I Obtained a Mythic Item

Episode 23 Night Shade (2)

Kwachang!

The scythe that Lace flew was helplessly smashed in Jaehyun's hand.

A smile crept across Jaehyun's lips along with the flying debris.

He grabbed the neck of Reis, who looked back at him, losing his weapon.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...!

Race's desperate scream was heard.

Jaehyun broke his grip with strength and looked at the remaining enemies surrounding him.

The monsters just glared at him with ferocious eyes, not wanting to move hastily.

Jaehyun clenched and opened his fists with a satisfied face.

‘good. I've definitely grown up.'

Apparently, the effect of tutoring with Yoo Seongeun was gradually revealed.

It would be almost impossible for a normal wizard to smash the flying scythe with his hands.

However, in Yoo Seong-eun's assault, Jae-hyun learned a brand new combat method that other magical raiders could never even try.

It is the battle of the ‘close magician', that is, the battle mage.

To put it simply, you can think of it as a kind of hybrid combat method in which a wizard with extremely minimal casting time attacks the enemy in the front line, avoids it, and even recovers.

‘The problem is that I'm the only one who can do this.'

That was the problem.

Except for Jaehyun, who possesses the mythic-class belonging item 《Odin's Lost Eye》, there was no radar that could use high-level magic without casting.

Casting is the basis of magic and the act of infusing magical power.

It is because it is a natural procedure that the power decreases when this is omitted.

However, Yoo Seong-eun succeeded in materializing the battle that many magical radars had only thought of in their heads through reproduction.

Of course, it is still unfinished at the moment, but if this combat method is completed in the future, Jaehyun will grow into an unprecedented radar.

Grrr!

Quick!

This time, the skeleton soldier's sword slashed Jaehyun's shoulder vertically.

Jaehyun took a half step back and quickly evaded the attack, then used the recoil of his waist to accurately hit the skeleton soldier’s face with his fist.

Slap!

There was a cheerful sound of bones being crushed and smashed.

―You have defeated the Skeleton Soldier.

―You have acquired 50 EXP.

‘My body is much lighter than before.'

Now, Wraith and Skeleton Soldier were no longer Jaehyun's opponents.

Jaehyun raised his head for a moment and looked at the dark depths beyond the dungeon.

‘In front of me. My goal is in front of me.'

There must have been the Nightshade he had hated for two months in there.

He looked at the enemies surrounding him again and put on a confident expression.

“What are you doing? You too, hurry up. It will take a long time to test the other skills.”

Oh ah .......

The monsters began to run at once as if I heard his voice.

Jaehyun immediately kicked the ground and released his magic power.

From there, it was a time of one-sided slaughter.

* * *

Outside the E-class dungeon entrance.

Seongjae Park was wandering around the entrance of the dungeon where Jaehyun had just entered.

It is none other than Yoo Seong-eun's request and waiting for him to clear the dungeon.

“By the way, can Jaehyun Min really clear the dungeon by himself?”

Seongjae Park muttered with a worried face.

‘Of course, if you look at your skills, an E-class dungeon would not be difficult...'

Park Seong-jae believed in Jae-hyun's skills, but he still couldn't shake off his worries.

A dungeon is a place with many variables.

Even in low-level dungeons, C-class and B-class raiders die.

Carelessness is poison, and for Jaehyun, who is still a beginner, even an E-class dungeon was quite dangerous.

“......It's only been an hour. what. It will take at least six more hours.”

Seongjae Park muttered while looking at his watch.

Generally, it takes about six hours to clear a dungeon.

It's been about an hour and a half since Jaehyun entered, and since he's clearing the dungeon by himself, it'll probably take a little longer than those in the party.

So, if it's at least six hours long to clear, it was right to watch it for ten hours.

Seongjae Park crossed his arms nervously.

“It's a big deal if you get hurt...”

He was a talented person who was first brought in by the Yeonhwa Guild by signing a contract.

Currently, he is the only being who can cure Yoo Seong-eun's illness.

The value of representation was still left undisclosed.

‘In addition... Although it may have been concluded through a contract, Min Jae-hyun is the CEO's only disciple. There should never be any trouble with his safety.'

Seongjae Park nodded and made up his mind.

Since he gave me a warp stone the other day, he will escape the dungeon on his own in case of emergency.

You don't have to think too complicated.

The moment he was about to get up from his seat, shaking off his thoughts.

A familiar voice came from somewhere.

“Oh, Seongjae oppa. You are here.”

Park Seong-jae's eyes narrowed at the soft voice he heard.

“uh? Aren't you...... playing? What's going on here? What about your guild?”

The woman who talked to Park Seong-jae was Kang Yeon-ju, a college junior.

He was a prestigious resource currently active in the Merchant Guild Curator.

“That’s me. what. I stopped by because I had something to do nearby, and I saw the face of the senior, so I came over for a while.”

“okay. It's nice to see your face after a long time.”

“By the way... is senpai managing this dungeon?”

“ah? uh.”

Seongjae Park nodded his head obediently.

She crossed her arms with a curious look on her face and asked.

“It is strange. Dungeon management isn't originally under the senior's jurisdiction. Did you get demoted?”

“I've only been in charge of this for a while.”

Park Seong-jae was moderately evasive. No matter how much the lecturer is his junior, Yoo Seong-eun is the directive given by the CEO.

It was natural that disclosure to outsiders was taboo.

The lecturer narrowed his eyes.

She looked at his appearance for a long time and then came back.

“senior. Actually, I have a question for you.”

“uh? What?”

“Yoo Seong said CEO is sick... is it true? He said he had a fatal disease.”

A sensitive subject suddenly caught on.

Park Seong-jae's face crumpled.

Apparently, Kang Kang-joo did not come to see the face of the senior with a light heart.

Park Seong-jae answered in the most calm voice.

“Of course it is nonsense. Rather, where did you hear about Yeonjoo?”

“Why? The CEO has a younger brother. Yoo Seon-jae. I think that person is secretly spreading information to reporters that CEO Yoo Seong-nim is sick. He said he would swallow the guild later.”

At the lecturer's words, Park Seong-jae gnashed his teeth and was indignant.

‘How dare a writer called my younger brother dare to slander the president behind the scenes like this.'

Annoyance and anger rose to the top of his head, but he barely held it in.

The lecturer was with a calm face.

“Anyway, that word is going around, so be careful. Even if the guild stock price drops, it would be difficult.”

“thanks for letting me know.”

Park Seong-jae responded in a sharp tone to the lecturer's words.

The purpose of the lecturer's visit is probably to find out the authenticity of this information.

In the first place, the Curator's Guild is a merchant's guild that runs on the proceeds from selling information and artifacts.

It is the curator who has a significant stake in the Yeonhwa Guild.

Perhaps, if it turns out that CEO Yoo Seong-seong is sick, he will immediately withdraw his investment.

It was an obvious strategy.

‘The Curator's Guild probably sent me a performance to check if the representative had a disease. He must have thought that since he had school ties, he would be able to dig up information easily.'

Park Seong-jae laughed.

He himself has been on this floor for a long time, so how could he fall for such an obvious trick?

However, he too had no choice but to tilt his head at the next lecturer's question.

“Me and one more thing. By any chance… Do you know a kid named Min Jae-hyun?”

“......what?”

Park Seong-jae's face, which had been maintaining a poker face, was colored with embarrassment for the first time.

Kang Yeon-joo had a calm expression as if he expected his reaction.

“He's a child our guild has been looking for for a while. But lately, it seems that he has been frequenting the Yeonhwa Guild building... I wonder if you know the reason.”

“well. I don't know.”

Seongjae Park replied with a slightly stiff face.

Kang Yeon-ju thought for a moment, then sighed and put her hand in her pocket.

“As expected, seniors and I are very bad at lying. isn't it?”

“......so. Why is ‘Curator’ approaching Min Jae-hyun?”

“It’s a business secret for me too.”

Kang Yeon-ju stood up from her seat and walked out again.

Then she paused for a moment and said with a smile on her lips.

“You don’t think you can keep holding onto Yeonhwa, do you?”

“It was meant to be that way from the beginning.”

Seongjae Park smiled with a dejected expression and looked at the back of Kang Yeon-joo as he left.

‘Min Jae-hyeon...... to stand out even in the Curator Guild's eyes. What are you usually doing?'

Jae-hyun approached the Yeonhwa Guild first and took advantage of it in the name of treating CEO Yoo Seong-eun.

In the meantime, he first formed a relationship with Yeon-hwa through negotiation rights and learned magic through private lessons with Yoo Sung-eun.

But before signing the contract.

He said he had no prior contact with other guilds.

Furthermore, it was already two months ago that Yeonhwa Guild signed a contract with Jaehyun.

Now, there is no reason for other guilds to die.

But why? why?

‘I don't know what other cards Min Jae-hyeon has, but at least it's certain that he's a talent that shouldn't be missed in Yeonhwa. I have to report it to the representative right away.'

The Curators Guild has overwhelming capital power.

If such a guild started approaching Min Jae-hyeon, there was a possibility that even Yeon-hwa would take him away.

Park Seong-jae immediately took out his smartphone and dialed the speed dial number.

After a while.

The call was connected with a click.

[Hello?]

“CEO. That's me. Park Seong-jae.”

[You don't have to explain, you know when you hear the voice, right? What are you calling for? Currently working.......]

“It's because of Min Jaehyun.”

Yoo Sung-eun's mischievous voice hardened in an instant.

Park Seong-jae's locked voice made the atmosphere even colder.

[What happened to Jaehyun?]

“No. There is no problem with the change. It's just...”

Seongjae Park pondered for a while, then nodded and continued.

“It looks like the Curators Guild will approach him.”

* * *

“Whoa. Twenty-seven with this?”

The difficulty of the dungeon itself, which consisted mainly of Wraith and Skeleton Soldiers, was not very high.

Thanks to the familiarity with the new fighting method, it was much easier to move the body.

‘The problem is the Night Shade.'

Jae-hyun took the corpse of the dead beast, picked up magic stones and useful things, and got up from his seat.

I stretched my lumbar vertebrae, which had been hardened, and briefly stretched, then looked around.

A scorched grave field.

The corpses of fallen demons are piled up around.

“As expected, < < Mana Steal > > is a good skill that helps a lot.”

Apprentice Valkyrie Thanks to 《Mana Steal》, a skill obtained from the 3rd set equipment effect, Jaehyun was able to save 6 more mana potions than planned.

He checked the skill window with a satisfied face and took a deep breath.

“Huh… Shall we continue then?”

After exhaling lightly, he slowly began to walk.

Only the thumping footsteps resounded hollowly in the darkness of Helheim.

A rectangular dungeon. I walked and walked in that vast space for several minutes.

How much time has passed since then?

After passing through a long passage filled with darkness, Jaehyun, who arrived at the end of the cemetery, let out a small sigh.

It was because of the huge door in front of it.

‘Perhaps this is the boss room.'

Jaehyun swallowed his saliva at the strangely flowing tension.

The door at the end of the dungeon and the overwhelming magic leaking from inside.

There was no hesitation.

Jaehyun put his hand on the rusty doorknob and put his strength on it.

The door let out an old moan and began to push me hard.

Hee hee hee hee...

A creepy sound.

Jaehyun's eyes narrowed.

Through the gap in the open door, the boss's shimmering black shadowy face began to catch a glimpse.

at the same time.

―The Boss Room is open.

―You encountered the dungeon boss, ‘Night Shade'.

A system tone was heard.
