Chapter 218
218: They Actually Enjoyed This Among Themselves!?(1)
At Baeryujin’s blunt remark, even Dohyun found himself at a loss for words. A three-person party without a Healer was genuinely dangerous—so much so that it would be unthinkable for any party except the Dohyun Party to attempt it. The standard practice was to operate with a full five-person party if you lacked a Healer.
In fact, all the Superior Race parties—the Hezway Party, the Celestial Party, and the Fallen Leaf Party—included a Healer in their composition.
As the conversation unfolded, all three members of the Dohyun Party began to look away awkwardly. Witnessing this, the other parties actually grew more tense watching the Dohyun Party than they were of Baeryujin.
And for good reason.
‘If they didn’t need a Healer, just how strong are they?’
‘Would Dohyun really avoid powerful opponents? That doesn’t seem likely.’
‘If that’s the case, all three members of those parties might even surpass the Golden Generation.’
Jerome, the leader of the Fallen Leaf Party, immediately tried to gauge their strength upon hearing about the Dohyun Party, while Ines and Hezway in particular couldn’t help but be astonished.
A personality that didn’t shy away from combat against strong opponents, yet they’d been without a Healer all this time—it was genuinely shocking.
Among those gathered here, the Golden Generation—the highest-ranked among the Superior Races—numbered two, yet even they wouldn’t dare attempt such recklessness. And with only three party members? It was practically suicide.
While everyone regarded the Dohyun Party that way, they were avoiding the subject, so Hezway stepped forward.
“…Let’s calm down for now and continue with the proceedings.”
Hezway’s sudden interjection was abrupt, yet no one voiced objections or disagreements. After all, the Dohyun Party’s story wasn’t the priority. Everyone gathered here understood that perfectly.
With that, Hezway moved to the next topic.
“We’ve introduced ourselves, but we’re still not in sync with each other yet.”
Everyone nodded at Hezway’s words. There was no way to refute that statement. This Attack Party had only just formed today, so it was only natural.
Of course, compared to other Attack Parties, they could adapt quickly and synchronize faster, but Davy Jones was an enemy where even subtle differences in coordination could determine victory or defeat, so thorough preparation was absolutely essential.
Since how to operate this Attack Party to synchronize fell to Hezway’s judgment, everyone nodded accordingly. Then Hezway, observing them, spoke.
“Of course we must synchronize. And I’ve determined that Area 1, the Shipwreck Graveyard, is the ideal place for that.”
Area 1? The Shipwreck Graveyard?
Just as the Dohyun Party was about to ask what that meant, Ines, Jerome, and even Baeryujin nodded in agreement and responded.
“Ah yes, the boss there would be more than sufficient for synchronizing.”
“The Lawless Fleet’s Dreadnought should be perfect for that.”
“If you’re talking about that shark bastard, it’s definitely worth testing ourselves against.”
“??????” “??????” “??????”
The Dohyun Party blinked in confusion amid their responses, clearly not understanding what they were saying. Hezway, seeing the bewildered Dohyun Party with an expression of complete incomprehension, addressed them.
“Why do the three of you look like that?”
At Hezway’s question, Dohyun wanted to know where to even begin, but thanks to Analysis, he could immediately grasp the situation and formulate his questions. Though his expression still bore the shock of revelation.
“Could you… explain what you mean by ‘Area’ and ‘boss’…?”
Though Dohyun had already learned through Analysis, he asked for the benefit of Hanalin and Jiyuchan. In response, the other parties looked at the Dohyun Party with bewilderment.
The fact that they didn’t know about Areas and bosses was quite shocking. They too blinked in confusion, and Hanalin, unable to bear it, asked in genuine confusion.
“Aren’t… bosses only found in Dungeons or zone bosses like in Davy Jones?”
“You don’t know about Areas—Field bosses?”
Ines repeated the question as if asking whether they truly didn’t know, and the Dohyun Party could only nod in acknowledgment.
While the others still reeled from shock and struggled to explain, Dohyun reviewed the information Analysis had provided once more.
[Within the Black Gate, each region contains a Central Area.]
[Near that Central Area, depending on the rank, there exist at minimum six Areas, commonly called Fields, and each Field has its own boss.]
[Because of these Fields, the Superior Races and high-level parties have no choice but to prefer locations near this Central Area.]
[In particular, even outside the Field, the closer one ventures toward the Central Area, the higher the probability of monsters dropping items.]
Dohyun couldn’t help but mutter under his breath upon reading that information.
‘Damn it.’
A curse was inevitable. The Dohyun Party had slain tens of thousands of monsters—perhaps even exceeding a hundred thousand. Yet the items that dropped from them were practically nonexistent.
At best, there were a few wanted posters? But now that I recalled them dropping as we approached the Central Area, I felt a burning rage ignite within me.
While Dohyun seethed internally, the others were explaining to Hanalin and Jiyuchan about the Areas and the bosses.
Both of them trembled visibly as they grasped these facts.
It wasn’t that their past efforts felt wasted, but the frustration of having missed a better path was unavoidable.
‘Why didn’t you tell us sooner!’
Such thoughts rose to the tip of my tongue, but there was nothing to be done. At least I knew now. So this was why the Superior Races showed no interest in the Outer Region. And this explained why equipment prices were so exorbitant on Earth.
Moreover.
‘They’ve been enjoying this among themselves!?’
Six Areas existed where the terrain shifted like a game, and bosses guarded each one—a place brimming with everything Dohyun loved.
As Dohyun’s irritation peaked, Baeryujin muttered in genuine surprise.
“You didn’t even know where it was?”
“No, how could we know without being told?”
“Hmm, so this information hasn’t reached your humanity yet…. Well, that’s possible for your kind. Then you’ve all been in the Outer Region, wait—hold on!?”
Baeryujin was nodding along when he suddenly noticed something amiss. His expression shifted to alarm as he looked at the Dohyun Party, his hands trembling as he asked.
“You’ve never obtained an Elixir even once?”
“…What’s an Elixir?”
Hanalin asked in Baeryujin’s stead, and Baeryujin let out a sigh before answering.
“When you defeat a Field Boss, an Elixir drops. It increases your physical body or mana depending on the Zone. But you’ve never consumed one even once?”
“Damn it! How could we consume what we didn’t know about!?”
Dohyun finally erupted at Baeryujin’s words, rising from his seat. Then he spoke.
“So you’ve all been enjoying this among yourselves this whole time?”
Flinch!
At Dohyun’s expression twisted with malice, even those who had endured his training hell and Baeryujin himself trembled. Normally, Hanalin and Jiyuchan would have shaken their heads in exasperation, but this time was different.
All three of them spoke with vicious eyes.
“We’re consuming all six Areas.”
At Dohyun’s declaration, uttered through gritted teeth, every member of the Attack Party found themselves nodding involuntarily.
* * *
Every Zone contained a Field, and these Fields were always concentrated in the area closest to the Zone’s center—a place known as the Central Zone.
The C-rank Zone contained six Fields in total, and the destination of Dohyun’s Attack Party was the Field called Area 1, just as Hezway had explained.
Everyone except the Dohyun Party had visited at least once, so there was no need for sightseeing or exploration. The Dohyun Party, however, was naturally an exception.
“So this is the Shipwreck Graveyard?”
“It certainly deserves the name.”
“Exactly.”
This was our first time entering the Field itself, let alone the Shipwreck Graveyard. Everything felt novel. The fact that entering the Central Zone required registering the Attack Party at an entrance blocked by a Stone Tablet was fascinating in itself.
Attack Parties typically consisted of around thirty members, but Dohyun’s Attack Party had only sixteen. Amusingly, Baeryujin, one of them, wasn’t officially recognized as a Party member, so the registration listed it as a fifteen-member Attack Party.
Regardless, as the Dohyun Party entered the Central Zone, they could distinctly feel the difference. If I had to make a comparison.
“It’s like a Dungeon without subordinates.”
“The mana concentration and density are definitely on a different level.”
“It’s certainly different from outside.”
As the Dohyun Party analyzed the area and conversed among themselves, Hezway approached and offered them a brief explanation.
“That’s why some call this place the ‘Deep Sea.'”
“Oho? That’s certainly a fitting name.”
“‘Deep Sea’ suits it perfectly.”
“The mana itself definitely has a murky quality to it.”
As Jiyuchan’s final words suggested, since this was a zone teeming with monsters, everyone felt the turbid nature of the mana. Regardless, they hadn’t come here for sightseeing, so Hezway, the commander of the Attack Party, addressed everyone.
“As I explained before we came, we need to find the wanted posters for the Lawless Fleet, Dreadnought first. We’ll split up by party, hunt, and the party that obtains them will signal the rest of us.”
Everyone nodded at Hezway’s words. Since this had already been discussed before entering, their response was swift. Following Hezway’s signal, everyone split into their respective parties and set out in different directions to explore the Shipwreck Graveyard.
And yet, even as they did.
‘Unbelievable. They’ve grown this rapidly without even knowing about Area 1….’
One of the reasons the Superior Races and quite powerful mid-tier races couldn’t abandon the Central Zone was growth itself.
Elixirs were one thing, but because this zone produced all manner of items, growth was inevitable. To put it in terms of my Analysis, there was no hunting ground sweeter than this for raising stats.
That’s why they discriminated against and rejected other races—to monopolize the pie here.
Yet the Dohyun Party had demonstrated growth speeds rivaling the Superior Races even without knowing about the Central Zone. Now that they possessed information about it, perhaps.
‘Could they grow even faster here?’
Hezway held onto that anticipation as he watched the Dohyun Party receding into the distance.
His expression brimmed with curiosity about what they would accomplish.
