Chapter 93
Jeon Jae-woo and his party entered the next Ancient-grade Ruin.
The ruin was called Yeomyeong—the same word used for the dawn light that breaks when day comes.
One might wonder if Yeomyeong had some connection to Hwangnon, the Ancient-grade Ruin they’d cleared before, but the ruins were all independent; there was no interconnected world or anything like that.
The reason the ruin was named Yeomyeong was simply because the setting was dawn.
“It’s a bit cold with this dawn breeze.”
“Here, take a blanket.”
“Thanks, Lich King.”
And something was flying toward them from far across the sky.
It was an absolutely enormous bird.
Each beat of its wings created the illusion that the entire sky was eclipsed.
‘Could it be a phoenix?’
Looking again, its entire body was black, and it had three legs instead of two.
It was a monster called the Samjokoh.
[‘Yeomyeong’ Exploration Condition: Defeat the Samjokoh (0/1)]
The Samjokoh that had reached the party let out a shriek as enormous as its own body.
“Keeeee!!”
Even though it was merely a cry, it carried such overwhelming Mana that shockwaves erupted across the space.
Jeon Jae-woo and Jeon Ji-woo, the only ones in the party with ears, covered them.
“Brother, I’m scared. I think my legs are about to give out.”
“What?! Speak up!! I can’t hear anything!!”
Indeed, this was the Samjokoh—the beast that even hunted Dragon Lords and feasted on them.
It was a monster powerful enough to be considered on equal footing with Myeol-geop.
The reason the Yeomyeong Ruin had remained unchallenged for so long wasn’t only because the Samjokoh was as powerful as any monster in an Ancient-grade Ruin.
‘This ruin must be cleared before dawn fully breaks.’
The moment the sun fully rises and its light touches the world, the Samjokoh would reclaim its power as a sun deity, be judged as unbeatable, and the ruin itself would declare failure and expel the challengers.
Meanwhile, the horizon was gradually growing brighter by the moment.
“I mean, god or not, we won’t know until we give it a shot. This dungeon system is really…”
[Please don’t say such terrible things. If that thing actually becomes a deity, we’re all done for.]
So if the Samjokoh breaks through to Earth and becomes a true god, would they all die from the sunlight?
Jeon Jae-woo cleared his throat at the unusual tone and shouted out.
“Everyone, hurry!”
Skeleton Knights drew their weapons and approached.
The knights tried to swing their weapons and attack the Samjokoh.
But the Samjokoh gave an indifferent look and flapped its wings broadly toward the undead.
The Samjokoh’s wingbeat wasn’t a gentle breeze—it was practically a typhoon.
The skeletons flew so far they disappeared from sight without even touching the Samjokoh.
Like Sun Wukong struck by a palm-leaf fan.
“They’re not helping at all, are they?”
……
It was a thoughtless remark, but had it struck a nerve?
Lich King cancelled the summoning of the Death Knights.
Then he concentrated the Mana of death in one place and drew it up once more.
In an instant, a giant skeletal knight emerged from the magic circle.
Its sheer size was enough to rival the Samjokoh’s bulk.
‘Oh. So Necromancy can be used in that way too?’
Lich King had never realized this because he’d always operated individual Death Knights separately.
“Since I have to concentrate on each one individually, this way is easier to handle.”
The Samjokoh, seeing the massive undead, unleashed its Breath.
A brilliant roar erupted, and a Breath like a solar explosion tore from the Samjokoh’s jaws.
The undead raised its Greatsword to defend, deflecting the Breath.
Its legs scraped backward again as it was overpowered, but somehow it held firm.
The stream of Breath was split by the Greatsword and scattered in all directions.
Boom—crack-crack-crack-bang!!!!
As the Breath scattered, massive explosions erupted all around—more like the end times of Hwangnon than the beginning of Yeomyeong.
Seizing the gap the giant skeleton had created, Myeol-geop fired off a cannon shot.
An attack that didn’t yield an inch to the Samjokoh’s Breath struck its body in a direct hit.
“Keeeee!!”
The Samjokoh, struck by an unexpected blow, soared into the sky.
Though it took the cannon shot, the Samjokoh’s body suffered no actual damage from the impact.
It was because of the powerful mana barrier that enveloped the creature’s body.
‘Just as I’d heard—it really does have Magic Resistance.’
A resistance ability that blocked all forms of contact utilizing mana.
True to its Ancient-grade Ruin origins, the creature possessed an ability that was troublesome to contend with.
That’s why most of the hunters who faced the Samjokoh had no choice but to challenge it using nothing but raw physical strength to land a blow.
Of course, all such attempts ended in failure.
It was then that Jeon Jae-woo, who had been wrestling with how to counter this, arrived at a new solution.
Above the Samjokoh’s head now floated a single fluffy cloud.
It was Jeon Jae-woo’s Geunduun.
Wasn’t the Geunduun impossible to use in combat for anything other than riding?
No problem. Jeon Jae-woo had No-bum.
That Geunduun was currently in a state where No-bum had unified with it through his Natural Element Property, becoming one body.
After all, clouds were undeniably part of nature.
While pondering how to weaponize the Geunduun, the Lich King had offered an idea.
‘Now, anything with wings is always weak to electricity and ice. You know.’
No-bum, now in the form of the Geunduun, drew upon all his power and attacked the Samjokoh.
—Crack-crack-crack-crack-crackle!!!
“Shrieeeeek!!”
Lightning and a blizzard descended simultaneously from the Geunduun upon the Samjokoh.
Snow and lightning striking at the same time wasn’t a common occurrence, though it did happen occasionally in the real world.
In any case, the Lich King and Jeon Jae-woo’s prediction proved correct.
The lightning and blizzard from the Geunduun weren’t made of mana—they were natural phenomena amplified to an extreme degree through the application of mana.
The Samjokoh had no choice but to take damage from the natural phenomenon itself, and its mana barrier shattered considerably.
From the impact of the lightning, a smell of singed feathers rose from the Samjokoh.
‘Either way, the black feathers look the same, so it’s not visible.’
The Samjokoh, properly enraged, tried to retaliate against the Geunduun.
—Whoosh! Whoosh!
But no matter how fiercely it beat its wings, it was useless.
How was it supposed to grab a cloud and pummel it?
“Brother. Get ready.”
“Okay.”
Next came the coordinated attack of Jeon Jae-woo and Jeon Ji-woo.
The siblings combined their strength to create the shadow of an enormous greatsword.
A blade as massive as the Samjokoh itself rose into the air.
The sword splintered into thousands of shadows, which rained down upon the Samjokoh all at once.
“Shrieeeeek!!”
Through the gaps in the now-fractured protective barrier, the sword shadows pierced through the Samjokoh’s wings.
Ultimately, the Samjokoh lost its ability to fly and began to plummet.
Jeon Jae-woo felt a sense of satisfaction seeing the Samjokoh take damage from his attack.
‘Now I’m actually useful even in Ancient-grade Ruins?’
He’d grown tremendously since those early days when he’d relied solely on Myeol-geop to clear dungeons.
Now that the Samjokoh had taken all the punishment it could, all that remained was for Myeol-geop to finish it.
Myeol-geop and the Death Knight rushed toward the Samjokoh to deliver the finishing blow.
***
International Hunter Association Headquarters.
The area around the building was difficult for ordinary hunters to even enter.
So much overwhelming mana had gathered that breathing alone brought pressure.
Michael, an active S-Rank Hunter from the United States, opened his mouth.
“Everyone doing well? It really is hard for us to see each other’s faces.”
……
No one responded to his opening remark.
The S-Rank Hunter from an allied nation close to America remained silent as well.
Just as Michael had said, everyone gathered here was among the world’s most famous hunters, but seeing one another’s faces was ordinarily no easy feat.
And given the nature of their profession, it was virtually impossible for them to be on good terms.
They were all constantly competing with one another, trying to clear dungeons whenever the opportunity arose.
So even though they’d already assembled, not a single person felt at ease.
Rohan, India’s top hunter, spoke with irritation.
“Jeon Jae-woo has already begun clearing dungeons—does it even matter that we’ve gathered here?”
What’s more, two dungeons had already fallen into Jeon Jae-woo’s hands.
Everyone was shocked by this news, but for that very reason they’d assembled all the more urgently.
Shu Ming, China’s S-Rank Hunter, was the only one openly enthusiastic among them.
“It doesn’t matter. If we clear it first before he does, that’s all that counts.”
From a distance, it was quite an unusual alliance.
Not just any countries either—S-Rank Hunters from America and China working together, no less.
Of course, they would cooperate this time regardless of what anyone said.
To break Jeon Jae-woo’s monopoly, so to speak.
As mentioned before, not all S-Rank Hunters in the world had gathered here.
There were a few S-Rank Hunters who refused to cooperate, including Ritzki from Indonesia.
Moreover, the S-Rank Hunters assembled here weren’t on the best terms with each other, yet their preparations were flawless.
They had thoroughly studied the information about Dungeons they’d accumulated over a long period, and the Hunters’ condition was at its peak.
Whatever their interpersonal tensions, they shared a common view on Jeon Jae-woo’s approach to Ancient-grade Ruins.
Jeon Jae-woo had cleared two Ancient-grade Ruins over the course of several days.
No matter how powerful a Hunter is, there are limits.
After exerting that much effort, he should rest for days, even a week.
Clearing two Ancient-grade Ruins in four days and then immediately tackling the next one made no common sense whatsoever.
The S-Rank Hunters didn’t hesitate and entered the Ancient-grade Dungeon “Gyeonggyae” at once.
Of course, they hadn’t anticipated that Jeon Jae-woo would recover instantly the moment he finished clearing the Dungeon and begin his assault on the third one.
***
Just after completing the Yeomyeong Dungeon, Jeon Jae-woo was wearing a contented smile.
His Summoned Creatures—Myeol-geop, Lich King, No-bum, and Jeon Ji-woo—all looked happy too.
[Exploration Condition completed.]
[Henceforth, the Yeomyeong Dungeon belongs to Jeon Jae-woo.]
“Wow. This is incredible.”
Jeon Jae-woo was lying quietly in the grass, basking in the sunlight.
The reward for clearing the Yeomyeong Dungeon was the Dungeon itself.
The Samjokoh, the Beast of the Ancient-grade Ruin, proved remarkably tenacious.
Though Myeol-geop finished off the creature after it crashed to the ground, the Samjokoh revived once.
He managed to dispose of it before the sun rose, but whether the Samjokoh lived or died, the sun came up as scheduled.
And as sunlight began pouring into the Dungeon, something extraordinary occurred.
The moment it was bathed in sunlight, Mana automatically began recovering.
Not only that, his physical condition was at its absolute peak.
“Don’t tell me injuries, poison, or illness just heal instantly?”
[It appears so. It’s rather like those internet games where you return to the lobby and recover completely at once, isn’t it?]
“This Dungeon is absolutely broken.”
So that’s why the Samjokoh recovered its original strength whenever it basked in sunlight.
The sunlight wasn’t scorching or blinding—it offered precisely the kind of pleasant drowsiness a person craves.
As if being cradled in a mother’s arms again.
Even Myeol-geop, a golem, seemed so intoxicated by the sunlight that it made no move for a while.
“By the way, is Lich King all right?”
“What do you mean?”
“Won’t he be purified and dissipate when exposed to sunlight?”
Zombies hate the sun most of all, after all.
“…The power of death and the power of creation are not opposing concepts. Death must exist for creation to arise anew.”
Thanks to this, Jeon Jae-woo’s party swiftly recovered from the mental exertion spent dealing with the Samjokoh.
“Then let’s head straight to the next Dungeon.”
And so they were able to enter immediately for their third Dungeon conquest.
