Ivory Boar.

This was a medium sized monster that appeared in 4 Floor or higher dungeons with trunks and ivory tusks similar to elephants.

In addition, they usually lived in groups of about ten.

When entering a battle, all ten of them would make bizarre cries before rushing towards their enemy, something that was a nightmare for all tanks.

Kungkung!

And now, a herd of Ivory Boars was lazing about on the ground while occasionally eating some fruit.

Kungkung!

In addition, this herd had reached the astonishing size of around thirty members instead of the usual ten.

It was a frightening number.

If ten of these creatures could be called a nightmare, then thirty of them could only be called a disaster.

They weren’t targets you could hunt. Instead, what you should do is avoid them if you ever encounter them. 

In fact, even other monsters avoided this herd of Ivory Boars as best as they could, and the herd knew that.

Kungkung!

And that’s why they could laze around while leisurely using their trunks to pick up and eat fruit.

Kiieeek!

This herd of Ivory Boars didn’t even lose their composure when they heard a Wyvern’s cry from above them.

They were confident that no wyvern would dare attack their group, and their confidence became a reality.

Kieeh…

The Wyvern’s cry faded into the distance.

Kungkung!

And the small amount of interest that the Ivory Boars had directed to the Wyvern gradually faded as well.

Puuht!

Suddenly, something large fell among the group of Ivory Boars.

Krung, krung!

Kuong, kuong!

In no time, the cries of the Ivory Boars became angry roars, and the atmosphere changed significantly.

The Ivory Boars’ rage and killing intent seemed to fill the surrounding area in an instant.

At the same time, the Ivory Boars positioned themselves so that they could charge at the enemy at any time.

It seemed the tanks had finished loading their shells.

But their momentum didn’t last for very long.

Kungkung? Kungkung!

The Ivory Boars realised that the thing that had fallen among them was actually the corpse of a monster. The moment they realised that, the Ivory Boars immediately relaxed.

Kungkung!

At that moment they all had the same thought.

That Wyvern must have dropped the prey that it was carrying!

And now it wouldn’t get it back!

The relaxed Ivory Boars once again began picking up fruits and eating them.

Kieeh!

Suddenly, the cries of a Wyvern once again came from the sky.

But the thing that fell this time was different. 

Unlike before it had managed to land on the body of an Ivory Boar instead of on the ground.

The biggest difference was what happened after it landed.

Pop!

As soon as it hit the Ivory Boar’s body, the thing that fell suddenly exploded, causing blood and other pieces of viscera to cover the Ivory Boar.

Kehung!

And in the next moment, a cry of pain came from the mouth of the Ivory Boar.

A deadly poison began to spread.

This fact caused the Ivory Boars’ rage to reach unprecedented levels.

Kehuuuung!

They let out loud roars in anger that seemed to cause the entire forest to shake.

Naturally, this caused all the sounds in the forest to stop.

Pop!

This silence was then broken by another body falling onto an Ivory Boar and exploding.

Pop!

And these attacks kept coming one after another.

Kehung!

Every time these attacks happened, an Ivory Boar would scream in pain before collapsing to the ground.

After falling to the ground, these Ivory Boars’ eyes would begin to roll and they would start gasping for breath.

Seeing this, the other Ivory Boars began panicking.

Kung?

What the hell was happening in the sky?

This question that they couldn’t learn the answer to caused the Ivory Boars to become even more terrified and confused.

And for these Ivory Boars, it was impossible for them to escape this situation.

The fear that if they left the group they would become like the corpses falling from the sky caused them to cluster up even tighter.

The Ivory Boars had gotten so close that they were all rubbing against each other.

Pop!

Once again, a corpse fell upon an Ivory Boar and exploded.

Kehung!

The Ivory Boar who had become covered in gore screamed out, but nonetheless, the Ivory Boars didn’t scatter.

Instead, they seemed to try to get as close to their companions as possible.

“This is the first time in my life that I’ve ever felt sorry for Ivory Boars.”

As he watched this scene together with Kim Woo-jin from a distance, Lee Jin-ah couldn’t help but comment on this scene.

[Your level has increased.]

Meanwhile, Kim Woo-jin heard the notification indicating a level up, so he decided to check his status window.

[Kim Woo-jin.]

– Level: 139

– Halo: Emissary of the Underworld.

– Stats: HP(416+1155)/Stamina(2+499)/Magic Power(3+1032)

– Achievement: 120

– Extra Points: 3

Level 139.

This was the result of his explosive growth rate.

“Did you level up?”

Lee Jin-ah threw out this question as he saw Kim Woo-jin’s reaction.

“It’s really relaxed. Isn’t it weird to level up like this?”

Lee Jin-ah shook his head while asking.

“Isn’t it? A real man has to work hard and sweat to achieve a sense of accomplishment.”

When he heard that, Kim Woo-jin let out a laugh.

In fact, before returning to the past, Kim Woo-jin was also someone who felt a sense of accomplishment like that.

He used to get an indescribable sense of accomplishment in the fact that he had used his sweat and blood to help save the world.

In other words, he only gained a sense of accomplishment by saving the world, and not by hunting.

That fact was true even now.

‘I need to find a more efficient way.’

At this moment, Kim Woo-jin was still devising more comfortable and efficient ways to achieve better results without needing to sweat or bleed.

“Hey, are you listening to me?”

“If you want to sweat so badly, then I have no choice but to let you sweat.”

“Huh?”

“I’ll send you to the battlefield right away so you can sweat.”

Kieek!

Kyaha!

At that moment, a Skeleton Knight and a Wyvern appeared to collect another body to throw, and Kim Woo-jin gestured towards them with his chin.

“It’ll be much faster by air.”

Terrified, Lee Jin-ah hurriedly said.

“What’s the point of sweating? All you’ll do is feel and smell sweaty, that’s all.”

After saying that, he took a step back.

“I’ll go scout around a little.”

He quickly escaped because he felt he really might experience what it was like to be thrown into a group of monsters by a Wyvern.

Looking at Lee Jin-ah, Kim Woo-jin had a slight thought.

‘When the Blessing of River Styx reaches transcendent rank, the resilience of the user would also transcend common sense. In that case, it would definitely be possible to throw them into the middle of a group of monsters with a Wyvern, even if it’s a bit unreasonable.’

It would be an indescribable merit to be able to quickly reach the heart of an enemy camp, and Kim Woo-jin had no intention of letting go of that merit.

‘The moment Lee Jin-ah’s Blessing of River Styx skill reaches transcendent rank, our tactical capabilities will increase drastically.’

While Kim Woo-jin was thinking about how best to use Lee Jin-ah with his new aerial abilities, the herd of Ivory Boars had already fallen to single digits.

Lee Jin-ah, who had gone to scout the area, came back to Kim Woo-jin and said.

“Look what I found over there.”

There was a human skull in his hand.

…

It was very simple to tell whether players had entered a dungeon gate or not. 

If the dungeon’s title information appeared when a player reached out to it, that meant that there was no one alive in the dungeon. On the contrary, if the dungeon gate felt like a wall, and there was no notification, this meant that there were living players in the dungeon.

This was common knowledge that all players were aware of.

Common sense that couldn’t be overturned in any way.

“Are you sure it was here?”

But Shakira couldn’t accept that common sense at that moment.

After asking that, she reached out her hand to the dungeon gate that appeared inside a huge tree trunk.

The dungeon gate looked like a rift in space that would suck her hand in immediately.

Tuk.

However, her hand, as if blocked by a wall, could not enter the dungeon gate.

“Are you certain?”

Afterwards, she turned to look at her subordinate who nodded firmly.

“W-, without a doubt.”

“Can you bet your life on it?”

“Huh?”

“Can you bet your life on your words?”

When Shakira repeated her question, the subordinate shut their mouth quickly.

Seeing this, Shakira spoke.

“If this is true, I will have to risk my life to pass this information on to the boss, so can you bet or not?”

When he heard that, the subordinate hesitantly opened his mouth.

“I-, I’m sure. A-, all the evidence shows that Isaac Ivanov entered this 6 Floor dungeon.”

After hearing that, Shakira immediately lifted the satellite phone in her hand, and made a call.

It was picked up immediately.

-What’s the situation?

It was a call to the Lightning King.

Shakira then spoke with certainty.

“Isaac Ivanov’s party entered a 6 Floor dungeon.”

-6 Floor dungeon?

Even the Lightning King couldn’t help but confirm in a surprised tone when he heard that.

For the Lightning King, he couldn’t even imagine that Isaac Ivanov, who had recently made his debut in 5 Floor dungeons would attack a 6 Floor one.

“Yes, I’m sure. It’s clear that they entered the E+ rank 6 Floor dungeon, Blackened Forest.”

Along with those words, Shakira looked down at the document in her hands.

[Blackened Forest]

– Floors: 6

– Difficulty: E+ rank

– Maximum number of Entries: 281

– Requirement: Level 200 and below

– Challenge Conditions: Take care of the Leader of the Blackened Forest!

– Reward: None

It was a dungeon report for the 6 Floor dungeon, Blackened Forest.

In addition, the report showed many signs of being read. 

This was proof that this wasn’t just a dungeon the Thunderbird Company had information about.

This was also why Shakira’s expression was so stiff.

-Didn’t Isaac Ivanov know what kind of dungeon it was when he entered it?

And that was also the reason why the Lightning King’s voice was so strange.

-I can’t believe he entered the dungeon the traitor escaped into.
