There was one thing that you had to keep in mind when fighting Hellhounds .
Never touch the Hellfire .
It didn’t matter if you had a legendary item with very special abilities .
But if you didn’t, hell would begin the moment you touched the Hellfire .
If Hellfire came into contact with your skin, the most common and effective measure was to cut off the part that had touched the Hellfire .
Was more explanation still needed?
Of course, if you were to say these words to a tank, they would all give you the same response .
“Fuck, if it’s as easy as you’re making it sound, why don’t you tank instead?!”
It was virtually impossible .
First of all, there were no rules to a Hellhound’s usage of Hellfire .
There were some signs when the Hellhound was about to use it, but no sign could be used as a clear indicator .
Moreover, the Hellhound itself was an incredibly large monster .
Would it be possible to completely avoid the Hellfire when faced with a monster like that?
However, that was exactly what Lee Jin-ah was doing at that moment .
Roar!
He perfectly evaded the Hellfire that the hellhound spewed with a well timed roll .
Moreover, this was the nineteenth time this had happened .
During his confrontation with the Hellhound, he had avoided nineteen surprise Hellfire attacks as well as body slams, scratches and bites .
It was quite surprising .
‘Is this really happening?’
In fact, Lee Jin-ah was surprising even himself at the moment .
Of course, Lee Jin-ah’s surprise was only half-serious .
Because he knew .
‘This is why he pushes me so hard . ’
That this was only possible because of none other than the intense training he received from Kim Woo-jin .
In that training that seemed to go beyond simple life and death, Lee Jin-ah had learned how to instinctively read monsters’ behaviour .
This was one of the most important skills that a player could possess .
And the result was quite clear .
Awoo!
Awoo!
Awoo!
The Hellhound that could even defeat experts wearing equipment worth billions of dollars, now looked like a hedgehog with numerous swords sticking from its body .
This monster, which would give most players nightmares, was now in a very miserable state .
‘Kuh, I can’t believe I’ve gotten this strong . I’m pretty amazing after all . ’
Lee Jin-ah admired his power .
He felt like he deserved to feel drunk on his power .
Today’s battle would surely hold an important place in his future biography, with an entire page being dedicated to it .
Roar!
But it wasn’t something he could do while the Hellhound was still alive .
‘Ah!’
In the short moment that Lee Jin-ah had lowered his guard, the Hellhound spat out a black fireball with amazing accuracy .
‘Is it possible?’
Lee Jin-ah, who had avoided the Hellhound’s Hellfire nineteen times before, was experiencing this situation for the first time .
Moreover, the Hellfire that the Hellhound had spat out before completely surrounded him like a minefield .
It was impossible to avoid it .
‘Fuck . ’
Of course, even at this moment, Lee Jin-ah was not frozen in shock .
Instead, he quickly realised what he would have to do .
‘I’ll give up an arm . ’
Block it with one arm before cutting off the affected area!
‘I use my right hand to eat, so I’ll give up my left . ’
Lee Jin-ah raised his left hand without hesitation .
It was then .
Clang!
The Hellfire that had been flying toward Lee Jin-ah hit an invisible wall and disappeared .
‘Huh?’
Lee Jin-ah was caught off guard .
Standing in front of him was Kim Woo-jin with the Aegis Shield .
He had arrived .
Lee Jin-ah couldn’t help but feel some admiration for Kim Woo-jin who appeared like a savior while wondering if he’d already taken care of his Hellhound .
However, he didn’t ask the question .

Kyaha!
The moment the Hellhound’s fire had been blocked, the two Skeleton Knights that had been waiting, rushed forward and stabbed their swords into the Hellhounds body .
Puk!
Meanwhile, Kim Woo-jin also approached the Hellhound .
The climax of the battle immediately began .
…
Awoo!
With one last cry, the Hellhound fell to the ground .
Its appearance was quite horrifying to look at .
Dozens of Swords had been stuck into its body, and there were parts that appeared sunken as though they were cut away and healed .
Kehuh!
Kehuh!
Nevertheless, the Hellhound forced itself back up again, a black fireball visible in its mouth .
Awoo, awoo!
Awoo!
It seemed that it was burning the last of its energy to give its all in this fight .
‘We don’t need to fight any more . ’
However, Kim Woo-jin had no intention of giving the Hellhound such an honorable ending .
He wasn’t here to shoot a movie or a drama after all .
Rattel!
At Kim Woo-jin’s command, all the Skeleton Soldiers immediately began to retreat .
Kyaha!
The Skeleton Knights also distanced themselves from the dying Hellhound .
He was simply waiting for it to die .
Kung!
Kung!
When it noticed this, the Hellhound cried out in anger, but it changed nothing .
The skeletons all retreated to a distance the Hellhound couldn’t reach, waiting for their prey to die .
Kim Woo-jin also observed the Hellhound from a distance .
[Horus’ Eyes have opened . ]
Kim Woo-jin’s eyes suddenly began emitting golden light .
Then a bunch of information appeared in front of him .

One of the things that stood out, was an item that was in the Hellhound’s stomach .
[Seventh Tail of the Nine Tailed Fox]
– Rating: Legendary
– Required Level: Level 1 or higher
– Description: The seventh tail of the Nine Tailed Fox . It has the ability to create an alter ego .
– Chance to create an alter ego when equipped .
The Seventh Tail of the Nine Tailed Fox .
‘So this is the reason . ’
This tail, which had the chance to create an alter ego, was the reason there were two Hellhounds .
‘This is the first time I’ve seen the seventh tail . ’
In addition, it was the first time that Kim Woo-jin had encountered the item .
‘How fortunate . ’
Of course, it was a wonderful gift that he had no intention to refuse .
“Is it over now?”
Then Lee Jin-ah approached him while asking a question .
His voice was hoarse, showing just how exhausted he was .
This also showed that the tension and pressure that he had felt for the first time had finally eased .
It was worth it .
“Ugh, when I saw that there were two of them, I instantly got dizzy . ”
No one in the world would have dared to imagine that there would be two Hellhounds in the dungeon .
From Lee Jin-ah’s perspective, learning that information was like being told to make preparations for his death .
“Don’t relax . ”
Kim Woo-jin looked at Lee Jin-ah before saying .
“The most important part has yet to come . ”
“Huh?”
Kim Woo-jin began to explain to the confused Lee Jin-ah .
“Things have changed in many ways . That’s why we have to modify our plan for when we leave the dungeon . ”
Before entering the dungeon, Kim Woo-jin didn’t know about the Aegis Shield, two Hellhounds and the Seventh Tail of the Nine Tailed Fox .
This meant that they would have to revise the plan they’d made in advance since the situation had changed .
“Firstly, we’ll hide the Aegis Shield . ”
The most important thing for them was the deal with the Aegis Shield .

“Hide it?”
“If we ask the Sword Saint for the Aegis Shield that we already collected and hid, he will surely feel miserable . ”
“Ha! Yeah, we have to torment that bastard . ”
Lee Jin-ah nodded .
“And we’ll need to add a few injuries . ”
“Injuries?”
“The Sword Saint would doubt it if the two of us cleared a dungeon his elite team couldn’t even with the Aegis Shield, without any injuries . ”
When he heard that, Lee Jin-ah nodded again .
“I’ll have to cut off at least an arm . ”
“Huh?”
However, Lee Jin-ah shouted in fright when he heard the next words Kim Woo-jin said .
“Why an arm?”
“It will have more of an impact . It’s fine, I can always reattach it after we leave, can’t I?”
“R-, right, but cutting off an arm…”
“Lee Jin-ah, in your case, you will need to have injuries all over your body . ”
“No, wait! Why should I do that? Huh? Why am I the one who has to suffer the most?”
Kim Woo-jin gave a simple reply to the unconvinced Lee Jin-ah .
“I almost died twice already, now it’s your turn . ”
Lee Jin-ah only had one thought at that moment .
“You really are the Spawn of Satan . ”
It was then .
[You have slain the Hellhound . ]
[Your level has increased . ]
[The Emissary of the Underworld admires your capabilities . ]
[The Emissary of the Underworld has bestowed some power onto you . ]
[The rank of the Skeleton Knight skill has increased by one . ]
[The rank of the Bone Sword skill has increased by one . ]
The notifications announcing the end of the dungeon attack sounded out .
However, Kim Woo-jin didn’t pay much attention to it .
‘Now that I’ve truly gone against the Sword Saint, there will no longer be any clumsy jokes . ’
This was just the beginning .
‘Now, the real war starts . ’
