92 – Undersea Dungeon (2)
The Mermaid threw the spear as hard as she could to stop the reckless zombie hatchlings.
─Grrr!!
The cool spear tip pierced the zombie hatchling’s abdomen. Suddenly, a smile crept across the mermaid’s lips. She seemed to think that she had killed one.
─Grrr!!!
However, the zombie hatchling let out a strange roar and did not stop charging. He twisted his body to shake off the spear, and went ahead with the attack whether his intestines fell or not. Because it was an undead monster, that level of damage wasn’t even a big deal.
The smile on Mermaid’s face disappeared after belatedly recognizing the situation. Afterwards, she immediately swung the spear, but the zombie hatchling was already approaching her face.
─Kieek!
─Guru!!
The zombie hatchling’s long fangs dug into the mermaid’s neck. The Mermaid struggled to shake off the zombie hatchling, but her movements slowed as the green mana flowed from her fangs penetrated her throat and began to spread through her body.
‘That looks like a corrosion skill.’
The efficacy was superior to my expectations.
The flesh above the Mermaid’s neck had already rotted away, revealing her skeleton, and decay was rapidly progressing below her neck.
“This is why the undead are scary.”
Kim Young-ji, who was watching the terrible scene, said, raising the corner of her mouth.
“Yes? Yeongji-nim is also undead… Oops?!”
Seo Hanbit was about to spit out words without thinking, but Pingping stopped her by holding her mouth shut. Perhaps she was trying to ask Kim Young-ji what she was afraid of the undead, considering that her job is a zombie creator.
There is also Instructor Tak Jae-hwan who does not share secrets here, so it was not a topic worth bringing up openly. Pingpingi was very quick-witted in this regard.
“You seem to be close with Ping Ping.”
Instructor Tak Jae-hwan looked at Seo Han-bit and Pingping and talked.
Seo Han-bit was getting her butt whipped by her pingping. Like disciplining a child.
“Maybe it’s because they have the same hair color, so the two of them quickly became close.”
“I see. It’s easy to become friends if you have a common denominator.”
There was no doubt about it.
After she had such a brief conversation.
She turned her gaze back to the village.
─Grrr!!!
The subjugation is over.
Only zombie hatchlings celebrating their victory roamed the village.
“Looks like it’s over, so let’s start with the magic stones.”
We swam straight away and arrived near the village.
Instructor Tak Jae-hwan exclaimed in admiration as he watched the corpses of the mermaid and merman slowly rot away.
“Certainly, it is useful when dealing with undead monsters.”
For reference, zombie hatchlings and mermaids are both upper 3 stars.
However, this is a grade that can only be used by explorers who have an infinite number of ways to destroy the undead. It was said that the grade was meaningless if the same monsters clashed with each other.
Dealing with holy attribute mana.
As long as there is no special skill to destroy the undead, even high-ranking monsters cannot defeat low-level undead.
Of course, this is a limited story within the same grade.
If there is a difference in grade, I will take it with an overwhelming power difference.
Anyway, in that respect, the job of Necromancer was one of the jobs specialized in subjugating monsters along with the judge of light. The same goes for zombie creators who claim to be that top job.
‘If Yeongji properly revealed his occupation and joined me, it would be easier to destroy the Liberation headquarters.’
I put my soul into the lantern.
I kept looking at Kim Young-ji, who was wandering around the village collecting magic stones.
‘Rather than that, when the hell are you going to tell me the truth? After he said he would find out for sure, he hasn’t said anything until now.’
What is identity?
Since he said he was a demon king in his previous life, there is nothing more to ask.
But it bothers me about the ‘purpose’ that I can’t say yet.
At that time when I was thinking more and more deeply.
The conversation I had with Kim Young-ji in the bathroom suddenly came to mind.
[If possible, it would be better to refrain from thinking many things in your mind.]
[What do you mean by that?]
[I mean, don’t try to know anything as much as possible, and being blank will help you in the future. All of your inner thoughts are being revealed to beings from other dimensions. Well, me and other humans are no exception, but you’re going to be particularly bad.]
Did you think we were being watched?
At that time, Youngji Kim continued to look around her as if she was uneasy even in the bathroom.
After that, there was talk about fake gods and writers.
It was a topic that came up by chance.
[Anyway, the fake god who controls this world is dead?]
[The situation is, but not certain.]
[First of all, I’ll definitely find out about that with my dad. If the existence of a false god is true, then this is a unique opportunity. For the time being, beings who can manipulate our destiny…]
He shook his head.
At most, I went to the bathroom and got close to Kim Young-ji and talked like a rat. If I recalled the conversation in this way, my thoughts could be conveyed to beings in another dimension, just like Kim Young-ji warned.
‘Honestly, I can’t believe that someone is watching me all the time… I’ll have to be careful.’
I decided to stop thinking here.
And I decided to continue exploring the dungeon without a break so that I wouldn’t fall into useless thoughts in the future.
Summoning all the summons that can be operated.
***
Without a single break.
I subdued all the monsters in the dungeon.
The level of this dungeon was dramatically higher than other dungeons, so 3-star monsters were treated as junk mobs. That’s why 4-star monsters were lined up and many souls could be stolen.
After putting a sufficient number of souls into the lanterns and meeting the experience points of Kkaebi and Pingpingi, the time to evolve the Kkaebi came to an end.
“But there is a sense of a little haste. It’s strange to ask now, but didn’t you say that 5-stars evolve later?”
Instructor Tak Jae-hwan asked.
“I have something to finish quickly.”
The push for liberation is progressing faster than expected. So, I had to grow quickly to match the progress.
I shifted my gaze to Kkaebi.
“Kaebi, are you really okay?”
I asked before.
I checked again because my uneasy mind did not go away.
Even if you’ve secured enough souls, you can’t predict how the future will unfold.
Although he said he treated all summoned creatures equally.
Perhaps because she was a summoned beast that had been with her since the beginning, her innermost affection was more intense, and that made her more worried than other summoned beasts.
—Yes! It’s fine! See you later!
After Kkaebi smiled brightly, she went into the book by herself.
She doesn’t seem to have any worries.
I feel bad, like a parent who left their child at the water’s edge.
‘I’m sorry for the other summons when I think of this, but I wanted to keep Kkaebi safely at 4 stars…’
What can I do?
She insists that she be the first 5-star pet.
I’ve been asking if it’s okay not to evolve because it’s already 5-star notationally, but it didn’t even work.
‘What… It’s because we decided to respect Kaebi’s will from the beginning.’
As she was staring at her book with a nervous heart, Seo Han-bit, who was next to her, knelt down and said,
“You said the odds were 10 percent, right? I’ll be praying by your side…!”
“Oh, me too!”
Like Kim Young-ji, she knelt down and put her hands together.
Since he was doing this in front of me, it was as if he was worshiping me as a god and praying.
“Hmm. The only thing I can do right now is this.”

Instructor Tak Jae-hwan handed over his bracelet.
A total of six bracelets.
There are characters that cannot be deciphered in relief.
“It’s a lucky bracelet.”
“A lucky bracelet? Is it an artifact?”
“Yes, 300 million won each. Although the effect is minimal, it is an artifact that has been proven to improve luck, so there is nothing wrong with leaving it in the car, so take it. Oh, and it must have been about 10 days since I made this bracelet… You should be able to use it for another 20 days.”
It seemed to have been brought with the feeling of a gacha probability increase item.
I didn’t expect you to come prepared for things like this.
With gratitude, I wore three on each side.
I immediately checked the encyclopedia.

As of today, all experience points are met.
Maseok is supported by Instructor Tak Jae-hwan.
All the fragments were collected through the dispatch search.
What is a dispatch search?
It refers to a search in which you do not enter the dungeon yourself, but instead send summoned creatures to go around the dungeon.
Of course, I hired a searcher to lead my summons.
In this way, the dwarf fragments were easily collected in Korea.
The Goblin Fragment was not available in Korea, so an association employee helped.
I checked the other day.
Shards also came in the encyclopedia when the summoner who entered the dungeon and subdued the monster left me behind.
It’s coming soon.
It was said that the fragments could be acquired no matter how far away they were. Even on the other side of the globe.
In the first place, since the dungeon itself was a different dimension, the distance from Earth had nothing to do with it.
Anyway, using that point.
The association staff collected the fragments by taking the fire dwarves and the ice dwarves around overseas dungeons.
‘Ingredients are sufficient…. I also took out the lantern…’
After I took a deep breath.
I swallowed dry saliva and raised my hand.
‘···Youngji said that there is no female type of Duooksini. Then there is only one answer.’
As it is, I clicked on the illusion of darkness.
