“… . ”

Seeing the message, Soo Hyuk frowned wondering, what did it mean?

‘Ah . ’

After thinking a little, Soo Hyuk was able to solve the mystery .

‘Title! It’s all because of the title . ’

He had obtained the title “The Master of Poison” by continuously eating poison for 30 days straight giving him a poison resistance . So the reason he wasn’t poisoned must have been due to the effect of “The Master of Poison . ”

“Fire Spear!”

Soo Hyuk threw the magical spear at the wolf-orc chimera to check its health .

‘How much damage did it take?’

Soo Hyuk lost some of his health . But, judging from the loss, the chimera must have taken some damage as well .

Of course, it was nothing to worry about . The health he lost was only about 2000 while his total health exceeded 110,000 . Even if a fragment was damaged, the chimera could be beaten in no time .

Kwang!

While Soo Hyuk was lost in his thoughts, the fire spear hit the wolf-orc chimera causing it to let out a scream .

“Poison Chains!”

The monster let out two different screams each from a different head as Soo Hyuk cast his spell . The poison chains greatly reduced the chimera’s speed; he didn’t want to give it any chances .

The chimera whose speed was slowed down due to the chains, let out two painful screams as it slowly approached him . At the same time, Soo Hyuk opened his mouth to cast ‘Poison Spear’ toward the approaching Chimera .

“Poi…?”

But Soo Hyuk was forced to stop midway .

‘Did it just close its eyes?’

He watched as the orc slowly closed its eyes and didn’t let out a scream anymore . The only one screaming was the wolf now .

‘Is he dead?’

In this situation, all he could presume was the orc was dead .

Thud!

And not long after, the wolf, which was approaching at a slow pace, fell over . The fallen wolf’s eyes were shaking and soon it completely closed its eyes . As soon as the two-headed monster closed their eyes, a message popped out in front of him .

-Mutated Orc Skin!

-Mutated Wolf Skin!

The dropped items were the monster’s skin . And they were rather special as it was not just the normal kind but the ‘mutated’ skins of both an orc and a wolf . But Soo Hyuk didn’t have time to look at that window .

[Leveled Up!]

It was because of this message .

‘Leveled up?’

Why did a level-up message appear?

‘But, it was 85%?’

Soo Hyuk’s experience bar had been at 85% .

“I just caught one of them and already caught up to the other 15%, huh?”

He couldn’t believe just one chimera increased his Experience by15% .

“Is it natural to have that much health?”

That chimera’s health had been over 100 million . Now that he looked at it, the Experience jump was natural .

Soo Hyuk acquired the dropped items and opened a character window .

***

‘That’s 16 % . ’

He thought his experience raised by 15%, but it was 16% instead Of course, it wasn’t very important . Though, Soo Hyuk thought he would invest all his bonus in wisdom .

‘Is it possible for me to reach level 200 today?’

He thought it would take several days to achieve Level 200 . However, based on this amount of Experience, it might be possible to reach level 200 in a day .

As soon as Soo Hyuk closed the character window, he returned to the entrance where both Kamian and his Guild members were waiting .

Tadak!

Ketoto, who was waiting at the entrance, flinched when he saw Soo Hyuk running towards him .

“Come back! I’ll tank!”

Ketoto shouted .

‘…Oh, no . ’

Hearing Ketoto’s shout, Soo Hyuk could understand why he was running . They must have misunderstood the situation . Soo Hyuk smiled and said .

“I got it . ”

Stop!

Ketoto, who just turned the corner after passing Soo Hyuk, hesitated .

‘‘???”

He looked at Soo Hyuk with an inquisitive gaze .

“I already killed it . ”

Soo Hyuk answered Ketoto’s puzzled eyes…

“W-What, you got it?”

When Ketoto heard Soo Hyuk’s answer, he couldn’t help but stutter in embarrassment .

“Yes, though it did take a while . ” It certainly took longer than it takes to kill regular monsters because it had so much Health…

Ketoto was speechless .

He couldn’t say a word . He just stared at Soo Hyuk and moved on towards the right aisle .

He looked surprised after checking the passage on the right .

‘I thought he was joking . ’

Soo Hyuk never joked it was Ketoto who thought he might have . But now, looking at the chimera’s dead body lying there, he turned around and looked back at Soo Hyuk .

“How strong was the attack?” The chimera’s health was 1 million . Such a high amount is no joke .

It was not impossible to make their health decrease to 0, but it does take a long time . Ketoto, who participated in several hunts, knew it was not an easy feat to kill a chimera . He couldn’t believe in such a short time Soo Hyuk managed to injure it let alone to kill a chimera, all by himself .

“Let’s go . ”

Soo Hyuk said .

“… the map . ”

Ketoto replied and followed Soo Hyuk to where Kamian and the rest of the guild members were waiting .

“I don’t think you need to worry about the chimera at the entrance . ”

Upon arrival, Soo Hyuk told Kamian and the guild .

“…l, uh”

“… . ”

Just like Ketoto, the whole guild made a curious face to what Soo Hyuk said . Then, it was Ketoto who explained the whole situation to Kamian and the Koma Guild members .

“He killed it . ”

Though it was a three-word sentence, it was enough .

-Roa: It was so strong, I thought I would die .

-Kamian: Wow, that’s crazy . Was poison magic always that strong?

-K-Cross: But its health was no joke .

-Ketoto: I don’t think any tanker would be able to withstand Soo Hyuk’s magic . Party hunting is impossible .

Kamian and Koma Guild members, who were following Soo Hyuk were holding a conversation on their own . Naturally, the main topic of the conversation was Soo Hyuk .

-Roa: Last time, we were wiped out here, right?

Roa questioned while looking at the surrounding .

-Kamian: Yeah, I think this spot was the farthest we could reach .

Kamian, who too was looking around, answered . It was this place that he had challenged numerous times and the deepest they have ever reached .

Bang!

Looking around, Kamian, who was lost in his thought, was waiting for an earth-shattering roar .

‘I’m used to it!’ Kamian thought .

-Aaouuuuu!

In front of them, a wolf-orc chimera was screaming . But its scream was for a different reason, and it was due to Soo Hyuk’s attacks .

Of course .

When Kamian saw the chimera had fallen to Soo Hyuk’s attacks, he bitterly smiled . Soo Hyuk, the man who lightly carried out all the missions that were impossible even after numerous guild members joined forces . Kamian couldn’t help but feel bitter .

-Kamian: K-Cross, what was the health of this chimera?

Drowned in bitterness, Kamian based K-Cross . He was curious about the chimera Soo Hyuk had caught .

-K-Cross: Total health?

-Kamian: Yes .

-K-Cross: 1 . 8 million .

-Roa: Wow, 1 . 8 million?

-Ketoto: He took less than 30 seconds to cut down a monster with 1 . 8 million…

Roa: Hmm, it looks like, this was the work of max 20 seconds .

-Ketoto: How on earth did he do it? I’m really curious, but I don’t dare to ask .

At the same time .

-Garan: By the way, Gilm .

Garan, who was preparing to heal Soo Hyuk without participating in the conversation, in case the situation got worse, took part and asked .

-Kamian: Yes .

-Garan: I’m curious about something .

Garan couldn’t control his curiosity and join in the conversation .

-Kamian: Go ahead .

-Garan: What’s his level, I mean Soo Hyuk? I don’t think he was registered because we couldn’t see his rank…

-Kamian: Oh, Soo Hyuk’s level? It’s…

Kamian could not answer Garan’s question . He opened the friends’ window and checked Soo Hyuk’s level .

‘…you’ve risen a lot . ’

He has gotten a lot stronger compared to the beginning . But he never thought he would rise to this level . If someone else told him Soo Hyuk’s level, he wouldn’t have believed that person . And they also wouldn’t believe that there is a vast difference in Soo Hyuk’s level and his strength .

-Kamian: 190 .

-Garan: Huh? 190?

-Ketoto: Hey, Gilm . You’re kidding!

He already expected their responses . Still, Kamian continued to tell him he wasn’t joking . No, he tried to .

“Kamian . ”

Hearing, Soo Hyuk called him, he stopped talking and approached Soo Hyuk .

The wolf part of the monster finally fell over and closed his eyes .

[Level Up!]

The message popped right in front of Soo Hyuk’s eyes . He opened the character window with a smile and looked at the message . Soo Hyuk, who invested his bonus stats in wisdom, closed the window and took a step forward .

‘It’s the first Magic Circle . ’

The experience the chimera gave was ridiculous . Even a small number of chimera helped Soo Hyuk greatly increase his Experience .

‘I’ve gone up five levels . ’

When he killed one at the entrance, his level had been 185 . But after reaching the first magic circle he had leveled up to 190 .

‘I’m sure, I can reach Level 200 . ’

At this rate, he would achieve his goal . No, it was natural to achieve it at this rate .

“???”

Soo Hyuk, who was about to move forward stopped walking .

‘A crossroads?’

It was all because of the crossroad ahead .

Soo Hyuk looked at the map to double-check it .

‘There isn’t?’

Soo Hyuk narrowed his eyes and checked again for a crossroad . But there was none .

‘Did I enter the wrong way?’

Were they lost?

The path itself was not complicated .

Soo Hyuk shook his head . He was sure they didn’t take the wrong way . It may look as if the underground waterway had a very complex structure, but in reality, it was extremely simple .

‘We should be almost there . ’

Just a little further, they should be coming up on the magic circle, but there wasn’t a crossroad on the map so he was a little confused and asked Kamian .

“Kamian . ”

Soo Hyuk wanted to ask him if he knew this place .

“Yes, what happened?”

“If you look ahead, it’s a crossroad, but on the map, there is no such crossroad . I was wondering if you knew anything . ”

Kamian stepped near him and looked at the map .

“Huh? Different from the map?”

Looking at the map and then at the road laying ahead, Kamian was shocked .

“Oh, that’s strange . I don’t think we took the wrong way…”

Kamian was left in a panic . If they didn’t take the wrong route that could mean the path before them, had never been drawn on the map .

“Sorry, we’ve never come this far . ”

Kamian, awkwardly said, who was alternately looking at the map and the crossroads . It was his first time here coming this far, they were always destroyed before they could even reach near this road .

“Then, what should we do?”

Soo Hyuk asked .

“Should we send someone for the inspection? We can ask Roa . ”

Kamian answered . There was an unexpected path, though it shouldn’t be much of an issue if they sent Roa who was excellent in her stealth ability .

“That’s a good idea . ”

“Roa!”

Hearing Kamian call her, she went to the spot where both Kamian and Soo Hyuk were standing .

“Can you please check it out?”

Kamian asked Roa…

“The crossroad?”

“Yes, there is a crossroad that’s not on the map . ”

“Ok, then I’ll be back . ”

Roa answered at Kamian’s request .

Soon Roa disappeared from sight . But of course, that was only for Soo Hyuk . He could no longer see her, as he is not in their guild and couldn’t track her .

“Come back soon!”

Kamian waved his hand at her . Looking at Kamian’s actions, Soo Hyuk guessed that Roa must have reached the crossroad .

Not long after Roa left .

“What the? It’s blocked, we can’t see anything . ”

Kamian said .

“Where did she go?”

Soo Hyuk asked Kamian . It was because he didn’t know whether she went to the left or the right .

“She went to the left and…”

Kamian answered but couldn’t finish his answer .

“Shit!”

Kamian, who stopped talking, flinched .

“Oh, my…”

Soo Hyuk looked at Kamian’s reaction but soon he had no choice and asked what was going on . Kamian responded to his question .

“Roa’s dead”
