Dungeon Reset

* * *

And the future.

No, right now.

Stage-3 Harun.

Flash!

“…… a bunny! Huh?”

After bouncing out of the shadows, Jungdown glances around, dumbfounded.

“What about here?”

Glug glug.

He returns to Harun in the burning forest.

Jungdown realized that he had returned to his original timeline and his expression was stiff.

The last image of the rabbit was trampled in my eyes.

“Wait. What about the rabbit? Where's the rabbit? ”

< I can't feel the spirit of the rabbit anywhere in the world. >

Alpha answered boldly.

He had the ability to detect the death of the temple administrators and apostles.

However, the rabbit was deemed dead.

“You're not saying the rabbit's dead, are you? ”

< I think it's more accurate to say that it was left in the past than dead. >

At that moment, Rugal's voice is heard from the sky.

[Are you back?]

“Luggal?”

Turning away, the giant silver wolf waits for him with a firm look.

Poldark!

“Pouch!"

On Rugal's shoulders, a silver sky squirrel spreads its wings wide and sits on top of his head.

And...

“Heave-ho! Heave-ho! ”

Rip, rip!

“Ugh? Kiss, what are you doing? Hey, don't rip your head off! Why are you so angry? Hungry?”

For some reason, Kissing continued to frown and cry, chewing the hair off his head and rubbing a round cheek on his head.

[Glug. They say it's been a long time since you've had a cotton ball.]

“What do you mean, it's been a long time? ”

“Kiss, kiss, kiss!”

Luggal's words calm him down and he looks at him with a puzzled face.

[You came back here in a week.]

“…… what? ”

His face was stiff.

“What are you talking about? A week? I've only been in the shadow world... ”

[Glug. That's not the point. Wouldn't you rather hear about what happened in the dungeon while you were gone?]

Lugal nods his head recklessly and points up at the sky.

Woof!

There were a lot of deep sea salmon, or Sweetfish, flying in the blue sky.

[There's been a lot going on.]

“...... It looks that way to me. ”

* * *

It seemed like the jet lag was a little twisted while traveling in the past.

Jungdown told Rugal about what's happened in the past week.

There were a lot of different stories.

Story that the deep sea bass had turned into slang.

The story of the eunuchs stirring up the dungeon ecosystem at their own pace.

The story shows that the dungeon difficulty decreased slightly, increasing participants' survival.

And today, among the participants in the lower dungeons, they've challenged the first monk hunt to solve food shortages.

But it's hard to catch them because they're cowards who fly away and run away if they think they're dangerous.

[…… Well, I heard that a plate of flesh comes out of a blade if you're lucky enough to get a little fresh bite. Glug.]

And the other participants who were exploring Harun while Jungdown was in the Shadow World had already completed the raid and moved on to the next stage.

[Glug. Everyone says the ruins' traps are too good for their own good. You said it was a dungeon that pissed people off in no way. Well, I hear that all the time. I'm used to it now.]

“ ……. ”

Even Harun was already in a state of completion to reset.

Flame insects and demons are reborn, and the forest where the fire had gone out began to burn again.

Only one place.

Despite resetting, Harun's lake remains bare.

[Grrr! This is all because of the drain you dug into the bottom of the lake. Can you close that gate, please?]

“ ……. ”

[Glug.]

“ ……. ”

[…….]

Lugal sighs and asks.

[But how long are you going to wait? It's been a month.]

It's been a month.

Jungdown remains in Harun, just waiting for the rabbit to return.

The ruins of Harun in front of the tomb of Emperor Baboon.

“…… just a little. I'm just gonna wait a little bit longer. ”

Jungdown opens his mouth with a blurry smile.

“I came back in a week, right? He's so lazy, it'll take longer. ”

[…….]

Lugal sighs again, looking at the back of the bunny waiting quietly.

I begged him with a grudging expression.

[Phew. Okay, got it. I like waiting for the rabbit...... but can you please stop waiting and build a town in the middle of my dungeon?]

“Why? I'm tired of my hands. There's nothing to do while we wait. ”

(Grunting)

Before the ruins of Harun, a beautiful village was completed.

At first, I tried to build a proper tent, a quiet place.

I needed space to eat and sleep to wait for the rabbit.

But after the dungeon, I couldn't build a house.

I needed a solid wall that monsters couldn't access, and a bathroom for menstruation.

Then you get a cozy bedroom, a cozy living room.

I was lonely for no reason, so I made a house next door and made a house next door, and suddenly it was a small town.

And each house began to have its own shadowy servants.

“Niyoon.”

Shadow servants imitated their mannerisms and followed the poetry of sleeping alone and eating alone in their homes.

Then everyone strolled out, crouching in line next to the frozen one, waiting for the rabbit to come back together. Boss.

[Stop... giving up!]]

Rugal is furious with Jungdown after all.

[Grrr! That's why you said so in the first place! The rabbit is no longer coming back! If you hadn't mastered the Shadow Arts like you have, you'd be stuck in the past!]

Jungdown shrugs.

“What's the problem? If it's a matter of Shadow Arts, they'll come back after they've mastered them. ”

[Absolutely not! There, the rabbit is just a puppet! What kind of magic do you use on doll themes?]

“Then they'll use items. Besides, there's Ertera, right? Like it's gonna work? ”

[Please stop giving up. By the time you return here, the rabbit will no longer remember anything about you. You're a name that doesn't exist on the record.]

“…… you really don't remember anything? ”

I opened my mouth again with difficulty.

[Yes, the record of creation is like that. The actions of the nameless are completely forgotten.]

For a month now, Rugal and Jungdown have been repeating the same conversation.

[Besides, do you think that the dying dragon of life will use a timeless withdrawal technique for dolls?]

“Okay, Luggal. You don't have to tell me anymore. I understand enough, so you don't have to be sorry anymore. I'm not really mad at you. ”

[Glug. I'm sorry. I was the one who sent the rabbit into your world.]

Rugal always looks sorry.

“I know, I know. But who knew this would happen? Besides, you said the rabbit wanted to come first. And don't get me wrong. I'm not just waiting for him with my deepest regret. Who'd have thought you were a lover? ”

Jungdown smiles in relief.

“I'm just waiting because I'm bored. You don't have anything better to do, do you? ”

If there's nothing to do, the sacrifice... is not. >

Alphas, who were about to say something, took care of himself.

And it wasn't like he really did nothing.

I live in a solitary place, but I often communicate with the dragon apostles in Dantobang.

Ryu Seung Woo: Don't worry about us. Everything is fine. >

Correct. Thanks to a copy of the order you packed, the paradise raid just got a whole lot easier. >

The Dragon Warriors were already raiding the third paradise.

The paradise environment was similar for everyone.

Fight octopus soldiers, get into fake world waters.

In the struggle with the spirits, the participants proved their worth.

< Dongmin Oh: Not one person has died yet! I was relieved because I was resurrected as a forest tribe when I died. >

Ji Seo-yeon: People like me who have already died once and have been resurrected as a tribe in the forest are taking care of themselves. >

By the power of the forest tribes, however, the plants that grow underfoot also eliminated the worry about food. It's self-sustaining. >

“You see this? They're all fine without my help. ”

< So the sacrifice…… is not it. >

Alpha was watching the liver the whole time.

Jungdown smiled.

“Okay, okay. Should I sacrifice in the long run? Yikes!"

< ……! >

The Alpha is happy to leap as Jungdown raises its base.

“Actually, I didn't think I'd be waiting this long. I thought he'd be here in a day or two. Well, I told you that sacrifice would be a firearm monster, right? ”

Yep, that's right. The most effective offerings here today are ghosts. >

“Let's catch a few, then. ”

< You may be in danger, but why don't you take out all the golems? >

“I don't need it. ”

Jungdown glances at the burning forest with a gentle expression.

Ghosts are so massive that even the forest is full of cow-looking faces.

“Purge. Purge. Purge. Purge. Purification.”

Paaaaah! Paaah! Pod! Pa!

White purifying spheres appear on the palm of his hand.

As Jungdown swung his hands after the wingworms, the purifying spheres all flew towards the distant spirits.

Cluck?

As soon as I saw him, the flying Sweetfish all lit up their eyes.

And he shook his tail vigorously along the trails of purifying spheres.

“Kuo!? ”

The souls of the demons who were wandering the forest to eat the flamethrowers ended there.

The mouths of gigantic slaughterers swallow the demons.

Woof!

Gulp!

In the belly of a hermit cradle full of water, demons are like hell.

Splash!

“Is it okay if the sacrifice gets a little cold? ”

< It will be less efficient, but you can increase the amount. >

“Good. Cleanse. Purge. Purge. ”

Paaaaaaaah!

Jungdown continued to pour the baboons into the purification sphere.

I could barely lift a finger, but the demons kept dying.

[Glug. What the...?]

Lugal was unable to keep his mouth shut for the astonishing sight.

I thought I was just playing for a month....

[You've become ridiculous.]

Jungdown asked him.

“Lugal, I'm tired of offering sacrifices, but can't I just have the altar here? ”

[... Glug.]

The answer is already given, so Rugal only has to answer.

But it was then.

Bahamut calls for a clean down.

[Master! I suddenly had a strange memory in my head!]
