Return To Level Up

Ha-jin Kang secretly monitored the surroundings of Ji Chang-gi.

At first, he was going to check the atmosphere and then move directly around the jigsaw and shake it, but as he looked, the atmosphere was a bit strange.

'What? Does this mean that you are preparing for a big fight?’

That was the way Hajin Kang saw it. So he was a little puzzled.

‘Is it a little early?’

Before returning, Ji Chang-gi started the war for some reason, and as a result, the organization of the entire Gyeonggi-do, including Seoul, was unified.

And that became a stepping stone for Ji Chang-gi to move forward.

If it wasn't for that, it would have been difficult to grow enough to be included in the final raid, no matter how great the polearms were.

However, as Ha-jin Kang knew, it was about a year after Ji Chang-gi began to absorb other organizations.

Gradually, the dungeon began to show signs of abnormality, and the war was waged in line with the timing when society became a little chaotic.

That incident, too, was so proud of Ji Chang-gi that I had a sting in my ear.

At that time, Ji Chang-ki had only strong Ha-jin who he could be proud of and show off like that.

The rest were all heirs or owners of the world's leading families, so where would you go?

Fortunately, the Koreans who were on the support team were all heirs of great chaebols.

Even though Ji Chang-ki was a member of the main team, he could not receive unconditional respect. There was an atmosphere of ignoring him implicitly.

And it was the same with Hajin Kang.

Still, Hajin Kang persevered. Because back then, I had a goal to protect this world.

Anyway, he listened intently to Ji Chang-gi at that time, so there was a lot of information about him.

Ha-jin Kang thought he needed to get more certain information and moved.

* * *

It wasn't difficult to check the situation. Because the movement was too intense.

Taesan and Geoseong were on the verge of going to war.

Before the return, Ji Chang-gi was like that. At first, it was said that Jo Jin was a giant. He was told that he had applied it very overwhelmingly, but he didn't believe it right away.

It was probably not an easy fight. Of course, it wouldn't be a fight that would end soon.

Hajin Kang confirmed both Taesan and Geoseong. Once he mobilized the peek skill, he organized the number, level, and stats of the awakened.

Since entering the dungeon era, the Awakened has played a major role in the war between organizations.

The role of the Awakener expands and becomes more influential as they take charge of not only the war but also the financing of the organization in the future.

So, in order to predict the direction of this war, you need to know the number and level of the Awakened.

‘The Hundred Middle Ages.’

It was tight. But in the end, this war will be won by Taesan.

There was one insurmountable gap between Taesan and Geoseong.

It was the presence or absence of a dedicated weapon capable of dealing with the Awakened.

Taesan possessed a number of weapons that, although crude, could do great damage to the Awakened, which he had crafted through Yoo Dong-hoon in the past.

That will play a decisive role later.

Kang Ha-jin had no intention of helping the giant and destroying Taesan.

This war is only the beginning. Taesan had no choice but to continue fighting other large organizations after Geoseong.

After checking the situation, Kang Ha-jin began to investigate the dungeon secretly managed by Tae-san and Geo-seong.

It wasn't easy.

The method that Hajin Kang wrote was to dig into people.

To manage the dungeon secretly, manpower is absolutely necessary. So, he thought that only Taesan and Geoseong had to send people to check the places they were managing.

However, Taesan and Giants are not stupid, and illegally securing dungeons, there is no way to deal with it clumsily.

The reason Kang Ha-jin had followed Ji Chang-gi and robbed the dungeon in the past was thanks to the information he had obtained before returning.

As Ha-jin Kang researched, his thirst for information grew stronger.

Anyway, it was a very difficult task, but it was not without results.

Because the war had begun.

The fact that the tense fight continued also meant that both sides had to bear huge losses.

So, it was natural to have gaps everywhere.

Ha-jin Kang digs into the gaps and fails, and after trial and error, he succeeded in securing the information of some dungeons.

'It's a little sad. If you wipe out the dungeons of those two organizations, you will be able to raise your level considerably.’

The number of dungeons Kang Ha-jin secured was four.

Perhaps, if not, he would have hidden three times more. But he couldn't just find it forever.

Hajin Kang went to the most poorly managed place among the four dungeons.

Naturally, he was poorly managed. Because it was in the basement of Taesan headquarters.

Inside the building, gang members are swarming, but who is going to access it? With just a few people blocking the entrance, you can be prepared for most situations.

It was originally used as an underground parking lot, but when the dungeon was created, all passages were filled, leaving only one staircase for the entrance.

Ha-jin Kang entered the building very naturally and went down the stairs to the basement.

Since few people usually go underground, the people who guard the entrance can't stand boredom and their attitude is very bad.

I couldn't sit still, but whenever I had time, I would go out to smoke and go to the bathroom.

When Ha-jin Kang went down, there was only one person protecting him.

Anyway, I couldn't find Kang Ha-jin coming down the stairs because I was wandering here and there.

Hajin Kang naturally moved to his square.

This was also a skill acquired in the awakening dungeon.

[Hide and Seek (A)]

[Visually indicate the blind spot of the designated target. The higher the proficiency, the greater the number of targets that can be specified.]

Although not shown in the description, the more perfect square, the darker the color.

Even if the color is light, depending on how Kang Ha-jin moves, it can be made into a perfect square.

It was also the skill that was most useful when gathering information about dungeons while going back and forth between Taesan and Geoseong.

This time, as always, that skill shined. Hajin Kang quickly moved to the dark colored area.

And according to the direction the man was walking, he bent and twisted his body, moving in a perfect square.

It took one second to open the door slightly and shove into it. That 1 second was secured using a skill called hide-and-seek.

Once inside, I felt much more relaxed.

A portal into the dungeon stood in the middle of a large underground parking lot.

Hajin Kang quickly entered the dungeon.

The world was clear and opened with the unique feeling of passing through jelly.

Hajin Kang quickly grasped the dungeon. He must first decide whether it is a challenging dungeon or not.

It was a very intuitive dungeon.

A huge field was spread out, and monsters were swarming all over the field.

‘Steel buffalo.’

The fact that there are few unknown monsters was one of the advantages of regression.

The monster that inhabited this place was a steel buffalo.

As the name suggests, it was a water buffalo whose body was made of steel, and was much larger than a normal water buffalo.

It ran at a tremendous speed and slammed into it with its horns, but it was strong enough to tear off any shield as it was.

The amount of impact at the time of the collision was so great that even if the dash was blocked, the internal organs could explode.

‘If there is a steel buffalo, there must be a robber.’

When dealing with the steel buffalo, the most important thing was to know the location of the river.

It wasn't just a river, it was a river flowing with molten iron. Naturally, the river was hot, and if you fall into it, your bones will melt and you will not be able to extract them.

And more importantly, the river was a place to heal the wounds of the steel buffalo.

No matter what kind of injuries a steel buffalo receives, if it enters a river flowing with red molten iron, the wound heals quickly.

From the looks of it, it was clear that the dungeon was mainly used by Ji Changgi to level up.

Although the steel buffalo is difficult to deal with, once it is successfully hunted, the cost is considerable.

He also gave a lot of experience, and the corpses were all made of special steel, so they were very useful.

And the manastones they were holding were also special attributes.

Maybe Ji Chang-gi doesn't know that yet.

After looking at it for a while, a steel buffalo came out of the river, splashing molten iron and walking out.

The core of the dungeon with the steel buffalo was that river.

“We don’t have time, so let’s finish it quickly.”

Hajin Kang gauged the size of the remaining subspace and ran towards the nearest group of buffalo.

Once I walked from the buff.

‘Blessing of the Dragon!’

Although his proficiency was still low, all his stats had only risen by 10%, but he released the first seal and amplified his attack power and defense.

Hajin Kang ran and used the attribute-imparting skill.

Since the seal of the lightning attribute has recently been released, it has become very easy to deal with the steel buffalo.

Don't fall for it!

Sparks erupted from Hajin Kang's hands.

If you know exactly how to deal with a steel buffalo, you can catch it more easily than you think.

There are two weak points, and you have to attack exactly those two places with a lightning strike.

However, those two areas were difficult to attack. It was on the side of the ship, so you had to dig under the steel buffalo.(Read more @ hotmtlnovel.xyz)

A group of steel buffalo spotted Ha-jin Kang and rushed towards him.

Doo doo doo doo!

It was very fast, and it was quite threatening because it was creating a magic storm in all directions.

Kang Ha-jin shone his eyes, timing it, and digging under the water buffalo as if sliding.

blah blah!

Two bullets penetrated two weak points on the water buffalo's stomach.

The steel buffalo who was attacked at the vital point could not even scream and died.

Clap Duck!

The fallen steel buffalo could not overcome her inertia and slipped through her floor, and Ha-jin Kang floated as it was. Then, the steel buffalo that followed quickly passed Kang Ha-jin, who was floating in the air, and was caught by the fallen one and tossed around.

Ha-jin Kang ran quickly and attacked the vital points of the fallen steel buffalo.

Wow! Wow! blah blah!

It was very easy to hit the vital point because it was down. Of course, if I didn't have the skills, I wouldn't have been able to handle it this easily, no matter how down I was.

Hajin Kang predicted this situation in advance, so he handled the steel buffalo by moving quickly and naturally without any hesitation.

Now, this method was the standard of steel buffalo hunting.

The key was the first buffalo. You have to dig down and hit exactly two vital points in that brief moment.

It wasn't the end of the killing. You must not be stepped on by the steel buffalo that are following you.

If either one of them made a mistake, it would be over.

Kang Ha-jin had experienced steel buffalo hunting several times before his return, so he was able to hunt very skillfully.

Hajin Kang, who had dealt with all of his first group, quickly pulled out the magic stone.

The steel buffalo was a monster with nothing to throw away.

However, since the subspace is limited, it is not possible to contain all the steel buffalo here.

Hajin Kang extracted only the necessary parts.

First of all, you must take the magic stone. Among the remaining by-products, Ha-jin Kang chose his horns and eyeballs.

The steel buffalo's horns were much harder and special steel than other parts.

And the steel buffalo's eyeballs were metal with magical powers.

If you add it when making something, you can bring out a very special performance.

Hajin Kang, who quickly extracted the horns, eyeballs, and magic stones, explored the next goal.

First, you need to clear up the group on the far side of the river and gradually attack the inside. Afterwards, they fight by luring the group inside to the outside.

A steel buffalo close to the river becomes a really tricky monster.

Kang Ha-jin's eyes flashed, and after searching for a second prey, he ran again.

For a while, the extremely smooth steel buffalo hunting continued.
