Dungeon Reset

[Hmm. You can enhance it up to 2 times. We have two altars.]

“Huh? Altar? The number of enhancements depends on the number of altars? ”

[Yes. It's actually proportional to the number of ruins, but ultimately the altar is important.]

No. Oh, my God.

The rabbit's answer sparkles with a straight eye.

I was frustrated to hear that you can make a monolith of the Ruins Site, but this will make a difference!

“So you were really good at stealing the altar, right? Three altars makes three upgrades? ”

[Yes.]

“Oh? Should I steal it again next month? Is the altar reset?”

[See this guy? If you listen to him, he's going to start a fight.]

As his appetite grew, the rabbit chuckled.

[Altar is subject to reset, not target. We have to get permission to rebuild.]

“You need to make a new one, not a reset? ”

[Yes, it's a terrible need for life energy. But we drained that energy this time, didn't we? She's probably not gonna make it. Chuckle.]

The rabbit's mouth slowed down to see if it was refreshing enough to imagine.

[But Vabun has two more dungeons to manage, so you can draw energy from them anyway. Instead, you'll know right away.]

“Aha…. I understand.”

Jungdown nods.

In short, it was a situation where someone had to go and steal all the money they had and buy a new wallet.

But the wallet was so expensive, I had to carry an empty wallet around with me.

[Exactly.]

It was a very exciting situation for the rabbit to see him in the future.

I don't know how many Saidas I'd get if I was stranded like this!

“Let's strengthen it one more time, anyway. I'm nervous for enhancement number one to penetrate that tough guy's hide. ”

Griffith was a Stage-4 monster.

We need to be prepared to stop such a man.

When I put my hand back on the altar, I saw the arrowheads reinforced on top of the crystal beads a moment ago.

“River……. ”

[Wait, you can enhance it as soon as you did, but before that, you're good to go.]

The rabbit says he stops his hand and turns around.

“Optional?”

[Like this. Enhancement system open!]

Pa!

When the rabbit touched the crystal bead, a translucent window appeared on the altar.

[Bam! This is what a reinforcement system looks like.]

Enhancement System

- Option 1: Piercing (Level 2)

- Option 2: Hardness (Level 1)

- Option 3: Paralytic Poison (Level 1)

“This……? ”

I remembered a double in my eyes.

[Current target shows enhanced options. Choose from 3, otherwise it will be automatically selected as option 1.]

As I listened to the rabbit's explanation, I glanced down the reinforcement window with an interesting expression.

“You had a choice, huh? The way you fight depends on what you choose here. ”

[Yes. Later on in the stage, participants also reinforce their weapons in their own style.]

Of course, we only had the chance, but we couldn't keep reinforcing the whole altar like this.

Jungdown points to a reinforcement window and asks.

“How effective is this‘ paralytic poison ’here? ”

[Isn't that Kebake? The one with the resistance to poison won't take much notice, and for the big one, the time to spread the poison is slow.]

After a moment of deliberation, he finally made his decision.

“Let's go to paralytic venom. ”

No penetration? The arrow attack will go directly up.]

“His body is too thick for that. What do you think, two levels of penetration will get you through Griffith's heart? ”

After thinking about Griffith for a moment, the rabbit shakes his head.

[It might be a little difficult in front of you. But what are the chances of a good poke in the left flank?]

“The problem is that this trap is impossible to attack in such detail. It's a massive assault. ”

[But what if the poison doesn't work?]

“You're the one who couldn't come up here because of the poison cloud in the first place. I think it'll work. ”

[That's also true.]

Of course, poison can take a long time to spread.

However, there are infinite health golems here that never get tired, so there's no problem stalling.

“This is for the best. Let's strengthen it immediately.”

[Enhance your Trap.]

Gulp!

The energy of the crystal bead disappeared more extensively than before.

It was a waste.

“Why are so many gone? ”

[This is the second enhancement, so it will be doubled.]

< In terms of the amount of food, it took about two months. >

“Huh? Two months? This is some serious robbery, huh? That means the first enhancement was a month's worth of food! ”

[There are a lot of arrows in the trap. because the energy consumed depends a little bit on the object.]

< If you look at other Enhancement Weapons, it usually takes about 10 days. >

Ten days or a month, it's a frightening overconsumption!

I just wanted it to be that effective.

Head to the cliff and check for yourself. A subtle light is hidden on the surface of the arrow trap.

[Arrow Launcher +2]

- Durability: 100/100 (%)

- Option 1: Piercing (Level 1)

- Option 2: Paralyzed (Level 1)

“Got it!”

[Tier 2 Trap Complete!]

< It's really cool. This dramatically increased the Defense Strength of the Temple! >

The alpha was greatly impressed.

The Lord of the Temple has finally begun to do his part!

“Let's shoot. ”

You can't see the effects until you blow it into the air, so you hang the unihorned Boar corpse away and turn the trap toward you.

“Fire!”

Pubababak!

The arrows fly into the air with enormous force.

I feel like I've lost my cool.

“Wow... If I get caught here, I'll really hook myself up. ”

Piercing was only level 1, so I never ignored it.

The arrows are not just embedded, they are completely embedded in the body of a one-horned Boar.

If this power cuts through the wind and pierces its wings, won't its wings become paralyzed and fly away?

“I'm relieved.”

He smiles satisfactorily.

* * *

It was only a few days before Griffith climbed back up the cliff.

Quadruck! Quadruck!

“Grrrrrrr!”

I've been waiting for you!]

This side was already prepared, why are you here so late?

At the rabbit's command, arrows rained down from the sky!

Bababak!

“Glug!? ”

Griffith, who quickly became a hedgehog, struggles with the pain.

This time, I felt a level of pain that was far beyond that.

But not enough to die!

“Grrrrr!”

He was tough.

Rather, he roared more ferociously and climbed up the cliff like an armored car.

Knng! Knng! Boom!

The speed was too fast, so I was ready to make it to the top even now.

But for some reason, as time went by, it was getting harder and harder for me to move around.

The paralytic venom has begun to spin!

But be bold!

“Grrrrrrr!”

Kwaek!

Finally, while applauding the man who reached the top, the rabbit smiled revealing its teeth.

[Welcome. It'll be warm.]

Aaaaah!

“ ……! ”

The oil cauldrons, which were all lined up, fell down, and boiling oil spilled over his head!

“Hiic!? ”

Griffith hurriedly retreated back to his senses!

After that, it was a cliff.

The rabbit shouts again at the sudden stumbler.

“Fire again! ”

You little bitch!

Second Arrow Bombardment!

Pubababak!

This time I hit a bad spot.

A hole in one wing.

Even paralyzed toxins are slowing me down.

It was then.

“Grrr!”

The gorilla golems are waiting behind you, and they start throwing dirt at you without pity.

Woof! Woof! Phew!

Direct hit!

“Cough!? ”

Eventually, he was beaten to a pulp and had to fall to his knees.

[It fell! I stopped it!]

As the rabbit's cheer echoes, it descends to Stage -4.

“Break the Stone! Break the Stone!”

It's always the same thing.

You leave everything to the rabbit, and she's carving down the fire escape hatch inside the cliff.

[Gotcha! You saw the crash!?]

‘No, I just heard a noise. Is he dead?’

[I don't know! If he's not dead, he'll come again!]

The rabbit was outrageous.

But then.

Boo-hoo!

“… huh? ”

Suddenly, the wall in front of him broke, and a cracked space appeared beyond it.

Alpha said.

< It's a natural cave. >

“I see.”

Jungdown didn't seem particularly surprised.

It was often the terrain seen on the rocky mountains.

Usually, monster rats live in these places, but none of them seem to crawl this deep.

“That's cold.”

Inside the cave, it was very wide and thin.

A whiff of wind passed through the cave.

The wind blows, which means there's a hole out there somewhere.

The cave was connected to somewhere.

But it's just a cave.

“Should I ignore it and keep carving the stairs? ”

< Sure, you won't get anything. >

It was a moment to turn around again.

Suddenly, I noticed a scene that could stimulate his inquiry.

Suddenly, a faint light was coming from deep in the cave!

“No, what is that? ”

< Ignore it, it's dangerous. This is Stage -4. >

“Gate installed! ”

Ignored all the alpha currents and opened the gate first.

<...... You can't listen to me. >

“I'm paying for my soul again. Come out all of you.”

Our sturdy friend, the Earth Golems, rush out of the gate.

“Awesome?”

“Oooh?”

“Let's go inside. ”

I thought the cave would be wider by the time I got on the golem...... but it's getting smaller and narrower as I go in.

“Break the Stone! Break the Stone!”

Eventually, I moved gradually to the ceiling of the cave, and the brightness of the cave glow became stronger and stronger.

“Break the Stone! ”

Boo-hoo!

As he turns the corner, his eyes widen.

Surprisingly, there was a huge nest beyond which we were sitting!

I couldn't believe it.

“...... Is that a nest? ”

The nest isn't usually a straw, is it also made by pulling out a whole tree? >

The nest was certainly not of an ordinary scale.

But by all accounts, that round, concave shape was a nest!

Moreover, it is filled with shimmering stones.

It's not strong, but it's a warm, glowing stone.

“Is that an egg? ”

< …… It's not an egg. It's just a shiny stone. I think we should get out of here sooner than later. >

“Why?”

< Crows are not the only ones who enjoy nesting on rocky mountains and collecting shining stones. >

The Alpha tries to evacuate him, but it's too late.

The owner of this nest came into the cave and got hurt.

“Grrr……. ”

Chubby!

“ ……! ”

You can't live like this!?

< Hurry! >

Despite the urgent Alpha's request, the steadiness of the sound of a lively roar solidifies my body.

Shit, we're screwed! ’

His face is stiff.

What the fuck is wrong with you?

Like a frog that meets a snake, a rat that meets a cat binds its whole body like that! What a waste!

I feel cold sweat dripping down my spine.

This was Griffith's lair! ’
