Chapter 342

Part 2, Episode 8.

[You have passed the third gate.]

[Bonus points are awarded for breaking through at an exceptional speed.]

[The information you can obtain varies according to the bonus points.]

[The fourth gate begins.]

[Solve the problem within the time limit and escape from that location.]

….

[You have passed the fourth gate.]

-Wow, it’s like a gate highway pass.

-Is it real that they’re all being broken through in under 3 minutes? My heart feels so grand….

-I ordered chicken but at this rate the dungeon will end before the chicken arrives.

-There’s never been an exploration broadcast like this before. Is this exploration or tourism….

-Explorers watching this broadcast will probably get reality checks.

-For real, I’d feel like my life was being denied. If it were me, I would’ve quit being an explorer.

-Hey, then what does that make Mati who’s watching right next to them?

-Hmm, a broadcaster?

-But Mati seems to be enjoying it now too? He’s really become a proper broadcaster.

Had about 12 minutes passed since they started conquering the dungeon?

The chat room had become so light that you couldn’t find the word “tension” anywhere.

It couldn’t be helped.

The first gate’s key finding. The second gate’s trap breakthrough. The third gate’s escape room. Even the fourth gate’s quiz.

No matter what gate appeared, they broke through without the slightest hesitation, so how could there be any tension?

And Dohyun felt the same way.

[The final gate will proceed.]

[This is a gate where you must perform all the gates you’ve faced so far at once.]

[Break through the gate within 20 minutes.]

[Time limit: 20:00:00]

‘They’re all this type of gate.’

All of them are gates related to explorers like pathfinding or trap finding….

Usually gate-type dungeons have more traps than hunting, but even so, if there are about five gates, you’d expect at least one to be different.

‘Isn’t this actually good for the Owner?’

‘Rizariza!’

‘Well, that’s true.’

He wondered if it was okay to breeze through like this, but in fact it was only easy for Dohyun who had the Eye of Truth.

Objectively speaking, breaking through all these gates with just two people was hell-level difficulty.

After all, it was a hidden piece concealed in a quest given by Jaukub, a legendary explorer.

It wouldn’t be strange for it to be a dungeon that required a lot of explorer abilities.

“It’s this way.”

“Yes, Kaiser! I’m following well, so you don’t need to worry about someone like me!”

“…?”

The only problem, if it could be called a problem, was that at some point Mati had started saying strange things with sparkling eyes.

“Ah… Where is next? O god of exploration.”

“I was merely a common man who lived in places without you.”

“I simply believe.”

Moreover, the intensity of those strange words was getting stronger.

When they first broke through the first gate, he seemed uncertain, but from the moment they broke through the second gate his eyes changed, and now it had become almost like worship.

‘Hmm! What a promising fellow!’

‘…Sigh. I don’t know. Let’s stay away from them, Eliza.’

‘Riza?’

This pattern where Charlie was very pleased with him.

For some reason, this reminded Dohyun of a certain archer in a very familiar way, but he deliberately ignored it and focused only on the conquest.

Perhaps thanks to that.

[You have passed the final gate.]

[Bonus points are awarded for passing the gate at a miraculous speed.]

[The remaining time limit is converted to bonus points.]

They were able to pass the gate with an overwhelming record of 2 minutes and 12 seconds, which was even faster than before.

-Those who bet on over 3 minutes, hurry up and send god balloons.

-Didn’t someone bet 100,000 earlier? lololol

-Instant bankruptcy lol

-Hahahahahahaha they actually pulled it off.

[‘ThisIsntRight’ has gifted 100,000 god balloons.]

“Ah, everyone. I told you it was possible, didn’t I? This is what happens when you dare to doubt Kaiser. Hurry up and praise Kaiser.”

-Agreed agreed

-Why did Mati become a Kaiser believer?

-Mom, that guy’s eyes look weird.

-Hehe, he has sufficient qualifications to become a believer of our Kashin Church.

-I should mention this to the leader.

-Hmm hmm. Explorer believers are rare, but as expected, Kashin’s reputation knows no boundaries.

“….”

Dohyun let out a hollow laugh after seeing the chat.

He had been so focused on the conquest that he didn’t even know there was a bet going on, but it seemed he had unintentionally emptied someone’s wallet.

He hadn’t considered that unlike YouTube which makes money from views, Godddong Streaming’s income comes from god balloons.

“…Was there something like this earlier too?”

“Huh? You didn’t know? Let me see how many god balloons there are now. I think about 500,000 have accumulated… Keu, as expected of Kaiser. The attitude of a true explorer who isn’t swayed by material desires. This Mati is impressed once again.”

When he asked with a hopeful thought, the answer was as expected, and Dohyun scratched his head.

‘One god balloon is 10 won, so… I made 5 million won in just a few hours?’

Even after deducting fees and taxes, 4 million would come in.

He wondered if it should be this easy to make money just by turning on a broadcast and finding paths.

‘It doesn’t seem right to take all of this, so I should suggest splitting it in half.’

Usually when guests come on, it’s common to split profits 5:5 or 7:3.

In Mati’s case, he had proposed an exceptional 10:0 split, but since Dohyun wasn’t particularly short on money, he planned to split it appropriately.

“All of ThisIsntRight’s god balloons will go entirely to Kaiser, and all of today’s broadcast god balloons will go to Kaiser, not me, so if anyone wants to send them, feel free!”

[‘Kashin Church Believer No. 14’ has gifted 300,000 god balloons.]

[‘Kashin Church Believer No. 32’ has gifted 100,000 god balloons.]

….

[‘Kashin Church Believer No. 46’ has gifted 200,000 god balloons.]

[‘OppaPleaseTakeMe’ has gifted 70,000 god balloons.]

-Crazy, look at those god balloons coming up

-This is Kaiser?

-Wow… Are all the Kashin Church members rich?

-If our gratitude doesn’t reach Kashin, our Kashin Church will come looking for you.

-Warning, that’s scary as hell lol

-Those guys would really do that and more.

-If Kaiser seriously became a cult leader, he’d totally crush Shin*ji, wouldn’t he?

-How much is all that? My annual salary just went up.

-If you add up all of today’s god balloons, it’ll probably be more than your annual salary.

-You too? Hey, me too!

Until Mati’s decisive statement brought down a god balloon bombing.

Looking at the Kashin Church’s murderous warnings and god balloons, Dohyun seriously pondered.

‘…Should I start Godddong streaming too? I feel like I could make more money than YouTube.’

After thinking for a moment, Dohyun soon shook his head.

The Kashin Church was already burdensome enough in its abnormal state, and if he started streaming on top of that, he really would become a cult leader like the viewers said.

Well, aside from that, as someone progressing through the main quest, Dohyun was also reluctant to do regular live broadcasts.

‘Still, doing it once in a while wouldn’t be bad.’

He had prejudices about collaborations, but those prejudices seemed to have crumbled somewhat.

But that aside….

-But why isn’t anything happening?

-Didn’t we pass all the gates?

-They talked about some tomb of information and bonus points, but nothing’s coming out.

-Shouldn’t we be doing something instead of just waiting?

As the viewers said, it had already been 2 minutes since they passed all the gates, but no changes were occurring.

It was strange in many ways.

“Hmm, that’s true? Considering how the gates appeared one after another until now, it is a bit strange… don’t you think?”

“That’s right.”

It was when Mati and Dohyun were also feeling puzzled.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

Ding-

A message that appeared with a cheerful notification greeted Dohyun’s party.

“…What?”

“Huh?”

The expressions of Dohyun and Mati who saw the message contorted almost simultaneously.

They had no choice.

[You have passed all gates.]

[The intruder hiding in the tomb of information is flustered by the unexpected speed.]

[The intruder is trying to flee.]

[Enter the tomb before the intruder escapes.]

[Emergency Quest ‘Intruder of the Tomb’ occurs.]

-?

-??

-Intruder?

-Huh?

It was a message that none of the 54.123 million viewers had expected.

* * *

[Intruder of the Tomb]

-Grade : Emergency Quest

-Description : In the deepest part of the Refuge of the Blind.

There are those who have intruded into the tomb of information.

Stop the escape of those who came to this tomb forgotten by all, subdue them, and find out their purpose for coming here.

If even one intruder successfully escapes, the quest fails.

-Stop intruders (0 / 3)

-Upon quest success : Access to complete tomb of information, traces of intruders

A quest without even the risk of failure.

Usually in such cases, there was a high probability it would be an unremarkable quest, but Dohyun’s instincts were screaming.

‘I absolutely must clear this.’

That he must never fail.

He didn’t know the reason. But he had his own grounds.

This secret dungeon was the place he found as a hidden piece within a hidden piece.

Even the first entry message appeared, so there were intruders in a place that only Dohyun’s party should know about?

-The intruder hiding in the tomb of information is flustered by the unexpected speed.

Moreover, if Dohyun hadn’t broken through the gates quickly, they wouldn’t have even encountered them?

No matter how you looked at it, this could only be explained by there being something there.

Dohyun quickly looked around the walls with the eyes of a hawk targeting prey.

He thought that if they were hiding in such a structure, wouldn’t they be caught by the Eye of Truth.

[Eye of Truth activates.]

‘There!’

That thought was exactly right.

He discovered two red silhouettes in the shape of figures wearing robes beyond the left wall.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Dohyun drew and gripped Cheonbyeon.

[+15 Cheonbyeon transforms into ‘White Lion’s Snow Flower Sword’.]

As he simultaneously stepped forward with his right foot, an energy like Mount Tai rose from his toes, traveled up his ankle, and circulated through his entire body.

Did they sense the energy?

The movements of the two red silhouettes beyond the wall became frantic.

The 2nd Form Break of Reverse Heavenly Period, which needed 2 seconds of preparation time, would be too late.

‘Hup!’

But it didn’t matter.

What he was about to do wasn’t the 2nd Form of Reverse Heavenly Period anyway.

As Dohyun’s eyes flashed and he swung Cheonbyeon, brilliant light immediately burst from the sword, and in the blink of an eye, a single slash split the wall.

Crack-

Clean cut in two.

As if belatedly realizing it had been cut, the wall slowly split apart and soon came crashing down.

‘Bairan Swordsmanship 4th Form, One Sword.’

The fastest attack technique of Bairan Swordsmanship that he had mastered before catching Black Knight Garion.

It was the moment when a technique that could only be used once per hour was activated.

Though it was an instant technique imbued with the energy of Mount Tai from the 1st Form Begin of Reverse Heavenly Period, it had considerably threatening power, but Dohyun’s eyes were cold.

Whoosh-!

It was because of the red silhouette shooting toward him like a bullet from beyond the dust-obscured vision.
