Level Up

Michael mobilizes a drone to scour the area near the missing mountain.

The drones weren't the only ones. They were dragging the entire mountain with their team.

The trail leads back to the target, but I can't find it. It seemed to have disappeared using something special.

Or he flew in the sky.

‘There was no sign of a helicopter moving.... ’

So it was even weirder. Is it possible to get rid of all traces to avoid their own eyes?

Michael shakes his head firmly. That's absolutely impossible.

If so, we should just leave our target behind and go back, but we couldn't do that.

I've been yelling so loudly at Myeong-wook for so long, I can't stand this humiliation.

‘I have to find something. ’

With that in mind, Michael turned on the lights and searched everywhere.

And eventually I found one.

A black hole, a dark whirlpool.

It was subtly covered with vines, so it was in a place that was hard to find if it passed by without thinking.

“Individual dungeon?”

Michael gestures to his team in a hurry to gather everyone.

As soon as everyone gathered, they checked the individual dungeons and looked at Michael.

“You did what Michael did. ”

“What are the chances he escaped here? ”

“Half?”

The team says so, but Michael's convinced he escaped here.

“First, contact Myoung-wook. We found individual dungeons in the mountains. ”

Michael said that and looked around his team. His eyes were burning like flames.

“And here we go. ”

Michael, this is an individual dungeon. It's a different dimension than the clumsy black holes in the production zone. ”

“But if he escaped here, there's a good chance it's a dungeon. Isn't that right?”

“Unless you're certain he escaped here, we can't just go in there alone. I need to be prepared.”

Michael pats the opposing team member on the shoulder.

“I'm not saying I want to clear the dungeon. Just a simple reconnaissance. ”

A member of the team who opposed Michael's remarks nodded.

Clearly, these individual dungeons were crucial to early reconnaissance. They were veterans on an early patrol.

Unlike other players, I've been through a lot of these individual dungeons.

And we had to make sure that the target could escape here and survive.

If the dungeon is not hard enough for him to survive, it's not bad to just clear it.

“Good. Let's rest while we make contact. You know we have to stay sharp, right? ”

That said, Michael laughed.

“I've had ten more experiences than you. ”

They contacted Carlson as well as Myoung-wook. No, I reported it to Carlson first and then to Myeong-wook later.

Michael prioritized reporting to Carlson no matter what he was doing. All you need to do is leave a simple text.

Carlson took such a simple report very seriously. Michael was always a stickler for the manuals because he didn't know what would happen if Carlson broke something important.

“W-we 've already reported it, so shall we go in? Equipment inspection?”

“Okay.”

“Then let's go inside. ”

Michael and his team enter the dungeon.

And it never came back.

* * *

Hyun-seok sat in the airplane seat and closed his eyes.

Going to the United States was actually not that simple. Moreover, Hyun-seok didn't have a passport.

But Yang Yang Wook solved all that very simply.

Hyun-seok was able to fly safely, feeling with his body how great modern cosmetics are.

There was still a gateway to the U.S. airport, but I wasn't too worried.

I realized how good a choice it was to recruit Sae Sam Yang Wook.

At first, Lee Se-hee was more coveted, but now the situation has reversed. If you bring me a hundred Yang-se-hee, I won't trade it for Yang Tong-wook.

Suddenly, I was wondering if I could solve the car license in this way.

But soon, I shook my head.

‘When I go to America...... and after I meet him, I'll have some time. ’

Perhaps you'd better get a license. I bought a car.

I left the new car too long, so I gave it to Yang Yang Wook.

When I got my license, I decided to buy a new car.

‘I'm glad Lexton Energy is where it belongs, by the way. ’

Lexton Energy's headquarters is in Manhattan. There was a whole building there.

It was very stiff from the beginning.

Well, it was a company built by big oil capitalists, but that was nothing.

It was clear that there was a great security system within the building, using the artifacts from the dungeon as well as the state-of-the-art.

‘We have to get through it. ’

There's probably a research facility in there, and some important stuff.

Not to mention heavily guarded.

America was a country where guns could be used. Lexton Energy Headquarters was most likely covered with more weapons than guns.

You just have to get the information you want out of those things. Probably not easy

‘But it's not impossible. ’

He was confident. Even if it didn't work, it wasn't a job to take out a body.

Even if Ryan was the world's greatest player, he was sure Hyun-seok would overwhelm him.

Even though the level is not the best in the world, the stack or the amount of magical power will be the best in the world.

‘No, the level measurement is magical anyway, so my level will be the highest. ’

While I was thinking about it, the plane arrived in New York.

* * *

Nothing has happened in the airport in vain.

Hyun-Seok left the airport and took a taxi to Manhattan. I didn't intend to take too long.

I was just planning on starting work today.

‘Maybe...'... I think they've found it by now. ’

Hyun-seok left a gift for the team that was chasing him.

Technically, it wasn't exactly a gift I prepared for Michael Tim. It was prepared for another purpose, but unfortunately it was a gift to Michael's team.

I don't know how hard I've tried to drag that individual dungeon into the mountains.

Still, black holes were much easier to handle than invisible dungeons.

If he had to drag the invisible dungeon there, he would have clearly given up halfway.

After all, the gift probably worked because they had a rough idea of the power.

‘I hope the timing is right. ’

If it turns out that Michael's team went missing from that dungeon, Lexton's energy won't stand for it.

There will be a significant amount of movement. And the players will be moving towards Korea on a large scale.

This means there is a slight chance that the power of the Lexton headquarters will be dispersed.

I didn't mean to come all this way, but it turned out to be a good trick.

Maybe I'll take a kid to clear that dungeon at Lexton headquarters.

That dungeon is not as good as I thought.

The string came down from the entrance of Manhattan. Lexton's energy is in the heart of Manhattan, but he didn't go there on purpose.

I wasn't going to do anything at all that made me think of it.

Of course, it had nothing to do with being a fake face.

Hyun-Seok crossed Manhattan to the Lexton Energy Headquarters.

Manhattan was very complicated. Lots of people, lots of cars. Of course, Hyun-seok didn't notice any of those things.

Suddenly arriving at the Lexton Energy Headquarters, Jupiter was slightly surprised by the enormous magical power of the building.

It was because there were so many magical things in there, not because one magical power was huge.

It was similar to the magic of a small castle in the Magic System. So how many artifacts, players and dungeons are there?

‘First...... I have a problem getting in. ’

It was clearly very vigilant. It didn't seem easy just to get into the building.

Then you can use another building nearby.

And I thought night would be better than day. I saw too many eyes during the day.

Hyun-seok found a famous franchise coffee shop near him and went inside.

And I waited until nightfall.

* * *

It's nightfall. Hyundai watches Lexton's energy until then to make sure the timing is correct.

The flow of magical power was quite busy throughout the day. A considerable amount of magical power escaped the building.

Probably high-level players wearing powerful artifacts.

‘In their own way, they would have investigated the DMChemical...... and moved the guilds involved with them to complete the dungeon expedition. ’

Then you may have also learned that the dungeon can never be harmed by hunting in a simple way.

He would have also seen that it was worth focusing all their strength on attacking the dungeon.

‘If we can figure out which of them moved this time, we'll know exactly where this guild is related to. ’

In preparation for that, I gave Yang Yang Wook a message in advance. Probably won't have to dig too hard.

There are so many players on the move that they can't hide it completely and keep it a secret.

Yang Yang Wok's ability, and the ability of the black market as one of his contacts, will be a piece of cake.

In many ways, this trip to the United States was beneficial. Perhaps there will be enough profit to go back.

‘This is the best way to get the essence of Magical Power processed first...' ’

Once the stone shakes and disappears from the Lexton Energy Headquarters, there may be an emergency here as well.

Then many players and guilds will be forced to move.

In addition to that, they may be moving to the Dungeon Management Center.

Once you know all of that, it will be much easier to take action against Lexton Energy.

Hyun-seok left the coffee shop and moved quickly and secretly along the shadow of the night.

The boundaries of Lexton Energy headquarters are not that different from the day. The guards and methods were the same as during the day.

But I felt for sure that Hyundai did not.

‘And there are many convenient ways to use it at night. ’

For once, darkness is a powerful help to those who move in secret like this.

Unlike people who know the world by using all of their senses, not just their eyes, like a marble, ordinary people rely on many parts of their vision.

This means that blindness is inevitable.

Hyundai quickly passed through the square made so.

I crossed the first gate very simply. Now all that was left was how to deal with the state-of-the-art equipment that was dominating the building.

Hyun-seok has prepared for that as well.

‘Since there will be a time limit, after enduring as long as possible... …. ’

Hyun-seok set and moved from the beginning.

It was impossible to sweep through this huge building in the first place. So it was best to choose one objective and focus only on robbing it.

The site was chosen by Hyun-Seok for the highest concentration of horsepower in the building.

Probably the most important things were gathered there.

"There's a good chance it's an artifact vault. ’

Note that it is important to distinguish them from where they store their horses.

Lexton Energy is a company created to draw energy from the stable.

Therefore, they will be storing large quantities of high grade stable stones.

If there was a place with a goal, it was half the trouble.

So you have to set goals well.

Hyun-seok quickly moves toward the destination he took a picture of and stops moving.

Now I have just come to a situation where there are no answers anymore.

A few more moves would have been the destination, but doing so here would have lost more time.

‘Then... shall we start the real operation? ’

A faint smile came from the mouth of the stone.
