Chapter 127
127: Hidden Dungeon? (2)
As word gradually spread that Rahel Lagariell’s party had been annihilated, no one could have imagined it was accomplished by an inferior human party—one that had only just crossed into the C-rank Zone. Meanwhile, I was greeting a new morning in the Deep-sea Region.
I stretched refreshed as I rose from bed, and at the sound of my movement, Hanalin and Jiyuchan stirred awake as well.
We hadn’t set a specific wake time, but with me, the Party Leader, already up, there was no point in lingering in bed. Besides, as Hunters, we could wake refreshed even with minimal sleep, so neither of them saw reason to stay longer.
“Good morning.”
“Good morning.”
“Good morning.”
After exchanging greetings, I washed up first, then Jiyuchan quickly followed, and finally it was Hanalin’s turn.
Though we’d only been in the Deep-sea Region for four days, we moved through our Dormitory routine with practiced ease.
As I emerged into the Common Area after washing, the desolate landscape remained unchanged. Sensing the presence of others, it seemed Choe Phil’s party was still in their room, but otherwise nothing had changed.
It made sense—they likely still had the C-rank Zone access restricted outside.
The Dormitory was quiet and barren, but I paid it no mind, heading to the Common Kitchen to grab some available food for a simple breakfast.
Jiyuchan, who washed quickly after me, came out and ate something light as well. Hanalin, who took the longest to wash and moved at her own leisurely pace, emerged and similarly took a simple bite of fruit.
As we enjoyed our unhurried breakfast, Hanalin—the most methodical among us three—spoke up first.
“Do you have any plans for today?”
At her question about today’s schedule, I smiled knowingly, and both Hanalin and Jiyuchan looked at me with eager anticipation.
Then.
“I discovered something while capturing Rahel—there’s a Hidden Dungeon nearby.”
“Oh? A Dungeon?”
“Hmm, a Dungeon right after arriving. Not bad at all.”
“Right?”
With Hanalin and Jiyuchan responding positively, I nodded in agreement. The C-rank Zone and Deep-sea Region were more complex than expected, so I’d been concerned about how to hunt effectively—not just Hanalin and Jiyuchan, but myself as well. Starting with a Dungeon was a good beginning.
Hunting was necessary, of course, but Dungeons with guaranteed rewards were naturally better than hunting.
As Hanalin and Jiyuchan seemed satisfied, I smiled contentedly, and Hanalin looked at me and asked.
“Since we bought the Anchor yesterday, can we leave right away?”
At her words, I nodded.
The sudden mention of an Anchor might seem confusing, but it was now one of the familiar items for all C-rank Hunters.
The Deep-sea Region was slightly more complex than the Maze Region. While we’d used map items in the Maze Region, the Deep-sea Region required different items.
Air coating was naturally necessary, but the most crucial item was this one.
『Anchor of Return』
▶「Upon use, transports all party members to the location of the paired Anchor that was used.」
Though only I could see this information, no C-rank Hunter was unaware of what the Anchor of Return did. The description alone might be hard to understand, but this Anchor of Return came in pairs—in simple terms, it operated on the concept of save and load.
If one of the two Anchors was used in a Safe Zone, then whenever the other Anchor was used anywhere in the Deep-sea Region, it would transport all party members back to that original Safe Zone.
Conversely, if the other Anchor was used at an exploration site, we could return to that location even after going back to the Safe Zone.
Without this, getting lost in the dimly lit Deep-sea Region was inevitable, and the area was absurdly vast, making the probability of discovering another Safe Zone extremely low. Such items had to exist out of necessity.
No one knew how they originally came to be, but regardless, they’d become indispensable items in the C-rank Zone.
In any case, I’d purchased one yesterday and already activated one Anchor at this Dormitory, so as Hanalin said, we could depart immediately without issue.
Since we’d prepared most things already, there was nothing left to ready. As I agreed, Hanalin and Jiyuchan stood up with enthusiasm.
They seemed quite excited at the mention of a Dungeon.
“I earned quite a few points yesterday, but I’d like to obtain some textbooks or items.”
“Same here.”
As Jiyuchan and Hanalin spoke, Dohyun nodded in agreement. While I had acquired quite a lot, I possessed so many skills that I’d begun to confuse and forget some of them. I decided to use this opportunity to master them properly.
Thinking I should get some practice in during this Deep-sea Region expedition, I rose from my seat and followed Hanalin and Jiyuchan.
“Shall we head out then?”
As I said this, I checked my status window to familiarize myself with my skills, then departed the Safe Zone Pureair with Hanalin and Jiyuchan, heading toward the cliff where Rahel had spent the entire day.

Not far beyond Safe Zone Pureair, near a massive cliff, there were fewer monsters than expected. Ordinarily, the cliff would have made an ideal hideout, but thanks to Baridus having transformed them all into puppets and absorbed them, few monsters remained in the vicinity.
This place wasn’t like a game where monsters simply respawned, so it was perhaps inevitable.
Because of that, the Dohyun Party was able to conduct a thorough search of the surrounding area.
However, they couldn’t find what appeared to be a Dungeon Entrance, contrary to expectations.
As I continued the search, I surveyed my surroundings with a puzzled expression.
“No matter how hard we look, it’s not showing up.”
“Could that villain have been lying?”
“Hmm.”
Hearing Hanalin and Jiyuchan’s words, I too stroked my chin with a deeply troubled expression. Since it was certainly possible that Jiyuchan was right about the deception, I examined the surroundings more seriously.
My Analysis picked up nothing no matter how carefully I looked, so I began to wonder if that was truly the case.
Of course, I hadn’t surveyed the entire cliff yet, so I couldn’t be certain, but this was my Analysis we were talking about. If I’d found something by now, it should have appeared, so I grew slightly uneasy.
Just as I wondered if that damned villain Rahel had desperately struggled to survive, and I was about to examine things more meticulously, I detected something through my Analysis.
Midway up the cliff, at a point only those who could use flight magic or move with exceptional agility could reach, I spotted a fissure that would escape notice without careful inspection. Or rather, it would be more accurate to call it a seam than a crack.
As I gazed at that peculiar artificial-looking spot, my Analysis revealed its nature.
[Analyzing the Temporary Shelter.]
[This is a Temporary Shelter that Hunters frequently used before the Safe Zone Pureair emerged nearby.]
‘What? In a place like this?’
Upon seeing that message, I gently pushed against what could be called the seam in the wall, and as the crack gradually widened, the interior space revealed itself.
Creak, creak, creak.
As a faint sound echoed and the interior opened up, I naturally stepped inside. Beyond lay a cave carved with geometric precision as if shaped by human hands, and following that passage led to a cozy chamber.
Quite impressed by the surprisingly comfortable resting space, I surveyed the area and discovered a Dungeon Entrance shaped exactly like the Black Gate.
“Oh.”
No wonder it was so difficult to find. I’d been searching only within Dungeons themselves, but a Temporary Shelter like this would naturally be hard to discover.
The Temporary Shelter was definitely equipped with perception-blocking magic and various other enchantments—it would have been nearly impossible for me to find without my Analysis. I suspected Rahel had managed to locate this place through information gathered from captured people or something similar.
After discovering it, I called out to Hanalin and Jiyuchan, who had been searching scattered across the area.
“You two! Over here!”
Not long after I shouted, Hanalin and Jiyuchan arrived, entering the cozy Temporary Shelter with considerable admiration.
“It’s definitely hard to find a place like this.”
“It’s better constructed than I expected. Though it does seem quite old.”
As Jiyuchan said, the Temporary Shelter certainly bore the marks of age. Considering that Pureair had been established over twenty years ago, it made sense that this place felt far older than that.
In any case, as I gazed at the Dungeon deep within the Temporary Shelter, I first activated my Analysis, and the familiar Dungeon description emerged.
[Analyzing the Distorted Fragment of the Black Door.]
『Distorted Fragment of the Black Door』
▶「A fragment of the Black Door created when the Black Gate was born, distorted by the influence of the Celestial Dimension.」
▶「You may enter through new rifts created by the distorted fragment within.」
▶「Placing your hand upon it allows entry for your Party only.」
▶「Upon correcting all distortions within and clearing the interior, the fragment is removed and rewards are granted.」
▶「Only one Party may enter simultaneously.」
Simultaneously, I read the wavelength emanating from the Dungeon and spoke to Hanalin and Jiyuchan.
“It’s an annihilation-type Dungeon.”
