Episode 162
[Risk – Very Low]
Jung Si-woo was about to return to the resting place and enter the dungeon immediately but went silent when he saw the message that came to mind when he decided to create the integrated dungeon. Wasn’t there only one difficulty to choose from?
“Uh…”
“At least it’s clear that strength doesn’t come from level alone. When I think about the dungeons that Oppa first went into, I doubt that it measures your abilities.”
Soo Ah-rin answered calmly. Come to think of it, by the time Jung Si-woo first became an underground player; there were still quite a few dungeons with moderate or slightly low risk. But what was the result, after all? Jung Si-woo finished choosing the only difficulty level while clicking his tongue. A series of messages came to his mind.
[There are currently 44,106 Ant Cave Dungeons on Earth corresponding to ‘Risk – Very Low.’]
[It is possible to integrate at least two dungeons to a maximum of 44,106 dungeons.]
[How many dungeons would you like to integrate?]
“All.”
[Using 0.05% of the remaining beads to create the dungeon.]
[A dungeon of ‘Risk – Slightly Low’ has been created. Would you like to enter?]
“Is it because there aren’t many left?”
“Whoever was involved in this system would never have imagined using an integrated dungeon to wipe out all the Ant Caves just twice.”
As he became accustomed to Dragon’s Senses and continued to express his power, how strong Jung Si-woo became, he couldn’t attract all the power of the Ant Cave to the extent that the danger couldn’t even rise to normal. It was very disappointing for Jung Si-woo since he had hoped for more dungeons.…it couldn’t be helped now that it had come to this. He nodded and entered the dungeon.
“Now that players are entering high-level dungeons, if you look around the planet, you’ll be able to encounter a dungeon made of people who have retired.”
“It’s a bit weird to make one for players that died, though.”
With Soo Ah-rin retorting to the end, the group proudly opened the door and entered the new dungeon. In an instant, the surrounding landscape changed, and the familiar scenery of the cave greeted the party.
[Ant Cave Extra 2. Entered the Strongman’s Cave]
[Clear Time Out – 1 Month]
“The time limit has been reduced, perhaps because of the small number of dungeons.”
“But I don’t think that’s true on the scale of the dungeon.”
What’s especially interesting is that unlike the previous dungeon name, which seems to have embedded the characteristics of a monster garden, this time, a dungeon with a fairly good name was born. What kind of monsters would appear? Jung Siwoo was looking forward to it…
“Come on, all of you.”
[Hmph, he’s looking at us]
[Something tells me I have to obey him. What the hell is this…!?]
As always, ghosts gathered in the large cavern. The seventh-level Soul Force made the ghosts feel overwhelmed and in awe of him. As a result, they weren’t able to resist much and simply lined up in front of his eyes.
[32,154 in number!]
“Okay, good job. About 32,000 of them…it’s ridiculous.”
He murmured with astonishment at the number of ghosts gathered before him.
“Usually, it falls by nine-tenths. The last unified dungeon incorporated more than 370,000 dungeons, but the number of players who appeared in a ghost state was only 40,000….”
“But now it’s more than 72%. This is very strange.”
What had changed since then and now? The average risk of dungeons. Jung Si-woo had already swept away [very low] risk integrated dungeons when the level was lower than now, so of course, the average difficulty of the dungeons that formed the integrated dungeons must have been much higher than before. Perhaps the higher the player’s level, the more likely they would leave a ghost behind.
“The Mana of the Earth has become more abundant in the meantime…”
His soul force had grown considerably compared to the past, but it still hadn’t affected him. Jung Si-woo nodded, folding away the thoughts that came to mind at the moment.
“Come on; you’re all listening, right? So from now on, let me make you a proposal that you can’t resist.”
“Oh, Oppa is more explicit than ever….”
[Ghost legions are very useful.]
Caina was right. It wasn’t bad that the number of ghosts he could act increased as Jung Si-woo had to push his head up because he was a monster. He called out some of the ghosts he ruled and briefly and decisively explained his position and their position.
“So if you want to keep the growth of your existence, just follow me.”
[…]
[Hmph.]
“Oh, is that a good thing?”
[Is that what the master is saying to persuade us…?]
Soo Ah-rin and Caina became distant at once, but Jung Si-woo didn’t mind. How simple and honest can this be! He didn’t doubt that his sincerity would work for ghosts. And that’s what happened.
[I, I’ll follow you]]
[I want to find the meaning of my past life.]
“It’s working!?”
“Hehe.”
More than 90 percent of ghosts vowed to follow Jung Si-woo! He didn’t doubt that it was because his eloquence was effective, but of course, it wasn’t. It was also because his soul force skill level increased, allowing him to exert a stronger influence on spirits. Because his dignity increased, he received spontaneous awe from those who were lower than him.
[I’ve been your fan for a long time! I can’t believe I can be with Jung Si-woo…]
Finally, relatively recently, the players who died checked Jung Si-woo’s performance, whether while fighting right next to him or on TV. They felt respect for him as the same player. All those causes led to such overwhelming results!
“Hehe, simple as that.”
“Oppa, I can hear you. I can hear you.”
With Soo Ah-rin’s desperate defense, Jung Si-woo’s evil innermost thoughts came to a halt. He rinsed his mouth with a whimper and briefly declared it to the ghosts who were ready to follow his orders even now.
“You’re at the heart of the magic that holds this integrated dungeon. If you belong to me before then, the dungeon will collapse, and many monsters will be freed to the ground, so please wait here for now. After I clear the dungeon, I’ll take you all away.”
[Okay!]
A representative ghost saluted quite nicely. Their level was also over 200, making Jung Si-woo satisfied. The contents of the dungeon, let alone the ghosts saved here, were a good harvest. No, an overwhelming harvest!
[But master.]
One of the ghosts carefully called out to Jung Si-woo. When Jung Si-woo shook his head, he said with a look of great regret.
[Sorry I didn’t tell you in advance. As soon as the dungeon was created, we saw one of these jointly summoned ghosts flitting into the dungeon.]
“What…?”
What the hell was this supposed to be about? Jung Si-woo looked back at the group with eyebrows raised, but they couldn’t have known. He asked the other ghosts, but they didn’t even see it. It turned out that the person who reported him was a particularly good-eyed sniper.
“You’re assigned to be a unit commander.”
[It’s an honor!]
Jung Si-woo soon concluded after thinking about why the ghost flew into the dungeon.
“Maybe he’s a player who died blessed by God.”
“Then I’d say there’s a fragment of God here, too.”
“There are tens of thousands of dungeons combined, so it would be strange if there were no sign of God.”
If the difficulty of the dungeon increased even a little, it would be very welcome. Thinking like that reminded me of a message as if I had read his mind.
[The risk of dungeons increases from a little low to moderate]]
“Awesome.”
“Oppa will be the only one happy with the unexpected negative changes.”
“It’s ridiculous that even if it changes like that, it’s usually just a risk.”
Jung Si-woo took the phantom bike out of his inventory and held it out to Caina. She naturally gave him a curious look while climbing on board.
[Are you giving it to me?]
“Are you crazy? Take this and pierce the front. Then Se-ha will clean up the rest of them. It’s perfect, isn’t it?
“It’s violent that three of us are trying to use tactics that we can only use with large armies.”
However, the scariest part was that it was possible for Jung Si-woo now. Caina shrugged in response, complying.
[All right, let’s go fast. Yong Se-ha, you’ll have to keep up with me and your master’s speed.]
“I’m not wearing my wings just for decoration. Ahh!”
The moment he tried to flutter his wings in response, the bike rushed forward! It was such an explosive acceleration that I wondered if there was a hidden feature in the Phantom Bike!
“Okay, let’s go!”
“I’ll follow you!”
Jung Si-woo hurriedly followed Yong Se-ha by activating his sprint with his hammer. Yong Se-ha, who held his lance, was the last to follow. Meanwhile, Soo Ah-rin still sat in Jung Si-woo’s arms, watching them rush from behind, waving with a bitter smile at the ghosts with their mouths wide open.
“You’ve never seen a dungeon strategy like this before, I understand.”
Immediately after, there was a terrible bang. Caina dug through everything that stood in the way of Jung Si-woo’s orders and whatever trap existed.
[Master, there are quite a few monsters that aren’t dead!]
“I can see it!”
Nodding at Caina’s words as she broke through the second room and went into the third, Jung Si-woo used his senses. For him, the whole body could already play the same role as the eyes, so it was possible to grasp the scenery inside the dungeon 360 degrees without having to turn away if the dragon’s senses were activated.
The place was shaped like a temple.
“Well…”
[Hmph…you’re here!]
To be exact, it was a ruined temple. Only Caina, running in tandem with the bike over there, could answer who made the ruins. The monsters, who looked like rags, cried at Jung Si-woo.
[I didn’t expect to avoid the competition and destroy the entire temple. I can’t believe that woman was your companion either.]
“I ordered her to destroy you.”
[You’re so confident! I can’t believe you’ve defiled the sacred battlefield between the strong…!]
Again, Caina was strong, incredibly so. Holding a bayonet that could only be used at the peak of high-level combat skills and high-level mana skills, she hit the entire room with a rush that raised the bike’s speed close to the limit.
[Hecto, the only great man, will never forgive you!]
Even if it was a temple that condensed the power of God strong enough to compare to Setnak.
