Dungeon Reset

< 294 Dungeon Reset >

What does the dead have, and what does the living have?

There could be multiple answers, but Alpha's answer was "warmth."

< Erthea's body is not yet fully regenerated. But since this is the foundation frame, we need to inject it with warmth as well as offering sacrifices. >

“Warm him up? ”

[Sir, I'm going to have to put some Ondol on the bottom of Erthea.]

“Oh, I'm confident in that too! ”

It was like a faithful son-in-law to the rabbit's words, and he tried to set up a stone straight away.

I've laid Onstone on the floor of the Bosom Room before, but there was only one Onstone under Hertera.

In order to spread hot stones under the ground where HerThea crouched, we had to dig the ground first, and in order to do that, we had to move her body to another place.

< Absolutely not >

Alpha disagreed.

If you randomly move < Erthea's position, the power of resurrection may not flow properly. >

“Then what am I supposed to do? Do you want me to boil you some hot water? ”

< That's not the point of injecting warmth. It means offering a sacrifice with hot energy. >

“Sacrifice with hot energy? ”

There was something that came to mind when Jungdown said that.

Maybe he was just dealing with it before.

“Are you suggesting I sacrifice a flaming insect? ”

< Like that. Fireworms also contain the power of fire, so conditions are sufficient. but it's such a dusty fire that you have to sacrifice a lot of people. >

[Wow.]

The rabbit raises its head and looks at Erthea's body, which is showing off its massive power.

It was so big that my neck hurt.

[How many do I have to catch to fill this huge, warm body? Thousand?]

< I don't know that either. However, it is important that Erthea's body continues to ignite the fire of life so that it does not freeze. >

“We need to keep it warm. But how long do I have to keep it that way? ”

< Of course, it is until Erstea's resurrection. >

“How long will that last? It's not gonna take a few hundred years, is it? ”

< …… I can't calculate this time either. Sorry >

I asked with a shivering expression, but I couldn't confirm the alpha this time.

< But I'm sure of it. It can't be a coincidence that we discovered a burning forest at a time like this. The vast flow of the entire universe must be helping Erstea's resurrection. >

The rabbit clenches his fist with a noble expression.

[It's an incredible time to say coincidence. This is destiny. We are creating a great legend!]

“But I don't believe in legends. ”

[Sorry.]

The rabbit looks at him with a furrowed look on his face as he hangs down next to him.

I didn't think it was grand.

“It's a coincidence. We'd have found it if we needed it anyway. There 'll be more than just flamethrowers. Alpha, why don't you sacrifice the sunstone? Charcoal?”

< Oh, they will, of course, be very helpful in keeping warm. But before that, the process of filling the fire is first. >

“You have to catch a flamethrower eventually. But if they explode and die, there will be no bodies left. ”

< ……. >

[Oh, really? How do you get a flamethrower alive to the altar?]

When Jungdown pointed out the fundamental problem, Alpha thought for a moment.

< What if you get it right before it explodes? >

“ ……. ”

[…….]

It was logically perfect, making it speechless.

Among the ways of offering the offering, there was definitely a way to eat the food yourself.

In fact, Dong-min ate the monster alive every time and sacrificed.

The rabbit disagreed.

[It's too dangerous! And then if you burst open the bread in front of your mouth, you'll burn your whole face. The ceiling will be Dale too!]

< Of course, that's the problem. Or how do you swallow it after you pass out? >

[It's too dangerous. You might have to eat a few thousand, but if one of them pops out of your mouth, it's really bad.]

“... No. I don't know if I can. ”

Hmm?

Suddenly, the rabbit looks at him as he opens his mouth.

His eyes flashed dangerously and tasted again.

Grandpa.

“What does a flamethrower taste like? ”

[…… red, I guess. What the hell are you thinking? No, don't say it. I'm afraid to hear it.]

The rabbit was really anxious every time he made that look.

Suddenly, Jungdown turns to the gate and says,

“Let's go to the heavenly temple. ”

[Heavenly Temple? What are you doing there?]

“Beginner.”

[Beginner?]

It was a puzzling answer.

* * *

Stage-3 Harun.

There was a word that came to mind for the participants who took their first steps into a forest covered in a sea of fire everywhere.

It was the word ’retreated'.

Bloop!

“Holy shit! ”

“What am I supposed to do in a place like this! ”

The insults came from the mouth of the participants.

Harun's environment was very poor.

Everywhere I looked, there was fire everywhere.

You can't even open your eyes properly with acrid smoke.

The flowing flower kept blocking their way because of the frequently changing winds.

And then a tree burning overhead suddenly collapses.

Why-!

Boom, boom!

The insects sitting on the branches flock like bees and explode.

“Holy shit! Move!”

“Stop it! It's a flamethrower! ”

It was obvious how they could choose.

Defensive, evasive, or ranged attacks.

However, there were more problems even if we managed to overcome the crisis.

The explosion of the flamethrowers caused the surrounding area to become even more infernal.

Bloop!

“Oh, shit! There's more fire! ”

“Let's go somewhere else! ”

Moreover, there was a bigger problem.

The durability of items that will decrease over time.

“Now, wait a minute! The equipment is too worn out. I need to change my armor. ”

“I'm out of teeth, too! I can't even grind it with a millstone! ”

In fact, even though the participants were armed with good knives and shields, they were all consumables in the end.

A knife slaps the monster's bones and claws, eventually causing its teeth to come out, and if it comes into contact with poison or blood, it becomes more and more violent.

So participants constantly had to organize and restore their durability, and they had to find new items and wander around before they were completely destroyed.

But in Harun, it was even worse.

Here, the periodic rain from the sky dropped the armor's durability all the way down.

When you face a flamethrower, you can see the explosion that causes the sword and shield to deteriorate at a rapid rate.

But what if we just ran away from the flamethrowers?

Bloop!

Whoo-hoo!

A giant Fire Giant appeared in front of the participants, and their complexion quickly paled.

“Let's run…… I'll never catch that. ”

If only the monsters in Harun had a flaming insect, the participants would have been so happy.

Those who encountered the Giant of Fire fled without foolishness and had no intention of attacking.

Ryu Seung Woo: What if I don't catch the fireworm and leave it? Actually, that's the most dangerous thing. >

The sweet talk of asking me to tell you about Harun is making a commotion.

When they arrived at the second paradise, they had already experienced it once, so they were a bit relaxed.

Although the environment was slightly different, the basic structure of paradise was similar.

If we leave the fireflies alone, the problem will get bigger. Ghosts that eat fire insects are becoming more and more victorious. >

Yes, it is.

In fact, the ghost was the representative monster of Harun.

Oh Dongmin: Ugh, it's terrible to deal with a ghost. Ghosts are too hot to eat. Not to mention the flamethrowers that explode before they eat them. >

It was Harun who was the most difficult dungeon for the people of Dong Minh to fight over monsters.

Ji Seo-yeon: However, you have to be really careful in Harun. >

DO Min-jun: That's right. Wake up or be careless. >

Dom Min-jun's words were never a joke.

Wake up, literally.

“I see. Sleeping in the burning forest is a bad idea. ”

[It's hard when the dragonflies change. I don't have no reason to say it's hard to leave the house.]

Of course, it was an exception for Jungdown.

“I see. I should just go home and sleep when I'm sleeping. ”

[Let's do it. It's not a floating island, but don't spare the gate this time.]

< Yes, thanks to your sacrifice of the water of the world, there is enough life energy. >

Jungdown was checking out Dantokbang in the heavenly temple and planning ahead.

The heavenly temple was now floating on the burning forest of Harun.

When I came out of paradise, the rabbit and Bahamut drove and followed me straight down.

I brought it because I was worried what Sollia would do if I left it in paradise, or because I could be attacked by vultures or monster octopuses in the unseen.

[But are you sure you're gonna be okay?]

The rabbit was more than a little worried.

It seemed too dangerous for him to call it "training."

“It's okay. No problem? ”

Jungdown was about to enter the "dungeon" of the heavenly temple.

There are now close to 100 Shadow Cats with the skill of Dead Stone Lagoon Flame Insects.

“You've got four levels of Shadow Secret skill, but you don't have many Shadow Cats. I'm gonna make sure I fill it up with 20 this time. ”

[If you go in here, all the cats will turn into nightmares and attack. Wouldn't it be better to just pick them off one by one?]

“In what age? ”

Shadow cats have different personalities, so it was not easy to tame them.

Some became a guild too easily, but others took a long time.

“Some of them might be tamed by force, right? ”
