Chapter 348

Part 2, Episode 14.

[The Veil has been activated.]

[A veil of darkness is created that only the caster and those permitted by the caster can enter.]

[Permitted targets]

-Colossal Chimera of Obsession

-Mati

-Jihad Black

-Charlie de Ravion

-Eliza

“What the hell is this….”

Mati, who had suddenly found himself inside the veil, muttered in bewilderment.

The existing scenery had completely disappeared, and everything around was nothing but darkness.

But it was strange.

Kieeeee!!!

The boss that had gone berserk from the sudden situation,

-Eliza, want to make a bet with me?

-Risa?

-I’ll hide. If you find me here, I’ll give you my crystal orb that you’ve been coveting. But if Eliza loses, you’re banned from being in Owner’s pocket for a whole day!

-Risa!? Rizariza!

-Too sneaky, you say? Eliza, where did you learn such words? Oh, from me? No, Eliza has good eyes. You might be able to find me.

-…You. Even I think that’s too underhanded.

That boss wasn’t even on their radar, and the Guardians were busy chattering among themselves.

And Kaiser, who was sighing while watching them.

It was clearly a dark space where you couldn’t see an inch ahead, yet strangely, their figures could be seen clearly.

…To be precise, except for the Necromancer Guardian who was completely black.

Unlike Mati, who was stunned by the supernatural phenomenon that defied common sense, Dohyun was calmly staring ahead.

[The effect of the title ‘Darkness Destroyer’ is activated.]

[All stats increase by 10%.]

Another effect of Darkness Destroyer that activated when the surroundings became dark.

‘I can definitely feel more power.’

Befitting the cheat-level option that increased all stats by a whopping 10%, he could already feel the difference.

As he was smiling while loosening his lightened body.

[Conditions have been met.]

[You can use the second option of the Black Knight’s Dark Armor inside the Veil.]

‘Shall we begin?’

Dohyun, who confirmed the message, grinned and lowered his stance.

Then his back flickered like flames, and soon two pairs of black wings spread out.

[Authority of Darkness – Two Pairs of Wings has been cast.]

[While the black wings are spread, darkness-related abilities are greatly enhanced and physical abilities are increased.]

[Straight-line instantaneous acceleration is explosively amplified, and you can stay airborne for a certain period of time.]

[Abilities are amplified due to the title ‘Darkness Destroyer’.]

[All effects increase by 20%.]

-Crazy… what is that?

-That’s Kaiser? He’s so different from just now

-The aura is insane.

-Black lightning and black wings flickering like flames? Ugh, the black flame dragon inside me…!

-The wings look so cool ㄷㄷ when combined with black dragon mode it looks fierce.

Dohyun’s appearance no longer looked human.

A predator glaring at its prey in the darkness, or a black demon.

Had it instinctively sensed danger?

Kieeeeeee!!!

The boss that made eye contact began screaming and backing away.

Blocked by the wall of darkness and unable to retreat further, its trembling body looked pitiful.

Facing such a creature directly, Dohyun took a step forward.

[Reverse Heavenly Period]

[1st Form, Beginning is cast.]

Step by step.

With each approach, Dohyun’s presence grew larger, and before long, he had closed to within 10 meters of the chimera.

They say a cornered rat will bite a cat.

Kieeeeeee!!

Perhaps thinking that only death awaited at this rate, the boss suddenly let out a shriek and began swinging its massive arms.

—-!

Just by swinging its four arms, the air burst and wind pressure shot out.

A perfect demonstration of the principle that weight equals power.

But Dohyun didn’t retreat.

Parrying wasn’t necessary either. It wasn’t worth the effort.

Flutter-

He simply spread his wings and took a step forward.

Kieee!?

With just that, the distance was closed in an instant.

It was the combined effect of amplified physical abilities, the wings’ mobility, and various buffs.

The creature desperately attacked using not only its four arms but also its head, legs, and torso, yet no attack could reach Dohyun.

[Reverse Heavenly Period]

[1st Form, Beginning is cast.]

And each time, the energy of Reverse Heavenly Period grew more solid within his body.

This was the most overpowered part.

The biggest dealing skill and main technique of Reverse Heavenly Period was the 2nd Form, Destruction.

While it boasted tremendous performance the moment it activated, the weakness of having too easy a countermeasure always held it back.

Against fast or highly intelligent enemies, it was impossible to activate without applying a bind.

Flutter-

But inside the Veil, the story was different.

Whether stepping on air or ground, the energy of Reverse Heavenly Period accumulated the same way.

Considering the long airtime using wings and free movement in the air, combat power inside the Veil would be on a different dimension from outside.

[Hero skill ‘Acceleration’ is used.]

[Attack speed and movement speed increase for 40 seconds.]

[Haste is used.]

[Movement speed increases by 2-% for 80 seconds by imbuing the body with wind energy.]

[Swift Footwork is used.]

[Speed related to footwork increases by 15% for 100 seconds.]

To make matters worse, what if he added Kayana’s dagger speed buff options and acceleration skills on top of this?

It would truly be the start of one-sided damage trading.

If he utilized Black Lightning Flash as well, it would be hard to get hit even if he wanted to.

But Dohyun had no intention of doing such trivial things.

How fast he could become wasn’t what mattered.

Right now, he was curious about only one thing.

‘I don’t know my own damage output.’

He had defeated Black Knight Gariohn and gained many spec upgrades.

That part was good.

The problem was just that there was no suitable opponent to test how much stronger he had become.

And now.

[Colossal Chimera of Obsession]

-Title: Hero-grade Elite Dungeon Boss

-Type: Chimera

-Traits: Tenacious Vitality, Tough Skin, Accuracy, Corpse Separation, Damage Distribution

-Description: A horrific hybrid created from the grief and obsession of the Blind Ones.

Characterized by brute strength from its massive frame, high vitality, and damage distribution, it would likely take a considerable amount of time to defeat.

A sturdy-looking sandbag had appeared right before him.

Out of five traits, a whopping three were related to vitality and defense.

Among them, damage distribution was a trait that always ranked high when listing disgusting boss characteristics, so his expectations were very high.

‘Let’s see. Whether it can withstand it or not.’

As if hearing Dohyun’s inner thoughts.

[The dungeon boss, ‘Colossal Chimera of Obsession’ uses the trait ‘Corpse Separation’.]

[The dungeon boss, ‘Colossal Chimera of Obsession’ uses the trait ‘Accuracy’.]

A trait that partially separates the corpses composing its body and an overpowered trait that guarantees hits when throwing something.

And even the brute strength forged from the weight of hundreds of corpses.

The creature that let out a desperate-sounding roar tried to prevent Dohyun’s approach in desperation.

Swooooosh–!!!

Watching the countless corpses flying toward him, tearing through the air, Dohyun spread his wings and slowly rose into the air.

Stopping in mid-air and looking up, he saw countless corpses falling like a meteor shower.

Dohyun calmly readjusted his grip on Heavenly Transformation.

Swoosh-

Then, as always, he brought down his sword,

[You cast the 2nd Form of Reverse Heavenly Period, Break.]

The energy circulating within his body exploded, shattering everything before his eyes.

Dohyun’s maximum strike, pushed to its limits with all kinds of buffs, had erupted.

The Break that erupted was different from before.

Kwagagagaga-!!

If before it felt like cracks gradually forming from applied shock, now it pierced through space like being hit by a fastball.

It was the effect of darkness attributes raised to their limits combined with physical abilities heightened to their peak.

Jjeoong-

Kwadeudeuk!

Countless corpses shattered and scattered before they could even make contact, and a bone-crushing, spine-chilling sound echoed throughout.

That was the creature’s last memory.

When Break ended, only terrible darkness remained.

This boss ended up being the same as well.

‘Sigh. I’ll have to go to the New Continent to properly find out.’

Dohyun sighed, saying he had gotten his hopes up for nothing, and reached out his hand.

Since the boss strategy was finished, it was to lift the veil.

The moment he was about to deactivate his ability.

[You have defeated the dungeon boss, ‘Colossal Chimera of Obsession’.]

[You have cleared the Secret Dungeon ‘Refuge of the Blind’.]

[It will be recorded in the Adventure Log.]

[You have defeated a new type of boss on first encounter.]

[All stats increase by +6 due to Predation effect.]

[You have leveled up.]

[Congratulations. You have reached maximum level.]

A festival of countless messages unfolded above his head,

‘Yes! As expected of a Secret Dungeon! I believed in it!’

Dohyun, who had reached the max level he had so desperately wanted, expressed his inner joy while trying not to show it outwardly.

How much had he suffered until now for this moment.

Now he could finally escape the tiresome field and meet new monsters.

That alone already felt liberating.

‘Congratulations, Master. I believed you would accomplish it!’

‘Rizariza!’

‘Keuruk keuruk! Congratulations Owner. Can we finally go to the New Continent now?’

‘Of course. Accepting that collaboration proposal was indeed a stroke of genius.’

Dohyun smiled pleasantly at the Guardians’ congratulations, and was just about to tell Mati to exit the dungeon immediately.

[You have reached graduation level. A graduation Quest is being generated.]

[The continent’s trial….]

….

‘Huh?’

Dohyun paused at the unexpected notification.

It was the moment when the graduation Quest, which he had forgotten about since he hadn’t seen it for a while, appeared.

* * *

Meanwhile, just before Dohyun checked his graduation Quest.

[The Veil disappears.]

“Good heavens….”

As the wall of darkness disappeared and the scene was finally revealed, Mati gasped.

As if a storm had clawed through it, everything before his eyes was miserably shattered.

[You have defeated the boss of Secret Dungeon ‘Refuge of the Blind’, ‘Colossal Chimera of Obsession’.]

[You have cleared Secret Dungeon ‘Refuge of the Blind’.]

[It will be recorded in the Adventure Log.]

The only thing intact was the message window floating above.

The viewers seemed equally shocked, as chat messages poured in like a flood after a beat of delay.

-Wow. Holy shit….

-What the hell did I just see?

-Crazy, one shot for real?

-What the fuck is this.

-No way, why did a boss with damage distribution die in one hit.

-This is so absurd my head is spinning.

-Kaiser, is he a god? Kaiser, is he a god? Kaiser, is he a god?

-There’s a Player who can one-shot a tanking boss? Ppyusyung ppasyung ppyusyung

-Holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit

-What?

-What happened? I just came in. I didn’t see it so I don’t know, why is everyone going crazy?

-Hey, what the hell happened?

-Holy shit… I can’t believe it even seeing it with my own eyes. What the hell did I just witness?

-Damn it, I can’t take it anymore. I need to go join the Kashin Church.

The chat room was in complete chaos.

The chat was moving so fast that even Mati, who thought he had gotten used to it during his collaboration with Kaiser, couldn’t read it properly.
