[Proceed to the Second Floor . ]
The first thing that greeted the group of 100 players as they entered the second floor was a wave of sweltering heat .
“Ah!”
Extremely high heat without any moisture wrapped around them as they finally looked around at the land which welcomed them .
‘A desert!’
A seemingly endless desert filled with red sand was the stage for the second floor of the dungeon .
‘Oh my God…’
‘This is the worst . ’
They despaired because they encountered one of the worst situations they could possibly find within a dungeon .
Their feelings were understandable . A desert stage was one of the scenarios where humans had the most disadvantages .
‘We have to catch the Firefox here…’
‘Even if this is an rank Dungeon, isn’t this too much?’
Faced with such a situation, if the players didn’t show expressions of despair when realising that they had to face extremely difficult monsters while also fighting against the environment, it would be strange .
‘Just as expected . ’
Kim Woo-jin, who had already expected such a situation, didn’t change his expression .
He knew the danger of this desert stage more than any other person there .
‘But the heat is worse than I expected . ’
In the desert stage, it was not easy to find a place to rest and the most pressing concern would be the availability of drinking water .
Of course, most of the people who entered the dungeon brought enough water to last them at least 5 days in the dungeon, and if they simply drank enough to survive they should be able to last much more than 5 days .
The problem was that if they wanted to stay in a shape that allowed them to battle at any time, the situation would be different .
‘The limit would be 2 days . ’
Kim Woo-jin estimated that the maximum amount of time the people here could fight at their optimal conditions was only 2 days .
And 2 days could only be guaranteed if the opponents the players faced were not too difficult for them to handle .
“There!”
Suddenly, someone shouted, pulling Kim Woo-jin out of his thoughts .
“There’s something over there . ”
Everyone turned to look toward where the person was pointing .
Then, a giant fox about 5 meters long and covered in flames, appeared before their eyes .
No one reacted to the unexpected appearance of the Firefox . Similarly, when the Firefox noticed the 100 players before it, it didn’t move .
It was as if time had stopped .
[Horus’ Eye has opened . ]
Only Kim Woo-jin tried to understand and analyze the current situation they were in .
The Firefox’s information appeared in front of Kim Woo-jin’s golden eyes .
His eyes swept across the Firefox’s body before settling on one of its tails that was glowing brightly .
[The Nine-Tailed Fox’s Third Tail]

‘The Third Tail . ’
The Tails of the Nine-tailed Fox was a group of nine items which had never been completed, not even before Kim Woo-jin had returned .
Therefore, he had no idea what effect it would have if all nine tails were collected .
The obvious thing was that they were incredibly rare and hard to collect, so their power could go without saying .
‘There is nothing better than blinding . ’
Even then, the effect of the Third Tail was more than enough for a legendary item .
‘I need to get it somehow . ’
Kim Woo-jin’s eyes were glowing .
Then, the eyes of the Firefox and Kim Woo-jin met, following which the fox’s eyes changed .
Until then, no matter how you looked at it, to the Firefox, the eyes of the players were that of prey . In them was nothing but fear, surprise or worry, without daring to harbor any hostility or murderous intent toward it .
However, Kim Woo-jin looked at the Firefox as if it was a prey .
This was enough to ignite the fighting instincts within the fox .
‘It’s coming . ’
Kim Woo-jin noticed immediately that the fox had switched from it’s inquisitive mode into a hunting mode .
His prediction soon became a reality .
Hoooh!
The Firefox made a bizarre sound as it pounced toward the 100 players . It’s speed was fast, appearing to be even faster than a bullet .
“Huk!”
It was too sudden!
By the time the first victim noticed the Firefox’s approach, it was already biting into their shoulder . The people around them were not even fast enough to recognize what happened much less to respond to it .
“Kuuaak!”
Eventually, the player whose shoulder was bitten by the fox let out a loud shout .
Chiiik!
The players could feel the great heat even in the current hot environment and a greasy smell, like cooked meat drifted into their noses .
A chill went up their spines .

The fear moved them .
“Tanks!”
The players were shocked by the sudden situation but they were already prepared to lose their lives in the battle against the Firefox anyway .
“Stop it!”
If they were afraid and were going to hesitate before they even tried to fight, then they wouldn’t be there in the first place .
“Huoh!”
“Huoh!”
Tanks who seemed to be wearing armor with fire resistance, rushed toward the Firefox while shouting to showcase their fighting spirit .
Of course, they rushed in after ensuring that their fire resistance was as high as it could be .
Each of them had items that increased their fire resistance as well as buffs that increased resistance .
‘We just have to hold out . ’
‘We’ll take turns dealing with it . ’
Furthermore they were prepared to deal with the firefox sequentially .
‘Then we can at least get some casting time . ’
During this time, the mages also casted their magic at the Firefox .
But it didn’t take them very long to realize that it wasn’t very effective .
“This monstrous bastard . ”
The moment a tank charged toward the fox and made contact with its flames…
[The powers of an unknown and powerful being gives you darkness . ]
“Huh?”
Those nearby clearly noticed the darkness that covered his eyes before he became the second victim of the fox .
‘What the?’
‘So suddenly?’
They realised that there was more to the Firefox than they’d initially thought and so they had to change their plans .
Of course, it wasn’t that easy .
‘What do we do?’
No one had an idea as to how they should progress . This situation was expected since the group had no information, and no experience dealing with the Firefox .
Ppiiii!
Suddenly an ear piercing whistle spread through the battlefield .
Ppiiii!
The whistle sounded again .
Ppiiii!
Soon after the players heard the third whistle, they began to move .
‘Retreat signal!’
When they heard the whistle three times, the players all scattered without looking back .
‘They all scattered!’
No one hesitated when they heard the previously agreed upon signal .

Prioritizing the agreed signals was something that any player who survived till the second floor could understand .
‘Let’s run for it!’
It was a time when a retreat was necessary so naturally everyone ran away as fast as they could .
There was only one person who interpreted the signal differently .
“Spasiba!”
The moment he heard the signal, Lee Jin-ah charged toward the fox with all his might .
This move was completely unexpected . No, it would be strange if anyone could see it coming .
“Run away!”
“Don’t hesitate to run!”
The moment the retreat signal sounded, everyone ran wildly across the desert sand without looking back . 1
No one looked back and even if they did, they would only think that Lee Jin-ah misinterpreted the signal .
The sacrifice of the rest of the group to save one was the greatest taboo during group activities like this one .
Of course, the Firefox wouldn’t reject such a situation .
Hoooh!
It willingly watched as Lee Jin-ah rushed toward it .
Soon the distance between them was very small and the Firefox opened its mouth wide to welcome Lee Jin-ah .
However, Lee Jin-ah wrapped his arm around its neck as if holding it in a headlock .
At that moment Lee Jin-ah’s eyes shook as the pain of being burned alive, which was one of the greatest pains a human could suffer, spread through his entire body .
“Kuuuuh!”
The fact that he didn’t scream was a surprise in itself .
But that wasn’t the end .
Hoo! Hoo!
The Firefox that was caught by its neck obviously struggled so the pain Lee Jin-ah felt also increased .
Nevertheless, Lee Jin-ah did not let go of the fox in his arms .
Lee Jin-ah held on for dear life . He gave his all as he kept repeating his goal in his head .
‘I will hold on for 6 seconds and eat Hokkaido Snow Crab!’
1 second then 2 seconds…by the time 3 seconds passed, Kim Woo-jin finally appeared .
In his hands was a 2 meter long black spear that had sunlight reflecting off of its neck .
In this state, Kim Woo-jin rushed across the desert .
Eventually, Kim Woo-jin thrust the tip of the spear into the mouth of the Firefox that was desperately trying to escape from Lee Jin-ah’s grasp .
Puk!
The spear went in so deep that the fox was not even able to scream .
Soon however, the spear began to melt .
The heat from the Firefox’s body melted the spear that had pierced its mouth in no time .
Naturally, this wasn’t enough to kill the fox .
Instead of dying, it stared at Kim Woo-jin with eyes that promised murder .
However, Kim Woo-jin was not surprised or scared and he simply gave an order .
“Let it go!”
The instant Lee Jin-ah let go of the fox’s neck, Kim Woo-jin grabbed him and retreated .
“Kuuuh!”
As he hung on Kim Woo-jin’s shoulder, Lee Jin-ah couldn’t help but let out a moan .
“How many seconds?”
Kim Woo-jin answered with a smile .
“5 . 99 seconds . ”
“Re-, really?”
Kim Woo-jin only responded to him briefly .
“Good job . ”
“No, was it really 5 . 99? Are you sure it’s not 59 seconds?”
At that moment, a notification sounded in Kim Woo-jin’s ear .
[The Firefox has been afflicted by Black Blood . ]
[The Firefox’s health has been greatly reduced . ]
[The Firefox’s attack has been greatly reduced . ]
[The Firefox’s defense has been greatly reduced . ]
[The Firefox has been poisoned by deadly poisons and its vitality is rapidly reducing . ]
This was the result after the Firefox consumed the blood of 3000 monsters as well as the black blood formed by condensing the blood poison .
‘This should reduce the Firefox’s abilities to less than half its usual . ’
Of course, this still wouldn’t kill the Firefox immediately .
Rattle!2
So the moment he received the notifications, the skeletons that Kim Woo-jin had already summoned all began to charge toward the injured fox .
At the same time, Kim Woo-jin threw Lee Jin-ah onto the desert sand .
‘It ends here . ’
“Book of the Dead!”
Then immediately summoned a large book .
After Kim Woo-jin opened the book, the slabs that filled the inside were taken out and destroyed .
[The pages of the Book of the Dead have been destroyed . ]
The fragments of the destroyed slabs soon mingled together and transformed into Skeleton Soldiers in white armor .
Ten Skeleton Soldiers who had been prepared specifically for this stage had finally made their appearance and started running towards the Firefox without hesitation .
Lee Jin-ah who saw this sight could not stop himself from commenting .
“I now know the power of money…”
Kim Woo-jin raised an eyebrow at this .
‘He has more vitality than I expected . ’
He considered if he should push him more in battle .
Meanwhile a great fight had begun .
