Blaze.

A large guild with roots in most of the continent, and Hongyeom is its vice guild master.

Jaina Veronica couldn’t help but be surprised after a long time.

“To think she’s fast not only in terms of combat power but also in judging the situation.”

The place she was currently located was in front of the corpse of the Abyssal Chimera, which the first team had killed not long ago.

The corpse of the monster, split in half and dead, was disgusting, but it was nothing to her, who had crossed the line between life and death dozens of times.

“Did Ha-yeon kill it?”

The traces of the bisected corpse were presumed to be the final blow.

The cut surface was cleanly cut.

It couldn’t have been cut with Kaede’s Black Stream.

If it had been cut with Black Stream, it would have been torn to shreds.

It looked as soft as a river on the outside, but when you actually saw it attacking, it left behind a sight as if a beast had torn it apart, and that was Kaede’s Black Stream.

Fallen doesn’t use a sword, so Ha-yeon probably delivered the final blow.

She hadn’t seen her swordsmanship skills in person, but if her alias was ‘Sword Demon,’ she must be amazing.

“Veronica! Don’t mutter over there, come and help!”

Ellen, who was standing nearby, shot a spear made of water at a Monster.

Although made of water, it was much sharper than a spear made of ordinary metal, penetrating the Monster and killing it instantly.

Watching the scene, Veronica turned her gaze from the corpse and looked at the Monsters around her.

Snap!

Veronica snapped her fingers at the Monsters around her, and the flames spewing from her fingers grew larger and larger, engulfing the Monsters.

Ellen, whose main attribute was not attack, could kill them instantly, so there was no way Veronica couldn’t kill them instantly.

To those who didn’t know, the huge flame, no different from the Hellfire of hell, burned the Monsters to a crisp, and Ellen spoke to her as she watched the scene with satisfaction.

“Reynolds went nearby, right?”

“Yeah. That’s what I sent him for in the first place, right?”

Although they were in the same second team, their range of activity was completely different, so they had never met except when they took the helicopter together.

The last time she saw him was when he cut off the heads of the last three members of the New King Church in one blow.

Veronica had killed most of them with flames, and Reynolds must have thought it was okay to leave, so he jumped out of the helicopter and went straight to the ground.

He was probably massacring Monsters right now.

The last team landed on the outermost side before them and began searching for survivors.

She didn’t know them well because the last time she saw them was when they jumped out of the helicopter.

If they were ranked as high as 8th, Veronica and Ellen wouldn’t be able to beat them even if they combined their strength, so they wouldn’t die anywhere.

“Divine Flame Arrow.”

She made a bow made of flames with her left hand and aimed.

With her right hand, she made an arrow of fire, pulled the bowstring, and then.

“Hong.”

With that death cry, the arrow flew towards the elite Monster nearby.

The ultra-high temperature arrow, which lightly scorched the surrounding buildings and even melted them in severe cases, flew in a straight line and became embedded in the elite Monster’s hard scales.

-Kyaaaaaaaa!!!

“How noisy.”

Blaze Storm.

Snapping her fingers much harder than before, a huge storm of fire began to blaze from the arrow embedded in the elite Monster.

The storm of fire burned the elite Monster’s body completely, and it died before it could even approach her.

“Hmm… Was that too much?”

“It was too much! What if you burn all the materials too! Even if it’s a lower rank than what Ha-yeon caught, it’s still an S-Class Monster!”

Ellen shouted at Veronica, who muttered as she looked at the charred corpse that had turned to ashes.

At her words, Veronica scratched her cheek and said.

“I’ll be careful next time.”

“That’s the 20th time you’ve said that…”

Ellen, who seemed exhausted, sighed and sat down on the flattest spot among the surrounding debris.

While catching her breath.

“Radio?”

It was Team 1.

The gate entry had begun.

“I’m in front of the gate now. I’m about to enter.”

-Understood. We’ll try our best to keep the Monsters from going there. We’ll go in as soon as we’re done cleaning up here.

“Hmm… I wish you could come in as soon as possible… I don’t think we can catch the boss with just the two of us.”

It was just an irregular Dungeon, but two S-Class Hunters were struggling against the Lich King of Disillusionment, the boss of an A-Class Dungeon.

She was ranked higher than Jin Ha-jeong, but it didn’t seem like she could transcend the grade, so she had no choice but to request support.

-We’ll try. Good luck.

“You too.”

-Beep.

With those words, the radio was cut off.

Ha-yeon, who handed over the radio, took a deep breath and looked at the gate in front of her.

Her whole body was shaking from the huge mana felt even outside the gate, but she couldn’t stop.

“Then let’s go.”

At her words, Kaede nodded and walked towards the gate.

As soon as she stepped into the gate, which was a mixture of ominous red light and sticky, unpleasant blue, the first message that greeted us was.

[You have entered the S+ Class Dungeon ‘Black Beasts’.]

[This place exceeds your skills. Be careful.]

It was marked as S+ Class, as SS Class was a grade newly created by humans, but its power would be different.

‘More than that, it exceeds my skills.’

[The Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash’, warns you to be alert, saying that the System is right.]

This was the first time she had received such a message since becoming an S-Class Hunter.

It was also the first time she had received a warning message from the Constellation.

Anxiety dominated her whole body, but she brushed it off and looked ahead.

“A village…?”

And the sight she saw was shocking.

It was literally a village where people lived, although it was medieval.

And she was in the center of the village.

Moreover, Kaede and Fallen, who were clearly around her, were not there.

What is this…

[You have entered a themed Dungeon for the first time.]

[Starting the explanation.]

“…Theme?”

A Dungeon with a theme.

She’s never heard of it… No, she has.

‘Sometimes high-level Dungeons have themes.’

The System assigns roles, and the Hunter must faithfully follow those roles and attack the Dungeon.

If they don’t follow the role, they will be immediately kicked out of the Dungeon and penalized.

It was a very rare Dungeon, but she had heard of it.

[The theme here is ‘A village in a remote area attacked by Monsters awakened after hundreds of years’.]

The theme is so long.

[Your role is ‘Wandering Knight’.]

[Checking the outfit status, changing the role to ‘Knight Commander’.]

[You are the Knight Commander, respected by everyone in this territory.]

[But that’s why you must not betray the faith of the people. You must go out to hunt Monsters with knights or soldiers once a week.]

[Role condition ‘Monster subjugation once a week’]

[Gate time ratio 1 (outside): 7 (Dungeon)]

“Knight Commander…”

She was a Wandering Knight, but she became a Knight Commander because of her outfit…

Considering her uniform, it was understandable.

Moreover, if the condition of the role was to subjugate Monsters with knights and soldiers once a week, it would be quite easy.

By the way, the time ratio between the gate and the outside world is different.

This was the first time she had seen this.

[The Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash’, says that sometimes, when high-level Dungeons are developed to the point where they form a civilization almost as developed as the outside world, the time ratio may be different.]

[The Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash’, says that this is very good.]

That’s right.

If one day in the Dungeon is seven days in the real world, instead of one week in the Dungeon being one day in the real world, the time difference is enormous.

“More than that, I have to find Kaede and Fallen…”

“Knight Commander!”

“…..”

“Over here!”

“Ah… That’s me.”

When she first heard it, she didn’t think it was her, so she didn’t answer, but when she thought about it again, she realized that it was calling her, so she turned her head towards the source of the sound.

Then she saw a little boy.

“My mom told me to give this to you!”

“Ah, thank you…”

She felt strangely uncomfortable.

Seeing it like this, she felt like she had stolen the life of this Knight Commander.

‘No.’

She was here to attack the Dungeon.

Thinking that, she looked at the object that the little boy had given her earlier.

When she lifted the cloth, she saw a potato.

………Potato?

“Potato?”

It looked like an ordinary potato.

But she felt a little mana inside…

[The Constellation, ‘Moon-Cleaving Flash’, says that it is an unusual object and displays the information.]

+++

Item Name: S-Class Specialty Potato Filled with Earth’s Mana

Rank: A-

Type: Consumable, Specialty Product

Effect: Increases vitality. It also provides a weak recovery effect and a sense of fullness. Attack power, defense power, and agility are temporarily increased.

Contents: A giant potato grown with high mana density in high-level Dungeons of S+ Class or higher.

It is filled with mana flowing through the earth and boasts much better performance than most consumables.

But still, a potato is a potato, so don’t be greedy because there are no amazing effects.

+++

“……”

Apparently.

The inside of the high-level Dungeon seems to be much, much, much more amazing than she thought.
