Chapter 93
“.. . ”
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 . historical
-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 . ”
ραndαsΝοvεl ?οm 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”
