Dungeon Reset

< No. >

Alpha was stubborn.

< You can't waste your life energy there. Do you know how many sacrifices it would take to resurrect HerThea? >

But the downward side was more stubborn.

“Yes! Let's give it a shot! ”

< ……? >

I couldn't communicate with him.

Jungdown began to enthusiastically persuade Alpha like a young CEO dreaming of starting a business.

“Now, think about it. I recharged the life force this time, and Bahamut's on our side, isn't he? What if we put energy in here, like that? ”

< Luxury. >

[Crazy.]

“No! A ghost could have been born! ”

Even though no one would take him in, he was pompous.

As the Witch's Boss Reach disappears, the dreams of the Wizards of the Riches fly away.

But he had a new dream at this moment.

The Phantom Army!

[Ambitious dream. Luckily, just because you have a Rich doesn't make you a Black Wizard.]

< In the case of Rich, it was possible because he had a bowl of energy in the first place. >

[Even if it succeeds, is it the Holy Spirit, not a ghost? Crazy Bruce.]

“Tsk, that's a lot to say! I command you as Lord of the Temple! Give me the energy!”

< ……. >

By this time, it was almost a robbery.

Alpha down.

< Then let's do just one thing. But we don't know what will happen, so stay as far away from the temple as possible. >

“Okay.”

* * *

Eventually, they moved to a niche town.

Since the underground temple is unavoidable, they begin experimenting in front of the barracks.

I was worried that the villagers wouldn't help me no matter what happens here.

< Then I'm going to inject you with life energy. >

Phew.

Along with Alpha's words, a golden aura emanates from the steady hand.

And I infiltrated the phantom stone that was in his hand.

Survive! Please! Ghost! "

Jungdown desperately cheered for the phantom stone.

Is it through that tender heart?

The Ghost Stone, which was lying on the palm of my hand, was slightly agitated!

< …… huh? >

For real?

“Well, yes! Survive!”

There was even more rousing cheering.

And then something amazing happened!

Ghost Stone...... It's starting to come back to me!

And...

“Ghost! Resurrect! ”

[…… but why does that keep going up?]

“Huh?"

< ……? >

Something was wrong.

The phantom left his hand and began to ascend to the top indefinitely.

Like a strapped balloon.

The Phantom Stone, which was constantly ascending vertically toward the blue sky, eventually became a dotted star and left their side.

And...

It never came down again.

“ ……? ”

Jungdown and the rabbit stood side by side as chicken-hunting dogs looked up at the sky.

“What happened? ”

[Yes, did you ascend?]

The rabbit smiles slowly and starts poking its way down towards the top.

[Wow, you brute! You didn't have enough to purify the spirits, so you made me ascend to heaven? You're killing the ghost twice!]

< It seems that as the ghost is cleansed, its dark power disappears and only its flying characteristics remain. >

I was surprised to learn that Alpha had never seen anything like this before.

But also curious for a moment.

As soon as only the unfortunate energy of life was blown up into the sky, Alpha kicked his tongue.

< What a waste of energy. I'm glad it doesn't contain a lot of energy. >

However, for a moment, I was dazed and looked at the sky, and my eyes came back to life.

“…… I like this one! ”

What?]

He smiles brightly.

I felt like I'd picked up a lottery ticket along the way.

A flying stone!

Isn't that wonderful?

“Is this how they made the lizard statue in the temple!? ”

< Are you referring to the 'Gargoyle’ if it's the Lizard Statue from the previous period? >

“Gargoyles?”

< Yes, a living stone. A sculpture made by the artisans who carved the Temple of Life in the past in honor of Hertia. Then Erthea took great pleasure in making him the gatekeeper of the temple. >

“Yes, that. With this Phantom Stone, we can make a flying statue. ”

Suddenly, Jungdown felt overwhelmed.

The Lizard Statue, or whatever Gargoyle is!

Maybe the Gargoyles were the only ones who got hold of the Earth Golems together!

If I think about it now, I can't imagine what I would have done without my Stone Smashing skills.

“Think about it. What would happen if I stuck a phantom in the bodies of the Earth Golems? ”

[What happens? And they'll disappear as stars in the sky.]

“Ah.”

The stuffed statue was sprinkled with ashes by a rabbit.

The Alpha helped.

< The Phantom Stone doesn't seem to have the ability to go up and down. >

[It won't even move sideways.]

“ ……. ”

Instead, the gatekeeper Gargoyles were able to attack intruders, turning freely from the sky like a universal eagle.

On the contrary, the phantom stone only ascended endlessly.

< The Living Stone is a higher level of alchemy than Golemsul. After reviving the stone and imprinting the flying magic, even transforming the shape so that it can move fluidly……. >

“Oh, I don't know. If we study it, there must be a way. Let's charge one more Ghost Stone. ”

< I hope this is the last time. >

Alphas have given up.

It was not once or twice like this, and fortunately, I was relaxed because I had a lot of life energy recently.

Phew.

The second phantom became golden.

Then I started to think again, and Jungdown grabbed me with his hands.

The rabbit warned me urgently.

[Huh? Be careful! What if you fly away with him?... Huh? Why are you doing this to me?]

Chuck.

Jungdown smiled kindly and said, clutching the phantom stone in the rabbit's hand.

“Now, you can fly, right? Can't miss it? ”

[……!?]

The rabbit's body starts to float in the air, hanging from a phantom stone.

Frightened, stumbling rabbit!

[sighs] Aah! It's flying...!?]

“Hmm. You're not faster than I thought, are you? ”

It was a disciplinary posture that carefully watched the appearance.

But the body of the bunny, which seemed to be going up endlessly, was slowing down, and then finally stopped about a few meters up.

“You're not going any higher? Is it the weight? ”

Is that so?

The rabbit hesitates, placing his hand slightly, and the phantom stone in his hand slowly begins to rise up again.

Going up again?]

Jungdown nods.

“Looks like it's the weight, too. ”

< I think so too. Interesting. >

Jungdown summons the rabbit.

“Rabbit, come down here for a second and hold this up. ”

That's too heavy for me.]

“I'm giving it to you because it's heavy. ”

Jungdown gave the bunny a lump of soil of the right size.

The rabbit who took it whimpered and flew toward the phantom stone that was still floating hard up there.

And then at the same time, huff! and the height of the phantom stone fell down.

“It's the weight, too. It's a balloon.Should I make a balloon out of it and fly? When you come down, you can take out the dirt bricks and adjust the weight. ”

< No. The sky is too dangerous. >

[That's right, and if you come across a monster like a vulture, it's a catastrophe.]

“Oh, let go. Not this and not that. I thought it was a great invention. ”

Jungdown grumbled and looked at the phantoms that had scraped together the bottom of the witch's house.

A good but useless item.

What's the rumor that you did well with this?

“Hmm. It's best to go back to the beginning at this point. ”

Kuang!

He removed a Master-level dirt brick from his possession.

Height is 1 meter each.

The weight was so enormous that no matter how hard I used my one-horned Boar Energy skill, I could only take it out and put it through my belongings.

That's why I used to have golems move or throw...

“If I put a phantom stone in here, I could use my strength, too. ”

[So, what are you going to use it for? I wish I could carry them to the Golems like I do now.]

“Huh. I don't necessarily invent it because it's useful. You do it because it's fun. ”

[You're pretending to be a proverb again.]

Jungdown was a true specimen of surplus.

He reluctantly shoved the phantom stone into the dirt brick and injected additional life energy.

Then the heavy dirt brick rose into the air.

“Oh? Done, done! It rises!”

Jungdown is overjoyed and hugs the dirt brick with both arms.

And I tried to lift it up like a merchant, but the dirt bricks wouldn't budge.

It can only be imagined by the power of the Phantom Stone, but it was still heavy.

“Gosh, it's still heavy. Alpha, I need a little more fuel. ”

< …… OK. >

As the life energy injected into the phantom stone increased, the height of the dirt bricks rose.

“Ugh!”

The moment he lifted a dirt brick with his two arms like a player, he was a real Underworld man.

That's how Floating Stone was born.

Flash!

[First Achievement achieved!]

“Floating Stone Born! ”

I peeked into the secrets of the world.

The dungeon is watching you.

Achievements achieved!

“Well, that makes sense. Floating stones!”

Jungdown is delighted to run reflexively.

But...... this time something about my achievements was wrong.

After confirming your accomplishments, Jungdown tilts his head.

“This is a little weird. It's my first achievement, and I don't have a reward. ”

I've never seen anything like it.]

Even the former maid rabbit looked confused.

“The dungeon is watching me. Is this good or bad? ”

[Achievements are usually good. And the dungeon will keep an eye on all the participants anyway. What concerns me more is....]

“The secrets of the world. ”

[Yes, that. Why are you sneaking up on me like this?]

“Yeah. What am I looking at? ”

[It seems that he did nothing wrong. Apologize to the dungeon first.]

“No, what am I even looking at? I'm unfair.”

* * *

Meanwhile, Ochangseok, the chief of the niche village, has been very uncomfortable these days.

There are people who are uncomfortable with their own existence.

For Chairman Oh Chang-seok, that was the right thing to do.

I didn't do any damage directly, but I felt like I was becoming less and less of a chief in town these days.

Precisely since the settlement entered the village.

In fact, it was a secret in the village that he had been using his status as chief to metallurgically exploit the food of other participants.

But nobody tackled him because he was really small and spotless.

Literally smuggled it out.

However, due to the existence of a genuine existence, people are starting to complain, one by one.

‘Besides, I dared to cross my butcher's knife the other day. ’

It was also eye-catching.

When I had the chance, I thought I'd give her a heads-up.

“By the way, Ryu Seung Woo's group is leaving for the hunt, right? ”

I finally had a chance.

Ryu Seung Woo is scary.

He is the only person with good manners but his awareness skills strongly stimulate his survival instincts.

At this point, Chieftain Oh Chang-seok rushed straight to the jungle barracks.

Then I stopped walking.

Just before the barracks was a downward end.

Suddenly, a huge lump of dirt flashes with both arms like a humble merchant!

Chieftain Oh Chang-seok who saw it opened his mouth.

"Was it a bird or a production job? ’

Are you sure you have all that ignorant power? Now I see he's worse than the relief fever!

‘I think that will be at least 1 or 2 tons...? ’

Gulp.

Chief Oh Chang-seok returned peacefully on his way home.
