Chapter 5 Part5 (1/2)

”Is it the... boss room?”

The sewers dungeon he had entered had quite a simple structure. Though it thoroughly had roads that split off, other than the small waterway that organisms couldn't go in or out of, there were only a few wide pa.s.sageways, so he could just thoughtlessly kill the slimes and follow the path.And at the end of this path was this. He had a suspicion that the pa.s.sageways were gradually merging into one, and it turned out it was all because of the boss room.

'There's probably no reason to hesitate at this point.'

It did seem like he had killed all the slimes, and he didn't have a reason to turn back without killing the boss.But he hadn't felt danger from an enemy even once in this dungeon, and he was a bit exhausted, so if he were to fight the boss in this state, he might lose one of his precious lives, so before fighting the boss, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo yelled out to refocus himself.

'I need to put on my equipment too.'

He hadn't worn his equipment for the past five days, so it felt a bit awkward. Lee s.h.i.+n Woo wore the Dire Wolf Bone Armor, confirmed that his health had indeed increased, and raised the Bone of Thunder Lasting in his hand. This time, his strength and magic increased. When he checked his status in this state...

[Lee s.h.i.+n Woo][Skeleton Avenger Blessed by G.o.d][Treasure Hunter][Lv - 2 (Status Effectiveness 110%)[Strength - 98 + 16 Agility - 95 + 10 Health - 95 + 30 Magic - 102 + 15] (While dungeon bonuses are being applied)[Pa.s.sive skills - Invisible Heart Lv3, Acting Lv4, Beginner Avenger Lv1, Low Rank Bursting Thunder Lv4, Low Rank Magic Affinity Lv2, Low Rank Stealth Lv3, Beginner Command Lv3][Active skills - Bone Reinforcement Lv3, Low Rank Sprint Lv2, Beginner Shriek of the Dead Lv9, Beginner Regeneration Lv9, Beginner Catapult Lv8, Beginner Flames of Revenge Lv7, Beginner Power Slash Lv5][Resistance - Acid - Beginner Lv9]

There wasn't much change in his strength, agility, or health. At most, his skills leveled up, or his stats increased slightly as an additional effect of receiving a portion of the Barbarian's karma. However, the change in his magic was huge.He trained his Low Rank Magic Affinity, and reinforced himself with the slime bone cores he occasionally acquired; as a result, his stat which had, funnily enough, been the lowest, was the stat that exceeded 100 first! Because of that, his stats reached a total of 390. If he raised his stats by 10, he would reach a total of 400, and would soon reach level 3.

'If we add in the bonus, I'm already level 3.'

It happened when he saw the equipment's effects, as well as the dungeons bonus on his stats. He thought he needed to be really focused, yet when he saw his persistently increasing stats, he couldn't stop the rus.h.i.+ng feeling that he didn't need to be afraid of anything.

'No, I can't do that.'

Lee s.h.i.+n Woo hit his cheek. It was annoying that he didn't even hear a slapping sound but instead heard a stiff sound, but he was able to get a hold of himself.

”Hoo... Alright.”

His preparations were perfect. His health and mana were full, and his combat senses were well polished, unlike before. His Acid Resistance had also increased sharply due to his body resisting so much acid. Lee s.h.i.+n Woo approached the circular iron gate after exhaling a deep breath. And daringly opened the door.

[Guooooh...]

There was a really huge clearing within, and a really big slime filled about a third of the clearing. ...A really big slime.

[Lv3 Great Slime]

[Guooh?]”...”

All of his concerns until now had been pointless. The moment he saw it, his abundant confidence disappeared into the ground. Despite sufficiently preparing for the boss fight, he hadn't imagined that this kind of situation would be awaiting him. Why the h.e.l.l did a level 1 dungeon have a level 3 boss?

[Guooh...!]

However, he didn't have time to spare quibbling over why. That's because the Great Slime noticed him, lightly sprung up from its position with its chubby body, and... with an astonis.h.i.+ng speed, rushed towards him!

[Guoooh!]

”You a.s.shole, that's cheating!”

'Would it just rush over like that?' is what he stupidly thought and survived as a result. He instinctually used his Sprint and was able to avoid its attack.Instead of hitting Lee s.h.i.+n Woo, the Great Slime collided with the iron gate, forcibly closing it due to impact, and making this place a secret room.

'Huh?'

Lee s.h.i.+n Woo saw that and momentarily felt like something was strange, but that didn't continue for very long. Since it was already too much just to be completely focused on this fight!

[Guoooh!]”Ugh!”

It seemed like it wasn't very hurt even after hitting the wall as it once again bounced in place and rushed towards him. Like it was proving that it was level 3, it rushed at him with an absurd speed he hadn't yet experienced before!

”Uaah!”

To think that a skeleton was dodging a slime bouncing in place; someone observing from the outside would think of this as an extremely comical scene, but honestly, Lee s.h.i.+n Woo, who was facing the slime, felt like he was a soldier that came across a clump of rock launched from a catapult.

”Tch!”[Guooh!]

The trajectory of its charge was really simple, so as long he grasped its charge beforehand, it wasn't actually that hard to dodge it. However, he couldn't just dodge like this forever. Lee s.h.i.+n Woo really didn't like this situation. It made him think of when he was in high school, competing in dodgeball, and him being the only one remaining in the ring.

[Guoooooooh!]

He would've rather gotten hit quickly and gone out, but just getting hit on purpose was kind of awkward, so he had run around hectically; it felt really miserable back then!Remembering that, spite welled up in his (nonexistent) eyes. This was revenge time. He would inflict his past revenge on this guy instead! Certain individuals might say that he was accusing the wrong person or pa.s.sing the blame, but he wasn't concerned with that.

'Flames of Revenge.'

As he dodged its fourth charge, he manifested a ma.s.s of black flames atop one of his hands. If he did as he wanted, he would've fought by putting the flames on his weapon, but if he clashed straight up with the slime, which was continuously charging without pause, his weapon or his body would be crushed, so it was impossible.

[Guooh!]
