episode_0058

Although the dungeon you entered looks similar to the vast plains you were just in,

The scent passing through my nose was different.

“Ryuk… This is…”

Bella must have smelled it too, as she furrows her brows and looks at me.

“It’s in the dungeon.”

It’s still the entrance to the dungeon, so dangerous guys won’t come, but you never know.

go sometimes There was a bug where the boss was wandering around the entrance.

‘That’s crazy.’

It was made with only one road between the dungeon entrance and the boss room.

The production crew goes around and around and when they come back to the entrance, the boss appears! Because they made a lot of the same damn maps.

Sometimes, the boss appears from the entrance.

Just thinking about that time made me want to escape from the game, run to the game company, and destroy the production team’s pot.

Fortunately, they compensated for the bug, so I’ve been able to endure it until now.

“Krrr…”

Barnes City was the city where you left the beginner village and immediately moved to the next area.

So, no matter how high your level is, it’s between 30 and 40.

Boss is below 50.

That’s true for other dungeons.

‘Damn… I came here because of Bella…’

The dungeon I entered was a place called the Wizard’s Tomb.

There is a nerf that limits the use of magic.

Instead, if the wizard overcomes the nerf and clears, a correspondingly happy reward is given.

If you proceed steadily from the beginning, there will be no problems at all.

“Fuck.. damage Bella!”

“…Yes? What are you saying now.. Wow!!”

Bella doesn’t understand what I’m saying and hesitates.

Out of frustration, I pushed her hard.

“Kaaak!”

“Ryuk!”

As Bella was pushed away, the boss pierced his claws towards where Bella had been standing just moments ago.

A sharp claw cut through the air and cut my right arm.

Sensation of skin being torn.

I bit my molars to hold back the tears that were coming out at any moment, and cried out to Bella.

“Bella! Magic power is limited here! So… we need to catch this guy with as little magic as possible!”

“That..what..”

“Run away first!”

Bella didn’t have any striking skills to deal with the boss.

I took out a dagger from my inventory and held it in my left hand in place of my completely ruined right arm.

‘Why… my right arm…’

I’ve never fought with my left hand, not even in the game.

Fortunately, it was a dagger.

If my weapon had been a two-handed sword, I would have died without being able to do anything.

‘still..’

I look up at the boss.

A bipedal boss with a tall height of about 3 meters and arms so long that they almost touch the floor.

[Gibbon subjected to magic experiment]

Also a red name.

Even though he was a gibbon, his arms went too far.

The arm length alone is over 2m, and there is no way to penetrate inside with my dagger.

‘As expected, a one-handed sword would be better than a dagger.’

I glance to the side and look inside the inventory.

There is one one-handed sword, but it was broken during the fierce battle on the ship.

Even though it has some durability left, I would rather use a dagger that regenerates.

Using this is tantamount to suicide.

“Whoa.. Okay, let’s try.”

It felt like my heart was racing for the first time in a long time.

After I increased my level and reached the top rankings, my heart rarely beat like it does now.

Even if the level of the counter is high, equipment and appropriate skills are required. And with the use of items, no matter how bossy it is.

Because they couldn’t stop us.

My heart is pounding.

I use my heart, which is beating like crazy, as a rhythm.

Move your body slowly.

The boss also glares at me as I move.

Maybe it’s because it’s an experiment. There was a glimpse of fear of humans.

A little bit of light around the eyes.

No matter how dark the surroundings were, it was impossible to not see the guy’s glowing red eyes.

“Crraaa-!”

A provocative roar directed at me as I circled around.

and. The gibbon moves.

Nail cutting using a long reach.

His level in the game is 60.

Considering the high level, the attack skill is a one-tool claw cut.

About 40 levels different from me.

‘are you okay. The total numbers of the stats themselves will be similar.’

Due to the occupation, the total stats are similar to level 60.

Even though its attack is weaker than Gibbon, which is biased towards STR.

‘I’m faster!’

Huh-! Huh-!

I quickly dodged the gibbon’s claw cuts and tried to burrow into the creature.

“Crraaaa!”

As if he had expected my attack, he jumps back and doesn’t give me a chance to dig in.

“This… the difficulty has increased compared to the game?”

The level was still similar.

However, I have become smarter than I was in the game.

I wipe the sweat off my hands and look at the gibbon.

‘The original pattern of the guy was fingernails, fingernails, fingernails. And wide-area nails.’

It would have been like this.

Now my fingernails, my fingernails, are falling back.

If I attack from the side, he even uses a kick.

“Haa..haa..”

I’m completely out of breath.

It’s already been 10 minutes since the battle with the gibbon.

Maybe it’s because they both have similar stats. Even though there was a difference in level, there was no match.

“Now… you should have realized my intention.”

“Crraaaa..”

The voice has lost a lot of strength compared to the first time.

His strategy was simple.

The more counters in the dungeon are defeated, the faster the boss’s health decreases.

Even though I am fast in speed, I am behind Bella in terms of attack.

So, I leave it to her to handle the counter and I deal with the gibbon.

If Bella had noticed, most of the counters would have been knocked down by now and she would be giving me a signal from somewhere.

‘Please… come quickly… it’s starting to get hard now.’

My grip is gradually losing strength and I feel like I’m going to drop the dagger.

The maximum time I can endure right now is about 5 minutes.

Inside, Bella must arrive, gain the enlightenment I brought here, and catch the gibbon.

Although it is difficult to accomplish that in only 15 minutes after entering the dungeon.

‘You must believe Bellona’s words.’

Bellona looked at Bella and said she was a genius.

Even considering that she was his daughter, he said she was a genius.

At first I thought it was bullshit, but when I heard that she learned magic on her own without a teacher, I couldn’t help but nod.

“Crraaa..!”

“Yes. It means don’t be distracted.”

When I heard the gibbon howling, I turned my attention back to the gibbon and bit my teeth.

Here you have to gamble.

I don’t even like gambling that much.

Why did you come here and see me continuing to gamble?

‘Tsk!’

Even though it seems impossible… I have already lost feeling in one arm.

So, even if I give up on this…

I shouted, pointing the dagger at his face.

“Fireball!”

A ball of fire gathers at the tip of the dagger and flies towards him.

No matter how much it is a boss, it is an early area boss.

Moreover, this is not a game, but stark reality.

The gibbon, feeling that the fireball flying toward its face is dangerous, blocks the fireball with its palm.

‘chance.’

As the arm was raised toward the face, a gap was created.

I headed there and quickly dug inside.

“Cr?!”

Even though I tried to move as quietly as possible, my footsteps ended up making loud noises, probably because my body was exhausted.

When I saw the skill motion of using his remaining hand to slash his nails at me, I cut my hand towards that.

“Steel!!”

White light erupted from his hand and took away the guy’s skill.

however..

I was definitely trying to take away his one-tool skill, nail cutting.

Why is red light flowing from this guy’s fingernails?

Moment. My head went blank.

‘what? Have your skills changed? or not..’

Is there another skill?

After thinking, my head gave me a signal to avoid its attack.

But my body thinks it’s too late to avoid it. It doesn’t move.

‘Ah.. it ends here?’

My vision became dark, and I slowly closed my eyes.

‘Okay, you’re going to die anyway… why work hard? Just give up…’

See if you can do it!

I opened my eyes again, took the broken dagger from my inventory, and crossed it with the dagger.

I don’t know how my right arm can move.

just..

‘can do!’

Rather than thinking that you can’t do it, you can do it.

The thought that I had to do it dominated my mind, and my body followed suit.

[The steal was successful.]

[The skill (Sign of Resurrection) has been taken away.]

‘A sign of resurrection?’

I don’t know what kind of skill this is.

I don’t have time to think now.

“Kaaa-!!”

The crossed swords and the gibbon’s claws touched each other, creating a strong shock wave.

“Wow…!!”

I want to let go of the electric current flowing through my arm right now.

“Look back!!”

He pushed away the gibbon’s arm with great difficulty and quickly burrowed into him.

And then I stabbed the dagger towards the guy’s vital spot.

Fuuuuk-!!

The blood pouring out from the stab wound completely soaks my body.

A fishy smell and a taste of iron that I have never experienced in a game.

It was quite disgusting.

dump.

“Still.. I won. You bastard!”

The pounding doesn’t stop.

I can’t stop feeling uplifted, I want to move more right now.

Step by step…

At the sound of footsteps coming from behind, I turned my head back and swung my dagger.

bang!

“Ugh!”

From the shock I felt in my hand… my whole body lost all strength and I took a few steps backwards… shaking and falling.

“Ryuk. Are you okay?”

Bella’s voice.

It’s too late..

“It’s late.. It’s too late.. I took care of it..uh. Still.. I enjoyed it..”

After saying those words, I collapsed.

I didn’t really notice it before…

Now that I think about it, before my right arm moved, I could see a glimpse of red hair, presumed to be Bella, in one corner.

“Once it arrives.. I can’t get it quickly..”

Ah… that’s it.

There was no strength left to speak anymore.

“Ryuk-sama… No, from now on, I will treat Ryuk-sama as my teacher. So.. close your eyes for a moment.”

Belage whispers to me.

I can’t even move my head… so I just close my eyes.
