Return To Level Up

Chapter 196

The guardians who entered the dungeon of Marbas eventually also dealt with the second demon.

It was not an easy process. But he managed to do it with little to no damage.

All that was left was the dragons led by the dark dragon.

Dragon species are monsters mixed with dragon blood, and in appearance and abilities, there are many similarities to dragons.

Of course it was very powerful.

Although strong Hajin also said that the dark dragon itself is weak compared to the other two demons, the monsters led by the dark dragon are very strong, so be careful.

So, it will probably be a difficult fight this time as well.

“By the way, I’m sure he was drilling a dimensional hole, but I don’t know where it is.”

“You can just leave that to Ha-jin Kang.”

At Hwang Soo-young’s insignificant words, Kim Ji-hye nodded her head.

She is definitely right. Now is not the time to worry about that, but the time to hunt the monsters inside.

Kim Ji-hye’s gaze reached the mountain range in the distance.

Somewhere in that mountain range, there must be strong Hajin and Baekho.

“It will be fine.”

Ji-hye Kim, hearing her words from Soo-young Hwang, suddenly came to her senses and looked at her.

“You don’t have to worry too much.”

Jihye Kim smiled awkwardly.

“Is it too much tea?”

“Did you just write it openly on her face?”

Hwang Soo-young smiled and continued.

“I have a bit of a human eye, and he is someone who can come back to life from any desperate situation. So, if you want to worry, you have to worry about us, not him.”

Kim Ji-hye smiled and nodded her head.

“Yes. He is such a person.”

“Now, in that sense, shall we start slowly?”

Everyone jumped up from their seats.

But she didn’t think Lee Ji-young would wake up.

“What are you doing?”

Hwang Soo-young approached her and asked. Lee Ji-young was looking at her tablet.

“What are you looking at like that?”

“We flew a few drones earlier.”

It was a new drone and tablet recently developed by The Guardian.

They were developed as prototypes by the magic engineers recruited this time, and performance tests were also in progress.

“But?”

Hwang Soo-young said so and checked her tablet screen.

“uh?”

A group of groups was seen moving within the tablet screen.

“Isn’t this guy Jason? uh? Is Jennifer there too?”

“William and Spencer are here too.”

“It looks like the Defenders came in with a lot of determination, right? You want to attack the dungeon, right?”

“I hope so.”

At that moment, Jason looked at the drone. And when the drone was smashed, the screen went off.

“Am I the only one who doesn’t feel good about this?”

At Hwang Soo-young’s words, the rest of the people’s expressions hardened.

Hajin Kang tried to destroy the labyrinth. He thought he wouldn’t, but he was just in case.

The result was still the same.

Marvas’ labyrinth was crossing over in a way that overwrites the dimension.

So no matter how broken this place was, it couldn’t be stopped.

However, just destroying the labyrinth here slowed the progress.

There was a reason why the structure of the labyrinth built in this mountain range was similar to that of Marvass’ labyrinth.

The more similar the shape or structure, the easier it is to overwrite.

Anyway, all of this takes energy.

It would be impossible without the power of the source to do something great enough to overwrite the dimension.

It must also be pouring out a very large amount.

Hajin Kang thought about destroying the entire labyrinth to slow down the progress.

But then he shook his head.

Maybe you have to enter Marbas’s labyrinth, but if you destroy the labyrinth itself, it will be much more difficult to enter until the labyrinth is complete.

‘I want to go in, but…’

I wanted to properly confirm the existence of Marvas.

I wanted to know how strong he was.

He was killed by him before returning, but Hajin Kang at that time had no idea how strong Marbas was.

The difference in grade was too great.

Knowing and not knowing the opponent’s strength is the difference between heaven and earth.

What do you need to know to take action?

When I went in there earlier, I felt like my stomach was turning upside down.

As the dimension was distorted, it was clear that the burden came on his body.

Ha-jin Kang went to the border and put his hands and feet in and tested it with his body.

He wasn’t easy. Even with only one finger in his body, there was a lot of pressure on his body.

Perhaps it would require some special power or qualification to solve it.

Hajin Kang pondered for a moment, then slowly backed away.

On his way back he didn’t forget to spread Rapha Sid’s pattern wide enough to slow his progress as much as possible.

She didn’t break the labyrinth for once.

And looking at the situation, Marbas did not appear immediately.

That labyrinth itself was a device for calling Marvas here. At least, according to Hajin Kang’s understanding, it was.

It meant that it was more difficult for Marbas to come than to send the labyrinth.

‘You look terribly strong.’

Kang Ha-jin muttered that inwardly and ran out of her labyrinth.

She knew that Marbas couldn’t come out, so he had no problem with killing the demons guarding the labyrinth now.

Kang Ha-jin sent a message to Baek-ho. He had no intention of fighting him fairly.

After using the backhoe to distract his nerves, he will start by giving him a shot by surprise.

After a while, a white tiger appeared nearby.

As soon as Drak Liar saw the white tiger, he focused all his attention on it.

He was planning to seize the perfect opportunity and execute it at once.

And at that moment, Ha-jin Kang flew towards his back.

Kwagwagwagwagwang!

Drak Liar felt intense pain and rolled forward. For a moment, I was perplexed as to what was going on, but once I was ready for the next attack, I spewed out magical energy from my body.

However, it was Baekho, not Hajin Kang, who made the second attack.

The white tiger burrowed in secretly and bit Drac Liar’s calf.

Awkward!

It was a considerable blow. He was torn into chunks of flesh.

Drak Liar stared at Baekho with anger-filled eyes as he ripped open his own flesh and chewed it hard.

Baekho just ripped off his flesh, but also his strength.

As he chewed on his own flesh, he watched him grow little by little.

The anger ran through my head, but I held it in. For now, the first thing to do was to figure out the identity of the person who attacked him.

But there was no time for that. Because Baekho ran again.

“Did you make fun of me for eating some flesh?”

Drak Liar’s power was immense. Baekho was not an opponent he could dare to fight against.

However, Baekho did not intend to fight head-on, and the purpose was to keep his nerves distracted, so he was able to hold on to it.

And he could have fallen back at the right time.

Drak Liar did not dare to pursue Baekho even though he retreated. He was careful now knowing that he shouldn’t bet his whole on this fight.

Because there’s still the guy who attacked behind him earlier.

Drak Reyer looked around him and said.

“Are you the guy who hid like a rat a while ago and spyed around here?”

It was an expressionless expression on the outside. But Drak Liar was deeply perplexed inside.

There was nobody around. Not only was it invisible, but there was no sign of it.

When I was spying earlier, I could clearly see through the presence.

But now that wasn’t the case.

Either he just ran away, or he had a high level of stealth skill that he couldn’t recognize, or it was either.

Drak Liar clearly thought it was the former, but the possibility of the latter kept running through his mind.

So I turned one wheel slowly. And the eyes grew big.

Meanwhile, the white tiger had also disappeared.

It was really embarrassing that the white tiger disappeared so naturally without feeling any sense of incongruity.

Because I thought the presence of the white tiger was clearly being felt.

But now, that sign has disappeared, so it was like going crazy.

Boom!

Drak Liar flew away again with intense pain. He’s the guy attacking his back.

And while he was flying, something suddenly grabbed his neck. When I checked, it was a white tiger.

“Aaaaaah!”

Drak Liar screamed and radiated energy from his body.

And he swung around like crazy.

Baekho suddenly fell off. But he had already ripped off a handful of flesh from his neck.

A mixture of tension, embarrassment, and fear appeared on Drak Liar’s face.

After that, the same attack continued.

With Drak Liar’s skills, it was impossible to see through the concealment and distortion perfectly unfolded by Raphasid’s Book.

One of the most powerful demons disappeared again.

Ji-hye Kim recalled her words she had said before she left for Ha-jin Kang to the mountains.

She told her to make it a priority for her to get out of the dungeon if she ever had a variable.

Now is the situation where that variable occurred.

“What are you going to do?”

Hwang Soo-young asked.

Now they were waiting near a horde of monsters led by a dark dragon.

And I sent drones several times to locate the Defenders, and they were approaching exactly this way.

As if there was a way to figure out the Guardian’s location.

“The master has instructed us to withdraw if there is a change.”

Hwang Soo-young’s expression hardened slightly at Kim Ji-hye’s words.

“Are you going to leave the dungeon then?”

Jihye Kim shook her head.

“If you do that, the Master will have to handle all those Defenders.”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Then, Hwang Soo-young’s expression softened slightly.

In fact, she thought that if Kim Ji-hye decided to withdraw, she would be left alone.

As she looked around the rest of the Guardians, she didn’t seem to have any intention of evacuating everyone like this.

She had the momentum to rush towards the Erado Defenders as soon as she gave her instructions.

“We can’t just put off hunting for the dark dragon. I still don’t know what the dragon is doing.”

If the dark dragon is also piercing a dimensional hole like other demons, it must be blocked somehow.

“Shall we try to find the location one more time?”

After confirming that they were coming straight towards the guardian earlier, the guardian moved once more and positioned the dark dragon and monster horde in between.

If you come straight this way, you have no choice but to encounter a group of monsters in the middle.

“Now there are only a few drones left.”

Lee Ji-young said so and launched the drone.

After a while, the Defenders were captured on the screen. It took a little while for the drone to shoot down as it was filming from a distance.

In the meantime, you need to figure out the direction of the defenders’ movement.

“You seem to be bypassing the hordes of monsters?”

“It seems that way to me.”

This made their goal clear. They are aiming for the Guardians.

“Should we dig a trap and wait?”

They had quite a few magic bombs in subspace. If you use it to dig traps, you’ll be fine.

So while they were discussing the strategy, someone came and asked.

“What is the matter, are you making a battle plan?”

Everyone looked at the side where the voice came from.

There, Hajin Kang was standing there, looking down at the pictures they had drawn hard on the floor with a calm expression.

“Did your work go well?”

The first person to wake up was Kim Ji-hye.

“First, I need to find out more, so I just organized a few things and came back.”

“What about Baekho?”

“I am hunting. There are so many monsters in the mountains, you probably won’t see them for a while.”

After fighting the Drak Liar, Baekho’s desire for strength grew even greater.

So he was on a rampage saying he would prey on all the monsters in the mountains.

There seemed to be no danger anyway, so Ha-jin Kang just said so.

“So what’s going on?”

“The Defenders have entered the dungeon.”

At the word “Defenders,” Ha-jin Kang brightened her eyes.

Kim Ji-hye looked at Kang Ha-jin’s expression and calmly explained what had happened so far.

Hajin Kang, who heard her explanation, said while stroking her chin.

“For now, let’s check it out.”

“Are you sure?”

“If you watch, you will know.”

At Ha-jin Kang’s meaningful smile, everyone put on a strange expression of mixed anxiety and anticipation.
