It had been a month since the terrorist attack on the Esprit Guild in Paris, France .
The chaos caused by the attack didn’t subside, but instead had grown much larger than a month before .
[Will the Special Player Protection Act be passed?]
The reason for this was the Special Player Protection Act .
-This is nonsense! Players already enjoy enough privileges!
-This is like putting a police badge on a criminal!
-They’re getting paid to indulge!
The ordinary citizens raised their opposition, saying that the bill was an excessive benefit for the players .
The same was true for the players .
They too began using any means to protect their interests .
[The Esprit Guild declares indefinite strike until the bill is passed!]
[The French Guild Federation discuss general strike!]
Some players and guilds began pulling out the strike card .
The aftermath of this came sooner and larger than they expected .
[The number of escaped monsters soars!]
[France is in danger!]
It didn’t take that big of a crack for the dam, which had already reached its limit, to break completely .
This fact terrified the non-player citizens .
-The players are on strike so France will be destroyed .
-I think we have no choice but to listen to the players .
-Dammit, listen to the players!
And this horrific situation frustrated the French citizens as well as people all around the world .
After all, if the Special Protection act was passed in France, it was obvious what the players in other countries would ask for .
It was around that time .
[Johann Georg successfully clears dungeon!]
[Johann Georg does what the Messiah Guild couldn’t do!]
[Johann Georg and ten new heroes appear!]
Johann Georg and the Ten revealed themselves to the world by clearing a dungeon the Messiah Guild had given up on .
It was the moment when a new hero had appeared in the turbulent world .
Moreover, the new hero didn’t stand still after appearing .
[Johann Georg and the Ten immediately start attacking another dungeon!]
[The next dungeon is an rank dungeon the Messiah Guild gave up on previously!]
[They only rested for one day!]
After only a day’s rest, which was actually more like travel time rather than rest, they immediately attacked another dungeon .
-What was that? They only rested for a day before challenging another dungeon?
-Are they crazy?
-It’s not just dungeons, but dungeons that the Messiah Guild couldn’t clear, right?
-Could Isaac Ivanov even do something like this?
The world was astonished because no other players had ever moved at such a ridiculous pace .
“Is this possible?”
The same was true for Lee Jin-ah .
He was currently reading an article about Johann Georg with a shocked expression on his face .
“Didn’t they say that they’d been in the previous dungeon for a month?”
Taking a break after clearing a dungeon wasn’t just for physical recovery .
Instead, it was the mental recovery that was needed the most .
The stress accumulated after spending such a long time in a dangerous place like a dungeon, wasn’t something that could be gotten rid of by just a few days’ rest .
“Are they insane?”
Lee Jin-ah turned to look at Kim Woo-jin, who was also reading the same article as him .
However, his expression wasn’t the same as Lee Jin-ah’s .
In fact, Kim Woo-jin wasn’t surprised at all .
‘Johann Georg isn’t a person who would get stressed out by a dungeon attack . ’
First of all, the Johann Georg that Kim Woo-jin knew, was a madman .
Rather than getting stressed in a dungeon, it was more accurate to say he used dungeons as stress relief .
‘Nevertheless, it’s different from back then . ’
However, that was only valid when Johann Georg possessed the terrifying combat power that gave him the name King of Undead .
‘I’ve already taken a lot from him . ’
There was no way that Johann Georg, who had already been deprived of many things by Kim Woo-jin, could be as strong as in the past .
In fact, this was part of the reason that Johann Georg had been so silent beforehand .
‘But if he managed to take away the halo’s favoritism for a while…’
Yet in such a situation, he had managed to display a performance like this?
It was clear .
‘It looks like the Messiah Guild supplied him with a lot of items . ’
The amount of items the Messiah Guild completely surpassed the other four top guilds .
Moreover, Johann Georg now had a team of ten people .
‘Enough to fill the inventories of his entire team . ’
The roles of these ten was most likely that of supporters and inventory .
‘And there should be more . ’
Besides that, there should be more players who would also be used as support .
If they used their inventories, then the number of items they had would certainly be enough to completely crush Isaac Ivanov .
‘They might have even opened Lee Se-jun’s vault . ’
It wouldn’t be strange for them to move at such a pace if the Messiah Guild gave them an item that came directly from Lee Se-jun’s stash .
‘Lee Se-jun’s vault…’
When he thought about that, Kim Woo-jin smiled .
And with that smile, he took out his smartphone and sent a message .
Seeing this, Lee Jin-ah couldn’t help but ask with a curious look .
“Who are you texting?”
“The Lightning King . ”
“The Lightning King? What for?”
“Johann Georg’s appearance has filled Isaac Ivanov with competitive spirit . ”
“Competitive spirit?”
“Yes, a competitive spirit strong enough to challenge an rank dungeon for free . ”
Woowoong!
A text message came from the Lightning King, telling them his answer .
[I’ll prepare the stage . ]
Kim Woo-jin smiled when he saw that .
“And nobody in this world hates free things . ”
…
It was very difficult to defend dungeons in the Amazon Rainforest .
There were many monsters there that would make even the most dangerous predators a meal, as well as the Amazon’s unique environment which made even standing an arduous task .

One of the ways was to choose dungeons close to the edge .
The other was to secure the dungeon so that others wouldn’t be able to touch it .
Once a dungeon was found, the finder would leave traces so that they were able to find it, then they would set up traps around it .
“After this is the minefield . ”
And among the traps, the one that was used most frequently was mines .
The installation was simple, the cost per unit was cheap, and most importantly, the effect was good .
This was one of the reasons that the Amazon Rainforest was considered hell .
Of course, even this wasn’t perfect .
“Be careful, others might have left new mines here too . ”
Sometimes, if one’s luck wasn’t good, hostile forces might interfere with their route by placing new mines down .
“Then, before we begin, I’ll give you a debriefing . ”
While the Thunderbird Company’s workers secured the route to the dungeon gate, Roberto spoke to Kim Woo-jin, Lee Jin-ah, and Isaac Ivanov, who he had created using the Alter Ego skill .
“The dungeon we’re about to enter is the rank 5 Floor dungeon, Burning Forest . ”
Together with those words, Roberto handed them the documents he was holding in his hands .
[Burning Forest]
– Floors: 5
– Difficulty:
– Maximum number of entries: 299
– Requirements: Level 159 and lower
– Conditions: Defeat the Master of the Burning Forest!
– Reward: Skill Stone(A)
Honestly, not much information could be gathered from the dungeon’s title, but the fact that the reward was a skill stone meant that it wouldn’t be simple .
But that wasn’t bad .
“If a legendary item is found in the dungeon, then it will unconditionally belong to Thunderbird . ”
After all, regardless of what they find in the dungeon, it would belong to Thunderbird .
That was the condition that Isaac Ivanov’s party had to agree to in order to join the dungeon attack .
“We have no objections . ”
Had it not been for that condition, there was no way the Lightning King would have let Isaac Ivanov’s party into the dungeon unless he was stupid .
In addition, Roberto was joining the attack in order to ensure the conditions were fulfilled .
‘Dammit . ’
But from Roberto’s perspective, this wasn’t a good thing .
No, this was a situation that had already surpassed ‘bad’ .
The possibility of them clearing the dungeon was by no means low .
‘If it’s these guys, they could chew through a dungeon like this one . ’
The power Isaac Ivanov’s party displayed far exceeded common sense .
In fact, Roberto was certain that the monsters in the dungeon would just get bullied by Isaac Ivanov’s party .
That was the reason .
‘If these guys change their attitude…’
This powerful party was not something Roberto and his men could even wish to stand up against .
After all, wasn’t it a dungeon?
‘They’d chew us up too . ’
No matter what happened in the dungeon, there was no way for the outside to know .
Therefore, if Kim Woo-jin was to kill Roberto and say it was an accident, there was no way to confirm or deny his statement .
Of course, the Lightning King would definitely punish them for it .
After all, the Lightning King had never let off someone who crossed him .
‘Dammit!’

But none of that would matter to the person who died .
That was why Roberto was fearful of Isaac Ivanov’s party .
“We’ve secured the route . ”
At that time, the men who went to check the path to the dungeon gate, came back and reported, so Roberto nodded and stood up .
“Everyone, let’s go into the dungeon . ”
No one knew what could happen in the Amazon Rainforest, so there was no break before entering the dungeon .
Then Kim Woo-jin spoke to Roberto .
“We’ll go in first . ”
When Kim Woo-jin said that, Isaac Ivanov and Lee Jin-ah were standing behind him .
Roberto was startled by their appearance .
Usually, in cases like this, the watcher was the one who entered the dungeon first, and Roberto was the watcher in this case .
However, it was clear that Roberto did not even want to enter the dungeon in the first place, and was hesitant to go first .
Then Kim Woo-jin spoke as though he was warning him .
“If we hit you in the back of the head after following you into the dungeon, we’ll be punished anyway . ”
Even when saying such words, there wasn’t a change to Kim Woo-jin’s tone .
Possibly as a reaction to the threat, Roberto no longer cared about what would happen afterward .
“Do whatever you want . ”
In any case, if Isaac Ivanov’s party had malicious intentions, there was nothing he could do about it in the dungeon .
“Then we’ll go ahead . ”
Thus Kim Woo-jin, Isaac Ivanov and Lee Jin-ah began moving along the path designated by the Thunderbird staff .
Before long, a dungeon gate dug into a huge tree greeted them .
They didn’t hesitate .
Lee Jin-ah then Isaac Ivanov entered the dungeon one after another .
And just as Kim Woo-jin reached the dungeon gate .
Boom!
Suddenly, an explosion rang out, causing everyone to turn to the direction it came from .
Boom!
Boom!
Immediately afterwards, two more explosions rang out .
It was the sound of mines exploding one after the other .
“Something is coming!”
In other words, it was an announcement that something was moving through the minefield .
Roar!
Before long, a terrifying roar swept through the Thunderbird Company’s team .
“It’s an Ogre!”
Ogre!
As this wounded beast rushed through the minefield, it roared .
“Ugh!”
“Ahh!”
This roar caused the non-players to stumble .
Boom!
They were instantly incapacitated by its tremendous power .
Roberto was also shocked at its appearance .
‘Why is an Ogre here?’
It was harder to see an Ogre in the Amazon Rainforest than it was to see a jaguar .

Of course, it wasn’t the Ogre’s appearance itself that was strange .
‘Why didn’t I sense it?’
However, it was definitely strange for an Ogre to suddenly appear without any warning whatsoever .
In particular, there had never been an incident where an Ogre had ignored its injuries to charge through a minefield .
Although they were slow creatures, an Ogre was still smart enough to know that after stepping on a mine, it should not continue in the same direction .
Of course, he didn’t have that long to question it .
‘Dammit . ’
Once an Ogre began to run wild, it was hard even for high level players to kill it .
Furthermore, the ordinary soldiers would be virtually useless against it .
‘We have to kill it . ’
At that moment, only Roberto and his men were capable of dealing with the Ogre, so Roberto immediately grabbed an assault rifle from his side .
This was proof that he was adequately prepared for whatever might happen in the Amazon Rainforest .
In other words, it couldn’t be helped .
‘Ah!’
Only then did he remember the dungeon gate .
…
[Find the Red Tree to move on to the next floor]
The notification showed that no more players were allowed to enter the dungeon .
“What’s going on?”
Lee Jin-ah was shocked to see the notification .
“What happened? Why did the notification suddenly appear?”
Then Isaac Ivanov and Kim Woo-jin appeared .
The two of them spoke at the same time .
“It looks like there was an accident . ”
“It looks like there was an accident . ”
The same words .
However, their actions were different .
The real Kim Woo-jin removed a ring from his finger and put it in his inventory .
“Solomon’s Ring?”
Upon seeing this, Lee Jin-ah shouted .
“Did you use a monster to cause an accident?”
When Kim Woo-jin shrugged instead of responding, Lee Jin-ah spoke with a ridiculous expression .
“Hey! Please tell me about stuff like that in advance!”
“It was an accident . ”
“It doesn’t sound like an accident! This is why you don’t have friends!”
Kim Woo-jin stretched out his hand to the angry Lee Jin-ah .
“Aegis Shield and Nemean Lion’s Skin . ”
“Huh?”
Lee Jin-ah, whose expression was just filled with anger, became stiff when Kim Woo-jin asked for the two items in his possession .
After a while, Lee Jin-ah spoke fearfully .
“N-, no matter how wrong I was, it’s still a bit much to make me go naked in an rank dungeon…”
He felt that Kim Woo-jin was going to make him do something ridiculous to increase his skill rank .
Kim Woo-jin spoke simply .
“You don’t have to do anything in this dungeon . ”
Then his gaze deepened as he continued .
“Because I will clear this dungeon alone . ”
