He got up from where he sat.

Purr—!

Miru flew back just in time. Actually, he came faster than Su-hyeun expected.

<>

Su-hyeun stroked Miru’s head and said, “Good job, son.”

Purr, purr—!

He wanted to play more with Miru, who was rubbing his face on him. But he had no time to do that. The people below were finishing the evacuation. In fact, even if the ship fell down, people could run away by themselves since they were skilled enough to attack the green-colored dungeon.

The preparations were now over. Even though it was an old ship, to break this huge thing, he needed to spend quite a bit of energy. So, there was something he had prepared.

“I didn’t know I would use these this way.”

Su-hyeun threw a nail-sized red stone that he had held.

Chink, chink—

That red stone was the last one. He had evenly sprayed the stones. The red stones were the work of Kim Dae-ho.

“I made these from the Ether stone you had brought. They were difficult to make. So, don’t waste them.”

“Where can I use these?”

“They are magic amplifiers.”

“Magic amplifiers?”

“The connection between stones will make a path that magic can go through. And then, it amplifies the magic power instantly. It is like the better version of a magic circle that awakeners use.”

Although the description was poor, Su-hyeun quickly grasped the usage of the items. In other words, they were a medium for creating a magic circle. The form of the circle was pretty simple.

“I said it was a magic circle, but the form does not really matter. You can make like a circle or you can put them in a row. As long as you can make a line, they will become a great amplifier.”

“I guess they will be useful to make a trap or something.”

“Not just for a trap,” Kim Dae-ho laughed proudly and said, “It’s best when you destroy things.”

***

In fact, these red stones were difficult to use although Kim Da-ho put a lot of effort into making them. To use this item, Su-hyeun had to install the stones in many places. So, when he had to deal with a moving monster, it was a useless item. This item was just good to set traps. But in this situation, it was a different story.

Rumble—

Rumble—

The red stones that he had spread on the floor began to glow. At that moment, Su-hyeun turned his body. The reason he chose the bow as the place for the last stone was that way he could run away quickly.

“Let’s run away!”

Purr—

About the moment that Su-hyeun jumped—

Bam—!

Boom—!

—dozens of explosions occurred within the huge ship.

***

Rumble—

Boom, boom—

The remains of the huge ship fell down. Seeing that, Lee Ju-ho opened his mouth.

“What the hell did he do up there?” Lee Ju-ho asked.

“Can’t you tell?”

Thump—

At the voice from behind, Lee Ju-ho turned his body. At the back, Su-hyeun was about to land on the ground.

“I feel uncomfortable to leave that ship like that,” Su-hyeun said.

“What was the ship for?”

“That ship was alive. If I didn’t break it, it would bring more armor soldiers.”

“What? The ship…was alive?” Lee Ju-ho asked.

“Yes. Let’s talk about it later. It is not over yet.”

Su-hyeun pointed up as he spoke. Although the smoke from the explosion covered above, Lee Ju-ho could see something where Su-hyeun was pointing with his finger.

“Wh-What is that?” Lee Ju-ho asked.

“Can you see?”

“What the hell is so big like that?”

At the surprised Lee Ju-ho’s voice, people ran to them from all the sides.

“Mr. Su-hyeun! What the hell is that?”

“Is that…?”

The giant octopus was now close enough for everyone to see.

“Have you guys ever watched <>”

Su-hyeun now seemed to be able to figure out the theme and background of this dungeon. He could tell the identity of the ship and the identity of armor soldiers, including Dullahan, and the giant octopus that was coming to the big city under the sea from over there.

“That is Kraken,” Su-hyeun said.

“Kraken…”

“The name is not important now. Can’t you see how big that monster is?”

Lee Kang-hee made a great fuss. Kraken looked as big as a World Cup stadium. The overwhelming pressure that came from the size was not something that compared to any other monsters. Kraken was bigger than Igolas.

“What’s wrong?”

Su-hyeun answered as if it was nothing. “Won’t you catch it because it is so big?”
