190. Advent Dungeon (2)

[Durudung!]

[Advent Dungeon opens!]

[Warning! Warning! Warning!]

Roaring.

Black flames covered the entire sky.

thud. coogu palace. Koo Goo Goo.

The ground shook violently and the walls of the arena crumbled.

A wall of flames tumbled through the collapsed walls.

[Who called me.]

A crack in the sky.

The huge dragon’s eyes are looking down this way.

‘bingo.’

I’ve heard of it from Nerissa.

It is said that the current generation of the family heads of the four generations were unable to draw out the power given to them as their blood was as thin as it was thin.

What I was trying to summon was one of the four ancient servants contracted with the emperor when the empire was created. It splits the land with a single gesture and burns a mountain with a glance.

[※Caution!]

[This difficulty is impossible to clear with the current power.]

[Retreat is recommended.]

Numerous warning messages blocked my view.

I motioned away the hologram and exhaled.

Hot air rushed into his lungs. Just by descending here, the temperature of the atmosphere rose by dozens of degrees.

‘It should be this much.’

I smiled and looked up at the dragon.

His burning eyes were looking at me.

[You are a dusty human being. What’s your business?]

“Give it to me.”

[What do you mean?]

“Your strength.”

The guy’s pupils curved vertically.

[Hehehehe… Hehehahahahaha!]

Rumbling!

The walls of flame blazed fiercely.

[Danger!]

[The black dragon of the beginning]

[Halgion Siraos Lv

.

The three pairs of wings sprouting from its back fluttered.

A man wearing jet-black armor holding a jet-black long spear opened his mouth.

[Right. Are you the hero the goddess said?]

The man continued.

[It’s an insignificant force. still not enough you can’t handle this body Go back.]

“You’ll have to tell me if it’s long or short.”

[Do you have to do it to know?]

The man grinned.

at the same time.

“…!”

I knelt down on the spot.

pressure to break the body. It felt as if the blood in my whole body was gushing backwards.

[Foolish. You have to try it to understand!]

I looked to the side, barely supporting my body that was about to fall over.

Kwajijik. The ground that could not withstand the pressure was cracking like a spider’s web.

It’s not psychological pressure.

Gravity… OK.

[Master Author is stronger than expected.]

“…I see.”

To say that Yurnet is strong is true.

I grinned.

“Then you can’t miss it any more.”

[But…]

“Help me. I don’t want to be crouching down anymore.”

I heard Yurnet’s sigh.

[Really… I can’t stop Master.]

“I’ll take it as a compliment. It won’t last long.”

[I will help. Please win.]

Booung.

A dimensional door opened from above, and a two-handed sword with scales was slammed into the ground.

I knelt down and grabbed my sword.

Dragonslayer Ascalon.

It was a magic sword that could inflict fixed damage only to dragons.

Here, if the user has the dragon killing skill, the efficiency is amplified several times.

[Activate Ascalon’s effect!]

A white armored gauntlet fell from the dimension door.

The iron-clad gauntlet wriggled as if it were alive and clung to my right hand.

Cheeky.

[Draupnir’s effect activated!]

Next was a small wooden box.

When I opened the lid, there was a bright red apple inside.

I took a big bite of the apple and asked.

[Activating the effect of Idun’s Apple!]

Numerous weapons began to fall from the dimensional door.

[Effect of Eye of Argos activates!]

[Fragarah’s effect…]

[Megingijord’s effect…]

This is your last chance.

I was saving it for now.

‘Exceed.’

[‘Han (★★★★)’ has entered an exceed state!]

Hundreds of kilograms of pressure were pressing down on his body from all sides.

I gritted my teeth. After grabbing Ascalon, he stood up firmly on the ground.

[Ho-oh.]

Ho-oh is a piece of shit!

I turned the blade and charged at the one who was looking at me.

[Skill ‘Sword Spirit’ activates!]

Two bang!

first.

The sword soul filled with power exploded at the black dragon.

Dark dust rose with the flames.

As the body tried to scream at the recoil damage, a cold aura surged from the navel and wrapped around the whole body. It was the effect of Idun’s apple that temporarily amplified the healing ability hundreds of times.

[Skill ‘Sword Spirit’ activated!]

[Skill ‘Sword Spirit’ activated!]

[Skill ‘Sword Soul’ activated!]

With a power that I couldn’t even dream of, I hit the Sword Soul one after another.

Every time he wielded Ascalon, red lightning of the dragon’s slaughter element bounced up, and the damage received from the recoil of Exceed and Bladed Sword Soul was constantly restored by the influence of Idun’s apple.

The body was recovering, but the pain did not go away.

I gnashed my molars and swung my sword.

I couldn’t really rest. I could clearly see him standing amidst the dust and sparking rocks.

‘It’s too much.’

Even if he used Niflheim’s weapons, the odds were not 100%.

Such a risky gamble. In the past, I would never have done something like this. You can get the advanced imprint later when you have grown enough.

But…

‘I can’t do that.’

I still remember it when I close my eyes.

If I had been stronger back then, I wouldn’t have had to see that.

Going through it twice is a specification.

[Hehe, it’s fun. I can feel your tenacity.

”

[In that case, I’ll gladly deal with you! pass the test I, Halgion Siraos, will check to see if you are qualified!]

Kwaaang!

In the flash, he jumped up.

It flapped its wings and pointed its spear at me.

“I have a question for you.”

[What is it?]

“Is the cheating test okay?”

[It doesn’t matter as long as it passes.]

“That’s good.”

This baby.

It is a monster that exceeds expectations.

If it’s the highest difficulty level, it’s normal to have already been scattered and spread out, but

seeing as there is a limit to tempal, it seems that he’s a guy who only appears on the devil level difficulty.

‘Because it’s called the beginning of something.’

“Yurnet, open another door.”

[As directed.]

A second dimensional door opened from the back.

With this, the third chance to summon a weapon was blown away.

There is no regret. Now was the real time to use this power.

I draw everything I can write.

I flicked my right hand.

Quarreureung! Gungnir, who had become lightning, slammed down on him.

Thrown weapons followed one after another like thunderbolts.

“Take all the equipped items and attach them.”

[Yes.]

It worked well because the examiner was kind.

All of the equipment I am wearing is of the highest quality, but as long as the user is a low level user, it is not even half as efficient. However, since there are so many of them, it will be covered somehow.

“…ha.”

I quietly exhaled while wearing the special item.

Yongin was looking at me. It was a monster that didn’t even get scratches on its body even after hitting the dragon’s sword soul several times. Attribute Immunity has dominance over special attributes in bonuses.

‘It’s definitely the highest quality imprint.’

If you can pass this test.

I turned Ascalon’s blade and kicked it into the air.

and.

thud.

I tossed the broken Ascalon in half.

Then he sat down on the floor.

The characteristics of this guy could be summarized in one word.

dirty stubbornness. Even though he had slashed with all sorts of effects in the exceed state, he couldn’t inflict any damage. The wound I inflicted was only enough to break one of its six wings.

[It’s over.]

“It’s over.”

After a brief reply, I spat out blood.

Niflheim’s weapons were all reverse summoned. Some of them consumed durability and some had their duration expired. Anyway, the important thing is that this guy didn’t do much damage. I can only blame myself, the user. ‘Obviously

, the difficulty level

of Advent was the highest…

I clicked my tongue. Did you miscalculate No matter how strong I want to be, I’m not stupid enough to challenge a fight that I can’t win. If it was a top-notch Advent monster, it would have been easy to defeat by using an item summon.

‘If it doesn’t penetrate, and it doesn’t work with the non-attribute or the dragon’s slash, what’s the weakness?’

If I had had a little more time, I would have been able to find a strategy, but…

it’s too late now. Communications with Yurnet were also no longer connected.

[…]

The man is looking down at me.

However, his expression changed slightly. At first, it was like looking at a bug, but now he was looking at me with interest with a smile on his lips.

[Is this enough?]

“Yes.”

[What’s good?]

The man smiled and folded his wings.

The flames that covered my whole body, the pressure that weighed down my body, and the black light that colored the sky had disappeared before I knew it.

[The test passed.]

“…?”

[I heard you called me to gain strength even though you knew the truth.]

What is this guy talking about?

[Wait, I looked at your memories. You… you’re from another place. Besides, I feel something strange. It’s so subtle.]

The man’s pupils bent vertically.

It was a piercing gaze.

[It doesn’t matter.]

“…”

[I don’t like them either. I don’t want to shoulder that much, so I’m giving up. Aren’t there only cowards gathered together? I like you because you look different.]

The man threw something on the floor beneath me.

It was a transparent shining bead.

Black flames were burning inside the palm-sized ball.

[Take it.]

The man glanced back at me, then kicked off the sky and flew up.

After a while, his back figure disappeared.

[Stage clear!]

[You have cleared the Intermediate Advent Dungeon.]

[You have obtained the special stamp ‘True Black Dragon Blood (A)’. The imprint can be given to a hero who has challenged the dungeon.]

[Available hero – ‘Han(★★★★)’]

The clear message came to mind.

‘I don’t know.’

I stood still and looked into the marble.

[True Black Dragon Blood (A Lv. 1)]

[Blood that proves the pure lineage of the ancient Black Dragon. There is tremendous power.]

[Effect: All attribute defense +10%]

[Inherent skill: Black Dragon Rin (Duration: 1 second)]

It’s A-class.

It’s a low rating for such an uproar.

Although the effect was upgraded from physical magic defense increase to all property defense power, there seemed to be no other special abilities. I don’t think the unique skills have changed much either.

‘No way…’

Was it fishing?

It was a fairly high grade for an A-class engraving, but compared to the top-notch Advent Stone or Weapon Summon I invested, it was an outrageous exchange cost.

“…”

He shook his head.

You’ll know the details once you use it.

I took out a wrapping cloth made of magic silk and wrapped it around the marble. If you recklessly put an imprint in a state that is not in good condition, you may fall into contamination. The imprint was going to go back to the waiting room and try it after finishing the maintenance.

I came out through the exit at the back of the field with a cloth in my hand.

[How was it, Loki? huh? Huh?]

As soon as I came out to the square, Issel followed me.

I handed the cloth I was holding to Isel.

“Give it to me tomorrow evening. I’ll hit it then.”

[okay! Let’s see, wow, it’s class A! Also Loki. As expected…]

Isel, who had been chattering, looked at me and then spoke quietly.

[Is something bad happening?]

“Not really.”

I frowned as I climbed the stairs to the next floor.

Even after returning to the waiting room, the aftereffects of the battle had not gone away, and every corner of her body ached and numb.

‘Damn it.’

Even if it wasn’t an S-class imprint, it could become stronger depending on the growth and combination, but it was clear that the result was not good.

The resin doesn’t fit at all.

How much did you invest?

Compared to my level and rank, even this level of engraving is not noticeable, but still.

‘It’s true that there is synergy.’

Damage immunity is an effect that goes well with Exceed and Blade Soul.

But something… I wanted a stronger effect. It’s just an A-class after holding on to the form like that. I’m not a complete jerk.

I decided to test the imprint starting tomorrow.
