Chapter 95 - The Underground Waterways [4] (1/2)
Though her defense was not very high, 30,000 health was not low. What on earth could be in the left pathway? What did Roa miss that made her health go from 30,000 to 0?
‘I don’t think it’s a monster.’
If it was a monster, Roa would know.
A trap?
Soo Hyuk was lost in his thoughts, at the same time; the Firestorm’s duration was diminished. He paused his train of thought and said to Kamian and the Koma Guild members.
“Let’s go.”
“Ok, but where are we going…”
Kamian asked, at the question, Soo Hyuk thought for a moment, then looked toward the pathway on the right.
“Let’s go towards the right, that’s where the chimera came from.”
He didn’t know what was on the left. But seeing the chimera come out of the right pathway, the summoning circle should be at the end of the path.
The whole team began to walk towards the right pathway. Although Soo Hyuk walked forward in full confidence, Kamian and the Koma Guild were being careful, unlike before when Roa wasn’t dead.
-Chwiig
-Aaoouuu!
But the sound didn’t sound like what they had heard before.
‘Normal.’
When Soo Hyuk heard the sound, he knew it was neither the boss nor the mid-boss. So, it was evident that this one was a normal chimera. Soo Hyuk stopped walking halfway and raised his hand to signal at the back. Seeing his sign, Kamian and the Koma Guild stopped moving.
-Chiiik!
-Aaoouuu!
“K?”
As soon as the chimera came into their view, Soo Hyuk called K-Cross. The reason was to check the health of this chimera in front.
Knowing the reason why he was called, K-Cross, activated his dragon’s eye to check the monster’s health.
“Huh?”
K-Cross, who just confirmed its health looked a bit disturbed.
“It’s 1.8 million.”
Though it was still high, compared to the mid-boss it could only be considered normal.
And that was the problem, they thought as they go deeper, the health of the chimeras would get higher. And considering the mid-boss chimera, they thought this monster would have more than 2 million, not less than that.
“What, 1.8 million?”
Just like K-Cross, Soo Hyuk too felt strange with the health being reduced.
“Yes.”
K-Cross confirmed Soo Hyuk’s question. Then looking at the chimera, thinking.
‘That means I can’t get poisoned.’
The one Soo Hyuk killed near the entrance had 1.8 million health as well. That chimera’s poison didn’t affect him. That means if he can’t get poisoned he didn’t need to avoid it. So, without any delay, Soo Hyuk cast a spell on the chimera in front.
-Mutated Orc Skin
-Mutated Wolf Skin
Not long after, the chimera collapsed and a window appeared.
‘I thought I’d level up.’
His Experience level had filled up to 99%, compared to 92%. But Soo Hyuk, who thought he would level up couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.
After acquiring the dropped items, he and the Koma Guild started to move forward.
“Oh, there’s something shiny over there?”
K-Cross, who was investigating the area with his skill, spoke out as he was moving.
Soo Hyuk looked over in the direction K-Cross was looking, but his eyes saw nothing except the darkness.
‘Is it an item?’
Since K-Cross had no reason to lie about what he could see, so, there was likely something shining ahead of them. Soo Hyuk thought that it could be a magical item.
As the group moved a little farther ahead, Soo Hyuk could see the item K-Cross was talking about. Though something was strange, they were certain it was a magical item.
‘But why can’t I see any chimera nearby?’
The chimera was nowhere to be seen. As the summoning/magic circle was located at the end of the pathway, there was no place to hide.
‘Are they summoned every hour?’
Soo Hyuk thought while walking towards the circle, and wondering why there were no chimeras.
“I think we have met the requirement.”
Kamian said, who was following Soo Hyuk joined him by the magic circle.
“Let me just see the magic circle.”
Feeling Kamian’s presence behind him, Soo Hyuk replied at once.
“Soo Hyuk, what’s the status of the quest?”
Just as Kamian asked the question, Soo Hyuk opened his window.
〈The Troubled Underground Waterway〉
In the underground sewers of Hadrac, chimeras suddenly began appearing in the waterways. Ian and Alex made the decision to clean up the underground waterways, but the chimeras were strong and possessed powerful poison. In the end, the expedition failed, and the most they could achieve was to prevent the chimeras from escaping. Clean the underground waterways of the chimeras and identify their source!

“No, they are just the same.”
But when the Guild checked their stats, their conditions were met.
Unlike the Guild Quest, Soo Hyuk’s quest remained unchanged.
“I think we’ll have to destroy it.”
Unless confirmed, all that remained was destruction.
“Hmm, let’s go back.”
Hearing Soo Hyuk, Kamian, and the Koma Guild members took a step back. Soo Hyuk too walked away from the magic circle and cast a spell.
“Firestorm!”
Suaak!
When the spell was cast, a huge whirlpool of fire appeared engulfing the whole magic circle, then, at that time.
