Chapter 183

The dungeon was a completely different world: a living and breathing world by itself, with no compartmentalization. Jung Si-woo slowly looked around at sight and sighed deeply.

“Do players in the sky always play in these dungeons?”

“Of course not. It’s quite different from an Ant Cave in one way or another, but this vast dungeon…”

Then Caina cut Soo Ah-rin off, turning to Jung Si-woo.

[I can feel the spirit of battle. Master, do you detect it?]

“Yes, I was just about to check the location.”

The dungeon was larger than he thought, so it took a little time to find out where the Marina group was, but it was fortunate that the Dragon’s sense of control could cover it again with the Chaos Wing.

“I think this is bigger than Korea.”

[Amazingly, the Crescent Age is this big.]

“I’m sorry, but I’ll head off first.”

Jung Si-woo greatly expanded the wings, which had been compressed to the right size. The wings were filled with the Mana of the wind attributes obtained from Pruta, making them an excellent weapon. They were so sharp that he could get rid of everything that got in the way without having to move his hand an inch!

“Humph!”

Jung Si-woo launched his high-speed flight. Caina also deftly piloted the bike after him while Soo Ah-rin, who hadn’t yet adapted to this speed, grabbed Caina with a groan.

“Why is he so good with his wings as soon as he becomes a player…”

[Isn’t the boldness of using wings as a weapon greater than flying?]

Jung Si-woo’s flight, which was pushing him straight toward his destination, wasn’t even beautiful in empty words. It was bold, straightforward, and violent. For him, it may be a little difficult to fly in a delicate and beautiful curve. But if you look at him now, you would realize how foolish it was to ask him to do that.

[Hahaha.]

[Intrusion…Ahh!]

“Just now, monsters…I think there was some.”

[The Master is giving off his energy and pulling it on himself just before him. Moreover, with the mana drain, monsters can’t leave their energy intact. As a result, they jump directly into death like that, and they fall apart.]

Jung Si-woo was just racing in a straight line, and many monsters flying to him hit his wings and fell off in disarray. The lucky ones immediately died or disappeared, turning into beads, and the unlucky ones faced a more painful death by insisting on a second collision. Nothing could stand in his way, so he didn’t even have to slow down or turn around. That was why his flying skills were already complete, in a sense.

“Well, it’s possible…?”

The Sky Castle players could only confront Dungeon monsters using flight, but she never thought flying would solve everything. She couldn’t help but wonder what other players had tried so far.

[A dragon’s wings are as important a source of Mana as the heart. The Master has now made his wings something infinitely close to the wind, enabling an infinitely faster and sharper attack while at the same time gaining momentum.]

“Sorry, I appreciate your explanation, but I have no idea…”

[I knew that would happen anyway, so it’s okay.]

Caina could only assume that the power of the wind was involved when she saw the monsters being ground up in the instant when they collided with Jung Si-woo. She was confident that she wouldn’t be surprised if she dealt with the enemy at an invisible speed.

‘He’s already strong, but it’s accelerating at an increasing pace. It’s a mockery of the history that all beings have experienced and polished throughout the world.’

I’m glad he’s not the enemy; thinking so, Caina’s eyes widened. Jung Si-woo’s speed was only picking up, and the distance gap gradually widened even though she was pushing the bike to its limits. Still, as a self-described knight, she would lose face if she lagged behind her Master. Caina used all of her sprint skills to boost her forward. Only Soo Ah-rin would be left dead last!

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.”

[Cheer up, Soo Ah-rin. We’re about to arrive!]

Caina and Soo Ah-rin, who were chasing after him, were provoking their enemy when Jung Si-woo suddenly realized that there were many monsters in the air. Marina and her party could be felt in the mix.

‘That’s weird.’

He thought so instinctively. Now, even though Jung Si-woo himself was dragging down the monsters as much as possible by Mana Drain, the number coming to him was only a small part of the dungeon. Now, however, there were more than a dozen elite monsters in the air. It was no exaggeration to say that it was more than half the dungeon’s power if one included ordinary monsters.

“The people in charge of the party’s tanking couldn’t have deliberately drawn a number as big as me.”

So the monsters inside the dungeon first detected the group and flocked to them? There were only a few rankers in that party who couldn’t have acted so poorly. It had to be said that something was wrong with the dungeon’s expansion.

‘I think a few of them just retired…’

Then Mana exploded out from a gap in the crushed sphere of monsters: it was Marina’s. She was also gallantly struggling against the monsters around level 300.

“Ha!”

Without further hesitation, Jung Si-woo spread his wings and soared forward. Noticing his sudden approach, the monsters on the outside of the sphere, rather than thinking of avoiding it, turned to him one by one with a snort.

Well, no matter how strong a player was, it was silly to rush into a cluster of tens of thousands of monsters. Attracting a small number of monsters and dealing with them with a large number of players, that was the basis of the dungeon attack recognized by the players and the human way that the monsters understood.

“Humph!”

[What!?]

For Jung Si-woo, of course, a dungeon attack meant always speeding up and sweeping away as many monsters as possible. It was no exception even in the current situation, with difficulty soaring to 38 levels and the majority of monsters above 280.

“It’s a big hit!”

His actions following the rush were as natural and quick as water. Jung Si-woo, who flew in without slowing down the speed as he brandished Punishment, easily made the hammer the largest possible size for him now. It swept away the monsters on the outer layer.

[Ahhhhhh!]

[Out, get out of the way! It’s not human!]

[It’s a dragon!]

The hammer swept through the air with dark blue sparks. Jung Si-woo crushed them, ignoring countless flying monsters tried to activate in retaliation. Those who were beaten head-on died neatly, and even the monsters who were slightly out of the way lost their strength and crashed. The effects of the striking transfer rippled through the nearby monsters! Thousands of monsters were incapacitated in a single attack, frightening the survivors.

[Koooooo! Something’s wrong with this world!]

[Maybe Pruta was wrong about something! That’s not a force worthy of the Crescent Age!]

“Oh, that’s a lovely name.”

Of course, Jung Si-woo knew very well that it was Pretty who was involved in the dungeon. He couldn’t laugh because his friends were trapped in the dungeon, yet he was able to enter the dungeon because of his power.

[What kind of henchman are you? He’s the spy of another god lurking among men!]

[Is it Hecto by any chance…? No, I think I can feel Pruta’s strength from it…]

Monsters talked nonsense in panic. The disturbance was rightly brought to the colony’s interior, where the watertight siege of the monsters was slipping.

[Who the hell is disturbing us? …Well? Well, that man…]

It was then that an elite monster, who was leading the external monsters, appeared. A monster with wings swinging so fast on his back to match the name of the dungeon called hummingbird paradise, and dozens of beaks rattling around his body covered with flashing feathers! Jung Si-woo perfectly identified the creature cluster as soon as he saw him.

‘It’s not just a bunch of monsters. With some of the central elites, the monsters are concentrating their Mana, increasing the power of the group and making it more solid. That in itself has already completed a magic circle.’

And they could shoot that magic in the other direction. Maybe he was trying to use the manna formed by the power of the group for the ritual? It was somewhat familiar to the human brainwashing, or mutations, by divine power, seen on the battlefield of this world before. Either way, it was unpleasant.

[You…are you a human being? How can such strong power be in the human body? All defend the Magic Circle!]

[Ha….we will face death here.]

[Lord Pruta, take us back!]

‘As expected, ordinary monsters protect the elite…the downside to that magic crew is that the elite monster in the role isn’t able to move actively, and eventually it loses power and dissolves when it’s breached.’

[Master!]

By the time Jung Si-woo picked up the hammer again, the Phantom Bike with Caina had caught up with him. It was impressive to see she was also expecting a battle, already holding her weapon atop the bike.

“Caina, I’m going to get through him. Make way.”

[How easy it is to say…okay, follow me right away]

None of the monsters that make up that colony would be taken lightly. In other words, it was a miracle that Jung Si-woo neutralized thousands of animals with a single hammer in the first place. But Caina grunted and obediently raised the bayonet to aim ahead. He glowered at the monsters moving around him, not unlike the elite chimeras with strange looks he faced before.

[Soo Ah-rin, I need a shield. Looks like it’s hard to get through.]

“I was getting ready.”

[Alright, now!]

Soo Ah-rin’s shield magic was activated at the very moment, and Caina rushed ahead of Jung Si-woo!

[Stop it!]

The elite monsters raised their voices and controlled the monsters. Some of the clusters, which formed a similar sphere to the circle, transformed according to the elite’s order and poured down toward Caina, giving her a sense of pressure as if a tidal wave were coming in. She simply smirked as she lifted her blade.

It was glowing brightly with Soo Ah-rin’s blessings empowering it.

[It is the power of the commander of the army directly appointed by the Master. I’ll show you!]

Caina didn’t have the power to wipe out all her enemies with a huge weapon or have healing power like Soo Ah-rin. However, as a knight for countless years, there was a glimpse of the swordsmanship that was honed and the charge exercised over the years.

[Whoops!]

Her dash skills were displayed, and she and the Phantom Bike were wrapped in black. She was like a dark comet streaking through the sky! The bike sped up and faced the monster’s tidal wave head-on. The shining light of the Holy Sword, which she stretched forward, split the monster pack in half like Moses cutting through the Red Sea!

[Whoops!]

“Humph!”

Caina, who faced terrible pressure every moment but continued to speed up, and Jung Si-woo followed her with his wings wide open! The hammer in his hands returned to its original form, condensing all the Mana he radiated as he waited for a moment of terrible destructive power.

[Master, it’s too much. I’m stepping back!]

“That’s enough!”

When the monster’s tidal wave was about three-quarters through, Caina’s strength and Soo Ah-rin’s shield came into effect, but their purpose was almost complete. Jung Si-woo sprinted past Caina, who was backing down weakly. The rest of the guys didn’t have to be hammered, as the wind power from his wings was enough to tear them apart.

[Hmph, with the power of two…!]

Thanks to Caina, he easily broke through the remaining group of monsters, and there before him was an elite monster acting as the outer core of the cluster.

Was it the last step? The beaks that rose from all over his body opened wide and fired gas made by the condensed wind, but even with that destructive power, Jung Si-woo couldn’t be delayed for a moment. He brought the Cruel Charge trajectory to completion as he swung his hammer.

[Synthetic skill, learned Chaos Cruel Charge (Active). Chaos Cruel Charge skill became Lv5]

[Kaaaaaaaaaaaahh!]

The moment the nickname of his lethal move evolved from C2 to C3.

The Elite monsters were beaten by his hammer, disappearing without a trace.
