Return To Level Up

Chapter 181

“Now, would you like to take a look at this?”

Renat unfolded a huge map. It wasn’t just one, it was several. He was a map of the world cut out by country.

There were dozens of large maps with a side length of more than 1 meter.

Renat carried all of his data in his child space. It was because he wanted to do research whenever and wherever he wanted.

So was his map. This was one of the materials that Renat had been studying during that time.

Hajin Kang glanced at each map.

There were red dots all over the map.

“This red dot is the location of the huge dungeon that has appeared so far.”

Upon closer inspection, each point had a date stamped on it.

It was the date it appeared and the date it was closed. There was only one date that was not closed yet.

Obtaining this kind of information was not difficult in the Guardian.

“Now, let’s look at this.”

With those words, Renat took out a thick notebook from the subspace.

When I opened the notebook, it was full of scribbles and words.

It wasn’t organized properly, so I couldn’t quickly figure out what it meant just by looking at it.

Renat was next to Ha-jin Kang and explained, pointing out the graffiti and writing on the notebook one by one.

“These are inscriptions and patterns found in ruins in the Rocky Mountains. And it’s from Amazon. Here’s what I found in a recent photo sent to me from Japan.”

Renat explained, flicking through the notes.

And he looked at Ha-jin Kang with a smile of conversion.

“Come on, take a look. Let’s start with Japan first.”

Renat, who unfolded the map of Japan, pointed his finger in one place.

“This is the place where the ruins we found in Japan are located.”

Ha-jin Kang nodded his head, and Lenat said as she touched a part of the notebook with her hand.

“These words and glyphs are a way of indicating location.”

“location?”

“It means direction and distance. Now, if we analyze this pattern, it means this direction. This phrase means distance. Interpretation of that becomes this point.”

A red dot was stamped on the spot where Renat touched with his finger.

“It’s not just this one.”

Renat has since then contrasted the giant dungeons throughout Japan with the locations indicated by the texts and patterns.

All matched exactly.

It didn’t end in Japan, but I also checked information from other countries. There was a lot of information about relics that Ha-jin Kang had not yet confirmed, and he identified the location by collecting similar patterns and texts in them.

Surprisingly, huge dungeons appeared in most locations.

“There were places where there were no giant dungeons yet, but honestly, isn’t this just a matter of time?”

Hajin Kang looked at each location marked in the notebook with curious eyes.

Surprisingly, it all came together.

Renat said in a confident tone.

“The purpose of these coordinates is not only to predict where a giant dungeon will appear.”

Kang Ha-jin wondered what else was going to happen, and looked at Renat with a curious expression.

“This is the real thing.”

Renat put down the map one by one on the floor this time. Of course, not all of them were attached, but only a few important ones.

“If you look at this, a huge dungeon has already appeared, but there are many things that do not have coordinate information yet.”

Kang Ha-jin’s eyes lit up at those words. Something flashed in my mind.

Renat laughed at the change in Kang Ha-jin’s expression.

“The Master expected it too. Yes. Conversely, you can track the location of the ruins. Through the location of the giant dungeon.”

Hajin Kang looked at the map, the notebook, and Renat alternately with a curious expression.

Renat smiled happily and took out another notebook from the subspace.

“So this is the result.”

The notebook was filled with information about the undiscovered remains, which was extracted by synthesizing the location of the giant dungeon and the coordinates of the existing ruins.

“These days, the part that the Master is most interested in has been given special attention.”

Renat said so, flicked through the notebook Kang Ha-jin was holding, and unfolded a section to show it.

“Sahara……!”

“There are also traces of ruins left in the Sahara. The location was just right. However, the number of open dungeons in the Sahara is very small than expected.”

Hajin Kang raised his head and looked at Renat. Renat continued speaking with a meaningful expression.

“And so is Antarctica.”

Ha-jin Kang reflexively confirmed the information about the ruins of the Sahara once again.

There was a high possibility that there was a crack near the ruins.

He felt that he did a really good job signing Lenat again.

* * *

Even after Renat returned, Kang Ha-jin devoured the material he had handed over to him all night long.

The information Renat gave was not just about the huge dungeon.

It was full of special information extracted from each ruin.

Renat was the only person who was able to interpret the ancient language written on the ruins, even vaguely.

As Renat interprets them one by one, he finds bits and pieces of ancient history in each ruin.

And he put them together one by one as if he were putting together a puzzle.

Surprisingly, it was a history of destruction.

The process of the enemy’s invasion, the process of stopping it, and eventually destruction, and what happened after that was recorded little by little in each ruin.

Renat pulled it out and put the pieces together.

Hajin Kang was surprised when he read it.

This is because the existence of Gaia appeared in the history of the ruins.

In conclusion, Gaia was the one who destroyed the earth in the past.

Failing to stop the enemy’s invasion, the world collapsed and annihilated together with the enemy.

The history of destruction in the past was there, but Kang Ha-jin could guess that it was the beginning, not the end.

Perhaps Gaia has left her existence after that in some way.

And it would have had a huge impact on the new civilization.

Perhaps this Gaia was a god at the time. Of course, the truth cannot be ascertained.

In any case, looking at the appearance of those who were chosen by Gaia, it was clear that Gaia did not disappear with the past history of destruction.

And I thought that maybe each of the ruins was not just left by chance, but that Gaia’s intentions were reflected.

Otherwise, it doesn’t make sense that these regularities that Renat discovered exist.

‘Does it make sense to take a picture of the location where the giant dungeon will appear based on the coordinates?’

Surprisingly, there were even the coordinates of a giant dungeon that appeared in Hawaii.

You don’t know how surprised I was to see it.

As Ha-jin Kang predicted, these coordinates probably marked an unstable point.

Of course, it didn’t happen, but it was meaningful because it gave me the possibility to find the location of the crack.

Hajin Kang read and reread this information over and over again.

At the same time, I developed a strong interest in Gaia.

What exactly is it, and what do you want?

What does it mean to be the one chosen by Gaia, and how did it affect your return?

The scenario that Ha-jin Kang predicted was that the existence of Gaia turned back time.

To revive the once ruined world.

‘If that’s the case, wouldn’t the simplest option be to destroy the world again and start over?’

The answer to that question did not come to mind in the end.

* * *

Huge dungeons that have begun to appear all over the world have created considerable anxiety.

Huge dungeons rarely appeared alone.

He accompanied several new type dungeons around him. Also, the new type dungeon was accompanied by several regular dungeons.

When one huge dungeon appeared, dozens or hundreds of dungeons accompanying it appeared at once.

So, recently, Awoken all over the world actively cooperated in closing the dungeon.

Thanks to this, anxiety increased, but no major accident occurred.

The atmosphere was breathtaking, like walking on a thin ice sheet.

Anyway, it was only because of the Guardians and Defenders that it was so close but safe.

In particular, the recent advance of the Defenders has been remarkable.

After Ash, Jason, and Jennifer returned from Japan, they continued their vigorous activities.

In addition, Spencer did not focus on the business as before, but actively attacked the dungeon with the Defenders.

The Guardians’ activity was also significant, but the Defenders were so active that they seemed relatively atrocious.

But Kang Ha-jin was not worried.

It wasn’t a fight that would end anytime soon. You just have to keep growing as you are now.

The Guardians were constantly expanding their staff.

The number of combat soldiers increased every day, which naturally led to the improvement of the combat power of each guild member.

I believed that if I grew up like that, I would eventually be able to achieve victory.

That’s why we can leave for the Sahara so quickly.

Ha-jin Kang had all the information about the ruins in his head, and then headed straight to the Sahara.

There were a total of three suspected sites in the Sahara.

There was no need to worry about how to find the ruins in a place all covered in sand.

He knew very precise coordinates, so it was enough to just find those coordinates.

Hajin Kang predicted that the ruins in the Sahara would be similar to the ruins in Antarctica, [Crack Regulator].(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

I thought it was highly likely.

According to the knowledge gained thanks to Renat this time, cracks do not appear anywhere. It was the same with the dungeon.

That knowledge was inferred from the contents recorded in the ruins. Therefore, there must have been related knowledge in the distant ancient times when the ruins were made.

Therefore, it is clear that there is a corresponding preparation in place where cracks are likely to occur.

Just like they made a crack controller in Antarctica.

However, the first ruins discovered through the predicted coordinates were those that had nothing to do with the cracks.

[The Battle of Laes][The barrier generator installed by Laes, the master of barriers. Creates a huge barrier at a specific location. The barrier maintains energy by absorbing internal magic.]

The description alone was a bit vague, but it seemed to be a device made to protect something.

Anyway, I joined the system, and in return, I got 200 stamina and 200 mana each.

He also gained some knowledge about the barrier, and surprisingly, that knowledge was in contact with Raphasid’s book. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ;

Thanks to this, my understanding of Raphasid’s book has deepened a bit. Perhaps in the future it will be more powerful.

Hajin Kang went to find his second remains without wasting time.

Surprisingly, however, the second ruin, like the first one, was a confrontation system of Laes.

The payoff was also the same.

Kang Ha-jin was in a hurry to visit the third ruins.

Unsurprisingly, it was also the same relic.

That is, three identical ruins were made in the shape of a triangle.

It was then that Hajin Kang had an intuition.

“Is this… a device designed to protect something at the center?”

Hajin Kang unfolded a map of the Sahara Desert with the location of each ruin.

And he touched the center of the three with his fingers.

I roughly estimated where it was and quickly moved to it.

Moving in the desert is not easy at first, but while looking for the three ruins, Ha-jin Kang got used to it.

So he was able to run much faster than when he first came to the desert.

Kang Ha-jin, who arrived near the destination like that, had a strange expression on her face.

A huge barracks could be seen in the distance. And around the barracks, various large and small barracks and trucks were seen.

A lot of people were going around it.

Someone has occupied the target point.
