Chapter 67

 

Chapter 67: A Dungeon in the Labyrinth? (2)

 

The first dungeon he’d seen since the Blind Guide.

 

He had discovered one early in the E-rank dungeon and this was the first time since then, but he didn’t feel like it had been a long time. Rather.

 

“Are dungeons found more often than I thought?”

 

Dohyun didn’t feel they were particularly rare when he said this.

 

Both Hanalin and Jiyuchan wanted to agree with that statement, but based on their knowledge, that definitely wasn’t the case.

 

Dungeons were valued precisely because they weren’t commonly seen, yet for some reason Dohyun’s party seemed to discover them quite frequently.

 

But that wasn’t particularly a complaint.

 

Rather.

 

“We’re lucky, aren’t we?”

 

“Dungeons are usually found maybe once if a person stays in the Black Gate for an entire month. So yes, we’re lucky.”

 

“Dungeons also have good rewards.”

 

Since they could definitely obtain at least one textbook and one item, it would be foolish not to enter.

 

So Dohyun, Hanalin, and Jiyuchan looked at each other as if to say “what’s there to discuss, let’s go,” and nodded simultaneously.

 

Naturally, Dohyun took the lead, and Hanalin and Jiyuchan seemed a bit nervous, wondering what kind of burden this dungeon would have.

 

After all, last time the burden was blindness, and they had relied considerably on Dohyun because of it. So they were quite tense about what kind of burden this one would have.

 

In contrast, Dohyun didn’t seem particularly worried.

 

Whatever burden came, Dohyun had his Analysis skill.

 

There really wasn’t anything to worry about.

 

When Dohyun stepped forward first and touched the dungeon door, and Hanalin and Jiyuchan also touched the door, they all felt the powerful suction force and the confusing sensation of space being turned upside down that they had experienced before.

 

Shwiiiiiiing————

 

Along with feeling the spatial confusion, Dohyun’s party, having experienced this once before and adapted somewhat, looked around first and found that their vision wasn’t impaired like before.

 

Since the first thing to do when entering a dungeon was to figure out what the burden was, Hanalin and Jiyuchan quickly tried to sense the burden but noticed a strangely odd sensation.

 

And unlike those two, Dohyun could immediately tell what the burden was by looking at the message that appeared before his eyes.

 

“Hmm, it seems like the burden is somewhat confusing spatial awareness?”

 

Both nodded at Dohyun’s words.

 

Their spatial awareness was completely messed up, giving them a nauseating dizzy sensation, but after a short while, Hanalin seemed to have adapted as her complexion looked somewhat more comfortable.

 

The burden of spatial disorientation.

 

To put it differently, you’d be looking forward but suddenly have the illusion of looking backward, yet you couldn’t actually see behind you, and then when you turned your head again, it felt like you had turned your head upward.

 

Of course, it was only a sensation, and your vision was accurately seeing the direction you turned your head toward, but it was quite a powerful burden that even disrupted your sense of balance.

 

However.

 

“Ugh, it’s a bit dizzy, but since the vision itself remains the same, it’s somewhat okay once I adapt to the spatial balance.”

 

Hanalin was a mage, so wasn’t she in a profession that required relatively less movement?

 

Perhaps that’s why she could adapt relatively quickly, looking somewhat comfortable. But Hanalin looked at Dohyun and Jiyuchan with a worried voice and asked.

 

“But more than me, are you guys okay?”

 

The burden of spatial disorientation might be the kind of burden a mage could quickly adapt to, but for Dohyun and Jiyuchan who moved their bodies directly, this spatial awareness was quite important, so when Hanalin asked this, sure enough, Jiyuchan was barely standing but looked like he might collapse at any moment.

 

It seemed like warriors and swordsmen who used their bodies would adapt faster, but the constantly changing spatial awareness was never easy to adapt to.

 

Spatial awareness was literally one of the most important elements for those who moved their bodies.

 

How you moved your body was all connected to spatial awareness, so when that suddenly broke down, Jiyuchan couldn’t get his bearings.

 

“I think I’m going to die.”

 

Jiyuchan, who rarely complained, had never had such a hard time.

 

At this rate, even fighting would be difficult. For Hanalin, who was a mage, even without spatial awareness, she could just use tracking magic or wide-area magic.

 

If Jiyuchan was this bad, wouldn’t Dohyun also be in trouble? Thinking this, Hanalin looked at Dohyun with worried eyes, and Dohyun looked back at Hanalin just fine.

 

“Why?”

 

“…?”

 

But Dohyun was standing strangely fine, and Jiyuchan was looking at Dohyun as if seeing a monster.

 

The more sensitive your senses, the more you should feel this lack of spatial awareness, yet Dohyun, whose senses were more developed than Jiyuchan’s if anything, was perfectly fine. Seeing both of them looking at him strangely, Dohyun blinked and said.

 

“Um, I think it’s because I’m spreading mana around me and sensing based on that?”

 

Between detection, ultrasonic detection, and detection using Analysis, since he was objectively observing himself and the space around him as if looking down from above even in normal times, it was easy for Dohyun to adapt even without the spatial awareness inherent in his body.

 

There was no adaptation needed to begin with. He could just be the same as usual.

 

Even if one element was missing, there were too many ways for Dohyun to sense spatial awareness.

 

Seeing Dohyun so fine, Jiyuchan felt frustrated and tried to straighten his trembling legs somehow.

 

To objectively project the space by spreading mana around him as Dohyun had said.

 

As he did this, detection gradually worked and Jiyuchan adapted somewhat, but he couldn’t help his whole body trembling.

 

Shiver shiver.

 

Still, seeing that he was getting better and could walk without difficulty, both Dohyun and Hanalin looked around.

 

It was to figure out what type of dungeon this was. Around them was something like a large altar, and they could see flames burning brightly on top of it.

 

When Hanalin and Jiyuchan discovered this, Dohyun could also see a message along with the flames.

 

“Hmm, this seems to be….”

 

When Dohyun trailed off like that, Hanalin continued.

 

“It looks like a defense-type dungeon, right?”

 

A defense-type dungeon commonly structured like defense games. At least it wasn’t a tricky or difficult mission since you only had to defend.

 

However.

 

“This is a disaster.”

 

The comparison to a defense game meant that monsters would pour out at regular intervals, and it could be considered disastrous to fight while bringing along Jiyuchan, who was practically unable to battle.

 

D-rank already had large variations in difficulty. Moreover, dungeons were typically designed with a difficulty level for five people, so it seemed like it would be difficult for just the two of them to handle.

 

However, who were these remaining two?

 

“If we install a bunch of magic spells, it should be relatively easy to block the waves.”

 

“Hmm, installation-type magic. If we use mental magic, it would be possible even without installation types.”

 

“Yes, that’s right. So Yuchan oppa, please rest for a bit.”

 

“It’s difficult right now, so please bear with it.”

 

As Dohyun and Hanalin had such a conversation and spoke as if it would be fine, Jiyuchan also felt somewhat relieved and spoke with an apologetic expression.

 

“I’m sorry for not being helpful. I’ll try to adapt quickly.”

 

Jiyuchan said this while moving his arms and legs, trying to gradually get used to the sensations.

 

To put it in comparison, he could feel that he was moving his limbs, but he had almost no sense of direction regarding which way they were moving, so he could only confirm his body’s movements by looking with his eyes.

 

Even when he tried to spread mana to figure things out, it wasn’t easy since he wasn’t familiar with it yet.

 

In place of such Jiyuchan, Dohyun and Hanalin assessed the surrounding terrain.

 

First of all, this place was like a plain that was completely open to the altar, unlike the D-rank Zone Labyrinth.

 

Dohyun and Hanalin looked at it and reacted as if it was troublesome.

 

“It would be troublesome if they swarm from all directions.”

 

“Should we build walls for defense?”

 

“Hmm, they probably can’t easily break walls, but if there are walls, they’ll probably go around them.”

 

Since the monsters’ intelligence wasn’t particularly outstanding, they thought that if they built high walls, the monsters would probably go around them.

 

Well, if they tried to break the walls.

 

“Rather, if we concentrate the installations around the walls and create just one entrance, we can limit the entrance even if we waste some magic, so that seems better.”

 

“That sounds like a good idea.”

 

“Then I’ll create the walls. First, install the magic spells with mental power.”

 

At Dohyun’s words, Hanalin nodded and waited for Dohyun to create the walls.

 

Although it would consume considerable mana, Dohyun drew up as much mana as possible.

 

An amount of mana that even surprised Hanalin for a moment surged forth all at once as Dohyun used magic along with mental power.

 

He combined the intermediate elemental magic Rock Wall, which makes the ground rise, with mental power, casting magic to build the wall even more solidly and higher.

 

Then.

 

Kugugugugugu——!

 

The ground around the altar began to rise and soon settled thickly around the area like a castle wall.

 

He created one entrance in front of the altar and erected massive, thick walls around the perimeter.

 

The thickness was roughly 5 meters, and the height soared to at least 20 meters, so this could be called excellent defense.

 

Hanalin looked at this and used flight magic to soar up, gripping her staff and installing numerous magic spells around the castle wall-like barrier.

 

The magic Hanalin installed was mainly spells that made spikes rise from the ground and spells that made spikes protrude from the wall when touched, which she installed with mental power added.

 

This should be enough to easily block approaches.

 

And given this structure where the entrance was clearly visible, they thought the monsters would probably rush toward this side.

 

When the two people who had finished most of their preparations returned to the altar, Dohyun looked somewhat tired in the process.

 

“Phew, it’s not easy.”

 

“It seems like you used most of your mana for that…”

 

“About two-thirds? But my recovery is fast, so it’ll fill up quickly. Though I don’t know when they’ll come.”

 

When Dohyun said this, Jiyuchan, who had been sitting and meditating to somehow objectively perceive spatial sense, spoke with his eyes closed.

 

“I’ll try to adapt quickly.”

 

It was a voice filled with considerable regret, but Dohyun and Hanalin were thinking of such Jiyuchan as being out of combat for now.

 

Rather than believing he could do it and including him in their plans, it was wiser to somehow block things among themselves first.

 

Dohyun and Hanalin devoted themselves to mana recovery until the monsters came swarming.

 

How much time passed like that?

 

About 30 minutes after entering the dungeon, massive dust clouds rose in the distance and countless footstep sounds began to be heard from afar.

 

Thududududu——

 

The first wave was about to begin.
