Dungeon Reset

* * *

That evening, while searching the village with the flaming insects everywhere, the stone lagoon searched for Bamum's artifact and brought it to him.

“There was this. ”

The objects that Seok Jeong-ho sent were small sculptures made of cut wood.

“Wow, look at the quality. ”

Admiration flows from the mouth of the jeweler who received the wooden statue.

A little girl with a doll in her arms and a place to sit.

A sleeping cat instead of rounding around it.

It was a peaceful craftsmanship that made me feel clumsy whether I had poor craftsmanship and tools, but it warmed my mind just by looking at it.

Suddenly, after seeing the proper crafts in this barren dungeon, I felt good for no reason.

“Is this your prize? ”

< This is not for you. I can feel the curse. >

“Curse?”

What Alpha said, scanning the sculpture in an instant, was unexpected.

< This…… is the curse of corruption. Perhaps this sculpture was the vessel of a corruption curse hanging in a niche. >

“A curse of corruption, perhaps? ”

[Could it be Serpa's product instead of Bamboo?]

I carefully examined the sculpture that was kind to the rabbit's words.

“Confirm information. ”

[Old Tree Shard +6] [Inactive]

- Durability: 0/100 (%)

- Option: Curse of Corruption (Level 6)

“Oh, what a curse of corruption! ”

Alpha's words were true.

The cursed item in the niche area must have started right from this item!

It was a surprise that you got so many items!

But...

“But you have zero durability? ”

< This item has already reached its lifetime. Unfortunately, you can't use the magic that's caught here. It's not worth the sacrifice. >

[Oh, that's too bad! If you had at least 1 Durability left, you could register it in the Enhancement System.]

The rabbit felt more regretful.

If there was at least 1 Durability, you could have used a few six-level enchantments.

Moreover, it was a pity that if I offered it as an offering, I would be able to enhance the options on everything.

“You look so fine. Why is your insides so broken? ”

< It must have been forcibly drawn out by magic. The wind must have destroyed the magic inside. >

The rabbit realized.

[Aha. Now I understand. From the beginning, it was strange that Vabun did the same thing with Serpa's magic. They must have lifted the curse of corruption from here and registered it in the dungeon automation system. Then, of course, it breaks down.]

< Likely It was a kind of sacrifice. >

The rabbit was right.

The identity of this sculpture was originally discovered by Vabun in Serpa's secret chamber.

However, since the parties were all dead, no one knew about the details of the innards, and it was unnecessary.

At that time, the rabbit hugged Serpa to see if he liked the wooden sculpture.

[Heehee, I like this. If this is useless, can't you just give it to me?]

“Why is that? ”

[It's beautiful. You see the doll she's holding?]

“Hmm?"

On second thought, there were two long ears on the big doll that she was holding in her arms.

It was a rabbit doll.

[Heehee, doesn't this bunny look a little like me? And if you look closely, you're also wearing a bow tie.]

“Oh, is that a bow tie or something? With real skill...... I'll make it much better if I make it. Hmm? Now that I think about it, that sounds fun. Should I chop down a tree when I'm bored? ”

It was time anyway, and after a long time of craftsmanship in this barren dungeon, my curiosity burns.

[Ah, do it! Can you make me look the same?]

The rabbit glitters and hangs on his shoulder.

How much I wanted it, I shrugged my shoulders with a cotton ball of front feet.

Turns out there was no photo machine in the dungeon.

Even when he had painted the symbol rabbit on an armored golem before, the rabbit who lived in the dungeon continued to enjoy seeing himself.

“It's a duct.”

[Ahem. Now you know? I am a professional.]

The rabbit hugs you with pride, fearing who will take the Serpa Tree Sculpture.

“Hey……. ”

“Oh, I see. ”

I completely forgot about Suk Jeong-ho.

Seok Jeong-ho, who was listening quietly to their conversation next to him, told Jung-down.

“Isn't this what you're looking for? Should we go out and look for him? ”

On second thought, it was.

Achievement rewards were clearly labeled ‘items of interest’.

But what if this sculpture was Serpa's, and it was no longer of any use?

The real reward was likely something else.

‘Why did I faint then? I wish I'd found it right then and there. ’

It was impossible because the whole town was on fire anyway.

But what was too bad was too bad.

Jungdown nodded to Suk Jeong-ho, who was waiting for an answer.

“Yes, thank you for that. ”

“Very well. Rest a bit more. ”

Beep beep.

It was Seok Jeong-ho who got up from his seat without a word and went out.

The rabbit tilts his head as he looks back.

[That guy's almost done with it. What's wrong with him?]

“How was it originally? ”

His first impression of Jungdown, who did not know what Sukjeongho used to look like, was just one of the uninvited guests who had invaded the underground temple.

[It's usually a... petty type, right? It's squeaky. It's narrow. Strong for the strong, strong for the weak? Aha? Got it.]

When I spoke, the rabbit realized it himself.

[seems to be stronger than you, so you're on your own.]

“Well, I've only shown you so much since the beginning. ”

[Yay, yay.]

The rabbit spits on the floor as it grows bold and grumpy.

[Anyway, don't be careless, Marcem. That kind of stuff doesn't hesitate to kill if it's necessary.]

“I know. It's not like I've seen him once or twice. ”

[I have to do it. There are actually many kinds of Seokyongho dungeons. It's more dangerous to pretend not to be on the outside. Rather, it belongs to a cute axis.]

“I see.”

Jungdown was a bitter expression.

It was an unfair world in the first place.

Weak to the strong, strong to the weak?

I don't know what that means.

This was a dungeon full of lawlessness.

Weak to the weak, it looks shallow, so it's a good shot to the back.

If you're strong enough, you're gonna get trampled to death that day.

In the beginning, there was a strange person like Ryu Seung-woo who was strong against the strong and weak against the weak.

“…… So. What were you supposed to be doing? ”

[He was just a regular guy. Well, they're all the same.]

“Of course.”

Jungdown stopped to think more.

I also did not listen to the details.

What are you doing here? It turns out they all had their reasons, and they were just one of the poor victims who was dragged to the dungeon.

But it was then.

[I'm the owner -!]

A snowman came running to a place where there was a ruckus in the distance.

[Are you finally awake? How are you feeling?]

It was Bahamut.

He was watching the participants entering the underground temple as they turned on the lights in case they were going to steal their food.

How's your fever? He also had a fever, so I periodically put snowballs on his forehead. And I'm afraid the wind is too hot...!]

Here's another interested party.

If the rabbit was an entire palanquin who wanted to attract the attention of everyone, Bahamut was an exclusive palanquin who only wanted the attention of his master and treated the rest like bugs.

However, Bahamut sees the wooden sculpture the rabbit is holding, and his body stiffens.

[That, that!?]

Where are you looking? This is mine!]

You bastard!]

Whoo!

The rabbit quickly hides the wooden carvings back and screams violently as cold air gushes from the body of the Bahamut.

[Where did you get that?!]

[Don't talk back!]

Yo!

[…… hmm?]

[Hmmm.]

At the sound of the rabbit's rebuke, Bahamut immediately calmed down and politely asked again.

[Rabbit, where the hell did you get that piece? It belongs to my former master.]

“Huh? Former owner? ”

This is the Witch's stuff?]

Even the rabbit was surprised by what he said.

[Yes. This is...... a sculpture that the Witch made yearning for her happiest time.]

“Wow, the witch is quite handy. ”

Jungdown became curious again.

I thought the Shadow Bracelet was handmade by witches.

Maybe witches are not only good at magic, but they're good at whatever they do with their hands.

Well, it would have been time for a witch to hide underground, avoiding people.

If we live that hard, we will eventually make something twitching.

Sniff.

Jungdown steals the snot.

“Oh, what is it? Suddenly, I felt empathetic. Wait, so is this a sculptured cat? ”

As you point to a corner of the jeweled statue, Bahamut gives you an answer.

[I'm Serpa. For your information, I haven't met the Witch yet, so it's not in the sculpture. And this rabbit is your favorite doll.]

“A bunny doll.... ”

At this point, I suddenly wondered:

The downward gaze turned to the rabbit.

[Why are you looking at me like that?]

“This doll, is it not you? ”

You're connecting him like that?]

The rabbit scorns at the deduction of the truth.

[No, it's too bad I didn't remember my past life as a bunny. Why? I thought you said witches were my past life. That's more like it.]

[Yes, Inoum!]

Bahamut has struck again.

[You're a witch, what a mess!]

[Don't talk back!]

[Yes!]

The rabbit grumbles, trying to shoot the climbing subordinate manager when he has a chance.

[It's all over anyway. What? It feels better to be this beautiful woman than just a doll.]

[Haha, my witch was also very pretty.]

[...... You're a busy man after being angry and satisfied. I knew Richie was basically a lunatic.]

The rabbit shakes his head.

“Hmm……. It's really worth it.”

Jungdown couldn't hide his doubts.

This dungeon was originally said to have been destroyed by the dragon of the Apocalypse.

What if Serbana Bahamut, the witches, everyone who had actually lived in that era had become a helper or a final boss?

Maybe the rabbit has a place in it, too?

Rabbit dolls or witches?

“Oh, trouble. I don't care who it was. This is why it's best not to listen to other people's problems. ”

I decided not to worry any more about the past, and climbed directly onto the town.

Shoot him!

It was raining heavily outside.

“Mr. Jung-Down! Are you awake?”

Ji Seo-yeon recognized Jungdown and quickly approached.

“It's raining a lot. Put this on."

The raincoat that Ji Seo-yeon gave was made temporarily by the same production workers as her.

He oiled the cloth so that water would not leak.

“It keeps raining, so it's hard to search. Fireworms and torches keep going out. ”

The town was almost flooded.

The land was completely changed by the magic of change.

Jungdown was thankful to see the black number < 27 > on Ji Seo-yeon's forehead.

Even though it has become the life of a wealthy man every day, he still stays here to help himself.

“Thank you. I'll do it now. Let's stop the rain first. ”

“Yes? How? You want me to make you an umbrella? ”

“No, that's annoying. ”

I looked up at the sky.

Shoot him!

The sound of rain was cool.

I woke up sleepy and refreshed.

“On a day like this, it's the waves. ”

Jungdown smiles and covers the town with flour.
