Coincidentally, it was also at that time that the spirit dragon’s metamorphosis process was completed.
[‘Remnants of the Spirit Dragon’ is running out of control due to contamination!]
Two wings protrude from the darkened light.
Kwajik.
However, as soon as the wings were unfolded, they tore apart terribly. One of the fallen stalactites mercilessly pierced the wing.
-Kiyiyi!
The grotesque scream, unknown whether it was pain or anger, was soon buried in the roar of a large stalactite colliding with the ground.
“Kyaa Whoops, the ceiling is collapsing!”
Theresa screams. Just as she said, so many stalactites were falling arbitrarily that it seemed like the ceiling was collapsing.
“You know how to avoid it!”
“How can all this- kyaa! Soso!”
Dojin, who turned around in a fuss, clicked his tongue. I couldn’t evade or defend properly, and Soso was scattered with light.
death of a party member. Dojin was heartbroken.
“I have to turn on heals and buffs before I die… … !”
The sky must have been thrilled with Dojin’s heart, and a sharp falling object fell precisely on his head.
Kwajik.
However, Do-jin avoided it by moving a little to the point of being nasty. At the same time, the gaze checks the enemy’s condition.
‘What about pollution? It’s broken to the point where it’s hard to understand the word ‘spirit’ just by looking at its appearance.’
After a clumsy resurrection, the wreckage looked more like an undead than a spirit.
The body is disintegrating in real time, just as the deferred decay is progressing rapidly.
Even so, the wreckage was desperately trying to move even as it was hit by countless stalactites.
Do-jin shouted at the thought that if he left it alone, he would surely escape from there and go on a rampage.
“I’m anxious to just leave it alone, so I need to add some dill. Add dill while avoiding falling!”
At this, Teresa opened her eyes and said.
“Are you kidding? I look like I’m going to die right now, but how can I stick to that in this situation… Ugh!”
Teresa, who was protesting, is hit by a stalactite and rolls away.
Do-jin gave up his hopes at her strange scream.
“If the party members can’t do it, I’ll have to do it myself.”
From this point on, Dojin’s solo performance began.
I don’t even look up to avoid falling stalactites.
Anyway, the big stalactite makes a big sound when it falls.
It’s no different than a condensed mass of magic stones, and the shimmering sometimes invades the field of vision.
Even with that much information, a direct hit can be avoided.
《Fireball》
shoot. one step.
Quaang.
death passes by
《Electric Shock》
shoot. one step back.
Quaang.
A lump of stalactite was stuck in front of my nose. I picked it up and the fragments brushed my cheeks, leaving scratches, but it wasn’t enough to bother me.
Dojin’s magic circuit shone again, and the magic was activated in succession.
A blunt and timeless attack hit the boss who was staggering.
Originally, the boss of this dungeon would not take significant damage from the user’s attacks.
Attacking the boss was just an act to charge a special skill.
But not now. As Dojin’s attack weakened, he steadily piled up deals on the weakened boss monster.
If the deal to break down the ceiling is 98, Dojin solved the 2nd share that would barely remain.
As a result.
Parching!
The Spirit Dragon’s body, which had just been resurrected, shattered into a brilliant light.
[The boss monster ‘Remnant of the Spirit Dragon’ has accumulated enough damage that it can no longer maintain its shape!]
It was the moment when the hot hidden dungeon ＜Lavre Lake Underwater Cave＞ was cleared.
Do-jin, who had reached that point, sat down on the floor without regret.
“I feel really dizzy.”
His vitality and mana were just barely there. It was natural since it was a battle where there was not even enough time to drink potions and take a break.
I overcame it though. Eventually, the boss monster was defeated, and the dungeon was cleared.
Now is the time to pay for your hard work.

[Clear ＜Lake Lavre Underwater Cave＞]
[Complete ＜Savior of the Spirit Dragon＞ achievement]
[Achievement Reward: Bonus Points +5]
[Experience gained will increase with the First Clear Bonus.]
[Acquisition of EXP increases with the Perfect Clear Bonus.]
Rewards with generous bonuses poured in.
Both experience points and loot.
[Spirit Essence]
Grade: S
Usage Restriction: Level 65
A jewel made from condensed spirit energy.
First, the 「Spirit Essence」 that Dojin was aiming for was shining among the loot.
As much as it was something he had longed for, it is normal to pull Dojin’s attention much more than anything else.
However, what Dojin was looking at now was not the spirit essence.
‘What is that?’
His eyes were fixed on a cluster of colorful jewels.
A jewel slightly larger than a human head in the shape of a perfect sphere.
Dojin’s instinct whispered.
‘It’s filthy expensive.’
That was an item that was not on the drop table of ＜Lavre Lake Underwater Cave＞ in Dojin’s head.
That means hidden dungeons, first discovery, first capture, and complete capture to completely defeat even the hidden boss. It was highly likely to be a special item that comes out when the gun is equipped.
Do-jin took out each type of potion from his inventory and poured it into his mouth and got up.
The tired and exhausted body trembled and protested to rest more, but Do-jin resolutely ignored the request of the body.
“Woo-wook.”
Thanks to this, he ended up gagging while walking, but Do-jin still walked like crazy and checked the loot.
[Spirit Essence]
uh. what i was aiming for But that’s not the problem.
important thing.
[The egg left by the spirit dragon]
Rating: –
An egg in which the body and energy of a dead spirit dragon are condensed.
It was an egg that looked like a large jewel.
‘If you know… Are they hatching?’
Dojin’s heart pounded.
If this is really an egg that even hatches, it’s really awesome.
However, Do-jin’s expression soon showed disappointment.
‘He’s dead.’
It was because the mana held by Al, who looked through the demonic eyes, had stopped.
There are some shimmers, but this is the basic flow that even a magic stone has.
If there was really a spirit or something similar to life inside, the mana had to move like a pulse.
“But whatever is expensive, it must be filthy expensive. This is on par with the magic stone that can only be obtained by catching a real dragon.”
Dojin quickly brushed off his regret. No, it’s a bit embarrassing to say it’s regretful.
It’s like this because I can’t even guess how long ago he died.
The Spirit Dragon in his lifetime must have been a truly transcendent being.
In the spirit realm or dragon realm, it means that you have definitely done 1st tier.
‘If something like this comes out of the egg left by this guy… … .’
An item that is difficult to see even at the end of Do-jin’s previous life.
There’s no way something like that would come out at this point… … .
Still, in case you don’t know, I’ll have to take good care of it.
It was the time when Do-jin put the things he had obtained into his inventory.
[＜Secret under the lake＞ quest completed]
[The cause of the spirit avalanche that occurred on the ground was the energy that flowed out in the process of the body of the spirit dragon disappearing.
Now that we’ve solved that, it seems like there won’t be any more wild spirits spawning around the lake indefinitely.]
[Experience gained.]
[You have acquired 10,000 gold.]
[The starting item for the linked quest, “The Egg Left by the Spirit Dragon” has been confirmed.]
[Linked Quest Occurrence]
What Jeong Ryeong-yong left behind
Class: Hidden
[The resurrection that took place for a while at the moment when even the body entered the process of extinction after a long time since death may have been a struggle to release the egg it was incubating to the world.
However, since it has been left unattended for a long time, the eggs left by the Spirit Dragon seem difficult to hatch.
If your heart still hurts, keep the eggs well and find a way.]
After reading the contents of the quest, Dojin was speechless.
‘These bastards… … .’
The only crime I had was catching the boss monster, but I became a bastard who killed the mother who desperately tried to give birth to an egg, that is, a baby even in a dead state.
‘What… It wasn’t that I wouldn’t kill him just because I knew.’
It’s a bad situation. It’s a bad thing. Isn’t it impossible to choose death instead of leaving the contaminated and runaway boss monster alive?
Still, there was a little discomfort, so Do-jin closed his eyes and said, looking at the spot where the remains of the spirit dragon disappeared.
“Live in paradise. Don’t worry, I’ll make the best use of what you left behind.”
Anyway, what I thought was a dead egg was the starting item for the hidden quest.
If you keep it and get lucky enough to break the quest, you’ll be able to hit another jackpot.
‘Usually, the problem is that it’s too difficult to move on to the next step in a hidden quest that lacks clues like this.’
Do-jin, who had organized his thoughts and turned around, hesitated.
Theresa was staring blankly into space with a sad posture and face.
“Soso is dead… … .”
Do-jin thought as he approached Teresa, who was muttering in dismay.
‘The scene where a friend or acquaintance dies in a place that looks just like reality is shocking enough. This is especially true for people who have just recently encountered virtual reality.’
The era of virtual reality, which realized an environment that is not different from reality, has more side effects than expected.
There are many people who complain of PTSD after being shocked by their own death, the death of a friend, or even the death of an NPC.
People with excessive immersion experience phantom pain regardless of the rate of sensory synchronization, and sometimes feel the pain in reality.
‘I’m not in a position to talk to others either.’
Since he had experienced all the side effects of over-immersion, Do-jin knew what she needed the most right now.
“Calm down. Mr. Soso, it’s just game over. This is virtual reality. If you’re worried, just log out and take care of it in real life. If you keep thinking about the scene of a friend dying for no reason, that will become a problem.”
That’s what separates virtual reality from reality.
“It’s not that kind of problem… … .”
However, Teresa’s reaction, which was comforted, was strange.
“Soso is dead. How much will you whine this time? You will lie down in shock. You know all too well. How to gain an edge in negotiations.”
Yeah? What is whining and what is negotiation… … ?
Do-jin’s brain couldn’t follow Teresa’s words.
Either way, Theresa thumped the floor and let out regret.
“Keugh… … ! I should have died instead. He said he was taken to Busan before. I even pretended to cry while not even crying. When I asked why my tears didn’t come out, I hit a dry eye drip. But in the end, he was dragged away.”
You might be taken overseas this time!
Seeing Teresa screaming, Dojin said with an expressionless face.
“Ah, yes.”
Well, it’s not just that I’m fine, it’s okay because I look excessively fine.
I don’t think we’re in a situation where we can share loot right now.
That side looks serious in its own way.
“You look busy in many ways, but let’s stop disbanding.”
Dojin decided to finish this party hunting here.
