Chapter 348
Chapter 348

Hyeonu lowered his head momentarily to avoid the blood wolf’s attacks .  Simultaneously, he pivoted on his left foot and swung the Mysterious Sky Sword . The blood wolf who was trying to bite Hyeonu’s head was sliced in two at the waist .

 

[The blood wolf has been defeated . ]

[Experience has been acquired . ]

 

There was no time for Hyeonu to rest . Immediately after, another blood wolf struck at Hyeonu .

‘Ah, good . ’

Hyeonu was actually happy with this situation though .  If the monsters attacked him, the battle would end early, and he wouldn’t need to worry about the others .

“Master dude! Here I go!” Tang-E’s shout was heard from behind Hyeonu .  Then a bright flash of light burst out .  It was a much brighter light than when Tang-E appeared .

“Tang-E!!” Hyeonu yelled .  Naturally, his eyes were now closed .  Hyeonu’s eyes that had adapted to the darkness couldn’t withstand this light, but it was the same for the blood wolves .  No, it was even worse .  For them, the only light they were used to seeing was the moonlight .

“Yiip!” A dog’s bark emerged from the blood wolf’s mouth . These cries burst out again before even three seconds passed .  It was because the blue lightning spear, which Tang-E had created, pierced the blood wolf’s body .

“Yelp!” 

Then Hyeonu slashed at the blood wolf whose current appearance was like that of a pig on a skewer .

 

[The blood wolf has been defeated . ]

[Experience has been acquired . ]

 

Once Tang-E joined in the battle, the blood wolves started to split up .  Some of the surviving ones ran frantically toward Tang-E and the Pioneer Guild .  It was the result of the aggro being divided .  Hyeonu thought, ‘I need to help . . . No . ’

Ket and Jewel had already taken on a formation and were blocking the blood wolves .  It would’ve been dangerous if the black bats had also been there, but they were lying on the ground after being affected by Mysterious Sky Range .  Seeing that, Hyeonu no longer paid attention to the Pioneer Guild and Tang-E . After all, there were still four blood wolves in front of him .

“Human, isn’t this too weak? Your bodies are sluggish, and your minds are dull . If you can’t react, shouldn’t you predict it?” Tang-E aimed spiteful words at Ket and Jewel while sitting comfortably on Maha’s shoulder .

It was an amazing move to lower the morale of his allies .

“Tsk, tsk .  If it were Master dude, he would’ve cut at the legs and separated the waist to make the ground wet with blood . ”

Maha’s face was frozen due to Tang-E’s continuous words .  He told Tang-E, “Why don’t you stop now? They are working hard in their own way . It is pitiful compared to Alley Leader, but . . . ”

However, upon a closer look, it was clear that Maha’s mouth was twitching .  He was trying not to laugh .

“That jerk?” Jewel noticed it and gritted his teeth .  There was nothing he could do about Maha when he still had to stop the three blood wolves .  Jewel just had to continue gritting his teeth while defeating the blood wolves aiming for him .

“So I will help . I was taught to help the weak . ” Tang-E placed a bead on Maha’s head and grabbed it with his front paws .  Then he injected magic power into the bead and cast some magic .  In the air, a smooth bead the size of Tang-E’s paws appeared .  Looking up close, the surface of the bead had the carving of a fire pattern .

The blue bead headed toward the blood wolf in a chilling manner .  Unsurprisingly, the blood wolf moved from side to side to try and avoid the blue bead, but Ket and Jewel restrained it .  They swung their weapons to limit the blood wolf’s movements .

Tang-E’s delicate magic power control shone here, and the blue bead landed precisely on the blood wolf’s back .  The bead broke, and a blue fire was transferred to the blood wolf’s fur, burning it quickly . The blood wolf’s body was used as fuel to light up the dark world .

“Kuoong! Kuoong!” The dog with its tail on fire—no, the wolf ran around .

After a moment, the wolf changed its strategy when it noticed the fire wouldn’t go out no matter how it ran .  It started to roll around on the dark grass .  Unfortunately for the wolf, this choice was the worst option .

“Bah, it’s nothing big,” Tang-E remarked .  Immediately after, Tang-E’s bead once again emitted light, and little blue ice cones appeared in the air .  They immediately aimed at the fallen blood wolf, piercing all over its body .

Water vapor instantly covered the blood wolf’s body and then disappeared after a while . The blood wolf could no longer move .  It was dead .

 

[The blood wolf has been defeated . ]

[Experience has been acquired . ]

 

Maha laughed at the message that appeared in front of his eyes and thought, ‘Does this make sense?’

Tang-E seemed stronger than Asu .  Alley Leader was a monster . His pet was also a monster .

‘Maybe he can hunt alone . . . ’

Maha got a shock that was different from when he saw it in a video .

“Master dude seems to have finished hunting . Let’s go to Master dude . ” When Tang-E spoke, Maha regained his senses and pulled from his amazement .

“I understand,” Maha said and walked toward Hyeonu with Tang-E on his shoulders .

Since then, more than 10 large-scale battles took place . The scale of the battles continued to increase as they got closer to the place covered in fog .

“Wow, I can see it now,” Hyeonu murmured in a happy voice .

Just like Hyeonu said, the party could now finally see the object shrouded in fog . It was a huge castle with walls that rose without an end and a pointed roof of the castle that went beyond them .

“It’s like a demon king’s castle? It is grand in size,” Nix remarked .  

Hyeonu agreed .  The castle was very much like a demon king’s palace . Even if it wasn’t to that extent, it seemed the boss monster would be a pretty gloomy monster .

‘A demon king hasn’t emerged yet . . . So it can’t appear here . What is it?’

Hyeonu couldn’t make any guesses as to what it could be . When it came to dungeons, there was no issue more serious than what would emerge as the boss monster .

“The castle is so big . . . Won’t it take a while to get to the boss room?” Asu sighed .

The castle was huge .  The silhouette they saw through the fog gave them a rough outline of its vastness .

“Isn’t the castle alone the size of an instance dungeon?” Hyeonu added to Asu’s sigh . Fortunately, nothing prevented them from entering through the gates .

“The gates are open,” Hyeonu stated .

The castle gates were completely open as if to greet the party .  Hyeonu took the lead and held a brightly lit torch in his hand .  Just after the previous battle ended, he remembered there was a torch in his inventory and had been carrying it since then . The moment they entered the castle through the gates, they could see the true identity of South Rock .

“Bloodsuckers . ”

“Vampires . ”

There were coffins placed all throughout the castle .  As for which type of monsters might be in these coffins, that was obvious—the undead and vampires . However, the presence of the blood wolves and black bats outside the castle erased the option of the undead .

‘What a profit this is turning out to be!’

Hyeonu felt his mind awaken the moment he entered the castle . It was because seeing the coffins all over the castle made him remember a title he had .

 

[Viscount Vampire Killer]

[A title given to adventurers who kill a noble of the night, a vampire . The title will grow when hunting high-class vampires .

Effect: All stats +50, attack power against vampires will increase by 5% . ]

 

‘Is today the day when I can upgrade my title?’

This was a great opportunity .  Just this alone made clearing the dungeon with the Pioneer Guild rewarding for Hyeonu . It wasn’t a bad idea after all to waste this day on a dungeon hunt .

“From now on, Maha’s role will be important . Even if the boss isn’t a vampire, the other undead . . . Divine magic is very powerful against it . ” Hyeonu looked at Maha who still had Tang-E on this shoulder .

Maha nodded with a confused expression at Hyeonu’s sudden words .

“Tang-E, stop it and come down . You’re burdening him,” Hyeonu spoke to Tang-E after seeing Maha’s expression .

“Understood, Master dude . ” Tang-E jumped off Maha’s shoulder and landed quietly without making a single sound .  Then he approached Hyeonu and poked him in the thigh .  Hyeonu bent over and leaned his upper body forward .  The golden bear quickly climbed up Hyeonu’s body and landed on his shoulder .

“Let’s go, Master dude . ” Tang-E placed his chin on the top of Hyeonu’s head . It seemed that Tang-E just changed his means of transportation to something a bit more comfortable .

The castle was quiet .

It was the opposite of outside the castle where many monsters had attacked the party .  In fact, it was completely contradictory .  Even the word ‘peace’ went well with it .  Hyeonu and the Pioneer Guild walked along a long corridor . No monsters had emerged so far, but the party couldn’t relax as they didn’t know when and where monsters might pop out .

“I can’t adapt . ”

“It’s more disturbing because of the mood, right?”

Nix and Jewel complained about their anxiety due to the environment that had changed so rapidly .  They were much more comfortable with fighting continuous battles .  It was too nerve-racking not knowing when they would be hit .

“There is a possibility that this entire castle is a boss room, so don’t worry much . In addition, how many can there even appear in this castle?” Hyeonu spoke comfortable words . He was really relaxed and even playing with Tang-E on his shoulder .

“Believe in me,” Tang-E spoke while bouncing a bead on Hyeonu’s head .

Upon getting hit by Tang-E, Hyeonu knocked on the back of Tang-E’s head with the hand that wasn’t holding a torch . After Hyeonu hit once, a vague shadow appeared and struck Tang-E on the back of the head a second time .

“Damn, Master dude . I hit once yet you hit me two times . It is a foul!!”

There was no sign of trust be at all between them .

“If you hit once, you need to be prepared for two hits, Tang-E . The world is tough . ” Hyeonu tapped Tang-E on the back of the head once more .  Tang-E felt a tingling pain and heat from the back of his head .

“Ouch . . . Damn Master!!!” Tang-E got rid of the bead and started to hit Hyeonu’s head with the thick pads of his paws . Hyeonu just ignored Tang-E’s actions .  It wasn’t a lot of pain, and it was enough to just play around with Tang-E .

‘I hope nothing appears until the real boss’ room,’ Hyeonu inwardly made a weak wish, and this wish became reality .

Nothing appeared as they reached the end of the long corridor .  The closed coffins didn’t open, and people didn’t appear . They could arrive peacefully at the door at the end of the corridor .

“Is this the last one?” Ket prayed while pushing open the door .
