Chapter 20 Deal (1) (1/2)
Now that he had no reason to stay in the dungeon any longer, Yeon-woo left the dungeon accompanied by Kahn and Doyle.
“Well, here comes the god damn Heavyweight Water again.”
Kahn had disgusted expression as he glanced towards the pond. Like Yeon-woo, he had also chosen the Black Route and had experienced difficulties when crossing through it.
High in density, devoid of buoyancy, strong water pressure that restrained the body’s movements, and the pond was also filled with of aquatic monsters. Just by thinking of passing through the pond got his back up.
At the same time, Kahn was curious about how Yeon-woo would pass this ordeal. Inside the dungeon, he had only seen hints of Yeon-woo’s skills. So this was the first time he would actually see his abilities. He would decide whether to seek additional members or not, based on Yeon-woo’s capability or potential growth.
But then,
‘Huh?’
Yeon-woo was walking towards the pond without any preparation.
“Hey, dude!”
“What is it?”

Yeon-woo glanced over Kahn asking what was wrong.
“Don’t tell me you’re thinking of jumping straight in. I mean, you haven’t made any preparation.”
“Do you have a problem with that?”
“Bro, you’re gonna get yourself into a big tro…!”
But Yeon-woo jumped into the pond before even Kahn could finish speaking.
Kahn was about to rush in thinking that Yeon-woo might be sinking down in excruciating pain.
“I suppose we didn’t have to worry, did we?”
“…Yeah.”
Yeon-woo was swimming with complete ease, like a fish in water.
While Doyle was smiling, Kahn was looking a bit abashed. He had confirmed in the dungeon that Yeon-woo was somewhat skilled, but this was just a whole different level. He started thinking that he might have snatched someone greater than he had anticipated.

‘This guy has grown so much even before clearing Section B. How much more can he grow by venturing through the rest of the sections?’
Kahn smiled at Yeon-woo who was currently cleaving through the water.
‘Maybe.’
A thought occurred to him, that Yeon-woo might be someone who will set the whole tutorial on fire, just like him.
He would always welcome another expert.

Not caring about Kahn’s surprise, Yeon-woo analyzed his new body as he clove through the Heavyweight Water.
‘So this is what Flame Heart and Frost Crest does. It’s so good.’
If a normal person were to jump in this water, their body would be crushed by the pressure. But thanks to Reinforced Physique, his body didn’t hurt a bit.
The Flame Heart was constantly pumping an enormous amount of vitality throughout his body, and the Frost Crest had hardened his skeleton enough to withstand the pressure from the Heavyweight Water. For Yeonwoo, this was no different from an ordinary bath on Earth.

Then, Yeon-woo began to wonder how would Kahn and Doyle cross the pond, so he turned back and watched.
Kahn, who was physically fit, took another piece of cloth out of his pocket and tied his sword next to his waist before jumping into the water. He was a good swimmer. Doyle, on the other hand,
“What is that? Is that his skill?”
As Doyle made a subtle gesture in the air. From the walls, a swarm of flies suddenly flocked above the pond. The flies were forming some kind of cloud.
Doyle moved forward as he stepped on the dark cloud made out of flies. With every step he took, the bugs moved along and made a bridge beneath his feet. It was truly a peculiar sight.
Many flies were trampled to death, but more flies came and filled their spot, making it easy to move.
‘He belongs to the tamer class, maybe entomopathy?’
Tamers, especially those with zoopathy, were often accompanied by specific animals because they valued communion with their animals.
But entomopathists had to deal with bugs that possessed low levels intelligence, so it was harder and more complicated. He didn’t expect to see one with his own eyes in the tutorial.
It also made some sense now as to why the 11th ranker couldn’t react to his attack. He relied on his skills and entomopathy, so his physical ability fell short.

‘That reminds me, didn’t he say Black Skull was also good at entomopathy?’
For a second, he recalled a ranker in The Tower. But Yeon-woo shook his head and erased the name from his mind. They were going to meet one day, but he didn’t have to worry about it now.
After confirming that Kahn and Doyle were following him, Yeon-woo took a deep breath and dived into the water. Inside the pond was pitch black, as if he had dived deep into the sea. So he had to strengthen his senses to the fullest extent.
*Kwang*
Yeon-woo gave a powerful kick and glided through the water.
The water felt cool and fresh against his skin, maybe it was because it had been a while since had experienced such fast movement.

Bild, the executive of Arangdan, was frowning at the report. It was about the villain who had destroyed Kaen’s party and disappeared into the Black Route. Bild had finally discovered his whereabouts, he was at the Heavyweight Water pond in Section B. It seemed he hadn’t made any progress because of its high difficulty.
But when he was about to take off, he was caught by the following report.
“Sir, we have a problem.”

“What problem?”
“Kahn and Doyle were also spotted next to him.”
“What? Why are they with him? They are supposed to be at Section E, aren’t they?”
Khan and Doyle, along with the siblings from the Cheong-lam family, were also taking the spotlight. Even Cheonghwado, the force behind Arangdan, paid close attention to their every move. And now all of a sudden they had appeared here.
Bild thought that the villain they were looking for didn’t have any connection to people in The Tower.
“We don’t have accurate information yet, so we’re still investigating. However, we have some reports saying that those two haven’t been seen in Section E recently, and some people witnessed two men that fit their description.”
Bild glared at the subordinate.
“And why is it just now that I am hearing about this?”
The subordinate gave an excuse with his shoulders hunched.
“The reports came from an earlier section, so we thought it was unimportant.”

*Kwang*
Bild slammed the table with his fist.
“So what does that suppose to mean? Did they team up with each other?”
The subordinate lowered his head as he lost face.
“I’m afraid that’s our assumption.”
“So he’s got somebody behind him. Khan, Doyle. You dirty pieces of shit.”
Bild gritted his teeth as he recalled the images of the dumbass duo’s faces. He took this situation as none other than a declaration of a war.
They must have recruited the masked guy even though they knew he had stirred trouble with Arangdan. This was clearly treating Arangdan, or even Cheonghwado, with disdain.
“Let’s head to where he is now. Assemble the members.”
“They are all currently waiting outside.”
