Yeo Joo Saves the World
Part 2, Episode 20

The vast plains were absolutely advantageous terrain for the Minotaurs.
It was an excellent stage where they could accelerate and charge at any moment.
Lee Yu Eul was the first to fall victim to their erratic movements.
“Ugh!”
“Lee Yu Eul!”
Jang Su Ho shoved his shield roughly against the Minotaur that was about to finish Lee Yu Eul by trampling her.
In that moment, Lee Yu Eul rolled across the ground, pulled herself back, and quickly picked up the machete that had been flung far away before rising to her feet.
“Lee Yu Eul, are you okay?!”
“I’m fine! That bastard took a critical wound to the thigh!”
Lee Yu Eul, her pride wounded, shouted with her neck veins bulging as she tried to charge at the Minotaur she had just clashed with.
But the creature had already retreated far away, hiding itself among the herd.
“Damn it!”
It was when Lee Yu Eul, unable to contain her fury, was about to recklessly charge forward.
“Don’t get caught up with them!”
Lee Yu Chan, shooting arrows from a distance, called out a warning.
I froze.
At my twin brother’s cold voice, I stopped the movement that would have sent me leaping into the midst of the Minotaur herd.
“Damn it.”
I cursed at myself for nearly losing my reason in that instant.
My pride stung, but my twin brother was right.
I had almost fallen for their shallow trick.
“Thanks, Lee Yu Chan.”
There was no way my voice could carry in this downpour.
Yet I saw Lee Yu Chan’s mouth curl up on one side.
“Damn, how do we take down these cattle bastards.”
Reluctant as I was to admit it, they were cunning.
While one charged forward as bait, creating chaos, the others scattered throughout attacked the humans from behind.
Their bodies were massive, yet their speed was terrifying.
I could see them thundering toward me clearly, but I was too busy escaping the range of their attacks.
“Yu Eul, are you alright?”
Han Ji Sung, who had drawn close beside me, asked without taking his eyes off the Minotaurs.
“Yes.”
“Good, then let’s attack again.”
A calm voice chanted the incantation.
“Ice Spear.”
In an instant, the rain pouring from the sky transformed into hundreds of razor-sharp needles that cascaded down upon the herd of Minotaurs.
Splinter!
“Kwaaaaaaah!”
Their hardened carapaces burst open, spraying black blood in all directions.
The panicked formation of the creatures crumbled, and the one that had dealt Lee Yu Eul a critical blow finally collapsed with a heavy thud.
Since it hadn’t oxidized to ash, I hadn’t killed it outright—but the damage was severe enough to bring it down.
That was sufficient.
“They’re all finished!”
Lee Yu Eul raised her machete high and charged toward the herd of Minotaurs.
But the curved blade that flashed in attack wasn’t aimed at the fallen one.
It was directed at the creature near the brush where Lee Yu Chan was hiding.
The one that already had an arrow lodged in one side of its head.
Slice!
With that clean, cold cutting sound, Lee Yu Eul smiled.
The sensation transmitted through her fingertips told her that her strike had already succeeded.
“Mwaaaah—!”
As the creature’s leg below the left knee was severed, its massive body tilted to the side.
Thud!
Having forced one creature to tumble across the ground just as she herself had done, Lee Yu Eul immediately hurled herself toward the monster beside it.
Han Ji Sung watched as Jang Su Ho and Sung Yo Na rushed in that direction to assist Lee Yu Eul, then channeled his mana once more.
“Ice Field.”
From his hand pressed against the ground, an ice sheet rose with thick, towering ice spikes hanging like the tail of a meteor shower, rapidly surging toward the herd of Minotaurs.
Splinter!
“Kwaaah….”
One of the Minotaurs that had been lying on the ground was pierced by the ice spikes of the Ice Field and began to oxidize black.
Panicked, the remaining three creatures began to flee in different directions to escape the ground where the ice spikes were sprouting.
But their escape wasn’t going as planned.
“Crack!”
Sung Yo Na’s hands came together sharply with a clapping sound.
In the blink of an eye, the three Minotaurs had somehow returned to the center of the ice field.
“Mwuh…?”
Unable to comprehend this phenomenon, the Minotaurs could only stare blankly at one another.
They had definitely escaped to the edge of the ice field?
Why are you here?
And you—why are you?
In that moment, forgetting they were even in combat, a large shadow fell over the creatures’ heads as they gazed at their companions in confusion.
One of them belatedly looked up, but saw only the afterimage of something falling rapidly.
Boom—!
“Kraaaagh, gack!”
Jang Su Ho’s full weight bore down through his eternal steel shield, folding the Minotaur’s body beneath it nearly in half.
After that, there was only the predetermined sequence to follow.
Once pinned to the ground, there was no escaping Han Ji Sung’s assault.
The Plains were no longer favorable terrain for the Minotaur.
“Mooooooooo—!”
One Minotaur cried out to its leader, black blood streaming from its body.
But the leader, Kenta, could not answer that call.
Rather, he could do nothing at all.
“Grrr….”
Kenta, the Dungeon’s master, could barely move his fear-stricken eyes as he gazed up at the sky.
Rumble, rumble.
The sky was roaring.
As it always did in the Ure Dungeon.
But this time was different.
The human before him raised his right hand high.
Having already experienced it once, the Minotaur Kenta understood the meaning of that gesture and staggered backward in terror.
“M-mooo….”
Flash— Rumble!
White and blue lightning erupted from the sky directly overhead.
The human clenched his empty hand in the air.
In the next instant, lightning created by the sky itself was held in the human’s grasp.
Crackle, crackle—!
“Mooooooo!”
Seeing the brilliant electrical discharge, the leader Minotaur began to flee without thought.
It was instinct—to escape the Plains it had dominated and hide itself in the Forest.
But that wish would not be granted.
Kang Han drove the lightning in his hand deep into the Minotaur’s back with all his strength.
“Grraaagh…!”
With a final cry as if his throat were being strangled, the leader Minotaur’s massive frame collapsed to the ground.
Boom.
A thunderous sound shook the Plains.
“Grrr, grrr.”
The Minotaur convulsed, limbs flailing wildly, thrashing as Kang Han drew ever closer.
I watched the monster with indifferent green eyes and muttered to myself.
“Three times should do it.”
My right hand rose slowly toward the sky once more.
Rumble, rumble, rumble.
The sky began to emit a long, resonant cry again.
“Let me finish this quickly.”
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Three bolts of lightning struck in rapid succession, converging into a single point to form a radiant, sun-like electric discharge.
It was the last thing the leader, the Minotaur Kenta, ever witnessed.

[ Congratulations!
You have successfully defeated the Dungeon’s master! ]

“Ah, it’s over.”
Fortunately, the Dungeon was cleared without requiring me to lift a finger.
I had expected the five A-rank monsters to give us quite the struggle.
“Well, those beasts certainly had terrible luck.”
For Kang Han, who wielded electrical currents, the Ure Dungeon—where lightning fell endlessly from above—was essentially a perfect home ground.
He likely didn’t even need to use his skills.
And then there was Han Ji Sung.
With water continuously falling from the sky that could be frozen into ice, there was no need to generate a separate medium for his attacks.
That was precisely why we could squeeze the Ure Dungeon into our schedule before the planned Desert Dungeon.
For other guilds, the difficulty might vary, but for the Justice Guild, the Ure Dungeon was actually an exceptionally low-difficulty type.
I had just risen from the flat rock where I’d been sitting, watching the guild members approaching from the distance, when it happened.
A new system window suddenly materialized before my eyes.
