Chapter 92
Chapter 92: Basement 3rd Floor, and…? (2)
After hearing Bruton’s account in considerable detail, I thanked him, and he dismissed it as nothing before we parted ways.
Once the Bruton Party had left, I turned to Hanalin and Jiyuchan, who had heard the same story.
Synthesizing everything Bruton had told us, the situation was straightforward.
“We don’t know what type of dungeon it is, and it’s one that no one has cleared in ten years…”
“It does seem rather dangerous.”
Jiyuchan muttered while listing the information, and Hanalin spoke while acknowledging the risk.
Yet even as Hanalin spoke of danger, her eyes gleamed with considerable intrigue, and Jiyuchan’s expression betrayed equally keen interest.
As for me? Naturally, I wore the satisfied smile of someone who had heard a most gratifying prospect.
But the Dohyun Party was not ignorant of the facts.
We understood well enough that a renowned location in the D-rank Labyrinth Region that no one had cleared in ten years would certainly be dangerous.
Yet gathering information before entering was impossible.
Once you entered a dungeon, you could not leave until you cleared it.
In other words, those who failed to emerge from a dungeon were as good as dead.
That was why Hanalin and Jiyuchan were both hesitating.
We wanted to go, but the danger was undeniable.
As we all deliberated, I spoke.
“Let’s at least go check the dungeon entrance first.”
“That’s a good approach. By reading the mana wavelength emanating from the entrance, we won’t understand it perfectly, but we can get a sense of what we’re dealing with.”
“Sounds like a solid plan.”
Since Hanalin’s reasoning offered room for analysis, both agreed with my suggestion, and after traveling in the direction Bruton had indicated, we finally discovered it.
The ominous dungeon entrance.
The moment Hanalin and I saw it, we could sense that the mana flowing from it was distinctly different from any other dungeon.
Was it because this dungeon had consumed countless Hunters and remained intact for ten years?
After analyzing the mana for some time, Hanalin raised both hands and spoke.
“Hmm, all I can tell is that it feels ominous.”
As Hanalin looked to me for my assessment, I swallowed softly and gazed at the Analysis message before me.
[Analyzing the ‘Distorted Fragment of the Black Door’.]
『Distorted Fragment of the Black Door』
▶「A fragment of the Black Door that was born with the Black Door’s creation, distorted by the influence of the Celestial Dimension.」
▶「Within, you may enter through a new rift caused by the distorted fragment.」
▶「Place your hand upon it, and your party may enter.」
▶「Upon correcting all distortions within and clearing the fragment, it will be removed and you will receive rewards.」
▶「Only one party may enter simultaneously.」
This much was identical to what I had seen before.
As I attempted deeper analysis, the message that appeared was extraordinary.
▶「The longest-surviving fragment among D-rank distorted fragments.」
▶「As a conditional dungeon, hidden conditions have been unlocked, significantly raising its difficulty.」
▶「This distorted fragment has consumed a total of 27 parties thus far.」
‘A 27-member party.’
By full-party standards, this dungeon had swallowed at least 135 hunters whole, and since no one had challenged it in the past five years, that meant it had devoured roughly 135 D-rank hunters on the verge of promotion—the cream of the crop who’d been thriving for five years straight. Just hearing about it sent chills down my spine.
I studied the Analysis results, biting my lip as I contemplated the situation.
A conditional dungeon—something the Dohyun Party had yet to experience.
Conditional dungeons were notoriously difficult because identifying the condition itself was grueling, and if you failed to meet it, you’d wander aimlessly. Some were considered even harder than boss-type dungeons, making them exceptionally treacherous.
That’s why I judged it doable.
‘Finding the condition is the hard part with conditional dungeons, but I can spot it immediately.’
Unlike other hunters, I possessed Analysis—a legendary cheat ability that granted me the insight to recognize conditions at a glance.
With that thought, I turned to Hanalin and Jiyuchan and spoke.
“I think it’s a conditional dungeon.”
“A conditional dungeon?”
“Hmm, yeah, that would make sense.”
“That’s…”
“By comparing the mana I felt from the boss-type and defense-type dungeons before, I noticed the mana pattern here is slightly different. If you look closely, Hanalin, you’ll be able to tell too. Here, look.”
Before Hanalin could even ask how I knew, I beat her to it with an explanation.
Hearing my explanation, Hanalin grew increasingly focused. Jiyuchan, not wanting to miss anything, was also trying to discern the difference based on what I was saying.
“Boss-type dungeons have one powerful monster, so the mana pattern shoots out from the gate like a piercing thrust. Defense-type dungeons, on the other hand, have mana flowing chaotically, creating a wave-like sensation, right?”
“Ah.”
“Hmm?”
As I explained, they tried to discern it themselves, and it was unmistakable.
In defense-type dungeons with countless monsters, mana flowed like waves, while boss-type dungeons with only one creature emitted orderly mana—my explanation was precise.
When Hanalin immediately sensed the mana flowing from this gate, it was different from both boss-type and defense-type. It was structured, yet it twisted ominously and spread throughout the surroundings.
That distinct sensation, different from the mana monsters emitted, allowed both Hanalin and Jiyuchan to grasp the pattern.
So that’s how we could identify it as a conditional dungeon.
Since this classification method wasn’t widespread information in South Korea yet, Hanalin and Jiyuchan looked at me with surprise.
“Just who are you, Dohyun?”
“…I’m speechless.”
Brushing off their acknowledgment, I began formulating a strategy.
“Conditional dungeons are difficult, but there’s no way it could be so hard that it devoured that many parties. Which means…”
“Right. That means we need to consider what kind of subordinate might be involved.”
“Hmm, it could be a subordinate that makes it hard to identify the condition itself.”
As the three of us put our heads together, I nodded in agreement.
What we’d uncovered so far was already a significant achievement, but we didn’t stop there.
Hanalin pulled out the notebook she always carried and spoke.
“Why don’t we first identify what kind of subordinate might interfere with recognizing the condition in a conditional dungeon? We all know a fair bit about subordinates anyway.”
Hearing Hanalin’s suggestion, Jiyuchan and I nodded.
After all, the Hunter Training Center had classes on subordinates, and after becoming hunters, we’d gathered information from direct experience and prepared accordingly.
Jiyuchan and I leaned more toward the latter approach.
Since we’d left the Training Facility after just a week, we had some gaps in our knowledge, so we’d studied supplementary materials like textbooks.
We’d mostly reviewed them during downtime at the Dormitory.
As Dohyun and Jiyuchan nodded in agreement, Hanalin began jotting down notes about the Subordinates, discussing them as she wrote.
She then listed the most troublesome Subordinates from the conditional Dungeon, falling into contemplation.
There were three Subordinates that seemed particularly problematic.
The first was.
“The Subordinate of Directional Loss. Unlike spatial awareness, this one causes terrible navigation skills—I’ve heard that conditional Dungeons mostly involve moving around in various directions to complete tasks, so this could be somewhat disadvantageous.”
“Still, if we use the detection we’ve developed while training spatial awareness, it should be manageable.”
“That seems right.”
The Subordinate of Directional Loss certainly seemed manageable, and the next Subordinate they discussed was.
“This one’s problematic too.”
“Hmm.”
Speaking thus, they examined the second Subordinate Hanalin had listed.
“The Subordinate of Party Fragmentation is quite difficult.”
The Subordinate of Party Fragmentation.
True to its name, it was a Subordinate that began the moment you entered the Dungeon—you’d be torn away from all other Party Members except yourself.
Though it was considered weaker compared to other Subordinates, in a conditional Dungeon where you had to figure out what the Quest was and fulfill its conditions like a game, it could be quite challenging.
But Dohyun spoke as if it wasn’t a concern.
“We’ve always had a small Party anyway, so we should manage this fine. The real worry is Narin.”
“…It’s true that a Mage without a vanguard is somewhat concerning.”
“Still, I think she’ll manage well.”
Hanalin answered spiritedly, and both Dohyun and Jiyuchan nodded in agreement.
Considering Hanalin’s magic abilities now, it certainly wasn’t something to worry greatly about.
Dohyun also nodded, acknowledging this.
Even without a vanguard, she was an exceptionally powerful Mage, so he set aside his concerns and examined the final Subordinate.
“Hmm, this is the real problem.”
“This one is the most difficult.”
“Hmm.”
All three swallowed hard, murmuring as they looked at the final Subordinate they’d listed.
[Subordinate of Amnesia]
It was none other than the Subordinate of Amnesia—a Subordinate where your previous memories disappeared while in the Dungeon.
It was one of the most terrifying Subordinates in any Dungeon.
The only saving grace was that you didn’t forget your combat techniques.
Even if you forgot your Party Members, in defensive, annihilation, or boss-type Dungeons, having this Subordinate active was manageable since there was a clear objective, but conditional Dungeons were different.
You’d forget the very intention to understand the conditions and even forget who you were, yet your combat power remained intact—essentially becoming a strong Hunter afflicted with amnesia wandering around like a living bomb.
You’d become a bomb yourself.
Wouldn’t you simply survive in the Dungeon without ever knowing the conditions?
The Dohyun Party could only think instinctively upon seeing that final Subordinate.
“This has to be it, doesn’t it?”
“…Definitely.”
“I can’t think of any other reason why it hasn’t been cleared until now.”
All three shared the same opinion and fell into contemplation.
At this difficulty level, it would have been far better not to enter at all.
Because of this, Dohyun pondered briefly before speaking to the other two.
“I do have a method in mind. How about you hear it first, then decide whether to enter?”
At Dohyun’s words, Hanalin and Jiyuchan looked at him, saying they’d listen first.
Yet their eyes were brimming with trust as they regarded him. Given the abilities and resourcefulness Dohyun had demonstrated thus far, they couldn’t help but believe in him.
So Dohyun began explaining to the two who trusted him, and they could only nod in agreement as they listened.
After a lengthy briefing, Hanalin and Jiyuchan’s heads nodded in unison, and soon they spoke.
“We’ll trust you, Dohyun.”
“I trust only you.”
With those words, they all placed their hands above the Dungeon, and as expected, Dohyun saw the message appear.
[You have entered the Distorted Fragment.]
[The burden of the Distorted Fragment begins.]
[Analyzing the burden.]
[Identifying the burden of amnesia.]
Just as anticipated, it was the burden of amnesia, and the moment Dohyun’s memories were stripped away, another message surfaced.
[Analyzing Dohyun.]
[All memories are restored.]
At that message, Dohyun smirked, his eyes regaining their clarity.
‘Just as I predicted.’
Everything unfolded exactly as Dohyun had anticipated.
But what he hadn’t foreseen was this.
‘Where did they go?’
Jiyuchan and Hanalin, who should have been with him after entering the Dungeon, were nowhere to be seen. Analysis revealed what had happened.
[The time elapsed while analyzing Dohyun was 32 minutes and 50 seconds.]
“What?”
Somehow, the burden of Party separation had occurred as well.
