Chapter 159
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
..."Now for the last time...."
It was time to check Harmakan's third ability.
"Harmacan, explain the instance dungeon."
Instance Dungeon.
This time, Harmakan could turn the entire village of Yamiri into a world similar to a dungeon.
Harmakan said that he was able to learn this ability after repeatedly studying the legacy of Candiaru, which he discovered by chance.
That's why he claimed to be Khandiaru's disciple.
Harmacan answered Suho's question while putting his tattered body back together after being beaten by the soldiers.
[Yes, master. An instance dungeon is a spell that twists the existing dimension to create a 'backside world'.]
"What is this world?"
[To use an analogy, you can think of it as the world beyond the mirror. It is similar to the surrounding environment but creates a completely different virtual dimension. Ah, now that I think about it...!]
Harmakan opened his mouth, looking around him with an expression of sudden great realization.
Where is this place?
Isn't this the shadow dungeon, a world of rest that has crossed the border of the guardian's shadow?
The ruined city that now exists in this black-and-white world could be seen as a world similar to an instance dungeon in some sense.
This place is similar to the scenery of Earth where Suho lives but has a completely different appearance.
Harmakan complained to Suho and took back what he had just said.
[iced coffee! Sorry, master! I think the analogy was wrong! It was not a world beyond the mirror, but a world beyond the shadows!]
Harmakan's body trembled as he realized where Kandyaru got the inspiration to create the technology called instance dungeon.
[The order was reversed from the beginning! Candiaru must have developed a spell called Instance Dungeon after this shadow world! And the purpose is ultimately...!]
"Level up."
Suho received the words and nodded his head.
"I guess it was developed to help his father level up."
[It seems so!]
Until now, Harmakan had mistakenly believed that the purpose of instance dungeons was to create his world.
Because he, the central axis of the world, could reign as a king.
But now I see that wasn't the case!
He was not a king.
Just a boss mob.
It was just a device to give enormous experience points to players who came to conquer the instance dungeon!
[Besides, when I looked at it earlier, that pyramid was also the same.]
Harmakan pointed to the Pyramid of Ammut.
[That pyramid was also full of traces of Candiaru's repeated research to grow the Shadow Lord's vessel.]
"I guess so."
At those words, Suho nodded his head.
Strong Body Training Center and Instance Dungeon.
In the end, after much research, the level-up system my father used was completed.
Ironically, the 'unfinished traces' of Candiaru's efforts to complete the system were gathered to Suho one by one.
And the result.
[Master, the instance dungeon that I learned independently has the characteristic of attracting beings with evil spirits nearby.]
"Evil spirits, like villains?"
[yes. You can lie with your mouth and deceive, but you cannot deceive your soul. I can assure you that nothing can be better than my magic when it comes to identifying evil spirits.]
Harmakan, who likes evil spirits, smiled confidently and showed his teeth.
[That means that by using my instance dungeon, the owner can gather villains that he can hunt with peace of mind.]
[Very good! I thought he was a special guy, but then I realized he had such an amazing talent!]
Ber suddenly appeared and nodded with a very satisfied expression.
Then, with a smile even more sinister than Harmakan, he urged Suho.
[Solord! Very well! I've been frustrated with how slow the level-up has been, but now I can run properly! From now on, you will kill everyone you see, whether they are villains or evil spirits, and become stronger!]
"Arsha."
When Suho raised his head while listening to Ber's nagging, a swarm of bees the size of a small doll gathered above his head.
[Yes, Suho. Did you call me?]
"What happened to what you asked me to find?"
[I scattered my bees all over the place, but I haven't found any traces yet. Instead, I figured out the locations of several villains in case they were related to Hwang Dong-soo.......]
[Keeeeeeek!]
[Kyaaaah?!]
Arsha screamed as Ber suddenly snatched her body with terrifying force.
Ber held Arsha high like her trophy and showered her with praise.
[It is truly amazing! What a useful bee! Solord! It seems that only now are Lord So's soldiers starting to come together. Let's go level up right away!]
"Why?"
[Kiek?]
Ber was taken aback by Suho's reaction and didn't know what to do.
[Le, aren't you leveling up?]
"I have to do it. But the goal of hunting down villains has already been achieved. "If you are simply trying to level up, it is more efficient to just enter the dungeon."
Yes.
Like all hunters, Suho's activities as a bounty hunter were now much more inefficient.
However, there was no need to leave the villains that had already been found alone.
Suho said with a grin.
"Anyway, even if the shadow soldiers kill me, I still get experience, right?"
[Keeek! Of course it is!]
"Then let's split the team into two. I hunt in the dungeon, and the villains......."
The shadow soldiers watched Suho's gaze scan them one by one, their bodies tensed and waiting for his orders.
"Quay."
[yes! master!]
At Suho's call, Spear Knight Quay leaped forward and knelt before him as if he had been waiting.
"I will leave the villains to you. Take Harmakan and Kira and go around and deal with them. "Is it possible?"
[Well, like that...! Whether there is! If you leave it to me, I will handle it perfectly! Before killing him, I will gather all the information and find traces of Hwang Dong-su!]
At Suho's command, Quay felt extreme shivers and his body trembled.
He gave orders to himself, who was only a knight, to use Harmacan, an elite knight, as his subordinate!
Quay looked down at Harmacan, a new soldier who was stronger than him, with an incredibly proud expression.
[Hehehe! Did you see it? I am the Master's first knight, Que!]
[This can't be happening....]
Harmakan felt great humiliation from that blatant gaze.
Kira was just quietly smiling next to Quay and Harmakan, who were sharing their joys and sorrows.
[Murder....]
***
Right after that.
While public opinion is in an uproar over the Jisan Prison incident.
A dark cloud was casting over the villains who had been operating secretly across the country, avoiding the attention of the Association until now.
"...So, the metropolitan area is dangerous."
"I know yeah. "Hehe."
"After all, some hunters move to Seoul when they make money, right? The Hunter Association headquarters is also in Gangnam."
"So in the end, if you're going to do villainous things, it's safer to go on a local tour like we did?"
A suburb far from Seoul.
In the middle of the town market, where food was sold to travelers, the villains were sitting and chatting peacefully.
"Wow. "Anyway, the weather is nice today."
Wasak.
The villain took an apple sold nearby and took a big bite, looking up at the sky with a leisurely expression.
Warm sunlight.
A pleasant, gentle breeze.
Isn't this happiness?
but.
Except for the fishy scent of blood that vibrates in the wind.
...!
The mayor was covered in blood.
Bodies strewn about in horrendous condition.
This place, which was peaceful until morning, became a living hell overnight due to a group of villains who suddenly appeared.
However, the people who committed this terrible act were sitting calmly and chatting quietly.
"Ugh. These demons...."
"uh? Is there anyone still alive? "Your name is long?"
The corner of the villain's mouth went up as he saw the survivor crawling on the floor, breathing hard.
Then.
Sigh.
"Okay, now it's over."
The villain, who had neatly ended the survivor's life, took another bite of the apple he was eating with a refreshed expression.
Crunchy.
"So, the people who were caught in the first place were assholes? If they kill all the witnesses like this, how will they know who we are......."
It was then.
Creepy.
The villain who was eating an apple was suddenly startled and jumped up to look around.
Something has changed.
The gentle wind stopped.
The sunlight shining down felt somewhat awkward.
however.
"W-what! "What is this?!"
"Why are you making such a fuss all of a sudden?"
When the villain who was eating an apple suddenly made a fuss, his colleagues tilted their heads in confusion.
Yes.
On the outside, nothing had changed.
The smell of blood.
Corpses.
And his colleagues, who have been working hand in hand with each other for several months.
But things have changed.
"F*ck you! "What are you doing?"
"No, what? "Why is this guy like this?"
The villain, who did not notice any change, just made a puzzled expression as his colleague shouted at him.
and.
Suddenly.
"...uh?"
His head was cut off while he was sitting still.
Tuk.
Degururu.
My colleague's head was tilted to the side so vainly and rolled on the floor.
"W-what the f*ck!"
"Ugh!"
Only then do the villains feel alarmed and wake up all at once and begin to be wary of their surroundings.
At that time, there was a ray of voice passing by their ears.
[one.]
"Who, who...!"
Suddenly.
The villain's head was cut off again as he looked back in shock.
[Now two.]
Once again, the voice that sounded like the wind was mixed with a satisfied smile.
"Ugh! Everyone be careful! "I'm an assassin-type hunter!"
"Use your tracking skills!"
"Ahh! "F*ck, what is that again!"
The villains were shocked.
Ssaaaaaa-
They discovered the appearance of ghosts rising like a haze from the corpses they had killed.
[Hehehe. Many souls have a grudge against you.]
Wraith magic.
With Harmakan's sinister laughter, numerous ghosts grabbed the villains' ankles and strangled them.
"Ears, ghosts?!"
"Holy shit! I don't know what it is, but run away from here......!"
[That won't work.]
I love you so much-
"Ouch!"
Quay suddenly approached and pierced the thigh of the villain who was trying to run away with his spear.
He then grabbed the terrified villain by his hair with a vicious hand, lifted him, and looked him in the eyes.
[I like people who talk a lot.]
"Hehe...."
At Quay's narrowed, sinister smile, the villain's expression turned pale with fear.
Before he knew it, Quay had returned to the gaze of Lee Min-seong, the Vice President of the Reaper Guild and an A-level villain.
Smirk.
Quay asked him.
[Now, whatever you want, tell me everything you know. If you stop talking, I will rip your tongue out of this snout.]
Not to be outdone, Harmacan grabbed the already dead villain's soul with his evil hands.
[Cluck. After all, it is a knight grade. You can ask questions after killing them first.]
[...]....]
Quay gritted his teeth.
...And that time.
Tiring!
[Your level has risen!]
"uh? already?"
Suho suddenly leveled up.
Su-ho, who was going through the guild creation paperwork with Jin-ho Yoo's secretaries, scratched his head with a puzzled expression.
"..."How many times are they killing those guys?"
As it turned out, Korea was steadily turning into a villain-clean country.
