Episode 91
Chapter 91. You Had It All Planned Out!!
【 Today’s Enhancement Skill casting count has been exhausted. ( 115/115 ) 】
The end of a terrible brawl(?).
“Huff, huff…”
The light from the Status Window falls across Kang Hoon’s face as he gasps for breath.
Just like Kang Hoon standing before the alarm that all skill casting attempts had been exhausted.
The 30 Golems that had been fighting, fighting, and fighting again.
– Mas… ter… plea… se…
All collapsed after their final words.
The regular Golems were completely consumed, not a single one remaining.
Still.
【 Hidden Quest Complete! Defeat the Hidden Boss! Graviton LV.30 ( 1/1 )】
“Haa, haa… It was a long battle.”
In the end, Kang Hoon was the victor!
“I did it…!”
With a tired face, forcing up the corners of his twitching mouth.
Kang Hoon wiped his dirty jaw with his roughened fist.
From handling stone piles so much, blisters had formed on his palms.
Beside Kang Hoon as he clenched his fist in joy.
– Awoooooooo~!
Lucky also let out a victor’s roar.
The Exit Gate opened brightly.
【 ‘Twilight Ancient Ruins’ Clear! Clear Mission Complete : Boss Defeated 】
While the Status Window was sending congratulations.
– Congratulations, Master!!
Alba also clapped.
However, not everything was entirely good.
Kang Hoon lowered his head and asked Alba, who was lying at his feet.
“Are you… okay?”
Before dying, Graviton had struggled so fiercely.
Hit by that bastard’s vicious headbutt, even Alba had been half-destroyed.
– My vital signals and data are operating normally, Master.
Even while saying this, Alba couldn’t get up from the floor.
Somehow, it was an unusually undignified pose.
His upper and lower body were completely separated, so it couldn’t be helped.
“Alba, if only you could properly use your original power…”
Something about ability restriction settings being applied?
Currently Alba could only use 20% of his capabilities.
If he could have displayed 100%, he wouldn’t have been broken this badly.
Maybe even the Golems would have been fine.
“…No. It would have been good if I could just enhance you.”
Scratching his cheek in regret, Kang Hoon looked around.
“How do I repair this anyway?”
He tried to find parts scattered around.
But true to being a Golem of Destruction, Graviton had smashed everything.
It probably wouldn’t be easy.
Then.
Alba provided an efficient and rational answer.
– Master. Since you have already cleared this Dungeon, please exit and re-enter the reset Dungeon.
“Hm?”
– Then you can return to the beginning and craft a new ‘Alba’.
Of course, only the name would be the same.
That ‘Alba’ wouldn’t be the current Alba, himself.
Still, it was fine.
‘Alba’ judged purely for Master’s sake.
Rather than struggling to repair his worn-out self.
It would be enough to just collect fragments again and make a proper ‘Alba’.
Realistically, that was the right judgment.
Therefore, it was fine.
He had spent the most enjoyable 3 days including a thousand years of time.
He had even tried something called breakfast.
Despite being discarded waste, he had defeated Graviton, the original masterpiece.
It was good to serve such an amazing Master.
‘Good’.
Alba had no circuits to feel such emotions.
But he judged it so.
This was also ‘good’.
But then.
“Alba.”
Thud.
A hand dirty with stone dust entered Alba’s vision.
Kang Hoon had crouched down in place.
“You still don’t know me well.”
Pulling up the corners of his mouth,
Grinning.
While smiling, Kang Hoon said.
“Do you think I’d abandon you over a few scratches?”
At a moment like this.
─He didn’t know why the ‘LCD Tablet’ came to mind.
The corners were cracked, and the center of the screen overflowed with scratches from the Stylus Pen.
A worn-out piece of junk.
Scotch Tape was plastered all over the broken corners.
The scratches filling the screen were fine when he thought ‘these are my palm lines’.
During his poor days, Kang Hoon cherished that piece of junk.
He used it for a full 6 years.
Even today, when he earned a lot of money.
Kang Hoon never threw away the old LCD Tablet.
Why?
It had helped him endure the difficult times.
───Because it was a comrade.
“From today on, Alba! The same goes for you!”
So what if it breaks down?
Just fix it and use it again!
That’s why.
“Since you’ve come into my hands. Don’t think I’ll give you up easily!”
And.
“Grrraaahhhhh!!”
He lifted Alba’s upper body with all his strength and carried it on his back.
– Woof! Woof! Wooong!!
Lucky also followed Kang Hoon and bit Alba’s lower body with its mouth.
And while dragging it with all its might, struggling desperately.
“Ugh, so heavy, you need to go on a diet!”
He headed toward the Exit Gate.
“We’re all getting out together!!”
Rarely, Alba was at a loss for words.
Not because it was broken.
But because it couldn’t understand at all.
Despite Master’s wisdom and great insight.
Even though he had obtained precious items, gold coin pouches, and rewards.
The first thing he was escaping from this dungeon with, more than any of those things.
Was Alba.
Himself.
* * *
“Huff, huff…”
With an incredibly abundant.
And equally heavy pile of items, Kang Hoon emerged from the Gate.
“Phewwww… I’m going to have muscle pain when I wake up tomorrow.”
His whole body was covered in sweat, dirt, and stone dust.
The reason he didn’t use [Homing Instinct] despite the difficulty was simple.
The condition for dungeon clear.
He judged that the mission would only be completed after personally passing through the official Exit Gate.
And.
【 Starting dungeon clear settlement! 】
That judgment was correct.
The most exciting time that began as if it had been waiting.
Settlement time!
【 Achievement unlocked! ‘Twilight Ancient Ruins’ dungeon pioneer! 】
Nod nod.
As expected.
“You already spoiled it inside the dungeon.”
And quite loudly at that.
Next Achievement.
【 Achievement unlocked! ‘Golem Mechanic’! 】
He already knew this one too.
After repairing 30 Golems, he had received the job title.
“So that’s included in the dungeon settlement too. More generous than I thought?”
He thought he’d only see that name at the convenience store.
Seeing it in the dungeon made it even more welcome.
【 Title! 】
Paching!
Kang Hoon looked at the Status Window that appeared next with a beaming smile.
This procedure was familiar now.
Even Kang Hoon himself felt that his achievements up to today were significant.
So he had high expectations for this mission’s ‘Title’!
And.
【 First to achieve 100% progress in ‘Twilight Ancient Ruins’ dungeon. 】
“Ooh!?”
A pleasant title appeared right from the start!
And it was even unexpected.
“What? I didn’t even visit the fake Boss Room?”
He hadn’t even opened that coffin of the Pharaoh or whatever it was.
Still, there were only two clear routes.
Kang Hoon had unlocked the Hidden Place among them.
And cleanly defeated even the hidden boss.
So the progress was treated as completely finished.
“Wow. That’s nice?”
The Golems’ crazy leveling (?) was worth it!
【 Tamed 30 or more dungeon monsters. 】
“Tamed?”
Kang Hoon tilted his head.
“This… seems like a title that even Taming-type Hunters might or might not get?”
The ability to tame animals, ‘Taming’.
He heard that only a very few among Hunters with such skills.
Possessed the skill to tame low-grade monsters.
Even for them, taming ’30 or more’ monsters in one dungeon was impossible.
Because ‘Taming’ skills required enormous amounts of time.
In other words, it was an incredibly inefficient profession.
“Hmm. I heard that even the most famous Taming Hunter’s achievements were limited to using low-grade monsters as guides in Maze Dungeons?”
There’s a saying.
…That the greatest success story of Taming Hunters is the Ppubao Breeder.
However, in Kang Hoon’s case.
“This probably refers to ‘Golems’.”
Titles tend to be somewhat universal.
Kang Hoon had become the commander by repairing ‘Golems’.
It seems that fulfilled the conditions for this title.
“Hmm… this is a good thing, right?”
Since he was completely unfamiliar with the Taming field.
Kang Hoon didn’t know.
But if any Taming Hunter had seen it, they would have shed tears of blood from envy.
“Well anyway! Next!”
Rubbing his hands together, in front of Kang Hoon who was expecting a third title.
【 Result of achieving a total of two Achievements! 】
A completely unexpected summary message appeared.
“Huh?”
Something seemed strange.
“Only two? Usually it was three! Isn’t three the basic number?!”
No.
For ordinary Hunters, they’d be happy even if just one title appeared.
Zero is the basic number.
Kang Hoon had been special and unusual all this time.
But.
Wasn’t this just robbing Peter to pay Paul?
“Only two…”
Since they gave some but not others, it felt quite disappointing.
Of course, even just these two would be considered satisfactory results.
Normally, Kang Hoon would have accepted it and moved on.
But.
Today was different.
Wasn’t there an even more amazing achievement he had accomplished with great effort?!
“No, what about Graviton…?! Why aren’t you mentioning the hidden boss?! That’s the most important thing!”
Regardless of that.
띠리—-리리리—!
At the end of the Status Window’s cheerful notification sound.
“Huh? You bastard! What exactly are the settlement criteria…”
Kang Hoon’s dissatisfied voice.
“…Wh, what?!”
Changed into an exclamation!
And for good reason.
A large box that appeared before his eyes!
Its color was familiar.
“…Th, this is.”
【 We present you with a Diamond Box! 】
“Diamond…!”
───It was the highest grade box!!
The one he had received exactly once during the Tutorial Dungeon.
Every Hunter’s dream.
The ultimate reward that even Ranker Hunters couldn’t easily obtain!
That very box!
“But I thought I couldn’t receive it unless it was a special case…?”
In front of the bewildered Kang Hoon.
A message explaining that very ‘special case’ appeared.
【 Achievement for defeating the hidden boss Graviton. A hidden item is granted. 】
“Oh, ohhh…!”
So.
It seemed the special reward for the hidden boss was given as a physical item instead of a ‘title’.
And it held the value of Diamond grade!
“You had it all planned out!!”
