Chapter 42

Chapter 42: I Can Just See It? (1)

After meeting with the elves, when Dohyun said he had found something, the party followed him without question wherever he led them.

Soon, they discovered what appeared to be the entrance to a strange ruin where the ground had risen up not far away.

Upon finding it, a long arc formed on Dohyun’s lips, while shock appeared on the faces of the other party members. Was a dungeon really something you could find just by looking for it?

It was hard to believe, but hadn’t Dohyun actually found one? They couldn’t help but believe it.

Though this was Dohyun’s first time seeing a dungeon, he was able to quickly understand it using his analysis ability.

And he could also learn the exact name of the dungeon.

‘So when stone tablets become distorted, they turn into dungeons.’

It was quite interesting that dungeons were distorted fragments completely opposite to the stone tablets that always existed in Safe Zones.

Well, that wasn’t what was important right now.

After figuring that out, Dohyun looked at the other party members and fell into brief contemplation.

If only one party could enter, naturally Dohyun’s party should be the one to go in. Even if this was an E-rank Zone, a dungeon was still a dungeon, so he couldn’t expect Park Insu’s party of only three people with only Park Insu being exceptional to clear it.

Then what should Park Insu’s party do here?

“We need to come up with a strategy.”

“A strategy?”

When Park Insu asked back like that, Hanalin nodded and quickly grasped Dohyun’s intention.

And she explained it on Dohyun’s behalf.

“Our party has to go in anyway, but he’s probably thinking about what to do with Park Insu’s party. Even if we clear it quickly, it’s only a matter of time before this place gets discovered.”

“Oh no, but if we leave, to defeat the elves…”

He wanted to say it would be insufficient, but Park Insu cut his words short in case it might be rude. Dohyun readily acknowledged it.

“Fighting 10 elves after clearing the dungeon would be too much no matter what. So we need to think of a strategy. I’ve been thinking, how about this?”

Everyone listened carefully to Dohyun’s words, and soon Dohyun explained his strategy.

It wasn’t a very complicated strategy.

“I’m interfering with their detection right now, but when we enter the dungeon, that will be released and we’ll be discovered quickly. Then, targeting that moment, if Insu hyung returns to Radon first, they’ll figure that out too, and the dungeon will be exposed. They’ll suspect that we’ve entered. Then Insu hyung, who returned to Radon, quickly requests help and comes back, and when we clear it and come out, we’ll hit them with a diversionary tactic.”

Everyone had to agree with Dohyun’s strategy.

It was the cleanest strategy for now. They didn’t know how many would come even if they requested support, but it was still better than not doing it. Park Insu nodded.

And at the mention of requesting support, both Hanalin and Jiyuchan also looked satisfied.

The number of elves that Hanalin and Jiyuchan would have to handle right away was quite large, so if support came, they would definitely have some breathing room.

So they familiarized themselves with the entire strategy and proceeded according to plan.

Not much time had passed, but things really went as Dohyun had said.

When Dohyun, who had been interfering with detection using ultrasonic waves, entered the dungeon, detection activated normally and the elves were able to witness both Dohyun’s disappearance and Park Insu taking the Portal, resulting in Jerpael’s elves heading toward the dungeon.

And as time passed, after putting in the support request, not knowing what would happen, Park Insu returned first before Jeong Sangyun and Kim Jinha could bring support together, and was waiting in surprise at how things had gone exactly as Dohyun had said.

He waited for support to come quickly while earnestly hoping that Dohyun would safely exit the dungeon.

‘Please be safe.’

Dungeons were usually set for a difficulty of five people, so he was worried. In his head, he thought Dohyun would have no problems, but just in case, Park Insu waited while praying inwardly.

Dungeons.

For Hunters, they are treasures that cannot be exchanged for anything else, but conversely, they are poisoned chalices that take Hunters’ lives.

Every dungeon places a burden on the entering party and tries to annihilate the party.

However, most Hunters don’t think they’ll be the ones to fall when they see a dungeon.

You would probably be the same.

I hope you don’t get consumed by dungeons while trapped in the arrogant thought that you won’t be the one to fall.

Swoooooosh———

Thus, when Dohyun’s party placed their hands on the door, it seemed as if such a sound could be heard from somewhere.

Since this was their first time entering a dungeon, they couldn’t even tell if this was normal or a special case, but along with the sound came an irresistible suction force that felt like even their souls were being drawn in. When they came to their senses, their location had changed.

Had they been moved to the dungeon?

With that thought, they tried to regain their senses and look around.

However, they couldn’t see their surroundings at all.

“I can’t see…”

“…ahead.”

Hanalin and Jiyuchan spoke with slightly trembling voices, seeming quite shocked.

They say that vision accounts for more than half of human senses.

Perhaps because of that, Hanalin and Jiyuchan couldn’t easily regain their composure and were quite confused. The sudden blocking of vision even though they had entered knowing about the burden.

It was a structure that inevitably created fear.

While Hanalin and Jiyuchan were trembling with fear and bewilderment like that, Dohyun was equally flustered.

Though for slightly different reasons.

‘What is this?’

He wasn’t surprised simply because he couldn’t see ahead.

Rather, he was surprised because he could read most of the information.

The burden of vision blocking.

It didn’t end with just knowing the exact type of burden.

‘Guide for the Blind?’

It even told him the dungeon’s mission.

Naturally, since Dohyun had also completed education at the Training Facility, he knew quite a lot about dungeons.

‘It seems to be a boss-type dungeon.’

Dungeons can usually be divided into four types: annihilation, conditional, boss, and defense types, and this appears to be a boss-type dungeon.

Annihilation types are literally dungeons where you kill all the monsters inside, conditional types are dungeons with special conditions like breaking through a maze without monsters appearing. And defense types are dungeons where you protect a stronghold or something designated.

And the last boss type was the most straightforward compared to other dungeons.

A dungeon where you just need to kill one boss.

That’s why the majority opinion was that it was considerably more difficult than other dungeons.

‘Boss types are supposed to be the hardest.’

Of all things, this is what we got.

And we got the most troublesome debuff too.

The visual blocking debuff was definitely one of the more difficult debuffs to deal with.

But what could be done now that we’re already inside.

We have no choice but to do it.

After all, if we don’t do it, we can’t even escape from here until we die.

Wasting more time here would just be wasteful.

Having no choice, Dohyun looked at the two who were now slowly coming to their senses and said.

“Let’s go for now. There’s a passage over there.”

“…We need to be able to see something to go.”

“Let’s come up with a plan first.”

At Dohyun’s words, Hanalin and Jiyuchan responded with slightly trembling voices, as if they hadn’t fully regained their composure yet.

Then suddenly.

Hanalin, whose brain had been slightly paralyzed by the fear of having her vision blocked, noticed something strange.

Something that Dohyun had said casually, making it naturally slip by.

Hanalin asked Dohyun back with confusion.

“Huh? But how do you know there’s a passage there?”

“…Wait? Can you see something?”

“…Huh?”

Even Dohyun let out a confused voice as if something was strange.

Come to think of it, why can I see?

When Dohyun showed a flustered reaction while having such thoughts, Hanalin and Jiyuchan stood quietly with dumbfounded expressions.

Since they couldn’t see Dohyun, they turned their heads toward where his voice was coming from.

“I, I just looked and could see it?”

“…Hah.”

“…Phew.”

At Dohyun’s words, it seemed like both of their blood pressure rose as some crackling sounds could be heard for some reason.

Anyway, thanks to Dohyun, both of them were able to escape from their panic. Instead, anger seemed to be welling up, but that wasn’t Dohyun’s concern either.

While ‘looking’ at such companions once again, Dohyun momentarily noticed something strange.

Despite it being a visual blocking debuff, he realized how exactly he was able to see.

‘Ah, echolocation!’

Ever since obtaining echolocation, he had always been spreading ultrasonic waves around like this, doing detection and analysis simultaneously. It had become such a habit that he did it so naturally that even with his vision blocked, he felt like he could see without any trouble.

That’s why he couldn’t feel much difference.

Dohyun scratched his head and explained this to them.

When he told them about the Bat-Human Hybrids he had met and killed just yesterday, saying he had learned echolocation then.

“…No, how does a human learn echolocation???”

“…Is that even possible?”

When both of them looked at Dohyun as if looking at some monster, the misunderstood Dohyun cleared up the misunderstanding.

While it was true that he had easily obtained it through analysis, it was still a technique that humans could sufficiently use. In fact, since he couldn’t learn gliding because he didn’t have wings, this was also proof that echolocation could be sufficiently used.

So Dohyun explained based on his analysis.

“So if you collide mana together and use that as a basis to spread ultrasonic waves, receive the echoing signals and analyze them, you two should be able to use it too?”

“…The principle of colliding mana to create vibrations… is that it?”

“Hmm, I think I heard that a technique called sword resonance is used in a similar way…”

Hearing this, it certainly didn’t seem like an impossible principle, so both of their anger subsided a little.

Dohyun nodded with some relief.

Then Hanalin asked another sharp question.

“But how do you understand the echoing ultrasonic waves?”

“Can you even sense the returning ultrasonic waves in the first place?”

“Huh? I can do it though?”

“…”

“…”

Both of them fell silent again, and Dohyun had no choice but to turn his head away while seeing expressions that seemed to be glaring at him for some reason.
