Chapter 21 - Humans (3) (2/2)

When people saw a goblin at the entrance, did they make a hasty conclusion that this dungeon is full of goblins?

Is the difficulty of the monster at the starting point enough to deduce the difficulty of the dungeon, regardless of its depth?

No, not really.

I don’t know how much time I’ve been born as a goblin, but I’m sure it hasn’t been that long.

The Black Palace is not unique. Among other dungeons, there would be deep dungeons like this.

What’s more, it hasn’t been long since the synchronization was over, and humans haven’t been able to penetrate dungeons in detail. There can be no such guidelines.

So, at this point in time, humans measure the level of the monsters appearing at the entrance, rather than examining the dungeons in depth.

People are going to flock to this dungeon soon. What did the man say? ‘Auction House’, ‘Hidden Collection’?

I’m not sure what those meant, but it was clear that those with power would deliberately come here.

So, before that happens, I must be strong enough to be invisible to anyone. Moreover, I must have a human-like appearance that can blend in with society.

I firmly established my resolve.

“Damn, I don’t see goblins anymore. I have to go deeper than this.”

But now I have to get away from that man first. I’m not sure I won’t win, but the man will attack me as a monster he sees me, and then I would have to kill him.

It’s hard to be attacked by humans just because I’m a monster. I also want to avoid killing humans with my hands.

If they don’t see me, nothing will happen.

But if they come into contact, I need to kill them.

Fortunately, the structure of the aisle is much better for me than for men.

When I moved in the passage to get away from the man, the man didn’t even notice me, and he went to another passage.

He felt good, and he was heading straight to the heart of the dungeon.

I hesitated for a moment, but when I was convinced that I wasn’t caught by the man, I started to step on the man’s back at a sufficient distance.

Yes, I was also curious.

Is the boss room impossible to enter without a key? If you can enter, what does the key mean? What can a man do to get the key if he can’t get in? Does the man know about the key too?

After walking another hour or so, the man finally found the door. It was the first time I actually saw it, too.

As if to say that you can’t go beyond this, there is a huge wall of caves without a single passage.

Likewise, a massive iron gate occupying more than half of the cave wall.

And I also saw a keyhole where I could put in the key.

There was an unprecedented presence on the other side of the gate. I can’t figure out the exact number, but I felt the momentum I felt from the Goblin Knight, and even more.

Okay. After all, it would be better to get stronger before trying it. I was a little uneasy in my current state.

“Well, is this a dungeon room?” the man looked at the gate.

“I got it! I never thought there would be a room in this weakened dungeon… … Is it a named goblin? No, it’s hard to expect compensation even for Naimdra as a goblin… … treasure box! Come out of the treasure chest!”

The man was so excited as he turned the doorknob.

The door opened a little.

‘What?!’ I screamed in my head. Despite not having a key, he was able to open the door.

You can enter the boss room without a key!

The man stepped into the room.

The chills ran on my back.

I’m scared.

My Ebon Heart beat hard enough to burst as if telling me never to enter that place.

The moment the man stepped inside, the iron door closed.

Soon after, a terrible scream rang.

I stood there for a few more minutes, but the man never came back.

Forever, you will never come back.
