    10 – Irregular Gate

    -Kyahhhhh!!

    Starting with the roar of the A+ grade monster, Geluck Snake, the monsters began to charge towards them.

    Seriously, what kind of A-grade dungeon is this!

    Even if I’m S-grade, it’s still a bit much when A-grades swarm like crazy like this!

    “Hey! Do something!”

    “Wait, I’m concentrating!”

    The moment she saw this scene, Jin Ha-jeong planted his staff on the ground, closed his eyes, and began chanting something.

    Ha-yeon, becoming impatient, told him that, but the only answer she got was that.

    “Hold on for 5 minutes! The ley lines here are too twisted, so it’s hard to draw up magic power!”

    “5 minutes, right? 5 minutes! And then it’s over, right!?”

    “Yeah, so just hold them off! If you hold out for 5 minutes, I’ll wipe out all the monsters here!”

    At those words, that if she could hold out alone for 5 minutes, he could wipe out all the monsters here at once, she drew the Immortal Longsword from her left hip.

    As if waiting, the sword gleamed coldly once more.

    “If it takes more than 5 minutes, I’ll kill you!”

    With those words, she shot out.

    Her figure was like a gale.

    Swish.

    ‘One down for now.’

    She beheaded the A- grade monster, Shakram, who was charging first.

    “Two… oo!”

    After beheading Shakram, she swung in a half-circle again, cutting down a monster flying through the air.

    “Three!”

    She launched the slash she had initially unleashed with all her might, but it was blocked after only killing one monster.

    ‘This is shit.’

    The monster that blocked the slash was the A+ grade monster, Death Scyther.

    Its entire body was made of cloth, but the scythe it wielded was made of nearly the best metal, making it a tricky opponent that wouldn’t take much damage unless attacked properly.

    For the record, this guy is undead.

    Of course, Death Scyther’s weapon wasn’t intact either.

    The scythe was in two pieces.

    As she was about to unleash another slash.

    [The Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash’ shouts to watch your back.]

    “My back?”

    As the Constellation said, the moment she turned around.

    An attack came crashing in without time to block.

    “Cough!”

    Ha-yeon, sent flying to the end of the wall by the attack, quickly got up, swiftly beheaded the surrounding monsters, and retreated towards Jin Ha-jeong.

    ‘The damage isn’t significant.’

    She was just pushed back in surprise, she didn’t take that much damage.

    Well, it was still annoying and a little throbbing, though.

    “How much time is left!”

    “I haven’t even passed 2 minutes yet, so please be quiet!”

    At his words, she clicked her tongue, deflected the attack of a charging Giant Zombie to the side, and beheaded it.

    Ew, disgusting!

    That’s a corpse!

    [The Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash’ is looking for items or skills to give you.]

    Constellation-nim, if you’re going to give me something, please hurry!

    I’m in a slightly precarious situation right now!?

    “Stop.”

    Using an artifact, she stopped the guy charging towards Jin Ha-jeong, killed it, and turned around to unleash a slash.

    She had probably killed about 12 monsters so far.

    But there were still this many left?

    “That is…..?”

    In the midst of that, a door even larger than the one she had opened and entered through earlier came into view.

    A door on the opposite side.

    All of the patterns from before were drawn on that door, and some of the patterns were glowing.

    And before long, she realized that those patterns were the monsters she had killed so far.

    ‘Do I really have to kill them all to open that?’

    This is driving me crazy.

    As she lamented her fate and thought that, a helping hand came down.

    [The Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash’ bestows upon you the skill ‘Celestial Demon Death Beam (S)’.]

    [Due to insufficient compensation, the grade has been lowered.]

    [You have acquired the skill ‘Mana Ray (A)’.]

    She thought she saw something strange, but she tried to ignore it and decided to use the skill she had just obtained.

    Skills that enhance the body, like Hver’s Evil Eye, which she was still using, were simple, just requiring pouring magic power into that part, but.

    ‘This time, it’s a finger, huh.’

    It was common to create a shape by channeling magic power into a certain part.

    “Release.”

    [Activating the skill ‘Mana Ray (A)’.]

    Along with the system window, a huge blue ray of light erupted from her right hand.

    The ray of light erased the monster in front of her… well, it didn’t erase it, but it left a huge wound.

    Is it because it’s the same A-grade? No matter how I use it, it doesn’t have the tremendous power to instantly grind an A-grade monster to dust.

    But still, this is enough.

    ‘The mana consumption is quite severe, though.’

    It wasn’t serious enough to really worry about, so she brushed past that part.

    Anyway, after beheading the bear-shaped monster that was staggering from being hit by the Mana Ray, she turned to Jin Ha-jeong next to her and asked.

    “How much time is left!”

    “It’s over, come behind me!”

    Finally!

    As he said, she retreated behind him faster than anyone else.

    Soon, Jin Ha-jeong used magic.

    “Jeok-pung.”

    With those words, a red wind poured out madly from his staff.

    A storm even greater than the Wind King Barrier he had used earlier.

    The storm engulfed the monsters, and the patterns on the door continued to light up.

    And after about 10 seconds.

    Jeok-pung disappeared, and there were only 5 monsters left.

    They were high-grade monsters, but they were almost dying, so she easily beheaded them and turned back to ask him.

    “But you didn’t chant this time?”

    I thought you were going to say something cringey like ‘Nth-level magic!’ every time you used magic.

    She asked him because she was wondering why he chanted when using magic before but didn’t chant when using higher-grade magic.

    “That’s a single-target magic, and this is an area-of-effect magic.”

    “So what?”

    “Are you… really a complete idiot?”

    “I’m not!?”

    It’s just that she doesn’t have much knowledge about magic except for the basics.

    Huh? Why would a normal person who can’t use magic need to know about magic!

    “Single-target magic and area-of-effect magic are practically different types of magic. I mainly train in area-of-effect magic, so my level in area-of-effect magic is much higher than my level in single-target magic.”

    “Ah…. Cough!”

    As he said that, Jin Ha-jeong blew a rather large gust of wind towards Ha-yeon in front of him.

    Seriously.

    “Hey!”

    “More importantly, let’s go. We need to check what’s behind that door, right? Who knows? There might be treasure.”

    “Okay, let’s go!”

    Immediately switching gears, she strode towards the door with confident steps.

    Kicking the corpse of a monster in the middle to the side.

    I want to take the corpse, but I don’t have a backpack… Ah, right.

    “Hey! Can you put the A+ grade monsters in your subspace and give them to me later?”

    “Are you now using the Association President as a porter?”

    “Then I won’t join the Association!”

    “You’ve already filled out all the contracts.”

    “I’ll tear up the contracts!”

    “Haa….”

    Surrendering to Ha-yeon’s unreasonable whining(?), he snapped his fingers, put all the A+ grade monsters into his subspace, and after confirming that, she arrived at the door with satisfaction.

    “Um…. Monsters won’t come out now, right?”

    “We haven’t caught the boss monster yet.”

    “Damn it.”

    We were so busy catching them that we forgot, but we hadn’t even seen the face of the boss monster yet.

    This can’t be happening.

    “Please, please let there be no monsters here, please let there be no monsters here, please let there be no monsters here!!”

    After muttering that about three times, Ha-yeon opened the door strongly, just like she did before.

    The door opened wide, and we couldn’t help but discover it.

    “Fuck.”

    A boss monster with fierce eyes was looking down at us.

    [You have encountered the boss monster, ‘Despairing Wraith King (S)’.]

    I cursed just a moment ago, but I wanted to say that word again.

    Fuck.

    While they were messing around in the dungeon like that, an even bigger story was circulating in the community.

    A story roughly like this.

    [Title: Wait, are Sword Demon and Jeok-pung dating?]

    [Poster: PPP1102]

    I had to go near the Association today for a bit, and what is this?

    (Photo of Ha-yeon and Ha-jeong walking together)

    Why are they so affectionate?

    Why are they talking so affectionately while walking?

    Look at Jeok-pung’s expression, he’s totally smitten, lol. Sword Demon’s looks are insane.

    Do you guys know anything?

    If you know anything, write something, I’m going to stan this couple, lol]
