Their experience was rising so quickly that they were terrified to check their information windows.
With the exception of Hegel, the level 200ers were electrified and couldn't believe whether it was a dream or reality.
By the time they'd caught up to him, Weed was already running off again.
Running as he wrapped bandages, with eyes closed for meditation, and using the defense skill Close Eyes Tightly, he managed to save a little Health even in the middle of battle!
As long as you weren't blind, it was normal to always keep your eyes open if you weren't sleeping. Since he was raising the efficiency of his fighting as he forcibly closed his eyes, it was absolutely ridiculous.
If you carefully examined Weed's fighting method, it makes you wonder if it was made for humans to imitate!
“He doesn't rest.”
“He's probably not human.”
“He's a Dwarf.”
Hegel became irritated listening to Rumi, Bella, and Twitter's admiration.
“What the hell.”
He really couldn't wrap his head around how the situation had become like this.
Common sense!
Although he'd grown up since youth hearing often that he had no consideration, at the very least he had common sense.
Whenever he tried to use his common sense, his head just got muddled up.
“Though he said his profession was Sculptor…”
Hegel suddenly remembered something he'd said to the Black Lion guild members just 8 hours ago. It had been on the chat channel of the Black Lion Guild!
While they were resting after hunting Kramanoims on the 1st floor, Hegel had chatted with some people he knew.
Provence: Hegel, where are you now?
Hegeclass="underline" Ah, yes. I spoke to you about this before. I have to explore a dungeon with friends from my school…
Provence: Oh, that was today?
Hegeclass="underline" Yes. I've come to a dungeon in the Plains region of Dale Kingdom. Do not be surprised, hyung-nims, but I was the first to find an undiscovered dungeon.
Provence: Really?
Ject: That's a bit surprising, Hegel.
Shen: Have you already grown this much?
As large as the Black Lion Guild was, there were many people who recognized Hegel.
Finding an undiscovered dungeon was a rare and glorious deed.
Shen: Approximately what level of dungeon is it?
Hegeclass="underline" It's a low-level dungeon. Although I had expectations, jeez. It's about perfect for level 200s to come play. Whatever.
Hegel whispered quietly so his nearby group members couldn't hear him.
Ject: Don't disregard low-levelers. Even low-levelers get big quickly. You were also below level 200 not so long ago.
Hegeclass="underline" I'm not disregarding them, I just mean it's a dungeon for low-levels to play in.
Provence: You must be getting the appetite for exploring an undiscovered dungeon. You also get tense from not knowing what'll come out…
Hegeclass="underline" Ah, it's fine. It's a low-level dungeon anyways, so what would there be? I want to finish the dungeon exploration quickly and also return to the guild hunting ground.
When he was chatting like this, he heard a dignified tone through the chatting room.
Bindeclass="underline" Are your friends strong?
It was the Dwarven Warrior Bindel, who ranked within the top 3 in the Black Lion Guild.
Hegeclass="underline" No. They're weak. There's one Thief who has a higher level than me, but besides him they're nothing special.
Bindeclass="underline" Isn't your level over 300 right now? A Thief that's higher than level 300…that's amazing.
Thieves were a tough job to raise.
If they joined a party, they could use close-combat, but they often died because of their weak defense. The risk of exploring alone could not be compared to hunting with a party.
Bindeclass="underline" What kind of build of Thief is he? And what is his level?
Hegeclass="underline" He's just a little over 300. His build is probably just mainly party hunting.
Hegel cut his words short since he didn't want to flatter Nide.
The Swordsman who shone as the battle's flower.
He had some contempt towards other professions, and although he himself knew Nide wasn't normal, he didn't want to acknowledge it.
Bindeclass="underline" At least with a Thief it will be easy to explore the dungeon. Since you said something about not having a Priest.
Hegeclass="underline" Well, it's just meh. Since I'm almost entirely handling the battle. And there's still 1 Dwarf who hasn't arrived yet.
Bindeclass="underline" Oho, a Dwarf.
Bindel seemed to be quite interested since it was a Dwarf.
Bindeclass="underline" Is he a Soldier or a Warrior?
Hegel. No, he's a Sculptor.
Bindeclass="underline" Sculptor?
Hegeclass="underline" Yes. He's a hyung I know, but he happened to be a Sculptor, so… he probably won't be much help in the dungeon exploration, but I squeezed him in for the sake of the school assignment. You know, I wish I could just breeze through and defeat just enough monster. After I'm just about done with my work here, I want to quickly go hunting with you, hyungs.
Bindeclass="underline" Is that Sculptor's level high?
Hegeclass="underline" It's… I don't know. I never asked. Wasn't really interested. Why are you asking?
Bindeclass="underline" Because I worked with an impressive Dwarven Sculptor some time ago.
Hegeclass="underline" So he made an awesome sculpture?
Bindeclass="underline" Though that's true too… he was a Sculptor with an abnormal Charisma and ability to command troops. I also was following his orders mindlessly and before I knew it, we'd blasted through the dungeon in an instant. Not just me, but dozens of Dwarves were pulled in by his control.
Hegeclass="underline" I'm surprised there's a Sculptor like that.
Bindeclass="underline" That wasn't all. His cooking skills were also outstanding. If you just ate the food he made, the fighting became even more ridiculous. The miscellaneous ingredients that went through his hands became an invigorating meal that made you feel strength was surging into your body.
Hegeclass="underline" For a Sculptor to have that level of cooking…
Bindeclass="underline" It was really comfortable because he also repaired weapons and armors that were in bad shape. If that Dwarf repaired it for you, items that were damaged beyond its durability limits were also restored.
Hegeclass="underline" What? Durability limits can be restored? What are you talking about… is there such a thing?
Hegel didn't know that items past their durability limits could even be restored.
Provence: Bindel hyung-nim, does that mean durability limits can be restored?
Ject: So you can return completely ruined weapons or armors back to perfect condition?
The majority of the Black Lion guild members didn't know this. Although the Black Lion Guild had a considerable number of high level users like a prestigious guild, they didn't know much about repairing the durability limit.
In the first place, there were hardly any cases where the durability limit of weapons or armors lowered by a lot while hunting. On top of that, they had never met a Blacksmith who could repair durability limits.
In order to repair the durability limit, you had to raise the skill level to at least intermediate mastery. For a craftsman with that level of skill, they could earn a fairly large sum of money simply by making and selling weapons or armor. There had been no cases where someone was willing to repair the durability limit, which wasn't much help in making money and was just cumbersome.
Bindeclass="underline" Anyways, there was such a Dwarven Sculptor.
Hegeclass="underline" Surely not, hyungnim! Versailles Continent is wide, so there can only be one Dwarf like that. But the hyung I know probably isn't a Dwarf like that.
He had boasted to his guild members like this just 8 hours ago!
Hegel was devastated.
“This is far worse than than the case Bindel-hyung talked about!”
He was simply resentful that this kind of thing would happen to him, of all people.
They hunted a variety of monsters as they roamed about in the expansive third floor underground labyrinth. Once they entered the heart of the dungeon, there were dangerous traps, and boss-grade monsters were crouching in each place like that.
Weed and Nide deliberately fell into those traps and massacred the boss-grade monsters there.
It was a hunting method of complete monster annihilation.
If even 1 monster was left, it was somewhat galling, stifling. Like when you wash your face but don't wash your forehead, you can't feel refreshed.
Besides, there was a double experience bonus applied!
Weed was getting a large amount of experience and items from the boss monsters.
Thanks to Nide destroying the traps, they gained additional fame, skill, and experience as they safely cleaned out the dungeon.
Those who were following were also able to gain experience, fame, and the japtem that hadn't been completely picked up.
In this fashion, the Thief Nide completed the dungeon 3rd floor map.
