Dungeon Reset

“Phew, never mind. ”

Jungdown narrows and lengthens the passageway so that only one monster ant can get out of line.

We've secured a retreat and blocked the middle passageway at any time.

Whenever I wanted to rest, the dungeon beans fired cannons from afar to stop the ants from approaching.

“Good. Now I can only fight one. If we have ourselves, let's double it. ”

< You have a good heart. It's always safest. >

As long as it was not related to the Temple, the mind of the Alpha was no different from that of the Jungle.

Then suddenly, the rabbit came running out with something.

Hey, you know what I found? Look at this!]

[Rusty Steel Helmet +1]

- Durability: 11/100 (%)

- Optional: Shock Absorption (Level 1)

It was a dented and rusty knight's helmet.

His eyes widen.

“Huh? Where did you get this? ”

[Come here, Shem.]

The place the rabbit led was the lair of an undiscovered squirrel.

But there's a treasure chest full of straws around the corner.

[I searched here and it came out.]

“Tsk!”

“Aha, you decorated the nest in the treasure chest. He's a luxurious man. Then why is there a treasure chest here all of a sudden? ”

“Tsk, tsk!"

In front of him, a white squirrel had a tremendous heartache when his nest was destroyed.

“I'm sorry. Take this instead. ”

“ ……! ”

Jungdown piled up his cleansed bones so that he could live with his grandchildren.

And since then it must have been.

He jumped into a pool full of food and started enjoying life.

Even if the dungeon is reset, there are no celebrities at this moment.

[It used to be an ant den here, but it must have been cut off in the middle.]

The rabbit points to the broken ground behind the treasure chest.

Jungdown looks puzzled.

“So this was originally an ant's? Why do ants have treasure chests? ”

[Maybe they brought it down from the ground.]

“Why? It's not even food. ”

[What do you want them to know? Just do as you're told.]

“Who asked you to? Oh, a witch? ”

The word "witch" caused the Alpha to react.

I see. Now I can see why the witches have turned the ants into chimeras. >

Alpha explained:

In the first place, the witch's house had no way to get to her but the space gate.

Completely destroyed the entrance to stop intruders.

But if there's only one way to find out, it's the only way to dig the ground down.

< So it must have been used as a house guard dog to keep monstrous ants in the ground, even to block them. >

And the witches didn't just use the ants to guard the house.

< And they would send ants to the ground to gather experimental materials. >

That's what surprised the Alpha.

At that point, the evil experiments of the witches did not stop, even though they were always being pursued by the Empire.

Where do all the ingredients come from, living in hiding like that?

But if you secretly collected those ingredients by using ants every night, everything was explained.

It was too long ago, but now it was a refreshing alpha to know the secret.

< Anyway, great. If you follow the anthill, you'll find more collections of witches than this. >

The witches have taken everything they could use. Look at this helmet. It's all dented and rusty and smelly.]

< Sacrifice is worthwhile. >

[Are you just a junker by now?]

The two conversations made me smile deeply.

What about junk? Sacrifices allowed me to collect various enhancement options.

“Speaking of which, let's sacrifice this and strengthen it. From now on, I have to fight myself, so let's gear up and get going. ”

< Sacrifice. >

Gulp!

Jungdown set up a proper base camp in front of the anthill and set up the gate.

And this time, the equipment received from the villagers was also handed over as an offering, focusing on the worn durability.

Among them, there were plenty of options to use.

“Enhancement system open! ”

Enhancement System

Tower Shield.

- Option 1: Elasticity (Level 1)

- Option 2: Magic Defense Power (Level 1)

- Option 3: Shock Absorption (Level 1)

The shield options were already glamorous.

“You only have to choose two of these. Cylindrical.”

If the system was reopened, other options were also available, of course.

I showed the most useful options first, but the choice was my own.

“Hm. You don't think ants use magic? ”

[What magic is that about? I saw you spraying acid out of your mouth earlier, and that's pretty much a cleansing skill.]

“Then let's do number one and number three. Reinforced!”

[Enhance your equipment.]

[Tower Shield +2]

- Durability: 78/100 (%)

- Option 1: Elasticity (Level 1)

- Option 2: Shock Absorption (Level 1)

A combined shield was created with the option of 'resilience’ to bounce off external forces, up to the option of ‘shock absorbing’.

Chungdown was excited.

“Oh! Isn't this completely unbeatable? Bounce off and absorb! ”

[Don't be so smug. This is Stage -4. Don't let your guard down.]

“I know that. It's only a level-one option, so it could be dangerous for an attack over the limit, right? ”

[If you can't talk... ….]

The rabbit grumbles a little.

It wasn't just words.

Jungdown was a man who had handcrafted and used equipment in a household that had never been seen before.

Then I had to look at things gradually.

“Let's change clothes too. ”

I was excited and took out the armor the villagers gave me one by one.

Everyone seemed to be getting a little old at some point in the salvage market, but reform as a reinforcement option was enough.

“If you get attacked yourself, you'd better do the dangerous part with 'Hardness’ Level 2. ”

[Good idea. I'm gonna have to change my shoes.]

“Shoes? I got some durable leather boots. ”

Jungdown shoes scurrying through the dirt floor used to quickly become a heap.

That's why I have pre-selected a collection of shoes for the villagers to use when they receive equipment.

Among them, there was a shoe with an option to 'travel speed'.

“But now is not the time to move quickly, so let's do this. Reinforced!”

[Enhance your equipment.]

[Leather Boots +2]

- Durability: 65/100 (%)

- Option 1: Friction Force (Level 1)

- Option 2: Shock Absorption (Level 1)

[Huh? That's an odd option. Usually it's based on movement speed and defense.]

“The best thing about a pair of rainbow shoes is that they don't slip and they're comfortable. Don't you know ergonomics? ”

Jungdown jumps up and down in his new shoes.

The cushion that touches the soles of your feet was loosely rolled.

“Khh, my feet melt. What if my foot disappears? ”

[…… something. What if they get attacked by a bridge?]

“You can put something else on top. ”

[……?]

There were a lot of useful junk for Jungdown, a professional junk merchant.

He tears off the metal plate that was attached to the unusable equipment and wraps it around his leather boot like a bandage.

Then I reinforced the iron plate again.

“Enhance!”

[Iron Plate protector +2]

- Option 1: Hardness (Level 1)

- Option 2: Mild (Level 1)

“Bam. Can't we do this? ”

[Sigh…….]

The rabbit froze in a steady motion.

Leather boots lined with steel plates were born.

Weight fixing iron plate with lightweight options and increased defensive strength with firmness.

A meticulous and meticulously organized metal seagull was reformed with neat craftsmanship, as if there had always been such boots.

However, only a tight-knit old bunny could not tolerate these boots as a common sense in the dungeon.

[No, Miso Soup Guy! Luxurious, but too luxurious! Who uses reinforcement systems instead of crumpled iron? Everyone else is trying so hard to enhance...!]

“Oh, come on. I'm strengthening it on my altar. ”

< Yes, there's enough life energy these days, so there's no problem at all. Safety first. >

[No, I, that's... Oh, let go of me. This is not the usual reinforcement system...]

The rabbit was unfair.

Something seems terribly wrong, and there is no argument.

Of course, the original reinforcement system was not available at all times.

Usually, breaking the Ruins or solving special missions provided by a helper will give you an opportunity to enhance your equipment with that reward.

It's better to get enhanced equipment from the beginning.

It was a very special and precious opportunity to strengthen ordinary objects.

Rabbits took their advice seriously.

[You're really careful. If other participants find out, they may try to kill because of relative deprivation.]

“Why are you killing me? Why don't you just ask him to strengthen you, too? ”

[Oh, yeah! Shit!]

The rabbit just threw away all the common sense he had and decided to just watch.

“This should do it. ”

The downward end of all the settings began to fight the monstrous ants.

One at a time.

As safe as possible.

To do that, this was the best weapon I could think of.

[Iron Mace +2]

-Turability: 100/100 (%)

-Options: Piercing (Level 2)

The strongest iron rod of all time was born.

If you use skills and stab them here, the effect will be tremendous.

“The energy of a one-horned Boar! ”

Currently his Rhino Boar Energy level is 7.

After dipping a piercing iron hook with a power of 3.2 times its physical strength, I felt like I was stabbing an apple with a toothpick no matter how hard the skin of an ant was.

“The bodies keep piling up. Shall we make it look like a witch's house? ”

You cast purple dirt on the floor of the passageway, modeled after the witches, causing the corpse to rot away immediately.

Once it was done, it was a foursome from then on.

Ka 'duk! Ka 'duk!

Kitty!

Like a factory conveyor system, it mechanically sinks into a flowing line of monster ants.

Then, when it was time for skill reuse, Dungeon Kong took cover and took a short breath.

[…… what kind of battle is this?]

The rabbit shakes his head.

The road he takes to battle seems far away.

But it clearly worked.

['Onehorned Boar Energy' skill has advanced to level 8.]

- 3.4-fold increase in physical strength

- Duration 1 minute, Cooldown 30 seconds

“Oh! I knew you had to hunt to level up your skills! ”

[…….]

More power means more attack power!

I jumped into the anthill all by myself.

Of course, it's also safe to make the road narrow again every time.

Then I found a treasure chest.

“Oh, now what? ”

I was excited that it was found at the anthill.

[Have you forgotten something?]

“…… Ah? ”

Then I became obsessed with battle and forgot about my colleagues.

“Monster ants work for witches anyway, so if you go down the anthill, nothing will come out." ”

But the problem was... the ants that were invaded to the mainland were staring down in the dark.
