91 – Undersea Dungeon (1)
If you keep walking along the pier, a little away from Haeundae, you will come across an abandoned beach.
A signboard installed at the entrance of a beach covered with all kinds of garbage.
‘Tsunami Beach…’
The name as seen in the original work.
It was certain that this was an area where an undiscovered special dungeon was sleeping.
‘There can be no two beaches with such a hopeless name.’
We moved on and on.
Then Seo Han-bit looked at the object in front of him and hesitated.
“Is it okay to go in?”
It was because of the box with the words 「No Entry」 Written on it crookedly.
I calmly raised my foot and kicked the box.
“Why would someone who sneaks in anywhere care about this all of a sudden?”
“…That’s right.”
Seo Han-bit quickly agreed.
It seemed that the upright spirit he had harbored in the past still lingered and pierced his conscience. It seems that even that conscience has disappeared now.
“But the real illegal dumping is serious. Oh, it even smells.”
Youngji Kim, who was walking ahead, frowned at her and pinched her nose.
Others, including myself, had the same reaction. This place is more like a garbage dump than a sandy beach. Because it was left untouched by humans for a long time.
‘The smell gets worse and worse the further you go in.’
A rotten smell from dead fish washed up by the rising tide mixes with the stench from all sorts of garbage. It was a disgusting smell that would not be strange even if a normal person fainted.
“Hyeonseong, you said our destination was a raw fish restaurant, right? When will you arrive…?”
“You are almost there.”
Seo Hanbit seems to have reached its limit.
She was thinking about taking some slime out as a substitute for an oxygen respirator.
“Hey, isn’t that right?”
Instructor Tak Jae-hwan pointed to a building and asked. It was an old building that stood alone, far from other buildings. On the outer wall of the building, a signboard that read “Fresh Sashimi Restaurant” Was shaking precariously as if it were about to fall.
“Oh, that’s right. Fresh raw fish restaurant.”
A fresh sashimi restaurant.
As long as it’s the original.
There must be a special dungeon created inside that building.
It was a dungeon that was not described in the novel that Kim Soo-han read, where Han Seok-ho was the main character.
Of course, it was described in detail in the novels I read. Because it is one of the main story stages of a novel in which Kim Soo-han is the main character.
The end of the middle of the story.
It was an episode that took place at an academy picnic.
‘···Did you find it by accident while tracing the Liberation bastards who tried to assassinate you? I can’t remember.’
I don’t remember in detail how Kim Soo-han found this place, but I was able to find it because I clearly remembered the words Tsunami Beach and Fresh Sashimi Restaurant.
Anyway, at this point, it was a dungeon that Kim Soo-han did not know and only I knew about.
‘Liberation is on the verge of destruction anyway, so it’s okay if I preoccupy this dungeon.’
He is helping Kim Soo-han grow as well, so it’s okay to take this much.
We reached the front of the abandoned raw fish restaurant while supporting Seo Han-bit, who was on the verge of fainting, and slowly opened the door and entered.
The acrid smell of dust stung my nose, but when I smelled the beach and smelled the dust, it felt more like a scent.
“Um… I didn’t doubt it, but it’s surprising that there really is a special dungeon…”
Instructor Tak Jae-hwan, who found the portal while looking around his head, spoke to himself. And he looked at me and asked.
“But how on earth do you know the location of the undiscovered special dungeon?”
“It’s a trade secret, so I can’t tell you.”
“···What is a trade secret? Just say you don’t want to talk. Because I have no desire to pry.”
So we entered the special dungeon.
The theme of this special dungeon is deep.
I don’t know what the law is, but it was underwater where I could breathe naturally.
***
“Wow! It’s so amazing!”
Seo Hanbit opened his mouth like a fish.
It is quite surprising that he can breathe.
I was amazed when I came in, too.
Because even with the mouth open, the seawater did not penetrate into the body.
Not even the clothes I wore or my hair got wet, it felt like a dimensional wall was blocking the gap between our body and the sea water.
But swimming was still possible.
“Oh! Can you swim too?”
“Because it is in the water!”
“Should this be considered underwater? You can breathe and your clothes and hair don’t get wet?”
“Because it’s a dungeon!”
Kim Young-ji and Seo Han-bit talked while doing a backstroke.
All the doubts were easily passed with one word, ‘because it’s a dungeon’.
If you are a seeker.
No matter what you face in the dungeon, you must be prepared to accept it calmly without panic. A dungeon is not a place where common sense works. That’s why it was common to think ‘it’s possible because it’s a dungeon’ even when faced with such an unreasonable space.
“Youngji! Backstroke is not like that!”
“What? So what do you do?”
“Come on, try it! Her arm like this…”
But if someone sees it, they’ll think they’re here to play.
It’s a special dungeon, but there’s really no tension.
At times like this, the instructor said a sharp word…
···Instructor Tak Jae-hwan was also swimming beside him.
That’s it. Ignoring those people, I decided to summon the summoned beast first.
Open the encyclopedia.
It was the moment I was about to summon Kkaebi and Pingping.
─Slow!
─Oooh…! Kaebi is small and fast!
─Big breasts!
I found a kkaebi and a pingpingi swimming right in front of my eyes.
Have you even mastered a real stealth summon…?
Anyway, I didn’t come here to play, so I gave a warning once and then decided to move inside the dungeon without delay.
***
The first destination is an underwater village not far from the entrance.
It was a place where rugged houses made of piled rocks were gathered.
The inhabitants are, of course, monsters.
We keep a little distance from the village.
After taking cover behind a moderately sized rock, I watched the movements of the resident monsters.
Although the upper body is that of a human woman.
Monsters with fish tails on their lower bodies are wandering around the village holding spears in one hand.
“Are you a mermaid?”
From Noble mtl dot com
Seo Han-bit, who was looking at the monsters with his head out, stuck close to me and asked.
A mermaid is right though.
The official name was ‘Mermaid’.
“Yes. What you see now is a mermaid, a 3-star monster.”
“I have never actually seen a mermaid monster. After all, a special dungeon…”
The appearance of the Mermaid was quite beautiful.
Is that why?
Seo Han-bit was looking at her longingly as if she had met the mermaid in a fairy tale.
Anyway, it’s just a monster.
Kim Young-ji couldn’t take her eyes off the mermaid.
It was not the same reason as Seo Han-bit.
“Hyeonseong-ah, if I catch that, will you give me a pearl-like jewel?”
“Will you please… Not even clams.”
“Kabi.”
Not just the mermaid.
There was also a male monster called Merman.
By the way, her appearance was the opposite of that of the Mermaid.
The upper body of a fish.
The lower half of the body was a monster with human legs.
─That fish is hideous!
─Agree! It’s garbage that wouldn’t be any good if I killed it right away! Only demons can go around like that!
The voices of Kkaebi and PingPingi are sharp.
The reason was that Merman had nothing on his lower body.
“Woo-wook. What kind of fire is hanging?”
Kim Young-ji pretended to throw up and looked away.
Instructor Tak Jae-hwan looked at Merman as if he was envious, then noticed my gaze and swallowed clearing his throat.
“… First of all, it seems that mermaids and mermen are everything, so I will subdue them with my summoned beast.”
I said that and opened the illustrated book.
It is possible to subdue it with Kkaebi and Pingpingi, but since other summons are also scheduled to evolve to 4-star, it was necessary to distribute them equally.

◎Summon
★★★☆Zombie Hatchling (Yongyong)
★★★ Zombie Hatchling x4
—
The monsters to be summoned this time were five zombie hatchlings.
Zombie Hatchling is a 3-star monster,
It can evolve into a 4-star monster, Zombie Drake. The final evolution is a zombie dragon.
Another evolution route is the 4-star monster Zombie Wyvern, and the final evolution was Hydra.
‘What is the relationship between Wyvern and Hydra…?’
I had such a question, but I decided to just ignore it.
In the first place, a dwarf became a goblin.
There are a lot of rootless evolution trees where golems evolve into androids, so there’s no need to make a fuss about it.
─They’re ugly too…
Kaebi, who saw the summoned zombie hatchling, frowned and hid behind me.
The body was rotted everywhere, and the oozing appearance was disgusting. Still, since she was determined not to discriminate against summoned creatures, she stroked the sullen zombie hatchlings’ heads one by one.
─Gureureung.
The grinning zombie hatchling’s eyes popped out grotesquely. Uh… Because she is a zombie, her body’s durability is very weak. I immediately grabbed her eyeballs and inserted them into her eyes on the zombie hatchling.
“Guys. Can you see the fish some distance away?”
I pointed to the village where Mermaid and Merman live.
─Greung.
─Gureureung.
The zombie hatchling’s gaze rode my fingertips toward the village.
“Kill everyone and come.”
─Gureureung!
─Greung!
As soon as the order was given, the zombie hatchlings all flew towards the village.
And I took out the lime.
Rimei was not a lantern slime, but a monster called ‘Soul Hell’. She evolved the day before yesterday with the help of Instructor Tak Jae-hwan. It was to contain the 4-star soul.
There is no big difference in appearance compared to the previous one. It’s just like Lantern.
‘Then shall we take a leisurely look around?’
Holding a lime in his right hand.
Her gaze moved in the direction of the village where the zombie hatchling had been blown away.
