired three arrows with the Rapid Fire skill. They lined up in a row as if they were one and stretched out.

The target was just about to reach the Dungeon entrance.

But he couldn’t avoid the arrows.

Pook.

One arrow pierced his chest.

Another Critical Hit.

It dealt over 400 damage. Unfortunately, the other two arrows fired with Rapid Fire tore through the air.

It was because the target had disappeared into the Dungeon just before they hit.

But with over 1,300 HP depleted with just two attacks, he wouldn’t be able to escape death as long as he was a Necromancer.

Even if he wasn’t a Necromancer but an ordinary knight, if he was only level 38, he would most likely die if that much HP was depleted.

There was no way a Necromancer would have the same health as a knight, so Kim Bada was certain of his death.

Swish.

He shifted his gaze from the Dungeon to the battlefield.

“Yuhwan.”

“Yes, Guild Leader.”

“Go over there and block the entrance.”

“Yes!”

Now, if he just cleaned up the battlefield, the Dungeon would be in his hands.

Muhyuk, who had rolled on the floor, laughed roughly.

“Heh, heh heh…”

His remaining HP was about 250.

If he were an ordinary Necromancer, he would have died instantly after being hit by the first arrow.

But Muhyuk was definitely not an ordinary Necromancer.

His strength was far superior to that of an average knight, and his stamina and agility were not far behind either.

Of course, he wasn’t just laughing like that because he had survived. It was because of the message that appeared the moment he fell here.

[You have entered a level 38 Unique Dungeon.]

[Experience (50 percent) and item acquisition rate (20 percent) increase inside the Dungeon.]

It was a Unique Dungeon.

That’s why he couldn’t help but laugh.

To have such luck.

Of course, it was also terrible that he had almost died from just two attacks.

But Guardian Guild Leader Kim Bada’s level was a whopping 55. It could be seen as a natural occurrence.

He was confident that he would overwhelm him in the future when time passed and their levels were the same.

So, let’s be patient for now.

He had to endure and grow.

That was the most important thing.

“Hoo.”

He leaned against the wall and rested.

Enough time had passed.

Honestly, he didn’t lack MP anymore. The amount of MP recovered was now greater than the amount consumed. It was thanks to the title and Groian’s Ring.

However, as the level of the summoning skills increased over time, the MP consumed per second would increase uncontrollably.

On the other hand, his Knowledge and Wisdom stats would gradually solidify. Of course, there was a way.

Groian set items.

But could he really get them?

He shook off his distractions.

It was because his HP had already fully recovered.

He got up from his seat and moved forward.

Thump.

His heart was already fluttering with excitement.

What will the reward be?

What will it give me if I clear it?

What is the shape of the Dungeon?

What are the monsters?

How long has he been walking?

Chichichik.

A strange sound was heard.

Something is coming.

He couldn’t see it yet.

Muhyuk summoned all the Skeletons for now.

Defense mode.

After that, he waited for the identity of the guy approaching from behind the Skeletons to be clearly revealed.

But no matter how long he waited, he couldn’t see it.

The sound was getting louder…

At that moment, something popped out of the floor. It cleverly squeezed through the gaps in the Skeletons.

Surprised by the sudden attack, Muhyuk twisted his body sharply and blocked something flying towards him with his Skull Staff.

Clang!

With a rough metallic sound, its identity was revealed.

A mole-type monster with a height of 1 meter, a Moul King.

With its long mouth and sharp crescent-shaped claws, it was not only agile, but also difficult to kill because it dug into the ground when it felt threatened.

Of all things…

Muhyuk’s brow furrowed.

Soon, his eyes lit up.

Wait, if that guy is here…

That meant that a monster that was a pair with the Moul King would appear soon.

Muhyuk’s eyes lit up and he hurriedly took out four items from his inventory.

Poison of Paralysis, Poison of Hallucination, Tears of Hemorrhage, Weakening Paralysis.

He evenly applied them to the weapons of his summons.

Krrr…

Just in time, he heard the sound of the guy he was waiting for.

Red Bear.

A monster that formed a pair with the Moul King. If the Moul King made it difficult for the enemy by going in and out of the ground, the Red Bear was a style that recklessly pushed and crushed with its huge body.

The priority was clear.

Bow Bone, Rapid Fire.

If the Red Bear died, the Moul King would run away.

Rather than targeting the difficult-to-catch Moul King, it was easier for Muhyuk, a Necromancer, to defeat the Red Bear, which had relatively slow movements.

Sword Bone, forward.

Of course, there was no way the Moul King would just watch.

It only targeted Muhyuk.

Chichichik!

The guy flew in from all directions, above and below.

The sound of his claws and the Skull Staff colliding was unpleasant.

Even as the clang! echoed in succession, Muhyuk commanded the Skeletons in his head.

Kwoooo!

Clink, clink!

The Red Bear’s recklessness and the Skeletons facing it.

The Moul King’s harassment and Muhyuk’s wariness of it.

A battle with a bizarre atmosphere that was difficult to describe in words continued.

Kagang!

Muhyuk collided with the Moul King several times and was convinced.

Its strength is quite weak.

Honestly, its movements are too difficult to keep up with.

If I could just knock it down, I would have a chance, but that wasn’t as easy as I thought.

At that moment, he felt an eerie presence behind him.

Muhyuk’s eyes lit up.
