Fallen Lands (3)
“Kkheueuup! Kkheuueuup!”
Park Min-soo let out scream-like groans.
“Shut up.”
Kim Jun said curtly.
“Waaaaaaah!!”
Park Min-soo cried again… letting out another wail.
It seemed he could barely walk on his two feet.
Kim Jun said nothing.
The place they were heading to would give him great power.
But he didn’t bother telling him in advance.
“Kuuuuuh! Pyuuuuu!”
Because it was amusing to watch this bulky fool whining pathetically.
*
Among the rewards obtained from defeating Hyeonmu.
What needed attention wasn’t the water attribute or skills.
The important thing was.
「Fragment of Turtle Faith」.
“Don’t you find anything strange about this?”
Kim Jun held up the item and asked Park Min-soo.
Park Min-soo had no energy to answer.
“Don’t knoooow! Pyuuuuu! I want to rest too!!”
“Sigh…”
Kim Jun let out a sigh.
Hyeonmu was clearly a being that combined turtle and snake.
But the fragment obtained was?
Just one turtle-shaped piece.
Where did the snake go, leaving only one turtle-shaped stone fragment?
—-
[Item Information] : 「Fragment of Turtle Faith」
– Description : It seems like it could be combined with something…
—-
The description wasn’t telling him anything either.
Simply ‘It seems like it could be combined with something.’
What it was, how to combine it, what would come out.
Everything was unknown… but.
‘Was the snake fragment around there?’
Kim Jun was a regressor.
In the first round, he was only able to defeat Hyeonmu after a whole month of attempts.
The results he obtained then were the same as now.
Level up from massive experience points.
Millions of coins.
And the childishly named skill 「Defense Ignore Scary」, plus the material 「Hyeonmu’s Shell」 that could craft S-grade equipment.
Back then, he had only focused on these things.
「Fragment of Turtle Faith」 had appeared, but he couldn’t figure out its purpose.
Not knowing what it was for, it just stayed in his inventory.
He simply climbed toward the next floor like that.
It was much later that he learned the true purpose of this item.
It was when he was organizing all the dungeon’s items and skills before entering the 99th Floor.
It was while he was organizing all the items and skills from the entire dungeon, just before entering the 99th floor.
I wondered if I might have missed something, so I checked each floor from the bottom one by one, and that’s when I found out.
34th Floor.
Here, at the Southern End of the [Fallen Lands].
Unlike the very flat and vast northern area where Hyeonmu was located.
Steep and Rugged Peaks that soared toward the sky.
Snake-like winding rocks that filled every direction.
Irregular, unpredictable, and dangerous-looking place.
That the use for this fragment was at the Southern End.
“How far are we going? There’s nothing here at all!”
“Quiet.”
“What the hell are we going for!”
“We’re jogging.”
“…?”
“Pfft.”
“Really? No, r-really? That’s not right, is it? There’s no way you’d do something so meaningless!!”
*
Making our way between the steep peaks.
The place we arrived at after passing through the rugged path.
There, an Opaque Barrier was spread out.
Once you enter, you cannot exit.
A barrier that means either victory or death.
“Is this it?”
“This is it.”
“Fighting again?”
“Fighting again.”
That’s right.
Park Min-soo had to fight again.
Of course, the same was true for Kim Jun.
Perhaps thanks to growing to SS-rank, Kim Jun’s fatigue was recovering quickly.
His mana recovery speed had also noticeably changed.
Even the speed at which physical pain subsided was different.
As if he were a being from a completely different dimension.
But Park Min-soo remained the same.
“Damn, this is really tough.”
His voice trembled.
His arms felt heavy.
His legs were even more wobbly.
He had fought for 5 days without rest and had barely managed to defeat Hyeonmu.
And now he had to fight again.
“So what do we get for this.”
Listlessly, Park Min-soo asked without even looking at Kim Jun.
“Job advancement.”
“Huh?”
For a moment, Park Min-soo thought he had misheard.
“What, what did you say?”
“I said it’s a place for job advancement.”
“But I already did my 2nd job advancement?”
He had already passed level 50 and completed his 2nd job advancement.
What could this possibly mean.
“No, not that kind.”
Kim Jun added.
At that moment.
Park Min-soo’s eyes changed.
Like a torch in the Darkness.
His dead eyes came alive.
Twitch
Twitch twitch-
Muscles move.
His pectoral muscles bulge forward then retract.
Left side.
Flex-
Now the right side.
Flex-
As if pressing switches one by one
Left to right.
Moving alive in sequence.
Strangely precise, and pointlessly rhythmic.
Anyone watching would think he was practicing clapping with his chest muscles.
His quadriceps trembled.
Zzzzik…
They swelled to the point where it felt miraculous his pants held up.
His biceps and triceps alternated showing off their presence as if competing with each other.
His rectus abdominis rippled like waves.
And throughout all this.
Park Min-soo’s gaze never once left Kim Jun.
Sparkling eyes.
Eyes so sparkling they were actually problematic.
“Hehehe…”
A sultry expression.
“…Are you a pervert?”
“What is it! What is it! What! Hurry! Tell me!”
Park Min-soo had already caught on.
But he wanted confirmation from Kim Jun’s words.
“Damn it! What is it! Stop stalling and tell me! Quick!”
“Kukuku.”
“Pleeeease~. Hm? What is it~. Hm?”
Even attempting pathetic aegyo.
“It’s a place to change to a Hidden Class.”
“YEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!!”
He hadn’t said anything, but how disappointed he had been.
Kim Jun himself was one thing.
But to set him aside, someone he always treated like a servant.
And awaken Han Su-in to Hidden Class first.
There hadn’t even been a hint about when his turn would come.
But now, but now!
“For real!!”
“I’m telling you it is.”
Finally.
His turn had come.
How much Han Su-in had changed after awakening to Hidden Class.
Park Min-soo had seen it directly.
‘I was jealous. Incredibly so.’
With each attack, afterimages like doppelgangers remained in the air.
As if one motion was amplified into several.
One sword strike instantly became three, four strikes.
That sight was like a fantasy.
Speed so fast it was hard to follow with the eyes.
That form containing both elegance and lethality in one body.
Han Su-in had completely changed due to that Hidden Class.
Not as much as Kim Jun, but he could definitely feel that his ‘level’ had changed.
He too wanted to change like that.
He had fought in the Fallen Lands for 5 days.
His entire body was soaked with fatigue from facing the super-massive boss called Hyeonmu.
He held his shield, absorbed damage, and protected the team.
But he was still a tank.
Defense and endurance.
That alone was his role.
Although it’s a tank Hidden Class, it probably wouldn’t be offensive.
His defensive performance might increase several times over.
Or he might acquire a more efficient defensive method.
Or perhaps reflect the damage he receives.
Or his defense itself might rise to a completely new dimension.
He could become a completely different tank than before.
Like Han Su-in.
So strong.
So fantastic!
“But dealer.”
“Yes?”
*
Kim Jun and Park Min-soo stood before that curtain.
“Whew.”
Taking one deep breath.
Rustle-
They pushed aside the curtain.
[Hidden Boss appears!]
[Boss: Inverse Scale Snake]
[Grade: A]
[Level: 70]
[Health:
50,000,000,000 / 50,000,000,000]
[Rewards: 「Fragment of Snake Faith」, 「Blade of Inverse Scale」]
A giant snake appeared.
But its color was different from what they expected.
Neither orange nor black.
Pure white.
As if snow had fallen and settled gently upon it.
Its massive body filled the surroundings completely.
And in that enormous mouth was a huge, sharp sword clenched between its teeth.
It seemed to have swallowed the handle whole.
Only the blade protruded long outside its mouth.
That sharp blade.
Glares at Kim Jun.
Glares at Park Min-soo.
Hissssss…
The snake moves.
Its massive body glides fluidly.
The blade in its mouth flashes.
“Whoa!”
Park Min-soo raises his massive shield.
The blade strikes the shield.
Clang-!
Sparks fly.
Park Min-soo is pushed back.
But he endures.
He plants his feet and resists.
Hissss-
The snake attacks again.
This time from a different angle.
The blade aims for the side of the shield.
Park Min-soo rolls his body.
The blade cuts through the air.
Swooosh-!
That wind grazes Park Min-soo’s shoulder.
His clothes tear.
“Quite a fast one!”
Park Min-soo raises his shield again to face it.
Hissss-
The snake’s attacks don’t cease.
The blade keeps coming down.
From above, from the side, from below.
In unpredictable trajectories.
Clang-
Clang-
Claang-!
Park Min-soo’s shield blocks them all.
Hissss…
The Inverse Scale Snake soon lost interest in Park Min-soo.
Because it felt like no matter how much it struck, it wouldn’t be able to break him.
Beyond the shield, it targets another person.
“Oh, it’s targeting me.”
It was Kim Jun.
The pure white snake stares at Kim Jun.
The blade changes direction.
Bang bang bang bang bang-
“「Come at meeee!」”
Park Min-soo shouted while pounding his shield.
「Taunt」.
The most basic skill of a tank.
But its effect was absolute.
The Inverse Scale Snake’s head turns.
It stares at Park Min-soo again.
At that moment.
Kim Jun moved.
Crimson wings spread out.
As if flames had taken form.
He shoots up into the sky.
The Inverse Scale Snake sensed the chill too late, but it was already too late.
From the sky.
A greatsword appears.
Black flames wrap around the blade.
「Black Flame」.
The greatsword wrapped in it.
Plunges down.
From above to below.
Fiercely.
Intensely.
Toward the Inverse Scale Snake’s head.
───!!
The greatsword plunged deep into the snake’s head.
Thunk-!
