Secret Place (2)

Eric Thuram played with Seo Mun-yeop for two days before returning home.

"Job, won't you go fishing with me? Looking at it, Job also seems to be free."

"Damn it, are you trying to get rid of your fishing ban on the pretext of playing with me?"

"Hee hee, as expected, Job is quick-witted. Please help me."

"I'm sorry, but fishing is not my hobby. In your free time, take your family and go on a family trip."

"Is that so? Then it should be. Anyway, Job! come over to play We keep in touch often."

"Is it coming?"

After sending Eric Thuram away, Seo Mun-yeop also started packing.

"Where do you pack your bags to go in the morning?"

Baek Je-ho, who was getting ready to go to work, asked in a strange way.

Seo Moon-yeop, who packed a backpack full of food and drinking water, smiled.

"I'm going on a little trip."

"Is it about three days?"

"Do you know me well?"

"Even in the past, they often disappeared for three days."

"I have my own secret place."

"Was there a place like that? Why didn't I know?"

"Honey, do you know everything about me?"

"I became the world's best Seo Moon-yeop expert while making your documentary."

Seo Moon-yeop smiled.

However, even if it was Baekje Lake, Seo Mun-yeop did not reveal all of his intentions. As if he had not told anyone about the analysis plan.

Opening up was a very difficult thing for Seo Moon-yeop.

Especially when it comes to showing all your heart.

"I will be back!"

Seo Mun-yeop rode a bike with his backpack on his back.

This time, we moved quietly, obeying traffic laws so as not to be noticed.

Seo Mun-yeop, who went all the way to Gangwon-do, began to climb the mountain while tracing his memory.

It wasn't hard to find as it was a place I frequented often.

I climbed the mountain and crawled down the cliff.

At the bottom of the cliff there was a gap with a large crack.

After removing the rock that was blocking it, a space that one person could barely squeeze into appeared.

Even though the width was narrow and the depth was shallow, I felt an unknown and strange sense of space there.

It feels like standing at the entrance of a long cave with no end in sight.

It was the unique atmosphere of the gate entering the dungeon.

'It still exists.'

When the magic power of the core supporting the dungeon is exhausted, it will collapse, but it still seemed to be fine.

Seo Moon-yeop entered the dungeon.

Dig!

Seo Moon-yeop arrived at the dungeon with the feeling of being sucked into his body.

When his foot reached the ground, Seo Moon-yeop was already inside the dungeon.

"Whoa..."

Seo Moon-yeop took a deep breath.

Why did my body and mind become so refreshed when I came to the dungeon?

He was in the best condition after resurrecting from the last dungeon.

No other entertainment could have thrilled him so much.

"Ha, good."

Seo Moon-yeop, who put down his backpack and lay down on the ground, looked up at the ceiling and smiled.

Dungeon.

Only here keeps you alive.

I regretted attacking the last dungeon.

I don't regret it, but I regret it.

I don't regret it because it's a place where I have to challenge and attack in the end, but it was a pity that there were no more dungeons to enjoy.

It was the same feeling as leaving an empty bag of snacks and regretting that you had to save more.

Seo Moon-yeop felt sad.

"I should have died there too."

He became a superman and finally started his real life in the dungeon.

So, the end of life should have ended in the final dungeon.

It was a perfect finale after completing all the raids.

It was a life that was desperate and fierce until the very end.

Why are you alive and doing this?

As expected, he was a misfit who was not ready to live in the peaceful 2020s.

Even chatting with Eric Thuram felt like the old days. So he thought he had adapted.

But when I came back, I realized that it was a futile illusion.

It's just that I've been able to suppress my true self.

'Where will the remnants of the underground civilization not appear?'

It was when I was thinking so.

slip.

I felt the sign of something moving.

Surprised, Seo Mun-yeop jumped up.

'what?'

It couldn't have been an illusion.

Seo Moon-yeop was 100% sure of his sixth sense.

But what remains in this place where the dungeon clearing has already been completed?

It was Seo Moon-yeop who was responsible for killing all the underground people and monsters.

'Could someone else have found this place?'

There was a possibility.

If there was anyone, it was most likely another superhuman who had accidentally discovered this empty dungeon.

or not······.

'Are there any remnants of the underground?'

The chances of that happening were very slim.

However, Seo Mun-yeop only hoped for the latter.

'It's difficult because I didn't bring the equipment properly.'

However, the expression on his face was that of Seo Mun-yeop, who was already smiling.

I took out a spear from my backpack.

Chark! Clap! Clap!

When the aura was injected, the window opened and stretched.

The only weapon I brought was this one.

Even this was empty, so I only carried one, and there was no way I was normally armed.

However, Seo Mun-yeop was not afraid at all and started to enter the dungeon.

Seruk.

Something else moved.

I could feel the slightest hint of it.

"come out."

Seo Moon-yeop opened his mouth to the air.

"As long as I know you're here, I'm not one to miss you."

Pay more attention to your nerves and keep walking.

There was an endless cliff ahead, and a large bridge was placed on it.

If you are attacked while crossing the bridge, you will be at a geographical disadvantage.

However, Seo Moon-yeop passed over the bridge without hesitation.

Passing this way, you will arrive at a place where Seo Mun-yeop has accumulated all kinds of clutter.

Like a dragon's nest in a cartoon, treasures were classified and piled up in each room.

Originally, monsters were imprisoned in each room, so when an intruder passed by, they would pop out and attack.

In the farthest room, there was the owner of the dungeon, Ji-Jeo-in.

He had the ability to control monsters, and even had the ability to biotransform monsters.

So, I disassembled and stored the bodies of mutant monsters that are difficult to find elsewhere.

It was when I crossed the bridge halfway, reminiscing about the memories.

slip.

This time I felt it more clearly.

Seo Moon-yeop smiled.

"Okay, got it. It doesn't seem like a human sign."

Intuitively, it was the sign of a monster.

It is not the upright walking type, nor is it the beast type with limbs.

It was a type that moved silently, like a snake or plant type.

'Just expose.'

The analysis plan works just by looking at a part of the body.

At that point, the game is completely over.

The 200m long bridge is now almost over.

It was then.

Dig!

A sharp sound resounded like an arrow being shot.

Almost at the same time, Seo Moon-yeop rolled backward to avoid it.

bang!

Something like a giant root of a plant made a hole in the rocky bridge.

-Target: Zadrun (Monster)

-Muscle Strength: 147/412

- Agility: 85/97

-Aura: 142/533

-Weakness: Reveals its main body when excited or swallowing prey.

"It was Zadrun!"

I finally found out my identity.

Jadrun was like a potato in terms of plants.

Its main body, which forms a large mass, hides by climbing up high places such as ceilings.

It eats everything, both living and dead.

When nutrients are absorbed in this way, they are replaced with Aura within the body.

The more auras you collect, the bigger and stronger you become.

Of course, there is definitely a limit to the amount of aura that can be gathered that way, but Zadrun doesn't know what satisfaction is.

It goes beyond its limits and continues to gorge itself in search of nourishment until it overflows with aura and collapses.

Of course, it was not a naturally occurring species.

A plant that has been modified to eat everything beyond survival until it disintegrates on its own.

These ghastly and malevolent biomodifications were the work of an underground civilization.

The subterranean civilization will culture and remodel any living creature, even dead cells, to turn it into a vicious monster.

So, to mankind, underground civilization was a feared existence above all else.

During the war, a horror movie based on underground civilization was made, but it was ended early due to heavy criticism, and the producers apologized a hundred times.

It is a horror to mankind, but it was a very favorite plant for underground people.

Because it collects Auras at random.

Harvesting fully grown Zadrunes to harvest auras is like the cruel farming method of the underground people.

"Did I miss a seed of Zadrun?"

Dodging the flying roots, Seo Moon-yeop was puzzled.

When I cleared this dungeon, there were also a few Zadrunes.

After killing them all, he searched every nook and cranny of the dungeon and broke the seeds he had blown before he died.

If you leave even one, it will surely grow someday.

If an enemy that threatens survival is nearby, it has a habit of hiding as a seed without trying to grow.

Even if there are no nutrients around.

However, when the enemy disappears, it immediately grows, spreads roots, and begins to eat the nutrients it has picked up.

What if there were seeds that Seo Mun-yeop missed?

While Seo Mun-yeop visited this place, he did not dare to try to grow it, but he could have woken up from the seed safely while he disappeared for 17 years.

'Because there are enough nutrients.'

Those are the corpses of the monsters Seo Mun-yeop kept.

There were magic stones, and there were also unknown items used by various underground people.

That was all food.

Chwwwwww!

Three roots came over.

In an instant, Seo Moon-yeop swung the spear fiercely.

Papabak!

The roots were cut into chunks.

I chased the running away wriggling like an octopus leg that had been cut off and continued to cut it.

Awesome! Awesome!

It was to provoke Zadrun to keep cutting the roots and inflicting wounds.

-Kiaaaak!!

A sharp scream rang out from somewhere.

It was the sound of vomit from Jadrun, who was full of nervousness.

Seo Mun-yeop ran in the direction of the scream.

"Are you saying that a seed you accidentally missed grew?"

Jadrun, whose location was discovered, continued to spread his roots to prevent the enemy from approaching, but was only cut off by Seomunyeop's lightning-like spearmanship.

"That is so boring!"

It was the most probable guess, and it was also a boring conclusion because no further incident could be expected.

Seo Moon-yeop increased his throw.

threw a spear

Kwak Kwak!

The spear that flew violently cut through the roots blocking it and flew away, locking itself in the main body.

-Kiaak!

The body, which looked like a lump of black dust, opened its huge mouth and let out a scream.

The spear embedded in the main body was recovered by Seo Mun-yeop's hand.

As it was, he continued to throw it over and over again, hacking Zadrun's body apart.

Each time, Zadrun regenerated with the aura he had been collecting, but the speed at which he was injured was faster than the speed at which he regenerated.

Kwaji Jik!

Finally, the spear was lodged in its open mouth.

When the heart was hit directly, Zadrun could not control the fluctuating aura and collapsed.

Seo Moon-yeop murmured as he watched Zadrun's body torn apart.

"I hope the person in Jijeo planted Zadrun."

Although the subterranean civilization had collapsed, it was difficult to see that all subterranean people were dead.

Most of them would never dare to go above ground again and would hide deeper underground.

'Isn't it okay if there are remnants of the forces planning and conspiring to invade the ground again?'

They were underground people who created all kinds of terrible monsters.

They're such mean people, can't someone show that kind of indomitable spirit?

'Cheer up, underground people.'

Seo Mun-yeop was no different than a gamer clamoring to the developer for the next stage.
