Chapter 39
Chapter 39: A Dungeon Inside the Black Gate? (2)
Park Insu couldn’t help but feel a bit flustered.
For those with even a modicum of Hunter experience, being captivated by the mere mention of a Dungeon was perhaps inevitable. After all, it was only natural that Hunters would be drawn to Dungeons.
There was simply too much to gain within a Dungeon.
Not only could one reliably obtain items that would normally drop from Monsters at extremely low rates, but with luck, one might even acquire non-tradeable skill manuals that couldn’t be purchased with points.
In martial arts terms, it was akin to stumbling upon a treasure trove.
If one were fortunate enough to obtain secret techniques left behind by masters of old, the analogy would be clear. A Dungeon was precisely such a place—a location where even Heterogeneous Beings would drool with anticipation.
However, a Dungeon in a place teeming with Villains was something all Hunters would inevitably hesitate over.
Especially in this E-rank Zone.
The Floating Island itself, lacking any Safe Zone, already evoked the image of a death game akin to a battle royale, and now a Dungeon there?
Any sane person would naturally be reluctant.
But was there anyone sane in Dohyun’s Party? As they all gazed at Park Insu with evident interest, he had no choice but to provide an explanation.
“For reasons unknown, this Floating Island is renowned as a region where Dungeons frequently spawn. However, most Dungeons only permit a single Party to enter, so for groups like ours—divided into two Parties of three—Dungeon activities become disadvantageous.”
“I see.”
“The Party that enters would be at a disadvantage, certainly, but a three-person team in a place overrun with Villains would be genuinely perilous.”
“Might as well be prey.”
As Dohyun, along with Hanalin and Jiyuchan, analyzed it that way, Park Insu could only nod in agreement. The structure was inherently unstable.
Indeed, now that it came to this, the inconvenience of not being a full Party was becoming apparent.
Had Park Insu’s Party not been the Guide Party originally, it too would have been a full five-person roster.
So it was with that in mind that Park Insu addressed the three of them.
“Let’s ignore most Dungeons and focus on hunting in the Field instead.”
Though it wasn’t entirely to their liking, Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan could only nod in agreement.
It wouldn’t matter if it were just Dohyun’s Party’s problem, but since they hadn’t yet grasped the atmosphere of this place, they had to travel with the Guide Party.
Later, if they operated separately, that would be another matter.
In any case, once Dohyun’s Party consented, Park Insu could finally feel some relief.
As a Guide, he’d been tasked with leading them well and keeping them alive as much as possible—something essential for Park Insu, who aspired to be like Han Muyeol.
Once Dohyun’s Party agreed, he could finally breathe easier.
Though only briefly.
“Then shall we go hunting now?”
“…?”
At Dohyun’s bold and spirited words, Park Insu and all the Guide Party members blinked their eyes wide and exchanged glances with one another.
Typically, the first day was spent resting and observing the atmosphere, but he wanted to go hunting immediately?
All three were taken aback by the suggestion, but Hanalin and Jiyuchan, as if already prepared, rose from their seats and looked toward the Guide Party.
As if to say: what else would we be doing?
Seeing them, Dohyun had no choice but to stand as well, prompting the others to rise one by one.
And as they actually began to leave, the other two looked at Park Insu, their eyes silently questioning.
‘Is this really okay?’
‘Shouldn’t we try to stop them?’
‘….’
However, Park Insu found himself unable to speak.
The madness gleaming halfway through Dohyun’s eyes left him with no confidence to stop him.
And so the Dohyun Party and Park Insu’s Guide Party left Floating Island Radon and entered the Portal heading toward Floating Island Parabi.
And for some reason, since Dohyun’s Party had no points, Park Insu paid the 500-point entrance fee on their behalf.
* * *
Floating Island Parabi.
Like other public floating islands, it was a place devoid of Safe Zones and teeming only with Monsters.
A place without beginner-exclusive hunting grounds like in games was extraordinarily difficult for those newly entering E-rank Zones to adapt to.
Even Heterogeneous Being Hunters required several days of adjustment upon first reaching E-rank Zones.
The reason was that due to the characteristics of floating islands, most Monsters possessed aerial mobility. Even those without wings could glide for extended periods, making this E-rank Zone exceptionally challenging for anyone without aerial combat experience.
Unless one belonged to a race specialized in aerial combat, everyone had no choice but to undergo an adjustment period here.
So why was it?
Park Insu—no, Park Insu and all members of the Guide Party found themselves unable to utter a single word at the spectacle unfolding before their eyes.
“….”
“….”
“…What are we even looking at right now?”
Even at his final teammate’s words, Park Insu remained silent, his gaze fixed on the Dohyun Party’s battle.
The first Monster to appear was none other than a Floating Spirit—quite formidable even by Parabis Island standards.
Despite its name, it wasn’t a true spirit; it resembled a mist, yet from within that haze emerged horrifying tentacles, teeth, and a gaping maw that materialized suddenly—truly grotesque creatures.
The problem was that their forms resembled mist so closely that they were difficult to distinguish.
Even if one noticed them, they drifted through the sky wielding superior mobility, attacking with tentacles like whips, making them troublesome opponents. Moreover, they didn’t roam alone but traveled in groups of at least five or more, creatures most would avoid engaging.
Yet the Dohyun Party immediately began hunting the moment they spotted the Floating Spirits.
Six of the creatures appeared—more than expected. Park Insu’s Party attempted to assist, but Hanalin stepped forward first, swiftly seizing the opportunity.
She unfurled a magic circle, transforming the space above the Floating Spirits into a sea of flames.
Intermediate Elemental Magic, Bursting Wall—true to its intermediate tier, it tactically sealed the sky perfectly, preventing the creatures from ascending further.
“Kekekek!”
“Kirik! Kiririk!”
Several creatures, noticing her, shrieked in fury and lashed out with tentacles like whips, the air splitting as they exceeded the sound barrier, attempting to rupture a sonic boom.
Or rather, they attempted to.
Had it not been for Jiyuchan, sword in hand, rushing forward with blinding speed.
Tap-tap-tap-tap-tap.
Jiyuchan’s feet moved rapidly, striking the ground in quick succession as he dashed, and in an instant, he swung his blade against the whip-like tentacles with a single, decisive stroke.
The sword’s movement, tracing an arc, was nothing short of pristine, and every tentacle caught within its trajectory was severed cleanly.
Thud, thud-thud.
Strands of tentacles fell like rain, yet none present paid it any mind.
As Jiyuchan severed the tentacles and attempted to retreat, the remaining Floating Spirits with intact tentacles quickly lashed out again, attempting to ensnare him—when something gleaming with brilliant light reached the creature’s face in an instant.
In the moment all eyes fixed on Jiyuchan cutting down the whip-like tentacles, Dohyun, having activated Concealment and Dark King’s Swiftness to move faster than anything else, swung his greatsword.
With muscles swollen to bursting through mana manipulation and the sharpness amplified by the lower-tier general magic Sharpness, he unleashed a single, decisive slash, and light erupted as the trajectory carved through the void.
Screeeech————
Two of the six creatures were cleaved in half, and the remaining four, their tentacles completely severed, writhed in agony.
“Screeeech!?!”
“Screech!!!”
“Screeeeech!!!”
Yet their thrashing against the pain didn’t last long.
The moment Dohyun swung his sword to strike all six creatures and even cleaved two in half, Hanalin and Jiyuchan moved in perfect synchronization—spears of wind materialized in midair, piercing through two of them and destroying their cores, while Jiyuchan launched himself like a projectile, simultaneously bisecting the remaining two creatures.
In mere breaths, the Dohyun Party had hunted down all six Floating Spirits in a single sweep, leaving Park Insu’s party utterly speechless.
Though Park Insu’s party had been assembled according to Association orders, they were still hunters with considerable experience operating at the E-rank level, so they could certainly hold their own in combat.
But could they accomplish what the Dohyun Party just did?
Absolutely not.
“Wow, that’s incredible.”
“Phew. I don’t think even my own party could pull off something like that….”
“….”
While Jeong Sangyun and Kim Jinha clicked their tongues in admiration, Park Insu couldn’t even open his mouth.
Despite being on the verge of promotion from E-rank to D-rank, Park Insu recognized that he himself couldn’t accomplish such a feat.
Park Insu, who ranked among the upper echelon of E-rank hunters.
He swallowed hard at the sight.
If he was among the upper ranks.
‘Then that party must be at the very pinnacle….’
He suspected they could hunt without difficulty even if they advanced to D-rank immediately.
As Park Insu entertained these thoughts, all the pride he’d harbored internally crumbled to dust.
Of course, he hadn’t shown it to the Dohyun Party or held his head high, but somehow the self-promotion he’d done about his imminent promotion felt unbearably embarrassing.
He’d thought they were an impressive party, but he never imagined they’d be this formidable.
Even with aerial combat experience, he’d assumed they’d need some time to adapt to Parabis Island, yet they hunted as if adaptation was entirely unnecessary—it made him wonder if there were any hunters more naturally talented than these.
And yet Dohyun’s expression remained somewhat dissatisfied, his face not particularly bright. Despite executing the hunt nearly flawlessly, he seemed unsatisfied? As this thought reached Park Insu, he couldn’t help but reflect on himself.
‘Here I was, proudly thinking about my promotion to D-rank….’
He was content merely reaching D-rank, yet these hunters displayed superior combat prowess and still weren’t satisfied. This was something he needed to learn from.
As Park Insu reflected inwardly, contrary to his expectations, Dohyun continued staring at the message floating in midair with a dissatisfied expression.
[Your party has defeated a total of six 『Floating Spirits』.]
[You have obtained a total of 300P.]
[You have obtained a total of 300AP.]
‘This is ridiculous.’
His dissatisfaction stemmed from the meager point earnings.
Had Park Insu known, he might have wept tears of blood, but Dohyun, regardless, scratched his head while staring at the paltry points and pondered.
‘When will a Villain show up?’
He scanned his surroundings but found no notable Villains, so he exhaled a sigh of disappointment.
Well, the Bat-Human Hybrids from last time were probably just a stroke of luck, he thought, and resolved to focus diligently on hunting.
While Dohyun concentrated on hunting, there were eyes watching them from a considerable distance away—eyes that had only flashed past momentarily, so even Dohyun failed to notice them.
But soon those gazes vanished, turning elsewhere.
