Episode 47
ego (4)
The undead monsters that appear in dungeons are often similar to what people have imagined, such as games, movies, comics, and novels.
If you don’t smash your head, you won’t fall down.
Weak to fire and holy attributes.
It’s poisonous.
Because the vitality of living beings is perceived as an enemy, stealth skills do not work.
On the other hand, it is different from commonly known common sense.
“Keeeeeek!”
It’s very fast!
As I turned the corner of the dungeon, the ghoul rushed at me at high speed as if it had been waiting. Jeongdo calmly raised his long-armed hat and blocked the ghoul’s claws.
“Kaaaaak!”
The ghoul howled viciously, apparently displeased that its surprise attack was blocked. It seems that he sensed Jeong-do’s vitality and was preparing for a surprise attack, but on the contrary, Jeong-do already knew that there was a ghoul behind the corner.
‘How can you not notice the smell of a rotting corpse?’
Jeong Do frowned at the stench of the ghoul howling in front of him.
“bout!”
I put strength into both hands holding the spear and pushed the ghoul away with all my might. His strength, which has received the boost effects of various equipment, has already surpassed B-level and is at the level of A-level. Naturally, the B-class ghouls were easily pushed aside. When the ghoul was suddenly pushed away and stumbled, unable to maintain its center of gravity, a stabbing blow exploded into the ghoul’s head.
“Keez… .”
The ghoul, whose head was pierced by Samo’s spear blade, struggled for a moment and then fell limp. After making sure that the ghoul was dead, Jeong-do pulled out Samo.
‘It’s easy.’
Just as B-level users are classified into high-level users, dungeons are also classified from B-level into high-level dungeons. The level of monsters was incomparably higher than that of a C-class dungeon. Because of that, I was very nervous and went through the dungeon, but the dungeon was much more worth doing than I thought.
‘I’ve become really strong.’
Just looking at the status displayed in the status window, it is Grade A. But it was stronger than that.
Various experiences gained from loaded characters. The skills of people who dominated an era were gradually accumulating in Jeong Do’s body. If he continues his current growth pace, he will reach S rank in no time. When I imagined myself becoming an S-class, my heart pounded for no reason. Once you become S-class…
<Well, master. Can I eat it now?>
Ixia’s earnest voice woke Do-do from his thoughts. this. What kind of future are you planning in a place where even a moment of inattention can lead to death? Jeongdo scolded himself internally and focused on the dungeon again.
“wait a minute. “I have something to check.”
Jeongdo said that and opened the inventory function. And although he tried to catch the ghoul’s corpse and put it in his inventory.
<The corpse of this monster cannot be stored in the inventory.>
“this.”
Why not? If you could store the monster’s corpse in your inventory, you could have amassed enormous wealth, but it was a shame. I can’t help it. All the monsters in the dungeon belong to Ixia…
“huh? for a moment.”
Jeongdo refocused on the notification that just came to mind.
‘That monster?’
If it is not possible to put all monsters in the inventory, there is no need to use the word ‘corresponding’. That’s right.
‘Are there monsters that can be stored in the inventory?’
So, by what criteria is it determined which monsters are stored in the inventory and which are not?
What type of monster? Monster level? Or maybe it was the difference between regular monsters and boss monsters.
‘Anyway, there’s still room to test it out.’
The extent to which he came to that conclusion and spoke to Ixia.
“good. Ixia. “You can eat this too.”
<Thank you. master! I will be loyal forever!>
Is it that delicious? Just enough to swear eternal loyalty to two ghouls? I laughed it off lightly and proceeded with the dungeon again.
* * * * * *
“Keeeeek!”
“Kaaaaak!”
This time, two ghouls rushed at the same time. Jeong Do calmly widened the distance and quickly swung his sword sideways.
“Keeek!”
Recalling the time when I loaded the equipment in front of Seongsu Bridge, I swung with the intention of splitting both of them at once, but the reality was not as I thought. At most, a small cut could only blow off one arm of a ghoul. The ghouls quickly approached Jeongdo.
“good! Come on!”
It didn’t go as planned, but that’s also an experience. Jeongdo was smiling without even realizing it. A monster that threatens your life. The experience you gain from fighting them. A heart that feels like it’s about to burst and a feeling of elation. It was all so enjoyable that I couldn’t bear it. Jeong Do held the spear briefly and activated his skill.
Bombardment.
It was an active striking skill obtained after loading Joun. The combat skills obtained by loading the Diamond characters so far are Changryongbo and Lion’s Hu. Both were great skills, but it was a bit disappointing that they couldn’t be used as a decisive blow. And the bombardment was a wonderful skill that made up for that disappointment.
“Hwaap!”
A blue energy waved in the samosa along with a loud sound of cheering. And a series of rapid thrusts were fired at a speed that was incomparable to before. It’s like a tiger roaring and rushing towards you. The two ghouls that were running pierced her entire body.
And it didn’t end there.
<The King of All Diseases has reproduced ancient weapons to a high level.>
<Long Arm Samo, inflicts splash damage with a low probability when attacking.>
Quagwagwang!
As the long-armed hat’s option was activated, the ghoul’s torso exploded. Instant death without even looking at it. The combination of a barrage with long arms and a long-armed hat displayed such terrifying power that even the extent to which the skill was used directly was surprising.
“woah… … .”
<What a waste… >
Ixia expressed regret that her meal(?) was ruined.
‘Right. If possible, we should leave the body so we can feed it to Ixia.’
I have to be careful. Do-do thought so and spoke to Ixia.
“Don’t be sad. “They will come again soon.”
The smell of rotting corpses was getting stronger. The sound of the explosion just now must have summoned nearby ghouls to gather. And as expected, after a while, seven ghouls flocked to the place where Dao was. After seeing that, Jeong-do took a deep breath and screamed.

“Kaaah!!!”
A shout was loud enough to make the dungeon rumble. And then a notification appeared in front of Jeongdo’s eyes.
<The skill Sajahu is activated. The target’s level is much higher than yours. The effect decreases. Enemy attack power is reduced by 10%.>
Jeongdo laughed again, cast Changryongbo and launched himself into the ghoul. And then the bombardment explodes once again! Due to synergy with Changryongbo’s speed, the two ghouls became rags. Seeing that sight, the remaining five ghouls flinched and took a step back. Is there a feeling of fear even though he is already a corpse? Jeongdo laughed inwardly, pivoted his body around his left foot, and swung his hat.
“Keeeeek!”
One of the targeted ghouls hurriedly raised his arm to block, but it was too late. The moment when Samo accurately cuts off the ghoul’s head.
Quagwang!
Samo’s effect was activated once again and the remaining ghouls were swallowed up.
* * * * * *
As it was a one-person dungeon, there were not many monsters. Before I knew it, I had defeated most of the ghouls and my level had increased by 2. Jeongdo decided to defeat the boss and walked towards it.
Not long after, the rather large door of the boss room welcomed him. A rather sinister force emanated from within.
Jeongdo checked his mana before entering the boss room.
“There are only 20 left.”
I thought it would be difficult because it was a B-class dungeon, but my combat power was better than expected, so I reached the boss room with surprisingly little mana.
‘If this happens, it might be a good idea to try something you’ve only been thinking about.’
From the moment I checked out Ixia’s <Persimmon-lv.2>, I knew I had to give it a try. Jeongdo loaded the album from the wire without hesitation.
<Confucius! It’s been a while. How have you been? >
<Aaaah! master! I hear a strange voice!>
<Ugh! Something! Where is the woman’s voice!>
“… … .”
Are you taking a picture? Jeongdo felt a headache and introduced each other.
“Yooseon. “This is Ixia and this is the new ring I got.”
<Ring? Huh… It’s a strange thing. Can the ring talk?>
“I think you can think of it as a soul residing in a ring. Ixia. This is Yuseon… .”
<Wait! Confucius. Let me introduce Jim myself. greatness. Wife and child. There was a lot of rudeness at first meeting. They say the luggage is wired. He is the emperor who rules over Shu Han.>
<Yes?! Emperor?!>
Yoo Seon introduced himself in a much more serious voice than usual and Ixia was surprised. No, does human status have any meaning to an ego item created by a dragon? I had some doubts about it, but Ixia seemed really impressed.
<Not a king, but an emperor who rules an empire. It’s really cool! Where is the empire called Shu Han located?>
<Uh… hmm. That’s it.>
After just two generations, he rolled it with his own hands and ate it. Jeongdo fiddled with the spear bar to control his itching mouth. Yoo Seon also hurriedly changed his mind, probably because he felt awkward talking.
<That… That’s not really important. By the way, Confucius! Why did you call me today? >
“… Well, it’s always the same reason. “Please take care of me today as well.”
Draw connections as usual. However, one more thing was added today.
<Persimmon-lv.2>
From the first time I saw it, I thought that if combined with Yoo Seon’s Kang Woon, it would create good synergy. Jeong-do explained to the two what he was about to do.
<It’s a drawing skill! master. I think I can be active!>
<Hmm… It’s a feeling. Confucius. I wonder if it’s okay to believe in such uncertain things.>
“… … .”
What is the emperor who ruled this country talking about? If someone else said it, it would be an absolutely correct opinion, but is this what someone with <Kangun-lv.2> would say? Ixia got angry at Yoo Seon’s words and came forward.
<What! My intuition is correct!>
<No. Woman, calm down. It’s not that I’m specifically trying to doubt the wife… … .>
Watching the conversation between the two made me more tired than fighting the ghouls myself. To put an end to this situation, I asked Ixia.
“Ixia. I’m going to draw from now on. “Please tell me the moment you feel it.”
<Ah, yes. master. hmm… Now!>
The moment Jeong Do heard Ixia’s words, he immediately used <Binding Draw>.
Paaaat!
Countless business cards were slowly spinning above Jeong-do’s head, and then one business card was shot at Jeong-do.
The business card fell down.
It was shining golden.
“Good!”
Jeong Do clenched his fists. A combination of <strong luck> and <persimmon>. It definitely seemed to work.
<Hmm… Maybe it was just because of the good luck… >
<Persimmon alone is enough!>
“Both of you are not children, so don’t inflame your rivalry.”
Actually, maybe we shouldn’t have let these two meet. With some regret, she accepted the falling business card.
As a storm of mana raged around Jeongdo, the King of All Diseases changed his appearance once again.
A huge bow made entirely of gold.
Fail-Not.
One of the famous Knights of the Round Table. It was Tristan’s weapon.
<The King of All Diseases succeeded in perfectly recreating an ancient weapon.>
<The arrow fired is sure to hit.>
“Status window.”
Tiring!

Possessed skills: <Magic Arrow>, <Arrow Shower>, <True Vision>
“This is it.”
I just did a light drawing with the intention of testing the combination of <Rangun> and <Persimmon>, but I got gold all at once. A character whose specs were too high for the current dungeon level was loaded.
<Sir. It’s an honor to meet you. I will sacrifice my body for God’s victory.>
<I like this person much better than Yoo Seon. Be gentle!>
Ixia’s words passed through one ear and Jeongdo responded to Tristan’s greeting. Tristan was very motivated and decided to be of some help. To some extent, I couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
That’s because this was a B-class dungeon. Despite his great motivation, his performance was bound to be short.
“Shall we go?”
A pale note in the left hand. An arrow made of mana was floating in his right hand. Jeong-do calmly shot an arrow at the target and kicked down the door to the boss room.
bang!
The ghoul guard tried to scream in response to the door opening with a loud noise, but unfortunately he couldn’t.
Kwasik.
A magic arrow filled with terrifying mana blew off the Ghoul jailer’s head.
