Episode 146:
The Guangzhou laboratory becomes a dungeon.
Taehyun exhaled at the exit gate.
“Is it over?”
Slurp.
Just a moment ago, Venom was going berserk and engaging in a power struggle.
The body completely melted.
In the end, it was unable to find a new host.
Normally, it wouldn’t die if its host body disappeared.
There were no magic stones or any signs of survival in the melted body.
Only then did Taehyun release the predation surrounding his body.
‘It’s almost time to show up.’
After a while.
The message I was waiting for came to mind.
Tiring.
[I have devoured a huge amount of magical power. Magic power has increased by 1.]
[A huge amount of magic power has been consumed. Stamina has increased by 1.]
[A huge amount of magical energy has been consumed. Strength has increased by 1.]
[A huge amount of magical energy has been consumed. Speed has increased by 1.]
[A huge amount of magical energy has been consumed. Magic power has increased by 1.]
….
Taehyun smiled in satisfaction at the message that constantly came to mind.
Everything was as expected.
“Stupid.”
Venom of gray disease.
Although it is a difficult opponent for Taehyun, who is not in normal condition.
This was not the case for Taehyun, another person in the world of images.
It is unclear how the person was infected.
But I thought the guy in the image world wouldn’t stay still.
As expected, Venom was preyed upon by another Taehyun.
“I can’t even think about this…”
I defeated Venom.
Because it was unplanned, all I could do was laugh out loud.
The reason I won the friendly competition was to gain ownership of an unexplored dungeon.
Although ownership was not recognized for unexpected reasons.
However, it wasn’t a place that could be targeted like this.
‘If this is the case, do I have to advance my other plans as well?’
From the Beomjinsa Dungeon in Japan to the Guangzhou Dungeon in China.
My plan to attack over a certain period of time went awry little by little, and I ended up capturing both dungeon bosses.
‘I don’t know how much the future will change.’
The future is about not knowing how even small changes in the past will work.
However, Taehyun’s actions after returning are shocking in themselves.
‘Well, what’s good is good.’
Taehyun, who had quickly finished rationalizing, was about to look at the status window.
dddddddddd.
The laboratory began to shake.
The break began when the dungeon boss, Venom, died.
‘this. There must be some left that we haven’t dealt with yet.’
Normally, the boss monster would be at the end of the dungeon.
The standard strategy is to deal with the resident monsters one by one and catch the boss at the end.
However, the order was reversed due to the strange phenomenon of dungeon expansion and the variable of Chairman Jeongz.
If the break continued like this, it was clear that the remaining monsters would go out together.
However, Taehyun did not have enough time and magic power to deal with them all.
‘I can only hope that there is a decent force gathered outside.’
Thinking so.
Taehyun crossed the unstable gate.
* * *
About ten minutes before Taehyun’s match with Venom.
There was a player who secretly infiltrated the Guangzhou research laboratory site where a blocking order had been issued.
A large, muscular black man.
It was Montel Jackson, America’s national power player and top ranker.
“I can’t see a single person.”
Behind the standing rock.
While examining the Guangzhou research center, he lowered the telescope and muttered.
Although I arrived despite the attention of those around me due to the emergency order from the president of the association.
Without party members or supporters, there wasn’t much he could do.
‘Tsk. I’m sure this doesn’t mean you should go into an unexplored dungeon alone.’
He had one command.
To safely secure the safety of Ricky Harlis.
It may seem easy at first glance, but considering that the place is an unexplored dungeon, it is not.
“Why are you putting this woman through so much trouble because I can’t contact her?”
Montel Jackson grumbled and rummaged through his bag.
Slowly. Slowly.
This is a bag I roughly packed and brought with me under an emergency order.
It was inevitable that various potions and scrolls were mixed up.
After a while, he found the scroll he wanted.
“Hmm… it was good.”
Wow.
When I tore the scroll, the registered skill was activated.
Grade A skill ‘Detect Human’.
It was a skill mainly used to find people at disaster sites.
He scattered the green magic power of Ricky Harlis that had been given to him in the air.
As if fluttering in the wind, green magical energy headed toward the Guangzhou research center.
“this. “Is it really inside?”
He frowned.
This is because you will have to enter the lab, which has become a dungeon, by yourself.
The gray magic power gently blooming around the laboratory building was giving off an unusual aura.
The first dungeon expansion.
The title of ‘first’ always brings risks due to unexpected variables.
Normally, it would be crowded with dispatched players, but the area around the dungeon was quiet without a single barking dog.
This was an opportunity to see once again how well China was controlling things.
‘Anyway, it’s a great country in a strange way.’
Before coming here, he was keeping an eye on research institutes established in various parts of China under the orders of the association.
China’s S-class awakenings are rapidly increasing recently.
This is because strange intelligence has been received regarding them.
He moved quietly and defeated several S-class mines and players to obtain clues.
Afterwards, Chairman Kevin Lee was informed that the ‘Demonization Project’ was in progress at the Guangzhou Research Institute, and Ricky Hallis was dispatched to confirm the authenticity of the information.
‘I’ll have to hear from her for more details… but if it’s true, it’s the end of China as well.’
China has recently had a bad image due to inhumane acts.
If this fact were to be known, it would not simply end with the powers descending from the powers.
As Chairman Kevin Lee said, I did not know that the center of Asia was becoming a new Korea.
That was when I was thinking about that.
“…!!”
Far away.
A woman was seen falling through a gate that appeared in the air.
A face in familiar clothes.
It was Ricky Harlis, who President Kevin Lee had insisted on securing.
Ta-tat.
Montel Jackson leapt to where she had fallen in an instant.
“hey. Wake.”
He took out a top-quality healing scroll and potion from his bag and used it on her.
Next, fatigue potions and magic potions were poured without hesitation.
Soon she regained consciousness.
“Montel… Jackson…?”
“Luckily, I recognize your face.”
“This place… Ugh…”
She moaned as she tried to get up.
It was because of the pain I felt in my chest.
“Don’t move yet. “For a woman of your size to be slandered like this… What on earth happened?”
“….”
At Montel Jackson’s question, she looked around.
I saw the Guangzhou Research Institute in front of me, radiating gray magic.
“Could it be… that I escaped alone?”
“What are you talking about? “Were there any party members?”
She shook her head in response to Montel Jackson’s question.
“Kim Tae-hyun… he hasn’t come out yet….”
“Kim Tae-hyun? “New Korea’s national power level?”
Nod.
Montel Jackson looked at her helplessly answering her question.
“Explain what happened.”
From Beijing to Guangzhou.
She relayed what she had seen and heard over a short period of time.
Montel Jackson, who heard the whole story, cursed.
“These crazy guys. “You did this.”
“This is not the time… Taehyun Kim. “We have to go save that guy.”
“hey. “Why are you like this?”
“what?”
“If what you said is true, it’s that monster called Venom. “It means that it is a monster not only in its infection ability but also in its physical strength.”
“….”
“It’s already wrong. “It doesn’t mean you haven’t gotten out yet…”
“Stop.”
Ricky Harlis stood up and interrupted him.
“hey. “If we don’t move yet…”
“I’m the type of person who can’t live without debt.”
“….”
“I have to go back in.”
“Fuck.”
Looking at her stubbornness, Montel Jackson cursed.
Be that as it may, the pale-faced woman was serious.
The wounds and magical power reflux from the demonized head of the Association.
It was dangerous if he was not seen by a top-level healer even a little sooner.
Even though she, who is called the best magician, doesn’t know.
You are being unreasonably stubborn.
Montel Jackson put his hand on her shoulder.
“Look, my job is to make sure you’re safe. “If you’re going to act on your own any longer, there’s nothing I can do about it, right?”
Quaaaaa.
Magical power surged from Montel Jackson’s body.
It meant that he would subdue her and take her away, even by force.
“This ignorant bigot…”
Ricky Harlis frowned and tried to resist.
Coo coo coo coo coo coo.
Drudduddudduk.
The Guangzhou research center and the entire area began to shake.
“What is happening again all of a sudden?”
“No way… brake?”
Two national power plants dropped out of the research center at the same time.
There were two cases where dungeons created on Earth broke.
One is when a monster that has become too strong for the dungeon to handle breaks on its own.
Another case is when the boss monster, which is the core of the dungeon, dies and breaks.
The two thought of the former.
This is because it is impossible for an individual to conquer a dungeon of this level.
Montel Jackson activated his skill ‘Genocide Bullet’.
Jiing. Jiing. Jiyiing.
Dozens of mortars and missile launchers were implemented around the area.
Before I knew it, I had a Gatling gun in my hand.
“You stay back.”
Montel Jackson said, blocking her path.
I had no intention of coming here and failing my mission.
“….”
She no longer insisted and obediently stepped back.
‘Kim Tae-hyun… what happened? ‘If you have that skill, you can win…’
When you think like that.
A new gate opened in the air.
A man jumped from there.
It was Taehyun who was completely devastated.
“…!!”
“you…!!”
Before the two surprised people could react.
“Is this all there is to support?”
Taehyun played with a disappointed expression.
“Hey… what happened to you…”
Montel Jackson couldn’t finish his sentence.
Coooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much
A bigger tremor than before shook the ground.
It was an unmistakable sign of a break.
Taehyun nodded as if he knew what he wanted to say.
“That’s a good thing. “You are the player who came as support.”
“Hey kid. “Please explain clearly what the situation is.”
Montel Jackson growled.
Taehyun saw Montel Jackson’s bag.
“It’s simple. “Venom is dead.”
“…!!”
“what…?”
“Soon the surviving monsters will rush out.”
“What kind of nonsense is that…”
Taehyun rummaged through his bag, ignoring his confusion.
Magic potion. Fatigue potion. Healing potion.
gulp. gulp.
Even though potions worth hundreds of millions of won were being used without permission, no one stopped them.
“Whew… I guess I’ll buy it now.”
“….”
“….”
“Then. Shall we hunt the small fish?”
At the same time as saying that.
A broken dungeon.
Demonic spirits poured out of the Guangzhou laboratory.
