Frog in the Well (9) ― World Hell Dungeon ‘World Special Mart’

While watching Seongju’s wild show, I began to gently scrape whenever the frequency of the bullshit decreased.

It was revenge for the fluttering that had been going on unknowingly until now.

Thump- thump-

The old man, who was listening to our conversation along with the sound of the campfire crackling, also joined in from time to time as if his mouth was relaxed.

And Kang San, who listens to our conversation in eerily silent silence while looking at the fireworks.

Seongju, who ran wild as if it were his own world, Yeonggam, who kept telling witty jokes, and Kangsan, who was as quiet as a Moai statue.

While they were all bowing their heads toward the bonfire that had gone out…

[00:01:00]

I quietly stared into space and tapped Seongju’s shoulder.

“… … You didn’t sleep?”

“ You never said you slept?”

“Seup-”

Seongju, who was squinting at the corners of his eyes and making unpleasant noises, quickly shook his head and stood up.

And then he started patting Kang San, who was sleeping right next to him.

“Mr. Kang San—! Does this make sense?! How can you sleep when everyone above you is awake now?”

Yes, the right answer was to wake up that fucking alarm clock first.

I watched the timer approaching 0 seconds as I watched Seongju waking up the two traitors.

[00:00:00]

Tiring—!

[Party ‘Gueogang’ has successfully captured ‘World Special Mart’!]

[Dungeon cleared!]

[Calculating the contribution of a party of 4… … .]

Fortunately, the dungeon was coming to an end with the mart being defended without any incident.

[Maximum contribution: Han Gu-won (58%)]

[The recipient of the dungeon clear reward is ‘Han Gu-won’, the person with the highest contribution!]

58%.

My contribution was lower than that of the botanical garden, perhaps because I arrived a little late to understand the castle’s power, but I was still the recipient of the reward.

[Check the party’s free time before receiving rewards!]

[23 hours.]

[You have succeeded in protecting ‘World Special Mart’ in a very short period of time!]

[Dungeon achievement ‘Point Lupine’ achieved!]

[You have successfully cleared the Hell Dungeon within 3 times of entering the dungeon!]

[Dungeon Achievement ‘Connections are also a skill.’ Attainment!]

[You have achieved a very high level of contribution within the Hell Dungeon!]

[Dungeon Achievement ‘It’s a bit heavy to carry.’ Attainment!]

[Reward items are calculated by adding up the party’s free time and achievement achievements.]

“It makes me sad to see someone else get this too.”

“Then will you sleep better?”

“… … no! Kang San, you’ve come to your senses! You too!”

Seongju, who was once again resting on his wrong leg, lifted his body and stood up in a straight line.

[The Awakened’s special job and City World’s dungeon rewards are linked!]

Paaa!

The sky is filled with light again, accompanied by a familiar message.

Something was slowly falling into my hand, fluttering in the wind.

Slurp!

A soft, slippery feel and warmth covering the entire hand.

This time, instead of jewelry, I held white clothes in my hand.

[No sleep]

[Grade: Relic]

[‘He said, ‘I dwell in you, and this is your land, which no one can take away.’]

[Description: The owner can deploy a ‘Heavenly Shield’ that protects the user for ‘5’ minutes every ’24’ hours. No attack can invade the owner protected by the ‘Heavenly Shield’. Only members of the ‘One Mind Salvation Church’ can use it.]

… … Fuck.

As soon as I saw the description of the sacred object, an echo of cursing and a smile bloomed naturally.

I continued to look closely at the flowing white dress that, at first glance, looked like a woman’s dress.

It was the best item, incomparable to the ‘Hand of Salvation’.

It’s such a good item that it’s hard to find a better defensive item than this.

[Dungeon clear points will be distributed to the ‘Geoogang’ party!]

[You have earned 6000 points.]

“Wow – It’s sweet, but… … .”

The lord of the castle looked into the sky and tapped my shoulder with the sword he was holding, looking at my sacred relic with eyes full of envy.

I waved my hand towards Seongju.

“… … Me? No – I just looked at it because I was jealous.”

He shook his head with an expression full of resentment and waved his hand once again.

He pointed his sword at Seongju, who approached him with his face full of resentment until the end.

Seongju sighed as if relieved by the gesture and passed the sword into my hand.

“Ah, be surprised. I thought I was hitting on honey chestnuts again.”

Even if it is a hell dungeon, is this correct?

I had to check if it was just other items like this, or if it was a reward from the Hell Dungeon that I achieved with my free time and achievements.

[Rusty iron sword]

[Grade: Normal]

[Description: It is an old iron sword that is blunt and even rusty if you look closely. However, it does not break.]

… … huh?

“It’s kind of mediocre, isn’t it?”

I nodded hesitantly to Seongju, who asked as if I had expected it.

“Well, it’s a normal sword that appears like a cliche, but it’s not a normal sword, it’s a fraudulent sword. Well, still, I cherish the sword because I got it after rolling to death on Hell difficulty.”

A sword that is of no use other than the absolute merit of not breaking.

However, I knew how strong it was that it did not break.

“If you want to have it, have it.”

The Lord of Seong hints at me as I look around at the blunt sword.

He holds out both hands to me, who frowns in disbelief, and lightly shrugs his shoulders.

“I think it’s a tribute. Instead, I will slightly adjust the contribution in the next Hell Dungeon and give the item to me hehe―”

He caught a glimpse of Seongju, who had his hands together like flies, as if flattering him, and then looked at the sword carefully again.

An unbreakable sword.

Even after thinking about it, I couldn’t think of an official who would hand me this good sword.

Sim So-young is a typical martial artist who uses her body as a weapon, and other Paladins have already become accustomed to cold weapons such as maces.

The chief only used that crude wooden spear, so giving it to him was of no use.

“I enjoyed it.”

In the end, I handed the rusty iron sword back to Seongju as if throwing it, and walked towards the newly created exit as if to prove that I had cleared the dungeon.

[Please pass this on to Ayoung (Is something okay?)]

I attached a note to the white sacred object ‘Immortality’ and put it straight into my inventory.

Seong Ga-eul, Yoon A-young felt relieved-

Now, all we have to do is finish Ju-Hye Ju, So-Young Shim, and Chae-Kyung Ha.

Hmm, but Soyoung prefers offense, like a gauntlet, rather than defense?

Or, if I get some decent armor, I’ll give it to Shim So-young right away.

Crash!

“No—! The party is behind you, but you always leave first!”

Unlike at the botanical garden, I stepped toward the exit while listening to Seongju, who was close behind me, grumbling.

Just like yesterday, bright sunlight greeted me as soon as I left the exit.

Seongju, who quickly followed me, came forward and started clapping loudly.

match-! match-! match-!

“Thank you again for your hard work! Clearing the hard dungeon and hell dungeon in one expedition! It will be difficult to find a slope like this again in our world! ruler-! To our religious leader who worked harder than anyone else, Park Soo-woo—!”

Clap clap clap!

Seongju applauds non-stop as if it were a magnet, and the applause of the two traitors can be heard quietly from behind.

The lord of the castle, with a big smile on his face, bent down like a eunuch and gestured to the gray castle visible from afar.

“Now—! Now, finally – it’s finally time for you to enjoy the full course that I prepared with all my heart! I will take you there to regroup and rest!”

I ignored Seongju’s gesture and checked Gaeul’s note saying that nothing had happened.

“If there was a problem with the minimap, you would have let me know a long time ago, Seongju?”

“… … huh? It’s really unexpected, but it’s natural.”

Seongju’s face, which had been smiling brightly as he answered, gradually hardened.

“… … No way?”

“No way.”

I smiled slightly and looked closely at the side of the castle wall, not the castle.

“… … .”

Seongju, who was looking at me with a stiff expression, sighed at my nod.

“… … They say a lazy boss is better than a diligent boss.”

“What?”

“I’m just happy that the leader is my boss! still… … ”

Seongju, who was overplaying again with his arms wide open, looked at the old man among the two traitors.

“Please give me some time to reorganize. It would be dangerous if you made a sudden move like yesterday without any defense. He is our glass cannon.”

Seongju looked at the old man and continued speaking.

“Younggam. Did you know that there is an item exhibition hall in the castle? Please wear some armor that looks useful. Of course, we are not giving it to you, we are renting it.”

“Item exhibition hall?”

“If you’re so curious, go to the castle now – no. It’s just a collection of small items decorated in the castle. Watching that, I was inspired by the guild leaders who came to auction the bidding rights, and I earned a good amount of points by renting items.”

Oh, there was that way too.

After listening to Seongju’s explanation, I nodded calmly, and Seongju hurriedly urged the old man.

“What are you doing, old man? Please wear whatever you like. Ah, if you go and tell the chef under my direct management that I called you, the chef will prepare a hearty meal for you. Put that in your inventory. ”

“… … I will go with San.”

“… … Huh?”

Seongju and Yeonggam quietly look at Kangsan, who is taken aback by the unexpected answer.

“… … Sana.”

“… … .”

However, Kang San did not move despite the old man’s name.
