chapter 30
Tap—!
Carrying Plona in his arms, Hanbit quickly crossed the safe zone.
“Wah!”
Experiencing this for the first time, the girl widened her eyes in shock.
Meanwhile, Hanbit focused on the wind gathering around his sword.
‘Let’s go safely.’
The most dangerous trap corridor, with only one section left.
Passing through like before wouldn’t guarantee Plona’s safety.
Srrk—
As the edge of the safe zone came into view, Hanbit focused on the sword in his right hand.
What mattered now was precise trajectory.
He had to neutralize the traps while preserving the corridor’s shape as much as possible.
Tak—!
He stopped his feet and twisted his body into stance.
And the moment strong force flowed into the hand gripping the sword—
Whoosh—!
The blade swung in an arc.
KWAKWAKWA—!
The sharply formed wind surged violently through the cave.
Along the path it passed, the ceiling and walls shattered and collapsed.
What remained was a newly created space, slanted as if tilted.
“We’re going to run a bit fast. You okay?”
“I’m okay! I’ll hold on tight—!”
Whoosh—!
Before she could finish speaking, his body shot forward.
The unexpected speed drew a scream from timid Plona’s lips.
“Waaaaah!”
Whoosh—!
Hanbit pushed Wind’s Movement to its limit.
The reason appeared behind them in the corridor they had just passed.
Crunch—!
KWA-DRD—!
Old spear blades burst from the ceiling, creaking as they slammed into the floor.
Some traps couldn’t be destroyed by external attacks.
But thanks to the collapsed passage obstructing them, sheer speed was enough to overcome it.
“B-behind us…! Kyaaah!”
Plona, her gaze fixed behind them, screamed at the falling traps.
The viewers watching were just as startled.
-No way, holy shit lol
-You’re clearing the trap section like this?
-This could be solved by breaking it?
-No, tons of people tried breaking it and the whole corridor collapsed.
-Then what the hell is this?
-This is insane.
The unexpected method of overcoming it threw the chat into chaos.
Tap—!
Focused only on what lay ahead, Hanbit didn’t stop running.
And after dozens of seconds that felt long to the viewers—
They reached the exit of the corridor.
At that moment—
Kieek—!
With a bizarre sound, old sword blades flew in from both sides.
At the same time, Hanbit lowered his stance sharply.
Clang—!
The two blades collided and crossed in midair above his head.
“Hk!”
Plona, still shaken by the speed, swallowed a gasp at the sudden situation.
But Hanbit had already changed direction, kicking off and slashing upward to the right.
Pook—!
The sensation of piercing leather accompanied the blade sinking in.
Kkeuk—!
The goblin that launched the ambush failed to understand what had happened.
The instant it attacked, its own neck had been pierced.
Its weapon merely cut through empty air.
Chwaak—!
Pulling out the sword, Hanbit twisted his body and looked left.
[Goblin (Lv.24)]
Kieeek—!
Another goblin charged with a shriek at its comrade’s futile death.
Reading the simple sword trajectory, Hanbit lightly pivoted on one foot.
Whoosh—!
The goblin’s attack, driven purely by brute force, wobbled downward.
The moment its balance broke, Hanbit’s blade sliced across its neck.
Chwaak—!
Blood scattered through the air as the goblin collapsed to the floor.
This entire sequence happened in such a short span of time that everyone but Hanbit was stunned.
“Uh…?”
-Damn.
-I thought ambushes were guaranteed.
-What is that reaction speed?
-The goblin’s level 24 lol
-And it ends in one stab?
-Insta-kill, holy shit lol
Plona blinked blankly, and the viewers reacted in shock.
The reason the goblin died in a single strike was simple.
Damage based on hit location had been maximized by piercing a vital point.
To Hanbit, whose long years were steeped in combat, this was simply natural hunting.
“Hold tight. We’re going right away.”
“Ah… yes! I’ll hold on—!”
Tap—!
Once again, his body shot forward before she could finish speaking.
The newly revealed area was a massive space where walls reached all the way to the ceiling, intertwined in complexity.
A structure commonly called a maze.
-At least the maze boss is here.
-If Black Dragon wastes all his time here, instant upvote.
-For real, even with a guide it takes forever.
-It’s confusing as hell lol
This area too was infamous, and the viewers’ mood shifted once again.
What they expected was Black Dragon screaming after hitting dead ends over and over.
Drrr—
As he crossed the boundary, the passage behind them closed.
Without looking back, Hanbit advanced without the slightest hesitation.
Tap—!
Ahead of him, several branching paths came into view.
The uneven ground leading there looked suspicious at a glance.
-Oh, he’s running.
-Did this guy not read the guide?
-Lol, 3 seconds till death.
-Goodbye~
Countless traps were embedded throughout the area.
Seeing Hanbit continue to run, the viewers expected a disaster.
But his actions diverged from expectations.
Tap—!
Leaping high, his foot planted against the nearest wall.
Just before his body dropped downward, Hanbit pushed off again.
“Waaah!”
Plona cried out in surprise at the bizarre act of jumping from wall to wall.
Her arms instinctively tightened around Hanbit’s neck.
-?
-What is this?
-He’s wall-jumping now? lol
-This solution is insane.
[함정 님 has donated 1,000 won.]
[Get down already, holy shit.]
Whoosh—!
Amid the flood of reactions, Hanbit continued leaping across the walls.
Despite the winding, complex structure, his movement speed steadily increased.
The countless traps embedded in the floor lay silent.
‘There.’
After crossing a few more walls, he spotted a gap in the right-hand passage.
Smooth ground where the uneven terrain ended.
Putting strength into his legs, Hanbit kicked toward it.
Tap—!
His body flew lightly through the air.
Plona had her eyes tightly shut, clinging to him since earlier.
Tak—!
Reaching the destination, Hanbit landed lightly on the floor.
Just a few steps ahead lay the uneven trap zone.
The long, arduous section that tormented others had ended this simply.
Naturally, the viewers’ reactions were explosive.
-Wow, that actually works as a shortcut;
-This is completely insane lol
-All the voodoo-cursing guys shut up now.
-He memorized the whole path?
-No, even I can memorize the early part.
-He’ll get stuck soon.
-Can’t do that from here on.
-This is a dungeon, you know.
The viewers concluded that he had merely memorized the entrance of the maze.
That prediction was completely wrong—but Hanbit himself knew well that this was a dungeon.
Grk—!
A sound came from nearby.
Crossing one wall, a much narrower passage appeared, where three goblins emerged.
[Goblin Archer (Lv.25)]
[Goblin Archer (Lv.25)]
[Goblin Warrior (Lv.26)]
Kigik—!
Spotting prey, the goblins moved toward him.
At the front was the warrior wielding an axe.
In the rear, two archers aimed their bows at Hanbit.
Juuuk—!
One archer drew the bowstring, taking aim.
Without slowing, Hanbit closed the distance in an instant, right up to the warrior’s face.
Whoosh—!
Right on timing, the goblin swung its axe in a wide arc.
Clang—!
With minimal force, Hanbit twisted the trajectory aside and slipped into the goblin’s guard.
Pook—!
Kieek—!
The warrior’s chest was pierced clean through, its eyes widening as the axe fell from its grip.
“Ugh!”
Plona, held close against Hanbit, now covered her eyes completely.
She could only grasp the situation through sound.
Juuuk—!
The two goblin archers had been aiming their bows all along.
But with their comrade’s body blocking the target, they hesitated to release the strings.
Ssk—
Flustered, they exchanged glances and tried to widen their angles.
At that moment, Hanbit pulled his hand free from the warrior’s side.
“Fire Burst.”
Fwoosh—!
A large fireball shot out, rushing toward them at tremendous speed.
By the time they noticed the flashing flames, it was already too late.
Puh-bung—!
Kieeek—!
Caught in the explosion, the two goblins screamed as their bodies twisted.
Without even watching their end, Hanbit kicked off again.
Chak—!
Puh-bung—!
The goblins that kept appearing were swept away by sword and magic alike.
Wind gathered around the blade, but this wasn’t the time to use that power.
“Uuuuh…….”
Clutching Hanbit tightly, Plona buried her face into his chest.
Even if she was scared, she had no choice but to endure for now.
-Wait, he never gets blocked?
-Why are goblins melting?
-He’s not even getting hit lol
-You could save Plona like this?
-Isn’t he already past halfway?
-Over 70 percent.
-Carrying Plona is insane.
The near-sprint movement speed and goblins dying instantly.
This repeated scene threw the viewers into confusion.
Normally, you’d get stuck in the maze, fighting swelling hordes of goblins in a slaughterfest.
Most players who brought Plona out of pity failed right here—hence the area’s infamy.
Chwaak—!
Hanbit’s charge, Plona in his arms, never slowed.
Thanks to Wind’s Movement overcoming stamina limits.
‘Last one.’
Hanbit’s gaze reached the final passage.
[Goblin Gatekeeper (Lv.28)]
[Goblin Gatekeeper (Lv.29)]
Two goblins stood guarding the exit.
Their size, massive weapons, and thick armor clearly set them apart.
Yet that dull-looking appearance itself was the key to the strategy.
Ssk—
Hiding his body behind the wall, Hanbit slowly moved closer.
And the moment he reached the nearby corner—
Tap—!
He kicked off, closing the distance in an instant.
Grk—!
Caught off guard, the goblins faltered as they took stance.
Their delayed reactions made them swing their weapons a beat too late.
That single beat decided life and death.
Chwaak—!
Before their weapons could even complete a proper trajectory, Hanbit’s blade flashed.
Kkeuk—!
Blood poured from their necks as the goblins collapsed with grotesque sounds.
Stepping on their fallen backs, Hanbit moved toward the exit.
He turned his gaze to the time displayed above.
[18:10]
‘A bit slower than expected.’
Carrying Plona had delayed him slightly.
And because even grazing attacks could be fatal, he had eliminated every goblin he encountered.
Now, only one gate remained—the boss.
-Oh?
-Took longer than expected?
-At least he cleared all the mobs.
-Failure, let’s go.
-Told you so.
-First place? Not even top ten lol
Seeing the time, the viewers were convinced the mission had failed.
Killing the boss within two minutes was impossible.
“Um… is it okay now?”
Plona asked cautiously from behind him.
“It’s okay now. I’ll put you down.”
Setting the girl down, Hanbit looked toward the massive door ahead.
Inside awaited the Elder Goblin.
The dungeon’s boss, a user of powerful wide-area magic.
‘This should be enough.’
Hanbit checked the wind gathered around his sword.
This accumulated power from the maze felt different from before.
Whoosh—!
Knowing Hanbit’s intent, the spirit Sylph compressed and held onto its wind.
Helping it cling close to the blade’s surface.
A sword with high spirit affinity would’ve been ideal, but this was sufficient.
“Wait here for a moment.”
“Ah, yes!”
Plona replied, turning from her curious gaze at the maze behind them.
Whoosh—!
A fierce wind surged from the sword in Hanbit’s hand.
[19:17]
The viewers’ eyes darted frantically between the screen and the time.
Drrr—
At his touch, the door opened automatically with a rumble.
Hanbit immediately took stance and poured strength into his legs.
And the moment the Elder Goblin revealed itself inside—
Tap—!
He surged toward it at tremendous speed.
[Boss: Elder Goblin (Lv.30)]
“Hm.”
The Elder Goblin, having sensed the intruder through the entrance ward.
It leisurely raised the hand holding its staff.
[19:19]
“Filthy intruder, you shall suffer a painful de—”
Whoosh—!
In that instant, its warning words stopped.
The intruder had reached it in the blink of an eye.
That speed was astonishing in itself.
But that wasn’t the important part.
[19:21]
Crack—!
The mana shield protecting the Elder Goblin.
Normally, it would only be broken after flooding the area with wide-area spells.
Yet for some reason, the intruder’s sword had already cleanly split the barrier.
[19:22]
“W-wait…!”
Clang—!
The panicked boss’s voice was drowned out by the sound of shattering glass.
And immediately after—
“Die.”
Pook—!
The blade, wrapped in violent wind, pierced straight through the goblin’s head.
[19:24]
