Chapter 35
‘So it was these guys who discovered the undiscovered dungeon.’
To complete the Quest, he had to head to that dungeon.
However, it was an undiscovered dungeon that hadn’t been found by users yet.
Before his regression, when Lee Hwa Rang had performed the Quest, it was right after the dungeon had been discovered for quite some time, but now it remained as an undiscovered dungeon.
‘Perfect.’
An undiscovered dungeon meant that it hadn’t been cleared even once yet.
In other words, hunting the boss monster would guarantee a 100% item drop.
If he remembered correctly, this dungeon wasn’t a mini dungeon that one person could enter, but a dungeon that required 3 or more people to enter.
Since the number of people was just right, there was no reason for Jung Hoon to refuse the proposal.
“Well then, let’s go in.”
Johannesburg took the role of party leader.
When he entered the portal, a message appeared in front of Jung Hoon.
[The party leader has applied for dungeon entry. Do you accept?]
With Ppripong, Jung Hoon had set it up so he could decide everything, but this party required all party members to agree before entering the dungeon.
When Jung Hoon agreed, the portal flashed brightly and swallowed them up.
[Lv.52 White Fang’s Den]
The dungeon level was 52.
Normally, it would be right to form a party of 6 or more including a healer.
Johannesburg at level 78, Canvasra at level 75.
For levels under 100, when there’s a difference of more than 20 levels from the dungeon level, an option is granted that greatly increases all stats.
So for those two, a healer wasn’t necessary.
Of course, it was a different story for Jung Hoon.
‘It’s here.’
At the end of the dungeon, Vulcan’s equipment would be lying around.
That made sense since the guys who had robbed the blacksmith were attacked by White Fangs and dragged into this dungeon.
They were probably lying around as corpses next to the boss.
“Grrrowl! You humans! Where do you think you are to come in here?”
[Lv.50 White Fang]
Nearly 100 of them at that.
Creatures hiding in trees and bushes with glowing eyes.
And the leader White Fang commanding them stood on a rock, glaring at Jung Hoon, Johannesburg, and Canvasra.
“There are more than I thought?”
“Indeed.”
Johannesburg and Canvasra were completely relaxed.
With a level difference of more than 20, they received buffs that increased all their stats, while the White Fangs received debuffs that decreased all their stats.
“It’s dangerous, so please stay behind.”
“If anything happens, please shout.”
Jung Hoon was thoroughly excluded from this battle.
He was simply there to fill the numbers.
Of course, Jung Hoon wasn’t one to just stand and watch.
‘There’s no reason to waste time.’
Jung Hoon took out the Red Dragon Bone Bow and pulled the bowstring.
Then he released the bowstring toward the leader standing on the rock.
Whoooosh!
The shot arrow flew in a parabolic arc and pierced exactly through the leader’s forehead.
[Critical Hit has occurred.]
The White Fang’s weak point was the head.
A critical hit occurred as it pierced through the forehead, the soft part of the head.
“Kek!”
The White Fang’s body with its head pierced slumped sideways and rolled down from the rock.
As the leader White Fang died instantly, the White Fangs that had been hiding and watching the situation fell into confusion.
[White Fang falls into ‘Confusion’.]
Jung Hoon skillfully pulled and released the bowstring again.
This time, the arrow precisely pierced through the forehead of a White Fang hiding in the forest.
[Critical Hit has occurred.]
Another critical hit.
‘I need to beat down more of them.’
There were too many of them.
In times like this, he would add Magic Missile to increase firepower.
Jung Hoon recited the incantation and activated Magic Missile.
“Uh…?”
“What is that?”
Johannesburg and Canvasra froze in place while holding their weapons.
How can a level 34 Martial Artist shoot a bow that well?
He doesn’t even have a quiver.
When he draws the bowstring, an arrow appears out of nowhere.
“Hey… doesn’t this seem strange…?”
While he was staring blankly, Canvas poked his side.
Johannesburg snapped back to his senses.
“It is definitely strange…”
“Right? Damn, how does a level 34 kill a level 52 White Fang in one shot? And he’s a Martial Artist too?”
===
[Player Information]
-Nickname: Hoon
-Level: 35
-Class: Low-grade Martial Artist (1st)
===
No matter how you look at it, he’s a low-grade Martial Artist.
His level was 34, but he must have leveled up from hunting the White Fang as it became 35.
Even so, there’s a level difference of 17 with the White Fang.
One-shotting a White Fang that’s 17 levels higher?
They’d never heard of such a thing.
Whoosh!
Regardless, Jung Hoon continued hunting White Fangs.
[Critical Hit has occurred.]
One White Fang falls with each arrow.
“Hey! Look at that!”
While admiring his archery skills, Canvasra tactlessly pointed somewhere else.
He felt annoyed for a moment.
“What is it… Huh?!”
Johannesburg, who was about to snap at him, lost his words.
A bluish mass was pummeling a White Fang like a boomerang.
“That’s a Magic Missile!”
Canvasra, being a mage, recognized the Magic Missile at a glance.
But the problem was that he, the mage, hadn’t cast any magic.
Which means…
‘No way that Martial Artist… it can’t be.’
That was too much.
Then who cast that Magic Missile?
No matter how he thought about it, the only caster could be that Martial Artist.
“Aren’t you going to help?”
Jung Hoon’s words snapped Canvasra out of his thoughts.
Currently, Jung Hoon was hunting White Fangs alone.
Johannesburg and Canvasra, who had boasted loudly about just watching when entering the dungeon, were absorbed in spectating rather than hunting.
“Ahem, we’ll join in too!”
Johannesburg drew his great sword and rushed forward.
Following him, Canvasra created a Fireball and threw it at a White Fang, joining the battle.
* * *
For a party of 3 or more, the spawn rate of White Fangs was unusual.
The path they’d traveled was littered with White Fang corpses.
‘Not bad.’
His initial targets were Johannesburg and Canvasra.
Their role ended with entering the dungeon.
So he planned to deal with them immediately and leisurely clear the dungeon.
‘But then how would I be different from those bastards.’
Jung Hoon’s real purpose was to end the game.
He didn’t want to backstab them like they did.
Since they hadn’t even picked a fight, dealing with them wouldn’t make sense, so he changed his target to the boss-level White Fang.
That choice was successful.
Despite being common-grade 1st class, Johannesburg and Canvasra had decent hunting sense.
Johannesburg the warrior went forward to draw aggro, while Canvasra provided firepower from behind.
And Jung Hoon leisurely shot his bow, hunting White Fangs one by one.
Thanks to this, they reached the Boss Zone faster than expected.
“…Hey.”
Johannesburg spoke to him for the first time since entering the dungeon.
He hadn’t said a word while focusing on hunting until reaching the Boss Zone, so this was the first time.
“What is it?”
“Are you really a Martial Artist?”
“Can’t you see the player information?”
“…No, how does this make sense? Why are you so good with a bow? And even Magic Missile… what exactly are you?”
“I’m a Martial Artist. I learned this skill as a Martial Artist exclusive skill.”
“That makes sense…”
Johannesburg also knew how extremely difficult the process of learning skills through Strong Will was.
This was the reason why everyone avoided this profession.
Not only did it lack proper skills, but the special skill they threw at you was Strong Will.
“Ahem, anyway, about the reward.”
Canvasra joined the conversation.
“Let’s split it 33% each.”
Jung Hoon proposed dividing the shares equally.
The two pondered for a moment, then nodded their heads.
“Understood…”
“Thank you.”
Initially, they had planned to just fill the numbers with Jung Hoon and split the reward 50-50 between themselves.
Also, the subjugation difficulty wasn’t that high, so it was sufficiently possible to clear.
However, Jung Hoon hunted like crazy, making 70% of the contribution up to now his share.
With the remaining 30% being theirs, it was awkward to divide the reward, but since Jung Hoon brought up splitting it 33% each first, they couldn’t object.
“Then let’s go in.”
Jung Hoon took the lead and entered the Boss Zone.
In front of them, a Giant White Fang was crouched down.
[Lv.70 Giant White Fang]
However, his eyes were not on the boss, but on the corpses beside it.
Above the corpses’ heads, a single question mark was blinking.
[General Quest: Bandit Rex]
-Restriction: Users who completed Woo Gang’s Quest
-Reward: Stolen goods
-Description: The small-scale Rex Bandit Group was wiped out by White Fang attacks. Defeat the Giant White Fang and retrieve the goods they stole.
Correct.
Through this Quest, he would be able to commission smelting from blacksmith Vulcan.
Jung Hoon accepted the Quest.
“I’ll draw aggro!”
Johannesburg rushed forward.
His sword strikes poured down on the Giant White Fang.
However, unlike regular White Fangs, the boss’s level was a whopping 70.
No matter how much Johannesburg exceeded the level requirement, he couldn’t push back the Giant White Fang.
It was because his equipment was a bit lacking compared to his level.
“You damn human!”
[Lv.70 Giant White Fang uses ‘Roar’.]
[You fall into status ailment (Fear).]
The Giant White Fang’s unique skill was an Area Debuff.
Jung Hoon, who was only half the level, felt his body freeze up.
His mind was calm, but his Lv.35 body fell into a status ailment and was trembling.
Even so, Jung Hoon’s face remained peaceful.
‘This sensation is also nostalgic.’
Status ailments he had been sickeningly afflicted with.
Operating Divine Power to escape from those status ailments would easily solve the problem, but Jung Hoon didn’t do that.
“I’ll block from the front!”
Johannesburg and Canvasra had almost no restrictions on movement despite being hit by the Giant White Fang’s Area Debuff.
It was because their levels were high.
Therefore, they began attacking the Giant White Fang to protect Jung Hoon.
Thanks to this, Jung Hoon leisurely watched the situation while operating his Mana.
[Martial Artist exclusive skill, ‘Strong Will’ activates.]
[You acquire skill, ‘Debuff Resistance (Rare)’.]
Raising Mana and circulating it throughout the body to overcome status ailments.
That was the condition for acquiring a new skill.
Originally, it would have been work that took much longer.
‘Is it because of Muhuang? Strong Will reacts quickly.’
After the first job change, the speed at which Strong Will reacted became dimensionally faster.
Well.
This is what you’d call a Legendary grade profession.
Jung Hoon grinned.
[‘Debuff Resistance’ reacts to Divine Power.]
[‘Debuff Resistance’ level rises to 5.]
The Debuff Resistance skill immediately reacted to Divine Power.
The skill he just acquired instantly rose to level 5.
[Debuff Resistance]
-Type: Passive
-Level: 5
-Grade: Rare
-Strongly resists debuffs. (Maximum 10%)
Maximum 10% resistance.
Only then did Jung Hoon operate his Divine Power.
Divine Power, unlike mana, is not restricted by level limitations.
That’s why non-combat healers are always in demand and receive precious treatment.
[You have escaped from status ailment (Fear).]
The trembling in his body gradually subsides.
Jung Hoon slowly drew the bowstring.
Currently, the Giant White Fang had all its attention focused on Johannesburg.
‘The Giant White Fang’s weak spot is also its forehead.’
However, it had stronger defense than the Lv.52 White Fang, and the exposed area was narrower, making it very difficult to hit.
He needed to shoot more carefully.
But he wasn’t worried.
Before his regression, this was a bow he had handled until he was sick of it.
His archery skills were honed while receiving advice from guys who knew how to handle bows.
‘You must eliminate even that subtle trembling to properly hit where you’re aiming.’
Advice he had heard from Lee Hwa Rang.
It was undeniable that he had overcome countless hardships with the help of his companions.
Though they were now no different from traitors, that advice had been more than enough to become part of his flesh and bones.
Johannesburg and Canvasra joined forces to corner the Giant White Fang, but the finishing blow would belong to Jung Hoon.
He released the bowstring he had drawn.
A powerful arrow with Arrow skill activated.
The arrow traced a parabolic arc as it flew, then struck the Giant White Fang right between the eyes.
Very precisely at that.
“Keeaak!”
[Critical Hit has triggered!]
A critical hit triggered and the Giant White Fang’s massive body collapsed to the side.
