Chapters Chapter 179: Quest Activated! (2/2)
“An epic item?”
“W-Well…”
Lee Chae-rin turned speechless at Kang Chul-In’s response.
An epic item was something that one couldn’t just simply buy.
“It’s okay, so you don’t have to pay attention to me.”
“Huh?”
“I know some dungeons where I can get epic items, so I’ll just go there. Even though I can’t get a truly useful weapon at the moment… There might be something that I can use for the current situation.”
Kang Chul-In said, looking through his past memories.
He had conquered countless dungeons with Dorian before. It made sense that he could come up with at least one dungeon that gave a suitable weapon for this situation.
The weapon I need right now… is a light-element based sword.
Kang Chul-In had always used a sword as his weapon of choice, and they definitely needed a light-element based weapon to take the black bone dragon down.
Since I’m level 64 right now, a light-element sword that I can get from a level 70 dungeon…
Kang Chul-In thought of a few items, but there didn’t seem to be one that fit the current situation.
Even though he could think of some fire or dark based epic weapons, they wouldn’t be of much use in this situation.
“This might be bad…”
Kang Chul-In murmured, unable to think of anything.
“Huu…”
At that moment, Lee Chae-rin sighed.
“Why are you sighing?”
“It seems that Mr. Chul-In only has fighting in his mind, even after just waking up.”
“There’s no choice. Now that the bone dragon is in its berserk state, it will rampage around for at least 4-5 days. In that time, thousands will die.”
“Is there no way to beat it right now?”
“The only chance is if it somehow comes out of its berserk state, or if I have a light-element sword.”
“Is that so…?”
Lee Chae-rin shook her head, and continued to talk.
“Still...”
“...?”
“I’m glad… Mr. Chul-In didn’t die.”
“Well…”
Kang Chul-In’s words were interrupted by Lee Chae-rin hugging him.
“Mr. Chul-In…”
Lee Chae-rin sobbed.
“I was worried… I thought Mr. Chul-In would die… Sob…”
“...is that so?”
“Sob…”
“Umm…”
Kang Chul-In was startled.
He didn’t know how to calm her down.
It seemed that due to his addiction to working, all of his ‘romance cells’ had dried up, and died.
“Well… it’s okay. I’m alive.”
Kang Chul-In said, somewhat foolishly.
“Hmph!”
Lee Chae-rin pouted.
------------
Kkiii!
The ambulance suddenly stopped.
“The road in front of us is blocked. I think something might be in the way…”
“Then turn the car around towards Bangbae-station. Even though that place will have bad traffic too… Wait a minute… Is that a monster blocking the way?!”
It seemed that the road had been blocked due to the appearance of a monster.
What a hellhole. I mean, it wouldn’t be Seoul otherwise.
Seoul was a city that was extremely densely populated, and there were also a bunch of cars. It would make sense that the traffic would become hellish if a monster appeared, since it was bad in the first place.
“Hello, there.”
At that moment, a lieutenant commander came by, and talked to the man driving the car.
“Ah, yes. Hello.”
“Is the person inside in grave danger?”
“Uh… Well…”
The man that was driving stared at Kang Chul-In, who was talking to Lee Chae-rin.
“He’s not in ‘grave’ danger, but he is a VVIP…”
“Ah…”
“He’s director Kang of the Galaxy Corporation. He got injured while fighting a monster…”
“Ah, is that so?”
Even though the lieutenant commander didn’t know what had happened, he knew that Kang Chul-In was the one that warned people of the monsters beforehand.
“Hmm…”
After thinking to himself, the man spoke again.
“If you need to go quickly, then I think I can let you pass.”
“Huh? Isn’t a monster blocking the road right now?”
“Oh, well… no.”
“Then?”
“Something similar to a monster gate popped up near Sadang-station… But nothing’s coming out from it, so… I think that it’ll be okay if you pass by quickly.”
“Hmm…”
The driver hesitated.
Even though Kang Chul-In looked fine right now, they needed to take him to the hospital to do a proper check-up.
“Hey, you there.”
After listening to their conversation, Kang Chul-In interrupted.
“What color was that monster gate?”
“Sorry?”
“I asked what color the gate was.”
“It… was grey, I think.”
“Then it’s okay.”
“What do you mean…”
“No monsters will come out of a grey gate.”
Kang Chul-In spoke.
“Really?”
“If the gate is grey, that means that the dungeon inside is shaped like a maze. There won’t be monsters that come out. Maybe 1 or 2 at most, and the strong monsters are deep inside the maze, so there’s no need to worry.”
“Aha!”
Understanding Kang Chul-In’s explanation, the lieutenant commander nodded.
“Thank you, director Kang.”
Saying this, he saluted towards Kang Chul-In, and made way for the ambulance to pass by.
“Hmph, to choose a maze dungeon out of everything.”
Kang Chul-In laughed.
And while he was laughing, the ambulance passed by Sadang-station, where the dungeon was.
But at that moment---
-A hidden quest has occurred!
As the ambulance passed by the maze gate near Sadang-station, Kang Chul-In’s inventory opened up automatically, and a scroll floated up.
“...!”
Kang Chul-In’s face stiffened.
This scroll was one of the rewards he had gotten for getting 1st place in the lord meetings, the epic item called ‘The Trace of the Holy Light Sword’.
That meant,
“Holy light sword? ...Mitra?”
That a quest, related to the legendary sword Mitra, had just occurred!
