Chapter 27: The Secret of the Sewers

After Jae Woo finished his morning exercise and breakfast, he entered Arth.

He visited the gymnasium and then again entered the Altan sewers.

"Honey, I'm here!"

Darien is basically a thief who steals his experience points.

But being with him really makes things easy.

After all, for him, picking up every bone will not torture his back.

"U-shape," Darion groaned.

He regretted having to travel with Conou again.

Seeing Darion's expression, Conou's mood deteriorated and he said, "When you were attracted by Ariz's delusion, who saved you again?"

“... It's you, Sir Kang. ”

"Then do your job. You look like you're forced to eat. ”

"Oh. I understand. ”

Darion's shoulders drooped.

Then, Conou generously said, "If you do well, I will raise your salary to 10 silver." ”

For him, 1 silver was wasted on Darion.

He used sticks, so carrots had to follow. He would encourage him with three times his salary.

But for Darien, 1 silver, 3 silver, or even 10 silver were all clumsy changes.

It was not enough to hire the last student of the Buchan Invincible Gladiator.

Not to mention that he was not at all satisfied with his employer.

But what can he do?

He is the one who accepts this bet and the one who loses it.

Besides, as a gladiator, he couldn't go back, which wasn't to say that Conou would let him go back.

In the end, he had no choice but to hold out for a week.

Darien forced himself to follow Conou.

"These are... Altan Sewers. ”

Their destination was apparently the Altan sewers.

Squeak.

The door seemed to be crying.

"Hu?"

The old man guarding the entrance to the sewer slept away like he had done yesterday.

They say that it is difficult for the old man to sleep, but this guy does not fit this description at all.

Clang.

The old man mistakenly opened the door and went back to sleep.

Conou and Darien pass the old man and enter the sewers.

Daegu Lulu.

The skeleton's head rolls on the floor until it reaches Conou's heel.

Conou had been checking the wolf statue, but his expression had gone bad.

"Honey, do your job. ”

Behind him, Darion is besieged by five skeletons, and a battle ensues.

While Conou comfortably inspects the dungeon and statues, Darien is in charge of fighting the skeletons.

“...”

Darion didn't respond, just brandished his sword as his expression turned sour.

"You were cursing me, weren't you?"

"No," said Darion, feigning innocence.

"Man, you're really not helping!" Con scolded, and went back to inspect the wolf statue.

Like yesterday's gargoyle statue, the wolf statue makes a clicking sound when the head is pressed.

The results are similar. It just bows its head. There are no noticeable changes in the dungeon.

"Hmm. ”

In any case, Conou examined every statue in the dungeon in this way.

There are 20 statues in total.

Their appearance varies, but they have one thing in common: they lower their heads and make clicking noises when their heads are pressed.

However, whenever the statue is examined, his super-intuition does not activate. More than once.

"Missed?"

The fact that his super-instincts have not yet been activated may indicate that there are no hidden dungeons within the Altan sewers.

Well, since I'm here, I might as well go through the whole place. If my super instincts hadn't gone away, I'd go find another place.

Unsurprisingly, finding a hidden dungeon is no easy feat.

At that moment, Darion approached him.

"I took care of all of them. ”

Conor held out his hand.

Darien (Darian) handed him all the bone fragments from the severed bones.

Without even thanking him, Conou continued to the end of the passage.

Darien sighed, then followed.

How much time has passed?

"It's here!"

It feels like something is here and something is suspicious!

This feeling helped him find the hidden dungeon, Ariz's Lair.

He felt it from the pool of stagnant water in the sewers.

'Is this it!'

He couldn't tell the depth of it, but his hyper-instinct felt something was wrong.

Although it doesn't look strange on the outside.

"Attention, dear. Conou said, and the dear said with an expression similar to "What are you talking about?"

"I'm going in, so make sure there are no skeletons or other users can approach. ”

After all, there are rumors that there is a hidden dungeon in the sewers, so he doesn't want to attract attention.

Or, if there are users coming, you can say that the area is under construction. ”

If the NPC Darien (Darian) said so, then they would probably believe him and leave the region alone.

Conou unequipped all equipment and dived into the pond.

After he splashed into the pond, the water began to overflow the pavement.

Seeing that sentence, Darien (Darian) whispered, "I hope you drowned." ”

The day Conou sprinkled dirt on his eyes, the humiliating loss and the resulting slave contract, and the abuse and injustice!

Darien prayed and all his grievances were wiped out.

The pool was deeper and longer than he had imagined.

However, Conou will not drown.

Conou is a skilled swimmer and can swim for long periods of time since he is currently a game character.

However, it was dark and it was difficult to see in the water.

Despite this, Cono pushed forward and continued to move towards the area that his super-instincts had marked as strange.

It didn't feel like it took long.

He saw a faint glimmer of light. That's where his super-instincts lead him to.

"pH!"

His face floated out of the water and he took a deep breath.

He looked around, his face beaming with joy.

It is a door with peculiar red characters engraved on it.

Even at first glance, this door seems special.

Cono came out of the water and approached the door. Then, he double-checked.

He was checking to see if it was a special device like a gargoyle or wolf statue.

But that's just a door.

As if the statues were just bait. There was no such device on the door, as if to mock them for trying to use the statue.

He stretched out his hands and opened the door with great force, finding that the heavy door was easy to open.

[You've discovered the hidden dungeon, Ed's secret lab, the man he resists dying.] ]

[You are the first to discover this dungeon.] ]

[Your fame has increased.] ]

[In Ed's secret lab, the moment he defends death, you gain double the experience.] Item drop rate doubled. ]

I see. These statues were used as bait to cover this door.

Those poor dungeon hunters, they've gotten the bait and are still fiddling with the statues.

If it weren't for his hyper-intuition, he would have done a lot of the same thing.

"But I do have super intuition. ”

Cono smiled.

In any case, he was the first to discover this dungeon!

He had another chance to pan for gold.

"pH!"

Darion's pale face emerges from the water.

"Hey, hey. ”

He quickly escaped the water and breathed heavily.

Conou, who had already gotten out of the car, saw it and tapped his tongue.

"Tch company. Make gladiators so pathetic. ”

Darion suddenly got angry and said, "You!"

He was the one who pushed him into the water and dragged him here.

"You?"

Conou frowned, and Darion lowered his head.

Darien (Darian) whines quietly, but Conou completely ignores him.

"Shut up and follow me. ”

He opened the door and walked down the stairs.

[Enter Ed's secret laboratory and fight against the dead.] ]

The construction of Eder's secret laboratory resembles Altan's sewers.

Arched passages.

However, there is no water flowing in the sewer on either side.

The monsters are even stronger.

They're skeleton warriors wielding rusty swords and shields!

He thinks they're about level 50.

Cono is currently at level 22, while Darien is at level 38.

They are too low to work properly.

But this is only for the average user, and Cono is a norm-violator.

He has special abilities, super instincts, has a special class, a demonic swordsman, and wields an SS-grade demonic sword.

Of course, Darien was also a student of the legendary gladiator, so the difference in rank didn't matter.

As a result, the 22nd-level Conou first challenged one of the 50th-level "Skeleton Warriors".

He had Darien deal with two of the Skeleton Warriors because he was at a higher level than him.

"Now we're talking!"

Cono smiled.

He's now fighting the skeleton warriors instead of those fragile skeletons of the past, so he feels like he's actually in a good fight.

Dakdak

The Skeleton Samurai attacked Conou. Its bones shattered together and sounded like castanets.

Cono countered and swung his magic sword.

Light

They exchanged blows for some time.

"It's really powerful. ”

Skeleton Warriors are much more powerful than beginner skeletons.

Unlike the beginner skeleton, the skeleton warrior boasted a sword, shield, helmet and armor, albeit rusty.

And it also uses very basic skills!

Thrust!

The rusty iron sword struck at him, wrapped in a crimson aura by the effects of the skill.

Conor parried it with the Demon Sword.

Kang!

As soon as their swords collided, his hand jumped.

"Hurry up. ”

Cono took a breath and swung his sword. The white line follows the trajectory of his blade.

Pare!

The skeleton warrior raised his shield.

Sonor!

His demonic sword touched the shield.

He immediately grabbed the hilt of the sword with both hands, swung downward, and collided with the shield several times.

The Dark Attack is activated on the third attack. The jet-black Kuroshio swooped down on the warrior in the form of a beast of prey.

Dhaka!

The skeleton shook its head as if in pain.

And fight back against yourself!

His super instincts are activated, allowing him to see the enemy's attack, and Cono turns, dodging the attack, and swings his sword upwards.

Warriors defend themselves with swords.

Kang!

Two blades collide!

Again!

And again!

For a while, Conou and the Skeleton Warrior exchanged blows.

But as time went on, Conou's advantages grew.

Although Cono has been constantly destroying the Skeleton Warriors, the Skeleton Warriors can't say the same.

In addition, the hero's Alich necklace is fulfilling its duties.

The Skeleton Warrior is immortal, so poison won't work on it, but its slow and splinter-spraying abilities will work on it.

Eventually, the Skeleton Warrior was defeated.

[You defeated the Skeleton Warrior.] ]

[You have upgraded.] ]

He gained a lot of experience due to the huge difference in levels.

Plus, he was the first to discover this hidden dungeon, so he gained twice as much experience.

It took a while to destroy a monster, but it was worth it.

However...

"Ahh Please come and help me when you're done!"

Darion, who fought against the two skeleton warriors, barely held out.

"You fool. Your face and face are wasted on you. ”

Conou felt it was time to abuse him and joined the fray again.

Usually, it takes about 10 minutes to shoot down a skeleton warrior or mage.

If 4 or more skeleton warriors and mages appear, victory is not guaranteed. Therefore, whenever a large group of people is seen, they have to follow a different path.

As a result, the pace of exploration has slowed down.

However, contrary to the speed of his exploration, his level rose rapidly.

He leveled up so quickly that the mouths of other users looked wide!

It only took a quarter of the time to enter the hidden dungeon, but he rose 8 levels to reach level 30.

As a result, he is able to equip the Ghost Mode armor obtained from Aris (Ashihi).

Cono is currently hiring a skeleton mage to further improve its level.

Duck

A skeleton mage in a robe is putting his teeth together.

It's casting spells.

Fire burns from its hard hands.

"Stop Darien!" Conou shouted.

The power of magic is very powerful. If he had been hit by it, there was a chance that he would have died there after that.

Therefore, he decided to use Darien as a human shield.

Of course...

"No, thank you!" Darien firmly refused.

"You!"

At the same time, the Skeleton Mage unleashed the spell.

Fireball!

The red ball of flame flew towards Kangxi.

'Damn. '

Since magic usually affects a large area, avoiding it will be a foolish move.

Due to the high amount of AOE damage, it can be damaged instantaneously.

Cono soon buried his sword in the ground and hid it underground.

Father!

The fireball hit his sword.

Its flames flew over the sword, spreading over him like the flickering tongue of a serpent.

[You take 210 fire damage.] ]

[You have been burned and have taken 50 bonus damage.] ]

[HP Remaining: 318]

He suffered quite a few injuries, but he avoided death.

At the same time, Darian's knife pierced the skeleton mage.

This is Darion's main combat skill, an important force!

A red aura permeated his sword cap, piercing the skeleton mage's neck.

Like any mage, the Skeleton Mage has very low defense.

And since it had previously been in contact with Conou and Darian, its HP was in trouble and the whole place was hurt.

In its last resistance, it unleashed another spell, but Conou was spared the spell and Darion's attack killed it.

[You defeated the Skeleton Mage.] ]

[You have upgraded.] ]

Once dead, Cono pointed his sword at the junk item.

His demonic sword devoured the old robes.

[Ubist consumes an incredibly foul-smelling old robe.] Satisfaction increased by 0.7%. ]

[Urbis's satisfaction has reached 100%.] ]

[The Demon Sword Becomes More Powerful!]

At that moment, black energy erupted from the blades.
