[Skill Core]

‘Gene Chronos Concentration’ (Rating: Normal)

: Focus increases during combat to accomplish things you might never be able to do. However, if the grade is low due to a failure to grow, it will not work properly.

-Additional description-

Gene Chronos, the Dark Carnage, first awakened. This skill was favored by the legendary Night ‘Gene Kronos’, who fell into the trap of an enemy in the 4th Dimension War and fled after defeating 114 enemy Titans. Growth conditions are very tricky skills, so it's not easy to grow them, but if you can grow them properly, you can expect a certain effect. By the way, Jean Kronos has grown this skill to a legendary grade.

(Cooldown: None) (Skill Type: Passive)

(Consumption dimension: none) (Growth condition: unknown)

(Unique Skill Effect: Beginner Titan Manipulation)

“Things haven't changed that much, have they? Beginner Titan manipulation? What's this?”

- This is a unique skill and a new passive effect. To put it simply…… your ability to control Titan has improved when you are on board Titan.

“Titan...... what have I got to do with Titan, not Night? ”

Soohyuk honestly didn't like the new unique skill effect. Of course, controlling Titan has been the goal of a lifetime of unthinkable dreams. But Titan, moving to Mana, was something only the Knights could control.

Suhyuk gained a special power called the transcendence system, but he could not handle Mana. So Titan's manipulation was, of course, an inability to feel great emotion.

- I don't have enough information on Titan. If we can get in touch with Titan directly in the future, we might be able to help a little more.

“I don't know if there's a chance, to be honest. ”

Titan can't be ridden lightly, even with diarrhea. If not, the Titans were treated specially for their rides called 'Master Knights'.

“It's a waste of a skill slot anyway...... but it's a skill that can be awesome, so I'll try to grow it somehow. ”

- It would be a great skill if you could grow it.

Soohyuk already happened and if the situation cannot be changed, he did not regret much.

What was important to him was not the past, but the present or the future.

That's why I felt sorry for the loss of a blood-like skill slot, but now I try to think of something hopeful.

“Yes, please, I wish it could be that way. ”

Suhyuk nods with a bitter smile.

The time in the dungeon has passed. Suhyuk was going to finish the neutralization in here, so he organized all the loot from the dungeon in front of the Dungeon Exit and waited for the neutralization to end.

After more than 40 hours, Soohyuk was finally able to come back out of the world again.

Soohyuk came out of the dungeon with a full load on his back and carefully looked around.

In this situation, Suhyuk should be most cautious of the so-called 'dungeon thieves’.

It was only a few thieves who were able to defeat them with Suhyuk's ability, but if they met the right 'bandits’, it could be dangerous.

Jan, what do you think? Did you catch anything? ’

- There is no special energy reaction within a kilometer radius.

Okay, then keep searching every five minutes. Especially Manna, tell me the little energy reactions right away. ’

- Okay, but as you know, my navigation isn't universal. If the opponent has the ability to hide his or her energy, it cannot be found.

‘I know. The thieves can't be that capable anyway, so just check it out. ’

Now I had to be more sensitive to the Mana energy reaction than the Dimensional Force energy reaction.

Suhyuk, who made sure that no one was there, took his bike that he had set up near the exit and loaded it firmly.

Then he rode his bike straight to his house.

As soon as Suhyuk got home, he headed to a shabby warehouse right behind the house. There were all kinds of junk inside the warehouse, but Soohyuk glanced around and carefully removed the junk and pulled the lever that was hidden on one side.

Yuck, that's a bummer.

Then the floor of the warehouse opened, revealing the stairs.

This was a secret warehouse, one of the crucial reasons why Soohyuk was not leaving this house.

Soohyuk carefully enters the Secret Storage and unloads the goods on one side.

The secret storage was empty because it had been taken and sold to Seowon Tae a while ago.

After unloading everything in the secret warehouse, Soohyuk closed the entrance after leaving and hid it well with the junk again.

Suhyuk was able to move all the loot in the dungeon back and forth exactly four more times by bike to his secret warehouse. Thanks to the superior navigation capabilities of the transcendental system, no one caught me.

Thanks to you, the Secret Storage is really full, and it looks like we'll have to stash the loot in the house if we don't get rid of it soon.

‘Let's go back and clean up the loot and find out what happens next. ’

Everything became cautious because the situation was intricately entangled and as a result, Suhyuk became a total lowlife in the third grade dungeon.

Su-hyuk could immediately become a criminal and be wanted for stealing a Grade 3 dungeon by himself, no matter how twisted the situation was, as the Colony Federation's robbery of another man's dungeon was treated as a crime rather than murder.

So Su-hyuk had to act more carefully.

* * * *

This time, Suhyuk went to Seowon Tae right after paying money to enter the colony. I didn't bring the loot because it was a cold situation.

The moment Suhyuk entered Seo Won-tae's store, Seo Won-tae looked quite surprised.

“W-what happened to you?" You didn't join the party? ”

“No, I used to join… but it's a long story. ”

“Anyway, thank God. ”

Seo Won-tae was genuinely relieved. In fact, he thought that Soohyuk might have died because he introduced his work to Soohyuk for no reason. So I haven't been feeling very well for the last few days.

“But what really happened? The search party was already rigged for the disappearance of your team a few days ago... Are they all alive? ”

“Unfortunately, I was the only one who survived. ”

“Huh? What do you mean? You survived on your own? ”

Suhyuk was a dungeon cleaner. Common sense is that if the dungeon fails to explore, it is likely that the first person to die would be this dungeon cleaner.

However, I had no choice but to understand that I was the only one who survived.

“I see……. ”

Soohyuk calmly discussed the situation inside the dungeon. In the process, of course, the knights changed their roles to dead after slightly reducing their performance as much as they had anticipated. And critically, Woojin said that he was able to save his own life by sacrificing himself.

A little lie mixed up, but nothing seemed particularly strange because it was based on the truth.

“So you survived alone and ate the whole dungeon? ”

“Yes. Is it... going to be a problem?" ”

“Trouble...... Did you clean up the dungeon properly? ”

“I've erased all traces and neutralized all dimensional forces. At least not by my standards. ”

“Good job getting the dungeon cleaned up. In fact, if that's the situation you're talking about, anyone would have to do it. But the problem is that one of the three dead knights belonged to the largest Blue Wings Knights in the Water Colony. ”

“It's probably Lee Ho-seok. But no matter how much I think about it, I don't understand why I let the guy who secretly tried to attack the Dungeon without officially reporting it to the Knights leave the Blue Wings Knights alone. ”

Soohyuk could easily tell who belonged to the Blue Wing Knights without Seo Won-tae telling him.

“That's right. That's him. Of course, it wouldn't be strange if you were removed from the Knights immediately after attacking the dungeon without formally reporting to your Knights. But... the problem is that he was the cousin of Lee Hophil, the Master of the Blue Wings Knights. ”

“Mmmm... ”

“So even though Lee Ho-phil is expelled, he organized a search party to do it after finding his brother, and the search party is searching around Colony. That's why I asked you to clean up the dungeon. If you hadn't cleaned up the dungeon, you might have found your presence in reverse tracking. ”

“You're welcome.”

“But it's still early to be relieved. Of course, the only people who knew you were on that team were me and the team that died, but no one knew where any evidence would come from. So from now on, don't go anywhere near that dungeon. You didn't mess this up, did you? ”

“The interior of the dungeon was cleaned as best I could, and all traces outside the dungeon were removed as naturally as possible. ”

“Well, you're clean as a whistle. But you have to be careful. Oh, and the loot from the dungeon...... I think we should split it as slowly as possible with at least a few years to process it normally... It's a bit difficult, isn't it? ”

“Hmmm, I think I need some money right away...... So what do we do? ”

“Actually, technically, solving black markets is the only way to sell dangerous goods overseas. Of course, you know that selling overseas is practically impossible. ”

“So you're really just going to have to sell it slowly for a few years? ”

“In principle, it's the wisest way...... but there is one other way. ”

Seo Won-tae paused and took a quick look around. Then he took his mouth to Suhyuk's ear and whispered very secretly.

“Some of the guys I know are desperate to get something like that. The way I see it, the only way to deal with it is to take it to him. ”

“Does he buy you everything? ”

“He's just a fucking lunatic. And she probably won't even buy one little piece of that horse bone of yours. Actually, he's not a merchant. That's why you're not getting paid. But you can get something other than money. ”

“What's that? ”

“Stuff. He's a really crazy occipital lung. ”

“Ah……. ”

Until now, Su-hyuk was able to understand Seo Won-tae's words roughly.

“Anyway, you must never tell anyone about his existence. He's hiding because he has a reason. And don't come to this colony for a while. If you need to do anything in the colony for a while, go to the colony. You know, the Knights can be a little overzealous when it comes to the same night. So this case is probably gonna be a lot bigger than I thought. That way, I'll be robbing them of the equipment I gave them. ”

Seo Won-tae didn't say everything to the end, but Su-hyuk was able to fully understand what he was saying.

“I understand.”

“Oh! And... thank you for being alive. ”

Seo Won-tae gave Su-hyuk a small note with the coordinates, saying as if she were passing the last word.

“Memorize these coordinates quickly and just eat the paper. By the way, when we get there, there 'll be nothing. But don't panic. Crazy dog will crawl out on his own if he says he sent you. ”

The Mad Dog was the nickname of Seowon Tae. Seo Won-tae was once the best ‘helper’ Knights could find. Of course, the Mad Dog was also the nickname I got back then.

“Yes, thank you. ”

“That's it. I don't need a salutation. Just go. I don't want to be with you, and I don't want to get bombed. ”

Seo Won-tae said as if chasing away the annoying flies, but Soohyuk bowed politely once again and left the store.

As soon as Soohyuk came out of Seo Won-tae's shop, he crumpled the paper in his hand and put it in his mouth. Then quickly disappeared into the dark alley.

Now that the Blue Wings Knights began to move, what Soohyuk could do was stay as invisible as possible. Once Seo Won-tae locked her mouth properly, the possibility of Soohyuk's existence was extremely slim.

However, it was also not completely absent, so it was best not to just appear like Seo Won-tae said.

Of course, Suhyuk did not leave Seowon Tae's shop immediately.

One thing remains... … He was thinking of taking care of it and escaping the colony because there is one thing left to do.
