Return To Level Up

Chapter 40

Everyone was confused and didn’t know what to do.

But there was only one man who knew very clearly what he had to do.

“Let’s start with the dungeon you see here.”

“Yes? Oh yes. That’s right.”

Everyone was still dumbfounded. Kang Ha-jin saw this and frowned.

“You have to be alert. Before those dungeons explode, we have to clean up the inside.”

“Ah······! That’s it. Yes. You can’t leave that out.”

If so many dungeons explode, perhaps the aftermath will have to be prepared for great damage no matter how great the awakening comes and no matter how many troops are mobilized.

When everyone was preparing for that kind of thinking, Hajin Kang was thinking differently.

‘That’s the Awakened Dungeon I’ve only heard of.’

It is a dungeon that would have been almost impossible to obtain if we had not moved in advance to prevent disaster.

That was a dungeon that appeared near the Awakened when disaster struck. It is different from the awakening dungeon that awakens.

It was a dungeon that existed to reward the Awakened.

Of course, among the dungeons there, only one dungeon per Awakened was an Awakened Dungeon and the rest were dungeons full of monsters.

Since it was a dungeon directly connected to the Awakened, other Awoken would not get anything by entering.

But I could help.

Before Kang Ha-jin returned, dungeons exploded from all directions, and those dungeons appeared while monsters swept the world.

So there weren’t that many Awoken who got something right there. No, there were hardly any.

I don’t know exactly what they got.

However, the Awoken who entered there and gained something definitely became stronger.

“We process them in the order they appear. We all move together.”

“Are you all together? Isn’t it better for Kang Ha-jin to go alone? If there are three of us, I think it will be possible to handle one dungeon.”

Hwang Soo-young asked with a slightly puzzled expression. In fact, it has always been so, so it was natural to have doubts.

“This time we will do it together. There are some things that bother me.”

Ha-jin Kang wanted to do that, but there was no reason to object. Hwang Soo-young nodded happily.

“Then I do it. It’s nice to be able to close much faster with Ha-jin Kang.”

Kang Ha-jin sent a text message to Myung In-hyuk. Now, all the dungeons that appear near the Guardians Guild members must all gather their strength and clear them all.

Myung In-soo and Yoo Dong-hoon are not combat-type Awakeners, so it may be difficult to run the dungeon together. But it must be.

Ha-jin Kang sent a text message that was brief, but packed with as much information as possible.

If you understand the core, Myung In-hyuk will figure out what to do and how to make a plan and do it well.

‘It’s fortunate that everyone is gathered in the guild.’

Now, the Guardians’ guild members gathered in the guild building and were waiting for a break.

They’ve been marching too hard lately, so they’ve slowed down their pace a bit.

Ha-jin Kang sent the same text to Kyung-min Yoon. Dungeon Breaker will be handled by Yoon Kyung-min.

He has not yet decided whether or not to properly raise and lead them.

It will depend on how reliable Hwang Soo-young is. Hajin Kang has not yet decided anything about Dungeon Breaker.

“Are you done?”

Hwang Soo-young looked at Kang Ha-jin with her eyes shining. I don’t know what it is, but it must have something to do with the creation of the dungeon here right now.

“Let’s go now.”

As Ha-jin Kang took a step towards the dungeon, Soo-young Hwang quickly followed and asked

“Are you going to tell me everything later?”

Kang Ha-jin went into the dungeon instead of answering.

“It doesn’t give a hole for a needle to go through.”

Kim Ji-hye and Lee Ji-young, who smiled awkwardly next to Hwang Soo-young, who was muttering like that, passed by and entered the dungeon.

In the end, Hwang Soo-young also shook her head with a sigh and entered the dungeon.

* * *

Once again there was a riot. The whole world shook.

An emergency was caught because of the dungeons that appeared suddenly.

Awakened education and training were further strengthened, and troops were deployed around the newly created dungeon.

And mobilized the awakened to quickly clear the dungeon.

Because of the dungeons that exploded everywhere, monsters were doing various damage here and there.

Fortunately, many of the dungeons were closed before the disaster, so if it wasn’t for the devil, they would have suffered irreparable damage.

In any case, ordinary people were able to live their lives without much disruption.

When I was so reassured, this happened.

There were so many dungeons that suddenly appeared, everyone was terrified.

The fear that the world might be destroyed even if all those dungeons exploded began to engulf the world.

Again, the heroes, one or two from each country, came forward.

There were quite a lot of Awoken around them.

It was to divide the awakened appropriately and attack the dungeons in all directions.

We set priorities for the dungeons to be attacked and processed them sequentially, but there was a lot of lobbying because everyone wanted to be on that priority list.

On the other hand, there were also voices saying that it is a dungeon that has just been opened and that everyone is overreacting.

But the voice soon faded.

The newly created dungeons began to explode one by one.

Among the existing dungeons, monsters classified as high-risk were poured out.

The Awoken and the soldiers got measles once more.

However, there was still some time between the first dungeon burst and the new dungeon pouring out.

In the meantime, they were able to educate and train the newly emerged Awakeneds and put them into practice.

Of course, it was still difficult.

Anyway, the world was changing so fast that I could turn my eyes around.

The system of the Awakening Management Office had no choice but to naturally follow the changes, and each guild or large corporation had to adapt quickly by accepting the changes.

* * *

When Ha-jin Kang and his party were closing the newly appeared dungeons, the world was still on the verge of a full-fledged change.

As these dungeons explode and monsters pour in, they ride the rapids of change.

But it was still just before the rush started.

“The dungeon itself isn’t as dangerous as I thought, but if these dungeons explode, will it be over?”

Hwang Soo-young and Kang Ha-jin approached the dungeon core and said.

The monster in this dungeon was poison flies. It was a monster that attacked by spraying poison on its body.

However, the poison this monster sprayed was a caustic poison. In particular, it was specialized to corrode metal or cement.

It was terrifying to imagine how much the building would collapse if these poison flies were to leave the world.

But it wasn’t difficult to deal with. He was not as agile and vigilant as a real fly, and his defense was ridiculously low.

All dungeons that have been closed so far have been like this.

It’s good for Awakened people to come in and fight, but when you go out, the danger to the world is not a joke, it’s made up of monsters.

Everyone likes that the level has risen, but Hajin Kang, who has dealt with the most monsters, was thinking of something else.

‘Not here either.’

I have never experienced it before returning, so I have no idea what a dungeon like a gift given to the Awakened is like.

‘You have to solve the dungeon before it explodes.’

That was the most important thing. When the dungeon explodes, it’s over. They all disappear together.

“Hurry up.”

Kang Ha-jin walked faster. And by using her skill, she put the power of crushing in her hand.

“Why are you in such a hurry?”

Hwang Soo-young looked at Kang Ha-jin with a slightly bewildered and bewildered expression.

“When it explodes, it’s all over.”

Hajin Kang just said that and broke the dungeon core.

The world was distorted and he went out.

Hwang Soo-young and the rest of the party opened their eyes wide and looked at Kang Ha-jin.

However, Hajin Kang was standing in front of another dungeon. She looked at the dungeon with a strange expression,

‘Do you feel a little different?’

In the meantime, I concentrated my senses whenever I went in and out of the dungeon, and I gained the ability to sense even a little bit of a higher level type of power than that of magic.

Of course, he wasn’t registered as a skill. But it was definitely the ability that Hajin Kang possessed.

“Why that dungeon this time? Is this closer?”

Hwang Soo-young asked with a puzzled expression. There were four more dungeons between the dungeon in front of Ha-jin Kang and the dungeon the group had closed earlier.

“There is something I want to check.”

At Ha-jin Kang’s words, Ji-hye Kim and Ji-young Lee approached Ha-jin Kang directly. Hwang Soo-young laughed at the two people acting without a single question or question.

“Hey, you’re really great.”

It sounded disapproving, but there was also an envy that could not be hidden.

At least, among the people around him, there has not yet been a single person who believed in him and followed him like these two.

“Okay, you can go there.”

After Hwang Soo-young said that, he almost ran and ran into the dungeon in front of Ha-jin Kang.

Hajin Kang also hurriedly followed after him. If it was a dungeon prepared for Hwang Soo-young, other people might not be able to enter.

Fortunately, no such thing happened.

It was a huge stone chamber. Hwang Soo-young didn’t even go inside, but stood still and looked around the stone chamber.

“It’s a bit… a strange dungeon, isn’t it?”

There was nothing but one stone chamber. It was a stone chamber made of bricks about 1 meter wide and stacked one after another.

And each brick was filled with drawings and letters.

“What is this?”(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Meanwhile, Kim Ji-hye and Lee Ji-young also entered the room.

Both of them looked startled at the sight inside.

“It looks like a book has been removed and copied from page to page.”

After listening to Kim Ji-hye and looking back, I could have seen it like that.

“By the way, what are you talking about here? Is it like a mine?”

I could absolutely say it wasn’t. It was clear that this was the dungeon prepared for the Awakened.

At that moment, light began to rise in the stone chamber. All the writings and drawings engraved on the bricks radiated light.

And the light came out into the air.

The paintings and writings on the walls of the stone chamber were no longer there. All of them had been changed to just plain bricks.

The light that bounced out of the air gathered together and fell straight down on Lee Ji-young.

It happened with no time to react. Even the strong Hajin did.

“uh?”

Everyone was startled, but only Lee Ji-young, who was hit by the light, was fine. She looked around her group with a blank expression.

“I have a new skill.”

Ha-jin Kang reflexively checked Lee Ji-young’s status window. One existing skill was replaced with a new skill. It meant that it was a more important skill.

[Growth (P)][You get bonus stats every time you level up. Bonus stats are randomly determined from 0 to 3.]

Kang Ha-jin was surprised.

Isn’t that a nonsensical scam skill? On the one hand, since I got such a skill, I thought that the Awoken who had gained something here before returning could grow significantly.

“It looks like business is over here, so let’s leave.”

At Ha-jin Kang’s words, everyone looked at them with a sullen expression.

“Yes? Already? Could we get something?”

Hwang Soo-young, who has the biggest obsession with getting stronger, couldn’t let go of her lust, and she said so.

Even Kang Ha-jin had no intention of stopping it.

“I will go. Mine will be outside.”

When Ha-jin Kang left without any regrets, Ji-young Lee and Ji-hye Kim followed immediately without hesitation.

“Wow, a real sweet pumpkin.”

Hwang Soo-young left her regrets, but for some reason, the feeling that she had to follow Kang Ha-jin made her even more tormented.

“Hey, I don’t know either.”

In the end, Hwang Soo-young also went out.

Then the dungeon disappeared like a lie.
