The Live

“Phew...”

Dozens of corpses lay on the ground.

Meanwhile, I looked around with an uncomfortable expression.

Even though you're already dead and turned into a monster, it doesn't feel good.

How the hell did you make that? ’

It looks like you're dealing with a zombie.

No matter how hard you cut, you keep moving. Like you don't feel pain.

“What kind of joke are you playing with people...? ”

Normally, he took a bite out of it.

I can't even imagine what happened here.

A living corpse.

Unlike the skeletons I've seen before, their skin doesn't rot and rot. Moreover, skin and bones were much tougher than normal people.

I felt like I was cutting a stone, not a man.

“Bro, we're done here.... ”

I turned my head to look for Yoon Jae's appearance, and my normal voice was cut off in the middle.

Debris lying on the floor.

Ten chimeric corpses have been dismembered and scattered all around.

Yoon Jae took a big breath in between and looked back at the norm.

“Oh, is it over? ”

“... And you? ”

“Yes, I just finished. ”

The remnants of red magic slowly disappeared around Yun Jae.

Regular people opened their mouths and looked at the remnants of the surrounding chimeras.

"Aren't they stronger than you think? ’

I was nervous because I looked strong, but I was embarrassed to be able to clean up Yoon Jae all by myself in this short time.

Regular said, scratching his head with a shy face.

“I guess I couldn't help you. I shouldn't have rushed.”

“There's nothing I can do to help. It's been so hard.”

Yoon Jae said that and took a big breath.

I felt a bit dizzy because I had spent a lot of magic.

“You okay?"

“Yeah. There's more to these guys than meets the eye. ”

Yun Jae said so and began to examine the corpse of the Chimera lying on the floor.

It's hard to put a knife through their bodies without their magic.

Yoon Jae reanimates their corpses with a few remaining magical powers.

Mwaaak -

A clean, half-cut body clearly revealed its interior.

In this disgusting scene, Yoon Jae frowned slightly, but did not look away.

Yoon Jae pulls a small jewel out of Chimera's body. A small blue jewel the size of a fingernail was placed where the human heart should be.

“Is that what you mean? ”

“Yes."

Yoon Jae examined the blue jewels carefully.

I felt a faint magical power. It seems to be the power source that has kept the chimeric bodies without hearts moving so far.

‘Emotions.’

[Chimera Magic Stone]

Rating: -

Classification: Materials

# A magic stone Abram used to make chimeras. It contains only a few magical powers that power the chimera.

A gem of magic.

Other than that, there was nothing unusual.

Yoon Jae examined the bodies of the Chimera lying around.

They all have magic stones like this in their bodies.

‘I don't know if this is good or not. ’

It won't be as worthless as a gem with magic.

However, Yoon Jae, who still didn't know the exact value of the Magic Stone, could not figure out whether to like it or not.

“These guys were all moving on this? ”

The regular person who approached saw the magic stone on Yun Jae's hand and asked.

“I think so. ”

Yoon Jae put the Magic Stone in his pocket. Fortunately, it wasn't that big, so I didn't think it would be a big problem if I took several.

“Let's just take it all. ”

“Yes.”

Ten Magic Stones.

It was the first harvest I got in the dungeon.

* * *

Since then, Yoon Jae and Jeong have been wandering around the dungeon.

Dungeons, labs were so wide that they couldn't feel a thing.

The path that was in a straight line was divided into branches from one moment to another, and several rooms appeared.

The inside of the huge cliff was all made up of laboratories.

“How many days has it been? ”

While sitting down for a while, the regular person asked.

I couldn't tell how much time had passed since I couldn't see the sun. I just felt like it was flowing pretty well.

“It could have been a week. ”

Yoon Jae chewed up the amount of food he had taken.

I suddenly realized that Yoon Jae, who put his hand in the food bag, didn't have much time.

Why didn't you bring more? ’

The volume of the food bag was not infinite.

There was limited amount of dry water to take, and no matter how superhuman the flesh was, Yoon Jae and the norm couldn't survive without food.

It didn't take much time to get out of the dungeon and consider the time to return to the village.

Yoon Jae took out the dry stuff and put it back in the food bag.

From now on, it was time to save water and food a little. If you think about it until the time you go back, it is right to save from the early days.

‘Please……. ’

Yoon Jae muttered, looking at the huge iron gate in front of him.

“I hope this is the last one. ”

A huge 5-meter-long iron gate with Abram the Great.

Yun Jae got up from his seat hoping that this would be the end of the lab.

“You're going in already? ”

Seeing Yoon Jae wake up from his seat, a regular person asked him.

“You're all rested, right? ”

“Look around you. This is where you can rest. ”

Normally, he said that and hated it.

A whole bunch of dead bodies lying around.

Unrecognizable flesh points and limbs cut off by the sword were frightening enough to make a splinter.

It was the remnants of the chimeras guarding that iron gate.

Since entering the dungeon, Yoon Jae and Jung have been dealing with numerous chimeras.

There were hundreds of magic stones just like that. I couldn't afford it anymore, so I put magic stones in my food bag.

“Smells of blood... How can I rest here? ”

“I'm asking if the magic has returned. ”

“That's it... ”

After the battle with the Chimera, Yoon Jae and the Regular were resting pretty long here.

It was hard to recover from mental fatigue right away, but magical strength was inevitable.

“But is this really the last place? ”

Normally, he took a deep sigh and got up from his seat along Yoon Jae.

Then you look at the huge iron gate that the chimeras were guarding.

I have seen and entered several rooms in the laboratory.

However, it was only chimeras who waited for Yoon Jae and the regular in that room.

However, unlike the previous rooms made of small doors, this huge iron gate was something different.

It felt like the final boss would be waiting.

“I'm not sure if it's the last one, but there must be something. ”

Yoon Jae looked around the bodies of the chimeras and said.

“There's never been a room with this many chimeras. ”

20 chimeras.

It was twice as many chimeras as it had ever been.

There was no place where there were so many chimeras. Of course, it was the hardest while fighting.

Each one is a chimera with the power to overcome the monsters that appear around her. While fighting them, Yoon Jae was also wounded.

Fighting would have been much more difficult if the stats hadn't improved as we arrived here.

‘Obviously stats are rising widely. ’

In the tutorial, it was difficult to raise stats in other ways than the tutorial rewards.

However, as you hunt Chimera in the dungeon, the stat rises dramatically.

It's been about a week since the stats so far were close to 20.

“But what about the wounds? Are you feeling better already?”

“No problem.”

On a regular question, Yoon Jae showed a scar on her lower back.

There was not even a scar left.

The skill level of 'Tough Life’ has increased, so the wound's recovery speed has improved quite quickly.

The wound is healed, and the magic power that ran out in one battle is almost restored.

“Let's move. ”

“Yes.”

Jung followed behind Yoon Jae closely.

Yoon Jae headed for the huge iron gate. The iron door was in a form that could be locked or opened from the outside.

The iron door is locked with a chain as thick as your forearm.

Yoon Jae pointed to the chain with his hands.

“Can you cut this? ”

“I'll try. ”

At that point, Yoon Jae stepped aside for a moment.

At the same time.

Grrr.

S-evil...

The regular sword that stretched out its pore sword cut through its thick chains.

After a long time, the strength was weakened and the pore sword had such excellent cutting power.

Crumple-crumple-

The severed chain falls to the floor.

“There you go.”

“Open.”

Yoon Jae immediately started pulling on the iron gate.

Gain -

A huge, thick iron door, five metres thick, opens with a heavy voice.

As the door opened gradually, a bright light flowed from the inside.

The inside of the door was illuminated like no other.

Yoon Jae and the regular guy frowned a little in a sudden bright field of view.

Within a few moments, the two men found a large space inside the iron gate, frozen in place.

“Wow... ”

“ ……. ”

Normally, I opened my eyes wide and looked at the view from the inside, without feeling my eyes breaking.

Laboratory.

That fits perfectly.

It was different from the other rooms I had seen so far.

Huge rooms, no cavities, had a proper laboratory structure.

Tons of desks. and hundreds and thousands of books stacked on top of it.

Most notably, it was a giant flask located in the center of the cavity.

Jubbuck-

Yoon Jae, who was frozen for a moment, started to step into the cavity first.

Vogel Vogel -

Yoon Jae approached the giant flask in the middle of the joint.

The red water is boiling inside...

"People?"

...... There was a limp inside.

A young man. Long hair floats on top of the water, but does not wear a thread.

It seemed to have been undergoing some experiments.

While standing in front of the flask and looking inside, Yoon Jae turned his gaze and looked around the entire cavity.

It seemed as if the entire cavity was built to manage this giant flask.

“What... is this place?" ”

Regular looked around the large cavity and approached Yun Jae.

No sign of the chimera. It seems that the chimera guarding the entrance was everything.

“I think this is the end. ”

There was no entrance to the next location. A giant laboratory, the end of the dungeon, was this very joint.

“The end.... ”

Yoon Jae stared at the person in the flask and turned his gaze around.

‘Then it must be here somewhere. ’

Abram the Great Study.

The colony.

Yoon Jae began to roam the joint.

Hundreds of books and unknown liquid flasks written in complex languages. And a chalkboard with some formula on it.

It was a well-equipped laboratory that I had never seen before.

However, Yoon Jae didn't have much interest in them. I just didn't know it anyway.

Yoon Jae was looking for something else.

Is this it?

The innermost wall of the cavity.

There was a knob protruding from the handle.

Yoon Jae grabbed the handle and pulled straight on.

Gurgle-

Gain -

A wall about a meter in diameter was revealed.

Inside, there are several small flasks.

‘Found it.'

Flasks containing red, blue and purple liquids.

This is Abram the Great.

That's why Yoon Jae found Abram's lab.

‘Three red, three blue, one purple. ’

I knew what a flask containing red and blue liquids was.

But…….

What's purple? ’

It was a flask not mentioned in the diary.

Dark-

Yoon Jae took all seven flasks from the wall. Purple offended me, but I thought it'd be better to keep it.

That's when I took all the flasks.

“Brother, this is.... ”

Somewhere a little further away.

The regular man stammered and said in a loud voice.

“I think it's moving. ”

“What?"

Yoon Jae swung his head.

From time to time, the regular was looking into the giant flask that was in the cavity.

A human corpse in a red liquid.

No, I thought it was a corpse.

What do you mean, it's moving?

‘No way... ’

Abram's laboratory was a place that was long forgotten.

No one knows how long it will take. Only Abram remembers the existence of the lab.

No, I don't even know if it's a vague memory anymore.

The chains on the iron doors rusted, and the dust piled up on the books were hideous enough to cover the writing.

He had been in the red liquid for a long time.

And it's moving?

"Was it a chimera, not a man? ’

Then there was a possibility.

Unlike the other chimeras, I thought he was a person because he looked sane.

Yoon Jae approached the giant flask where it was normally standing.

“Moving?”

And I said, "Yeah, I just blinked. ”

“You're not wrong, are you? ”

“No, look. ”

The norm shakes its head and points inside the flask.

Yoon Jae looked carefully at the person in the red liquid.

Let's do it.

Bugle -

A small bubble rises from the liquid and the trapped person opens his eyes small.

“... It's real. ”

It was clear.

Not a normal person.

Ordinary people wouldn't be alive in there for this long.

The person in the flask stops the other action with one blink of an eye.

Yoon Jae felt a strange glamour in him.

What do we do? ’

I've got everything I need.

All you have to do is go back.

However, the person in the flask in front of me was intrigued.

Should we just go through it or should we save it?

When I think about it rationally, it's right to just go through it.

If it's a chimera, there's nothing good about it.

But…….

‘It's gross. ’

Unlike other chimeras, it looks just like ordinary humans.

And the whole lab seemed to be built for one person in the flask.

“What do you want me to do? ”

The regular was also disturbing.

Dead bodies, as long as they know they're alive, can't just walk past them without thinking.

“ ……. ”

Yoon Jae stood in front of him for a moment and thought.

The human in the flask.

No, I couldn't tell if it was a human or a chimeric or if it was something else entirely.

Yoon Jae, who was having second thoughts, finally made a choice.

“Collateral damage.”

Yoon Jae took his hand to the sword.

Break the flask.

If that person in there really is an ordinary person, he's right to save them.

No, if it's a chimera, you can hunt it.

“Are you sure about this?"

Regular asked in a worrying tone.

Maybe he was a living human being who stayed in one place for decades. It was never ordinary.

It was more likely that it was a chimera, perhaps more than a human being.

It may be dangerous.

“Better than not checking. ”

I couldn't leave it like this if it was just used as a test subject.

On the contrary, no monster lacks much self-esteem.

‘If I do.... ’

Yoon Jae opened her mouth, remembering the seven flasks she had in her arms.

“It's going to be okay. ”

Regular nodded in full confidence.

It was a strange car to just go around like this.

“Okay, then break it. ”

“Good.”

Yoon Jae, who had obtained normal consent, nodded and drew his sword.

Then the man in the flask opened his eyes again and looked at Yoon Jae.

With a clearer eye.

The moment I met him like that.

Scheech -

Along with the biopsy, Yoon Jae's sword tapped the flask.

Bummer!

Jiaying-

The flask-tapped sword flies away.

Yoon Jae frowned deeply because of the pain she felt in her hands.

I swung my sword as hard as I could to destroy the flask, but it bounced off.

"What's so hard about it? ’

There were no scratches on the walls of the flask where the sword struck. I couldn't feel how hard it was.

“I'll try again. ”

Yoon Jae came.

Ooo-

You pull up your magical power and inject it into Zahar's chains. The magic spilled increases the cutting power of the sword.

With this, even a rock can be cut down in a heartbeat.

But…….

Bummer!

The results were the same.

On a flask that still didn't have a scratch on it, Lu Jae made a hollow face.

“What's so hard about it? ”

From the outside, it looked like ordinary glass.

No, the glass was actually hit.

The problem was a membrane spread around the glass.

Did you put some kind of magic in there? ’

A hard membrane spread around a flask.

It was protecting the flask from breaking.

At Yun Jae's level, it was impenetrable.

‘If not at once……. ’

No, I'm fine!

Boom, boom!

Yoon Jae swung his sword at the flask several times.

However, the membrane that was spread around the flask still did not budge.

Seeing a veil with no small scratches, Yoon Jae put down his sword in his empty heart.

“This... must be hard to break. ”

Normally, Yoon Jae's hand, which was wielding the sword, shook his tongue.

Although it is said that regular people possess the skill ’Porcelain Sword’, the power of Yun Jae's sword, which increases the cutting power through Zahar's shackles, is also not much different.

“…… I can't help it. I can't stay here because of this. ”

Yoon Jae sticks out his tongue, looking at the membrane so hard that his hands hurt.

Their abilities cannot break that veil. From then on, he was assigned to Abram or the Skyscraper Clan, the lab owner.

‘I have everything I need anyway. ’

Yoon Jae turned around, feeling uneasy.

“Let's go back.”
